From BBC Learning English, this is Learning English from the News,
2
our podcast about the news headlines.
3
In this programme, the impact of the US-Israel war with Iran around the world.
4
Hello, I'm Phil.
5
And I'm Pippa.
6
In this podcast, we look at one big news story and the vocabulary in the headlines that will help you understand it.
7
You can find all the vocabulary and headlines from this episode as well as a worksheet on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
8
So let's hear more about this story.
9
The US-Israel war with Iran continues,
10
causing deaths and injuries in Iran and elsewhere in the region.
11
The conflict is also impacting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz,
12
which is the stretch of sea near Iran that allows ships to reach the open ocean.
13
The US military says it has eliminated 16 Iranian mine-laying ships in the area.
14
Iran continues its strikes across the region,
15
including in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait.
16
People in Tehran have told BBC News Persian about heavy strikes and power cuts.
17
On Monday, US President Donald Trump said the war was very far ahead of schedule and very complete, pretty much.
18
Aside from the human cost,
19
the war has had an impact on the global price of oil
20
because of the difficulty shipping oil from the region and the uncertainty over how long the war could last.
21
Our first headline is about this.
22
This is from the Washington Post, a US newspaper.
23
Oil prices seesaw as Trump sends mixed messages on what's next in Iran.
24
That headline again from the Washington Post.
25
Oil prices seesaw as Trump sends mixed messages on what's next in Iran.
26
This headline says oil prices seesaw.
27
That means they've been going up and down sharply in response to what President Trump has been saying.
28
We're interested in this phrase, sends mixed messages.
29
What does it mean to send mixed messages?
30
Well, if you send someone mixed messages,
31
you do or say things that cause confusion about what you really mean.
32
Yes, so in this story,
33
President Trump spoke to journalists.
34
He told CBS News, the war is very complete, pretty much.
35
But when asked if military operations would end soon,
36
he replied, I don't know, it depends.
37
Right, and that could be described as sending mixed messages.
38
It's unclear what Trump is planning and whether the war will end soon.
39
We can use the phrase send mixed messages in more everyday situations too.
40
For example, in relationships, if someone sends mixed messages,
41
you're not sure whether they like you or not.
42
There's a similar phrase, send mixed signals,
43
and it means the same thing.
44
We've had send mixed messages.
45
Do or say things that cause confusion about what you mean.
46
For example, my boss is sending me mixed messages about whether I'll be promoted.
47
Sometimes she praises me, sometimes she criticises me.
48
This is Learning English from the News, from BBC Learning English.
49
We're talking about the impact of the US-Israel war with Iran.
50
As we've mentioned, oil prices have risen sharply since the war began,
51
though they fell slightly again after Trump spoke to reporters.
52
The war is likely to impact the economies of countries around the world.
53
Higher oil prices can make other things we buy more expensive,
54
such as food and clothes.
55
In the UK, Prime Minister Sakhir Starmer has said it is likely the conflict will impact the UK economy.
56
Let's have another headline.
57
This is from BBC News.
58
Chris Mason, the cost of living is catapulted centre stage yet again.
59
That headline again.
60
Chris Mason, the cost of living is catapulted centre stage yet again.
61
And that's from BBC News.
62
This headline talks about the cost of living,
63
which refers to the recent price increases for basic things like food and energy in the UK.
64
Chris Mason is a political journalist at the BBC.
65
We're looking at this phrase centre stage.
66
Stage makes me think of the theatre,
67
but what does that have to do with price increases?
68
Well, you're right, Phil.
69
Centre stage literally means the middle of a stage,
70
like like you might see at the theatre or a concert.
71
But this phrase is metaphorical.
72
If something is centre stage,
73
it's important and has a lot of attention.
74
Right.
75
So in the headline, the cost of living is catapulted centre stage,
76
that means price increases have suddenly become the most important thing that everyone's talking about,
77
because of the impact of the US-Israel war with Iran.
78
This headline uses the phrase catapulted centre stage, which is very dramatic.
79
But we most commonly hear the phrase takes centre stage.
80
This just means that something becomes the most important thing or starts to get everyone's attention.
81
Yes.
82
So an example would be at the end of the school year,
83
exams usually take centre stage as pupils begin to revise.
84
We've had centre stage, the most important thing or the thing that everyone is paying attention to.
85
For example, green energy will be centre stage again at this year's climate conference.
86
This is Learning English from the News from BBC Learning English.
87
We're talking about the impact of the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran.
88
Whilst US-Israel's strikes have continued against Iran,
89
Iran has continued to retaliate.
90
A new supreme leader of Iran has also been named after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed by strikes last week.
91
The new supreme leader is Khamenei's son, Mujtaba Khamenei.
92
Some pro-establishment crowds have taken to the streets to celebrate the appointment,
93
but other people in Iran do not support the leader and believe he will continue his father's policies.
94
Iran's police chief said any Iranians thinking of protesting against the
95
government would be dealt with in the same way we deal with the enemy.
96
Let's have another headline.
97
This is from Sky News, a British news organisation.
98
What we know about Iran's new supreme leader,
99
Mujahideen Hamenei, and why his appointment doesn't bode well for peace.
100
That headline again from Sky News.
101
What we know about Iran's new supreme leader,
102
Muhtabar Khamenei, and why his appointment doesn't bode well for peace.
103
This headline is about the new supreme leader in Iran.
104
We're interested in this phrase, doesn't bode well.
105
Yes.
106
Bode well means be a sign that good things will happen in the future.
107
In this headline, bode well is used in the negative.
108
It says the appointment of the new leader doesn't bode well for peace.
109
This means it isn't a good sign that this decision does not make peace more likely.
110
Bode well is quite an old-fashioned phrase,
111
but we do use it in more everyday context in English.
112
For example, good sales figures at the start of the year could bode well for a company's profits.
113
You might also sometimes see the phrase bode ill.
114
This means something is a sign that bad things will happen in the future.
115
We've had bode well.
116
Be a sign that good things will happen in the future.
117
For example, she went to the doctors and they wanted to do lots of tests,
118
which doesn't bode well.
119
That's it for this episode of Learning English from the News.
120
We'll be back next week with another news story.
