			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> As to give grist to G20 ministers meet farm late Friday morning in Cannes, the FAO food price index released yesterday registered a sharp decline after months of increases. It stood at 216 points in October, its lowest level in 11 months. &quot;Prices nevertheless remained generally higher than last year and remain very volatile,&quot; says to FAO, the UN Food and Agriculture. </p>
<p> The fight against price volatility in agricultural commodities is precisely the heart of the priorities that the ministers of agriculture have taken in June in Paris during the holding of a special agricultural G20. These will draw Friday a first assessment of this work.&quot;The challenge for leaders is to find ways to constrain the natural volatility of the courses without mask or minimize the aggravating factors which tend to look the part of financial markets,&quot; said Didier Rousseau, expert industry the agri-food consulting firm Weave <a href="http://paydayintime.com">Same day payday loans</a><!-- . -->. Volatility can be explained according to the expert by &quot;the increase in global food demand, the emergence of biofuels or the occurrence of weather-related disasters.&quot; </p>
<p> The five commitments that will be discussed and reviewed at the G20 agricultural Cannes </p>
<p> • Establishing information system on agricultural markets (AMIS). Hosted by the FAO global database that aims to improve transparency and information on agricultural markets of four major crops for food security (wheat, rice, corn, soy).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> On May 15 the &quot;outraged&quot; Spaniards camped in the square of Puerta del Sol in Madrid. Borrowing their name to the pamphlet by Stephen Hessel, they said they were inspired by the Arab Spring to shout their rebellion against the explosion of unemployment and austerity policies implemented by the government &#8230; Since then, the challenge has been extended in the rest of Europe but also overseas. Five months after the birth of the movement in Spain, in 82 countries is that these &quot;outraged&quot; will show this Saturday, October 15. Zurich to New York, to Rome, Tijuana, Hong Kong and Johannesburg, calls have been launched in 951 cities worldwide.</p>
<p> Their message to politicians and financial elites, as can be read on the site 15october, is: &quot;The powers that be working for the benefit of some ignoring both the will of the majority that the price human and environmental we pay. This intolerable situation has to stop. &quot;On the site of the movement Occupy Wall Street, the tone is the same:&quot; The thing we all have in common is that we are the 99% who will not tolerate any longer the greed and the corruption of the remaining 1%. &quot;In Italy, the program is summarized as follows: &quot;Occupation of public places by millions of people who do not want to pay the enormous economic and social crisis in the place of those who have caused: political power industrial, economic and financial&quot; . </p>
<p> No central authority
<p> This day of action is to cross an important milestone in the movement, which now acquires an international dimension. &quot;It was needed to make weight against the power of financial markets that operate on a global scale,&quot; says Sophie Banasiak, &quot;indignant&quot; Paris. </p>
<p> However, there is no central body to coordinate the different actions. &quot;If the collective Democracia Real Ya played a leading role in the initial mobilization in Spain, he does not prevail, either in the capital of the country or world, Heloise said Nez, a sociologist at the University Paris 13.Many groups are working together, but none have hegemony over the movement horizontal and egalitarian aims. There is no visible head and outraged caregivers to regularly change the voice <a href="http://pay-day-loan-s.com">online pay day loans</a><!-- . -->. &quot; </p>
<p> &quot;If someone asks you &#39;who is behind it&#39;, they reply: &#39;I&#39;&quot; retorted on those who seek the organizers. The spread of a city or country to another must be spontaneous, for emulation. A process greatly facilitated by social networks, where multiple keywords are emerging, such as &quot;yeswecamp&quot;, &quot;# yosoy15O&quot;, &quot;# event15oct&quot; or &quot;# Globalrevolution&quot; &#8230; &quot;I do not even know exactly who launched the idea of ​​the October 15, recognizes Spyros, OccupyLSX supporter of the movement in London.We have seen that call for Saturday and it was inspired by the movement Occupy wall street to do the same thing here. &quot; </p>
<p> Specific demands of each country
<p> If dissatisfied with the world found common denominators, claims and complaints are divided again according to national issues. In Spain, Real Democracia Ya accent has been on the reform of the electoral law to end the two-party system as well as stopping the evictions of indebted owners. In Anglo-Saxon countries, it is mainly finance, pointed as responsible for the crisis, which is targeted. Witness the names of the movements that develop, &quot;Occupy Wall Street&quot; and &quot;Occupy London Stock Exchange (OccupyLSX).&quot; In Israel, the mobilization is the expensive housing while in Italy, the outraged refuse to pay &quot;a debt they have incurred.&quot;But all these central issues do not prevent each protester to express other concerns. In Spain some point impunity surrounding crimes of Francoism and the United States is denounced police brutality or the death penalty &#8230; </p>
<p> Above all, each city retains its autonomy: information flows globally, but &quot;decisions, they, are taken at meetings in every city, Banasiak said Sophie. Each city chooses its own way of decision. In Paris and Madrid for example, is the consensus. The international dimension does not change the fact that the essence of the movement is local: it is in the physical encounter and dialogue in the streets. &quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> After one was missed, France Televisions has returned an offensive with hundreds of new programs. Taking risks assumed by Rémy Pflimlin, the CEO of the past year. It provides time to install new brands and develop its digital strategy. </p>
<p> The FIGARO. &#8211; What are your ambitions in terms of audiences for the group? </p>
<p> Remy PFLIMLIN. &#8211; The introduction of DTT has weakened the historic three channels and we have two. But France Television is not only judged on the hearings, as specified in the law. However, we must be the first French broadcasting group with our channel France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5 and France Ô. All must remain above the 30% audience share.</p>
<p> How do you explain the hearings erratic France 2? </p>
<p> For economic reasons, summer programs in France two were very different from those of the season. We have spent reruns and a program, &quot;Five tourists&quot; who have gone wrong. We dropped during the day and have paid cash. But with the return, the big appointment with Sophie Davant, Laurent and Stephane Bern Ruquier back. </p>
<p> France Televisions will invest 420 million euros in creation. Where do you get the money? </p>
<p> This amount represents an increase of twenty million euros a year. This is affordable in a cost grid for all channels 2 billion. To finance it, we will make arbitration on purchases and program flow. </p>
<p> You run one hundred new programs.Is it ambitious? </p>
<p> We offer 50 new programs on our five channels and 50 new regional programs of France 3. It is necessary to take risks because we absolutely need to innovate to install in the new period of strong brands as are a French village and more beautiful life. </p>
<p> Where&#39;s the advertising revenue? </p>
<p> We have budgeted 425 million euros in advertising revenue for the year 2011 against 440 million last year. In late August, we are still OK and I think we will hold the budget for the year. </p>
<p> You signed a contract with the State and sustain the revenue for five years. All can be challenged after the presidential elections? </p>
<p> We signed a contract objectives and resources with state ownership for five years on the basis of the strategic plan that we presented.For five years, the resources paid by the state are sustained and grow by 2 <a href="http://instant-payday-loan-service.com">no teletrack payday loan</a><!-- . -->.2% per year. In addition, our commercial revenues, advertising and diversification, we will be acquired. France Televisions thus acquires the necessary stability to build the company unique and long-term work with the world of creation. The company, the creators, the State and Parliament have an interest in maintaining that stability. </p>
<p> What is the social aspect? </p>
<p> We should sign in the coming days a collective agreement with the 2520 group of journalists and then we will negotiate the provisions concerning the technical and administrative staff, which represents 7,900 people. Over time, wages, hours and qualifications will be harmonized. This will have a cost but an investment that will pay off in productivity and simplified structure.In terms of attrition, which runs until 2012 and on 900 stations, we should see 550 starts, some of which permit and enable the recruitment of new skills including digital. </p>
<p> That represent the digital in five years? </p>
<p> The digital will be involved in the group. We will develop an information platform in November and another sports in spring 2012. Our role is to be an editor own content (information, drama, sport, culture &#8230;) that will become a commodity that we will provide all the screens. With the spread of television connected, it will be essential to have strong brands belong to us. Thus, we will not be dependent on American series to be broadcast directly by U.S. companies.</p>
<p> What is your position on the chains bonus? </p>
<p> On principle, I support the diversity of supply. On the economic front, although this is less about France Televisions, I note that many players call for a pause to allow to &quot;digest&quot; the introduction of DTT. With regard to the broadcast standard DVBT2, I have no principled position. But it is certainly worth, at this pivotal time, to ask any questions. For there is the issue of bonus channels, there are new channels announced, there is also the arrival of HD channels available. All this requires a resource that is often valuable, and called a real strategic choice. I look forward to the report of Michel Boyon. </p>

The Renault was down 1.4% to 27,116 cars, despite the rise of the Renault brand (4.8%), due to the fall of its inexpensive Dacia vehicles (-22%). At the Paris Bourse, the new goes wrong with investors. Title Peugeot unscrewed from 3.73% to 20.53 euros by 10:50, in a market down by 1.10%.The action leaves Renault at the same time 2.88% to 27.52 euros. </p>

<p> BMW saw its registrations increase by 29.5%, while rising by 18.7% Hyundai, Mercedes 17.8% and 15.2% of Volkswagen. Fiat, however, is always the trouble with registrations down 21.5%. </p>
<p> Difficult recovery
<p> To observers, this underperformance against French manufacturers is a surprise. &quot;We were pretty confident and we did not think the market would collapse in August,&quot; said Francois Roudier, spokesman for the CCFA.&quot;But you still have to be careful because August is a very small volume in terms of months,&quot; he added. According to him, the market will &quot;gradually reduce&quot; to the end of the year, due to the effect of the removal of the scrapping took place in late 2010. </p>
<p> Since January, the car market grew by hexagonal only 0.4%. French sales of the first eight months of the year are down 4.4% while foreign groups are gaining 7.7%. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Washington, our correspondent </p>
<p> Dominique Strauss-Kahn said goodbye as expected Monday afternoon in Washington with his colleagues in the IMF. Refusing to say more, the spokesman confirmed that DSK was also &quot;briefly&quot; met with Christine Lagarde before. It was &quot;private meetings&quot; held at the request of DSK and that the press was not invited. </p>
<p> The IMF staff was asked to say &quot;goodbye&quot; in a room usually devoted to the headquarters press conferences. Tea and coffee were served. Dominique Strauss-Kahn is mounted on the platform to speak for ten minutes. He wanted not only to greet his colleagues, but he also apologized twice &quot;for the harm done&quot; to the institution. </p>
<p> A lot of people to greet him was in a hurry. &quot;Several hundred&quot; witnesses said. &quot;He was applauded.The atmosphere was warm, &quot;commented one frame. Many, especially women, especially African, wanted to be photographed with him. </p>
<p> DSK told his audience of the importance of imagination in the IMF mission. He also said that if their recommendations had been followed eight months ago, Europe would not be where it is today. </p>
<p> A popular leader
<p> The ousted boss of the IMF gave no indication of its political intentions or professional on his return to France. He however praised the speech made Saturday by Christine Lagarde warned that the G20 leaders risk of relapse into recession and the need to practice in the short term even the stimulus spending <a href="http://easy-quick-payday-loans.com">quick cash</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> The former CEO had arrived with his wife Anne Sinclair to 3:30 p.m. at the wheel of his Audi.He chose to enter quietly through the underground garage and left the same way. </p>
<p> Dominique Strauss-Kahn was popular with staff. He recognized great qualities to have changed the image and practices of the IMF during the financial crisis. The institution is now much more visible in debates on the reforms to be implemented to combat the crisis. It is emerging as a kind of secretarial and &quot;think tank&quot; of the G20, while providing enormous resources urgently to stabilize countries in crisis. </p>
<p> Critics of economic policies made by the IMF are more biting than in the past. The contribution of funds to support plans to indebted countries in the euro area is crucial, both in terms of funding and conditionality. Provided the results of these plans are not yet up to the expectations.And recommendations to the rich countries do not seem to be better monitored than before. </p>
<p> Employees recognize the IMF provided that their favorite patron has made huge mistakes personal trial and that the abandonment of criminal proceedings against him can not be the &quot;whitening&quot; or erase their mistakes. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Money does not replace the sun. Companies still have made the bet offer insurance against bad weather, which compensates tourists disappointed by the weather. The concept was born three years ago and now sold by some tour operators &#8211; Pierre &amp; Vacances, Maeva, Marmara or campsites Sunêlia has unsurprisingly met with greater success this year, boosted by the greyness of July. </p>
<p> &quot;It has exceeded 20,000 subscribers in July 31. It&#39;s more than double last year, &quot;says one at Aon, which launched the concept. The insurer does not expect to have to make as many checks: among the 200 French destinations covered by these offers, 50 have now opened right to compensation, according to data Metnext, a subsidiary of Météo France. </p>
<p> In previous years, about 5% of subscribers had received a refund due to bad weather.This year, this share has already increased by 20%, excluding the month of August, which promises but under better auspices. Tourists who spent their holidays on the Atlantic coast, especially in the northern half of France, will be the first question <a href="http://us-no-fax-payday-loans.com">online payday loans</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> Two hours of sunshine per day
<p> All however, are not reimbursed the same amount, or under the same conditions. It depends on the tour operator with which the offer was contracted. If insurance is included in the delivery Sunelia home, it costs 12 euros extra in Marmara, and 69 euros at Pierre &amp; Vacances, who included it in his pack &quot;casualty&quot;. </p>
<p> For example, Marmara guarantees four days of sunshine a week of seven days, or reverse 300 euros to its customers. A little less generous, Pierre &amp; Vacances is no guarantee that three days of sun, otherwise 150 Euros will be paid to unlucky.A &quot;sunny day&quot; is one day with at least &quot;two hours of hot sun and cloudless&quot; between ten and eighteen hours. </p>
<p> Weather assuming a more capricious, insurers have much increase in the future their number of subscribers. The year 2011, no sun, they will have made good publicity. </p>
