saying they have no comment. my morning must read is in "financial times," germany wasting the benefits offered by refugees. the ears is no force is hitting the and removable -- the irresistible force of the refugees is hitting the immovable force of a high minimum wage. there is a serious point here. u is saying that the influx of migrants and refugees is going to put pressure on those just above the minimum wage and that is going to chuckle through the rest of the market in germany and have a negative impact. jonathan: the problem i have with this story is that we turn the refugees and asylum-seekers into some kind of commodity. it is not about them looking from a silent from a war-torn country, -- it is not about them
6:23 am
looking for asylum from a war-torn country. do you feel that that is insensitive to the point of the crisis? economichere is a big debate and this editorial lays out both sides. munchau is coming down on the side that is going to be deflationary but there could be benefits if handled correctly in terms of fiscal policy. if germany puts the refugees to work in public infrastructure projects and programs, then there would be a much better they are left to their own devices in the private sector in these countries. inathan: i want to bring lena komileva. there are huge demographic problems. graphic is the demo issue in germany? lena: the refugee crisis of today is tomorrow's salvation. europe has had a problem of
6:24 am
aging and shrinking populations. countries like norway that have never had a had an with savings have open immigration policy for a long time. if we take into account the fact that a large share of refugees 19-35, europe and the world has a great history of migrating communities becoming a source of innovation, entrepreneurship and productivity. this is a positive for european growth. forgive me, on the public spending side, the reason why we have high youth unemployment in europe is because public sector spending collapsed without any reform to support private sector demand. this is where the reform has to come. of the latememories 1950's from the hungarian the refugees that
6:25 am
came into the united states. that was a shadow of the scale now. to me, the entire debate, which i read about here this weekend, it is all about scale. are we having a dialogue appropriate for the scale of the refugees and the economic migrants? lena: probably not. a general ignorance about the long-term structural effects of strong population growth and strong productivity growth when you have the entrepreneurial, young labor force. in the short-term, it is increasing political pressure. in a way, that is probably not helping. at a time when fiscal deficits are still felt to be too high for the level of growth in europe. discussed thee economics, the political fragmentation. the idea, as we sit from 30,000 feet, and saying there's a one size fits all approach. to take theroach is refugees from the camps.
6:26 am
the germany approach is to say come to us. the approach has caused significant problems for germany themselves. tom: jonathan ferro and lena komileva will keep this discussion going. throughout the week, we will speak on europe and the historic refugee issue. him, davided to meet will join us tomorrow from deutsche bank. he is legendary in securities research. really looking forward to that. a must watch. bloomberg the quest" from london and new york. are going nowhere. they will go somewhere tomorrow. ♪

6:30 am
francine lacqua all with us tomorrow. right now, from our first word desk, here is vonnie quinn. wants toresident obama stay the course in syria. the president told "60 minutes" he's not considering strategy changes even though russia is in the fight. the administration said the u.s. will stop training moderate syrian rebels. donald trump says he thinks germany is going to far to help refugees. angela merkel plans to admit about 800,000 a to germany this year. the republican candidate says the plan could mean trouble. not love a safe zone, i do like the people coming. europe is going to have to handle this. they are going to have riots in germany. i always thought merkel was this great leader. what she has done in germany is insane. german government
6:31 am
spokesman declined comment on that remark. a cbs poll shows trump is still leading the republican candidates. he is at 27%, six points ahead of ben carson. says it is testfiring a long-range missile with success. chief says's defense the rocket can be precision guided to a target. the test could replicate the implementation of iran's nuclear deal. panel investigating the benghazi attacks is shifting its focus. the new york times reports the committee will look into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server as secretary of state. republicans denied the investigation is politically motivated. these vice-chairman of the federal reserve says the u.s. economy could be strong enough rate increase by years end. stanley fischer said the timing will be determined in part by job growth in the u.s. and by

international development. those are the latest headlines. back to you. tom: thank you. what a smart book. martin sits across the thames writing for "financial times." "europe's orphan" is the new book. we said we need to do this book in london. lena komileva is with us from g+ economics. i want to go to the end of your buck. it is the theme jonathan ferro has had. i think of the great comedy show, "little britain." little you think about england? where could the potential be five years from now? martin: there a huge debate as everybody knows about written's relationship with the eu, with europe. there will be a referendum. tom: when is it going to be? martin: we're not sure.
6:33 am
by 2017, looks like they will want to have it a bit early. when we had the election, the day after, people thought it would be brought forward. we do not even know what is on the agenda. martin: nor does the rest of europe. jonathan: until we get that, how can he set a date? martin: that is right. there's a very deep issue, how do you, as british prime minister, deal with the european union when most people are trying to integrate more ma rather than less. there is a big question mark hanging over britain's role in europe. it is going to face more and more of a whole. tom: what do you mean? martin: there a very widely shared conception that the euro
6:34 am
was a structural mistake. everything that has happened is because it was badly designed. we think we have to fix it so we need to force people to integrate or we need the germans to pay more money to the greeks and we need the greeks to accept berlin. i think what has gone wrong in the eurozone is policy mistakes. they could not restructure the debts early. do not blame the euro for that. footnote 16., jonathan: he read this, clearly. lse will be on the show. he has written about the courage and it -- the courage needed to clear the debt.
6:35 am
jonathan: the debt mattered when the ecb was doing qe, why does it matter now? high,: when debt is too private as well as public, when there is too much debt around so people do not think it will all be paid back, you have the uncertainty of who is going to take the loss. praise politics is about determining where the losses going to fall. as long as you postponed the choice -- atathan: the spanish 10 year one point 8%, no one is concerned about spanish debt. i can bring up the italian 10 year with a yield of 1.675%. no one is concerned about me third-biggest that load. -- debt load. why is that an issue? martin: if you think the ecb will forever pump money in -- tom: will they?
6:36 am
qe has beennk so, good for one source of leveraging. it has done nothing to do with the growth gap, the unemployment and productivity gap. these are things that cannot be fixed in one term. the impact of inflation -- jonathan: the problem with the debt load is ideally you want fiscal policy to run countercyclically. the debt load in europe has been an excuse for austerity. dijsselbloem -- qe, i: i would like more would like negative interest rates. a lot of central banks think we cannot do that. there is too little demand on the fiscal and.
6:37 am
. there was the wrong conclusion drawn from debt saying we need to stop borrowing. what they should have done to cut the stock, restructure the debt. tom: "europe's orphan" it almost defines turkey. where will turkey be in five years? martin: i and more pessimistic on turkey than i would have been three or five years ago. tom: why? martin: politically there has been a choice to turn away from europe. -- that ismuch partly turkey's fault. europe did not respond to that very well. turkey turned away. a wonderful book. it is a surprise and a really thoughtful book on some of the dynamics. us as well.a with coming up, a chart on india.

6:41 am
swiss. this is the emerging markets shift personified in india. theirs is not part of the currency war. isn talk what i think remarkable, $50 oil bailed out, never mind hurt an em, if it bailed out an em, it was india. lena: yes. does have the advantage of a differently structured economy. which means it can accommodate less painfully global trade shocks, in a sense because of the demand story. this that thisn is not a currency war as a liquidity glut. india is not immune to the growth cycle, to the impact of the stronger dollar on commodity prices. it is not immune to the fact that much of the world is heading for recession this year.
6:42 am
the other 60% is struggling with demand. tom: i'm going to start tearing up. wheres a semi log chart sloped matters. it is remarkable to see the ofwth dynamic over 20 years currency depreciation. do you assume that we are going to have a depreciated currency matrix five and 10 years from now against the dollar? , ia: just by definition think so. what is quite worrying is that it is a secular feedback loop of risk in the global market. the dollar, it is hard to imagine a strong dollar world. the dollar is in the middle of the global deflationary. through the renminbi's extra to the dollar -- through the fixture to the dollar, a stronger dollar means a stronger chinese currency. spending inonger
6:43 am
industrial sectors, that has a knock on on commodities. i'm worried about that world. martin is writing the china gloom on a daily basis. orphan,", "europe's the china axis is something we ignore all the time. tell us about the euro-china dynamic. story over thena last 10 or 15 years has played out differently in different european countries. and a lot of people credit germany's domestic reforms with how well they have done. tom: do you? martin: china's a big part of the story. germany happens to be good at producing the sort of thing that china needs or has needed at this stage of development -- capital goods come machine tools. tom: conference be part of that? ontin: france is good
6:44 am
infrastructure goods, trains and nuclear reactors. inc. about printing. if china does not slow down or collapse, eventually it will be a more developed economy and it will have a greater need for the sophisticated things that the eu produces -- that the u.k. produces. in america look at a prism of u.s.-china, there is a world we are ignoring. tom: it is china-germany, china-u.k. as they search for high added value goods, the point is critical that a service sector economy like the one that will leverage the china story. tom: did you like how i used a semi log chart? vonnie quinn knows how to use those. what do we have. starting in north korea. in the country this weekend, a massive military parade took place in honor of the 70th anniversary of the ruling

book about a new mediocre. jonathan: the author is in our company. tom: we get about 70 bucks a day and 300 in the week. most of them end up, what do you call a trash basket? the bin. martin: there are so many books, it might only justification to adding want to the pile is that i tried to say something else. i said actually the euro remains a good idea. if it is not broken, don't fix it. tom: let me take something you said and bring it to lena, the polarized politics. did he not show up to shake hands with the queen? jonathan: there's so much noise around your guy at the moment. tom: is it noise or a statement on polarization? whether it is mr. trump going after mrs. merkel, there is
6:54 am
polarization. lena: absolutely. there's a sense that we probably political riskst in a generation. that is negative at a time when the monetary union really does in termster momentum of support for capital markets. a lot of liquidity the ecb is generating is being exported abroad. it is not helping when you've got underemployment and demand at home. jonathan: take it to the politics. when people talk about corbyn, they tried to paint the sky as a joke. do we underestimate circumstance? let's say, we are near 2020 and we have a recession. he's up against george osborne. do we underestimate the circumstances when we look to the next elections? martin: it goes deeper than
6:55 am
that. yes, that is polarization but it is not the sort between left and right. what is happening is that center and center-right have sung from the same time sheet -- the same hymn sheet. thepolarization is between extremes on one side or the other. you see it in the u.s. and you see it in britain, corbyn has been on the french for 30 years and managed to win 60%. tom: martin works for this rag, top european bankers warn the u.s. threat to their future. the idea that jamie dimon is so big, is there a fear that european banks will not be able china's giantss or north american banks? vonnie: it is. it goes to the problem that there are imbalances reading
6:56 am
political fragmentation. problems of europe sound one way in german and another way in greek. it is all about growth on one side or lack of it on the other side. you have the political devolution, the forces sort of pulling apart. that is not good for european banks at a time when you've got regulatory repression and too much monetary liquidity. can you come back? your dress is still black. thank you so much, lena komileva . jamesomberg go next, chambers is still short the world. bloomberg television and radio, stay with us. ♪
