Meanwhile, 49 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: the US has backed off any suggestion that its officials 50 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: with boycott Group of Twenty meetings this week if Russia 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: takes part.

In 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: an interview with Bloomberg, Reinhart laid out the downside risks 57 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: facing the global economy, array of disruptions from China's new lockdowns, 58 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: from the impacts yet to be fully felt of the 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine war on on food prices, on global supply chains, 60 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: and if you know, bad came to worse, Uh, could 61 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: there be another episode of financial contagion? The World Bank 62 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: Chief economist Carmen Reinhart says growth will slow to three 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: point two percent from a January prediction of four point 64 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: one percent. Meanwhile, Nathan Saying, Louis FED President James Bullard 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: said the FED needs to move quickly to raise rates 66 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: to around three and a half percent this year. He 67 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: also says that central bank should not roll out rate 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: increases of seventy five basis points to fight inflation. I 69 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: would point out that uh cycle UH where we raised 70 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: the policy rate three basis points in the year, and 71 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: in that cycle, UH, there was a seventy five basis 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: points increase at one point UM. So I wouldn't rule 73 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: it out, but it's not my base case here, saying 74 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: theist FED president James Bullard also said that talk of 75 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: a US recession is premature. Well, Bullard's hawk ish comments 76 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: maybe piling onto weakness for a traditional haven currency. The 77 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: Japanese yen is weaker against the dollar for a thirteenth 78 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: straight day. It's extending its longest losing streak in at 79 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 1: least a half century. Right now, the end is trading 80 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: at one point three four against the dollar. Now. The 81 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: latest on the pandemic Nathan and a major development in 82 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: the air, The Transportation Security Administration says it will no 83 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: longer enforce the COVID mask mandate on public transportation, and 84 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: Bloombergette Baxter has the story. This after a Florida judge 85 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: struck down the remainder of the mandate, saying the CDC 86 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: went too far. The t s A says for now 87 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: it will not enforce a masking bandate. White House Folks 88 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: Women Jimsaki says the ruling is disappointing. We also think 89 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: the mask commandate should be in place and that it's 90 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: safer for individuals for flying to continue to wear masks. 91 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: So the major US air carriers have now made masking 92 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: optional for the time being. Delta United Southwest Alaska, American. 93 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: Some of the international flights will continue to have the 94 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: mandate for now.

Let's get 265 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: into all this this morning, Bloomberg Washington correspondent Joe Matthews 266 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: with US host of Sound on here on Bloomberg Radio. Joe, 267 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: let's start with the war in Ukraine. As we've been mentioning, 268 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: the President, Vladimir z Olinski is saying that the new 269 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: phase is under way now in the Don Boss and 270 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: we understand President Biden is going to be holding another 271 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: call with allies to weigh the response. A lot of 272 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: these calls. The latest one will happen this afternoon with 273 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, Poland, Romania, 274 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: the UK. They're gonna be talking about the war effort 275 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: and specifically coordinating the delivery of weapons. You know, we've 276 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: been sending weapons to Ukraine, not just the US but 277 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: our European allies now for a couple of months, Nathan, 278 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: and and the repeated refrain that we hear from Kiev 279 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: is we need more, better, faster. A lot of this 280 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: stuff is taking time to get there. And now that, 281 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: as you point out, President Zelenski is calling this, uh 282 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: the new phase, the battle for done Boss has begun. 283 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: There is a new urgency to get some of the 284 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: heavier equipment in the hands of Ukrainian forces. What kind 285 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: of equipment show are we talking about here? We've heard 286 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: the talk in the past about fighter jets. It seemed 287 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: like that was off the table. What what, what sort 288 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: of equipment could we be looking at? Those fighter jets 289 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: appear to still be off the table, by the way, 290 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: the big twenty nines from Poland that never got to Ukraine. 291 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: Although we have been apparently clearing helicopters m I seven teams, 292 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: which are Russian helicopters. We already gave several earlier this year. 293 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: More on the way. But the idea with these weapons, Nathan, 294 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: is to create some distance. This is gonna be a 295 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: slightly different strategy now as we head into open warfare 296 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: in rural country sort of areas as opposed to the 297 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: street to street city fighting. Howitzer's are a major component 298 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: of this. The big field cannons that can shoot projectiles 299 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: at very long trajectors twenty five miles away. These are 300 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: the types of weapons that we want to get over 301 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: there now that are actually in transit, along with missiles 302 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: ground to air missiles that can take out Russian jets 303 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: and could in fact be more effective than the big 304 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: according to the Pentagon, is there still a concern Joe, 305 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: that more heavy weaponry could draw the US and NATO 306 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: more directly into the war. We saw that attack apparently 307 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: just yesterday in Leviv, very close to the border of Poland, 308 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: only about forty miles away. That's a big deal. That's 309 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,239 Speaker 1: been a base for refugees, for government officials, uh and 310 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: for news media, the reporters all over Laviv, crossing back 311 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: and forth. Of course, the president was along the border 312 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: of Poland not that far from there. And so yes, 313 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: there are a lot of concerns about this widening sort 314 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: of conflict here. And it was just on Sunday morning 315 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: that Senator Chris Coons, the Democrat from Delaware who now 316 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: sits in the seat once held by Joe Biden, a 317 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: very close ally to to Biden, and this White House 318 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: suggested openly on Sunday Morning television that we start having 319 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: the conversation about American ground troops potentially being in Ukraine. 320 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: It's something that the President has drawn the line on, 321 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: says he won't do it. But this conversation for being 322 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: started by a Democrat is remarkable. At this time with 323 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: atrocities just building up on one on top of the other, 324 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: and and horrifying images coming from Ukraine, the pressure on 325 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: this White House when it comes to troops could escalate 326 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: in the coming weeks. And on the last minute, we 327 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: have here Joe speaking of pressure on the White House. 328 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: It looks like it's buckled, perhaps on the mask mandate 329 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: in the air about it. This is following, of course, 330 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court knocking down the Biden administrations vax or 331 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: mask mandate for the workplace. Uh. The CDC came out 332 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: last night said the mandate is over. Before that, Press 333 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: Secretary Jensaki said the dj was refewing reviewing the decision 334 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: that there may or may not be a legal answer 335 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: to this.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. We want to 598 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: turn now to what's happening in currency markets, and the 599 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: big mover this morning is the Japanese yen. That currency 600 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: is weaker against the dollar for a thirteen straight session, 601 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: extending the longest losing streak for the end and at 602 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: least a half century. Joining us for more on this 603 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: is Stephen Gallo, FX strategist at Bank of Montreal Capital Markets. Steven, 604 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: it's good to speak with you this morning. What's behind 605 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: the short bets for the end? Well, I think the 606 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: fear factors here. Um. The short end position in G 607 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: ten has been the FX markets preferred short. One reason 608 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: for this is that unlike Europe, the event risk is 609 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: pretty low. Um. The b o J basically gave the 610 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: green light for a weaker yen and its last policy decision, 611 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: and then you've got the flows picture of kind current 612 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: account in FDI flows i've generally been trending weaker. There 613 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: also seemed to be splits between the Ministry of Finance 614 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: and the b o J over which direct UM. So 615 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: the FX market I think is feeding off this policy uncertainty. 616 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,760 Speaker 1: I think there is also a segment of the market 617 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: UH that is front umming UH potential again weakness in 618 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: anticipation of unheaged UH flows from Japanese accounts into US debt. 619 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: But UM, so far we don't have clear evidence yet 620 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: that's real flow from Japanese investors are showing up the 621 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: weekly data that we track UM on UM flow on 622 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: Japanese flows UM, it's generally shown Japanese investors as net 623 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: sellers of our inn debts UM. So we have to 624 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: wait and see if that if that flow, that perhaps 625 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: portion of the blow to back up this move and 626 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: agend But so far we're gonna have it. So what 627 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: we've been saying is like we're a bit more skeptical, 628 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: more cautious about chasing the move. We prefer to be 629 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: a buyer on on dips in doll Again, apologies for 630 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: the quality of the line here. Will hope to keep 631 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: connected with Stephen Gallo. But I want to ask you, Stephen, 632 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: about the divergence potentially that we're seeing in central banks, 633 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: the accommodation still the Bank of Japan and the policy 634 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: tightening that we're anticipating from the Federal Reserve. And of 635 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: course we got those comments yesterday from St. Louis President 636 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: James Bullard saying you can't take a seventy five basis 637 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: point hike off the table. Could that be adding to this, 638 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: It's it's possible, it's the divergence theme is certainly something 639 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: that has said a portion of the selling of the 640 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: end of the accumulation of of short position in terms 641 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: of in terms of what are Yeah, Fortunately the quality 642 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: of the line is is just too difficult to discern 643 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: what we're hearing here from Stephen Gallo. But I hope 644 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: we can connect with you soon, Stephen. Great to get 645 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: your insights.

Some analysts are thinking that 650 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: one thirty against the dollar isn't out of the question. 651 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,280 Speaker 1: All right, Nathan, it is five fifty two on Wall Street. 652 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: Now it's time for our Bloomberg Law Report and we 653 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: get to the illegal stories we're watching this morning.

Twitter has made a move 667 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: to thwart elon Must's effort to take over the company. 668 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: It's launched a poison pill defense to move by the 669 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: social media company's board would allow existing shareholders to buy 670 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: more Twitter stock at a discount. Should anyone gain control 671 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: a fifteen percent of a company without the board's approval 672 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: for more Bloomberg June Grosso speaks to a Laine Kapin, 673 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: a partner at Ferrell Fritz. How much of a deterrent 674 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: is a poison pill? In the history of pison pills, 675 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: and it stretches back about forty years, I'm only aware 676 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: of one documented case in which someone deliberately crossed the 677 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 1: threshold without board approval, so it does serve as a deterrent. 678 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: I will say that poison pills have fallen out of favor. 679 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: It's received enormous criticism. The main criticisms of poison pills 680 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: or that they entrenched the board and management. They could 681 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: prevent an offer at a premium. They could limit a 682 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: stockholder's ability to increase his ownership as a means to 683 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: influence or challenge management. That, by the way, could be 684 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: what must either is planning on doing or what he 685 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: may end up doing. You know, if he can't pull 686 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 1: off an acquisition of the entire company, he would sort 687 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: of be a player, perhaps not the largest stockholder, but 688 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: currently he's the second largest stockholder, and with that position 689 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: of influence he can put pressure on management. The sense 690 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: is that the greater ownership position he has, the greater 691 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: influence he can exert on management. But if the because 692 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: of this plan, he will not be able to surpass 693 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: that fifteen percent threshold. And the criticism is that, you know, 694 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: sometimes management needs that outside criticism. So even though it's 695 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 1: dangerous to try to read into Elon Musk's tweets, let's 696 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: try it. Over the weekend he tweeted love Me Tender, 697 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 1: the Elvis Prasley song, and people are looking at this as, oh, 698 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: is he going to make a tender offer? So tell 699 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: us what maybe the next phase here. It's unclear that 700 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: he'll be able to launch tender offer, which is typically 701 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: the next step when an acquirer is trying to deal 702 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: directly with the board and that offer is rejected, then 703 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: the next step typically is to go straight to the 704 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,240 Speaker 1: shareholders and go hostile in the form of a tender offer. 705 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: After Friday, with the adoption of the poison pill, it's 706 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: unclear that he'd be able to do that. The announcement 707 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: of a tender offer in and of itself would trigger 708 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: the pill. So that's an avenue that has seemingly didn't 709 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: cut off from Elon Musk. Now he could try and 710 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: challenge the pill and court he's not likely to succeed. 711 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: He could also try to negotiate with the board. If 712 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: he has the funding, then the board would be willing 713 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: to negotiate with him, But presumably the Twitter board would 714 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: want a better price, but that would contradict his earlier 715 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: positions that his offer was the best and final offer. 716 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: So it's unclear that a negotiation with the board is 717 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: something that would be productive here.

That's according to an 730 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 1: update on Uber's website. It says many people do still 731 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: feel safer wearing masks because of personal or family health situations, 732 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: so Uber says please be respectful of their preferences, and 733 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: if you ever feel uncomfortable, you can always cancel the trip. 734 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: But again, Uber says, as of this morning, the mask 735 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: policy for riders and drivers is no longer in effect 736 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: for the rides sharing service.
