called for a crackdown on terrorism after the russian ambassador to turkey was shot in ankara. inquiries link his death with the war in syria and bombing and aleppo. turkishan was killed by security forces. the committed crime is undoubtedly a provocation aimed into raving the ties between russia and turkey, as well as the piece process in syria, which is actively promoted by russia, turkey, iran, and other countries interested in the regulation of inter-syrian conflict. there is only one possible response, the strengthening in the fight against terror. yvonne: joining us now is greg barton. he is an expert on security,

geopolitical risks, and terrorism. good to have you on the program. the president-elect saying it will only get worse. it is time for a rethink. what do you make of that? trump, he with donald has got some truth in what he says. are in look like we for a time of difficulty. attacks in june and july, but a rethink of how we do things, it is not clear what he means by that. people have been working very hard on the isis threat, making steady progress, forging some attacks, but some getting through. i am not sure what the president-elect has in mind when he says rethink. happenediven what has overnight, what are the long-term implications when it

comes to russia-turkey relationship now. countriesard the two respond amicably, vowing to cooperate, but could that change once we get more detail into who the shooter is and who his links are two? >> it is less of a case that this one incident will change the relationship. what appears to be the case is that a supporter of akp with unhappy leanings was with the rapprochement with russia, specifically groups like al-nusra. they were active in east aleppo. there is a building tension between what happens at elite leader, ander to the will of the turkish people the president and

have conservative leanings and are troubled by syria and iraq, and i can't see that problem going away even as the leaders themselves try to downplay it. yvonne: where do we go from here? >> the russian plan is to back bashar al-assad so that he has the western half, quarter of the ,ountry from aleppo to damascus including where the russian naval base is, and the interior of syria is left to its own devices. the rhetoric is that they will now join forces and fight isis. it is not clear this will happen. that has been going on for six years and may

unfortunately go on for years to come. ramy: this could harden the hand of president erdogan in his relations with islamist forces. what could we expect to come out of this? is early hours, but in terms of the ripple effects, what are your thoughts? >> i think this will be of some short-term utility. there was the attack in istanbul, and the other attack linked to the kurdistan workers party, now an attack linked to an islamist supporter. president erdogan has just put the parliament a proposal for powers that will make him like president clinton, unchecked. -- president putin, unchecked. and he says crisis requires the strong powers.

the fact that there is a growing groundswell of people who are in his support base and unhappy with the alliance with russia leading leading to dropping support for islamist fighters in syria. president erdogan will have to negotiate a compromise with the russians and extend this pushback. welle longer run, it may take into the civil war and the southeast against the kurds, which is what president erdogan is obsessing about at the moment. isis has a strong foothold in turkey, and many other islamic groups aligned with the regime threatened to become a thorn in its side, and i think we saw a microcosm incident of this with the assassination of the russian ambassador. in the medium or long term, it will be hard for president erdogan. for: thank you very much your analysis in time. let's get to first word news. >> thank you.

the last 12 months. the soft patch was late last year, early this year around the time of the first fed rate hike. because brexit, because of the donald trump victory, the have notote, they prevented markets from going higher. markets are to some degree over what with huge -- overbought with huge game since the election of donald trump. we will see a pullback, probably in the first two months of next year, perhaps after the inauguration. we have hadll say, this big rally, now what will donald trump do, what emphasis will he give on trade versus stimulating the u.s. economy, and how long will it take that stimulus to come through. in the meantime, investors will refocus on some of these geopolitical risks. the terror threat will be for

the first seeable future. investors will get used to that, and have done indeed, but the real issue will be the tension and china ands. eurozone breakout risks over the next 12 months. yvonne: you mention the risks when it comes to u.s. and china, take a look at the markets in china. a bull run in bonds that has quickly reversed after we see more pressure as it increases,s. rate more stock volatility as well, and in the currency. with that be a big risk in 2017? think what is going in china could have an impact. we have seen policy and china run hot and cold. stimulus picked up on the monetary and fiscal front, that in turn help to stabilize

growth. now the authorities and china are concerned the property market needs to be slowed down. they need to slow down the rate of growth in credit, a shift conservative approach to stimulus. drag to some degree, but i don't see china's growth collapsing, probably 6.7% this year, probably 6.5% next year, so i don't see major calamity coming up china. yvonne: no calamity, but this is a time when policymakers are attempting to deleverage. could this spiral into something the market is not expecting given that it's not just the vicious cycle, but also in the bond market? >> yes, there is that issue there. has moved to

tightening, and that is putting pressure on bond yields in china. that is partly global. occurred after the fed announcement, so china is being drawn into this backup in bond yields we have seen globally. or have's one of the only countries that has not in drawn in is japan. the boj since september has had this commitment to keep japanese ten-year bond yields around zero, so that has given japan a huge in vantage and all this, the japanese share market benefiting from the fall in the databetter economic recently, and on top of all that, you have on yields capped around zero. ramy: you talk in your note about rotation to fiscal policy

from monetary policy. what is your strategy to work with this? of, calls that is sort it a great rotation. for the last five-six years come all the emphasis has been on monetary policy. we have seen fiscal austerity until recently. quite clearly that is now in reverse, but that focus on monetary policy led to that huge rally we saw in bonds, amongst other things. i think the reality is that the bond rally is now finished, the cyclical bond rally we saw post-brexit is over. bonde now moving into a bear market. we have seen a massive selloff recently. i think we will go through a pause in the backup and bond yields, but i would use that as an opportunity to sell more bonds at some point in the next few months the cousin i see bond yields heading higher by the end
