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 «экстремистка». 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.

«Хотелось бы жить при матриархате, чтобы Тильда Суинтон стала королевой планеты Земля». Джим Джармуш дал интервью Антону Долину — о своем последнем фильме, судьбе независимого кино и американском культе семейных ценностей - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/02/hotelos-by-zhit-pri-matriarhate-chtoby-tilda-suinton-stala-korolevoy-planety-zemlya (Meduza – All News (eng))

Зимой в прокат выйдет новый фильм Джима Джармуша «Отец мать сестра брат» — его первая картина, получившая «Золотого льва» в Венеции. Кинокритик «Медузы» Антон Долин приурочил к этому событию новую редакцию своей книги «Джим Джармуш. Стихи и музыка», впервые выпущенную десять лет назад издательством НЛО. Он выпускает ее самостоятельно и будет продавать на своих лекциях и выступлениях: в России книгу переиздать невозможно, поскольку Долин объявлен там «иноагентом». В новую редакцию вошел подробный разбор «Отца матери сестры брата», оригинальные стихотворения поэтов Алены Чурбановой и Николая Комягина и статья музыкального критика Льва Ганкина о певице Анике, работавшей над саундтреком. А еще — интервью Долина с Джимом Джармушем, которое «Медуза» публикует с небольшими сокращениями.

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?

Мемориал» изучил 33 уголовных дела россиян, связанных с протестами против полномасштабного вторжения войск РФ в Украину, и нашел в них признаки «оперативной провокации» спецслужб. Большинство этих дел возбуждены по статьям о подготовке «теракта», в части из них фигурируют статьи о «госизмене» или сотрудничестве на конфиденциальной основе с иностранным государством. Все они «имеют отношение к войне», и во всех, как пишет «Мемориал», вероятность оперативной провокации «весьма высока» — по меньшей мере, есть «весомые основания», чтобы ее предполагать. На примере этих дел «Мемориал» описывает, как работают провокаторы — от поиска жертвы до сбора доказательств.

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.

Condemnation of system that ‘allows officers to simply walk away, retiring without consequence’

Margaret Aspinall, whose 18-year-old son James was one of the 97 people unlawfully killed, has criticised the lack of accountability.

I cannot accept or understand how 97 people can be unlawfully killed, the police can lie, and nobody is held accountable,” she says.

“I recognise that the IOPC and Operation Resolve have worked hard and some of these findings are strong. But it’s absolutely ridiculous that so few people have been accused of gross misconduct for the lies and cover-up we’ve had to fight for 36 years.”

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.

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.
