he's a review from BBC Learning English Hello and welcome to News Review This show where we show you how to use the language from the news in your everyday English I'm Catherine, and joining me today is Tom.

Okay, so let's hear from this BBC World Service News Bulletin.

The Mexican president elect, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has urged the authorities in southern Mexico to protect the thousands of migrants making their way towards the United States.

He was speaking in the southern state of Chiapas, where the migrant caravan has reached the city of Tapachula.

President Trump has said migrants will be turned away if they reach the U.

Between five and 7000 people are traveling through Mexico to reach the United States.

However, President Trump says when they arrive he doesn't want to let them into the country.

And you've been looking at the headlines about story.

You've picked out three words for us today.

Three words are Caravan vows on hysteria.

My first headline comes from NPR National Public Radio.

It says migrant caravan moving towards the US swells to about 5000 people.

Okay, so caravan now, when I was a child, my grand parents had a caravan.

It's like a vehicle, like a big van you can live in where you can live.

Had a bathroom and cooker in the bed and everything.

So is this the kind of thing we're talking about here?

Well, it relates to transport, So it's similar, but no.

Okay, a caravan is a group of people all moving towards the same destination.

Is there any other way we can use Caravan?

We could say these people our Caravanning to the U.

But we wouldn't normally say that sounds a bit.

Or we could say they're traveling in a caravan.

And this describes the caravan formation.

Caravan is a singular noun which refers to the group of people.

Or the caravan is moving to the US Qorei.

Yes, Caravan is a really old word, and it comes from people moving across the desert in the past.

Very big groups and very big diff distances because people would move together for safety.

Okay, So obviously, in the desert, there's lots of dangers and people need to take care.

So they thought if they move together, they'd be safer.

And that's why you have such big numbers.

Okay, so now let's caravan on to our next headline.

It says Trump vows to cut aid over migrant caravan on the word is vows, Vows makes a strong or serious promise.

Similar vow is a very strong and more serious promise.

And, um, is it a verb or unknown in this case, in this headline?

Okay, Well, other kind of violence Come people make.

Is it only presidents or can you make coming?

You're showing how vow can be a noun as well.

So the now inform you can exchange it was got it.

Ah, what kind of vows can you take silence?

You know, people who are heavily into religion might take a vow of silence.

And this is when they promise not to speak.

Oh, I can think of a couple of people not far from here.

I think perhaps a few vows of silence in maybe people should exchanged vows of silence.

Okay, now let's move on to 1/3 headline, Tom.
