Speaker 3: I remain concerned about whether inflation will return to target

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: in a sustainable and timely way, and I think more

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: restrictive monetary policy will be needed to achieve the fomc's

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,319

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: and thirty thousand jobs were created last month, which would

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,200

Speaker 4: The US channel relationship is at its lowest point in

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,680

00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: and communications are vital and e economic officials in the

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: US and China just don't know each other, and you

40
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,800

41
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,120

Speaker 5: and Singapore. Sure it was to celebrate the two firms

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 5: coming together, but the underlying message was clear find net

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: new money. Conn is betting that Asia will generate lucrative

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 5: fees even as Credit Suisse suffers outflows in other regions.

57

Speaker 1: Hunt will unveil the step on Monday as part of

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: a review of rules. Bloomberg's Tom McKenzie reports it.

64
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 6: Looks like Miffed Too may be scrapped in the UK.

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 6: The Chancellor is expected to make an announcement in his

66
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 6: Mansion House speech on Monday to accept the findings of

67
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 6: a lawyer led review. The key piece of EU legislation

68
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 6: forced financial firms to separate the cost of investment research

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: from trading expenses, but critics say it resulted in less

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 6: investment research being made available. Rolling it back may be

71
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 6: part of the Chancellor's efforts to boost the attractiveness of

72
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 6: the UK's financial services in London. I'm Tom McKenzie, Bloomberg

73
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 6: day Break, Europe.

74
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,040

00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,480

78
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: Foreign minister, Tobias Bilstrom said they would like to see

79
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: a clear response from Turkey.

80
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 7: We have reteriated over and over again. But we live

81
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 7: in a world now following russia suggression in Ukraine, but

82
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 7: is very unstable and that is shown not at least

83
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 7: in the part of the world where we live, namely

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 7: the northern part of Europe. Sweden joining the NATO is

85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 7: going to bring a lot more security to the table.

86
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 7: Sweden not being present in NATO is going to do

87
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 7: exactly the opposite.

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: That was Tobias Beltrum, Sweden's foreign minister, speaking to Bloomberg

89
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: ahead of the NATO summit in Lithuania on Monday.

90
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: And finally, Samsung has reported its worst decline in quarterly

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: revenue since at least two thousand and nine. Shares slid

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: two percent in Seoul, with a vestas uncertain when a

93
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: year long electronics in memory chip demand slump will actually end.

94
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: The Korean tech john's twenty two percent decline in sales

95
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: was larger than expected, though the ninety six percent drop

96
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: in operating profit was less bad than forecasts. Those are

97
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: top stories.

98
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: Well something to think about on this Friday morning, especially

99
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: as the weather is heating up again, summer travel everyone's

100
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: looking forward to there's summer holidays. Not wait, somebody's coming

101
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: up in the papers in a moment about that. But

102
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: I do recommend today the piece from Andrea Felstadt, our

103
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: Bloomberg opinion columnist about the phenomenon of peak holiday travel

104
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: and that actually twenty twenty through twenty twenty three may

105
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: see the peak in that as well. And this is

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: partly linked to what we've heard from airlines, for example,

107
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: over the past few months about how seats are going

108
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: to remain more expensive post COVID book of a whole

109
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: range of reasons. But of course higher interest rates going

110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: to feed into people spending. People are still spending on

111
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: holidays for now, we know that from all of the

112
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: reports we've gotten recently out of travel related companies. But

113
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: the question is when we get to this time next year,

114
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: will people be that much worse off that they won't

115
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: be able to afford their summer holidays.

116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Well, and also there was the you know, the revenge

117
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: travel theme too, was definitely there after COVID, that people

118
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: wanted to go to wonderful, far flung places to enjoy themselves,

119
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: which they'd missed out on. But yes, you're right, interest

120
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: rates and also the fact that those holidays and the

121
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: weeks in the sun are much more expensive now than

122
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: they were previously because of inflation. That actually that may

123
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: not be sustainable. So the industry, airline industry, hotel industries

124
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: done quite well, but maybe that won't continue. Yeah, piece

125
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: is very good.

126
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she also digs into the idea of how

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: people are also booking later, partly because of those those

128
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: price challenges as well. So anyway, worth the read if

129
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: you're thinking about your summer holidays this morning.

130
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now dogged least on US employment, boosted expectations for

131
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: interest rates and saw treasuries tank. On Thursday, benchmark treasury

132
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: yields have ropped back through four percent, and those on

133
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's index of global government bonds have hit a fifteen

134
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: year high. Joining US now. Bloomberg's executive editor for Agent

135
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Markets Paul Dobson, and you're actually in the radio studio

136
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: in London, Paul, lovely to have you with US. Markets

137
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: are now bracing for the non farm pay rolls today.

138
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: What should we expect from today's figures because that was

139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: the big driver yesterday ADP.

140
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, and so I guess people really don't know

141
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 8: what to expect. I mean, the ADP figure was so

142
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 8: remarkably strong and such an outlier relative today's expectations, and

143
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 8: that's why we saw a rather extreme reaction in the markets.

144
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 8: The ADP has not always been the best predictor of

145
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 8: what the non farm payrolls report shows are. The following

146
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 8: day that said, I guess we're now all rushed to

147
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 8: the other side of the ship and we're all expecting

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 8: a very big number again today here, and so we'll

149
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 8: be keeping an eye not just on the headline figure

150
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 8: of course, but on the average hourly wages numbers as well,

151
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 8: so tend to tell us more about what the inflationary

152
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 8: outlook is.

153
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly. I mean, looking at the reaction in bond markets,

154
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: this huge routing trousurries. Now looking at your yield over

155
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: five percent for trousuries this morning. This is affecting markets

156
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: all over the.

157
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 8: World, absolutely, and we saw the rises in bond yields,

158
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 8: or the sell off in bond prices carry on through

159
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 8: to ages today, lifting those interest rates in markets like

160
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 8: Australia too. I think it's really interesting that we have

161
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 8: that global aggregate index average yields back up to the

162
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 8: highest level since two thousand and eight, and returns on

163
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 8: government bonds or on global bonds for the year are

164
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 8: now basically back to zero. When you know, at the

165
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 8: start of the year, everyone was counting on this as

166
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 8: the place to put your money, take that yield and

167
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 8: presumably have a little bit of capital gains as well

168
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 8: from increases in prices, So that part of the investment

169
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 8: outlook has been rather scotched. Now we're starting to see

170
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 8: that push over into the equity side as well, So

171
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,479
Speaker 8: I think that's really interesting that sort of shifting correlation

172
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 8: from people seeing the economy and the better economic news

173
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 8: is good for stocks. Last week, now everyone's worried again

174
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 8: the interest rate environment is just going to have to

175
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 8: become a lot more restrictive.

176
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. So what is it done to

177
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: pricing around the Fed's path? Is it shades of twenty

178
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: twenty two all over again?

179
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, it definitely. It definitely has that sort of feeling

180
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 8: the air, although I mean, you know, for all of that,

181
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 8: we're pricing in one more FED rate hike pretty soon

182
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 8: and then another one by the end of the year.

183
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 8: So it's not extreme. It's not like the market is

184
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 8: absolutely terrified now relative to the UK. Of course, where

185
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 8: are these expectations and what's baked in? Or a lot

186
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 8: higher again, and we're still looking for a much more

187
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 8: aggressive BOE taking interest rates here higher still, so you

188
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 8: could argue that their scope for FED pricing to continue

189
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 8: to seep into those erschel and yields in particular. I

190
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 8: think the other thing to consider when you're looking across

191
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 8: the yield curve is that the past few times when

192
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 8: we've got to around four percent on the tenure treasury,

193
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 8: that's brought in longer term investors, pension funds, that kind

194
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 8: of type of investor looking to lock in those long

195
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 8: term yields. They see that as an attractive play. And

196
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 8: so maybe, you know, even if we continue to feel

197
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 8: that pressure at the short ends of the yield curve,

198
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 8: there might be a little bit more support out there

199
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 8: for the back end.

200
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: What does all of this mean in terms of what

201
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve does next.

202
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 8: Well, we heard from some of the fair policies makers

203
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 8: this week talking about the need for more hikes. We

204
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 8: saw in the minutes there was certainly a feeling among

205
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 8: a good number of the officials that further hikes and needed.

206
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 8: I think the FED has been pretty explicit in the

207
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 8: need to get inflation under control and the willingness to

208
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 8: slow growth or ever and trigger you know, some sort

209
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 8: of a recession if that's what's needed in order to

210
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 8: win this battle, because it's so worried that those inflation

211
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 8: expectations become unanchored. So I don't think that they will

212
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 8: be worried about what the market is doing. So much

213
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 8: is worried about what inflation is doing and still paying

214
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 8: attention to try to get that under control.

215
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul, I think it's a bit of a crucial moment,

216
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: isn't it in markets today. We've thought we might be

217
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: sitting the start of summer, but.

218
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 8: Maybe that's Yeah, this is my this is my summer holiday, Caroline.

219
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 8: Good welcome and cold weather and.

220
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: And big moves in bond markets. Well, thank you so

221
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: much for popping into the studio. Lovely to see you

222
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: actually in person, say Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's executive editor for Asia. Markets.

223
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: Up next, more bad news on HS two casts and

224
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: London air pollution warning. Now the paper review on Bluebird

225
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: Daybreak Europe.

226
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 6: The news you need to know from today's papers.

227
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: Blue again and joins us this morning for more. The

228
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: Financial Times has the headline decision to delay HS two's

229
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: London terminus will cost at least two hundred million pounds.

230
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: The whole not far from where I live in Houston,

231
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: is going to remain then the construction.

232
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 9: Oh Caroline, Yes, by the looks of it for now,

233
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 9: but who knows what the future has to hold. But

234
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 9: the additional two hundred million pound figure has actually been

235
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 9: revealed in a report from a cross party group of

236
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 9: MPs that will be published today, and I must say something,

237
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 9: it's pretty scathing. They're warning the government's decision to delay

238
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 9: constructing HS two will cost this huge sum of money,

239
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 9: and they actually argue that from the very very beginning

240
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 9: the budget was completely unrealistic and one of the biggest

241
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 9: headaches has been the tunnel close to Caroline has been

242
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 9: the rebuilding of Houston Station actually to accommodate huge high

243
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 9: speed trains are going to be coming in and out.

244
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 9: The project was designed to carry passengers from London to

245
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 9: Birmingham and the North of England. It suffered these bad delays,

246
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 9: large costs, overturns, and this particular you know, design projects

247
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 9: in the station close to your house could exceed seventy

248
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 9: billion pounds. That's up from thirty seven billion in twenty thirteen.

249
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 9: And earlier this year the government did announce plans to

250
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 9: halt work on Euston Station and the final streatch of

251
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 9: the track to control these ballooning costs which include that tunnel.

252
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 9: And the report from the House of Commons Public Accounts

253
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 9: Committee out today, as I said, very critical of the government.

254
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 9: But Caroline and Stephen, this was a huge plan to

255
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 9: link London to northern England. Great in the concept of things,

256
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 9: but has been more difficult to achieve than first thought.

257
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, and that bill going even higher it seems

258
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: for the project as well. Lee, And let's go to

259
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: the Times next headline. There thousands of European flights maybe

260
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: delayed or canceled as air traffic controller threatened strikes.

261
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 9: I feel so bad reporting this because we've all been

262
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 9: so excited for our summer holidays. I must say I

263
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 9: was delayed on my summer holiday, but I got over

264
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 9: it and got there in the end. But many more

265
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 9: people could be so. Up to a third of all

266
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 9: European flights are now at risk of being delayed or

267
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 9: canceled this summer after air traffic controllers said they would strike.

268
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 9: Now this is according to The Times newspaper. Controllers at

269
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 9: euro Control that's a European air traffic management body, have

270
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 9: said they would walk out over the peak of summer

271
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 9: after talksovers staffing, rosters and pay has just broken down.

272
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 9: So British holidays now face holiday makers now face this

273
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 9: agonizing weight because we're going to find out in the

274
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 9: next couple of days when the walkouts will be. So

275
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 9: it's pretty you know, touching times if you've booked a flight.

276
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 9: Also here in London are mt Union. They've announced more

277
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 9: strikes on the London underground for July the twenty third

278
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 9: to twenty eighth than Caroline. If you're a mother and

279
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 9: you have children or a father parents, know that some

280
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 9: teachers are going on strike in England today too. So

281
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 9: lot's happening.

282
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, two days of stri co action in the

283
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: UK in terms of schools this week alone. The Guardian

284
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: air pollution could kill London as a sporting capital. Sebastian

285
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: co Worn's subco big voice in terms of world athletics

286
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: and sports in general.

287
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, huge voice.

288
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 9: Remember He was very, very instrumental in the Olympics that

289
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 9: we held here in London in twenty twelve. But now

290
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 9: the World Athletics president is warning that the climate crisis

291
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 9: and poor air quality may just cause havoc to the

292
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 9: sporting calendar. Yesterday he was speaking to Gary Lineker in

293
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 9: a panel at Wimbledon, and he basically says that even

294
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 9: London could be a very difficult place to hold these

295
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 9: sporting events because of air pollution and the effect that

296
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 9: that could have on athletes in the future.

297
