u.s. war in afghanistan intensifying again as pulled from iraq and syria, not to mention the domestic budget at home in the u.s., to expand the longest war in the united states history. stevewe will speak to coll, author of the new book "directorate s: the cia and america's secret wars in afghanistan and pakistan." more continuity with change with the trump administration. they have put some pressure on suspended aid. but mostly they decided to continue to warm or less along the lines of the obama administration and was it administration. they have dropped more on -- talked more bombs in 2017, trying to signal their going to be tougher and have more result. i'm afraid it is a case of doing the same thing militarily that previous a ministrations have done and expecting a different result. amy: pulitzer prize winning journalist steve coll, dean of the graduate school of columbia journalism. all of that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report

and it is a reflationary environment, not just from the u.s. perspective. the u.s. is in the lead, but it is also being influenced by global growth and inflation expectations. jonathan: on that side, let's get our teeth into that particular debate. the global flow story, from one area of bond markets to another, we have been told again and again if you get up to 290 on the u.s. yield, that is capital. but when you bake in the fx hedging costs, the story changes quite radically. does 290 do it? does it get the capital to finance that deficit? nick: i think it does. and certainly 305, something like that on the three-year treasury has become very effective. they don't just focus on treasuries. when you look at the investment grade index in the u.s., you are 375 or something like that, so that is a big pickup both in terms of yield and credit spread if you are coming out of europe or japan. and remember, globally they are still printing money until the end of the earth. jonathan: kathleen, your thoughts on that? matt: i think -- watchen: i think you can that near-term

u.s. is ready to engage in nuclear talks with north korea, even as it maintains pressure on kim jong-un's regime. anna: theresa may looks to reunite her divided cabinet and come up with the brexit plan. ♪ anna: good morning, everybody. this is "bloomberg daybreak: europe." let's take a look at the asian equity session. it has been in rehab after the stresses of last week. they are up 1.1 percent on the msci asia-pacific, excluding japan. futures point higher. there is a lighter tone to the geopolitical conversation, based on words from mike pence. that is helping. risk-on in there markets. it takes away from the dollar and boosts some currencies today. dollars bought index down .3%. data onnflation wednesday. in the meantime, look out for budget commentary today from the trump administration and anything big report on infrastructure. i mentioned the letter tone to the geopolitical conversation. are mentioned the lights tone to the geopolitical conversation. could with the conversations t

the u.s. public health chief has resigned over a financial conflict of interest documents show brenda fitzgerald traded in tobacco and health care stocks while she was the director of the centers for disease control and prevention fitzgerald was appointed by trump in july and is the second high profile health official to step down health secretary tom price resigned in september after allegations he had misused a government aircraft. the f.b.i. has raised questions about the accuracy of a secret congressional memo that suggests the agency and the justice department abused their powers the white house intends to release that classified document containing allegations of trump bias that explains. thank you and god bless america goodnight for many people it was the text of donald trump state of the union speech that made headlines instead it was his unscripted comments as he left the chamber referencing a secret memo purporting to show top law enforcement tools were used for political purposes th

it's not the u.s. call, it's a russian. u.s. cannot promise anything there. so the only thing that the u.s. can offer to make it easier is to push the way pg to withdrawal and that's very difficult. it's difficult because recently the u.s. state of the strategy and they want to stay there and the y pg is the main ally for a hurt the feelings of the way pg when they said it's not our thing, it's not our area of operation but if they decide to handle this for push or ask, that will send the wrong signal to the curse but the question is, do the kurds have any other option. so while turkey would make a very risky decision, that will be a breaking point in terms of u.s. relations. will he do that? i argue that it still open in the u.s. is using the airbase so the logical thing for turkey would be to close it down and he didn't do that. i assume if you didn't do that he won't move in but the other side of the argument he said it very publicly so be difficult to see. >> i do agree but i think it's possible for him to walk back his rhetoric. i think you can always sw

predicates that improve and u.s. relations with the u.s. . imports we did not return a letter in response to kim jong un's personal letter but what the south korean government is talking about is that and as an initial step is to set a private. low level envoy not connected to government that would discuss domestic issues. reuniting divided families and so forth as a starting point and from there are try to slowly expand the types of contacts but to be very low key and i think i think that it's still tied in to the view that he's got to bring a lot of the united states you know yeah to make it maybe kicking in that way and kicking in dry dragging them to peace here kicking and screaming kicking and screaming absolutely brian i'll give you the last word here what do you think is going to happen next year because i don't see the u.s. backing down they want that bloody no it's i mean that would be the end of the peninsula as we know it go ahead brian. yeah the american government fears that peace could break out in the korean peninsula because t

the difference between the average u.s. wage and the wage of the foreign worker has certainly been an important contributor as well over time although a diminishing one as other countries ramp up and get their per capita income closer to the u.s.. when you're talking about what is the impact of a change like this on a location decision, then you have to think about the tax rate certainly is important, but we have to control other factors, too. if you look at the work of mike in the room, that's the kind of stuff that they do. they throw stuff at the margins with the tax effect. jim has a paper where he shows the elasticity of the location of taxable income is pretty high and there are other people who criticize them and say it's lower. his work is generally reliable. [laughter] but the point is that they are adjusting to things at the margin. i think the irish wage has grown a lot and that they have received a lot of positive wage demand from location decisions there. locating activity in the tax haven is the easiest way to

let's look at the u.s. markets for the month of january the s&p 500 there was up 5.6% for the month. it's trading very slightly up yesterday. let's look at the dow. also up 5.8 %. and the nasdaq similarly for the month up 7.36% let's look at the u.s. dollar. it was down 3.5% we saw that pretty much every day over the course of the month, weakening against the euro and the pound you can see the dollar down 3.5% for the month. we take a look at the ten-year treasury, we can see quite what an impact that has had over the course of the month. a lot of conversations about yield on the ten-year. you can see those numbers there really quite striking. >>> wilbur ross has told cnbc that tax cuts are having a strong impact on american workers. president trump's critics are being proven wrong about u.s. growth he says >> the naysayers were before president trump's election, they were saying we would never get over a 1.5% to 2%. they've been proven quite wrong. this year the tax bonuses are being paid, almost million a

in the u.s. workforce i think that we are almost to the point it is difficult to talk with her is a u.s. firm or a foreign fi firm. you've heard that distinguished career and he has a lot to offer so let's go ahead and get into it. mr. ambassador, today's conference is entitled to the treats don't matter. what type of magnitude and importance of the u.s. eu relationship. >> thank you for the invitation. trade is the ultimate driver of wealth creation and productivi productivity. it is science that we know that it actually is a law with a comparative advantage. it could produce everything it needs it makes more sense to focus on those things you produce sufficiently and trade the rest. there's economic activity that continues to increase and i think this is board success story or country that has grown prosperous and offered a better way of life to its citizens without trading so trade is absolutely an indispensable part of our economic life. and the transatlantic corridor talking about the relati

u.s. we saw quite a lot of pressure on the nikkei. 1.6%.600 now down i will show you a chart of the stoxx 600 in a second, you will 3%, downit was down 4%, and now it is kind of stabilizing at down 1.6%. 37 can see the vix index .32, now we have not seen that level for a while. --.eems to be finding we focus on the selloff with the chief investment officer. we discuss oil prices in our interview with the ceo of bp. we talked the vix's historic spike. we focus on the markets, we also have quite a lot more throughout the program. let's get straight to the bloomberg first alert news. here's juliette saly in singapore. juliette: the president of the minneapolis fed says he does not think a financial crisis is imminent despite the turmoil. he made the comments in an exclusive interview with bloomberg. >> if they are pricing in a lower young term yield, that could be leading to higher valuations. i don't see a financial crisis on the horizon, but we are paying very close attention to it. juliett

in 2015 the u.s. vietnamese defense administers signed a joint statement which is defining defense times. under the agreement, the u.s. transferred coast guard cutter to vietnam and that arrived just before trenton arrived in vietnam in november. we had secretary mattis visit vietnam in january and in march the u.s. s carl vincent on aircraft carriers going to visit vietnam and be the first aircraft carrier to visit vietnam. i don't know if any visited during the vietnam war. lynn then the prime minister visited here last may and president trump visited in november. one of the interesting they think they talked about was stepping up until sharing between the two countries. there's also an effort from the u.s. vietnam to tackle legacy issues. we look for the missing in action soldiers and we hear about the cleanup of unexploded ordnance. there's also an attempt by the u.s. to remediate areas damaged by agent orange. the airport was basically completed last year of the two sides are talking about the ai

u.s. intelligence community to do something it's hard to do which is to present the if you will the secret facts or the story i don't even know frankly the secret story because i don't have a reason i need to know that as a retired cia officer however if they do present the facts there's a risk of of compromising what we call sources and our methods which would of course not not be good so the question is how much evidence should be provided to the american people i'm personally and i stress this is my personal view an advocate of declassifying as much information as possible and presenting it to the american people and to present. to the russian government i think we really need to initiate a process that we negotiate and then to this kind of aggressive cyber hacking and interference in our one another's domestic affairs if president putin believes the u.s. is interfering in russian domestic affairs or internal affairs it's not a good approach to interfere in our affairs in order to get u

and the u.s.. instead of going on a physical field trip you can put on a very , simple cardboard headset and go on a virtual field trip. the idea of going places is what is resonating. we are building capture systems, headsets, cardboard on the low end. and daydream. or you can simply slip the phone into a beautiful comfortable cloth-based viewer. >> this works within your ecosystem. how important is it to google as a whole? >> ar and vr are platforms for immersive computing. computing networks more like we do with humans. instead of looking at a small rectangle glass in 2d, you interact with computing in 3-d. so google lens, for example, is one of the technologies where it -- where the phone recognizes what it sees. what a cute pair of shoes, where can i get them? the idea of recognition and enhancing that or augmenting that in our real-world is a fundamental use of our platform. on one end you can wear goggles and go there. ar is on the other side where through a phone, you can bring objects into

the u.s. senate for this job. without further adieu, welcome mr. david trachtenberg. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. thank you, michael. pleasure to be here at brookings. very much appreciate the invitation. good to see so many people out here on such a dreary morning. thank you for making the trek out here to participate in this. it is really good to be here. it has been awhile since i have been here. always appreciate the opportunity to come back. one correction i would note to michael's very generous introduction, that is my title which was indeed principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy has now been changed, it has been shortened by one word, thanks to national defense authorization act which was signed into law a couple months ago or so. the word principal has now been dropped from all deputy undersecretary titles because there's only one deputy undersecretary. so now i have a better chance of fitting my title on a business card. so as deputy undersecretary of defense fo

u.s. growth, the growth we saw in 2017 an early 2018, monetary policy with the fed raising rates or shrinking its balance , buying bonds at a slower pace than in the past here from a monetary perspective, all signs are pointing to higher yields since policy growth or inflation. came into the year and there was a big consensus was that we were going to get a flatter yield curve. some people said that would become a much more crowded trade or i wonder whether we are taking some of that off or putting something else on. which is it if you put it that way? >> i think a surprise will be a steepening to the curve. the market came in position for a flat curve, particularly when raised rates, it is flattening. out of the six rate hike we have seen, the only exception was 1986 after reagan's tax reform plan as it steepened as much as deficits were rising. even with increases on the front end, the front and issuance over the next few months, they are looking at their need to find another billion dol

that funding was a part of a , a u.s. commitment, a u.s. interest, and international and u.s. obligation. it makes sense that the u.s. finds its own vision of building two states.\ the u.s. has invested into the infrastructure of peace. we appreciate it. pressure does not work. especially when it comes to people like us. it doesn't work. it has been tried before. it did not work. it will not work this time. if it does anything, it adds to our self pride. resilience, if you make. may. what an aid, is that a term i weaponizzing aid. denying people's education and health care. i was educated at that school. he is turned -- the eight has turned a catastrophic situation into a less catastrophic situation. ,t has given people like me children, the opportunity and platform to be educated and lead a different future. please go back, you will see the actual office of this visual -- vicious attack. he thinks that by dismantling us, the issue of refugees will finish. it does exist in his head. netanyahu. to theher honor exists or not, lives of millions of pet -- palestinian refugees. we

right now the u.s. supreme court is considering whether or not to take up the trump administration's appeal. after a judge there ruled to keep daca in place. what does the trump administration do if the judges try to rule against replacing and getting rid of daca. does the trump administration try to appeal each one of these rulings assuming there will be more? >> i think first of all they continue to take the san francisco case up to the supreme court. they have to continue to fight them at the district level and maybe at some point try to join the appeals if they go against them. the third thing i would say is they need to continue to try to drive the policy from the executive branch level that they want because i think in the end you've got -- this judge, for instance, said it is clearly wrong to say the previous one was constitutional. that's a problem. >> julie: we'll continue to watch as the trump administration deals with this problem. congressman biggs, thank you very much. appreciate you coming

canada u.s. it's going to be must see tv. the u.s. has lost the last couple and they so want to beat gothe canadians to win tha medal in women's ice hockey. and one other story a footnote for men's ice hockey of cour the korean team unified as we watch the koreans come into the opening ceremony as a unified team. the two dozen or so north koreans with the south koreans you will also see that the nomen's ice hockey team actually has three or fouh korean players who the coach sara murray from canada has to integrate can be fascinating to sehow that works. >> yang: christine brennan of "usa today," thanks for joining us m >> thanks veh. >> woodruff: one postsipt: since we spoke with christine, a white house official traveling with the vice president said mr. pence offered to meet with rippon but did not ask to et with him. the vice president told rippon in a tweet: "i want you to know we are for you." christine stands by her story. >> woodruff: next, imagine at the eve of world war ii, a missn by the u.k. to prevent war with germany froe

he was egged on by the u.s. and the u.s. basically folded and he what is the political review repercussions for the president everyone if he doesn't get what he wants go ahead actually years and now you know after a year we have a very important elections in turkey a presidency and this is the first time in two thousand and nineteen and then the before that i think to turkey try to finish or wrap up the syrian issue with some games you know in the beginning we started with the united states and the european allies and then they left us with russia and iran in the region now after two thousand and fifteen turkey started a new city on his own sometimes with the help of russia and iran in syria and he surely we have basically three you know iraq hates schildt and then lip and then this olive branch operations these are really important operations in for turkey and i think the turkish people is supporting is kind of operations then after that the turn will come to member i think this is the man beach is the most crucial area bet

u.s. crude output could overtake that of russia and saudi arabia, that's according to the latest iea oil market report which also predicts non-opec oil production will grow faster than demands. neil atkinson from the iea joins us from paris. sir, thank you very much for joining the show our colleague spoke to the head of the opec earlier. he said he had reassurances from russia to keep production cuts in place is it fair to say going forward the u.s. will be the largest swing producer in the foreseeable future when it comes to oil production? >> well, i think most people assume that the opec output cuts, which have been in place since the beginning of 2017 will stay in place for the rest of this year. what we're watching at the moment is because the united states is essentially a free market for oil, it's production rises and falls in line with the oil price. at the moment we're in a situation where oil prices have risen during the second half of 2017 and the early part of this year, that'

but the fact that u.s. officials wanted to see how deep it went how much they actually have but then my question is again what you're doing is relying on stolen information from people who stole information from you and you're you're paying one hundred thousand dollars it wasn't going to just be a hundred thousand dollars apparently what they would have kept going it was a million well you sort of already know you started a ten million men immediately drug a million and then you got this weird hundred thousand dollars that no one wants to take responsibility for that apparently there they were using the whole negotiations where they were using like an american businessman to like act as proxy of the certain goshi ations and the other guy was supposedly acting as proxy for like you know russian intelligence services i mean to me it really at the end of the day tab it really does this big this question because they're trying to say well what was it like a. but it hang out where they try to like get us to buy

the u.s. 10 year, a big coming down of that yield, 2. 66%. the long end of the treasury benefited the most of the wave of safe havens. overall treasuries have been rallying and s&p futures are recovering a little bit, but still called almost 2% lower. let's check in on the first word headlines from around the world. rosalind: struggling to deal with a market throughout. glitch is a setback for the financial market industry. people have become comfortable making investment decisions without human beings. even as u.s. stocks plunged, president trump hailed the economy, plunging his tax overhaul and telling workers in ohio that america is once again open for business. donald trump: when i signed the tax cuts six weeks ago it set off a tidal wave of good news that grows every single day. out,e the week was companies were announcing thousands of thousands of new jobs and enormous investments to their workers. u.k. brexite secretary david davis says his government is very clear on what it wants out

embassy and the u.s. embassy is in the process of actually being renamed it will be being renamed for the street on which is the street on which the u.s. embassy will be will be based it will be renamed as olive branch street in honor of the turkish military operation into syria into fighting against kurdish forces so there's a quite a lot lot of tension between turkey and the united states as the united states continues to support kurdish forces but also to make statements saying that it supports the turkish government which is fighting against kurdish forces so the position of the united states between its two allies is not exactly clear all eyes are on and car in the lead up to tillerson visit. oh i think so that we need some more analysis on it with the biggest political sciences professor mommer university studies of the line either so as you see it looking on where you are what do you think the u.s. is trying to get from this visit to. pick chile where i don't know what the united states will want b

u.s. concluded their sixth round of negotiations over nafta. ♪ >> u.s. trade representative robert light highs are struck a chord of optimism, saying the latest round of nafta negotiations wrap up today. >> they made progress, but we are still not friends. contentious issues remain. the u.s. trade representative, while more upbeat than in the past, is continuing to say mexico and canada are taking advantage of the u.s., citing import and export data, and called on both countries to help modernize nafta and rebalance trade, and while he is willing to continue the negotiations and he says they have to move faster. the canadian foreign minister was up eat, saying they have made progress and is pleased with what they accomplished. the mexican economy secretary said the three sides basically are close to being able to make a deal. dimon, warren buffett, jeff bezos planning to join forces. morgan, berkshire hathaway, and amazon announcing a way to collaborate on healthcare services to their em

the u.s. president says a republican classified memo released by congress clears him in the probe into links between russia and his presidential campaign he says this memo totally vindicates trump and probe but the russian witch hunt goes on and on there is no collusion and there was no obstruction the word used because after one year of looking in this day and finding nothing collusion is dead this is an american disgrace and it gallacher is following developments for us from washington. well there are a couple of key questions here as to what will happen or what may happen next and chief among those is a concern that president trump will use this memo as a pretext to fire robert mueller the special counsel who's in charge of the russian investigation democrats say if he does that it will cause a constitutional crisis we know of course that he wanted to do that back in the summer but held off on that decision because some senior members of staff threatened to resign themselves the other quest

that comes from what we are seeing out of the u.s.. u.s. supply growth is expected to be 14% this year. it will not keep up. physical surplus, we see a down trend ends prices. we see the listing lasting until the end of the year. you are is interesting talking about this through the lens of u.s. shale. when we see 10 million barrels a day, possibly a 11 million, a lot of folks saying opec having to worry about that, but looking ahead with 11 million barrels possible, you are saying this is a concern of yours. it is absolutely a concern because the way that opec has set the deal is they are just trying to get rid of surplus stock. the marginal cost of production will matter, and that will come out of the u.s.. $65 toes get to around $70, you should see a strong incentive for u.s. shale to come online. it takes about six months to go from rigged deployment to production. that is the risk, it can respond quickly. i guessn that case, through these optics of how u.s. is still basically the swing producer in this market, is it too early for opec

the u.s. session later? the s&p posted its biggest loss. that is fairly substantial, but it has been down more than that. .9% on u.s. by futures. one of the most interesting things for me this morning was rediscovering european stocks erased all of their gains. just what is this, what is going on here? is this an overdue healthy correction? keeping track of course of the we. 10 year yield is where are at this stage, because this is -- the relationship between bond markets and equity markets has been crucial to where we are on this global equities story. manus: even janet yellen talking about that. these markets were in public territory, but she had warnings about stocks and buying commercial property. breaking news. top life flow on samsung. up y'all of j wiley is critical in terms of the length of jail term he is given. a couple of lines coming through. the court does not accept there was a succession issue for solicitation. there was no bribery in support them. smaller lines coming through.

the u.s. presence is blaming the f.b.i. for the gun attack at a florida school seventeen people died on social media donald trump says very sad that the f.b.i. missed all of the many signals sent out by the florida school shooter this is not acceptable they are spending too much time trying to probe russian collusion with the trump campaign there's no collusion then trump adds get back to the basics and make us all proud. chomps comments came after was revealed the f.b.i. received a tip last month that the suspect had a quote desire to kill and access to guns the agency admitted on friday that agents failed to investigate if b. i directed christopher ray is under pressure to resign students from the school targeted in wednesday's shootings have rallied for tighter gun controls the man charged with the murders is a former student at the high school police say nicholas cruz brought his automatic weapon legally a survivor of the shooting had this message for u.s. politicians. if you do anything to prevent this from coming from

and the u.s. has spent a lot of money trying to gin up opposition to violent opposition to the government there and that has to be kept in mind also and when looking at these protests most definitely you know it's interesting the political struggles for new years has been you know pushing hard recent years the tyrone's government the world's predominant sheo power to various sunni muslim terrorist networks which is like al qaeda and i says a relationship that would seem pretty unnatural to say the least is there any truth to this axis of power concept or is it an attempt to harden public opinion against the run and really you know go and part and parcel to this plot that you talk about as the title of your book. where you raise a great point i mean the truth is that he ron is and has been a mortal enemy of terrorist groups like al qaida isis people might not remember this but. right after nine eleven iran helped the united states in its operations in afghanistan against the taliban and against al

the u.s. defense department published its nuclear posture review on friday i climbing america's nuclear strategy apart from strengthening its nuclear capability that doctrine takes a seemingly tougher stance on china russia and north korea claiming those states represent a unique and complex threat the review also points site that american diplomats would continue to speak from a position of strength we get the reaction of russia's ambassador to the united states. in order to justify the increase in military spending and the growth in its nuclear capabilities america has come up with a scare story about russia we understand that the ideas aimed at boosting the military budget with trillions of dollars. the twentieth the nuclear review at the ready being compared to barack obama is from seven years ago we discussed the document with the director from the nuclear age peace find ation an american politician who's been closely following the story the vast majority of the nuclear issue is word for

i think u.s. treasuries can take a severe hammering over the next two, three months. >> you're quite worried about the demand for u.s. treasuries, are you? >> yeah. when you look at the demand. the demand has come from foreign buyers that's well and fine when the foreign buyers bought treasuries for negative interest rate policies and also for cny flows, for oil related flows. you have 5$508 billion of issuance coming from a rolloff or new issuance of treasuries due to the fiscal plan trump put into place i don't see where those buyers come from. to say you're going to get atrey market, you have to assume cny will go down to 6 or oil prices to 75. all you're seeing is a recycle of flows where these two guys have been buying treasuries. the domestic demand has been quite subpar so i just don't see, give than we got so much issuance coming over the course of this year, i can't find a natural buyer the same for me applies to equities hence this bond equity correlation story will come back i think you

no matter what the u.s. screams and everything north korea is not going to denuclearize until that u.s. military threat to them is real we could come into a situation. invented situation where there's a security crisis in south korea and. exactly but if something like that is invoked then the entire south korean military is under the command of an american four star general this is you know south korea is a country of limited sovereignty when it comes to its defense and security it's like you're just like japan here and it's and i think we've already mentioned here you know the united states is acting as a spoiler in syria as a spoiler in their alliances in the pacific much of the narrative is that you know north korea is trying to drive a wedge between the u.s. and south korea that's the narrative that you hear on the mainstream media in the us your answers were usually a way to get you north korea. to civilizations that have been together for the libyan for millennia and i sort of see why does he want to r

appeared what was the reaction from the spokesperson for the u.s. led coalition. but the u.s. coalition has no information of this before when there were there was just a rumor about the syrian government using chemical weapons immediately they had was that while they had they had a lot of rhetoric for something they never ever happened they didn't even send inspectors there that they were so sure that this information was correct went to turkey somehow they preferred to be silent is the interesting thing to mark is that we have to look at the internal dynamics of turkey and everyone's perceived american stance is very popular domestically for him so this is again another part of the spectrum that he's playing i mean he first of all he accused the u.s. of a coup trying to overthrow his government u.s. back to under the bed probably the only coup that i believe the u.s. has been in recent times but it's an enormously popular with his islamist based and their base is as long as that on top of that he's turned his country into basically the whole day resort for all of the jihadi
