Hello, I'm Phil.
And I'm Beth.
In this programme, we look up.
one big news story, and the vocabulary in the headlines that will help you understand it.
You can find all the vocabulary and headlines from this episode as well as the worksheets on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
So, let's hear more about this story.
AFD won the highest number of seats in the election but could struggle to form a state
government as other parties are refusing to work with them.
AFD voters have raised concerns about asylum and immigration and green policies.
They also want to stop German military aid to Ukraine.
And we have a headline here that describes the reaction to this election.
Europe reels from far-right victory in Eastern Germany elections and that's from Euronews.
Again that headline Europe reels from far-right victory in Eastern Germany elections and that is from Euronews.
So this headline is talking about how political figures around Europe have reacted to this result.
And we have this expression real from, which is what we're looking at.
Now real from physically means to walk, stumbling from side to side, looking like you're about to fall.
Yeah, if you can imagine boxes in a fight, if they've been hit really hard.
from the blow.
from around Europe have reacted to news from the German election.
They shocked.
OK, so we had real from, which is to be left shocked and confused by something.
For example, workers were left reeling from the news that the factory would be closing.
This is Learning English from the news, our podcast about the news headlines.
Today we're talking about the recent victory for the far right AFD in the German state of Now,
one of the reasons why people are taking notice of or even reeling from,
in some cases,
this news, is that it's the first time a far-right party has won a German state election since the Nazis in the 1930s.
Now, the next story we're looking at is about how the AFD have become popular among young people.
The story talks about the party's use of social Focus on migration and asylum issues,
opposition to green policies and opposition to involvement in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
and that is from the spectator, which is a British magazine.
Yes, that headline again, the AFD is winning over Germany's youth and that's from the spectator here in the UK.
Now, here we're looking at the phrasal verb win over.
You can see that it has the word win, but we don't use it in quite the same way, do we Phil?
No, win over means to persuade someone.
particularly to get them to support you or agree with you.
And win over is often used when we don't think that people will be easy to persuade.
We think that they will be hard to win over.
So an example Beth, you said you could make me the best cup of coffee I'd ever tasted.
Now I didn't believe you, but that cup you made this morning, it was amazing, it completely won me over.
Yay, that's good.
I will make you a coffee again then.
Ah, amazing.
So that was win over to persuade someone to support you.
OK, so an example, he knew they would be a difficult class, so the teacher worked hard to win them over.
This is learning English from the news, from BBC Learning English.
We're talking about the success of the AFD in the recent German state elections.
Now, while the AFD have become the largest party in the Thuringia state government, all
the major parties have said that they aren't prepared to
The next story is about how they are more likely to use influence behind the scenes.
The headline is, Germany's far right will govern from the sidelines, and that's from Prospect, which is a British magazine.
So that headline again, Germany's far right will govern from the sidelines, and that's from Prospect, a magazine here in the UK.
Now we're looking at the phrase, from the sidelines.
Literally, sidelines are the lines that are at the side of a sports pit.
So, if you think of a match or a game, the manager, the substitutes and the crowd are not on the pitch.
So, they can't have a direct impact on the game, but they can have some From the sidelines.
Yeah, so we can use from the sidelines as a metaphor if you're trying to do something from the sidelines Then you're not directly involved
Yes, and perhaps an example of that could be here Beth and I are here in the studio
But there's also a producer who is controlling things from the sidelines So in this headline going back to?
to that.
From the sidelines here it that although the AFD might find it hard to formally enter into the state government they will still have a strong influence on German politics.
So we have from the sidelines which means without being directly involved.
For example my friend is trying to get a job, I've been practicing interview so I've been helping her from the sidelines.
That's it for this episode of Learning English from the News.
We'll be back next week with another news story.
