This hour a mixed picture there. Very much a flat situation. Cac is down a fraction and dax index as well, right around where it opened up 17 points. Overnight in asia, slight gains across the board there, very much a fractional situation with markets not moving much overnight in asia. Our top store as many as 10 gunmen in mali apparently attacking a luxury hotel taking a number of people hostage including foreigners, including french citizens. Identity of hostage takers are not known but believed to be islamic militants. We want to bring in former pentagon official, aei scholar Michael Rubin and Washington Examiner reporter, David Drucker in washington. Michael, you actually stayed in this hotel. What should we look for in the active hostage gun situation . Maria there is precedent here. If you remember back in 2008, there was terrorist hostage taking in mumbai, india. That didnt end well. One of the problems we have if these terrorists are intent simply causing carnage, inspired by the Islamic State for example, then it is going to be very difficult to rescue the hostages. Of course weve also had a great deal of political instability in mali in recent years with french intervention to defeat al qaeda in islamic maghreb to take over that country. Maria you think that is what is behind this, relationship between mali and the french . Why mali . I think frankly its a soft target. You have westerners staying in the middle of the hotel. If there is a crackdown in europe, if there is a crackdown where it is impossible to create sort of carnage they did in paris just a couple weeks ago, this provides a target of opportunity. Unfortunately, taking these soft targets either in european capitals, outside of europe or even in the United States i think will become the new normal. Maria David Drucker, weigh in here. This as the house was poised to approve Syrian Refugees bill yesterday. How do you see it from washington . You know look, the bill was approved in the house. I think now the question what happens in the senate where it is subject to filibuster. Are democrats siding with president . Will they first of all give this thing 60 votes it needs to get to the president s desk. Second of all would it get to 67 which is enough for veto override which is margin we saw veto override margin yesterday in the house. Maria Keith Mccullough, seeing live tweet in breaking news. Modern age we get live updates. Whether theyre true or not. Security forces stormed bamako hotel, three dead, 15 hostages freed. How quickly can they react, who is controlling the situation . Maria david . Oh, well, look, i think it all depends on what the situation is. Maria people were freed if they could cite verses from the koran. They were talking about the koran. This is only way theyre freeing anyone from the hotel right now. Does that how do you read that . I read that, we have a situation in which islamistinspired terrorists are simply out to target westerners. Perhaps theyre doing this in order to maintain some degree of Popular Support in overwhelmingly muslimmajority country like mali. I dont think they will have that support. Mali is recovering from its 20122013 instability. The tourist trade is actually important. So i think people will be bitter about this. That said, when were looking at stories of storming the hotel, remember the french do have forces in mali because of what happened. Therefore not simply going to be malians going in on their own. Presumably they will be taking some advice. These french are not as soft as people thought. These guys are pretty hardcore. To michaels point, religious makeup of mali is almost 95 muslim, a majority. But there is only 5 of the population that is not muslim. Mike, i want to ask you, how do we fit into fighting the global now we can call it a global war on terror . Because were still a marginal actor in even what france along with russia is doing in syria and even locally. Were still on the sidelines. Certainly heightened awareness about potential attack here but where do we fit in to this picture . Well, we fit in because this terrorism is motivated by ideology and therefore we are considered part of the problem. Unfortunately, secretary of state john kerry and many in the state Department Still want to look at terrorism through the lens of grievance which can be comforting. If it is done through the lens of grievance you can use diplomacy to extricate yourself from situation. Unfortunately that doesnt reflect reality. No matter what diplomatic formulas to address various grievances sectarian politics in baghdad other issues the fact is Islamic State and those inspired by it will come after us whether we like it or not. Maria we still dont know whether this is isis or al qaeda. It was talked about earlier this could be al qaeda. Is there anything specific to the situation that would indicate which group it might be and what, how that might make this different . I mean to some extent there is a degree of alphabet soup in all of this. Osama bin laden famously said, everyone love as strong horse. Whether al qaeda in the islamic maghreb or Islamic State, the fact of the matter it is all going towards the same aim and there is shifting movement between the various groups. We shouldnt constrain ourselves looking into as if they have the same sort of organizational structure as german businesses. Maria i see. To ideology, michael, many would say that the koran says this is exactly when they think they should be doing. How would you react to that . Well, ultimately, it depend on ones reading of the koran. What is important to remember however, in battle ideology we shouldnt sacrifice our National Security on al tar of political correctness. When people want to extricate religious motivation from this, we forget were not doing service to moderate muslims because even though headlines from westerners are targeted, people who do most of the dying in fight against radical islamism are moderate muslims themselves. The rate of green on green violence for example, is three times that of green on blue violence. Green on blue, for example, when afghan policeman turns his guns on nato colleagues, we forget mostly moderate muslims who do the dying. I came back from iraq. People roll their eyebrows people try to say this has nothing to do with religion. Maria when people see this is happening in mali, are they making the connection of the relationship between france and mali and you said earlier that there was obviously support from the french in terms of troops . Well they will be making that simply because the french be involved one way or another. I wouldnt say thats a motivating factor. Ultimately when people are targeting hotels and other soft targets theyre doing it because, a, they can get media attention, b, because they can target whenners. If you go after Radisson Blu Hotel in bamako you can be guaranteed you will get french citizens in there. If you get terrorists on top of that from terrorist perspective thats bonus. Maria David Drucker, what should we read in terms of level of activity going into the holidays . We know here in the u. S. , weve seen isis putting times square in video suggesting new york is on the list . What is your take in terms of this activity picking up at this moment . Well i think for people who follow this and study it on daytoday basis this is actually nothing new. What is new they were effective in paris and able to carry out a broad scale attack that had a lot of victims. But, you know, when i talk to u. S. Government officials and members of the Intelligence Committee on capitol hill this is something they have been concerned about for at least over a year. One of the things you have to worry about you have a lot of members or symphony thighsers with the Islamic State have western passports that go backpack and forth legally with ease, but government officials tell me for get we know and who were trying to track, what about the people we cant track . One of the things we go back to 2001, september 11th, one of the things we know in the years since they are always trying to plot and carry out attacks and security trying to thwart that. They have to be right once and we have to be right all the time. For people that follow this on daily basis, this is actually par for the course. Knowing is likely to change in the near future. Maria thanks very much for weighing in. Want latest out of paris. French prosecutors say a third body was found at scene of a paris suburb raid that killed mastermind behind the terrorist attacks. Ashley webster with the angle on the ground in paris. Ashley, good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you, maria. You are right, a third body believed to be that of female, the cousin of orchestrator of paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud. The French Police chief admitting a another suspect connected to those at saks attacks, Salam Abdeslam lam is missing. In fact tonight artists and cultural figures in france are calling for observation at 9 20 p. M. Local time, asking people to turn on their lights, make noise, light candles, play music to mark the time that those attacks began a week ago here in paris. They say our culture and freedom will never be thwarted by any terrorists. They wont be able to join they want to join in that commemoration tonight. So well keep an eye on that. Meanwhile eu ministers meeting in talking about tighter Border Controls. There is a lot of frustration. They are talking about same things they have been talking about over a year. The u. K. s interior minister got up today and kind of expressed her frustration saying the time for talk has ended. The time for action has begun. So some frustration there, maria. In the meantime the nervousness if you like in paris is very evident. Any store that you go into, and ive been to several stores you are immediately frisked. You have your bags checked. Some cases metal detectors are used. There is real reluctance among many parisians to go to big shopping centers. Survey showed 25 of people say theyre not going near shopping centers. Same in the u. K. 30 of people say they will not go into Central London for fear of terrorist attacks. Give you idea what this is doing to psyche of people here in europe, maria, it is really putting a freeze on activity, ashley. Well keep being checking back with you live in paris. Sure.

Well continue to bring you more updates on this story as details become available. Maria. Maria gerri, thank you very much. Dagen, keith, want your take on what is happening in mali here. Keith, youre on hot twitter feed. Is this overriding conversation this morning . It flipped pretty quickly. Were the creepy crawlers that get up this hour. Went from mario draghi to really being dovish to this happening. You wake up in new york city, what do you do . Quite surprising to me u. S. Equity futures are up. That suggests there is significant amount of complacency at bare minimum. Im confused by the reaction. Markets have been up since the terror attacks in paris. That terror event and more revelations we get about the planning behind it, mastermind abaaoud, the fact he was in paris. If you put the whole picture together, it is inexplicable whether risk on environment. I cant get my head around the fact that people arent addressing this as economic issue. We went through that. People are getting scanned just to go in to look at something in a store. I mean i cant imagine that the Hotel Business is going to have a solid booking weekend. This is not a good thing. But on other side, people might say hey look, we finally rattled these guys out of their holes. This gives us opportunity to take these people out which obviously the u. S. Has been on the sidelines on that. These french guys are hardcore. They get in there and take these guys out. It is hard to say why markets are so complacent. To that point ill add according to the Associated Press, french Army Recruitment inquiries have tripled since the attacks. Really . Reaction by france, french government, by security authorities there, by even french people is certainly reminiscent of the u. S. Reaction after 9 11. Unfortunately our reaction as nation in terms of supporting france, rhetoric our leaders are using here isnt the same. That is what i think that americans find troubling. Were not speaking with more unity, with more force and more support. There is a lot of demographics where we euro skeptic zone ever young people are really want to are conservative to want to take care of this. This doesnt surprise me. That this would create positive level of momentum. People in the south of europe have unemployment, the economy sucks. There is inspiration here how the french reacted what i think a lot of people in america are quite concerned were not reacting to as aggressively. Maria the other security thing is you dont know where it might happen yet. Now we wake up the hostage situation happening live in mali. But you know, you just dont know whats next because theyre trying to terrorize the world with videos. The app is reporting that 20 hostages are freed. This is from a army commander. Apparently the way theyre being freed if they can recite verses from the koran theyre allowing certain hostages to be free. Were taking a short break. Were covering this live.

Phil flynn at cme group. Oil prices are sinking. Could these terrorist attacks around the world hurt demand for crude oil . What do you make of this reaction in the oil markets . That is exactly what youre seeing. That is one market reacted to terror attacks, concerns about the demand equation which is really disappointing f you look at Global Demand numbers were getting up until now, weve seen some of the strongest global deman growth in last 20 years. Gasoline demap in the u. S. In month of october was highest since financial crisis. Obviously concern of terror attacks could erode confidence. People may not want to travel. That will show up in Energy Demand that comes at a time when the market is fighting off global gut. Really negative for Energy Prices especially if this continues. Maria phil, thank you very much. Energy at this point you look at range. Buy it at 40, sell it at 6
