1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,559
Speaker 1: News when you wanted with the Bloomberg News. Now I

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: made Khalengi. According to people familiar with Western intelligence assessments,

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Israel is bracing for a direct and unprecedented attack by

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: Iran on government targets as soon as Saturday. It is

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: a move that has the potential to trigger an all

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: out regional war. An assault from Iranian soil has emerged

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: as one of the main scenarios expected by the Jewish

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: state and its allies. This according to people who asked

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: not to be identified as they are not authorized to

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: discuss the matter publicly. They did add that a bombardment

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: with drones and precision missiles could come within the next

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Friday afternoon, President Biden was asked when

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: he expected an attack to happen.

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: I want to get a secure information from my expectations

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: sooner later.

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: When then asked what message he would give to Iran,

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Biden responded, don't. Former President Donald Trump offered support Friday

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: for embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is fighting to

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: keep his job under pressure from ultra conservative lawmakers seeking

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: to tamp down on divisions in the Republican Caucus. Johnson

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: traveled to Florida, and promised to introduce legislation touching on

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: two of Trump's favorite political issues, border security and election integrity.

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: Trump looked on as Johnson spoke before taking questions from

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: reporters at his Palm Beach mar Lago resort. I stand

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: with the speaker. We've had a very good relationship, Trump

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: said during the joint press conference. The backing from Trump,

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: the party's dominant figure, could be vital to strengthening Johnson's

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: hold on power. Some Republicans are eager to avoid public

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: fights that make the gop let House seem ungovernable. Months

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: before the November election against President Joe Biden, China is

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: providing Russia with significant quantities of components to build cruise

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: missiles and drones, as well as optical parts for tanks

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: and armored vehicles, allowing Moscow to ramp up defense production

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: in its war against Ukraine. This according to senior US officials,

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: the White House is urging Chinese firms to cease their

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: support and encouraging European allies to put pressure on Beijing

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: to end sales some companies like Wuhan Global Censored Technology,

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Wuhan Tung Sheng Technology, and hick Vision that are providing

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: critical components for Russian military systems. This according to an

Speaker 1: US announced new restrictions on trading in Russian aluminum, copper,

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and nickel. It's a fresh bid to curb Russian President

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin's ability to fund his war machine, and it's

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: a move that could rattle global metals markets. The rules,

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: which restrict the use of metals on global exchanges and

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: in over the counter derivatives trading, will apply to Russian aluminum, copper,

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: and nickel produced honor after April thirteenth. Metals produced before

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: that date they're exempt. The US is also banning Russian

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: imports of all three metals. The House of Republicans took

50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: up the bill to renew the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act

51
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: otherwise known as FAISA, which was stalled earlier when Donald

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Trump asserted that it allowed the FBI to spy on

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: him and his campaign. Bloomberg served Chapman reports from.

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: Washington Intelligence Committee. M and Michael Turner backed the bipartisan bill.

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: We spy on Hesbula, on Hamas, on the Iyotola, on

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: the Communist Party of China. We'll lose the ability to

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: disrupt terrorist plots identify spies.

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: Republican Tom McClintock co sponsored an amendment considered by some

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: as a poisoned pill, backed by the Republicans right and

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: the Democrats left.

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: We cannot discount the dangers we face at home from

62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the very powers that this bill would continue.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: That scares me as much as a terrorist attack.

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: Bill was written with provisions to limit what the FBI

65
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,720
