A voluntary departure, without regret Grand Journal. "This is the right time to stop (…) I had my account." In an interview candide1 in Paris, Michel Denisot2 unveils his departure from the iconic talk show he hosted Canal + since 2004. "It was better to stop because my desire was beginning to wane," said the host immediately. Canal + has not pushed out. Quite the contrary. The encrypted string proposed him to make a last and tenth season. "This is my personal decision and not that of Canal," he reiterated on RTL on Friday morning.

"The idea has matured since January," said Michel Denisot. Appointed director of the French version of Vanity Fair, the first issue is expected in late June, the presenter realized he could not juggle his TV and press activity. "For nine years, I'm on a treadmill that does not stop. I do 14-hour days, "he recalls. "I'll run [Vanity Fair] but also write a bit, it takes time. Start a new adventure in a prestigious title at age 68, it's a huge kick bowl, "said Michel Denisot, which does not preclude returning to the world of football. "I have contacts with several leaders of the club, I can have a consulting business," considering the former president of PSG.

No pressure of the ratings

The incident cannois3 when an individual shot of shots on the set of the show, causing it to discharge live, also played. "There were small signs, I wanted to stop when a madman decided to shoot, it struck me," he admits.

However, Michel Denisot refutes such as Canal + that the decline of hearing the issue4 was the catalyst for his departure. "The season was the third best audience of the program and even the case since the creation of Canal +," defends the presenter no teletrack payday loan. For him, if the 2012-2013 season was below the previous is that presidential years energize particular audience. Very proud of the team of the Grand Journal, Michel Denisot sent them an e-mail Thursday, the content was released by Ozap5. "After 9 years outstanding on your side I decided to stop on June 28 These are the nine most beautiful years of my professional life and you have all contributed, I thank you from my heart, "wrote the TV man. "Le Grand Journal is the most successful in the history of Canal + in terms of audience, images and revelations of many talents. We did this together and we will never forget. We'll finish off this word that suits you so well, "he says.

Hearings this slice clear the encrypted string are stalled for a year with a decline of more than 10%, hovering around 1.6 million viewers against 1.7 million in 2011-2012, but better than the 1.5 million in 2009-2010.

If the host picks the Grand Journal, confirms that it does not leave much to the antenna of the encrypted string. It will continue to provide exceptional events such as Caesars and the ceremonies of the Cannes Film Festival. Michel Denisot has already met with the leadership of Canal + 6potentiel his successor. "I notice," he says without revealing which one. Among the names mentioned in-house earlier this week, Maïtena Biraben that this "Supplement" on the weekend, seems to hold the rope. Another track envisaged that Ali Baddou Yann Barthes or Antoine de Caunes. But he denied Thursday night disponible7 be.

Jumped more than fifteen years rear1! There have to go back to the first quarter of 1998 to find an unemployment rate as bad in France. The situation at the time was different, however. The French economy was emerging from a period of weakness and was about to experience a growth phase, with grazing rates, even exceeding 3% per annum. Nothing like today. It would even be quite the opposite. All international organizations predict that 2013 will be a year of recession (with negative growth rates between -0.2% and -0.1%). France is in fact of revival with growth next year, and even with a low rate of growth of national wealth estimated at around 1%.

In 1997 the government (socialist) had accompanied the massive economic downturn, with two strong measures in employment. First, the passage forced march (starting in 1999) to 35 hours, and secondly, the creation of 350,000 jobs for young people (heavily subsidized by the state contracts) in the non-profit sector over five years. Lionel Jospin provided even then also the hiring of 350,000 jobs for young people in other companies (the final unfilled). But what had the time allowed to leave the economy is growing. The support of the state, particularly in terms of youth employment had been only marginal. Between 1997 and 2002, no less than 3 million jobs have indeed been created, 300,000 or less generated by the mere reduction of working time. 10%.

A state support smaller

Fiscal crisis and the need to bring the accounts to balance 2obligent, fifteen years after the wing was heavily downgraded. The support of the State in social treatment of unemployment, is more limited effect. Hollande 3escompte creating 100,000 jobs for the future (the successors of youth employment in 1997) this year and 150,000 in total by the end of 2014. Barely 21% of the funds promised for youth employment (700,000 in public and private) in the coming to power of the Left in 1997. Question assisted contracts, the envelope is roughly the same and amounts to around 400,000 devices subsidized. As contracts generation (device for the employment of a young person CDI against the continued employment of a senior), half a million are scheduled in five years, including 80,000 this year.

Worse, the forecast creation / destruction of jobs for years to come are the reverse of those of 1997. Fifteen years ago, the economy was going into effect to create more than 320,000 jobs! As a result, over the two years 1998-1999 recovery, payroll employment rose by 670,000 … Today, unemployment insurance – which is seldom wrong in his expectations – instead allows the destruction of nearly 185,000 jobs over the years 2013-2014. With a parallel increase in the number of registered unemployed in category A at employment center than 310,000!

Reached three times in the past

It is thus difficult in these conditions (recessionary economy, forecasts of job destruction, public policies on the labor market downgraded …) how the curve of unemployment, rising continuously for more than two years, could s' reversed before the end of the year, as yet promises François Hollande4. The historical record of an unemployment rate of 10.8% of the workforce, reached only three times in the past (in the second quarter of 1994, the first and second quarter of 1997), has every chance of being equaled or exceeded this year if the current trend (with quarterly increases of 0.2 or 0.3) continues

This is the surprise of the day for those who do not follow the daily succession of Laurence Parisot1 … Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux2 the boss Omea Telecom (Virgin Mobile France …), topped the vote on Monday the Executive Board of MEDEF the government organization for the election to the presidency. With 19 votes, the former president of the employers' association CroissancePlus3 – which aims to become "spokesman bosses" for three years – a short head ahead of the favorite in the polls and large federations, Pierre Gattaz, President of the Group of Industrial Federations.

The son of the former president of CNPF4, the ancestor of MEDEF, previously enjoyed a good dynamic campaign but was convinced "that" 18 members of the Executive Board (of 45) recommend the 560 the general meeting on July 3 to vote for him. As for Patrick Bernasconi, the former lieutenant Laurence Parisot who negotiated all social arrangements the past five years on behalf of the MEDEF, it has received only six votes on its behalf, a score below that 'he expected, seriously handicapping his chances of winning in a month.

"There was a reflex vote helpful to rebalance the country and led to a duel for the election," says Will is in the camp of Bézieux Roux, whose predictions turn gave their champion in mind. "However, there is a month of the campaign and 48-72 hours are going to be important," still holds a council of former President UNEDIC. The attitude of Patrick Bernasconi will indeed be crucial. Found close to the Red Line Bézieux, many are betting on a future rallying the President of the Federation of Public Works to Stop Pierre Gattaz5 totally free credit score. "It will also depend on when it will withdraw," argues a pro-Roux Bézieux. The two men, who appreciate and often exchange by telephone, have repeatedly discussed closer until their application but stumbled on the order of the "ticket". Monday morning in a radio debate, Patrick Bernasconi6 has also not ruled out to do on the day. Things, at least now are clearer on the order of rallying

. First divisions

If the opinion of the Executive Council relaunched the campaign, it is not provided for a sesame Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux. "The members of the General Assembly are very legitimists and have always followed the choice of the executive board," do we want to believe in the entourage of Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux. The same point the finger of dissension among the first supporters of Pierre Gattaz, because it takes place in the device Denis Kessler, CEO of Scor group, whose personality deeply divided the business world.

Nevertheless, Pierre Gattaz always have the valuable support of the three main federations of MEDEF (metallurgy, insurance, banking …) and many territorial MEDEF (Paca, Rhone-Alpes …) which will be available in hundreds of votes on July 3. Supporters of President of the Group of Industrial Federations also argue that the 45 members of the Executive Board are "very Parisian" and that therefore their vote reflects little one will be the 560 members of the General Assembly. A further argument to be wrong but was not retained when the dam was made in March, Laurence Parisot asking the ability to run for a third term

Atypical pattern of SBF 120, inhabited artist, businessman visionary Thierry Ehrmann detonates. Interview with a passionate inventor of leading information on the art market.

Le Figaro Magazine – Artprice How did he become a great vantage point?

Thierry Ehrmann – Artprice is the largest database on the art market. Over the years, we have acquired a lot of editorials funds, including 270,000 manuscripts and catalogs of the seventeenth century to ensure traceability of works. We have data on 108 million artwork and biographical data we manage over 1.8 million artists, 550,000 of which have already appeared in public auctions. At one point, more than 200 historians working with us to be sure to assign tables to the good artists, particularly those of Flemish painters. We have in our servers 27 million sales results and thanks to this memory Artprice became what it is. We also manage virtual portfolios 630,000 individuals, who want to follow the price of their collections.

How do you set the dimension of an array?

In the past, when we wanted to estimate, for example, a Chagall painting 80×80cm, we referred to sales of paintings by the artist whose size was comparable. Artprice works differently depending on the method of repeated sale. We follow the same work, the evolution of the price over time. Like, for example, Basquiat, sold in New York, then eight years later in London, and three years later in Paris. Our indices are built like that. Our company is designed with scientists, the rest is wet finger.

The health of the art market it seems you do not insolent?

The art market is evolving in parallel with the stock market, our index is correlated with the S & P500. It became an issue of power: China is number one since 2010, the U.S. number two, and France, in 1962, accounted for 54% of the art market, weighs only 4%. The French art market should consider when in a single day in New York one year of revenue from home France come true. The market of the spring, he had ten years to recover from the crisis of the 90s, it took him two after that of 2008. The time is in favor of art as a luxury. When you buy a property, it is devalued over time, insurers apply a coefficient of decay. Conversely should apply a multiplier bonus to art.

Soaring prices may yet create bubbles.

I do not see. The market is growing because we are witnessing a sociological revolution. After World War II, there were 500,000 avid collectors in the world today there are 450 million art Consumers. Collectors start younger, to the thirties. Half of the works that are exchanged are worth less than 1500 euros. We always have a vision of a market between millionaires, but it no longer corresponds to reality. Before we first bought the house, then to fifty status is supported by starting a collection quick cash. Today, I see our group of young professionals who are not owners, invest 15,000 euros in the art as they furnish their apartment at Ikea.

What about fads about contemporary art?

They are not dangerous. The market is fluid resistant. Collectors and museums sell with less emotional than before. Artists also have evolved – the myth of the cursed artist is gone. They know how to regulate their production and formats to not flood the market. Damien Hirst does it very well. In contemporary art, there are market makers in finance as they "swallow" a work as necessary to reflect the market. While many contemporary artists beyond modern in terms of price, I think it is less likely to buy an artwork that action if we properly informed.

Where does the art market?

For works under 15,000 euros, we can not speak of a market economic point of view, it's the emotion that the reasoning that guides buyers. Beyond 15,000 euros if you are well advised, it is difficult to be "washed" in a few years, then that is what happened to many stock market. For two years, some individuals have also sold securities to invest in the art market. This also explains the good pricing.

Art is it a good investment?

I am convinced. When they lend money to their customers, the banks also prefer to take security tables a stock portfolio. According to our calculations, a work of 15,000 to 50,000 euros is valorizes 5 to 7% per year in the future, between 50,000 and 100,000 euros in 8 to 10% per year. And beyond 100,000 euros for works perfect with good traceability certificates, 14% per year. These are average annualized price increases over a period of ten years which correspond to purchases notified of knowledgeable people. And buyers, thanks to new technologies, the possibility of reaching the galleries knowing the history of the value of an artist, the rate of returns … the perfect way to buy.

What they think of him

– "Maniac, provocative, this sculptor and artist is also and foremost a shrewd businessman. The Abode of Chaos, a kind of modern art museum dedicated to the Apocalypse, located in Saint-Romain-au-Mont-d'Or, a quiet suburb of Lyon, Thierry Ehrmann cultivates its image cypberpunk trash. " Expansion, Franck Dedieu and Beatrice Mathieu, June 2012.

– "Thierry Ehrmann received in his office encased circular screens and not far from resembling a control of a nuclear power plant after the Apocalypse. A skull under glass rubs the al-Jazeera pictures, ancient piles of catalogs of works of art, sometimes graphics on the evolution of the Chinese side of the darlings of contemporary art. "Liberation Christophe Alix, July 2012.

Emirates1 is not satisfied with France. While the Dubai-based company already has two daily flights from Paris, a daily flight from Nice and five weekly flights from Lyon, the giant would best serve the city of Lyon.

"If you asked Lyon if it would be better to have a daily flight to Dubai, they would say yes," exclaimed Thierry Antinori, Emirates' Vice President, in charge of sales. There's a month and a half, the company has asked the French government to get this right. "Why do we have five flights a day from France?, Asks the former Air France, Lufthansa spent in before flying to Dubai leader. We totalisons six in the UK, nine in Germany, seven in Italy, "he lists.

But European companies see a very dim view of this expansion. Thursday at the general meeting of shareholders of Air France-KLM2, Jean-Cyril Spinetta, who was attending his last "AG" said Emirates did not realize that 10% of its turnover in the Gulf and the Arab world, while 30% came from Europe and 30% Asia.

"Air France KLM achieves more than 60% of its sales in Europe"

Jean-Cyril Spinetta

"Air France KLM generates over 60% of its sales in Europe," he said. He also called on the European Commission "audits of competitive conditions" of Emirates operations.

A chorus annoys company Gulf no fax needed payday loans. "Instead of whining, executives of Air France should better target the growth of their company on the major cities in Asia," said Thierry Antinori. Emirati company, which has increased its offer by 20% in 2012, continues to rise. It carried 39 million passengers last year against 34 million the previous year, according to its leaders, the number of aircraft in its fleet will increase from 169 to 200 by 2018.

Its profits have not suffered from rising fuel prices: in 2012, they grew by 52% to $ 622 million, for a turnover of 20 billion dollars. A performance paled leaders of European companies, which have recorded huge operating losses and whose abilities are clamped to prevent further losses. Emirates base its future growth on transport flows Century: "These links between Asia and Europe, Asia and Africa, Asia and South America, says Thierry Antinori. In all cases, passengers will pass through Dubai, an emirate where one does not hesitate to spend billions of dollars to move the international airport, enlarge or dedicate an entire terminal at A 380.

Emirates executives who have already made the full command widebody 2017, should add thirty additional units to the fleet. "The success of the A380 could lead us to buy thirty more, said Thierry Antinori. But we also look at the future and compare Boeing 777. "

No potentially lucrative sector of the Web can not escape Google1. Net giant announced Wednesday the launch of a service streaming2 music (a subscription to a music library rather than buying securities unit). Google Play Music All Access will be available for a subscription of $ 9.99 per month, first in the United States, and then rapidly in other countries, including France.

To make its offer streaming attractive, Google did not skimp on resources. It would have won agreements with the largest majors, Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music. "Millions of songs" are available. Google relies on its ability to recommend content based on users' tastes and manage research to differentiate. With music streaming, Google does more than add another string to its services available in Android (the operating system for smartphones and tablets, including used by Samsung, LG, Sony).

Unmet goals

Group Mountain View 3change totally strategy in music. Until now, he was content to copy Apple's iTunes download service with its securities unit, called Google Play Music. But it has not achieved its objectives in sales, generating only "a few million" dollars in 2012 according to analysts. The U.S. is trying to solve a problem so far, its services on Android does not generate enough revenue. The comparison with Apple performance in the field may be cruel to Google. In the first quarter of 2013, iTunes, App Store 4 (the Apple App store), iBooks … generated over $ 4 billion in revenue. That's four times more than Google Play. This despite the fact that 900 million Android devices have been activated worldwide, against 500 million for Apple. Another concern, Samsung would pull more profits from Android as Google itself, according to the firm Strategy Analytics.

$ 900 action

For Google, it becomes urgent to restore balance. However, the market for online music and especially the streaming is one of the most promising. And it is still under construction. For now, they are "small players" as Pandora5, a kind of Internet radio with more than 200 million users, the Swedish Spotify, which displays 6 million premium subscribers paying out between 5 and 10 dollars per month, or the French Deezer, who clear the market. But the big players arrive. Google has taken the first step, Apple would consider the follow Amazon have a project in the area, according to the Wall Street Journal.6

Buoyed by these ads, Google stock has passed for the first time the threshold of $ 900, up more than 2.5%, to $ 907, while its market capitalization now exceeds $ 300 billion. It is similar to that of Apple, which totaled 408 billion, or 240 billion less than last September, when the action has reached its historical record.

First quarter accounts TF11 plunged into the red. The private audiovisual group chaired by Nonce Paolini released an operating loss of € 15.7 million and a net loss after minority interests of 6.3 million. Advertising revenues were down 12%.

LE FIGARO. – You have changed the way to present your accounts. Is it bad to underestimate your results for the quarter?

Nonce Paolini. – This makes no sense! TF1 accounts are public and audited. The truth is that for about three years, given the variety of group activities, financial statement no longer reflects how the group develops. This change in presentation, many major European groups have also adopted, is an effort to further transparency.

The results of the advertising group, down 12%, were punished Exchange last week. What is your analysis?

This is a bad performance we can not be satisfied! But all media now suffering from the economic situation. We face strong pressure from advertisers and their wait. Added to this is a competitive situation without precedent in France: the market for free TV clash sees no fewer than 25 channels owned by nine different operators. Finally, in the context of hyper-fragmentation of supply, we face a fierce price war clearly triggered by one of our competitors. Also, the results can not be good.

You mean your competitor M6 Group

.

While the market continues to be seen for several months. While lowering prices, the M6 ​​Group in step with the decline in hearing both antennas M62 and W93. He practices comparable to Freeview promotions. This is normal because its main chain became the first chain TNT4! But embarking on a wild ride that collapses as the price is destructive of value. And this is in the interest of person or televisions, or the advertisers who need media healthy! It is not the viewers who could face a decline in the supply of programs if reason does not prevail!

Are there not a paradox in your hearings have rebounded over the last nine months and your bottom line?

This does not affect, in any case, the strategy that we have set ourselves: to offer premium advertising space to advertisers. With an average audience of 23.4% during the day, unique in Europe, we offer exceptional opportunities for contacts, no other channel can offer: the TF1's audience is more than twice that of M6! In addition, TMC5 resists and NT16 increased despite the increased fragmentation of the offer. HD17 and is head of six new channels launched last December. Also, the TF1 group, with our success in the digital, has the most advantages to benefit from any economic revival. What we want and what we succeed, is to touch the widest possible and not we focus on one target on which women M6 and most Freeview cannibalize public. Because it is simply forget all the other viewers who are also prescribers and economic actors! In short, it is not only the famous housewife under fifty who decides purchases home. The company has evolved. Also continue to offer programs that bring together the largest number we go. I would add that, unlike our competitors, we are severely handicapped by the obligation to sell the advertising of our four channels via two different boards. It will not be the case in 2015.

Jo was lovely audience scores during the broadcast of the first episode, a little less in the second. Should we rethink your strategy international fiction?

There are hearings France who works and those of France bridges. Also, both Jo hearings are not comparable. And they are above average! Beyond this series, you should know that for several years the French fictions are heavily loss: revenue not balance their cost, which has been growing! They mainly affect older audiences while the American series are full of a younger audience that advertisers consider the most interesting. The stakes are high for our cultural exception! And international co-productions are a very interesting way.

"Koh-Lanta8" was a strong brand TF1. After the tragedy that affected the show, do you replace it?

We were deeply shocked. Today there is a preliminary investigation in progress and it is only in the light of its conclusions TF1 determine. The death of our candidate is a tragedy, and we now know he had a heart defect that was fatal. To me, if there is a "Koh-Lanta" matter is that the suicide of Dr. Costa. He was the victim of a heinous media lynching. Most shocking is that his death has left marble perpetrators of these terrible accusations! You know, our mission and our goal is to inform and entertain. And death should never be at the rendezvous emissions we prepare.

Aurélie Filippetti, Minister of Culture and Communication, plans for its future bill to reform the rules to improve advertising revenue channels. What do you think?

Successive governments have increased the errors favoring oversupply television. We measure the disastrous effects on the health of the audiovisual sector, that is to say, its funding and suddenly its creative dynamism. We have emphasized throughout recent months with government on several changes needed in this area: for example, the terms of sponsorship, advertising and prohibited areas creating a shopping channel. On these three points, it seems that we have been heard.

This bill also provides for dust relations between TV channels and producers. What do you expect?

All stakeholders agree: we need a rebalancing of economic relations between broadcasters and producers. We all have an interest in creating a new heritage of works that can at once to collect the larger public but also to reap the benefits internationally. It should help us build the audiovisual gives future. And my motto is that you have a fiction that is exported. This rebalancing will require a new deal with the recovery of such shares in favor of co-chains, with the opportunity to invest in the creation taking stakes in production companies, which implies a new division between dependent and independent generation . Finally, it is necessary that our obligations in a broader European space co is allowed. Series like Jo or Crossing Lines, which will be broadcast on American network NBC Universal this summer, are successful abroad before France! In short, we must give the means to be conquerors!

They hoped to collect tens of thousands of people as last year. Activists, supervised by the Nuclear Exit Network, organized a human chain Saturday in 18 different points of Paris. Their goal: to seek the judgment of this energy in France, two years after the Fukushima disaster. According to organizers, there were more than 20,000 participants.  

According to the spokesman for Nuclear Phaseout, Pierric Duflos, protesters surrounded a series of "power centers" that promote nuclear energy, as the National Assembly and the Senate, several ministries, including Defense and Ecology, the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), the seats of EDF and Areva in the neighborhood of Defense, as well as several banks, including BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole who finance power projects .

"This chain yellow sun sent a message of solidarity with the Japanese people" and "indignation message to policy makers that we impose a deadly behalf of narrow interests and economic nationalism," according to a statement released by the network.
