That's hot news in today's newspapers everywhere and I like your news review on this matter, which is eye-catching to their film lovers and fans got topic to learn new things as well ♨
Yeah...BBC English learning TEAM lovin' and makes good job
even from very weird bad news👍🏻 deserves more 👍🏻and more subs💗
When you slap someone into the face you show your weaknesses rather than strong side
You both made a good team! very clear and well explained with a bit of sense of humour in it which makes the whole clip easy to get it.
Let's be honest, the prize should be revoked. His drama just overshadowed lots of great things such as the Troy Kotsur's acceptance speech in sign language. We should be talking about that a deaf man made history.
Love all video both you presented i is excited to listen
Love this video, thank you so much, been using it for my classes
You both are Great Teachers! Thanks 😊❤

Will Smith hit Chris Rock at the Oscar ceremonies on Sunday night?
Yes, he will.
LOL, good one
😂😂😂😂
😂
That's made my day 💗
Thank you/
Could you explain slammed expression
Slammed means criticise strongly. Overshadow means make something less important. Press charge: official complaint
this is a good news review.
Does overshadow mean dominate as well
very good
I learned about slammed first time....😀😀
Oh my God I'm learning english insults with Will Smith.
I love this lesson its overshadow all other lessons 😉😉😉
I am not covering up for Will Smith. But, as soon as he was his wife rolling eyes at Chris's disrespectful joke for her, Smith just laughed off his joke, he should've controlled his anger. It wasn't a wiseful act to walk upon the stage and hit a comedian who was just joking around there, Chris seemed to have been reading out the joke from somewhere on stage. If Will Smith and his wife got intensely hurt by his joke, Will Smith could've talked out the things with Chris off the stage. I must say that Will Smith shouldn't have taken matters in his hands and punched Chris on the face. It is absolutely a physical assault. What if after some days, when someday like Will Smith wouldn't sit well with a comedian's joke about them, they just bolt towards the comedian to hit him. I truly condemn his act. Chris had a chance to respond his punch, but he chose to continue with his play.
I agree.
thanks BBC
my note when watching
1. overshadow: causing something to be less important
- A was fed up with her studies because her sister’s top scores overshadowed her academic performance
2. press charges: file a police report
- J didn’t want to press charges after her money was stolen
3. slam: criticize strongly
- M is slammed by his neighbors because of his loud music at midnight
Great examples - keep up the good work!
Hi there. It sounds like you are really trying hard to improve your English - but like learning anything you need to give your brain time to process all this new information. Learning a language can be an incredibly complex process and will take a long time. Whilst using lots of different sources of information can be useful it can also create stress and confusion. Our suggestion is to make sure that you take a break - give yourself time to process new information and and don't put too much pressure on yourself. In the long term this will be better for your learning.
hope that helps.
Surely there's no limit on learning in many ways. Never expected that news could be a learning material.

Sorry i cant get properly the word SLAMMED can anyone explain for me.
Press charges = file complaint against sb
Overshadowed someone means 让someone 黯然失色，I like the translation
Sorry, instead of "slammed" shoudn't be "was slammed?
I do really like this method

Ah, the Oscars...an annual event where some of the most privileged people working in one of the most corrupt industries get to publically pat themselves on the back for how inclusive and progressive they are
So does news use diffirent words to acttract audience？ I don't know these words 😂
OSCAR is one the most important reward of film but Will Smith ' punching action has slammed for them to rebound of the standard strategy to evaluate who is deserved for the prize.

He didn't intend to press charges agains the bully.

If I were Chris, I would press charges against Will Smith
So would I
From my perspective, I totally disagree with Smith's action the last Sunday, which arises from the fact that The Oscars Awards show is the place to honor the talent and the best actors/actresses. Thus, this should not let those acts of violence take place.
Agree nas I am not going to focus my students' attention on this topic.
The Oscar Video makes me feel very uneasy and disturbing.And even worse, like believing America is a very violent country and you 'd be in danger just walking in the streets, hearing music on your MobilePhone. I didn't like at all what I saw❌
It was shocking to me, who would guess that such a thing like that would happen? In my view, both were wrong, and violence only generates more violence. The joke was out of line, but on the flip side, Will Smith's slap was extreme.
It's really ignorant to feel you can ignore violence. An example, if Ukraine dosent defend itself they would be taken over by a foreign power.
I don't believe you on 8.11, Roy. It really comes, the headline, from the sun ? ¿?
This was a woke/cancel culture stunt. Rock, never put his hand up to his face after the alleged hit. Smith is a trained actor, who knows how to fake a hit. His apology afterwards was a well rehearsed statement.
They should both be given Oscars!!!!
Overshadow press charges Hefty vice captain lightweight under my budget apparel flammability outspoken slammed
We know how the film industry treats domestic violence, I wonder what will it do with the violence on the stage?
Will Smith laughs at the joke, then feels guilty and knows he's in for a very moody, 'how-could-you-betray-me-like-that-by-laughing?' ride home in the limo. So Smith then slaps Rock to save his own skin and feel good about himself (see: guilt complex about not defending his mother as subconscious trigger). Look at the expression of empowerment on his face; you think that's for for his wife? The shouting and swearing were done to reinforce and validate the 'authenticity' of his reaction as being motivated by sympathy. It was not. Will Smith was basically saving his own skin, which is what his acceptance speech was about. If he and his wife had just left in silence and refused to receive the Oscar for best actor, then THAT would have been worthy of a standing ovation
The Los Angeles Police department said they are ready to arrest Will Smith for Battery. Legally speaking Will broke the Law, however, the remark made by Chris was in my opinion also a violation of law. Fighting words constitute disturbing the peace. By Using language which is inherently likely to cause a violent reaction.
cái này chắc lâu lắm rồi
Will Smith is a cool guy, he protected his wife. No one is allowed to mock, especially after her illness. He is a cool actor, he is a cool dad and he is a cool husband!
No, no, and another no...there was nothing cool about will smith on this occasion. He let himself down badly. He should be ashamed of himself.
@@dee8714 You may think the joke is mild because Alopecia just not happen with you. Or even it happened to you I dont think everyone could deal with it and think the joke is mild as you can. You don’t know how much they lose confident with it. So, Please just remember making fun with people appearance is never fun.
And actually I disagree with what Will did.
cheap hollywood production
Rock or any comedians should be sensitive while cracking joke. Jada Pinkett Smith has her own personal health issues & anyone in the right state of mind, don't crack a joke which will bring pain or insult to others which the rock did.
Sometimes words are more damaging than physical assaults.
Will Smith should not had gone with physical assault & should have opted a verbal way for resorting. But then everyone has their own set of mental status & limitations on what & how they can handle situations.
Cris Rock is equality or to be blamed more for this incident. He should know to use words wisely & know on which to crack jokes.. Someone elses trauma is not a joke for others.
If this irresponsible joke was not made, then this slapping incident wouldn't have happened.
But again, The way Chris handled & went on with the show after the slap is very appreciable.
Can’t agree more.
sometimes words hurt people more and so disappointed why a lot of people don’t understand that.
Actually I disgree with what Will did but this would not happen if there is no cause.
Black privilege
Will Smith is a violent man. I would be scared to joke around him. He needs to deal with his anger in a therapy.
I wish I give you 2 likes but there is only one..

This embarrassing farrago isn't really about Will Smith, who is taking the blame here - it' really all about his wife, who has slithered off, martyred and victimized. The focus here needs to be on her, and her part in this. Will Smith is done now. And in my opinion, his wife is responsible.
I will never watch this dude and his films anymore . I have just thrown my bad boys cd collection in the bin. His actions in the Awards night are unacceptable and dispicable. If he had done it outside the awards nite, he would have been arrested and charged for assault. The Academy Awards must send a strong mesage that they do not tolerate this behaviour and they do not condone the actions of this actor. he must be banned from the Academy Awards for numerous years, and strip of his oscars. I hope the public will stop watching his films as a protest to his unacceptable behaviour that night.
But he had to tolerate this dumb comedian? If you talk shit about people you should be ready for the feedback
Love how it's now ok to verbally abuse someone about their illnesses under the pretense of a joke but it's not ok to physically abuse someone whilst defending your spouse.
Both were in the wrong yet people like you will happily condemn one and defend the other. It's utterly pathetic.
Also I'm sure Will Smith couldn't give two shits about what you throw in the bin. Go watch some real news rather than crying about two overpaid celebrities having a petty falling out, y'know like the issues in Ukraine?
UK eccent🤮
