WEBVTT - Tensions Rise as US Troops Killed; Earnings & Fed Decision This Week

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Good morning.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>stories we're following today.

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Karen, we begin with rising tensions in the Middle East.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:15.239
<v Speaker 3>The White House says Iranian backed militants killed three US soldiers.

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>In a drone strike over the weekend.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 3>Now, Tran has denied any involvement in the attacks, but

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 3>President Biden is facing mounting pressure to confront Iran over

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 3>its support of militant organizations.

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story, this.

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Is coming as an attack by militants and Jordan killed

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 4>three troops and wounded twenty five others. There are discussions

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 4>underway regarding a number of options, including covert operations and

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 4>multiple military strikes. The new Chair of the Joint Chiefs

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 4>of Staff, General C. Q. Brown, says questions in the

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.959
<v Speaker 4>Middle East boiled down now to deterrence.

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>We think about the approach we take.

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 5>We want to ensure that we take away capability while

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 5>we protect our forces at the same time, not have

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 5>this brought into.

0:00:58.680 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>A much wider conflict.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 4>How the attacks so far have slowed down the Iranian

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.199
<v Speaker 4>proxies at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, All.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, and thanks now to the latest on the Israel

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Hamas war. Benjamin at and Yahoo says a summit to

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 2>negotiate the return of hostages held by Hamas in exchange

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>for a ceasefire in Gaza was constructive, but significant gaps remain.

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Spy chiefs and top officials from Cutter Egypt, the US,

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>and Israel met to try to secure the release of

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>more than one hundred hostages taken from Israel on October seventh.

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>And back here in the US Karen.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Former President Donald Trump faces a pair of major legal

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 3>verdicts in New York that risk wiping out most, if

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 3>not all, of the cash he claims to have on hand.

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg Zamy Morris reports Donald.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 6>Trump was ordered to pay more than eighty three million

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 6>dollars to writer Ajen Carroll for defaming her. Also, a

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 6>verdict is expected this week in New York's civil fraud

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 6>trial asking for three hundred and seventy million dollars in

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 6>illegal profits Trump allegedly made by lying to get better

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 6>terms on loans. He also faces mounting legal bills after

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 6>being charged with ninety one criminal offenses in four criminal cases.

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 6>Trump's campaign finances are reportedly still strong, but he's not

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 6>allowed to use that to pay for those verdicts. The

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 6>Bloomberg Billionaire's Index places Trump's liquid assets at about six

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 6>hundred million dollars, although his exact financial status is unknown.

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 6>Amy Moore as Bloomberg radio.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Er Amy thanks ash for the other Republican and the

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>presidential race, Nikki Haley is saying she'll keep her campaign

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>going at least through Super Tuesday. The former South Carolina

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>governor says she doesn't need to win her home state

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>next month to stay competitive.

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 7>What I do think I need to do is I

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 7>need to show that I'm building momentum. I need to

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 7>show that I'm stronger in South Carolina than New Hampshire.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 7>Does that have to be a win? I don't think

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 7>that necessarily has to be a win, but it certainly

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 7>has to be better than what I did New Hampshire,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 7>and it certainly has to be close.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Nicki Haley, speaking on NBC's meetha Press stop, short of

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>committing to remain in the race through the Republican nominating

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Convention in July.

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Turning to Wall Street Careen, this is a huge week

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 3>on the economic front. It's highlighted by a FED decision

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 3>and the jobs report Let's get a preview now from

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg's Michael McKee.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 8>A data dependent FED gets a lot of data this week,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 8>although most of it comes as and after they meet.

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 8>The week's headliner is the Central Bank meeting. No change

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 8>in rates expected, but global Wall Street will be looking

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 8>for hints from Chairman Jay Powell about when rate cuts

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 8>may come. The first half of the week sees consumer

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 8>confidence the White House will be watching closely, and then

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 8>a lot of labor data job Opening's ADP, employment, the

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 8>Employment Cost Index, jobless claims capped Friday by the government's

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 8>January Jobs report. All will feed into rate cut timing expectations.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 8>Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio.

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, Mike, thanks well. It's an equally big week

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>on the equity side, with some of the Magnificent Seven

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 2>leading a barrage of earnings on Wall Street. And we

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>get more from Bloomberg's John Tucker.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 9>And Karen They have led the major stocky indexes to

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 9>record high's. Microsoft and Alphabet report earnings tomorrow, Apple, Amazon

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 9>Meta platforms. They when their books on Thursday last week.

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 9>You recall Microsoft joined the three trillion dollar club, which

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 9>so far has only two members. The other being Apple.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 9>Analysts say AI will boost just about every part of

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 9>Microsoft's portfolio. Apple's reliance on the iPhone that is an

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 9>investor concern, with the earnings of the so called Magnificent

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 9>Seven expected to have grown forty seven percent. That's according

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 9>to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence. John Tucker Bloomberg Radio.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, John, Thanks, in Asia, we have major developments involving Evergrand.

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 3>A court in Hong Kong has ordered the liquidation of

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 3>the massive Chinese developer. Bloomberg Daybreak Asia anchor Brian Curtis

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 3>has more from Hong Kong.

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 10>Evigrand was unable to reach a restructuring agreement with creditors

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 10>even after an eight week reprieve by the court. It's

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.119
<v Speaker 10>been a long and winding road to this winding up order,

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 10>and he will send ripples through China's financial markets. Evigrind

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 10>shares dropped twenty one percent before being suspended. The liquidator

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 10>is likely to face a daunting process. Though most emigrant

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 10>projects are operated by local units, it could be difficult

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 10>for an offshore liquidator to seize them in Hong Kong.

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 10>Brian Curtis, Bloomberg Radio.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, Brian, thanks well In Europe. Shares that Ryanair

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 2>are down more than two percent, the discount carrier trimming

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>its earnings forecast.

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>The company is a big customer for Boeing.

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Brian Air Chief financial Officer Neil Sorahan says he does

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>not see the grounding of the Max nine adding disruption

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>to its delivery schedule.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 3>I think things are moving in the right direction, but

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, they just need to make sure that you know,

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 3>we're getting high quality aircraft on time all the time.

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>RYANAIRCFO Neil Sorahan said the company would happily snap up

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 2>any extra Boeing jets if they become available.

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 3>And shares of Phillips are down more than six percent overseas.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Caaren the Dutch manufacturers suspending sales of sleep apnea devices.

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>And ventilators in the US.

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 3>That's after Phillips reached an agreement with the US Food

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 3>and Drug Administration over its faulty medical equipment. We have

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 3>more global headlines and a check of sports. Next, this

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 3>is bloomberg.

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 8>Ry, thanks to Nathan.

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 2>It's time now for a look at some of the

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 2>other stories making news around the world, and for that

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Moore.

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 6>Is Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. A House Republican

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 6>is calling Homelands Charity Secretary Alejandra Mayorcas the architect of

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 6>destruction and says his actions warrant impeachment. Texas Congressman Michael

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 6>McCall on Fox News Sunday says Mayorcas is solely responsible

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 6>for the amount of fentanyl and the number of people

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 6>on the terror watch list that have come into the

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 6>US across the southern border.

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 11>Eight million encounters, three hundred on the terror watch list,

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.799
<v Speaker 11>two hundred million people dead now thanks to fetnel poising.

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 6>McCall accused Mayorcis of dereliction of duty and breach of

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 6>the public trust. House Republicans released two articles of impeachment

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 6>yes yesterday. The House Homelands Charity Committee is scheduled to

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 6>meet tomorrow to determine if it will move impeachment to

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 6>a vote on the House floor. A Democratic senator who's

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 6>been helping the gociate a bipartisan deal on US border

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 6>security says Republicans can choose between border reform or Trump chaos.

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 6>Bloomberg's Scott car with that story.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 5>Bipartisan bill would give the president new emergency authority to

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 5>close the US border when it becomes overwhelmed, something President

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Biden says he might do if Congress approves it. Republican

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 5>House Speaker Mike Johnson, however, is indicated the deal would

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 5>be dead on a rival in the Republican controlled House.

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut tell CNN State of the

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.160

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 5>to critical aid for Ukraine and its war against Russia.

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 6>Bloomber Scott car reporting, California Governor Gavin Newsom says getting

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 6>the vote out is what Democrats need to do to

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 6>keep a third party candidate from being a spoiler. In November,

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 6>he spoke out while on ABC's This Week against efforts

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 6>by some Democrats to keep third party candidates off the ballot.

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 3>When you try to suppress choice and voice, it tends

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 3>to backfire.

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 6>He also urged Democrats to check the platform of the

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 6>No Label's third party movement, saying it literally quote it

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 6>reads as the accomplishment list of the Biden Harris administration.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 6>He called no labels a solution in search of a problem.

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 6>President Biden says the US will respond after three American

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 6>service members were killed in an overnight drone attack in Jordan.

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 6>Biden held a moment of silence for the soldiers killed

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 6>during an event in a South Carolina yesterday, calling it

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 6>a tough day in the Middle East. The White House

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 6>is blaming radical Iran backed militant groups for that strike.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 11>Conference Championships Sunday began in Baltimore, first championship game played

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 11>there since nineteen seventy one. The Chiefs the Tenning Super

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 11>Bowl champs, but the Ravens the favorites based on a

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 11>regular season where they outscored the opponent by more than

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 11>two hundred points, and yet Kansas City started the game

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 11>with touchdown drives that covered eighty six and seventy five yards.

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 11>The second one lasted nine minutes. They led seventeen to

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 11>seven at halftime, and the AFC title game remained scoreless

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 11>until a late Baltimore field goal. Chiefs won seventeen to ten.

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 11>They're going to the Super Bowl fourth time in the

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 11>last five years, and in Las Vegas they'll try to

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 11>win their third. The first win came when they beat

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 11>the forty nine Ers four years ago. They will play

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 11>them again. The Niners NFC champs, with a huge comeback

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 11>at home on Detroit trailed twenty four to seven and a

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 11>half time, and then scored the next twenty seven points

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 11>to win thirty four to thirty one. They had seventeen

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 11>points in an eight minute span. The Lions helped them

0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.200
<v Speaker 11>out a costly fumble, two incomplete passes on fourth down

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 11>at tempt when they could have tried a makeable field goal.

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 11>The Lions' best season in sixty six years comes to

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.959
<v Speaker 11>an end. The Niners have been made a very slight

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 11>favorite to beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl fifty eight.

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 11>Twenty two year old Yannick Singer, Australian Open champion, only

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 12>Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. President Biden is vowing the

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 12>US will respond in a time and manner of its choosing,

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 12>following the killings of three US soldiers in a drone

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 12>strike in northeast Jordan. These are the first American deaths

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 12>under enemy fire since the start of the Israel Hamas War,

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 12>and they risk precisely the kind of escalation in the

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 12>Middle East that this president has been trying to avoid.

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 12>So for more we are joined now by Bloomberg News

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 12>Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, the President does face a

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 12>very difficult decision after this drone attack. What are his

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 12>options now, Well.

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 13>You're right, Nathan, the US has vowed to respond to

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 13>this attack. As you said, it's the first America deaths

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.959
<v Speaker 13>of American soldiers since this war started. And I think

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 13>it's going to have to be a very delicate response

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 13>because these are proxy groups and not actually you know,

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 13>Iranian military or the Iranian government directly behind them. I

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 13>think that's going to require the US to do some

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 13>sort of calibration. It can look at targeting facilities that

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 13>these different groups have in places like in places like Syria, Iraq,

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 13>and even in Iran, but it probably has to distinguish

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 13>its response from attacking an attack on Iran directly or

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 13>on Iranian government facilities, because once you have a nation

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 13>state going against another nation state, that would be exactly

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 13>the kind of escalation that I think the US and

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 13>a lot of other countries have sought to avoid. There

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 13>also could very well be a very covert response to this.

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 13>There could be some sort of a you know, the

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 13>big hacking attack that's unleashed on ira facilities. There could

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 13>be other things going on behind the scenes. But I

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 13>think the fact that you have three US troops killed,

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:13.080
<v Speaker 13>I think that requires something of a public response as well.

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 13>So you could have both, but there is likely to

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 13>be some sort of a public response.

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 3>It does sound though, like the kind of options that

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 3>you laid out are similar to what the US has

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 3>been mounting against the Hooti rebels in Yemen to try

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 3>to deter the red sea attacks. But at this point

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't seem to have had much effect on red

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>sea shipping right.

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 13>I think, you know, the administration's argument has been that

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 13>they're hitting these stockpiles of weapons that the Jutis had.

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 13>They're they're hitting different facilities, they're looking at a missile

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 13>launchers right before right when they're loaded up, and that

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 13>it will over time they will have, you know, significantly

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 13>degraded the UTI's ability to do this. But you're you're right,

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 13>it hasn't stopped them. If they can just get one

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 13>missile off that hits a ship, they've kind of achieved

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 13>their goal in that kind of attack. So it's very

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 13>hard to shut that down entirely. And the big question

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 13>is on this latest incident is if they do hit

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:12.359
<v Speaker 13>a proxy, Iranian proxy's facilities or personnel or weapons depots,

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:17.559
<v Speaker 13>will that really be enough to make those groups think twice?

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 3>And in the meantime, the US is trying to de

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 3>escalate things in the Gaza Strip and foster further negotiations

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 3>between Israel and Hamas in getting hostages released. We had

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 3>a summit in Paris over the weekend. What's the sense

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 3>about how that's going well.

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 13>I think you're right, the latest tensions with Iran could

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 13>really work to derail that. What we're seeing come out

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 13>of these talks so far is there's reports that a

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 13>deal could be underway that would involve basically a cessation

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 13>of the conflict in Gaza. For weeks, possibly more than

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 13>a month, we had Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah who

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 13>come out and saying that the sides are very far

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 13>apart at this point. But it is, you know, I

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 13>think it is. It's a positive that there's some of

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 13>these discussions going on. I don't think you're going to

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 13>hear either side budge until they get right up to

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 13>an agreement and are ready to announce. But this latest

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 13>attack on the US forces and the possible escalation with Iran,

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 13>that will throw a lot of this into question. If

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 13>there is, if there is a broader conflict, Iran is

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 13>likely to strike out at a range of targets and

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 13>that's not gonna that's really not going to make things

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 13>easier in Gaza.

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 3>So in our last minute, are we hearing anything further

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 3>from US or Israeli allies about how they could respond

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 3>to what's been happening with the US soldiers killed as

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 3>well as with what's happening in the Gaza strip.

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 13>Well, there's been you know, the condemnation you would expect,

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 13>and also you know, a plea from Jordan for more

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 13>more weapons and defensive weapons to help it sort of

0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 13>protect its borders. This this latest attack to place up

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 13>in the northeast corner of Jordan, and it's close to

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 13>where Isis once had a very strong base. That's why

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 13>the US troops are there, and why the US troops

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 13>are just over the border along that highway that leads

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 13>from I Rock into Syria. But I think you have

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 13>all sides very much holding their breath to see whether

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 13>this attack on US forces results in something much bigger

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 13>in the coming hours or coming days.

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.000
