We're up early every weekday, keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world.

We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.

From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.

And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.

We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.

So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.

It's smart, calm and to the point.

And it fits into your morning.

You can find new episodes of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast by 7am in Dublin or 8am in Brussels, Berlin and Paris.

On Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Republican Congressman Michael McCaul says Iran faces an extraordinary opportunity.

Senator Warner and Congressman McCaul were guests on our new show, Bloomberg, this weekend.

Catch the show Saturdays and Sundays from 7 to 10 a.m.

Eastern across Bloomberg platforms.

Well, Nathan, there are more signs the conflict is spreading across the region.
