Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) Andy Burnham appears set to become the UK’s seventh prime minister in a decade after Keir Starmer laid out a timeline for his own departure and potential rivals backed a quick transition to the popular Manchester politician.

(2) Starmer entered Downing Street less than two years ago, as the US president headed toward a second term. And he will leave later this summer as yet another short-lived British prime minister who failed to come to terms with the world Trump forged.

(3) SpaceX shares slipped for a third straight day, shedding hundreds of billions of dollars in market value, after the Elon Musk-led company said it is selling investment-grade bonds for the first time, part of what’s expected to be a massive borrowing spree to fund its artificial-intelligence ambitions.

(4) The US issued a 60-day license allowing Iran to sell oil on the international market, giving Tehran an economic lifeline as the two adversaries continued talks for a permanent peace deal.

(5) The German and French governments are set to hold equal stakes in KNDS NV, one of Europe’s most important defense companies, as it gears up for an initial public offering in the near future.
