[01:56]★今日のおすすめ★ Deadly airstrikes continue to pummel Gaza as Israel musters huge force on border
Even before Israel launches what’s promised to be a massive assault on Gaza, Palestinian officials say this week-old war is already the deadliest Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

[14:58] How ‘thinly veiled’ social media ads are influencing what we eat and drink
News about food safety can be hard to keep straight. That’s been complicated by a little-known tactic used by the food and beverage industry to influence what we eat and drink through social media, the subject of a joint investigation by The Washington Post and The Examination. John Yang speaks with Washington Post health columnist Anahad O’Connor, who worked on the investigation, to learn more.
