happening now in the "newsroom" breaking right now a new look at america's economy. who is hiring and where? also security in sochi. threats of violence as the opening ceremonies just two hours away. anxiety running high as the world's eye turns to russia. straight ahead, how safe is the american team? >> our job here is to just focus on what we can control. plus leno's last night. >> this has been the greatest 22 years of my life. >> choking back tears as he took the stage. >> i don't like good-byes. >> inviting his very first guest billy crystal back for one more time. you're live in the cnn "newsroom". good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me.

paychecks and politics, we begin this hour with breaking news about the economy and the nation's struggling skbloorkts. minutes ago we learned 113 show you jobs were created in january. the nation's jobless rate slides a bit to 6.6% but that too is cause for concern. we'll break this down for you this morning. our chief business correspondent christine romans is in new york along with financial expert monica, david wessell and jim acosta. christina, i want to start with you. these were disappointing numbers. >> reporter: they are. perspective servicing. 6.6% on the jobless rate. better than 10% at the peak of the crisis but not good enough for where we are right now. i want to show you these important numbers. still have 10.2 million people unemployed. 3.6 million people out of work for six months or longer. i'm very concerned about that part of the labor market. things are not getting better for the long term unemployed and

we're hearing and seeing a bias against those people who have been out of work for a long time. people who are hiring those who are newly unemployed. you have a labor force participation rate of 63%. it means too many working age americans are not working. that number way too low, still shows you and economy that's leaving a huge, huge swath of americans behind. >> let's parse this out further. david, is there any silver lining to this? >> it is. i agree it's a disappointing number. the labor department does two surveys every month. one of them of employers ander to of households. the household survey is the one that brings us the unemployment rate and the numbers there are actually encouraging. more people working. a higher fraction of people working that labor force participation rate super. that is the silver lining. it's very confusing, but when

you go to households, more people seem to be working and it's not because people are dropping out of the labor market but the unemployment rate came down. >> at least there's something to feel positive about. monica i want to talk to you about the long term unemployed and what the answer is. we know the senate failed to move forward a bill that would have extended long term unemployment for three months. what's the answer? >> well, i think if the question is how do we create jobs you have to look at where are the jobs coming from? in the last two years the bulk of the new job development has been coming from private employers and if you look at private payroll data it shows you that the bulk of the jobs are being created by companies with less than 500 employees. so if the answer is small business, then we really need to start asking questions of small business owners, what can we do to make their lives better, what can we do to help them hire more people and i think that's hats going to help us create more jobs and start lifting up economic mobility in this country again. >> let's head out to jim acosta.

he's at the white house this morning. too soon for any sort of response. what do you suppose the president's people will say? >> that's right. no official response from the white house yet but consider what they said last month. this is the second disappointing jobs report in a row after last month's disappointing jobs report. the white house said that it was focused on the future. it acknowledged last month was less than expected. i imagine the white house will say much of the same today although the president or the white house will also say look 8 million, roughly 8 million jobs have been created since 2009, 2010, and that they are dpousd on these executive actions that the president has been working on these last couple of weeks. you heard christine romans talk about the long term unemployed. the president had a meeting over here at the white house getting big companies to basically say listen we're not going to discriminate against long term unemployed again. his legislative agenda when it comes to the economy has been

stymied up on capitol hill. last few days, immigration reform, long term one employment benefits, that's not go anywhere on capitol hill. so time after time after time the president is seeing his legislative agenda stalled and so this morning house speaker john boehner is out with another press release saying where are the jobs mr. president and you'll hear republicans throughout the day today say well go ahead and sign the keystone pipeline if you want to use your pen mr. president sign that into law let's get that one going. so at this point, carol, the big question here in washington is can this president cut a deal up on capitol hill? i think that's the big question. can he start to perhaps make some compromises here, maybe give the republicans keystone in exchange for some of these other items. >> thanks. how will the markets react to today's jobs numbers? we'll have a live report four when the opening people rings at 9:30 eastern.

all eyes on sochi today with the olympics opening ceremony beginning in just about two hours. but apparently some russian eyes are to discussion on visitors in their hotel rooms. the "wall street journal" is reporting the russians are spying on olympic visitors. in response to a question about the condition of hotel rooms, the russian deputy prime minister told the "wall street journal," quote, we have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall, and then leave the room for the whole day. end quote. makes you wonder, doesn't it. we'll have much more on that angle later this hour. there are new terror concerns the report this morning. here's jim sciutto. >> reporter: cnn has learned u.s. authorities is working with russia and other countries to disrupt several plots related to the olympics. beyond the toothpaste tube terror threat it sparked a warning to airlines flying to the games.

>> there are some very specific threat leads that we have, but at the same time it's difficult to ascertain whether this is aspirational or operational. >> reporter: u.s. officials are concerned the intelligence regarding the threat of attackers using toothpaste or cosmetic tubes to hide explosives originated from the group led by this man. he leads chechen terrorists. >> the leader of the chechen rebel extremist, that's where this plot hatched out of. >> reporter: while u.s. officials have increased confidence about security inside the olympic venue, transportation hubs leading to the games including planes, trains and automobiles are still seen as softer targets and more vulnerable. russia's deputy prime minister insisted sochi is safe.

>> translator: i would like to repeat once again that the level of security in the city of sochi is not worse than new york, london, washington or boston. >> reporter: that is little reassurance to some. chechen terrorists have struck in the air before. black widow bombers are believed to have brought down two jets in rue shane 2004. the security focus may make it more difficult for a similar plot to succeed again. >> i can't think of a case where there's been a series warning publicly and then something actually happened. >> reporter: concern about the toothpaste threat led french officials to arrest two chechen women in france. there are continuing concerns about intelligence cooperation with the russians particularly pertaining to domestic threats inside russia. jim sciutto, cnn, washington.

the actual games began even before the opening ceremony qualifying rounds took place thursday in team figure skating, slopestyle and women's freestyle skiing. athletes say they are focusing on the games not terror threats. >> i don't think anybody up here has felt any danger since we've been here, so we're pretty confident that we'll be able to focus on our skiing and competing, and not let those outside influences really bother or worry us. it's not something that i'm really focused own and i think i can say the same for the rest of my teammates up here. >> one more thing about the olympic games. this may surprise you since president putin banned any promotion of gay activity. here's the surprise. russians have added to the opening ceremonies pre-show. ♪ this is the russian female pop duo tattoo. they are known for their lesbian

kisses in public. you say what? peyton walsh is in sochi. this is a surprise. >> reporter: i think it certainly meant to be. you point out tattoo nearly a decade ago managed to get global fame from really the lesbian kiss you saw in the video. neither is lesbian and in their career they have not been promoting gay rights. not clear how prominent they will be. there's a suggestion they will perform. their song "they won't get us" will not enter the arena. this is some bid to soften the criticism of the kremlin's pretty anti-gay stance in this recent legislation which has caused outcry from many of the attendees and many human rights groups on the outside of the games too. probably as much to change the

tone of moscow's message towards the world's population but at the end of the day it may be a symbol to seem they are sympathetic. >> if you logged on to google this morning, you saw this. google doodle is celebrating the olympics by taking a stance against russia's anti-gay laws. google cites the olympic charter that stands up for all athletes regardless of sexual orientation by saying quote sport is a human right. still to come in the "newsroom" aol employees get their retirement benefits slashed. the ceo is blaming two sick babies and obamacare. we'll explain.

controversial comments coming from aol ceo tim armstrong surrounding the reasons why the company decided to cutback on retirement benefits for its employees. on cnbc armstrong placed the blame squarely on obamacare. >> obamacare is an additional $7.1 million competenexpense foa company. we have to decide whether to pass it on to employees or cut other benefits. >> later that same day in a company wide conference call armstrong appeared to shift the blame a bit citing two distressed babies born to aol employees. armstrong said we had two aolers that had distressed babies that we paid a million dollars each

to make sure those babies were okay in general and those are things that add up into our benefits cost. aol employee listening to that call took some notes and sent them to a tech blogger who published them online, igniting a firestorm. joining me now to discuss this, the co-founder of moms rising, a group that supports women's issues. good morning and thank you for being here. >> good morning. >> first of all, i can't believe armstrong would say that on a conference call that included employees. >> i can't believe it either, particularly since 50% of the workforce for the first time in history are women and three quarters of moms are in the labor force. it was flat out ridiculous. aol as a company is worth $3.7 billion. that's billion with a b and has 5,000 employees. so two sick babies are certainly not going to break their bank. what we have is a red herring. a scapegoating situation where

they blame moms and babies for a decision he made which is to cut all his employees 401(k) plans and highly paid ceos need to step up and take responsibility for the decisions they make. >> it was surprising he didn't mention any of the other expensive medical treatments. why single out families? >> you know, that is an excellent question and it's one that i immediately went to myself last night. sadly right now in the united states of america, discrimination against moms is widespread. while this is a ridiculous example and it's really outrageous, this is not the only time that moms have been discriminated against. right now, hold on to your hats, maternal status is a greater predictor of wage discrimination than gender and so we see across the country over and over again moms with equal resumes and job experiences getting hired less, being paid less and being blamed for things like this. it's not okay because 81% of women in america do have

children by the time they are 44 years old so this means that while not all moms are called out by the ceo of aol, most women do experience some type of discrimination due to their maternal status in their lifetime. >> in fairness to mr. armstrong he did cite obamacare as a another reason he had to like cut benefits, cut the 401(k) benefits to employees. it was both things combined. a lot of companies are citing obamacare as a reason why they are cutting benefits. >> now that also is a red herring and a scapegoating. let's face it. health care costs have been rising for decades, skyrocketing, even. from what mr. armstrong has said it appears that aol has an employer sponsored health care plan which means that the employer is negotiating directly with the health care plan for the coverage of their employees and that means that obamacare has nothing to do with it. in fact the cost can't be directly related to obamacare in this instance.

again we see a highly paid ceo who i may add made $12 million last year scapegoating moms, squap goating obamacare, not taking responsibility for stepping up for the decision he made to cut the retirement beaches of all of his employees. if it was the $2 million that he says that the babies cost then maybe he could have not taken a raise last year which was more than $2 million. it's ridiculous when companies put their profits and own salaries over real people. >> in fairness to our viewers you're a big obamacare supporter. i should mention that. we reached out to mr. armstrong. we wanted to get him on the air and he's not returned our calls. thank you for joining us this morning. i appreciate it. >> thank you. still to come in the "newsroom," a cnn exclusive interview. we talked to vice president joe biden and he's giving new clues about a potential run for president.

vice president joe biden finally giving insight to a potential run for president in 2016 and in cnn exclusive interview with kate bolduan. it has to do something with fast cars and corvettes. >> joe biden, the man does love cars. and he admits that. it was something caught my attention earlier in the week when he was speaking in front of a crowd of the uaw and talking about corvettes and the new corvette that was out. he said it was one overwhelming reason not to run for president to get behind the wheel and go from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds. >> can i ask you one fun question about corvettes?

>> sure you can. now you hit my sweet spot. >> i know your sweet spot. you had a lot of fun earlier this week speaking to turn aw, talking about corvettes, talking about going from other to 60 in 3.4 seconds and you said that was one reason not run for president. other than corvettes give me another reason why you shouldn't run? >> i can't. >> yeah? >> there may be reasons i don't run but there's no obvious reason for me why i think i should not run. >> do you have a timetable? >> probably realistically a year this summer. when i ran the first time jill didn't want to run again. second time she came to me and said you got to run. the reason she wanted me to run she was convinced if i ran we would end the war in iran and have a firmer stand on foreign policy. for me the decision to run or

not run will be determined by me as to whether i am the best qualified person to focus on the two things i've spent my whole life on, giving ordinary people a fighting chance to make it and a sound foreign policy that's based on ration enamel interests in the united states where we not only are known for the power of our military, but the power of our example. i think the future for this country, i know, people think i'm too optimistic but it is incredible. there's so much just within our grasp. doesn't mean i'm the only guy that can do it. but if no one else i think can and i think i can then i would run. if i don't i won't. >> sounds like a man seriously considering it. thank you very much, mr. vice president. >> thank you. appreciate it. i think you can see this does not look like a man in the sunset of his career. this is a man who is ready to fight for it. you can see him talking about it right there. >> has he seen the polls? hillary clinton has like 70%

support among democrats. >> agreed. the latest poll has her at 73% and him 11% or 12%. the poll is not in his favor. there's a lot of time that can turn around. joe biden is just looking for leverage and to be out there. john king made a good point. he said for some vice presidents in his second term as you're heading out of a second term they tend to lose relevancy and this is, if nothing else, joe biden is fighting to stay relevant and he's doing a pretty good job at it. vintage joe biden. >> cnn's kate bolduan. coming up, opening bell on wall street and investors react to this morning's disappointing jobs report. >> reporter: 113,000 jobs created in the month. that's better than the end of last year but just not enough. what are we going to do about it? what are stocks going to do about it? i'll have that right after the break. welcome back. how is everything?

[ male announcer ] introducing fedex one rate. simple, flat rate shipping with the reliability of fedex.

. all right. welcome back i'm carol costello. the opening bell just ringing on wall street just an hour ago we learned 113,000 jobs were created in january, far fewer than expected. the nation's jobless rate slides just a bit to 6.6% but that too is cause for concern. let's head back to new york and check in with christine romans as we look at the numbers this morning. >> reporter: i think they will brush it off. investors will brush this number off. you know why? because it doesn't tell dramatically different picture than they already knew at the end of last year. last year on average we created 193,000 jobs every month. you had a return, a resumption of hiring last year. then something happened in december. something happened in january where it doesn't look like it was as robust as last year.

wall street at least brushing that off for a couple of reasons. you're seeing a jobless rate much lower than the 10% at the worst of the financial crisis. you're seeing better rates of long term unemployment rates. people out of work, people working part time, people left behind. that number has improved just a little bit. i did see some hiring in manufacturing. we did see some hiring in leisure and hospitality. we saw some hiring in business, professional services. so there are these little bright spots within the numbers that want i think people are focusing on. again, the story is the same. in the near term the job market slowly healing. you want to be doing better than this. it is slowly healing. for the long term unemployed still a big slog but that's not a new situation. i think investors shrugging off the numbers for this month. >> when you think about big companies, large companies, they are not losing money, right? >> no. oh, no. they are concerned about a lot

of different head winds. they are concerned about exposure to the american consumer who has been smart and frugal more recently. you can see where companies are seeing growth it happens to be in higher end products, luxury cars, high end appliances not necessarily on things that the middle class are buying. that's something you can see that in the numbers, you can see that in sales numbers. when the middle class strapped that's not good for corporate america which means they hire less the middle class is strapped because they are hiring less. when you look at some of these numbers. companies with fewer than 500 workers are hiring. they are seeing demand in whatever their market is, getting a little bit better and they have been holding the hiring so, you know, just cut to the bone that when things get better they have to hire immediately. one other thing in this report, small business yes we've seen that. you can see that temporary work and hourly earnings have ticked up.

those are leading indicators. so companies may pay a little more before they hire more people or start temporary workers before they hire some people. that's a glimmer that there could be better hiring in the spring. >> i hope you're right. christine romans, many thanks. starting next year using your credit card is about to get a little bit safer. instead of swiping your car and giving the retailer your john hancock you'll soon check out using a pin number like you do with your debit card. not only that, alison kosik that's that part now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. kind of the end of an era. beginning late next year you won't need to grab a pen and sign those credit card receipt when is you purchase something. instead what you'll have is you put your card into a slot and enter a pin number. the card is also going to be embedded with a special microchip that has security data so the thinking is hacking will be much tougher to do.

funny, the uss late in the game on this. the system is in place in most of the rest of the world. why has it taken us so long? fraud rates were previously higher in other markets but then they got their act together. they got the microchips and their cards and the hackers focused more on us. we're finally catching up. with the recent hacks at target and neiman marcus it seems more urgent to get this in place. mastercard and visa put a deadline on this of october 2015 to have this implemented. >> thank you. still to come in the "newsroom" an emotional good-bye from jay leno as the late night host signs off for the last time. nischelle turner has the details. >> reporter: it was definitely a jay leno we've never seen before. we'll give the breakdown of his good-byes and see what he'll do next when we come back.

the u.s. authorities are working with the russians to disrupt several plots related to the sochi games. the plots are not connected to the toothpaste tube terror threat which prompted a ban on liquids and gels in carry-ons between the united states and russia. we have been talking a lot about the security but very little about the games. cnn's rachel nickels is in sochi. opening ceremony is about to get underway. are you excited? >> reporter: absolutely. we are already in the middle of competition here in sochi. the team figure skating event is garnering the most attention. this is a new event this year. the men, the women, the pairs, the dancers, all thrown in there skating for their country. the intrigue is really going to thicken with the american women. you may remember ashley wagner

was the high hope coming into these games. she had a disastrous performance at the u.s. nationals, fell twice and only squeaked on to the team because of their selection. she is going to get to skate the short program this weekend. that's tomorrow. she will get to try to redeem herself after that. then, gracie gold comes in. she is the one that won the u.s. nationals. she will come in and skate the long programs. we also have mep's ski jumping coming up. if you like seeing someone hurdle themselves off a 400-foot high ramp, that's the event for you. open ceremony tonight. a lot of pagentry. a lot of money spent by the russians trying to prove themselves. don't forget to look for the small emotional moments. this is so special for so many athletes. the hand shakes of people between countries you might not expect. take a look out for american

skier heidi closer. she is not going to be able to ski today. it was devastating with her. she was in the ambulance with her father. on the way to the hospital, she said, daddy, does this mean i'm still an olympian or not. it is wa heartbreaking for him and her. she is planning to try to crush her way in with the american team tonight into the opening ceremonies. >> are any of the athletes thinking about security. for them, it is all about competition, right? >> reporter: there are 230 different athletes. some of these folks risk life and limb in a way we never would.

their focus is different than ours. they are trying to focus on the moments they have worked decades to get to. the only place i have seen people make adjustments is with their family members. they are pretty protected by russian security, u.s. diplomatic security. their families are in more of those areas. we have seen some athletes tell their families to stay home. one of the male bobsledders wanted him mom to get here and held a fund-raiser for her and decided, you know what, it is not worth it. he didn't want to worry about her. she is at home watching him instead. >> i don't know how far you are from the olympic village. i can see it in the background. what kind of security did you have to go through to get to where you are? >> to get here, we didn't have to go through any security beyond the general security you

have there. there are 40,000 members combined here to give you a picture of what that means. we held the salt lake city in the u.s. after the september 11th attacks. they had, according to homeland security, 13,000 military. that being said, not everything the official government statements tell you here have turned out to be true i can tell you that they have said at the sochi airport, there is that ban on liquids, creams, gels coming in on your carry-on bags. like any trip i take, i took a bunch of that stuff in my carry-on, not knowing it was going to be the regulation here. not myself or any of my fellow passengers were searched for those items. we all walked in with them. the official narrative. you have the practical narrative and we will see which one wins out. an emphasis on security at these games. it is 46 degrees with a high of

security. kind of warm for a winter olympics, don't you think? >> this is the only subtropical climate in russia. it is certainly the warmest place they have had a winter olympics. it will be very interesting to see how it holds up. they worried about the snowy vents at the end of next week when it is going to be in the high 50s at times. >> rachel nichols reporting live from sochi, thanks so much. the next hour of "cnn newsroom" starts now. happening now in the "newsroom," the shooting that shocked a florida movie theater. a man killed as the movie was starting. now, a florida courtroom is about to see what happened when the lights wept down. a struggling economy and unemployment out of control. there doesn't seem to be any help in sight. how will washington get 34more americans back to work?

>> stolen credit. your good name out there for anyone to profit from. >> if the person had good credit, you could potentially take $25,000 from a credit card. >> we learn how these are finally being brought down. >> did you ever do something crazy because you don't know what to do anymore? that's what i am doing right now. i am calling out to mark zuckerberg in facebook. >> a father turns to the head of facebook for one final memory from his son. this time, facebook does not disappoint. "newsroom" starts now. good morning. i'm carol costello, thanks so much for joining me. right now, court is getting underway in the case of a florida man accused of shooting and killing a young father who was texting in a movie theater. 71-year-old curtis reeves is

seeking release on bond. the former police officer is charged with the murder of chat olson. he has pleaded not guilty. we could see some of the strongest evidence against him. infrared surveillance video of the theater that shows part of that altercation. martin savidge joins me. >> this is going to be an interesting hearing. it is a continuation of the hearing that began on wednesday. the hearing turned out to be extremely dramatic. a lot of testimony from witnesses and family members for curtis reeves. they are pleading for the 71-year-old father. it was the daughter that moved into tears that asked that he be given bond. the prosecution is saying, there is no way this man should be allowed out on bond. should there be bond? if bond is granted by the judge, how much of that bond will the family be able to provide that bond? the key here, as you point out, is going to be this video. a lot has been made about this. of course, the reason it is so important is that it captures the moment of the shooting.

how clearly we see it is debatable depending on who you talk to but it is tap yured on video. they are going to show it in open court? >> yes. videos like this are not supposed to be released to the public or shown to the public but florida has very open laws when it comes to revealing the evidence in any particular case to the public. what to do with this video? they have decided they will not release it for 30 days but show it in the courtroom on a screen and the cameras in the courtroom can focus on that screen to see it. as we say, it is about three minutes we've been told. the key section, maybe 15, 20 seconds and this is, of course, the altercation. it is a darkened theater. so it is going to be hard to say but it is infrared. it is also the entire theater. you are seeing many rows and viewing it from the side looking down the rows. i'm told that what takes place

is off on the extreme right side. >> when that video is released in court, you will be back with us. >> absolutely. >> to show it to us in the best possible way. martin savidge, many thanks now, let's turn to the economy and a new pressure of the nation's struggling job market. we learned that 113,000 jobs were created in january. that's far fewer jobs than expected. the nation's jobless rate slides to 6.6%. of course, that conceals that problem. many americans are simply dropping out of the labor force. a third of working age americans are unemployed. with me now, thomas perez, u.s. labor secretary. welcome, mr. secretary. >> always a pleasure to be with you. >> 113,000 jobs. that must be disappointing for you? >> i think there are a number of bright spots in this report. there is also an obvious need to pick up the pace. in terms of the bright spots, we see 142000 private sector jobs created.

that's 47 consecutive months to the tune of 8.5 million jobs. very strong growth in manufacturing and construction, which are key industries. the average manufacturing worker continues to work over 40 hours a week. i think that's really good. during this same 47-month period where we have seen 8.5 million private sector jobs created, we have contracted 650,000 or so government jobs. that's unprecedented in a recovery. if it had simply stayed flat, our employment rate would be 6.2%. labor force participation was up last month. the unemployment rate went down for the right reason. that's an important point. >> still, too many people remain out of work and too many people have given up looking for a job. i'm going to bring up the keystone pipeline. the state department came out and said that if the keystone pipeline was continued, that would create almost 2000 jobs and support tens of thousands of other jobs. is it time for the president to give the okay to keystone?

>> reporter: the president has outlined a very thoughtful and deliberate process. the state department report is one part of that process. i am confident that they are going to continue. >> in your estimation, does that need to happen. >> the process that's undergoing is very thoughtful and deliberate. there are many very, very smart people involved in that decision-making process. i am confident it will be very, very thorough. >> he keep pressing you. this report also found that keystone wouldn't have a big impact on climate ching. why not give the go-ahead and create these much-needed jobs? >> again, i think there has been a very well thought-out process that has been outlined in this report that you mentioned is one part of that process. they are going to continue in a very thorough and deliberate manner, which is what's called for under the applicable provisions of law. >> one of the reasons the senate

didn't move forward on long-term unemployment benefits is because of this keystone pipeline. is it now time to compromise? >> i'm not hearing that they didn't move forward on long-term unemployment benefits because of the keystone pipeline. i hope they move forward on that because it is the right and smart thing to do. 1.7 million people have lost this critical life line. they have gone from a challenging situation to a crisis. they are sitting in their homes as katherine in connecticut tells me with her hat and gloves on, because she has to keep the heat at 54 degrees. that's not right. congress has a long and proud bipartisan tradition of extending these benefits. we are making progress. we are not moving fast enough. we need to pick up the pace and the president has put forth many proposals. until we are at the level where long-term unemployment is reduced, we need to continue

that life line. >> i want to talk more about that life line and why the senate didn't move forward on that bill. this is from republican congressman james lang ford. he said in the "new york times," the perception i get from the senate is that times are tough. we should make times tougher on our kids to make it easier on us and then feel better. i think that's just not a philosophy i'm willing to report. it doesn't sound like republicans are going to change their minds. they have a different philosophy. should the press drop tpresiden the issue? >> i disagree. change is about persistence. the last five times that the unemployment benefits have been passed, there have been no strings attached. this president is persistent. he is not going to wait for congress. that's why he convened a meeting

last week of ceos to talk about steps we can take without congress to help the long-term unemployed. we have put a $150 million grant program out in the streets so that we can categorize innovation and bring together key stakeholders to help the long-term unemployment with programs such as wage subcidy zation. where as if an employer hires a long-term unemployed, the wage will be subsidized for 50%. i have spoken to so many long-term unemployment. they are looking, looking, and looking and they are doing their best and they have a lot to offer. we need to stand by them. this isn't a country where we kick people to the side of the road who have fallen on hard times through no times of their own. we can do better than that. it is the right thing to do an the smart thing to do. we are not going to wait for congress. the president will continue to

use that pen and that phone to help people in need. >> labor secretary, thomas perez, thank you so much for joining me this morning. i appreciate it. >> always a pleasure. oh, joe, as in oh, joe biden. whatever you think of the vice president, he certainly speaks his mind. mr. biden slammed new york's laguardia airport saying it is like an airport in some third world country. >> if i blindfolded someone and took them at 2:00 in the morning into the airport in hong kong, and said, where do you think you are? they would say, this must be america. it is a modern airport. if i took you and blindfolded you and took you to laguardia airport in new york, you must think, i must be in some third world country. i'm not joking. >> not many have had the pleasure of flying through laguardia would disagree. chris cuomo and john verman are here to talk about this. the donald said the very same thing in 2011.

>> when was the last time you saw a great airport being built? we used to build them in the 40s and 50s. >> we are becoming absolutely a third world nation. you land your plane at laguardia airport. you go to laguardia airport, it is like a third world airport. >> so, chris, it is a beautiful example of bipartisanship, right? >> obviously, joe biden has been paying a lot of attention to what donald trump says. they are both mimicking the same third world couldn't tri. if joe biden were to walk you into any place at 2:00 in the morning blindfolded, where could you think you were? >> the only thing controversial that was said by joe biden was the blindfold. that is the only thing deeply troubling. you know who disagrees with him on the quality of the airport here? nobody. if you fly through it, it needs a lot of work. you look at the infrastructure in the united states, the world economic form ranks the united

states 24th on the list behind ohman and barbados. >> luxembourg is beating you. they only have one. you are dealing with the crisis in the u.s. infrastructure gets neglected, because you can't get elected on it. we don't care about repairing until you have a tragedy. laguardia checks every box. it's hard to get there. we don't have a direct route. >> there is no subway, no train. people usually choose it because of proximity. once you get there, not set up that well. then, you have an ingress, egress issue in and out. only one way. it checks all the box. . >> it is not just laguardia. have been to detroit's airport or cleveland's airport? >> i have. i have. i will put laguardia up against

all of them with all due respect to the mayor that it was named after. however, the airport is lacking. >> in third world countries, we have been to a few, in laguardia, you don't have to bribe people to get through security. >> i have never been sequestered there for hours on end without explanation, which is also a nice benefit. >> new york city does have a lot of different ethnicities represented but i would not think it qualifies as a third world country. >> i don't think so either. we'll leave it on an up note. thanks for discussing. st still to come. the opening ceremony of the olympic games is just an hour away. security is a big buzz in sochi. nick payton walsh is there. mine was earned in korea in 1953. afghanistan, in 2009. orbiting the moon in 1971.

the olympic's opening ceremony begins pretty soon. there is still concern for the terror strikes. the toothpaste tube threat has prompted a ban on liquids and gels in carry-on bags between the united states and russia. let's check in with cnn's nick hi, nick. >> reporter: carol, hi. even actually liquids seemingly banned inside some of the areas around the olympic venues according to what we saw around that area today. not that much bustle. we are going to have to hope

those numbers pick up. we are under an hour away from when the opening ceremony begins. in the background, hovers the potential for security problems. it's competition in sochi already on its way. while the eyes of the world will be on the games, terrorism fears have made many here on edge. on thursday, the transportation security administration announced it is banning all liquids, gels, aerosols and powders in carry-on luggage in flights between the united states and russia. these restrictions follow a warning from the department of homeland security earlier this week when terrorists could be targeting the olympic games with explosive components hidden in toothpaste tubes, small enough to conceal but powerful enough to blow a car door off like

this. >> it was a legitimate source that gave the information. that doesn't mean it is going to happen. it is something to be taken very seriously. >> reporter: president obama reiterating thursday night that the u.s. is in constant contact with russian security forces. >> i think the russians have an enormo enormous stake in preventing any kind of terrorist act or violence at these venues. they have put a lot of resources into it. >> reporter: russian officials say they have some 37,000 police and security officers on the streets in and around the sochi venues. >> i think people going to the olympics should be careful. i think they should watch their backs. i think they should stay out of crowds if they can. >> reporter: u.s. olympic athletes say they aren't letting the terror threats overshadow their dreams for a medal.

>> our job here is to focus on what we can control and what we can do. that's how we are going to perform at our first olympics. >> reporter: we're really at crunch time at the end of the day. in an hour, people here are going to be hoping that the opening ceremony is so spectacular and fantastic that it sweeps away all the concerns about security, that the festive atmosphere really begins, that there are proper crowds and the games can get underway, carol. >> is all of this concern over terror attacks having any effects on attendance? >> reporter: it seems to be. it is earliy yet. one american tour said they would expect to be bringing in more fans than families of athletes. right now, there are five times as many family of athletes as fans. that's a problem. they have 1,000 tickets they were allocated to sell to american tourists who simply

haven't shown up. they are trying to resell them as fast as they could. i spoke to another bunch of tourists and said they have seen a lot less of american faces here. they were almost able to buy a ticket to the opening ceremony for $600. a question of how many tickets are being sold to international venues. we are not seeing a huge amount of bustling. the u.s. embassy hopes for 10,000, 15,000 americans here at some point. we north seeing those big numbers@as yet, carol. >> nick paton walsh, reporting live from sochi. thank you. you probably saw this. google doodle is celebrating the winter olympics by taking a stand against russia's anti-gay logs. they are used in support of the lgbt community. they cite the olympic charter by

have you seen all those facebook look back videos on your timeline. a question of your popular moments set to music. one father pleaded with facebook asking for a chance to see his son's video after his son died at the age of 21. the response from facebook was inspiring. here is melanie moon of ktvi i'm calling out to mark zuckerberg in facebook. >> reporter: it all started with a very emotional plea on youtube. >> my son passed away january 28th, 2012. we can't access his facebook account. >> reporter: 21-year-old jesse berlin was an aspiring musician when he passed away in his sleep at 2167.

the cause of death ruled inconclusive. what his father wanted to see was the new look back video. a quick, music laden walk down facebook memory lane highlighting the user's biggest moments. >> i sent out a couple of e-mails. i didn't get a response. i thought, i'm just going to make a video. >> reporter: that youtube video went viral with over 1 million views. it also caught the attention of a new york tv station that contacted facebook. last night, a representative from facebook called berlin to tell him, he would be given access to jesse's account and a look back video would be ready in just a few days. >> he also said that they are going to look at possibly changing their policy a little bit for family members who have loved ones that have passed away so they can memorialize their page and make it an easier process. >> reporter: for the ber lins, the 62-second video will mean the world to them as they still try and cope with the unexpected loss of their son. >> it brings a little more

closure to us. we want a little piece of everything, when he accessed his account, the most popular post, just little things like that. it would just mean a lot to us. >> that was melanie moon of cnn affiliate, ktfi. kyle carl is participating in his very first olympic games. his mom joins us next before she heads to sochi.

good morning. i'm carol costello. thanks for joining me.

we are less than an hour away. the games have already gun. qualifying rounds took place in teen figure skating, women's freestyle skiing moguls. all went off without a hitch. the athletes say they are focusing on the games and not the terror threats. >> i don't think anybody up here has felt any danger since we have been here. we are pretty confident we are going to focus on our skiing and competing and not let those outside influences bother or worry us. it is not something that i am really focused on and i think i could say the same for the rest of my teammates up here. >> he looks so excited, doesn't he? kyle carr is one of those american athletes in sochi. he is a speed skater. he is competing in his first olympics. we had his mom on with us a couple of weeks ago. i told you he was not going to steal our joy. welcome! >> when do you leave?

>> monday, monday at 1:00 in the afternoon. we fly up to chicago. then, catch our flight to london. then from london to moscow and moscow into sochi. >> you are bringing your daughter, still? >> still bringing my daughter. >> not your toothpaste. that's breath mints will get us through this trip. >> there will be no brushing your teeth in between flights. so when that terror theft came out and you heard that toothpaste might pose a danger, what went through your mind? really, we are doing this. i called a pilot friend of mine and said, so, how concerned am i? >> you are going to sochi and you are going to have a good time and don't even think about it. >> so how is your son doing? >> he is doing great. excited, press releases, interviews, training. you have to fit the training in. he is doing great. he is embracing it and enjoying every moment. >> so what are his accommodations. we hear so many bad things about

what's going down in russia. >> i texted him about that. i was like, so this is what i'm hearing. he was like, you know what, mom, ignore it. he said his door is fine. it has a lock on it. there is paint on the walls. even what was it, the big hacking thing. he said he has had no problems. i have been in communication with him a lot. he has had no problems. with that, i think you have to be smart. you don't want to go over there and start accessing all your bank information on your laptop and that kind of thing but other than that, it is fine. >> it is sounding like you are not concerned at all? >> no. i am really not. i am truly completely at peace about the whole trip. >> why? how did you arrive at this? >> honestly, it is a god thing. it really is. i have such a prayer team that has surrounded me.

i have really just -- that's what it is. i am tote little at peace. >> i think that's important for your son. right? he has to focus all of his attention on performing in his sport or he is going to fail. >> you are absolutely right. to see how relaxed he is too. he would be the first one to tell us. his little sister is going with me. he would be the first one to say i don't think this is a good idea. he also, his fiancee is flying out today. he would be voicing some kind of concern. it is just not. >> lisa, i want you to stay in touch with us. we'll be watching kyle. i'm very excited. thanks for stopping in again. good luck on that flight. >> thank you so much. still to come in the "newsroom." cnn goes inside the hack. an exclusive investigation into the world of cybercrime. drew griffin has that story. >> good morning, carol. >> this is the story of one tech

starting next year, credit cards are ditching signatures and asking customers to use pin numbers. they hope that added security of a pin number will help cut down the credit card fraud. for many consumers, added security on credit cards cannot come soon enough from cyberhack attacks at target, neiman marcus and michaels, millions of shoppers have had their privacy and their financial information compromised. who is taking that information and what are they doing with it? >> reporter: drew griffin joins us with an exclusive cnn

investigation. good morning. >> good morning. from the time your credit number is swiped until it goes all the way across the world and back again, it has been bought an sold in a criminal network most people don't realize until after the fact, before the banks even know it, your credit is being used somewhere else. >> reporter: don't let this baby face fool you if you want to know who is behind the hacking, stealing and selling of your credit cards. maxu ustremski of the ukraine is about as good an example as you can find. up until the recent target store brea breach, he was the king of the hill, the most prolific credit card trafficker, operating a worldwide credit theft ring that hacked into nine major retailers, stealing and selling the data for more than 40 million credit cards. data sold to other criminals

that would go on buying sprees, sell what they bought with your stolen credit an turn it into crash. this criminal was one of them. he knew the ins and outs. >> if the person had good credit, you could potentially take $25,000 from a potential credit card. it was rel easy. perfect-looking fake credit cards bought on line. also available online, freshly stolen credit card information. this cybercriminal was buying straight from a baby faced ukrainian tech geek. >> you have the material to make the cards. you have the plastic to make the cards and you got the data to actually make the physical cards real and active just to be clear. you didn't do that. >> no. >> reporter: that's because this guy isn't a real cybercriminal at all. he is an undercover secret service agent who for three years became part of this

massive cybercriminal network we friending maxik and traveling to ukraine, turkey, southeast asia, to immerse himself in one of the fastest growing criminal schemes in the world. maxik and the ukraine would hire hacking teams across the united states. these are the cyber criminals who electronically break in to stores, retailers, any company with large amounts of credit card information. the undercover agent would pretend to be a buyer who could use the stolen numbers and create credit cards that look and act exactly like the card in your pocket. >> before you would even realize your credit card numbers had been stolen, crews were out buying up merchandise and sell teeing on the black market. >> how many cards were available? how many credit lines were available? >> millions of credit cards. >> the secret service was buying up stolen credit cards in bulk on a weekly basis all in a

well-planned ruse to real in maxik trust and eventually maxik himself. >> did he seem like a criminal? >> none of them came off as looks as a mafia figure or the next big criminal. they were ordinary individuals. >> reporter: after a night out in turkey, he brought maxik back to a hotel, where, as planned, they were both arrested. for more than a year, the agent continued the charade, even as maxik was sentenced to 30 years in turkish prison. >> the secret service would be buying up as many credit card numbers as they could, because what they were doing is calling the banks and saying, we have stolen credit cards here. you would be lucky if the secret service was buying your card. it was an incredible tale of how this stuff is bundled, shipped to europe and back to the united states and used before anybody knows. >> the changes the credit card company says they are going to make by 2013, they are going to put chips inside the car and

make you use your pin number. will that spoil guys like that? >> it could help. these criminals are really smart. why ukraine? why these places like this? >> very smart, intelligent people with no jobs. they come up with plans, schemes to make money and although they believe that the chips will slow it down, there is going to be a way around it. although, it may take a little work. >> drew griffin, thanks so much. >> still to come in the "newsroom," immigration reform shaping up to be the latest point of gridlock in washington. john boehner says it is all because of distrust from the white house. i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends. i have a great fit with my dentures. i love kiwis. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free -- it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free. with just a few dabs, it's clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat.
