That news reminds me of Mariana - Brazil. But instead of water, what has overflowed throught the broken dam was mud! Terrible disaster!

Nice session! I am learning new vocabulary from your class. Thanks for help.

this program is good.

if BBC can add subtitle, the program can be better. sometimes i think they speak fast! i love the program!

Hello Neil and Catrin, I like your program, its excellent explanations of words

the programma is well, especially for the transcription but i have a little confusion about the word beneath , I hear below

you are great..

Neil has some good stories

This program is quite good : they study a lot of words that I didn't knew. I reccomend it for everybody (begginners or avanced) Thank you BBC [France]

excellent program

Hello and welcome to News Review the program where we show you how to use the language from the latest News stories in your everyday English. Hi, I'm Neil joining me is Catherine. Hi, Catherine? Hi, Neil? So, what is our story ,today? Today's story Neil is about potential disaster that people are working very hard to avoid. Ok,well,it sounds very serious. Let's hear some more from this BBC News report. So, A story from America there and there is a massive dam , and now Dam is a barrier which is made by people to hold a large amount of water in one place usually either on a river or a lake or a reservoir. Now this dam in Califonia looks like it's going to break this will cause a huge amount of water and all the people who are living in the path of this water have been asked to leave their home while they will try to fix damage. Ok, well, you've been looking at this story online in the various news websites and picking out the vocabulary that you need to talk about this story. and what have you got come up with? We've got three really ussful expressions. The first one is "evacuate" , second is "overflow" and we have an expression "race against the clock" So, how are these appearing in the headlines? OK, well, let's go to BBC News first. and headline here is "Oroville Dam risk: Thousands ordered to evacuate homes." Ok,so, evacuate meaing leave a place because of danger. exactly that, yes and in this case people have to evacuate their homes because of the problem of the water that may come from the dam and kill everybody basically. so they evacuate homes. but it's interesting words ,isn't it? who is ( ) evacuating or what's evacuating of , can be confusing. absolutely , in this case , our headline here, it says evacuate homes. the place that you're living becomes the object of the verb "evacuate" but you can also evacuate people. so we could say that headline could say "Califonia authorities evacuate people from their homes. so two ways you can use , you can work with this verb. So, it's as a verb there as you say. it's a also noun ,the noun being "evacuation" yes, the evacuation is happening right now in the Califonia as we speak. and people? They are evacuees. They are evacuees. which is not the same as refugee. No,no it's slightly diffe,,, there's a similar idea of people leaving. but evacuate generally go because of specific danger it's usually for a short time when the dangers past ,they return to their home. refugee has to do with war, it's often for a longer time. and in its specific situation of war in particular , yeah. and this word evacuated is also interesting because it's neither formal nor informal. isn't it? NO,no you can use it in any situation , in fact, if you try to think of a synonym for evacuee or evacuate there probably isn't one, unless leaving a place because of danger, if the fire alarm goes off now ,we'll evacate this studio. yes, yes, there's no like a less formal ,phrasal verb or something like that. they're often ( ) in English. no ,no, I think evacuate is a specific for this particular stuation. leave a place because of danger quickly, is evacuate. Have you ever been evacuated? No, I haven't , Have you? I have been evacuated, when I was a small boy, in the 1970's I believe that. I lived in Canada, and there was a rail accident, a train carring dangerous chemicals derailed. and in the middle of the night I believe that family had to come to us , they were evacuated, "to your house, right" to further away from where this accident happened. and then we were called and told to move as well. and then we were evacuated. Wow, so a massive evacuation. There was an evacuation. It sounds really exciting. It was. for a small boy. Yes. Shall we move on to our next headline? Ok, so, looking at CBN news we have, "CAlifornia Evacuates Residents as Flooded Dam Treatens to Overflow. to overflow, that means, well there's a situation where there's more water than can be contained. exactely that, yes, and it comes with word "over" often when we put it in front of another word , it means too much of something. so overflow means to spill because there's too much. in this case the Dam is going to overflow so everyone have to leave. it can be a verb and it can be a noun. and the pronuncition changes slightly ,so let's do it as a verb first. Neil? to overflow,. very good, stress on the? final syllobal a,ha, and when it's a noun? overflow. with stress on the? first syllobal. very good, Neil, very good. and overflow, the overflow in your bathroom , you know you've got a sink in your bathroom, in your kitchen or bath, and there's a hole near the top of the bathroom sink, that's called an overflow. and when it gets too full of water, it will travel down that emergency evacuation pipe. yes, it's called overflow. and it's there to prevent overflowing. it is actually, ( ) yes. Ok, we also use this word in non literal sense. we can do, yes, special day , today, isn't it? Valentein's day.Neil, are you overflowing with love , ( ) ? I am, which explains why this studio is glowing red. so, emotional word. you can overflow with any emotion. you can be anger, you can be happiness, you can overflow with pride as a someone's achivement. but you can use, it means you've got a lot of lot of emotions you're really feeling it. Let's move on to our final headline. yeah,now we're looking at the Independent. so race against clock means try to complete something urgent in a short space or time. absolutely, this is perfect for this situation. this disaster, if it happens , will be really big. so they've got a limited amount of time to do two things. one is to evacuate all these people in danger. and second thing is to try and fix the damage so they're doing a lot of work , it's really urgent, and they haven't got much time. they're racing against clock. and you can also say race against the time. it's a very visual expression , isn't it? imagine people running to get things done and the clock ticking. yes, absolutely, it's really does conjure sort of great mental image as very memorable and perfect to describe like this urgency of this situation , yeah. Do we have a race against time, Catherine? well, it's Tuesday, Neil, we've got to get this program out. you've been working all morning. I've been racing against the clock. and we're just about to get there , I think. just about to get it done, I think.

I tried to make a transcript but it's really hard. I could understand the main meaning but not word by word. Thanks to your transcript I knew every word ^^ I think you got everything here. Some blanks you left are really difficult to fill. I'm not sure I got them correct ( ) _ who is doing the evacuation and what's evacuating of ( ) _ used ( ) _ it's certainly The last one, i have no idea :))

Luong Hau This sentence you suggest "Who is doing evacuating" is I think correct. I can hear now it as "doing" thanks :-) but the third one still sounds like to me that she says "interestingly". but if that's the interestingly what does that phrase mean, I have no idea. thanks for correcting my blanks. see you next wendesday. :-)

Good video

hello bcc I don't know if I understood wrong at the beginning of the news I heard below instead of beneath, may you confirm that for me please?

Yes, there was a mistake in the text. It should have said 'below' and and not 'beneath'. Sorry about that! Thank you for letting us know.

Treatens, no; threatens, yes.

Great vocabulary lesson; words are right up my alley, I've got to say. The verb 'to evacuate' is originally derived from Latin and basically means 'to clear the contents of'. The related words are: evacuation, evacuative, and evacuee. Thanks for giving me food for thought. Much appreciated.

We can use "Move out" in place of Evacuate. Can't we?

Keep going

When we try to prevent brawls in public places like pubs we employ buddy guards, etc. when we want prevent the diabetes ,we punish victims ,but not the villains .Isn't that a very sad irony !

Is this program on doing on daily basis...
