you are watching "france 24." let's look at today's headlines. more trouble for the vatican as two new books through oil on the fire of a growing financial scandal. the prime minister of romania resigns after massive protests rocked the streets in anger as a response to the nightclub fire that left more than 30 dead. leaders of china and taiwan are set to meet saturday for historic talks that will mark their first top-level meeting in over 60 years. it is time now for a look at the business news. for that we are going to go live to stephen carroll in dublin. what do you have for us today? another busy day on day two of the web summit, covering all sorts of different issues. we had an opening address on the to open things up

machine day, focusing on things like robotics. we have been hearing from the head of facebook in europe earlier as well, talking about where they will develop next. he said that they are working on a place to -- we have been hearing from the head of pinterest about his getting involved in making money out of pinterest. he was speaking to us earlier on , getting ready to roll out what they call promoted pens across the area. it is about the moneymaking aspect. how people make money from ideas is one of the focuses on what people are looking on out here, especially startup companies that are trying to impress people and show that they can make money at a minimum. another topic is cyber security. earlier on i spoke with mike from the security firm. of next navy seal, instead

-- let's take a listen to him. >> the main phone makers out not incentivized to make a secure phone. most of the revenue is off of e-work data. in order to get your data, they make sure they cannot block certain things. that translates into a huge enterprise, corporate, and personal security risk. so the platforms that were out there, whether the apple to samsung hd and blackberries, were not built to literally control all data leak in your funnel, just some data. when we created the black phone and gave fine-grained controls to the individual and the corporation, encrypted voice video, file transfer, where there is not a server in the middle -- it is literally me to you, device to device, employee to employee. a geneva-based company was by

part ofot wanting to be america or eurasia because of political issues. i believe it is well over 120 countries buy black phone, whether it is the government or the enterprises that by it, and individuals from 165 countries per day. stephen: do we all need to have a black phone? >> absolutely. i have a four-year-old daughter. she does not care about privacy per se as i do about my age. as long as the phone does what it can normally do -- you do not have to be a cryptographer or a security walk to operated pew -- onk to operated. if you are a salesperson or legal or hr, you are not a tech person. a company wants the phone to protect them, yet they can still use google maps, go on to google play, and play their music.

that is really their innovation. previous that, you have to have somewhat of a security background or the knowledge to understand how you go in and make settings. black phone, it just doesn't. it looks, feels, -- black phone, it just does it. it looks, feels like blackberry. we cannot produce enough devices to meet the demand. stephen: that was mike jackie there. we were saying at the top of the to talkwe are hoping with ceo john skelley. it is a very busy place here. unfortunately, he did not make it appear that we are hoping to hear from him later on. he is speaking later on the issue of big data, another area that he has been involved in his tenure ship with apple since

1993. back to you, genie. is time to take a look at what the papers have been saying around the world. genie: florence villa minogue is with us today. thel a lot of focus on sinai peninsula that left people dead. you can imagine, a lot of mystery around what actually caused the crash. russian authorities say they are going to wait until the black box analysis results come in, but a lot of papers are reporting on this story that is essentially a story about how a u.s. infrared satellite actually detected a heat flash over egypt's sinai peninsula at the moment the plane went down. this article points out it isn't clear just what caused the

flash. it could have been due to a bomb on board or explosion due to a mechanical failure of the plane. genie: both russian and egyptian officials were quick to dismiss claims that the plane may have been shot down by the islamic state. flo: egyptian and russian authorities said that was propaganda but they have not ruled out a terrorist attack. this is an interesting analysis piece. there points out that egyptian and russian authorities are being very prudent, perhaps overly careful. an intelligence specialist says it is not in the interest of the state's involvement to be involved in a terrorist attack. egyptian is relying a lot on tourism, their population, and russian authorities for a different reason -- the article points out russian authorities want to avoid any kind of protest over russia's involvement in syria.

some good news for one spirit michelle payne has become the first female jockey ever to australia's horserace in his 155 year history. flo: it is the melbourne cup. she was only the fourth woman to ride in that race, and she is a national hero today. she is on the front page of every single australian paper. this is on the front page of "the age." it is a stunning victory for the 30-year-old and her horse, the prince of penzance. 101 odds --lly beat 100-1 odds in her victory. she essentially beat those odds and also the heat the racing boys club. that -- and she also beat the racing boys club -- that is what they're calling it. her reaction to winning, "it is a very chauvinistic sport.

women can do anything and we can beat the world. the herald has another australian paper, saying she did not just make history, she made her story. people outside australia are plotting her victory. there is an editorial dedicated to her victory. life is af her milestone in general. what is interesting is other equestrian sports are mixed, but racing is still a boys club. let her win, market turning of the tide. genie: a new passport design in the u.k. has provoked a bit of a rout. flo: it is called the creative united kingdom passport. it is designed to celebrate art and performance. it is a 34-page passport, including the portraits of several illustrious people, including the architect of giles

gilbert scott, the father of the red telephone box. william shakespeare. and twoe seven men women, and this has drawn a lot of criticism. there is the architect elizabeth scott and and a loveless. you can see this is elizabeth scott right here. and a loveless is another one. but she shares a page with a man. the independent comes back on this underrepresentation and how people are criticizing it. a labour mp is trying to campaign to get jane austen on the 10 pound note, and she started a twitter campaign to help the home office come up with a better list for the passport, including virginia woolf. flo: there are quite a few they could have put in there. let's focus on the vatican. tileaks card va
