Black week for France 2 and 3. Despite program schedules reviewed in depth, mayonnaise is difficult with the public.

According to figures from Médiamétrie, France 2 wins on the week with an audience share that does not exceed 13.3%, while France 3 is below 10% (9.4%). In September 2010, France 2 then peaked at 15.2% audience share, while the monthly regional channel still showed a 10.2%.

Stalls which raise the question as to whether the two chains have changed their schedule from top to bottom than the choice of new issues.France 2 and a string of setbacks on almost all of its new developments that would allow him to raise the level of 15% of audience share. The cultural program "preview" of Elizabeth Tchoungui, broadcast on Wednesday night in the second part of the evening, not taking off the 2.8% audience share on average over the first three editions. This does not represent more than 350,000 viewers. Worse, the average of this time slot falls from the hearings the first six months of the year. From January to June, met this box on average 1.2 million viewers and 9% audience share.

Too much competition

Similarly, the issue of Jean-Luc Delarue ("Family Reunion") is satisfied, on its first three editions, as 800,000 viewers on average for an audience share of 9%.Harder was the prime time last Saturday: "Sing Off, 100% Voice," which was to sign the renewal of the entertainment on France 2, has amounted to an audience share of 8.9% far from the figures usually produced by Patrick Sébastien, which peaked at 22.4%.

Finally, even the new programs of the day are not recipes. And "Hello-Good-bye," the sweet reality show on France 2, is far from the usual average of the chain on Saturday afternoon, or "Would you be a good expert," with Julien Courbet at 17 hours, has collected an average of 640,000 viewers. As the only major success of the chain is the current political program "Words and deeds" that convinced nearly 5 million people in prime time during the primary socialist."We did a lot of change and innovation on France 2 and now we set the grid on a daily basis. It is a spine that is being built, Claude-Yves Robin argues, the CEO of the chain, which defends its choice. The public needs to find its new benchmarks. "

France 3 next week, was saved by the sure value of the string, the series more beautiful life which, with its special evening on Tuesday, has almost reached 20% audience share. What correct very poor performance from the movie Carmen (only 6% Saturday night) and poor scores in some of the new issues of the chain. In Focus, the novelty of Cyril Viguier, "Friday on a plateau," which, on average, over its first three editions, totaling 500,000 viewers and only 4.9% of the audience. Or a score of half that of Mireille Dumas, at the same time, flirted with 9% of the audience.Even the program "Thalassa" modernized off easily. It was not until the last issue to find the audiences last year, around 9.7%. However, François Guilbeau, the head of France 3, prefers to remind "the excellent score of 19/20" with a new formula peaks at 17.3 audience share. "Moreover, he says, all our new programs are progressing. Ever, a program that installs not succeed the first time. Competition is too strong. We have the choice between innovation or re still the same programs. France 3 has chosen innovation. "Only the movie nights in the chain, éditorialisées by Frederic Taddei, are well above the average, to 11.4%.

The trader UBS would have bet up to $ 10 billion

September 18, 2011 - 4:00 pm Comments Off

Commitments at risk of Kweku Adoboli have increased to 10 billion dollars (7.2 billion euros) according to the Sunday Times. Arrested on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, the trader in London the Swiss bank UBS has been detained by a judge Friday. May request bail at a subsequent hearing Thursday.

UBS said Thursday an estimated loss of 1.5 billion euros due to fraudulent transactions of its employees. Since then, the bank did not provide details on the mechanisms in question. The extent of fraud appears, however, reach gigantic proportions: it would be spread over three years since October 2008, without apparently the slightest alarm it caused internally. UBS warned regulators Swiss and British have launched a joint investigation.The bank has set up a parallel internal investigation unit called "Project Bronze" and instructed one of his best traders in derivatives, Jason Barron, to unwind positions Kweku Adoboli. While the fraud would have been discovered in the day Wednesday, all commitments have been liquidated Adoboli Friday.

Supposedly low-risk operations

The trader, who was promoted to his post in 2008 from the back office services, was a member of a small team of five people at Delta One desk. Their mission: to invest large sums to the equity of the bank's alleged market changes, via financial instruments called ETF (exchange traded funds). Generally, low profits emerged from these supposedly low-risk operations at very high volumes.Adoboli of the fault could have come from a lack of coverage of his Paris, which would have resulted in a spiral of losses since the collapse of financial markets this summer.

New to fear layoffs

The extent of the scandal poses serious threats to the future of UBS. While the bank has launched a 3500 plan job cuts, new job cuts are feared. The approximately 6000 employees of the investment bank in London feared an outright shutdown of their business, which should show a loss on the year while UBS as a whole should remain the beneficiary. Despite calls for resignations in Switzerland, head of UBS, Gruebele Oswald replied that he did not intend. "If you ask me whether I feel guilty, I say no," he told the newspaper Der Sonntag.

Concerned about its reputation with its clients it manages fortunes, UBS wrote them a letter Saturday to try to reassure them. "We fully understand that this incident may worry, says the bank. We are very disappointed and we also assure you that UBS is taking the matter very seriously and makes every effort to resolve it quickly. Your assets are safe with us. "

Libya is committed to a high risk transition

September 2, 2011 - 12:24 pm Comments Off

It was, we had warned at the Elysee, to "gather the international community behind the Libyan authorities to help them succeed in the reconstruction of a new Libya." Ambitious goal of the conference of "Friends of Libya," held Thursday, will have almost been reached, at least in terms of number of participants. Sixty delegations, countries or organizations have responded to the invitation launched by Nicolas Sarkozy, in tandem with David Cameron. An initiative no later than last week, so "with the desire to move quickly to engage the clutch in this critical transition period," noted one in the entourage of Nicolas Sarkozy. Implicitly, participation in the conference meant for those who came, a recognition of the new government of Libya.The step was taken, in extremis, by Russia on Thursday while Algeria, home to the family Gaddafi has promised to do. Alger, whose attitude was described Thursday as "ambiguous" by Alain Juppe, was represented by its Foreign Minister, Mourad Medelci. Going slightly, too, China has nevertheless sent a deputy minister Thursday at the Elysee. One notable absence, South Africa, dissatisfied with the intervention of Nato. The African Union, although represented, also known as not yet ready to recognize the CNT.

Stabilize the country and standardize its neighborly relations will not be any challenge for the new Libya. The fighting is still pending. "The fortunes of war can not be reversed, but the strength of pro-Gaddafi nuisance, including snipers, remains important," notes do you as president.NATO strikes will continue "as long as necessary," warned David Cameron.

Even before the reconstruction of the country, relief was on the menu of the Paris conference to try to overcome the lack of water, electricity and fuel. Immediate needs for which funding must be provided by the thaw immediate $ 15 billion of assets Gaddafi clan abroad, including $ 1 payday loan lenders.5 billion in France. The two main leaders of the CNT, Moustapha Abdeljalil and number two, Mahmoud Jibril, a French plane went for Thursday morning in Benghazi, presented their priorities for reconstruction.

Form an "effective policing" and "democratic"

The main challenge will be the establishment of democratic institutions.To the powers that "accompany" the renaissance, it will be mainly to avoid the excesses of a scenario in Iraq or, even more formidable, in Afghanistan. "Nothing can happen without forgiveness and reconciliation," warned Nicolas Sarkozy. The "road map" institutional CNT expects over eighteen months, the establishment of a provisional government, a Constituent Assembly and the adoption by referendum of a constitution, followed by general elections. But the project is far from being finalized. Already, the European Union was prepared to assist the new authorities to form an "effective policing" and "democratic", said Thursday its chief diplomat, Catherine Ashton. At the request of the CNT, Ban Ki-moon proposed sending a quick UN mission.A few dozen men, and even a few hundred, they could stabilize a country the size of France three times? The question will arise, as was the collection of weapons distributed in abundance and that of Islamism. Risk dismissed out of hand in Paris, where it is stated that "there may be small groups but that does not represent Islam in Libya or a sensitivity or a significant threat." The group of new friends in Libya will be judged on his next visit in late September in New York. Nicolas Sarkozy has finally provided to want to go to Tripoli with David Cameron when the CNT will be installed.

Medicare: Fraud practitioners weighs heavily

August 9, 2011 - 12:20 pm Comments Off

Policyholders are not those who dig the more the deficit of Social Security. The latest report of the national delegation to the fight against fraud, health professionals appear to be the biggest fraud, Les Echos said in its Tuesday edition. Of the 156.3 million euros of fraud detected in 2010, over two thirds of them were made, resulting fictitious billing services to health insurance, or forgery of prescriptions.

According to the report of the delegation, hospitals and clinics generate the bulk of fraud, with 70 million overpaid last year. In most cases, the illegality is the billing Medicare for an act more expensive than actually performed. This may be an intentional desire to bail out an institution like a simple mistake.In other cases, Medicare deems a wrongful act (eg hospitalization) and demand reimbursement. These overcharges "are often mistakes rather than actual fraud," says the business daily Pierre Fender, director of the repression of fraud in Medicare.

Unjustified sick unrecognized

Hospitals and clinics also rebelled against the sanctions imposed as such by Medicare. They feel arbitrary and exorbitant fines that are imposed No teletrak payday loan. The government, which seems willing to reconsider its position, has begun negotiations with hospital associations to reduce the legal uncertainty that they face because of these sanctions.

Behind the hospitals and clinics, nurses Liberals also put in a good position in the ranking of fraud, with 13 million in damage in 2010, followed by health carriers to 7 million euros. In most cases, they falsify or create false orders to charge transport that have not been made. As pharmacists, they claimed last year the payment to the Medicare drug not issued for the $ 3.5 million.

False sick leave, which allow an employee to pursue an activity while being paid by Medicare, are the first post of fraud of the insured to the tune of 5 million euros. The sick are unjustified, however, not recorded.For their part, fraud in the universal health coverage (CMU) or medical help of the state, intended for foreigners, which in 2010 accounted for 2.5 million euros.

Why the threat of recession resurfaced

August 5, 2011 - 8:40 pm Comments Off

And if the economy plunged again? That fear surfaced today. Known for his pessimistic views on the global economy, economist Nouriel Roubini estimates that 40% the risk of "double dip", that is to say a return to recession. If this scenario, already mentioned last year, did not materialize, the current situation shows signs of concern. The effects of stimulus faded, and the engine of the U.S. as European economies seem to have trouble turning on its own. The failure of growth is emerging as a threat even bigger than the Western states can no longer afford indebted to put out the fires with new stimulus packages in case of an attack.

A series of statistical alarmantesL'alerte has been given in recent weeks with the publication of leading indicators sharply lower.These statistics take the pulse of the economy before the publication of official statistics, always at the wrong time. Most of these indices is followed by the "PMI", which measures the purchasing managers' sentiment. Specifically, investigators asked each month to businesses if they have more or less bought industrial supplies, for example, the previous month.

The PMI U.S. and euro area are on the verge of decline (50.9 points in July to the first, 51.1 for the second in June). Also very disturbing, the same indicator for China reflects a decline in activity, below 50 at 49.3 points. HSBC, which makes this index, however, relativize the seriousness of the situation: if an indicator below 50 reveals a contraction of a month to month, production is up 11% to 13% on a year China.

Still, the euro area is expected in the coming months to join the Asian giant below that fateful 50-point, fears BNP Paribas. Business in France and Germany, the main drivers of European growth has indeed slowed, while in the peripheral countries (Greece, Portugal ,…), indicators already show signs of a recession.

"The deterioration results from several factors: a weakened global growth, an environment full of uncertainty and, above all, renewed tensions in the markets, analyzing Ken Wattret, economist at BNP Paribas. Past crises teach us here that periods of great uncertainty and market pressures are accompanied by very low investment by business. "

ECB optimistic, but not market

Jean-Claude Trichet was still wanted optimistic Thursday.He believes that "we could see very strong growth in the fourth quarter" in the eurozone. And even if "the second quarter, of course, much less supported than the first, was amazing," he added. Economists are however a lot more gray horizon. In the eurozone, BNP Paribas expects growth halved in the third quarter to 0.4%, and a "modest rebound" to 0.4% by year end.

The latest statistics released on Friday in the euro zone are showing signs contradictory. German industrial production fell 1.1% in June. In Italy, activity, sluggish early this year, has picked up modestly in the second quarter to 0.3%. However, the Spanish growth slowed from 0.3% in the first quarter to 0.2% in the second.

Lacourt-Stravius: the same coin but not the same income

July 27, 2011 - 4:00 am Comments Off

Two world champions, yet two totally separate financial realities. This is the observation made on Tuesday after Camille Lacourt Stravius ​​and Jeremy have jointly won the gold medal in 100 meter backstroke in Shanghai (China).

The first saw its revenues increased more than sixteen in less than a year with new advertising contracts. 42,000 euros per year in August 2010, Camille Lacourt thus rose to 700,000 euros, much of which end of advertising contracts. Jeremy Stravius, it has at present still no agent and a single sponsor, Tyr, obtained through the French Federation of Swimming.

Thanks to a physique, Camille Lacourt has attracted luxury brands like Clarins and beauty, and earns 200,000 euros a year for six years, and Chanel, which pays 70,000 euros a year to wear its watches. But not only.These three gold medals taken down on three different disciplines at the European Championships in 2010 convinced the sponsors to leverage the rising value of swimming. This choice is paying now. "We have no logic, because the muse is the star product, it says Clarins. Such a partnership is a new and unusual practice for us. It's Camille Lacourt who came to us. President Christian Courtin had a crush on the athlete who shared our family values. It has in fact explained that her grandmother was attached to our products low fee payday loans. It has become our first ambassador. What we do not regret today. "

Banking on new talent to one year of the Olympics 2012

A speech that could also take Tyre, the last date of the associate sponsor of the club swimmers Marseille.Last June, the U.S. supplier has signed with him a three-year contract for a minimum of 80,000 euros per year. This amount could go up to 150,000 euros.

The gap is large with Jeremy Stravius ​​which according to our information, does not own advertising contract. But in the basin of Shanghai, the swimmer's club has yet matched the Amiens time Camille Lacourt, which is considered as one of the specialists in the discipline. Jeremy Stravius ​​therefore affect the same amount as for this fellow gold medal.

Amiens and the swimmer is reassuring: the current situation is reminiscent of Camille Lacourt a year ago, before it exploded and sports media to the general public.As long as Jeremy Stravius ​​this week confirmed its performance on other distances, it is not inconceivable that a brand can be associated with his image, in just one year of London Olympics in 2012.
