1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Here are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Karen, we begin with the latest developments in the Russia

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: Ukraine war. Reuters is reporting Vladimir Putin is willing to

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: talk with President like Donald Trump about a ceasefire deal

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: in Ukraine that could roughly freeze the war along current

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: front lines. We get more from Bloomberg's Oliverkruk.

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: There's room for negotiation over carve outs over the four

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: regions of Donetskluhan, Saparija, and Karazon. And then we also

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 3: know that they're open to withdrawing potentially. So this is

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: the Russian talking about potentially withdrawing from small patches of

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: territory in other parts of Ukraine. Now, another point that

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: he will insist on, Putin will insist on, is that

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 3: Ukraine abandon his ambitions to join NATO again. This is

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: potentially closer to a wishless from what the Russian side wants,

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: but it is significant because if it is accurate, this

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: is some of the first sort of concrete sketches we

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: have heard from the Russian point and potentially a sort

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: of opening negotiation discussion.

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Zali Krook says President Biden's decision to allow Ukraine

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: to use long range missiles inside Russia could complicate any settlement.

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: In another development, Bloomberg News has learned the US has

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: decided to provide Ukraine with anti personnel land mines to

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: blunt the advance of Russian troops.

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Nathan the US Embassy in Kiev says it's received

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: warning of a potentially significant Russian air attach and would

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: be closed as a precaution. The embassy also instructed employees

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: to shelter in place, and also recommended that US citizens

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: in Kiev be prepared to immediately shelter in the event

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: of an air alert and Karen All.

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: This comes on the heels of the final day of

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: the G twenty summit in Rio de Janeiro. The meeting

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: was marked by tension and this unity. Leaders failed to

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: agree on language characterizing the wars in Ukraine in the

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Middle East. The summit was also overshadowed by the looming

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: return of Donald Trump to the White House. Diplomats are

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: wondering what kind of role the US will play in

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: world affairs under his leadership. Bloomberg's Roz Matheson has more

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: from London.

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: It seems like this meeting was particularly chaotic as well.

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: We had that weirdness over the family photo where three

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: of the leaders missed it. It had to be redone

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: in a different setting a day later, which was all

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: a bit awkward, and it just seems to reflect the

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 4: fact there was a lot going on behind the scenes

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: in terms of disagreements and arguments over be it the

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: war in Ukraine, but also the conflict in the Middle East,

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: and more than anything, hanging over it the sense of

50
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: the fact that Donald Trump's returning to the White House

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: and what that means for these leaders and for the

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: rest of the world.

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Roslind Matheson says the summit was built as a

54
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: moment for the West and the rest to show unity,

55
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: but it served to show how quickly the guardrails are

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: coming off the international rules based order.

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: All right, Nathan, Now let's get to the leaatest on

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,040

Speaker 1: is Trump's choice to lead the Education Department, and Trump

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: has named Memetaz, the celebrity doctor, to lead the centers

65
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: for Medicare and Medicaid Services. We get more on that

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: pick with Bloomberg's Wendy Benjaminson in Washington.

67
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,800

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 5: he has spent a good deal of his career in

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 5: the last ten years promoting, you know, sort of fringe

70
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 5: fringe medical things, a lot of wellness stuff that isn't

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: quite you know, on the beam with a lot of

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: the medical community.

00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: As for the Treasury choice, Karen President like, Trump's working

91
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,480

106
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,599

Speaker 1: powerful rocket can eventually carry humans and cargo to Earth's orbit,

108
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,400

111
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,760

Speaker 1: two point three percent from one point seven percent in September.

134
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: The figures are likely to lead to a conscious approach

135
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: from the Bank of England, reducing the prospect of further

136
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: interest rate cuts in the coming months. Time now for

137
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,400

Speaker 10: a woman reportedly told the Ethics Committee she had sexual

144
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,320

Speaker 10: on Manhattan's traffic clock streets faces a legal threat that

147
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 10: could now kill it. More from Bloomberg's Genae Cervetti.

148
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 11: Under the plan to ease congestion and pollution, starting on

Speaker 11: date into the administration of President elect Donald Trump, who

154
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 11: opposes congestion pricing. Trump, who is to be inaugurated on

155
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 11: January twentieth, could simply direct the Federal Highway Administration not

00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 10: of blazes across the region. The blaze broke out of

160
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 10: the Washington Heights neighborhood. Nobody was hurt. The fire came

161
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 10: one day after New York officials instituted a drought warning,

162
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 10: and the FDA says an inspection of a TOMS of

163

172
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 12: We'll see after the season if the Giants shake things up,

173
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 12: but we now know there will be new faces coaching

174
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 12: and running the Jets. Six weeks after the firing of

175

178
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 12: Douglas was in his sixth season on the job, and

179
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 12: the Jets record during his time thirty and sixty four

180
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 12: brought in some good players. His biggest blunder was drafting

181
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 12: quarterback Zach Wilson's second overall back. In twenty twenty one

182

194
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 13: and then obviously winning games. Whether it's plowouts, close games,

195
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 13: come from behind wins. You know, you enjoy these moments

196
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 13: and for us, you know, it's great to be a

197
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 13: part of history. I wish would have kept it going,

198
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 13: but like I said, there's no championships in November. This

199
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 13: is a great part of the season. Now we just

Speaker 7: Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

216
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: The main story this morning is on developments in the

217
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: Russia Ukraine war. Reuters is reporting that Russia is willing

218
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: to talk with President elect Donald Trump about a ceasefire

219
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 2: deal with Ukraine. That's after President Biden authorized KIV to

220
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: use long range missiles to strike deeper inside Russia. Ukraine's

221
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: ambassador to the European Union, sevilod Chensov, says, that is

222
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: what's bringing Putin to the table.

223
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 7: It shows that it works. So if you talk to

224
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 7: him with a position from strands, so they they're more

225
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 7: ready for a conversation.

226
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: Ukrainian EU Ambassador sevialod Chensov spoke with Bloomberg this morning,

227
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 2: and we are joined now by Bloomberg's Kevin Whitelaw. And Kevin,

228
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: we've heard the Kremlin respond to this writer's report saying

229
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: that Russia's always been willing to talk with Ukraine, but

230
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: a freeze wouldn't serve Russia's interests. What to make of

231
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: this latest report that Putin is willing to talk at

232
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: least with President elect Trump.

233
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think we need to take this with a

234
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 14: whole bunch of caveats obviously, you know, I think Putin

235
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 14: is at this point pretty happy to have anyone in

236
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 14: the West engage with him, but it's not clear that

237
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 14: he's going to actually give them anything, or at a

238
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 14: situation where, if you look at this what's been happening

239
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 14: on the ground, Ukraine has sort of been very very

240
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 14: very slowly losing in Russia is very very very slowly gaining,

241
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 14: and so it's in a place where it's not clear

242
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 14: that Putin has the interest or the imperative to really negotiate,

243
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 14: and Ukraine would like to get to a position where

244
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 14: it can, as the ambassador was saying, negotiate from a

245
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 14: position of strength. So to the degree that Donald Trump

246
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 14: is going to come in and potentially prompt or start

247
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 14: or force some kind of a ceasefire conversation right now,

248
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 14: I think Russia probably feels it as a little bit

249
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 14: of an upper hand in Ukraine is trying to figure

250
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 14: out how it can regain that one of the ready

251
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 14: reasons it was so interested in being able to carry

252
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 14: out strikes into Russia using these US long range missiles.

253
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: We've also seen not just the long range missile strike

254
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: for the first time, but reports now that President Biden

255
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: is authorizing Ukraine to use short term land mines as well.

256
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: What could that mean for a potential negotiation once President

257
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: Biden is off the scene.

258
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, at this point, you know, Biden is

259
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 14: trying to pull out just the remaining little stops to

260
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 14: try to put Ukraine in as strong a position as

261
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 14: possible for when it you know, for when Trump takes office,

262
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 14: mean sort of running out of things to do. The missiles,

263
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 14: long range missiles was probably the most important as far

264
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 14: as Ukraine was concerned, but you know, the rules are

265
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 14: coming with some limitations that are are you know, restricting

266
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 14: some of what Ukraine hoping to use them for. So

267
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 14: obviously Russia has been able to strike into Ukraine with

268
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 14: a decent amount of success, particularly when it comes to

269
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 14: targeting the electrical grid. Ukraine really wants to find ways

270
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 14: it can try to make it, you know, sort of

271
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 14: damage the ammunition stocks and some of these you know,

272
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 14: operating bases that that Russia has been using to stage

273
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 14: these things. So unclear whether they're going to be able

274
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 14: to really change the dynamic on the ground. And you know,

275
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 14: I think if if Russia feels it is very, very

276
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 14: very slowly winning. It's been able to bring in reinforcement

277
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 14: troops from North Korea, it's getting weapons from other countries.

278
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 14: It might feel that it doesn't have quite as much

279
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 14: of an incentive to to to you know, give Ukraine

280
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 14: a whole lot in a negotiation, which is why everyone's

281
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 14: going to be focused on just you know, what Donald

282
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 14: Trump is going to bring to the table and whether

283
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 14: he's going to try to force Ukraine to accept the

284
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 14: you know, kind of deal that it just up to

285
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 14: now has just been simply unwilling to consider.

286
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: And all this is coming, Kevin, in the backdrop of

287
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: a g twenty summit that saw a lot of disagreement

288
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: over even how to characterize the war in Ukraine in

289
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: our last minute, Where could things go as we continue

290
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: to work through this transition.

291
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, well it is a transition. It's a transition in

292
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 14: several different countries. You've got, you know, in Germany effectively

293
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 14: a lame duck chancellor with snap elections coming in February.

294
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 14: You've got the French president Manuel Microme distracted by some

295
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 14: of his own issues. So you definitely have a Europe

296
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 14: that has to see if at a time where some

297
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 14: of its normal leadership voices or maybe not as fully

298
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 14: engaged on this issue. Can they really find some way

299
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 14: to step up if the US walks away.
