1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today, Karen. 4 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 3: Fighting between Israel and Iran is now into its fourth 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 3: day with no sign of easing. Iran has fired several 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 3: waves of drones and missiles over the last twenty four hours, 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 3: while Israel continued hitting the Islamic Republic's capital, Tehran, killing 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 3: one more senior military official Stuart Livingston Wallace heads are 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 3: Middle East coverage. 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 4: It's a combination of what appear to be very precise 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 4: strikes by Israel on Iranian targets, and that largely encompasses 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 4: nuclear sides military sites. And it does appear at this 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 4: stage and given everything we've seen over the last four days, 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 4: that Israel now more or less has a free hand 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 4: within Iran, and it's been quite surprising, I suppose, how 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 4: little response Iran seems to have those strikes. And then 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 4: on the other side, it's been sort of throwing back 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 4: ballistic missiles and drones in very large quantities, and that 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 4: seems to be a lot less precise, I mean largely 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 4: the strategy there seems to be to try and overwhelm 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 4: Israel's rather impressive defenses. 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: Bloomberg, Stewart Livingston Wallace reports the casualty toll is rising. 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: Iran's government says two hundred twenty four people have been killed, 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 3: while Israel says Iranian attacks killed twenty three people and 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 3: injured more than four hundred well Nathan. 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: President Trump says he believes Israel and Iran could eventually 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: reach a peace agreement, but suggested they may have to 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: continue their conflict before coming to the negotiating table. The 29 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: President spoke to reporters as he prepared to board Marine one. 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 5: I think it's time for a deal, and we'll see 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 5: what happens. 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 6: But sometimes they have to fight it out. But we're 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 6: going to see what happens. 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: I think there's a good chance he'll. 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: Be a deal, President Trump, speaking before he left to 36 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: attend the G seven summit in Canada.

Several world leaders have called 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 7: on Iran and Israel to de escalate the situation, and 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 7: it's unclear if the group will issue a formal statement 45 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 7: on the conflict. A broader joint communicate is not in 46 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 7: the cards.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanya, who is 245 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: calling the conflict an existential campaign for his country. 246 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 11: We can't have the world's most dangerous regime have the 247 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 11: world's most dangerous weapons. 248 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 14: We're protecting ourselves, but by doing so, we're protecting many others. 249 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanya, who's speaking there for the 250 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 3: very latest. We are joined by Bloomberg News Israel Bureau 251 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: chief Ethan Bronner in Tel Aviv and Bloomberg Horizons anchor 252 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 3: Jumana Burceci joining us from Dubai this morning.

Ethan, I'll start off with you 254 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: just to get us up to speed on what we've 255 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 3: seen in just the last twenty four hours of fighting. 256 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: Good morning, Good morning Nathan. 257 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 14: Yes, there were some fairly serious a missile of barraz 258 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 14: Is here in Israel. I think the people were build 259 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 14: to day. The number of data and development twenty four 260 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 14: and some hundreds are injured. 261 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 8: I think a look. 262 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 14: Recently where just about a half a mile from my apartment, 263 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 14: pretty serious baraj missile fell. 264 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 5: Beyond that. Israel has been attacking increasingly. It says it 265 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 5: took away it killed the intelligence a chief and his deputy, 266 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 5: and has expanded its attacks as well. 267 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: And Jumana. What is the extent as far as we 268 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 3: know of the damage in Iran at this point. Ethan 269 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 3: just mentioned that another senior Iranian military official has been 270 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 3: killed as well. What is the possibility that Iran can 271 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 3: mount a major response to what's been happening. 272 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 15: Yeah, if you look at the approach that Israel's Air 273 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 15: Force has been taken, they've been looking to target strategic bases, 274 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 15: be they some of the military bases, the surface to 275 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 15: air launcher, surface to air missile launch launchers have be targeted. 276 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 15: Some of those nuclear sites as well. The IA saying 277 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 15: over the course of the weekend that Isfahan, which is 278 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 15: one of the actually the only uranium conversion facility that 279 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 15: Iran has, was severely impacted and will set back their 280 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 15: ability to continue with the uranium enrichment process by several months. 281 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 15: So an operational success if you want to call it 282 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 15: from Israeli perspective there, But then in terms of intelligence 283 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 15: penetration as well, we talked about the fact that the 284 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 15: operation itself was months of worth of preparation, and on 285 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,119 Speaker 15: the back of that you've seen some senior leaders, commanders 286 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 15: from the Revolutionary Guard get taken out. The numbers now 287 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 15: stands at six alongside some of those nuclear scientists as well, 288 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 15: who were key to the technological and scientific know how 289 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 15: with the nuclear development. 290 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 8: And so from a military. 291 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 15: Standpoint, defense standpoints, and also intelligence standpoint, you could say 292 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 15: that Israel has had a lot of operational success so 293 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 15: far and the f four days of this conflict, and we're. 294 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: Just hearing from Israeli sources that they claim that they've 295 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: achieved aerial superiority now over Tehran Ethan. Of course, we've 296 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 3: heard from Israeli Prime Minister at Natan Yahoo that the 297 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 3: goal is to take out Iran's nuclear capability. What does 298 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: that suggest about how long this fighting could go on? 299 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 14: I mean, the problem is that Israel alone cannot take 300 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 14: out Around's nuclear capability, at least as far as we know. 301 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 14: I mean, as you say, they now say they have 302 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 14: aerial freedom, and so maybe they could you plant their 303 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 14: F fifteen's or F thirty five's and just pop, pop pop. 304 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 14: But it seems unlikely that they could get into Florida, 305 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 14: which is deep, deep into a mountain, so it's very 306 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 14: hard to tell. I'm being told that there's intense diplomatic 307 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 14: effort both the Russians the Americans and others are trying 308 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 14: to get somewhere here to make this thing not go forward. 309 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 14: But just today, this National Scurity Advisor it is we're 310 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 14: all said on the radio that Auranseil has thousands of 311 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 14: ballistic missiles. If that's true, this could go on for 312 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 14: weeks and months. 313 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 3: Juwana, From your perspective, what is the possibility of a 314 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: diplomatic breakthrough here? We've heard from President Trump on his 315 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 3: way to the G seven saying that it might take 316 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 3: a little bit more fighting between Israel and Iran before 317 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 3: there is a resolution. 318 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 15: Yeah, and I mean also in that same post, President 319 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 15: Trump also spoke about Iran and Israel should make a deal, 320 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 15: and we'll make a deal. But then that many calls 321 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 15: and meetings are taking place. So we know is that 322 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 15: many of the Arab GCC states are actively trying to 323 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 15: intervene here. Iran called on Cutter, have been playing a 324 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 15: key mediation role in those Iran US nuclear discussions. Remember 325 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 15: the sixth round of talks we're supposed to take place yesterday, 326 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 15: They no longer happened. 327 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 8: But as we understand now. 328 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 15: Aman and Kuta are getting actively involved again to restart 329 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 15: those discussions now seemingly because Iran is on the back foot, 330 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 15: maybe they'd be more amiable to some of the terms 331 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 15: that the US are putting out. Saudi Arabia at their 332 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 15: part as well, I should just say two. I think 333 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 15: it is notable that even though there's been an intensification 334 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 15: of strikes between the two sides over the course of 335 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 15: the weekend, there hasn't been a broadening out into the 336 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 15: region so to speak. 337 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 8: The energy infrastructure. 338 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 15: Yes, there were a few facilities that were set alight 339 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 15: over the course of the weekend, but still no major 340 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 15: energy exporting facilities have been hit, none of the shipping 341 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 15: lanes in the Strait of Hormos have been disrupted, and 342 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 15: of course US bases have been spared. At this point 343 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 15: in time, so remains to be seen whether the diplomatic 344 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 15: channel will be successful, but for now, the attacks are 345 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 15: focused on the bilateral kind as opposed to Iran taking 346 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 15: it one step further and the risk of bringing in 347 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 15: the broader region into the conflict as well. 348 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 3: From your perspective, Ethan, what are you seeing in terms 349 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 3: of the kind of leverage that the US could have 350 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 3: over Israel as it continues strategically a long with the 351 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: fighting against Iran. We heard the President or we heard 352 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: some reports that the President had discouraged Israel from going 353 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 3: after the iatola when he had the chance. What are 354 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 3: you hearing? 355 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 14: Yes, Look, I mean I think that there is a 356 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 14: sort of a double game, not surprisedly being played by 357 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 14: President Trump here on the one hand, taking a public 358 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 14: posture against this kind of action. On the other hand, 359 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 14: from everything we've been able to learn privately saying to Ntonia, 360 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 14: who go ahead and do what you have to do, 361 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 14: I think that Israeli and a US interests do overlap 362 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 14: to some extent here. Neither wants to see a nuclear 363 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 14: weapon in the hands of this Iranian regime. So in 364 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 14: terms of you know what kind of ability Trump has 365 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 14: over in Tennaaro, he's an enormous amount in the sense 366 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 14: that Israel does not want to be taking these actions 367 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 14: without the agreement of the United States, and ultimately it 368 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 14: can't do what it. 369 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 5: Needs to do without the help of the United States. 370 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 14: So a lot, but I think, but the point is 371 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 14: that we don't know exactly what Trump wants out of 372 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 14: this operation, and my impression is he's doing both things 373 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 14: at once. 374 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 3: Jumana Iran is reportedly moving toward no longer following the 375 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 3: Nuclear non Proliferation Treaty. Now we've been hearing those reports 376 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 3: as well. Where could this go from here? 377 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 15: Yeah, and I think that is really important to know 378 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 15: in the run up to the attacks that took place 379 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 15: on Friday, because it wasn't a coincidence that that also 380 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 15: coincided with the IA report suggesting that for the first 381 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 15: time in decades, Iran was breaching some of the requirements 382 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 15: as put out by the Non Proliferation Treaty. They also 383 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 15: announced that they were setting up yet another uranium enrichment facility, 384 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 15: so had been testing the waters for a while, which 385 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 15: is why ultimately you did end up getting the response 386 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 15: out of Israel and the surprise attack from the ranium 387 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 15: perspective on Thursday evening. But it would constitute a major 388 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 15: development and also just in terms of the ultimate objective 389 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 15: of this war or the series of attacks, which is 390 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 15: to stop Iran from developing the means of getting a 391 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 15: nuclear weapon. If they start pulling out of these treaties 392 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 15: and don't allow for instruction, inspections are monitoring the whole 393 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 15: thing could backfire, and some analysts are saying that the 394 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 15: reaction to this out of Iran could be even more hawkish. 395 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 15: It could actually even encourage them more so to develop 396 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 15: a nuclear weapon they had in the past, say than 397 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 15: if the US and Iran did manage to agree to 398 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 15: the terms of a new nuclear deal. 399 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 8: So all of that is up for question now. 400 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 3: And ethan, if that were to be the case, does 401 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 3: that raise a question of even further proxy attacks from 402 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: the likes of Hamas and Hezboala. 403 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 14: Log it might, But the truth is that what's strike 404 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 14: striking right now is that Hezbala has not done a 405 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 14: thing which leans it really can't or it's really in 406 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 14: some fashion under such pressure internally in Lebanon not to 407 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 14: get involved. 408 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 5: In this conflict. 409 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 14: So one of the main reasons Israel shows to act now, 410 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 14: in addition to the things that Jaman have talked about 411 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 14: the fact that there's been this increasing amount of enrichment 412 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 14: up to weapons grade, is that the proxy militias were 413 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 14: not available to join into this war, as well as 414 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 14: the fact that the Iranian air defense system had been 415 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 14: largely been certainly reduced, if not stripped away entirely. So 416 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 14: I don't see that happening. But this question of the 417 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 14: MPT is enormously important. But at the same time, if 418 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 14: Iran is simply going to be openly seeking a nuclear weapon, 419 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 14: I think that would shift the American perspective as well 420 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 14: and whether it might want to get involved militarily. 421 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 2: This is Bloombergy Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 422 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 423 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 424 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 425 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 426 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 427 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 428 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 429 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 430 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 431 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 3: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 432 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
