he's a review from BBC Learning English Hello and welcome to News Review The program where we show you how to use the language from the latest news stories in your everyday English.

We've got a story today about video gaming and how it might be harmful.

Okay, Possible harmful effects of video gaming.

Let's hear some more about this from a clip from BBC Radio one.

Blue boxes in video games should be cast as gambling.

The Children's commissioner for England ones and Long Field also thinks games need to introduce a maximum daily spending limit for players.

I don't like kids do well, you'll be very interested in this.

Story is all about how Children are spending lots of money on loot boxes, so Luke boxes are packages of elements that help you be a better competitors, a better player.

So, for example, on FIFA, you can buy a package of players.

You don't know who you're buying, but it costs you money, and that's what it's about.

Is Children's spending money on the's Luke boxes on.

That's why on Long Field, the Children's Commissioner for England feels that they encourage Children to spend extravagantly on video gaming on are a form of gambling.

She would like to introduce a spending limit to stop Children from paying hundreds of pounds on Luke boxes in video games.

Okay, well, you have been looking at this story.

You've picked out three words and expressions that we can use to talk about them.

They are splashing cash labeled and curb splashing cash labels on dhe curb.

My first headline is from the mirror and it is kids splashing cash chases, lot chasing losses on online games like fortnight are gambling.

Okay, Splashing cash, spending lots of money on something.

Yes, and it's about s p l A s h i N g on the second word is spelt uh see a s h.

Well, I know what splashing is when you go swimming and you hit the water with your hand.

It is on What does water, cash and video gaming have to do with each other?

well in this context in this headline, it's being used to talk about throwing money at something.

So it's not just throwing money, it's spending money on something, and it's not just a little bit of money.

So if you could imagine a pool, a pool of money and you hit the surface and it goes up like this yes, exactly.

Here it's being it's used Maur inner informal context.

So I definitely wouldn't go to my bank manager and say Hi, bank manager.

I've decided to splash cash on a new house.

You might ask more formally for a loan or something?

Could I, you know, have could I organized?

Yes, you would have said I'd like to splash some cash.

Likewise, you would be unlikely to hear the finance minister of a country standing in Parliament and saying we have decided to splash £10 billion on a new education policy.

Yeah, that would sound very, very strange.

Although after they have presented their idea in Parliament, you may hear them talking about it together as work colleagues in an informal contacts.

Like, I can't believe he's splashing cash on this or ex awhile.

So it's definitely in a more informal contacts.

For example, I could speak to my dad and say, Dad, I'm just I've decided I'm splashing cash on a new car at the weekend, Okay?

This is also used in a slightly different form.

We have similar meaning to splash out on something.

S o I could splash out on a new sofa, which I have.

Why I could splash cash on a new sofa as well.

So yeah, splash cash to splash out on something.

Okay, let's now move on to our second headline, please.

Our second headline is from The Telegraph Is Children spending £250 on fortnight skins to avoid being labeled the poor kid at school.

Children's commissioner warns, OK, labels called or seen as yes, and in this our headline, it is spelt l a b e l e d, which is actually the American English spelling, which is strange because it's the telegraph.

But in fact, in British English spelling.

It can be spelled L a B e l l e d Finally.

What that means in a label is something you put on.

For example, you might have a label on your shirt.

Oh, you might write on something and stick it to something that describes it.

So a label is something that you stick on somebody to identify them as something so in the headline, because the kids are not spending lots of money on, you know, Luke boxes or fortnight skins.

Now, that doesn't mean that somebody has written poor kid on a sticker and put it on them.

But it's almost as if they have done that.

And s o, in this context, it's actually quite serious label.

Like you could be labeled as an attentive, caring dad.

Happy you could be sued by I don't know your your wife, but not by myself.

It's used in a passive sense, as opposed to you.

Okay, so we've got somebody who's been labeled.

Oh, yeah, I think I know who you're talking about, aunt.

He has being labeled on a number of occasions as a biscuit thief.

But his name begins with an R Yeah, and ends with an O.
