A period of change for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

We've got the language you need to talk about this story.

I'm Catherine and I'm den, and this is news review.

Let's hear more about this story from this BBC Radio One news report.

The queen is backing a plan for Prince Harry and Megan to spend more time in Canada while the royal family works out their future roles.

But Canada's prime minister says more talks I needed over the move on Dhe who will pay for their security.

So Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, has said that they want to step back from their royal duties now.

This will involve spending more time in Canada.

The queen has agreed in principle, although there's a lot more work to do on the Canadian prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has said that the Canadian people are largely okay about this, a receptive although there is more work to do, including working out who's going to pay for the security.

So big story down.

Yes, big story and big changes coming.

So we've got three words and expressions that you can use to talk about this story I want to be have for them.

We have fruit progressive on dhe railroaded, shrewd, progressive and railroaded.

Okay, Can we have our first headline, please?

Most certainly.

So we're starting off with the eye.

The headline is The queen has played a shrewd hand at this Sandringham summit.

But devils still look in the detail Shrewd, showing good judgment that leads to an advantage.

Lovely were to say, shrewd shoot.

But the spelling is quite interesting because to hear the words shrewd, you're expecting that is gonna have a double o double o But it doesn't.

It a a w shrewd is spelled S h r e w d.

Okay, but it is a lovely were to say, Yeah, say one more time.

Shrewd.

And it's to do with making judgments and decisions, really good judgments, intelligent decisions, things that really work for you.

But they're not always the obvious thing to do, or it's not always the emotional thing to d'oh!

A shrewd decision is a decision that you really thought carefully about, and it's gonna work for you so you might have a difficult judgment to make you think about it.

You make a choice and It turns out that that was actually the best thing that you could have done in that situation, because you really thought about it was a really good decision is a shrewd decision.

So the queen, for example, could have said, You're not going, I won't have it or she could have so go.

We don't want anything to do with you But she kind of did something in the middle.

She really thought it through this headline saying, and she really made a clever decision.

So she's quite a shrewd person.

She is a shrewd person, A lot of things.

People think that about Her Majesty, a shrewd lady.

Yes, we can use shrewd to describe a person.

We can also use it to describe actions coming.

Can't decision.

Yes, exactly that.

And you can not.

Just queens are shrewd politicians or people that jump just in any kind of contact where decisions could be made.

You can make that decision shrewdly, but l y on for the adverb, but it can also be a yes, a decision, or we often talk about shrewd moves.

Now, Dan, you play the game chess.

I have played a game of chess twice in my life.

A bit obvious.

I'm gonna attack over here.

It's very not very shrewd, you know, through the shoot move is a kind of move where you make a move.

When your opponent girls, Why didn't Leo and six moves later it wouldn't obliterated?

Yes, that will be a shrewd move when you would be a shrewd player.

Nice.

So if I want to use a verb after shrewd yet which form would it take?

Well, you would need the infinitive with too, because after an objective, you use the two infinitive.

So it was shrewd of you to do that to make that move.

Oh, you you were shrewd to make that move.

Thank you.

It was a very shrewd explanation.

Let's go shrewdly to a slide.

Okay, so let's take a look at our second headline now, please.

On where?

The Guardian this time.

And it's another opinion piece as hurry and Meghan are finding out the Royals don't do progresses progressive, modern and encouraging change.

Now I could see the would progress in there.

Yes, it's anything to do with that.

It absolutely is everything to do with that word progress or progress.

The full spelling is P R O G R E double s I V E e progressive and the stress is on the dress, progressive for aggressive jaggery.

Yes, on the old is a shot.

It's a very, very short sound, like a progressive.

Give us another gold down, progressive.

Thank you.

Okay.

And yes, it's to do with progress.

It's to do with changes to do with doing things differently in particular, modernizing on the word progressive.

We often used to talk about kind of institutions, organizations, company's systems.

If you got a progressive company, you do things differently.

You do them better.

Okay, you do them in a modern way.

But not everybody likes that.

Yeah, that's true.

So you can also use it to describe a society as well.

Can't get progressive society, progressive society vegetarian and frees freedom, Freedom of speech.

One of that kind of thing.

You want a progressive, progressive, very nice.

I heard about progressive school ones.

Yes, I believe it was somewhere in Brazil, or they don't quote me on it.

But basically the students were allowed to choose their own lessons as much as they wanted.

And rather than having like a rigid core structure.

They had like a patchwork quilt.

They just showed it sounds great.

I think it would be terrible in a school like needs.

Just a Fline Just play that you choose the video video game options.

Yeah, and comics.

That's right.

You would be better off in a conservative school on.

Of course, this article is claiming that the Royals don't do progressive, so it's saying so.

They would be conservative as well.

Yes.

Now this is not to be confused with the political party, the Conservative Party.

If you are a conservative with a small C, it's a kind of opposite of progressive.

You like to do things the traditional way.

You're not so keen on change, or you don't like to take too many risks.

So the opposite of progressive in many ways could be called conservative.

That's right, and they're both objectives.

So let's have a look at this slide.

Okay, now, before we go to our third and final headline, do you like hearing stories about the Royals?

Because we have another one for you?

Don't make Katherine.

We do now.

This one's from our Al Qaeda.

It's Prince William being quite progressive as it goes, he's saying, You should talk about your feelings.

If you want to find out more about what he said on why, Just click the link and you'll go straight to the story.

Very nice.

Okay, let's go to our third and final headline on It's Our third and final opinion piece again.

Where the sun this time the headline is Will End in tears.

Queen railroaded into deal by greedy Prince Harry and Meghan Markle blasts Piers Morgan.

Now Piers Morgan is a very opinionated British television personality.

Eso he's known for strong opinions like this one railroaded, forced into doing something.

Now I'm familiar with the railroad.

Yes, the trains.

So is there a connection?

There's gonna be a connection.

There is a connection.

You're quite right.

So the spelling railroaded?

R A I L r o a d e d.

So it's the simple past tense I was in the past.

It's a passport Izabal, because it's probably in a passive Yep, on yes to do with railroad or trains.

Now, if you're on a train down and you want to get off well, you're gonna have a very difficult time getting on the train not really.

If it's moving, it is very hard to stop a moving train.

It does what it's going to do.

You can't turn left or right.

They're difficult to slow down.

So once you're on it, year going wherever it's taking you.

And that's the idea of railroaded.

If you're railroaded into something, it means you're pretty much forced to do something by pressure from other people.

Everyone going.

Go on.

Go on.

Come on.

You said you would.

You've got to do it.

Keep going.

You can't stop now.

It's that kind of idea.

Yeah, I think I was railroaded once and buying a key ring where he I was.

I was a tourist in a another country and I got promised a free tour and I thought, Well, free tour.

Great There.

Show me around.

And the only place they took me to was a big shopping center on when I got inside, they all stood over me, waited until I bought something you were railroaded into buying a little little key ring covered in Chile's You still use it?

Yeah, I've got it somewhere.

So you could someone for real turned out to be my lucky charm and it's in the passive way.

Use real world a lot to railroad somebody, but often you'll see I was railroaded into doing something.

That's right.

Well, we're going to railroad you now into this third and final slide.

Now, can we please recap the vocabulary we can we hade Schrute showing good judgment that leads to an advantage.
