To arm or not to arm? EU considers giving weapons to Syrian rebels

French not favoured by language learners Down Under

While the Australian population is largely a mixture of people who have moved Down Under from all over the globe, it's surprising how many Australians speak foreign languages. While French used to be a popular choice in schools, the distance between France and Australia has meant the popularity of French has been supplanted by languages closer to home, such as Arabic, Indonesian and Mandarin Chinese.

Ever wondered where New Orleans' French influence came from?

In the southern US, French is spoken by a community of 500,000 people. These are the Cajun people, descendants of French-speaking Canadians who were forced from their homes by the English in the 18th century. Today they make up a tenth of Louisiana and their presence over the years have left a marked influence on the state. These days, the Cajuns continue their traditions through music and song, which help them to keep their linguistic heritage alive.

Is more austerity the right way forward for the UK economy?

The British government faces its toughest financial dilemma to date as it presents its Budget for the next year. PM David Cameron and Finance Minister George Osborne are under pressure to stop cutting public service budgets and start investing to boost an economy that's close to a triple-dip recession.
