It is a cloud of smoke that is now poisoning relations between Indonesia and Malaysia.

In Japan, a rather rare trial opened in Tokyo for moral harassment after paternity leave. The sports equipment manufacturer ASICS is accused by a 38-year employee of psychological harassment, because he took the paternity leave ... to which he was entitled. Upon his return, he did not return to his original position and was transferred to a position unrelated to his skill level. He claims more than 4 million yen (37,000 euros) in damages. The American press and especially the New York Times underline this paradox: if Japan has one of the best paternity leave policies in the world, only one man out of 16 dares to take a few days. This is contrary to cultural norms, especially those of Japanese companies.
