The latest measurements of the asymmetry in the angular distributions of the $t\bar{t}$ events are reviewed. The measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$ in the $p\bar{p}$ 1.98 TeV collision at the Tevatron show some tension with the standard model calculation, while results of the measurements of the charge asymmetry $A_C$ in $pp$ collisions at 7 TeV and 8 TeV at the LHC are compatible with standard model prediction.
