On today's podcast: 1) Claudine Gay is stepping down as president of Harvard University, ending a brief and tumultuous tenure marred by allegations of plagiarism and a campus controversy over antisemitism. 2) Donald Trump filed a lawsuit seeking to restore his name to Maine's presidential primary ballot after the state disqualified him over his attempt to reverse the result of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden. 3) Traders hoping that a pan-markets year-end rally would pick up where it left off got the opposite on 2024's first trading day, a session that featured one of the worst-ever concerted drops in stocks and bonds to start a year. Full transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the leadership shakeup at the top of the IVY League. Claudine Gay is stepping down as president of Harvard University weeks after her highly criticized congressional testimony about the school's handling of campus anti semitism, alongside the presidents of MIT and the University of Pennsylvania. Bloomberg's David Weston begins our team coverage. It has been sort of a firestorm for these three presidents to deal with exactly how you control and influence discussion on the campus. There were also questions that developed over time about some of the work that President Gay had done for her dissertation for her PhD, and allegations that she had improperly used sources that she did not identify. Initially, the Corporation of Harvard, which is what they call the Board of Trustees of corporation, said there'd been an investigation and they had totally exonerated her. There was no problem. But now she said, she stepped down, and I take her to ward. At this point, and at some point, a leader becomes a distraction. Bloomberg's David Weston reports this is a dramatic about face for Harvard. Claudie Gay became the university's first black president just six months ago. Well Nathan, one of Gay's harshest critics, says her stepping down is long overdue, and Bloomberg's At Baxter has that part of the story. Congresswoman Elis Stefanik says Gay in the December hearing never condemned calls for genocide against Jews as a violation of university policy. This is part of what Gay said at that December hearing. We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. Stefanica is a Harvard alum who said Gay's statements were morally bankrupt. And Bill Ackman now who's also gone after Gay posted at two sally an apparent reference to the president of MIT at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, okay, and thanks. Sticking with politics, another legal battle is set in motion involving Donald Trump's ability to return to office. S Bloomberg's Amy Morris has the latest. Trump is not just appealing the decision in Maine to remove his name from the primary ballot. He's also suing the official mains Secretary of State, Senna Bellows, who made that decision. It's another legal argument that will likely be settled by the US Supreme Court, along with a case from Colorado where a group of voters is calling for the justices to quickly step in. They're asking for that case to be expedited. They'd like a ruling by February eleventh, and we could learn whether the Supreme Court will it Dervine in the Colorado case by this Friday. In Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Amy, thanks now to the latest developments in the Middle East. A senior Hamas leader has been killed by Israel on a explosion in Beirut. Hamas says Israel killed Sileai al Rory, deputy headed the group's polit bureau, who was known as the mastermind behind its armed wing in the West Bank. Began more from a Bloomberg Silary Liebert, it's sort of a no brainer that if they had a senior Hamas leader, they could find an attack who wasn't in some underground hiding place wherever he was, if they would go after him, and Bloomberg Larry Liebert. It says aler Rory would be the most senior Hamas leader killed during the war. Turning to markets now, Karen wall Street kicked off the new year with a thud. Both tech stocks and treasuries sold off. The Nasdaq one hundred index fell one point seven percent, at benchmark's biggest drop in two months. Rich Weiss is chief investment Officer of multi asset Strategies at American Century Investments. If you look from the start of twenty twenty two through the end of twenty twenty three, cash basically outperformed most equities, maybe not the Magnificent seven, but most equity portfolios. So cash has been king, likely to be king at least for the first half of this coming year, at least, we believe American Century Investments. Rich Weiss thinks it could be a tough earning season for corporate America well. One of the biggest losers in yesterday sell off, Nathan was Apple I lost more than one hundred seven billion dollars in value after Barclay's analysts downgraded the tech giant. Bloomberg's Mark German explains the bearish view of the iPhone maker four quarters plus in a row of holiday declines. The earnings report that's coming at the end of January early February will indicate that Q one was either in line, maybe a little bit more a little bit less than the prior quarter. You have these patent situations which are likely to crop up in higher frequency now given the success that Massimo has had over the past few months. And Bloomer's Mark German notes that Apple shares rose around fifty percent to a record last year. Well, on the flip side, shares of JP Morgan closed at a record to kick off the new year. The bank's rebound from its twenty twenty two low has now pushed its market capitalization to about five hundred billion dollars. The lender's been a top performer in the banking industry following record results last year. Well Nathan investors will turn their attention for more clues on the future of interest to rates. This afternoon, the Federal Reserve issues minutes of dece meeting, and Bloomberg's Vinidel Judai reports Bloomberg Economics as the minutes could signal interest rate cuts aren't imminent, they'll fetcher. Jerome pal did strike a dubvish tone last month's news conference that officials voted to hold the benchmark interest rate target steady for the third time at December's meeting after more than a year of tightening. Next session, January thirtieth and thirty first. Also on today's US economic agenda, job openings, as well as ISM factory data. If Anny Dale, Judeace, Bloomberg Radio, Sorry, and Ethan Thanks. It's time out for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world, and for now we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, good morning, Good morning, Karen. Migrants sent mostly from Texas, have been showing up at train stops outside New York City over the weekend, sidestepping a new order limiting how they arrive. Hundreds of migrants took a detour in New York and New Jersey to bypass the New York order limiting the seat the number of arrivals. New York City and Chicago recently began restricting migrant bus arrivals, and now the crackdown spreading to the suburbs. Woodstock Mayor Michael Turner spoke at a city council meeting, we do not have the staff the expertise for the money, and that may not be the ideal. We may all wish it was something different, but that's the reality for Chicago. Suburbs in Hinsdale, Woodstock, Buffalo Grove, and Juliette taking official action now passing ordinances to find bus companies dropping off migrants without notice. Meanwhile, four ports of entry at the southern border will be reopened tomorrow. Those ports were closed because of a record influx of migrants. Officials said closing the border crossings was just a last resort to stem the flow of people crossing the border. Hospitals across the country now initiating some new policies in response to a rise in respiratory illness cases, more emergency room visits because of flu, COVID and RSV, prompting some hospitals to require prior off authorization for visitors younger than twelve years old. Duke Health infectious disease specialist doctor Cameron Wolf says, for the most part, people understands it. Ever easy decisions like people want to be able to come and visit their love ones in a hospital, but I think in general people understand. The CDC says more than half the country is experiencing a rise in COVID flu and RSV cases. Hospitals in at least ten states and Washington, DC have now reinstated mask mandates. Israel is planning to withdraw several thousand troops from the Gaza Strip. The IDF announced the move, noting the nearly three month war has taken a growing toll on the Israeli economy. The United Nations says more than eighty five percent of Gaza's residents have been displaced from their homes and the fighting has left more than twenty thousand people dead. And a messy winter storm is headed for the East Coast this weekend. Forecasters are expecting measurable snow from Washington, DC to New York and rain showers down south. Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morrison. This is Bloomberg Karen all right, Amy, thank you well. As Amy said you, we do bring you news throughout the day here on Bloomberg Radio. But now you can get the latest news on demand, and that means whenever you want it. You just subscribed to Bloomberg News. Now he can get the latest headlines right at the click of a button get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, here's John Stashaur John Karen. Just two years ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost fifty eight games. This year they might end up winning fifty eight. Fifth straight win for OKC now twenty three at nine on the season. They beat the league leading Celtics one twenty seven to one twenty three. Shay Gilgess Alexander's been on a scoring tear. He went for thirty six points. Christaph Porzingis had Boston with thirty four. Jayson Tatum scored thirty, but Jalen Brown shot only four of eighteen thirty six points for Steph Curry's Golden State Feed, Orlando won twenty one to one fifteen. Terry Rozier scored thirty four Charlotte with a win at Sacramento, John Moran twenty six points, ten assists Memphis Town San Antonio and Joe Lamby thirty one points at a triple double easy win for Philadelphia over Chicago. The Sixers were up by twenty five in the first quarter New Orleans out of twenty five point lead at halftime. Pelicans rolled to an easy win over the book for the Nets Perdue number one in college basketball and now thirteen and one boiler Makers with a big ten win at Maryland sixty seven to fifty three. Acced Duke rolled pass Syracuse eighty six to sixty six, Big East Yukon and easy win over De Paul eighty five to fifty six. College Football's National Championship game Monday in Houston, and Michigan is a four and a half point favorite to beat Washington. Both teams are undefeated, but Washington has only had one win by a ten or more points since September. They may not have running back Dylan Johnson. He got caught it off late in that semifinal win over Texas Johns Dan Shower. Bloomberg Sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Washington may have just flexed its muscles with the IVY leagues now that Claudine Gay is stepping down as president of Harvard University, comes weeks after widely criticized testimony about her handling anti Semitism on campus alongside the presidents of MIT and Penn, along with new questions specifically about Clining Gay's academic record some of her past dissertations. Meanwhile, with less than two weeks until voting begins in the Republican presidential race, former President Donald Trump is fighting to stay on a second state's primary ballot after Maine kicked him off over his actions on January sixth, twenty twenty one. Lots of political news to discuss this morning, and here to do that with us is Greg Valier, chief US policy strategist at AGF Investments. Greg, good morning. First, I want to get your reaction to the sudden departure of Claudine Gay as Harvard University. She just became Harvard's first black president in July. Now, apparently after this widely panned congressional testimony and the mounting political end donor pressure, she's out. I mean, what does that say about Washington's influence over higher education. Well, there is influence, Navan, good morning, But I think a bigger factor may have been the donor's donations were way down and applications were way down, and I think that may have had a bigger impact. Well, we did have the impact of a last Stephonica Harvard alum with that viral testimony, the questioning that she gave asking them pointedly whether calling for the genocide of Jews it violates school policy, and sort of wiggling on the answers. I mean this says something about a least stephonics clout as well, doesn't it. Yeah, two points. First of all, I think she is going to be a real player. She is already, but I think she's going to be a pit bull on these issues and she summoned to watch over the next few years. Secondly, I think that the university presidents, all three of them, were just extraordinarily tone deaf. You know, maybe what they said technically was correct, but it certainly did not soothe the issue. It just inflamed the issue. Not just that we know that the committee that brought those university presidents to Capitol Hill is expanding its investigation into some of these allegations of plagiarism against now former president Claudine Gay. Where do you see this investigation going into what's happening on these campuses. Well, I think that that is going to be fair game throughout the country, and I think it's not just these three presidents. I think it's probably a lot of other university officials that are now going to have to worry. I want to talk about the constitutional crisis potentially here with former President Donald Trump now suing to try to stay on Main's primary ballot after the Secretary of State made that move. Where do you see this going? Well, first of all, Nathan, I think it's probably ninety ninety five percent chance that the Supreme Court will take the issue. I think they have to beyond that. I think the odds would favor this court, which has three Trump appointees of six to three conservatives on the court. I suspect they would reject the argument that Trump has to be taken off the ballot. I think the Court could decide this within the next few weeks, before Super Tuesday on March five. I think that in the final analysis, Trump will be on the ballots. There is a difference between a secretary of state making a move like this and a Supreme Court like what happened in Colorado, Does that make any difference for the Supreme Court if it does come to that. It could, and there will be lots of issues debated, but I think the main one is can you quickly prove that Trump supported an insurrection? I mean that's a case that could take years, certainly many many months, and we don't have that kind of time with an election coming up. So barring any definitive ruling on the January sixth insurrection, I just don't see this going anywhere. Well, that being said, why do you think the Supreme Court would make a decision quickly if, as you say, it would take a substantial amount of time before the Supreme Court to determine whether former President Trump did indeed commit insurrection? Well, I think the Court we'll just have a cotton dried decision saying that that they don't have the jurisdiction right now to define insurrection or decide whether there was insurrection. And I think without that finding, again, I just don't think it's going to go anywhere. This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Election device. Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, SERRIUSXM, the iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

The US' electricity system is complicated, with each of the 50 states setting its own rules for how markets work, how power is priced and who manages customer relations.But amid the complexity, Octopus Energy US sees a big opportunity to continue its UK success story across the pond and help US customers benefit from decarbonised electricity.According to Michael Lee, the CEO of Octopus Energy US, customers can be the centrepiece of a grid based around more flexible demand if the focus is on cheaper prices and rewards for joining the road to decarbonisation.He joins Watt Matter's David Weston and Jan Rosenow to look at the company's goal to boost customer's involvement in the energy transition and the challenges of decarbonising the US grid.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our X accounts:Michael Lee:https://twitter.com/The_Michael_Lee?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorMichaela Holl:https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow:https://twitter.com/janrosenowDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHTMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenowKira Taylor: https://twitter.com/KiraTaylor15@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPodFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkShow notes via this link: https://foresightdk.com/wm-ep47/.Listen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.

Public transport operators are highly visible to the wider public. Increasingly their services are being electrified or run on clean energy. In this special live episode, Watt Matters delves into the procurement issues these operators are facing when it comes to low-carbon solutions. The transport sector is a crucial area of the economy that needs to decarbonise. As public transport operators face pressure to transition to low-carbon alternatives, they are also coming up against several challenges.

Welcome to another episode of Insights with NetSupport!In each episode, we aim to bring you an interesting guest who shares their wealth of expertise, knowledge and insights around a relevant topic. Our aim is simple: to inspire and equip you with new insights that will empower your teaching and learning or leadership activities. So, get ready to dive into this conversation, which builds upon a recent recording of Insights with David Weston from the Teacher Development Trust around teacher CPD. In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by Deputy Head at Beckfoot School, Nikki Sullivan. Hot on the heels of her recent sharing at the national ResearchED event in London, Nikki talked us through lots of insightful thinking and chalkface action. Balancing theory and practice is never an easy endeavour and here, Nikki shares openly about the approaches that take place in her school and the research which underpins it. Practical in what she shared and measured in the context of her school, Nikki referenced the work which has informed the practices around professional learning she leads on. So, expect conversations around sustainable logistics, long-serving structures, impactful mechanisms, social support and ways to achieve it, culture-building and the importance of a coherent curriculum. There are so many insights shared, you'd better bring a notebook along! Putting staff and students at the heart of her strategy, Nikki clearly knows her stuff and this episode is a must-see for anyone in education with an interest in learning more about culture, motivation and professional learning. Standing on the shoulders of giants, Nikki also took the time to pay tribute to those who have impacted on her work such as Nick Hart; Zoe and Mark Enser and their book: The CPD Curriculum; Shaun Allison and his Perfect Teacher-Led CPD book; Sarah Cottingham and Dylan Wiliam, among others.

Since 2015, Poland has been governed by the Law and Justice Party, which has been sceptical about EU climate policy and been at loggerheads with Brussels over rule of law, leading to the suspension of EU funds, including those earmarked for the green transition. This could all be about to change following October's national election, where the opposition parties together won more support than the Law and Justice Party. With the groups now expected to form a coalition, this could mean a more pro-EU, climate-friendly government. To discuss what changes the new Polish government might bring about, founder and president of the Polish think tank Forum Energii, Dr Joanna Maćkowiak-Pandera, joins David Weston and Kira Taylor.

Every year, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) puts together a report, looking at the cost of renewable power production. 2022's shows that, despite inflation, the cost has dropped. According to the report, the global weighted average levelised cost of electricity from new utility-scale solar, onshore wind, bioenergy and geothermal production fell. Thanks to the rise in fossil fuel prices, this makes the cost argument for renewables more compelling, according to IRENA. However, the picture is complicated, with China a key driver for the drop in solar photovoltaics and onshore wind. To explain more, Michael Taylor, senior analyst for renewable cost status and outlook at IRENA, joins David, Jan and Michaela. Enjoy the show!

In a special live recording of the podcast, Michael Liebriech, Katharina Umpfenbach and Dennis Hesseling join the team to discuss shifting the energy infrastructure of today into a decarbonised system of tomorrow Sufficient and effective physical infrastructure—either electricity cables or gas pipelines—is vital for a successful energy transition. But the planning and building of any new such infrastructure has not received the attention it deserves with most debates focussing on the scaling up of renewable energies or on market rules for power, gas and hydrogen. With the goal of practically eliminating gas from the energy mix and depending on electrons for our power, scaling back the pipelines and extending the cables over the next two decades is a huge undertaking. In this special live podcast—recorded at an event organised by Agora Energiewende, the Regulatory Assistance Project, Energy Cities and FORESIGHT Climate and Energy—we discussed how moving away from fossil fuels is more than just a fuel change. Our guests on the podcast this week are Dennis Hesseling, head of gas, coal and power at the International Energy Agency; Katharina Umpfenbach, head of infrastructure and energy systems at the German energy agency, Dena; and Michael Liebriech, CEO of Liebriech Associates, managing partner of EcoPragma Capital and host of rival energy podcast, “Cleaning Up – Leadership in an Age of Climate Change”.

The narrative around flexible working needs flipping. After being able to work flexibly for 14 of her 23 years in education across teaching, school leadership and MAT leadership roles, Emma Turner realised that sadly, she's actually in the minority and has just been kinda lucky. Across the education system, although there is a recent groundswell of support for developing more life-friendly, innovative and flexi ways of working, there are still a great deal of misconceptions, biases and prejudices about flexible working and flexible workers. Through her 'playlist' of educational floor fillers, Emma explores some of the successful ways in which flexible working can be viewed by both employers and employees for staff at all levels, including senior and school leadership. Designed to open up the flexible working conversation, this book outlines what can work, what has worked and what could work. This new way of viewing the flexi narrative from an experienced flex-pert encourages all to revisit our views on flexible working. Dr Lucy Kelly with Martyn Reah  After the success of the previous seven #teacher5aday #slowchats we return during October half term 2020 to plan for national #teacher5aday week in December and celebrate how we survived the most challenging half term so far. The daily chats will be the starting point for our week of wellbeing that we think will be so needed as we approach Christmas this year. Each host will share one of the elements of #teacher5aday along with their views of how to incorporate some ideas into you personal wellbeing survival pack. The New Economics Foundation have shated their ideas about Mental Health and Hope during Covid 19 https://neweconomics.org/2020/10/mental-health-and-hope which has provided some inspiration for this version of slowchat. For those of you who remember #PedagooHampshire I hope national #teacher5aday week this year will have a similar impact. A festival of happy and healthy teachers turning their learning into development with wellbeing and its heart. Teacher Development Trust Section https://tdtrust.org/collaborative-enquiry-training/

The security and threat landscape has changed with more of us working from home. Attackers are getting more sophisticated in both luring victims and hiding automated commands. Equally, the protections from your on-premises network perimeter and firewall don't always apply when your users are away from the office, using personal devices, or if you've had to free up capacity on your VPN to avoid saturation. In this episode, we catch up with David Weston, Microsoft Hacker in Chief, once again to see live malware campaigns, COVID-19 themed phishing attempts, connecting non-compliant devices to managed resources -- along with the controls you can put in place to both block unwanted attacks and investigate/remediate post breach. We'll look at policy controls in Microsoft Intune and Group Policy in Windows 10, plus how you can use Microsoft Secure Score to assess where your organization is today and plan for the controls to increase your security posture in the future. The good news is that as you increase your protections for people working from home, these additive controls will make your defenses even stronger once users come back to the office.

Warwick studied economics at Cambridge and has a masters in public policy management. He lives in London with his wife Anna (whose intuitions are always better than his!) Warwick has always been fascinated by our intuition, and the fast and automatic judgements we all make. This book combines that with what Warwick considers to be the most important and transformational area of our lives: education. Warwick wrote this book because he sees it as an opportunity to explore and share some of the main biases in our thinking which come with being human, and how they apply to education. He hopes it is empowering and uplifting, directly useful for us all as we face big education choices, and a catalyst for further material in this important space. Podcast pedagogy- The Curriculum – Gallimaufry to coherence By Mary Myatt | Publisher John Catt Educational Ltd So how do we get from whatever Gallimaufry is to coherence? Mary Myatt is very clear on this, and leaders and teachers will find lots to get them started. Myatt’s writing is concise and each section is broken down into small chunks; this easy read brings a real clarity to our thinking as she takes us through the fundamentals of the curriculum, planning, assessment and feedback, and finally leadership. The last section is split into subject areas (abridged from School's week review by Melanie Hooson) I will be looking into this book ahead of my natter with Mary later this month.
