Cat from the Cinémathèque joined the Breakfast Show to share details about the return of Luxembourg's beloved open-air cinema series, set to begin on the 25th July in Place Guillaume II. With screenings curated by the Cinémathèque, this summer's programme promises a diverse mix of European cinema, Hollywood classics, and hidden gems, all shown under the stars in one of the city's most iconic squares. The open-air season opens with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator', chosen for its enduring political resonance and cinematic legacy. The line-up spans from 1940s classics like 'Sunset Boulevard' to modern Oscar-winner 'Flow', a dialogue-free animated film from Latvia. Audiences can also enjoy cult favourites such as The Big Lebowski', 'The Goonies', 'La La Land', 'Plein Soleil', and 'The Devil Wears Prada'. The films, shown in their original languages with English or French subtitles, are carefully selected to appeal to a wide range of tastes and generations. “We wanted to offer something for everyone,” Cat explained on air, noting the thoughtful blend of cinephile picks and crowd-pleasers. In addition to the outdoor screenings, the Cinémathèque will temporarily close its historic indoor cinema on the 1st August with a farewell series titled 'A Love Letter to Cinema', celebrating stories about filmmaking itself. This final programme will run through early September before the screening room temporarily closes for renovation. With over 25 years of experience in hosting open-air screenings, the Cinémathèque continues to play a central role in Luxembourg's cultural life.

Through most of history, monarchs wielded unlimited political and military power, while their Queens and consorts were in charge of producing heirs and ruling the hearts of the people. Since the fall of feudalism, the 10 remaining hereditary monarchs of Europe have lost their unchecked authority. But their spouses' so called ‘soft powers' of hosting diplomats, supporting charities and greeting the public are more important than ever. And they look fabulous doing it! Let's meet the Queens consort of Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, the Grand duchess of Luxembourg, and the Princess of Monaco. We'll also meet the Prince consort of Denmark and the Princess of Liechtenstein who have both recently died.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has been everywhere this past week for all the wrong reasons and a few right ones. He's headlining news feeds and social media after a viral onstage meltdown during his Lytham Festival set in England. Technical difficulties cut the sound mid-performance of Cry Me A River, prompting Timberlake to very publicly lose his cool, gesturing and shouting at crew members onstage. According to TMZ and Us Weekly, the entire tantrum was caught on fan cameras and swiftly made the rounds online, with fans and outlets like Music Times and Metro noting the visibly confused crowd and blasting Timberlake's actions as unprofessional. Instagram was flooded with clips and memes about his surly outburst, putting Timberlake at the center of a fresh controversy.This is just the latest public stumble for Timberlake in a rough year. Back in June, he was arrested for DWI in New York after admitting to having had “one martini” before failing a field sobriety test, leading to a plea deal with a fine, a 90-day license suspension, and mandatory community service. That incident reportedly strained his marriage to actress Jessica Biel as sources told RadarOnline the couple has been “leading separate lives,” relying on FaceTime during Timberlake's extensive touring and now facing new tabloid pressure as sources caution Timberlake risks losing Jessica if things don't improve.Professionally, Timberlake is pressing ahead with his 2025 World Tour, with major upcoming dates including a highly anticipated concert at the Istanbul Technical University Stadium on July 30, as reported by News Central Asia. Istanbul is treating his visit as a season highlight, with Timberlake expected to deliver his signature theatrical production and chart-topping hits—a chance, perhaps, for a much-needed reset in front of a global audience. Promos and behind-the-scenes glimpses from tour stops like Luxembourg have kept his Instagram followers engaged, where Timberlake has posted his gratitude to fans.Old wounds also keep reopening in the press. Timberlake continues to be referenced in coverage of Britney Spears, whose explosive memoir last year included revelations about their past, and the pop singer's earlier business missteps with Myspace are resurfacing in retrospectives about his varied career. Meanwhile, scenes from his recent films and older performances, like the infamous Super Bowl incident with Janet Jackson, are back in the pop culture conversation thanks to Max streaming and Broadway retrospectives.In summary, Timberlake's name is dominating entertainment headlines—for a tour that's still drawing crowds, a viral temper that's drawing critics, and a personal life that bloggers, fans, and gossip columns can't seem to ignore. As a summer of concerts continues, Timberlake faces an undeniable pop star paradox: massive professional attention amid some of the most challenging and scrutinized moments of his public and private life.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Triển lãm hàng không và không gian le Bourget 2025 ( 16-22/06/2025 ) đã đặt trọng tâm vào mục tiêu phi carbon hóa hàng không để giảm bớt tác hại của ngành này đối với khí hậu của hành tinh chúng ta. Triển lãm đã là dịp để giới thiệu những tiến bộ trong việc sản xuất “nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững” ( SAF ), mà trong tương lai sẽ được sử dụng ngày càng nhiều, kết hợp với nhiên liệu hóa thạch để giảm bớt lượng khí thải gây hiệu ứng lồng kính phát ra từ máy bay. Giao thông hàng không trong những năm tới được dự báo là sẽ tiếp tục tăng đều đặn, với tổng số hành khách trên toàn thế giới trong năm 2025 ước tính sẽ là khoảng 5 tỷ người. Các hãng chế tạo máy bay liên tục nhận được đơn đặt mua hàng chục, thậm chí hàng trăm phi cơ mới từ các hãng hàng không để đáp ứng nhu cầu ngày càng tăng. Nhưng trong khi đó, các nhà công nghiệp phải làm sao thực hiện được cam kết đạt trung hòa carbon vào năm 2050, cho nên họ đang tăng tốc phát triển các loại nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững. Đây là lần thứ tư Triển lãm Le Bourget dành riêng một khu mang tên Paris Air Lab để giới thiệu những sáng chế mới, những dự án mới cho giao thông hàng không tương lai, trong đó nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững được nêu bật.  Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ tại khu Paris Air Lab năm nay, bà Julie Lhomme-Maublanc, đại diện công ty IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN), cho biết: “Nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững là phương tiện thiết yếu để phi carbon hóa ngành hàng không ngày nay và tương lai. Nếu không có nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững, ta sẽ không thể thành công trong việc phi carbon hóa ngành này. Có nhiều cách để sản xuất các loại nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững. Ngày nay, đã có một số loại được pha trộn với nhiên liệu hóa thạch. Liên Hiệp Châu Âu đã đưa một quy định yêu cầu tăng dần việc kết hợp các loại nhiên liệu bền vững này với nhiên liệu mà máy bay đang sử dụng. Có bốn loại nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững. Đầu tiên phải kể đến loại gọi là HEFA, dùng dầu ăn đã qua sử dụng hoặc mỡ động vật để sản xuất nhiên liệu sinh học, hiện đang được sử dụng kết hợp vào dầu hỏa. Các loại nhiên liệu bền vững khác sẽ được phát triển. Theo quy định của Liên Âu, kể từ năm 2025, nhiên liệu bền vững phải chiếm tỷ lệ 2% trong nhiên liệu máy bay.”  Trong số những loại nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững đang được phát triển, đầu tiên phải kể đến BTL, bà Julie Lhomme-Maublanc giải thích: “BTL là viết tắt của “biomass to liquid”. Đó là quá trình chuyển đổi chất thải và cặn bã sinh khối thành nhiên liệu lỏng thông qua quá trình khí hóa, sau đó là quá trình tổng hợp Fischer-Tropsch, giúp tái tạo hydrocarbon tổng hợp, có thể được kết hợp dầu hỏa được sử dụng trong máy bay ngày nay. Những dự án sử dụng công nghệ này đang trong giai đoạn phát triển. Đáng chú ý là một dự án ở miền Nam nước Pháp, dự án BioTJet, sẽ sử dụng công nghệ này và trên nguyên tắc nhà máy sẽ hoạt động kể từ năm 2028-2030. Ta cũng có thể kết hợp điện ít carbon vào quá trình khí hóa, để tăng hiệu quả của quá trình này.”  Loại nhiên liệu thứ hai đang được phát triển là ethanol, tương tự như ethanol, được sử dụng cho xe hơi, theo lời bà Julie Lhomme-Maublanc, đại diện công ty IFP Energies nouvelles:  "Cơ sở là như nhau, có nghĩa là sản xuất loại ethanol thế hệ thứ hai hoặc ethanol tiên tiến. Nhiên liệu này cũng được sản xuất từ ​​chất thải và cặn bã lâm nghiệp hoặc nông nghiệp không cạnh tranh với các nguồn tài nguyên mà chúng ta sử dụng làm thực phẩm cho con người hoặc động vật. Sau khi được sản xuất, ethanol sẽ được chuyển đổi bằng một loạt quy trình để thu được một loại nhiên liệu mà chúng ta có thể kết hợp với nhiên liệu hóa thạch.  Ở đây chúng tôi có trưng bày những chất thải và cặn bã, như rơm rạ, cặn bã từ tre, chất thải và cặn bã từ các hoạt động lâm nghiệp, như các mảnh vụn gỗ.”  Cuối cùng, là loại nhiên liệu mang tên i-Fuel, được sản xuất từ khí CO2 được thu giữ bởi các nhà máy, như giải thích của bà Julie Lhomme-Maublanc: “Nhóm nhiên liệu lớn thứ 4 là tất cả những gì chúng ta gọi là i-Fuel, cũng là nhiên liệu tổng hợp sẽ được sản xuất từ CO2, có thể là từ khói công nghiệp, vì vậy chúng ta cần xây dựng các hệ thống thu giữ CO2. Để sử dụng công nghệ này, chúng ta sẽ phải thiết lập các quy trình thu giữ CO2. Chúng ta sẽ thu giữ CO2 từ khói công nghiệp, từ khói phát ra từ các ngành công nghiệp sử dụng sinh khối, hoặc từ CO2 thu được trực tiếp từ khí quyển. Kể từ năm 2041, đây sẽ là điều bắt buộc, theo các quy định của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu.  Nước Pháp có nhiều thế mạnh trong lĩnh vực nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững. Một số dự án hiện đang được phát triển. Bây giờ chúng ta thực sự cần chuyển sang giai đoạn công nghiệp, và điều đó đòi hỏi ngành này phải tự cải tổ cơ cấu để thực hiện được mục tiêu đó. Nhưng phải có sự hỗ trợ từ chính phủ và tất cả các bên liên quan để có thể có những nhà máy sản xuất nhiên liệu sinh học.” Chính phủ Pháp trong tháng 6 vừa qua đã chính thức hóa chiến lược công nghiệp nhằm phát triển ngành nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững quốc gia có sức cạnh tranh, hướng tới đáp ứng nhu cầu trong nước và củng cố vị thế xuất khẩu của Pháp vào năm 2030. Chương dành cho nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững (SAF) của Hợp đồng chiến lược cho các hệ thống năng lượng mới (CSF NSE) đã được chính phủ Pháp chính thức ký kết vào ngày 18/06/2025 với các lãnh đạo công ty hàng không, công đoàn và ngành công nghiệp. Chương này xác định lộ trình cụ thể cho giai đoạn 2024-2027, với mục tiêu là đáp ứng đầy đủ nhu cầu SAF của Pháp, đồng thời tìm các cơ hội xuất khẩu. Mục tiêu là vào năm 2030 Pháp sẽ tự cung tự cấp nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững, tích hợp cả nhiên liệu sinh học và nhiên liệu tổng hợp được sản xuất từ ​​hydro tái tạo và carbon dioxide thu được (eSAF và ebioSAF). Ngành công nghiệp Pháp đã bắt đầu đi theo hướng này, với một số nhà máy lọc dầu tham gia sản xuất nhiên liệu sinh học cho hàng không. Thách thức hiện nay là chuyển lộ trình này thành các dự án công nghiệp cụ thể có khả năng cạnh tranh trên thị trường toàn cầu. Ngày càng có nhiều công ty đặt cược vào nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững. Cụ thể là tại Triển lãm hàng không và không gian Le Bourget 2025, hãng Haffner Energy của Pháp, chuyên về nhiên liệu sinh học, và hãng hàng không Luxaviation của Luxembourg đã công bố một thỏa thuận hợp tác trong khuôn khổ sáng kiến SAF Zero, một sáng kiến ​​đầy tham vọng nhằm đẩy nhanh quá trình sản xuất nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững. Mục tiêu của SAF Zero là tạo ra một nền tảng cho việc đầu tư và triển khai các dự án SAF quy mô lớn. Sự hợp tác giữa Luxaviation và Haffner Energy là một phần của phong trào rộng lớn hơn: Cả hai công ty đều là thành viên của dự án SkyPower, một sáng kiến ​​quốc tế để đẩy nhanh quá trình sản xuất và áp dụng SAF trên toàn thế giới.  Trước đây rất thận trọng về SAF, tập đoàn dầu khí TotalEnergies Pháp trong tháng 6 vừa qua thông báo họ sẽ có thể sản xuất nửa triệu tấn nhiên liệu bền vững vào năm 2028 và 1,5 triệu tấn trên toàn thế giới vào năm 2030. TotalEnergies chi ra 400 triệu euro để chuyển đổi nhà máy lọc dầu Grandpuits tại vùng Seine-et-Marne thành "nền tảng không dầu hỏa". Một phần lớn trong khoản đầu tư này sẽ được dành cho SAF. Tập đoàn Pháp cũng đã đầu tư 340 triệu euro để chuyển đổi cơ sở La Mède thành nhà máy lọc dầu sinh học. Neste, công ty Phần Lan chuyên về công nghệ tái chế dầu ăn và mỡ động vật, có kế hoạch đạt được ngưỡng 1,5 triệu tấn ngay từ năm tới. Tập đoàn Shell của Anh thì dự kiến ​​sẽ cung cấp 800.000 tấn mỗi năm bắt đầu từ năm 2025 từ cơ sở Rotterdam của họ.  Nhưng theo cảnh báo của nhật báo kinh tế Les Echos ngày 26/06/2025, rào cản chính đối với thị trường này vẫn là khả năng tiếp cận nguyên liệu thô. Do đó, ngành công nghiệp này đang nghiên cứu thế hệ nhiên liệu bền vững thứ hai hoặc thậm chí là thứ ba. Dự án nhà máy Lacq, cũng được công bố tại lễ khai mạc Triển lãm hàng không Paris, có kế hoạch huy động một tỷ euro  để sản xuất 110.000 tấn nhiên liệu tái tạo, bao gồm 75.000 tấn cho hàng không. Để so sánh, Neste đã đầu tư 1,9 tỷ euro vào việc mở rộng nhà máy lọc dầu Rotterdam, sẽ giúp tăng công suất của nhà máy thêm 1,3 triệu tấn mỗi năm. Đầu tư của tập đoàn Phần Lan này như vậy sẽ hiệu quả hơn gấp sáu lần.  "Việc thu hồi chất thải, dầu đã qua sử dụng và lipid là điều cần thiết. Nhưng những nguồn tài nguyên này không phải là vô hạn", theo giải thích của ông Pascal Pénicaud, chủ tịch của Elyse Energy, công ty đang dẫn đầu dự án Lacq BioTJet. Với các đối tác của mình (Avril, Axens, BioneXt và IFP Investissements), Elyse Energy đang tập trung vào chế biến chất thải từ gỗ thành nhiên liệu bền vững. Tiềm năng này được cho là rất lớn và hiện chưa được khai thác hết, như chất thải từ ngành lâm nghiệp hoặc từ đồ nội thất.  Trong mọi trường hợp, các khoản đầu tư cần thiết sẽ rất lớn. Công ty Pháp Global Bioenergies ước tính họ sẽ cần tới 200 triệu euro để đưa nhà máy tương lai vào hoạt động vào khoảng năm 2028-2029. Đây là số tiền tương đương mà chính phủ Pháp đã hứa cho tất cả hoạt động sản xuất nhiên liệu sinh học trong giai đoạn 2024-2030, trong kế hoạch phi carbon hóa ngành hàng không.

De Ballet National Folklorique du Luxembourg gouf 1962 vun den zwou Schwëstere Josephine a Claudine Bal gegrënnt an huet sech fir d'Bekanntmaache vu folkloristeschen Dänz wéi dem Dauwen-Danz verantwortlech gezeechent. Wéi d'Simone Mousset 2017 hir éischt Produktioun ronderëm d'Bal-Schwësteren opgeféiert huet, war bal ... jiddereen dorop eragefall.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake is making international headlines this July 2025, both for his thriving music career and a few business tales still making the rounds. Just days ago, Timberlake drew a crowd of 25,000 as the headliner at Lytham Festival in England, delivering a set packed with his greatest hits like Mirrors, Cry Me A River, Senorita, and Can't Stop The Feeling, igniting the audience and reaffirming his enduring appeal as a live performer according to the Blackpool Gazette. Following that electric performance, Timberlake jetted off to another European stage at Luxembourg's Luxexpo Open Air on July 8, where RTL Today shared snapshots of his energetic show.Looking ahead, Timberlake's global presence continues as he's set to headline Lollapalooza in Paris at Hippodrome ParisLongchamp on July 20, 2025, joining an impressive bill that signals his status as a festival draw. But perhaps the most highly anticipated show on his upcoming slate is his Istanbul stop on July 30 at the iconic İTÜ Stadium. News Central Asia reports that Istanbul's arts scene is buzzing with anticipation for his performance, which is part of his ongoing 2025 World Tour. Given the city's dynamic music landscape and Timberlake's setlist of international hits, this concert is expected to be one of the summer's must-see events.Stateside, fans are also abuzz about Timberlake's upcoming gig as a headliner at BottleRock Napa Valley on Memorial Day weekend in 2025. Wave 104 highlights his presence at the top of a multi-genre lineup, cementing Timberlake's appeal across audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.While his concert career is dominating the headlines, Timberlake's business dealings have popped up in a different light on social media. A recent Instagram trend revisited Timberlake's infamous investment in Myspace, serving as a cautionary tale for celebrity business ventures and sparking renewed discussion about the realities behind star-led startups.In entertainment news, Timberlake's past work is also having a streaming renaissance. According to IMDB, his 2011 sci-fi film In Time has been trending on HBO Max, demonstrating his lasting impact not only in music but on screens as well.No major social media controversies or scandals have emerged in recent days, and Timberlake has not been the subject of any fresh public statements or interviews beyond event promotions and fan accounts. There is speculation in the music business press about the ownership and management of his back music catalog, as Merck Mercuriadis' new Hipgnosis venture seeks to repurchase major artist catalogs, including those with Timberlake's hits, but nothing official regarding Timberlake's involvement has been announced.In summary, Justin Timberlake's July is packed with major live performances across Europe, excitement for upcoming U.S. festival appearances, and a side of social media chatter about past business moves—a mix that underlines his multidimensional celebrity and the staying power of his brand both onstage and off.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Minister Meisch outlines his plan, alongside Professor Lindsay Flynn discussing house-driven inequality and Martin Stoz highlighting his estate agency's community initiatives. Housing is one of the most emotionally charged, personally impactful, and politically complex issues in Luxembourg today.  In today's show, my guests are: - Minister Claude Meisch, who holds the portfolios for Housing and Spatial Planning; and Education, Children and Youth, talks about the way in which he sees the picture to be tackeld and his ideas for doing so. - Professor Lindsay Flynn, Associate Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the University of Luxembourg, examines the causes and consequences of housing-driven inequality in Europe and North America. - Martin Stoz, a real estate and social entrepreneur, whose estate agency gives away one third of its commission to a charity of the seller's choice.  Minister Meisch: Build Faster, Smarter, Fairer Minister Meisch outlines a housing landscape shaped by rapid economic growth, population expansion, and a growing disconnect between incomes and housing prices. “We want to be a country where every family finds an affordable home,” he says, but current waiting lists have over 5,500 families are on the public housing waiting list, and many more have simply given up trying. To tackle this, the government is pushing through 40 new measures to simplify building procedures, accelerate planning, and prioritise affordable housing, particularly near transport hubs and employment zones. Spatial planning also must include schooling, healthcare, green spaces, and de-centralisation, away from just Luxembourg city and Esch, to include projects such as the Nordstad, to develop Ettelbrück and Diekirch as northern urban centres. Define Affordable: A Moving Target Prof. Lindsay Flynn draws a sharp distinction between policy definitions of affordable housing and people's lived realities. “When people say ‘affordable', they mean affordable for them – not a statistical bracket,” she notes. Her research, funded by the FNR's PROPEL project, focuses on the ripple effects of housing inequality – particularly among young people and renters. Unlike many EU countries, Luxembourg offers both rental and ownership options under the affordable label. However, whether these are truly accessible depends on income, mortgage access, and policy eligibility – highlighting the mismatch between public definitions and private experience. Renting Realities: What Tenants Are Up Against Prof. Flynn's team recently led a landmark study for Mieterschutz Luxembourg, delving into tenant experiences in the private rental market. The findings included mould and landlords commonly ignoring repair requests. Even when tenants have legal rights, many lack the time, money, or confidence, especially in a foreign language, to enforce them. One practical solution she proposes is to download a letter template to support tenants in communicating formally with landlords. But “many fear retaliation. They don't want to make a fuss.” Youth Extended: The Hidden Costs of Inaccessibility Young people are increasingly stuck at home longer, delaying not only homeownership but life itself: settling down with a partner, starting families, building a financial base. Flynn warns that the housing crisis is “not just about shelter. It's shaping our demographics, our birth rates, and our economic futures.” Her transatlantic studies show striking similarities between Europe and North America: housing costs directly correlate with smaller families and fewer life milestones. “It's not always delay,” she says. “Sometimes, it's trade-off. Life choices are being forgone because of rent.” Immigration, Inclusion & Infrastructure Luxembourg can't cap immigration under EU law. So instead, it must anticipate growth. That means not only more homes, but more schools, including three new international public schools planned by 2028, and better integration. “Only one-third of children in Luxembourg speak Luxembourgish or German at home,”  notes Minister Meisch. Flexibility in education, housing, and planning is essential for cohesion. Can Design Save the City? What about the aesthetics of housing? Minister Meisch admits not all new developments are beautiful, and that's a problem. While individual communes control architectural regulations, the Ministry of the Interior is working on harmonising rules. Public developers like the Fonds du Logement are increasingly showcasing that affordability and design don't have to be mutually exclusive. A Human-Centred Real Estate Model Finally, Martin Stoz of Together Immo offers a fresh take: a for-profit real estate agency that donates a third of every commission to a charity of the seller's choice. “I wanted my work to have meaning,” he explains. Stoz hopes to build a model of conscious capitalism in a sector often criticised for its contribution to inequality.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake is riding a wave of high-profile European festival performances as his Forget Tomorrow World Tour barrels through July 2025. In the last few days, Timberlake has thrilled massive crowds across the UK, beginning with a show at Chelmsford City Racecourse on July 4 where he performed alongside Jess Glynne and Dagny, an event that drew widespread attention and was captured in fan-shot video circulating on social media. Just two nights later, he headlined Lytham Festival, where, according to the Blackpool Gazette, Timberlake wowed a sold-out crowd of 25,000 with hits like Mirrors, Cry Me a River, Senorita, and Can't Stop the Feeling, delivering what many are calling one of the festival's most electrifying nights. The crowd's energy and his dynamic stage presence were the subject of glowing fan posts across Instagram and Twitter.Continuing the European leg, Timberlake touched down in Luxembourg, performing at the Luxexpo Open-Air on July 8, as confirmed by photo galleries published by RTL Today and previewed by fan accounts days prior. The live event was widely documented, with images showing Timberlake commanding the stage before another sea of fans, cementing his status as a premier live act and a global pop icon this summer.Beyond the spotlight, Timberlake's name continues to carry weight in the business of music rights. Merck Mercuriadis, the founder of Hipgnosis Songs Fund, who famously acquired Timberlake's valuable song catalog, has launched a new company aiming to buy back blockbuster music rights, according to the Financial Times reported by Music Business Worldwide. While there is no indication of Timberlake himself being directly involved in new transactions, his catalog remains a centerpiece in lucrative music asset discussions as these high-stakes deals unfold.Timberlake's personal brand and business portfolio also remain robust. As Sacco Trend Magazine notes, his fortune is buoyed not only by music and touring but by ongoing endorsements and entrepreneurial projects outside entertainment. Meanwhile, any fresh speculation about Timberlake's private life has been muted, with recent coverage focusing squarely on his music, tour, and the legacy of his business ventures rather than celebrity gossip or drama.No controversies or headline-grabbing missteps have emerged in the past week—only sold-out shows, enthusiastic fan response, and continued validation of his enduring star power. As his tour rolls through Europe and business headlines swirl with his music rights at their core, Justin Timberlake is once again everywhere you look, and at the top of his game.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Notre histoire commence le 13 août 1762.Nous sommes à Marcourt, le long de l'Ourthe, dans ce qui correspond, aujourd'hui, à la province du Luxembourg belge. A l'époque sous domination autrichienne. Nous venons d'assister à la naissance d'une petite fille que ses parents vont prénommer Anne-Josèphe. , petite paysanne ardennaise, illettrée, va connaitre un destin extraordinaire puisqu'elle deviendra l'une des pionnières du féminisme lors de la Révolution française. De Marcourt à Paris, en passant par Londres, l'Italie, Vienne, elle va goûter aux joies de la vie mondaine, aux affres de la passion et aux tentations de la vie d'artiste. Femme entretenue, femme libérée, elle trouvera sur sa route l'exaltation de la liberté, mais aussi la terreur, l'humiliation et la folie. Pour les siècles qui ont suivi elle reste Théroigne de Méricourt.

Clara Moraru and Ivan Leal Martins are actively involved in creating political dialogue for all and remind us that democracy grows stronger when more people participate. Real democracy starts with us: our concerns, our friends and family, and more globally our concerns for the world we are in and will leave behind. Politics and law-making creates the scaffold of our society. Whether you're a long-time Luxembourg resident, a recent arrival, a young voter, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this episode should help guide to becoming politically empowered. Clara Moraru, founder of Politics for All, and Ivan Leal Martins from Wecitizens join me in studio to share how we can all help shape society by participating, speaking up, and even running for office. Why Local Politics Matter — Even If You Can't Vote “You pay taxes. Your children go to school here. You contribute to society — so why wouldn't you be involved in politics?” Clara asks passionately. Her organisation, Politics for All, is demystifying the political system in Luxembourg for residents who may feel excluded, especially foreign nationals. “We have to make people aware that not voting doesn't mean you don't have a voice. You can participate in public consultations. You can go to communal council meetings. You can be present and active in the local debate.” Youth Participation Ivan Leal Martins, European Project Manager at Wecitizens, is leading efforts to connect youth with democratic action. “Sometimes people say young people are not interested in politics. That's not true. They are political, they just express it differently.” He adds: “They protest. They care about the environment. What we're trying to do is help them connect that energy with the political structures that can amplify their voice.” With projects like MEP4aDay and EU Talks & Bites, Ivan is facilitating moments where students meet policymakers, simulate legislative roles, and realise the European Parliament is not a distant monolith but a platform they can influence. “We want young people to feel like they belong to Europe,” Ivan says. “That they are part of something bigger and that their voice matters not only in the classroom but in the European Union.” Politics Without Borders: Luxembourg & Wallonia  This summer marks the start of a 16-month cross-border project: Demystifying Local Politics, connecting communities in Luxembourg and Wallonia. With support from the EU, the initiative will feature civic education workshops, local government engagement, and the production of Voices of Diversity, a media project giving the spotlight to foreign residents who have stepped into public life. More Accessible Politics Throughout the episode, both guests highlighted the need for simpler, more transparent civic education and to bring opportunities that are freely available into school life. The goal of both Clara and Ivan is clear - remove psychological and linguistic barriers that discourage participation and create a more inclusive political culture, especially for minorities, youth, and foreign nationals. How you can get involved: Sign up for events, workshops, and Parliament visits Run as a local candidate — even if you weren't born in Luxembourg Use your platforms to highlight underrepresented voices Subscribe to newsletters at Politics for All or Wecitizens Explore EU opportunities via the European Youth Portal https://www.politicsforall.lu/ https://youth.europa.eu/home_en https://www.wecitizens-lu.org/

From planting forests to refugee kitchens, Vicki Hansen reveals the stories of awardees from the 13th Luxembourg Peace Prize. Vicki Hansen is President of the Schengen Peace Foundation, a Luxembourg-based nonprofit dedicated to global peace-building through its two main initiatives: the World Peace Forum and the Luxembourg Peace. Today heralds the 13th Luxembourg Peace Prize, and the awardees come from all over the world. This is a story of hope and people with tremendous purpose and passion, despite so much our our world feeling fractured today. “Peace isn't just the absence of war—it's a culture, a choice, a way of life.” The foundation's origin rests with two men who realised they were the first generation not to pass on war stories. What if peace could become the new inheritance? The sad thought is that this might not be the case for our children today, which is why, I think, this conversation matters even more. Outstanding Award for Peace Tony Rinaudo is an Australian agronomist regenerating deserts through his concept of farmer-managed natural regeneration (FMNR). Tony lived in Niger Republic in the 1980s when he worked on this technique, and now it flourishes across 26 countries. Outstanding Peace Journalism Gloria Laker is a fearless journalist from Uganda. She's trained over 700 others to report in highly sensitive conflict zones. “Peace journalism is the art of choosing healing over harm,” she says. Outstanding Peace Process Dror Rubin and Ghardir Hani are an Israeli-Palestinian duo using interfaith dialogue to heal generations of division. Dror says “Trust will be built upon introduction, we were not forced to live next to each other, we were chosen to be neighbours in the holy land- not one on top of the other but next to one another.” Outstanding Peace Support Chiche! is a restaurant chain in Luxembourg run entirely by refugees, proving that inclusion can dignified. Food, says Vicki, is a universal language for peace. Their motto is ‘inclusion is delicious'! Outstanding Peace Activism Jennifer Teege, a German New York Times bestselling author was adopted but discovered that her grandfather was a Nazi commandant. She turned personal shock and trauma into a life of reconciliation. Her mantra is that “Peace starts in our heads.” Outstanding Peace Activism The World Central Kitchen is another story led to the connection through food and the grace a good meal bestows on all sides. This phenomenon, the WCF, is led by Michelin starred chef José Andrés. His team serve 500 million meals across war zones and disasters. “Everyone deserves a hot meal served with dignity,” Through it all, Vicki's voice is steady, hopeful, fierce. “We can't outsource peace, we must be that fourth leg at the table.” This is a reference to the prize's sculpture—three legs of a chair with the invitation to join the conversation and be part of the solution. Peace isn't a dream—it's a decision. And it's ours to make.

Millions of people in more than a hundred countries march at Pride festivities each year. Attendees come mostly to express support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, queer and intersex people — the LGBTQI+ community. And although Pride may be on every continent, there's a swathe of countries where Pride still is not freely celebrated. Take Russia, where a court last decade issued a one-hundred-year ban on Pride events. Or Turkey, where police in recent years have been harassing, attacking and detaining activists and members of the LGBTQ+ community. And then there's Hungary, which is inside the EU but out of step with its laws and values. This year Hungary's illiberal prime minister Viktor Orbán said he intended to stop Pride in the capital Budapest, on the pretext of child-protection. Under-18s are supposedly at risk from so-called displays of homosexuality, displays that themselves were banned four years ago. That's a direct echo of Russia's anti-LGBT statute on Protecting Children and Traditional Family Values signed into law by Vladimir Putin more than a decade ago. This month Hungarian police duly imposed the Budapest ban that Orbán called for. And they added a dystopian touch: facial recognition technology. Attendees identified at Budapest Pride could face fines of 500 euros; they also could face neofascist thugs from far-right splinter groups. But Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony says this year's event is going ahead this weekend just the same. After all, Budapest has had Pride marches for the best part of three decades. It's also worth recalling that Pride was born out of state repression. The first marches were held in the early 70s in a handful of US cities to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. That name, Stonewall, comes from a bar, the Stonewall Inn, in New York City's Greenwich Village. The gay and transgender patrons of the Stonewall had grown sick of police harassment and abuse, and their uprising in 1969 still marks a key moment for civil rights movements everywhere. One beneficiary of such hard-won victories is Marc Angel, one of five so-called Quaestors at the European Parliament overseeing matters affecting the chamber's 705 members. Marc is a Socialist from Luxembourg and also co-president of the European Parliament's intergroup on LGBTIQ+ rights. For him, this weekend's Budapest Pride events amount to a protest — a protest against bogus limits on freedom of assembly in Hungary, and a protest against an international anti-gender movement, backed by Russia, supported by US ultraconservatives, and aimed at polarizing societies and weakening democracy.Support the show

As graduation season and summer vacation get underway in June and July, students are embarking on trips to domestic and overseas destinations with their peers, boosting the vibrancy of the tourism market, industry players found.随着毕业季和暑假的到来，学生们在六月和七月纷纷与同伴踏上前往国内外目的地的旅程，业内人士发现，这提振了旅游市场的活力。Theme parks, museums, cultural venues, internet-famous scenic spots, trendy business districts, as well as concerts, music festivals and other activities are all popular choices for students, and they have been increasingly pursuing personalized, flexible and new experiences.主题公园、博物馆、文化场馆、网红景点、时尚商业区，以及演唱会、音乐节等活动都是学生们的热门选择，他们也越来越追求个性化、灵活且新颖的体验。In June, the average airfare and hotel prices domestically are nearly 40 percent lower than those in July and August. For some high-school graduates and college students, their peak travel period starts after the National College Entrance Examination on June 10 and lasts until around July 10, said Qunar, a Beijing-based online travel agency.北京在线旅游机构去哪儿网表示，6 月国内机票和酒店均价较 7、8 月低近四成。对一些高中毕业生和大学生来说，他们的旅行高峰期从 6 月 10 日高考结束后开始，持续到 7 月 10 日左右。"Young consumers have become the main force in the cultural tourism market, boosting demand for more personalized and quality travel experiences. And more tourists are willing to explore domestic small towns and seek out some emotional satisfaction during their trips," said Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy.中国旅游研究院院长戴斌表示：“年轻消费者已成为文旅市场的主力，推动了对更个性化、高质量旅游体验的需求。更多游客愿意探索国内小镇，并在旅途中寻求情感满足。”For graduation travel, being together is the most important factor for students. For young travelers aged between 22 and 25, their hotel booking volumes in June jumped 22 percent year-on-year. Among these, hotel bookings for multiple guests accounted for over 70 percent of the total, Qunar found.去哪儿网发现，对于毕业旅行，“同伴同行” 是学生们最重要的因素。22 至 25 岁的年轻旅行者 6 月酒店预订量同比增长 22%，其中多人入住的酒店预订占比超过 70%。In terms of hotel bookings, the top five most popular domestic destinations for graduation travel in June are Beijing; Shanghai; Nanjing, Jiangsu province; Guangzhou, Guangdong province; and Chengdu, Sichuan province. Hotel bookings in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region grew the fastest, Qunar found.去哪儿网发现，从酒店预订来看，6 月毕业旅行最热门的国内五大目的地是北京、上海、江苏南京、广东广州和四川成都。其中，新疆维吾尔自治区的酒店预订量增长最快。Meanwhile, since the beginning of this year, there has been a significant increase in tourist demand for niche and in-depth travel products, said Tuniu Corp, a Suzhou, Jiangsu-based online travel agency.与此同时，江苏苏州在线旅游机构途牛旅游网称，今年以来，游客对小众深度旅游产品的需求显著增加。"Going for traditional cultural elements, trips that can help avoid summer heat and seaside leisure trips are among sought-after choices for visitors who take journeys in summer," said Qi Chunguang, vice-president of Tuniu.途牛副总裁齐春光表示：“追求传统文化元素、避暑旅行和海滨休闲旅行是夏季游客的热门选择。”In addition, booking volumes of outbound travel orders by graduates and college students have surged this summer, thanks to multiple countries' favorable visa policies offered to Chinese visitors.此外，由于多个国家对中国游客推出了优惠签证政策，今年夏天毕业生和大学生的出境游订单量激增。"This summer, some niche and emerging overseas destinations have received increasing attention from Chinese tourists," Qi said.齐春光称：“今年夏天，一些小众和新兴的海外目的地越来越受到中国游客的关注。”In particular, bookings of travel packages to Belgium, Luxembourg, Zambia and Greece have more than doubled year-on-year. And the bookings of travel packages to destinations such as Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan have jumped significantly, Tuniu found.途牛发现，特别是比利时、卢森堡、赞比亚和希腊的跟团游预订量同比增长超过一倍，格鲁吉亚、亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆等目的地的跟团游预订量也显著跃升。For hotel bookings, some top overseas destinations include Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, and the popularity of the countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative has been growing the fastest. Chinese visitor bookings for travel products to Luxembourg, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Georgia and Egypt have soared by more than tenfold over last year, Qunar found.去哪儿网发现，从酒店预订来看，日本、韩国、泰国、马来西亚和印度尼西亚等是热门海外目的地，“一带一路” 相关国家和地区的受欢迎程度增长最快。中国游客预订前往卢森堡、哈萨克斯坦、黑山、格鲁吉亚和埃及的旅游产品数量较去年激增十倍以上。In another development, the peak season for the domestic air travel market is approaching, and carriers have ramped up efforts to launch new flights or boost frequency on existing routes bound for popular tourist destinations.另一方面，国内航空旅行市场的旺季即将到来，航空公司已加大力度开通新航班或增加飞往热门旅游目的地的现有航线频次。Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines plans to boost the frequency of flights connecting Beijing Daxing International Airport with Baishan Changbaishan Airport, Jilin province; and Altay Xuedu Airport, Xinjiang.总部位于广州的中国南方航空计划增加北京大兴国际机场至吉林长白山机场、新疆阿勒泰雪都机场的航班频次。The carrier said it will operate wide-body aircraft on popular routes such as those connecting Urumqi, Xinjiang with Guangzhou and Shenzhen of Guangdong province; Beijing; Shanghai; and Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, and the number of wide-body aircraft used is likely to reach a new high.该航空公司表示，将在新疆乌鲁木齐至广东广州、深圳，北京、上海、浙江杭州等热门航线上运营宽体机，宽体机使用数量可能达到新高。For international flights, it plans to launch new flights connecting Guangzhou with Almaty, Kazakhstan on Wednesday, and new routes connecting Guangzhou with Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent on June 30, as well as a new service linking Harbin, Heilongjiang province with Vladivostok, Russia on July 1.国际航班方面，其计划于周三开通广州至哈萨克斯坦阿拉木图的新航班，6 月 30 日开通广州至乌兹别克斯坦首都塔什干的新航线，7 月 1 日开通黑龙江哈尔滨至俄罗斯符拉迪沃斯托克的新航线。重点词汇graduation travel /ˌɡrædʒuˈeɪʃn ˈtrævəl/ 毕业旅行personalized experience /ˈpɜːrsənəlaɪzd ɪkˈspɪriəns/ 个性化体验outbound travel /ˌaʊtˈbaʊnd ˈtrævəl/ 出境旅游Belt and Road Initiative /belt ənd rəʊd ɪˈnɪʃətɪv/ “一带一路” 倡议

Ukraine's Expansive "Fiscal Laws" Clause International sovereign bonds, and particularly those issued under English law, often include a clause providing that payments are subject to the applicable "fiscal and other laws." Usually, the clause makes clear this refers to fiscal laws in the “place of payment” (e.g., Luxembourg). Separately, international bonds also provide that, if the issuer imposes any taxes on bond payments, it must "gross up" payments to foreign investors, so the tax does not reduce their payments. Together, the two clauses usually immunize foreign investors from taxes imposed by the issuer but leave room for taxes imposed by the place of payment. Ukraine's bonds are different. They seem to leave room for Ukraine to impose its own "fiscal" law on payments. Arguably, they leave investors subject even to local laws that aren't fiscal in nature. Might this be a source of leverage for the country in its negotiations with GDP warrant holders, who have so far refused to make concessions in restructuring talks? Producer: Leanna Doty

Tout a commencé à bord du Princesse Marie-Astrid, un bateau ancré dans la Moselle, à Schengen, petite ville luxembourgeoise située à la frontière avec la France et l'Allemagne. Lieu symbolique pour la signature, le 14 juin 1985, d'un accord de libre circulation entre la France, l'Allemagne (de l'Ouest, à l'époque), la Belgique, les Pays-Bas et le Luxembourg. L'accord de Schengen introduit donc la fin des frontières intérieures et va jouer un rôle déterminant dans la construction européenne. Quarante ans plus tard, l'espace Schengen compte désormais 29 membres : 25 des 27 pays de l'Union européenne et quatre États associés (Norvège, Suisse, Islande, Liechtenstein). Plus de 400 millions de citoyens peuvent, théoriquement, circuler librement, pour le travail ou le tourisme, sans contrôle systématique aux frontières. Mais les défis sécuritaires et migratoires préoccupent de plus en plus de pays, à tel point que l'essence même d'une telle organisation est sans cesse questionnée. Invitées : Stéfanie Buzmaniuk, directrice de recherche, chargée du développement à la Fondation Robert-Schuman Marie-Laure Basilien-Gainche, professeure de droit public à l'Université Jean-Moulin-Lyon-III, membre de l'Institut Convergences Migrations.

It's a European special of Twa Teams, One Street. Or should that be Twa Teams, Una Strassen?  Dundee United are heading to Luxembourg after a very favourable draw in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round, with home leg coming first on July 24. Where the second leg will be held? That's one of the topics of discussion.  The guys chew over the challenge posed by UNA Strassen – from a Brazilian goal machine to the son of a Morocco icon – and weigh up whether United are destined to progress from a Euro tie for the first time since 1997.   More generally, what can be expected from Jim Goodwin's recruitment drive and who do you fancy for the opening day of the Premiership season, with fixtures set to be confirmed on Friday.  Courier Sport's Dundee United correspondent Alan Temple is in the hot-seat joined by Graeme Finnan and United-daft Alex Marr (‘@SPFLMediawatch' on Twitter).   Twa Teams, One Street is proud to be supported by SPAR Scotland.  #football #DundeeFC #Podcast  Listen to the latest Twa Teams podcast here: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/courier-podcasts/twa-teams-one-street/  For more Dundee United content from The Courier, visit: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/category/sport/football/dundee-united/   Subscribe to our newsletters: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/newsletters/  Interested in local sport news, you can save now with The Courier Sport Pack.

Retour en 1984, le week-end de Pâques. Dans un petit village reculé de la province de Luxembourg, un événement un peu inattendu voit le jour : la naissance du tout premier village du livre en Belgique, à Redu. Des livres partout, dans les rues, les granges, les anciennes étables, ou encore installés sur des étals improvisés pour l'occasion. Et c'est un vrai succès : pas moins de 15.000 visiteurs déambulent ce week-end-là à travers le village, curieux de chiner des ouvrages rares ou d'occasion. Mais Redu ne vit pas que dans les souvenirs ! Le village du livre est toujours bien vivant : ses librairies, ses artisans passionnés, sont là pour accueillir les visiteurs. Et cet été, une exposition insolite vous y attend : une rencontre inattendue entre deux mondes – le vitrail et la bande dessinée, dans laquelle es héros de la BD franco-belge deviennent des vitraux lumineux, à découvrir jusqu'au 31 août. Et notez-le déjà : le 2 août 2025, c'est la Nuit du Livre à Redu. Une belle occasion, parmi d'autres, de redécouvrir ce village unique et sa passion intacte pour les livres.

On 14 June 1985, five politicians met on a boat in the town of Schengen, in Luxembourg, to sign an agreement to get rid of border checks between their countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and West Germany. The Schengen Area now encompasses more than 450 million people and 29 countries in Europe.Rachel Naylor speaks to Robert Goebbels, who was Luxembourg's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and one of the original five signatories. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Catherine Lalumière from France signs the Schengen Agreement, with Robert Goebbels next to her, on the left.
