>> good morning. the region continues to hold its breath awaiting military action by the united states and other countries in response to the reported chemical weapons attack in the town of dumas. the ap reported that this hour, citing the russian military that the syrian regime is now in full control of the previously rebel held towns in anticipation of an attack. there were reports of syrian military is relocating potential targets such as aircraft and unlike a year ago launching missile strikes, following the syrian gas attack, this time the coalition is going to be taking action. it seems increasingly likely the u.k. and france will take part if there is military action. quoted as saying that all indications are that president bashar al-assad were responsible for the use of chemical weapons and it cannot go unchallenged.

despite president trump street calling the syrian leader a gas killing animal in still in evaluation of whether or not there's enough evidence to bring the regime. he took a more measured approach. listen.

destroying the the infrastructure supply bases, stuff like that is just as good. gerri: a lot of fire power in the region. and position off the coast of syria, they have 75 tomahawk missiles on board. the french have their worship and position and you know what, so do the russians. satellite images showing 11 russian warships they will put out to sea. so there is fire power in the region. is this a question of who uses it first? >> i don't think so. the british also have tomahawks. so there are reports that back channels. again, we are speculating here. but my guess is if the russians tried to limit the scope of what's going to happen unlimited potential for direct confrontation between russians and americans. >> they are giving us conflict the messages.

the syrian government has nothing to do with the alleged chemical attack and they are blaming it on the rescue group here. we are getting mixed messages out of russia. if there is a coordinated response by the west in syria, how do we expect russia to retaliate? >> this is one of the interesting points. the russians can the syrians and iranians actually all have different goals here. the russians don't share the goals of their allies. they keep inside and power come up a crisis coming in their region. they keep going that the correct economic deals. they are good here. assad wants all his territory back. that doesn't necessarily do anything for the russians. iranians when a dagger pointed at the heart of israel. so the russians here in a situation where their allies be more aggressive pushing and

bumping up against turkey in the united states is actually a problem for the russians. >> in the meantime, waiting to see what happens when the president is threatening on twitter a military response. james comer thank you. drink your apple named the new head of music to overtake spotify. hillary vaughn joins us on that. >> hey, good morning again. the company is looking to boost its subscribers as it looks to find a way to boost revenue. joining apple in 2004, he introduced itunes and will now become the vp of apple music and international content. apple music is a hard climb towards subscribers. competition spotify in the battle for users. 40 million subscribers. spotify had 71 million premium subscribers that apple music is

regards to that allies -- middle east with the with the rebels firing missiles at aramco facilities. that is a significant impact particularly if they end up damaging facilities and if the situation escalates. gerri: you know, we've been watching this decline in stock prices. the button oil we've experienced for so long with the crude prices here declining. now 53 million barrels above average versus 302 last year. when you look at this, where is this going? it is so important to all parts of the economy and certainly the markets. >> yeah, war is a drag on the economy overall. as we have conflict in the other countries, is going to be interfering with global distribution networks. sanctions against russia, trade work, all of this is not good

for distributing oil around the world and that will affect markets in a negative way. it will be tracking down. i get reminded of george washington's trade with all entanglements with none. i am just worried that we will get dragged down more and more the region. >> a lot of people say that the kind of trade tensions we are experiencing will end up being a tax on consumers of course. this isn't done yet. i want to turn to you as we talk about the fed and the likely impact of the rate hikes that are coming. we've been talking about june being the next week for fed hikes. clearly it could be early or getting what said in fed minutes. expectations we would've to 2%% inflation target sooner than expected. what do you see in your crystal ball for rate hikes? >> i wouldn't be surprised if it came earlier and up to 2% inflation number ended up being

conservative comments -- with oil prices continue to go higher. we have very, very low unemployment. we have a huge boost in federal spending and if oil prices go higher, that could be what takes it over to me the real inflation. i'm not talking about anything to get too worked up about. or anything about inflation with averages over 3% over the past hundred years, 2% is not that high. i would not be surprised at all if at the end of 2018 we look back and see the prices went up within 2%. gerri: a long way to go. thank you for coming on. appreciate your time. lauren: coming up, what happened after the yankees designated hitter got hit with this? jared max is warning up for that. we will see him in a few. both markets that flak today as
