Here are the 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: stories we're following today. Some of the world's largest investment 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 2: banks are distancing themselves from hedge fund manager Crispin Ody 22 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: after The Financial Times published fresh allegations of sexual assault 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: against him. Be Mutu and Pop's reports. 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 5: Morgan Stanley, JB. Morgan and Gold and Sachs are all 25 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 5: said to be reviewing their links with ODI Asset Managements. 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 5: That's after fresh allegations against hedge fund manager Crispin Odi emerged. 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 5: He's accused of sexually assaulting a number of women over 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 5: several decades. Bloomberg understands the Financial Conduct Authority is in 29 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 5: the midst of a two year investigation into the asset manager, 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 5: which may be wired in to encompass the latest allegations. 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 5: ODI Asset Management says it does not recognize the picture 32 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 5: painted by the FT's reports, and a law firm representing 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 5: ODI told the Ft he strenuously disputes the allegations. In London, 34 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 5: I'm une pots of Bloomberg day Break Europe. 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been charged over his allowed refusal to 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: return classified documents found his Flowerda home. The indictment, filed 37 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: in Miami, is the first time a former president has 38 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: been charged with committing federal crimes. In a video posted 39 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: on his truth social platform, Trump denied any wrongdoing. 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 6: I'm an innocent man. We will prove that again. Seven 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 6: years of proving it, and here we go again. Very unfair, 42 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 6: but that's the way it is. 43 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: The indictment against Trump was filed under seal and contains 44 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: seven charges. Bloomberg understands that they include wilful retention of 45 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and making false statements. 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: The former president is expected to appear in a federal 47 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: court in Miami on Tuesday. 48 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: Richie Sunac is heading back to the UK after a 49 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: two day visit to Washington. The UK Prime Minister returns 50 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: with President Biden's backing for his efforts on artificial intelligence 51 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: and agreements for closer economic cooperation to shore up green 52 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: industries and supply chains. Sitting alongside Biden, Zunak had this 53 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: to say on the ties between the two nations. 54 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 7: Our economies are seeing perhaps the biggest transformation since the 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 7: Industrial Revolution, as new technologies provide incredible opportunities but also 56 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 7: give our adversaries more tools for harm. But one thing 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 7: I know won't check how confident work change is the 58 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 7: strength of our partnership, our friendship. 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: However, despite the warm words between Sunak and Biden, a 60 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: trade deal between the two countries still is elusive. The 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: US administration put previous talks on ice and has shown 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: no sign of wanting to resurrect them. 63 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: China's producer prices contracted further in May, while consumer prices 64 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: increased only slightly. Bloomberg's Brian Cursis has more from Hong Kong. 65 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 6: The CPI rose just zero point two percent from a 66 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 6: year earlier, matching estimates. But it's the PPI that is 67 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 6: more worrisome. It declined four point six percent in May, 68 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 6: far worse than the three point six percent drop in April, 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 6: and it was down more than expected as well. We're 70 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 6: hearing more and more calls for added stimulus, such as 71 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 6: are cut in interest rates. Both the onshore and offshore 72 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 6: REMMB weakened on the news in Hong Kong, Brian Curtis, 73 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 6: Bloomberg Daybreak. 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: Europe City Group is said to have dismantled its global 75 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: team that provides commentary and analysis on foreign exchange markets. 76 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 2: Sources say all jobs within this CITYFCS Global ex Strategy 77 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: team are affected. City Groups understood to have made the 78 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 2: change because other parts of the bank are offering similar services. 79 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: And Ukraine's new tanks and fighting vehicles from Western allies 80 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: are beginning to appear on the battlefield. Photos appear to 81 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: show German made Leopard tanks and US Bradley fighting vehicles 82 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: pushing toward a town in Ukraine's occupied south. President Biden 83 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: says he wants to continue to support the war efforts 84 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: in the country. 85 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 8: I believe we'll have the funding necessary to support Ukraine 86 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 8: as long as it takes, and I believe that that 87 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 8: support will be real, even though there you hear some 88 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 8: voices today on Capitol Hill about what, whther or not 89 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 8: we should continue. 90 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: Biden's administration is so far donated military aid worth more 91 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: than eight billion dollars to Ukraine. It remains unclear whether 92 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: this week's operations are Kiev's long awaited counteroffensive or part 93 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: of an effort to expose weak spots in Russian defenses. 94 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Those are our top stories on the program this morning, Lizzie. 95 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've had a chance to read 96 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: today's Bloomberg big take about artificial intelligence. Really interesting look 97 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: at the text to image generative AI technology Bloomberg analyzing 98 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: five thousand of these images using the Stable diffusion platform. 99 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: And this is something that you put text prompts in, 100 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: it generates an image for you. This confirming what anecdotally 101 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: we've been talking about for quite a while about the 102 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: biases that exist in AI really frightening reading. 103 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: In fact, Yeah, it's an incredible graphics piece this and 104 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: actually it shows that things are worse than reality, more racist, 105 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: more sexist. In this in the eyes of AI, you've 106 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: got the world run by white MAI CEOs, men with 107 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: dark skin committing crimes, and women with dark skin flipping burgers. 108 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: I think it's just really scary when some experts in 109 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: generative AI reckon that as much as ninety percent of 110 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: content online could be AI generated within the next few years. 111 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, something that is already we're starting to see an 112 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: application of this kind of technology from the likes of 113 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: Adobe or nvidiots starting to power the ads we watch. 114 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: And the fact that this exponential growth is predicted makes 115 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: this all the more worrying. But a very interesting piece 116 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: and as Lizie said, very well worth checking out on 117 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Online or on the terminal. Well, let's get more 118 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: now on that news that Donald Trump has been indicted 119 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: over his refusal to return classified documents found at as Florida, 120 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: a state OURMA and his director Roslin Matheson's with us 121 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: in the studio this morning. Good morning to you, Ras. 122 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: Can you give us an idea of what's in this 123 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: indictment and how significant this step is. 124 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 9: We're actually expecting to get more of the details later 125 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 9: today when that indictment may be And so what we 126 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 9: do know is there a seven aspects to it, and 127 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 9: what it really involves, of course, is the fact that 128 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 9: there were multiple multiple classified documents found scattered around Donald 129 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 9: Trump's personal houses and resorts well after he ceased being 130 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 9: president of the United States, and we know that they're 131 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 9: related to documents around defense security, primarily relationships with other countries, 132 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 9: and someone expecting to hear more about exactly what that 133 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 9: involves today. We're expecting that Donald Trump will have to 134 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 9: show up in a court as soon as Tuesday. From there, 135 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 9: it's a bit unclear about what happens for exactly how 136 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 9: long this might be until there is a proper criminal 137 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 9: case against him, whether he has to appear in court 138 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 9: while he's on the trail to become president again. Of course, 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 9: he has thrown his hat into the ring to be 140 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 9: the Republican nominee for twenty twenty four, so it becomes 141 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 9: at a really really sensitive time in the political calendar 142 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 9: also in the US. 143 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, surely the likes of Ronda Sun to rib in 144 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: the Huns. 145 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 9: Well, that's the thing, of course, he has actually used 146 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 9: this to energize his base, some of these cases against him, 147 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 9: civil cases, potential other criminal cases. It has really rallied 148 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 9: his supporters, and he's leading at the moment in opinion 149 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 9: polls quite some way ahead of people like Ron DeSantis, 150 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 9: who has struggled so far to get his campaign off 151 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 9: the ground. The question is, like, it really doesn't do 152 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 9: anything beyond energizing his existing base going forward. If these 153 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 9: cases really get murky and drag into the campaign, do 154 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 9: you see more moderate Republicans drifting away from him and 155 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 9: towards what seems to be a really really big Republican 156 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 9: field already to get that primary nomination for president in 157 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 9: twenty twenty four. So do you see it splintering the 158 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 9: Republican base? Of course, his hardcore supporters will always support 159 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 9: him no matter what, but doesn't mean that those other 160 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 9: supporters move away to other candidates. 161 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, are very interesting to get the context on that 162 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: news around Donald Trump. But turning to a different story 163 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: in the US that we've been watching, of course, the 164 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: meeting between the British Prime Minister Rishi Sinac and President 165 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden they agreed to open negotiations on a trade 166 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: packed during this minister this visit by the Prime Minister 167 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: to Washington, with the scope of these talks falls well 168 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: short of a free trade agreement. Ros What should we 169 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: take away from what we heard from those two leaders? 170 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: Where is this cooperation going to focus on and what 171 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: sort of a fact could it have. 172 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 9: We can see there's actually quite a good relationship between 173 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 9: Rishisunac and Joe Biden. They've met quite a bit in 174 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 9: recent months. There's a bit of a natural report going on. 175 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 9: So quite clearly the US President was trying to give 176 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 9: Rishi Sunac something he could come back with to the 177 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 9: UK and sell to his party and to the British people, 178 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 9: because of course, again there's been a failure to get 179 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 9: a proper sort of runway for a UK US trade agreement, 180 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 9: and that's something that's really been promised through the Brexit 181 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 9: period and beyond. And so you've got a bunch of 182 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 9: deals that have been packaged up into one for them 183 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 9: to announce. You know, perhaps some greater access for British 184 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 9: companies to get subsidies and other goodies under the inflation reduction. 185 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 9: Perhaps an access for British defense contractors to US deals 186 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 9: and that's not to be minimized of course, but it's 187 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 9: not the trade deal. And those things sort of add 188 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 9: up to some progress, but really there's a clear indication 189 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 9: really from the White House that they're not interested in 190 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 9: engaging and full throated FTA talks with the UK. Certainly 191 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 9: not again when Joe Biden's coming into election season, so 192 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 9: a reflection of the warmth of that relationship, but soon 193 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 9: didn't get what he wanted from this. 194 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, not the trade deal in all, but name that 195 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: UK officials were talking about behind the scenes. I wonder 196 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: how this package of initiatives compares to what the US 197 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 2: is given to other countries and the EU as well. 198 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 7: Well. 199 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 9: That's right, they have given other countries some similar things, 200 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 9: including Australia for example on the defense side. So you're 201 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 9: seeing again that orcus grouping come together in different ways. 202 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 9: And the EU of course has had some potential benefits 203 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 9: from the IRA in terms of also access for their 204 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 9: companies to subsidies and someone, although the EU would argue 205 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 9: they've got nothing like what the UK has. So certainly 206 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 9: there is that one on one relationship, that special relationship 207 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 9: that surfaces from time to time between the UK and 208 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 9: the US and as you know, really back on track 209 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 9: you will imagine after the Boris Johnson administration. But again 210 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 9: it's just not the level of the full throated FTA 211 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 9: talks that the British government is seeking, and as far 212 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 9: as they can sell it, they just can't say that 213 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 9: they've gotten what they wanted. 214 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: Okay, Rosin Masson or Amiai's director, thanks so much for 215 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: joining us with the details on those stories. As I know, 216 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: this is a visit that you were watching very closely 217 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: as well. I wonder what you took away from kind 218 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: of watching Rischie Sunak and Joe Biden yesterday. 219 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting that Rob should say that the special 220 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: relationship is back on track post Boris Johnson. I mean, 221 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: it's hard not to beat the lows of the Johnson 222 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: and Trust years when it comes to the special relationship, 223 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: and as Rod says, there is actually a natural rapport. 224 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: It's better than before. Remember Joe Biden got Rishie Sudak's 225 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: name wrong. Well this time he called him the president. 226 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: But it was quite funny the way he picked up 227 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: after that. In fact, Sunak said that their wives have 228 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: met so often in recent months. Even though this was 229 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: the first official trip to Washington. The leaders of five 230 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: Times now their wives have been doing spin class together. 231 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: But I'll leave the political spin jokes to you, Stephen. 232 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: Thanks Lizzie up next to metas land grab and getting 233 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: career advice from a rum. 234 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 4: Come now the paper review on blue Bird Daybreak Europe. 235 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 4: The news you need to know from today's papers. 236 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: Mrs James Wilcock joins us now for a look at 237 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: what's in the papers. James, Emily and Paris is being 238 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: talked about in the Times. 239 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 4: Please explain. 240 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I would love to, Lizzie, but I mean 241 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 3: it's a difficult one because it comes from a French 242 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: tourism board choose Paris region, and they have the numbers 243 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: to back this up. They say, of all the bankers 244 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: who are leaving London to move to mainland Europe, most 245 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: are going to Paris, five hundred moved there, versus say Frankfurt, 246 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: which is the next biggest, with one thy eight hundred. 247 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 3: The weird part is they're putting a lot of it 248 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: down to Netflix series Emily in Paris, which they're saying 249 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: has changed perceptions and made people think that they would 250 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: rather if they were moving to Europe from London, moved 251 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: to Paris because it would be more fun, sexier, and 252 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: it's changing opinions about French people being rude than say, 253 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: moved to Frankfurt. Stephen, as a ten year resident of Paris, 254 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 3: dold you agree with that? 255 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 6: I mean, I. 256 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Sure, why not? But I think that they're even without 257 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: Emily in Paris. I think most people probably have a 258 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: more glamorized image of Paris than they do of Frankfurt, 259 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: which is also a lovely city, it has to be said. 260 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: But look, it's interesting that they're leaning into the stereotypes 261 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: as loads and million Paris about how it presents a 262 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: disnified version of the city and doesn't expose some of 263 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: the problems that exist in lots of big cities. But also, 264 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, things like homelessness that are very very much 265 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: visible in Powers, not of course featured in a Netflix series. 266 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 2: I have to say, the worst character of Emily in 267 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: Paris was the banker. So why anyone would want to 268 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: model themselves on the British banker in Paris? 269 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 5: I have no idea. 270 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 3: The other side of it, right is I went and 271 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 3: looked at Bloomberg's housing track and thinking maybe it's the prices. Well, 272 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: it must be the culture in the Netflix series because 273 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: Paris per square meter is eleven and thirty four euros, 274 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: whereas London is still as also in euros eight three 275 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: hundred and forty six. So it's cheap as a stay 276 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: in London. But I guess if you're going. 277 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: To buy, yes, except there are small apartments are generally 278 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: smaller in Paris, so you're looking for somewhere to live. 279 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: It can be more affordable to buy somewhere to live 280 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: in central Paris, and it will be in central London. 281 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 4: Anyway. 282 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: That is quite enough about that particular story. Let's go 283 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: to the FTX and they're reporting on Norzea oil. 284 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: Yes, and this is an induestany one is we head 285 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: up to the election because the Lake Party have said 286 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: it will end new gas and drilling licenses in the 287 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: North Sea. But the ft're writing about how Rishi's Sounats 288 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: government are planning to put in a floor on their 289 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 3: levee on oil and gas users. So what this is 290 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: is there is a windfall tax currently on profits in 291 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: the oil and gas industry, but as energy prices have 292 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: dropped down, they are potentially suggesting this is a coin 293 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: to people familiar who briefed the government's plans for the 294 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: FT that that would fade away once energy price has 295 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: reached a certain level. Now, I don't mean to criticize 296 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 3: the FT. You know, they are a very well respected organization. 297 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 3: I talk about the lot on the papers. But Joe 298 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: May has had the story back in March, so May 299 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: exactly so you could have read that his reporting on 300 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: that months ago. I will say, but what's fascinating here 301 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: is where this goes next, because even if this floor 302 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: goes away now, I found it fascinating to read Gary Smith, 303 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: general sectory of the GMB Union last month, urged Starmer 304 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: to keep drilling, saying that actually the UK will keep 305 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: on leaving these resources, so expect this deal and where 306 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 3: nor See oil goes to spin on and on and on, 307 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 3: even after the announcement that is set to come very shortly. 308 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: And finally, James, let's just look at the Wall Street Journal. 309 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: They have the inside story on Meta's internal meeting. 310 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: Yes, and they are apparently planning to launch a Twitter 311 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: clone very soon. I went onto the Verge who have 312 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: the screenshots of it. It looks remarkably similar. And Meta's 313 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 3: chief product off to Chris Cox told apparently employees internally 314 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: their main goal is to quote run it more sanely 315 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 3: than Twitter, and so this is that big move of 316 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: Elon Musk has taken out of Twitter and now big 317 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 3: rival see as a chance to muscle in. Also brought 318 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 3: up in that meeting Lizzy, apart from just the Twitter 319 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 3: nerds like me, another journalists AI and their response to 320 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: what they're going to do about Apple's big new VR headsets. 321 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: They meta want to do one that is worth hundred 322 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 3: dollars versus Apple's three five hundred dollars, So you can 323 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 3: see the different way the markets are going there. 324 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe.
