03 2. German airports intensive controls The German airports have responded to the series of attacks in Brussels and have cutted the connections to the Belgian capital. Even at the train stations, the security measures were intensified. Jamila Amdouni from Germany At Germany's largest airport in Frankfurt, the Federal police exacerbate their controls. The police officers have been trained for serious situations and the patrol in certain areas have been strengthened. Also their protective equipment has been increased. Some German airports such as Berlin/Tegel, Stuttgart and München have already cutted the flights from and to Brüssel. The Frankfurt airport takes on extra passengers from Brüsse. A first machine of Austrian Airlines has already been directed to Frankfurt, reported a speaker of airport operator Frankfurt airport. They also expect that the seven scheduled starts to Brussels would be canceled. Several flights which were an route to Brussels were redirected to Düsseldorf airport. A machine from Switzerland and one from Poland had landed in Düsseldorf instead of Brussel, said an airport speaker. They also expect more flights from Dubai and from Greece, which should land actually in the Belgian capital. The German railroad company Deutsche Bahn provides to stop the long-distance traffic to Brussels. Trains from Frankfurt to the Belgian capital ends now in Aachen. Even the high-speed train Thalys travels no more than Belgium. The Federal police announced plans to exacerbate the security for both on the German- Belgian border as well as at airports and train stations in Germany. 3. Hundreds of thousands turn out to protest French labor reform Up to 1,500 young people took part in the morning rally in Paris and several other cities. The new bill prepared by the government puts almost all aspects of France s strictly codified rules on labor relations up for negotiation. Florent Legrand from France Everything from the maximum number of work hours to overtime pay to holidays would be open to scrutiny, but the main focus is on plans to limit the cost of laying off workers. The government and business leaders say the reforms will encourage companies to give more workers permanent contracts rather than temporary ones, but unions and some on the left of the Socialist Party disagree and instead see a threat to job security. The proposal technically maintains the 35-hour workweek but allows workers to negotiate longer working schedules, up to 46 hours per week for 16 weeks. In "exceptional circumstances", employees could work up to 60 hours a week. To allow companies to deal with busy periods, one measure would allow employees to work more than 35 hours without being paid overtime in exchange for more days off. The government is still holding talks with unions and hopes to convince moderate ones such as the CFDT, France s second-biggest, to approve the measures, preventing the creation of a unified front against the plan.
