On today's podcast: 1) The first truce since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted last month went into effect on Friday morning. The deal came after weeks of complex and delicate talks brokered by Qatar, the US and Egypt. The halt in fighting in Gaza is intended to last for four days.

Full transcript:|Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm John Tucker. Here are these stories we're following today. The first group of Israeli hostages is expected to leave the Gaza Strip soon in a deal that's meant to return fifty of the nearly two hundred and forty captives that Hamas took from Israel. Israel plans to release one hundred and fifty jailed Palestinians. All involved are women and people under the age of nineteen. This stop in fighting is intended to last for four days. It marks the first major lull in this war since it began October seventh. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says the military offensive will go on after that. We hope to get this first tronch out and then we're committed to getting everyone out, but we'll continue with our fore aims namly to eradicate Kamas, because Kamas has already promised that they will do this again and again and again. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says he has delivered that same message in a phone call to President Biden. We had along with a hostage release, the deal will also allow for more AID into Gaza. Bloomberg's owner Aunt says the humanitarian aid is critical for the people at Gaza. The very first trucks that went in we're carrying cooking gas, which obviously is very critical for more than two million people are currently living in Gaza in what the UN calls a dire humanitarian situation. Bloomberg's owner Aunt reports Palestinians were emerging from temporary shelters and crowded the streets as southern Gaza as the AID trucks entered. Back in the US, we want to bring you update from the events that unfolded on the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls this week. New York Governor Kathy Hochel says that bridge is back open after a car explosion on Wednesday killed two people and closed that crossing between the US and Canada. Hockel says there is no sign of terrorism so far. She adds a suspect of ties to Western New York has been identified. Investigation will determine if the blast was intentional or an accident. The holiday shopping season kicks into full swing today, with shoppers searching for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Deloitte Saniel Thanksgiving survey. He finds consumers plan on spending and average almost five hundred and seventy dollars on both days. That's up thirteen percent from last year. And Bert Flickinger managed Rector with Strategic Resource Groups. As shoppers are feeling confident, however, they're using a new tool this shopping season. It's going to be by now, pay later. Fifteen percent of all purchases will be that way, and consumers are still taking on credit card debt, but sixty three percent of consumers will be buying with debit card and trying to put less on credit as interest rates have climbed and the average household has seventeen thousand and revolving unpaid credit card debt. Bert Flickinger with Strategic Resource Groups. As many consumers plan to do much of the shopping during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in order with their spending limits, traders are going to be following the traditional kickoff of the holiday shopping season today as well as SMP Global Manufacturing PMI data that comes after the Eco data dump we saw on Wednesday. It showed a drop in jobless claims and expectations that inflation will climb from the University of Michigan sentiment poll.

Starting in the banking sector, Barkley's aiming to reduce costs by as much as one point three billion dollars over the next several years and could cut up to two thousand back office jobs that's about two percent of its workforce. This according to a report from Reuter's. Bloomberg's Jenny Serdaine says investors are looking for a renewed strategy after a disappointing third quarter. I think a lot of this is driven by investors just really being unhappy with how this company has been run. And so you've got you know, vin Kata Krishnan, their CEO, who's really looking at trying to take some big, bold moves here and promising that he's going to have a strategy update that will really make clear how to bring Barklays out of this position that they're in. Bloomberg's Jenny Strain says Barkleys could make more cuts in other areas outside the back office. Barkley's share is down about eleven and a half percent this year, and checking those shares now John they're up about a half percent in the pre market in London. Staying in Europe, the economic picture is getting darker in Germany. The German government is suspending a constitutional limit on net new borrowing for a fourth straight year as it struggles to recover from an energy induced downturn last winter. This move to lift the so called debt break will be part of a revised twenty twenty three budget. Chancellor Olof Schultz's government was forced into a radical budget overhaul after a ruling last week from the nation's top court. And turning to Asia, the Chinese government ramping up pressure on banks to support struggling real estate developers. Bloomberg's David English has more we here, trying to may allow banks to offer unsecured short term loans to qualified developers for the first time. These so called working capital loans would offer funds for day to day operations. The loans are different from other types of debt that require land or assets as collateral. We reported that authorities are finalizing this list of developers eligible for that aid. Sources say the list includes Country Garden and sign a Ocean Group. Country Garden shares jump twenty four percent yesterday on word that it was included in that list in Hong Kong. I'm David Ingliss Bloomberg Radio. Okay, David, thanks to earlier this week, oh Peck plus pushback and gathering to finalize output levels for next year by four days to November thirtieth. Now, the group says that meeting will take place online and now it's time to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world with Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Good Morning, Michael, Good Morning, Nathan and Ireland. Violent clashes broke out in central Dublin after a five year old girl was seriously injured in a NiFe attack that also saw a woman and two other young children hospitalized. Police and the attack happened near a school. Soon after, at least one hundred people took to the street, some armed with metal bars. Police said. Over four hundred officers, including many and riot gear were deployed in Dublin city center to contain the unrest. The head of the Irish Police Guarded Commissioner Drew Harris. We have a complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far right ideology, and also then this disruptive tendency here engaged in serious violence. Commissioner Harris says a person of interest, a man in his fifties, was arrested at the scene. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in nineteen ninety three. The three page legal document does not contain details of the alleged assault. Adams denied the allegations absolutely not true. You know, I would never do anything to anyone, and it's just really say, you know, my career speaks for itself. The suit comes just hours before New York's Adult Survivor's Act expires, which eliminates the statute of limitations for accusers of sexual abuse to come forward. The filing seeks a trial and five million dollars in relief. Evacuation orders have been lifted near the scene of a tank or train derailment in eastern Kentucky.

I'm Dan Schwarzman from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on SYRIASXAM, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We continue to monitor developments in the Middle East, where the first pause in fighting between Israel and Hummas in more than six weeks appears to be holding, and it comes after weeks of delicate talks aimed at releasing some of the nearly two hundred and forty hostages that HUMMAS captured in the deadly October seventh attack on Israel. For more, we are joined by Bloomberg's Henry Mayer, who is part of our team of reporters who has been covering this war in the Gaza strip since it began. Henry, good morning. Get us up to speed on developments thus far are since it does look as though this truth is underway and does appear to be holding. Yes, good morning. Well, the truth started at about seven o'clock in the morning local time, and they haven't been any indications of any violations. And you know the importance next stage is going to be the release of thirteen hostages which are being held in Gaza currently. That is expected at four pm local time, and on the same day at thirty nine Palestinian prisoners. All of these are women and people aged under the age of nineteen children in the case of the hostages, and in the prisons you're looking at youths aged under nineteen. So you know, I can't stress how difficult this process has been to even get where we are today. It took weeks of very very difficult diplomacy, secret diplomacy. It broke down at certain stages. But of course, you know the problem is that it's for four days only today have been for the Gaza residents two point one million of them who've been living under daily bombardment for almost seven weeks. Today they finally came out, They left the shelter, they were able to walk around. But of course, at the back of their minds is they know that this arrangement may only last for four days, could be extended up to ten. But we don't know that yet. Before we get to what comes after, we do need to continue to discuss what comes in the midst of this pause. Part of this deal was to get more humanitarian aid into Gaza as well. Have we seen signs of progress there? Yes, we have. You know, there are trucks which are entering through the border with Egypt, the Rapha crossing. We understand from HOMAS officials border officials they expect two hundred trucks to enter Gaza today. This is significantly more than has been allowed to Gaza in recent weeks, but it's still much less than used to come prior to the war, five hundred a day. So the amount of aid that Gaza needs, you know, is way more than what is going to becoming in the next few days. But obviously it's a step in the right direction. And what about the distribution of that aid, because We've heard reports from the United Nations and other non governmental organizations in the area that they have suffered through these bombardments over the last several weeks as well. I mean, what's the difficulty in getting aid into and distributed through Gaza when we've seen so much destruction over the last several weeks. Well, obviously one of the greatest difficulties is the fact that you have an active war zone and it's extremely dangerous to move around. Secondly, there's an acute lack of fuel, so Israel imposed a complete blockade on fuel deliveries initially, and in the recent a week or so it has been allowing in very small quantities of fuel to be used only by the United Nations for transportation purposes. But the quantities of fuel coming in the UNSA that they're completely inadequate for its operations. So yeah, that is something which is still a big problem in the time we have left, Henry, Let's talk about what comes after this pause. We did hear from Israel's Prime Minister, and we've heard from him several times that he does not want the war to end even after this pause expires, but he is under a lot of pressure, particularly from the United States to at least change some of the conduct of this war. What can we expect going forward. I mean, I think that the pressure is only going to increase, and it's not only international pressure, and you mentioned the United States, that's very important. At the same time, there's a domestic issue here, the issue of the hostages. Two hundred and for…

2) Altman Returns as OpenAI CEO
3) Nvidia Investors Give Ho-Hum Reaction to Latest Growth Surge
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On today's podcast: 1) OpenAI said it’s in “intense discussions” to unify the company after another tumultuous day that saw most employees threaten to quit if Sam Altman doesn’t return as chief executive officer. 2) Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella signaled that he’d be open to Sam Altman going back to OpenAI, rather than joining his company as part of a surprise move announced over the weekend. 3) The leader of Hamas said his group was close to reaching a “truce agreement” with Israel via Qatari mediation in rare public comments that suggest talks over freeing some hostages held by the Gaza-based group are progressing. 4) Nvidia’s quarterly results could still exceed sky-high investor expectations thanks to strong demand for generative artificial intelligence. Full transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. Karen, we begin with the controversy surrounding open Ai. A day after the founder, Sam Altman left for Microsoft, the firm says it is in quote intense discussions to unify the company. In an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg News, Vice president of Global Affairs, Anna Macanju says open Ai management is also in touch with Aldman. In an interview with Bloomberg News, Microsoft CEO Satia Nadella signaled he would be open to Aldman going back to open ai. We really want to partner with open ai, and we want to partner with Sam. And so you respect to where Sam is. He's working with Microsoft, and that is the case on Friday, and that'll be that's the case today, and we will I absolutely believe that'll be the case tomorrow. Microsoft CEO Satia Nadella says, no matter what happens, open ai needs governance changes. Microsoft shares closed at a record high yesterday. Nearly all of open AI's employees threatened to quit and follow Altman to Microsoft unless the current board resign. Gene Munster managing partner at deep Water Asset Management thinks Altman will land back at open AI. The board's going to be gone. So when if Altman goes back, by the way, that is my prediction what happens here. I think he's actually going to return to open AI. If he goes back to open AI, they're going to be more aggressive at opening these models up. And if he stays with Microsoft, they're going to be more aggressive. And I think at the end of the day, you're probably going to see faster adoption of AI features. It's been coming at a neck break speed, but I think it's going to be even faster based on everything that's happened here. This is really allowing Altman to take his gloves off and probably do what he's wanted to do for the last eight years, and that's deep Water Asset Management's Gene Munster speaking to Bloomberg. Now, let's get to the latest from the Middle East. The leader of Hamas Ismail Hania says his group is close to reaching a truce agreement with Israel through talks mediated by contract President Biden has said both sides are near a deal to free some of the two hundred and forty hostages Hamas seized in the October seventh attack. White House National Security spokesman John Kirby says there would need to be a pause in the fighting if you're going to secure the release of hostages, and we certainly hope we're going to be able to do that soon. You got to make sure they can get from where they are to safety and do that as safely as possible, which means you're going to have to have at least a temporary, localized stop in the fighting. White House spokesman John Kirby says it's been difficult getting information on the hostages because Hamas has control of that access. Meantime, Israeli forces continue to engage in heavy fighting in the Northern Gaza Strip. Israel's taking control of much of the Alshifa Hospital, which it says Hamas used as a command and control center. Well Nathan, the White House is open accounts on Meta's social media platform as threads for the President and Vice President, and Bloomberg said Baxter has the details. The White House says it's just another way to meet people where they are. It says it's been using different forms of media since the beginning of the administration, and this has been in motion for several weeks now, but the timing does come in the wake of Elon Musk's endorsement of antisemitic content, and according to sources, the White House is not considering ending its use of ex accounts because of that, although they do say the Musk post angered Biden and his aides Ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio OK, thank you. A new front's opening in the US China chip conflict. President Biden is shifting focus to an emerging area of the contest for technological supremacy, the process of packaging semiconductors that has increasingly seen as a path to achieving higher performance. The US isn't alone though, in recognizing the potential of so called advanced packaging. China too is capitalizing on an area that is not subject to sanctions, capturing global market share and achieving progress that it was denied in manufacturing high end chips well staying with ships. Nathan Nvidia reports earnings after the bill. The high flying semiconductor stock is up two hundred and forty five percent so far this year year. Mandy Singh, senior technology analysts for Bloomberg's and Video shares closed at an all time high yesterday, and Karen was staying on the earnings front. Zoom reported better than expected revenue on strong enterprise sales. The company who signature video software became the essential communications tool for home bound Americans during the pandemic, has now turned its focus to business customers, as Zoom has added features for those clients, including word processing, and stepped up the use of artificial intelligence to buttress its main video conferencing service. Nathan Investors also have their eyes on US treasuries, wondering if the world's deepest dead market will suffer a third straight year of losses, and we get more in this live report from Bloomberg's John Tucker. John, Good morning, Karen. Investors who anticipated twenty twenty three would be the year of the bond were instead hit by waves of turmoil, but the year may have a happy ending, as treasury sore this month, traders now bet the Fed is done with hiking interest rates and in fact will cut rates of the first half of next year. You hope that happy narrative gets support when the Fed today releases minutes of its last policy meeting. The surgeon bond price has also got a green light to continue yesterday after an auction of twenty year debt went off without a hitch. US treasuries have gained two point six percent this month through Friday, cutting the loss for the year to merely two tenths of a percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg John Tucker Bloomberg Radio, All right, John, thank you. Finally, as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, spending are projected to hit new highs. Consumers plan to spend an average of five hundred and sixty seven dollars during those two shopping events. That would be a thirteen percent increase from last year. That result is a record for Deloitte's annual Black Friday Cyber Monday survey. About eighty four percent of shoppers say they feel confident enough to stick with the budgets they set in September four and ten say they will finish their holiday shopping during this long holiday weekend, futures pointing to a month honestly hire open this morning on Wall Street. This is Bloomberg sor Ry Nathan. Thanks. It's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that were joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris Amy, Good Morning, Good morning, Karen. Police in Ohio see a shooter opened fire at a Walmart, wounding four people before apparently killing himself. The attack took place last night out of Walmart and Beaver Creek in the Dayton metropolitan area. Beaver Creek Police Captain Scott Molnar says the four victims are currently being treated for their injuries. Centured four victims. The conditions of the victims right now is unknown, as they were all transported to area hospitals for treatment. Police did not immediately release the name of the gunman or a possible motive for the attack. Meanwhile, in Colorado, another mass shooting, police say three people are dead and fourth is in critical condition after a gunman opened fire in Custer County. Police say that gunman is on the run. They believe he was in a civil dispute with one of the victims over property lines. Donald Trump's gag order our hearing is over a panel of three federal appeals witnesses appeared reluctant to give Trump a green light to resume public attacks on witnesses, prosecutors, and court staff, but they did signal that they would be open to narrowing the scope of the gag order. Judge Patricia Millett, we certainly want to make sure that the criminal trial process and its integrity as truth finding function are protected. Use a careful scalpel here and not step into really sort of skewing in the political arena, don't we. The DC Circuit put the case on a fast track rather than a typical appeal, but did not say when it plans to rule. Trump's lawyers have already said they'll ask the Supreme Court to intervene if the Appeals Court doesn't lift the full order. Thanksgivings just two days away, but the travel rush is already underway by road, railer, runway. Millions of Americans are traveling this week.

You've been hearing a lot about Open Ai and Sam Altman and Microsoft. Of course, we'll be talking to the Microsoft CEO, Satia Nadella. He joined our Emily Chang, and he's going to discuss this entire story with us straight ahead. And ahead of that conversation, futures are lower with SNP futures down a tenth of a percent, down about five points. And this is Bloomberg from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on SYRIASXAM, the Bloomberg Business app in Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. We continue to follow the saga at open Ai after a whirlwind of events over the weekend led to the ouster of co founder Sam Aldman, only for Microsoft to bring him on. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella joined Bloomberg's Emily Chang to discuss the hiring of Sam Maltman as OpenAI investors push for Altman to come back. They also spoke about Microsoft's partnership with the company and its goals for artificial intelligence. Let's bring you that conversation now, Satya. Obviously, it's been a very fast moving and dramatic last of seventy two to forty eight hours, and I want to start with the state of play. Where are we now? Open ai says it's hired a new CEO. We're reporting their efforts to get Sam Altman back. Tell us where things stand. Well, first of all, having it's great to be with you, you know, on Friday morning, we were very excited, committed and confident in our innovation roadmap to bring this next generation of AI to our customers. And we feel fantastic and capable of doing that. And we were partnered with open ai, and we were partnered with Sam and that's exactly where I am on Monday afternoon, if you will, because we think that we can. You know, we are leading in this next generation of AI technology. We continue to be committed to open ai, and we continue to be committed to Sam and Greg and the team in respect you where they are. And you know, I think about Sam has chosen multiple times now to work with us, and that's fantastic to see. And I think the real thing is that the capability that Microsoft has across the tech stack is what attracts great people like Sam, you know, and people like Sam, and you know, innovators like Sam when it comes to AI, to come to us, and we are thrilled about it. You incredibly quickly hired Sam as well as Greg. We are hearing that Sam wants to return. Investors want him to return to open ai. How would you feel about that? Yeah, as I said, we really want to partner with open ai and we want to partner with Sam. And so in respect you of where Sam is, he's working with Microsoft. And that is the case on Friday, and that'll be that's the case today and we will I absolutely believe that that will be the case tomorrow. So what are the conversations you've had with open AI's current board from their perspective, where do things stand? And have you talked with Emmett Sheer, the new interim CEO. Yeah, I've had conversations with Emmett, and again it's the same thing. There's no real difference there from where we were when we were working with Mira and she was interim CEO, when Sam was CEO and Emmett So my message to them Emmett is very clear, which is, hey, look, we remain very very committed to open ai and it's mission and it's sort of roadmap and they can count on…
Full show notes at the publisherOn today's podcast: 1) OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman is joining Microsoft to lead its AI effort after the board replaced him with Twitch’s ex-CEO, a stunning reversal for the widely respected tech-evangelist who helped jumpstart the artificial intelligence boom. 2) Israeli forces engaged in heavy fighting with Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip overnight as the US said it was optimistic about a deal to free hostages held by the militant group. 3) Elon Musk railed against “bogus” media reports accusing him of antisemitism, issuing his strongest response yet after endorsing antisemitic content in a post on X that provoked outrage and alienated advertisers like Apple Inc. 4) Rosalynn Carter, who broke new ground as an activist US first lady by attending her husband’s Cabinet meetings and leading a presidential effort to improve care for the mentally ill, all while raising a young daughter at the White House, has died. She was 96. Full Transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. Karen, we begin with a wild weekend in the world of artificial intelligence. Less than seventy two hours after he was ousted at OpenAI, the company behind chat GPT, which he helped to create, Sam Aldman has now been hired by Microsoft. He's going to lead Microsoft's new in house artificial intelligence team. Bloomberg Original's host A Zimazhar, author of AI newsletter Exponential View, says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella didn't waste time nabbing old men. Satya has moved very quickly to shore up the commitments he has made to his customers. Microsoft has made a big bet on open ai, and the technology was now powering so many Microsoft products, including their most premium office Suite through the co pilot that was sort of part supported by OpenAI. So I think this is a very very rapid move on his part to ensure that Microsoft can continue to be a leader in developing and deploying AI systems for enceerprises. Bloomberg Original's host A zim Oshar says Greg Brockman and open ai co founder who also left, is going to be joining Altman at Microsoft as well, and right now shares of Microsoft are hire by two and a half percent in early trading. Well, Nathan Altman was fired on Friday after the board of open Ai said they lost confidence in him as a leader, and Bloomberg's Rachel Metz says open Ai offered few clues as to the reasons for the departure. Open ai leadership has put out memos internally at the company, saying that the board hasn't said that there was any quote mal season or anything like that, so it's not totally clear what the board was initially even accusing him of doing when it got rid of him, and Bloomberg's Rachel Metz says open AI's board hired former Twitch chief Emitted Sheer as chief executive. Microsoft CEO Sunny and Adela said his company looks forward to working with Sheer and remains admitted to the open Ai relationship. Well Karen, Another big name in tech is in the news this morning for a very different reason. Elon Musk is defending himself after an anti Semitic furor has deepened. More on that this morning from Bloomberg's John Tucker, John and Nathan Musk posted on x that he is not anti Semitic and he wishes only the best for humanity. A backlash erupted last week after the head of Tesla and AX agreed with a post that said Jewish people hold a dialectical hatred of white people advertised there's like Apple and Walt Disney pulled away from Max. What we used to know is Twitter. The Financial Times Meantime reports that advertising executives privately urged X CEO Linda Yakarino over the weekend to resign in order to save her reputation. A Musk is a track record of promoting hate speech, but not everyone is abandoned Musk. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman was among those who leapt a Musk's defense. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio, Right, John, Thank you now. To the latest. In the Middle East, the White House says a deal is as close as it's ever been for Hamas to release hostages in exchange for Israel foreing Palestinian women and children from its prisons. Deputy National Security Advisor John Finer says the agreement could involve a multi day pause in the fighting in Gaza. That would first and foremost enable the hostages to actually be released safely, but that would also make it much easier to both bring humanitarian assistance into Gaza and also distribute that assistance. John Finer at the White House spoke on ABC's This Week Heard Sundays on Bloomberg Radio. Israel also released video of a tunnel chef near the Alshifa Hospital in Gaza City. Rear Admiral and Daniel Hungary with the Israel Defense Forces says it proves Hamas used the facility as a command center. Hamas was hiding and murdering our hostages in Shifa Hospital. Hamas was building terror tunnels underneath Shifa Hospital. Israel's government also says around back who he wearbules and Yemen hijacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, being a key global shipping route elsewhere globally. In Argentina, Karen libertarian outsider Javier Malay will become the country's new president. Malay's promising a radical shakeup to fix decades of policy mismanagement. Speaking to crowds in Buenos Aires, the president to like to stress the need for immediate action, promise the situation in Argentina is critical. The changes that this country needs are drastic. There's no room for gradual measure, and there's no way to say it. Long lived freedom. Javier Malay spoke there through an interpreter and also highlighted Argentina's critical economic condition in that address to supporters. Markets in Argentina are close today for public holiday.

Coming up on Bloomberg Daybreak. We are going to be speaking with our own Creedy Gupta. We'll be discussing that changes at open Ai and of course Sam Altman going over to Microsoft again. That's coming up with Crety Gupta, and then we'll get the latest on the war in the Middle East. We'll be joined by Israeli government spokesman Alon Levy ahead of those conversations, though, futures on the rise, with SNP futures up a tenth of ve percent, up about six points this morning. And this is Bloomberg from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager on the end of what could be the end of a head spinning few days. Just keeping on top of what's been happening at OpenAI. It started with the sudden announcement on Friday that CEO Sam Altman was being ousted, then a tug of war between open AI's board and its biggest investors to try to get Altman back. Now the word this morning that Sam Altman and OpenAI founder Greg Brockman have landed at Microsoft, one of those biggest open Ai investors, to run Microsoft's in house AI team. Let's get more on all this now we're joined by Bloomberg's Critty Gupta. Did I sum it up well enough? There? Critty? You did? And yet there's still so much more to pack. I mean, this saga is so fascinating. Nathan. You mentioned Microsoft and Opening I clearly have a close relationship. Let's put some numbers on it. Microsoft has a forty nine percent stake in open Ai. But now I guess the question is, what do you do with that steak? If Sam Altmant and I believe it's been reported that half of the company's employees have followed him, are now going to be absorbed into Microsoft itself. But Nathan, I think we shop at the market moves here MSFT, your ticker hired by two point six percent off that news. Macro read through as well if you don't care about Microsoft specifically, Nasdaq futures popped on the news when they broke at about eight am London time, So again something to watch very closely, but also read through into alphabet Google shares goog down about one percent. Because now we are in direct competition with Alphabet's offering of their own AI platform, Deep Mind. So you are starting to see this become a true kind of competitive take between Microsoft and Alphabet when it comes to the AI, even more of an arms race potentially when it comes to artificial intelligence. And what does it say now when you have the leadership of open ai now in charge of Microsoft's in house team, and at least at the moment, Microsoft is saying they still want to have that relationship with open Ai. I mean can they? I mean, in theory they can because of that forty nine percent stake that exists. But I guess the question now really goes to words more and this is not my area of expertise and manly intellectual property and where the founding of it is. If you look at the makeup of the board of open Ai, the board that ousted Sam Altman, by the way, it's made up of basically the brains behind chat GPT, you're chief scientist for example, that Sam Altman was notably at odds with even Mira Marati, she was the chief technical officer over at open Ai before she became interim CEO. She's been advocating for Sam to actually come back to the board, but other members of the board include experts in tech who were actually able to help create it. There is a thought out there that perhaps Microsoft would want to kind of not only create their own AI team, but also have that exposure to whatever it is open Ai takes on next, especially under their new leadership of the former Twitch CEO Emmett Shecher. All r…

President Biden has ended the immediate threat of a government shutdown. He has signed a temporary spending bill that extends government funding into early next year. Bloomberg's Amy Morris has the details from Washington. President Biden signed the legislation yesterday while in California for a summit of APEC leaders. The bill maintains existing funding levels and pushes a fight over the federal budget into the new year. When Housublicans say they will push for stiff spending cuts. It splits the deadlines for passing full year appropriations bills into two days January nineteenth for some federal agencies February second for others. This short term package allows lawmakers to regroup over the Thanksgiving holiday while talks continue on spending in policy agreements in Washington. I maye more as Bloomberg Radio, Sorry, Amy, thanks by the stopgap bill does not include funding for Ukraine and Israel. In fact, new usaid for Ukraine risks slipping to mid December and maybe longer, casting doubt on Washington's ability to keep up the flow of weapons that both the Biden administration and the Ukrainian governments say is vital as soon as Congress could complete negotiations and pass new Ukraine assistance his mid December, nearly two months after President Joe Biden first requested sixty one billion dollars for the country in its war against Russia. Well, now, Karen, let's turn to the latest on the war in the Middle East. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu is defending his country's raid on the Alshifa Hospital in Gaza City. He says, Israeli troops uncovered a Hamas command center underneath the facility. We had concrete evidence that there were terrorists chieftains and terrests. There are terrorists minions in the hospital, and in fact they fled as our forces approached. They fled. That's why we had no firefight. We entered that hospital with Arabic speaking Israeli doctors with incubators and we had no firefight. But Hamas was using the patients in that hospital as a human shield. Prime Minister n Antanyahu spoke on the CBS Evening News. Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it has taken control of Gaza's harbor. People in the southern city of Conyunis say Israel has dropped leaflets telling them to seek shelter and sirius as it's intercepted some Israeli missiles aimed at targets in Damascus. Well back in the U, asked Nathan. The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation some it is wrapping up in San Francisco, and we're learning more about President Biden's deal with China's Sheshin Ping to crack down on Fentanel. The White House agreed to remove a Chinese organization accused of human rights abuses from its sanctions list change for Beijing's WHO operation about an administration official tells Bloomberg taking the Institute of Forensic Science off the Commerce Department's entity list was the only way for the US to make progress on the Fentandel crisis, and at the APEX Summit, Karen the CEO of Alphabet, said he expects China to be at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence development. Speaking with Bloomberg, Soon Darpshai warned the world's two biggest economies will have to work together on developing a framework for AI. My senses, there is no way you make progress over the long term without China and the US deeply talking to each other on something like AI. So I think that has got to be an integral part of how you make progress. So I think I'm glad to see it, and you know, we have to lay the foundations. The good thing is we are still in early days of the technology. Alphabet CEO Soon Darpuchai's comments come after business titans including Apples, Tim Cook, and Black Rocks Larry Fink, attended dinner with China's president on the sidelines of the APEC summit. Well, Nathan, we're seeing fall out this morning from Elon Musk's endorsement of an anti semitic social media post. A Tesla investor is calling for must to resign, and IBM has now suspended its advertising on X because of the proximity of its ads to Nazi posts. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story. This comes amidst a swirl of controversy surrounding X and Elon Musk. In the past couple of days, watchdog group Media Matters reported out that IBM, Apple Oracle, Exfanity, and Bravo all had a placement. IBM opted off, saying IBM has zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination. Meanwhile, the White House has reacted to a Musk post so that it says is anti semitic. NC spokesman John Kirby, we certainly abhorror comments that are anti Semitic in tone and certainly don't associate ourselves with the comment. Musk endorsed a post that said the Jewish community pushed hatred toward whites in San Francisco. I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, okay, and thank you. Moving to mark It's now we're watching shares of applied materials in the pre market. They're down more than seven percent. Reuter's is reporting the largest maker of chip making machinery in the country is facing a criminal investigation for allegedly violating export restrictions to China. The report says the Justice Departments looking at whether Applied Materials sold hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment without the proper licenses. And Nathan, the escalating fight between the US and China, where technological dominance has triggered one of the most stunning reversals of corporate strategy yet. Ali Baba Group has walked back plans to spin off in list it's eleven billion dollar cloud business. Ali Baba shares dropped nine percent yesterday, wiping out more than twenty billion of market value. On the flip side, Karen Watching shares of Gap they are hired by more than eighteen percent. The retailer reported third quarter profit that exceeded forecast. Same store sales fell for a fourth straight quarter, but that decline was less than expected. Stronger results at Old Navy, GAP's biggest brand offset weakness at Athleta and Banana Republic. Crude oil has collapsed into a bear market Nathan. It's down twenty percent from its September high. CRUs run of four straight weekly decline so long as losing streak since May has come despite collective and voluntary supply cuts by the Organization of petroleum exporting Countries and its allies. The losses have also been embedded by the evaporation of an Israel Hamas war risk premium as fears the conflict would expand and disrupt oil supplies have so far not materialized. And it's time now for a look at some other stories making news around the world, and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. The pressure is building for New York Congressman George Santos to resign or face expulsion. It follows a scathing House Ethics Committee report. Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons has that story. Committee Chairman Michael Guest says the evidence uncovered in the House investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment, and he plans to file an expulsion resolution. Wisconsin Republican Congressman Brian stone File tells Bloomberg's sound on the findings are alarming. The illegal actions that are set forward in this report are incredibly concerning. The report alleged Santos used campaign money to pay off his personal bills and to make luxury purchases. Santos responded to the report saying he would not run for reelection in Washington. Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio and that expulsion resolution Nancy was talking about is expected to be filed by nine o'clock this morning in Washington. A New York appeals court says the gag orders imposed on Donald Trump by the judge in the state's civil fraud trial against him are unconstitutional, and the restrictions were put on hold pending for their arguments. The decision is a major win for Trump, who has publicly lambasted the judge overseeing the case and accused him of frampant bias. This is just one of six trials Trump is facing as he seeks re election. California officials say a section of Interstate ten in Los Angeles that was damaged in a fire last week will reopen earlier then expected. Governor Gavin Newsom's said the mile long stretch of interstate will be open to traffic again weeks ahead of time after the state doubled the crews working on those repairs. One thing we can guarantee you is we will be opened five lanes in both directions at the latest Tuesday of next week. Fire officials say the fire was deliberately set in an arson investigation is ongoing. Secretary of State Antony Blincoln yesterday signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with the Philippines. At the signing ceremony, Secretary Blincoln said it is part of the US support for clean energy projects there with the Philippines leadership, we're also working together to develop a nuclear energy sector in their country to fuel a reliable, secure, and affordable clean energy future. The agreement allows the US to legally export nuclear equipment and material to the Philippines for peaceful uses.

John Stasha our Bloomberg Sport from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, d C. Nationwide on SYRIASXAM, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg daybreak, Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. China will be at the forefront of artificial intelligence. That's what the CEO of Alphabet soon Dar Pashai, is saying. He says it is important for the US to collaborate with China on both regulation and innovation when it comes to AI. Pieshai, along with executives from Microsoft, City Group and Tesla, have been meeting with Chinese President Shi Jinping and US President Joe Biden at the APEX summit in San Francisco. After those meetings, the Alphabet CEO joined Bloomberg's Emily Chang and told her the world's two biggest economies do need to work together on AI regulation and development. It's not going to be easy, but I would start from this PREMI is that AI will proliferate, So this is not the inherent nature of software. AI advances will get out to in all countries, and so it is naturally the kind of technology. I don't think there's any unilateral safety to be had. We all have a shared incentive to solve for safety. You know, you could have AI go wrong in one country that will impact every other country. So in some ways, it's like climate change. In the planet. We all share a planet. I think that's true for AI. So now that you know that that will be true, I think you have to start building the frameworks globally to make progress. I've seen encouraging progress when the G seven happened in Hiroshima, I think it was a good start. You've seen more progress the Uki summit last week. The administration here, the White House has been leading the way as well, and I saw good encouraging announcements even yesterday for US in China to start having a dialogue on AI, well, that was my next question. Should Chinese regulators be part of this conversation on AI regulation? My sense is there is no way you make progress over the long term without China and the US deeply talking to each other on something like AI. So I think that has got to be an integral part of how you make progress. So I think I'm glad to see it. And you know, we have to lay the foundations. The good thing is we are still in early days of the technology, so laying the foundations now will allow us to work through the tough issues and build a common framework over time. How do you think AI? And obviously the US presidential election coming up as well. How do you think AI is going to further test election integrity? I think you know, over time, it's going to lower the barrier for creating you know, artificial information which may or may not matror what's happening in the real world, right, and that barrier will come down. So in this cat and mouse game, how do we amp up our defenses against that. We are in early stages, right. You know, we were one of the first companies to announce a water marketing technology for image generation. It's called Synthide, done by deep Mind, and we are…
Full show notes at the publisherOn today's podcast: 1) Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping emerged from their first meeting in a year betting that a handful of small victories will arrest a surge in US-China tensions that has unnerved neighboring nations and threatened global economic growth. 2) President Joe Biden said he still believed his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping was a dictator, casting a shadow over what both sides had characterized as their most productive meeting to date. 3) The US Senate overwhelmingly approved a temporary funding measure to avert a government shutdown, delaying a partisan clash over federal spending until the new year and leaving out emergency aid to allies Ukraine and Israel. 4) The Cleveland Browns announce QB Deshaun Watson is out for the season. Full transcript: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the high stakes meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and she Jinping. They met for more than four hours on the sidelines of the APEX summit in San Francisco. President Biden called his discussions with China's leader some of the most productive he's ever had. I've been meeting with President Sheeshu's both us for vice president over ten years ago. Our meetings have always been canda stradeforward. We haven't always agreed, but they've been straightforward, and today build on the groundwork related over the past several months of high level diplomacy between our teams, We've made some important progress, I believe, and President Biden's words were echoed by President she China is ready to be a partner and friend of the United States. The fundamental princippos that we follow in handling China US relations are mutual respect, peaceful co existence, and wing wing corporation. China's president spoke there through an interpreter, but after the gathering, President Biden was asked whether he still considers China's leader a dictator. Look, he is. I mean he's a dictator in the sense that he is a guy who runs the country. That is collin Cocu based on formagart totally different than ours. And after President Biden's remark, China's Foreign ministry called the statement extremely incorrect and irresponsible political manipulation. Well Nathan asked for the actual meeting, Both Biden and Shi jinping Is say they reached a number of agreements. Bloomberg's ed Baxter has that part of the story, as well as fentanyl. High on President Biden's list is opening communication between the country's militaries. We're reassuming military to military contact direct contacts. As a lot of you press know follow this that's been cut off and it's been worse, and that's how accidents happened. Biden also saying the two agreed on finding ways to control ai Biden also says he was assured that China has no plan to invade Taiwan. Now. She did say that he told Biden that the US should not have plans to suppress China and also ask for sanctions to be removed. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, and thank you. Some of Wall Street's elite attended dinner with Si Jinping. Black Rocks Larry Fink and Stephen Schwartzman of Blackstone were among the top executives seated at the Chinese leader's table, according to a program seen by Bloomberg News. Other big names and attendance were Apple's Tim Cook, Bridgewater associates Ray Dalio, and Pesla says Elon Musk also met with President she yesterday. Well Nathan some major developments out of Washington to avoid a government shut down. In a late night vote, the Senate overwhelmingly approved the House's short term spending bill. Bloomberg's Amy Morris reports from Washington. President Biden is expected to sign the bill that will extend government funding at current levels through two deadlines, one in mid January, the other in early February, but the bill did not include aid for Israel nor Ukraine. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer says that will be lawmaker's next priority after the holiday break. Both sides genuinely care about approving aid to Israel and Ukraine and helping innocent civilians in Gaza, so I hope we can come to an agreement even if neither side gets everything they insist on. And now the risk of partial government shutdown moves to January as House Speaker Johnson faces criticism from within his own party because he did not include deep spending cuts or changes to immigration policies. In Washington, Amy Morris Bloomberg Radio, Thank you. We now turned to the latest developments in the war in the Middle East. The Israeli military says it found a Hamas command center, weapons and technological assets at the Alshifa Hospital in Gaza City. Middle Eastern countries, including Jordan and Turkey, have condemned the raid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking through an interpreter says he makes no apologies for sending troops in. But we were told that we would not reach the outskirts of Gaza city. We arrived. We were told that we won't end to Shifa, but we entered, and in this spirit we say simple thing. There is no place in Gaza that we will not reach. Prime Minister Natanya, whose comments come as The Washington Post reports discussions are underway on a potential deal that would see Hamas free fifty women and children hostages in exchange for an extended pose and fighting, and the release of some Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. Well, Nathan, we turned to the markets now, and shares of Cisco plunging, the drop coming after it gave a disappointing forecast. We get more from Bloomberg's Doug Prisner CEO Chuck Robbins, who's trying to rea doue Cisco's dependency on one time sales of equipment by pushing deeper into software and services such as security. But the transition isn't complete enough to cushion Cisco from smaller corporate budgets, and the company is now projecting the weak environment. Will Linger because customers are taking a break from new orders to installed gear they've already received. In New York, I'm Doug Prisner, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Doug. Thanks, and Cisco's shares are down nearly eleven percent in the pre market. Earnings continue this morning, with the nation's biggest retailer reporting. Get a preview of that from Bloomberg's Tom Busby. Walmart's expected to report that sales growth slow to four percent last quarter. That's less than half the pace from just a year ago as consumers pulled back on their discretionary spending, but sales of food and healthcare products should be resilient and outpaced demand for that general merchandise adjusted ernis per share estimated to be a dollar fifty two total revenue of one hundred and fifty nine point one three billion dollars. Tom Buzby, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Tom, Thanks. Well. In Europe, shares a Berber down almost nine percent. The UK luxury retailer is warning this year's revenue target maybe out of reach after sales barely grew in the most recent quarter. And Karen, we have a big deal for chocolate lovers this morning. US Candy company Mars, has agreed to buy the UK's Hotel Chacalott Group for more than six hundred and sixty million dollars. That price tag represents one hundred and seventy percent premium to Hotel Chachalot's closing price yesterday. All right, Nathan, thanks, it's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. US.

Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed an anti Semitic post on x the social media site that he owns, that attacked members of the Jewish community for pushing dialectical hatred against white people. Musk said in his reply to the post, quote you have said the actual truth. Musk has repeatedly been criticized for promoting content attacking Jewish people at a time of rising anti semitism. After a year of strikes in Hollywood and the auto industry, now it's Starbucks turn.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We've made some important progress. We heard those words from President Biden after his first meeting in more than a year with the leader of the People's Republic of China, Shi Jinping. President says two leaders are restoring military to military communications and they plan to keep talking at the highest levels in the United States, will continue to compete vigorously at the PRC, but will manage that competition responsibly so doesn't veer into conflict for accidental conflict. That was President Biden after his more than four hours sit down with China's leader on the sidelines of the APEX summit in San Francisco, and joining us with more from Singapore is Berg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank. Derek, it's good to have you back with us this morning. Going into these talks, the White House said just talking would be a deliverable. What kind of deliverables can we say We're gleaned from this gathering between Presidents s Biden and shape Well, Nathan, they certainly talked. You know. Yeah. It's funny because in that relationship here, we've seen ebbs and flows between real, real static, real problems, and and times when it has seemed maybe a little bit sunnier, maybe a little bit more placid. I borrow an observation that Singapore's Foreign minister made last week at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum here in Singapore, which was that you shouldn't on US China relations confuse weather with climate. Things might look a little bit more peaceful right now, certainly in the face of this meeting that seemed to go mostly okay, But the for all climate of the US China relationship is still one with a lot of tension points. There were not major fundamental issues resolved here. This is not like we have a giant breakthrough on Taiwan, for example. So so whether a little bit nicer climate overall still very much progressing in the in the in the ways that it was sticking with the weather analogy, I guess maybe one dark cloud in that otherwise sunny gathering could be that question that the President received from a reporter when asked whether he still considers China's leader a dictator, and he basically said yes, he did, he said, he said emphatically yes. And and look, this is one of those things where China does take offense to this. You know, they don't like the term, they don't like it being used about them. But at the same point, the thing I think that bears watching is whether or not China blow it up into a whole big thing and says, right, well, this is some offense and we want to change the tenor of our leader to leader engagement or the relationship more broadly, it doesn't initially seem like that is happening. Remember Joe Biden said this before, and we're still on a path where they've gone to me, she went to the United States. That's actually something that's a big symbol for this meeting. So I'm not sure that that's necessarily going to derail everything here. Where I think it's much more likely if you were looking for risk problems is to look in the South China Sea, specifically off the coast of the Philippines, and some of the territorial disputes that are there, some of the trade disputes that are there. Those are places that I think are potential fracture points. But look, if you're sitting there saying are things a little bit better in the relationship between China and the US than they were this time yesterday, the…
Full show notes at the publisherOn today's podcast: 1) Israeli troops entered Gaza’s Shifa hospital compound as part of a “precise and targeted operation” against Hamas that runs the risk of intensifying international ire if it causes more civilian casualties. 2) President Joe Biden and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping’s carefully choreographed, much-anticipated sitdown on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit kicks off Wednesday at the Filoli estate south of San Francisco. 3) House lawmakers overcame partisan animosity Tuesday to pass a temporary government funding bill that greatly lowers the risk of a shutdown even as it delays fights over Ukraine aid, border policies and deep cuts to federal programs. Full Transcript: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin in the Middle East, where Israel is now carrying out a raid on Gaza's main hospital, Alshifa. The Israeli military calls it a targeted and precise operation against Hamas, but it could add to growing concerns among allies about civilian casualties. Sources tell Bloomberg News the White House is getting more frustrated with Israel's handling of the war and ignoring what the Biden administration calls difficult conversations. But Israeli government spokesman Alon Levy says he is still confident of US support. Israel and the United States a completely in lockstep on the goals of this operation, which is that Hamas must be defeated. President Biden has been very clear from day one. We have been very grateful to him for his moral, material and diplomatic leadership in saying that Israel has every right and every duty to go after Hamas and destroy that terror group and eliminate that threat. That is the only way we can make sure another October seventh massacre doesn't happen. Alon Levy tells Bloomberg Radio Israeli troops are delivering medical aids of the hospital. He says this operation won't be the end of Israel's war with Hamas well. Nathan al Shifa Hospital has now been without power and water for days. Manir al Bersh is from the Hamas run health ministry, and he says newborns are being moved to improve their chances because of shortage of electricity. They have gathered them all and put them on those bids together so that they can have some more tem bricher. You know, the winter is getting inside now Gazza. Without having a proper temperature for them. They immediately die. The UN says only one hospital in northern Gaza is still operational at a minimum level. Back here in the US, Karen, we're following another major story this morning. The threat of a government shutdown is easing. The House has passed a temporary funding bill, and we get the latest from Bloomberg's Amy Morris in Washington. It is a two part measure that would fund some parts of the government through January nineteenth and others through February second, which sets up the possibility of another shut down deadline on Groundhog Day. Democrats bailed out the Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose plan drew opposition from hardliners in his own party because it doesn't cut government spending nor change border policies, and it also doesn't include aid for Ukraine nor Israel. But Senate Democrats are expected to back it anyway. They'll need the cooperation of all senators to meet the Friday night deadline when federal funding lapses. Shington I ma Any Moore is Bloomberg Radio right to me. Thank you well. We are just hours away from the highly anticipated meeting between President Biden and Chinese leader Shi zhen Ping. Their schedule to meet on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in San Francisco. Bloomberg said, Baxter has a preview. It will be the first meeting in a year. She was greeted here by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Governor Gavin Newsom. Students line in the streets waving Chinese flags, and President Biden says communication here is key. We're not trying to decouple from China, but we're What we're trying to do is change the relationship for the better. Biden did say President she needs to ease the criteria for US companies to invest in China and not require those companies to turn over trade secrets. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter, Bloomberg Radio, thank you. Ed. Turning to the economy, a day after investors shared news that inflation broadly slowed in October, we get two more key readings today, Producer prices and detail sales. Let's get a preview of that from Bloomberg's Michael McKee. Sales are forecasts to have fallen in October, led by gasoline autos and the ongoing drop in inflation. Retail sales are calculated in terms of dollar value, so falling gasoline prices and lower goods inflation should have a major impact. Take those out, and sales are forecasts to be up to tenths, much less than the six tenths gain in September. Analysts will also be watching for an expected slowing in producer prices. They don't feed directly into consumer indexes, but offer a rough guide to the future path of inflation. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Mike, thank you. About traders are betting the Fed's hiking cycle is over following yesterday's cool inflation print, But a couple of Wall Street titans are throwing caution. We spoke with Citadel founder Ken Griffin. The FED needs to stay on message that they're going to put the inflation genie back in the bottle, and so they if they cut too soon, I think they risk losing credibility around on their commitment to a two percent inflation target. Ken Griffin's caution was echoed by JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Diamond. I think they do. They're doing the right thing to pause for now. You know they've raised rates a lot, you know, to wait to see the effect on the economy in the US, particularly as the fiscal spending, the excess fiscal spending is winding down and quantit tight and tiny is kicking in. But I still think you should prepare they might have to do a little bit more, and I think people should be prepared for that just as a kind of a risk management tool. And I'm afraid inflation may not go away that quickly. JP Morgan. Chase CEO Jamie Diamond has said previously he's advising clients to be prepared for interest rates as high as seven percent. Inflation's also in focus in Europe, Karen. In fact, inflation in the UK stumbled to its lowest level in two years. Consumer prices rose four point six percent from a year earlier in October, down sharply from six point seven in September. Slow downs prompting investors to firm up bets at the Bank of England will be able to cut rates as early as this of next year. Well we turned to earnings now, Nathan and profit at ten cent beat estimates. Analysts say it's another sign that Chinese consumers remain willing to spend on games and entertainment during a nationwide downturn here in the US. Arnas continue at Target, TJX, and Cisco all set to report, and time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris, Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Tens of thousands of people from across the country gathered on the National Mall in Washington, d C. In support of Israel. Organizers encouraged everyone to speak out against anti Semitism in America today. You can't remain silent. You know, that was a mistake who's made during the Holocaust, during the Second World War, they knew what was going on, but they felt, you know, they were too timid to speak off. Speaking remotely from Jerusalem, Israeli President Isaac Herzog thanked the demonstrators for gathering and supported marching for quote good over evil. Israel's assertion that a Hamas command center is under a key Gaza medical complex is being confirmed by the US. Bloomberg's Nanzy Lions has the latest. A Biden administration says it does have intelligence that confirms Iran backed militant groups are using hospitals, including the Al Shifa facility in Gaza to conceal and support their military operations. This is National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. Members operate a command and control node from Al shifa He and Gaza City. They have stored weapons there and they're prepared to respond to an Israeli military operation against that facility. Kirby says the US does not support striking the hospital from the air or seeing a firefight among helpless sick people. In Washington, Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio Morning continues in Ohio following yesterday's fiery multi vehicle crash that killed six people outside of Columbus, including three high school teenagers. Tusky Valley School Superintendent doctor Derrek Vinarski spoke at a vigil last night at the school's outdoor stadium.

A semi slammed into a charter bus that was carrying the high school marching band on I seventy A teacher and two parent chaperones were also killed in a vehicle that was following the bus. The massive fire that burned a section of the ten Freeway near downtown LA may have started in a homeless encampment. A Stella Lopez is CEO of the Downtown Industrial Business Improvement District.

John Staneshawer Bloomberg Sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, d C. Vationwide on Syrias Exam the Bloomberg Business Appen Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. We want to get you the latest now on the war in the Middle East and the news that Israel's forces are now inside the Alshifa Hospital complex in Gaza City. Facility that it accuses hamasav using as a government center. Alon Levy, Israeli government spokesman, spoke with Bloomberg Radio about the situation on the ground in Gaza and ongoing negotiations to release hostages in the territory. Israeli society is, of course worried sick for the fate of the two hundred and forty hostages have been in Gaza for forty days now since the October seventh massacre. There are children in there, there there are babies, babies. They haven't been given access to the Red Cross. I'm afraid I can't comment on negotiations for their release. You'll understand these are sensitive issues. Human lives are at stake, and when we have information, we will of course update. If the Alshafa Hospital complex is a main one of the main Hamas bases in northern Gaza, once that operation is over, does that mean that the military, the Israeli military has accomplished its main aim in Gaza. In your view, our main aim in Gaza is to destroy the totality of Hamas's terrorists and governing infrastructure. How significant would it be though, if the base that you claim is under the hospital at the hospital in the hospital. How significant would it be if that were something that was dealt with, How big, how significant would it be in terms of the operation. The Sufa Terra compound is of course a very important target. It would be a very serious blow to Hamas. But we should be under no illusions that if that is overrun, and of course we show all that evidence to the international media that the operation will be over because we cannot allow Hamas to regroup, rebuild and remetastasize across the Gaza strip in order to pose a threat to our people. The objective of this war, in response to the October set massacre when Hammas declared war on us, is to destroy Hamas completely so that it can never again pose a threat to our people. Chief of Terror compound is of course very important, but it's not the end, and we know that the days ahead are going to be long and they're going to be difficult. Are you concerned about support from the United States for the military operation fading. We've been reporting about disquiet within the Biden administration with how Israel is conducting this military operation. Not in the least, Israel and the United States are completely in lockstep on the goals of this operation, which is that Hamas must be defeated. President Biden has been very clear from day one. We have been very grateful to him for his moral, material and diplomatic leadership in saying that Israel has every right and every duty to go after Hamas and destroy that terror group and eliminate that threat. That is the only way we can make sure another October seventh massacre doesn't happen by eliminating the terror group that is threatening to do it again. The United States knows that, not only the United States, so do other Arab governments. The United States has been speaking with. We understand they have their own domestic pressures that mean they can't speak openly on the issue, but they understand that the Iranian proxy terrorist group in the Gaza Strip must not be allowed to maintain its territorial control. And that was Israeli government spokesman Alon Levy speaking with Bloomberg's Caroline Hepger and Stephen Carroll for more. We're joined now by Rosalind Mathieson, Bloomberg News Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Roz, good morning. As we watch these developments unfold in the Al Shifa Hospital, we heard those reassurances from the Israeli government spokesman, b…
