Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.

We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.

21.698 - 27.166 Stephen Carroll

From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.

27.206 - 32.633 Caroline Hepker

And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.

33.154 - 37.48 Stephen Carroll

We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.

37.941 - 42.587 Caroline Hepker

So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.

43.028 - 45.03 Stephen Carroll

It's smart, calm and to the point.

Chapter 2: What is the tentative US-Iran deal about?

395.901 - 408.223 Keir Starmer

That's where the debate should be. But actually, no, I don't agree that the policy choice of this government weren't the right policy choices, given what we inherited. Very different situation in 2024 to 1997.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer there. Many Labour members see Burnham's by-election race as a precursor to a contest to replace the unpopular leader. Lastly, a 21-year-old Austrian man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for planning a jihadist attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna. Bloomberg's Ewan Potts has more.

432.048 - 449.702 Ewan Potts

The man named only as Beran A, in line with Austrian privacy laws, was arrested after a tip-off from the CIA just before the first of three sold-out Taylor Swift concerts was due to take place in Vienna. He allegedly planned to target people outside the Ernst Happel Stadium with knives or homemade explosives.

449.682 - 463.084 Ewan Potts

Prosecutors say Berenet had become radicalised and had sworn allegiance to jihadist group Islamic State. Almost 200,000 people had tickets to the concerts, which were immediately cancelled. In London, I'm Ewan Potts, Bloomberg Radio.
