News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Erika Herskowitz. Vice President J.D. Vance attending the discussions in Switzerland described the first round of negotiations with Iran as very, very good and said Iran had agreed to allow nuclear inspectors back into the country.
That is a major milestone for the American people and the first step in... permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran.
That statement from Vance was later backed by President Trump, but Iranian officials, who also cite progress, challenged the claim, saying Vance's assertion was false and does not reflect reality. With more on Peace Talks, Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall.
the vice president, saying that essentially the goal of this weekend was to lay the foundation for finalized talks to begin later this week. He said that good progress was made, but added, quote, there is still a lot to do. He said the goal of this weekend was to establish four main things. One, outline this process for the broader talks.
Two, establish what is being called the deconfliction cell, which will extend the ceasefire to Lebanon.

In the UK, Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation today, marking a precipitous fall from favour two years after leading the Labour Party back to power with a landslide majority.
The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question. And I accept that answer with good grace.
Starmer's departure paves the way for Andy Burnham to attempt to take over as successor after the longtime mayor of Manchester won a parliamentary seat last week in order to mount a challenge. Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve chairman, has died due to complications from Parkinson's disease. He was 100 years old.
Greenspan served as Fed chief for 18 years from 1987 to 2006 and was credited with guiding a record U.S. economic expansion But his legacy was later dimmed by the financial crisis that erupted in 2008. Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwaite.
Greenspan was one of the great central bankers on multiple different levels, really. Very, very intelligent. Also kind of very cryptic in terms of the way he often communicated to people. But I think he also had this very long sort of intellectual history. It goes back all the way to the fact that he was involved with Anne Rand and stuff like that.
He went through different kinds of intellectual fashions. And on the whole, he ran the economy pretty well. There will always be people who question how much his loosening set up the kind of financial crisis. But there were other factors at work there as well. It wasn't just him.

They're going to use this inaugural bond sale to pay down and refinance existing debt. But there's a big longer-term view, which is that SpaceX is many, many light years away from positive free cash flow. and they're going into a world where they're going to have to spend incredibly aggressively.
Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow. SpaceX shares are down more than 10%, putting the stock on pace for a third straight loss.
