and mr branson was quick to congratulate mr bezos today — tweeting here's what mr bezos had to say forey were dramatically exceeded! we were talking about this a little bit in the car right on the way back and, i don't know, the zero g may have been one of the biggest surprises to me because it felt so normal. it, almost like we were as humans evolved to be in the environment, which i know is impossible. don't forget, there's also elon musk, founder of the company, spacex, who hopes to make his mark in commercial space travel in time, too. there are many people, however, who are sceptical of what these men are doing. this is the headline of a washington post article from this weekend. the article goes on to make the point that, that's echoed by the head of the un world food programme, who tweeted last month... mr bezos addressed this criticism on monday, saying... here's what one expert thinks about that. the big picture is that this flight will create technologies that will help life on earth and in the longer term, they will enable the human species to be interplanetary. earlier, we

your thoughts on mr. bezos and space. moment. >> this is a story that started years ago when he spent time with his grandparents at their ranch in south texas. he got the space bug watching the apollo moon landing. he gave a speech at his high school. he was the valedictorian -- about space travel. he has been consistent with division. the speech was about opening the space frontier, having humans living and working in space. today is the first step on the journey. he founded blue origin 2000. the company has not had a lot of success to show for it. they are working on orbital rockets, moon landers, often in competition with spacex. this is an important step for bezos and for blue origin. jonathan: i am trying to be transparent and balanced about the moment we are in. tom and myself get a lot of criticism for covering an event like this. jeff bezos has taken a lot of criticism about it. how has he confronted this issue as he makes these kinds of steps forward? >> he has ignored it. he is someone who probably has pretty th

tom: which is more risky, a plane and a detachment from a plane, or the rocketry of mr. bezos?as certainly tense, but the delivery mechanism had a number eight of failsafes -- had a number of failsafes. it can be cut off at any time. it can glide back to earth. at 50 miles you are still within the earth's gravitational pull. blasting yourself into space and a rocket is more risky. anyone in the aerospace industry will tell you that. there are fewer opportunities to abort. the safety mechanisms are different. richard branson had a lot of training for that mission and i'm told by sources jeff bezos is also going through very specific training. lisa: it is an incredible feat and a wonderful experience to be able to fulfill a dream of being weightless. there is also a business case for this. what is that business case in terms of space tourism for the likes of richard branson? ed: it is a very narrow product. $250,000 a seat for four minutes of weightlessness. i spoke to the virgin galactic ceo. he does say there is a market. there are enough people willing to part with that amount

you have a special relationship with mr. bezos. i want you to describe the amount of focus mr. blue origin. is it1/3 of his time -- is it 1/3 of his time? is it half of his time? emily: it is everything he's doing for the next two hours, that is for sure. we are almost an hour from launch. no indication that this will be delayed. we are on schedule for 8:30 a.m. central time, lifting off. it has been increasingly more of his time. what people don't know is that he founded this company 21 years ago. this is a long time dream in the making. and finally, he's hoping today that that dream will come true. it is just a couple of weeks after stepping down officially as ceo of amazon. tom: this is a single stage rocket, 60 feet tall, and it is the first stage of the glenn program. in two or three years, what will mr. bezos be doing in space? emily: he could be flying in orbital mission in space on the new rocket that origin is working on right now. the rocket he will be on today is the new shepard rocket, just going up and down. this is basically just a show of the technology for propo

so i think that's good investors like the fact that there's two smart guys running the show and mr. bezos who created what is obviously one of the great american corporate success stories is still involved, but you know, there's no doubt that the change that jeff bezos is firmly in control from at least going to the bankers and people i talk to who are close to mr. bezos. one other interesting thing today, liz, as it applies to amazon and tech in general. as we were first to report, the anti-trust chief of the department of justice was coming down, that biden was going to pick somebody, the two people in the running was carl racine, the d.c. attorney general whose a critic of amazon , the other one was a private attorney named jonathan canter, who brought a pretty big case against google. the job just went to canter. he's a fierce critic of google, really tough on anti-trust and i'll tell you, this is going to be a big problem for bezos and jassy going forward and google. you have lina khan at the f t c, mr. kanter at the doj, people populating the biden regulatory apparatus who don't com

tom: what is important here is mr. bezose approaching the carmen line where they go into space. there is no lift. the algebra here, to great respect for our economics and finance that we take seriously here, that equation on radio, let me say for radio, it is the equilibrium point where the plane starts going down. you've got to worry about other things like orbit. so they go up, and they are not going into orbit. jonathan: some people very concerned about where the share price might be, so i will bring that to them. i think we were up a little more than 5% on virgin the lack this morning. i don't think it is going to move the dial here too much for bezos. jonathan: we are doing great, i promise you. lisa? lisa: i am just inking about the fact that people want to say they have been to space, and people really want to achieve their dreams. you spoke about -- you talk about space tourism. what is the achievement they want? jonathan: the view of the planet. lisa: so that is what is going to count as getting to space. if you sta

mr bezos had this to say after landing back on earth.they say this, it changes them and they look at it and they are amazed and awestruck by the earth and its beauty but also by its fragility. and i can vouch for that. when i looked out, we were seeing this and moving around the planet in our normal ways, the atmosphere is so gigantic and we are these tiny things in the atmosphere is so big but when you get up above it what you see is it�*s actually incredibly thin. if this tiny fragile thing and as we move about the planet to be damaging it. this latest rocket launch comes little more more than a week after fellow billionaire richard branson�*s own trip to the edge of space. the british entrepreneur flew high above new mexico in the us in a vehicle his company has been developing for the last 17 years. and mr branson was quick to congratulate mr bezos today — tweeting " well done. very best to all the crew from me and all the team." don�*t forget, there�*s also elon musk, founder of the company spacex, who hopes to make his mark in comm

branson is frontrunning mr. bezos? romaine: well, mr. scheduled flight was after bezos , but now it is this coming sunday, so there does appear to be a little bit of one-upsmanship among the two, two of the richest people out there. matt: i have to say come in either one of them is going into orbit, nor are they getting out. so what is the deal? romaine: i believe they will stay strapped in. but it is technically space, matt. once you get above the atmosphere. tom: to be honest, i think i was sick. i did a fair is the day that john glenn orbited three times -- a ferris buehler the day that john glenn orbited three times. before that was alan shepard, going up just like you say, not getting into orbit. but there is the telemetry of getting someone up safely, and just as important, they've got to -- it is not like walking down mount marcy in upstate new york. you've got to come back. matt: didn't red bull send somebody up to the carbon line, and they jumped out with a parachute? a lot of people can go up that high. kailey leinz's dad is a f

a gentleman on twitter corrects us, and that the 28 year elevations of pilots is still way below mr. bezos mr. branson will fly into orbit. matt: i got a lot of pushback on my red bull comment as well. i think it wasn't scientifically correct. i believe bezos is going to go 62 miles up, and it looks like branson is only going to go 55 miles. tom: tom: good morning. bloomberg surveillance. jonathan ferro, lisa abramowicz, tom keene. they are off. holding me off, romaine bostick and matt miller. romaine bostick back from massachusetts and matt miller in berlin. very exciting day. i thought it would be a snooze fest. remain, help me with the data. romaine: the nasdaq composite, right now futures up .1%, a similar story for the russell. flat on the day. a lot of the tech names and the nasdaq, a lot of the energy names in the russell, that is why you're getting a pop. what will sway the market, we will see what happens when it opens. what happens with the chinese adrs in the u.s. companies linked. tom: inflation-adjusted yield a stunning -.95. to see a negative 1.00 would be something really pu

i spoke to him about what motivates mr bezos. this is his passion.go to space for a long time, but his real goal is to build an infrastructure so one day humanity can move to space, he envisions trillions of human beings living in space colonies and this very small step, this little suborbital flight, he thinks is a significant one to begin the journey of getting us off the earth. which is obviously a very worthy ambition, i guess, for many people, but at the same time, we can't get away from it, here is another billionaire, money to burn and there is this massive, it feels like a rivalry going on as to who'll be the first to get so far, who will be the first to do this and that. that must be part of what is driving him? well, it's kind of interesting. he has expressed the view and i think it's sincere, what he wants is an entire industry to spring up around space, better to achieve that goal however he is a very competitive person, you look at the way amazon operates. and the fact there's someone else who is competing with him sort of gets up his co

the agency said it was aware of mr. bezos�*s offer, but a spokesperson declined to comment further. she pledged to build bridges across the diverse backgrounds and cultures in canada at a time when the country is reckoning with its past. courtney bembridge reports. do you swear that you will well and truly serve her majesty queen elizabeth ii in the office of keeper of the great seal of canada? i do. with those two simple words, history was made and mary simon became canada's first indigenous governor—general. today is an important and historic day for canada. but my story to these chambers began very far from here. i was born maryjeannie may in arctic quebec, now known as nunavut. my inuktitut name is ningiukudluk and, prime minister, it means �*bossy little old lady'. she will serve as the official representative of queen elizabeth, canada's head of state. she's already had a virtual appointment with the monarch, but it comes at a time when the country is grappling with its colonial past. this year, hundreds of unmarked graves have been found at former residential schools where in

mr bezos�*s own journey is scheduled for the following week.me what commercial space flight travel will involve. it's going to be many different things. in the case of sir richard branson's trip, which will act to go beyond the edge of space, they will cross nasa's official definition of space, 50 miles up, they will be carrying passengers in the future who want to basically see the planet earth from space. they will also be carrying scientists who want to do experiments in microgravity during a suborbital flight experiments in microgravity during a suborbitalflight and experiments in microgravity during a suborbital flight and they will be carrying experiments for nasa. they carrying experiments for nasa. they carry them on most of the recent test flights. in addition to that, you have the new commercial space loans companies launching satellites and technology into space such as virgin orbit and spacex and they are able to launch satellites more conveniently and cheaply than ever before which is causing an industrial revolution in space and t

what are you looking forward to as we get mr. bezos alongside his brother, 82-year-old, not a teenager going to space. tom: the author of space was so angry that everybody thought this was a lark. anytime you put anybody on top of liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen, bad things can happen. what is needed is the safe return of these four individuals. jonathan: you are taking this a lot more seriously. tom: i can bore everybody with a history of this, but what is needed is to understand that this is physics, science, and there is some real danger involved. these are all people -- there is risk starting at 8:30 a.m. jonathan: can we talk about the 82-year-old? that is the most awesome story. kailey: i am not sure if i would be willing to go to space at 82 years old, but for her, it has been a very long time coming. when blue origin made this announcement that she would be going, i felt a sense of pride for her. the age differential, 18 years old and you are already going up into space. i am not sure how your life can get any letter than t

steve: in 2019, mr. bezosley: i know, i'm kidding. steve: you know what that's not fair. if they pull out that's exactly. ainsley: so he's only going to be in space for 13 minutes? steve: yeah it's really fast. ainsley: and then they come right back? brian: 11 minute flight, three minutes of weightlessness, and they come back down with a parachute and right away they queue up to get ready with this new glenn space ship. steve: yeah, 11 minutes in all, ascending to that 62-mile height and release the capsule into space and then the capsule plummets to earth, like the falcon 9 and that rocket that they are ascending right there uses fins and something called aerobrakes to slow and control the descent and that's what's unique about this particular, this generation of rockets. remember, the nasa, the great big saturn 5 rockets that were many stories tall, they would just launch the spacecraft into space, and then they would plummet into the atlantic ocean when they are launched off of the space coast to florida an

there is mr. bezos. [ cheers and applause ] >> oh! there they come. mark bezos, jeff's brother. >> congratulations congratulations! >> oh -- >> as you can see, what a day. newly minted -- astronauts being greeted by their family and friends here to watch this space flight, and, this space flight and historic moment out here in the west texas desert just 25 mimes north of the small town of van horn successful, smooth launch and landing. and as you can see right there, four passengers, look pretty elated to have gone on this rather short, just 11 -- minute journey into space. >> yep quite something to have watched. all right. are we going to get back to following the markets here i think. as well. of course, you can see corner of your screen. the s&p does start the session off. jim, not a particularly strong open. >> no. >> i want to thank morgan, of course, for all of that amazing coverage joined by her again shortly, as we look at continued embraces of the astronauts that's mark bezos, i believe, jeff's brother lives not far from us in scarsdale, new y

and i'm taking this idea from a quote from mr. bezos when he says something like amazon behaves the way it does because it is the only way for the business to survive. so for him, it is not about greed, it is about survival instincts all right, so very-- even if we accept that that is -- that nature is a given. i had this question and maybe because i'm a human rights lawyer and it was what is the role of the government in all of this? you know, this is a radical transformation of, you know, many social fears. what's the role of the government? and the same thing for made in china, right. when you see these egregious abusers. and what can we do and what is government doing, what should it did and for good or for bad? and maybe can, you know, start with how the book speaks to this expression? >> yes, my book definitely covers a lot of the failures of the u.s. government in this issue despite our that china is supposed to address -- and this includes the last administration although trump was credit for, called china hawk. there's a lot mo

i've not seen mr. bezos yet but i am sure he is someone everyone is keen to speak to.s a gorgeous view of a bike trail behind him. are you going one mile or five miles on the bike? ed: as you know, i mckeon by quest. i'm busy -- i am 18 bike list. i did's -- i am a keen bicyclist. i did see someone at 5:00 a.m. this morning. tom: in our world 5:00 a.m. is midday. ed ludlow with further reporting from sun valley. i think it is what it is. guess what. this year is different. it could be really interesting. romaine: absolutely. you talk about the competition we have seen pickup for streaming because of the pandemic, even prior to the pandemic. interesting to see if they can facilitate some sort of consolidation because there is too many streaming channels. tom: don't you think so? your house is like my house, we are dying for new product. romaine: i think i spent more on streaming that i spent on medical bills. tom: it's true. let's get ready for the close. i've a nasdaq that will not come down. romaine: this'll be interesting. keep in mind we get the fitbit it at 2:00 wa

tom: i believe mr. bezos will have tang in space. jonathan: can you confirm?i've told you repeatedly, people can't tell the difference between when you're telling the truth and when you are making stuff up. you've got to be careful. tom: no, i'm serious. bezos drank tang as a kid, and i'm sure he's going to be up in space -- i can't even say it. [laughter] subadra were joppa -- subadra rajappa is with us from socgen. what is driving the low yield? is the pricing in of global slowdown -- is it the pricing in of global slowdown? subadra: i thick it feels like a classic slide in quality. they have been reacting more to news flow and safe haven bids. there's general concern on the global economy, not so much on fundamentals. the data has been sort of back-and-forth. we got somewhat ok retail sales numbers. but the market right now seems to be more fixated than anything else. tom: what we are really doing is pricing in the input of global disinflation, even if the u.s. booms, even if the u.s. does better, even a strategists call for higher yields. the fact is we in

mr. bezos's trip as well. we look forward to fantastic coverage of that.dlow covering branson trip, the bezos trip, and you've got to wonder what comes after that and how big an acceleration we are going to see. joining us now is chris ke mp, astra ceo. we had him on the program back on july 1. it is the first space company to trade on the nasdaq. he previously served as chief technology officer over at nasa. how big is what richard branson just achieved, not just for his company, but for the whole industry? chris: i think we have seen the dawn of real consumer access to space. what richard has done is put space travel into the hands of consumers. it is the dawn of a new era. alix: do you at astra capitalize on that, or the enthusiasm and do something else that is not human spaceflight? chris: i think space is a huge new economy. it is a trillion dollar economy. if you look at space travel, space tourism, it is very small. if you look at if we can put satellites in orbit to connect billions of people to the internet, we can observe and really improve life

mr. bezos's flight happening a few weeks later? matthew: absolutely. is the master promoting his own company. there's a lot riding on this in the future virgin galactic. the stock is worth $12 million. they have lots of customers who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a long time ago still waiting to get up there. he still wants to get up there. guy: he is very good at pushing the brand. he has had all kinds of schemes over the years in terms of balloons and boats and everything else. in terms of the impact, if this goes well, how bit of a -- how big of a springboard is it? matthew: it is a big one if it goes badly that is real trouble. if it goes well it is a real spring pad for them to open up bookings again and get their current customers happy they will see flights soon and start taking more money and more deposits. it will help to fund the continued development and cushion the cash burn they will still have over the next couple of years. an important flight in terms of the future of the business. taylor: matthew bloxham of bloomberg intelligenc

bezos. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator whitehouse you're next. >> thank you. senator crapo, i appreciate it. and secretary yellen, we are reaching the end of a long hearing for you, and i appreciate your patience and fortitude with all of us. first a word of congratulations. i think the global minimum tax agreement is a really big deal >> thank you. >> and very significant, and a really important stopper against a race to the bottom of corporations competing with each other and countries competing with each other over tax -- not on innovation and good management. so thank you for that. and anything you can do to push that 15% number up, you have a cheering band of enthusiasts in the senate to urge you on. >> thank you. >> the second flag i wanted to place was with respect to the negotiations on climate internationally. you've expressed your support for putting a price on carbon emissions. a number of -- i think seven senators are filing an updated carbon pricing bill in the senate tomorrow. i don't think that a carbon price is the solution, but i think it's an

elon musk�*s spacex has already been awarded a contract, but mr bezos says he'll provide the extra fundsuring the day. low pressure is in charge. any showers we catch today will be slow moving. for many a dry start with a few showers. the heaviest in the south of england. the showers will develop more widely in the afternoon. some of the showers could be heavy and tangerine. in scotland the chance of localised flooding. temperatures ranging from 15 to 22,23, down a touch on 26, 27 we saw yesterday. some showers will fade. more coming in from the west. as the showers continue across scotland, merging with the new system coming in from the west by that combination could produce torrential downpours. not cold across the board. tomorrow low pressure is firmly in charge. not much wind in the centre of this low. any torrential downpours will be slow moving. again in scotland the risk of flash flooding. it will be a windier day than it has been. these white circles represent an average wind speed, the gusts around the showers will be 30, 40 miles an hour. temperatures disappointing for this sta

mr bezos started amazon 27 years ago as an internet bookshop — he'll now become the company's executive. neighbours were advised to stay indoors and close their windows until two hours after the explosion. but some came to pray for those still missing. drones with thermal imaging were used to make sure there were no people or pets still inside the building. the approaching tropical storm elsa, which has hit cuba with winds of up to 65 mph, brought forward discussions about when to demolish the remaining building. it's eliminated a looming threat, a dangerous threat for our rescue workers. it will potentially open up probably a third of the pile so we can all, you know, so the teams can focus not just on two thirds of the pile but on the whole thing. crews are now hoping to be able to get into the apartment block's underground garage and get a clearer picture of any air holes that may exist in the rubble. but no survivors have been pulled out alive from the site in surfside since the first few hours after the structure's collapse. that's 11 days ago. what caused the ao—year—old building

usher in the new era of space travel and the leverage off of that with a host of other industries mr. bezosade clear. way beyond blue origin to the heavens themselves. you might be noticing stocks are sprinting ahead. you might notice amazon went into the day, obviously the company that jeff bezos created down. it has since moved up, so kind of wiping out some of the losses amazon was experiencing yesterday. he took himself out of the day-to-day running of amazon. he has bigger sights on bigger skies if you will quite literally but the fact of the matter is, this shows the future of space travel because he has made it very, very clear as has mr. branson, has elon musk, the earth, whether suborbital or not that is for starters. they want to go to the moon, they want to go to mars. they want to go explore the solar system as jeff bezos said. we're the best bet in this bunch. earth is something you have to defend and keep and respect and honor and he will do just that. jeff flock is following all of this morning in van horn, texas, to take in the launch. when you think of space venues, i think

more importantly, will you promise to raise this issue with mr. bezosensure that we get some actual answers to the questions? to be honest, the initial refusal to answer the questions only makes it look like there's something to hide. is there? >> senator, no i don't believe so. it is deeply concerning to me and i'm sure you can appreciate i expect when i raise a serious question that it will be raised with a serious answer. we didn't receive that, not in the slightest. for years i've been concerned about the federal government violating the civil liberties of the american people and you've raised in your opening testimony some very valid points about how any american concerned about how the civil liberties might be eroded by government should likewise be concerned about how that might have been with big business and big tech in particular. now we are all voluntarily connecting the microphones in our kitchens, our living rooms and even as you pointed out in our bedrooms. do you see the risk that big tech and big government might work together in the fut

. >> we'll keep our eyes on one screen with the capsule and mr. bezos.ere after a lot of selling yesterday. what is your sense >> i do think that we had a lot of european selling that came to us obviously people are getting t tired of the bond market what i do get a sense, though, is that all morning you guys have said the hospitalizations, meg has been saying this stuff yes, the deaths, sadly, are all from unvaccinated. i have to believe -- i put out queries to sochlt great doctors to come on air if you are someone who is fighting vaccination, you think it's a mistake, and you see the deaths go up and you see the eight to nine people who get it from someone who has delta, i vust don't know if your conviction is going to be able to trump your worry. and that could change things in other words, it's more of a moving target than we think. the r0 is terrible. >> what do you think of the marketplace? >> yesterday was a good cleansing, speculators getting washed out the only thing i worry about -- i happen to like the guys from robinhood. if they get 25 to 35

mr. franson's rocket cost upwards of a quarter of a million dollars. the auction to sit alongside jeff bezosis first space flight paid about $28 million. now dominic, the prime minister's former chief advisor told the bbc there was talk of replacing him within days in december 2019. mr. cummings who had been direct of the vote leave campaign in 2016 also suggested that people who were completely sure that brexit was a good idea had got a screw loose. he has been speaking to our political editor. >> what really happened, this man used to be one of the most powerful figures in the government, but his friendship of political convenience with the prime minister fell to bits. boris johnson and dominic cummings began foes, their strategy had produced a massive win at the election. >> we did it, we did it. >> once they were all safely installed in number 10, he ended up on the outside. >> he was fed up with the media portrayal of him being a kind of puppet for the vote leave team around the bend. he was upset about the fact that kind of connected to that essentially that i was spending my time on w

mr bezos's brother, mark, was also part of the mission.ng for this moment for six decades, after initial training in the 1960s. she was not allowed to go into space because she was a woman. we'll hear from the astronauts in the next hour or so. it will be very interesting to hear their accounts of what it was like and i to hearfrom jeff their accounts of what it was like and i to hear from jeff bezos himself. our correspondent, sophie long, watched the capsule as it landed in the desert in west texas. a huge amount of relief, jeff bezos was saying he was not nervous, he was saying he was not nervous, he was excited. a hugely exciting day. it has all gone according to plan, the take—off was delayed but only by a a few minutes and it all happened as it should. they rocketed up to the boundary of space, successfully landed in the west texas desert. there has been some criticism on social media. you watched the pictures there ofjeff bezos having returned to earth as an astronaut with wally funk, 82 years old, who has been dreaming of doing thi

according to a spokesperson, mr barrack will plead not guilty. jeff bezosder of amazon, has been to space and back, in the first crewed flight, of his rocket ship, new shepard. on the flight was the oldest person who has been to space — 82—year—old wally funk, and the youngest, 18—year—old oliver daemen. our correspondent sophie long reports from texas. preparing to board his 60 foot sub—orbital rocket. he was not nervous, he said. just excited. this was notjust about realising a lifelong dream, but expanding his ever—growing empire beyond the grip of gravty. with him on this first fully autonomous passenger flight three other civilians — his brother mark bezos, 82—year—old trail blazing aviator wally funk and 18—year—old dutch student oliver daemen. she was one of the victory13, a group of american women training to be astronauts but never made it to space. until now. six, five, four, command engines start, two, one. as you can hear, blue origin�*s reuseable rocket, carrying its first human passengers and first paying customer, is now on its way to space.

mr. basophils or anyone else at amazon -- from jeff bezos can we received a form letter from mr. kellogg rather cavalier dismissing our concerns entirely and refusing to answer our questions. first, i hope your level of engagement with us today will rise above that abysmal disappointing level. the more poorly on the promise to raise this issue with jeff bezos to ensure that we get some actual answers to our questions? to be honest, amazon initial refusal to answer our questions only makes it look like there's something to hide. is there? >> senator, no, doubly so. that's not an area unfamiliar with but i will certainly raise it with my colleagues and get to your office with more details. >> okay. thank you. this is deeply concerning to me and as i'm sure you can appreciate i expect when a raise a very serious question that it will be met with a serious answer. we did not receive that. not in the slightest from mr. kellogg. dr. crawford, for years i've been concerned about the federal government violating the civil liberties of the american people, and you raised in your opening t
