Speaker 2: Curtis in Hong Kong. US President Joe Biden warned Israel

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,200

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: talks with Hamas remain deadlocked as we head into the

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: beginning of Ramadan. Bloomberg Senior reporter Ian Marlow says the

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: holy month may impact negotiations.

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 3: Privately, US officials are thinking that Hamas is going to

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: wait a little bit until Ramadan rolls out a tiny

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: bit so they can see whether that you know, that

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 3: that little space will allow the region to heat up.

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: You know, maybe you will see protests. Maybe we'll see protests,

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: you know, in the West Bank or across the region,

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 3: perhaps more violence, and that might put pressure on Israel,

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: the US and allies to try and get to the

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: table more. That is the sense from the West about

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: what they think Hamas is doing.

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Ian Marlow. The US House of Representatives will vote

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,959

Speaker 2: weighed in on Bloomberg's balance of power.

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: What TikTok is doing is sending out messages to all

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: its users to call people like me and say, don't

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: ban TikTok. West we're doing, but I'm trying to ban TikTok.

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 4: I hope it gets a vote. I think that we

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: don't need the Chinese Communist Party telling our kids what

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: to watch online, which is essentially what's going on here.

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 4: And I just want to see TikTok survive and thrive,

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,919
