Netflix and France's TF1 join forces as traditional TV struggles
Streaming giant Netflix and major French broadcaster TF1 have signed a deal to merge some of their services at a time when demand for traditional TV is slowing. Starting in Summer 2026, all Netflix members in France will be able to watch TF1 channels and on-demand content from TF1+ directly on Netflix. That includes dramas like Broceliande and soaps such as Demain nous appartient, as well as major live sports matches. These will soon be available alongside Netflix's own French-language offerings and its international series and films. 'This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience,' said Greg Peters, co-CEO of Netflix, in a press release. Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of TF1 Group, added: "I am delighted about this new partnership with Netflix, with whom we have already established strong relationships through ambitious co-productions in recent months." TF1 and Netflix have already worked together on projects such as L'Agence and Tout le bleu du ciel. Related AI isn't a threat, says former Netflix HR chief Patty McCord Paddington producer hoping for tasty result with listing on LSE Belmer continued: "As viewing habits shift toward on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this unprecedented alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ platform." It's not yet clear whether Netflix paid an initial fee for the content, and the firms didn't disclose how they will manage subscription and advertising revenues. TF1 is a free-to-air channel in France, meaning it relies on advertising income, even for its streaming services. The TV network currently reaches 58 million monthly viewers through its broadcast channels and serves 35 million users on its TF1+ streaming service. Through Studio TF1, the company also manages over 50 production companies and labels across France and international markets.

Euro Zone Is Still Held Back by Rising Mortgage Rates, ECB Finds
Household consumption in the euro area will remain restrained for some time as past interest-rate hikes continue to feed through to mortgages, according to research by the European Central Bank. The impact will be felt even after the ECB lowered its deposit rate to 2% from 4% starting in June 2024, economists at the Frankfurt-based institution wrote in a paper published Wednesday. That's because fixed-rate loans taken out when inflation was low are still expiring. Borrowing costs for those that are refinanced will jump to current levels.

The Bixie Is the '90s-Inspired Haircut of the Summer
What's a bixie, you may ask? Unofficially: One of the coolest haircuts of the summer. Officially: A hybrid between a bob and a pixie. In other words, the best of all worlds. Here, a look at what exactly makes a bixie a 'bixie'—and how to style it if you decide to make the chop yourself. Breaking down the bixie cut The bixie has quickly become the most-requested haircut at salons. For good reason: 'It's a cut that combines the freshness and casualness of the pixie with the length of the bob, combining shorter layers at the nape of the neck and sideburns and leaving longer ones at the top and close to the face,' explains Spanish hairstylist and Redken ambassador Juandiegoteo. Think: A grown-out pixie or a choppy bob with face-framing bangs. With a vibe that calls to minds the It-girls of the 1990s like Winona Ryder, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, and Victoria Beckham, it allows multiple variations depending on hair texture, bone structure, and desired length. 'It can be adapted to all types of hair and face shapes: play with the bangs and leave them down, tousled, or wavy to achieve a classic or edgy style,' recommends stylist Mar Peón of Menta Beauty Place in Madrid. Francesca Babbi Who can wear a bixie cut? While the bixie can be adapted for anyone, 'it's a cut that especially favors oval faces as it highlights the cheekbones,' says Juandiegoteo. He also considers it 'ideal for fine hair because it adds a lot of volume. And, it also works well with wavy and curly hair for a more casual style,' he explains. Felicitas Ordás of Felicitas Hair says it's also a great cut for anyone who wants to highlight their jawline, shoulders, and neck. 'With this cut, the nape of the neck and sides are lengthened.' Her advice: Comb it with the ends slightly outwards to give it a playful, gamine look.
