WEBVTT - Brown, MIT Professor Shooting Suspect Found Dead, More

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>News when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Doug Prisner, and we begin in New England, where officials

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>say the man suspected of killing two students at Brown

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>University has been found dead in a storage facility in Salem,

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire. Authorities say he took his own life. The

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>man is also suspected of killing an MIT professor in

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>his Boston area home. The man has been identified as

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Claudio Neves Valente. He is a forty eight year old

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Portuguese national. He's also a former Brown graduate student. Here

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>is Leo Foley, the US attorney in Massachusetts.

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So investigators identified the vehicle that he had rented in

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Boston and then drove to Rhode Island, and he was

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>seen in the vehicle, was seen outside of Brown, and

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 2>there was security footage that showed a person who resembled him.

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 2>There was online there was financial investigations that were going

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>on in the background that linked him not only to

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>that car, but also to the hotel tells that he

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>had rented and the cars, the car that he had

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>used to not only drive to Rhode Island but then

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>back to Boston.

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>That's Leah Foley, the US attorney in Massachusetts, TikTok assigned

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>binding agreements to create a US joint venture majority owned

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>by American investors. According to an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg,

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>CEO show Chew said agreements with Oracle, Silver Lake, and

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>MGX have been signed. Now this US joint venture will

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>operate as an independent entity. Here is Bloomberg's Mike Shepherd.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 3>The idea is that it would be a copy leased

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 3>from by Dance, but then retrained to some degree or

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 3>another by Oracle and also walled off in a way.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 3>They would create some sort of a security firewall or

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 3>barrier that would keep byte Dance from ever gaining access

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>to US data or to the algorithm itself, out of

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 3>concerns that there could be some manipulation.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>That is Bloomberg's Mike Shepherd. The l Nike reported more

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>weakness in the Chinese market as well as in its

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>converse brand, and these negatives offset higher than expected revenue

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>for the latest quarter. Here is Punam Goyel, senior retail

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.239
<v Speaker 4>When we talk about China, I think it's going to

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 4>take some time. We may not see anything in their

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.519
<v Speaker 4>fiscal twenty twenty six likely at twenty twenty seven to

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty eight initiative on the converse side, you know,

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 4>getting converse right is important, but I really think what's

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 4>more important right now is getting China right. So if

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 4>I had them focused on one thing right now, it

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 4>would be how do you fix China?

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>That was Punam Goyel from Bloomberg Intelligence. Shares and Nike

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>were down by more than ten percent in late US trading.

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>FedEx reported adjust at EPs for the latest quarter above estimates,

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and the company raised the low end of its outlook

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>for both full year profit and sales. FedEx is expecting

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>sales to rise in the new year between five to

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>six percent. Here is Bloomberg analyst Leek Klascow.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 5>Obviously a bead is always better than a med, so

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 5>I think that's obviously some good news. It looks like

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 5>the margins came in a lot better than what expectations were,

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 5>about eighty basis points better than consensus. Overall, it looks

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 5>like a very good print for the company, especially giving

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 5>the challenge an environment, whether it's them grounding the MD

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 5>elevens or the end of the minimist exemptions. Looks like

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 5>they're working through that through their restructuring.

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Programs, that is Bloomberg's League Classical Now FedEx is also

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>estimating that restructuring plan will produce a billion dollars in

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>permanent cost reductions. In twenty twenty six, shares and FedEx

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>were up by more than two percent in late US trading.

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Coinbase Global is suing three states over their attempt to

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>regulate prediction markets. The states are Michigan, Illinois, and Connecticut. Now,

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>state agencies and casinos want the authority over prediction markets

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to rest with states and their respective gambling laws. However,

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Coinbase will ask for court orders affirming that the states

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>cannot interfere with the Commodity Futures Trading Commissions exclusive jurisdiction

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>over prediction markets granted by Congress. The European Union has

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>agreed to provide a loan to Ukraine of ninety billion

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>euros for the next two years now. The aim is

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to strengthen Kiev's hand and to keep Ukraine afloat. This

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>loan will be backed by the EU's budget. President Trump

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>has signed in executive order to accelerate loosening of restrictions

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>on marijuana, but the president did stop short of legalizing it. Currently,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>marijuana is labeled as a Schedule one drug, the government's

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>most restrictive class, alongside substances such as heroin and LSD

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>well Now, the Justice Department has been instructed to begin

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the steps to shift cannabis to Schedule three. That's a

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 1>tier reserved for drugs with accepted medical uses and lower

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>potential for abuse. Here is President Trump.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 6>The facts compel the federal government to recognize that marijuana

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 6>can be legitimate in terms of medical applications when carefully administered.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 6>In some cases, this may include the use as a

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 6>substitute for addictive and potentially lethal opioid painkillers.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, the President went on to say this move also

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>makes it easier to conduct more research using cannabis. Also, today,

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>President Trump signed an executive order giving federal employees days

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>off on Christmas Eve and December twenty sixth. However, both

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ will not

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 1>alter their trading schedules for those days. The Department of

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Health and Human Services is taking actions to block access

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to gender affirming care for minors. The proposal includes cutting

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>off federal Medicaid and Medicare funding for hospitals that provide

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>gender affirming care to children, and it would prohibit Medicare

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>dollars from being used to fund those procedures. Here is

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Health in Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>So called gender affirming care has inflicted lasting physical and

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 2>cyclo logical damage on vulnerable young people.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 3>This is not medicine.

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It is malpractice. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior. And

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>that is news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now,

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm Doug Chrisner, and this is Bloomberg
