1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: News when you wanted with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Brian

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Curtis in Hong Kong. US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: is slamming an ICC prosecutor's decision to seek war crime

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: charges against Israel's prime minister.

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: The extremely wrongheaded decision by the ICC prosecutor yesterday, the

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: shameful equivalents implied between Hamas and the leadership of israel

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: I think that only complicates the prospects for getting such.

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: An agreement, Blincoln spoke during his Senate Foreign Relations hearing.

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: His comments echoed criticism leveled by President Joe Biden. ICC

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan is pursuing charges against both net

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: and Yahu and Hamas leader ya Yasinowar. Blincoln said the

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: administration was looking at appropriate steps to take on the

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: prosecutor's decision. A funeral procession was held Tuesday for Iran's

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: president and foreign Minister Ibrahim Raisi and other officials were

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: killed in a helicom crash on Sunday. An election for

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: a new president will be held June twenty eighth, but

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Roslind Matheson reports that leaves the question of who'll

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: replace the Supreme Leader unanswered.

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: President Ricey was seen as one candidate to succeed him,

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: and now it's really, you know, the Supreme rule is

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: son who's the sole candidate, And that raises all sorts

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: of awkward questions for Iran. So the longer term question

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: is really the big one for Iran and where it

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: goes from here in terms of domestically and in the

25
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: region and beyond, And that's the question off he would

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: be the Supreme Leader.

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Ross matheson. Meantime, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: China will strengthen strategic cooperation with Iran. The prosecutor and

29
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: the judge in Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case have

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: both won their respective primaries. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story.

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: If Prosecutor Fannie Willis wins the general election in Atlantis

32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: Fulton County, she will continue to prosecute the case. Wellis

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 4: last year obtained a sprawling Iraq turing indictment against Trump

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: and eighteen others. Willis going in had a very hefty

35
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: fundraising pot and has run on a campaign that the

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: future of the county should not be controlled by self

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 4: interested politicians. The county usually votes heavily Democratic. Judge Scott

38
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: McAfee won an uncontested race. He was randomly assigned to

39
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: the Trump case by the court at Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Meantime, six FED officials spoke in Unison today about keeping

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: interest rates higher for longer. Governor Christopher Waller wants to

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: see three to five months of softer data before considering

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: cutting rates. In meantime, Atlanta President Rafael Bostik said the

44
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: FED is actively rethinking its view on the neutral rate.

45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Here's Bloomberg's Michael McKee.

46
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 5: Fed officials are speaking with one voice now that they

47
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 5: don't think they're going to be cutting rates anytime soon.

48
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: As a slight disagreement about how many they might get

49
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: in this year, if any at all, but they all

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 5: seem resigned to the fact that this is going to

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 5: be a long process and that the US is going

52
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 5: going to be the outlier. The ECB can go ahead first,

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 5: maybe the Bank of England, but the FED is going

54
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 5: to sit tight for several months.

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Michael McKee. Amazon has halted orders of Invidia's advanced

56
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: chip known as Grace Hopper. The ft says it's because

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Amazon is waiting for a newer, more powerful model. Here's

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Katy Greefeld.

59
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 6: Back in March, and Video unveiled a new generation of

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 6: processors that were named Blackwell. That announcement came barely a

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 6: year after Hopper began to be shipped to customers. But

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 6: you had in video CEO saying that the new Blackwell

63
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 6: products they're going to be twice as powerful for training

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 6: large language models, which is of course the technology betime

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 6: chat GBT, and it seems like Amazon would rather hold

66
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 6: out for those new models.

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,600

Speaker 1: of trading tomorrow today, in Vidia stock was up zero

69
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: point six percent. We've learned the world's most sophisticated ship

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: making machines in Taiwan can be remotely disabled in the

71
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: event that China in vas The advanced extreme ultraviolet machines

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: are made by ASML and are used by TSMC. Here's

73
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Tom McKenzie with more from London.

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 7: Essentially, this is a kill switch that would be applied

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 7: to these ASML machines. These extreme ultraviolet lithography machines that

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 7: process and produce, and they are essential to the production

77
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 7: of the most sophisticated chips that TSMC, that makes the

78
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 7: biggest foundries over in Taiwan is dependent on. In TSMC's

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 7: the biggest buyer of these euvs that are made and

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 7: produced by SML.

81
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Tom McKenzie where told American officials have privately expressed

82
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: concern to both companies about what would happen if Chinese

83
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: aggression were to escalate into an attack on the island.

84
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: TSMC's chairman has said in the past the machines would

85
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: be inoperable in that event. That's news when you wanted

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: with Bloomberg News. Now I'm Brayon Curtis, this is Bloomberg
