why not have -- >> you are saying that under german chancellor angela merkel it has radically changedparty that hasn't changed is the bavarian-based csu. and german chancellor angela her party pushed towards the center. maybe we need another write-in party? let's see if they can survive without german chancellor angela merkel? >> yes. >> very briefly, come back to your opening statement in which your needs to become better in addressing the reasons that make refugees leave their countries in the first place. you share that opinion with the chancellor. she has said we need to address migration at its root causes, but let's be realistic. germany is a small country in the middle of europe. do you think it is going to manage to put out the conflagration in the middle east? >> germany by itself isn't. europe as a whole, there needs to be more european solidarity in dealing with this crisis and the root causes. in practical terms, i think there needs to be more money for those places where migration pressure is emerging. that is the important part. >> we don't have that cooperation. we seem

angela merkel still a very popular politician. i don't see a real threat to her chancellorship at the moment. anchor: simon young, thank you for joining us today. turkey has excepted 2.5 million refugees, mainly from syria. most of them find shelter in crowded camps in tent cities. many are desperate to make it to europe. we spoke with two syrian refugees in istanbul. reporter: the square has become a central place for refugees in turkey's biggest city. human traffickers pickup customers hoping to reach the eu. mohammed has thought about making the trip himself. he fled syria two years ago when he was 18 to avoid conscription in the syrian army. as always, he finds men selling lifejackets for the trip to greece. one time he almost went with a trafficker, but then backed out. but just barely eking out a living himself, he has regrets that he stayed. >> imagine the different life here. i had hoped to send money back to my family and syria, but i don't even make enough to support myself. reporter: mohammed shows us where he lived unt

i think that angela merkel is really out on a limb here. isis is trying to saw through that as quickly as humanly possible. i think angela merkel doesn't understand is, she feels very emotional about this issue it reminds me of the east german background and the unification. it was enormously expensive and very challenging but everyone in europe and the united states were behind the germans. they wanted them to succeed. here she says i will take leadership on the refugees. equally challenging, incredibly expensive. she doesn't have the europeans behind her. she doesn't have americans behind her. she doesn't even have the majority of the american -- german people. for is incredibly unnerving merkel. think what -- incredibly different from the wall coming down. i do fear that the backlash she will receive is really going to undermine her leadership. the one thing we have been able to count on since the financial crisis hit europe was strong leadership from chancellor angela merkel. i fear that is no longer something we can count on at all. >>

in the end, mark role -- in the end angela merkel left with no applause. those rather extraordinary. sarah: correspondent there in munich. we have to take a short break. when we come back, a check on our top story. a malian officials saying all of the hostages being held at the luxury hotel in bamako have been freed. at least 18 people, though, were said to have been killed. security forces say two of the attackers are among the dead. all that and more, stay with us. us, let's get a check on our main headline. a malian official says all of the hostages being held at a luxury hotel in the capital of bamako have been freed. at least 18 people have been thought to have been killed. two of the attackers are among the dead. suspected jihadists took an estimated 170 people hostage in the radisson blu hotel at the city center. for some perspective on all of this, let's bring in the head of the friedrich ebert foundation, based in bamako in mali. a lot of people are saying they are not surprised about this attack. the country has been tense with political unrest a

himself and said it is only angela merkel and zeho ffer that can make this change. clearly at odds with merkel on refugees. guy: thank you. hans nichols, our international correspondent. philip is still with us. you think she is in trouble. >> it is the first crack in the facade, the first break. it is a fundamental break. if you look across europe, politics has changed arguably in every single nation. the new politics are going to be working class and protectionist -nationalist. if you believe that the rise of the robots stuff, most of the middle class jobs are going to vanish. and actually, once that rises in germany, what most people do not germany has the highest rate of policy, inequality, in the whole of europe. i think there is a constituency that could oppose merkel. being wrong on migration is one of those axis essential questions that will not come back the other way. migrants coming to europe will potentially be 100 times greater than that currently being experienced, and the terror threat willingly rise. if you are out of step with the changes is when you

sarah: is this a defeat for angela merkel? a couple of months ago, she basically opened her arms to refugees arriving from syria. is this a defeat for her? >> we will look of the situation, maybe in 10 years time, and then see whether it was a defeat or not. i think it is one of the strongest points in her whole chancellory that she has said right from the beginning, we will manage the situation. we have not created it, but it is there. we are strong enough to deal with it. we have a strong enough economy. we will work together as our european partners -- with our european partners. that sends a strong message that should resonate. sarah: thank you very much for your perspective. now to some other stories making news around the world. investigators in cairo are investigating the black boxes of the russian plane that crashed in egypt. unconfirmed reports say noises and characteristic of a normal flight were recorded in the cockpit just before the crash. there was a heat flash. all 224 people on board were killed. turkish police

angela merkel scrambled away, she probably never got there. keep you updated, that is a story developing as we speak. now france, back to the issue here is stepping up the push for a single alliance to combat isis. president hollande will travel to washington to meet with president obama. the french president then heads to moscow to do the same with russian president vladimir putin. i asked how he approached protecting israel regardless of political correctness. >> we are a democracy, we are very, very vibrant democracy which we're very much proud of. but we are a democracy under attack, and we have to defend ourselves and our values and our way of lives. we say human rights before or human lives sometime before human rights. liz: howard leach likely grappled with the same concerns. he became the u.s. ambassador to france a few months before 9/11. the attacks here in new york and in america. he's here in a fox business exclusive. human rights versus human lives. the israelis straddled that under great criticism. we now have the migrant situati

that is a challenge and a problem for angela merkel. if it turns that the migrants are coming into europe through this open door policy and committing atrocities, that is a conversation that will start to take place in berlin and across your money. guy in paris.t to what is the latest on the investigations being carried out in paris? they are trying to piece together exactly what happened and how this process ultimately ended up with the attacks friday night. the forensic examination that is ongoing and will continue for many days and weeks. security will remain tight for quite some time. we heard from the president yesterday. he called a state of emergency that will last for at least three months. the paris hands will have to get used to a higher level -- the parisians will have to get used to a higher level of the security. for saleh abdeslam continues. they think this lot was planned in syria, organized in brussels, and carried out in france. are looking for, abdelhamid abaaoud, is a said to have put the entire thing together. author

we were talking about angela merkel and how her politics survived the events we saw on friday. the european project is bigger has angela merkel, but she been so crucial to it over the last decade. how much should we link two? her ability to survive this and the broader european story? kristin: i think merkel must being there anymore is one of the key risks for the european project. she has been very important in establishing this help for reform approach we have now. if the country does reform, it does get the help. that even applies to greece. she has established that rule and fought for it in various negotiations. she has always been able to commit germany to helping in the end. who replaces her has huge boots to fill. not only in at the negotiations, but committing germany to helping. anna: you don't think she is going anywhere anytime soon? kristin: even though her popularity ratings are down, at 49% she is still above any other. much,thank you very kristin scholz. up next on the program, a rate hike. what it would mean for emerging markets. ♪ >> we have a fragile, cyclical

within the hour france's president hollande and angela merkel are meeting today to discuss efforts tobuild an allied coalition to fight isis in the aftermath of the paris attacks. this comes as france's national assembly approved the air strikes against isis in syria. now 24 hours after hollande meeting with president obama in washington and one day before he heads on to moscow to meet with russian president vladimir putin, all of this is taking place. and this is all running a parallel track while the international manhunt is on for suspected terrorists, mohamed abrini and salah abdelslam. we are also learning a memorial service for the victim of the attacks is scheduled for friday. but i want to take you back to washington's union station where jay johnson is about to speak. let's listen in. >> good afternoon, everybody. as i get ready to catch my train on one of the busiest travel days of the year, i'm honored to be joined with chief hanson of amtrak police and chief dine of the chief of the capitol police here. as the president said a few moments ago, we continue to know of no spe

anchor: let's get some analysis on angela merkel's visit to paris. jennifer, a very good evening. ear -- hearing from francois hollande, asking germany to commit even more to the fight against islamic state, what is germany's position on this? merkel made it clear that she would not rule out andher military engagement that they would take this very seriously. germany has not really taken part in any offensive military operations, for historical reasons. [indiscernible] that help is in the for of training missions the peshmerga -- the kurdish peshmerga fighting isis. [indiscernible] possibly in mali. [indiscernible] ease the e.u.g to burden. other than that, merkel would have to go to parliament. [indiscernible] rochelle: we are having a slight problem with the clarity there. we will leave it there for now. thank you. france's lower house of parliament has voted to extend airstrikes against islamic state targets in syria after the group claimed responsibility for deadly attacks in paris. the national assembly voted to approve the measure with 515 votes for and just four votes agains

is it what chancellor angela merkel really wants? and the french soccer star charged with blackmailing a teammate with a sex tape. i'm brent goff. good to have you with us. they are coming home. in the last hour, british tourist have been told they will be a lot out -- allowed to board planes the getting friday. the british government struck a deal with egypt on new security measures, this a day after the you cases spend flights to and from the resort -- the u.k. suspended all flights to and from the resort after a bomb reportedly brought down a russian flight. reporter: the tragedy is now becoming a diplomatic row. the british government says their intelligence points toward a terror attack. they have unscheduled flights until security is improved. they are sending flights to bring tourists him. education president of delphi toss cc -- of delphi top all -- al-sisi was in rome. >> of course i cannot be sure a bomb brought that plane down, but if the judgment is that is a more likely than not outcome, i think it is right to act in the

german chancellor angela merkel stressed the importance of getting ankara's cooperation. chancellor merkel: we want to better fight the causes of migration. and by doing so, reduce the number of refugees. all member states were agreed on that. sarah: and now, just a few minutes ago, our senior european correspondent summed up the day's developments at the malta summit, stressing that action will speak a lot louder than action plans. reporter: the eu's short-term problem is on the southeastern border. of course, the migrants coming through syria, then turkey, taking the western balkans route into the european union. what the european union is trying to do against it is an action plan with turkey. that one is not finalized yet, but it contains more money and closer cooperation. that's what they are trying to do here. but if you look at the scale of the problem and compare it to africa, it almost seems tiny. because africa, of course, is a huge continent with huge problems, millions of people on the move, dreaming of the field -- of a better future. what's the answer here? an

here in paris, the french president meets the german chancellor angela merkel.ancois hollande seeks further support in the fight against terror following deadly attacks in paris. the surviving pilot of the russian plane shot down by turkey says turkish jets issued no warnings beforehand. ankara says that it was unaware the plane was russian. a key driver of violence warns of the need to tackle poverty. --

hollande urged angela merkel to step up germany's government been to the cause. ryan chilcote is in moscow for us. things have changed a lot since hollande first planned his trip to russia. update us. russia's spat with turkey is only growing. russia today announcing new restrictions on turkish imports. there is some talk that they could go after food imports. it looks like they are going after industrial goods like detergent, some food imports. this after many russian tour operators canceled packages for russian tourists to turkey. turkey is the biggest destination for russian tourists outside the former soviet union. this is a trade response, not a military response. if you look at the ruble today, you see something interesting. thisuble down just a cad morning, but so is oil. you look at the last five days, what you saw for the first four of them is oil going up in part because of the geopolitical risk on the table because of this incident, the downing of that jet, and the ruble going down. what we have now is more a normal situation. the ruble and the oil pri

changes things, makes things a little bit different for angela merkel.et's bring in john fry, the executive editor of international government at bloomberg. is he wrong? there is a changing balance of power story in your. as a result of this kind of story. john: you could argue that being able to deploy the army and the air force -- stopping terrorism requires a lot more sophistication than that. the army and military forces are isery blunt tool, but there a lot that angela merkel can do. we saw france invoked for the first time ever an e.u. defense clause and we will probably end up seeing germany sending 350 troops to mali which will allow francois hollande to withdraw those forces from africa. for historical reasons, germany is concerned. as a member of nato, you can find a way around a lot of these issues. francine: one of the other stories we have been watching iece werning is a great p have making the point that germany has dominated european politics for a long time. now france seems to be taking that role because of the attacks. is this more goin

angela merkel's feature is also in question. if you were to go back five or seven years and say we are going to have negative interest rates or even very low interest rates, i think we all would have thought we would have inflation or more growth and we've got low growth and no inflation. what will the monetary authorities do if this does not work? what does this mean for currencies? does this mean they are going to keep pushing the theme of a currency war? ultimately a zero sum game. francine: is in a bubble? jane: by definition, we can only really tell for sure afterwards. certainly there is a feeling that we are potentially in a bubble and as hans mentioned, there's a lot of talk about property bubbles in germany. if we look at other countries including switzerland, sweden, australia, new zealand, yes, there are or have been property bubbles and this is a function of the same trend, which is cheap money. jane foley from rabobank. we will be talking a little bit more about japan and abenomics. let's look at live pictures from

david: i am also concerned about what happens with angela merkel. en you have been talking about european leadership, you have been talking about merkel, one person. will that undermine her leadership? hans: on her country's response to the refugee crisis, to migration, she has a bit of a in the name of document out mohammed. mohammed -- out had not quite made the link that it was an individual that had gone through the migratory route. we now have that link from fingerprints. we know that a 25-year-old, the bomber that was found here, arrived in greece october 3. by october 6 he is in serbia. then he goes to macedonia, then on to austria. that he is heard from again in france six weeks later. that gives you an indication that the refugee, the migration route, which in this case could have passed through germany and pass through austria, is going to be a political challenge for angela merkel. she is facing challenges within her coalition, within her sister party, the csu, which is bearing the brunt of this in bavaria, and she is basing it within her

but even angela merkel has her limits. could she have finally met her match in the current migration crisis? that's the question we are exploring this week on "quadriga ." we have three journalists with us to explore this question. erik kirschbaum is an american journalist from new york. he works for reuters in berlin. he thinks that turmoil in merkel's party raises questions about possible intrigues behind the scenes. andrea's clue is berlin bureau ef at "the economist." he says critics are wrong to assume that merkel is going to the toppled. she remains the dominant figure in her party. corinna and once is a ard and onlineor correspondent for tagesschau.de. she says it is unclear whether merkel will keep her power. it has been a chaotic week in german politics. we've been getting mixed messages coming from the chancellor and her cabinet. erik, is this just a case of communication breakdown inside chancellor merkel's cabinet, or something more serious? erik: much more serious. thomas de maiziere is an ally of merkel. he's

russian president vladimir putin grabbing the top spot followed by angela merkel. president obama was third. is the world a riskier place for security and the economy? welcome to "forbes on fox." let's go in focus with elizabeth macdonald, mike ozania and kerry schafer, bruce jep century. kerry, isn't it a problem when our enemies are more powerful than we are? >> it is. this metric is one of many other things. we can pick through the list. when this president leaves office we'll have it's ironic that the president said we are pulling out of foreign entanglements like afghanistan in order to strengthen things at home. that hasn't happened. investors will take note. >> it's called leaving from behind. isn't it better for the world and the economy when we're on top? >> i think power when it comes to presidents is over rated. there is a belief that presidents create jobs and prosperity. the reality is we are the prosperity. we create jobs. a president that sits back and does nothing tends to see a lot of economic growth, simply because he's getting out of the way. >>

president obama and putin spoke for more than half an hour about syria and angela merkel said -- buzzt vote be blamed for what has gone on in paris. let me handed back to you. a pretty developing story through the morning as we began to understand both the security of political implications and talking about the economic applications. back to you. manus: thank you very much. toeron will not commit action without a common vote. the tenor here and the u.k. changing. let's turn our attention from europe to asia. japan is back in recession as the economy contracted for the third quarter as business investment fell and gross domestic product fell by 0.8% through september. economists estimated decline of 0.2%. bloomberg's james joins us. take me through, under the hood of these numbers. worst of than expected, what is the interpretation? worse today was a lot of than what people were expecting. this is investment was weaker as everybody was expecting a present consumption was a little bit stronger than most people thought. what attracted down the numbers were inventories. inventories and f
