in CALLIKIEP. Israel will soon halt or slow humanitarian aid
into parts of northern Gaza as it expands its military
offensive against Tomas, an official said this Saturday, a day
after Gaza City was declared a combat zone. The official,
who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not

(00:21):
allowed to speak to the media, told the Associated Press
that Israel will stop air drops over Gaza City in
the coming days and reduce the number of aid trucks
arriving as it prepares to evacuate hundreds of thousands of
people south. The New York Times reports the remainions of
Elon Weiss and Iden shativ were retrieved from Gaza as
the government looks set to expand a military offensive there.

(00:43):
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced on Friday that Elon
Weiss's remains had been recovered, and on Saturday said that
the second person had been identified as Dan Shativi, who
was also killed in the October seventh attack and whose
body was subsequently taken by militants into Gaza. The Prime
Minister of Yemen's who the government was killed in Israeli

(01:04):
strikes on Thursday, along with a number of ministers. The
group's presidency has said this in a statement. Prime Minister
Ahmed Ghalib al Ropwi and members of his cabinet were
targeted Thursday during a routine workshop held by the government.
This according to the statement carried by Huthi run Almasira TV.
The Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday it precisely struck

(01:25):
a Huthi military target in Yemen's capital after UAVs were
launched from Yemen toward Israel. Several other ministries were injured
in the strike and are getting medical treatment. The statement
outed this, noting that the government will continue to provide
its services and carry out its operations. The former speaker
of Ukraine's parliament, Andrey Purubi, has been shot and killed
in Ukraine. Bloomberg's Russian editor Greg Sullivan calls the murder

(01:49):
in broad daylight of a prominent anti Russian politician in
a western city in Ukraine shocking.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
There's a lot of shock in Ukraine. This killing was
definitely brazen and unusual. We heard from President Volodimir Zelenski.
He called it a horrendous murder, so very unexpected. It
sort of came out of nowhere. This official was obviously
he used to be in parliament and he used to

(02:15):
be the speaker of Ukraine's parliament. But more importantly he
was one of the leaders of the Maidam protests. If
you remember those protests, they started in twenty thirteen, carried
on into twenty fourteen and eventually forced the ouster of
the then pro Russian Victor Yenikovich. He was the president
at the time, and shortly thereafter that was of course
when President Putin annexed illegally the Crimean Peninsula and sparked

(02:39):
the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which today has expanded, obviously
into the full scale invasion.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Bloomberg's Greg Sullivan reporting Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's side and
executive order Saturday aimed at banning federal law enforcement officers
from wearing masks or disguises as he tries to head
off a thread from President Trump to expand his crime
crackdown to the city. Tump Is called the democratic run
city a mess and threatened to send in the National Guard,
as he did in Washington, d C. Johnson said his

(03:06):
new order was aimed at protecting the constitutional rights of
Chicago residents, adding that the city would pursue all legal
means to resist a unilateral federal deployment. Treasury Secretary Scott
Bessant warrened that if President Trump's tariffs were ruled to
be illegal, which they were late Friday afternoon, it would
be a diplomatic embarrassment. Bloomberg's Amy Marris supports from Washington.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Trump cabinet officials told a federal appeals court that ruling
the president's global tariffs illegal would seriously harm US foreign policy,
undoing months of negotiations with countries all over the world
and exposing the US to retaliation. The administration filed statements
from cabinet members Besant, Lutnik, and Rubio to request any

(03:48):
ruling against the administration be immediately put on hold until
the Supreme Court issues a final decision. In Washington, Amy
Morris Bloomberg Radio.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
The head of this year's UN Climate's Summit is urching
CEOs to ignore the green backlash on the White House
and step up the fight against global warming. Bloomberg's Nathan
Hager has more from Washington.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Andre Correa Dolago is leading the COP thirty summit in
the Amazonian city of Belem, Brazil this November, he tells Bloomberg.
Recent attacks from the Trump administration on wind and solar
projects show that green policies have been working and now
pose a threat to fossil fuel interests. Correa Dolago published
a letter this week calling on the private sector to
take a step forward, not back, and make the green

(04:31):
transition a quote exponential reality. In Washington, I'm Nathan Hager,
