Notre première discussion portera sur les impôts en Europe. Les recettes fiscales restent essentielles pour financer les services publics, et les taux varient d'un pays européen à l'autre. Ensuite, nous nous intéresserons à un projet de l'UE visant à supprimer les barrières commerciales en Méditerranée. Pourquoi l'UE envisage-t-elle cela ? Qu'est-ce que cela signifiera pour l'avenir du commerce dans la région ? Notre section scientifique sera consacrée à une étude sur le lien entre la chaleur et la mauvaise humeur. Et nous conclurons la partie actualités en parlant du problème des chiens errants en Inde. La situation a récemment fait la une des journaux en raison de la décision prise, puis annulée, par la Cour suprême d'ordonner l'enfermement de tous les chiens errants. Mais cette question continue de faire débat : comment l'Inde peut-elle protéger sa population des menaces que représentent les plus de 62 millions de chiens errants tout en traitant ces animaux avec compassion ?    Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : The Imperfect Tense. The Verbs of the Third Group with the roots: battre, tenir, courir, and cueillir. Nous discuterons des menaces qui pèsent sur le télétravail en ce moment et de l'évolution de cette organisation du travail en France. Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine, Avoir le cœur sur la main. De nombreux jeunes Français participent pendant leurs vacances à des missions humanitaires à travers le monde. Mais ce « volontourisme » n'a-t-il que des bons côtés ? - Les taux d'imposition en Europe reflètent les différences en matière de politique fiscale - L'UE envisage de supprimer les barrières commerciales en Méditerranée - Une étude à grande échelle établit un lien entre la chaleur et la mauvaise humeur - L'Inde subit les conséquences d'une population de chiens errants dépassant les 60 millions - Le télétravail va-t-il disparaître à la rentrée ? - Faire de l'humanitaire pendant les vacances, une bonne idée ?

learn how to use the word 'brief' in English

Nous commencerons la première partie de l'émission par une discussion sur les initiatives prises pour tenter de mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine. Les efforts du président américain et des dirigeants européens aboutiront-ils à un accord de paix ? Nous poursuivrons avec une discussion sur les critiques de l'extrême droite au sein de l'UE concernant les subventions de 17 millions d'euros allouées à des projets liés à l'islam. Dans la partie science et technologie de l'émission, nous parlerons d'une étude sur l'interprétation des pensées de patients à l'aide d'une voix synthétique. Enfin, nous parlerons d'un programme visant à recruter des scientifiques américains pour travailler en Europe. L'Europe serait-elle en train de profiter des coupes budgétaires draconiennes de Trump pour débaucher des scientifiques américains ?    Dans le dialogue grammatical, nous travaillerons sur ce point de grammaire : The Imperfect Tense - The Verbs of the Second Group. Nous parlerons de la façon dont les médias traitent les phénomènes climatiques. Les présentent-ils toujours comme des événements ponctuels et exceptionnels ou bien comme des éléments d'une tendance mondiale plus large, le changement climatique ? Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine, « être monnaie courante ». Nous discuterons des appels à un blocage général du pays à la date du 10 septembre, qui se multiplient sur les réseaux sociaux. À quoi faut-il s'attendre ? - Sommet Trump-Poutine : les dirigeants européens réagissent, mais la situation reste bloquée - L'UE répond aux critiques concernant les projets de recherche liés à l'islam - Des chercheurs parviennent à déchiffrer avec précision les pensées de patients - L'Europe serait-elle en train de débaucher des scientifiques américains après les coupes budgétaires de Trump ? - Comment le traitement du changement climatique a évolué dans les médias - La France sera-t-elle entièrement bloquée à partir du 10 septembre ?

Iniziamo la prima parte del programma parlando dei tentativi di porre fine alla guerra in Ucraina. Gli sforzi congiunti del Presidente degli Stati Uniti e dei leader europei riusciranno davvero a portare ad un accordo di pace? Proseguiremo, poi, con un dibattito sulle critiche sollevate dall'estrema destra nell'UE riguardo all'assegnazione di oltre 17 milioni di euro a progetti legati all'Islam. Nella sezione dedicata a scienza e tecnologia parleremo di uno studio sorprendente che mostra come sia possibile convertire i pensieri dei pazienti in voce artificiale. E infine, discuteremo di un programma europeo per reclutare scienziati statunitensi. Dopo i tagli draconiani ai progetti scientifici decisi da Trump, l'Europa sta, davvero, “soffiando” i cervelli agli americani?    La seconda parte della puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Prepositions: Simple and Articulated. Ne troverete numerosi esempi nel dialogo che seguirà, incentrato su una polemica che ha scaldato le estati degli italiani: l'aumento dei prezzi per l'affitto di sdraio e ombrelloni negli stabilimenti balneari. Nel finale ci soffermeremo sull'espressione idiomatica di oggi: A colpo sicuro. Il dialogo in cui la useremo prende spunto da una notizia che riguarda la costruzione del Ponte sullo Stretto di Messina. Dopo decenni di annunci e rinvii, il governo ha approvato il progetto definitivo, passo cruciale verso l'avvio dei lavori. Ma alle promesse di sviluppo si contrappongono proteste e dubbi: c'è chi vede un'opera storica e chi teme uno spreco colossale. - I leader europei rispondono dopo il vertice Trump-Putin, ma non si intravede alcun progresso - L'UE risponde alle critiche sui progetti di ricerca legati all'Islam - I ricercatori decifrano con precisione i pensieri dei pazienti - L'Europa sta cercando di accaparrarsi gli scienziati statunitensi dopo i drastici tagli di Trump? - Agosto di polemiche: spiagge care e ombrelloni chiusi - Tra sogno e realtà: il futuro del Ponte sullo Stretto di Messina

La première partie de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacrée à l'actualité. Nous commencerons par évoquer une rencontre très attendue entre les présidents russe et américain. La réunion aura lieu demain en Alaska, mais elle fait déjà beaucoup parler. Trump va-t-il se laisser manipuler par Poutine… une fois de plus ? Prend-il le risque de devenir un Neville Chamberlain face à un Poutine version Hitler ? Ensuite, direction le Moyen-Orient. À ce jour, 147 pays reconnaissent l'État de Palestine. Et pourtant, cette reconnaissance arrive bien trop tard, et reste largement insuffisante. Dans notre section science et technologie, nous évoquerons une étude alarmante sur le nombre croissant d'articles scientifiques frauduleux. Et pour conclure cette première partie de l'émission, nous analyserons une récente enquête de Gallup qui révèle une tendance mondiale encourageante : le bien-être est en hausse. Jamais autant de personnes ne se sont senties aussi épanouies dans leur vie. Sur 142 pays, la part de ceux qui se disent épanouis n'a cessé de croître ces dix dernières années, tandis que celle des personnes en souffrance est tombée à seulement 7 %.    Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. La leçon de grammaire portera sur The imperfect tense - the verbs of the first group. Cette semaine nous parlerons du petit village de Coulonces en Normandie qui reçoit périodiquement une visite insolite : un chevalier en armure y apparaît et disparaît depuis deux ans. Nous terminerons avec l'expression Avoir le bras long. Elle nous permettra d'évoquer une page intéressante de l'histoire de France avec le destin contrarié de Nicolas Fouquet, le surintendant des Finances de Louis XIV. - Les relations entre Trump et Poutine : un remake du pacte Chamberlain/Hitler ? - Les intentions récentes de reconnaître la Palestine sont jugées insuffisantes - Une étude alerte sur le nombre énorme de fausses publications scientifiques - Le bien-être au niveau mondial est en hausse, sauf dans les pays occidentaux les plus riches - Un petit village de Normandie reçoit de nouveau la visite d'un chevalier en armure - L'histoire de Nicolas Fouquet, le ministre des Finances de Louis XIV

La prima parte della puntata di oggi sarà dedicata all'attualità. Apriremo con l'attesissimo incontro tra i Presidenti di Russia e Stati Uniti, che si terrà domani in Alaska. Ma già ora non mancano gli spunti di discussione. Siamo certi che Trump non si stia lasciando manipolare da Putin… ancora una volta? Rischia forse di fare la fine di Neville Chamberlain, che negli anni '30 cedette troppo a Hitler? Poi ci sposteremo in Medio Oriente: sono già 147 i Paesi che riconoscono lo Stato di Palestina, ma questo riconoscimento arriva troppo tardi e in misura del tutto insufficiente. Nella sezione dedicata a scienza e tecnologia, parleremo di uno studio che lancia l'allarme sull'aumento preoccupante di articoli scientifici falsi. Concluderemo la prima parte con l'analisi di un recente sondaggio Gallup, che registra un'impennata del benessere a livello globale: mai come oggi così tante persone si dichiarano soddisfatte della propria vita. In 142 Paesi, la percentuale di chi afferma di “stare bene” è cresciuta costantemente nell'ultimo decennio, mentre quella di chi soffre è scesa al 7%.   La seconda parte della puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Interrogative Adverbs, Adjectives, and Pronouns: Gli interrogativi. Ne troverete numerosi esempi nel dialogo che seguirà, incentrato sui risultati di uno studio che getta nuova luce sulla Sacra Sindone di Torino, una delle reliquie più enigmatiche e controverse della storia.   In chiusura, ci soffermeremo sull'espressione idiomatica di oggi: Mettere i puntini sulle i. Il dialogo in cui la useremo prende spunto da una misura senza precedenti: la Regione Sicilia intende offrire una serie di incentivi fiscali per attrarre soprattutto pensionati e imprenditori, invitandoli a trasferirsi sull'isola per viverci o investire. - Gli accordi di Trump con Putin ricordano il patto di Chamberlain con Hitler? - Le recenti intenzioni di riconoscere lo Stato di Palestina sono ritenute insufficienti - Uno studio statistico mette in guardia contro l'enorme numero di articoli scientifici falsi - Il benessere globale è in crescita, ma non nei Paesi occidentali più ricchi - La Sindone di Torino: reliquia o capolavoro Medievale? - Casa, sole e sconti fiscali: il piano della Sicilia ispirato al Portogallo

Comenzaremos la primera parte del programa hablando de la recompensa que ofrece Estados Unidos por información que lleve a la captura de Nicolás Maduro; y de la controversia detrás de la campaña de Javier Milei que compara a la oposición con la dictadura militar argentina. Hablaremos también del descubrimiento de un posible planeta habitable en un sistema solar cercano; y por último, de los curiosos métodos que usa el Departamento de Agricultura para espantar lobos.    La segunda parte del programa estará dedicada a más acontecimientos relacionados con América Latina. En el diálogo gramatical ilustraremos ejemplos de Other Ways to Express Future. En este segmento hablaremos de Acapulco y su historia como puerto transoceánico. Cerraremos la emisión explorando el uso de la frase: Barajar y dar de nuevo, mientras hablamos del truco, un popular juego de cartas. - Estados Unidos aumenta la recompensa por la captura de Nicolás Maduro - Milei compara a la oposición política con la dictadura militar - Astrónomos encuentran un posible planeta habitable en un sistema solar cercano - La curiosa práctica de espantar lobos con drones - De cuando Acapulco fue el centro del comercio transoceánico - El juego del truco, una tradición sudamericana
