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.

«Донат из России в 2025 году — это жест. Это возможность выразить несогласие».

«Загнать власть в капкан собственных законов». 60 лет назад сын Сергея Есенина и еще несколько десятков человек устроили акцию протеста в центре Москвы. Так началась история диссидентского движения в СССР - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/05/zagnat-vlast-v-kapkan-sobstvennyh-zakonov (Meduza – All News (eng))

60 лет назад в Москве произошло событие, о котором в советских газетах почти не писали, но которое стало одним из поворотных моментов для появления правозащитного движения. Несколько десятков человек вышли на Пушкинскую площадь требовать не смены власти и не политических реформ, а соблюдения государством собственной Конституции. Организатором акции стал математик и поэт Александр Вольпин, решивший впервые в открытой форме напомнить власти о праве граждан на гласный суд. Митинг длился всего несколько минут и был быстро разогнан, но его последствия оказались куда значительнее самого события. «Медуза» вспоминает, как в стране, где публичные выступления десятилетиями подавлялись, возникла первая попытка открытого протеста — и почему именно с нее началось диссидентское движение в СССР.

Producer says creatives need to own their intellectual property so they can license it to generative AI platforms

These platforms use artificial intelligence to analyse existing songs and tracks, using that knowledge to generate completely new ones as prompted by a user. For example, someone could ask the AI platform to generate a song about a boozy night out in the style of a Britpop band, and it would draw on songs with similar sounds and themes to create its own.

Science journal retracts study on safety of Monsanto’s Roundup: ‘serious ethical concerns’ - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/05/monsanto-roundup-safety-study-retracted (The Guardian – World News)

Paper published in 2000 found glyphosate was not harmful, while internal emails later revealed company’s influence

The journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology has formally retracted a sweeping scientific paper published in 2000 that became a key defense for Monsanto’s claim that Roundup herbicide and its active ingredient glyphosate don’t cause cancer.

Martin van den Berg, the journal’s editor in chief, said in a note accompanying the retraction that he had taken the step because of “serious ethical concerns regarding the independence and accountability of the authors of this article and the academic integrity of the carcinogenicity studies presented”.

The paper, titled Safety Evaluation and Risk Assessment of the Herbicide Roundup and Its Active Ingredient, Glyphosate, for Humans, concluded that Monsanto’s glyphosate-based weed killers posed no health risks to humans – no cancer risks, no reproductive risks, no adverse effects on development of endocrine systems in people or animals.

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.

Кая Каллас показала свой завтрак после обвинений Politico, что она ест россиян - http://www.gazeta.ru/politics/2024/03/05/18377029.shtml (Gazeta.ru – Первые новости)
В ЕС сомневаются, что премьер-министр Эстонии Кая Каллас сменит Жозепа Борреля на посту главы дипломатии Евросоюза. Газета Politico написала, что едва ли на этот пост назначат человека, которому "нравится есть россиян на завтрак", имея в виду ее чрезмерно резкие высказывания в адрес России. Каллас в ответ на публикацию решила доказать, что ее завтрак выглядит по-другому. Но издание не поверило, что эстонский премьер "регулярно ест мюсли".

Живущих в Европе россиян сильно встревожила новость о включении РФ в черный список ЕС. Попробуем еще раз ответить на важные вопросы об этом решении. Как усилятся проверки со стороны банков? Какие-то операции запретят? А не избавятся ли они от клиентов с паспортом РФ вовсе? - https://meduza.io/feature/2025/12/05/zhivuschih-v-evrope-rossiyan-silno-vstrevozhila-novost-o-vklyuchenii-rf-v-chernyy-spisok-es-poprobuem-esche-raz-otvetit-na-vazhnye-voprosy-ob-etom-reshenii (Meduza – All News (eng))

3 декабря источники издания Politico сообщили, что власти Евросоюза приняли решение о включении России в список стран с высоким риском отмывания денег и финансирования терроризма. Официальное объявление еще предстоит — но этот шаг уже вызвал серьезную тревогу у живущих в Европе россиян (мы видим это по вашему высокому интересу к новостям и материалам на эту тему). Сильнее всего их беспокоит практический эффект помещения РФ в черный список ЕС. Будут ли заблокированы счета всех людей с паспортом РФ? Окажутся ли под запретом какие-то конкретные операции по таким счетам? Насколько табуированы будут любые переводы денег с российским происхождением? И реально ли теперь в принципе будет стать клиентом европейского банка? Безусловно, без правоприменительной практики исчерпывающих ответов сегодня нет ни у кого. Но мы все же постарались подкрепить или развеять тревожные настроения, задав эти вопросы эксперту — приглашенному научному сотруднику Центра анализа европейской политики (CEPA) Александру Коляндру. Составленный им ликбез по черному списку ЕС вы можете изучить на сайте издания The Bell — мы рекомендуем вам это сделать, чтобы лучше понимать перспективы практической имплементации решения Брюсселя.

Eurovision has faced political boycotts before – how does the latest compare? - https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/dec/05/eurovision-political-boycotts-how-does-latest-compare (The Guardian – World News)

Decision by four countries to pull out over Israel’s inclusion is significant for the contest but crisis may not be existential

The decision by four European broadcasters to boycott next year’s Eurovision over Israel’s inclusion is undoubtedly a watershed moment in the 70-year history of the song contest.

One of the few genuinely popular, non-elitist and pan-European cultural events will be without Spain, one of the “big five” nations in terms of financial contributions; Ireland, which has won the contest more times than any other country bar Sweden; the Netherlands, a 1956 founding member; and Slovenia, symbolic of the EU’s eastward enlargement.

Exclusive: Yinka Bankole felt compelled to speak out after Reform leader’s attempts to dismiss hurt of alleged targets

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing

A former Dulwich college pupil who claims a teenage Nigel Farage told him “that’s the way back to Africa” has said he felt compelled to speak out after the Reform leader’s attempt at “denying or dismissing” the hurt of his alleged targets.

Yinka Bankole, who claims he had just started at the school when a 17-year-old Farage singled him out for abuse, said he had decided to tell his story in full after watching the Reform leader’s press conference on Thursday.

German MPs rubberstamp military service plan amid school pupil protests - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/05/german-mps-rubberstamp-military-service-plan-amid-school-pupil-protests (The Guardian – World News)

All 18-year-old men to be screened for suitability for armed forces, but proposal falls short of conscription

The German parliament has rubberstamped a new model for military service that aims to boost its armed forces as thousands of school pupils demonstrated across the country against the plans.

The change will include the obligatory screening of all 18-year-old men to gauge their suitability to serve in the military from 1 January, but does not include conscription, as favoured by some conservative politicians.

Reform UK leader’s legal threats, denials and attacks on the media are tactics often deployed by US president

When Nigel Farage angrily denounced the BBC and insulted one of its presenters for raising questions about his alleged schoolboy racism, those who have been studying the tactics of the right noted that his behaviour felt familiar.

“Is it out of the Trump playbook? I think that’s exactly what’s going on,” said Steven Barnett, a professor of communications at the University of Westminster. “This is becoming his new modus operandi, turning defence into attack. It’s exactly the tactics White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, uses. There are a lot of journalists in this country who just aren’t used to it.”

Delhi visit gives Russian leader a chance to reduce Moscow’s isolation but both countries need each other to negotiate Trump’s US and a powerful China

When Vladimir Putin last set foot in India almost exactly four years ago, the world order looked materially different. At that visit – lasting just five hours due to the Covid pandemic – Putin and the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, discussed economic and military cooperation and reaffirmed their special relationship.

Three months later, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine would turn him into a global pariah, isolating the Kremlin from the world and restricting Putin’s international travel.

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.
