00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with the latest on the war with Iran,

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: now into its twenty fifth day. Attacks continue on both sides,

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: even as President Trump says he's holding off on going

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: after Iran's energy infrastructure for five days, citing what he

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: calls really good discussions with Tehran.

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 4: They started last night, a little bit the night before that,

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 4: and I think they're you know, I think they're very good.

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: They want to they want peace, They've agreed they will

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 4: not have a nuclear weapon, you know, et cetera, et cetera.

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: The President says US envoys Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: spoke with a top person in Iran on Sunday, but

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: that it's not the new supreme leader. Most to Bahamini.

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: Iranian official for their parts, say they are ruling out

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: discussions with the US. Stuart Livingston Wallace leads Bloomberg's Middle

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 3: East coverage.

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 5: It's a confused picture and was wig getting scraps of it,

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 5: So there does appear to have been some sort of

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 5: back channeling going on, and our reporting has shown that

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 5: probably includes Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, sada Abroman and I'm sure

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 5: that's not a complete list when you think of the

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 5: number of countries that have been impacted by this war,

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 5: not just directly in terms of attacks from Iran, but

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 5: also you know, in terms of the economic impact much

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 5: further afield, and I'm thinking particularly of East Asia.

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Stewart Livingston Wallace reports President Trump decided to back

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: office threats after allies privately warned him that the war

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: was becoming a disaster. Sources tell Bloomberg News that regional

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: partners told the US permanent damage to Iran's infrastructure would

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: lead to a failed state.

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: But Nathan, there are signs of conflict may already be escalating.

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Saudi Arabia and

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: the United Arab Emirates are taking steps toward joining the

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: war versus. Saudi Arabia has agreed to give the US

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: access to King Fod Airbase, and the UAE has closed

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: a hospital and a club owned by Iran. All this

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: is a tax to continue this morning, as we hear

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: from Bloomberg, middle A Score responded Jumana Bursecchi.

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 6: There'll still being joint US Israeli military strikes throughout Iran. Overnight.

42
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 6: Some reported strikes near nuclear facilities have taken place, so

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 6: we understand that limited damage was caused there and in retaliation,

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 6: Iran continues to strike back and once again sending projectiles

45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 6: towards Saudi Arabia that were intercepted over Kuwait over Baherin.

46
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 6: We understand an AW West center was also targeted in Baharan,

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 6: more interceptions over the UAE as well, and missile strikes

48
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 6: being targeted towards Tel Aviv.

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: And as Bloomberg Jumana Bursecchi reporting from Dubai.

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: Well Karen, there were huge bets in the markets before

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: President Trump's public announcement on war negotiations that helped send

52
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: crudal prices tumbling fourteen percent. Contracts are representing millions of

53
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: barrels changed hands about fifteen minutes before the president's social

54
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: media post. That's according to exchange data compiled by Bloomberg.

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: There was a similar increase in activity in US stock

56
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: futures on the SMP five hundred prior to the president's post.

57
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: Well CHECKI Marcus this morning. Right now, Nathan crude oil

58
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 2: is rising. Nim X crude oil is up almost three

59
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: percent at ninety dollars sixty nine cents a barrel, Brent

60
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: is up one point seven percent at one hundred and

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: one dollars sixty six cents, and SMP futures are lower,

62
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: down a tenth of uve percent. Yesterday, all three major

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: indexes gained at least one point two percent after President

64
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: Trump ordered the Pentagon to hold off on military strikes

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: against Iranian energy infrastructure. Brent Shooty is chief investment officer

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: at Northwestern Mutual.

67
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 7: From the near term, it's still a wait and see.

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 7: I don't think we've resolved all the different possible outcomes,

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 7: and so I think this week is going to be

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 7: interesting as we progress, and certainly headlines will drive the

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 7: market over the next few weeks. Longer term, though, you

72
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 7: want to look through this and you want to stay invested, obviously,

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 7: and you want to stay diversified, and.

74
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: That's Northwestern Mutuals Brent Shooty. The S and P five

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: hundred had its biggest one day gain since February sixth.

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: Karen, let's get to the latest now. In the deadly

77
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: plane crash at New York Slaguardia Airport. The cockpit voice

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: recorder and flight data recorder have been recovered. Investigators are

79
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: decoding the black boxes from that Air Canada Express jet

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: that collided with a fire truck just after landing. The

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: captain and the co pilot died. Forty three people were hurt.

82
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: Jennifer Homan Dy is chair of the National Transportation Safety Board.

83
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 8: The port authority and the emergency responders cut a hole

84
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 8: on the roof of the aircraft, dropped down and was

85
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 8: able to get the CVR and FDR for US, which

86
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 8: then one of our investigators drove back to our labs

87
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 8: in Washington, DC today where they've been able to at

88
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 8: least verify that the cockpit voice recorder was not damn.

89
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: And tsp's Jennifer Homandy says this was the first deadly

90
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: accident at LaGuardia in more than thirty years.

91
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Nathan Senators and both parties are expressing rising optimism

92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: about reaching an agreement to eny five week partial shutdown

93
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: to the Department of Homeland Security. The shutdown has led

94
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: to lengthy delays and major US airports and unpaid employees

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: of the Transportation Security Administration calling in sick after Republicans

96
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: met at the White House with President Trump on Monday.

97
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota tells Bloomberg Balance of

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: Power that the Senate is working on a deal.

99
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 9: We'll continue to work on it. Hopefully we will find

100
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 9: a breakthrough somewhere along the line, and we'll be able

101
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 9: to not only open up all of the operations of government,

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 9: including those that protect us against terrorst threats, and get

103
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 9: our airports open and operational and get those guys paid.

104
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 9: That's really important to the vast majority of us. And

105
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 9: I recognize that the President is lobbying hard to get

106
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 9: everything done. Respect him for it. Bottom line is, we're

107
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 9: going to get as much done as we possibly can

108
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 9: get done.

109
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: And Senator Mike Grounds of South Dakota on Bloomberg's Balance

110
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: of Power, Senate Minority Leader Chunk Schumer told reporters that quote,

111
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: both sides are working in a serious way. The Senate

112
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: has been at odds over two Democratic demands that DHS

113
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: agents obtain warrants from judges before entering homes and that

114
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: federal agents stop wearing masks.

115
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: Man with the DHS still shut down, Karen Mark, Wayne

116
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: Mullen has been confirmed to be its next secretary.

117
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 7: On this vote, the eyes are fifty four, the Naser

118
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 7: forty five.

119
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 10: The nomination of Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma to be

120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 10: Secretary of Homeland Security is confirmed.

121
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: It was the Senate vote mostly long party lines, confirming

122
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: the first term Republican senator and former mixed martial arts

123
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: fighter who's been a staunch defender of President Trump's deportation program.

124
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: Federal funding, as we said, has been shut down for

125
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 3: the DHS since mid February due to disagreements over immigration

126
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: enforcement tactics and demands for restrictions. Mark Wayne Mullen places

127
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: Christinam as DHS Secretary, well.

128
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: Over sees Nathan. The European Union and Australia have agreed

129
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: to a free trade deal after almost a decade of negotiations.

130
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: Both parties are working to shield their economies from US

131
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: tariffs and China's restrictions on critical minerals. Here's European Commission

132
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: President Ursula Vonderlion.

133
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 11: Today, we are telling an important story to a world

134
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 11: that is deeply changing, a world where great powers are

135
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 11: using tariffs as a leverage and supply chains as vulnerabilities

136
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 11: to be exploited in our story Open WOS based trade

137
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 11: delivers positive sum outcomes. Trust matters more than transactions.

138
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: European Commission President Ursula Vonderlion says the agreement will now

139
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: need to be signed off by EU countries and approved

140
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: by both parliaments.

141
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: Hey, Karen, Well, the markets may close on Fridays, the

142

Speaker 3: comes next. You get Bloomberg This Weekend live every weekend,

159
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 13: have on the practice of early voting. Chief Justice John

160
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 13: Roberts suggests that he was not convinced by Trump administration

161
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 13: contentions that later arriving ballads could be outlawed without also

162
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 13: undermining early voting. Hearing that lasted more than two hours Monday,

163
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 13: the court grappled with a Mississippi law that allows mail

164
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 13: in ballots to be counted as long as they arrive

165
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 13: within five business days of election day. Dozens of states

166
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 13: allow at least some ballots to be counted after election day.

167
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: I'm Matt Piper Bloomberg Radio.

168
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 12: The Trump administration has initiated two new investigations into Harvard University.

169
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 12: It comes over alleged anti semitism on campus and racially

170
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 12: discriminatory admissions practices. Two people on board a small helicopter

171
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 12: were killed when it crashed into a warehouse in Boyden Beach, Florida, Monday,

172
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 12: by a rescue battalion. Chief Max Accidine says it happened

173
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 12: just after noon upon arrival.

174
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 7: We did find one small helicopter inside one of the

175
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 7: buildings that crashed through the roof. There are no survivors.

176
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 12: The FAA and NTSP or investigating. The Federal Communications Commission

177
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 12: has ordered a ban on the import of new models

178
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 12: of foreign produced consumer wireless routers. The move comes after

179
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 12: an inter agency panel determined the threatened national security. The

180
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 12: move could dramatically shake up the market for routers, which

181
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 12: are primarily made overseas. Global news twenty four hours a

Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

200
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 10: Good morning.

201
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager on day twenty five of the US

202
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: Israeli war where they ron. Fighting continues across the Middle East,

203
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: even as President Trump says talks are underway to try

204
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: to end the conflict.

205
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: We were planning tomorrow on shooting down some of their

206
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 4: power plants, and we're not going to be going to

207
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 4: hold that up. Hopefully we won't.

208
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 5: Have to do it.

209
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: I was the President at a roundtable discussion yesterday in Memphis.

210
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 3: This morning, we're joined from Dubai by Bloomberg Middle East

211
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: correspondent Jumana Bursecci, the anchor of Bloomberg Horizons. Jumana, good morning,

212
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: Thanks again for being with us. What is the latest

213
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: in terms of the fighting, Well, if I had.

214
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 14: To summarize the last twenty four hours, I would say

215
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 14: there has been an attempt to de escalate or at

216
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 14: least to reopen the diplomatic channels, but the war is

217
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 14: still very much ongoing, and what we've seen overnight is

218
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 14: continual joint U US Israeli military strikes different parts of Iran,

219
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 14: Iran retaliating against Gulf States, against Tel Aviv, incoming missiles

220
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 14: intercepted and also one of them actually managing to sustain

221
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 14: a significant amount of damage on one of the streets

222
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 14: of Tel Aviv. Sirens going off in Behinan, Kuwait city

223
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 14: also and more interceptions being reported in Saudi Arabia. So yes,

224
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 14: there's been an attempt to revive the sort of indirect

225
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 14: negotiations between US and Iran, but the war still goes on.

226
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: Well, what do't we know, Jumana about these indirect discussions.

227
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: A president seems to be indicating that they've been direct,

228
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: but we've been hearing from Iranian officials that there haven't

229
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: been any discussions either way going on.

230
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 14: Correct. So we've heard from some official more official voices

231
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 14: in Iran, including the Speaker of the House and the

232
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 14: Deputy Speaker of the House, and both of them has

233
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 14: said that there have been no direct negotiations taking place.

234
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 14: But later in the evening we understood that several indirect

235
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 14: mediation attempts have been going on, and this really being

236
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 14: put forward by the nations in the region that have

237
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 14: not been targeted by Iran, And here I'm talking about Egypt,

238
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 14: about Turkey to a certain extent, Oman which is traditionally

239
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 14: played a mediator role, and even Pakistan looking also to

240
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 14: get involved in potential mediation talks. We understand that the

241
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 14: Iranian foreign minister has had talks with several of his

242
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 14: foreign minister counterparts, but again unclear at this stage what

243
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 14: the substance of those negotiations entail, and whether or not

244
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 14: there's going to be some in person meeting later in

245
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 14: the week, as has been suggested by other outlets.

246
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: Now, what more are we hearing about why the president

247
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: had backed off this threat that we know about from

248
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: last weekend, this forty eight hour ultimatum to go after

249
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: Iran's power plans.

250
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 14: So our colleagues on Bloomberg News side wrote a very

251
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 14: interesting article overnight talking about the influence and the pressure

252
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 14: that Gulf ally is put on President Trump to backtrack

253
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 14: away from those threats to strike airring and infrastructure particularly

254
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 14: the power plants because of fears of reprisal. Number one

255
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 14: about what that could mean for power plants, infrastructure, water

256
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 14: desalination plants in the region, but also number two, the

257
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 14: real risk that this could spiral into something short of

258
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 14: a disaster. This is the quotes from the article, because

259
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 14: their thinking is, if you continue to wipe out civilian

260
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 14: infrastructure in Iran, what are the people of Iran going

261
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 14: to be left with. If you are talking about ultimately

262
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 14: regime change or uprising on the people, you have to

263
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 14: give them a chance to be able to live and

264
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 14: to survive. And if you continue to target civilian infrastructure,

265
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 14: then you're removing that possibility. The last thing that anyone

266
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 14: in the region wants is chaos on their doorsteps. So

267
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 14: it looks as though many of these golf states actually

268
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 14: did manage to restrain President Trump from going down that path.

269
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 14: Hence the five day window bit. Again, a lot can

270
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 14: change in the next couple of days.
