On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder talks to Bloomberg defense policy and intelligence reporter Peter Martin about the Middle East’s reliance on desalination, the potential humanitarian crisis that targeting the plants could spark and how that action could fly in the face of international law.

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images News AT&T ( T ) has agreed to invest up to $2B to upgrade the Emergency Cellular Network used by public-safety government agencies as well as lower certain rates that the company charges the federal government for the service. In return, the Commerce Department agreed to accelerate approvals for those upgrades. According to The Wall Street Journal , AT&T ( T ) CEO John Stankey and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick were engaged in negotiations over several months after an executive order last month required government agencies to review contracts with private entities. AT&T is the exclusive network partner and contractor for the FirstNet Authority and is responsible for building, operating, and maintaining the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network until 2042. Created in 2017, AT&T ( T ) received $6.5B in federal funds for the initial construction along with exclusive rights to sell its services to public safety agencies and commercial customers. Additionally, the company also gained access to crucial Band 14 spectrum. While the federal FirstNet contract expires in 2042, some of the new terms will expire in 2033 when the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration expects 5G network upgrades will be completed, sources told The Wall Street Journal.

Good morning . Trump urges countries to seize Hormuz. A landmark social media case may herald a new era of Big Tech regulation. And Airbnb offers travelers the chance to arrive at their rentals in style. Listen to the day’s top stories . Market Snapshot S&P 500 6,528.52 +2.9% WTI Futures $101.61 -1.2% Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index 1,215.45 -0.6% Market data as of 04:56 PM ET. Data is subject to provider delays. Donald Trump called on other nations to seize the Strait of Hormuz from Iran, saying those struggling to secure energy supplies should go to the waterway and “just TAKE IT.” Tehran is exchanging messages with the US but hasn’t held talks, its foreign minister told Al Jazeera. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde challenged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s optimism that the war’s economic fallout will be short-lived, people familiar said. Stocks rebounded on hopes the conflict may be nearing its end. India Set for Searing Summer as Iran War Strains Energy Supplies Read more European lawmakers, on their first trip to China in eight years, are using talks to target “ systemic breaches ” of the bloc’s consumer laws, including a large volume of allegedly non-compliant small parcels arriving from platforms such as Shein, Alibaba and Temu. China Vanke posted a record 88.6 billion yuan ($12.8 billion) loss for 2025, a sign of the deepening problems , as a wall of debt maturities looms . The result, worse than the firm had forecast , marks the embattled developer’s second full-year loss since its 1991 initial public offering. Another Chinese highflier is also facing trouble. Huawei, regarded as a leading domestic manufacturer of AI chips, saw growth decelerate sharply amid the success of Apple’s iPhone 17 in the country and increasing competition. Zhipu has also been hit by the increasingly crowded market, reporting a much faster-than-expected 60% surge in net losses for 2025. Not sold yet.

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz highlighted in his RSA Conference 2026 keynote that the fastest recorded adversary breakout time has dropped to 27 seconds. The average is now 29 minutes, down from 48 minutes in 2024. That is how much time defenders have before a threat spreads. Now CrowdStrike sensors detect more than 1,800 distinct AI applications running on enterprise endpoints, representing nearly 160 million unique application instances. Every one generates detection events, identity events, and data access logs flowing into SIEM systems architected for human-speed workflows. Cisco found that 85% of surveyed enterprise customers have AI agent pilots underway . Only 5% moved agents into production, according to Cisco President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel in his RSAC blog post . That 80-point gap exists because security teams cannot answer the basic questions agents force. Which agents are running, what are they authorized to do, and who is accountable when one goes wrong. “The number one threat is security complexity. But we’re running towards that direction in AI as well,” Etay Maor, VP of Threat Intelligence at Cato Networks, told VentureBeat at RSAC 2026. Maor has attended the conference for 16 consecutive years. “We’re going with multiple point solutions for AI. And now you’re creating the next wave of security complexity.” Agents look identical to humans in your logs In most default logging configurations, agent-initiated activity looks identical to human-initiated activity in security logs. “It looks indistinguishable if an agent runs Louis’s web browser versus if Louis runs his browser,” Elia Zaitsev, CTO of CrowdStrike, told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview at RSAC 2026. Distinguishing the two requires walking the process tree. “I can actually walk up that process tree and say, this Chrome process was launched by Louis from the desktop. This Chrome process was launched from Louis’s cloud Cowork or ChatGPT application. Thus, it’s agentically co...

Share your best investment idea by submitting your article for review to our editors. Get published, earn money, and unlock exclusive SA Premium access. Click here to find out more » JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Company Overview Myriad Genetics, Inc. ( MYGN ) is a molecular diagnostics and precision medicine company. Its products are used by doctors and patients to help answer important medical questions, such as who may be at higher risk of cancer, which treatment may work better, how prenatal care should be managed, and which psychiatric medicines may be more suitable for a patient. Over time, the company has expanded beyond its original Hereditary Cancer focus. Myriad reported four main product categories – 1. Hereditary Cancer which generated $372.4 million of revenue, 2. Tumor Profiling which generated $121.7 million in revenue, 3. Prenatal that generated $186.3 million, and 4. Mental Health generated $144.1 million. Total revenue was $824.5 million, according to Myriad’s 2025 Annual Report . Myriad generates cash by developing tests, running those tests in labs, delivering them to the doctors and patients, and then getting paid through the insurance reimbursement, patient payments, or a mix of both. The business depends on science as well as coverage policies, doctor workflow adoption, EMR integration, number of patients accessing them, total billing and collections, and efficiency of the process. Evolution of the Company: 2019 to March 2026 Myriad changed a lot over the last several years, but the stock did not benefit from that change. In 2018, the company bought Counsyl , which added a meaningful Prenatal business and pushed Myriad further beyond its original Hereditary Cancer focus. By FY 2019, the company was still profitable, with $851.1 million of revenue and ~$4.4 million of net income. The business mix was already becoming...

SpaceX's Starlink division confirmed yesterday that it lost contact with a satellite on Sunday and is trying to locate space debris that might have been produced by... whatever happened there. Starlink said there appeared to be "no new risk" to other space operations and did not use the word "explosion." But it seems that something caused a Starlink broadband satellite to break apart into at least tens of pieces. LeoLabs, which operates a radar network that can track objects in low Earth orbit, said in an X post that it "detected a fragment creation event involving SpaceX Starlink 34343," one of the 10,000 or so Starlink satellites in orbit. "LeoLabs Global Radar Network immediately detected tens of objects in the vicinity of the satellite after the event, with a first pass over our radar site in the Azores, Portugal," LeoLabs said. "Additional fragments may have been produced—analysis is ongoing." Read full article Comments
