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

On today's podcast:

(1) Voters across the US go to the polls today, passing judgment on the first half of Donald Trump's second term. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are being contested as well as 36 State governor races. Republicans currently control both chambers of congress -- but polls point to significant Democratic gains that could flip those majorities.

(2) Supermarkets across Europe were hit by suspected cyberattacks that resulted in sudden changes in the temperatures of their fridges and freezers on Monday, echoing a more widespread problem in France last month.

(3) Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian said his government has been granted more authority by the country’s supreme leader to pursue peace talks, as President Donald Trump hinted at progress in negotiations.

(4) Gold is trading slightly lower today, after its biggest jump in two months yesterday as hopes of progress in US-Iran peace talks eased inflation anxiety. Despite the pressure from oil and interest rates, demand from a key group of buyers has remained strong.

(5) Walt Disney is moving toward thousands of job cuts with the entertainment giant asking some managers to target 20% in annual cost savings, according to people familiar with the matter.

(6) Apple delivered a mixed outlook to investors in its first quarterly report under Chief Executive Officer John Ternus, with narrower profit margins overshadowing an upbeat sales forecast.

(7) Six months after his resounding defeat of Orbán’s Fidesz party, Magyar is moving as fast as he can. That includes combing through mountains of files seeking evidence of corruption or theft of public money on Orbán’s watch.
