Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.
And I'm Caroline Hepke in London. We're the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast.
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.

Chapter 2: What happened in the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes against Iran?
We get more on that from Bloomberg's Dan Williams.
For many Muslims, this attack will be seen as a huge affront, not just because of the targets and the potential killing of the very top of the top of the Iranian echelon, also because it took place during the holy month of Ramadan, which is being marked with fasting and prayer by Muslims across the region.
For Jews, today's the Jewish Sabbath, and it's three days away from the festival of Purim, which historically has marked major turnarounds for the Jewish people.
That's Bloomberg's Dan Williams. The U.S. reportedly used Anthropic's Claude AI tool in its attacks on Iran just hours after the Trump administration announced that the federal government would end its relationship with Anthropic after the company attempted to put limits on the use of its Claude tool, that's according to the Wall Street Journal. U.S.
Central Command is said to have used the tool for target identification as well as intelligence assessments and simulated battle scenarios. That's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Dan Schwartzman and this is Bloomberg.
