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.

Judge challenges rationale for Trump’s control over national guard in California - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/05/california-national-guard-trump-judge (The Guardian – World News)

Judge seems skeptical of administration’s case and whether any crisis justifying deployment still exists in Los Angeles

The judge presiding over California’s lawsuit against the Trump administration challenged the federal government’s authority and rationale for continuing to maintain command over the national guard troops it deployed to Los Angeles earlier this year.

The Trump administration federalized the state’s national guard in June, dispatching about 4,000 troops in response to protests in the city over immigration raids, despite opposition from the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom. The state quickly filed a lawsuit, with Newsom calling the move unprecedented and illegal, and the case has been unfolding in the courts for months.

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

The Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart has said artificial intelligence is an “unstoppable force”, and musicians and other artists should bow to the inevitable and license their music 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.

In a press release and a post on his personal Instagram account last month, Infantino said Fifa would launch its very own peace prize, to be awarded each year to “individuals who help unite people in peace through unwavering commitment and special actions”.

Global Witness says plan to upgrade railway line to Angola puts up to 1,200 buildings at risk of demolition

Up to 6,500 people are at risk of being displaced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure project funded by the EU and the US, amid a global race to secure supplies of copper, cobalt and other “critical minerals”, according to a report by campaign group Global Witness.

The project, labelled the Lobito Corridor, aims to upgrade the colonial-era Benguela railway from the DRC to Lobito on Angola’s coast and improve port infrastructure, as well as building a railway line to Zambia and supporting agriculture and solar power installations along the route. Angola has said it needs $4.5bn (£3.4bn) for its stretch of the line.

Snowfall moves south-east over Wyoming and Colorado and combines with dense fog in some areas

A cold spell continued to grip parts of the US this week. After a winter storm brought 20-30cm of snow across Wisconsin, and even up to 35cm in places last weekend, the focus of the winter weather hazards shifted elsewhere early this week.

A storm system moving south-east over Wyoming and Colorado brought a continuous period of snowfall until Thursday morning. Central Colorado and northern New Mexico bore the brunt of the snowfall with accumulations reaching 30cm in places. The heavy snowfall across the Denver region was its first of the winter and caused widespread disruption to flights into and out of Denver on Wednesday and Thursday.

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.

Analysis: Killing of survivors sparks outrage – but entire US ‘drug boat’ war is legally shaky

Top Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Congress on Thursday said that the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, had not ordered the military to kill surviving members of a deadly attack on a boat alleged to be carrying drugs in the Caribbean, but differed over whether the double strike was appropriate.

The allegation that Hegseth ordered the killing of survivors sparked bipartisan concern in Washington that he or others involved may have committed a war crime. On Thursday, US navy admiral Frank Bradley, who commanded the attack, and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Dan Caine, appeared before the House and Senate’s armed services and intelligence committees for a closed briefing in which they showed video and discussed the attack with lawmakers.

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.

AFP has been nominated in both categories to which it applied at the Association for International Broadcasting's (AIB) annual awards.

Chosen as "News Agency of the Year" last year, AFP is again nominated in this category alongside three other agencies.

AFP is also selected for producing one of the best "single news report" videos of the year with the story “Coastal cities face their mortality on the climate ‘frontline’”.

AFP is the only news agency nominated in this category, where its story competes with reports from CNN, BBC World News, ITV News and Al Jazeera English.

The winners will be announced on November 12 and 15, 2021.

The Association for International Broadcasting established the awards in 1993 with the aim of "showcasing the best in television, radio, audio and digital journalism and production".
