President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expressed interest in ending the 6x1 work schedule in Brazil. This schedule provides for six days of work followed by one day off.

The measure also seeks to provide more leisure time for workers. The president believes that reducing working hours can benefit society as a whole.

Channel crossings by migrants in small boats have never been so few since 2019

The UK recorded this summer the lowest number of migrant crossings in small boats across the English Channel since 2019, with the British government celebrating the success of the cooperation agreement with France. The total number of migrants who crossed the English Channel between June and August fell to the lowest level in seven years, at a time when weather conditions and increased political tensions in France may have contributed to the reduction. The bilateral agreement, which includes greater French surveillance on the northern French beaches and information sharing, has been pointed out as a determining factor in the decrease of these dangerous crossings.
