The two repeatedly interrupted each other in the 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: forty five second answer format, which became a platform for 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: their party's campaign attack lines. Prime Minister and Conservative leader 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: if she soon actor to make the case that a 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: labor government would raise taxes and only he would protect 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: the elderly. 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 4: Raise the personal allowance for pensioners and ensure that the 22 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 4: state pension is never subject to tax. That's all you'll 23 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 4: get under a future Conservative government. Kiss Starmer hasn't matched 24 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 4: that pledge, which means, for the first time in our 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 4: country's history, if labor are elected, pensioners will pay tax. 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 4: I do not think that is right. 27 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: A snap You Go of poll after the debate gave 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: Sunak the slightest edge, with fifty one percent, saying that 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: he had won versus forty nine percent for starmar Well. 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: The labor leader hit back at Sunak's claims, pointing to 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: the Conservatives record in government two million. 32 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 5: They're now some point five million. 33 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: It says they're coming down, and the guys say good 34 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: at maths. I'd like you to explain how they're coming down. 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 4: Because they were coming down from where they were when 36 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 4: they were higher. On their way down. They are down, yes, 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 4: because the NHS was impacted by industrial action. So it 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 4: wasn't for that. 39 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 3: Would have been so somebody else's fault. 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: So that was Kis Starmer. They're talking about the waiting 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: list numbers for the National Health Service. Now, the Yugov 42 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: poll that we mentioned after that TV debate found that 43 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: Kiss Starmer was actually more likable and trustworthy. The pair 44 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: are due to go head to head again in another 45 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: TV debate in three weeks time. 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: The debate was followed by extended interviews with other party leaders. 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: Some opinion polls are protecting the Liberal Democrats could win 48 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: as many as fifty seats in the next parliament. It's 49 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: a number that would make the main potential powerbroker in Westminster. 50 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: Libdem leader At Davey told ITV his priority is to 51 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: remove as many Tory MPs as possible.

Former 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: Governor of the Indian Central Bank, Ragaram Rajan says that 60 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: the situation is positive for Indians. 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 6: The forces India to choose a different course from the 62 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 6: one it has been on, a course which has led 63 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 6: to much wider unemployment and distress than needed in the country. 64 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: So that was the former Indian Central Bank Governor Ragaram Rajan, 65 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: who is now Professor at the University of Chicago's Booth 66 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: School of Business. Indian stocks had their worst day in 67 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: more than four years following the news. Official election results 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: show that the National Democratic Alliance coalition this is led 69 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: by Modi's party, one enough seats to form a government 70 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: if it sticks together. The alliance is expected to hold 71 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: a meeting in New Delhi later today. 72 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: And the US job openings fell in April to their 73 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: lowest level in over three years, consistent with the gradual 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: lowdown in the labor market. Available positions decreased to just 75 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: over eight million, three hundred thousand, fewer than the revised 76 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: reading for the previous month.

Transaction, 96 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: which allows Intel to invest its money elsewhere, will be 97 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: completed in the second quarter of this year.

It is the second such investment 104 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 5: program that Intel has announced, part of an effort to 105 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 5: lessen the burden on its already stretched finances.

The slow introduction is a bid 114 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: to reduce the Center Bank's environmental impact after guidance from 115 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: the Royal household in Charles is well known for his 116 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: dedication to climate causes.

There but 120 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 2: another story that caught our eye this morning to do 121 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: with online dating. That the Business Week newsletter has been 122 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: looking at a new trend where people are shunning dating 123 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: apps provided for the purpose and using it different kinds 124 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: of social networks like LinkedIn. So there are viral videos 125 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: going around people talk about being able to use the 126 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: filters on LinkedIn to be able to suit, you know, 127 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: kind of narrow down potential suitors. So you could pick 128 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: education level for example, do you want somebody that has 129 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: an MBA or perhaps the industry like somebody to be 130 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: working in now, I should point out and LinkedIn actually 131 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: said this in response to a query as well as 132 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: that romantic advances are harassment or any of any form 133 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: is a violation of their rules. So members can report 134 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: people that are trying to chat them up essentially on 135 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: LinkedIn as well. But this drawing people there is the 136 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: fact they find the information people are posting on LinkedIn 137 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: is likely to be more reliable than what they're putting 138 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: on dating website. 139 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: Oh that's an interesting twist. Look, many many people find 140 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: their romantic partners through their work and their job. 141 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: We're spent so many hours working. That seems pretty normal 142 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: to me. 143 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: But sort of abandoning the old dating apps I think 144 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: is quite interesting. I shall not mention which dating app 145 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: I use, because that will in and of itself date. 146 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: Me me me either, but I was interested to People 147 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: are also using the fitness tracker Strava or even duo 148 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: Lingo to try and find matches as well, so proving 149 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: that you really can find love everywhere. 150 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: Oh right, that's very sweet, isn't it? Okay? BusinessWeek. I 151 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: like that. 152 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: That's cheered me up for the morning. Right, let's turn 153 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: our attention though, Well, this was not a love fest, 154 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: was it? 155 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: Yesterday? Very late night? 156 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: Rishie Sunac and Keir Starmer clashing in this heated debate 157 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: on television in the UK. Of course, in the election 158 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: build up, the first Conservative leader accuse Labor of plotting 159 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: a tax raid, but Rishi Sunac made a number of 160 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: gaffs himself. The snap you gov poll after the debate 161 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: gave Sunak a very slim edge fifty one forty nine percent. 162 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: Someone who did stay up late to watch it, of course, 163 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's UK Politics reported James Walcock, James, can't believe you're 164 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: up and actually raring to go this morning. But who 165 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: do you think came out on top in that TV debate? 166 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: Oh? 167 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 8: Quite Frankly, I fully regret my decision to stay up 168 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 8: because I don't think either of them did particularly well 169 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 8: or cover themselves in glory there. I mean, there's the judge, 170 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 8: but George Burden, our shore quote comes to mind, will 171 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 8: never restle in the mud with a pig because you'll 172 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 8: get dirty and a pig will like it. Why do 173 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 8: we do these debates. I mean we do them to 174 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 8: inform on policy and expose where there are weaknesses and 175 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 8: to test the metal of the character of the people 176 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 8: ryansby our leader. Did we get anything new on policy? 177 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 8: Limited variability? I mean, like for example, Sunak did push 178 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 8: Star on pension slightly. That what we didn't really engage 179 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 8: with the big fish called black hole awaiting us and sunk. 180 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 8: We talked about gaffes. He want to talk about national service. 181 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 8: The audience sort of openly laughed at him, which is 182 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 8: sort of points to kind of what a difficult policy 183 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 8: that is. 184 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: For eighteen year olds. This is to do national sex exactly. 185 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: Think there was ditched decades ago. 186 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 8: And then in terms of test the mestal of our 187 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 8: sort of leaders, it was such a limited view point 188 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 8: to forty five second debate answers that in many ways 189 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 8: Sunacle was a far more mission drilled. He's done a 190 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 8: lot of debates, he spent a whole summer debating this trust. 191 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 8: He was far about getting his lines in. But that 192 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 8: turns out with Star with then being seems more likable, 193 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 8: and so it really is six of one, half a 194 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 8: dozen of the other. The point I think Sunac will 195 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 8: be happier with how that went because he has so 196 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 8: much more polling ground to make up. But beyond that, 197 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 8: it really is you pick your favorite. 198 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: Part of the fun of events like this. James is 199 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: watching Howard unfolds on social media, which I know you 200 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: were also doing. But is that you know what were 201 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: the reactions on social media and will that actually affect 202 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 2: the election? 203 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 8: Already with twenty minutes in, people were clipping up the 204 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 8: videos and this forty five second form one one thing. 205 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 8: It does itself to his jousting for clips, which is 206 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 8: what a lot of politics is now. It's worth pointing 207 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 8: outs even there is no one kind of social media take. 208 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 8: And I was fascinating you look at that you poll 209 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 8: the Headlin figure is what everyone's gonna be quoting, but 210 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 8: go into the detail and I found it fascinating if 211 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 8: you look at the sort of number of people who 212 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 8: foun they were frustrated with the debate. If you voted 213 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 8: conservative in twenty nineteen or thought Rishi had won, you 214 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 8: were fifty percent, like you say, you're frustrated with that debate, 215 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 8: fifty percent is terrible. However, if you didn't vote or 216 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 8: thought Star was one, you're between seventy to eighty percent 217 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 8: likely to say you're frustrated with that debate. So more 218 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 8: than half of everyone who watched that debate came away frustrations. 219 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 3: Yes, which is not a good word really, it's dire. 220 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 8: Yes. 221 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: The other thing to say, though, is that the other 222 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: political parties also did get something from the evening, didn't 223 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: they because it was only the two main political parties, 224 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: But there are others. 225 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, and in some ways, arguably as someone who watched 226 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 8: the whole thing, the best lot of the night goes 227 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 8: to Liberal Democrat. A day after having this very bitter 228 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 8: invite me to major League has got about a ten 229 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 8: minute ext and an interview talk about his policies. 230 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: His views towards care. 231 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 8: It sort of stunts around Westminster and sort of the 232 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 8: wider UK, and they are potential kingmakers. You look at 233 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 8: the U GO of Mrpoole, which gives them centrally fifty seats. 234 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 8: Fifty seats is almost the size of Scotland by in 235 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 8: the sort of Westminster constituencies. And the SMP followed AFT 236 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 8: was talk about how this debate had not reflected any 237 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 8: issues to go on with Scotland and so in that 238 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 8: we do live in a wider democratic policy and the 239 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 8: two leaders styles that had insisted on a head to 240 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 8: head debate. I do wonder as we go into sort 241 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 8: of wider formats going into future weeks, if they may 242 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 8: come to regret not taking this opportunity to set out 243 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 8: in a wider way their serious policy stores rather than 244 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 8: very limited campaign attack lines. 245 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, because of course we're looking ahead to another leader's 246 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 2: debate now on the twenty sixth of June is the 247 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: next head to head one. But there, as you say, James, 248 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: there'll be a format involving more parties as well. I mean, 249 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: what's kind of the challenge that the leaders are coming 250 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 2: away from this event with as they're heading into the 251 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: next couple weeks and campaigning before they get back together 252 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 2: on a TV studio for an event like this. 253 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 8: Star will be mission drilling on how to con counteract 254 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 8: that pension line, and so therefore he will be going 255 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 8: straight in on that line. I think for Rishi it 256 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 8: will be how to get some of his policies out 257 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 8: there in ways that Starma can't. Just turn it back 258 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 8: to his record which starred you to great effect multiple times. 259 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 8: It went down very well with the audience. 260 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: Okay, James Worcock, thank you so much for being with 261 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: us as staying up late watching the TV debates. Bloomberg's 262 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: UK politics reporter James Walcock. 263 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: It's turned to India next. Narendra Mody has vowed to 264 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: continue as Prime minister even after his party last its 265 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: majority in parliament. Mody's BJP will have to rely on 266 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 2: allies to former government for the first time since he 267 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: stormed to power a decade ago. After hitting a record 268 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: high on Monday, India's stock market had its worst day 269 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: in more than four years on Tuesday. Joining us now 270 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: for more, Bloomberg's EMA and news director Rosalind matheson Ras 271 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: took us through what happens from here, how does the 272 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: BJP form a government and what is Mody's future looking like? 273 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 9: Well, he has said it is this intent to form 274 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 9: government and to govern for a third term. But interestingly 275 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 9: for him, he's going to have to negotiate and parties 276 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 9: and politicians in India, but can be quite fickle, so 277 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 9: nothing is totally guaranteed. In fact, the leaders of two 278 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 9: parties in his coalition and they control thirty seats between them. 279 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 9: They only rejoined with Mody a few months ago. Into 280 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 9: his alliance. So there's not a long running loyalty there. 281 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 9: I mean, those parties say that they're willing to negotiate 282 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 9: and so on, But you've got the leaders of two 283 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 9: very veteran parties there, and they've been around for a 284 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 9: very long time, and they certainly know how to drive 285 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 9: a hard bargain and they've shifted allegiances before. So again, 286 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 9: it's quite an interesting position for Mody because he's not 287 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 9: the type who likes to negotiate. It's quite an uncomfortable 288 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 9: position for him. He's used to having quite a big 289 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 9: majority and at least being able to set his own agenda. 290 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 9: So for him, I have to listen a bit to 291 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 9: what they've got to say and certainly coax them over 292 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 9: the line. But he is of course, his party and 293 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 9: his alliance did get the bulk of the seat, so 294 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 9: they've probably got the first right of refusal in terms 295 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 9: of trying to form a government. And we know that 296 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 9: there are meetings going on today, for example in New 297 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 9: Delhi of his alliance. 298 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 299 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: Indeed, one of the key opposition leaders, well Gandhi, saying 300 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: that the vote sends a clear message on Mody's leadership 301 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: and a style of government. I mean, what does it 302 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: mean in terms of policy shifting and then the market 303 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: reaction that flows from that. You know, we've talked about 304 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: the big market swings that we see. Does it all 305 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: concern investors? 306 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 9: Well, it may not mean a massive shift in policy, 307 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 9: but what it will mean is it will be harder 308 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 9: for Mody to push his agenda through Parliament. For example, 309 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 9: so economic policies in particular, so he might find himself 310 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 9: having to spend more in poorer states, does not the 311 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 9: places where he's trying to attract business in industry, to 312 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 9: spend more welfare versus infrastructure or education and job creation. 313 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 9: So you can imagine these parties will extract their pound 314 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 9: of flesh on that front, and it might be interesting 315 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 9: to see where they land in terms of any portfolios 316 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 9: or ministries and positions. It also might mean he has 317 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 9: to tone down his Hindu nationalist rhetoric and not all 318 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 9: his alliance parties subscribe to that, so we could see 319 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 9: some shifts there. For the markets has been pretty wild 320 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 9: and they got carried away I think with the exit polls, 321 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 9: even though those can be notoriously unreliable in India, and 322 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 9: of course modiumself was hinting at a supermajority really near 323 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 9: four hundred seats. So the market's got very enamored of 324 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 9: that idea. They like the idea of his support for 325 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 9: business and investment and so on, and so of course 326 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 9: now we're seeing some of that sort of exuberance really 327 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 9: come off. But India's economic outlook is still not bad. 328 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 9: We are looking at potential growth sticking around sixty seven percent. 329 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 9: Investment is coming in, So the outlook for the economy 330 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 9: and for business it's not entirely terrible. It's just that 331 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 9: there might have to be a bit of a recalibration 332 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 9: at this point from some of that exuberance that we 333 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 9: saw a few days ago. 334 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe, your morning brief on the 335 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: stories making news from London to Wall Street and beyond. 336 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed every morning, on Apple, Spotify, 337 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: and anywhere else you get your podcasts. 338 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning on London Dab Radio, 339 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. 340 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station, is also available on your 341 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
