Not only did his translations were not reported, but it was found that in cities of Tibet parents are not interested in novels translated because they have nothing to do with the studies their children. In the country, the price of these books, 28.8 yuan (about 3 euros), making them inaccessible.

Cerutti: Cerutti, "A magazine for families in the study with TF1"

July 9, Vincent Cerutti present the second issue of "Sosie Sosie or not" in prime time on TF1. A vote of confidence granted by the private channel to its new host, after a first edition earlier this year. Readily compared to "Surprise of making" the show had launched Marcel Béliveau in 1989 in France, "Sosie Sosie or not" brought 5.2 million viewers on 1 January (23.8% audience share ). "This proves that the concept pleases, said Vincent Cerutti. The difference with "taking on Surprise" is that it is no longer the stars who get trapped, but the stars who, in a role against type, trap and anonymous. " Three programs are planned this summer, 9, 16 and July 23 in prime time, with about twenty guests in total.Whether TF1 wants to make a recurring issue, "it depends figures and viewers," concedes the presenter, who denies receiving any pressure or targets to hearing from the chain. Maybe TF1 wants to install a new brand with this program, at least we'll try, "says he.

Earlier this year, who made his debut on TNT channel local TV Le Mans (LM TV), was screened at the presentation of the new program flow TF1, "Dancing with the Stars" alongside Sandrine Quétier. A strategic project for the chain after the end of "Star Academy". Despite a change in leadership programs, "the second season will take place in a few months, said Vincent Cerutti, although I can not tell you when and with what celebrities."

No production projects

Within six months, the young leader would be poised to confirm that, in its search for new faces, TF1 made him the right choice. Also not impossible that we find in other programs. "A magazine of entertainment is also being studied or for the prime-time, or to a second part of the evening. It would be a show about family life, and a pilot has been shot, "he says.

At a time when most television hosts are also producers, Vincent Cerutti has no plans for now to give in to these sirens. "Producing? Maybe one day, but it is not relevant. My priority is simple: lead and present programs as can Jean-Pierre Foucault. "In 2006, the leader had created his company, Press'Agrum Productions (which no longer exists as such), who has produced "You had your fill! "For SM TV. "It allowed me to present for four years a 90-minute talk show, where I received the guests as diverse as Marc Levy, Michèle Cotta or Jean d'Ormesson." The new host of advanced TF1 also the importance of this type of experience and regional media. "The local DTT channels are like the radio in the 1980s. These are laboratories that allow leaders and journalists of tomorrow to form. It is important to try to keep them even if they suffer a lot economically. "

This summer, Vincent Cerutti will also be broadcast on RTL, for the second consecutive summer. He replaces Vincent Perrot at the helm of "Stop or" every weekend, from 9:30 to 11:30.As in 2010, it will also be with Jean-Sébastien Petitdemange, this time for "Journey of a spoiled listener" on Saturday from 13:30 to 15:00, starting July 16. For those who started on the radio, should be seen as a harbinger of any lasting return on the air? Why not. "I speak with my manager Gerard Louvin," concedes the moderator.

Who's next boss Bercy?

• Baroin: • promoting Valérie Pécresse: reward • Bruno Le Maire: the outsider

The countdown is running. Christine Lagarde flew to Washington Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, she will spend his "great oral" before the Board of the IMF. Which will meet Tuesday to discuss the nominations before appointing a successor to Dominique Strauss-Kahn on June 30 at the latest. Barring a surprise, the Minister of Economy should take precedence over Mexico's Agustin Carstens. His entourage has the head across the Atlantic: "I proposed to the team Baroin to come and visit our offices to make the identification, said one adviser Christine Lagarde. They said: "It would be bad luck!" "

Several ministers are indeed in the running to replace Christine Lagarde. Budget Minister campaigned for weeks.His colleague of Agriculture, Bruno Le Maire, also dream of Bercy. But he seems to have thrown in the towel. The Minister of Higher Education, Valérie Pécresse, which has the support of Christine Lagarde, fingers crossed, too. "Lagarde loves Pécresse, provides an advisor to the Minister of Economy. She believes that appointing a woman to a woman's place is important. But it will not interfere. It is at a different level. It will soon have a status of head of state … "

First outsider, Valérie Pécresse seen its rating go up. She met with Nicolas Sarkozy on Wednesday, after the Council of Ministers. The head-to-head was officially on the large loan and the press conference the President on the subject Monday. But Sarkozy had discussed with her the replacement of Lagarde.In the majority, some believe that appointing a woman to this key position could serve as an able-fire against the candidacy of Martine Aubry in the primary PS, around June 28 "It is played between Pécresse and Baroin," believes a close associate of President. Anyway, the head of state will be careful not to harm women, already under-represented in key government positions since the departure of Rachida Dati and Michèle Alliot-Marie. "The president does not send negative signals about gender or diversity," Elysian swear an advisor.

"The king of herrings"

The head of state could also bring a handful of secretaries of state, whose arrival is announced in the fall. Two positions, at least, are vacant: Public Administration (since the departure of Georges Tron) and Veterans Affairs.If the president decides to bring more "new faces", it "out" of the incumbents. The Minister for Sport, Chantal Jouanno, could start to concentrate on the Senate. "We predicted a reshuffle at minimum, but the president could take this last opportunity to reshuffle the cards before the presidential election," warns a consultant Elysian.

Nicolas Sarkozy should especially take this opportunity to send signals to the centrists. "He wants to crack the clan Borloo," says an adviser. The Secretary General of the UMP, Marc-Philippe Daubresse, told relatives that he had received "assurances" of the president. He also began to prepare his cabinet. In a head-to-head, May 30, Sarkozy had mentioned to him a nomination "for Higher Education or Agriculture."The head of state could also try to "poach" the faithful lieutenant of Borloo, Laurent Hénart. Or, failing that, the former Minister for Overseas, Yves Jego.

The name of the UMP des Alpes-Maritimes, John Leonetti, who chose to live the radical sensibility within the UMP, runs well. The President has recently paid tribute to his "loyalty". But this expert on health does not agree with the health minister, Xavier Bertrand, who had vetoed his appointment in the latest revisions. MP centrist Maine-et-Loire Laffineur Marc is also discussed.

At the Elysee, is amused by this shell game. "The president in secrecy, says a consultant. It is the king of herrings. This will be between him and Xavier Musca. Even between him and …. "" The principle of a reorganization, is the surprise, "says the former minister Brice Hortefeux.

Baroin: promotion

Since coming into office in March 2010, Baroin was a faultless performance credit report. Budget Minister has managed to impose fiscal discipline to his colleagues in government, cutting spending and up to tackle the sacrosanct tax loopholes. Last week, under his leadership, the National Assembly adopted on first reading the supplementary budget, which confirms the removal of the tax shield and the reduction of the ISF. After inheriting the carrier parolat in November 2010, as Chirac ministers could it rise again in the government hierarchy? Many are in the majority, think he was already "well served". If appointed, the mayor of Troyes should release the carrier parolat. But it would keep the Budget. "The president likes him, but it a little suspicious," says a heavy weight of the UMP.The promotion, however, would give new pledges to Chirac, less than a year of presidential elections.

Valérie Pécresse: the reward

It was on the brink of being appointed Minister of Justice in November 2010. But the departure of Jean-Louis Borloo had distributed the cards, bringing the president to give the keys to the Place Vendome in centrist Michel Mercier. Valérie Pécresse has remained in Higher Education, under its charge since May 2007. A record of longevity that allowed him to impose the autonomy of universities, often presented as one of the most emblematic reforms of the quinquennium. "It showed it was broken in the dialogue," said a relative. Deemed "woodcutter" Pécresse is a graduate of ENA and HEC. She speaks English and Russian, and "getting by" in Japanese.Christine Lagarde to Chantal Jouanno, many women ministers would like to see at Bercy. But that Chirac, who sometimes appears as "a good little soldier," a disability: she has never been among the close to Nicolas Sarkozy, sometimes it annoys. For many in the majority, yet it seems that the "best position" to Bercy.

Bruno Le Maire: the outsider

Barring a surprise, Bruno Le Maire should remain in agriculture. He dreamed yet to be entrusted with the Economy, as he had dreamed of Foreign Affairs in 2010. "With each redesign, the Mayor is an active campaign, the air of nothing," enjoys a minister. The former right hand of Dominique de Villepin, whose rise in "Sarkozi" has been meteoric, has serious advantages. Normale technocrat and he mastered the economic issues. Also the IE speaks English, German and Italian started."This is a contest of economics, not of languages!" Squeaky Elysian counsel. The Mayor has invested heavily in the agriculture component of the G20, is prowling and multilateral negotiations. But Sarkozy fears of destabilizing the farmers, who appreciate their minister. The Mayor would also annoyed by "highlighting" the role of project manager in 2012: "For the president, only the Socialists in the country, says an adviser. Put themselves forward on the project was awkward. "Failing to be appointed at Bercy, the Mayor may be given door-parolat.

Mr. X: The temptation of an expert

The magnitude of the crisis in Greece could it bring Nicolas Sarkozy to choose an expert on economic Christine Lagarde to succeed? A heavy weight of the majority is seriously considering this option, arguing even the name of Thierry Breton, CEO of Atos Origin.The former Minister of Economy (2005-2007) mastered the issue of public debt. His appointment would also have political virtues, the source said, "Breton is a friend of Chirac, Raffarin and de Villepin. And they bite Borloo he is near. "Many consider this hypothesis unlikely:" What interest would have to leave the private Breton for an acting position on the eve of 2012? "Enjoys a counselor. The name of the centrist Anne-Marie Idrac is also cited. Edouard Balladur was blown to the president. Former Minister of Foreign Trade may assert a strong background at the head of the RATP and the SNCF. But it is "not aligned" with Sarkozy and "speaks her mind." The government, cohabitation was not always easy with its responsible Minister Christine Lagarde. However, the next holder of Bercy will get along with the next IMF chief.

The Ideal City in 2050

Atlanta Barcelona instead. That is the conclusion from the report today entitled "Cities of the future, the future of cities." Barcelona is 26 times less extent that Atlanta, which reduces transportation and therefore energy consumption. "In Barcelona we consume ten times less energy than Atlanta," it said in the report, which draws the portrait of the ideal city by 2050. A city that is sure to play the card of density but without falling into the excesses of Mexico, a "monstruopole" of 22 million people suffocated by its size, which has the largest slum in the world.

To avoid this shift, Shanghai with 17 million inhabitants has a plan: develop nearby cities to ensure that services are not concentrated only in the city world fast payday loans. Another challenge: finding the right level of decision in these cities more and more large.In Toronto, for example, the five municipalities that made up this megalopolis since the early twentieth century were merged in 1995 to save money while making governance more effective. A political choice that has not been successful: the "New Toronto" was still recruited 3,500 people for its operation. And some red tape remains in decision-making.

Facebook declined in North America

Endtime, accident or simple miscalculation? The latest results are already hearing from Facebook debate. Produced by the research department of the information website Inside Facebook – Facebook is independent of the company itself – these statistics indicate that the most famous social networks would decline among Internet users in North America. Facebook has lost 6 million users in the United States between April and May, and 1.52 million in Canada. The community site will now respectively 149.4 and 16.6 million active members.

Based on his own analysis tool, Inside Facebook has also found a small erosion of over 100,000 active users, markets UK, Norwegian and Russian. Box of 687 million active members worldwide, Facebook has however continued to rise over the period.Drawn by Brazil, Mexico and India, the social network has expanded by nearly 12 million Internet users.

Other alerts

Inside Facebook remains cautious about the meaning of these figures. "We're going supervision is closely to see what trends emerge over the long term, note the service. Bugs in the Facebook advertising tool and we get this information, seasonal changes, such as for studies, and other factors can influence short-term figures on a month and hide what is really happening. "

It is also not the first time that analysts observed a drop in speed at Facebook in the U.S.. Last March, the Institute of audience measurement Comscore noted a slowdown in the growth of Facebook in the United States. In April, Nielsen had warned about a decline in time spent by users on Facebook.Farther still, Nielsen had been a decline of 5% of Facebook users in the United Kingdom in early 2008! Explored by 8.5 million UK Internet users then, the social network now boasts over 29 million.

Greece: Restructuring considered inevitable and frightening

Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the graphic.

While European leaders seek to reassure financial markets by saying that Greece's debt will not be restructured, some strategists say the opposite. "To get out of financial crisis plan which moved the European countries, Greece should be restructured" hard, "said Christophe Donay, chief strategist at Pictet & Cie. In other words, Europe must draw a line under some of Greece's debt-what I call a partial-defect, while recapitalizing banks recorded losses due to restructuring. "

However, the solution currently under discussion at EU level aims to do everything to avoid a "credit event" on the Greek debt, that is to say a default. It is thus considered a new loan to pay 60 to 65 billion euros by 2014.The private sector would also be involved, banks are encouraged to continue investing in the Greek debt to the tune of 15 to 20 billion euros.

"But by giving more money to Greece, Europe or the private sector maintain the regime crisis," says Christophe Donay. "Reading the financial markets on the debt of European countries has changed. Until then, they adopted an accounting approach. In other words, they wondered how Europe should pay to save a troubled country. Today, they wonder whether the European countries generate enough growth to pay off their debts to five or ten years. "

45 years to meet the Maastricht

For Strategist Pictet, the conclusion is clear: the growth rates of financially troubled countries (Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain) are insufficient to finance their debts payday loans.Thus, Greece, Ireland and Portugal are expected to show annual growth of 21%, 13% and 8% in ten years to achieve a debt / GDP ratio of 60% as required by the Maastricht criteria. And if one was considering realistic annual growth rate (2%), it would take 45 years to Greece to meet this criterion and 30 years of debt to Ireland. "It is not clear that financial markets are waiting so long," concluded Christopher Donay.

Time is the right thing yet to the euro zone, according to Anton Brender, Chief Economist at Dexia AM. "Lack of Greece, alone, does not pose a problem in itself," he said. But such an event is likely in the current fragility of other countries in the periphery, causing a phenomenon of contagion.If Greece fails, why not also Ireland or Portugal, who also receive assistance from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, will wonder when the markets.

Beyond even this group of countries at risk, "there is a risk of transmission of the crisis countries such as Belgium, Italy and Spain," continues the economist. "You have to give time to the latter, especially, to leave the area of ​​infection by standing on a stable trajectory of debt reduction", defends Anton Brender. For this, one must combine austerity and growth, two goals are incompatible in the short term.
