Hello everyone, today I thought that I'd share with you a short video from Bloomberg Business to start your week (go through to this link here).

Long may it flourish.
In other articles today Denyse O’Leary looks further into the Apple-FBI dispute over unlocking an assassin’s iPhone; Marcus Roberts links to an important roundtable discussion on Bloomberg Business about the economic significance of low fertility; and Xavier Symons nails down what Pope Francis did not say about contraception in a high-altitude press conference
