The UK's recent disastrous "mini" Budget can trace its origins back to Britain's decision to leave the European Union. The economic costs of Brexit were masked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine. But six years after the UK voted to leave, the effect has become clear. In this film, senior FT writers and British businesspeople examine how Brexit hit the UK economy, the political conspiracy of silence, and why there has not yet been a convincing case for a 'Brexit dividend'.

West African architects are reviving ancient building methods that make it easier to stay cool as temperatures climb.

9 ans après avoir posé le pied au Mali, les soldats français l’ont quitté par la petite porte, chassés par une junte malienne qui s’est désormais alliée avec les Russes.

Le 15 août 2022, le dernier militaire français a déserté la base de Gao et a franchi la frontière d’avec le Niger. Une retraite sans trompettes, ni tambours, la tête basse. Une retraite qui ne peut vouloir dire qu’une chose : la France a perdu la guerre contre le terrorisme au Mali.

Notre pays est pourtant resté près d’une décennie via les opérations militaires Serval puis Barkhane. Elle y a perdu 59 soldats, et sur la fin y a englouti près d’un milliard d’euros d’argent public par an. Tout ce pognon de dingue et ces vies humaines pour un échec cuisant, pour que le Mali devienne notre Afghanistan.

Depuis 2013, l’hydre djihadiste n’a cessé d’étendre ses têtes, sans cesse coupées sans cesse repoussées, essaimant du nord du Mali vers le centre, puis vers les États voisins, le Niger, le Burkina-Faso, le Bénin, toujours plus proche de la côte, toujours plus loin dans l’horreur. Des attentats ont été commis jusqu’en Côte d’Ivoire, dans la station balnéaire de Grand-Bassam, à cinquante kilomètres à peine d’une base militaire française. Notre pays, qui se vantait de pouvoir « changer avec 500 hommes le cours de l’histoire », n’a pas été capable d’endiguer le péril terroriste avec plus de 5000 militaires déployés au Sahel.

C'était un génie, le nouveau JP Morgan, l'idole de la presse américaine et le second plus gros donateur du Parti Démocrate (Bon Sang ne saurait mentir); il pensait même racheter Goldman Sachs à ses heures perdues... Las, c'était en fait le Madoff de la cryptomonnaie, et comme avec Madoff, l'Autorité des Marchés Financiers US (la SEC) s'est démontrée sourde et aveugle à tous les signes précurseurs graves d'une arnaque imminente. Samuel Bankman Fried, fils de bonne famille ultra-connecté aura participé à un réseau opaque de blanchiment, d'arnaque et de corruption dans lequel des millions d'épargnants auront laissé un bras...

Mais n'oubliez pas, c'est sur Didier Raoult et sur Elon Musk qu'il faut braquer les meilleurs investigations de la presse 🤡

Mega-corporations like Amazon and Facebook are becoming more powerful. And their growth shows no signs of slowing down. They are in the public eye -- but are they also above the law?

The pandemic has only made the "big four” -- Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook -- more influential. Our data has become big business. But are these corporations out of control?

Experts have long watched as corporations like Apple and Amazon flout antitrust laws, while receiving special treatment: When it comes to wages, taxes and laws, these corporations seem to rewrite the rules as they go. Many critics consider Facebook and Google’s systematic data exploitation a violation of our core democratic principals. Moreover, the line between the state and mega-corporations is growing even foggier. Some states believe there is simply no way around these giants. Corporate power seems like it is here to stay.

Market driven surveillance undermines our sovereignty and thus the very foundation of Western democracies. There is a storm brewing both in the U.S. and Europe. But the corporations are ready for it. Will they continue on this dangerous trajectory, or is there some chance we can still rein them in?

Cashless payments are on the rise. They are fast, easy and convenient. Worldwide, cashless transactions have become the norm.

But Germany’s central bank and government are still clinging on to cash. Can they stop the move towards a cashless society? Our documentary shows who is behind the worldwide anti-cash lobby. Banks want to get rid of coins and bills for cost reasons, and politicians think less cash will cut the rug out from under criminals and terrorists. Central bankers want to abolish cash because it would make it easier for them to enforce negative interest rates. And digital payment companies like Paypal or Visa simply want to profit from money transactions and collect as much financial data about consumers as they can. Their aim is to gain complete control over our buying behavior. For example, the "Better than Cash Alliance" in New York is supported by financial corporations such as Visa or Mastercard. They say the more people that are integrated into the international financial system, the more growth and jobs it will promote. But as our financial behavior becomes more and more transparent, states are also using payment data to find out more about us. The ordinary citizen’s view of cash as a store of value, independent of third party interests, is being increasingly ignored. But for them, cash is and will remain a symbol of freedom.

Souvenez-vous, il y a un peu plus d’un an, en mai 2021, on se posait déjà la question de savoir ce qui pourrait bien rafraîchir l’immobilier français, alors en surchauffe.

A l’époque, boosté par la crise sanitaire, le moindre mètre carré échangé à Paris ou dans les grandes villes de province atteignait des niveaux jamais égalés, près de 15.000 euros pour la capitale, par exemple.

Une offre plus rare face à une demande dynamique, il n’en fallait pas plus pour encourager la hausse des prix et rien n’a pu calmer l’appétit dévorant des français pour la pierre, à tel point que la situation devenait problématique.

Les professionnels de l’immobilier qui espéraient une correction rapide regardaient une grande partie des candidats à l’accession, les petits profils essentiellement, abandonner leurs projets faute de revenus suffisants.

Chacun attendait que la courbe des prix de l’immobilier revienne se lier à la courbe de l’évolution du revenu disponible des ménages, dont elle s’écarte depuis l’explosion de la bulle Internet en 2000.

Après cette première crise majeure du nouveau siècle, l’immobilier est redevenu une valeur refuge par excellence, rentable et solide, résultat, les prix se sont envolés, multipliés par 1.7 en 20 ans, et pour Paris, c’est fois 2, en 10 ans.

Rien ne semblait pouvoir faire exploser cette gigantesque bulle, alimentée aussi par les capitaux du quoi qu’il en coûte pendant la pandémie, et stimulée par des crédits pas chers.

Et puis il y a eu l’inflation, qu’on disait transitoire, et qui s’est installée.

En Europe, c’est +10.7 % en moyenne en octobre dernier, et en France, on fait partie des bons élèves, avec une inflation maintenue, pour le moment artificiellement, à 6.2 %.

Le pouvoir d’achat régresse pendant que l’Europe se dirige vers la récession, alors les taux grimpent et les prêts immobiliers se font plus rares et plus chers.

Cette fois, tous les paramètres semblent ajustés pour mettre fin à la fièvre immobilière qui agite notre pays.

Aujourd’hui sur Money Radar, on reparle d’immobilier, et d’immobilier français, avec le sujet qui agite le plus les professionnels du secteur cet automne, et si vous aviez projeté de vous offrir votre prochaine résidence, vous êtes au bon endroit.

Les prix baissent, oui, mais combien de temps ça va durer, et quelle sera l’ampleur de cette baisse ?

L'eau en bouteille, un énorme marché longtemps dominé par des multinationales. Mais leur suprématie a été remise en cause par Cristaline, l'eau la moins chère du marché. Révélations sur le prix et la qualité de vos eaux en bouteille.

SPOTIFY: The Pirates Who Saved / Killed Music (The Illegal Rise of Spotify) --- Welcome to the INSANE story of Spotify. We look at how Spotify nearly failed before it even launched, how Spotify got locked in an ongoing battle with both record labels and artists, and finally how Spotify regained leverage by changing their business model. Now, Spotify is actually quite a powerful force in the music industry with a lot more control, which means there are several controversial issues for us to look at in the Spotify Story - including Spotify's history with fake streams, and its plans to become a central hub for podcasts.

Here on MagnatesMedia I bring you business stories. Today, we're looking at how Daniel Ek started Spotify, and what a huge impact Spotify has had. However if you enjoy this look into Spotify's history, check out some of the other business origin stories on MagnatesMedia!

FRONTLINE and The New York Times examine how the credit card industry became pervasive, lucrative, and politically powerful. (Aired 2004)

Millions of American families use their personal, general-purpose credit cards to make ends meet. With no federal laws on the amount of interest or fees that can be charged, credit cards have become the most profitable sector of the American banking industry.”] In “Secret History of the Credit Card,” correspondent Lowell Bergman uncovers the techniques used by the industry to earn record profits and get consumers to take on more debt. Some experts argue the profitability of credit cards began when the banking industry successfully eliminated a critical restriction: the limit on the interest rate a lender can charge a borrower. Deregulation, coupled with a revolution in technology enabled the almost real-time tracking of personal financial information and the emergence of nationwide banking, facilitated the widening availability of credit cards across the economic spectrum. But for some, the cost of credit is often far greater than it appears.

Global trade is a hot topic of the G7 summit in Canada. Is free trade truly free - and fair? What roles do US President Trump, economic powerhouse China, and the EU play in global trade?

When it comes to global trade, it would seem that trickery, threats and deception are the order of the day - yet all this takes place largely beyond the reach of the public eye. Donald Trump has made "America First” his agenda and rallying cry. Along with aiming sharp criticism at global export champion Germany, Trump has also introduced punitive tariffs and warned of further measures. Will this fresh wave of protectionism lead to economic isolationism and threaten global free trade? And what about those for whom free trade’s promise of prosperity increasingly rings hollow? Around the world, many people have come to regard themselves as the losers of globalization. If the true winners of free trade and globalization are not ordinary citizens, has the time come to revise the liberal orthodoxy of free trade? This documentary visits Germany, Switzerland, the United States and Cameroon to explore these issues by way of some everyday examples, including the trade in onions, floor tiles, and bicycles.

Switzerland boasts an extraordinary variety of landscapes and habitats, ranging from the Central Plateau to the high peaks of the Alps. Its abundant natural ecosystems like the Alps, wetlands and forests are in close proximity to urban centres and are a particular feature of the Swiss landscape. The country may be small but it is home to no fewer than 12 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The Swiss Alps are high, snow-covered mountains most of which are over 13,000 feet (4,000 meters). The most famous peak is the Matterhorn which is 14,692 feet (4,478 meters) tall, but the highest peak is Dufourspitze at 15,203 feet (4,634 meters).
Scientists are concerned that glaciers in the Swiss Alps have lost a lot of ice coverage in the past 40 years. This may be related to global climate change. Rapid melting of the glaciers could cause flooding to the villages below.
Most animals in Switzerland live in the mountains. The ibex, a species of mountain goat, was hunted to near extinction in the early 1800s. The species has since been reintroduced and more than 15,000 ibex now live in the Swiss Alps. Hikers may also encounter chamois, another goatlike animal, and marmots. The forests of Switzerland are also home to deer, rabbits, foxes, badgers, squirrels, and many bird species.
Switzerland has 6% of Europe's freshwater reserves. It is considered the 'water tower of Europe'. These reserves are fed by excess rainwater, spring water and run-off from snow and glacier melt. Groundwater provides 80% of drinking and process water, and 40% of tap water does not require treatment before it reaches consumers. Swiss households consume an average of 162 litres of water per day, per person. The water in most Swiss public fountains is safe to drink. Since the 1980s, total water consumption in Switzerland (including industry, trade and agriculture) has fallen by around 30%, even though the population has grown. Roughly 56% of the electricity generated in Switzerland comes from hydropower. Two thirds are produced in the mountain cantons of Uri, Graubünden, Ticino and Valais.
