Change begins now 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 5: and it feels good. I have to be honest. 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: Afterwards, Kiir Starmer spoke with the man he will soon replace, 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: Rishis Sunac soon.

Today. Let's take a 40 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: look at the pound now, which Notch's longest winning streak 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: in four years as a Labor Party swept at power. 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: Currently it's higher against the dollar. It's at one point 43 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: two seven seventy nine. 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: Well, the other major part of this story Karen is 45 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: the rise of the right wing Reform UK Party. It's leader, 46 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: Nigel Farage, won his constituency from the Conservatives. He is 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: becoming a member of Parliament after seven previous failed attempts. 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: Farage is seen as one of the driving forces behind 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: the Brexit movement. Meanwhile, a former prime minister lost her seat, 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: Liz Trust failed to win her constituency. Her premiership was 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: the shortest in UK history. Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy 52 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: Hunt was able to hold on to his seat. 53 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: We want to turn out a politics in the US, 54 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Nathan and a make or break weekend for President Biden. 55 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: The President's aiming to restore faith in voters and donors 56 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: who are wary he can defeat Donald Trump in November. 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: Pulls from The Wall Street Journal at New York Times 58 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: released after the debate showed that Donald Trump has increased 59 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: as lead over President Biden. The President will have a 60 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: crucial interview with ABC News heading into the weekend, in 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: his first unscripted interview since his debate performance last week. 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: He'll also address a rally in Madison, Wisconsin today. President 63 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: Biden spoke yesterday morning with the Earl Ingram Show on 64 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: Civic Media, admitting he made some missteps with the debate. 65 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 7: Had a bad night, and the fact of the matter 66 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 7: is that you know it was I. 67 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: I screwed up and made a mistake. After speaking on 68 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: the Earl Ingram Show on Civic Media, we later heard 69 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: from the President at July fourth event, where he assured 70 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: a crowd outside the White House that he was staying 71 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: in the race. 72 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: You got me, man, I'm not going anywhere. 73 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were hosting military 74 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: families at the White House yesterday. 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 8: Well Karen. 76 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: Most Democratic Party elders and prominent governors so far have 77 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: resisted publicly calling on President Biden to drop out of 78 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: the race, but they have also bluntly acknowledged they are worried. 79 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: They say, questions about his ability to handle the job 80 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: are legitimate. Democrats dispatched California Governor Gavin Newsom to the 81 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: swing state of Michigan to reassure voters there that President 82 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: Biden can win a second term. 83 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 6: I believe in his character. 84 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 7: I believe that he has. 85 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 9: Been one of the most transformative presidents in our collective lifetime. 86 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: Despite comments from the likes of California's Governor Gavin Newsom. 87 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: Top Democratic donors have said they would withhold or redirect 88 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: their money unless Biden does step aside, while lawmakers continued 89 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: discussing whether to band together and call for a change 90 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: atop the ticket. 91 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: Well, we're turning now to the latest in the Middle East, Nathan. 92 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: There appears to be movement on a kind of truce 93 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: between Israel and Hamas, and Bloomberg's and Baxter joins us 94 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: with that story. 95 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 7: President Joe Biden has spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 96 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 7: at Yahoo for about half an hour, and after the call, 97 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 7: a senior US official is saying that Hamas has broadly 98 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 7: agreed to the framework of a Ceaz fire proposal with Israel. 99 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 7: The Hamas responss through Katari officials who have served as 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 7: a key intermediary between Israel and Hamas. The official says 101 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 7: it's an encouraging development that could initially lead to the 102 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 7: release from the Gaza strip sick, wounded female and older 103 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 7: male hostages taken on October seventh. It appears to be 104 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 7: significant enough that Israel is sending a delegation to negotiate 105 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 7: in cutter ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio. 106 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: All right, and thanks, And we're learning this morning that 107 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: the head of Israel's intelligence agency is traveling to cutter 108 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: today to meet with the nation's prime minister to try 109 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: to finalize the deal with Amas. And that's according to 110 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: Israeli media. 111 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 2: Also happening overseas this weekend, Karen will be the second 112 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: round of voting in France's election marine. The pass far 113 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 2: right National Rally party is set to fall well short 114 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 2: of an absolute majority in that vote on Sunday. That's 115 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: based on surveys released over the past couple days. The 116 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: second round of the snap election is on Sunday. Five 117 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 2: hundred one districts are up for grabs. The National Rally 118 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: has secured at thirty nine races outright in the first round. 119 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 2: The election comes after French President Emmanuel mccron dissolved the 120 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: lower House of Parliament nearly a month ago and called 121 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: for that snap vote. 122 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: Now to the market, Snathan, investors resume a normal trading 123 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: day after a shortened day Wednesday. We'll get a critical 124 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: data point at eight thirty am Wall Street time. But 125 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: the June jobs report on Bloomberg's Michael McKee has a preview. 126 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 10: It's hard to characterize the consensus for June employment. While 127 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 10: other labor market indicators such as jobless claims, adp and ism, 128 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 10: manufacturing and services suggest a cooling labor market, economists are 129 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 10: reluctant to bet against the non farm payrolls trend. The 130 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 10: forecast is almost the same as the May forecast, but 131 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 10: hiring last month rose two hundred and seventy two thousand, 132 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 10: almost one hundred thousand more. Fed officials, meanwhile, have put 133 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 10: unemployment in the spotlight as a measure of the economy's strength. 134 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 10: Any rise would push investors to pull forward bets on 135 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 10: a rate cut, possibly in September. The consensus, however, sees 136 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 10: no change. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio Sori, Michael, thank you. 137 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: Time now for a look at some of the other 138 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: stories making news in New York and around the world. 139 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Michael, 140 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, Karen. 141 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 8: A fourth of July park tragedy in New York City, 142 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 8: police say three people were killed and seven others were 143 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 8: injured when a suspected drunk driver plowed a vehicle into 144 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 8: a park on the Lower East side of Manhattan. It 145 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 8: happened just before nine pm last night. In my PD 146 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 8: Chief Jeffrey Madre says, many families were in the park 147 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 8: celebrating the holiday. Right now, we do not feel that 148 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 8: this is a terrorism related event. We do believe that 149 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 8: alcohol had played a role in this, but we are 150 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 8: investigating and we will look further into it. Chief Madre 151 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 8: says at least one victim remains in critical condition.

Beryl damaged Jamaica as more than half 154 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 8: of the island is now without electricity. To the crisis 155 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 8: is a lack of water, limited telecommunications, and a closed airport. 156 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 8: This Florida resident told ABC outside of Montego Bay Airport, 157 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 8: her dream vacation to the Caribbean has become a nightmare. 158 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 6: I've got to get back to work. 159 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: Funds are running out and it's time to go home. 160 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: Vacation's over, so we've got to spend more money to 161 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: stay when we don't. 162 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 4: Want to stay. 163 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 8: A total of nine deaths have been blamed on burrel. 164 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 8: The National Weather Service is calling a heat wave hitting 165 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 8: the West extreme and is telling people to limit time outdoors, 166 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 8: and it has been well over one hundred degrees in 167 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 8: many areas. Firefighters battling California's wildfires, however, are having to 168 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 8: deal with the temperatures. Cities around the nation shot off 169 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 8: Fourth of July fireworks last night. In New York City. 170 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 8: The may Sea's Fourth of July Fireworks show returned to 171 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 8: the Hudson River this year for the first time since 172 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 8: twenty thirteen.

Change is coming to the UK. 231 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: Labor leader Keir Starmer is set to become the next 232 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 2: Prime Minister after winning a landslide victory an outright majority 233 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: in the House of Commons, handing Rishi Sunac's Conservatives their 234 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: worst showing ever after his decision to call a surprise 235 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: election in the summer. For more on this result, we 236 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: are joined by Bloomberg Daybreak euro banker Caroline Hepger, who has 237 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: been following the reaction from Westminster. Caroline good morning. This 238 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: is a historic result, but not really a surprise, is it, 239 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 2: given that the polls were pointing to a massive Labor lead. 240 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 6: No, but it is a damning verdict, isn't it on 241 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 6: Prime Minister Rishi Sunac and indeed the five Conservative prime 242 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 6: ministers that we've had over a fourteen year period here 243 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 6: in the UK. Rischie Sunac will give his final feat 244 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 6: as Prime Minister in about twenty minutes time, after the 245 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 6: worst defeat for the Conservative Party in one hundred years. 246 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 6: In the end, they only managed to muster one hundred 247 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 6: and twenty seats in the House of Common six hundred 248 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 6: and fifty seats overall. It was Labor who managed to 249 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 6: secure four hundred and twelve new MPs. The other story, though, 250 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 6: that I would pull out of what has happened in 251 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 6: the UK is very unusual, Nathan. Normally we are basically 252 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 6: a two party parliamentary system, but we've seen the resurgence 253 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 6: of the Liberal Democrats, traditionary the third party in politics 254 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 6: here in the UK. Also a big loss for the 255 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 6: SNP up in Scotland, and then Nigel four Trump's ally 256 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 6: of reform UK. He's been voted in along with a 257 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 6: number of other colleagues for Reform UK. So this is 258 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 6: a much more divided Britain in terms of the MPs 259 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 6: that they have voted for, perhaps a confused Britain. Also 260 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 6: because the turnout was very low, one hundred years low 261 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 6: in terms of the number of people who actually went 262 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 6: out to. 263 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: Vote, So the turnout could belie then the huge majority 264 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: that we do see four or the Labor Party. What 265 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: does that say about the convincing that Keir Starmer needs 266 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: to do for that sizable majority of voters that did 267 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: not turn out in this election. 268 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 6: Caroline, Well, this is absolutely going to be the question 269 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 6: how much of a mandate does the Labor leader have 270 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 6: for perhaps going further than a very limited manifesto. So 271 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 6: all the parties presented their manifestos in this very brief 272 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 6: campaigns only last six weeks here in the UK. Labour's 273 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 6: manifesto had very little, less than ten billion pounds in 274 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 6: terms of tax and spending changes. Blueberg Economics reported on 275 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 6: it that actually they thought it would only add zero 276 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 6: point one percent of economic growth to the UK in 277 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 6: the shortter medium term, so it was really a very 278 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 6: thin manifesto, not promising a huge amount. Now the question 279 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 6: is does the Labor Party go forward and have to 280 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 6: deliver more. They have promised to do things like increase 281 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 6: economic growth, you know, deal with the backlog in in 282 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 6: NHS waiting list, deliver one and a half million new homes, 283 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 6: whilst at the same time not increasing any of the 284 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 6: major taxes. That was a firm pledge from them not 285 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 6: to increase taxes on working people. So how are they 286 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 6: going to do that? And, as you say, because a 287 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 6: lot of people did not turn out, the criticism this 288 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 6: morning from some of the other leaders like Nigel Fararche 289 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 6: has sen actually there's no great enthusiasm for Labor. It 290 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 6: is simply that voters were so utterly sick and frustrated 291 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 6: by the Conservative government that after fourteen years, delivered actually 292 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 6: a drop in UK living standards. 293 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: So, given that we have sort of a thin manifesto 294 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: from Labor in our last minute, Caroline, what's the reaction 295 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: from the business community. I know you've been gathering a 296 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: lot of that as well from Westminster, absolutely. 297 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 6: And speaking to the key business constituents, for example of 298 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 6: the Confederation British Industry, the Institute of Directors here in 299 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 6: the UK. Look, they are hopeful the CBI's Ray Newton 300 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 6: Smith told me that she wanted the Labor governm to 301 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 6: hit the ground running and they want details. They want 302 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 6: details of how the Labor government is going to learn 303 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 6: the lessons of the last fourteen years and try to 304 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 6: deliver economic growth. There's been a big bit of outreach 305 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 6: to business which has convinced a lot of businesses. From 306 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 6: Kirstarma and Rachel Reeves that Labor is truly a change 307 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 6: party in that they are pro business. They want to 308 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 6: combine with business to deliver on growth. But now it's 309 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 6: about how quickly that comes. And I was speaking to 310 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 6: a newly elected Labor MP just a few minutes ago. 311 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 6: He was saying, firstly, there needs to be a complete 312 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 6: audit of where the UK actually is and what fiscal rooms. 313 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 6: You know, the incoming government is going to have. 314 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: The news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond.
