The debate about the supposed “colonial” foundations of Israel goes on and on. But I wonder whether Jehuda Reinharz's definitive new biography of Chaim Weizmann might help clarify the unintentional colonial foundations of the Zionist project. Reinharz explains that Weizmann made his name as a brilliant chemist in the UK, where he leveraged his equally glittering social networking skills into the publication of the 1917 Balfour Declaration. As Reinharz told me, it was Weizmann's ability to appear like a British aristocrat that enabled him to successfully schmooze imperial Brits like Lloyd-George, Balfour, Astor and Mark Sykes (of Sykes-Picot fame). So even if his Zionist dream wasn't formally designed as a colonial project, the fact that Chaim Weizmann had to dress up like British colonialist to get his way might have unintentionally resulted in Israel becoming a spooky replica of a European colony. To remix Marx, great men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please.Jehuda Reinharz was a long-time professor at Brandeis University, serving as Richard Koret Professor of Modern Jewish History in the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies; Director of the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry; founder of the Jacob and Libby Goodman Institute for the Study of Zionism and Israel; Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs; and University President. In January 2011, Dr. Reinharz assumed the presidency of the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation. Dr. Reinharz is the author or co-author of more than one hundred articles and thirty-one books in various languages and the recipient of eight honorary doctorates. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He earned his master's degree in medieval Jewish history from Harvard and his doctorate in modern Jewish history from Brandeis University.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

City extended their unbeaten run to 6 games in an entertaining game against the play-off bound Canaries.Mark Sykes fluffed an easy one on one early but City weren't to rue that miss taking the lead after 54 mins with a striker's finish from increasingly impressive defender Haydon Roberts. They only held it for a few minutes before Norwich equalized with a goal that had a hint of offside about it but then stood firm as Norwich sought to further capitalise and finished the stronger side even having a Cornick effort disallowed.Williams was immense in midfield and surely must be persuaded to stay. Him, Knight & Bird at the heart of the team is an exciting prospect for next season.Twine was OK but whilst going close with two trademark free kicks DaveP, Ian, Mark & DaveFevs can't make a case for him joining for the money he would cost, "...there is better value out there". He's yet to be on the losing side in his time with us though!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Inbördeskriget i Syrien har pågått i tio år. Konfliktens ursprung går att spåra till Frankrikes hårdhänta kolonialpolitik under 1900-talets första hälft. Gränserna var dragna helt utan hänsyn till historien och de olika folkgrupper som levde i det franska protektoratet. Dessutom verkade Frankrikes kolonialherrar utifrån principen söndra och härska.Efter självständigheten år 1946 lämnade Frankrike efter sig en dysfunktionell stat där militärkupperna avlöste varandra tills Hazef al-Asad skapade Mellersta Österns hårdaste diktatur. En diktatur där korruptionen genomsyrade alla nivåer av samhället.Det kalla kriget cementerade sedan en regim som saknade en bredare folklig förankring. Utanför kalla krigets ramar levde etniska och religiösa motsättningar kvar för att senare förstärkas av områdes stormakter.I denna nymixade repris av podcasten Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Tomas Andersson samt författaren Stefano Foconi. Tillsammans har de skrivit en rad böcker om Mellersta Östern, bland annat Levanten - Mellersta Östern utan gränser samt I skuggan av muren – Israel/PalestinaSommaren år 2011 utvecklades protester mot regimen i Syrien till ett regelrätt inbördeskrig.Trots att det styrande Baathpartiet är sekulärt kom konflikten att brytas mellan shia och sunni då regimen dominerades av den shiitiska sekten alawiter.Syrien artificiella gränser skapades av de europeiska kolonialmakterna genom en hemlig del av Sykes-Picot-avtalet som slöts 16 maj 1916 mellan Frankrike och Storbritannien, och som godkändes av Ryssland senare samma år. Det franska mandet Syrien kom att utgöras av dagens Syrien, Libanon samt den turkiska Hatayprovinsen. Det som senare blev Syrien hade aldrig tidigare existerat som en självständig stat.Under Frankrike som styrde enligt principen söndra och härska tvingades en blandning av olika religiösa och etniska grupper ihop. Frankrike gav makten till den alawitiska minoriteten vilket ledde till sekteristiska spänningar.De flesta syrier är sunniaraber, men landet styrs sedan en statskupp år 1963 av medlemmar av den alawitiska minoriteten. Den alawitiska regeringen ger den egna etniska gruppen särskilda privilegier, en maktfördelning som eldar på missnöjet hos missgynnade grupper som sunniaraber och etniska minoriteter som kurder och kristna araber. Dessutom är många syriska städer och samhällen redan organiserade i etniska eller religiösa enklaver, vilket innebär att lokala miliser också är sekteristiska, något som kan förklara varför så stor del av dödandet i Syrien har utvecklats längs sekteristiska linjer.Musik: Arabic Instrumental av MEDIA-MUSIC GROUP, Soundblock Audio Bild: Karta från Sykes–Picot avtalet som visar britternas och fransmännens intresseområde.

Early in the Great War Britain decided to dismantle the Turkish Empire and made promises to Arab leaders of independence if they would rebel against Britain's Turkish enemy. While one British leader was making these promises, another, Mark Sykes, was making a deal with other imperialists for the division of Arab lands between them.

Ian, Neil & DaveP discuss an eventful game at Ashton Gate against Michael Carrick's in form Boro   After a slow start City went in at half time 2-0 ahead thanks to an absolute stunner from TGH and a coolly slotted home penalty by Tommy Conway who had fluffed a one-on-one opportunity only minutes before.   But with barely 10 minutes gone in the 2nd half that lead had been surrendered and another Stoke City throwaway appeared a distinct possibility but no, City came storming back with Mark Sykes crashing in a volley from Dickie's header across goal.   Ther big question – did we notice any change in the playing style after 10 days of coaching from new boss Liam Manning. For me it was a yes and that from an occasional observer of City who joined me for the game and commented on the high press on more than once as City had all ten outfield players in the opposition half. That same observer also remarked on how City seemed to lose out on most of the 50-50 challenges with frustrating regularity.   City will face an even tougher test at Southampton on Wednesday and if they come through that unscathed then that play-off challenge looks more than a pipedream.

Paul Addison, Neil Maddison and Dana Malt take your reaction to Middlesbrough's 3-2 defeat at Bristol City in the Championship.A Taylor Gardner-Hickman screamer and a Tommy Conway penalty put the Robins 2-0 up before the break, with Boro levelling things up shortly after half-time through an own goal and a Matt Crooks finish.

Vi behövde bara tjata i 10 år innan SvD av alla jäkla tidningar kom ifatt, detta samtidigt som Tony Blair efterfrågas som humanitär koordinator i Israel-Hamas konflikten och David Cameron blir brittisk utrikesminister... "Efter förra söndagens krönika om antisemitism har frågan kommit upp om rötterna till dagens konfliktscenario mellan israeler och palestinier, inte minst vilken skuld de västerländska kolonialmakterna i allmänhet och britterna i synnerhet har till att det blivit som det blivit. Därav denna krönika. Låt oss börja med första världskriget – som så många andra av nutidens eländen kan den moderna Palestinakonflikten härröras till denna ”urkatastrof”, låt vara att den som så önskar kan spåra rötter ännu längre tillbaka. Den 16 maj 1916 slöts ett av nutidshistoriens mest beryktade fördrag. Det benämndes officiellt Mindre Asien-avtalet men har gått till historien som Sykes-Picot-avtalet, efter den brittiske diplomaten Mark Sykes och hans franske kollega François Georges-Picot. I och med detta kulminerade den uppstyckning av världen i kolonier och intressesfärer som hade eskalerat under andra hälften av 1800-talet och som medförde att engelska och franska i dag är världsspråk. Syftet med 1916 års fördrag var att förebygga framtida gräl kolonialmakterna emellan genom att i förväg stycka upp Osmanska riket, så att man visste vem som skulle ha vad när första världskriget var vunnet. Genom att lova land åt båda folken hade britterna sått ett farligt frö till framtida fejder. Resultatet av överläggningarna, som också Ryssland godkände, gick ut på att Stor­britannien skulle få kontroll över vad som i dag är södra Irak, Jordanien och vissa delar av Palestina, medan fransmännen skulle få Syrien, Libanon, norra Irak och en bra bit av sydöstra Turkiet. Armenien, Konstantinopel och sunden mellan Svarta havet och Medelhavet gick till Ryssland. Man lämnade också utrymme för några internationella zoner, dels i Palestina och dels vid Alexandretta i nuvarande Turkiet. Avtalet låg till grund för uppstyckandet av Mellanöstern i brittiska och franska zoner i början av 1920-talet. Alla berörda utom de europeiska politikerna ignorerades. De sionistiska judarna hade utlovats ett nationellt hem i Palestina som tack för att de stödde Storbritannien i kriget (”Balfour­deklarationen”). Araberna hade också utlovats självständighet som tack för att de gjorde uppror mot turkarna. Genom att lova land åt båda folken hade britterna sått ett farligt frö till framtida fejder, men när avtalet blev offentligt kunde både judar och araber konstatera att de blivit lurade. De europeiska stormaktsledarna hade ingen tanke på att lämna ifrån sig krigsbytet till de människor som bodde i det. Invandringen och bosättningarna resulterade i en växande arabisk vrede, och de båda folken drabbade vid flera tillfällen samman i våldsamma uppgörelser. När Palestina lösgjordes från Osmanska riket blev det alltså varken judiskt eller arabiskt utan brittiskt, men detta hindrade inte de förfördelade från att planera inför framtida självständighet. Under mellankrigstiden immigrerade många sionistiska judar, som drömde om ett nationellt hem i Israel, till området och bosatte sig på marker som man köpt från lokala godsägare. Invandringen och bosättningarna resulterade i en växande arabisk vrede, och de båda folken drabbade vid flera tillfällen samman i våldsamma uppgörelser. Allt detta gjorde britterna – som ju inledningsvis hade godkänt immigrationen till det ”nationella hemmet” – skeptiska gentemot sionisterna, som uppfattades som bråkstakar och potentiella rebeller. Vid tiden för andra världskriget yrkade många brittiska politiker därför på kraftiga begränsningar av judisk invandring. Enligt ett förslag, som vann Londonregeringens gillande, skulle inga få flytta dit efter 1944. Som bekant blev denna politik omöjlig när kriget var slut. Den moraliska indignationen över nazistiska dödsläger som Auschwitz och Treblinka, där sex miljoner judar mist livet, gav sionisterna starkast möjliga vind i seglen, och USA stod på deras sida. Britterna kunde inte stoppa en stor invandringsvåg av statslösa judar som överlevt andra världskriget. Med facit i hand är det lätt att se hur politikerna åtminstone hade kunnat försöka bygga en fredligare framtid. Araberna hade kunnat acceptera 1948 års delning; i så fall hade ett självständigt Palestina med mycket större territorium än den palestinska myndigheten kontrollerar i dag blivit verklighet. Men då glömmer man en gammal latinsk sentens, som för svenskt vidkommande brukar förknippas med Axel Oxenstierna: An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur? – ”Vet du inte, min son, med hur litet förstånd världen styrs?”"

 This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane, along with Jonathan Farrow and Lisa Abramowitz. Join us each day for insight from the best and economics, geopolitics, finance and investment. Subscribe to Bloomberg Surveillance on demand on Apple, Spotify and anywhere you get your podcasts, and always on Bloomberg dot Com, the Bloomberg Terminal, and the Bloomberg Business App. What you need on Jobs Day more Newtonian calculus. We'll do that with Randall Krosner of the Bus School, Chicago, of course, the former Fed governor, one of our great and giant financial economists in America. What's the second derivative of the jobs market look like? Randy? When it moves? Does it move? Ah? And that's the key question exactly what you were talking about. What does this pretend for the trajectory going forward? Certainly we're seeing a slowing pace over the last few months downward revisions. And then the question is will this be nice and smooth or will this pretend something that is going to be As at LISTA mentioned before, nonlinear, very difficult to predict any nonlinear moves and things. But I do think it's consistent with a somewhat softening labor market. I think the FED will certainly be heartened by the wage growth coming down a bit over time. I think this takes the wind of the sales of those who wanted to go further. I think it makes it much more likely that we will just hold where we are for a while. But so far, there's nothing in this to suggest that the FED is going to be eager to cut or be even talking about cutting anytime soon. Do you think, Randy is some people are pointing to manufacturing as a point of weakness, that that is a leading indicator in the way it has been in previous times, just because of how many people were hired during the peak of the pandemic. It is certainly one area that there was a lot of bounce back, because of course people want to things, but now people want services, and so the services part is still extremely important. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on any one particular sector. I think you have to look over overall, and as Mike had said, you know, we're seeing a little bit of slow down broadly, but not enormous amount of slow down. But I do think that is consistent with in somestance where the FED wants to go. They want to see the uneployment rate go up a little bit, not too much. They want to see wage growth come down a little bit, but not too much. And I think it's just going to be tougher to be hiring people going forward. Until just a few months ago, real wages were not growing, they were actually negative. Real wage growth was negative. Now real wage growth is positive, so it gives less of an incentive for firms to hire. Real interest rates are now positive. They had been negative for a very long time. That combination is probably going to lead firms to be less eager to hire, less eager to invest, and I think that's going to be leading to what I think is potentially a hard ish but not hard landing. This is an important jobs report. This November report of the October data just absolutely extraordinary. Randy Krasner, thank you so much, Professor Krasner with the Boost School the University of Chicago. If you're not part of the global Wall Street gang, you've got to understand it's hard to look at the Bloomberg screen and frame it out from where we were two weeks ago, which gets us to canes and when the facts change, I change. Jeffrey Rosenberg studied as Maynard Keynes at Carnegie Mellon. He's a black Rock portfolio manager systematic multi strategy fund for all of us. Jeff Rosenberg, are the facts changing? Great question, Tom. You know, the narrative is changing and the facts are driving that. And so Lisa asked the kind of the key question, You know, how do you rally in front of a slowing labor picture? And that's because it's where we are. Equity markets were weaker while the economy was strengthening, and that was really about the rise in the denominator, in the discount rate and the interest rates. So as you ease off the pressure in terms of the interest rates, there's a little window here where the narrative changes and there's relief because the discount raid is expected to be a bit lower, and you see it in the bond market. But that's about horizon and so the near term horizon narrative will shift, but the longer term horizon about that hardish landing that Randy just mentioned. That'll be for future conversations. Right now, the market's pretty excited about lower discount way, Jeff Rosenberg, people would say, Blackrock is part of that wall of money that's out there. Okay, we got a short cover here, a short cover there, I got futures up eighteen. Rosenberg knows the numbers better than me. Are we underestimating Jeff Rosenberg? How many people here are off sides and need to get in and play? Now? Yeah, you know we talked about this after the FMC. You know, the near term volatility is all about technicals and positioning, and so you're going to have that and you're going to see you're going to see those moves. The longer term positioning is going to be about trajectory and fundamentals. But certainly, you know, after a report that you know pretty much convincingly across the board, as you highlighted earlier, you know, this is a report that helps to support the narrative of slowing in the labor markets, slowing in wage inflation, even though that's a mixed shift probably in the AH number, but across the board, especially with the revisions, you know, it just looks like this is coming in slower, and so that helps to feed the near term narrative that you get to the soft landing. You know, as Randy said, whether it's soft landing or hardish landing or hard landing will remain to be seen. When do you go with groupthink and when do you push back? Right? I mean, when do you go with the crowd if sentiment is shifting and you're seeing people go into risk, if you believe that essentially bad news will be bad news for risk acts. Yeah, you know, it's a lot about kind of what's in the looking at what's in the price, and how much cushion you have against the consensus move and where the asymmetries lie. So I think right now the momentum and the sentiment around soft landing is going to be pretty hard to push back against. But you know, as we see successive waves of data, we got a couple more here in terms of before we get to the December FOMC, there's going to be a little bit of momentum here around the easing off of financial conditions, the easing off of tightening from the FED, and I think that's going to provide a little bit of a tailwind for a short horizon trap. And definitely the momentum tends to overshoot, and there is this feeling that this does set the market up for more fragility heading into a print that could be a big surprise on the downside. Jeff, how much is that sort of the play right now is to lean into the momentum, go at the flow, soft landing. Sure you can celebrate, but the music will stop eventually, and each one of these economics prints are going to have that much more heft and importance in markets. Yeah, and you know, the main issue here is really about long and variable lags. And Tom, I know you hate when every time I say that, but it is where do you see that pressure coming in? Randy talked about the pressure in terms of easing off of hiring because real wages are no longer negative, it's more expensive. You talked about funding costs, and maybe there's a little bit of an opening up in terms of the bond market, but I think you got to remember here, these are much more expensive funding costs. And so if you don't have to issue that debt because you've termed it out, you don't want to issue that debt. And so even though the market may be open, it's at a much higher cost. And that lagged effect of tightening in terms of interest expenses something you know, the market is still going to have to figure out where are the vulnerabilities, and there are vulnerabilities to that impact on Bloomberg Television and radio. Jeffrey Rosenberg with us is Blackrack really timely, and of course we thank him forst fed work as well well. He's going to stay with us at right now, I can't do it to complete data check because Jeff Rosenberg is too important. But Lisa, there's some real nuances here. Futures up nineteen continue to advance down, futures up one thirty nine. Can I get to a VIXA fourteen, I'm not there yet fifteen point two six. As Bramba mentioned, folks a two year yield in thirteen basis points, we continue to see lower yields and a higher prices ten year in his stunning eleven basis points. And just you know, outside the box here, I got weaker dollar, I got euros through one oh seven. I've got yen dynamics, but euro yen. What does the Japanese institutions do this weekend? Off what Jeff Rosenberg says? Because I got euro yin one sixty point zero one. If they're not going to act now, Lisa, when are they going to act. That does raise a good question and Jeff to that point, does the move that we're seeing in the US a sigh of relief open up possible monetary disruption elsewhere hint hind Bank of Japan that could be disruptive on the other side. Yeah, I mean that's a big global story and one we've been talking about for a while waiting for. We got a little bit of it in terms of changing the definition of yield curve control, and there's an expectation that there's going to be more. And there's an incredible amount of fiscal stimulus coming out of Japan that is really going to push the BOJ even further. And so that's been a global impact. It's dampening term premium It's part of the term premium steepening story. You know, the refunding you know, certainly is pushed back on that and positioning you know, a bit off sides for that surprise somewhat surprise refunding. But really the big story there is going to be global term premium steepening and that's I think long term going to come back to the US. But near term this is going to be about softish landing and slowing of the Fed, and the market is going to run with that. We're looking right now at two year yields just tanking. I mean, honestly, this is quite a move fifteen bas points nearly from top to bottom in this trading session as people parse through this, Jeff just want to finish up with the Fed's reaction function, this concept of what it takes for the Federal Reserve to cut rates. Right now, there is base into the markets in real time, a sense that they will be cutting rates in much sooner than they're saying. Do you think that's accurate that the bar to cut rates has somehow come in as a result of just the general feeling and the public and the lack of willingness to tolerate much higher on employment rates. Well, it's tricky, Lisa. I mean, I think the reaction you're getting right now pricing out the kind of probabilities, the limited probabilities of the last hike. Right. So, you know, you go back to Wednesday, and you know you remember the question, and you know you talked about we're not even you know, talking about cutting rate now. Obviously the market is because the market is looking forward here. I think you got to see a lot more development on the inflation side before you get there. And then the other the problem we're going to talk about, I think is the reflexivity. I think you mentioned it is that you know, well, we the FED could do less because the market's doing more. But the more the market does more in terms of using financial conditions, the more then the Fed has to do. So you kind of get yourself chasing your own tail around that story in terms of whether they can cut. So it will come back to does the inflation really fall fast enough to that two percent level that gets real interest rates high enough that gets them concerned that they're too tight where they really need to deliver those cuts, and that I think is still way out into the future. And Lisa, where do you get to show where jeff Rosenberg channels George Soros on reflexivity. I mean, there's nowhere else in the world you can have this much fun. Jeffrey Rosenberg, thank you so much for joining us. That's the way it works, folks. The street only focuses on revenue dynamics, and if they're brave, they go down the income statement and they'll find that and then it's what I call concept concept concept China, worry, worry, worry, yep iPhone worry where iPads omg and thank god. Gen Monster, with all of his work on Apple and technology, says, you know, maybe they're rock solid. Maybe they're running this thing for profit. Gene. I saw a record third quarter gross margin. I saw the persistency of services maintained, and critically, I saw cash generation in the gloom of Apple this morning. The second guessing, is there free cash flow growth going to EBB. No, Tom, I think it's just going to flow and flow higher. And ultimately they showed, as you said, some of the most impressive margins, most impressive gross margins that they've ever printed a mikeed environment where component costs are rising, of labor costs, shipping costs, all of that, and they've been maintaining price that shows operation efficiency. That's what drives free cash flow. And you said it right. One big X factor around free cash flow that we've observed with big tech over the last nine months is they all say we're going to be investing more into AI. Tim Cook talks about that but says he wants to do it responsibly, which means he wants to protect margins and do that that is a unique perspective. John from his house, looking down on the Helix and New Jersey emails in and says, is it a time to buy Apple? If there's all this worry about legitimate things like China, is gene monster saying load the boat. So this is not investment advice, but I do think that this is a time to own Apple. And ultimately is you have to play this picture forward for one, two and five years. And what we've seen in the near term is that the importance of their devices in our lives are central and that shows up and effectively. The guidance I think it's misunderstood is for seven percent growth, up from one percent last quarter. So that's the baseline. The second is just the opportunity that they have to continue to sell that engage base more products. And third is that they have opportunities to go into new markets, whether it be spatial computing or what potentially could come out of automotive. And so I think when you put all this together, this is a unique dynamic and I think that this will power shares higher in the years to come. Paul, you know this. I mean you've lived this where you're like, is it a twelve week quarter, thirteen week quarter of fourteen week quarter. I mean it's like death exactly. Hey, Gene, you know, going into the quarter, the pundits were saying, you know, the primary focus is going to be China. So let's approach that from the perspective of competition. Talk to us about the Huawei phone. How much of a competitor is that. How much is a concern about nationalism weighing on potentially future demand for Apple products. So the first is the Huawei phone that's picked up a lot of traction during the quarter, a lot of speculation this was going to weigh on the China numbers, and China was down two percent year over year, at a similar rate that it was down back in March when before the new Wuahwei phones came out. It was down seven percent December of twenty twenty two, and so it fluctuates as the bottom line, China's up and down, and I don't think that the Huawei phone is having an impact. Apple gained share in China in the September quarter, and Huawei may have gained share too, But Apple is gaining share, and so I think that it is not having an impact on their business. And if you look at their China business, and I look at this on excluding the FX on a constant currency basis, it was up four percent. I'm reluctant to do that because I want to give but it's worth noting that China's doing okay for Apple. Yeah, Paul, Code of the day, Aniograna genius. Apple has eighteen percent one eight eighteen percent of the unit installed base. And yet you just heard g monsters say they're gaining share in the training share. All right, let's go to the other side of the income statement. There a gene on the cost side here. I guess you know, when I look at the operations of Apple, I just don't see any scenarre where the d couple from China. Now, they can, I guess, reduce to some extent their dependency on sourcing and manufacturing in China, but they really can't decouple. So did how do investors, long term investors like you get comfortable with that side of the equation. I don't think you do. And I think that I mentioned everything is good in China. I was talking about on the consumer side. I think on the production manufacturing side, it's a different story. And the story is that Apple needs to get out of China or at least reduce its exposure. Right now, we estimate that about forty to forty five percent of their revenue is manufactured in China. Now it's down from sixty percent a few years ago, so they've been reducing their exposure there. But the bottom line is that I don't think investors until that number gets down to twenty percent, I don't think investors are going to rest easy because this is as a geopolitical element to it and is a wild card when it comes to some of the confidence that investor have in the company's ability to produce products to meet this sensational demand and gene does a company have a strategy or are they articulating any confidence that they can in fact get down to that twenty or twenty five percent exposure they do, it's predominantly India. India's right now about two percent of their production, and they've talked about ramping production there and so it'll go tell a lot of other areas, even like you probably will see something in Mexico in the next five years too. Jane, quickly here services up sixteen percent. It's a persistent vector. Do you have a terminal rate on services or does it just grow out, you know, until Frozen eight comes out for Disney. I mean, you know, does it just go out forever. It's gonna keep going out forever because they have pricing leverage. It's not just in what they've raised the pricing with Apple TV Plus, but they raise pricing with the storage. You get those notifications. They raise it at buck a month. You don't think much about it, but that's a fifteen percent increase. And so I think that this business is generally a ten percent growing business for the foreseeable future, which can put three to five years ten seconds. Gene Monster, what's your terminal some of the parts on Apple right now? Some of the parts some of the parts is two forty And I think that's based on as we think about just ultimately what they can earn in twenty twenty five, Gene Munster. Not investment advice, but that's where we're at. It's not investment advice. But Tucker's got his by order out right now. G Muster, thank you so much. Luke Vencha. Well, let's say the show now. You can always do that with anarog Rana. He is truly expert on the cloud and has a partial interest in an Apple computer as well, Anna Regan, why you to explain to the audience how a tech company runs their company for profit versus running it just at the top line. To me, Apple is a profit cast generating juggernaut. Why is that so odd, so strange? Yeah, I think that goes back to the foundation of the company. It really believes in having high margin products. It does not believe in gaining market share. You know, even after all these years, it has only eighteen percent of the unit market share of smartphones around the world. It can completely change that overnight if they drop the price of the phone, but they will never do that because they believe in gross margins more than anything else. Over time, they will gain enough market share in every market. But this is not something that they do is try to gain market share just for the same It's the journey on a rag. As you know. Before we start talking about lower prices, can we talk about the absence of higher prices? Have they lost pricing power? No? No, I don't think so. The problem over here is people are keeping their phones for a longer period of time. If you are keeping it, let's say for an average three point six years before, you're probably keeping closer to four years. So what that does is it just elongates the time it takes for you to refresh your phones or for that bat at any other product. So I don't think it has nothing to do with the pricing power. The Promax is unbelievably expensive compared to the older models, and it's doing very well. Clearly the revenue mixed growth shift is moving towards services and IRAQ. How does that change your approach to value in this company? Yeah, I mean it has been a true surprise to see that number grow still in double digits. I expected that to be back into the high single digits by now. It has a high gross margin. It has a seventy percent plus gross margin compared to products, which is in the thirties. So over time, when you see the revenue mix shift towards services, you can expect the overall company gross margins to trend up inch, you know, inch by inch growing up, and we have seen that already in the last few years. Anor do you think that analysts are overplaying or underplaying the declines that we saw in China? I think you have to sit down and think what kind of company this is and I think this is really evident, and you know, I've discussed this with Tom and Paul many times, that this is not a company that's going to grow sales in double digits. This is at best, at this point, you know, mid to high single digit company. And I think people are getting used to that fact. Yesterday when they guide it for December quarter, which the estimate was it's going to grow about five percent, they said about flatish sales, and that's when the stock drop. I think people need to come to that point that you know, refresch cycles are going up and it's going to be a time before things are going to grow at that same pace, which then leads to a question of how much growth, how much future growth is baked into the valuation of the company that's seen a thirty seven percent rally. You're todate, Yeah, I think valuation is something that we talk about a lot with investors, and you know, sometimes you have to really ask yourself is this a technology company or this is a consumer stables company, Because if you take the heart of a consumer stables company, you know, something like a Coca Cola or a Costco, then you see things with a very different lens because those companies also are not growing, you know, eight to ten percent top line. Ana, I want to look at something beneath the radar. This week, it's a Friday, and in the world of Microsoft is a different Friday. It's a copilot Friday. What is the importance of this announcement that Microsoft's making where we actually do AI with a modeled marketed program for global corporations. What does co pilot mean to Microsoft? So, copilots is basically an AI tool that goes with your original software package. In the case of Microsoft, it's launched that with their Office Suite, which started setting yesterday. It's about thirty dollars per user per month, and they're hoping that, you know, the serious worker in the office that's probably somewhere in one hundred and fifteen million to two hundred million people around the world that currently use the Office Suite will opt some portion of that will opt for this particular feature to help gain productivity. Copilot can also be used in writing software. So it is just a tool that everybody has. They are the first ones to come out with it at such aggressive face. What's your prediction on this? I mean, come on, you've nailed the cloud. You got a cloud view out three years or five years, which is just absolutely remarkable. What is your prediction on how copilot will will do? I think, and I argue it's going to be very slow and steady because the thirty dollars per user, you know, per month is a very steep price. We think, you know, adoption rate is not going to be more than three to five percent in the first year of coming out, so you know, perhaps at two to three billion dollar upside on that. On the on the software coding side of it, which is getthub co Pilot, we think the adoption rate is going to be very high, you know, close to seventy five percent, because I don't see any developer out there that can afford to right code without this tool right next to them. And Rex, thank you, sir. In Washington, Terry Haynes joins US now founder of pengea policy Terry with great cheer for the exhaustion of our secretary straight. Does Shuttle diplomacy for Blincoln work like Shuttle diplomacy worked for Kissinger? I think it's very different for a couple of reasons, one of one of which is kind of bubbling under here. You know, Blincoln's mission this time, as opposed to the last few times, is designed to try to get to try to convince the Israeli government of some kind of pause or humanitarian something like that. And it calls into question a couple of things. It calls into question the degree to which the United States continues to support the current Israeli government. The Biden aids are running around Washington briefing against net Nyau right now. And Secondly, it calls into question whether or not and to what extent the US still supports the Israel's war aims in Gaza, and that's a concern. All this also complicates the Israel the Israeli aid package, because Congress is not going to pass the Israel package if they don't clearly understand what administration policy is. So we've got a lot of a lot of problems here that complicate Lincoln's mission. Terry, unfair question, but I got to go there. It isn't the zeitgeist end of the weekend as well. Then you were there with Lord Kitchener and Mark Sykes when they divided up the Middle East after World War One. I understand that all of a sudden we're talking about a partition of God, we saw a partition of Vietnam, a partition of Korea. Is that the easy way out here is whatever this word means, A partition of the Gaza strip. Yeah, there's a partition, and you know, it's kind of international administration or all the phrases that go together. These are phrases that go back, as you quite quite rightly point out to post World War One League of Nations mandate style governance, and and they tend to bury the harder realities, which are then the nature of the terrorist organizations, the nature of their funding, and you know what sorts of proxies they are, and they tend to bury, you know, kind of kind of regional responsibility for the problem. And all those are going to have to be dealt with, and you know, we haven't even started to deal with any of those yet. Terry, what do you make about the strife within the Republican Party stemming from Senator Tuberville of Alabama, this idea that he will stall with the affirmation the confirmation of some of the military promotions at a time of expanding conflict overseas well. You know, I'd give you two points about that. One is that it is obviously providing some strife within the military. And at the same time, the Senator says directly, and to my knowledge, has never been countermanded, that he wants to have a dialogue with the Department of Defense about all this stuff and come to some sort of resolution, and that he's not got it. What I think is going to end up happening is this gets resolved somehow in the defense spending legislation that comes up by about the end of the year. One way or another, this is going to get dealt with in the next two months. There was a resolution that passed the House offering support to Israel, but also tying it to cuts to the IRS, which some have suggested would actually cause a bigger deficit because it would reduce tax revenues that the US government gets. Does this progress the issue or actually push it back in terms of the debate, Well, two things. One is that the you know, only in Washington, would the I R S get beyond being rough here, would get eighty billion more dollars and then have it cut by fourteen and have that considered by anybody to be a cut in IRS spending. You know, But there you are Secondly, I think the funding is the help is really is funded is almost beside the point. The bigger problem that we have right now really is this. You know, you ran Admiral Kirby and your lead in Admiral Kirby says that the administration has four priorities and they all need to get dealt with together. Well, these are Biden's priorities. These are Biden's foreign policy. Biden's going to have to get all this stuff done and in a way that funded properly, and right now, whatever else Secretary Blincoln's doing. The apparent change in Biden policy towards Israel is making that more difficult because now Congress doesn't understand exactly what Biden's foreign policy is. Hey, Terry, great to get your input as always, Terry Hanks there of Panchaea policy. Subscribe to the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast on Apple, Spotify and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Listen live every weekday starting at seven am Eastern. I'm Bloomberg dot Com, the iHeartRadio app, tune In, and the Bloomberg Business app. You can watch us live on Bloomberg Television and always I'm the Bloomberg terminal. Thanks for listening. I'm Tom Keen, and this is BloombergSee

Mark Sykes met the media ahead of City's home fixture with Stoke City in the Sky Bet Championship.The Irish midfielder discussed targeting the next three game, having a hand in Jason Knight's recruitment and much more!

A game much like Hull last week where City dominated despite going a goal behind but this time they won. Mark Sykes had one of his best games in a City shirt as he scored the equaliser with an exquisite left foot shot before setting up Sam Bell for the winner and what will be a major boost to his confidence after a stuttering start to the season. DaveP is joined by Ian, Mark & Lez in reviewing the match action which included stand out performances by Joe Williams and Duracell Bunny [for all his running], Jason Knight.  Discussion also moves to the hot topic of the week on all social media platforms which is the unexplained tightening of the purse strings by the owner and how Nige is being left on his own in facing the media with zero communication coming from elsewhere within the club

Et si la Méditerranée comme concept était une construction des pays du Nord; leur représentation d'un ensemble s'appuyant sur leur histoire coloniale? La Méditerranée comme élément de cohésion est présentée comme une référence de l'action publique européenne en direction des pays riverains, mais cette représentation relève-t-elle d'un mythe? Pour certains, la rhétorique des discours de l'Europe sur la Méditerranée semble manquer singulièrement de sens pour la rive sud. Avec Jean-Yves Moisseron, socio-économiste, directeur de recherches à l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, rédacteur en chef de la revue Maghreb-Machrek, au micro de Laurent Huguenin-Elie.

Quatre ans plus tôt, le 16 novembre 1916, deux diplomates, le Britannique sir Mark Sykes et le Français François Georges-Picot concluent l'accord secret "Sykes-Picot". Celui-ci prévoit le partage, au terme de la Première Guerre mondiale, des dépouilles de l'empire ottoman, allié de l'Allemagne et de l'Autriche-Hongrie.

In the second year of the Great War, the British began to consider the future of the Middle East once the Ottoman Empire had been defeated. The Ottomans were proving to be far more effective fighters than the British had anticipated, but the discovery of oil at Mosul had made the control of the Middle East a priority. Prime Minister David Lloyd George summoned Sir Mark Sykes, a British diplomat and explorer to demonstrate how British and French ambitions in the region could both be accomodated. This is the first of several podcasts on the division of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory. Hosted on Acast.

Durante los años posteriores a la Primera Guerra Mundial surgieron nuevos países en el Medio Oriente, resultado de la derrota del imperio otomano en manos de los británicos y franceses, principalmente. La moderna Turquía y las fronteras para Siria, Líbano, Palestina, Irán y eventualmente Jordania fueron trazadas. Gran Bretaña y Francia ganaron el control de las regiones árabes del Medio Oriente y África del Norte. Antes de la guerra, ambos poderes tenían sus ojos puestos en el Medio Oriente como un área de interés político y comercial. En mayo de 1916, el diplomático británico, Sr. Mark Sykes, y el ex cónsul francés en Beirut, Charles George Picot, negociaron un tratado secreto para dividir los territorios otomanos entre sus dos países. Gran Bretaña, que controlaba el Canal de Suez por su presencia en Egipto desde 1881, estaba muy interesada en proteger el comercio entre Europa e India y acceder al petróleo en el Golfo Pérsico. Francia quería preservar su larga historia de vínculos con Siria y el Líbano y mantener el acceso al suministro barato de algodón y seda de la región. El Acuerdo Sykes-Picot fue ratificado y aceptado por la Liga de las Naciones. Gran Bretaña tomó el control de Palestina, Irak y Transjordania, y Francia tomó control de Siria, y después del Líbano.

Inbördeskriget i Syrien har pågått i tio år. Konfliktens ursprung går att spåra till Frankrikes hårdhänta kolonialpolitik under 1900-talets första hälft. Gränserna var dragna helt utan hänsyn till historien och de olika folkgrupper som levde i det franska protektoratet. Dessutom verkade Frankrikes kolonialherrar utifrån principen söndra och härska.Efter självständigheten år 1946 lämnade Frankrike efter sig en dysfunktionell stat där militärkupperna avlöste varandra tills Hazef al-Asad skapade Mellersta Österns hårdaste diktatur. En diktatur där korruptionen genomsyrade alla nivåer av samhället.Det kalla kriget cementerade sedan en regim som saknade en bredare folklig förankring. Utanför kalla krigets ramar levde etniska och religiösa motsättningar kvar för att senare förstärkas av områdes stormakter.I avsnitt 170 podcasten Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Tomas Andersson samt författaren Stefano Foconi. Tillsammans har de skrivit en rad böcker om Mellersta Östern, bland annat Levanten - Mellersta Östern utan gränser samt I skuggan av muren – Israel/PalestinaSommaren år 2011 utvecklades protester mot regimen i Syrien till ett regelrätt inbördeskrig.Trots att det styrande Baathpartiet är sekulärt kom konflikten att brytas mellan shia och sunni då regimen dominerades av den shiitiska sekten alawiter.Syrien artificiella gränser skapades av de europeiska kolonialmakterna genom en hemlig del av Sykes-Picot-avtalet som slöts 16 maj 1916 mellan Frankrike och Storbritannien, och som godkändes av Ryssland senare samma år. Det franska mandet Syrien kom att utgöras av dagens Syrien, Libanon samt den turkiska Hatayprovinsen. Det som senare blev Syrien hade aldrig tidigare existerat som en självständig stat.Under Frankrike som styrde enligt principen söndra och härska tvingades en blandning av olika religiösa och etniska grupper ihop. Frankrike gav makten till den alawitiska minoriteten vilket ledde till sekteristiska spänningar.De flesta syrier är sunniaraber, men landet styrs sedan en statskupp år 1963 av medlemmar av den alawitiska minoriteten. Den alawitiska regeringen ger den egna etniska gruppen särskilda privilegier, en maktfördelning som eldar på missnöjet hos missgynnade grupper som sunniaraber och etniska minoriteter som kurder och kristna araber. Dessutom är många syriska städer och samhällen redan organiserade i etniska eller religiösa enklaver, vilket innebär att lokala miliser också är sekteristiska, något som kan förklara varför så stor del av dödandet i Syrien har utvecklats längs sekteristiska linjer.Musik: Arabic Instrumental av MEDIA-MUSIC GROUP, Soundblock Audio Bild: Karta från Sykes–Picot avtalet som visar britternas och fransmännens intresseområde.

Brooklyn-based artist Nealy Hauschildt joins us on the Classical Post Podcast and here's some of the things discussed. Style icons: Miles Redd (for his use of color), Mark Sykes (for his traditional interiors mixed with antiques and floral prints), McGrath 2. Recommended online store: Coco Shop Recommended product: Supergoop (sunscreen) Dream day: All-day beach day, picnic, lots of friends and family, bonfire, and stay for the whole day! Happy place: Nantucket What does success mean to Nealy? Following your gut. As long as you're happy doing what you're doing. Her artistry: Painting is tied to nature, color, psychology, and how these make you feel. Where to find her art: The Collective in Dallas, Texas. Her art is coming soon to a gallery in New York. Learn more at nealyhstudio.com. Instagram @nealy.hauschildt -- Born and raised outside of Boston, MA, Nealy received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has been selected for publications such as CandyFloss Magazine, and is part of private art collections across the country. Nealy's work explores our personal relationship with nature through color, line, and form. Employing a range of mediums, her style is highly expressive. Using luminous watercolor washes and gestural pastels, she aims to capture the shifting light, colors, and shapes of our environment. As planned as it is exploratory, Nealy's process begins with intentional compositions, leaving room for the natural tendency of the medium to evolve on page. Nealy hopes for her work to provide a moment of reflection, a moment of escape; to reconnect us with land, sea, and sky and the feelings we experience when surrounded by nature.

It's Saturday the 20th March 2021. In today's post match pod we are joined by Oxford fan Adam Strand who's going to help us analyse Blackpool's FOURTH away win on the bounce, this time, a fine two-nil win at the Kassam Stadium. First Half Hectic start to the match, with ‘Pool pressing from the off, for once! 5 - KK long range shot 7 - Tricky Brandon Barker run past Turton, crosses into Maxwell chest. 9 - Dougal blazes over 14 - Great bending corner from KK, headed off line from Ballard header. Sykes clears off the line. 15 - GOAL! Dougal. Corner from Garbutt, cleared, headed back in from KK, on by Thorniley and finished by Dougal. 20 - Another dangerous Barker run down the left, caused havoc in Blackpool box. Ex Rangers man looks a threat. Great high pressing from Bllackpool in first half of first half 27 - Mark Sykes drills a great shot just wide. 30 - Ward ‘cross/shot' goes out for a throw in from great counter attack 35 - Gorrins misplaced pass, KK intercepts and curls it just wide. Should have hit the target 42 - GOAL! Ballard. Another beautiful inswinging KK corner, powered in by Ballard. Best half of the season by Blackpool that. Letting Oxford defence have the ball then high pressing their midfield and refusing to let them play making them go long. Second Half 46 - ‘Pool counter, KK cross caused havoc, Atkinson keeps ball off the line by falling on the ball 47 - Ox then counter with Shadipo firing straight at Maxwell - should have done better as it opened up for him 55 - Shadipo great chance. 4 v 2 break and should have scored. Great block from Garbutt. 57 - Embleton drags one just wide after good work on the right, lacking in power though 59 - KK slotted in from Yates, KK dinks but Stevens saves after quickly coming off his line 70 - Embleton 1-2 with Yates, Stevens tips over, great save 75 - Ageyi drills shot in, straight at Maxwell. Oxford pressing now and looking dangerous. 80 - Barkers dangerous clipped cross from the by-line, headed wide by Agi. 82 - Gabriel played in at angle, shot tipped round from Stevens for a corner. ‘Pool in control of the match last ten minutes of the match, keeping the ball in their half 88 - Gabriel bursts into box put pokes it over with his right foot. Should have taken it on his left maybe. SIX minutes of added time?!!!

Brexit - A Child of the DUP.I have been watching the machinations of the DUP over the Article 16 carry on. TSo, what's it all about? For me it's very simple. Brexit is a child of the DUP. The DUP were hell bound for Brexit. They disregarded all advice and suggestions from all quarters about the likely consequences. Now they complain. Very much like someone jumping into a lake and then complaining about being wet. So lets be  clear. Who  has the responsibility for the current Brexit difficulties? The Democratic Unionist Party.That's who! Lets keep reminding them and the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist people of this indisputable fact.Anger at attack on victims and survivorsThe media has been filled with the images around the deeply unacceptable interference and thuggery of a PSNI patrol when it attacked a commemoration by the families of those who had lost loved ones in the mass murder attack by the UDA on Graham's bookies in February 1992.Video footage of the event showed disturbing evidence of a heavy handed PSNI intervention.This resulted in relatives being left deeply distressed and one man Mark Sykes – who was shot seven times in the original 1992 attack – being manhandled by the PSNI, handcuffed and arrested. The video footage and the actions of the PSNI have caused widespread and justifiable anger.

On the 5th of February 1992, five  people were brutally murdered, with a further seven  injured in a massacre carried out by the UDA.   Each year the relatives and friends and the local community hold a remembrance ceremony at the site of the attack. This year, in keeping with Covid restrictions only relatives attended. They wore masks and were socially distanced.Video footage of the event shows disturbing evidence of a heavy handed PSNI intervention. This resulted in relatives being left deeply distressed and one man Mark Sykes – who was shot four times in the original 1992 attack – being manhandled by the PSNI, handcuffed and arrested. The video footage and the actions of the PSNI have caused widespread and justifiable anger.Those of you who are familiar with this sad story will know that the Police Ombudsman's report into the original mass killing has been delayed.This has been in part because information relating to the 1992 attack, that had never been disclosed to the Police Ombudsman's investigation, was discovered on PSNI computers. So the PSNI had information about the massacre under their computers and this was not given to the Police Ombudsman.
