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.

Для подавления протестов грузинский спецназ, возможно, использовал отравляющее вещество времен Первой мировой войны. К такому выводу пришли журналисты «Би-би-си».

Особенно пострадали Малайзия, Индонезия, Таиланд, Вьетнам, Филиппины и Шри-Ланка. Причиной бедствия стала погодная аномалия: тропический циклон Сеньяр сформировался в Малаккском проливе между Малайским полуостровом и островом Суматра — гораздо южнее, чем обычно формируются такие циклоны. Одновременно другой циклон, Дитва, обрушился на Шри-Ланку, а на Филиппины — тайфун Кото.

Как увольняли Андрея Ермака. Он якобы устроил Зеленскому «получасовую истерику». Рассказывает «Украинская правда» - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/01/kak-uvolnyali-andreya-ermaka-rasskazyvaet-ukrainskaya-pravda (Meduza – All News (eng))

В прошлую пятницу, 28 ноября, президент Украины Владимир Зеленский отправил в отставку главу своего офиса Андрея Ермака, который считался вторым самым влиятельным человеком в стране. Ермак лишился работы после того, как антикоррупционные органы провели у него обыск по делу о хищениях в госкомпании «Энергоатом». Это громкое расследование коррупции, которое украинское общество обсуждает уже несколько недель. Ходили слухи, что в этом деле рано или поздно возникнет фамилия Ермака, и Зеленскому советовали его уволить. Тем не менее, пока это были только слухи, Зеленский пытался защитить Ермака — в частности, поручил ему переговоры с США по мирному плану. Когда к Ермаку пришли с обыском, защищать его, по всей видимости, стало невозможно (хотя обвинения ему пока не предъявлены). Источники «Украинской правды» рассказали, как увольняли главу президентского офиса.

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 пор почти ничего не знаем о том, на кого возлагают ответственность за эпидемию «чумы XX века». Не сохранились ни подробности биографии, ни даже его фото.

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.

“AFP is making the Future of the Planet a major editorial priority. The transformation of our environment is a vital story that is having a dramatic impact on the lives of people across the globe. AFP has mobilised its unrivalled global network to document this changing reality through high quality multimedia journalism”, said Phil Chetwynd, AFP’s Global News Director.

In recent months, AFP has made available to its media clients around the globe a wide range of multimedia packages on the climate crisis and other urgent environmental issues, with datelines such as Greenland, Alaska, Siberia, the Amazon rainforest, Mont-Blanc, Patagonia, Indonesia, Israel and the Pacific ocean.

AFP is taking part in the Covering Climate Now, an initiative backed by 250 media across the world committed to heightening coverage of the climate crisis.

Air China launches first non-stop flight to Brisbane - http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201712/10/WS5a2d301ba310eefe3e9a1438.html (China Daily – World News)
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.
