It’s amazing too but I would miss the faces of the presenters like Neil, Beth, Georgie, Phil

[@bbclearningenglish]

We hope you enjoy the new BBC Learning English from the News just as much as BBC News Review! We’ll be publishing a new episode every Wednesday.

[@okge]

It's not a good choice to change"Learning English from the News" into a podcast version, since there are too many podcasts in this channel....Seeing Neil ,Georgie and others is the soul of this program

[@_F_PhanThiPhuongAnh]

Is it BBC News Review? If so, I hope I could see Neil and others like it was in the past😰

[@bbclearningenglish]

Thanks for your question. This is a reversion of News Review. We regularly review and update our programmes to help our audiences improve their English. We’re really excited about our new weekly podcast ‘Learning English from the News’ and we hope you enjoy it!

[@LC-vb4ii]

Far right??? Why don't you name right, instead? Should call extreme left, or far left. Would be more precise.

[@manuela7182]

Far better the earlier version, I'm afraid. It was easier to follow the headlines and the explanations.

[@hedtube1]

That was amazing but I couldn't access to the link related to the vocabulary of this episode

[@pattyyu4394]

Where are Neil, Beth, Dan and Catherine….

[@bhaveshkumarbarot454]

New experience to hear altered version of BBC news review..

[@Brian-fo6ew]

I really dig "Learning English from the News"! It's longer so that we can learn more about the news story discussed in the programme! Plus, it uses the music from News Review, which offers a lot of nostalgia!

[@bbclearningenglish]

We're glad you enjoyed the first episode of our new series! Stay tuned for more.

[@BrianBrian-qn8sc]

There was a power surge earlier, and BBC Learning English Town is in a blackout. The people doing the repairs are making gains, but it will be at least tomorrow until electricity is restored. The citizens of BBC Learning English Town are slumping in their chairs now.

I've been listening to BBC Learning English since 2008. News Review is a fantastic podcast for those who are moving from intermediate to advanced level of English. I'm very happy to see the podcast has again been extended to its original length of 9-10 minutes. But, I also miss the original casual, breezy, conversational video-recorded format of News Review made in the studio (while the two presenters are seated). And one thing I'm definitely glad not to see there anymore is, "Rob's biscuits stealing joke" which was so overused by the script writers and in the end became a cliché. A regular audience finds repetition really unoriginal and boring. Kudos to everyone at BBC Learning English. You're the best! (This includes those who are no longer with you too such as Alice, Callum, and many others).

[@bbclearningenglish]

Thanks for being such a regular viewer and listener :) We are pleased you are enjoying the new format.

[@user-ks2vv4ki4s]

Can i get every episode script?

[@NellyAguilar-bx5qv]

8:00 what being either or neither mean?

[@sandrajansen4398]

Very interesting the subject! We can learn and stay up to date at the same time! Thanks a lot! ❤

[@bbclearningenglish]

We're glad you enjoyed it! There will be a new episode of BBC Learning English from the News every Wednesday. Stay tuned!

[@hoangphuctran9310]

I get used to the old format of News Reviews but I think the new one is not bad. By the way, changes and renews is necessary when learning English.

I love video english class. I hope that you will make video engliss class again!

[@milly5678899]

The gain of the far right is my loss.Having said that I want to talk about the kind of podcast BBC is giving us. It might seem that I'm sucking up the BBC, but considering that we get these podcast and others with people teaching us all types of subjects and all are for free, we should be more than grateful. Sorry, but that's my opinion.

[@salvatoreterzi5924]

I was exhasted that I slumped heavaly on the bed falling asleep

[@inglesparaavanzar7409]

Why did you say "far"? We'd highly appreciate your answer.

[@rafaelc.s3326]

Hopefully, things will take a turn for the better in Europe, and it will not be more seen as a weak continent by China and Russia, now with far right in power. The far left rulers in Europe have left so much to desire in terms of society, culture, customs etc. etc. etc. By the way, in a healthy democracy, power should change hands from time to time. Thanks a lot. Great as usual!

[@sherry77753]

No wonder can’t find the new episode in the ‘news review’ playlist, and no matter how many episodes should each playlist contains now only 20 of them are visible…. Noooooooooooo

[@tafrero2514]

4:38 how did you call the 0? Nought? Or something? Is it another way of saying 0?

[@bbclearningenglish]

Yes, this is 'nought'. It's another way to say 'zero' and it's common in British English, especially when we are are talking about decimal points, like '0.3'.

[@jalilkarbalai1781]

Great video.
