AFP plans job cuts to strengthen finances: CEO

The cuts would affect some five percent of overall staff positions in the Paris-based world news agency. Chief executive Fabrice Fries announced the plan at a meeting of the agency's governing board. He said the measures would not include compulsory layoffs. Instead, 160 retiring staff will not be replaced, while the number of new employees over the period will be limited to 35. The cuts will be spread over the editorial, technical and administrative departments.

The measures are part of what Fries called a "transformation plan" which aims to balance the agency's books by 2021. AFP management says that if it does not rein in costs, the agency's operating deficit will swell to 90 million euros ($104 million) over the next five years. It aims to cut costs by 16.5 million euros in 2023, mostly by reducing staff numbers.

Fries took over as chief executive in April after his predecessor resigned. He has vowed to boost sales by 30 million euros over five years, chiefly by investing in video and photo production.

AFP employs nearly 2,300 people in 151 countries.

Reuters: у Венесуэлы есть два сценария в случае нападения США — партизанское сопротивление или превращение в «неуправляемое государство» - https://meduza.io/news/2025/11/30/reuters-u-venesuely-est-dva-stsenariya-v-sluchae-napadeniya-ssha-partizanskoe-soprotivlenie-ili-prevraschenie-v-neupravlyaemoe-gosudarstvo (Meduza – All News (eng))

The Wall Street Journal: Трамп пригрозил Мадуро «использованием силы», если тот не уйдет добровольно - https://meduza.io/news/2025/11/30/the-wall-street-journal-tramp-prigrozil-maduro-ispolzovaniem-sily-esli-tot-ne-uydet-dobrovolno (Meduza – All News (eng))

Дональд Трамп созвонился с Николасом Мадуро и сказал ему, что если тот не уйдет добровольно, США рассмотрят другие варианты, включая использование силы, пишет The Wall Street Journal со ссылкой на источники.

«Здесь полно отвратительных выскочек, пахнет мусором и кленовым сиропом. Я люблю этот город». Так Нью-Йорк описывает Дэниел Арнольд — один из лучших современных стрит-фотографов. «Медуза» публикует снимки из его новой книги - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/11/30/zdes-polno-otvratitelnyh-vyskochek-pahnet-musorom-i-klenovym-siropom-ya-lyublyu-etot-gorod (Meduza – All News (eng))

В американском издательстве Loose Joints вышла монография фотографа Дэниела Арнольда «You Are What You Do» («Ты — то, что ты делаешь»). Это сборник его уличных фотографий, снятых в Нью-Йорке. Арнольд — один из самых ярких стрит-фотографов последних лет; в этом популярном жанре, который, вероятно, знаком любому любителю фотографии и каждому фотографу-профессионалу, он добился невероятных успехов: из обычного энтузиаста он вырос в автора The New York Times и Vogue, его снимки выставляют в нью-йоркских галереях, а организаторы Met Gala зовут его снимать бекстейдж церемонии. С разрешения издательства «Медуза» публикует фотографии Арнольда — и коротко рассказывает его историю.

«Нюрнберг» — еще один фильм о знаменитом процессе, где Геринга играет Рассел Кроу (лучшая его роль за долгие годы). К финалу картины оказывается, что снять ее было не такой уж плохой идеей - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/11/30/nyurnberg-esche-odin-film-o-znamenitom-protsesse-gde-geringa-igraet-rassel-krou-luchshaya-ego-rol-za-dolgie-gody (Meduza – All News (eng))

В мировом прокате идет «Нюрнберг» — судебная драма о самом знаменитом суде новейшего времени, снятая американским режиссером Джеймсом Вандербильтом. Идея автора, написавшего в свое время сценарии к фильмам «Зодиак» и «Новый Человек-паук», поначалу не выглядит убедительной: фильмов о Нюрнбергском процессе, как и книг, и так невероятно много, а этот к тому же не блещет даже исторической детализацией (например, в картине нет русских). Он основан на романе Джека Эль-Хая «Нацист и психиатр», главный герой которого, доктор Дуглас Келли в исполнении Рами Малека, опрашивает нацистских преступников перед судом и попадает под обаяние Германа Геринга (Рассел Кроу). Кинокритик Антон Долин рассказывает о том, почему, несмотря на все вопросы к фильму, он оказывается своевременным.

«Очень странные дела»: 5 сезон, 1–4 эпизоды. Что такое Изнанка? Мир мертвых? Похоже, все несколько сложнее (и неожиданнее) - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/01/ochen-strannye-dela-5-sezon-1-4-epizody (Meduza – All News (eng))

Netflix показал первые четыре серии пятого сезона «Очень странных дел» — своего главного хита, который выходит уже девять лет. Дети стали подростками, подростки — взрослыми, но цель у друзей все та же: остановить Векну, самого могущественного злодея, с которым они когда-либо сталкивались. Сделать это будет очень непросто: Хоукинс под контролем военных, а на Одиннадцать идет охота. Критик Антон Хитров рассказывает, как, приближаясь к развязке, сериал все четче проговаривает свою главную тему.

Война. Тысяча триста семьдесят шестой день. Зеленского ожидает «новый раунд давления» США. Глава офиса президента Украины пока не назначен (но есть кандидаты) - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/11/30/voyna (Meduza – All News (eng))

«Медуза» с 24 февраля 2022 года в прямом эфире рассказывает о российско-украинской войне. В наших ежедневных материалах мы публикуем ваши письма, потому что уверены: о войне нужно продолжать говорить. Что вы думаете по поводу мирного плана, предложенного США? Это поощрение агрессии РФ или возможность закончить почти уже четырехлетнюю войну? Стоит ли Украине согласиться на эти условия, пока ситуация не стала хуже, — или отвергнуть и продолжать войну в надежде добиться более сильных позиций на переговорах в будущем? Форма для обратной связи — в конце этой статьи. Обзор предыдущего дня можно прочитать здесь.

Карту военных действий от украинского проекта DeepState без разрешения использовали для ставок через Polymarket. Это платформа, где люди ставят деньги на реальные события. В том числе на войну России с Украиной и ядерный удар - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/11/30/kartu-voennyh-deystviy-ot-ukrainskogo-proekta-deepstate-bez-razresheniya-ispolzovali-dlya-stavok-cherez-polymarket (Meduza – All News (eng))

Это биржа прогнозов, где ставят деньги на самые разные события, от развода знаменитостей до смерти папы римского. На ход российско-украинской войны там поставлены десятки миллионов долларов.

Фильм «0дин». Премьера на «Медузе». Посмотрите его прямо сейчас (или добавьте в закладки). Игорь Садреев впервые (!) рассказывает реальную историю нулевого пациента — человека, который «привез ВИЧ в СССР» - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/01/film-0din-premiera-na-meduze-posmotrite-ego-pryamo-seychas-ili-dobavte-v-zakladki (Meduza – All News (eng))

На протяжении десятилетий в России живет миф о нулевом пациенте — первом советском гражданине, заразившемся ВИЧ. Принято считать, что им стал мужчина, который несколько лет работал в Африке. Потом он вернулся на родину, и якобы именно так в СССР началась эпидемия ВИЧ, которая продолжается до сих пор. Здесь сразу две проблемы. Во-первых, этот человек вовсе не был нулевым пациентом, что подтверждается архивными данными. А во-вторых, мы до сих почти ничего не знаем о том, на кого возлагают ответственность за эпидемию «чумы XX века». Не сохранились ни подробности биографии, ни даже его фото.

Футбольный клуб «Шахтер» из Донецка — один из старейших в Украине, всего на девять лет младше своего главного соперника — киевского «Динамо». За свою историю «горняки» 15 раз становились чемпионами страны, семь из этих побед случились уже после 2014 года, когда родной город команды был оккупирован Россией. С этого времени «Шахтер» на протяжении многих лет — команда в изгнании, которая меняет один домашний стадион на другой. Несмотря на трудности, болельщики всегда готовы следовать за ними. Один из них — украинский журналист Дмитрий Дурнев, автор книги «Дом на линии огня. Хроника российского вторжения в Донбасс», которая недавно вышла в издательстве «Медузы». Дурнев лично знаком с «горняками», освещал многие матчи — и специально для «Медузы» рассказывает, как переплетаются их современные истории, «Шахтера» и Донбасса.

The first non-stop flight connecting China with Brisbane, the habitat of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, will depart from Beijing on Monday early morning, benefiting tourists from both countries. Air China’s CA 795 will leave Beijing at 2:30 am and arrive about 11 hours later in Brisbane, Queensland, at 15:10 local time. China’s flagship carrier will operate four services every week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Brisbane will become Air China’s third destination in Australia, after Sydney and Melbourne. Previously it used to take 12 hours and 30 minutes from Beijing to Queensland with one-transfer. “The establishment of this new route is part of Air China’s global expansion of its route network and improvement of links between China and Australia,” said Hou Xulun, deputy head of Air China. “The launch of the non-stop route between Beijing and Brisbane will provide a convenient transport link that will enhance bilateral trade, business cooperation and tourism,” he added. The carrier now handles over 40 weekly passenger flights between China and Australia. The fast growth in direct flight between China and Australia has been underpinned by the landmark Australia-China open air services agreement, signed a year ago, said Jan Adams, Australian ambassador to China. Brisbane in Queensland is a major tourism destination, with the Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef the favorite spots. The number of Chinese tourists visiting Australia has witnessed double-digit growth, said Air China’s Hou. In 2016, two-way tourist flow between China and Australia recorded 2 million trips.

Is McLaren costing Oscar Piastri the F1 title, department asked at Senate estimates

It’s a strong start to Senate estimates this morning, with Nationals senator Matt Canavan asking the department of infrastructure secretary, Jim Betts, about the F1 results from Qatar overnight.

It’s been a bit of a frustrating night for some Australians … you deal with transport and cars, so do you think McLaren is biased against Oscar Piastri and costing him the world championship?

AFP’s special package is anchored to the September 23 UN Climate Summit in New York, and will cover the September 20 rallies and marches worldwide by young people demanding decisive action on global warming. In parallel, experts from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gather in Monaco to release a special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere on 25 September. A draft of the report obtained exclusively by AFP warns that rising sea – even in a world that warms by no more than two degrees Celsius – could displace 280 million of people around the world. AFP’s global team is primed to cover this planetary event, and will deliver reports and stories from Bolivia, Uganda, France, Mumbai, the United States, and other locations. Reporting on major events will be broadcast via live video.
