Full transcript here:Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the latest developments in the Middle East. President Biden says Israel and Hamasa should pause fighting to allow time to free more people from the Gaza Strip. Speaking in Minnesota, the President responded to a protester who demanded a full ceasefire. The United States are going to continue to drive humanitarian support pretas and people on Gaza who need help, and they do need help. We're going to continue to affirm that Israel has the right to respond responsibility to defended citizens from terror, and it needs to do so on a manner of those consistent international and humanitarian law. The presidents also hailed international efforts to open the Rafa border crossing, which allowed hundreds to leave the territory yesterday. Hamas says six hundred more are expected to leave today, including four hundred American citizens. Well, Nathan, we now turned to politics back home. Another attempt by fellow New York Republicans to expel Representative George Santos from the House fell short last night, and Bloomberg's Amy Morris has details from Washington. George Santos is indicted on fraud charges and accused of misconduct. The vote to remove him requires two thirds majority. House Speaker Mike Johnson argued that an expulsion should be contingent on a criminal conviction or some official finding of ethical misconduct. Santo says the vote was a victory for due process. I feel like due process is still alive. I feel like there's enough colleagues on both sides of the aisle here who understand that this was the second time Santos survived in expulsion vote. On Tuesday night, the Ethics Committee said it would reveal its next course of action by November seventeenth, regarding its inquiry into allegations of misconduct in Washington. I Mamy Moore as Bloomberg Radio, all right, Amy, thank you. Meanwhile, the civil fraud trial against former President Donald Trump has reached a key moment. The former president's oldest son has taken the stand. Donald Trump Junior told the judge he was not involved in preparing financial statements for his father's company. In his words, the accountants worked on it. New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump and his two eldest sons of inflating asset values by billions illegal profits. Trump juniors do back on the stand today. The former president is set to testify on Monday. Well, Nathan, we have another big trial in New York and nearing its and jury deliberations could begin as soon as today. In the fraud trial of Sam bankman Fried Bloomberg, the legal reporter AVA Benny Morrison was in the courtroom for the closing arguments. Bank Munfree lawyer Mark Cohen has tended to use metaphors and his jury addresses in this trial, and he suggested that the government had wrongly painted Sam as a villain, as a monster in a Hollywood film about a grand fraud scheme. He said that certainly wasn't the case. Yes, at one point his client was probably the worst dress CEO in the country and had bad hair. To anyone and everyone, including journalists, had a messy life, but that wasn't a crime. And Bloomberg's eva, Bennie Morrison says macbin Freed is charged with seven counts of fraud and money laundering following the collapse of his ftx cryptocurrency last year. Karen, let's now turn to a busy day for the markets. Investors are still reacting to what appears to be a douvish pivot by j Powell. After holding rates steady for a second consecutive meeting, the Fed chairman hinted the central Bank may now be finished with the most aggressive tightening cycle in four decades. Jeffrey Rosenberg is a senior portfolio manager at black Rock. Clearly what the market saw was a preference for the worry of tightening financial conditions. We're at sufficiently restricted, we could be done, black Rocks. Jeff Rosenberg notes, following the Powell news conference, a ten year treasure yield tumbled below four point seventy five percent for the first time in two weeks. Still following this morning now at four point seventy two percent, and Nathan, we also get a policy decision overseas this morning. Economists expect the Bank of England to hold rates for a second consecutive meeting. Turning two earnings, shares of Shell are higher by two percent. Third quarter profit rows on a combination of higher energy prices, strong gas trading, and wider refining margins. The oil Jeff is also accelerating the pace of share buybacks well. Staying in Europe, Nathan. Barclay's is embarking on a plan to reduce its global workforce, but the British bank is planning to spare its Asia business from the bulk of job cuts. We spoke earlier with Barclay's CEO cs vn Kada Krishnan. In Asia, we of course have very booming economies and we also have a very growing business, so proportionately it's far less likely to impact this region. However, Barclay's CEO cs Van Kate Krishnan added that it would be ambitious for the bank to consider expanding into Wealth and China, and should instead focus on doing better in the UK. Let's turn back here to the US, Karen, because investors here are awaiting earnings from the world's most valuable company, Apple. It reports this afternoon, and we get a preview from Bloomberg's Tom Busby. Apple's iPhone fifteen lineup released on September twenty seconds, just about a week before the quarter rented, but the company will give investors early sales data on the new fifteens, hoping the show that it's off to a rate start ahead of the all important holiday season. Bloomberg consensus calls for Ernix per share of a dollar thirty nine revenues of eighty nine point three four billion, about half of that from smartphones. Tom Busby, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Tom, thanks well. Disney reports earnings next week, but it is making news this morning. The company is moving to take full control of the Hulu streaming service. Begin more from Bloomberg Stunt Risner. Complete ownership helps integrate Hulu into the Disney Plus streaming service, and now co owners Disney and Comcast must arrive at a price. Under a twenty nineteen deal, the two agreed Hulu would be worth no less than twenty seven and a half billion dollars. Where might the money come from. Disney could sell legacy assets like ABC and CEO Bob Iger is open to selling a minority stake in ESPN. In New York Time. Doug Prisoner, Bloomberg Radio, Nathan, Thanks. It is 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 Moore. Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Republican senators angrily challenged Senator Tommy Tubberville on his blockade of almost four hundred military officers taking over the Senate floor for more than four hours to call for individual confirmation votes after a month's long stalemate. Republican Dan Sullivan of Alaska warned of dire quants consequence by the way Shujinping is watching us right now, going, I can't believe they're not letting these guys command. I'm scared the death of subs. Senator Sullivan says if the standoff continues in officers do leave the military, Tuberville's BLOCKABE will be remembered as quote non national security suicide mission. The House could vote today on a bill providing aid to Israel. It's the first legislation under the new House Speaker Mike Johnson. But Johnson's bill would not only uncouple the aid to Ukraine that the Biden administrator wanted, but also would redirect funding already earmarked for the IRS. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin says, that's a state. There's no human being. No business can amass the amount of debt that we have and be successful. You just can't do it. So we have to get our dead under So anything we do should be concerned about the debt. But right now we're fighting to survive, and Republican Lindsey Graham says without funding for Ukraine, the bill just won't make it through the Senate. Hama says almost six hundred more foreigners and dual nationals, including four hundred American citizens, are expected to leave Gaza today. That would be the second batch to exit since the border with Egypt was opened yesterday. We get more with Bloomberg. To Oliver Crook in Tel Aviv, we had two categories of people that were allowed to leave Gaza and go into Egypt. The first wee the wounded Egyptian ambulances carrying some Palestinians out who had been hurt during the fighting and during the bombardments. They're being treated in a field hospital in the northern Sini. But the second are the foreigners that are now being permitted to cross over. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook tells us there are about one thousand US citizens in Gaza, and four hundred of them be permitted to leave. Today.

The Texas Rangers are World Series champions for the first time, and they did it by doing something that may never be done again. They won eleven to zero on the road in the postseason. They just won their third straight game at Arizona. It was five to nothing even though the Rangers didn't get a hit until the seventh inning off Zach Gallen. They score running the seventh and then got four more than ninth. Nathan Evaldi worked out of trouble. The Diamondbacks had runners in scoring position in each of the first five innings, but if Aldi finished the postseason going five and zero. Corey Seeger was the MVP, as he was when the Dodgers won the World Series three years ago. A couple of things about Bob Knight's life undeniable. Massively successful as a college basketball coach at Army Indiana and Texas Tech. He won over nine hundred games, three national championships. His team in nineteen seventy six, still the last to go undefeated. Also undeniable, the demons that led Knight to throw a chair during a game choked the player in a practice, he grabbed the arm of a student who called him by his last name. That led to his departure at Indiana. Bob Knight passed away at the age of eighty three. The Celtics are undefeated. They scored one hundred and fifty five points, the most in a game since nineteen fifty nine. They beat the Pacers in Boston by fifty. The Wizards lost in Atlanta one thirty to one twenty one. The Warriors on a Klay Thompson shot.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. As the Israel Humas war continues, President Biden is calling for a pause in fighting. That's so more people can be allowed to be released from the Gaza Strip to be moved out of harm's way. This is as Israel faces some wavering support for its ongoing ground effort from parts of the global South. And for more on all this, we're joined by Roslind Mathis and Bloomberg's news director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Roz, Good morning. Can you get us updated first off on how the effort to get more people out of harm's way is going well? As you say, it looks like they might get another six hundred or so people out today. That was after they are about eighty people who could leave across that crossing called the Rougher crossing between Gaza and Egypt yesterday. But these are mostly either people who are elderly and wounded in need of urgent medical care, but also those who are holding a foreign passport, so they've got passports from Australia, Asia, the US and elsewhere. And it's a really small number of people In the end, when you think about the number of people who are currently bunched up inside Gaza, many of them have moved further south towards that crossing, but they don't have any means to leave at the moment. This is really just those people who have foreign nationals or in need of very very urgent medical care. And what we know is that the attacks inside Gaza are continuing. The Israeli forces are pushing further towards Gaza City, which is the very very high density area, and that's going to lend itself towards staor to door combat. In the end, we know the aerial strikes are continuing. After those attacks on the refugee camp in recent days. Israel says it was striking Hamas there because they say that Hamas is using those refugee camps as strongholds. But it looks like Israel is moving towards an approach of effectively severing Gaza into so separating North Gaza from the south. That's going to push people even further towards the south and bunched up towards the Rougher crossing. But it's really only just a handful of people so far getting out, and I guess it would make it that much harder to tell whether the people that are being allowed to leave Gaza at this point are some of the hostages that Israel says Hamas is still holding a number of hostages that seems to be steadily rising day by day. Well, that's right, and just reflects the overall confusion. Really in a wartime, it's very difficult to get clear information. And what we know is that bit by bed it seems that they are, in fact even more hostages than were initially known about, are scattered in different areas of the Gaza strip, and the negotiations are continuing via intermediaries. Katar and others are involved in that, but it doesn't seem like they're making major progress towards the whole release of the rest of those hostages. Again, it's very much a trickle, if any. And so what you've got is that situation of only a few people coming out of Gaza, limited aid going in, and a real clear sense, especially from Egypt on that border crossing, they don't want hundreds of thousands of people coming their way. Yeah, it sounds like a trickle both ways of people moving out and AID moving in. And as this effort continues, we are starting to see a little bit more erosion for support for Israel, particularly from Jordan and some left just leaders in Latin America. What does that tell us about how support for Israel could continue as this effort goes on. Well, as you say, we're seeing greater noises from countries and what…
Full show notes at the publisherOn today's podcast: 1) An Israeli strike on a refugee camp in Gaza overnight killed and wounded hundreds of people, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory, and drew condemnation from across the Middle East. The development came ahead of a regional trip by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. 2) The Federal Reserve is poised to hold interest rates steady at a 22-year high for a second meeting, while leaving open the possibility of another hike as soon as December with economic growth staying resilient. 3) AMD said a new AI chip will generate $2 billion in sales next year, fueling optimism that demand for the component will offset a slump in orders for video-game equipment. Full Transcript:Good morning. I maybe Morris and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with new developments in the Middle East. Israel struck a refugee camp in Gaza overnight. Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Huguri says it was targeting Hamas and killed a senior leader in that organization. So tonight we eliminated the murderous terrorist, Ibrahim Bari. Bari is the main combat leader in the northern Gaza strip since the IDF forces entered Gaza. He also had a part in the massacre on October seventh. During his assassination, many terrorists were killed, terrorists who stayed with him in the building and in the underground area below the buildings. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hugari, speaking through an interpreter, the latest strike is drawing condemnation across the Middle East. We get more from Bloomberg's Oliver Crook and Tel Aviv. What this does is it's going to bring into the four again those voices that have been calling for a ceasefire, the voices that have been condemning Israel's actions and the ceasefire calls by the Saudis and by the UN have been retorted to by Benjamin Nyaw, who has recently this weekend completely off the table. Bloomberg's Oliver Krok reports the Health Ministry and the Hamas run gaza strips, as hundreds were killed and wounded in those strikes well amy before the overnight strike, Secretary of State Antony Blincn told the Senate it was too soon to call for a ceasefire. When it comes to a ceasefire in this moment, You're exactly right. That would simply consolidate what Hamas has been able to do and allow it to remain where it is and potentially repeat what it did another day, and that's not tolerable. Secretary of State Antony Blinkin will travel back to Israel on Friday. The White House says President Biden would veto a package put forward by House GOP members to provide aid to Israel by slashing funds for the IRS and leave out funding for other national security priorities. The legislation, championed by the new House Speaker Mike Johnson, is already run into stiff bi partisan opposition Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. We must stand with our allies in Israel. We must send humanitarian aid to innocent civilians in Gaza. We must hold the line against Vladimir Putin by supporting Ukraine. Senator Schumer says Democrats want to pass President Biden's one hundred and five billion dollars supplemental package, which includes funding for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the Southern border well. Another geopolitical news this morning, President Biden will meet with Chinese leader Shijin Pain later this month in San Francisco, and Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the latest. White House spokeswomen Karine Jean Pierre, was asked several times at the daily White House briefing. She finally said it was an official confirmation and says it will be a difficult conversation. That's what the President is going is going to be doing and having a tough conversation, but important conversation. Jean Pierre would not go into details on expectations it will be on the sidelines of APE here in San Francisco. China has not commented on the meeting in San Francisco. I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

It begins with the Treasury Department's new borrowing plan and finishes with a FED decision and a J. Powell news conference. We get a preview from Bloomberg's Michael McKee. It figures to be a long day on trading desks. First up, the Treasury announces its refunding plans for the quarter. It plans to borrow a record seven hundred and seventy six billion dollars between now and the end of the year. Today we find out the mix of bills, bonds, and notes and how much of each it will sell. The record borrowing may spark a lot of market volatility. Refunding is followed by the Fed. While no one expects a rate move, investors will be focused on the possibility of one at future meetings. Will Chairman J. Powell take that off the table another opportunity for market moves? Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio. Thank you Michael, and stick with Bloomberg this afternoon for our FED Decide special starting at one thirty pm Wall Street Time on both Bloomberg Radio and television.

We must say that it was a tough run for SBF under questioning from federal prosecutors who really grilled him on the witness stand and got him to admit on some of the most important allegations in this case, including the fact that there was no proper hedging in the two companies that he was managing, including the fact that he was the one who signed off on a lot of their decisions, and also the fact that he was the one who made the decision to spend billions of dollars in investments through the hedge fund Alameda Research.

The state is a microcosm for the issues currently bideviling his presidency. Let's get more from Bloomberg Jeff Bellinger, Mister Biden is struggling to unite a Democratic electorates trained by his full throated support for Israel. At the same time, he is suddenly fending off a long shot primary challenge from Dean Phillips of Minnesota that highlights voters' concerns about his age. It's a blue state that Republicans have long considered ripe for flipping. Minnesota has a young, diverse Democratic base and a large number of Muslim Americans. The trip is intended to highlight the Biden administration's investments in rural communities. Jeff Bullinger, Bloomberg Radio. The MBI says is closely monitoring serious and evolving threats against the US as the Israel Hamas war grinds on. At the EI director Christopher Ray, the reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout twenty twenty three, but the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole nother level. During a meeting of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, Rate said the most immediate concern is that violent extremists will draw inspiration for the events in the Mid East to carry out attacks against the US. A junior at Cornell University has been charged with making death threats online to Jewish students in an incident that Royal to campus battling anti semitism.

Good morning, I'm Amy Morris. After a barrage of air strikes by Israel in Gaza. Israeli forces say they've assassinated the architect of the October seventh terror attack, and Palestinians say hundreds of civilians were killed or injured in those strikes. We're joined now by Bloomberg's Gale to Alstein and Tel Aviv. This latest airstrike has drawn condemnation across the Middle East. Does this create a greater risk of the expansion of this war through the region? Yes, some good morning, so yes, we are seeing that there's quite a big operation going on in the Jabalo or refugee camp. This is, by the way, both an Areel attack and the ground attack that is being carried out by Israel. This is the most crowded refugee camp in the world. It occupies one hundred and thousand people and roughly one and a half square kilometers the Ideas. The Israeli defense forces say they killed fifty Hamas militants there. Hamas Sam and the health ministry in Gaza that is run by Hamas reporting a larger number of casualties over there. Basically, the Israeli Defense Forces say that this the military stronghold that is located in western Jebala was located there was used by the commander of Hamasas Jabelia Battalion for the training and the execution of terror activities and contained firing positions and terror tunnels and also a large stock of weapons. So that's what we know about what happened there. And another bit of news that we're getting now that the Alka Sama Brigades they belong to Hamas, they announced the killing of seven of its civilian detainees, meaning the hostages. They say that they were killed also in Jabalia yesterday, including three holders of foreign passports. This has not been verified otherwise, but this is what they are saying now on Palestine TV. So that's what we know that is going on on the ground. Now. We have not seen any you know, further response other than the rhetoric that you've mentioned, but of course this is something I'm to still follow. You mentioned the hostages and how they are reporting in Palestine that they are killing the hostages. What's the latest on the negotiations to freedom? So yesterday we heard the head of Israel's National Security Council TEGB and he said that as far as Israel can say and report, at this time, there is no hostage negotiation. There's no deal that is in the near horizon at least that's what That's what he said. He he also mentioned that Kata and that's according to him, has has realized that Hamas was misleading them quote unquote. So according at least to Israeli officials, you know that that we're only went on the record yesterday. There is no deal in sight at this time. There are also the developments on the border crossing from Gaza into Egypt. We are learning now that foreigners and some wounded Palestinians are being allowed to leave Gaza for the first time since the Israel began the ground invasion. What are you watching for? What should we be watching for on that? Yeah, so this is an interesting development that is happening this morning. We're seeing foreign passport holders begin to exit Gaza into Egypt through the Lafa crossing. This is, like you mentioned, for the first time I think actually since Israel began its aerial attacks on Gaza or in October. And this is according to footage that is being shown and streamed on several media outlets. HAMASA did say earlier that it expects some foreigners and dual nationals to be allowed into Egypt, including Red crossworkers and nationals from Australia, Austria, Jordan, and Indonesia. And we've also been getting reports that eighty wounded Palestinians will be transferred for treatment in Egypt. And it's interesting because we have been hearing Israeli officials ask that more wounded Palestinians be taken to hospitals outside of the Gaza Strip in Egypt. Also field hospital that is planned to be set up near the border, as well as maybe some floating hospitals that will be coming into the area from countries like France and maybe others. And this is basically meant to take pressure off Israel to let fuel into Gaza, since Israel claims that Hamas has fuel and that the fuel it has facilitated not only hospitals but also underground commands and tun…

Israel struck more targets in Lebanon and Syria overnight, while stepping up its ground operations in Gaza. 2) GOP House members are breaking with President Biden on a $14 Billion Israeli aid plan. The package separates the Israel aid from a broader Biden emergency funding request that includes assistance for Ukraine and Taiwan.

FULL TRANSCRIPT: Good morning. I maybe Morris and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the latest on the war in the Middle East. Israel has struck targets in Lebanon, stepping up its ground operations in Gaza. This latest military action comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rules out a cease fire and dismissed calls for him to resign over security failures that led to the October seventh Thamas attack. The only thing that I intend to have resign is Kamas. We're going to resign them to the dust benef history. That's my goal, that's my responsibility, and that's what I'm leading the country to do. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says more than fourteen hundred Israelis were killed in that attack, the largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust. Well Amy Netanyah, who made his evening address in English Bloomberg's Oliver Crook is in Tel Aviv and has more on Netanyahu's message to the international community. The point that he was making was one that we've heard many times for the Prime Minister, a question of moral clarity in making the distinction between the deliberate murder of innocent and the unintentional casualties that accompany any war is what he says. And of course those casualties have exceeded now, according to the Gazen authorities, more than eight thousand people. And that is the big question internationally, where is the limit to self defense? On the question of ceasefires, he says, you wouldn't have asked for a ceasefire after Pearl Harbor or nine to eleven. That a ceasefire is a call for surrender for Israel is what he said. And regardless of who stands with Israel, he says, he's going to continue on this battle. And bloombergs Oliver Kuik, reporting from Tel Aviv, says authorities in Hamas run Gaza say the death toll since the war erupted has surpassed eighty three hundred and back here at Home, Defense Secretary Lloyd to Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blincoln will make the case that the United States should immediately send aid to both Israel and Ukraine. They'll testify at a Senate hearing. As House Republicans are taking their own path on aid to Israel. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has that story. The Republicans introducing a fourteen point three billion dollar aid plan. The package separate it's Israel aid from a broader Biden emergency funding request that include Ukraine and Taiwan aid. We'll have to see what the Speaker will do now. It pays for the Israel Aid by cutting the Biden Inflation Reduction Act calling for a fourteen point three billion dollar reduction in funding for the IRS. This complicates the process to get anything done on this, as Democrats in the Senate and the President himself feel very strongly about that funding. Ad Baxter, Bloomberg Radio. All right, and thank you well. Turning to the markets now, the yen is falling the most in two months after the Bank of Japan made only minor changes to its policy settings, and that's disappointing some in the market who had expected more. The central Bank kept its camp on long term yields at one percent and left its negative interest rate untouched. Staying in Asia, China's factory activity fell back into contraction in October. Bloomberg Daybreak Asia anchor Brian Curtis has more from Hong Kong. The official PMI fill to forty nine point five in October, the estimate at fifty point two. In addition, an expansion of the services sector unexpectedly eased. The reading suggests the economy remains fragile and needs further support. The non manufacturing gauge declined to fifty point six from fifty one point seven in September, also lower than forecast. The numbers are skewed due to an eight day holiday at the beginning of the month, but let's not quibble. Demand remains weak. In On Kong, Brian Curtis, Bloomberg Radio, All right, Brian, thank you well. In corporate news, Apple has unveiled new iMac and laptop of models and the third generation of its in house processor line. The tech giant says the new chip will make its MacBooks more powerful and retain their battery life. Begain more from Bloomberg's executive Global Technology editor Tom Giles in San Francisco. What they're trying to show is that the new line of chips that they've just unveiled, the M three, is a kind of chips that's faster, more powerful, and at the same time more energy efficient. So what they're trying to do is they're using this new chip to breathe life into their their Mac product line, and Bloomberry's Tom Giles says Mac sales or forecast to climb about five percent in the holiday quarter, and staying on the tech theme, X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, is worth less than half of what Elon Musk paid for a year ago.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Amy Morris. Israel struck targets in Lebanon and stepped up its ground operations in Gaza. The latest military action comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who rules out a ceasefire. We're joined now by Bloomberg's Ross Matheson in London Rods. There was a defiant presser from Benjamin Nettnjah who despite those calls for a ceasefire. What was the main message, Well, it seemed to be a twofold message from Benjamin naw who in that press conference yesterday. The first one, as you say, was to make clear that he's not interested in a ceasefire right now with Hamas. He just said the stakes are too high for Israel and the imperative to strike back is too large. But it was also about him sort of resetting the narrative a bit potentially about his own leadership in this minute, as you were noting, he's been under pressure since the October seventh attack by Hamas. But the failure of Israel's intelligence services security services to see this coming, or certainly at least to ward it off from coming. And he has blamed others for that and was forced to apologize and retract a tweet that he did on it. And he was out there yesterday saying I'm here, I'm leading, I'm still in charge. In fact, he said I had to cool an end to the press conference so he could go off and, as he said, lead in this minute very much about sending a message that he's nowhere near resigning. In fact, he was asked in the press conference if he would resign. The answer was a resounding no. He was not going to resign. So it's about also his own personal leadership, and this minute is his popularity diminishing, however it is, and it seems to be there's sort of popular opinion on that. You can certainly see the tide on social media and some of the local media, also the opposition, but also more importantly senior figures in his so called unity government. Of course, he brought in other parties, other political figures in that moment, including Benny Gantz. He's been a key figure previously, and he's been quite critical of Nahu publicly overall of this, So it's not just sort of the public spirits. Also we're hearing senior figures in the security establishment, in the military, and in BB's own current Unity government, who are quite upset about some of the comments that he's made. Whether that leads to anything in the short term is unlikely. Right now, Israel is more focused on the war in Gaza, the war against Hamas, But in the longer term it is raising those further questions about his longevity as political leader. How much is this conflict spilling into other parts of the Middle East. What are more signs that you're seeing. Well, we're not saying that broad obviously, that the broad worry is that it becomes a Middle East wide conflict, but we are seeing seepitch in a way into other areas. So we're seeing Israel heating targets in Lebanon and Syria overnight. We're seeing Lebanon warning a short time ago that things could be escalating. Of course, Lebanon itself doesn't have a lot of control over Hesbella, that's the Iranian Bat militia that's operating there. It doesn't really have the ability to rain hesbelar In, but certainly Lebanon is worried about it and the knock on effect on its own country and the fact that things also seem to be spilling into Syria, where you've got a lot of Arani back malicious operating also does suggest that those concerns are real about the conflict escalating. And we know they've being attacked to and fro involving militia in Syria. They're also striking US soldiers at bases in places like Syria and Iraq. So you're seeing that escalation in activity involving Syria and Lebanon, at least those groups that are operating there. Thankfully now for n…
Full show notes at the publisherYour morning briefing. The news you need in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) Israel’s military widened its ground offensive in Gaza, saying it killed dozens of Hamas militants overnight and describing the invasion as advancing gradually and to plan. 2) Employers in the US probably tempered their pace of hiring this month after beefing up payrolls by the most since the start of the year, consistent with a sturdy labor market that’s powering economic expansion. 3) A federal judge in Washington has denied Donald Trump’s request to keep on hold a partial gag order barring him from publicly criticizing prosecutors, potential witnesses, and court staff involved in the federal election prosecution against him. 4) Matthew Perry, a comedian and actor who starred in “Friends” and “The Whole Nine Yards,” has died. He was 54. 5) Cowboys win, 49ers lose, Kirk Cousins tears Achilles FULL TRANSCRIPT:Good morning. I'm Amy Morris and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. First, let's bring you the latest developments on the war in the Middle East. Israel has widened its ground offensive in Gaza, pressing ahead with what it has called the second phase of its war against a moss We get the latest now from Bloomberg to Oliver Crook in Tel Aviv over the weekend. We had sort of that step up in terms of ground activity within Gaza in the fourth week of this conflict, and now a new chapter in it, it seems like, and that's really how he was described by the Prime Minister. Remember, there had been sort of puncture poles and sort of slight incursions in the lead up to this, but this was really the biggest step up in terms of ground troops and tanks going into Gaza, but still falls short critically of the full scale invasion that many people had envisioned and how this battle was going to go. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook in Tel Aviv reports Israel has struck more than six hundred militant targets in Gaza in recent days. Well, Amy, the military escalation comes as Israel's Prime minister criticism over his unwillingness to accept any responsibility for the October seventh attack. Benjamin Netanyahu caused controversy with a social media post where he pointed the finger at intelligence chiefs for the security lapse. He later deleted the post and apologized. Net Yahoo, speaking through an interpreter, addressed the nation our hero troops. They have one supreme main goal to completely defeat the murderous enemy and to guarantee our existence in this country. We've always said never again, Never again is now. And those comments come as Netanyahu spoke by phone with President Biden to discuss developments in Gaza. A Russian airport and a majority Muslim region has been temporarily shut down after a mob forced its way onto the tarmac where, according to reports, a plane from Israel had landed. It took hours to restore order. The Russian air Transport Agency says the airport will reopen tomorrow, after initially saying the regional hub may be closed for a week. Well amy back here in the US, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he expects the Republican led chamber to pass an Israel aid bill this week and he spoke to Fox News. We passed the resolution, as you noted, in strong support of our strong ally and great friend Israel. We had to do that. And then I flew last night to Las Vegas and spoke to the Republican Jewish Coalition, as you noted, to send a further signal that this isn't a priority for our country and we cannot allow the brutality and the just unspeakable evil that is happening against Israel right now to continue. We're going to stand with our friends, and Speaker Johnson added that he believes an Israel only bill will also receive bipartisan support in the Senate. And let's get you up to date on a couple of high profile court cases. First, Donald Trump lost his latest attempt to delay the partial gag order on him in his January sixth trial. Bloomberg's ed Baxter with that story. The partial gag order bars him from publicly criticizing prosecutors potential witnesses in court. Staff US District Judge Tanya Chutkin's ruling will immediately go into effect unless a higher court intervenes. Trump attorneys are expected to ask a federal appeals court to immediately step in the order was paused as a judge allowed further arguments. Prosecutors argue for a tighter gag, as they say a post regarding former chief of staff Mark Meadows, who flipped last week, would have violated the order if it were in effect ed. Baxter Bloomberg Radio all right ed thanks another trial news. FTX co founder Sam Bankman Freed returns to the stand today. He'll likely face a bruising cross examination from prosecutors after his Friday testimony, where he admitted to mistakes but said he didn't commit fraud. The case against Bankman Freed centers on allegedly fraudulent transfers of billions in FTX customer funds to an affiliated hedge fund, Alimeter Research, in which he held at ninety percent interest. Turning to the market's futures are higher as we begin a new trading week, S and P five hundred to enter da technic correction on Friday, with the benchmark closing ten percent below a recent peak. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson says investors hoping for a boost to stocks by the end of the year will be disappointed. Wilson says profit expectations are too high for the fourth quarter and next year. Melami. The direction of the equity market may be determined in part by some key events on the economic calendar. We get a preview from Bloomberg's Michael McKee. House prices and consumer confidence lead the way tomorrow before a big Wednesday ADP, employment, jolt's, job openings, and ism manufacturing. Thursday we get productivity and jobless claims, and Friday brings everyone's favorite indicator, the October jobs report. Normally that might be the big event of the week, but two Wednesday events will overshadow it. The Fed always gets huge attention even though nobody on Wall Street thinks they'll do anything this week, and Treasury's refunding announcement how much they'll borrow of what bonds this quarter. Debts are so high it could be a major market moving event. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio. I thank you, Mike. In Europe, shares of HSBC are down a quarter of a percent profit MYSSED estimates, but the bank did announce a fresh buyback program. We spoke with CEO Noel Quinn very pleased with the three billion dollar buyback that we've announced today. Up to three billion dollars. That takes it to seven billion for the full year. And I'm also pleased that we've announced another ten cents dividends. AHSBC chief executive Noel Quinn suggested there may be more buybacks to come. Well, Lamey, there's more labor problems at one of the big automakers. Workers at Stalantis's Canadian plants went on strike after failing to reach a new contract by a Sunday night deadline. UNI four, which represents Canadian autoworkers. As the strike involves more than eighty two hundred members, it gives the automaker a new labor headache just days after it's settled a long walkout with the United Auto Workers in the US, and again, futures are on the rise. This morning, straight ahead, we have more global headlines, plus a check of sports, and this is Bloomberg. Thank you, Karen. Time now for a look at some of the other stories making news in New York and around the world, and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Bark. Good morning, Michael, Good morning, Amy. More protests were held over the weekend across New York City, over the Middle East, crisis. Yesterday in Queens, a rally was held by the Bangladeshi community in Ozone Park. On Saturday, demonstrators in Manhattan march with Palestinian flags. Hundreds gathered for Brooklyn United for Israel rally demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas. A huge rally was also held inside Grand Central Terminal organized by the group Jewish Voice for Peace. Demonstrations were also held in Newark. An autopsy has been performed on Matthew Perry, but it could be weeks before we know what caused the star's untimely depth. Terry was found over the weekend in his hot tub at his Los Angeles home in New York City. Fans have been showing up in the rain to pay the respects at the sight of the famous Friend's apartment building in the West Village at the corner of Bedford in Grove Streets. Ely Besaides tears were coming. Ivy we were thinking about he was very funny. Matthew Perry was fifty four. A Long Island man was arrested after police say he allegedly pointed a gun at a six year old boy after the child mistakenly went to the wrong house. Michael Wynn was a rained yesterday in charge with menacing and endangering the welfare of a child. Authorities saying that the mother was driving her three kids and her nephew to a house in Manhasset when they apparently dropped off a Halloween goodie bag at the wrong address. Police say Win allegedly opened the door and pointed a gun at the boy's head. Attention is now being turned to missed warning signs in last week's massacre in Lewiston, Maine, that killed eighteen people. Police saying the suspected gunman, Robert Card, was found dead from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound. Cohen, a former DHS official, sold ABC Card fits the profile of a mass shooter. This is an individual who is troubled that he was exhibiting behaviors that were noticed by family members, people he worked with, people in the military, yet he was still able to get a gun, and he was still able to fall through the cracks in the system and commit a mass shooting. Meanwhile, more than a thousand people gathered for a Sunday evening vigil to remember those killed and wounded in Lewiston.

Both teams have a stout defense ended an anemic offense, but no one could have expected twenty four punts a collective four for thirty four on third down of the Giants to have negative nine passing yards. Despite that, the Giants towards the end were said to have a win probability of ninety nine percent. They led by three going for a field goal. Zach Wilson of the Jets had had only one good offensive play all day, but everything changed in the last twenty eight seconds of regulation. The thirty five yarder by the normally reliable Graham Ganot was missed. Wilson suddenly had consecutive twenty nine yard completions. Greg zerline field goal sent the game to overtime, where the Giants and Dorry Jackson was called for a thirty yard pass interference and the Jets kicked again. Stoop clean please continue the kickass up and the tech hooks to the left, but it's gone inside the left pry for Zerlin and the Jets spit it in overtime, and honestly, I'm not sure how it was. Headshake Adespo, New York the calleg Jets one thirteen ten. They've won three to a rother Giants are two and six and may have to play next week with the rookie QB Tommy DeVito.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I MA anymore. As Israel has widened its ground offensive, end guards are pressing ahead with what it is calling the second phase of its war against Hamas we are joined now by Bloomberg's Roz Mathieson and Ras. Israel calls this the second phase. But what does that involve well what we know, it just doesn't involve an expanded operation on the ground inside Gars and more troops, more tanks going in where they continue their aerial bombardmer But what's interesting in this is that it's not the full throated ground war that we perhaps are expecting a week or two ago. We know Israel had masked hundreds of thousands of soldiers near the border with Gars, are an awful lot of equipment in the area, and so far they haven't sent in that kind of number of troops, and they're doing more target operations on the ground. That said, it is an escalation from what we had a few days ago, and the warning from the Israeli officials and the military is that this could take many many weeks, if not months in terms of their operation on the ground. Meanwhile, and all of that, we're seeing even greater evidence that the humanitarian situation for those inside Gaza is deteriorating further. Now, this is not the full scale invasion, as you just explained, and it is more measured, more targeted. So is Israel maybe backing off of the idea of that full scale invasion. Well, it certainly is a more significant operation on the ground than it was. As I said a couple of days ago, they said they struck more than six hundred targets in Gaza in recent days. That includes weapons depots and missile sites and so on. It's talked about saying that it's taken out quite a number of Hamas fighters. It's also conducting raids in the West Bank and clashing with militant fairs. So it's not a small scale military operation, but it's not the level that perhaps we expected. They are still maintaining that their ultimate goal is to decimate Hamas, to make sure that an attack that happened on October seven can never happen again. And let's look at the risk of this expanding. The Biden administration preparing for the possibility of the war expanding across the Middle East. What are some of the signals that we have seen that this is actually starting to bleed over Well, so far, we are seeing around, for example, make those threats it could open up multiple fronts in the region. We're still seeing some attacks coming from outfits proxy outfits for around in places like Syria, we're seeing Hesbela still engage in firefights with Israeli forces from the North, but we haven't seen a real step up in that activity. We're not seeing hes Bala utilize the full force of its machinery. It's got some very highly sophisticated missiles, for example. So we're seeing a lot of threats at the moment that it could still bleed into a broader conflict, and that remains a high concern for all, but so far we're not seeing real evidence that that's starting to happen. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu, as you know, has been facing criticism and a lot of pressure…

I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the stories we're following today. Amy, we begin with breaking developments in the war in the Middle East. The US has now conducted military strikes, and we get more from Bloomberg's Rosalind mathieson the US has struck two targets, they say inside Syria. They say they were aiming at Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard and basically a warning again to some of these proxy groups that are operating in the region potential on behalf of Iran, because what we've seen is an escalation the pattern of attacks or targeting of US military assets in the region. Bloomberg's Rosalind Mathison says Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is characterized in the US strikes as separate and distinct from the Israel Hamas war, and Nathan the strikes come as Iran's born minister warned the US won't be spared if the war between Israel and Hamas spreads. Born Minister Hossain Amir abdo Lahi and delivered the threat in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. We do not welcome to expansion of the war in the region, but are you all If the genocide in Gasse continues, they will not be spared from this fire. The comments by Iran's foreign minister comes as Israel says it sent troops on a limited raid into Gaza for the second straight night. Now amy to the latest on the deadly mass shooting in Maine, an intense search continues for Robert Card, the forty year old Army reservist accused of killing eighteen people inside a bowling alley and bar in the city of Lewiston. The city's mayor, Carl Shalen, is telling people to stay off the streets. This is the time for action, solidarity and support. Please take note the shelter and place order issued by the Lewiston Police Department remains in effect. Please stay at home and be safe. Lewiston Mayor Carl Shalen says much of the focus has been one of cards relatives' homes in the rural town of Boden f Behind. Other agents surrounded the property, ordering anyone in Scientist surrender after several hours, though state police said it was not clear if anyone had been there. The newly anointed Speaker of the House is commenting about the latest deadly shooting. Mike Johnson does not think it's a gun problem the end of the day, it's the problem is the human heart. It's not guns, not the weapons. At the end of the day, we have to protect the right of the citizens to protect themselves and that's the Second Amendment and that's why our party sends show strongly for that. Speaker Johnson made the comments in an interview with Fox's Sean Hennity and said that now is not the time for new gun laws. I Meanwhile, Amy the House passed its first major piece of legislation since Johnson became Speaker, and it flies in the face of President Biden's emphasis on energy efficiency. Bloomberg zed Baxter has the story. It cuts into the Inflation Reduction Act, which incentivized homeowners to switch to more energy efficient appliances, and into money that helps stage craft more stringent building energy codes. The effect of this which strip billions of dollars put aside for consumer rebates. Speaker Mike Johnson in the past has criticized the spending on climate and clean energy measures as green energy slush funds. It's not expected to pass the Senate or get a Biden's signature ad Baxter Bloomberg Radio, Thank you ed Now. An update on the trial of Sam Bankman Freed. The FDx founder, spent almost three hours trying to convince a judge to allow him to testify to a jury about the role lawyers played in the collapse of the crypto exchange. Bloomberg's Bob van Vories is covering the case in Lower Manhattan. He spent the entire afternoon on the spand but he was previewing testimony that he wants to give relating to advice that he got from lawyers. So Judge Kaplan is listened to the testimony.

The company gave investors a lot of what they wanted this earning season, robust sales and profit growth, along with a hint that the cloud division earnings machine is regaining momentum. Matthew Bloxham is a tech analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. They are the leader in cloud, so there's a huge number of corporates who already use them for cloud, and those corporates are all scrambling to get into the genes of AI space, so they're kind of looking to train models and use them in applications. Bloomberg Intelligence, as Matt Bloxham says, cloud unit sales increase twelve percent. More than twenty three billion dollars. Shares of Intel also on the move, up nearly eight percent. The chip maker is predicting a return to sales growth in the fourth quarter. Intel says it's being fueled by an improving personal computer market and a more competitive product line. Turning to the economy, Amy Janet Yellen says the surgeon treasury yields is tied to the strength of the economy rather than the widening fiscal deficit. We spoke with the Treasury Secretary in Washington. We're seeing yields go up in most advanced countries. Part of the increase in yields, I think is simply a reflection of the strength of the economy the notion that interest rates will be higher for longer. Secretary Yellen says the trends that had produced low levels for yields before the pandemic are still there.

Next, we're gonna check in with Bloomberg's Israel Bureau chief Ethan Brunner in Tel Aviv, from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias XAM, the Bloomberg Business app in Bloomberg dot com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. The world is watching for the next phase in the Israel Hamas War. Israel has carried out ground rates in Gaza for a second straight night, and now the US is targeting are striking targets in Syria that it says have been used by Iran and its proxy groups for the latest We are joined by Bloomberg's Israel Bureau chief Ethan Bronner in Tel Aviv. Ethan, good morning. What more can we say now about this latest military activity, not just by Israel but now apparently the United States. Yes, well, I mean, what we can say is that these are a small piece of evidence of the risk of a spreading conflict, of the fact that Iranian proxies around the region, not just Hamas in Gaza, are at work, and that a combined force of Israel in the United States seeking to sort of keep them in their place, as it were, as opposed to letting it get truly out of hand. The Americans have absolutely heightened their military profile in the region. The Eisenhower is on the way to the Eastern metag should be here by Monday. There's a whole bunch of Patriot missiles, a whole bunch of troops as well, and Israel is trying to decide what it's going to do in Gaza. I think it's become an increasingly anguished decision because of those two hundred plus hostages, because of the concern that victory is hard to define, and because even though people are humiliated and furious about what happened in October seventh, the question of how many casualties Israel truly wants to take in this far from clear. And to that point, Ethan there has to be some thinking on the Israeli part about how to continue to keep Allied support given how fierce the response has been on the Israeli side following that October seventh attack by Hamas. Look, I think that's true, I mean absolutely. I wrote a story a couple of days ago about the sense that Israel has that it is increasingly alone in its view of the legitimacy of what it's doing. It's not alone alone, and that the United States has been a standing shoulder or shoulder with it. The Europeans have come through and have said, we feel your pain, we understand, we agree AMAS is a terrible organization needs to be dismantled. But what does that really mean? And at what cost? And what about these seven thousand dead people in Gaza? And I think even the United States feels a way, and even people in Israel to some extent are beginning to ask what does it mean to do? What is the right thing to do? And I don't think they've figured it out. There is a sense here that unless AMAS is ultimately dismantled, that that life here will not be tolerable, that people will not stay, people not live along the border, and that is not something that's acceptable. But what does it mean on what time and what time frame Israel needs to do this, I think is the key. In addition to the concern that Hisbella and other Iranian back groups could enter the frame and at the same time, Ethan, we've heard from Israel that the strikes that have been carried out have continued to take out HUMAS leadership. I think one of the latest reports was that a deputy director of HUMAS has been killed in one of the latest strikes. Is there a sense that taking out the leadership is achieving some of the objectiv…
