1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Doug Krisner. We'll begin with today's report on US consumer prices.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: These numbers support the notion of a FED rate cut

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: in September. Here's Bloomberg's Nidel Judaice.

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: Core consumer prices eased for a fourth month in July,

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: rising three point two percent from a year earlier, the

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: slowest pace and three years. Apparel and auto costs declined,

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: as did airfares. Hospital services posted a record drop. FED

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: officials next meet on interest rates in mid September, with

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: inflation on a downward trend as the economy shifts in

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: a lower gear. Nonetheless, the cost of living is higher

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: than before the pandemic hurting many American families. Vinny del Judice,

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Radio.

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Apple, because today we were told

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: the company is moving forward with development of a pricey

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: tabletop home device. Here's Bloomberg's Mark German.

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: It's a robotic neck connected to an iPad. It can

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: swivel three hundred and sixty degrees and move up and down,

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,279
Speaker 3: move around on top of a table or a desk.

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: They're all in on robotics right now. Robotics is the

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: next big thing at Apple. They're talking about humanoids. They're

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: talking about mobile robots that go around your home.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Mark German there now. This new device was envisioned

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: as a smart home command center combined with the ability

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: to do video conferencing and then our remote controlled home

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: security tool. This project, by the way, was approved by

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Apple execs back in twenty twenty two. It's only been recently, though,

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: that the project has started to ramp up. The President

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: of Columbia University min Saphique has resigned. Safik's departure follows

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: months of criticism over her handling of the protest over

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: the Israel Hamas war.

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 4: Now.

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: In a statement, Shaffique said, it has been a period

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: of turmoil where it's been difficult to overcome divergent views

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: across the Columbia community. Now, the timing was unexpected, especially

36
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: since the first day of the fall semester is less

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: than three weeks away. The World Health Organization has declared

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: a fast spreading empo's outbreak in Africa as a global

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: health emergency. The WHO is now attempting to contain the

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: spread of this potentially deadly virus. Here is WHO Director

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: General Tedrose Adenom Gabreus.

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: WHI has been working on the mpok's outbreak in Africa

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: and raising the alarm that this is something that should

44
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: concern us all. The Emergency Committee met and advised me

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 4: that in its view, the situation constitutes a publical emergency

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: of international concern.

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: That's WHO Director General tedrose Adenom Gabreeasis at a news

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: conference in Geneva. This mutated strain of empocs causes painful

49
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: rashes and lesions. It has spread to at least six

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: African countries, infecting about fifteen thousand people and killing more

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: than five hundred. Ukraine's top commander says his forces have

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: advanced another mile or more into Russia's Kirsk border region,

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: and from the Russia side, the Kremlin says it has

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: fended off one of the biggest attacks of the incursion

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: so far. Here is Bloomberg's Lisa Matteo.

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 5: Visited down about one hundred and seventeen drones, also down

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 5: about four tactical missiles over various regions, and they were

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 5: also on confirmed reports of strikes on other Russian air fields. Now,

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: the governor rushes Belgaroon region, which borders northeastern Ukraine announced

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 5: the state of emergency.

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's Lisa Matteo, Donald Trump is downplaying the

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: significance of the economy as he shifts campaign strategy. More

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: from Bloomberg's Ed Baxter.

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 6: Trump has traditionally had an advantage when it comes to

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 6: the economy as an election issue, but campaigning in North Carolina,

66
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 6: talking about his age, he said they wanted to do

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 6: a speech on the economy. They say it's the most

68
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 6: important subject. I'm not so sure it is. Then he

69
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 6: went on to say inflation is the most important, but

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 6: then at it, that's part of the economy. He also

71
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 6: seemed to change his mind on the Affordable Care Act.

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: She goes around saying, well, he's going to get rid

73
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: of the health No. No, I'm going to keep it

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: unless we could come up with something that's better for

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: you and less expensive for you. Otherwise we're not doing it.

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 6: Congressional Republicans have tried to repeal it. Ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: Suspected attempts by Iranian hackers to infiltrate US presidential campaigns

78
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: have touched off a widening federal investigation. This appears to

79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: be the first major effort by a foreign actor to

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: disrupt the November election. Bloomberg's Amy Morris has more from Washington.

81
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 7: The FBI inquiry began after a report from Microsoft described

82
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 7: efforts by the Iranian government to access email accounts of

83
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 7: presidential campaign staff members. In addition, Google says the Iranian

84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 7: hackers in May and in June targeted the personal email

85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 7: accounts of roughly a dozen individuals affiliated with President Biden

86
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 7: and former President Trump. Google blocked numerous attempts by those

87
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 7: attackers to log into those personal email accounts, and Google

88
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 7: says the Iranian hackers successfully gained access to the personal

89
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 7: Gmail account of one high profile political consultant, who it

90
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 7: did not identify. In Washington, amymore as Bloomberg Radio.

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: And Minnesota Governor Tim Walls has agreed to participate in

92
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,080

93
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,840

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: It said the network had invited Walls and Republican vice

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: presidential nominee jd Vance to debate now. The candidates were

96
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: offered two dates in September and two dates in October

97
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,000
