If you are planning on attending your local cinema this weekend to catch Captain America: Civil War but are a bit out of the loop as to what drives the conflict between the Avengers, then fear not, as the latest videos from WHIH: Newsfront which is hosted by Christine Everhart (Leslie Bibb), sheds a little light onto the complicated situation that the Avengers are facing.
Ms. Everhart who is joined by political correspondent Will Adams will debate and share their points as to whether the actions taken by the Avengers are justified when the city or country that they try to save are left with major destructions or sometimes even left in ruins.
President Ellis makes an appearance to try and make sense of the incidents and gives his opinions on what stance the government will take in the matter. Take a look at the following videos and see if you share their points of view as it pertains to The Avengers actions and the consequences.
Videos are in chronological with the latest at the bottom, which incidentally happens to kick off "The War".

WHIH Newsfront is a pretty good gimmick by Marvel Studios as it helps give a little more backstory to characters like it was done with Ant-Man. Before we got to see Paul Rudd in theaters donning the Ant-Man suit, we had a couple of videos where we got a glimpse as to why he was imprisoned at the start of the movie. Now, we get a small "news clips" discussing the fallout of the Avengers actions and the general public's opinion when their homes, businesses, entire neighborhoods are left in shambles as Earth's Mightiest Heroes do battle trying to prevent major catastrophes but at the same time leave an enormous amount of collateral damage in the wake of their battles.
Captain America: Civil War is the follow-up to 2014's hugely popular Captain America: The Winter Soldier and it is the third in the Captain America series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is currently on its opening weekend in international markets and is set to release in North America on May 6, 2016.
The film is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, gunplay and action throughout.
Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
