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.

Well, our story today is about a divorce, but not the regular kind of a divorce.

The British government has confirmed a date when it will officially begin the process of leaving the European Union following a referendum vote to do so.

The spokesman for the prime minister, Theresa May, said she would trigger the relevant treaty clause known as Article 50 on the 29th of March.

So back in June last year, the British people voted by a very small majority to leave the European Union.

That doesn't mean that Britain leaves the EU immediately.

It's actually a two year process, but what's new is that the British prime minister has given the date of March 29th to begin the process.

The process starts its right written to leave the European Union known as Brexit.

And you've been scanning the news websites looking at this story.

What are the three expressions people need to know to talk about it?

Okay, So are three words and expressions this week are trigger kicking off and invoking So that 1st 1 trigger, what's the headline you've got?

Ok, so the headline comes from the BBC News, A website, and it says article 50 Theresa May to trigger Brexit process next week.

Okay, trigger meaning, make something start.

I thought a trigger was something on a gun.

The bit that you pull and what happens after you pull it?

So in the same way that a trigger makes a gunfire to trigger something as a verb means to cause it to happen or make it begin.

And this is very popular in in headlines is absolutely because he very dramatic brings to mind pictures of guns and explosions and things like that.

Not so common in everyday speech, but you can use it in some circumstances.

For example, Neil, what happens to you in springtime?

In springtime, I get very happy because there's Ah, sunshine and it's light and it's been a long, dark winter.

But yes, pollen flies around from the plants and flowers, and that triggers an allergic reaction.

And I get a rodeo difficult to understand what I'm saying.

So in the same way that the pollen triggers an allergic reaction in you, you're an allergic reaction can be triggered or made toe happen.

Our next headline comes from the mirror, and it says Theresa May sets date for triggering Article 50 and kicking off Brexit process so we have triggering, which we've already looked at, but also kicking off had triggering guns.

Well, as everybody knows, the kickoff in football is the first moment when the ball strikes.

Excuse me when the foot strikes the ball and begins the game, so kicking off is used much more figuratively to mean start or make something.

It's very common as well as it's extremely common.

It's been used in a figurative way for a long time.

So for a long time, people have been using kick off just a mean start something.

So kickoff kicked off in the 18 seventies?

OK, how do you like to kick off your weekend?

Oh, say, with a large cup of coffee and a visit to the gym, I find that if I work out in the morning, it means the rest of my weekend goes very, very smoothly.

Is there is a night meaning quite different.

So it can mean to react suddenly with violence or anger.

You might ask somebody why you kicking off at me on something else we can say is if you were in a particular place and a fight begins, you could say it's kicking off in here.

Yeah, You started kicking off in the studio last week.

You were correcting my pronunciation and I didn't like it.

Moving on Final Headline Our final headline.

It comes from The New York Times and it says U K to start Brexit on March 29th by invoking Article 50.

So invoking here meaning using a law to achieve something.

This is using Article 50 to start a process which achieves Brexit, but it has a wider meaning.

This particular meaning is quite specific, but there is a wider meaning.

Your religious man, you I'm not, but many people are many people are, and those of us who are would say that they might invoke the name of their god or deity.

Call on the their god or deity in order to improve or make a situation better on.

It doesn't have to be, ah, religious figure.

It could be somebody that you respect or has taught you exactly.

When, ah, well, when I when I'm trying to fight when I'm trying to win a fight and I'm not doing very well.

A and try and remember, everything has taught me so that I can fight a little bit better.

I'm glad you didn't invoke the spirit of your sense.
