On today's podcast: 1) The first truce since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted last month went into effect on Friday morning. The deal came after weeks of complex and delicate talks brokered by Qatar, the US and Egypt. The halt in fighting in Gaza is intended to last for four days. Hamas, an Iran-backed militant group, is meant to return 50 of the almost 240 hostages it captured from Israel, while the Israelis will release 150 jailed Palestinians and allow more aid into Gaza. 2) The Canadian mayor of Niagara Falls, Jim Diodati, said the Rainbow Bridge is expected to reopen in a day or two, after a car explosion that killed two people shuttered the busy crossing between the US and Canada. 3) Barclays Plc is working on plans to reduce costs by as much as $1.3 billion over several years, which could involve slashing as many as 2,000 jobs, according to Reuters.   Full transcript:|Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm John Tucker. Here are these stories we're following today. The first group of Israeli hostages is expected to leave the Gaza Strip soon in a deal that's meant to return fifty of the nearly two hundred and forty captives that Hamas took from Israel. Israel plans to release one hundred and fifty jailed Palestinians. All involved are women and people under the age of nineteen. This stop in fighting is intended to last for four days. It marks the first major lull in this war since it began October seventh. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says the military offensive will go on after that. We hope to get this first tronch out and then we're committed to getting everyone out, but we'll continue with our fore aims namly to eradicate Kamas, because Kamas has already promised that they will do this again and again and again. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says he has delivered that same message in a phone call to President Biden. We had along with a hostage release, the deal will also allow for more AID into Gaza. Bloomberg's owner Aunt says the humanitarian aid is critical for the people at Gaza. The very first trucks that went in we're carrying cooking gas, which obviously is very critical for more than two million people are currently living in Gaza in what the UN calls a dire humanitarian situation. Bloomberg's owner Aunt reports Palestinians were emerging from temporary shelters and crowded the streets as southern Gaza as the AID trucks entered. Back in the US, we want to bring you update from the events that unfolded on the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls this week. New York Governor Kathy Hochel says that bridge is back open after a car explosion on Wednesday killed two people and closed that crossing between the US and Canada. Hockel says there is no sign of terrorism so far. She adds a suspect of ties to Western New York has been identified. Investigation will determine if the blast was intentional or an accident. The holiday shopping season kicks into full swing today, with shoppers searching for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Deloitte Saniel Thanksgiving survey. He finds consumers plan on spending and average almost five hundred and seventy dollars on both days. That's up thirteen percent from last year. And Bert Flickinger managed Rector with Strategic Resource Groups. As shoppers are feeling confident, however, they're using a new tool this shopping season. It's going to be by now, pay later. Fifteen percent of all purchases will be that way, and consumers are still taking on credit card debt, but sixty three percent of consumers will be buying with debit card and trying to put less on credit as interest rates have climbed and the average household has seventeen thousand and revolving unpaid credit card debt. Bert Flickinger with Strategic Resource Groups. As many consumers plan to do much of the shopping during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in order with their spending limits, traders are going to be following the traditional kickoff of the holiday shopping season today as well as SMP Global Manufacturing PMI data that comes after the Eco data dump we saw on Wednesday. It showed a drop in jobless claims and expectations that inflation will climb from the University of Michigan sentiment poll. The bond market is open till two pm Wall Street time today, and the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq close at one and we're also following financial news in Europe this morning. Starting in the banking sector, Barkley's aiming to reduce costs by as much as one point three billion dollars over the next several years and could cut up to two thousand back office jobs that's about two percent of its workforce. This according to a report from Reuter's. Bloomberg's Jenny Serdaine says investors are looking for a renewed strategy after a disappointing third quarter. I think a lot of this is driven by investors just really being unhappy with how this company has been run. And so you've got you know, vin Kata Krishnan, their CEO, who's really looking at trying to take some big, bold moves here and promising that he's going to have a strategy update that will really make clear how to bring Barklays out of this position that they're in. Bloomberg's Jenny Strain says Barkleys could make more cuts in other areas outside the back office. Barkley's share is down about eleven and a half percent this year, and checking those shares now John they're up about a half percent in the pre market in London. Staying in Europe, the economic picture is getting darker in Germany. The German government is suspending a constitutional limit on net new borrowing for a fourth straight year as it struggles to recover from an energy induced downturn last winter. This move to lift the so called debt break will be part of a revised twenty twenty three budget. Chancellor Olof Schultz's government was forced into a radical budget overhaul after a ruling last week from the nation's top court. And turning to Asia, the Chinese government ramping up pressure on banks to support struggling real estate developers. Bloomberg's David English has more we here, trying to may allow banks to offer unsecured short term loans to qualified developers for the first time. These so called working capital loans would offer funds for day to day operations. The loans are different from other types of debt that require land or assets as collateral. We reported that authorities are finalizing this list of developers eligible for that aid. Sources say the list includes Country Garden and sign a Ocean Group. Country Garden shares jump twenty four percent yesterday on word that it was included in that list in Hong Kong. I'm David Ingliss Bloomberg Radio. Okay, David, thanks to earlier this week, oh Peck plus pushback and gathering to finalize output levels for next year by four days to November thirtieth. Now, the group says that meeting will take place online and now it's time to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world with Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Good Morning, Michael, Good Morning, Nathan and Ireland. Violent clashes broke out in central Dublin after a five year old girl was seriously injured in a NiFe attack that also saw a woman and two other young children hospitalized. Police and the attack happened near a school. Soon after, at least one hundred people took to the street, some armed with metal bars. Police said. Over four hundred officers, including many and riot gear were deployed in Dublin city center to contain the unrest. The head of the Irish Police Guarded Commissioner Drew Harris. We have a complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far right ideology, and also then this disruptive tendency here engaged in serious violence. Commissioner Harris says a person of interest, a man in his fifties, was arrested at the scene. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in nineteen ninety three. The three page legal document does not contain details of the alleged assault. Adams denied the allegations absolutely not true. You know, I would never do anything to anyone, and it's just really say, you know, my career speaks for itself. The suit comes just hours before New York's Adult Survivor's Act expires, which eliminates the statute of limitations for accusers of sexual abuse to come forward. The filing seeks a trial and five million dollars in relief. Evacuation orders have been lifted near the scene of a tank or train derailment in eastern Kentucky. The trains operator CSXAS sixteen cars went off the rails Wednesday afternoon near the small town of Livingstone, Dustin Heiser with Kentucky Emergency management throughout this entire event. The safety of the public has been our number one concern. The derailment sent dangerous fumes into the air. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterrees is visiting Antarctica just before the COP twenty eight climate talks begin. Gu Terras called the continent's warming devastating warming air and ocean temperatures are causing Antarctic ice to melt. Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg Ninth It him Michael. Thanks. You can get much more Bloomberg on your dashboard with the new Bloomberg Business App featuring Apple Car Play and Android Auto. You get access to every Bloomberg podcast, live audio feeds from Bloomberg Radio, even print stories in audio form from Bloomberg News. Download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Connect your phone to your car and get started with the Bloomberg Business App. Presented by our sponsor, Interactive Brokers. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, brought to you by tri State Outing. Good morning, Nathan, the NFL at the triple header on Thanksgiving, the Packers knocking off the lines in Game one twenty nine to twenty two of the Cowboys dominated the Commanders in Game two opics and stays in the block. That's to late on Hawker. Is that bliand news gott it you streaking out the sideline? He's not hol depeat. If he does, he's gonna play the record of a gain. He slipped through three Commanders defenders at clinics at out and he scores. That is his fifth fix six of the season. That's courtesy of the Cowboys Radio Network, Dallas dominating the Commanders forty five to ten in Dallas, while in Game three is the forty nine Ers all over the Seattle Seahawks thirty one to thirteen. Coming up today, kick off at three pm Eastern Time at Mettlife Stadium in New Jersey. It's the New York Jets hosting the Dolphins. New York comes in losers of three straight. End has made a quarterback change as Tim Boyle takes over for Zach Wilson. Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackid talking about Boyle, he has an unbelievable knowledge of the system. He has a tenacity when it comes to his preparation. I mean, he NonStop, from everything from every single drawing to every single th

areness of the hostagism and the kind of conditions in which they are living in Gaza is going to be accentuated, and I think that is going to be something that will weigh very heavily on the Israeli government. Probably not sufficient to get them to stop the conflict at this stage, but I think we are getting closer to that point. 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 by six am Easter each morning, on Apple's 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 six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa Play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, Sirius xmb iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm John Tucker. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg day BreakSee

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: After a few delays, NASA's new rocket, Artemis 1, is scheduled to launch tomorrow. Where'd the Americans go? There have been fewer tourists from the U.S. than some would expect – or hope for – over this year. What is the cause? Arcade Fire was already facing a disruption, with singer Win Butler set to leave and pursue more solo work after this tour... now multiple allegations of sexual misconduct have been raised against him. These are the last days of 2022 for the tours of Dundurn's historic Kitchen Garden. After learning that the federal government's plans for addressing the housing crisis involve supports for rent-to-own models, many Canadians have asked... "how does rent-to-own work for housing?" Bell Media, the owners of CTV, may have more trouble for their reputation following the dropping of Lisa LaFlamme: now we are hearing more from Jamil Jivani, who is suing Bell, alleging that he was wrongfully let go because he did NOT fit a certain stereotype for a black man. Why is Prime Minister Trudeau focusing so much attention on the GTA right now?

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley: Are you a fan of wine? It is the preferred drink of many a Canadian, and wine connoisseurs may have to cut back on their favourite Niagara-grown-grape-drink; Niagara region vineyards are seeing some of the worst winter damage in 17 years: early estimates say around 50 per cent of grape vines are damaged. Despite warmer weather bringing benefits to vineyards, the unpredictability of winter has become problematic. Debbie Inglis, Brock University's director of Cool Climate Oenology joins Scott for more on that. The City of Hamilton hit a new milestone for 2022: surpassing $1 billion worth of construction costs by June. 2022 now marks the earliest the City has reached the billion-dollar mark in construction value. This milestone represents 3761 building projects in the residential, institutional, commercial, and industrial sectors. Hamilton's director of Economic Development, Norm Schleehan, speaks to this development. Is Canada in a recession?
