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.

Она почти не рассказывала о своей жизни, а в редких интервью заявляла, что после освобождения хочет «быть полезной для тех молодых людей, которые рискуют испортить и сломать свою жизнь и жизнь окружающих». «Медуза» вспоминает дело БОРНа и правое движение начала 2000-х вместе с журналистом «Медиазоны», автором книги «Диалоги убийц. 11 дней до ареста: прослушка разговоров Никиты Тихонова и Евгении Хасис» Егором Сковородой.

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?

Этот документ призван обеспечить единообразное и эффективное соблюдение санкций ЕС. В частности, определить, какие именно действия, связанные с обходом ограничений, преступны и какое наказание должно грозить нарушителям. Чтобы у тех не возникал соблазн оседать в менее строгих юрисдикциях на территории союза — и продолжать противозаконную деятельность.

Спецслужбы в России используют провокаторов, чтобы фабриковать дела, связанные с войной. «Мемориал» рассказал, как это устроено. Жертв ищут в соцсетях. Есть в деле пострадавшие или ущерб — неважно - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/02/spetssluzhby-v-rossii-ispolzuyut-provokatorov-chtoby-fabrikovat-dela-svyazannye-s-voynoy-memorial-rasskazal-kak-eto-ustroeno (Meduza – All News (eng))

Правозащитный проект «Поддержка политзаключенных. 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.

More on the eSafety commissioner’s letter to a US lawmaker

Julie Inman Grant told senators that Australians expect companies providing services into Australia to abide by Australian laws. She also pointed out that since the Wakeley church stabbing case that X challenged in the court and eSafety ended up dropping, the agency had accepted geo-blocking Australian users from seeing the posts as compliance with Australian law.

So the conclusion is nothing that we do here with the Online Safety Act affects anything that an American platform will serve to Americans. So no, it does not impinge upon Americans’ freedom of speech.

I am just in the process of sending that to the chairman right now. I think out of respect for him – when he sent me his letter, he sent it concurrently, it appears, to Sky News – I prefer to send it official to official.

Handling of China spying case was ‘shambolic’, security committee concludes - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/03/uk-china-spying-case-collapse-security-committee-report (The Guardian – World News)

Report says ‘systemic failures’ led to collapse of trial, but found no evidence of UK government interference

Parliament’s security committee has criticised prosecutors for pulling their charges against two men accused of spying for Beijing, in a damning report that concluded the handling of the case was “shambolic”.

MPs said that a process “beset by confusion and misaligned expectations” and “inadequate” communication between the government and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had contributed to the collapse of the trial, while several “opportunities to correct course were missed”.

It was “unclear” why the CPS had concluded that a July 2024 ruling concerning a Bulgarian spy ring “altered the legal landscape so significantly” that they had to change their approach.

It was “surprised” the CPS had deemed the government’s evidence insufficient to put to a jury when it had set out how China “posed a range of threats to the United Kingdom’s national security” that “amounted to a more general active threat”.

The government “did not have sufficiently clear processes for escalating issues where there was a lack of clarity” and “the level of senior oversight” from cabinet ministers and national security advisers “was insufficiently robust”.

The Remote Rental Framework, introduced in stages by the NT government between December 2021 and February 2023, raised rent by up to 200% for two-thirds of Aboriginal tenants living in remote communities in the NT, with more than 5,300 homes affected.

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.
