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.
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. Karen, the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran appears fragile this morning, even as the U.S. looks ahead to talks this weekend. The White House says Vice President J.D. Vance will lead a delegation to Pakistan on Saturday, along with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Vance says President Trump's terms are clear. The deal is a ceasefire, a negotiation. That's what we give. And what they give is that straits are going to be reopened. If we don't see that happening, the president is not going to abide by our terms if the Iranians are not abiding by their terms. Vice President J.D. Vance spoke to reporters in Hungary. Bloomberg's Patrick Sykes reports the terms of the negotiation are in dispute.
Iran has this 10-point plan that it talks about being the basis for negotiations. It says that the U.S. has accepted that as a basis for talks. The U.S. talks about its own 15-point plan. So it does seem we are still some way apart. even on the very broad contours of what is up for discussion this weekend.
That's Bloomberg's Patrick Sykes reporting from Istanbul. President Trump says the U.S. military will remain around Iran until the quote real agreement is fully complied with. If not, he says in a social media post, the real shooting starts. Iran's ambassador to Pakistan posted on X that a delegation would arrive in Islamabad for this weekend's talks tonight. That post has since been deleted without explanation.
Well, Nathan, Iranian officials say Israel's strikes in Lebanon yesterday violated the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Israel launched its largest assault yesterday on Lebanon since the start of its invasion. We get more from Bloomberg Israeli Bureau Chief Ethan Brawner in Tel Aviv.
everyone has understood that when the u.s says the war has to come to an end in iran israel will agree israel is insisting on more independence in terms of what it does in lebanon and generally the us has allowed it to do that but dance's statement suggests that they've said to the israelis do us a favor here we're in the middle of this negotiation because what what the israelis did yesterday was their biggest single moment operation since the pager thing two years ago A hundred planes dropped on targets simultaneously over a period of one to five minutes, something like that, and killed what they said was hundreds of key Hezbollah operatives.
And Bloomberg Israeli Bureau Chief Ethan Brawner, Lebanon's health ministry, said at least 182 people were killed and hundreds wounded in the operation.
President Trump is lashing out at NATO's stance on the Iran war following a meeting at the White House with the alliance's secretary general, Mark Rutte. Here is Rutte after that meeting with the president.
Let me be absolutely clear, he is clearly disappointed with many NATO allies, and I can see his point. But at the same time, I was also able to point to the fact that the large majority of European nations has been helpful with basing, with logistics, with overflights, with making sure that they lift up to the commitments.
