donald trump is signaling what looks to be a tougher american policy toward china. trump broke protocol last week i speaking with the taiwanese resident and then took to twitter to challenge china's trade and military policies. hour, inng up this business, international investors make their move in the mexico oil rush, taking advantage of the privatization of the country's energy sector. .nd happy birthday to us "france 24" turns 10 years old today. more on that coming up. first, our top story, live from paris. genie: we will start in france with the political shakeup for the ruling socialists. the interior minister, bernard

cassidy, has -- bernard cazeneuve, has just been named prime minister. so the manuel valls can focus on running for president in the next election. that comes after francois hollande's shock announcement that he was not running for a second term. manuel valls' nomination is not a done deal. he will be one of eight candidates in next month's socialist primary. catherine norris-trent has more from the prime minister's office in paris. let's listen. cazenove isernard overas a set hand to take as prime minister. he has held a major role already and government. the interior ministry, presiding over national security, policing .atters, counterterrorism he has also been something of a troubleshooter for francois hollande throughout his

five-year term. he was relatively unknown before 2012. he was a spokesman, went on to european,inister for and he is seen as someone who will be able to carry the ship safely for the next five months until elections in france. he will be one of the shortest-serving french prime minister's in modern history. very unusual for a prime minister to have such a short term of five months, all of this under a president who has announced he will not be seeking a second term. many are asking what he will be able to achieve in his time, whether any meaningful policies will be pushed forward, whether there will be any movement or he will keep things warm for whoever comes next. genie: let's talk about manuel valls, the prime minister who stepped down. he is not a shoo-in for the

socialists by any means it he has to go up against seven other candidates in the socialist i'm very next month. what are his chances? catherine: manuel valls is facing an uphill climb now to try and win the socialist party's nomination. he is a very divisive figure in the ruling socialist party, seen very much toward the right edge of that party, a right-wing figure in the party. some of the things he has said in the past have really angered left-wing members of the socialist party. he is seen as pro-business. deep through a very controversial labor reform earlier this year. they were not able to be voted through. tool toa controversial force it through. there were big demonstrations on the streets surrounding those labor reforms. he also has set a lot of people back in the socialist party when

he is talking about french identity and secularism, on how people should integrate into society, perhaps talking about banning the burkini. he will have a real challenge to win over the left of the party and go on to win this primary. genie: that is catherine norris-trent. the jury is still out on whether it is by accident or by design, but u.s. president donald trump -- u.s. president-elect donald trump is signaling what seems to be a tougher american policy toward china. he broke the call last week i speaking with the taiwanese president, then took to twitter to challenge china's trade and military policies. to get more reaction from china and taiwan, let's bring in brian kosinski from beijing. what are people saying over there? ian: there is a measured

response. obviously there has been criticism. the chinese government has policy but the tweets also following it. at the same time, he does not know what they mean. beindicated they will not overreacting to that. on the other hand, the nationalist state newspaper, "the global times," sees a conspiracy to take advantage of china, to take a piece of meat out of china. on the other side, the leader of taiwan's top spokesman said the call was to congratulate him and to respect the u.s. election. in washington, people have been very surprised and have been unable to figure out what is going on. which is not that helped -- which is not helped by mixed messages. genie: what are people saying

about why don't jump has been making these moves, and are they worried that relations under president trump might be very different than they are now? brian: they could be very different. to understanding the meaning or intention behind any of donald trump's actions is really an art and not a science. it does seem this may be a rookie mistake and at least not unintentional, but it appears the call was arranged several weeks ago. so while it does not seem an attempt to fully change policy, it seems it was intentional and maybe they are trying to signal a difference there. there are no tensions at the moment, but it will be a rocky start to his administration and certainly -- genie: brian kosinski reporting from beijing. former u.s. vice president al

gore has long been a leading force in the fight against climate change, and on monday he sat down with president-elect donald trump, a man who once called climate change a hoax made up by the chinese. during the campaign, al gore warned that a trump residency would steer the world toward climate catastrophe. but coming out of the 90-minute meeting, gore called it "productive." very lengthyd a and productive session with the president-elect. it was a sincere search for areas of common ground. i had a meeting beforehand with ivanka trump. the bulk of the time was with president-elect donald trump. an extremely interesting conversation, and to be continued. i am just going to leave it at that. genie: that is al gore. the european commission brexit

negotiator says the deal on britain's brexit from the e.u. must be in place by october of next year. the talks may only take 18 months, not even the full two years. if britain triggers the two-your divorce process expected in march, an agreement would be needed by october of the following year to get through the european parliament in time for march 2019. the u.k. is still waiting for a decision from its supreme court on whether or not the brexit process first needs to be approved by parliament. there will be less than 18 months to negotiate. once again, that is short. by march 17, as per minister theresa may said that she would, it is safe to say that the negotiations could start a few weeks later, and an article 50

agreement be reached by october 18. genie: we have been talking about the rise of populism at nationalism across europe in recent months. a movement is out as symbolized in the u.k. with the brexit vote to leave the e.u. since that vote, there has been a rise in hate crimes in the u.k., more than 40% in one month alone following brexit. that, thecombat british government has put in a hate campaignanti- in called "better than isis." on trial, the first member of uganda's beautiful -- group chargedutal with crimes against humanity.

>> as a 10-year-old boy, dominic ongwen was abducted as a child. he was forced to fight against ugandan government. he took command of one of the rebel group's four brigades. 2005, he isnd thought to have led bloody campaigns that is thought to >>e butchered many people these young children are thrown into the fire. >> the survivors of the raids bear the scars of horrific attacks. dominic ongwen faces 70 counts of war crimes and crimes against

humanity, including committing andirecting acts of rape violence against -- >> is going to be a waste of time. you may say five words and only two are true, yet i have read and understood the charges. dominic ongwen's trial has sparked debate. leading to difficult questions about efforts to prosecute him. genie: let's come back to the french capital, where high levels of pollution have pushed paris to ban half of all cars driving today. metro trains and buses are free to keep people off the roads. but watch out if you are flying into or out of paris' charles de gaulle airport.

all traffic on the commute to between the airport and the city center has been stopped. a technical incident has put that out of action for the whole day. 10 years ago today on december out006, "france 24" sent its very first broadcast. we will celebrate that anniversary throughout the day with inside looks into our channel and how it works. if you have ever wondered what it takes to build a news bulletin, here is your chance for a sneak peek at the people and posts involved. >> good morning, it is 7:00 a.m. the hardest thing is definitely the early morning. sometimes it is at 5:00 a.m. not the easiest working hours. >> hi.

now we are going to -- over here. >> ok. >> ok? >> yes, we have pictures and -- they were waiting for the final results. >> we need to explain it to english-speaking viewers.

>> about francois fillon and the right-wing primaries -- both the spectators and the musicians are convicted criminals. gallery?to go to hello? everything set? >> yes. 1 -- 2, genie: it certainly takes a lot of people to get the news out to you around the world.

joining me on the set for my business desk is charles pellegrin. how long have you been here? charles: seven years. genie: brexit is high on the agenda. there was quite a splash made. saying that the u.k.'s negotiating posture was not conducive to a smooth and orderly brexit. he implied britain wanted to have its cake and eat it, too. many have all the benefits of the e.u. without the obligations. philip hammond stressed that it was in the interest of the e.u. to offer the u.k. the best possible deal when it comes to market access because most e.u. companies rely heavily on london for financial services. hammond did not exclude having to continue paying into the e.u. budget. dark of going into a negotiation, we are prepared to with ourny structure

european partners. that in the end, we will only do is important's interest. in terms of any future contributions to any particular organization, we would look at what is on our firm, look at the costs, and as anything, we would decide whether it is a good deal or now. how are the markets doing? charles: they are trading higher. there are fears of political instability after the italian referendum. and the london ftse is up by 01%. the paris cac up via half a percent. the dax is quite interesting because the german factory orders had a bounce in october, monthing by close to 5% on month. that far exceeds the half a percent increase expected. a big reason for this is the health of the u.s. economy and a

pickup in orders as well. mexico, whereo to there was a milestone in the country's oil industry profit is asian program. bhp billiton will be developing the oil field known as the tree on block, which can hold as much as 485 million barrels of oil. as josh explains, this is one of forns of contracts exploration or drilling. >> huge prices at auction, mexico's national oil reserves. up for sale with all the leading hydrocarbon companies bidding. >> the energy reform gave pemex authorization to associate with international companies that can provide it with capital and technology. these reforms were launched

two years ago in aiming to end the company's relying on its natural reserves. bp, chevron, and china's national oil company are set to gain a lot from the deal. but australian company bhp billiton hit the jackpot, winning the right to exploit the huge deposit. bhp will work alongside pemex, who retain 40% of total production. that could reach up to 120,000 barrels a day in total for investments of $11 billion. >> we have a lot of experience in exploration in deepwater, but not in production. so we are going to learn how to develop the production with bhp billiton. they are one of the first of these companies in the world. >> production at the trial deposit is due to begin in 2023.

it is expected this will give a dramatic boost to the oil industry. charles: let's take you through mother business stories. leaders of nine us -- through other business stories. leaders were -- this is part of the corruption probe of millions linked to went to -- korean president partner and hey bank,ly's third-largest much of th -- the no vote in the time referendum and the ensuing political instability will make it harder for them vendor to secure investment by the italian investment authority. the bank, settled with the bad debt, will most likely have to turn to state funds. mcdonald's is not giving up on mc mcafee brand -- on its

cafe brand, taken on rivals like starbucks and dunkin' donuts. mcdonald's is, trying to get on a cafe trend which has seen 10% growth in 2015. not quite sure i am ready to go to mcdonald's for my coffee. genie: i don't care where my coffee comes from. just give it to me. thank you, charles. it is now time for the "press review." florence villeminot is with us to take a look at what the papers are saying today. lots of focus in france right now about the newly named prime minister, bernard cazenove -- bernard kaz and -- flo: everyone expected francoise -- everyone expected that manuel valls would want to run for president. yesterday in a speech where he was saying he wants to run in

the left-wing primary, he admitted he had had some hard words in the past, and calls for misunderstanding from the left, but all that is in the past. now it is time for reconciliation. that is the word that came out of his speech. but not everyone is convinced by this new peaceful manuel valls, particularly in the left. become a newspaper say that he is the biggest divider within the left. he has only violated against his own party, beat it to a pulp or you can see they are not buying this new candidate. clearly they have not forgotten his past declarations. he wants talked about two irreconcilable left wings. genie: many analysts are saying that the divisions are so bad on the left with the socialists that it could bring it to a crushing defeat in next year past presidential election. flo: it is not just in france that the left is in trouble.

you can see that this paper is talking about a global phenomenon. social demography is at a critical juncture across the world. beaten byinton was donald trump in the u.s. you can see this cartoon here, depicting the left. -- you see mario renzi can see matteo renzi and hillary clinton on this fragile piece of ice floating in the middle east. these are the extreme animals to did as a public bear and a .ungry walrus here not a pretty picture for the left. genie: a lot of papers are focusing on the situation in eastern aleppo, with the syrian regime gaining ground in its offensive against the rebels. that's right, rebel groups who have vowed to fight until the last job of blood. you can see the headline. the rebels refused to leave east

aleppo with a photo of the destruction in eastern aleppo. there is a good cartoon in a paper based in london, where you can see one of these rebel fighters fighting against the shower of mortars, trying to hold up this canon here. this canon actually spells out "aleppo" in arabic. and the top caption, "he will fight until the last breath." genie: in iraq and most all, folks are caught in the crossfire as iraqi and kurdish forces are trying to recapture that city from islamic state. flo: the catholic paper focuses on the private -- on the plight of civilians paying a heavy price. thousands have been killed or wounded in the last two months inside mosul. it is an endless ballet of ambulances. there is an incredible cartoon today in the qatari paper, showing iraq depicted as a pipe

that is being passed from the former u.s. president, george bush. you can see it is in the hands of barack obama, the current president, handing it over to president-elect donald trump. it looks like a pipe, not a peace pipe, but more likely an opium pipe, already to get a hit off donald trump. genie: plans have been made for a phone call from the taiwanese president to donald trump. flo: many say that it broke decades old control. papers in taiwan are quite thrilled by the historic call. "this is a precedent that opens a direct line of communication with a taiwan that is very different from the chinese media." let's look at "china daily," much less thrilled. it says some lessons in

diplomacy would benefit trump. his inexperience and policy positions are worrying. a miss step as president would be more damaging than one as president-elect. more directly to washington, d.c., where a man was arrested after walking into a pizza restaurant, pulled out an assault rifle, and fired shots. flo: the washington post talking about this -- the man told authorities he went into this pizza restaurant looking to prevent internet conspiracy theory that the restaurant harbored juvenile sex slaves. this is all about fake news and the role that fake news has played in the presidential election. "the dailyarticle in beast" saying this episode served as a warning of the dangers of fake news and conspiracy theories. many americans take insane ideas of literally and seriously.

americans got a glimpse of what it will mean to have a conspiracy theorist in chief. that is what "the daily beast" says. what can we all look forward to next year? çhere is a great cartoon series.
