8:02 pm
become a familiar note on reports of a north korean nuclear test putting the rest of the world on edge. geopolitical tensions, at their highest since the cuban missile crisis, north korea says it has fitted a nuclear weapon to an icbm. washington has promised an overwhelming response to any attack while beijing and moscow are calling for talks >> the u.s. and south korea, trying to analyze the details of the newest nuclear test, the strongest we have seen since 2009 from pyongyang. financial analysts are talking down the markets when they should be trying to calm investors' nerves. they are saying this could have some type of effect negatively on the growth prospects in south korea. >> this could be seen as a slap in the face for north korea's main ally, china, and the test coming as president xi jinping welcomed the leaders. what is the mood in china?
8:03 pm
>> the chinese put out a statement saying they did not agree, didn't back, and did not support what the koreans -- north koreans were doing. they called for a resumption of dialogue. the chinese, it doesn't seem, are going to be changing their calculus in the short term. it is now assumed that china continues to see that the risks , refugeespsed state taking over, or a unified korea backed by the u.s. is still more of a risk than a nuclear-armed pyongyang. that seems to be the consensus. >> u.s. defense secretary jim mattis shot back at north korea's nuclear threat with a blunt threat. >> any threat to the united states or its territories including guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming. president trump recently has
8:04 pm
tweeted "i am allowing japan and south korea to buy substantially increased amounts of highly sophisticated military equipment from the united states." is that going to help to address the problem? >> potentially, but i can tell you the united nations is working with nikki haley to add additional sanctions on north korea, but the question becomes whether or not china and russia will follow suit. of speculation and mixed messages, attorney general jeff sessions made it official. the trump administration is ending daca, deferred action for childhood arrivals. >> we cannot admit everyone who would like to come here. it is just that simple. >> president trump tweeting earlier >> everybody wants to be compassionate, but when it gets down to it, this is a matter of leadership in congress, and it has been absent on immigration.
8:05 pm
they have not been able to pass any immigration reform in the past decade, and it is questionable in this partisan environment whether they can do it again. it will be very difficult. >> business has come out against this decision by president trump to let daca expire. facebook's mark zuckerberg wrote >> the sense in the business community is certainly in favor of daca and opposed to president trump's move. that includes of the chamber of commerce, a republican-aligned group. microsoft came out and said they've got a number of employees who are daca beneficiaries. it remains to be seen how much further that is going to go. >> stocks tumbling today, relatively speaking, off by greater than 1% in the case of the dow. >> not massive, but big by recent standards, a sign of that
8:06 pm
some of the various headlines we are getting are starting to have an impact. >> the vacancies at the federal reserve are mounting. stanley fischer is stepping down from the fed next month. he cited personal reasons in his letter of resignation to president donald trump. fischer has been a reliable ally of fed chair janet yellen. >> to me, the takeaway of stanley fischer's resignation is twofold. it means one more vacancy to fill, which means there will be more to fill in terms of the overall board, but two, it means the fomc is losing an important voice on the committee. they are losing somebody who has been important in terms of shaping the path of central-bank policy. >> you've still got janet yellen and dudley as the rest of the policy troika. short-term, those decisions will continue, but by february, you could see five new people on the fed, combined with the existing
8:07 pm
governors and the rotating seats, and the beginnings of a real change. >> president trump and congressional leaders, agreeing to an emergency aid package for harvey victims and a short-term debt ceiling deal. >> we have an extension, which will go out until december 15. that will include the debt ceiling, the cr's, and harvey. >> at this white house meeting, donald trump listens and decides, we will go with the democrats. they do have a deal, but beware of december. when you are doing your christmas shopping, we could be in a crisis. >> nobody saw it coming. nobody knows what led to this. we know democrats came out with an idea this morning, schumer and pelosi, do this for three inths, return to this december. this was a remarkable fun in the eye of speaker ryan and leader mcconnell.
8:08 pm
this was not something they expected the president to do. >> all eyes are on the ecb rate decision, dropping in just one moment. we have the deposit facility remaining unchanged at -40 basis rate comingain refi in unchanged at 0%, and ecb saying that qe can be increased in size and duration if the outlook worsens. they want to see sustainability in their inflation path. >> mario draghi says the euro is a source of uncertainty. markets have been waiting to see if draghi would try to drop the euro down after its rise this year. reaction, doess that tell us that draghi wasn't as forthcoming in his jawboning as he could've been? >> he didn't use some of the words he has used in the past, like "serious cause for concern," but he did point out it is a potential source for concern.
8:09 pm
yet the markets look to the other way and presumably focused more on the fact that he said the asset purchase program will reach a decision next month. that tells you that tapering is on its way. euro is opinion, the rising despite the ecb. value,ake this at face then it is more of a dollar move. broaderhave is a much dollar-weakening move. the euro is another manifestation of that. >> businesses and residents are bracing for the worst as hurricane irma braces towards florida. irma, which is now a category four storm, is forecast to hit directly by sunday. irma has spurred the biggest

8:14 pm
>> united technologies snapped up rockwell collins $423 billion. it's one of the biggest takeovers in aviation history. makes a lot of strategic sense, clearly creating the world's largest aerospace supplier with $40 billion in revenue, which tops thege's and honeywell's of world. it creates a tremendous opportunity for scale. the financial sense is a question mark that has yet to be answered. 14 times ebitda is good value. i think that is another question that remains to be seen, the financial aspect. forhird time's the charm schneider electric, the french company reaching an agreement to take control of british software maker of eva. it remains to be seen how
8:15 pm
that goes through. it's an interesting deal structure. they are getting control of andt 60% of the shares, it's like a reverse takeover almost. the deal is definitely happening. there's complexity of untangling the business. has a lot changed since the last two failures? aveva is arguing they have spun off some of their businesses. the markets have changed over the years. let's see how shareholders worked on it, and let's see if they get the regulatory approvals in place. >> angela merkel has been put on the defensive in her only televised debate of the german election campaign. rival martin schulz accused the chancellor of taking her foot off the pedal over dieselgate, while the moderator suggested the government could have done more about the scandal. >> compared to the debates we
8:16 pm
typically see in the u.s. or what we saw over brexit or in the french elections, this one was very tame. the candidates were very polite. of coarse, the two parties work together in government, so there is not a lot of mudslinging that can go on. there was, however, the challenge to angela merkel. she says she is very angry about the diesel scandal, but she hasn't done much about it, and she doesn't seem to want to do much more about it than has already been done. bank, prettyntral busy these days, saying initial coin offerings are illegal, asking all related fundraising activity to be halted. bitcoin tumbled on this news, although it also has leveled off. what does this ban cover, and what do you make of the timing? >> the ban is pretty comprehensive on all initial offerings. you can no longer raise money
8:17 pm
through them. you can no longer change them, exchange them for the yuan. it is a pretty comprehensive ban, and if you already raised money, there's a good chance you are going to have to refund that money. a lot of those have been very dodgy. businessot a real behind them, basically a lot of hype, and yet, they raise a lot of money. this is why the timing is happening right now. doublean is planning to annual deliveries of its new leaf. it's the first makeover since its introduction over seven years ago. it includes autonomous parking and increased driving range. we are now preparing for that. this is where we are.

8:19 pm
we have highlighted on resolution fees. there may be a capital impact. we are not speculating, because i think it is too early. the key driver is we are creating one day with one more way of operating, and we also need to be in an environment where we are regulated with our european peers. >> amazon is on the hunt for a second campus it is calling hq2, and it comes with a price tag of over $5 billion. amazon is asking local and state governments to submit proposals. what do we know about this? why did amazon make this a public contest, and how many new hires will they be making? >> they will make 50,000 hires. the number they gave was 15-17
8:20 pm
years. it's pretty unusual when you look at how amazon goes about building new offices and buying real estate. try to be quiet. they have gone so far as to say they have special tax structures to shield the fact they are looking at new places. this is going to be a massive new campus. they went so far as to call it another new headquarters. >> one of the most extensive cyber security breaches in history, equifax hit with a cyber attack that left almost half the u.s. population exposed. >> one of the things that is almost certain, when this breach was announced, equity facts -- ofifax tried to get all their ducks in a rocha, but there is a lot of information
8:21 pm
that has not come out yet. discovered, weas don't know if that means that the data left of the system. they may have discovered malware on the system. there is a lot of stuff at play. given the selloff of shares by the executives, there's going to be a demand to know the timeline. companies don't like giving that information out. >> at the same time, we had civil lawsuits filed yesterday. how much more can we expect of that, and do you have any idea of the kind of money we are talking about/ >> these incidents make consumers angry, and civil lawsuits follow. that shouldn't be able to get 143 million customers -- there ought to be a lot of safeguards, and if that is not happening, that will go into a civil suit.

trump's business councils before it dissolved following his remarks after the charlottesville protest. i'm curious what was going through your mind as that was unfolding? american, i was horrified to see people marching in the streets with nazi flags. how could you not be? built our company as a place where anyone is welcome and anyone can succeed, and i think the hate and anger that whether ithe world, is in charlottesville or barcelona or any of the terrors around the world, this is not the answer to the challenges that exist. i was absolutely horrified to see that. >> i'm sure you faced your own moral dilemma when you were
8:26 pm
wondering how you should respond. why did you remain on the council when others were leaving? discussion among ceos. we were calling each other. what do we do? how do we talk about this with of, notle in terms specific to a council or anything like that, but how can we be a constructive force given this hate that is out there? as we were having that conversation, the president decided to dissolve the councils. responsibility to our and to the world. i think we can be a positive voice for change and progress.
8:27 pm
>> when it comes to the policy issues, tax reform or immigration, what are you hoping to see from this president? >> we were very vocal in speaking up against the border adjustment tax. we thought that was a bad idea. for all of the folks who said, you shouldn't meet with the president -- well, i'm glad i met with the president. it was a really bad idea. we are going to continue to speak up no matter who is in charge. i think that is our responsibility. matt: coming up on "bloomberg most" more of the week's compelling conversations, including interviews with top russian fiscal and monetary policy makers. mark mobius says he is not pulling his money out of south korea, but he has some concern. there is going to be a

equity markets, credit markets, have been reasonably strong. there has been a lot of uncertainty that seems to be getting discounted, so it does not feel like it is priced into the market. if one of these hopefully low probability -- you will see a move in the markets that is more dramatic. matt: investors are watching russia. a key player in international, political, and economic negotiations. guy johnson attended this week's moscow financial form and spoke with two senior policy officials. never give our forecast. we never give estimates about what we will do with the policymaking. it will be up to the board of directors that will take a decision at a subsequent meeting. if we look at our track record in the past year, the board has

symmetrical is the target? -- target. how symmetrical is the target? are you has happy to be above it or below it? how much symmetry is around the target and how much tolerance do you have for being away from it, away from that kind of target? that always made it clear 4% is our target, but that does not mean inflation will stay at 4% any given day, week, or month. there will be fluctuations. we are prepared for that. it will be going up and down around this 4%, and we think 4.4% or 3.3% is within the core door for us -- corridor for us. what is important is to understand the nature of the fluctuation and to come up with correct measures to respond to those. we need to understand which factors led to this fluctuation
8:37 pm
and to see whether they are sustainable, whether the trend will persist or not. starteden when we first inflation targeting, we studied very closely the expense of other countries and some of them decided to determine a court or -- corridor of acceptable fluctuations come up but we decided not to do that for a very clear reason. if we do that while inflation expectations are not anchored, people would expect inflation to stay at the higher end of the corridor. we did not want that to happen, so we need to act on a case-by-case basis. analysiso do our constantly because the economy is a living organism and we need to keep track of all the changes that are happening. ♪ not planning any
