Here's Gina Civetti. This is a Bloomberg Money Minute. Restaurants that rebounded following pandemic shutdowns face new threats heading into early next year as consumer spending pulls back. Foot traffic is slowing and data from black box intelligence shows a key sales metric at casual dining chains slipped in September. What we've seen is more promotional activity so that's starting to ramp up for some of these casual dining chains and full service chains. Bloomberg senior restaurant analyst Michael Halen. They're trying to boost traffic by getting people in the door with some cheap offerings. You know the one that really stood out was the return of the Dollarita at Applebee's. He says a slowdown in fine dining was a real surprise but restaurants face a variety of headwinds including the resumption of student loan payments. Rising credit card balances the high interest rates that people are paying on those credit card balances, default rates on credit cards and auto loans are increasing. We had two years straight of real income decline. Halen fast says food chains should fare better because of their lower price point. From the Bloomberg Newsroom, I'm Gina Cervetti on WTOP.

"Down at Fort Belvoir, 76 downtown at Foggy Bottom, and it is 74 degrees outside the WTOP studios at 3 .31. This is WTOP News. Everything you need, every time you listen. The WTOP producer's desk is wired by IBEW Local 26, where electrical contractors come to grow. I'm Good Rich Hunter. morning, Matt Small is our producer. The top stories we're following for you today. President Biden leaves for Europe today. He'll spend time in three nations tending to alliances that have been tested by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. First stop, London, where Biden will meet on Monday with King Charles for the first time since he was crowned. Next, the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. Alliance leaders will discuss the war in Ukraine and revised plans to deal with Russia. The final stop is in Helsinki, where Biden expected is to celebrate the expanding alliance with Finland as the newest member of NATO. President Biden says the latest jobs reports show his economic strategy is working. CBS News Natalie brand has more recent poll shows only 34 % of US adults approve of how President Biden has handled the economy. GOP presidential hopefuls are trying that sentiment. Groceries and gas are still high. American families feel it. You can call it whatever you want, but it's not the American dream. Former President Trump speaking to farmers in Iowa Friday focused much of his speech on attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who in recent polling still trails Trump but is the only other Republican candidate to have regular support in the double digits. That's CBS News correspondent Natalie brand. Top Republicans are gearing up to investigate the Hunter Biden case. The chairman of the House Judiciary Oversight and Ways and Means committees have launched a combined investigation into whistleblower claims of improper interference in the federal tax case surrounding Hunter Biden. They're seeking voluntary testimony from senior officials at the Justice Department FBI and IRS based on whistleblower claims. There was a slow walking of investigative steps and delaying tactics before the 2020 election. The Justice Department has been denying the whistleblower claims last month. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the federal prosecutor who led the investigation into tax offenses was given complete authority to make all decisions on his own. Delaware Attorney U .S. David Weiss was appointed by former President Trump and kept on by the Democratic administration to avoid the appearance of a conflict. Hunter Biden has agreed to a plea deal in the tax case against him. Jackie Quinn Washington. In 333 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Snake Island on the Black Sea Saturday. There he paid tributes to defenders to mark the day of the war was Russia. Snake Island may be tiny but it is a powerful symbol of resistance for Ukraine. On the first day of Russia's invasion last February a Ukrainian border guard told a Russian warship in no uncertain terms where to go after being ordered to surrender. Russia took the island but Ukraine later recaptured it. Laying flowers at a memorial President Zelensky says what happened there is proof that Ukraine will one day regain all its territory. That's the BBC's correspondent Gordon Carrera. The US has agreed to supply controversial cluster bombs to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia. Cluster munitions explode almost like fireworks but they are powerful tools of war says which Russia Ukraine has used against them with deadly effects. And now the US has agreed to supply Ukraine with firepower. matching We are signaling that we will continue to provide Ukraine with the capabilities that will keep them in the fight. When deployed cluster munitions scatter smaller explosives called bomblets across an area that can larger be than several football fields. But sometimes those bomblets do not explode on impact, posing a threat to civilians and especially children after a conflict. It's one reason more than 120 countries have banned them but not the US. The White House says American cluster weapons have dud a rate of less than 3 percent for unexploded bomblets. That's compared to 30 to 40 percent Russian for weapons and they say Ukrainians have been asking for these bombs to defend their own territory. Ukraine would not be using these munitions in some foreign land. This is their country they're defending. These are their citizens they're protecting. The UN Human Rights Office said Friday that cluster weapons shouldn't be used anywhere. President Biden could face questions about the decision from NATO allies. He will travel to Lithuania for a NATO summit next week. Bradley Blackburn, CBS News, York. New Ukraine's president thanked President Biden on social media saying the weapons will bring them closer to victory. The latest aid package to Ukraine brings total US spending on the war to more than $41 billion. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is saying she hopes the world's two largest economies can figure out a way to work together on climate change. As the world's two largest emitters of greenhouse gases and the largest investors in renewable energy, we have both a joint responsibility and ability to lead the way.

"Is one of the army installations many of them. That is supposed to be getting a new name. But the board of supervisors there is leading an apparent effort to stop that from happening. Fort belvoir was originally named after an army general back in 1917, but then renamed in 1935 after a colonial era plantation that once stood on its ground. Fairfax now reports the board has an issue with some of the reasons the army's naming commissions added fort belvoir in the first place to a list of installations that need a new name, including questions apparently over historical inaccuracies and uncertainties about how black history should be represented at the fort. Stay tuned. Sad news from the world of entertainment this morning, doctor Robert Blake, the Emmy winning beretta star, has died. He was 89. Robert Blake's life would have made a fascinating film.

"5 28. Traffic and weather on the 8s to Carlos and the traffic center. Thanks, Liz. If you're headed on the eastbound outbound side of New York avenue, still dealing with that crash, though it does look like the a few of those vehicles have been pulled away. I'm only seeing one last emergency vehicle with those blue and red lights flashing there over on the right hand side of the roadway. So watch out for them. They're definitely still blocking part of the roadway, though no real delays. Just be ready to move over if you could. If you're headed on the beltway, things are quiet so far. Southbound I 95 and your approach towards one 98 to left lanes still blocked there. Southbound side of I two 70 after muddy branch road, you got one lane blocked, no delays because of that one. Down in Virginia, got a few new accidents in for you, all happened in here. 5 o'clock tends to be when people hit the road. So this is what's happening. Northbound I 95. I got an accident scene on the ramp to route one. And now if you often take that ramp, you know that it basically turns into an access road, that's where the accident scene is before you head up towards the split for route one or towards fort belvoir. So what you're going to see is that once you're on that access road, you're going to have crash activity on both the far left and the far right shoulder. As of now, I'm accounting several emergency vehicles, but they're not blocking your actual through lanes. Stay down towards the center of the roadway anyways, just in case folks are walking around those vehicles. Also, on I 95 northbound right as you make way past lorton, you've got the far right and the far left shoulder also blocked. Looks like the accident scene involving a single vehicle must have bounced off of one side of the roadway. It ended up on the other side. So be cautious, again, no lanes are blocked, but it may cause a distraction. Remember to stay hyper alert for the lanes that are around you. In other words, stay in your lane.

Thanks Dmitri as 66 has a work zone and an accident scene in the same spot if you're headed westbound towards route 50. You will find that you only have that far right lane available to you because of the work zone and it seems like an accident scene did happen there what ended up happening is they moved those vehicles into the work zone. So in theory, you should still just have that far right lane getting by regardless. Just be a little extra cautious there as you drive by so many of these work crews. As you continue on, it's found past the manassas rest area. They have one out there as well, just that far right lane getting by right now. Also want to take a look here at Braddock road. Looks like if you're headed on the westbound side, soon after the George Mason area, they're approaching fairfax county Parkway. Got an accident scene that's got all lanes completely shut down. Westbound side of Braddock road is completely shut down right now. If you're headed westbound, your last point to bail out is probably going to be surely gate road. You can go ahead and make that right turn ahead towards Main Street to continue towards a fairfax county Parkway. Again, westbound Braddock road near the fairfax county Parkway, completely shut down. I 95 looks good, three 95 is quiet so far. Things in Maryland are looking pretty good on the beltway, 95. It looks good. BW Parkway northbound have the crash near 32, but it looks like it is officially in the clearing stages northbound D.C. two 95 slow, headed past the 11th street bridge, but no accident scenes being reported at this very moment, 50 so far. If you're making your way from the beltway out towards the bay bridge, no issues, but it does seem like they're in the process of flipping towards two way traffic, as of now looks like the westbound span is just about to get ready to get shut down.

How did the Ukrainians do it and how have they managed to stay in the fight for this long? A little earlier, CBS News correspondent Charlie dagger joined us from Kyiv to think back to one year ago. It was extraordinary to witness because I was here. We were here when that unfolded and the very next day when they were handing out these weapons at sports centers and along intersections, it was real and it really was happening and they were putting up barricades and we had civilians who were loading up molotov cocktails. And yes, it was not going to be enough clearly. That was not going to be enough to stop one of the most powerful militaries in the world, but we spoke to the defense secretary. Alexei resnikoff. And I put that question to that the civilian soldiers wouldn't be enough. He said, it wasn't just that. We had spotters. We had people pinning when Russian tanks were coming down the street. And the soldiers that they did have, they put them in the right places. There was a place hostile, which is an airport. Just a 25 minute drive outside of the capital. And we went there afterward. And what happened there was extraordinary. The elite Russian pirate troopers were trying to establish that as an air bridge in order to take over the city itself, and they were stopped. Long enough for the full soldiers to go in there to an actual battalion strength to go in there and to turn the Russian forces back. And we've seen these horrific images in places like butcha and urban. These are suburbs of Ukraine that were taken over for a time, but the Ukrainian forces were able to push them back. Do you remember the 40 mile convoy of death? Everybody was expecting what's going to happen there. I myself was expecting, not necessarily that there was going to be a sort of massacre in the streets of key, but it would be under siege that it might fall within 72 to 96 hours as western intelligence and greeting U.S. intelligence was predicting. It just didn't happen. And in the time it took to get the western supplied weapons, the bigger weapons in there, it turned the tide against Russian forces. It has been extraordinary to witness. On the front line at this point, a lot of the people fighting for Russia are conscripts, the Ukrainians to your point are literally fighting for life and death. Where does the fighting stand now? Well, we went out to the front lines east of bakhmut and shut down their places just getting pummeled as you seen along curse on outside of our tea itself. Anything within Russian artillery range is getting hit constantly. And when we went to the place just northeast of Bach moon, their genuinely wasn't a 32nd period where there wasn't an explosion, either incoming or outgoing. And I know there's been a lot of reporting and Ukrainian forces have been talking about artillery. That's really what they need right now. Mostly it's ammunition because they are burning through this ammunition. Far quicker than the United States or any of America's allies or Ukraine's allies can provide it. And we can't get here quickly enough. So it really is an artillery war. In some cases, we talk about trench warfare because French warfare when you see it up close is small arms fire. It's grenades. It really is a matter of a couple hundred yards either way in either direction. So we talk about the fight that has stagnated or stable front lines. That kind of suggests that nothing's going on. No, the opposite is true. They're actually fighting for every inch in their fighting constantly. So along those battle lines, this is a very active and dynamic fight that's going on.
