Hi, I'm Stephen Carroll.

And I'm Caroline Hepka here to introduce you to a podcast that brings you the news you need to start your day in just 15 minutes.

It's called Bloomberg Daybreak Europe Edition, covering all the top stories across Europe and around the world.

Each weekday morning, we're up early to bring you the latest news by 7am.

We've got everything you need to know from geopolitics

and global events to economics and what's moving markets. I'm covering it all from London.

And I'm in the EU's capital Brussels. We have 3,000 journalists and analysts around the world

to tell you what's happening, what it means and why it matters. It's more than just business

headlines, from the price of your

breakfast to global shifts in power. Economics and money aren't just part of the story. They're

often the driving force. So start your day with us on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe Edition for the

news you need to know and the context to make sense of it. Find new episodes of Bloomberg Daybreak

Europe edition by 7 a.m. London Time on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Radio News.
