the republic, designed to rule a small city-state, found itself trying to rule most of europe. something new and stronger was needed. caesar established a no-nonsense, more-disciplined government, became dictator for life, and, for good measure, had a month named in his honor, july. the powerful elites of the republic found all this change just too radical. in an attempt to save the republic and their political power, a faction of roman senators assassinated caesar. his body was burned on this spot in 44 b.c. the citizens of rome gathered here, in the heart of the forum, to hear mark antony say, in shakespeare's words, "friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. i've come to bury caesar, not to praise him." but the republic was finished, and rome became the grand capital of a grand empire. the via sacra, or sacred way, was the main street of ancient rome. it stretched from the arch of septimius severus to the arch of titus. rome's various triumphal arches, named after the emperors who built them, functioned as public-relations tools. reliefs decorating the various arches s

a small city -- police raided a makeshift camps of migrants who had been trying to get into france. >> this is proof that migrants do not come to italy to stay in italy but to go to the rest of europe. current eu rules dictate that migrants must apply for asylum in the eu country where they arrived. but more than 100,000 have crossed the mediterranean this year alone with seven european stakes -- states like italy and greece bearing the brunt. the italian, german, and french interior ministers are firmly behind and eu plan that would distribute 40,000 of the migrants across the block in a quota system. even from the countries that have been skeptical, such as central and eastern europe, i've heard very constructive suggestions for the first time. they acknowledge they can imagine taking part. but on a voluntary basis. the plan is for decisions to make quickly -- be made quickly on whether people in certain hotspots are refugees or not. the main point is that those who aren't given asylum need to be returned. that's the key for success in the entire system. but it seems the light at th

january 2013 the city launched a small business assistance program and initially targeting five neighborhoods that assist business with access to assessments and grants to help them improve their business, so these are subsidized cass inspections. and november of 2014 the city launched a portal and i would like to show you and one of the key questions asked how come businesses say they don't know about their obligations? and because we most focus on the building code but this is an area where the inspectors don't necessarily go through every single and update and inspect you on whether you're in current compliance as they do in other areas. and we also know there are businesses who by turn key businesses are very small and not doing any improvements, tenant improvements to the business that would even begin to engage the department of building inspection and we launched a online portal and one of the keys -- we designed 10 steps in launching your business, and step eight is -- sorry, this is not as easy to navigate as i thought it would be. i'm so used to -- well, i'm very sorry that you're n

as a relatively small city to track 1000 background checks. w it would take too long or longer than uber wanted. that is why they were able to make a persuasive pitch to the city saying that new york city can handle a lot, but portland cannot handle that. when you look at cities of different size, they have different capacities for , forcing the regulations running background checks, for keeping tax on compliance. also in portland, they built an audit function where they can go back and and check the records of the background check of these fit how well they will do that -- we will have to see in the future. that is one cities approach and there are a lot of cities. in general, uber is getting what it wants. betty: thank you, karen. also, thank you matt for joining me on this. , hotrtainly is a hot topic button issue here. we will be back with more "bloomberg market day." ♪ welcome back to "bloomberg market day." i am betty liu. lowe's get to julie hyman for the big stories of the market as we are seeing red right now. julie: we are seeing red

obviously, a small city like coal city here has a lot of cleanup to do, but i think a lot of these residentsas they're saying to us today, at least their families remain intact in spite of the fact they may have had damage to their homes. >> pretty scary situation there. thank you, kevin. let me bring in nbc analyst monica -- meteorologist annika davis. what are you tracking now? >> from philadelphia new york all the way to boston even down to washington that is the threat today. those storms have started to move in so here's a look at the severe weather threat. 45 million people are affected by this. mainly we're looking at widespread wind damage and we will see some significant airport delays and cancellations. just keep this in mind the tornado threat is down to a 5% and a 2% up through boston and down through philadelphia, but we could see a 5% chance. now, that was the same threat that we had yesterday in illinois. that's from hartford bridgeport and down through new york. so the timing of this is going to be crucial because it's actually over the next couple hours. after watching this

it's a small city-state. it has its critics who point to a quasi authoritarian system that impedes free expression and makes opposition parties face severe handicaps. singapore can do things western democraticcys cannot. i believe it is an example of a diverse society that has been able to live together and that we could learn something from it. to be sure singapore could learn some lessons from western democracies as well. you cannot simply assume that the natural workings of the market or of society will produce social harmony or equal opportunity. government an elected government has a role to play. it's not about speeches and symbols. it's about specific mechanisms and programs to achieve the outcomes we all seek. that's something to consider as america in the wake of the tragedy in south carolina debates flags and symbols. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" column this week. let's get started. >>> let's dig into what the secretary of homeland security on friday called the evolvin

they had to take a long transatlantic voyage, and then take a train ride to a small secondary city that they knew little about. that reason, over 500 of this hundred plus athletes were american. it was an overwhelming thing for an international event overwhelmingly american. it was very very different. the olympics itself lasted 146 days. that is something we don't see today. over four months. it was very unorganized. people who participated sometimes did not even know that they were participating in an event, until they received an olympic medal. it would have been very very different from the highly organized, highly televised olympics we see today. >> was their confusion between the events being held by the olympics as well as the exhibition events being held by the world's fair? kendra gage: absolutely. unfortunately as we go back and look at the materials, it is very hard to ascertain what is olympic events and what was a world's fair event. the world's fair decided it would use the umbrella term olympic in their events as well. as a matter of fact, if you purchase a set -- a ticke

charleston is a small town -- it's a small city but he's going to go back to what he knows.re not talking about prisoners that escaped like up in new york that are on the run. this guy, he's definitely on the run but most likely he's going to go back eventually to his home to somebody that he knows. he's going to reach out to somebody and people are going to be able to identify where he's at. i do predict that's going to happen. >> let's go to charleston to nick valencia. tell us what you know nick. >> reporter: new updates here just into cnn with the following information from the city of charleston police department. we can now positively identify the gunman as dylann roof of nextington, kentucky with a birth date of april 3rd 1994. we had mentioned that that vehicle, suspect showed up in a dark four-door soo danedan. we're getting a more specific description saying he was driving a black hyundai with a vehicle tag lgf-330 and control room if you can, pull up that suspect's image. police are encouraging the public if you know anything about this suspect, dylann roof just n

and here's this small city apartment of a college professor on a fixed salary with 50 people at one timeand though this is family and these are friends, you cannot afford to tell anybody you were hiding jews, because even though they may not on purpose want to tell anybody else, but before you know it you have a problem. it was very difficult. to make sure nobody would walk into our room there. nobody did. interviewer: how did the food come to you every day? jerry von halle: well, the food was a big, big problem. the last year of occupation was the worst we had had. the hunger was unbelievable. there is nothing to eat. period. in holland, there was nothing to eat. we ate -- we ate sugar beets after the sugar had been extracted. you would extract the sugar and you are left with pulp, and the pulp you feed to the animals, to the cows, in holland that is. so this was stuff that you give to the cows. we ate this pulp every day. it was cooked on a small, tiny little -- tiny little -- interviewer: hotplate? jerry von halle: it was not a hotplate because there was no electricity. you would put

development positions within the branches and they have thousands of small business owners coming because there is concern if they go to a city agency or a federal agency they might get dinged or there's that fear whereas the library is a trusted place. oftentimes it figuring out how to best disseminate the information and key to small business owners and shift the mind-set. another thing is again i point to the role of the technical assistance provider and whatever that form takes but there is a role for individuals or programs that exist outside of the government agency kind of role that can act as an intermediary. i have seen first hand that a business owner will share things, confine things with the sbc consultant that they won't share with the local representation and they often play that connecting role so i personally think there is that role there if technical assistance providers are trained about how do you share information about checklists and educate people about codes they can serve in that capacity and they can be a very effective tool to shift the mind-set for the business owner as well. >> i think the concern

small story and trying to get in. go you know to springfield illinois, go to some big city or even a small city and cover the city counciletings. you'll learn when people are lying to you. you'll learn who to trust. you learn how to make sources. you learn how to smooze. those are tools that are not natural and have to be learned my biggest advice is to start out small. >> i started that way too, as most of us did, in florida as covering the annual fireworks story. >> it's useful to make a lot of mistakes which you will do on a stage that's smaller than the white house. >> i would come back i agree with everything everybody said up here. i can add one more thing, the best stories you'll get. the stories i feel best about, never the ones the white house gave me. never. and they don't give us nearly as many stories as everybody assumes they give us. particularly "the new york times." this is mythology. they give "the new york times" everything. i wish it were true. >> we'd like an audit of that. >> the wall street journal is the one they gave the story to the other day. the stories that are best are not the stories with th

city. the second implication i would like to talk about is a small towns. what it means for the development outlook and the emotion that goes with the transition from being a railroad town to a non-railroad town. it is the city in idaho. if you can get get out there, i will give you extra credit. [laughter] this is probably the hardest one to get to. there is a great rainbow trout in the river there. avery was an amazing story. hundreds -- several hundred miles of road was put under wires. the route had difficult mountain grades. electricity was needed to pull the freight and passengers up the steep slope. we read about the milwaukee road earlier this quarter. unhappy ending for this carrier. what story do we tell about it? anyone care to remember that? >> [inaudible] >> that's right. it went bankrupt. >> there have been different rail lines that were created. that was a very big one that we lost. >> that's right. they couldn't buy couple of miles to keep it in service. avery has no other major business. it does not even have a paved highway. it was built en
