beautiful black my family came to luxembourg. we almost had to go back to our island because we should be expelled from the country. in the beginning, i was at one institute. now our mother has found a beautiful, large apartment. i am happy with everyone. said weer left when i are all just luxembourg verse, and she added, we are all just human beings. however, color is not invisible. i have experienced racism. i've been surrounded by neo-nazis shouting at me. once i was even separated from my friends for hours. about blackks people, but you are an exception. and i say, no, i am not. thisis why we must report revolution to unblock the antidiscrimination directive. the time for silence is over. thank you. >> all lives matter. all lives are important. this is becoming a bit of a to boo now, journalists, politicians, professors are projecting a u.s. problem with andce violence on europe it's not right. we don't have a problem with police violence here. please do not have a problem with structural racism. there's no problem with peopl

but our work is not done is 1.7 billion in iran in assets in a luxembourg bank we need to make sure they stay there and don't get bad pre-the ninth feeling that when things are in luxembourg and places l like that and you wake up and you find out iran has $1.7 billion they are not entitled to, just spread out terrorism throughout the world. this is the largest bill we do each year i chair theau defense authorization we pass it every year we included language that made those advocates available to families and the president ussigned it sought one obstacle we have to get by and that is some activity by the second circuit works now being played out. spinning in the aggressive iran will continue president troops maximum pressure against current iranian regime for they would surely be used but the proxy organizations. i trust our department of justice to play with this and i'm glad we have a president who is made that a top priority to make sure the families of those 241 victims that were killed in beirut are going to be receiving this money as opposed to money going back. now responding to a

months, nazif germany had conquered czechoslovakia, poland, norway, denmark, belgium, holland, luxembourg, and then, to everyone's shock, the biggest prize of all -- france. great britain was now left is the only hope of freedom and democracy in all of europe. yet, although britain's future looked impossibly bleak at that point, many people who live were -- lived there relieved and even exhilarated that they now stood alone. for much of its history, their country had done its best to stay clear of europe and its entanglements. as an island people, the british had never been comfortable with oriances, european otherwise. one person who felt that way was king george vi, who rode to his mother, queen mary, "personally, i feel happier now that we have no allies to be polite to or to pamper" -- wrote to his mother. winston churchill, the british prime minister, was much more a realist. he knew that if britain wanted allies or not, it desperately needed them. you have to remember that in 1940, obviously, the u.s. was still neutral and nowhere close to getting into the war. so what did churchill

my family came to luxembourg. we almost had to go back to our island because we should be expelled from the country. in the beginning i was at the institute ap now, our mother has found a beautiful large amount apartment. i am happy with everyone. my touch loved when i said we are all just luxembourgers and she added, we are all just human beings. however, color is the know invisible. i have experienced racism. i've been surrounded by 14 neo-nazis shouting at me. i frequently got stopped at airports and once i was separated from my friends for ours. i hear tragic remarks about black people, but then you are an exception and i say, no, i am not. this is why we must report this resolution and call on them to unblock the anti-discrimination directive. the time for silence is over. >>.

found the inspiration for this day visiting a luxembourg restaurant he enjoyed the broad palette of flavor and could hardly wait to recreate it i'm not one to one. i'm really interested now how to have my own signature but then tweak a little bit of having different approaches of pressures and acidity in addition so i'm testing out a little bit with this so it's fermented 20 days and now i just slice it really raw and because it's in there i was just going to serve it pure so i just followed it will be going to make a little book get together with all the greens from the room to have a little salad book and together with the pigeon show is going to be a make wash. and then the vegetables and out of all things from the fresh it up and give a lot of. bird no sewage. as a main dish. his signature dish was made of lobster and happy hour now he thinks. nick birrell and his 20 person kitchen crew are open to international influences and grill is always on the lookout for new challenges. everything that i just said new is working out well so now i need to figure out what elements do i implement a

brill found the inspiration for this day visiting a luxembourg restaurant he enjoyed the broad palette of flavor and could hardly wait to recreate it i'm not one to one. i'm really interested knows how to have my own signature but then tweak a little bit with having different approaches of pressures in the city in addition to show i'm testing out a little bit with this show that's from $120.00 days and now i just slice it really raw because yes it's in there and we're just going to serve it pure so i just follow it to be got to make a little book get together with all the readers from the room to have a little sort of book at together with a pigeon show is going to be made course made and then the vegetable shop and out of all things from the fresh it up and give a lot of. good notion which. is a main dish. his 1st signature dish was made of lobster and caviar now he thinks. next brillant is 20 person kitchen crew are open to international influences and brill is always on the lookout for new challenges. everything that i just said new is working out well so now i need to figure out wh

previously for example that some of its controls would be lifted for example at the border with luxembourg and what is going to happen as of next week is that the remaining checks will be lifted which essentially means that tourists and travelers will be able to go from germany to other countries and back this is particularly important for 2 reasons the 1st one is that freedom of movement is one of the main principles of the european union hence politicians have been trying for a long time to try and find ways to make sure that that key principle was put back in practice and would be working again and the 2nd element is that tourism provides for about 10 percent of economic output in europe and millions of jobs depend on the tourism sector and the tourism sector is obviously playing an important role if you think that in the next few weeks you have the summer holiday for inforce and obviously many people willing to actually travel a particularly important element as well because the european union is trying to find ways to try and recover economically from the pandemic ok so thomas we know

satellite companies -- i have nothing against luxembourg, wonderful place. but they would not be the beneficiaries of what any person would consider to be a wind fall. i'm very pleased the chairman and commission ultimately announced their support for a public auction this year. i'm not completely pleased, though. i'm pleased with the public auction, but i'm not pleased with the parameters of the plan as the chairman knows. i oppose the commission's proposal to provide $15 billion in various payments to the satellite operators. it makes sense to me as we ask the satellite operators to move not to move to a new part of the spectrum, just to move within the spectrum, the c-band, and to allow us to use that portion of the c-band they're not using. that seemed reasonable to me, and it seemed reasonable to me we should pay their moving expenses, but we're paying them a lot more. about $9 billion in walking around money. and that money could be used to expand broadband. it could be used to expand rural broadband. it could help students connect to the internet, com

another asset -- the british company has agreed to sell its petrochemical business to a luxembourg company next strategic step in the sale delivers bp's $15 billion divestment targets a year early. that is your bloomberg business flash. thank you very much. let's stay with oil for a second. at chesapeake, we expected the company to go bankrupt years ago. they hung on, but last night they chap -- they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. joining us with more is stephen ofhardson, evercore isi head research. the key question today is to focus on the why now. they did not have that due till august, they still have a revolving credit facility, and they how are in trouble for years. what tipped the hat today? >> good morning, thank you. the answer on the timing and what we are seeing across this is that there is a strong view that the availability of capital is going to be more limited moving forward. as a result, i think there is a view that if you move forward, you can get a number of the creditors in agreement and move this through the process, it gets better to do it earlier than later because

seagrond, who was a son of immigrants from luxembourg.e was a schoolteacher and a one room schoolhouse in wisconsin. very patriotic man. a one day he said, we should have a ceremony. he did it. he went on to make that his life's avocation. his vocation was he became a prominent dentist in chicago. but his avocation was promoting flag day as a national holiday. he was tireless at it. he wrotes lots of books and pamphlets and spoke at rallies and got the patriotic and veterans groups behind it. it never did become one of our great huge holidays. 1960, president wilson did institute the flag day. interesting,r speaking of francis bellamy and francis seagrond, one of the reasons that americans postlated that we have strong feelings for the flag is a lot what happened in the history of the flag has not come down through the government. it's come from private individuals like francis scott key who wrote the star-spangled banner who was a lawyer in , washington. like francis bellamy who was a newspaper editor and d.j. seagrond and others who pus

"where's djibouti? "right here baby there's djibouti." we even did worse than iceland, a country that has a penis museum, and where, and this is true, people still believe in elves. the only mythical creatures we have are pasta goblins "finish your rotini, anthony, or the pasta goblin will come and steal your neck. yeah, that is a callback to yesterday's "closer look." i mean, i'm guessing it's the same people who watch every night, right anyway, if this is your first "look," welcome aboard we used have to have an audience america could have been like one those countries. in fact, some of them have been able to restore the cultural markers of nor

sure that they stay there and don't get back this gnawing feeling that once something is over in luxembourg a place like that that all of a sudden you wake up and you find out that iran has $1.7 billion they're not entitled to to spread out terrorism throughout the world. in last year's ndaa -- the ndaa is the largest bill we do each year. i chair the defense authorization. it's called the national defense authorization act. we pass it every year. so we included language that made those assets available to the victims' families, and the president signed it. i talked to the president, and he's anxious to do this. we have one obstacle we have to get by, and that is some activity by this second circuit where it's now being played out. so president trump has been a firm leader against the aggressive iran. and as i -- i certainly stand with him. and that's why this is a clear opportunity to continue president trump's maximum pressure campaign against current iranian regime and ensure these assets do not return to iran where they would surely be used to help the proxy organization such as hezboll
