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.

Emergency crews resuming searching for nine missing workers after a tank imploded at a paper mill in Washington state.

Crews will have to first stabilize the tank, which could potentially collapse further.
Authorities, though, say there is no threat to the local community. U.S. mortgage rates increasing last week to the highest since August. The contract rate on a 30-year mortgage rose nine basis points to 6.65% in the week ended May 22nd. That's according to Mortgage Bankers Association data.

Business executives in Switzerland are becoming alarmed as the country will vote on June 14th on a plan to cap its population at 10 million people, which would require a massive reduction in immigration. The population of Switzerland is already at over 9.1 million people. Companies are worried they will lose out on international talent that they have long relied on.
Annual migration would have to drop by at least half to avoid reaching the ceiling by 2050. We check markets all day long here at Bloomberg. The Dow is up three-tenths of a percent.
