. >> geoffrey had kind of brainwashed him into joining as well. >> so you think geoffrey was the one who made the younger brother extreme? >> definitely, yeah. >> in 2012 and '13, authorities may have had their best chance to stop this american isis cell. the fbi got a tip warning that geoffrey might be mixed up with jihadist extremists. what's more, geoffrey and his wife traveled to kenya, where they claim to have lost their passports. according to his skype text with phil, rasal was interviewed by the fbi and zachia and geoffrey were on the watch list for terrorism. >> his mom had called one day and i was like, how's geoffrey doing, i haven't heard from him. she goes, geoffrey joined isis and he went overseas with his wife and then he also took her brother. so they all went to go fight, all three of them. >> that was news to phil chu in columbus. >> when did you learn that he'd actually gone to syria to join isis? >> i didn't know about the isis part until today. right now. >> you didn't know until right now? >> i didn't know until right now. he actually is? >> yes.

let's get back to geoffrey yu. greece, does it sound like it is done to you? geoffrey: close. think the markets have ever treated this as an issue is and all the other issues around europe. they don't need a financial crisis on top of the migrant crisis. if you look at how euro-swiss has done, eurozone-specific issues is probably the only aspect which can get people to bid on swiss franc versus euro again. matt: i am back, guys. can you hear me? guy: you found your voice. my master plan to silence matt miller has failed. matt: since i've been over here about a week, i've heard a lot of complaints from german citizens, even as their growth is the best it has been in at least two years. 0.7% in the last quarter. most germans seem very displeased with angela merkel's handling of the migrant situation and the situation in greece. it seems that and a time when the economy is doing so well, it is not helping her out. do you find that interesting as well? geoffrey: it depends whether the economy -- we look at the numbers -- if that is trickling down. how are they feeling it? one thin

it is less about geoffrey's clients -- go ahead.ine: i understand christine lagarde has been talking about the new mediocre but it feels like it has shifted from the new mediocre to a darn difficult environment. that is morethink a question of certain industries talking their books and people making excuses rather than adapting. last time you had me on, we talked about this. it's a sustainable growth rate now. these countries, including much of western europe, it is not debt fueled growth, it is not fiscal field, it is sustainable, low growth. tom: what we are is the second derivative action. the idea of trichet's brutal moves. we had euro -dollar yesterday, the shock and off austro you could this morning, michael mckee mentioning emerging-market currencies are weak. is sense of our viewers these exogenous events going on. should policymakers be aware of those are should they have blinders on looking at their narrow interest? dr. posen: i think they should be aware of those at that is different from saying they should react quickly

. >> let's bring in geoffrey in on that one, how are you positioning? >> we are thinking the move back to 155 or 160 over 12 months is achievable. and it's contingent on several scenarios surrounding the referendum at this point. but i agree that's probably one of the underpricings in the market right now in regard to the political market you have to place on the eurozone integration or the lack of in the event of the adverse referendum. we'll cross that bridge when we get there. for now we are still looking at the uk's domestic ranks. a few people are wondering if domestic momentum is so weak such as after the vote in itself will be respective. we need to look into the proportionary stimulus. but as things stand right now, they can stay the course. the next move is still a rate hike. >> what is a non-railroad trade? >> a risk on, risk off trade. >> you think you have and australian dollar trade and find out the world goes risk off and they sell aussie. find the peers that can exclude risk on, risk off. if you wanted to sell australia, think about buyin

. >> reporter: geoffrey pyatt is the american ambassador to ukraine. the u.s. has sanctions against russia because of the crimean annexation. pyatt says that amidst the diplomatic pressure and war of words, crimea's tatars shouldn't be overshadowed. >> crimea is not going to be returned to ukrainian sovereignty over the short term. and the tatar community understands that. to have a community like the tatars which is notably tolerant, notably inclusive, makes it even more important that we not allow their story to be forgotten. >> reporter: recently, crimean tatars have taken dramatic steps to make sure they aren't forgotten. last year they created a blockade of the roads leading from ukraine into crimea, jamming an economic life line. and activists believed to include crimean tatars blew up the power lines still serving crimea, plunging the peninsula into darkness for weeks. but most crimean tatars acknowledge they won't be going home any time soon, including journalist osman pashayev, who had been detained while covering commemorations of the historic deporta

geoffrey fettus, senior attorney for the national resources defense council. thanks for being with us. you're recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, chairman whitfield and ranking member rush. >> pull it up close. >> i'm -- >> pull it closer to you. >> is it working? thank you. thank you, chairman whitfield, rush, distinguished members of the committee. it's a great honor to be here. i'll highlight a few points here. first, with respect to hr 4979 which requires d.o.e. and nrc to work together to work to develop plan with public input for advanced reactor licensing systems, such a charge has merit in that it asks two of the relevant federal agencies to work together. but some cautions are in order. 270 days is far too short a time to both gather and analyze the necessary technical and regulatory information and provide for public comment with respect to such a complicated set of economic, security, and environmental challenges as those faced by the licensing of advanced reactors. further, both epa and the president's council on environmental quality should

i will be interviewing geoffrey lacher tomorrow on bloomberg radio and then we hear from stanley fischernd bill dudley. a lot more for traders to incorporate. we could see a big change in the outlook this week. david: thanks very much to mike mckee. jonathan: with the big guys coming up, over to japan now where the economy. a recession. we want to get the details. 2015 was ugly. it looks ugly of the first quarter. put it all together for me. >> good morning. japan escape recession, but if you look, there is plenty to be cautious about. japanese are sitting on a lot of cash, there is a real drive on the economy to drag on confidence. it is important in the context of the big policy debate and raising sales tax. spending, government is across the lines so today's numbers are preliminary. when you consider the soft backdrop to the economy, is eager the headline but plenty for the government to worry about. jonathan: with a good headline, maybe that is a problem because the fx market has stabilized as well. what is going to be the message from the japanese authorities and their counterparts.
