12:05 pm
manhunt, especially in the region, the area here in brussels. we have twot, arrests, people tied to the attacks in paris. the two individuals were charged yesterday. not beenntity had disclosed. they all have connections to this area in brussels. that things are still tense in paris and throughout france. can you give a sense of what it is like an belgium can sintering authorities say some of the suspect came from there? >> there is a sense of hear.ding if you will it is coupled with the spirit presenceeally feel the of military people on the street when you're walking around, especially in the eu institutions here. is a combination of people, you know, is it really safe here? we know this has been the center
12:06 pm
of some of the extremist activity event though the attacks have not taken place here. ofk in january, in the wake the charlie hebdo attacks, they did foil a plot in eastern belgium and we have that on our minds as well. we have about 15 seconds to it are hearing a soccer match has been canceled. right.that is tonight, belgium plays spain because of these concert -- security concerns, they had to cancel the match. we were really looking forward to it. mark: bloomberg's bureau chief in brussels and belgium. thank you. that is a look at our first news alerts right now and more on these and other breaking stories 24 hours a day at bloomberg.com for diane mark crumpton. alex and scarlet, back to you. alix: we turn our focus to the federal reserve and malik --

monetary policy. 68%. not everybody is convinced and that is really the bigger question in the market. joining us now with more, the head of global interest rate strategy at td securities. thank you for being here. a target forve lift off in december. when you look for what the pace will be, you're looking at something specific, the difference between a three-month euro dollar consumer contract from march of 2016 in march of 2017, we have a chart that is a little confusing. explain. think the contract is an way to tease out exact market pricing. you look at the 10 year rate, that is the average rate between now and two years. if you look at the rate, you are looking at the exact three-month rate in march of 2016.
12:08 pm
the exact rate in march of 2017. that is picking up your expectation of the spread. the spread is a little bit above you itmarket is telling would only be 60 days higher between march of 2016 and march of 2017. if you think of the basis we all get gradual will be less than 2004. they rent every meeting. 200 basis points a year. pricing and basis points, that is what i disagree with. does notrgue the fed want to get off for the sake of hiding. donewant to get a few
12:09 pm
they canhe only way get it done is 21 basis points. you can evaluate the data and say how is the economy anduating how the economy financial positions, you need to it done. we are living in an uncertain world. we see it kind of picking up the not extremely robust. i can see why the market is pessimistic. the fed will at least want to get a few done. one perspective that has become conventional wisdom is that liquidity is a huge problem. what are they missing? >> regulators look at average liquidity.
12:10 pm
if you look at a lot of these measures, look at trading volume, they do not signal a problem that i have argued and i think a few people are arguing is not necessarily liquidated -- liquidity average that is the problem. unfortunately, certain days you need liquidity much more. october 15, a coveted sample of the basis points over 10 minutes, which should not happen to the u.s. treasury market. we have noticed they have been 16% of these nfc and more of a tenure. if that were true, you should have seen volatility. he really do not trade -- >> i should point out this is another anomaly. it is actually cheaper now to swap from the fixed income rate
12:11 pm
to a floating fixed, for example, versus the treasury. are we really pricing in the sovereign risk in the market where it is better to trade with banks than in the u.s. market? >> i think what it is telling you is swap spreads incorporate the cost of about she. treasuries holding has gone up over the last two or three years as banks are trying to incorporate a cost of balance sheets. all of them are cheapening and it does not have the costs. that is what they are highlighting. this ands that between corporate spirit you are seeing it in the treasury market, which is odd. the u.s. sovereign has been shown changes. no changes in our projection. i do not think it is credit

12:19 pm
the french were highly effective against al qaeda. the french seems to have the right attitude, which is that you have to smack to these people. thefrench have been slow on uptake and they need to get tougher on domestic issues. -- barry sterned blamed the president. legitimate to say in his presidency, barack obama vanmade no bigger mistake in syria. he held back 2011 and 2013. he turned it into a pink dotted line and handed over to the russians. less kicked them out of the reach and in the 1970's. it has been the biggest mistake of his presidency and has cost more human life than bush's intervention in iraq. we go live to paris

12:21 pm
>> we have to look at a scenario slightly less dramatic. i do not see the french shutting the economy. europe stops allowing the free movement of goods. one thing is to have the free movement of capital, which ultimately is good for an economy. what we are looking at is the possibility of the border control. one thing the european union has quietly done well for a long time, that is much bigger concern, particularly in the east. scarlet: we will speak with david later in the hour on the situation that has gotten worse. big, amazon is betting

12:45 pm
you just referred to and while there is an acknowledgment that there's an economic recovery going on there, there are downside risks to that. more important was the focus on inflation and the deterioration in expectations and oil prices making a new low will weigh on that. it's going to be difficult for all the major economies, so getting it to inflation targets is important. you are questioning whether it's the best approach for the eurozone's disparate members. what is wrong here? this is a long-running debate as to whether the union is optimal or whether the one size fits all rate is for countries like germany and greece. sticking with the greek debt

12:50 pm
12:51 pm
alix: welcome back to bloomberg markets. in the wake of the paris attacks, over 20 governors have announced their opposition to admitting syrian refugees into the u.s.. speaker of the house paul ryan cause -- called for a positive entry to america. joining us now is david miliband who believes these refugees are not a threat to our nation's security and it is the duty of the u.s. to help the people in need.
12:52 pm
reasoning,aul ryan's that safety needs to be assured before letting them into the u.s. can you lay out a policy that counters that view? mr. miliband: safety is the first consideration, but refugee resettlement has been a success story for america because there are processes in place that involve the fbi, department of homeland security and over 12 different government agencies. the reason this country has such an incredible history of refugees coming here and becoming business and political leaders of this country speaks not just to the humanity of this country but the competence and running effective security systems. the suggestion that we can substitute the word terrorist for refugee is quite wrong. the truth is that there are effective systems in place and america is insulated by the
12:53 pm
benefit of geography from the extra american portions in the middle east and it would be a terrible sadness if one of the consequences of the paris attacks was for america to close down. this is a country that can show the world how to bring in refugees. alix: if you look at what we have seen in terms of border closures already, and slovenia and hungary, literally building a fence, how do you reach out to leaders? choicemiliband: the between europe is between properly regulated and screened refugee -- refugee resettlement. the challenge is to make sure the proper systems are in place. the border free travel has been a big benefit for business but that does not bar effective checks on people as they move around europe. that needs to be done properly. we are working in greece where literally 210,000 refugees
12:54 pm
arrived last month and we are trying to give them basic water and sanitation. you have seen the scenes of people dying crossing the aegean. europe needs compassion, but also needs competence. scarlet: secretary of state john kerry says there can be a cease-fire in syria in weeks. is it possible that resolution is imminent? : obviously, john kerry knows better than i because he's on the inside track. , you are the wars stop going to have people fleeing violence. this year, more people are fleeing violence around the world than ever before. we should hope john kerry is right but a lot of people are on the track at the moment and the president here has said 10,000 people should be allowed from syria, of course with the proper security arrangements. you make it sound simple
12:55 pm
-- all you need is competent people doing the right thing, but it is obviously hard to do that. is it a failure of prime or's and presidents, of parliaments and congress? miliband: there is a failure in europe. europe has had its attention on the euro crisis and the intervention in ukraine. despite thecrisis, fact there were hundreds of thousands coming in previous years did not get the attention until this summer and europe is playing catch-up and paying the price right now. has intensified airstrikes in syria and the u.k. is looking to potentially do that. what would be the impact of that on the refugee crisis? miliband: it's a great question because the refugees are fleeing a sought on one hand and isis on the other and now airstrikes. we can look at the way the strikes are done with respect to the so-called safe zones that
12:56 pm
are talked about. the imperative is to protect civilians inside syria. there are 400 50,000 cut off from any aid at all and 7.5 million in syria in need of humanitarian aid. we are running health the next inside syria and the desperately need a cease-fire. short of that, they need more effective protection for civilians. much, davidyou so miliband. scarlet: we have much more ahead on the bloomberg markets. republican presidential hopeful jeb bush will be joining "with all due respect" with mark halperin and john heilemann. ♪
