L'émission 28 Minutes du 16/12/2024 L'anthropologue Élisabeth Azoulay décrypte les canons de "100 000 ans de beauté" La beauté d'aujourd'hui sera-t-elle la même que celle de demain ? Lorsqu'on lit le nouvel ouvrage d'Élisabeth Azoulay, on peut très vite se faire une idée de la réponse. L'anthropologue a publié aux éditions Gallimard, "100 000 ans de beauté", un livre collectif dans lequel des spécialistes étudient l'évolution et l'histoire de la beauté. Le tout en cinq volumes, chacun dédié à une époque : la Préhistoire (fondations), l'Antiquité (civilisations), l'Âge classique (confrontations), la Modernité (globalisation) et le futur (projection). Le propos est "anthropologique", "pour traiter de la beauté humaine dans toute sa variété", "à travers une multitude de sculptures, tableaux, photographies, images de films, objets, etc." Selon Élisabeth Azoulay, 2050 signera l'ère de "l'homo estheticus 3.0", car "la beauté est un système collectif d'aliénation au sein duquel l'individu essaye de se frayer un chemin." Jusqu'où la crise politique aggravera-t-elle la crise des finances de la France ? À peine nommé à Matignon, François Bayrou a déjà dû affronter sa première crise. L'agence de notation Moody's, qui mesure le risque de non-remboursement d'un emprunteur, a dégradé la note financière de la France, passant de "Aa2" à "Aa3". “Nous prévoyons que les finances publiques de la France seront considérablement plus faibles au cours des trois prochaines années” explique Moody's, soulignant "la fragmentation politique" du pays. La sanction de l'agence de notation rejoint celle des deux autres grandes agences, Standard & Poor's (S&P) et Fitch. Elle intervient donc après la censure du gouvernement de Michel Barnier et du budget 2025, censé faire économiser 60 milliards d'euros à la France. Cette décision aggravera-t-elle la crise politique ?  Enfin, Xavier Mauduit évoque l'histoire de l'archipel mahorais, dévasté par le cyclone Chido, et Marjorie Adelson nous emmène aux Pays-Bas où il n'y aura plus de Miss désormais, après 35 ans de concours de beauté.  Enregistrement : 16 décembre 2024 - Présentation : Élisabeth Quin - Production : KM, ARTE Radio

La economía del sector privado de la zona euro continúa en contracción en diciembre aunque el final del año es un poquito más alentador de lo que se esperaba, según el índice PMI, que muestra que la actividad total se redujo por segundo mes consecutivo, señalando una nueva reducción de la actividad empresarial a finales de 2024. La nota positiva, el sector servicios que vuelve al territorio de crecimiento y muestra un ritmo de expansión notable. Moody's recorta la calificación crediticia de Francia a Aa3 desde Aa2, tres niveles por debajo de la calificación máxima. Francia ya ha sido rebajada a niveles equivalentes por las otras agencias de calificación Fitch y SP. Los inversores no han tardado en reaccionar.. el rendimiento del bono a 10 años sigue por encima del 3% y la prima de riesgo ha llegado a repuntar a los 81 puntos básicos. Este lunes el Parlamento alemán vota la moción de confianza del canciller Olaf Scholz, que espera perderla y así poder convocar elecciones en febrero.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news analysts are now starting to estimate the costs to the US economy of some upcoming tariff policy.But first, the S&P Global American services PMI rose in December to its strongest expansion since March 2022. But their manufacturing downturn deepened with manufacturers reporting falling output and higher prices. New factory orders fell sharply, extending the decline to a sixth consecutive month. The divergence makes the services sector jump look like a sugar-rush, one that could come with a hangover.The December factory survey in the New York region reflects the factory pullback - although that is from an unusually strong November.A New York Fed study of whether large tariff hikes protect US firms has found the opposite in a detailed survey. This is no surprise to economists, and they suggest that the next round is also likely to hurt American firms further. Further own-goals for American manufacturing are on their way. Others say it will shrink US GDP by -1%. That would be a US$300 bln hit.North of the border, Canadian housing starts came in particularly strong in November, and surprisingly so.And Canadian house prices are on an extended uptrend, boosted by more sales activity as interest rates come down there.But in a surprise political move in Canada, their Finance Minister has suddenly resigned, "throwing its economic agenda into a tailspin". Disagreement on how to frame Canada's policies when Trump comes to power in the US seems to be at the heart of the matter.Across the Pacific in Japan, their November PMIs revealed that their factory sector is now barely contracting (an improvement from October), and their services sector is now expanding faster. They had their strongest rise in private sector activity in the past three months. So perhaps it is no surprise to know that machinery orders are on the rise, after a lean period.China's new house prices in 70 cities shrank by -5.7% year-on-year in November, following the steepest decline in over nine years of 5.9% in the previous month. This marked the 17th consecutive month of decreases, suggesting that Beijing's extended attempts to mitigate the prolonged downturn in the property sector, such as reducing mortgage rates and slashing home buying costs, have yet to have the effect they are looking for. Prices for second-hand houses were even weaker.China's industrial production rose +5.4% in November from the same month a year ago, mildly exceeding market estimates and October's growth rate of +5.3%. The expansion was due to a good +6.0% rise in manufacturing. At the same time electricity production only rose +0.9% in the same basis, so that does undermine somewhat the validity of the industrial gains. And that low gain does match the 'headwinds' narrative they have been talking about. Their industrial production data seems to ignore that, and their weak PMIs. Something's not quite right.China's retail sales rose by +3.0% year-on-year in November, slowing from a +4.8% growth in the previous month and below market expectations of a +4.6% gain. This marked the weakest growth in retail activity since August. But compared with many other countries, this 'weak' expansion is better than inflation.The Indian PMI for December recorded an improving factory sector, and a services sector that is still expanding fast.India exports in November however fell to their lowest level since October 2022, down -5.2% from the same month a year ago. India is not much of a trading nation relative to the size of their economy, so the rise in economic activity is all about internal demand. However, imports surged +28% on that same year-on-year basis, and to an all-time record high.It might seem a tad ironic for a major oil producer, but Iran is proposing sweeping closures of public facilities, a move officials attribute to icy winter temperatures and the need for energy management while the country suffers massive shortages due to infrastructure failures. “Iran is on the brink of a 40% blackout in just 18 days,” said one local analyst.In Europe, Moody's unexpectedly downgraded France's credit rating from Aa2 to Aa3, citing concerns over deteriorating public finances amid political instability. For reference, Moody's rates New Zealand and Australia, each separately Aaa (although perhaps they will review ours after Thursday's GDP result).In Australia, financial system regulator ASIC is suing HSBC Australia alleging failures to adequately protect customers from scams.And AML regulator AUSTRAC is taking Entain to court over "serious" money laundering compliance breaches in its gambling/betting operations. Entain operates the TAB in New Zealand.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.40%, little-changed from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$2651/oz and up +US$4 from yesterday.Oil prices are down -50 USc to be just on US$70.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is down almost -US$1 to be just over US$73.50.The Kiwi dollar starts today still just on 57.8 USc and up +20 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 90.7 AUc. Against the euro we are also up +10 bps to 55 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.8 to be up +20 bps from yesterday at this time.The bitcoin price starts today at US$106,866 and up +3.7% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at +/- 2.2%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

C dans l'air du 27 avril 2024 - Grèves : face aux menaces... le retour du quoi qu'il en coûte ? Bercy peut souffler un grand coup. L'agence de notation Moody's a annoncé hier qu'elle ne dégradait pas la note souveraine française, "Aa2". Elle juge la perspective stable, et le risque de défaut très faible malgré la récente dégradation des finances publiques du pays. Pour l'exécutif, c'est le soulagement, d'autant que les élections européennes approchent à grand pas : "Cette décision doit nous inviter à redoubler de détermination pour rétablir nos finances publiques et tenir l'objectif fixé par le président de la république : être sous les 3% de déficit en 2027", a réagi le ministre de l'économie Bruno Le Maire. Pourtant ce résultat est inattendu : avec 5,5 % de déficit public en 2023 contre 4,9 espéré, l'économie française va mal. La France affiche même le troisième plus fort ratio de dette (110,6% du PIB) de l'UE après la Grèce et l'Italie. Et le déficit pourrait bien se creuser. À trois mois de l'ouverture des JO de Paris, médecins, policiers et gendarmes, ou encore conducteurs de la RATP, ont obtenu des primes. Le gouvernement a cédé à la pression des syndicats qui avaient déposé des préavis de grève pour la période des Jeux. Alors que Bercy tremble à chaque nouvelle notation, au Portugal, la sérénité est de mise. Le pays collectionne les A depuis quelques années chez Moody's, Fitch et tout récemment Standard & Poor's. Huit ans après l'intervention de la Troïka pour sauver le Portugal de la faillite, et un plan de sauvetage de 78 milliards d'euros, le pays n'a plus le même visage. Le taux de chômage est de 6,5%, la croissance de 2,3% sur l'année 2023 tandis que la dette publique a énormément diminué à 98,7% du PIB. Le pays profite énormément de son attractivité touristique, qui rapporte environ 15% du PIB. En 2023, le Portugal a accueilli 30 millions de touristes pour 25 milliards d'euros de recettes. Un tourisme effréné qui n'est pas sans conséquence sur le quotidien des Portugais. Ces dernières années, le prix des logements a explosé, et les habitants ont de plus en plus de mal à se loger. Le miracle économique portugais a donc sa part d'ombre. En France, certaines catégories de la population sont plus touchées que d'autres par la crise économique. C'est le cas des mères célibataires, mises en difficulté par l'inflation et l'absence de politique d'aide spécifique. Selon Libération, elles représentent 20% des dossiers de surendettement traités à la Banque de France en 2023 alors qu'elles ne représentent que 10% des ménages. Et quand elles sont payées au smic, elles sont deux fois plus exposées à la pauvreté monétaire que les autres salariés avec la même rémunération. Début avril, une proposition de loi transpartisane a été déposée à l'Assemblée nationale pour établir de nouveaux droits spécifiques pour les parents isolés et "lutter contre la précarité des familles monoparentales. Certaines de ses mesures devraient être examinées en mai. Les Jeux olympiques vont-ils aggraver la situation économiques de la France ? Doit-on redouter des grèves pendant la compétition ? Comment le Portugal a-t-il réussi à assainir ses finances publiques depuis la crise de 2011 ? Et pourquoi les mères célibataires subissent elles davantage la crise que les autres catégories de la population française ?

The effort… will center on adding more attention on wealthy, partnerships and other high earners that have seen sharp drops in audit rates for these taxpayer segments during the past decade. ” According to a new audit of the agency, as of just less than a year ago, 63 percent of new IRS audit inquiries were to middle-income earners who made less than $200,000. “Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million,” the Wall Street Journal editorial board reported last week. “Don't forget to save those charitable-giving receipts.” Source: thefederalist.com https://twitter.com/Fxhedgers/status/1778207339960738015 Bridge Collapse: Moody's Cuts Maryland Transportation Authority's Debt Outlook To Negative The fallout from the Port of Baltimore bridge collapse has sparked supply chain snarls and economic pains in the Maryland area, forcing Moody's Ratings to downgrade the outlook of the Maryland Transportation Authority's debt from "stable" to "negative" because of mounting "uncertainties around the Francis Scott Key Bridge's replacement project's costs, including their funding and timing." "Any negative impact from the replacement project would be on top of financial metrics that were expected to narrow from capital investments prior to the loss of the bridge," Cintia Nazima, a Moody's analyst, noted in a report initially mentioned by Bloomberg. Moody's maintained the Aa2 rating for the MTA's revenue bonds, linked to about $2.2 billion in outstanding debt. Nazima explained that this rating "reflects the essentiality of the authority's road network, the fundamental strength of the service area, and its history of strong financial and operational management and performance." The analyst said the 1.6-mile (2.6-kilometer) Key Bridge comprised about 7% of MTA's total revenue in 2023. They expect traffic to be rerouted on adjacent highways and tunnels, adding the MTA will likely recapture most of the lost toll revenue. The bridge was the primary land feeder into the Port of Baltimore. It connected the port to the I-95 highway network in the Mid-Alantic. Source: Bloomberg  For more than two weeks (since March 26), container ships, vehicle transport ships, bulk carriers, and other large commercial vessels have been diverted to other East Coast ports. Last week, the US Army Corps of Engineers provided a timeline for reopening the port, potentially at the end of May. However,

Central Africa's Gabon did what no other African sovereign has done this week when it completed a debt-for-nature swap which included the first ever blue bond from the African continent.But the deal did not come without its intricacies, as the sovereign got an insurance from the US Development Finance Corp, meaning that the usually Caa1/B- rated country was now selling Aa2 rated debt.It took a couple of attempts to get the deal right, after the sovereign postponed the deal last week because of rates volatility. We delve into what it took to get such a deal over the line.Meanwhile, the FIG market is going full guns blazing with multiple deals pricing this week. One of the standouts was an Additional Tier 1 trade from BNP Paribas in dollars, the first such deal in the currency since Credit Suisse sent shockwaves through the AT1 market on its collapse.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Samstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Erste Festnahmen nach Mord in Paris Nach dem tödlichen Messerangriff in Paris hat es erste Festnahmen im Umfeld des mutmaßlichen Täters gegeben. Aus französischen Justizkreisen verlautete, es handle sich um vier Familienmitglieder, darunter einen Minderjährigen. Ein Jugendlicher hatte seinem Geschichtslehrer auf offener Straße die Kehle durchgeschnitten. Anschließend wurde der Schüler von der Polizei erschossen. Der Lehrer soll im Unterricht zum Thema Meinungsfreiheit Mohammed-Karikaturen gezeigt haben. Präsident Emmanuel Macron zeigte sich beim Besuch des Tatorts geschockt und sprach von einem "islamistischen Terrorakt". Parlamentswahl in Neuseeland In Neuseeland ist ein neues Parlament gewählt worden. Premierministerin Jacinda Ardern und ihre linksgerichtete Labour-Partei haben gute Aussichten auf einen Sieg. Die Regierungschefin verwies in ihrem Wahlkampf besonders auf die Erfolge im Kampf gegen das Coronavirus: Bei rund fünf Millionen Einwohnern verzeichnete Neuseeland bisher nur 25 Todesfälle im Zusammenhang mit COVID-19. In Umfragen erreichte die 40-Jährige 55 Prozent Zustimmung und damit 32 Prozentpunkte mehr als ihre Gegnerin Judith Collins von der konservativen Nationalpartei. Gut die Hälfte der 3,5 Millionen Stimmberechtigten wählte per Briefwahl. Erneut Rekordanstieg der Corona-Fälle Die Zahl der neu registrierten Corona-Infektionen in Deutschland hat einen weiteren Höchstwert erreicht. Das Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) meldete einen Anstieg um 7830 Fälle innerhalb eines Tages. Damit haben sich in Deutschland bislang insgesamt 348.557 Menschen angesteckt. Nach Angaben des RKI stieg die Zahl der mit oder an Corona Gestorbenen um 33 auf jetzt 9767. Trotzdem wird die Kritik an den verschärften Corona-Regeln lauter. Die Einhaltung sei teilweise kaum kontrollierbar, hieß es vom deutschen Städte- und Gemeindebund. Mehr als stichprobenartige Kontrollen seien personell nicht möglich. Zweitägiger Gefangenenaustausch im Jemen beendet Im Jemen ist der Austausch von mehr als 1000 Kriegsgefangenen zwischen den Konfliktparteien erfolgreich abgelaufen. Nachdem am Donnerstag schon mehr als 700 ehemalige Häftlinge zurückkehren durften, brachten am Freitag zwei Maschinen 352 weitere Gefangene in die von der Regierung kontrollierte Stadt Aden und in das unter Rebellenherrschaft stehende Sanaa. Das Internationale Rote Kreuz sorgte dabei für einen auf die Minute genau getakteten Ablauf. Die Einigung war unter Vermittlung der Vereinten Nationen zustande gekommen. Nach Rebellenangaben ist ein weiterer Austausch bereits beschlossen. Mexikanischer Ex-Minister in den USA angeklagt Mexikos ehemaliger Verteidigungsminister Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda wird des bandenmäßigen Drogenschmuggels in die USA und der Geldwäsche bezichtigt. Das geht aus der jetzt bekannt gewordenen Anklageschrift an einem Gericht in New York hervor. Der 72-Jährige mit dem Spitznamen "Der Pate" soll während seiner Amtszeit gegen Bestechung das gewalttätige mexikanische Drogenkartell H-2 unterstützt haben. Cienfuegos war am Donnerstag in Los Angeles bei der Einreise in die USA festgenommen worden. Moody's stuft britische Kreditwürdigkeit herab Wegen des Brexit-Streits hat die Ratingagentur Moody's die Kreditwürdigkeit Großbritanniens gesenkt. Die Note werde von Aa2 auf Aa3 heruntergestuft, teilte Moody's mit. Als Begründung führte die Agentur an, dass Großbritanniens wirtschaftliche Stärke seit der letzten Herabstufung 2017 zurückgegangen sei. Das schwächere Wachstum werde verschlimmert durch die Entscheidung der Briten, die EU zu verlassen und ihre Unfähigkeit, einen Handelsvertrag zu schließen. Zugleich veränderte Moody's aber den Ausblick für Großbritannien von negativ auf stabil. Eine weitere Abwertung sei nicht zu erwarten.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news the prospects for a rebound in global growth aren't obvious to a global analyst.But first, today is an American public holiday, Martin Luther King Jr Day, and markets are closed there.The IMF said that the fall in global growth appears to have bottomed out but there is no rebound in sight. They cite risks ranging from trade tensions to climate shocks that they say makes the outlook uncertain.. They are recording that American GDP growth dropped -0.6% in 2019, and China's fell -0.5% all due to the trade wars. Of course the dollar fall was much larger for the US given it is a much larger economy. They see the American growth rate falling another -0.5% until 2021 and China's slipping another -0.3%. The only big improvers from here seem to be emerging market economies, and especially Mexico after a very weak 2019. Globally, 2020 won't see any significant 'rebound'. Neither New Zealand nor Australia rate a mention in this review.Overnight, European equity markets were all lower by about -0.3%, with the exception being Frankfurt which managed a +0.2% gain.Yesterday, Shanghai equities rose +0.7%, Tokyo rose +0.2% but Hong Kong tumbled by almost -0.9%.

Es ist ziemlich genau sechs Jahre her, als Olexesh sein Mixtape "Authentic Athletic" auf den Markt brachte. Damals war er grade frisch bei 385idéal gesigned und stand noch ganz am Anfang seiner Rapkarriere. Seit dem hat der Bratan einige Erfolge vorzuweisen. Alleine 2018 lieferte er mit seiner #1 Single "Magisch" einen der Sommerhits des Jahres. Gleichzeitig erreichte auch sein Album "Rolexesh" den ersten Platz der Deutschen Charts. Dieses Kunststück gelang vorher nur einem gewissen Cro im Jahr 2015. Nun erscheint also sein zweites Release in diesem Jahr. "Authentic Athletic 2" heißt es und ist der Nachfolger seines 2012er Debüts. Wie "AA2" klingt und ob Olexesh abgeliefert hat, wie sich die diversen Featuregäste auf dem Album schlagen und ob es an die bisherigen Erfolge anknüpfen kann, besprechen Niko, Kevin, Kira und Martin in einem neuen BACKSPIN-Podcast.
