hello, I manage an English language learning website and some users asked to put some video news in english, together with some explanations about them (that a teacher would provide).
Is there a website/service where I can find free news in video format (even old ones, say from 5 years ago!) and publish them in my website?
I don't mind if the videos are watermarked, I just need them for teaching purposes.
Of course I'd link to the original content and write clearly that I don't own the copyright..
Thanks in advance

What's wrong with embedding YouTube videos?

It's got nothing to do with YouTube and everything to do with the owner of the video. That said, if it's hosted on YouTube then it's kind of their problem, I wouldn't worry about it.

There are also fair use provisions for the sort of thing you want to use it for.
