Redes sociales sí pero no en horario laboral

http://www.rtvcyl.es/Noticias.aspx | Hay muchas maneras de distraerse en el trabajo, pero la que últimamente trae de cabeza a los empresarios es que los empleados se conecten a las redes sociales en horario laboral. Más de la mitad de los españoles lo hace.

Y eso se traduce, dicen los empresarios, en demasiadas distracciones y falta de productividad. Por eso en el 80% de las empresas españolas queda totalmente prohibido acceder a las redes sociales.

En cambio, las empresas si están en ellas. Es la doble moral del sector empresarial. Redes sociales sí, pero no para los trabajadores.

Belgium - Anderlecht district of Brussels mosque is attacked with a petrol bomb

Published on Mar 12, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ Muslims in the Anderlecht district of Brussels have mourned the death of the imam at their local Mosque after a man threw a petrol bomb through a window

The victim was aged 46 and died from smoke inhalation - a second man suffered knife wounds.

Police say they have detained a suspect.

Anderlecht's Mayor Gaetan Van Goidsenhoven was quickly on the scene and told reporters that he condemned the attack and hoped the person responsible will be suitably punished.

Belgium has a 500,000 strong Muslim population. Although there is no clear motive police say there have been occasional acts of violence within the Muslim communities in the area.

Our reporter in Brussels, Isabel Marques da Silva said: "The attack occurred a few minutes before final prayers, a fact which may have prevented more injuries. It has however greatly shocked the local residents with the authorities hoping to discover what made the perpetrator use such violence against a place of worship."

Spain - gets the euro group treatment after Greece


Published on Mar 12, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ There was relief all round after Greece's second bailout was finally rubber stamped in Brussels but immediately euro zone ministers turned their attention to Spain.

Its government was supposed to cut its deficit to 4.4 per cent of GDP this year but said it could only aim for 5.8 per cent - It was hoping ministers would cut it some slack.

Euro group Chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said in a press conference: "The euro group assesses that the timely correction of the excessive deficit should be ensured by an additional front loaded effort of the order of 0.5 per cent of GDP, beyond what has already been announced by the Spanish authorities so far."

In other words Madrid has been told it will still have to dig deep but not quite as deep as the original target. However it will have to find another five billion euros worth of cuts - a tall order with the government's austerity measures already unpopular and with the economy contracting.
