A | (ECNS) -- Henan Province has introduced measures to encourage employees to take paid annual leave, aiming to make paid leave easier to take while boosting tourism and consumption. A notice jointly issued by six provincial departments requires government officials in leadership positions to set an example in using their leave and calls for employees to take their full annual leave entitlement. Employers unable to arrange leave due to work needs must pay compensation equal to 300% of daily wages for unused days. The policy applies to all employees with more than 12 months of continuous service, giving priority to those with special needs, including pregnant or breastfeeding women, caregivers of elderly relatives, parents of minors and migrant workers living away from home. The notice also encourages combining annual leave with weekends, public holidays and school vacations to create longer breaks of three to seven days. Employers may introduce flexible summer schedules, such as allowing staff to leave early on Friday afternoons, to facilitate short trips. (By Helen Mo, intern Liu Shuangjing)
。 PARIS -- France’s anti-terror prosecutor said Tuesday that a suspected Islamic extremist declared allegiance to the Islamic State group before fatally stabbing a teacher in a school attack last week. The prosecutor, Jean-François Ricard, said police found an audio recording in the suspect’s phone. In it, the alleged attacker declared allegiance to the Islamic State and expressed “his hatred for France, for the French, for democracy and the education he benefitted from in our country.”The alleged attacker was a former pupil of the school in the northern town of Arras. A teacher was fatally stabbed in the neck and three other people were injured in the assault, which prompted France to raise its terror alert level and deploy extra security.The prosecutor spoke at a news briefing and took no questions.Ricard said that shortly before the stabbing, the alleged attacker also recorded a 30-second video of himself in front of a war memorial.In that video, the suspect “repeatedly attacked, in his own words, the values of the French. He expressed some particularly threatening views,” the prosecutor said. In the audio message, recorded in Arabic, the suspect also expressed support for Muslims in Iraq, Asia and the Palestinian territories but didn’t directly link the school attack to the outbreak of war between the Hamas militant group and Israel, the prosecutor said.Two of the alleged attacker's family members, as well the suspect himself, now face formal terrorism-related charges, Ricard said.They include the alleged attacker's 16-year-old younger brother who is suspected of having provided “a certain amount of support” for the assault, of being aware of his older brother's radicalization and of advising him how to handle knives, according to the prosecutor.The other is a cousin who was allegedly aware that a crime was possibly being planned but apparently did nothing to stop it, he said. Police detained a total of 13 people for questioning in the investigation since last Friday but 10 of those have been cleared of any wrongdoing for now, the prosecutor said.。
