Nokia unbeatable? The group may well see its market share erode quarter after quarter, it nevertheless remains the world leader in its sector. A position he owes much of its sales of cheap phones in emerging markets. Thus, in the third quarter, the Finns no longer had "only" 23.8% of the world with just over 105 million mobile phones sold worldwide. Good performance for a brand "dying" in the eyes of observers sometimes a little harsh with the former star of mobile telephony.

To retain his title, the Finn will still fight hard. He also put a lot on its Windows Phone, the range Lumia, marketed since November 14 in six countries including France fast cash without a hassle.

She says Windows Phone should benefit from new smartphones from Nokia. The Finn is expected to expand its range and offer new Windows Phone cheaper. It will still wait until the second half of 2012 to attend a turnaround, and it provided that Microsoft manages to attract enough developers to make its ecosystem attractive to consumers. For now, it has only 35,000 applications. One-tenth of what is available for Android.

This consolidates its international stature when some surveys point out that the French consider that Francois Hollande might as well as the current host of the Elysee in international summits.

Of course, despite the best efforts of Sarkozy, Europe is found in Cannes in the position of poor student he wanted to avoid at all costs. But somehow, he still hopes to appear as the last dam before the flood of French turf. "What will tell the left Mélenchon Montebourg and Greek on the referendum? Will they hoped that the Greeks reject the agreement? "Asks one who sees Sarkozy already torn the left of the line to take.

A long-term

Meanwhile, the French president chose not to play saviors of the world. That humility prevails.

In the first five days of strike by cabin crew of Air France, the company is organized to provide as promised 80% of its flights. The company has temporarily restricted on Saturday morning to 100 passengers filling its medium-haul flights Orly. Therefore, passengers can wait a little and minor delays can be saved.

This management method was chosen to avoid having to put down passengers for lack of a sufficient number of hostesses and stewards. "It blocks the flights a minimum. Is completed according to the presentation of the crews as and when. But we have managed so far to complete the flight and make them go as planned, "says the director of Air France at Orly, George Daher. A strategy that annoys some customers. "We were placed on a waiting list by explaining that there was not enough staff.Air France admits that "considerable uncertainty remains about the level of participation of the cabin crew saving account pay day loan." These are not actually required to prevent the direction of their intentions.

In 2007, a similar strike – triggered by the same six unions to the same period of All Saints – had caused major disruptions. Air France was forced several times to review downward its traffic forecast: 90% of flights expected to be provided the day before, this had increased to 60% during the weekend. "Delays and cancellations hot, that is to say, the day of departure are to be expected," has already warned Air France.

Modified or exchanged for free tickets

The company calls the passengers concerned to check before leaving for the airport, on the website of the company, the list of flights canceled or delayed.

This morning, the Superior Audiovisual Council (CSA) summoned the three news channels continuously BFM TV, iTV and LCI for a wake-up call muscular. The subject? These chains have gone far beyond the time allowed the Socialist Party (PS) during the primaries. The rule of speaking time issued by the CSA requires TV stations to give the parliamentary opposition (PS), a talk time of 50% that of the majority bloc. Settlement takes place on three months of information for newspapers and magazines for six months of information.

However, the CSA noted that the period from 1 July to 30 September, the news channel did not respect this balance on newspapers for information."ITV has given the opposition parliamentary speaking time 146% higher than that of the majority, BFMTV gave 142% and 130% LCI! Unheard of at this level "protests Christine Kelly, a member of the CSA in charge of the case. "The time allowed to PS was significantly exceeded" acknowledges CEO Guillaume Dubois BFMTV. "We have given priority to the information. Now the case has raised the antenna DSK in July and August, the Senate elections and primaries PS mobilized in September. We invited representatives of the majority but they decided to be discreet "defends Guillaume Dubois. "It's not the fault of having warned" Christine Kelly replies "I have met for the first time in July and I have warned against a possible slip of the Senate and the primary"

Tomorrow morning, the CSA will meet in plenary session.Constable Audiovisual could decide on a formal channels of information. "It's a yellow card. But if they start, then the CSA will release a red card and take sanctions "warns Christine Kelly

However, the CSA notes that most other television and radio all have fully complied with the instructions. On the side of France Televisions, which also broadcast the primaries in two news magazines, the balance was followed. Information for newspapers, counters ended September 30 show that the parliamentary opposition bloc has 51% of speaking time points Thierry Thuillier, the Director of Information of France Televisions.The new review period from 1 October to 31 December, France Televisions ensure balance time for the presidential majority, including calling Francois Fillon to 20 hours of JT France 2 tonight.

For news magazines, France Televisions has until Dec. 31 to offset the 4:45 discussion devoted to the primaries. Already Alain Juppe had been invited for two hours in the program "The words and actions" on September 30. Tonight, the program "Crossword" lasting 80 minutes will receive a majority of three personalities: Lionel Luca, Chantal Jouanno and Herve Morin. Finally, France Television is negotiating for an intervention of Nicolas Sarkozy on October 24.In this case, if the head of state talking about the crisis of the euro or Greek debt, his time is not counted, however if he talks about domestic policy, then the speaking time will be taken into account.

"I need six months," stated January 6 Roselyne Bachelot, the Minister of Solidarity, in order to find explanations for the slow ramp-up of RSA Young. The replacement income (RSA base) or complementary (RSA activity), created by Martin Hirsch at the request of Nicolas Sarkozy, had been extended four months earlier to 18-25 years for help and empower those who work out of poverty. Without much success.

Only 5,000 young people benefited from the end of 2010 RSA. Less than a third of the number of recipients while working. Ten months after the declaration of the Minister, the objectives are still not met and no corrective action was unveiled.

According to the latest scores (end June) and Le Figaro has procured, 10,200 youth aged 18 to 25 years are now affecting the RSA Young.An increase of 100% of beneficiaries in a little over a semester, but a figure still well below the initial target of 160,000 to 200,000 posted in September 2009. In 80% of cases, the RSA is nothing but a supplement to earned income which grew by an average of 130 euros per month.

Roselyne Bachelot took his time

"It was the objective of the measure, objecting a ministerial adviser: providing additional income to young people active." And not, as had been hammered in September 2010 Marc-Philippe Daubresse, then in charge of its implementation up to the government to "create an assistantship grant for youth."Less than a year after the extension of the RSA to 18-25 years, only 2000 young people (who worked two years in the last three and no longer receiving unemployment benefits) affect, in fact, just the RSA base, income Replacement of just over 460 euros per month.

As for Roselyne Bachelot, his silence is easily explained according to his entourage. Given the complexity of the case, the Minister of Solidarity decided to give some time to analyze the reasons for the low rise of the device. "The subject is by no means abandoned, we are assured Avenue de Segur. We begin to have a little more back and we will soon make announcements to that effect. "

According to reports, corrective measures will be announced before the end of the year, with six months behind the original schedule, most likely during the Review Conference of the RSA to be held December 15."Fill a folder is a gas plant for a young struggling to meet all the necessary documents," and advocates a relative of the minister should propose a simplification of administrative procedures. It is not excluded that the conditions for entry into the device, from the outset considered too restrictive by Martin Hirsch, should be reduced to allow more young people to benefit.

After a session with no major issues on Wall Street, marked by a slight decline of 0.30% S & P500 at 1203.66 points, and an increase of 0.60% of Nasdaq, at 2620.24 points, the equity markets Americans are again expected to rise for the last weekly session. Going against the Asian markets but in the wake of the Paris market, futures contracts on the S & P 500 and the Nasdaq advancing to 13.15 0.88% and 0.83% to 1208.40 and 2345.25 points.

However, this increase could be fragile. Investors may be tempted to take some of their gains after an increase in the Dow Jones 7.7% since the start of the week. Despite disappointing indicators in China (record deficit and a slowdown in trade surplus), U.S. carriers have in fact largely welcomed the progress of the week on the back of the Greek debt.

Uncertainties before the preparatory meeting of the G20

Once again, they will therefore be watching much of the session on the other side of the Atlantic, in Paris, which starts tonight and tomorrow until Saturday the preparatory meeting of G20 finance for the Cannes summit of November 3 and 4. The day after the green light by the Slovak Parliament to strengthen the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF), European markets are waiting for concrete proposals to resolve the debt crisis in the eurozone. An expectation that the more salient, despite the slight relief seen this week on this subject, fears have resurfaced, with degradation that night by Standard & Poor's to the next level of the sovereign rating of Spain, "AA – "combined with a negative outlook.The rating agency's estimation likely further deterioration of the Spanish financial system.

These bad signals sent by the rating agencies do not, however, hinder the progress of the euro, which was up slightly against the dollar on hopes of crisis. Friday at 11:40, the euro was worth 1.3802 dollars against 1.3783 on Thursday.

The bank also threatened

In this global context, and in the wake of disappointing results yesterday from JP Morgan, the banking sector could remain under pressure. The exposure of banks to various debts of European countries and the possible need for recapitalization will remain a key concern payday advance low fees. If the biggest fears concern European banks, the U.S. financial KBW index was down over 22% since July 21.Placing under supervision yesterday by Fitch of three French banks (BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole and Societe Generale) should not lead a turnaround. Especially since the U.S. rating agency included four other international banks in its radar, and also degraded the Swiss UBS note one notch to "A".

Unilever. The Anglo-Dutch food and cosmetics in Russia is growing by acquiring 82% stake in the Russian Kalina, for 390 million euros.

Globalization has a bad press these days. While the debt crisis has taken over from the 2008 financial crisis, many cities and regions rely on the relocation of the economy. They have to do this, decided to do without the euro by inventing their own currency. Latest initiative, that of Filettino, Italy, beating since late August, "Fiorito".

This small town of 598 inhabitants located in the province of Frosinone in the center of the country declared independence in protest against the government's austerity plan which provides for the pooling of budgets of small towns under 1000 inhabitants. The new "Principality" issued 20,000 tickets to the effigy of the Mayor and has already set an exchange rate against the euro if it would carry out its threat of secession. The "Fiorito" would then 0.50 euro.

The idea of ​​an alternative currency to the euro or the dollar is not new. By 2003, Prien am Chiemsee, a common German Bavaria, has released the "Chiemgauer." Notes 1,2,5, 10, 20 and 50 Chiemgauers have the same value as the euro and can be used in a network of retailers and businesses that have joined the project. Today there are 617 members. The phenomenon has become so widespread in Germany there are about sixty local currencies.

Development "solidarity"

These alternative currencies have also landed in France. At the initiative of the Association for the living act, the Bee has appeared in the wallets of the people of Villeneuve-sur-Lot in the Lot-et-Garonne, in January 2010. In Toulouse, the Sol-Violette is intended as a "currency ethics", which aims to promote "economic solidarity".Finally, the South Ardeche has established its currency, the Firefly, in spring 2011 in order to "pave the way for a greener economy of the human being and its environment."

Hints "solidarity" that is found throughout Europe, the hour or the debt crisis is spreading cheap business cards. In Belgium, in the region of Hainaut, in Mons has launched the Ropi to "relocate the economy, preparing for post-growth, and put the citizen at the heart of the debates and decisions, including finance and monetary issues. " These concerns go far beyond European borders. In the United States in the region of the Berkshire (Massachusetts), associations were created in 2006 a parallel currency system, based on BerkShares. Today, more than 400 companies accept this money, and more than 2.7 million BerkShares are outstanding, redeemable at $ 1 against 0.95 BerkShares.

Closed circuit

Faced with the popularity of these alternative currencies, the euro and the dollar they have to be worried? In a report published in 2007, the Deutsche Bundesbank, the German Central Bank, was already wondering if they could compete with the euro. According to the institution, the local currency in circulation in Germany then weighed the equivalent of 200,000 euros and their impact on the economy was "negligible." Today, they account for 900,000 euros.

The Bank of France, meanwhile, said that the legal tender, as defined in the Monetary and Financial Code, is the fundamental principle of any form of payment. "Traders are obliged to accept notes and coins are legal tender with this." Conversely, the release of a parallel currency is not prohibited, but it must be under an agreement between the different users."This currency is not exchangeable and circulates in a closed circuit," says the institution. Despite the snowball effect, the euro has probably nothing to fear from local currencies doomed to remain confidential.
