1

00:00:00,940 --> 00:00:05,220

News when you want it with 

Bloomberg News Now.

I'm Karen Moskow.

2

00:00:05,340 --> 00:00:16,860

We begin with the latest on the war in

Iran.President Trump is reverting to

pressuring Iran economically as the

two sides remain in a stalemate.

A White House official says the strategy

has left Iran completely broke.

3

00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:24,160

Bloomberg's Zabir Abu Omar

reports that the shift comes

as Iran looks to reorganize

its military to be more aggressive abroad.

4

00:00:24,161 --> 00:00:36,020

President Trump saying that he is now

resorting to having economic pressure

have its way and let Iran succumb to

the economic pressure that it's been

exposed to over the past six months or so.

5

00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:46,900

And then Iran has promoted, or

the government, Mustafa Khamenei,

the new supreme leader, has

promoted those hardliners into

the echelons of power over the weekend.

6

00:00:46,901 --> 00:01:02,220

Now, what this could mean for the

wider negotiations, unclarity around

just what exactly they would want.

But then one starts to think that Iran is

probably preparing itself for a situation

where this could get much, much worse.

7

00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:10,640

Bloomberg's Zabir Abu Omar reports

that the Trump administration is

relying on a steady increase in

sanctions and a naval blockade to

stifle Iran's oil exports.

8

00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:24,240

Still, oil prices are falling this morning,

with Brent coming off a six-day advance.

Checking prices right now, Brent is down

1.8% at $87.38 a barrel.

NYMEX crude oil is down 2% at $81.59.

9

00:01:24,940 --> 00:01:32,640

There is a new warning from the

intelligence community about a

potential escalation in Russia's shadow

war against NATO countries in Europe.

10

00:01:32,764 --> 00:01:40,640

It's being seen as another step in

Moscow's campaign to intimidate

countries that are supporting Ukraine.

Bloomberg's UNPOTS reports.

11

00:01:40,641 --> 00:01:50,620

Russian intelligence and security

services are said to be considering

operations including infrastructure

sabotage or false flag attacks on

countries in Central and Eastern Europe.

12

00:01:50,900 --> 00:02:00,840

That's the warning from a

European intelligence official

who's spoken to Bloomberg.

But officials say there are no

signs Moscow is preparing a

conventional attack or invasion.

13

00:02:00,841 --> 00:02:10,639

They say Russia could instead be

trying to sow fear by making Europe

believe an escalation is coming.

In London, I'm Ewan Potts, Bloomberg

Radio.Ewan, thank you.

14

00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:21,380

Back in Washington, White House

Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt

will leave her role later this month.

President Trump made that

announcement in a social media

post saying Leavitt was leaving

in order to spend time with her family.

15

00:02:21,381 --> 00:02:26,600

She recently gave birth to her second

child.

The president did not immediately name a

successor to Leavitt.

16

00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:37,140

Now we want to bring you the latest on

Monday's deadly earthquake in Colombia.

The death toll has risen to 265 with

nearly 3,500 injured and 500 missing.

17

00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:47,260

Colombia's president has moved

to declare an economic emergency

to confront the fallout.

The 7.4 magnitude quake was the strongest

to strike Colombia in 47 years.

18

00:02:47,261 --> 00:02:53,580

Large parts of Western Europe

are sweltering as Britain and

France experience their fifth

heat wave of the summer.

19

00:02:54,020 --> 00:03:04,700

Forecasters predict temperatures could

reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit in central

and southeast England, possibly marking

the hottest day of the year.

France may see temperatures as high as 104

degrees Fahrenheit.

20

00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:18,140

United Health Group board members

ignored a raft of governance and

oversight risks for years before

catastrophic failures triggered

billions in losses for investors.

This is according to allegations in a

shareholder lawsuit.

21

00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:26,192

An amended complaint filed earlier

this month in Minnesota federal

court reveals new information from

former insiders about how

22

00:03:26,204 --> 00:03:33,820

UnitedHealth handled cybersecurity

after an acquisition of a company

that would later suffer the largest U.S.

health care data breach on record.

23

00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:39,660

U.S.government borrowing costs at auction

have climbed to their highest level

since the global financial crisis.

24

00:03:39,661 --> 00:03:53,140

A sale of benchmark 10-year treasuries

produced the highest yield since 2007,

though demand held up reasonably well.

Attention now turns to today's 30-year

auction, which is expected to carry the

highest financing rate in 25 years.

25

00:03:53,520 --> 00:04:04,580

The AI trades regaining momentum this

morning.South Korea's Cosby Index rallied

4% to enter a technical bull market.

Chipmakers Samsung and SK Hynix

both added more than 4%.

26

00:04:04,581 --> 00:04:18,740

There does remain a lingering caution,

though, following poor earnings from Cisco

and a sales decline from Cerebris Systems.

Sources tell Bloomberg Anthropic is in

talks to buy the artificial intelligence

startup Deckard AI for about $6 billion.

27

00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:28,980

The Wall Street Journal is reporting

that Apple is discussing new deals with

publishers to use their content to

deliver current news and information

for its AI-powered Siri voice assistant.

28

00:04:28,981 --> 00:04:39,700

The proposed deals would provide Apple

with access to content to help power

Siri AI with a variable compensation

plan and payments made to the partner's

publishers when their content is used.

29

00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:45,740

The report comes amid Apple's efforts

to improve Siri, which has been

criticized for its lack of utility.

30

00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:56,560

And treasuries are advancing stocks

trading near record highs as oil

prices fall and traders await U.S.

producer price data for further

clues on the path of the

Federal Reserve interest rates.

31

00:04:56,561 --> 00:05:05,780

S &P futures up to tenths of a percent.

Dow futures up to tenths of a percent.

NASDAQ futures little changed.

Ten-year Treasury yield at 4.67%.

32

00:05:05,781 --> 00:05:12,780

That's news when you want it with

Bloomberg News Now.

I'm Karen Moscow and this is Bloomberg.
