Samsung suspends production of its new featured SmartPhone “Galaxy Note 7″.
The Korean Giant, No. 1 in the world of mobile phones, application even, this morning, of no more use and turn it off because the camera will fire all alone.
This is a terrible industrial accident to Samsung ?
Imagine, in the middle of the night, you sleep, and you are woken up by a smoke terrible. It is your mobile phone that catches fire, on your night table.
So, Stop, it stops everything. Samsung even asked this morning not to use it.
How did we get here ?
Samsung, this is the story of the Challenger who wants to become a leader.
Samsung is certainly no. 1 in volume, but in value, the star is Apple with its iPhone.
And in fact, Samsung has wanted to die for the pawn to Apple with its Galaxy Note 7, sold more than 800 euros/room and released just prior to Apple in September.
Except that the device was not the point. But, Samsung is a Korean group, with a vertical direction, authoritarian, or it is the big boss who decides where the accident.
is This a problem for Samsung ?
Not that much, besides, the action takes place rather well.
Because you have to be honest, it is, unfortunately, a great classic, the battery which heats up and catches fire. Nokia has experienced the same thing, Sony also. And even the manufacturers of electric cars, because these lithium-Ion battery, heat up tremendously and sometimes, it ignites.
Samsung has managed to identify the problem ?
Just not. Samsung is believed to have identified. But, even with the new replacement units, there are always problems.
Apparently, this would be the batteries manufactured in-house, in one of its subsidiaries that would be involved.
In all cases, this case illustrates the strategic importance of batteries, not only for mobile, but also for the electric car.
And in this respect, we can only desolate to see that Europeans are dramatically absent, since with rare exceptions (Bolloré or Saft), all the manufacturers of batteries are asian.
Sophie Weep, expert international
very little Is said about, of this dirty war waged by Saudi Arabia in Yemen, but it has been a bloody event this weekend.
On Saturday, a bombing raid on the capital, Sanaa, has led to a bloodbath with more than 140 deaths and 525 injuries, according to the Un. The attack, led by Saudi Arabia, has referred a reception was held a great funeral ceremony. This is one of the most deadly since the beginning of the intervention of saudi arabia in Yemen, 18 months ago.
Why is this war ?
At the beginning it is an internal problem in Yemen. You remember the arab spring in 2011 ? In Yemen, it happens rather in the quiet, with the agreed departure of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who had been in power for 32 years.
But a rebel movement, the Houthis, which have old claims to identity, political and economic challenges the project of a new Yemen. They do it by the weapons and gain a lot of ground in the country, up to take the capital. At the outset, it is, therefore, to restore the authority of the president official, Abd Rabo Mansour HADI, Saudi Arabia intervened militarily.
View the scale that has been achieved in this war (over 10,000 dead in a year and a half), it is not just a helping hand selfless between neighbors ?
Oh no. It is found in the clash classic, shiites against sunnis, who obviously takes on a regional dimension. The Houthis, the militiamen shiite fundamentally anti-american and anti-saudi, are being helped by the Iranians. As for the Saudis, they are at the head of a coalition of a dozen arab countries, sunni and they are assisted by the United States.
there has been peace talks, led by the united nations.
Yes, but so far all attempts have failed. And the bombing of this weekend is going to complicate things because he has killed a number of politicians and officers who were working for peace, and who were gathered for the funeral of the father of one of the ministers by the rebels.
And the first victims, as always, are the civilians.
Yes, more than half of those killed are civilians.

The True-False of the news with François Fillon, who did the accounts.
The former Prime minister, candidate in the primary of the right and centre, judge vital to decide on the size of the civil service. He wants the elimination of 500,000 government jobs over five years on the grounds that:
French prime minister François Fillon : “France can continue to borrow every day on the international markets to pay the salaries of civil servants ?”
France borrows all the days on the markets to pay its public servants, it is true or it is false ?
This is true, even if it remains difficult to quantify exactly what share of wages is paid by the debt. It is a fact, the State has not the means to pay all of its officials, the 2.5 million public officer of the State, simply because its expenditures exceed its revenues of $ 70 billion. However, staff costs accounted for 40% of its general budget, it is nine times the amount that it devotes to investment. The only theory which should be financed by the loan.
Balance sheet, it is true, all approximately 15 days, the French treasury agency borrows on the market to nearly 200 billion euros. The one hand to fill this gap, to finance the State and the remaining $ 125 billion, to pay off other loans coming due. The payment of interest on the debt costs him each year, more than $ 40 billion to France.
But the situation is not new, it’s been years that the French State lives on credit.
This is true. Exactly since 1973, the last year of earnings to the accounts of the State. Since then, the slippage accelerated and François Fillon has been the first to panic, in 2007 already, when he arrived at Matignon. His description of a failed State caused an uproar at the time, he, also, had to borrow money to pay salaries and the debt has risen from $ 800 billion more.
But since the banks lend, it is that France is solvent.
Without doubt, it is the safest country in the world historically. The only time France has not repaid a due date, it was in 1798. And in this moment, we cannot say that it is an incentive to make efforts, because the rates are so low that it borrows short-term at negative interest rates. So if the debt increases, it feels like less, but this is still dangerous, warns the court of auditors. Because if the rates went up even 1%, the burden of the debt would explode and the question is not whether this will happen, but when.
