That was the markets. Let's get to our top stories. The United States and Italy are the latest countries to announce a requirement for negative COVID tests for travelers from China. Bloomberg's White House reporter Jordan Fabian says concerns are growing over the risk of new variants of the virus emerging. The U.S. officials have become increasingly alarmed at the level of COVID infections in China. And also what they say is the lack of transparency regarding the data coming out. U.S. officials also telling Jordan Fabian they aren't currently considering a travel ban for people coming from China, the UK, Australia, and Germany haven't yet introduced any new restrictions that are said to be monitoring developments closely. Goldman Sachs is working on a fresh round of job cuts that will be unveiled in a matter of weeks with the details his Bloomberg's Charlie palace. That word from CEO David Solomon in his traditional yearend message to staff Solomon said quote we are conducting a careful review and while discussions are still ongoing, we anticipate our headcount reduction will take place in the first half of January. He says there are a variety of factors impacting the business landscape, including tightening monetary conditions that are slowing down economic activity. Earlier this month, sources said the firm may seek to eliminate as much as 8% of its workforce or up to 4000 jobs to contain a slump in profit and revenue. In New York, Charlie palette Bloomberg daybreak Europe. ExxonMobil is suing the European Union in a bed to block a new windfall tax on oil companies, it argues the block does not have the legal authority to impose the levee, they'll also put the firm in a collision course with governments who are looking to raise billions to bring down energy costs for consumers, Exxon's chief financial officer recently told investors that windfall taxes in various countries could cast the company at least $2 billion by the end of 2023. Here in the UK where she's in act spokesman says the government is aware of the strikes hitting the country are causing massive disruption. The comments come as borgia force workers and railway staff continue their industrial action today. The general secretary of the two UC Paul Novak says ministers need to negotiate on salary increases. We have a recruitment and retention crisis across large parts of our public services, a 133,000 staff vacancies in the NHS and you're not going to resolve that issue unless you get the pay of NHS workers rise and again. Paul Novak also says the UK could face years of strikes, nurses and ambulance workers are planning further industrial action in January after walkouts earlier this month. And staying in the UK consumers are planning to cut back on eating out and non-essential shopping next year as the cost of living continues to rise, a survey by the consulting firm KPMG found that almost two thirds of people felt the need to reduce spending and save more amid rising food and housing costs, almost half of the 3000 people surveyed said they're dipping into savings to meet essential costs that figure rising to 80% among low income households one in ten consumer surveys said they had no savings, though, and on average people in London had the lowest average savings at 4725 pounds. So those are the top stories that we're following for you this morning, interesting to contrast those cost of living stories with Juarez on the front pages of the newspapers today, of course, still plenty of focus on strikes. Good morning, Leigh Anne garen you've been looking through these stories for us. The times has the headline union chief says coordinated strikes are only a matter of time. Yes, indeed, Stephen, and as he just mentioned they're not only are their strikes happening, there's also a cost of living crisis happening and we've been speaking about this for months actually, and now ministers are warning that it's only a matter of time before striking unions are joined forces. Britain's been told that it faces coordinated and escalating walkouts in the new year. Now this has really an attempt to push the government into a corner to back down on public pay sector disputes. Marks are what he is a general secretary of the PCS union which covers things like border force workers, and he says Richie sunac is refusing to step in. He's just repeating his assertion that below and face and settlements could not be reopened, also speaking to sky new Stephen, as you mentioned, Paul Novak, the head of the T UC is accusing ministers of Sabo charging negotiations, and as you mentioned, Rishi sunak has acknowledged that there's massive disruption happening across the country, especially those rail strikes over Christmas, and now according to the time newspaper the government is planning to set out laws next month restricting the rights of staff in certain public sectors to a strike. So I feel like this argument is probably going to escalate into the new year. Okay, that is the story in the times. The Financial Times has a story on how the City of London has adapted to hybrid working. It's adapted and divided to hybrid working actually according to the Financial Times, and it's saying financial and professional companies have seen the biggest divide since the COVID pandemic when it comes to who can work from home, some are demanding staff return to the office several days a week while others are giving employees as much greater freedom to choose when they work from home. And a lot of that is to do with the tight labor market that we are seeing,

The lawsuit is a major response to the tax from the oil industry that has reaped record profits this year as western governments have sought to bring down skyrocketing consumer energy bills following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The action could jeopardize the tax, which would raise billions to bring down consumer energy costs. In New York, Charlie pellets, Bloomberg, daybreak, Asia.

Police union says fax were ignored in favor of what appears to be a politically motivated witch hunt, they say after the state attorney general today charged three officers in the death of Manual Ellis, who said he couldn't breathe as he was being restrained. It has been a tough week for some of the biggest names on the oil industry. Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron have all been asked to Ted taken to task when it comes to their roles and global climate change. Steven Mufson following it for the Washington Post and talked with Cuomo's Bill O'Neill, Stephen, let's start with Shell, which actually is now looking at a court order and all of this It's a case brought by some climate activists in a court in The Hague. And the court ruled that Shell, which is generally thought of as being one of the more forward looking at the big oil companies. Hold the company that it needed to do more and do faster to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gasses. Now, as for Exxon Mobil and Chevron both face new directors from their shareholders when it comes to climate change, don't think they do and, uh, next time case it was delivered of the small hedge fund. Which owned 0.2% of the company, But, you know, got a lot of pension funds and other big stock fund managers. To rally to their side and cast votes against companies management and in favor of Some people who they think will have some new thinking on issues like climate change. Now, of course, all of this really is a process. Whether it's a court order or the shareholders air directly, then changed does take time, though, doesn't it? It's tough on a big company companies like Exxon Mobil. Which has operations all over the world, so it can be to sculpt that. On the other hand, you look at a company like BP, and it says that it's going to reduce its production by 40% of the over the coming decades. That's that's a lot for a big company, and I think a lot of the shareholders felt that more could be done. And they're trying to send some kind of message to the company's management. Of course, there are other big players in this industry. You mentioned BP who are surely taking note of what's happening here. Definitely, you know, it's it's most difficult for the oil and gas industry because you know you're really talking about climate change is really an existential question for them. You're really talking about them. Reducing the core of what they do and finding some other way to make money. Or some some way to make their products little less harmful. There's a tough thing, but it Z. There's a more of a sense of urgency about this among companies that I think there has been before That's business of climate change. Reporter Steven Mufson read more online had Washington post dot com and that's comas Bill O'Neill. But there's a good chance the car in your driveway is worth a lot more than you think. Shortage of cars driving up prices. If you need to buy a used car do it quickly, Experts say the same used car sitting on the lot today. Could cost more next week. This is totally weird. Typically, I used car will depreciate. I'II drop in price by about 1% per week. The idea that it would in three or four months increase by over 25%. Is unheard of. We're seeing all kinds of strangeness on that thing. Toby Russell with shift, calm says there's a surge of demand for all cars as more buyers feel the end of the pandemic is in sight.

"We're leading with the tiny hedge fund worried about climate change that has shaken up the world of Boardrooms Theater Vist hedge fund is called engine number one and yesterday when the vote was in, it had won enough support from other shareholders to get at least two seats on the board of the oil company, Exxon Mobil. Votes are still being counted. And maybe there might be more. The investors didn't think Exxon has done enough with cleaner energy. These types of challenges from activist investors tend not to get very far. Eric Gordon is a professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and closely follows shareholder activism. Eric Thanks for joining us. Good morning, David. Here to say a watershed moment. This is a real sea change. This is the first time the climate change, people have been able to challenge and succeed against a big oil company. And the big oil company here did not want this change. And the challengers here. We're not really huge shareholders. It's not like they owned 51% of Exxon Mobil. You know, in the world of investing, it was an ant. This engine number one. The actual name of the Challenger is like a tiny and you can barely see them. But they put together and executed a masterful plan and they won. In large part, you could argue on the power of ideas, the pressing challenge of climate change. Yeah, it Woz the triumph of an idea whose time has perhaps more than come against entrenched power. I mean, what is more entrenched and powerful than Exxon? Out boardrooms across the country are probably reading and listening with great attentiveness. They sure are because one it's a big surprise, and two directors like to keep their jobs, their difficult jobs. They do a lot of work, but they pay a lot of money The Exxon directors make between 206 $175,000. A year. These are jobs they want to keep. And it's embarrassing amongst your peers to lose your job as a director. And it moves the needle on the fight against carbon gasses in the atmosphere that contribute to climate change. You think I think it more than moves the needle? I think any company oil company or not, that is perceived to be dragging its feet the way Exxon was perceived to be dragging its feet. Is going to take notice and is probably going to speed things up. Eric Gordon is a professor of the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Always good to talk to you. My pleasure, David. Also yesterday, another of the oil majors as they're called Royal Dutch Shell lost landmark case in a European court where environmental activist successfully sued to four shell to cut more of its production of greenhouse gasses.

The Trump Administration's tariffs on Chinese imports are still in place, including on steel and aluminum, along with retaliatory Chinese tariffs on American goods, such as soybeans. Lower level. Officials from both sides meet monthly to carry out the so called phase one deal, which set a moratorium on new tariffs.

Force Exxon to cut back on its fossil fuel strategy and investments and doom or about climate change. It sounds inside re I suppose a little bit of corporate governance, but it is a very big Deal also and related to court over in the Netherlands today ordered Royal Dutch Shell to cut its carbon emissions by 45% within the next nine years, which is basically like tomorrow in corporate time. All right. Moving on Big Wall Street Bank CEOs Wrong Capitol Hill today, virtually, of course, that is. It was about what you'd expect from one of those five witnesses, a dozen or more senators asking questions kind of hearings. Inflation is on their minds. It turns out nothing new there housings in a bit of a bubble, Nothing really new there, either That kind of thing, although should be said Elizabeth Warren, senator of Massachusetts did give JP Morgan CEO Jamie Diamond good going over about overdraft fees and the $1.5 billion J. P. Morgan collected of them in the past year and at Amazon's annual meeting A M. ZN, of course, Jeff Bezos said July 5th is going to be his last day as CEO. That was trick headline because it is not the Amazon News. Oh, the day after a week or two of rumors, the company said today it is going to buy MGM Studios for $8.5 billion that's all in with debt. Yes, it is a big ish mergers and acquisitions story. But as with so much other news of late, this is at least as much a tech story. So we have gotten Hollywood on the phone. She's the host of marketplace Tech when she's not busy doing my job when I'm sick. Hey, Molly. Okay, Well, you know, I appreciate you. I appreciate you coming in. So long, man. Yeah, it is a tech story and Tech and Amazon. It's got to be Amazon Prime, which is at the root of this deal, right? Absolutely. I mean, I think we would be mistaken. If we said this is Amazon's attempt to beat Netflix right or become Netflix. Certainly streaming video as a business model has more than proven itself. It's been interesting for a while that Amazon has made good shows clearly and created its own content for its Amazon video streaming service, but hasn't Tried to acquire a big library until now, And I think what this ultimately is is a very expensive way to get people in the door and want to pay for that prime subscription, which is where Amazon makes a lot of money and also maybe pay a little bit like we talked about on make me smart pay a little bit here and there to subscribe to other services like Showtime or Cinemax. I mean, Amazon doesn't tidy little business as almost a Leeds generator for other streaming services to write, Make me smart, Of course, the podcast that we do together should you be in the mood for a podcast listeners out there. We talked about the story of the morning meeting this morning, and I think Michael Lipton, actually, your producer said. It's about Stickiness for Amazon Prime, right? They want to get people in and give them just another reason to stick around. Forget the free delivery. Forget all that stuff. And maybe that 100 or so dollars a year ain't so bad if you get all these movies, too. Exactly And you have seen people sort of start to grumble about the price of prime going up as it has over the couple years. Then, if you on Lee, think of it as paying for free shipping, it does start to feel like well. Is this really worth it? I can get free shipping from target. It is not about e commerce. Prime is about the idea that once you have subscribed in your part of this ecosystem, you get all of these different benefits. And, you know probably yes, there's a little bit of Hollywood dabbling here. Also in the Amazon shareholder meeting today, Jeff Bezos, in addition to announcing his retirement date, said that they plan to use this MGM catalog and developed You know, intellectual property. New shows around it extended into new entertainment. Yeah, which is which is the name of the game. The AIP. So you said they're not competing with Netflix. Right? So, so Reed, Hastings and Ted Sarandos aren't necessarily nervous about this deal. Bob Iger, the executive chairman of Disney, but really functioning mostly is the chief executive officer is probably not nervous about this deal. What if you're like Peacock, who? Lulu Yeah. Then I think you really have to worry unless you can get a great deal for placement within Amazon Prime, you know, subscribed to Peacock Er, Hu Lu through Amazon Prime, and that is one of the ways that I think Amazon is trying to deflect some of the antitrust worries about this is by saying, Listen, we're not that big and streaming. We don't intend to be You know the only name in video streaming and look it of all of the ways that we offer consumers to subscribe to our competitors through our service. As long as they keep doing that, I think they hope they can keep the antitrust boogeyman off their backs. Molly, would she of many hats in this production shop? Thanks. Milly will talk to you soon. Thanks. God this afternoon, In fact on podcast Anyway, I'll be very good. Me too. All right. Moving on. You want to be an entrepreneur? You want to start a new business.

In shift, oil industry group backs federal price on carbon
"The top oil and gas industry lobby group is now endorsing putting a federal price on carbon dioxide emissions. Reversal designed to show seriousness and addressing climate change. The decision by the American Petroleum Institute, whose members include oil giants, such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron, ends the group's longstanding opposition that helped sink cap and trade legislation just over a decade ago.
Houston Matters
How the state of the oil and gas industry affects the city of Houston
"As you may have heard earlier on morning edition. Oil giants were expected to make up some of their financial losses in the last quarter of twenty twenty but final earnings reports released. This week show. That was definitely not the case. Texas headquartered exxon mobil reported a fourth-quarter loss of more than twenty billion dollars. Bp which has its headquarters here in houston recorded a full year loss of five point. Seven billion houston headquartered conaco phillips two point seven billion lost in twenty twenty demand for crude oil dried up last year after officials called for lockdowns and travel restrictions due to the pandemic and there was already a glut in domestic supply not a good equation for the industry and the news may not be much better for oil and gas so far in twenty twenty one to discuss. Why and how it may affect houston. We're joined now by energy writer lawrence steffi. Who's the managing director for thirty points strategies. A writer at large for texas monthly and columnist for energy voice dot com lauren. Good morning good morning greg. Thanks for having me glad to have you with us. The pandemic has obviously played a big role in revenue loss for many companies. How specifically has it impacted the oil and gas industry over the last year. Well i mean you just discussed the earnings numbers and i think that that's You know one of the big impacts. I mean we've had this very unique situation over the past year where we've had an environment of low prices and low demand which is really pretty unique in the history of the industry and it's It's good a lot of companies in pretty tough spot. Does it also signal what we may see as sort of the ongoing future for this industry. Yeah i think there's sort of two it you have to take in the shorter term. Prices have come back a little bit. we'll see if the industry has you know enough financial discipline to to hold the line on that But but i think in the short term you know as vaccines roll out and and more people are able to travel again. You're going to see a pretty big spike in the band. I think when you look beyond that though you have to sort of recognize what's happening in the market and basically a lot of things are moving against the oil and gas industry You know investment is moving away from fossil fuels government policy. Worldwide is moving away from fossil fuels and even consumer choices. Moving away from fossil fuels. And that's especially true when you look at things like gm's announcement to go to a zero emission sleep by twenty thirty five. You're gonna see more products available. That consumers will give consumers an alternative to oil and gas. You mentioned government policy. How might the biden administration help or hinder efforts of the big oil and gas companies to balanced back in the coming year. Well i think you know. The biden administration has made it very clear that they want to pull us into greener energy future. Which is fine. Where i think they're being disingenuous. Is that for for many years now. Democrats have touted. You know the idea of green jobs as being replacement for jobs will be lost in the world gas industry and i think that's really You know just not accurate. I mean there's no way you're gonna replace the number of jobs you're gonna lose You know if you just think about it. It takes fewer people. To maintain a windmill does oil rig. And so you know some of those those jobs especially on the frontlines the gas industry or not coming back And that's important because those are high paying jobs. I mean it's one of the few areas in the united states where somebody with a high school. Education can still make a six figure incomes. So those are gonna be tough jobs to replace. I think the democrats need to be more honest about that situation. The other side of the coin You see republicans digging in decrying the loss of jobs that are gonna come from these policies but you know we've lost sixty thousand jobs in texas in the oil industry in less than a year And there hasn't been a lot of leadership on the republican side. We're how we're gonna manage this transition. So i think both sides need to provide some leadership and start and stop throwing around you know ideology and And actually try to try to offer some concrete solutions for the people that will be most

One of the metaphors of that last book is an aquarium that the world and our souls are aquariums and And this one.

The book is a travel log and a coming of age tale and a mafia thriller that also skewers global capitalism.

But the tiller really doesn't have any GPS, right? He's just a dot on the landscape. You know the title of this book My year abroad feels like it could be the title of a college application essay that we've all read, and this is definitely a very different kind of story from what you would expect in that college essay. What were you trying to play on with those expectations? Well, that that college I say that we would expect is what I think Tiller would expect to in any in any travels that we he was gonna have with this fellow named Pong. Of course, I wanted a upturn in that and make it in fact, the exact opposite of what could happen on that trip and invite all sorts of mayhem. And disaster for him. I'd love for you to read a portion of the book. Do you have a copy there with you? Yes, I did. Page two of four. Sure. I'm going to mention a term that's gweilo, which is basically a foreigner. And this is in the context of what happens when people from the West go elsewhere, particularly the East. Regardless, I apologize. If this seems like one of those soldiering gweilo stories in which some willful Western dude ventures abroad and learns the local ways and uses them to gain the trust of the natives. And in turn, show them how it's really done, say, dispatching a malign princeling while saving a beautiful surf girl in the process. You know, fish in strange water ultimately enhances the water sort of tale. Well, I'm here to say that's not how it will go down. My presence did not fundamentally change anything anywhere, for better or worse. Was there a reason that you wanted to turn that typical story on its head?

CEOs of oil giants Exxon, Chevron discussed mega merger
"I'm gonna start with something that happened yesterday. A quiet snowy sunday here in the greater metropolitan washington dc area and it was lovely. It was nice to. It's nice to just look outside and see the snow falling in a place where snow doesn't fall very often and i was snapped back into reality at some point during the day when i looked at twitter and saw the news reported by the wall street journal and reuters that last year the ceos of exxon mobil and chevron discussed the possibility of their two companies merging and i wasn't around in one thousand nine hundred eleven when standard oil was broken up. But i've studied enough of my business history to know that well to inform. That was my first thought. We're getting the band back to like. Are they going to rename the company standard oil. I mean what did you think when you first saw this news. Well the first thing that came to mind was was rocket rockefeller and standard oil in time. Time certainly have changed since standard oil. Right i mean the world is slowly but surely evolving its energy policy. And it's it's clearly going towards renewables. Things like solar and wind and in batteries and further away from fossil fuels. I mean that's no secret. Now i mean i think the time line is such that it. It's gonna take a while to get there. I mean when you think about fueling the entire planet. It's not just it's not just cars right. I mean we're talking about all sorts of different all sorts of different All sorts of things that really need to be powered and so to me.

Baltimore Is Suing Big Oil Over Climate Change
"Okay sue. you said that the lawsuit that went before the supreme court this week was brought by city of baltimore. Yep and there are more than twenty of these lawsuits. They're all alleging various versions of the same thing that climate change is causing damage in the city or the state or the county and that oil and gas companies are partially responsible. And the baltimore case just happens to be the one that made it the supreme court. So we'll focus on that one also very convenient because you live in baltimore.
