1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Brian Curtis. Here are the stories we're 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: following today. The major topic of US diplomacy in the 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Middle East today was the possibility of some sort of 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: pause in the region, along with the fact that it 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: looks like the war is widening in the Middle East 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: that Baxter is covering. Historian has more from San Francisco. 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: Ed, Yeah, let's start with a widening. This Israel's up military. 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: It says it's exchanging fire with Hamas and has the 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: law in Lebanon. Israeli troops encircled Gaza. US Secretary of 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 2: State Anthony Blincoln has finished that part of his trip 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: in Turkey. 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 3: He've engaged the Israelis on steps that they can take 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 3: to minimize civilian casualties. We're working, as I said, very 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 3: aggressively on getting more humanitarian sistance into Gaza, and we 15 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 3: have very concrete ways of doing that, and I think 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 3: you'll see in the days ahead that that assistance can 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 3: expand in significant ways. 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: And has talked about tactical pauses. That is what the 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: US is calling them, and it says the President Biden 20 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: has talked with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin that and Yahoo 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: today about how to do that. The United Nations has 22 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: issued an emergency appeal for one point two billion dollars 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: in funding to maintain humanitarian support for Palestinians in Gaza, 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: but a US diplomacy has not ended with Blincoln leaving 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: for Asia. Bloomberg's and Marie Hordern. 26 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 4: Bill Burns, head of the CIA, is also in Israel 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 4: today and is going to be traveling throughout the region. 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 4: So clearly what you see from this administration is one 29 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 4: they want to make sure humanitarian aid is getting into Gaza, 30 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 4: and at the same time they also want to make 31 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: sure that this conflict is not spread throughout the region. 32 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: And Ann Marie says the White House maintains the president's 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: military aid to Israel may double its Iron Dome arsenal, 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: that is the fourteen billion dollar aid request. Latest supports 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: are that deaths have passed ten thousand on the Gaza strip. 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: Donald Trump on the stand today in his New York 37 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: fraud trial, the issue whether he inflated his wealth to 38 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: get better terms from lenders and insurers. Bloomberg Legal editor 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: Tony Lynn says Trump gave about swinging from the start. 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 5: We've often seen you know, you know, once people are 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 5: under oath, they'll take a more measured sort of approach. 42 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 5: His sons, for instance, when they testified, they were sort 43 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 5: of much more moderate in tone than I guess some 44 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 5: of the rhetoric they've said. But I think Trump has not. 45 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 5: I didn't mince any words in terms of how he 46 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 5: feels about this proceeding. 47 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: And Tony said they really didn't seem to get a 48 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 2: lot out of that. 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 5: Of course. Yeah, the judge put it well, he said 50 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 5: it was essentially the broken record all this. He repeated 51 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 5: sort of a lot of his talking points about how 52 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 5: the whole thing was unfair. Everyone was happy with him, 53 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 5: the banks, no one was hurt by his statements of 54 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 5: financial condition. And that's what he said a lot of 55 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 5: where he's basically said, you know, they made these loans, 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 5: didn't matter what these statements said. They all made money 57 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 5: from it. 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but Attorney General, let teacher James said, they got 59 00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: what they wanted. 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 6: He rambled you, he hurled insults, but we expected that 61 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 6: at the end of the day, the documentary evidence demonstrated that, 62 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 6: in fact, he falsely inflated his assets to basically enrich 63 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 6: himself and his family. 64 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 2: And she says very apparent to the judge who makes 65 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: a final decision to that point, Farmer Prosecutor for the 66 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 2: Southern District of New York, Jessica Roth, says, a lot. 67 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 7: Of states, and so really what remains to be decided 68 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 7: is the amount of disgorgement of profits and also what 69 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 7: the remedy should be in terms of perhaps permanently enjoining 70 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 7: Trump and his family members from doing business in the 71 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 7: state of New York. 72 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: And Trump to think. 73 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: That we're being sued and spending all this time and money, 74 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: and you have people being killed all over the world. 75 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: That this country could stop. Ivanka Trump on the stand 76 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: on Wednesday, Global News twenty four hours a day, whenever 77 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: you want it with Bloomberg News Now in San Francisco. 78 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: I'm at Baxter and this is Bloomberg. 79 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: Well, we take a look now as some of the 80 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: top business stories of the hour.

They're trying to improve diplomatic and economic ties. 90 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 8: Some of the issues likely to be addressed include US 91 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 8: export controls in Chinese military engagement in the South China Sea. 92 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 8: The us AS is not seeking to decouple from China, 93 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 8: but rather it's looking to de risk and diversify. Chinese 94 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 8: officials have criticized that message.

The comments are made during an online 124 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 11: meeting on Monday attended by financial institutions.

It's going 131 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 9: to issue its monetary policy decision at two thirty pm 132 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 9: Sydney time. That's in just over four hours. Most economists 133 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 9: forecasting the IBA to lift the cash right by twenty 134 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 9: five basis points at that meeting after the third quarter 135 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 9: of CPI print came in hotter than expected. And this 136 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 9: comes even though the RBA's lifted rates by four hundred 137 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 9: basis points since April twenty twenty two, and that is 138 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 9: the fastest pace of tightening in the inflation targeting era. Inflation, 139 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 9: though proving stickier than expected. Bloomberg Economics has got an 140 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 9: out of consensus call for the RBA to stay on 141 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 9: hold four point one percent, which forecasts will be enough 142 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 9: to return inflation to the two to three percent target 143 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 9: ban by twenty twenty five. But whatever the RBA does today, 144 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 9: that hawkish bias going to remain in place. 145 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: Brian Yep Gordman Sachs is boosting pay incentives for its 146 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: asset management teams. Let's get that story from Bloombergs and Keats. 147 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 12: The changes instituted over the past several months will lift 148 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 12: the share of profits available for teams directly responsible for 149 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 12: the performance of Goldman's alternative investment funds. The share of 150 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 12: performance awards usually gets divvied up between employees and the 151 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 12: bank's own accounts. Under the new structure, investing teams will 152 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 12: receive forty to fifty percent of the pool. Goldman oversees 153 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 12: two hundred and sixty seven billion dollars in fee earning 154 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 12: alternative assets in Washington and Kate's Bloomberg Radio. 155 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: All right, at the time is twelve minutes passed. Oh 156 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention that China Wanka did trade up 157 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: seven and a quarter percent yesterday after that news emerged 158 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: here in the Hong Kong market. For the details later 159 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: in the program. Well, let's say good morning our time too. 160 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: Daniel Flatley, Bloomberg national security reporter to talk a little 161 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: bit more about some of these developments in the Gaza war. 162 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: So President Biden discussing this notion of a tactical pause 163 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: with the Israeli Prime Minister of Benjamin Netanyahu. I suppose 164 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: it for nothing else. I mean, it's always good to 165 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: have a little pause, but if for nothing else, just 166 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: to get more trucks in. I think I read that 167 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: only about two dozen relief trucks made it into Gaza 168 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours. 169 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, Brian, you know, these discussions are sort of ongoing, 170 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 13: and obviously we had US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln 171 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 13: in the region earlier today. I think you know what 172 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 13: Biden's pleas are running up against is Israel's desire to 173 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 13: not give Hamas a chance to breathe, a chance to regroup, 174 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 13: a chance to seize some initiative and maybe take the 175 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 13: fight back toward Israel. They're really trying to from what 176 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 13: we've seen, Israel I mean, is trying to sort of 177 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 13: cordon off that northern part of Gaza, especially around Gaza City, 178 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 13: and try to go basically house to house, street to 179 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 13: street to try to root out some of the Hamas militants, 180 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 13: and I think that the thinking is, at least on 181 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 13: the Israeli side, that if you pause that operation for 182 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 13: any you know, significant period of time, that you only 183 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 13: give your enemy a chance to regroup and strike back. Obviously, 184 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 13: the US feels somewhat differently about that, and I think 185 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 13: that there's a humanitarian argument that they're trying to make 186 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 13: to the Israelis about that. But you know, a very 187 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 13: complicated situation. 188 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, of the work of going block to block, house 189 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 9: to house, there is the issue of the tunnels as well. 190 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 9: Ours the Israeli military handling that well. 191 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 13: Obviously we know that you know, over the last several 192 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 13: weeks they've bombarded that area with air strikes, artillery, other 193 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 13: forms of heavy weaponry to sort of soften that area up, 194 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 13: so to speak. But as you say, you know, tunnels 195 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 13: are underground and built that way for that purpose to 196 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 13: shelter from from that kind of bombardment. So in terms 197 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 13: of the tunnels, it's very hard to figure out where 198 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 13: they are, where the locations are. You know, Secretary of 199 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 13: State Blincoln made some comments sort of talking about you know, 200 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 13: they may have looked at the tunnels issue. The US 201 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 13: may have looked at the tunnel issue to a certain extent, 202 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 13: But I think basically what they're trying to do is 203 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 13: as much as possible contain the conflict to that northern 204 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 13: part of Gaza in order to really root out the 205 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 13: Hamas leadership that may be sheltering in that area. 206 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: But as At Basha reported a few moments ago, and 207 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: as we know, the Israeli military said that it exchanged 208 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: fire with Hesbelah in Lebanon along with AMAS, so it 209 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: would seem that things are still in the expanding mode. 210 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think that that is going to continue to 211 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 13: be the case for a long time to come. You know, 212 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 13: not only is there the risk of an expanding conflict 213 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 13: to the north, but also you know, we've had some 214 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 13: strikes against US troops in Iraq and Syria and other places. 215 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 13: So I mean, clearly there is a desire to as 216 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 13: Israel is Israel's enemies. I guess we could say, as 217 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 13: Israel is getting more deeply involved in Gaza. You know, 218 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 13: Hesbela and others are seeking to take advantage of that 219 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 13: by potentially opening up another front that hasn't happened yet 220 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 13: to a great degree. But there's certainly some probing aspects 221 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 13: to what they're doing there. 222 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 9: We've had this denial from the US as well that 223 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 9: an Iranian report that it's seeking a cease file. But 224 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 9: what sort of back channels exist between the US and Iran? 225 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 9: Can we expect that there are conversations happening, Well. 226 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 13: There's always some form of communication happening, especially now considering 227 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 13: the Biden administration prior to this recent conflict, was trying 228 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 13: to resurrect some form of nuclear deal with Iran. So 229 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 13: I'm sure that there are diplomats that are talking back 230 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 13: and forth on the back channel to Iran. But I 231 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 13: think that a lot of this is playing out obviously 232 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 13: in public. We had the Iranian Foreign minister a couple 233 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 13: of weeks ago talking about the potential for the conflict 234 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 13: to expand. The US is very aggressive in terms of 235 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 13: sanctions and things that it's trying to do on Iran. 236 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 13: So I think that there's a bit of a chess 237 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 13: game going on here, where you may have some diplomacy 238 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 13: that's going on behind the scenes, but really a lot 239 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 13: of tough rhetoric in order to sort of keep a 240 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 13: lid on this conflict. Whether that will be successful in 241 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 13: the long run, you know, we don't know at this point. 242 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia, your morning brief on the 243 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: stories making news from Hong Kong to Singapore and Wall Street. 244 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 14: Look for us on your podcast feed every day, on Apple, Spotify, 245 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 14: and anywhere else you get your podcast. 246 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each day on Bloomberg eleven 247 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to 248 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, 249 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: and Bloomberg nine sixty in San Francisco. 250 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 14: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 251 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 14: Amazon Alexa devices.
