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 are the implications of Iran's new temporary leadership?
Tens of thousands of passengers have been affected so far. Cryptocurrency traders are keeping a close eye on Bitcoin this morning. The token rose as much as 2.2% to just over $68,000 yesterday after Iran confirmed the death of its supreme leader. It's now trading at about $66,000 this morning. As U.S. and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on PolyMarket were cashing in.
Analytics firm BubbleMaps says six accounts made about a million dollars in profit by betting that the U.S. would strike Iran by February 28th. All of the accounts were reportedly created within the last month and only placed bets on when U.S. strikes could happen, some just hours before explosions started. Blockchain analysts say similar patterns have been associated with insider trading.
And that's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks, and this is Bloomberg.

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. I'd never seen that much evidence in my entire career, and I don't think we'll ever see that much evidence again.
