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.

«Ради самостоятельности и независимости я буквально землю ем». Astra — одно из самых бодрых эмигрантских медиа. Его запустила Анастасия Чумакова, раньше работавшая в прокремлевских таблоидах, а теперь официально «террористка». Вот ее интервью - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/02/radi-samostoyatelnosti-i-nezavisimosti-ya-bukvalno-zemlyu-em (Meduza – All News (eng))

В первые дни вторжения журналистка Анастасия Чумакова запустила телеграм-канал Astra — медиа, которое быстро прославилось благодаря эксклюзивам о войне и преступлениях российской армии. На него подписаны уже 270 тысяч человек, а в редакции работают 12 сотрудников. Работая в эмиграции, Astra сумела наладить полноценную сеть источников на оккупированных территориях, в РФ и в Украине. Российские власти тоже признали ее заслуги: в конце октября Чумакову включили в реестр «террористов и экстремистов» (что стало поводом для дела, неизвестно). Восхождение издания Astra выглядит особенно интересным, потому что Чумакова до эмиграции долгое время работала в прокремлевских таблоидах Life, Mash и Baza, связанных с Арамом Габреляновым. В интервью «Медузе» она заявила, что вплоть до отъезда из страны не понимала «природу» этих медиа, поскольку «это не было так очевидно, как сейчас». Мы поговорили с ней об эволюции ее взглядов на журналистику — и о том, в чем, по ее мнению, заключается секрет успеха Astra.

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 тут.

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

В 2024 году власти Грузии подавили протесты против приостановки переговоров о вступлении в Европейский союз.

К такому выводу в своем расследовании пришли журналисты «Би-би-си».

Из-за наводнения в Юго-Восточной Азии погибли больше тысячи человек. Там три тропических шторма. Фотографии - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/01/iz-za-navodneniya-v-yugo-vostochnoy-azii-pogibli-bolshe-tysyachi-chelovek (Meduza – All News (eng))

В Юго-Восточной Азии муссон совпал с несколькими штормами и вызвал разрушительные наводнения. Погибли больше 1100 человек, сотни тысяч лишились домов. 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.

В момент атаки «Кайрос» находился в 28 морских милях от побережья Турции, «Вират» — в 38 милях.

Умер Том Стоппард — самый знаменитый драматург современности. Его пьеса о русских интеллектуалах XIX века шла восемь часов и все равно стала хитом — а сценарий о Шекспире выиграл «Оскар» - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/02/umer-tom-stoppard-samyy-znamenityy-dramaturg-sovremennosti (Meduza – All News (eng))

29 ноября в английском графстве Дорсет умер сэр Том Стоппард — лауреат «Оскара» за сценарий к фильму «Влюбленный Шекспир», автор ревизионистской пьесы «Розенкранц и Гильденстерн мертвы» о второстепенных героях «Гамлета» и, пожалуй, самый известный современный драматург. Стоппарда знали и любили в том числе в России, тем более что он интересовался российской культурой: среди важнейших его текстов — «Берег утопии», пространная пьеса о Герцене, Белинском и других русских интеллектуалах-демократах. Литературный критик Лиза Биргер рассказывает, как Стоппард пришел к мировой славе — и лишь во второй половине жизни узнал правду о своей семье.

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.

Shells found in Spain could be among oldest known musical instruments - https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/dec/02/neolithic-conch-like-shell-spain-catalonia-discovery-musical-instruments (The Guardian – World News)

Conch-shell trumpets discovered in Neolithic settlements and mines in Catalonia make tone similar to french horn, says lead researcher

As a child, Miquel López García was fascinated by the conch shell, kept in the bathroom, that his father’s family in the southern Spanish region of Almería had blown to warn their fellow villagers of rising rivers and approaching flood waters.

The hours he spent getting that “characteristically potent sound out of it” paid off last year when the archaeologist, musicologist and professional trumpet player pressed his lips to eight conch-shell trumpets. Their tones, he says, could carry insights into the lives of the people who lived in north-east Spain 6,000 years ago.

Ukraine war briefing: Witkoff shuttles into Moscow to hear Putin’s demands - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/02/ukraine-war-briefing-witkoff-shuttles-into-moscow-to-hear-putins-demands (The Guardian – World News)

Zelenskyy says redrafted peace plan ‘looks better’ but Kaja Kallas fears Moscow meeting will wrongfully put pressure on Kyiv rather than Kremlin. What we know on day 1,378

An intensified diplomatic push to end the nearly four-year war has continued, with Volodymyr Zelenskyy visiting Paris on Monday – a day after the Ukrainian president’s team held talks with US officials – and Vladimir Putin due to meet with US special envoy Steve Witkoff on Tuesday.

Zelenskyy, speaking in Paris, said the Kremlin’s claims of battlefield advances were exaggerated. He said Ukraine’s priorities remained security guarantees, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as he insisted that Russia must not get rewards for its aggression on Ukraine. He said he hoped to have talks with the US president, Donald Trump, to discuss next steps once Steve Witkoff is back from his talks in Russia.

Ukraine’s president said that after revisions the peace plan circulating between Ukraine, Russia and Washigton “looks better” and the work will continue. The EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, warned however that talks between the Putin and Witkoff will again pile pressure on Ukraine to make concessions, write Jennifer Rankin and Pjotr Sauer. Kallas said: “In order to have peace, we shouldn’t lose focus that it’s actually Russia who has started this war and Russia that is continuing this war and Russia that is really targeting civilians, civilian infrastructure every single day to cause as much damage as possible.”

The White House said it was “very optimistic” of a deal being reached to end the war. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told reporters: Just yesterday [the White House team] had very good talks with the Ukrainians in Florida and now of course special envoy Witkoff is on his way to Russia.” Witkoff has in the past returned to Washington conveying variations of Vladimir Putin’s maximalist demands for Ukraine’s total capitulation. His role has come under scrutiny following a report that he coached Putin’s foreign affairs adviser on how to pitch to Trump.

The Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov said the Florida talks “achieved significant progress” but that some issues remained unresolved. Zelenskyy, while trying carefully not to anger Trump, has refused US-backed calls for Ukraine to give up hard-fought territory that Russia has not been able to seize.

Four people were killed and 40 wounded in a Russian missile attack on the eastern-central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Monday, Ukrainian officials said. Vladyslav Haivanenko, the acting governor of the surrounding Dnipropetrovsk region, said 11 of those injured were in a serious condition. Ukraine’s emergency services said car service stations, other businesses, an office building and 49 cars were all damaged in the attack.

Residents in Batn al-Hawa have all but given up hope and blame the Gaza war which, they say, has created ‘an atmosphere of hate’ towards them

The dome of the al-Aqsa mosque gleamed in the late afternoon autumnal sun as Zohair Rajabi looked out from his balcony towards the skyline of Jerusalem’s Old City. Christian pilgrims spilled out of buses, while observant Jewish worshippers gathered outside the gate to the Western Wall.

New flags now fly a few metres from Rajabi’s home. Blue and white and bearing the Star of David, they mark where residents were evicted recently from their homes by Israeli police. After more than 20 years of activism, Rajabi knows his days in Batn al-Hawa, a predominantly Palestinian neighbourhood less than a mile south of the Old City, are almost certainly numbered.

Trump news at a glance: tensions with Venezuela rise following president’s reported ultimatum to Maduro

The president has picked up where he left off before Thanksgiving, when it comes to his anger at the six Democratic lawmakers who took part in a video urging service members to “refuse illegal orders”.

A reminder, that Trump initially went on a Truth Social tirade, accusing the members of Congress (all of whom are veterans or former intelligence officials) of sedition, adding that their actions are “punishable by death”.

Independent reviewer says need to protect against online threats is now as important as need for robust armed forces

The UK’s independent reviewer of terrorism laws has criticised the government’s latest national security strategy for failing to take online threats more seriously, despite Keir Starmer claiming it would result in “a hardening and sharpening of our approach” in the face of Russian menace.

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.
