1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: ad Kleggy. ABC News has agreed to pay fifteen million

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: dollars toward Donald Trump's presidential library to set up a

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopolos's inaccurate on air assertion that

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: the president delact had been found civilly liable for raping

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: writer E. Gene Carroll. According to settlement documents made public Saturday,

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: ABC will also post a note on its website expressing

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: regret over the claim in a March tenth segment on

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Stephanopolos's This Week program, and pay one million dollars in

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: legal fees to Trump's lawyer. Trump sued Stephanopolis and ABC

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: for defamation days after the anchor claimed during an interview

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: with Representative Nancy Mace that Trump had been found liable

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: for rape, which misstated the verdicts in Carroll's two lawsuits

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: against him. There is no evidence that mysterious drones cited

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: in the Eastern US present a threat to national security

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: or to public safety, federal officials said this Saturday, in

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: an unusual briefing aimed at allaying public concern. The officials

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: attributed the sightings to people spotting drones flying lawfully or

19
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: misidentifying planes and helicopters. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security,

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: the FAA, and the FBI said their agencies are taking

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: concerns seriously, but they have found nothing to suggest malicious,

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: foreign or criminal actors. They said this, speaking on the

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: condition of anonymity. The briefing came amid rising public anxiety

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: and widening conspiracy theories. Efforts so far to downplay concern

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: have fanned skepticism as well as demands for a concrete

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: explanation from politicians from Massachusetts to Maryland, as well as

27
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: from President elect Trump. President elect Trump said he's appointing

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Devin Nunez, the chief executive officer of his Truth Social platform,

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: to head a presidential advisory board that he said, we'll

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: keep tabs on the US intelligence community. He also named

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Rick Grenell as Presidential Envoy for Special Missions. Grinnell, who

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: was Trump's first term ambassador to Germany, will work in

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: some of the hottest spots around the world, including Venezuela

34
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: and North Korea. Trump said this on his Truth social network.

35
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Knewn As, a former congressman from California and former chair

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: of the House Intelligence Committee will head the President's Intelligence

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Advisory Board while continuing his leadership of Trump Media and

38

Speaker 1: Technology Group. South Korean President Yun Voutu never give up

39
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: after lawmakers voted to impeach him Saturday, leaving him on

40
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the verge of being ousted after he shocked the nation

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: by briefly imposing martial law. The National Assembly passed the

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: impeachment bill with two hundred four lawmakers and the three

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: hundred member House in favor, exceeding the two thirds majority needed.

44
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had successful hip replacement surgery.

45
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: We get more from Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: A spokesperson says Pelosi is well on the mend after

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: suffering an injury during a congressional trip to commemorate a

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: World War II battle against Nazi Germany. The eighty four

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: year old Pelosi was injured during an official engagement marking

50
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: eighty years since the Battle of the Bult. A colleague

51
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: says he was near polo See when she fell. She

52
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: was treated by military staff at a US military hospital

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: in Western Germany and also at a hospital in Luxembourg.

54
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: Many of the Congressional delegation. Members attending had relatives who

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: fought in World War Two, including Pelosi's uncle. The Battle

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: of the Bulge pitted US, British and Canadian troops against

57
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,079

Speaker 1: Here's a warning if you own a Stanley switchback or

59
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: trigger action travel mug. Bloomberg's Nancy Lions has details.

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: The company has issued a voluntary recall of those products

61
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: following reports of lids detaching and causing burns. Apparently, the

62
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: lids can shrink when exposed to heat or torque, and

63
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: that causes them to detach while in use. So far, globally,

64
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: there have been ninety one reports of the lids detaching,

65
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: resulting in thirty eight burn injuries. You can register online

66
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: for a replacement lid. I'm Nancy Lyons Bloomberg Radio.

67
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Obesity is on the decline in the US for the

68
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: first time in a decade, and there may be a

69
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: simple reason why. As we hear from Bloomberg's Nathan Hagar.

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: It's probably the shots. A study just published in Jamma

71
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: Health Forum finds obesity levels in the US fell last

72
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: year from forty four point one to forty three point

73
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: nine six percent. That drop is just about a tenth

74
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 4: of one percent, but it is a dip for an

75
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: average body mass index in this country that has been

76
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: steadily rising for years. The biggest drop was in the South.

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 4: That's the region that's also got the highest concentration of

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 4: prescriptions for ozempic, Mountjaro and other wildly popular weight loss drugs.

Speaker 4: Nathan Hager, Bloomberg Radio.

81
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: more of a privilege than a rite. You could read
