Surly if you're going to put a video up as a main news article you sort out some subtitles?
Or am I missing something?
In reply to jimjimjim:
The note just above the video mentions clicking on the 'cc' icon at the bottom right hand corner of the video to get subtitles . That should work?

worked for me, although his Italian is fairly slow so fairly easy to follow

Try a different browser perhaps? It works in both Chrome and Safari.

Doesn't work on Chrome for me. What am I doing wrong? I click on grey CC icon. I choose English. CC icon becomes blue. But no subtitles.

Looks like it's on the shoulder of the Gran Sometta, just above the Colle Sup delle Cime Bianche? Probably something to do with the ski installations? Housing gas for gazexes or something like that, for instance?

Worked okay for me on Chrome. Icon was blue when the video star ted so I didn't need to change any settings.
