<v Speaker 1>Nathan Karen, we begin with the latest in the war

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine. Foreign ministers from Russia and Ukraine met in

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Turkey today but failed to make progress in talks to

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>stop the war. Moscow says it will continue attacks until

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>its demands are met, including the surrender of Ukraine. We

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>get more from Bloomberg, said back Stair. President Zelenski's deputy

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>chief of staff, Zokova, says that ultimately it will be

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>solved whether Zelensky putin face to face. So asked the

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>world community to existance in having these direct negotiations to

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>sit down with at the negotiation table. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesman

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>John Kirby says the US doesn't think Poland's idea to

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>supply makes the Ukraine will work. The intelligence community has

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>assessed the transfer of mid twenty nine to Ukraine may

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>be mistaken as escalatory, and Kirby says that would hurt

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine even further. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg,

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Gay break all right and thank you Meantime, Ukrainian President

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>vladimir'sz Lensky is accusing Russia of war crimes, as after

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>an air strike hit an maternity hospital and the besieged

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>city of Mariopol. An aerial obama on an maternity hospital

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>is the conclusive evidence that what is happening is a

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 1>genocide of Ukrainians Europeans. You won't be able to say

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't see what happened to Ukrainians and Mary

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>up Paul, you saw. You know. Consequently, you must strengthen

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>sanctions against Russia so that it never has the chance

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to continue this genocide. President Zelenski. He said the attack

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>hill three people, including a child. That's according to Mario

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Pol's city council, and President Zelenski is still asking NATO

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to set up a no fly zone Karen, but the

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon warns that would escalate the situation. Illinois Democrat Roger

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Christian Murthy sits on the House Intelligence Committee. We can't

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>let Prutin decide what we're going to do to help

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>our friends defend their freedom. And so when President Zelenski

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.119
<v Speaker 1>asked us in a zoom call about a week ago

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to either enforce a no fly zone or give him

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the means to do so, I think we should do

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>whatever we can. Congressman Roger Christian Murthy spoke with our

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Washington corresponded Joe Matthew on Bloomberg Sound on Catch the

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>program weekdays at five pm Eastern on Bloomberg Radio, Well Nathan.

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The House has passed a more than thirteen billion dollar

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>aid package for Ukraine as part of a measure to

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>fund the US government for the coming year. Hemmy Morris

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>has the details from our Bloomberg newsroom in Washington. The

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>emergency Ukraine related spending includes six and a half billion

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>dollars for the Pentagon. That's three billion to bolster U

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>S troops in Europe and three and a half billion

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>to replace weapons given to Ukraine. Coronavirus funding was taken

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the measure, and domestic agencies will get their

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>biggest increases in years under the bill. Now it's up

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Senate to sign off on the legislation before

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 1>the current stop gap measure expires Friday night. Just in case,

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the House also sent the Senate a four day spending

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>bill just to buy a little extra time that one expires.

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>March fifteen. In Washington, I'm Amy Morris Bloomberg Daybreak. Okay, Amy,

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>thank you. The House also approved legislation barring US imports

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of Russian oil. Let's get the details on that live

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.799
<v Speaker 1>from Bloomberg's Rinita Young. Good morning, Grenita, Good morning Nathan.

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>The US ban on Russian oil imports would go into

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>effect forty five days after it's signed into law. The

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>House legislation also takes steps to review Russia's access to

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the World Trade Organization, and it reauthorizes and strengthens the

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Magnitsky Act, which calls for sanctions on offenders of human rights.

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>But the legislation does have a provision letting the President

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>allow some products to be imported from Russia if they're

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>in the national inter but they'll be subject to review

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>by Congress. Live in New York, I'm gonna need a

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>young Bloomberg Daybreak. I need to thank you. Inflation also

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and focus. This morning, with the release of February's consumer

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 1>price index, we get a preview from Bloomberg's Michael McKee.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>A few weeks ago, many economists were eyeing in February

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>as the peak in US consumer inflation. Now it's looking

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>more like a fresh baseline. The consumer price index is

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>forecast to rise the most since two but economists are

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 1>now saying it could peak somewhere in the eight to

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>nine percent range this month or next. The invasion of

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine and severe restrictions on the Russian economy will likely

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>send the prices of staples like oil and food soaring.

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Without knowing how long the war will last, it's hard

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>to know how high and for how long. Michael McKee,

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Mike, Thanks. There's also a major

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>market event overseas. We get a policy decision from the

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>European Central Bank this morning. Here with the details is

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg's Hana George. Faced with the twin challenges of inflation

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and war on its border, the ECB may postpone it's

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>timetable setting out and two trillions of euros of asset

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>purchases That would mark another abrupt shift in the central

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>bank stance. Just last month, President Christine Lagarde turned more

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>hawkish in the face of inflation that's almost three times

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the two percent target. The danger now is that the

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>invasion and sanctions against Russia will curb Europe's rebound from

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. In London, I'm Hannah George in book day Break, Right, Hannah,

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you, And corporate news this morning shares an Amazon

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>or surging there up more than six and a half

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.559
<v Speaker 1>percent in early training after announcing plans for a twenty

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>one stock split began more from Bloomberg's Charlie Pillett. It's

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.599

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>May twenty five. The e Commerce Giants Board also approved

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a ten billion dollar share buy bank program. The repurchase

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>authorization replaces a current five billion dollar plan approved in

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. The company previously split at stock three times

0:06:55.200 --> 0:07:02.800

<v Speaker 1>New Jersey Turnpike between exits twelve and thirteen. Details coming

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.680

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>going on in New York and around the world. Michael,

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>thank you very much. Nathan. The first licenses to sell

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>recreational pond in New York. We'll go to people who

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>have a record. State officials said that people with marijuana

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>related to convictions will get DIBs on the first one

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred two hundred retail cannabis licenses awarded by New York.

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>The state says it's part of a broader effort to

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>address the inequities of a justice system that locked up

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a disproportionate number of people of her for drug crimes.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Governor Kathy Hokel is set to announce the planned regulations

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>for a social equity applicants today. Meanwhile, Governor Hokel showed

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>her support for those suffering in Ukraine from the Russian

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>invasion and inter faith ceremony was held at a Ukrainian

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Orthodox cathedral in New York City. Hoko was there and

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>said she was immersing herself in the community. When I

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>look out in this room, yes, I hear the words

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>of prayer on your lips, and those are powerful words,

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>heartfelt words. But I also see tremendous pain in your eyes.

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Governor HOCl praise the defiance of the Ukrainian people in

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the face of Russia's invasion. South Korea's conservative president elect,

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Yune suk Yo, says he would solidify an alliance with

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the US, build up a powerful military, and sternly cope

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>with North Korean provocations. Hours after he won the country's

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>hard fought election to become its next leader, Une spoke

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>with President O Biden on the phone. The White House

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>is reacting to a bill that would make it illegal

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>in Florida to discuss sexual identity and orientation in some classrooms.

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>It heads through the governor's nest for signing. The state

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Senate passed the measure despite days of protests and student walkouts.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 1>The bill's supporters claim it gives parents more of a

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>say in their children's education. White House Press Secretary Jan Saki,

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 1>I think the most important question now is why are

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Florida leaders deciding they need to discriminate against kids who

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>are members of the l g B t q I community.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.839
<v Speaker 1>What prompts them to do that? Is it meanness? Is

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>it wanting to make kids have more difficult times in

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>school in their communities. President Biden has condemned the state measure,

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>but back as a U. S. Senator, Biden reportedly supported

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>similar legislation in Congress. Global News twenty four hours a

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 1>between the foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine wrapped up

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.079
<v Speaker 1>on the sidelines of a diplomatic summit in Turkey with

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>no progress. Russia conveyed it will continue attacks on Ukraine

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>until demands are met. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization said

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>it has confirmed eighteen attacks on medical facilities since the

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Russian invasion began two weeks ago. Major League Baseball, that's

<v Speaker 1>cut another week of the upcoming season with a lockout

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.240

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>until April fourteenth, at the earliest. In the NBA, the

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Knicks and Celtics won, the Wizards lost. In the NHL,

<v Speaker 1>for International Government, Rosalind Matheson is with us as we

<v Speaker 1>continue trying to sort out some of the latest information

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to these talks that just ended in

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Turkey between the farm ministers of Russia and Ukraine. Ros,

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>good morning. It sounds as though not much progress has

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>been made in those types. Can you give us some

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>details sort of flush things out for us. Well, that's right.

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So this was the highest level conversation in person that's

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>happened between Ukraine and Russia since the war broke out,

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and this was an attempt, particularly on the Ukraine side,

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>at least to get some kind of formal agreement on

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>temporary cease fires to allow people to leave certain areas

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of Ukraine that are under heavy attack. But even that

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't seem to come on the table. The Russian Foreign

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 1>minister said he was actually not there to discuss any

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of ceasefire at all. It's slightly unclear what he

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>was in fact there to talk about, given there seemed

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to be no tangible takeaways from it, aside from both

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>sides saying yeah, they're both realized that they can keep

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 1>having a conversation going. If anything, it was an opportunity

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>for Russia to repress its demands on Ukraine, saying it

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>wants all its demands met in order for Ukraine to

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>surrender and for Russia to pull its troops back out.

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>So possibly it was a meeting where they spent an

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>hour and a half talking out each other rather than

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>listening to each other. Certainly there's no sense of when

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>a follow up meeting may happen. Uh and and right

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 1>now we're back to square one. Wow, do we have

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>any further clarity on what Russia's demands are? It sounded

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 1>as though there might have been a little bit of

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>wiggle room in the last couple of days about regime

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>change at least in Ukraine. What are the demands from

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Russia right now? So they have moved about a bit,

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>but they seem to really involve the full demilitarization of Ukraine,

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the recognition by Ukraine that separatist areas inside Ukraine are

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in fight independent and that also would include Crimea from

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and fourteen, agreeing to what they would quote neutrality,

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>which seems to be the Ukraine cannot make any further

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>overtures towards Europe at NATA or the European Union, and

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>possibly the removal of the government. As you say, some

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>officials have said that they don't intend to replaced the regime,

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>but that contrast certainly with what with what the Russian

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>president was saying in the early days after the invasion.

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>He made it very clear he wanted that government gone.

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 1>It sounds as though the diplomats are pretty far apart

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 1>as well on what's happening on the ground in Ukraine.

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 1>We've seen the images come out of the besieged ports

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 1>city of Mariopol, of hospitals coming under attack, reports of

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>children and other civilians being killed in what sounds like

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>indiscriminate attacks from Russia. At the same time, the Foreign

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Minister Sergei Lavrov is dismissing those reports, calling it fake news.

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>What does that say about where these things are going? Well,

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>that's right. In fact, the Russian Foreign minister used the

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>meeting today to say that Russia had not actually attacked

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine at all, so again sort of trying to reiterate

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>um their point of view, and they were saying both

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 1>today and yesterday that that shelling of a hospital in Mariopool,

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>which is the besieged city in the eastern part of Ukraine,

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.159
<v Speaker 1>that that hospital had been empty at the time and

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>was occupied not by by women and children and babies,

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>but by Ukraine forces and that's why it was shelled.

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.959
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Ukraine says that there were women and children

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>in the hospital at the time and several were killed

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>or injured. So you're just seeing these accusations traded across

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the board, and that just makes it even harder to

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>find a way to see how they can sit down

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>at the table and have a proper conversation, a sober

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 1>conversation that takes that emotion in some way out of

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>it and allows them to find a way forward given

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the accusations that they seem to be slinging at each other.

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Still now last minute here rise. In the meantime, the

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.479
<v Speaker 1>US European allies are looking for ways to continue supporting Ukraine.

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>But it sounds like this idea from Poland of sending

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>in its fighter jets and replacing them with US jets

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>is a no goal. So where did things go from

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:52.360
<v Speaker 1>here in terms of the allied response to supporting Ukraine. Well,

0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that's right, and in fact Poland was very anxious about

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the idea of sending any of its spider jets into Ukraine.

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 1>It was under a lot of pressure publicly from Ukraine

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to do so. So it's solution was to offer to

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.919
<v Speaker 1>send them somewhere else, to have NATO decide as a

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 1>whole what to do with them, because it was concerned

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that if it's fighters went in, Russia would see that

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>as a direct act of aggression. So you see NATO

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>really kind of ringing itself in knots a bit about

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>how they can support Ukraine but not get drawn in

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 1>fully into a conflict directly. So that means no fly zone,

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>it means they won't send fighter jets in. They'll continue

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.479
<v Speaker 1>to send Member States military equipment in and they'll support

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>from Afar, but a real sense of our needs about

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.439
<v Speaker 1>the possibility that somehow this conflict could write, could widen,

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and they could get caught up in it too. Thanks

<v Speaker 1>sirens and Ukraine's capital Key This morning, as Russia's invasion

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:27.360
<v Speaker 1>enters its third week, Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelenski says he's

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>willing to consider compromises, but won't seed territory. Well, we would.

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>You must strengthen sanctions against Russia so that it never

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 1>has the chance to continue this genocide. You need a

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.399
<v Speaker 1>pressure Russia, so that it sits at the negotiating table

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and ends this barbarous war. Zelenski says he has not

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>spoken to Vladimir Putin. Foreign ministers from Russia and Ukraine

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.880
<v Speaker 1>spoken Turkey today with no breakthrough, Moscow says it will

0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:54.440
<v Speaker 1>continue its attack until demands are met. It's seeking surrender

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.679
<v Speaker 1>from Ukraine. Back in Washington, Karen, Congress is ramping up

0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>pressure on Moscow. The House pass to build a band

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 1>oil imports from Russia. Bloomberg's Rnita Young joins US Live

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Rnita Nathan. The US ban on Russian oil imports would

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 1>go into effect forty five days after it's signed into law.

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>The House legislation also takes steps to review Russia's access

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 1>to the World Trade Organization, and it reauthorizes and strengthens

0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the Magnitsky Act, which calls for sanctions on offenders of

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>human rights. But the legislation does have a provision letting

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the President allow some products to be imported from Russia

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:29.920
<v Speaker 1>if they're in the national interests, but they'll be subject

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>to review by Congress Live in New York. I'm Gonnita Young,

0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Daybreak, A right, Rinda, thank you at turning to

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Today, it's all about inflation and the consumer

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>price indexes they swected increase at a seven point nine

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.920
<v Speaker 1>percent annual rate, and Bloomberg's Vinnidale Juda says more red

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 1>hot inflation. It's probably going to get worse as the

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 1>war in Ukraine sends global food energy prices higher. Ukraine

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:55.640
<v Speaker 1>is a major wheat exporter, Russia oil and gas. For now,

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.880
<v Speaker 1>what economists are saying US inflation could peak somewhere around

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.400
<v Speaker 1>eight percent or nine for sent perhaps in a month

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:04.960
<v Speaker 1>or two. Judace Bloomberg, daybreak right, Vinny, thank you. In

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>overseas markets, the focus is on monetary policy. The European

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Central Bank decides on whether to raise interest rates and

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 1>ease asset purchases. That strategy could be delayed as it

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>navigates inflation and economic shocks from the war and back.

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Here in the US, Nathan, for the first time in

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 1>two decades, Amazon is splitting its stock. The company plans

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.919
<v Speaker 1>to boost its outstanding shares by a twenty to one ratio.

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>It's also authorizing a ten billion dollar stock buy back.

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 1>Amazon shares are up five and a half percent in

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:32.439
<v Speaker 1>early trading. That's the five things you need to know

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to start your day. Brought to you by Interactive Brokers.

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Karen sixty three now in Wall Street, thirty three,

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 1>foggy degrees in Central Park, all sorts of problems on

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:45.439
<v Speaker 1>the New Jersey Turnpike. Will get the details for you

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in traffic shortly. First, Michael Barr, what else is going

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>on in New York and around the world. Thank you

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>very much, Nathan. First hot sale permits in New York

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:57.640
<v Speaker 1>State will go to people with convictions. The state's going

0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to award up to two hundred only of people who

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 1>have been convicted of marijuana related crimes. Governor Kathy Hokel

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 1>says it's an effort to address the inequities of a

0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:09.880
<v Speaker 1>system which has locked up people of color for such

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:14.879
<v Speaker 1>offenses at disproportionate rates and in her faith. Ceremony in

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.160
<v Speaker 1>support of Ukraine was held out of Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 1>in New York City. Governor Hokel attended the event and

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:24.159
<v Speaker 1>praised the defiance of the Ukrainian people in the face

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of Russia's invasion. Ukrainians stand up, women grabbing weapons and

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 1>going to the front line, some taking their children as safety,

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>but others staying I'll stand with the men and will

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>fight back. Governor Hokel said she was immersing herself in

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the community. South Korea has elected a new president, Conservative

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Une Szukio defeated his rival in one of the country's

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.880
<v Speaker 1>most closely fought presidential elections. Une spoke with President Joe

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden shortly after his win. He takes office in May.

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Former astronaut Scott Kelly is upset with the head of

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Russia's space agency for threatening on social media to leave

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:04.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the American astronauts on the International Space Station

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 1>behind when a Russian soy Use spacecraft departs the station

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>later this month. Kelly says he found the comments outrageous.

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 1>The people at the Russian Space Agency, I've known many

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of them for well over two decades. I trust them.

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I've literally literally trusted them with my life before. Kelly

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>also says the events of the past few weeks have

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:27.679
<v Speaker 1>taught us to prepare for the worst and hope for

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the best. A federal lawsuit filed in Colorado claims a

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:36.240
<v Speaker 1>group of Donald Trump's supporters called the US Election Integrity Plan,

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>has been sending its agents to people's homes in an

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>effort to intimidate voters they are said to have sent agents,

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in some cases armed to voters homes, asking questions and

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.679
<v Speaker 1>taking pictures. Courtney hostedd Lary is one of the attorneys

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 1>on the suit. What it means is voters now have

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to be worried about, you know, whether or not voting

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to bring somebody dangerous to their dwarf attorney

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 1>asked Adler say as the suit sites the Voting Rights

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.800

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 1>l A. They came from twenty down at Sacramento and

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 1>they cruised to an easy win in Dallas one oh

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 1>seven seventies seven. So After going nearly two months without

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 1>two wins in a row, the Knicks has now won

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 1>three straight. Julius Randall, coming off a career high forty

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.879
<v Speaker 1>six points this time, had twenty six at his hometown. R. J.

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Barrett added eighteen those in the games, that's all we're

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:57.119
<v Speaker 1>doing different, you know, because the past couple of games

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>before that we always you know, are winning, would leave

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>and we will lose it. So the differences now. Randall

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>called it the knicks best defensive effort of the season.

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>They held the MAVs to thirty one percent shooting. Dallas

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.880
<v Speaker 1>was six of forty four on three pointers. Started over

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>nineteen nixer in Memphis tomorrow, Nets and sixers tonight in Philadelphia.

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>So the Nets face James Harden. Ben Simmons still not

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.199
<v Speaker 1>playing yet for his new team. He had refused to

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.879
<v Speaker 1>play for Philly. He will be there tonight sitting on

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the Nets bench. Big East Tournament Garden St. John beat

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>De Paul seventy free. Steaton Hall got by Georgetown fifty

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>seven fifty three. Big upset at the Matt Tourney in

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Atlantic City, Rider top Diona seventy one seventy. The Gals

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 1>had beaten the Bronx twice in the regular season, once

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:43.919
<v Speaker 1>by twenty six, but Rider advances in Iona will settle

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>for the n I T. Colgate go into the n

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 1>C Double as the second in a row. The baseball

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 1>lockout continues. Two more series canceled now wiped out as

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.399
<v Speaker 1>a Mets road trip in Philly and Washington and a

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:58.199
<v Speaker 1>Yankee homestand with Toronto and Boston. The earliest the season

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>could begin is now four. John Stally movers Okay, John,

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you. At six thirty seven on Wall Street. Let's

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 1>get more now. On this morning's Market Action, Bloomberg television

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:12.200
<v Speaker 1>anchor and markets reporter Danny Berger is with us this morning.

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.639
<v Speaker 1>So much for the relief rally, Danny, I know, really

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 1>running out of steam. I mean there there were a

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of questions yesterday should be said, whether you know

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.440
<v Speaker 1>there was any staying power to the rally, But we

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.360
<v Speaker 1>should say that this is a market that is trading

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:28.640
<v Speaker 1>based off of headlines, and that's what it really needs.

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 1>It needs more positive headlines coming out of Ukraine, coming

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:36.399
<v Speaker 1>out of Russia, anything to alleviate some of the supply pressures,

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 1>anything that brings the price of oil down. And we

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:42.160
<v Speaker 1>just haven't had that today, So absent any positive news,

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:46.200
<v Speaker 1>this is what the market has been doing, just drifting downwards. Yeah,

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it does seem as though the warheadlines, all the developments

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 1>there have pushed off what we thought would have been

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the catalysts a couple of weeks ago. Of course, central

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>banks and inflation, Yeah, exactly, it's it's it's a strange

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 1>world where these types of things take a back seat. Now,

0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the ECB decision, it will be really fascinating today because

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the ECB is in a very difficult position. Um, they're

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 1>facing a crisis on their hands, in economic crisis of course,

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>alongside the humanitarian one. Um, but what tools do they

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 1>have to ensure that economy stays stable? Inflation is shooting higher, um,

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And they've already are at they're already at an extremely

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 1>accommodative stance considering Um, you know, we're only just starting

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 1>to get out of the damage COVID did to the economy.

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 1>So you know, what are they going to do? It's

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>very unclear, but it will set the pace for other

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:39.800
<v Speaker 1>central banks as they deal with this crisis. And of course,

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously we're gonna be looking ahead to the Fed on

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday and we get the CPI data just a couple

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of hours from now, Could that be a catalyst when

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we're expecting yet another historically high print for prices. I

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 1>think that the expectation for high inflation in the U

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 1>s is baked into the cave. Of course, there are

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 1>people who see even more inflation. Um. There have been

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 1>double digit estimates thrown out there, um. And so yeah,

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll have these numbers today. But I have to say

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that most people already anticipating that they will

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be extremely high. And much like the ECB, isn't a

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 1>difficult position. Certainly the said will be as well. Do

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>they need to slam on the brakes? But we're doing

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>so hamper US economic growth with all these supply constraints

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>as well. Lots to keep on top of this morning

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>for Bloomberg television anchor and markets reporter Danny Burger. We

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 1>get that ECB decision just a few minutes from now actually,

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:39.560

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:03.120
<v Speaker 1>around the Karen, thank you very much. Ukraine and Russia

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>made little progress in halting the war. At the first

0:33:05.920 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>high level talks between their foreign ministers since the Russian

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:13.560
<v Speaker 1>invasion began, Russia indicated it will continue attacks until its

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 1>goals are met. Russia and Ukraine's foreign ministers met in

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Turkey today. Meanwhile, the City Council of Marupol says a

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Russian air strike on a hospital kill three people, including

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a child. Major League Baseball has cut another week of

<v Speaker 1>the upcoming season with a lockout and it's day. The

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:34.959
<v Speaker 1>decision means the season won't begin until April fourteenth at

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the earliest. In the NBA the next and Celtics won,

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the Wizards lost. In the NHL, the Capitals lost in

<v Speaker 1>overtime to the Oilers. For three Global News twenty four

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 1>hours a day on air and on Bloomberg Quicktake, powered

0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>by more than twenty seven under journalist and analysts more

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 1>than a hundred twenty countries. Michael Barr, this is Bloomberg.

0:33:54.280 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 1>The following commentary is from Bloomberg Opinion Audiences. I'm Jonathan Instein,

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a calumnist for Bloomberg Opinion. Joe Biden's public statement announcing

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 1>a US cut off of Russian oil was an excellent

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 1>example of how multiple audiences complicate and constrain presidents. Start

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:13.319
<v Speaker 1>with Vladimir Putin, Biden's goal continues to be impressing on

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>him how seriously the U S and its allies take

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Putin's aggression and how severe the consequences will be without

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 1>doing anything that risks enlarging the war. Biden's next audience

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Ukrainians. He wants them to keep fighting and

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 1>feel strong support, even if he can't give them the

0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:30.760
<v Speaker 1>unqualified assistance they want. And then there are NATO allies,

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:33.800
<v Speaker 1>friendly nations, other world leaders, as well as private companies

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and other non government actors, all of whom pay attention

0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to what presidents say. Only after all of that can

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Biden worry about audiences at home, including voters. For them,

0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden's interest remains playing down the rush of Ukraine situation.

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>His primary message for voters remains reassuring them that the

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 1>United States is not at war and will not go

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to war, whatever else he's saying for others. I'm Jonathan

<v Speaker 1>making news and science, Technology, Engineering, and math. President Biden

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:40.120
<v Speaker 1>has signed an executive order on government overside of cryptocurrency

0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that urges the Federal Reserve to explore whether the Central

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Bank should jump in and create its own digital currency.

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 1>The government says survey show that roughly sixteen percent of

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 1>adult Americans, or forty million people, have invested in cryptocurrencies.

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 1>US Climate Envoy John Kerry says he thinks rich countries

0:35:56.680 --> 0:35:59.120
<v Speaker 1>can finally meet their pledge to provide one hundred billion

0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:02.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars annually to help poor nations cope with climate change

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 1>beginning this year and will definitely reach that amount in

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 1>three That would be at least two years later than

0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the targets sent by developed countries at a UN Climate

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 1>summit in Copenhagen in two thousand nine. And for the

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:16.960
<v Speaker 1>first time in more than two decades, Amazon is planning

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to split its stock. The e commerce giant announced at

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty for one to split and at ten billion dollar

0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>share buy back. Tech giants such as Alphabet and Apple

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:27.759
<v Speaker 1>have used stock splits to make their shares more attractive

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.759
<v Speaker 1>to retail investors, and as a Bloomberg n j I

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 1>t Stem report Nathan Okay, Karen, thank you. We are

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:36.400
<v Speaker 1>live from the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studios where it's almost

0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 1>six fifty two on Wall Street time now to check

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:40.840
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in DC. Very busy times in the

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>nation's capital, the House has voted to ban Russian oil

0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:47.000
<v Speaker 1>imports in it a bipartisan uproar over the war in Ukraine,

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 1>lawmakers have passed to one and a half trillion dollars

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:52.880
<v Speaker 1>spending measure with Ukraine eight as well, and the US

0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 1>is considering looser economic restrictions on Venezuela. Let's bring in

0:36:57.719 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Government Congressional reporter Jack fitz Patrick, who has been

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 1>very busy covering all these developments. Jack, good morning. Let's

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>start with the Russian oil band. Seems like that's at

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 1>least one thing that lawmakers can find bipartisan agreement around. Yeah,

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that had a lot of bipartisan support. It did get

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 1>watered down a little bit. This essentially follows the track

0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that President Biden has already chosen to take his He

0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 1>was pushed by Congress to take this path to cut

0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 1>off any imports of Russian oil, gas, and coal. Uh.

0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't add much else. Besides that, there appeared to

0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 1>be bipartisans support for a measure to uh end Russia's

0:37:38.640 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 1>normal trade status, effectively allowing more tariffs on Russia that

0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:46.400
<v Speaker 1>ended up getting pulled out at the request of the

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:49.719
<v Speaker 1>White House. So it's not entirely clear where this goes

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate because there is support for this kind

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of bill, but it doesn't really push anything much further.

0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh So we haven't heard when it would get a

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Senate vote exactly. It is by artisan but it really

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:05.719
<v Speaker 1>has been mirrored by President Biden's own actions in his

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 1>own right. Have we got any more clarity from the

0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:10.680
<v Speaker 1>White House on why they didn't want that normal trade

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:14.880
<v Speaker 1>status provision included, not specifically. They played that pretty quietly.

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Our colleagues have reported that that was taken out at

0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the request of the White House, but they, uh, you know,

0:38:21.080 --> 0:38:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I have have not really laid out their reasoning exactly.

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I think the broader context is they have tried to

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 1>keep some options on the table. They haven't argued outright

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:35.200
<v Speaker 1>against the idea of more sanctions on Russia, but when

0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Congress has sought to push them to do more, the

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 1>White House has often sort of gone back and said,

0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:46.720
<v Speaker 1>let's leave ourselves some options, possibly adding some in the future,

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>depending on exactly how this plays out over the next

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 1>month or more. And it certainly looks as though Congress

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 1>hasn't closed the door on further aid to Ukraine. Well,

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about this big spending bill that finally got

0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:02.160
<v Speaker 1>past out of the House. It includes a lot more

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine aid than even the White House have been asking for. Yeah,

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the the conversation initially was for I think six point

0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 1>four billion was the first request for Ukraine aid it

0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:15.360
<v Speaker 1>went up to ten billion. Then the House just passed

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:19.919
<v Speaker 1>thirteen point six billion UH in this supplemental Ukraine bill

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:23.400
<v Speaker 1>along with the broader government funding bill. About half of

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that almost half, about a six and a half billion,

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 1>goes to d O D, largely to refill their coffers

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:33.960
<v Speaker 1>for things they've already done to help Ukraine. But there

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:37.799
<v Speaker 1>are there's a few billion dollars for humanitarian needs UH

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and members we've talked to, including Chris Murphy and the

0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Senate have already said, you know, this could be more

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:45.400
<v Speaker 1>of a down payment. We could actually see more bills

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:48.480
<v Speaker 1>in the future, either on the defense side and or

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:52.759
<v Speaker 1>the humanitarian side for Ukraine. Finally, Jack, what more are

0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 1>we hearing about this potential faugh in relations between the

0:39:56.320 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>US and Venezuela. We know there was that surprise meeting

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 1>over the week end with Biden administration officials in Venezuela.

0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:06.600
<v Speaker 1>What's what's come out of that? Yes, our colleague Jordan

0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Fabian has has reported, citing an administration official, that that

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:14.239
<v Speaker 1>conversation did occur and that really the focus was that

0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 1>if the US is going to relax economic pressure and

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:22.520
<v Speaker 1>if there's going to be especially imports of Venezuelan oil

0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:26.800
<v Speaker 1>to the US. They're waiting to see how conversations between

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas Maduro and his political opposition go. So this is

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:33.480
<v Speaker 1>essentially seems to be a message from the White House,

0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:38.439
<v Speaker 1>uh that they want to see uh some democratic reforms

0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:43.879
<v Speaker 1>or movement toward democracy before really opening up a real

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:47.839
<v Speaker 1>economic relationship between the US and Venezuela. I certainly would

0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:50.600
<v Speaker 1>be a big shift in foreign policy. Okay, Jack, thanks

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:15.799
<v Speaker 1>we are celebrating significant moments in women's history. Now at

<v Speaker 1>your installment for March tenth, here's Bloomberg shre eight a

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 1>young on this day in women's history. In twenty fifteen,

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles celebrates Susan An Cutty Day. She's the first

0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Asian American woman to join the U. S. Navy and

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>its first female Gunneryofficer. Cutty rose to the rank of lieutenant.

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>She later worked for U. S. Naval Intelligence, the Library

0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of Congress, and the National Security Agency. Cutty is also

0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 1>the daughter of the first married Korean couple to immigrate

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:48.080
<v Speaker 1>to the US. She served during World War Two. During

0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the first celebration of Susann Cutty Day, she was one

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 1>hundred years old, she said when the war came, she

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:57.319
<v Speaker 1>was motivated to fight for freedom, and it didn't matter

0:41:57.400 --> 0:42:01.240
<v Speaker 1>whether she was Asian or not. During her service, Cutty

0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 1>had to endure segregation and racism and had to marry

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:08.440
<v Speaker 1>her Irish American husband on a naval base because interracial

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:11.320
<v Speaker 1>marriages were against the law at the time in Virginia.

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:14.839
<v Speaker 1>That's to day in women's history. I'm RENI to young
