00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow.

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: Here are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: Karen, we begin with new risk in the Middle East.

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: A ship was attacked on the Strait of Horror Moves yesterday.

00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: deal between the US and Iran went into effect last week.

00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Abira bu Omar in Dubai.

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 4: What we know from American sources is that they're not

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 4: pointing the finger just yet at Iran, but that could

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 4: be very likely the case. And it could be because

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 4: this ship, the middle sized ship that had passed through

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 4: the Strait of Removes, passed through through the waterway that

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: is closer to the Gulf of Alman or the part

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: of the strait that hugs the coast of Ahman, while

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 4: Iran has been trying to maintain the movement through the

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 4: coasts that are closer to its borders, to be able

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: to sort of maintain the movement in a way that

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 4: works in accordance with its own rules.

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's a bierrabo Omar reports The attack has led some

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: ship owners to review their exit plans, but traffic does

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: continue to move in both directions through the strait. President

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: Trump has not directly addressed the episode, but he says

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: Iran is focused on the peace process.

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 5: They want to make a deal with us very badly,

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 5: and we probably will.

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 6: I think we will. But the straighter is open.

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: President Trump spoke at a White House event with farmers

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: where he announced an eleven point one billion dollar aid

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: requests for the agriculture sector. President says Iran will use

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: its unfrozen assets to buy US wheed and soybeans. He

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,119

Speaker 3: no details of the plan and opposed on social media,

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: made after he received a briefing from the head of

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: his security service on strikes against Russi targets. Ukraine has

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,520

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,480

Speaker 2: DC area.

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: They have a much of collapsed buildings and so they'll

51
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: need a lot of help in terms of digging through that.

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 5: The airport there is badly.

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: Damaged, so we'll have to rely on the Department of

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 3: War to deploy assets there.

55
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: Secretary of State Rubio says the US will also assist

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: with Venezuela's longer term needs. More than a dozen other

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: countries and the United Nations have also pledged aid. Acting

00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: Venezuelan President Delsi Rodriguez says more than two hundred and

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: Let's turn to the markets now, Nathan, where tech fears

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: are weighing on stocks around the world. As we close

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: out the trading week is sell off and Samsung Electronics

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,440

Speaker 3: In South Korea, the COSTP index dropped nearly six percent.

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: A couple of things concerning investors include Apple's decision yesterday

69
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: to raise prices on many products. That's raising fears that

70
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: rising component costs could eventually curb demand and slow the

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320

Speaker 7: That's actually shown how there's not unlimited money in the market.

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 7: If the chip makers are benefiting, then the product makers

77
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 7: are going to suffer. So it's the first sign that

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 7: it's not in an endless rally.

79
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,560

100
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 9: The paper says bankers advising the company on its IPO

101
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 9: plans cautioned that recent volatility in tech stocks as well

102
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 9: as in SpaceX's shares following its record IPO, could damp

103
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 9: an enthusiasm. The time, says CEO Sam Altman, is pushing advisors,

104

Speaker 9: including bankers and lawyers, to target a valuation of a

105
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,920

Speaker 3: City Groups strategist Nathan say it's too early to call

116
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: an end to the Ai trade. The team, led by

117
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: Dirk Willer, says equities are likely to keep churning higher

118

119
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,840

00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 10: Ranking committee member Rosa Deloro of Connecticut asked Secretary Mullen

133
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 10: how the department can justify the move after all the

134
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 10: sacrifices made by TSA workers during what she called the

135
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 10: Republican shutdown. Mullen took issue with that.

136
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: Well, actually it was the Democrats that voted every time

137
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: to shut them down.

00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 8: And I answered your question. You're the one that shut

142
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 8: them down?

143
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 10: Was the Democrats shutdown? You know, these people come to

144
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 10: us to get funding for their for the works that they.

145
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000

153
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: It's intended to serve as a temporary plane until a

154
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: new fleet of Boeing jets arrives. President Trump had defended

155
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: accepting the gift from Katar, saying it would be foolish

156
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,400

00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: other stories making news in New York and around the world.

161
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael bar Michael,

162
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: good morning.

163
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 11: Good morning Karon. A campaign promise from New York City

164
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 11: Mayor Zora Memdani has been fulfilled. The Rent Guidelines Board

165
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 11: voted last night seven to one to freeze rents for

166
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 11: nearly one million rent stabilized apartments. The freeze applies to

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 11: both one and two year leases. In a statement, Memdani said,

168
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 11: this is a historic victory for New York City tenants.

169
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 11: This tenant was at the meeting.

170
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 12: For years, landlords had run this city and this is

171
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 12: like a new era of tenant power. We have a

172
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 12: rent freeze, Mayor dozens for one hundreds of people came

173
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 12: out and tested five thousands online, like the landlord's days

174
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 12: are over. Tennis eera in power now and it feels amazing.

175
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 11: The real estate industry is against the rent freeze, claiming

176
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 11: it would hurt landlord's ability to maintain their buildings.

177
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 9: The whole process is such a post.

178
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 11: Audio courtesy of ABC seven. Discussions are said to have

179
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 11: stopped for now about a possible plea deal for Luigi Mangioni,

180
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 11: who is accused of killing a United Healthcare CEO on

181
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 11: a Manhattan street. Mangione who has pleaded not guilty heads

182
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 11: back to court on Monday. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office

183
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 11: has decided to drop a rape case against Harvey Weinstein

184
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 11: after two consecutive juries failed to reach a verdict on

185
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 11: the charge. The DA's office is said to have consulted

186
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 11: with the alleged rape victim, Jessica Man, who wants to

187
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 11: move on with their life. Weinstein still faces prison time

188
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 11: for a California conviction. A top official at the National

189
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 11: Park Service, as a liner along the attom of the

190
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 11: Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, was cut with a sharp knife

191
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 11: or razor, causing damage to the foam sealant installed as

192
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 11: part of a sixteen million dollar rehabilitation project. Frank Lan's,

193
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 11: deputy director of Operations for the Park Service, said about

194
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 11: seventy fence post tops were also thrown into the pool.

195
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 11: Lands made statements in a court document as part of

196
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 11: a lawsuit filed by a nonprofit organization to halt the

197
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 11: administration's work on the project. Meanwhile, work to drain the

198
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 11: pool also faces algae issues, and it won't happen until

199
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 11: the fourth of July. Luble News twenty four hours a

200
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 11: day and whenever you want it with the Bloomberg News

201
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 11: Now now Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg Karen.

202
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: Thanks Michael. A time now for our Bloomberg Sports update,

203
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: and for that we bring in John stash Hour.

204
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 6: Thanks John. The World Cup team played in Los Angeles

205
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 6: was essentially meaningless for both teams, the US already having

206
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 6: won its group, Turkey already knowing it's going home. After

207
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 6: the game, Turkey a scored late game three to two,

208
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 6: and now the US gets ready for a knockout round

209
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 6: game next Wednesday. Another big trade of the NBA, Minnesota

210
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 6: made the Julius Randall to Brooklyn trade, and now the

211
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 6: Timberwolves have acquired star point guard LaMelo Ball from Charlotte

212
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 6: in exchange for nas reading four draft picks. That to

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 6: the Bloomberg Sports Update.

214
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: Stay with us. More from Bloomberg day Break coming up

215
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,240

219
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. An attack on a ship

220
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: in the Strait of Horror Moves is pointing to the

221
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: risk to Middle East shipping even with an interim peace

222
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: steal and effect between the US and Iran, President Trump

223
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: says the deal is still intact.

224
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: We knocked the hell out of them, and now we're

225
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: negotiating from a position of pure strike pier strength.

226
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 12: They know that, and the straits already and we're.

227
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 11: Setting records in this.

228
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: I was President Trump at a White House event with

229
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: farmers last night, joining us from Dubai this morning. Is

230
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's head of Middle East coverage, Stuart Livingston. Wallace, Stuart,

231
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 2: what more do we know about this attack? What could

232
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: it mean for the negotiating position between the US and Iran?

233
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning, Nathan. I mean, at the moment,

234
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: the details are not entirely clear. I mean specifically who

235
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 5: exactly carried out the attack, and as of now, no

236
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 5: one has really claimed responsibility for it. However, we can

237
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 5: read into it certain important points, which is, this ship

238
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: was traveling in the so called Southern Corridor, hugging the

239
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: coast of Oman, which is obviously the alternative route to

240
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 5: the Northern Passageway, which hugs the coast of Iran, and

241
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 5: therefore one might presume that it was perhaps a warning

242
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 5: of sorts not to use that southern route and to

243
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 5: stick to the one close to the Ranian coast. And

244
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 5: from that you can extrapolate that there is pressure from

245
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 5: Iran that it wants to maintain the control over hormones

246
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 5: and ultimately would like to extract a revenue stream from

247
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 5: all the ships that go through there every day, which

248
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 5: you know, we don't know quite what that toll would

249
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 5: look like, whether indeed it would be called a toll

250
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 5: or a fee, but we're talking about billions and billions

251
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 5: of dollars every year, you would presume in terms of

252
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 5: what that means for the negotiations, it's going to be

253
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 5: very difficult because so far the red line for the

254
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 5: US and for many of its allies and in even

255
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 5: most of the region has been that that the Strait

256
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 5: must remain an area of free passage for international commas.

257
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: And to that point, we heard from Secretary of State

258
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio talking about the difficulties that he sees around

259
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: charging any kind of fees for whether it's tolling or

260
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: insurance or whatever you want to call it, through the

261
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: Strait of Hormones. But just sixty days to negotiate a

262
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: broader piece deal, could this situation the status of the

263
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: strait of hormones bog things down toward a more permanent deal.

264
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean absolutely, it's going to be a problem

265
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: going forward. I would say it's one of a number

266
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 5: of problems. I mean, it's probably the most pressing because

267
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 5: that's the one that's had the immediate impact on the

268
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: global economy far and wide, and will continue to do

269
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 5: so despite the recent drop in oil prices. You know,

270
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: we're a long way from going back to normal in

271
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: terms of global energy supply. But in terms of that

272
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 5: sixty day timeframe, I'm not sure how many people actually

273
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: believe that we'll get anything done in sixty days. The

274
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 5: last major nuclear agreement we had with Iran, the JCPOA,

275
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 5: took the better part of two years. Wasn't quite years,

276
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: but pretty much there. So I suppose in theory they

277
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: could use that as the basis of the current negotiations,

278
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 5: but that seems quite unlikely. So I think the expectation

279
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 5: is that will probably be extended. But then you add

280
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 5: to that all the huge problems on top of their

281
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 5: not just the nuclearile, not just hour moves, but also

282
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 5: the issue of ballistic missiles, of sanctions, of frozen assets,

283
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: support for It's a very very long list, and they're

284
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 5: all very very thorny issues.

285
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: And when it comes to this attack yesterday, Stuart, how

286
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: is it affecting traffic through the Strait of horror moves?

287
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 11: Now?

288
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: We had heard from the President that something like nineteen

289
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: million barrels of oil had gone through the Strait in

290
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: just one day. Is it starting to have an impact

291
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: on the level of flows through the Strait now?

292
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 5: It's very difficult to say, because it's always been a

293
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 5: little bit patchy, and a lot of the ships going

294
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 5: through continue to turn off their signals, which means that

295
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: often we don't discover that they've gone through until several

296
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 5: days later when they emerge somewhere in the Indian Ocean

297
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 5: or off the coast of somewhere quite far away. So

298
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 5: I can't really give you defind advance of What I

299
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 5: can say, which I think is difficult to argue against,

300
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 5: is that as far as the international shipping industry is concerned,

301
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 5: the fact that you can still get attack going through

302
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 5: there is going to make them very cautious about moving ships,

303
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 5: either in or route. And just one example, the International

304
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 5: Maritime Organized was working on an evacuation plan for the

305
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: hundreds of ships still stuck inside the Persian Gulf. As

306
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: of now, that's suspended because again they can't guarantee safety

307
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 5: coming through horror moves. So I think it's going to

308
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: be something that develops over the next several weeks. We'll

309
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 5: see if there are a further attacks, what the negotiations

310
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 5: look like. What's telling is that the Sultan of Oman

311
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 5: is going to be in France next week. I believe

312
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 5: and you presume that horr moves will be very high

313
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 5: on the agenda. I think the Omani position is going

314
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,840
