Violences conjugales: 107 femmes tuées en 2024, en hausse de 11% en un an
En 2024, 107 femmes ont été tuées par leur conjoint ou ex-conjoint en France, un chiffre en hausse de 11% sur un an, selon les dernières données du ministère de l’Intérieur.Au total, 138 morts violentes au sein du couple ont été enregistrées par les forces de l’ordre l’an dernier, dont 31 hommes, selon l’étude nationale annuelle sur cette question, disponible sur le site du ministère et consultée vendredi par l’AFP.”En moyenne, un décès est enregistré tous les trois jours”, souligne le bilan annuel. En 2024, 403 tentatives d’homicides au sein du couple ont été par ailleurs recensées. Dans le détail, 90% des féminicides et homicides conjugaux ont été commis au domicile du couple de la victime ou de l’auteur, précise l’étude sur “les morts violentes au sein du couple” qui fait état de 49 usages d’arme blanche et de 34 usages d’arme à feu.Trente-et-un pour cent des faits étaient précédés d’une dispute et 16% s’inscrivaient dans le contexte d’une séparation non acceptée. “Le profil type de l’auteur reste majoritairement masculin, le plus souvent en couple, de nationalité française et n’exerçant pas ou plus d’activité professionnelle”, relève le ministère dans son étude. Il est “majoritairement âgé de 20 à 49 ans” avec “un pic particulièrement important des 70 ans et plus par rapport à 2023”.Concernant les victimes, 47% des femmes “avaient signalé ces violences antérieures aux forces de sécurité intérieure et, parmi elles, 81% avaient déposé une plainte antérieure”. Une victime bénéficiait d’un dispositif “téléphone grave danger”, deux victimes d’une ordonnance de protection et un auteur faisait l’objet d’un placement sous contrôle judiciaire, selon l’étude.
Nvidia to supply 260,000 cutting-edge chips to South Korea
US tech giant Nvidia said on Friday it will supply 260,000 of its most cutting-edge chips to South Korea, as CEO Jensen Huang met President Lee Jae Myung and the heads of the country’s biggest companies on the sidelines of the APEC summit. South Korea is home to two of the world’s leading memory chip makers — Samsung Electronics and SK hynix — which manufacture chips essential for artificial intelligence products and the data centres that the fast-evolving industry relies on.President Lee has also expressed his hope that the country can become the world’s third AI power after the United States and China.Speaking to media after the announcement, Huang said that goal was “ambitious”.But, he said, “there’s no reason why Korea cannot achieve it — you have the technology, you have the software expertise and you also have a natural ability to build manufacturing plants”.Nvidia has been caught in the middle of that geopolitical tussle.Its chips are currently not sold in China due to a combination of Beijing government bans, US national security concerns and ongoing trade tensions.Huang has urged the United States to allow the sale of US-made AI chips in China in order to ensure Silicon Valley companies remain a global powerhouse in providing artificial intelligence.”The US government and the Chinese government have to decide what role they would like Nvidia to play,” Huang told reporters on Friday. “I’ve been very clear that having Nvidia technology in China is in the best interest of the United States and in the best interest of China as well,” he said.”I’m optimistic,” he added.And asked if he wanted Nvidia’s most high-tech chip, the Blackwell, to be sold in China, he said: “I hope so”.”But that’s a decision for President Trump to make.”Nvidia’s chips featured in talks between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Gyeongju this week.Beijing has ramped up its chip industry to beat Washington’s export restrictions on the critical component used to power AI systems.- Chicken and chips -Under Friday’s deal, 50,000 of the graphics processing units will go towards a new “AI factory” being built by Samsung Electronics. “By deploying more than 50,000 Nvidia GPUs, AI will be embedded throughout Samsung’s entire manufacturing flow,” the Korean tech giant said.SK Group and Hyundai Motor Group will also receive 50,000 chips for use in AI facilities.NAVER Cloud — which operates South Korea’s largest search engine — will receive 60,000 to expand its AI infrastructure. A further 50,000 will be deployed across Seoul’s National AI Computing Center and to cloud service and IT providers.Huang has sought to forge closer ties with South Korean tech giants in his visit to the country this week.He met Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Eui-sun on Thursday for “chimaek” — a beloved South Korean pairing of fried chicken and beer — in the capital Seoul.The restaurant, Kkanbu, was reportedly chosen by Nvidia because the term — popularised by Netflix’s megahit “Squid Game” and meaning “friend” — was intended to highlight the spirit of friendship underpinning their AI and chip collaborations.Nvidia in July became the first company to top $4 trillion in market capitalisation, and followed that up by becoming the first to hit $5 trillion following an event on Tuesday where it announced new ventures building on its AI technology.

Real Madrid: l’affaire Vinicius est “close”, pas de sanction (entraîneur)
L’entraîneur du Real Madrid Xabi Alonso a assuré vendredi que la polémique autour de la crise de nerfs de Vinicius Junior lors du Clasico face au Barça dimanche était “close” et que l’attaquant brésilien ne serait pas sanctionné.Remplacé par son compatriote Rodrygo à la 72e minute de jeu lors du Clasico remporté 2-1 par le Real, l’ailier gauche madrilène s’était emporté, avant de s’excuser mercredi.”Moi? Mister? Encore moi? Va te faire… ! C’est toujours moi! Je quitte l’équipe, c’est trop, c’est mieux que je m’en aille!”, avait-il pesté devant les caméras du monde entier, en rentrant directement aux vestiaires sans saluer son coach Xabi Alonso.Dans un message publié sur son compte X, Vinicius Junior avait presenté ses excuses “à tous les madrilènes”, expliquant que sa passion finissait parfois par l’emporter.L’entraîneur merengue, interrogé à plusieurs reprises vendredi en conférence de presse sur cette polémique qui a enflammé les médias espagnols, a estimé qu’elle était “close” depuis la prise de parole du joueur.”Mercredi dernier nous avons eu une réunion avec tout le staff, les joueurs, et Vinicius a tenu un discours irréprochable, il a parlé avec sincérité, du fond du coeur. Pour moi, cette affaire est close depuis mercredi”, a-t-il déclaré, assurant qu’il n’y aurait aucune “représaille” ou sanction disciplinaire à l’encontre de l’attaquant brésilien.Le technicien basque s’est dit “très satisfait” de la réaction “courageuse” de son N.7, qui ne semble pas accepter d’être privé de son statut d’intouchable et d’être remplacé en cours de match.”Nous sommes tous dans le même bateau et nous ramons dans la même direction. Je pense que toute l’équipe est concentrée sur le terrain, ce qui est le plus important. Nous sommes des compétiteurs, tous les joueurs veulent être sur le terrain, et c’est une bonne chose. Maintenant, nous voulons continuer d’avancer vers nos objectifs, un match après l’autre”, a conclu Xabi Alonso à la veille de la rencontre de Liga contre Valence.
