Efforts to encourage EU citizens to stay in Scotland after Brexit are to be stepped up, Nicola Sturgeon has told members of the French parliament.

The Scottish first minister addressed a committee of the Assemblée Nationale during a visit to Paris.

She said she would "always make it clear that EU citizens are welcome".

The Home Office is currently testing an application system for settled status in the UK, which it said 100,000 people had successfully taken part in so far.

In January, Prime Minister Theresa May announced that fees for EU nationals to apply to stay in the UK after Brexit had been scrapped - although Ms Sturgeon said this was only after lobbying from other parties.

What is the EU settlement scheme?

How do you apply for settled status after Brexit?

The first minister began a two-day visit to France on Monday, with a meeting with French European Affairs minister Nathalie Loiseau.

She addressed members of the Assemblée Nationale, the lower house of the French Parliament, after opening a new Scottish government office in Paris.

Ms Sturgeon told the foreign affairs committee that her government "will always stick up for" the EU citizens living in Scotland, who include 7,000 French people.

She said: "In recent months we have lobbied successfully to ensure EU citizens would not have to pay a fee to obtain settled status in the UK. And we will always make it clear that EU citizens are welcome.

"In fact in the coming months, we plan to step up our efforts to encourage EU citizens to stay in Scotland."

Under current legislation, the UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March, whether an exit deal is agreed or not.

In January, Mrs May told MPs that her government was "committed to ensuring that EU citizens in the UK will be able to stay and continue to access in-country benefits and services on broadly the same terms as now, in both a deal and a no-deal scenario".

The Home Office is currently developing the system for EU citizens to get "settled status", allowing them to continue to live and work in the UK after Brexit.

This is due to be fully open by 30 March, but officials said 100,000 people had already successfully taken part voluntarily during the pilot phase of the system.

A spokeswoman said the department had "invested heavily" in the scheme, with a dedicated mobile app developed and 1,500 caseworkers recruited.

Analysis by BBC Scotland chief political correspondent Glenn Campbell, in Paris

Scotland's international reach is expanding, especially in Europe.

Since the EU referendum the Scottish government has opened new trade and investment hubs in Berlin and Paris. These are in addition to offices in London, Brussels and Dublin.

Since 2016, the devolved administration has increased its staff working on international affairs from 80 to 114.

It has had over 400 engagements with European governments, EU institutions and other international bodies in Europe.

Opposition parties accuse the first minister of straying into areas of responsibility reserved to the UK and spending too much time away from Scotland.

Nicola Sturgeon describes that as the worst "parochialism" and insists that with Brexit just over 5 weeks away it has never been more vital to promote Scotland internationally.

Was it the Sun wot won it? In a text less than an hour after the victory for leave was declared, editor Tony Gallagher told the Guardian: "So much for the waning power of the print media."

The Sun, which came out last week with a union jack-draped front cover urging its readers to "BeLeave in Britain" and at 6am on Friday published "See EU later", did not rise against the EU alone. British newspapers were overwhelmingly in favour of Brexit, with the Mail, Telegraph, Express and Star accounting for four times as many readers and anti-EU stories as their pro-remain rivals.

"If you believe in Britain, vote leave," urged the Mail on Wednesday, lambasting the "lies" and "greedy elites" of a "broken, dying Europe" on its front page.

Such headlines were not just the hallmark of an increasingly bitter referendum campaign - with its relentless focus on anti-immigration stories - but came after years of anti-EU reporting in most of the British press.

In February, the Mail front page asked simply "Who will speak for England?", highlighting the causes of independence and nationhood that have so helped the leave campaign. As the UK considers the far-reaching consequences of leaving the EU, it seems as good a moment as any to consider who has now spoken for England - the people alone or a Eurosceptic press that has campaigned against Brussels for decades.

In recent weeks, as the polls got closer, the desire to highlight what newspapers considered the worst excesses of the EU's freedom of movement laws led to some horrible errors. The Mail was forced to run a correction to a front page story that claimed that a group of migrants were from Europe when video footage showed members of the group, which included three children, say they are from Iraq and Kuwait. Other papers, including the Sun, reported the same story.

Like most pro-leave politicians, the editors of these newspapers say they have simply reflected the fears of the British electorate, fears that were largely ignored by the "establishment" made up of politicians and other papers such as the Guardian and the Financial Times.

This argument - that the "liberal elite" professed expertise but were out of touch with real people - was made not just by newspaper editorials but by Ukip leader Nigel Farage. As another tabloid editor said: "If you'd listened to Twitter or Facebook there would have been a massive vote for In."

In an interview earlier this week, Mail Online publisher Martin Clarke shrugged off the confusion of the Middle East with Europe by saying the migrants "were in the back of a van illegally" and "did come from somewhere via somewhere".

When asked whether the Mail, in years of reporting about the "hordes" of migrants and full-up Britain, had stoked the fears, he said: "We've reported people's very legitimate fears over immigration. We don't stoke the fears. The fears are there."

The debate over whether newspapers reflect views or influence votes has raged since long before the Sun claimed it was responsible for the unexpected Conservative general election victory of 1992. Perhaps tellingly, this was also the last time a general election vote was as high as Thursday's 72% turnout.

Since the early 1990s, newspapers have suffered from the rise of the internet and social media giants such as Facebook and Google. In 1990, when the Sun first called for a referendum its circulation was closer to 4m; today it sells less than half that total. Other anti-EU tabloids have fared even less well - although the Mail, with 13.9m online users as well as 1.4m print buyers can claim to have increased its reach and power in that time.

Surveys show that the British people trust the papers less than their European counterparts. As recently as September one showed that 73% of people in the UK "do not tend to trust" the printed press - the highest figure among all EU member states and a staggering 23% higher than the EU average.

And yet there is evidence that, despite such declining readerships and lack of trust, the press still sets the agenda. Where the newspapers lead on issues, far more trusted broadcasters follow. The latest research from Loughborough University's centre for research in communication and culture found that issues which dominated the press also led the television news. While this is partly due to the campaign itself, analysis shows that the number of stories about immigration continued unabated in the last three weeks of the election while those about the economy declined.

"The media has more influence in telling people what to think about than telling them what to think" said David Deacon, Loughborough's professor of communication and media analysis.

Newspapers struggle to reflect the momentous news of the Brexit vote

Since the start of the year there have been more than 30 splashes about migrants in the Mail and the Express and 15 in the Sun, according to research by Liz Gerard, a former Times night editor.

There is some evidence that a stream of reports of the "bent banana" type have misled the electorate about the power of the EU. Research by the independent UK Electoral Commission in 2013 found "low levels of contextual understanding of the EU, with some participants having no knowledge of the European Union, or the status of UK membership of the EU, at all". Few Brits knew whether the Swiss were fellow EU members or that a draft memo in Brussels would not automatically become British law.

Faced with newspaper outrage over plans to change the name of Bombay mix to Mumbai mix or ban prawn cocktail crisps the EU set up a Euromyths website, which offers officials in Brussels a chance to rebut media stories. The latest of about 650 reports to date claims that the Express's "EU £2,600 tax bombshell" story was completely wrong. However, it is not clear how many people out of the Express's circulation 410,000 read the rebuttal.

Giving evidence to the Leveson inquiry in 2012, Rupert Murdoch described the "Sun wot won it" headline as "tasteless and wrong" and reported giving the then Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie "a hell of a bollocking ".

Whether Murdoch did or not, he seems more likely to be giving the current Sun editor a bottle of champagne than a bollocking today.

Almost two-thirds of Scottish voters believe the Westminster government is ignoring their concerns during Brexit negotiations, and there is now more support in Scotland for remaining in the EU than at the time of the 2016 referendum, polling suggests.

According to research for the People's Vote campaign, 66% of Scottish voters (excluding don't knows) support staying in the EU, compared with 62% who voted for remain in the referendum.

The YouGov poll of 2,013 adults in Scotland, conducted in early August, also found that 48% wanted a public vote on the outcome of Brexit negotiations, compared with 45% across the whole of the UK.

About 600 people are expected to attend a rally in Edinburgh on Saturday in support of another vote on Brexit, as part of a summer of action coordinated by the People's Vote campaign.

Among Scottish National party supporters, 83% wanted to stay in the EU, 66% backed a people's vote on Brexit and 18% opposed a people's vote.

Labour supporters in Scotland favoured remain by 74% to 26% and a people's vote by 64% to 21%.

The majority of Scottish Labour voters wanted the party's UKleader, Jeremy Corbyn, to shift his stance on Brexit, with 44% saying he should oppose Brexit more strongly, 22% saying he should support Brexit more strongly, and 11% saying he had the balance "about right".

In contrast, 29% of SNP supporters wanted their party leader, Nicola Sturgeon, to oppose Brexit more strongly, 13% wanted her to support Brexit more strongly and 45% believed she had got the balance right.

Among all Scottish voters, 43% felt Brexit would make Scottish independence more likely within the next decade.

Peter Kellner, a polling expert and former president of YouGov, said: "Support for a public vote on the outcome is growing across the UK but is particularly strong in Scotland where most people did not want to leave in the first place. There is deep pessimism about what Brexit will mean for Scotland and the next generation.

"But the survey suggests the leaderships of both the SNP and the Labour party are in the wrong place with most of their supporters. There may be an electoral dividend in Scotland for one of these parties if they strengthen their position."

Niveaux visés : B2 pour la langue A ; B1 pour la langue B.

L'évaluation se déroule en deux temps :

- Le premier temps consiste en une épreuve écrite de 2 heures.

Elle est composée de deux parties, l'une consacrée à l'évaluation des compétences de compréhension de l'oral et de l'écrit, l'autre à l'évaluation des compétences d'expression écrite. Les candidats reçoivent l'intégralité du sujet dès le début de l'épreuve.

La compréhension de l'oral est évaluée à partir d'un document audio ou vidéo dont la durée n'excède pas 1 minute 30. Le document est écouté trois fois, les écoutes étant espacées d'une minute. Durant les écoutes, les candidats peuvent prendre des notes.

The latest news on the radio.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It may seem strange to think that there are people still alive today who were born before the introduction of what we call "radio".
If you asked the average person what "radio" means to them, they might tell you about their plastic kitchen radio they leave on in the background while making breakfast, the built-in car radio they listen to while driving to work, or even the portable, mp3-player-like device they can listen to with headphones on public transport (although this is more of an early-2000's device, and is now considered fairly obsolete).
"Kitchen radios" and car radios have already been around for a long time, but as we move further into the 21st Century, the concepts of radio and radio stations continue to develop with advances in technology.

Since the beginning of this century, we've had the ability to call up any song we can think of and listen to it directly over the internet, or store thousands of them on our computers, and since the introduction of smartphones, we've had almost constant easy access to music when we're on the go.
So, why not offer the same easy access to radio stations? Whether you're listening with your phone, your computer, or in your car, imagine being able to tune in to any radio station you can think of, from any style or genre, from every corner of the world.

This is what radio.net is all about.

What is radio?

So, although you might think of a radio as being an electronic gadget, the word has many meanings and definitions. For example, the verb ("to radio someone") means to send energy with waves from one place to another without the need for wires, whether it's from one room to the next or country to country. A piece of equipment called a "transmitter" sends out the radio signals, which are picked up by a "receiver". This is why the 1930's and 40's term "wireless" was used for household radios, as the concept was relatively new.

Radio still has a lot of uses, despite the mid-2000's rise of mp3 players and iPods, and more recently that of YouTube, and streaming services like Spotify. In fact, many people simply didn't want to deal with new technology and stuck to their old ways, particularly older generations. Some people also preferred the radio because it constantly introduced them to new songs and artists that they wouldn't necessarily hear with mp3 players.

Radio is still important in both more-developed and less-developed countries. In many developing countries such as Thailand and Nicaragua, it's used as an educational tool for teaching topics such as nutrition and health education. In South Africa, there are more than 150 independent radio stations, whereas 30 years ago there were only 10 on the entire continent of Africa.

The History of radio

Throughout history, it has been debated over who was the true father of radio, but despite Nikola Tesla's demonstration of a wireless radio in 1893 in St. Louis, it was Guglielmo Marconi who won the race by transmitting the first radio signals across the Atlantic Ocean in 1901. In the following years leading up to the First World War, radio was primarily used to send messages to and from ships via Morse code, but was not used commercially. During WW1, it was used almost exclusively by the military, although the technology at that time was not advanced enough to replace the use of carrier pigeons.
In the early 1920's, radio began to rise in popularity amongst civilians. In the USA, the Pittsburgh radio station KDKA became the first to be officially licensed by the government, and its parent company Westinghouse began selling wireless radios to the public. In the UK, the Post Office received almost 100 requests for licences from would-be broadcasters, and so decided to set up the BBC.

By the beginning of the Second World War, it had become a common family past time to sit around a wireless radio listening to programmes and news broadcasts. During WW2, the radio was vital in relaying news of the war to families all over the UK, and was an effective tool for boosting public morale.
With the arrival of television in the 1950's, radio programming schedules began to shift from serial shows to the playing of popular music. FM stations overtook AM stations, and the concept of the Top 40 was introduced, later becoming a key factor in the evolution of rock and roll.

Financing of radio stations

There are two main categories that radio stations fall into when it comes to financing, which are public broadcasting and commercial broadcasting.

Public broadcasting

Public broadcasting is when a radio or TV station draws its funding from either the public, the government, or both, with the objective of public service rather than financial gain. To make it easier to explain, let's use the BBC as an example. Listening to a BBC radio station doesn't require any form of payment, however if you watch live BBC TV, you have to pay a license fee every year. This money is like a tax that the British government uses to help fund the entire BBC, and so when you watch or listen to their stations, you won't see or hear any advertisements.

Commercial broadcasting

Commercial broadcasting is when a radio or TV station is owned by a company or corporation, with the goal of financial gain, and exists without government funding. Instead, they rely on the common practice of advertising the products of other companies, which these companies pay the stations to do.

In America, commercial broadcasting has been the norm since the beginning of radio, whereas Europe began mostly with public broadcasting, and has since moved further towards commercial.

What is webradio?

Web radio, or more commonly referred to as internet radio, is a technology that continuously transmits audio over the internet to your computer. It's a technique of broadcasting audio using data transmission that is very similar to terrestrial radio, and it's used by 57 million people every week.

Internet radio broadcasters use "streaming" to transmit their stations over the internet to their users. Listening to audio streams means that you don't have to download every song and store it on your computer. Instead, your computer downloads small portions of data (usually in the MP3 or AAC formats) in a continuous stream, usually a little faster than you listen to it, and discards the portions once you've gone past these parts of the stream. This means that you never have a fully-downloaded file on your computer. Any radio shows that you do have to download are known as podcasts.

The most obvious benefit of using internet radio is access to thousands of radio stations that you wouldn't normally be able to listen to due to your location. Another advantage is having an almost unlimited supply of music and live shows that you can listen to in real time.

Radio Facts & Figures

Radio is the leading media platform with the most reach. 93% of us listen to radio over FM/AM frequency airwaves, or via the internet, as opposed to 85% TV viewership, and 50% PC users.

295 Million American people over 6 years old listen to the radio each week, and over 65 Million people of the Millennial generation.

The existence of radio waves and the feasibility of radio transmission was predicted by James Clark Maxwell in the 1860s.

News/Talk/Information radio stations are some of the most popular stations, with an 11% share of total radio listeners.

The word 'broadcasting', referring to radio transmissions, was originally an agricultural term for the wide scattering of seeds.

How can I run an internet radio station?

Here's a brief explanation of how your station's audio stream gets from you to your audience:

1. Source (You): Your computer produces audio, which can be live voice or music, then it converts it into a stream of data packets that are constantly sent to a server.

2. Server (Provider): When your stream arrives at the server, it's cleaned up and dispensed to the appropriate channels.

3. Listener (Everyone): Wherever and whenever your broadcast is online, if there's a direct streaming link to the server or via a player, anyone can connect to it and hear your output.

Running an internet radio station is not necessarily difficult, and nothing should stand in your way, but it does require a certain amount of dedication. All you really need to start is a computer with the right software, but there are certain things such as a dedicated studio space and some good equipment (e.g. a decent microphone), that will be beneficial to have.
Once you have your hardware, you need to download software that allows you to host your station and keep it online. Icecast is a good example of a user-friendly server project that streams in MP3 format. You'll then need to download WINAMP, plus the software that actually delivers the stream to your audience. One of the most common programs for this is SHOUTcast.

One more important thing to think about is gaining the rights to play other bands and artists' music on your station. Different countries have different laws when it comes to music rights, but in North America it is possible to purchase licenses for around $500 per year which gives you the rights to play music that isn't your own without having to pay the artists individually.

What is podcasting?

A podcast is a digital media file (usually audio but can also be video) that is part of a series of programmes that can be subscribed to by anyone who wants to listen. Programs or apps called "podcatchers" can be used to subscribe to and automatically download each podcast in a series when it becomes available, and are designed to be used with smartphones so listeners can use them on the go.

Some people see podcasting as an alternative to commercial radio and TV, because it allows them the ability to choose their own content and select the programmes they want to listen to, similar to recent technologies like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Many people like the convenience of having new material pre-loaded onto their iPods or phones, and will listen to their podcasts on the way to work or while making dinner. Listening to your favourite show can make your 45 minute commute much more bearable!
