00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Good morning.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: Amy Francis. Benchmark stock market is down nearly two percent.

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: The euro is trading at a one month low. This

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: comes after election results in Brussels. French President Emanuel mccron

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: has plunged his country into political uncertainty, dissolving the lower

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: House of Parliament and calling new legislative elections. That's after

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: his party came a distant second to the Marine Le

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Panz far right in Sunday's European Parliament vote. Speaking to

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: the nation after the polls closed, Macrone said, the National

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Assembly election is a chance to determine France's future.

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: So this is you.

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: This is a serious and weighty decision.

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: It's an act of trust confidence.

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 5: You mission, my dear compatriots, the ability of the French

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 5: peace to make the just choice for themselvesmen and for

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 5: future generations.

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I was French President Macron, speaking through an interpreter. Now,

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: his position is head of state won't be directly affected

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: by the upcoming vote, but his ability to push through legislation,

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: the power to choose a like minded prime minister and

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: the credibility of his political project will all be on

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: the line in election that Sunday's results suggests he is

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: likely to lose and Nathan.

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: Far right parties also made gains elsewhere in Europe. In Germany,

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: Chancellor Oloff Schultz Social Democrats recorded their worst ever EU result,

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: following the third place behind the far right Alternative for

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: Germany and the center right Christian Democrats. And in Italy,

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Georgia Maloney's right wing Brothers of Italy party

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: won twenty nine percent of the vote, compared with just

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: six percent in the twenty nineteen elections. Now, despite these results,

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 2: the centrist alliance that backed Ursula Vonderland to become EU

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: Commission President maintained its majority, led by her European People's Party.

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 6: We won the European electtion.

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: We are by far the strongest party.

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 6: We are the anchor of stability.

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Herstel Of Vonderline plans to begin talks with our allies

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: and the Socialist and Democrats and Centrist renew groups on

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: securing their support. Today.

41
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Well, in Italy, I'm sorry. In India, Amy Prime Minister

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: Narendramodi has been sworn into office for a third consecutive term,

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: extending his leadership for another five years. That followed a

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: bruising electoral setback that's forced him to share power in

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: India for the first time.

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: And we're seeing changes in the Israeli government. Benny Gantz,

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: a centrist member of Israel's three man war cabinet, has

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: announced his resignation, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Nataniahu of mismanaging

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: the war effort. We get more from Bloomberg's at Jumana Borsecci.

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 7: The symbolism here is he, of course, was one of

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 7: the more moderate members of the Natagna Who governments. And

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 7: while it doesn't mean that the government itself is going

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 7: to fall apart, because natagna Who will still have sixty

54
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 7: four seats in the kanessset alongside his coalition partners, what

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 7: it does mean is that he will be more reliant

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 7: on some of those more right wing members of the governments,

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 7: and one of them, the National Security Minister Ben Gavie,

58
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 7: is actually pushing for a position on the war cabinets.

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 7: He's one of the more hawkish members of the governments

60
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 7: as it stands, and has been adamant that natagia who

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 7: should not be signing onto this Biden ceasefire proposal.

62
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Demani Brassecci says Gance joined Nettayahu's government shortly after

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: the October seventh Tamas attack.

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: And on the heels of Benny Gonz's resignation. Secretary of

65
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: State Anthony Blincoln heads back to the Middle East today

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: in a last ditch attempt to push a ceasefire deal.

67
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: President Biden has put the proposal forward as an Israeli one,

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: but both Israel and Hamas have distanced themselves from it.

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says the ball

70
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: is in Hamas's court.

71
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 5: We're waiting for them to communicate to Kutar in Egypt,

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: two of the mediators involved.

73
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 8: In the hostage negotiations.

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 5: And we are hopeful that with enough of a co

75
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: trus the international community all speaking with one boy, Jamas

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 5: will get to the right answer.

77
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke on ABC's This Week

78
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: Heard Sundays on Bloomberg Radio. Secretary of State Blincoln lends

79
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: today in Egypt, he'll meet with senior officials, including President

80
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: Abdolpha ta Lcci, and then he heads to Israel, where

81
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: he is expected to meet with Prime Minister net Hanyahu,

82
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: and then.

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: Back here in the US. Donald Trump will be interviewed

84
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: today by New York Probation officers. They'll submit a sentencing

85
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: recommendation for the former president.

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 6: Now.

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: The interview will help determine how much time, if any,

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: Trump will spend behind bars. It will be conducted virtually,

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Trump at his home in Florida and the probation officers

90
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: in New York. Trump's sentencing is scheduled for July eleventh,

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: after his conviction for falsifying business record records. Rather, he

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: has vowed to appeal amy.

93
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Let's turn to markets now, a double dose of macroeconomic

94
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: catalysts are coming on the same day. On Wednesday, we

95
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: get a report on consumer prices in the morning, then

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: that afternoon the FED make an interest rate decision. Mohammad Larian,

97
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Queen's College Cambridge president and Bloomberg opinion columnists, says last

98
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Friday stronger than expected jobs report all but rules out

99
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: a rate cut this summer.

100
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 5: Look, it's reasonable for a FED that is over the

101
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 5: data dependent. There's no way they can cut or signal

102
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 5: a cut in July.

103
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,119
Speaker 9: With this data.

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 5: They would have to change their reaction function and be

105
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 5: public about it, and I don't see the FED doing this,

106
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 5: so that's why the door is shut.

107
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Mohammadel Aarian spoke on Bloomberg a last Friday, following the

108
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: main jobs report and the options market sptting the S

109
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: and P five hundred will move one and a quarter

110
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: percent in either direction on Wednesday.

111
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: And before we get all that economic data, investors are

112
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: going to hear from Apple. The company is holding its

113
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: developers conference later today. Bloomberg Intelligence tech analyst Matthew Bloxam

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: says it'll show whether the iPhone maker can become a

115
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: major player in the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence and

116
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: whether that can drive sales.

117
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 10: Big fans really about whether this's going to kickstart a

118
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 10: new smartphone supercycle. Obviously, over the last few years we've

119
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 10: seen smartphone sales generally on the slide, and if you

120
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 10: look at the way this being positioned, these AI features

121
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 10: that they're going to announce are only going to really

122
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 10: be available on the new versions of the phone. So

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 10: it's going to be does Apple do enough with these

124
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 10: AI features to make people think, actually, I really want

125
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 10: to upgrade to get access to these new features.

126
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matthew Bloxam says the announcement will lay

127
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: out that Apple is a serious player in the AI space.

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: Time now for a look at some of the other

129
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: stories making news in New York and around the world.

130
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael bar Good morning, Michael.

131
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 9: Good morning Amy. Former President Donald Trump zeroed in on

132
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 9: his criminal conviction and prosecutors at a campaign rally in

133
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 9: sweltering heat in Las Vegas Sunday afternoon. Trump also denounced

134
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 9: Nevada's Democratic senator, who is up for reelection.

135
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: With your help, we're going to when Nevada. We're going

136
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: to defeat your Biden loving radical.

137
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: Left senator Jackie Rosan, who's terrible.

138
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 9: Those who attended the rally had mixed reviews of the

139
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 9: former president. These Vegas voters talked about why they support

140
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 9: Trump the.

141
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 8: Decline in Biden. You're like, man, how can you vote

142
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 8: for him?

143
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 5: You know, are we better now than we were a

144
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: few years ago?

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 6: Probably not.

146
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 8: You know, I'm myself a nun.

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 9: Softly, however, this Vegas voter supported Nicki Haley before she

148
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 9: dropped out of the race and is uneasy about seeing

149
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 9: the former president back in office.

150
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: The denial of fact scientific fact in the case of

151
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 5: COVID to denial of the election are difficult for.

152
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 9: Me to accept. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden warned against the

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 9: rise of isolationism in the US while visiting an American

154
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 9: military cemetery in France that Donald Trump skipped six years ago.

155
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 9: Biden said he could not fathom the idea that I'd

156
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 9: come to Normandy and not make the short trip here

157
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 9: to pay tribute.

158
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 11: I think it as a measure of a country's support

159
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 11: for democratic failures that they honor those who've risked their

160
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 11: lives and lost their lives.

161
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 9: Biden said the World War One erasemetery was the final

162
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 9: resting place for soldiers who fought in the deadly US

163
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 9: Marine Corps battle. The criminal trial of President Joe Biden's

164
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 9: son is heading into its final stretch. Hunter Biden's lawyers

165
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 9: could call at least one more witness when the case

166
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 9: resumes today in Delaware's federal court. Biden himself. He is

167
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 9: charged with three felonies stemming from the October twenty eighteen

168
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 9: purchase of a gun he had for about eleven days.

169
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 9: Prosecutors say he lied on a mandatory gun purchase form

170
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 9: by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.

171
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 9: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you

172
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 9: want it with the Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Michael Barr,

173
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 9: and this is Bloomberg Gaming.

174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: All right, Thank you, Michael.

175
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: Nine.

176
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: Now for our Bloomberg Sports update, and for that we

177
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: bring in John stash Hour.

178
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 3: Good morning John, Good morning Amy. After Game one in

179
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals, Dallas coach Jason Kidds said Jalen Brown

180
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: was the Celtics' best player. Some perceived that as a

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: slight of Jason Tatum. What's clear through two games, Boston

182
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: doesn't rely on one player, a big reason. They're fourteen

183
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: and two in the playoffs. They're two wins from the

184
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: championship in Boston. Tatum didn't shoot well six of twenty two,

185
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: but Brown scored twenty one points, Drew Holliday at twenty six,

186
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: shooting eleven of fourteen. South Picks beat them as one

187
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: oh five ninety eight for a two to nothing series,

188
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: leading on ESPN Holiday praise Tatum.

189
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 6: I think I just got the opportunity. I would say

190
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 6: a lot of it was JT was taking the basket.

191
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 6: They were double teaming him and he was back in

192
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 6: the right play. I don't know if he had a

193
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 6: triple double, almost had not rebounds, but the way that

194
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 6: he played to night, the way that he let us

195
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 6: get into the paint, making plays, finding me wide open,

196
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 6: it was alid on.

197
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: Him look down such for Dallas scored thirty two at

198
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: a triple double. You only scored three points of the fourth.

199
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: He had eight turnovers. First words from Dan Hurley. Since

200
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: news are the Lakers pursuing him, he said he's impressed

201
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: by the Lakers, but loves coaching Yukon. Hurley says he'll

202
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: make his decision today whether to change jobs at the stadium.

203
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: Yankee Salva was one of the Dodgers winning six to

204
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: four big three run homer six ending by Trent Grisham,

205
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: who filled in all weekend for the still injured one

206
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: so another homer for Aaron Judges, twenty fourth. He's hit

207
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: eighteen in his last thirty four games. And London Mets

208
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: didn't take their first lead till the ninetheenning then held

209
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: on to the bottom of the game ending double play.

210
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: They beat the Phillies six to five, Red Sox back

211
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: to five hundred, beat the White Sox in ten innings

212
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: Nationals a seven run fourth inning to meet Atlanta eight five,

213
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: and the Oils finished to sweep at Tampa Bay ninety

214
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: two Grand Slam for Adlie Ruschman. Twenty one year old

215
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: Carlos Alcarez, the youngest to win Grand Slams on three

216
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: different services, took the French Open final with Sasha Za

217
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: Savera of coming back to the two sets to one deficit.

218
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: He had done that in the semifinals as well. Scotti

219
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: Scheffler won Memorial Golf in Ohio, his fifth win of

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: the year. John Stashedwer Bloomberry's.

Speaker 4: Bloomberg Business app.

224
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. It

225
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: is attack to the right in Europe. Far right parties

226
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: have handed massive defeats to German chants. They're all off

227
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: Schultze and French President Emanuel mcclo in European Union elections

228
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and now mcclo is calling early elections

229
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: of his own to try to stop the rise of

230
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: his right wing rival perennial rival Marine Lapine in France.

231
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: And for more we are joined by Bloomberg Daybreak Europe

232
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: anchor Stephen Carroll, who has been very busy covering the

233
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: EU elections for US from Brussels. Stephen, good morning. I

234
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: think we knew going in that centrist parties were vulnerable,

235
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: but just how much of a surprise was this result

236
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: for the far right of really sweeping things in Germany

237
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: and France.

238
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 8: Well, that's what's really interesting, Nathan about this story is

239
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 8: that actually the center held its majority in the European Parliament.

240
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 8: So in a big pan European picture, not that much

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 8: change for the parties that have been in power and

242
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 8: that are likely to stay in power at least being

243
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 8: able to nominate a European Commission president and for the

244
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 8: next five years in the EU. It's the individual country

245
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 8: stories where we're seeing those sort of reactions. So you

246
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 8: mentioned Germany. The party of Olas Schultz, the chancellor in Germany,

247
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 8: had its worst performance ever in a European parliament election.

248
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 8: We saw an increase in support to the AfD, the

249
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 8: far right party there, but also a shift to voters

250
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 8: back to the CDU, the Christian Democrats, the party formerly

251
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 8: of Angelo Merkel, so a shift towards the center right

252
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 8: among voters there as well, the Greens too being punished

253
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 8: in Germany. The French result is particularly interesting because, actually,

254
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 8: if you compare it to opinion polls, the score that

255
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 8: Emmanuel Macron's party got of just under fifteen percent and

256
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 8: the score that Marie Le Penz party got on the

257
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 8: far right of around thirty two percent, isn't that far

258
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 8: off what polls were predicting. Even the surprise was what

259
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 8: Emmanuel Macron decided to do about it. He's calling legislative

260
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 8: elections that will happen now at the end of this

261
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 8: month as two rounds of voting, so the thirtieth of

262
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 8: June and the seventh of July, giving voter the chance

263
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 8: to elect a new National Parliament and perhaps setting up

264
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,479
Speaker 8: one of these really wonderfully French political situations. It's called cohabitation.

265
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 8: That's where you get a president from one party and

266
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 8: a prime minister from another. He's essentially saying to the electorate,

267
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 8: if you want to give the National Rally Party, that

268
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 8: party of Marrying lapenat chance to govern, here's their chance.

269
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 8: Knowing full well that he as president is safe in

270
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 8: his job and he'll still remain retain a line share

271
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 8: of the power.

272
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a fascinating move by the French president. It

273
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: almost seems like it's becoming a theme in Europe. I mean,

274
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: we saw Richie Sunek just a few weeks ago call

275
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: an early election when his chips were down. I mean,

276
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: how big a surprise is this that Emanuel mccrawl would

277
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: call the snap election just a few hours after the

278
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: results came in in Brussels.

279
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 8: We're told from our sources in Paris that in fact,

280
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 8: very few people, even within Emmanuel Macron's own circle, knew

281
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 8: that this was coming until the last minute. So this

282
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 8: was part obviously of Emmanuel macron strategy. He wanted to

283
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 8: also surprise the electorate. If you think about it and

284
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 8: take a step back, though, it's perhaps not that surprising

285
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 8: because Emmanuel Macron, although his party is the largest in

286
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 8: the French Parliament, doesn't have a majority and they've been

287
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 8: struggling to get some key measures through the parliament so far.

288
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 8: So the idea of throwing it open to an election,

289
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 8: it wasn't entirely off the cars the cards. Rather, before

290
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 8: this election, but he's taking a gamble. Some are calling

291
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 8: it an audaciously bold step. Some are saying that it's

292
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 8: a really big risk for Emmanuel Macron.

293
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: Does this put the pressure on Germany's Chancellor all Off

294
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Schultz as well to call earlier elections given the result

295
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: against his party.

296
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 8: Not quite, because the political system works in a slightly

297
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 8: different way in Germany. So actually pulling this sort of

298
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 8: move wouldn't work under the German system because Olaf Schultz

299
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 8: would lose power, whereas with Emmanuel Macron, because the Parliament

300
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 8: only has some of the power and most of it

301
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 8: lies with the president. Emmanuel Macron can do this knowing

302
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 8: that he'll still be able to function as a president,

303
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 8: although weakened in his role as head of state, whereas

304
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 8: if Olaf Schultz did the same thing and lost the election,

305
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 8: he would be out as chancellor and someone else would

306
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 8: get in. So it speaks to the intricacies the individualities

307
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 8: of the European political systems as well. It's worth pointing

308
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 8: out that not all incumbents had a bad day. Georgia

309
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 8: Maloney in Italy, her party is extremely well in these

310
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 8: European elections, and in Spain, Pedro Sanchez managed to hold

311
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 8: on to his level of support for his party. They

312
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 8: came second, But when you look at what's happening over

313
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 8: the border in France, I think perhaps he could be

314
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 8: quite relieved that he came second in these elections.

315
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: So just in our last thirty second, Stephen, what could

316
