british airways and ryanair are facing action for a possible breach of consumer law, by failing to offerstrictions. the uk's competition and markets authority has launched an investigation. earlier our business correspondent, alice baxter, gave us this update during the three uk covid lockdowns, thousands of would—be travellers across the country were told that they could no longer take the flights that they had booked, so what a lot of the airlines did in those instances is they offered vouchers, they offered the ability to switch those flights to a later date, they took away those switching fines that they would normally institute. from their perspective they were very flexible and customerfriendly, however what the cma are saying, the competition and markets authority, through the near 150,000 complaints they have received on this issue, is that that simply wasn't good enough. customers made these bookings in good faith on the understanding that if they were not able to take the flights, through circumstances totally out of their own control, indeed a pandemic which had government loc

his arrest after the first diversion of ryanair flight is further evidence as if the world needed it of the regime's utter disregard for international norms and reflects the new lows to which lukashenko and his foreign backers are willing to sink. belarus under lukashenko will never realize its full potential. lukashenko and his routine -- in his regime jailed more than 470 political prisoners. journalists, artists, bloggers, teachers, everyday citizens, not masters of entry step many of them report squalid conditions and physical abuse. they put the nation's bravest and rightist on public display. thinking only of himself and his cronies, lukashenko has been steadily feeding the belarus to russia for a quarter-century. the belarusian people are concerned about the kremlin's desire to erode their sovereignty and independence as are we. as long as lukashenko remains in power, belarus faces absorption into russia under the union state human. with dire consequences for the people belarus, for their voice, their agency, their culture and their identity. mr. chairman, as you said, the peo

the chief executive of airline ryanair, michael o'leary, is among those criticising the move, saying "more mismanagement of the covid recovery" and has created unnecessary disruption. the scottish, welsh and northern irish governments say they will adopt the same changes. public health england says the nepalese variant is already present in the uk. our business correspondent katy austin reports. since 17th may, trips to portugal have had the green light, with no quarantine when you get back. but from tuesday, that will change. it is just going to put people off travel and that is very damaging for the travel industry. either we believe in the vaccines or we don't. we just literally missed the cut off to change our flight, we had to do it within two hours, so we can't even get money back. no new countries were added to the existing green list yesterday. portugal left that category and became amber, with the requirement to self—isolate at home for ten days upon return. it is not illegal to travel to these places, but the government has told people not to go to them on holiday. seven mo

the boss of ryanair has accused the belarusian regime of alexander lukashenko of an unprecedented breacher one of his airline's planes was forced to land last month in the belarusian capital, minsk. in my opinion, this was a state—sponsored hijacking, there is no other way to explain it. the flight was en route from greece to lithuania when minsk air traffic control told the flight there was a credible threat of a bomb on board the aircraft, which was carrying six crew and 126 passengers. it was forced to land in minsk where two passengers, including the opposition journalist, roman protasevich, were detained. michael 0'leary was giving evidence to the transport committee. before he spoke, the chair read out a letter from the belarusian ambassador, who had been expected to appear before the mps. the authorities of belarus took necessary measures to ensure the safety of passengers of the flight in full compliance with the international aviation law. the belarusian side is concerned about the unfortunate decision of the british authorities to suspend belavia's permit to operate services fr

ryanair�*s boss, michael 0'leary, says the diversion of one of his aircraft to belarus last month — allowing french court has ordered ikea to pay a fine of one million euros — that's more than £850,000 — after the swedish furniture chain was found guilty of spying on staff in france. among the 15 people on trial were police officers, store managers, and the former ceo of ikea france, who was given a two—year suspended prison sentence and a 50,000 euro fine. in the last few days the skies over south west england have been buzzing with the comings and goings of global leaders in cornwall for the g7 summit. but there's been one foreign visitor who was not on the guest list — but is welcome nonetheless. jon kay reports. well, it's not a plane, but what kind of bird is it, high above the isles of scilly? some thought it was an eagle, an osprey, maybe a stork. i mean, ijust of glanced up and thought, "oh, that's an egyptian vulture up there..." it was will wagstaff, taking visitors on a wildlife tour, who then spotted the bird in a pine tree on the island of tresco, more than 2,000 miles from home

guy: michael o'leary, the ceo of ryanair. in some ways, michael o'leary is a counter indicator.ore agitated he gets, in impression you can take from that that he is not going to get what he wants. he has been highly critical of the british government and the irish government, but maybe that is a reflection of reality. i wonder if the delta variant becomes more dominant on the continent we could see similar variant -- similar lockdowns as well. alix: what makes success? he points out lockdowns was not to overwhelm the health care system, it was not to eradicate covid. you want to have enough beds if people go to the hospital. what does victory look like? the messaging is completely mixed. guy: i still do not think we understand that. this concern governments have is you are seeing every iteration of this virus, every new variant turning out to be a little more difficult to manage than the last. as a result of which, as we continue to go through the process, do you want to expose your population to travel? is that what you want to do right now or you want to try to build on the ga

will be speaking with the ryanair ceo tomorrow during the program. stay tuned for that., the wild west. that is what senator elizabeth warren calls the crypto market. bloomberg's interview with her is coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪ ritika: this is bloomberg. ♪ guy: welcome back. senator elizabeth warren saying congress and regulators are in our late date dollar short on cryptocurrency oversight. or hearings are needed to determine potential regulation. senator warren spoke with bloomberg's joe weisenthal. sen. warren: banks are either holding bitcoin, that becomes an issue we need to talk about with bank regulators. there are a lot of different pieces to this. i think the answer we saw today is that right now our regulators and our congress are an hour late and a dollar short. we need to catch up with where these cryptocurrencies are going. joe: let's talk about the idea of a digital u.s. dollar, the idea someone could hold a digital dollar in an online wallet or a wallet on their phone. a lot to talk about. still unclear, if something like that were to be implemen

daniel: i think it is meaningful and i think you're seeing it in the ryanair share space.so see his european countries like italy putting quarantine back on for travelers on their side of the deal. the delta variant is probably the most meaningful downside risk to airlines right now. it is still early days. there are different studies. it is not clear how well the vaccines protect against the delta variant. next couple of weeks will be decisive. alix: when it comes to the different countries and internal europe, who is a loser and who is a winner? daniel: definitely the u.k. is on the back end. all of the airlines are searching for ways not to flight of the u.k. but to connect other countries who are more lenient. the winners will be the sun and sand destination, spain, italy, greece opening up their borders from the rest of europe. those will be the economies that do best in summer travel. guy: once this happens and investors have an idea what is going on, what are these companies going to do? lufthansa, air france, klm taking on government exposure. what happens next? wh

boeing's primary customer in europe is really ryanair.y took an order from iag while the max was grounded. but what we see from the airlines in europe is actually airlines like air france, easyjet, some of the bigger airlines there. it really has contracted. romaine: folding into this, the idea of commercial aircraft in china and the idea that it could become a viable competitor. i am curious, in your mind, is there room for another player in this space with regards to the larger aircraft? george: i think the chinese will make room for another player. as we were getting into the pandemic, the chinese were approaching buying almost 300 narrow bodies every year, and that is what boeing and airbus were producing. they were buying a sizable number of those airplanes, so if they decide they are going to buy their airplane, that puts a big dent in boeing and airbus's deliveries for narrow bodies. so i think the chinese will make room. i think the threat is a decade out. they are doing test flights initially in china. they will have to learn how

and it was to the rest of europe, and ryanair has taken on some of those flights that were...etheless, it's important they will spend a few days and hopefully a chance for them to enjoy some cornish hospitality and some good weather and a pastel. what's going to be watch more carefully is what passes their lips in terms of what the president says. will he be critical of boris johnson? will he — the times is saying biden is acute injohnson in inflaming irish tensions. whether that story is accurate, as the times says it is, we might get a flavour of that in the meeting that is taking place on thursday between president biden and a borisjohnson is already in cornwall. he did a briefing with journalists earlier today. there's been talk of more money for cornwall trade and there will be a lot of focus on cornwall. 0f will be a lot of focus on cornwall. of course, this is not a bad way of promoting tourism in the uk too, in particular, america and japan, because the japanese prime minister will be attending this summit, along with justin will be attending this summit, along withjus
