[00:00] Introduction
[02:00] Humanitarian relief arrives in Gaza as Israel prepares to step up attacks
The first truckloads of supplies were allowed into Gaza from Egypt on Saturday, a small but significant aid delivery after nearly two weeks of war. Meanwhile, Israel’s military is vowing to increase its airstrikes against the Hamas-led territory and the possibility of an Israeli ground invasion still looms large. Special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen reports.

[07:16] UN aid chief hopes to increase flow of critical supplies to Gaza
Twenty trucks of humanitarian aid crossed into Gaza from Egypt on Saturday, the first life-saving supplies to reach Gazans since the Israel-Hamas war began. Before the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, 450 trucks of aid arrived daily in Gaza. UN aid chief Martin Griffiths joins Lisa Desjardins to discuss what this new aid means for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

[14:03]★今日のおすすめ★ A child psychologist’s advice for talking with kids about the Israel-Hamas war
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, news and social media have been filled with horrific images and stories of civilians killed, wounded and taken hostage. This information can be especially tough for kids to digest. Duke University child psychologist Robin Gurwitch joins Yasmeen Alamiri to discuss how adults can talk about this difficult issue with kids.
《戦争について子どもとどう話すか; 児童心理学者に聞く; Robin Gurwitch, Duke University; Yasmeen Alamiri, Senior Editor for video and special projects at the PBS NewsHour; do we talk to our kids about the war at all? -- absolutely positively yes; when we don't talk about difficult things, children may not bring it up because they are worried they are going to upset you; all of the science tells us if adults will bring it up, they have a better chance of helping children cope with what is going on, take a deep breath, and jump into that conversation; 》
[20:16]★今日のおすすめ★ Swim safety advocates aim to overcome historic racial inequities
Learning how to swim is a rite of passage for many, but a surprising number of American children can’t swim. Part of that comes down to access and restrictions rooted in racism that have kept generations of swimmers out of pools. Isabella Jibilian of Rhode Island PBS reports.
《子供の溺死、人種による違いとその背景にある人種差別の歴史; Isabella Jibilian, Rhode Island PBS; Mara Gay, New York Times; according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black children are 1.5 times more likely and native American children are 2 times more likely than white children to die of drowning; for Black Americans, that gap is rooted in slavery; so black Americans, many people know we were not allowed to learn how to read during slavery. many times they also weren't allowed to learn how to swim, and that's because it would've made it easier to escape to freedom. dogs couldn't track your scent in water, which was known among enslaved Americans. during segregation, you had public pools that were not open to black Americans; even after segregation ended, many black Americans were still unwelcome; many communities across the South, but also elsewhere, unfortunately, chose to fill in, destroy or close their public pools, rather than allow Black Americans to swim in them. So, white wealthier Americans who were able to, started forming their own clubs, their own neighborhood associations that were, of course, segregated. and the rest of America was shut out; Orca Aquatics; Swim Empowerment, a program to sponsor swim lessons for black and low-income youth; 》
[22:14] Isabella: Even after segregation ended, many Black Americans were still unwelcome. Storyteller V Raffini grew up in Rhode Island.
>> Pools were not segregated but they were racist, and when we got there, we dealt with the racism. I can remember them calling us names like the walking Tootsie Roll, or there's a Hershey Bar in the pool. you know, all straight out, coming out with the n-word.
[** Tootsie Roll = a chocolate-flavored taffy // taffy = A soft, chewy candy made from boiled sugar, molasses, or corn syrup and butter ]
[** Hershey Bar = a chocolate bar manufactured by The Hershey Company ]
[** n-word = (euphemistic) nigger // nigger = (extremely offensive 差別的、使用不可) A black person ]
