Latvian Radio 1 launches news in simplified language

Latvian Radio 1 has begun broadcasting a daily five-minute news summary in a simplified language format called 'Ziņas vieglajā valodā' to make news more accessible.

Latvia, a Baltic state and EU member, has a significant Russian-speaking minority. Language policy, particularly regarding the use of Latvian versus Russian, is a recurring topic in public discourse and government initiatives, often aimed at strengthening the official state language.
