Speaker 3: down and a launch unit near the straight of Horror
Speaker 3: moves was hit. Iran says it targeted the bases in
Speaker 3: Kuwait where the US attacks came from. All this as
Speaker 3: President Trump insists Iran wants to make a deal.
Speaker 4: Is very much intent. They want very much to make
Speaker 4: a deal. So far they haven't gotten it. We're not
Speaker 4: satisfied with it, but now we will be.
Speaker 5: We will be.
Speaker 4: Either that or we'll have to just finish the job.

Speaker 3: live on Bloomberg Radio. Bloomberg's head of Middle East coverage,
Speaker 3: Suert Livingston Wallace, reports the president may be in a binding.
Speaker 6: Ran shown itself to have an exceptionally high pain threshold,
Speaker 6: and I suspect does consider this to be an ex
Speaker 6: essential moment for the regime, and therefore, you know, is
Speaker 6: not prepared to make a lot of concessions, if any
Speaker 6: concessions what we can see.
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Stewart living Ston Wallace reports President Trump appears to

Speaker 3: finish the job or at least not sign a bad deal.

Speaker 2: Vladimir Lensky is rejecting the idea of partial membership in
Speaker 2: the European Union, and a letter to senior EU officials,
Speaker 2: he argued that the country deserves full membership because its
Speaker 2: forces are defending the blog from Russia. Here's Zelenski speaking
Speaker 2: through an interpreter.
Speaker 7: We we understand that much of the wealth tension is
Speaker 7: currently focused on the war in Iran, but we must
Speaker 7: also end the war here in Europe, a bloody conflict
Speaker 7: that has now been raging at full scale for a
Speaker 7: fifth year. As soon as we can strength the protection
Speaker 7: against ballistic missiles, the sooner we can make diplomacy work.
Speaker 2: Selenski's comments come after German Chancellor Frederick Mertz suggested Ukraine
Speaker 2: could be granted an associate membership as an interim step
Speaker 2: before a full accession in the future.
Speaker 3: Well, now, let's turn to politics at home, Karen. Congressional
Speaker 3: Democratic leaders have lost a bid for a court order
Speaker 3: to block the Trump administration from prohibiting mail in voting
Speaker 3: for anyone who's not on a pre approved list of citizens.
Speaker 3: A federal judge ruled that the Democrats' legal challenge to
Speaker 3: President Trump's executive order is premature because the restrictions haven't
Speaker 3: been put in place yet. The order would ban the
Speaker 3: Postal Service from sending mail in ballots to anyone who's
Speaker 3: not on a government approved list compiled by the Department
Speaker 3: of Homeland Security Nathan.

Speaker 8: the President that he sexually abused and defamed her well.
Speaker 8: This probe reportedly accuses Carol of concealing financial support for
Speaker 8: her case from LinkedIn co founder Reid Hoffman, who's appears
Speaker 8: Trump critic. The Justice Department has aggressively pursued investigations into
Speaker 8: President Trump's political targets, including the former FBI director James
Speaker 8: Colby and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The acting

Speaker 8: case because he represented the President in Carol's lawsuit in

Speaker 3: sketch of a naked woman and his signature in the middle.
Speaker 3: A federal judge dismissed the president's case last month, saying
Speaker 3: it came nowhere close to the legal standard for a
Speaker 3: public figure to claim defamation. The new laws suit accuses
Speaker 3: the journal it's reporters parent company now Jones and Chairman
Speaker 3: Emeritus Rubert Murdoch of publishing the story, either knowing it
Speaker 3: was false or with disregard for the truth. Several tech
Speaker 3: stocks are on the move this morning, including shares of Snowflake.

Speaker 3: five percent. The software maker signed a six billion dollar
Speaker 3: multi year agreement to use Amazon's cloud services and chips.

Speaker 10: I personally think that right now we're over Ernie, And
Speaker 10: I know that's a hard concept, but you know, I
Speaker 10: think credit losses are the kind of normalize it, but
Speaker 10: they still still may be a little low volumes are
Speaker 10: very high, So remember you know, when you have high volumes,
Speaker 10: low credit losses and certain market we have today what's
Speaker 10: a probably over Ernie, you know, but our competition is

Speaker 11: we have to be we don't know where to come from,
Speaker 11: we don't know when, so we have to kind of
Speaker 11: continuously work with what we have in order to get
Speaker 11: to where we.
Speaker 4: Need to be.
Speaker 5: Ebola is spread through contact with body fluids of infected, sick,

Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. The war with Iran is
Speaker 3: now at the three month mark, and once again the
Speaker 3: US is going after Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz,
Speaker 3: even as President Trump says Tehran is desperate to make
Speaker 3: a deal.
Speaker 4: They're negotiating on fumes. But we'll see what happens. Maybe
Speaker 4: we have to go back and finish it. Maybe we don't.
Speaker 3: That was President Trump at a White House Cabinet meeting
Speaker 3: herd live on Bloomberg Radio, joining US now as Bloomberg
Speaker 3: Middle East correspondent to Bloomberg Horizons anchored Jumana Bursecci Jamana.
Speaker 5: Good morning.
Speaker 3: Are the latest strikes the US finishing it?
Speaker 5: Good morning?
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, look at another test of the seas far
Speaker 13: the second time this week that we see an incident
Speaker 13: across the Strait of Hormones, but the US saying that
Speaker 13: they acted in a defensive capacity. They shot down four
Speaker 13: drones that were being directed at a US commercial vessel.
Speaker 13: They also went on to target a drone launching site
Speaker 13: in Iran as well, at close to the port of Bendarabas,
Speaker 13: which is very close to the Strait of Hormos. In return,
Speaker 13: Iran saying that they would stride back at US military base,
Speaker 13: and around the same time Kowaits reported that their air
Speaker 13: defense system had been triggered, and so perhaps you could
Speaker 13: infer that the Iranian response did come through on that base.
Speaker 13: There's been no confirmation of that matter. But the point
Speaker 13: is here that the US did say they were acting
Speaker 13: defensive capacity, that the seas far is still being upheld,
Speaker 13: and we truly are not seeing any further signs from
Speaker 13: both sides that they want to escalate this further or
Speaker 13: actually resume full scale military hostilities. And in fact, yesterday
Speaker 13: even irgc A spokesperson was saying that the likelihood of
Speaker 13: returning back to full all out war was low, but
Speaker 13: that they were ready for it if it does happen.
Speaker 3: Well, where does this leave things then, when it comes
Speaker 3: to the negotiations with the sort of tit for tat
Speaker 3: happening near the Strait of Horror moves is the straight
Speaker 3: the focal point at this point?
Speaker 13: Well, I think the strait and clearing up the Straight
Speaker 13: is top of mind, especially for President Trump. He made
Speaker 13: lots of comments about it yesterday. You just played a
Speaker 13: little bit of a clip he's saying, it's international waters,
Speaker 13: the Strait's going to be open to everybody. The US
Speaker 13: will watch over it. And this is i think a
Speaker 13: response also to some of the language that's coming through
Speaker 13: from Iranian media suggesting that Iran once again are insisting
Speaker 13: that they have a right to ownership, of a right
Speaker 13: to controlling the strait and establishing a new protocol in
Speaker 13: the future, even a joint system with Oman, which of
Speaker 13: course the President and eyed and rebuked quite quite aggressively
Speaker 13: yesterday he even threatened Oman. But that is one of
Speaker 13: the issues that they are going to be discussing and
Speaker 13: continue to discuss around the framework for progressing on the negotiations.
Speaker 13: And the first part of the deals we spoke about
Speaker 13: would be the lifting of the blockades around the Strait
Speaker 13: of Hormos, an extension of that ceasefire, and then every
Speaker 13: opening up of the nuclear file. But how to do
Speaker 13: it in a manner whereby the US aren't offering too
Speaker 13: many concessions to Iran upfront in the form of lifting
Speaker 13: of some of those sanctions and unfreezing assets. So that's
Speaker 13: the big question mark.
Speaker 3: Now, So what is the bind that the president's in
Speaker 3: right now with Iran continuing to insist on, you know,
Speaker 3: financial support and pressure in Washington for the President not
Speaker 3: to make a bad deal. We have about a minute laught.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. And you know they
Speaker 13: used to say in Brexit around the time of Brexits
Speaker 13: and no deal is better than a bad deal. And
Speaker 13: I think in this situation it is obvious that the
Speaker 13: president does actually want to go down the path of
Speaker 13: a deal. There were many opportunities in the past week
Speaker 13: where he could have gone down the military routes. He
Speaker 13: hasn't done that. He does say that and describe the
Speaker 13: Ranians as being keen to make a deal. And certainly
Speaker 13: there's been a big push diplomatically. Cutter are emerging now
Speaker 13: as a key mediator. The focus has shifted away from
Speaker 13: Pakistan to Kutar. They're working very hard. I think all
Speaker 13: golf Arab states have also changed their tune as well.
Speaker 13: So there is going to be a big push. But again,
Speaker 13: as we've been speaking about, in all likelihoods, we will
Speaker 13: probably get a framework for an eventual peace deal, not
Speaker 13: a fully fledged, comprehensive piece deal that is going to
Speaker 13: be announced on day one.
