1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: News when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now. I'm

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Doug Prisner, and we begin with the latest on the

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. On Thursday evening in

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: or In, Utah, authorities held a media briefing and showed

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: surveillance video footage of the suspected shooter as he ran

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: across the roof of a building after the shooting and

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: then dropped to the ground. Authorities are still working to

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: identify the shooter, and they are asking for the public's

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: help with the offer of a reward of up to

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars for information related to the killing.

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: Here is Utah Governor Spencer Cox.

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: We cannot do our job without the public's help. Right now,

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: the public has answered our call for action. So far,

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: we've received more than seven thousand leads and tips.

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: I just know that the.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: FBI hasn't received this many digital media tips from the

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: public since the Boston Marathon bombing.

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: That was Utah Governor Spencer Cox. Earlier today, federal investigator

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: said they recovered the right full used in the shooting.

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: It was found wrapped in a towel holding cartridges inscribed

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: with messages linked to anti fascist and transgender ideology. Open

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Ai and its largest investor Microsoft have reached a preliminary

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: agreement about a change to open ai structure. For months,

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: these companies have been holding talks on shifting open ai

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: away from its current nonprofit structure. This preliminary agreement would

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: pave the way for open ai to restructure into a

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: more traditional for profit company, but there are some hurdles.

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: The plan is being opposed by Elon Musk, and state

29
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: attorney generals for California and Delaware are now raising questions

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: about safety of AI products, development and deployment. Meantime, we

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: are told the leaders of both open ai and Nvidia

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: are planning to pledge support for billions of dollars in

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: UK data center investments when they visit the country next week.

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: We go to Brazil next where Jaire Bolsonaro was sentenced

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: today to twenty seven years and three months in prison

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: for plotting a coup after his twenty twenty two defeat

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: in a presidential election. Four or five justices on Brazil

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: Supreme Court found Bolsonaro guilty on five counts. Now the

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: sentence prompted reaction from President Trump, who spoke earlier with

40
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: the reporters before boarding marine. I well, I watched that trial.

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: I know him pretty well, Barrin leader, who's a good

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: I thought he was a good president of Brazil, and

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: it's very surprising that that could happen. That's very much

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: like they tried to do with me. But they didn't

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: get away with it at all. But I can always

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: say this, I knew him as president of Brazil. He

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: was a good man.

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: There was President Trump speaking there. Now Bolsonaro is currently

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: under house arrest and he can appeal his sentence. We

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: turn to Business news next. The newly formed Paramount Skydance

51
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: is preparing a bid for rival Warner Brothers Discovery. We

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: are told this mostly cash offer will be for the

53
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: entire company. Here is Bloomberg's Caroline Hyde.

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: So many people feel that fundamentally, this is what we

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: need to see in the industry consolidation. You're seeing David

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: Zaslav over at Warner a Brother's Discovery, unwinding the deal

57
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: he did several years ago. Because ultimately, you've got cable

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: on one side and then you have studios and streaming

59
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: on the other. You want to split those apart, and

60
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 4: likelihood is paramount. Would be interested in the.

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Studios Roombrigs Caroline Hide there now. Last year, Warner announced

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: plans to restructure into two divisions, one focused on cable TV,

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: the other on streaming and studios. Meantime, CNBC is reporting

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: a deal could close as soon as next week. Today's

65
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: shares in Paramount's guidance We're up fifteen percent. Warner Brothers

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Discovery rallied twenty nine percent. After the bell, we heard

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: from Adobe. The company delivered a bullish forecast for revenue

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: in the current quarter. Sales are projected to rise to

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: six point one to three billion dollars. That is slightly

70
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: ahead of Wall Street expectations. Sarah Kunsti is managing director

71
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: at Cleo Capital.

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 5: People are digging out digital cameras from twenty years years

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: ago to use to shoot ad campaigns because they like

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: the grainy look. They like the imperfect look, and what

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: that means for the adobes of the world is, hey,

76
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: maybe you're not editing as much.

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: That is Sarah kunstev Cleo Capital. Now analysts have been

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: looking for signs Adobe can compete in the rapidly evolving

79
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: AI landscape. Given increased pressure from rivals, Shares in Adobe

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: right now are up by more than two and a

81
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,160
