[laughter] overnight, the turkish swap rates went from 23% last week to 1300% today, which is a stupid number because it essentially shuts off the rate. any foreign investor in turkey will be unable to hedge their currency exposure at levels like that. it keeps them exposed and i have to look for alternatives, so other currencies are getting hit today because it is a proxy hedge. >> the u.s. housing index showing mixed signals this year with a decline in starts numbers casting a shadow on the real estate market. give us the latest data showing these mixed signals in the real estate market and what it is telling us. >> today, we had housing starts, and unfortunately, it is another negative sign for the housing market. we saw that dip in 2018, sort of the year that home builders and home buyers an

we already see in turkey the president of turkey erdogan taking advantage of this attack telling his supporters on an election campaign yesterday to watch the live feed of the gunman, understand anti-muslim hostility in the west. we want to reject that. so it is very important to distinguish lethal xenophobia from islamphobia, the refusal to examine all the ideology that leads to go hjihadism. clearly they were victims and innocent tragedies which the decency and nobility of new zealand is coping with now. but this is very different than theislamphobia. >> and you alluded to the concerns of exemploy tagploitat attack, the live streaming, people who were trying to get their hands on seeing the images that have been taken down universally on the web. what is your concern about how people would use that to exploit the attack? >> not only what you are describing as this could inspire all kinds of other supremacists, this is a poorly recruiting video for sxwrjihadists, but th seed to tell the frightened public that we are going to divide our magnificent societies like we have here in the

early in his term was asked who he had his best relationship with and he mentioned the russian and erdogan before the murders. still pretty bad. the reality is that the american people don't care as much as they need to about this. >> that brings me to you. on one hand, you can sit here and say this is a national security concern that should be debated. we should have this debate and it is we know, unless there are americans at risk of getting killed in a war, we don't care about foreign policy as a campaign issue. >> we are not talking about foreign policy in the context of this campaign and not seeing a lot of democrats talking about foreign policy. voters and democrats and republicans, it's not a top issue for them. the economy and immigration and jobs and health care have been dominating the conversation. we didn't talk at all about national security or foreign policy. at all. the last time it was an issue was during the primary in 2008 and with the iraq war and before that in 2004 with bush prosecuting the iraq war against john kerry. >> for voters to consume in a way they should be c

, but announcing publicly we're leaving, throwing our allies under the bus, ceding the terrain to erdogan as a foolhardy decision. now announcing publicly 200 to 400 troops will stay in isolated patches in syria strikes me as totally irresponsible. i don't like to see symbolic use of u.s. military power. we had to fight and kill a couple hundred russian mercenaries in syria a year ago. this is a very dangerous ground. the president should not be determining head count. he's supposed to do strategy. >> and can't we assume, general, that if the head count is 400 and if it's general votel who has decided who stays and who goes, those are essential personnel. we're conducting air strikes. we were overnight with american aircraft. that needs forward air controllers. that needs air crews on the ground somewhere. >> well, exactly. thank god for the u.s. navy and air force strike options. that's been a huge part of the hammer we've been using. we actually had u.s. army and marine artillery units in country also operating very small elements. but, look, we don't want the white house determining th

viviana: the turkish lira rebounding after plunging more than 5% friday after president erdogan warned speculate against the currency would be punished. recommending lira was written by jp morgan. a declaration coming hours after a kurdish fighting first in syria claimed victory is the first time the u.s. military has terrorist group no the territory claims as its caliphate. and a rocket hit a home in the gaza strip, escalating tensions just two weeks before national elections. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he is cutting short his visit to washington, d.c. because of the attack. this morning, he will meet with president trump before traveling back to israel. global news 24 hours a day on air, and on @tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. so much paid equities, bonds, currencies, commodities. a little follow on to what we 2/10's showinghe re-steepening. 17.17 --y back up to 17.17. way back up to francine: i am looking at stocks. they are starting the week in a groovy mood. european shares are down. and i'm looking at a

erdogan calls the sale a done deal. it is a top start to the year for alan howard. fund he -- fell 8.5%..5% the macro fund gained 30%. lack stone is signaling the appetite -- blackstone is signaling the appetite for equity is not over yet. in january, blackstone said it planned to take in $100 billion this year. global news on aaron online at tictoc -- on air and on tictoc on twitter. been too long since we checked in on the challenges of e.u. banking. all of this is wonderful given that we will speak to corrado for sarah -- how is the anglo-saxoning going? give us an update on how e.u. banking is adapting and adjusting to 2025. >> that is a pretty big question. from they different italian banks dealing with the bad debt they need to bring down to be able to return, to lend more aggressively to banks such as deutsche bank grappling with a question of what they want to be, that they can find a way to sustain profitability. it's a pretty big question. i think there are a lot of challenges and you can see that with european banks trading at a deep discount. remembere m

people to assassinate the london mayor, also german chancer angela merkel and the turkish president erdogan. a lot of hate-filled rhetoric and nods as well to the right wing, far right wing memes that have got a lot of traction on the internet. but i do think it will be quite a difficult task for investigators pouring over this to try to decipher what's a smoke screen, what's real? was he a lone wolf? is he part of a larger network? is this likely to inspire copycat killings of this nature? >> julia, when i read through this manifesto, what truck me is that t struck me is that the language could have been chanted in charlottesville. the word replacement is everywhere the word invasion is everywhere. and i suppose what i want to know and what we need to know at this point is how pervasive is this hate around the world and how provocative is it to, perhaps, spur more violence like this? >> well, the first question how pervasive, it's as pervasive as the internet. this hate of exactly what you said, john, of replacement, of invasion, is viewed by those who believe it as a zero sum game. so we'
