French prosecutors to grill IMF chief over 2007 payout

<!– google_ad_section_start –> Prosecutors will grill IMF chief Christine Lagarde on Thursday as they investigate whether she should be charged in connection with a state payout to a disgraced tycoon during her time as French finance minister.

Criminal charges against Lagarde, 57, would mark the second scandal in a row for an IMF chief, after her predecessor Dominique Strauss-Kahn, also from France, resigned in disgrace over an alleged assault on a New York hotel maid. <!– google_ad_section_end –>

Mixed messages coming from free TV

<!– google_ad_section_start –> On the day free-to-air television station TVB announced it would continue a fight to block the issuance of more free-TV licences, the other free-TV station ATV sent out a press statement that was equally eye-catching.

It is held in high regard among the audience and our enemies.” Apparently it said “enemies” instead of “rivals”, a term used with extreme caution. (Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying was accused of calling pan-democrats his enemy, but he denied the claims.) <!– google_ad_section_end –>
