Stephen Carroll 0:00
Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.
Caroline Hepke 0:05
And I'm Caroline Hepke in London. We're the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast.
Stephen Carroll 0:10
We're up early every weekday, keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world.
Caroline Hepke 0:15
We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.
Stephen Carroll 0:21
From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.
Caroline Hepke 0:27
And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.
Stephen Carroll 0:33
We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.
Caroline Hepke 0:37
So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.
Stephen Carroll 0:43
It's smart, calm and to the point.
Caroline Hepke 0:45
And it fits into your morning.
Stephen Carroll 0:46
You can find new episodes of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast by 7am in Dublin or 8am in Brussels, Berlin and Paris.
Nathan Hager 0:54
On Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Karen, we begin with the latest from the Middle East, where Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire if Hezbollah stops fighting. That has emerged as a key condition for Iran in its nearly two-month truce with the U.S. Israel's U.S. Ambassador Yehiel Leiter says this is an unprecedented agreement.
Unknown 1:23
We've brought the people of Lebanon to the understanding that we're not the enemy. Hezbollah is. And now we're going to work together to to rid the country of this Iranian proxy on Israel's border.
Nathan Hager 1:37
Israeli Ambassador Yahya Leiter spoke after the negotiations in Washington. Bloomberg's Abir Abu Omar has more from Dubai.
Abir Abu Omar 1:44
Hezbollah has not given an answer yet to this. It could very well stop those hostilities, and that could very well, again, answer the last sticking point between Iran and the United States. We reported earlier this week that Iran's sticking point of Lebanon particularly had hindered the progress of negotiations between Israel, the U.S., and Iran.
Nathan Hager 2:09
Bloomberg's Abir Abu Omar reporting from Dubai. Meantime, clashes continued in southern Lebanon overnight. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araqi, says there's been no recent progress in peace deal talks with the U.S. That's according to a report from Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Karen Moscow 2:24
Well, back in Washington, Nathan, President Trump's war effort has taken a political blow. The Republican-led House has approved a resolution to stop the war.
Unknown 2:32
On this vote, the yeas are 215 and the nays are 208. The concurrent resolution is adopted.
Karen Moscow 2:40
Four Republicans joined with every Democrat present to pass the War Powers Resolution. Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen says she hopes this sends a message to the president.
Unknown 2:49
Now the House and Senate have both passed resolutions on the war in Iran with majorities that say the president needs to rethink his policy on Iran and needs to come to Congress.
Karen Moscow 3:03
And New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen appeared on Bloomberg's Balance of Power. This was the fourth time this year that Democrats forced a vote on the war and the first time they got enough support from Republicans to pass it.
Nathan Hager 3:13
Well, Karen, they're still counting the votes in California more than 24 hours after the polls closed in this week's primaries. With 58 percent of precincts reporting, Republican Steve Hilton has the lead in the governor's race with 27.6 percent of the vote. He's followed by Democrat Javier Becerra at 25.6 percent and fellow Democrat Tom Steyer in third with 19.8 percent. The top two finishers do go on to the general election no matter which party they're with.
Karen Moscow 3:41
In Los Angeles, Nathan, where voters also weighed in on Mayer, early results suggested a runoff between Democratic incumbent Karen Bass and reality TV star Spencer Pratt, a registered Republican. California's heavy reliance on mail-in ballots means a final result could be days away. According to the Associated Press, with 63 percent of the votes counted, Bass holds the lead with roughly 35 percent of votes, followed by Pratt with about 30 percent and city council member Nithya Ramana, 22 percent.
