the uae in particular sort of very reticent to any sort of official recognition of israel. think this is a major step to normalization of reality, of that israel is a country that exists in the middle east and it's time for the middle eastern countries to acknowledge it. i do think that part of establishing of good relations is one of the major failures of the trump administration, the ripping up of the iran deal, the iran nuclear agreement, which the biden administration has sort of tried to salvage. i think it increasingly looks like it's not going to be successful in salvaging the iran deal. and i think the security of the middle east, now without a verifiable nuclear agreement that prevents iran from getting a nuclear weapon, is now seriously in doubt. and i think that's leading to one side benefit is a closer relationship between the uae and israel, but i think overall, security for the middle east with iran potentially heading towards a nuclear weapon is not a good situation. and that tearing up a verifiable nuclear agreement was not a smart play by the trump administ

friday will be a half day in the uae.ws 24 hours a day on air and on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2,700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i'm ritika gupta. this is bloomberg. alix: thanks so much. let's get back to the breaking news. we had president putin and president biden starting the call at 10:07. one headline that came out of it is the u.s. will potentially sort of veto nord stream 2 if russia invades ukraine. they will seek to stop that pipeline from getting the green light. guy: yeah. i guess that puts all the onus on europe. your -- europe is burning through gas quickly. it needs russian gas. shoving the gas off from europe will have a huge impact -- shutting the gas off from europe will have a huge impact. i don't know how they would stop it. that would be interesting. apparently, there will be an allied response as well, so maybe europe is on board with this. that is a lot of weight on europe, which is having a number of other issues to deal with. for instance, italy, the number of c

to discuss the understanding of financial institutions that facilitate noncompliant or touches the uaellows a range of conversations or national securities and had an october and brent ahead and november and the interior and secretary also had in november. this is an extended outreach to our partners around the world to ensure they are preparing for range of contingencies. reporter: to know how long. [inaudible] >> what i can tell you is we have prevented a diplomatic path forward for that path is still open. based on the outcome of the last round of talks we are laying the groundwork for another pass entirely. it's meant to be preparations. reporter: [inaudible] jeff an update on that meeting? >> i think that what the president was referring to is a range of discussions and engagements that were continuing to have today the b9 is an example of that there's a number of nato partners involved there. and of course there's nothing at this point the presidents their teams to follow up and we expect that to continue as well. if it's not meant to be an indication of concessions made in any f

emmanuel macron has secured a deal that dassault will provide the uae with 80 jets.top responding nicely to that. then software ag, the subject of a series of takeover offers from private equity. the real question is will the foundation, which i think earns around 30%, be willing to see this happen, be willing to see that takeover take place? the market is liking the idea of that. we are up 9% on the day. alix: tgif. it has been quite a week. in omicron case from a recent traveler. we are also seeing rising case counts as well. we got some new data out of south africa that says 68% of coronavirus hospital emissions were people under 40. u.k. hospitalizations are over 7000. we are joined by dr. sarah pitt, university of brighton lecturer in microbiology. thank you for joining us on set. what are we learning about omicron over last week? the data come the 68% of those in hospitals, 11% of those admitted were under two years old, what have you learned? sarah: we know it is very infectious, even more infectious than the delta variant. we also know it's behavior in terms
