nearing this deal with qatar. what's your sense of these five former prisoners now still in qatar and whether or not they will leave and go rejoin the fight? >> well first of all, i'm talking on my behalf not on my government. as you know i'm not in the government. i think this deal it's being reached in a mutual agreement between kaqatar and the united states and the taliban. it was at that time trying to help both parties reach an agreement. also as you know there are political talks in qatar between taliban and the government how they will find a way to sort the problem in afghanistan, especially as you know united states most of their troops are now outside afghanistan. what is a care to me, first of all, is the noise. this agreement being done with the united states as you know qatar respects the agreement. at that time everybody thought this is a good deal for everybody and it's a win-win situation. right now i hear a lot of criticism about this deal. criticism which we are surprised for in qatar, as a norma

qatar officials were supposed to monitor their activities but at least one of the detain knees reportedly met with or had communications with militants. the obama administration has said repeatedly and cystedinsisted that the threat of them returning is low. but others have expressed concern that they could return to the battle field. they are older, but the sight of them being returned would be a rallying cry for taliban fighters something that the administration and the u.s. military certainly don't want to see, but there's a really good chance that either tomorrow or in the coming months, they will be released from qatar own on their way back to afghanistan or pakistan. >> there's talk about maybe delaying that by six months but that hasn't happened yet. >> picking up where connor left off, these taliban five part of the agreement with the qatar government today the former prime minister of qatar spoke about the deal on sunday morning futures saying there are no guarantees they will not return to the fight. >> how they will behave after they leave, this is we don't know how they will b

you saw qatar, and i say qatar. t their production is around the same. your point is the rise of fall of these guys. joe: today the qatar had it's worst drop in over three months. then it recovered a bit. the word from fifa is nothing is going to change about where the games are going to be played. any problem with the games is a huge issue because they have sent an insane amount of money to build their facilities. so even the slightest hint that those games would be in peril is a huge problem. alix: $200 billion, and russia, $20 billion. we want to bring in elias of bloomberg news, and gina, a senior equities strategist at wells fargo securities. the thing that struck any eye was a bloomberg article about china. he says that china isn't showing the requisite tolerance for pain, and that recent steps are likely to ensure a belated financial reckoning in the years ahead with the potential to shake up the global economy. so the government isn't actually doing its job to weed out the bad guys. >> well, is the u.s. government doing the same thing? >> join th
