We have concocted a recap to help you see more clearly.

Partial unemployment for employees forced to keep their children

For employees in the private sector forced to keep their children due to the closure of their nursery, school or college, and who will be unable to telework, the government announced this Wednesday evening that they will be placed in partial activity.

Parents will thus be able "to benefit from a replacement income from the first day of their stoppage of work, and at the latest until the end of the period of isolation", specifies the Ministry of Solidarity and Health.

"This compensation may benefit one parent per household, in the event of the incapacity for teleworking of both parents and upon presentation of proof".

Macron takes advantage of a Mediterranean summit in Corsica to meet elected officials

For the third time since the start of his five-year term, Emmanuel Macron has been in Corsica since Wednesday at the end of the day.

In Ajaccio, the president participated in a “republican dinner” with about fifteen elected officials, including the main representatives of the nationalist movement.

The president of the Corsican Executive Council, Gilles Simeoni, was present but his colleague from the Corsican Assembly, Jean-Guy Talamoni, refused to participate.

Accompanied by four members of the government: Jacqueline Gourault (Cohesion of the territories), Gérald Darmanin (Interior), Marlène Schiappa (Citizenship) and Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne (Tourism), Emmanuel Macron will visit Bonifacio this Thursday before the seventh summit of Med7 in Porticcio.

Corsica has an identity of its own.

She is Corsican, French, European and Mediterranean.

That's all his strength!

I am very happy to see her again.

Some six new victims in the fires in the western United States

Fueled by drought and high winds, historic fires continue to ravage the entire west coast of the United States, from Seattle to San Diego.

On Wednesday, they caused the death of six more people, including a one-year-old child.

In San Francisco, residents woke up to a dark orange sky worthy of an apocalypse scene because of the smoke.
