今日の英語ニュース☆2023.11.06☆時事英語・ニュース英語を極める
週末版の字幕はいつも間違いや省略が非常に多いのですが、今日は、比較的少なかったので字幕ファイルを作りました。
オリジナルの字幕は大文字表記のものを使いましたが、一度すべて小文字に変換してから使いましたので、今日の字幕ファイルは小文字表記になっています (書き加えた部分などは一部大文字) 。
比較用に、訂正前のオリジナルの字幕もアップロードしておきます。
動画サイトの週末版の字幕は、翌日以降に比較的正確なものに差し替えられるようです。
このnoteや字幕ファイルでは、辞書を調べても分からないような英語表現を説明しています（辞書を引けば分かる言葉は、自分で調べてください）。辞書に載ってないような表現、辞書にあっても意味がたくさんありすぎてどれなのか分からない言葉、文脈の中で特殊な使われ方をしている言葉、背景の知識がないと分からない部分、ニュース英語や時事英語の独特な表現、知っていると訳に立ちそうな表現などを説明しています（書き加えた説明は[* ……] ）。
それでは、今日も一緒に英語のニュースを見ていきましょう！

[06:33] News Wrap
Ukraine’s president called on the U.S. to provide more funding in his country’s ongoing war with Russia, Russia’s military says it successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile designed to carry nuclear warheads, Moldova held elections amid claims of Russian meddling, and a new course record was set at the New York City marathon.
《モルドバ選挙; モルドヴァ; 》
[07:36] Voters went to the polls in Moldova today for nationwide local elections amid claims of Russian meddling. The former Soviet republic sits between Romania and Ukraine, and last year became a candidate for EU membership. Today's vote will elect nearly 900 mayors and 11,000 local councilors. Authorities there maintain Russia has been conducting hybrid warfare to undermine the vote and two days ago, the prime minister announced a ban on candidates from a pro-Russian party.

[08:53] How Israel’s judicial reform protesters shifted focus to aiding victims of Hamas
For months, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul plan triggered massive protests across the nation. But after Hamas’ bloody assault on Israel on Oct. 7, groups protesting Netanyahu’s government turned their resources toward aiding Israeli soldiers and civilians affected by the attack. Lee Hoffmann Agiv, field operations manager of Bonot Alternativa, joins John Yang to discuss.

[15:40]★今日のおすすめ★ What’s causing the unusually high number of drug shortages in the U.S.
Shortages of over-the-counter drugs and prescription medications for ADHD, cancer and diabetes have been disrupting hospitals and pharmacies for the past year. Now, RSV treatments for infants are the latest to be affected. Michael Ganio, a senior director at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, joins Ali Rogin to discuss what’s driving the shortages and what can be done about it.
《長引く医薬品不足; 原因と対策; Michael Ganio, a senior director at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 》
[19:34] Back in 2018 and into 2019, several agencies worked together to develop a report on the root causes of drug shortages. Two of the root causes that are really interesting that we're focused on are the economics of the drug shortage problem. We're talking about a lot of older, generic, sterile injectable drugs. These are difficult to manufacture because of the sterility, but they also have very slim profit margins. So, there's really not a lot of economic interest in getting into this market or expanding a portfolio into this market.
