The waltz of replacements on France 2, M6 banned in Algeria, "Dance with the stars" recruits from "Koh-Lanta" and Facebook threatens to leave Europe

The continuation and perhaps the end of the Pernaut soap opera.

Last Tuesday, Jean-Pierre Pernaut announced his departure from the "13 Hours" of TF1 next December.

Thursday, we learn that Marie-Sophie Lacarrau will succeed her and that she is therefore leaving the "13 Hours" of France 2.

Continuation of the story this Tuesday with the officialization of the name of his replacement and therefore of his future competitor.

On January 4, Julian Bugier will take the reins of the mid-day newspaper of the public channel, the same day as Marie-Sophie Lacarrau's first steps on TF1.

Julian Bugier has been joker on France 2 for nine years.

We ended up telling ourselves that he would always be a joker, but his time has finally come.

In 2011, Julian Bugier was on iTELE, since become CNews, when France 2 came looking for him to become the joker of David Pujadas and Laurent Delahousse, then of Anne-Sophie Lapix.

To keep him patient, the public channel had also entrusted him with a weekly magazine entitled "Tout compte fait" and the animation of talk shows during special evenings.

Given his promotion, not sure that he will have the time to continue to perform these roles, especially since Julian Bugier has also been at the helm of the 18-20 Europe 1 since returning to work. 

If Julian Bugier arrives in January, who will present the "13 Hours" of France 2 until then?

It will be Nathanaël de Rincquesen.

The channel has not yet communicated on this but on Friday, to take over at short notice from Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, France 2 called on him and he will remain in charge of the "13 Hours" until the end of the holidays. year.

Who will take Julian Bugier's place as the joker of the "20 Hours"?

As for the "13 Hours", Laurent Guimier, the new boss of the news of France 2, preferred internal promotion.

It is Karine Baste-Régis who takes over the post and who will replace Anne-Sophie Lapix as soon as she is absent.

Karine Baste-Régis was one of the faces of the franceinfo channel when it was launched in 2016, then joined the "Télématin" team in 2019, where she still provides newspapers.

She also recently made her first joker steps at the "13 Hours" of France 2, last June. 

What if Facebook left Europe?

The social network can ensure that it does not threaten to shut down in Europe, which is precisely what it did in response to a request from the Data Protection Commission of Ireland.

It all started last month, when this commission issued an executive order banning Facebook from exporting the data of its European users to the United States.

Ireland, where Facebook is based, fears that the American intelligence services could spy on European users of the social network.

To counter this decision, Facebook has filed a complaint and is challenging the legality of this decision.

In the documents, the social network does not beat around the bush.

"If the decision is upheld, we do not see how Facebook will be able to continue to offer its services or those of Instagram in the European Union."

It does look like a threat of closure!

A Facebook spokesperson assured that this was not the case at all, obviously.

And in reality, it is hard to imagine the social network closing its doors to more than 400 million users.

As often, it is a communication battle that begins, with a judicial counterpart.

Facebook did not hesitate to play the victim, accusing the Commission of not targeting any other social network, and pointing the finger at the president of this commission.

Facebook claims that this person is the sole decision-maker and suggests that it may be a witch hunt.

After the report of "Enquête exclusive", M6 is banned from operating in Algeria.

Last Sunday, M6 offered a new number of "Enquête exclusive" devoted to the popular revolt which has shaken Algeria for a year.

Bernard de la Villardière had come to talk to us about it in "Culture Médias".

We followed three young Algerians in this climate of tension: a YouTuber, a dancer and actress and a young man engaged in politics so that Algeria becomes an Islamic state.

But this report did not please the Algerian authorities at all.

On Monday, the Ministry of Communication said that M6 was now "banned from operating" in the country.

The channel is singled out for having used a false shooting authorization to box the report, for having used hidden cameras and for having distorted the testimonies of the three young Algerians.

In the end, the ministry denounces a report which deliberately tarnished the image of the country and which aimed to "crack the unwavering confidence between the Algerian people and their institutions".

For its part, M6 specifies that France 5 had already been the subject of criticism from the Algerian authorities last May for a documentary on the demonstrations, and recalls, as we had spoken about here, that Bernard de la Villardière demonstrated fifteen years ago. days in front of the Algerian Embassy in Paris to support journalist Khaled Drareni, sentenced for his coverage of protests in Algeria ...

A meeting between two heavyweights from TF1.

In the end, there will only be one left on the floor of “Dancing with the Stars”.

And this big winner will perhaps be one of the most popular candidates in the history of "Koh-Lanta".

According to "Télé Loisirs", Claude has indeed agreed to walk the track of the TF1 dance competition.

Claude participated in three editions of "Koh-Lanta" between 2010 and 2020, including the most recent, "Koh-Lanta: The island of heroes".

As you will remember, the confinement had significantly boosted audiences for TF1's adventure game, and millions of viewers had therefore discovered or rediscovered Claude.

However, it did not bring him luck: Claude scared his opponents and once again, he failed to win.

Normally, it is around this time that "Dancing with the Stars" starts every year.

Absolutely, but due to health restrictions, the 2020 edition has been postponed.

It is for the moment at the beginning of 2021 that Camille Combal should resume service at the helm of the eleventh season of the show.

TF1 therefore still has a little time to move forward with the casting.

Besides Claude, we already know that Vaimalama Chaves, Miss France 2019, will also be in the game.
