But for French prosecutor Eric Maillaud, the argument 11 months before the shooting remains a valid line of inquiry. He told me: We cannot find another member of the family who would have wanted rid of Saad apart from Zaid. Zaid Al Hilli, broth...

WORK ON IT 22 May 2020, 1:57 Updated: 22 May 2020, 11:06 THE number of people claiming unemployment benefit soared to almost 2. 1million in April. A record 856, 500 extra people signed up for Jobseeker's Allowance — the sharpest monthly rise ever recorded. 4 Unemployment figures looked dire last month but job boards are now reporting some signs of recovery Credit: Getty And that does NOT include the eight million workers kept on by their employers via the Government's wage support scheme, some of whom may yet face redundancy. But job boards are now reporting some signs of recovery, with permanent vacancies on the rise for the first time since the pandemic hit. Jon Wilson of Totaljobs said: "These are tough times for many workers but we are seeing green shoots starting to appear. "Last week there was an 18 per cent increase in the number of jobs advertised with us, with the highest number of vacancies on the site since March — particularly in social care, IT, engineering and manufacturing. "
In the UK, British supermarket Tesco posted 2, 000 more seasonal vacancies than last year. It posted its seasonal vacancies on student jobs site E4S a month later than usual because of lockdown uncertainty, but still received over twice as many applications, according to website data. German supermarket giant Lidl took on 2, 400 apprentices this year in Germany, 40% higher than last year's intake. Lidl and Inc were already boosting their staff by a significant amount throughout the year to deal with the surge in demand, reducing the need for temporary seasonal hires, the companies said. Amazon hired just 100, 000 seasonal staff this year in the United States, half last year's total of 200, 000, because it had already boosted operational hires by 275, 000 throughout the year, it said in September. Lidl took an opportunistic approach to finding candidates this season in Germany, where a partial lockdown is likely to be toughened in coming days. "Bar work is so yesterday, " read a November 30 recruitment ad.
"This is likely a window into the new world of retail, " Daniel Zhao, senior economist at Glassdoor, said. "What was done out of necessity during a pandemic is likely to become an annual online shopping tradition for future holidays. " Glassdoor saw a 120% year-on-year increase in applications for e-commerce roles like delivery drivers, warehouse workers and order pickers in the United States and a 45% jump in the UK. Oscar Jiminez, a twenty-two year old college senior in Southern California, is among the lucky ones. He landed seasonal employment in October in a gig he believed would have him working as a customer service agent on an "essential" retailers' sales floor. But he found himself in a warehouse at the back of the store instead. "This wasn't exactly in my job description. " Jiminez said. "So far I've been picking orders, going around the store, finding things people purchased online and getting them ready for curbside pickup, ship-to-home... I'm constantly on the move. " Some supermarkets are also pushing up hiring.
