1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Doug Prisoner. Australia is reeling from a mass shooting at

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: a Honaka celebration and a father and son are being

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: blamed for killing fifteen people at Sydney's Bondai Beach. This

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: incident has been officially designated as a terrorist attack on

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: the Jewish community. Here is Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi.

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: This is a targeted attack on Jewish Australians on the

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: first day of Hanukah, which should be a day of joy,

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: a celebration of faith.

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: Albanizi previously announced that Australia would formally recognize at Palestinian

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: state later in the day. Albanizi said tougher gun laws

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: will be on the agenda at a meeting of the

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: National Cabinet on Monday. Two students have been killed and

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: nine injured in a shooting earlier today at Brown University,

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: and now a person of interest is in police custody

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: in Providence, Rhode Island. He is a twenty four year

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: old originally from Wisconsin. He was taken into custody at

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: a hotel fifteen miles from the Brown campus. In the meantime,

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: the university has sent students home and called off final exams,

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: as well as classes and assignments for the fall semester. Now,

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: city officials say and increased police presence will remain. However,

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: lockdowns around town and the campus have been lifted. Here

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: is Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez.

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 3: If these kids are going to come to the city

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: to be sure that we're going to do what we

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: need to make sure that they're safe, and if horrific

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: insiders like this happen, we're going to do what we

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 3: need to do to make sure that we hold those

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: people Acconnell.

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 1: That is Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez. Now, President Trump

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: offered his condolences to the Brown University community, and that

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: drew a response from Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy. Here is

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: Murphy on CNN State of the Union.

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he's knowingly restoring gun rights to dangerous people.

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: He is cutting off grants that have bipartisan support try

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: to interrupt violence in our cities, or to try to

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: get necessary mental health resources to families and children in need.

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: The evidence tells you that when you stop funding mental health,

39
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: when you stop funding community anti gun violence, programs. When

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: you give gun rights back to dangerous people, you are

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: going to have an increase in violence that is knowable

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: and that is foreseeable.

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: That is Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy speaking earlier on CNN

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: State of the Union. Former Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy

45
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: Lai has been found guilty of sedition and collusion with

46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: foreign forces. Here is Bloomberg's miendmen Low.

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: This is, of course the conclusion of a landmark trial

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 4: Americon trail that lasted over one hundred and fifty days,

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: and it's a very high profile case. Because Jimmy Lai

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: is a household name in Hong Kong. Many people know

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 4: him as a founder of Apple Daily, once a now

52
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 4: defunct newspaper that was a very pro democracy. It often

53
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: urged readers to take to this fleet.

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's minmen Low. The seventy eight year old

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: lie could spend the rest of his life in jail,

56
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: with a sentence expected at a later date. Lai has

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: been an outspoken critic of China's ruling Communist Party. He

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: was publisher of the Apple Daily in Hong Kong, a

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: tabloid style newspaper that backed the democracy movement. Now the

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: trial has been closely monitored by the US, Britain, the

61
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: European Union, as well as political observers looking at it

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: as a barometer for media freedom and judicial independence in

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Hong Kong. Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelensky has made several concessions

64
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: to Russia in an effort to advance peace talks. Selensky

65
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: met in Germany on Sunday with President Trump's negotiators, and

66
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: he made it clear that Ukraine was willing to compromise

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: on certain issues. Selensky said Ukraine would give up on

68
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: its hopes to join NATO at least for now, as

69
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: long as it won security guarantees from the US to

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: prevent Russia from again invading it. Peace deal was reached, However,

71
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Zelenski also repeated that Ukraine was not willing to see

72
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: territory it now controls, as the Trump administration has suggested.

73
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: Today's meeting lasted more than five hours. Talks will resume

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: on Monday. Two people have been found dead at a

75
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Los Angeles home owned by director actor Rob Reiner. A

76
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: law enforcement official in Los Angeles spoke to the Associated

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Press on condition of anonymity. The names of the victims

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: have not been released, and a cause of death was

79
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: not given. Congress made a move to back federal workers'

80
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: union rights. That story from Bloomberg's Nathan Hager.

81
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: In Washington, the House voted this week to overturn an

82
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: executive order that President Trump signed in March curbing union

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: rights at some federal agencies. Twenty Republicans joined with every

84
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 5: Democrat president on the bill. After Maine Democrat Jared Golden

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: forced the legislation to a vote through a discharge petition.

86
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 5: Five Republicans from swing states signed on to that effort.

87
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: This bill face is tougher. In the Senate companion legislation.

88
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 5: There has just one Republican co sponsor. In Washington. I'm

89
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 5: Nathan Hager Bloomberg Radio.

90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: And that is news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now.

91
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm Doug Chrisner, and this is Bloomberg
