Bloomberg Daybreak: Europe Edition

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

(1) The US believes an Iranian attack against Israel has grown even more likely and may come as soon as this week, officials said, as allied leaders sought to head off all-out war and the Pentagon deployed more forces to the region.

(2) Vladimir Putin abruptly interrupted an acting regional governor who said Ukraine's military had taken control of 28 towns and villages in Russia's Kursk border region, prompting a sixth of its population to flee.

(3) Donald Trump and Elon Musk held a warm, but glitch-delayed conversation on X that saw the tech mogul pitch a role for himself should the Republican nominee win a second White House term, but otherwise rehashed the notes that Trump routinely strikes at his campaign rallies.

(4) UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plan to continue handing swift justice to scores more rioters will hinge on a hamstrung UK court system and overworked criminal lawyers.

(5) The UK is reviewing the time it releases key economic statistics amid concerns the current pre-trading publication is helping spur volatility in interest-rate and bond markets.
