1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: News when you want. It's with Bloomberg News Now. I'm

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Doug Prisner. Cutter says a short truce in the war

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: between Israel and Hamas will begin on Friday morning. That's

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: about a day later than initially expected. Here is Bloomberg's Michael.

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: Heath as to extending this pause into something more. I

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: think while the US has his rouse back, it's going

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: to feel pretty confident that it can keep the world

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: at bay and keep going in its drive to eliminate Hamus.

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: You know, whether that's actually possible, we'll see, But I mean,

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 2: we've had six and a half weeks of war. This

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: is perhaps probably the best chance for some sort of

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: movement from here.

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's Michael Heath Now. A four day pause

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: in the fighting in Gaza will begin at seven am

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: local time, and the first group of women and children

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: hostages will be released by Hamas at around four pm.

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: The chances of an opposition unity ticket in Taiwan's presidential

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: election up here slim ahead of a deadline later today.

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: This is after talks to cooperate on a joint campaign collapsed.

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: Here is Bloomberg Samson Ellis in Taipei.

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: Position candidates got together at the Grand Hyatt decide do

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: we form an alliance and if we do, who is

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: going to top the ticket as the presidential candidate. But

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: things got off to a bad start. The opposition Taiwan's

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: People's Party candidate didn't show up. He was in the hotel,

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: didn't come down. Let former President Mining Joe and the

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: KNT candidate Ho Yo E sit there for twenty minutes

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: in front of more than one hundred reporters silently on

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: the stage.

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg Sampson ellis in Taipei. New York City

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams is being accused of sexually assaulting a

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: woman back in nineteen ninety three. A legal summons filed

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday list the defendants as Adams, the NYPD Transit Bureau,

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: and the department's guardians Association. Adams was a police captain

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: at the time the alleged assault took place. Speaking to

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: reporters on Thursday, the mayor said he has never met

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: the woman who made the claim.

38
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: It's absolutely natural, you know, I would never do anything

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: to harm anyone. My career speaks for itself, and just

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: really something absolutely that has never happened in.

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: The summons was filed under New York's Adult Survivors Act.

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: It temporarily suspended these statute of limitations for sexual assault cases.

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: The accusation comes during an FBI investigation into the mayor's

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one campaign financing. Argentina's President elect, Javir Malay,

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: is toning down his rhetoric toward China. Back in August,

46
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: in an interview with Bloomberg News, Malay called the Chinese

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: government an assassin, but within days of his landslide win

48
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: on November nineteenth, Malay sounded surprisingly cordial. He sent well

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: wishes to the Chinese people in a social media post,

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: and he thanked President Chi Chenping for a letter congratulating

51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Malay on his victory and Malay and Malay reminded she

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: that relations between Beijing and Buenos Aires were always based

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: on mutual respect with tangible benefits for both sides. China

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: has told the World Health Organization there are no novel

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: pathogens among children suffering from respiratory illnesses. Top pediatric medical

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: centers across China are simply overwhelmed with patients, and this

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: prompted the WHO to ask Beijing for detailed information about

58
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: the surge. Barclays is reportedly planning to cut cost by

59
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: one point three billion dollars over the next several years.

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: We have more from Bloomberg Sarah Livesey.

61
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 5: Reuter's reports as many as two thousand jobs are on

62
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 5: the line. That's about two percent of the bank's workforce.

63
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: Any job cuts are expected to come from Barclay's Execution Services,

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: the unit that encompasses the group's back office. However, the

65
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: lender could prioritize layoffs in other areas as well. Barclay

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: said it will provide an update alongside full year results

67
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 5: in February. The bank's latest quarterly results were disappointing, prompting

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 5: a slide in its stock price. So far this year,

69
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: Barclay's shares are down eleven and a half percent in

70
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: New York. I'm Sarah Livesey Bloomberg Radio, and that is.

Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm
