主播：本期新闻报道涵盖了三个主要事件：美国和英国对也门胡塞武装控制地区发动的空袭、台湾即将举行的总统选举以及以色列对南非在国际法院提出的种族灭绝指控的回应。 Greg Myre：美国和英国对也门胡塞武装目标发动空袭，以回应胡塞武装对红海商船的袭击。美国总统拜登表示，空袭旨在阻止胡塞武装进一步袭击，但胡塞武装誓言报复，此举可能加剧地区冲突。伊朗被认为是胡塞武装的主要支持者，为其提供武器和情报。 Rob Schmitz：南非指控以色列对加沙地带犯下种族灭绝罪，以色列在国际法院进行反驳。南非要求法院发布临时裁决以阻止以色列的军事行动，但最终裁决可能需要数年时间。国际社会对该案件高度关注，法院内外都有大量民众表达各自立场。 Emily Fang：台湾即将举行总统选举，执政的民进党候选人赖清德主张减少与中国的接触，而国民党候选人侯友宜则主张加强与中国的接触。选举结果将对台海关系产生重大影响，中国正密切关注选举结果，并采取各种措施试图影响选举结果。 主播: 本期节目总结了也门、台湾和以色列的最新局势，分别涉及军事冲突、政治选举和国际法律诉讼。这些事件都具有国际影响，值得持续关注。
