June 30 (Reuters) - French telecoms operator Orange ( opens new tab is establishing a new defence and homeland security division as it steps up efforts to support actors in these sectors in France and Europe, it said on Monday. The specialised division will be a part of Orange Business which serves businesses and organizations.

Orange owns and operates seven cable ships that install and maintain underwater telecom cables, critical infrastructure that has become a focus of European security concerns amid reports of Russian sabotage attempts.

France's Le Monde enters into content partnership with AI startup Perplexity
French newspaper Le Monde entered into a content partnership with U.S.-based artificial intelligence company Perplexity on Wednesday, as AI startups compete for deals with news publications to improve the responses of their products amid intensifying competition. The deal grants Perplexity access to Le Monde's content to enhance its search engine's responses, while the newspaper will use the Nvidia-backed startup's technology to develop new AI products. This partnership will also support publishers whose content is featured in Perplexity's generated answers. "At Le Monde, we have continued to explore new partnerships with leading AI players to enlarge our audience, expand our development capacities, and to build new sources of revenues," said Louis Dreyfus, Le Monde's CEO. Perplexity has already secured agreements with over a dozen media partners, including the Los Angeles Times and the Independent, as part of a program that shares a portion of ad revenue with the publishers. Meanwhile, AI firms have faced lawsuits from media groups and news publishers, who accuse them of unlawfully using content and articles without permission to train AI models.
