Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: (1) Apple blamed a surprise decline in China revenue on supply disruptions, predicting it will return to growth in the world’s biggest smartphone arena as the iPhone 17 gains momentum. (2) Amazon’s cloud unit posted the strongest growth rate in almost three years, reassuring investors who were concerned that the largest seller of rented computing power was losing ground to rivals.  (3) Chinese leader Xi Jinping warned against “breaking supply chains,” in his first public remarks after a landmark meeting with US President Donald Trump that secured a one-year truce in the world’s biggest trade fight. (4) King Charles III on Thursday stripped his disgraced brother Prince Andrew of his remaining titles and evicted him from his royal residence after weeks of pressure to act over his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Buckingham Palace said. (5) In more than one way, Rob Jetten, the head of the liberal D66 party who might become the next Dutch prime minister, offers a stark contrast to Geert Wilders, the divisive anti-migrant lawmaker who heads the far-right Freedom Party.  (6) Shares of the world’s top listed beer, wine and spirits makers have shed a combined $830 billion in a little more than four years as the industry grapples with monumental change. Russia’s tactics and hardware in Ukraine, its growing cooperation with China in the Bering Strait, shifts in activity off Norway, and the persistent challenge of the shadow fleet all reinforce his concerns of a looming threat that Denmark and its allies must prepare to confront.
