1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: It was when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now,

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm Doug Prisner. Israel is bracing for a possible attack

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: from Iran as well as regional militias. This would be

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: in retaliation for assassinations of Hezbollah and Hamas officials. Now

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: the US has sent defensive military reinforcements while at the

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: same time pressing for Agaza ceasefire. Here is Bloomberg's Michael Heath.

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: There's another report out just saying that the US has

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: said that Hesbola could attack Israel within twenty four hours.

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: Hesblas obviously based in Lebanon. That was during a conference

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: call with the US allies, and again it was trying

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: to put some diplomatic pressure on Lebanon on Hesbela to

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: minimize their retaliation, to keep it below that threshold where

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: this sort of escalates.

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: That's Bloomberg's Michael Heath. The US, the UK, Canada, and

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: other countries are now urging their citizens to leave Barut.

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: France has also told its citizens to get out of Iran.

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly in the final stretch

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: of choosing her running mate. We have more from Bloomberg's

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: Ed Baxter Three people.

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: On her short list met with her over the weekend.

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: Governor Tim Walls. Kentucky Governor Andy Basher, Transportation Secretary Pete Budachic,

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 3: and Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker also are names that

24
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 3: are still being floated now. The Democratic Party is planning

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: the virtually nominated ticket by August seventh, and Harris has

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: said that she plans to at the campaign trail with

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 3: her running mate tomorrow ed Baxter Bloomberg.

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: Radio Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado emerged from hiding

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: on Saturday to lead it a rally in Caracas. She

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: did so in defiance of the government's threat to imprison her.

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Opposition leaders think the July twenty eighth election was a

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: theft by President Nicholas Maduro. On Friday, Maduro alleged the

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: opposition was planning an attack with grenades less than two

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: miles away from the planned protest site. Machado's standing candidate

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: is ed Mundo Gonzalez. Detailed election results provided by the

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: opposition show he took nearly seventy percent of the vote,

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: nearly twice Maduro share. US Secretary of State Antony Blinkin

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: earlier recognized Gonzales as the winner. We're seeing a sell

39
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: off in equities across the Asia Pacific.

40
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Now.

41
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: A portion of this selling is tied to a very

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: weak jobs report in the US and concern about a

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: hard landing. We have the Japanese yen rallying at this

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: hour against the dollar. Much of this has to do

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: with the yen carry trade being unwound aggressively, and as

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: a result of the end strength, Japanese equities are plunging

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: for a third day. The Nike is down by more

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: than six percent. Details in a moment, Berkshire Hathaway has

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: slashed its stake in Apple by nearly half. This is

50
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: part of a massive second quarter selling spree. We have

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: more from Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: Berkshire sold seventy five and a half billion dollars worth

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: of stock on a net basis in the period. That

54
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: is way more than somewhere expecting, and that sent the

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: cash pile at billionaire Warren Buffett's conglomerate to a record

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 4: two hundred seventy six point nine billion dollars. Meantime, Berkshire

57
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: did repurchase about three hundred and forty five million dollars

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: of its own shares during the quarter, but that's the

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: least since the company changed its buyback policy in twenty eighteen.

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: Operating earnings at Berkshire rose to eleven point six billion

61
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 4: dollars in the quarter, up from ten billion dollars from

62
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: the same period a year ago. Denise Pellgrity, Bloomberg Radio.

63
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: TikTok, and its Chinese parent byte Dance are now facing

64
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: more legal trouble in the US. We have more from

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons.

66
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: In Washington, TikTok is being sued by the US for

67
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 5: allegedly collecting data on children in violation of an online

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: Privacy Act. The Justice Department says the app that's owned

69
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: by the Chinese company by Dance, has allowed millions of

70
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 5: children under the age of thirteen to create accounts without

71
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 5: their parents' knowledge or consent, and official state TikTok made

72
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: it hard for parents to request deletion of a child's account.

73
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 5: TikTok says many of the claims are inaccurate or have

74
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 5: been addressed. In Washington, Nancy Lyons Bloomberg Radio.

75
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: In the Paris game, Scottis Shchffler delivered his best performance

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: of the year. He rallied from four shots behind on

77
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Sunday with a nine under par sixty two to win

78
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: the Olympic gold medal in men's golf in a thriller.

79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: Scheffler is already a six time winner on the PGA

80
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Tour this year, including his second Master's title, and in tennis,

81
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Novak Djokovic won his first Olympic gold medal by beating

82
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: Carlos Alcarez in the men's tennis final. The medal count

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: as it stands the US seventy one, China forty five,

84
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: France forty four, and in terms of gold the US

85
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: and China e f nineteen. That is news when you

86
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Doug Chrisner and

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,080
