11:00 am
johnny carson did in his 30-year run as the king of late night. we wish jay leno only the best. thanks for all the excellent years. many more to come. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. see you at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room." newsroom continues with brooke baldwin. >> thanks, wolf. here we go. breaking news. we begin with a rapidly developing story about a possible terror plot for the sochi games involving this plan right here. a hijacker attempted to take over a commercial airliner which left ukraine. his goal reportedly was to take the plane with all 110 passengers on board to sochi. the plane was eventually able to land in turkey. all of this happening, think about the context here as this is going on. the opening ceremonies getting under way in sochi this afternoon.
11:01 am
joining me now on this attempted hijacking. our eastern international correspondent there in sochi. the chief national security correspondent and cnn law enforcement analyst. to you on the ground. in terms of what we know now, what are you learning about this man's plans on board the plane and what did he say to passengers? >> well, this is a ukrainian passport holder and the flight was going to ukraine to istanbul and at some point according to turkish officials, the man stood up and claimed he had some kind of explosive device in the cargo bay of the plane. this is a pegasus air turkish budget airlines flight. also demanded according to turkish officials that the plane be rerouted here to sochi where as you can see the fireworks
11:02 am
display is under way and the olympic name moments ago has been lit. we are hearing from turkey's semi official agency that the turkish pilots aboard the plane at 1820, 6:20 p.m. istanbul time, they put out a warping about the hijacking attempt and within 20 minutes, the agency is reporting the turkish airport scrambled f-16 war planes to the black sea to escort that plane to its original deft in addition in istanbul. that is where our sister agency has been there. they have taken the man into custody. they issued a statement saying ukraine yen diplomats are on the ground at the airport now, trying to determine the nationality of this suspected
11:03 am
hijacker. we got media reports out of ukraine. the man may have been drunk at the time. they haven't been able to confirm it yet. as turkish officials said, it was searched for the explosive device. no injuries and no casualties reported at this time. brooke? >> so jim, to you. we have been talking about fears surrounding the winter olympic games and fears of extremists. i understand you are making the point that this is very different from some sort of extremist group in the sense that this individual according to reporting announced he had a bomb where as a different group wouldn't have done any talking. they would have taken action. >> that's right. it's an important point. the mo is different here. the kinds of groups that have been threatening to target the
11:04 am
games, islamist extremist groups detonate explosives and ask questions later for lack of a better phrase. in 2004, it is suspected the two of those black widow bombers brought down two planes in russia, lighting off explosives mid-flight. the idea of diverting and talking to the pilot and saying i have an explosive and take me somewhere else is not the mo of the kinds of attackers we have been familiar with and focused on in relation to the attacks. that said, a serious enough threat to scramble jets and remember, of the many threats that u.s. and international authorities and russian authorities are tracking here, one they are most concerned about is the threat to airliners. transportation in like this toothpaste bomb plot we were talking about. >> tom, i want you to react to what you are hearing from both of my colleagues and what is standard operating procedure in an event like this? >> i think i completely agree
11:05 am
with them from the beginning. it looked like an unusual situation. not your typical terrorist event. from the beginning i thought this soundings like a mentally disturbed person or possibly drug or alcohol induced hijacking. either you are going to blow up the plane or you are not. in this case the guy said take me to sochi. what does he expect? they will have a limo waiting if are him to take him to the opening ceremonies? it was crazy in the concept from the beginning. the procedures to deal with are what you are seeing. the plane lands and goes to the secure area away from the terminals and aircraft just in case something bad might happen and something explodes that doesn't do any other damage. they evacuate the passengers as quickly as they can. they see the video before the flight starts with how to slide down the chutes and get the
11:06 am
authorities on there to take this guy into custody. now they have so search every piece of luggage and nook and cranny of the aircraft just to be absolutely sure there is no explosive or other bad thing. >> my next question can go to any of you thooe. i am just visual. you can see where the plane began intended for turkey and this person is delusional or not wanted the plane to land in sochi and that didn't happen. we talked so much about security within that so-called ring of steel in and around sochi, but what about neighboring countries? neighboring airports? is security stepped up there as well? >> i would make the point that this is the advantage of the terrorist groups targeting the games. they don't have to attack inside the ring of steel to have a
11:07 am
massive spectacular effect. that's always the goal. anything in the areas around it or countries around it or flights in fact going to the area, that's a reason why we have u.s. authorities focusing on the flights from the u.s. to russia. that area of interest extends so far and that's really their advantage. they don't have to get at the area that is the hardest to strike where the russians have focused their attention. they can get anywhere and have that dramatic effect these groups are seeking. >> okay. ivan watson and tom fuentes, thank you very, very much. president obama speaking live as the administration responds to a weak jobs report out this morning. both sides are spinning the numbers. we have the truth. plus, just in. video from inside that movie theater where a former police officer was accused of shooting a man over a text message. it's chilling to watch and provides a clear picture of what

introducing cardioviva: the first probiotic to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels without a prescription. cardioviva. . >> it is a fuzzy video. a video none the less. from the surveillance camera, it captures a scene playing out in a movie theater played within this past hour at a bond hearing for a retired police officer charged with shooting and killing a man texting his daughter's baby-sitter as previews of coming attractions played on the screen. martin savage is here and ashleigh banfield is host of legal view on the legalities of this. this video is just played. walk me through it.
11:12 am
>> let me tell you the dates. it's january 13th, a matinee and a crowded theater for the grove 16. we are in theater number ten. already the shot has been fired. that is dust particles coming off they say from the camera that was located on the side. this is kind of a night vision camera, infrared really. that's what it believed to be the man standing up and sitting down. >> the white t-shirt? >> it is believed we are trying to look at this. that is the man who fired the shots. it's very quick. you will see chris's right hand jet out. there is no sound. that is believed the moment he reached and fired. another officer comes over and takes control of the weapon. you don't see is chad oleson. one brief second you see a hand coming forward with a cup, maybe like a cup of popcorn.
11:13 am
it's immediately there after that you see curtis reefs withdraw his hand from the pocket and point. that's when the prosecution was saying that this is the fatal shot. >> ashleigh banfield, you are looking at this with us. with your legal eye, can people in this room truly appreciate what is going on? >> it's certainly not the witness that i thought it was going to be. there is some corroboration that you can attach to it. both sides may be able to get something, but i think really honestly what is so much more powerful in all of this is there were people there. people overheard this. people told their versions of what happened. let's not forget the guy who will be on trial here, the guy who is going to face the music here is 71. we have to figure out what's in
11:14 am
his head. he said something very telling earlier today. this stuck out to me. he said if i were 20 years younger, i might have tosseled with the man. that tells you about the state of mind. i'm not saying the jury would find that reasonable. something to think about. >> we know that curtis reefs and his wife were in the theater. we know that chad oleson, the victim and his wife nicole were there. nicole oleson was quite emotional in this hearing. she was supposed to testify to the point. this is a bond hearing and not trial. this happened a couple of weeks ago. how has she been? >> you see her where she has been crying. today you saw she was wounded as well. she was shot in the hand with a wetting ring on it and you see plenty of times in court. there were times when she is listening to the play back of testimony that is made by the
11:15 am
shooter, she is wincing and clearance this brings back horrible memories. she did testify in a way. the police played the tape of when they questioned her probably about two hours after the shooting. she is still at the theater when they are questioning all the witnesses. you do hear her account and it's different. what she said is that the shooter, curtis reefs confronts her husband multiple times. that point she stressed. >> do we expect as the bond hearing is under way, do we expect a decision this afternoon and will he be out of jail? >> that's hard to tell. i never have seen a bond hearing this detailed. >> why are they doing this? >> i am not thinking of it. >> when it comes to bailing someone out, it's not about guilt or innocence. it's about flight risk and danger to the community. i think at this point what the judge is trying to figure out is what kind of a person is curtis
11:16 am
reefs, 71 years old who packs heat. i can guarantee this. he will get out on bond, he won't be able to carry a weapon. the timing, i am not a logistics expert with that. >> coming up here, president obama speaking any moment now as the administration responds to a weak jobs report out this morning. both sides spinning the numbers. both sides spinning the numbers. stay here.

11:20 am
michigan right now to sign a 10-year, $1 trillion farm bill that took years to pass. take a listen. >> hoary told me if there was thing he wants everybody to know, that detroit is open for business and i have great confidence that he is going to provide the leadership he needs. really proud of him. the point is we all had to buckle down and work hard and fight our way back these past five years. in a lot of ways we are now better positioned for the 21st century than any other country on earth. this morning we learned that our businesses and the private sector created more than 140,000 jobs last month, adding up to about 8.5 million new jobs over years. our unemployment rate is lower
11:21 am
than it was since before i was first elected. companies intend to hire more folks in the months ahead. that's why it can be a breakthrough year for america. i have come here today to sign a bill that hopefully means folks in washington feel the same way. instead of wasting time creating crisis that impede the economy, we will have a congress that is ready to spend time creating new jobs and new opportunities and positioning us for the future and making sure our young people can take advantage of that future. that's important because eastern though the economy has been growing for three years, we have been adding jobs for four years now, what is still true, something that was true before the financial crisis and is still true today, those at the top of the pyramid are doing better than ever. the average american wages and
11:22 am
salaries and incomes evaporate risen in a long time. a lot of americans are worki ii harder and harder to get by, much less get ahead. that has been true before the financial crisis and the great recession. we have to reverse those trends. we have to build an economy that works for everybody and not just a few. we have to restore the idea of opportunity for all people. no matter who we are and where you came from and how you started up and what your last name is, you can make it. if you want to work hard and take responsibility. that's the idea of the heart of this country and what's at stake right now. what we have to work on. >> the opportunity i laid out in the state of the union will help us do that.
11:23 am
an agenda built around four parts. number one, more new jobs. american manufacturing and american energy and american innovation and technology. they can commercialize that into new industries and create new jobs. >> with the skills, training folks with the skills to fill the jobs. number three, guaranteeing access to a world class education for every child and not just some. before they even start school, we are working on pre-k. that's high quality and gets the young people prepared and takes them all the way through to college so they can afford it
11:24 am
and beyond. number four, making sure our economy rewards honest work with wages you can live on. savings you can retire on. yes, health insurance that is there for you when you need it. now, some of this opportunity will require congressional action. it's true. as i said at the state of the union, america does not stand still and neither will i. over the past two weeks, i have taken steps without legislation and created new way for workers to start their own retirement. we helped to make sure all of our students have high speed broadband and learning tools they need for this new economy. i am eager to work with congress
11:25 am
wherever i can. the truth of the matter is that america works better when we are working together. congress controls this first -- >> talk about congress and the president working together. that's a good thing. the chief political analyst gloria borger. after these remarks, the president will sign the agriculture of 2014 bill, aka the farm bill. i thought it was interesting listening to the bit we did, again mentioning income and equ equality. >> this is all part of the push to own helping the middle class and even the farm bill is part of an initiative talking about called made in rural america. what the president is also going to talk about, this farm bill took four years to do. but it was completely bipartisan. there were cuts in food stamps that the democrats didn't like,
11:26 am
but you ended paying farmers no the to farm. the direct subsidies to farmers. instead it was replaced by an insurance program. the congress, it took a long time, but they actually managed to work something through. overall will be good for the country. both republicans and democrats agree on that. >> again, the 10-year 1 trillion dollar farm bill. the other big news, not great news, the job report in a moment. we have to talk about this exclusive interview that happened between my colleague kate baldwin and the vice president. vice president biden touching on whether he might run again for president. let's take a listen. >> can i have a time table some. >> should not run. >> probably realistically a year this summer.
11:27 am
>> when he might decide. we will be seeing a joe biden versus hillary clinton rivalry? >> the way i parse it and by the way, you have to parse his words here. the way i parse it is that he is effectively saying look, it depends on what hillary clinton does do. the way i read it is that if hillary clinton runs, joe biden won't run. if she decides no to, he's in. i think that's why his time table teams to be a bit delayed to me. because i think he is kind of waiting to see what she decides to do. >> he waits and so we wait. have a wonderful weekend. thank you for joining me. >> thanks, brooke. >> the jobs report is weaker than expected job report out this morning. 113,000 jobs were created in the month of january. that to put it in perspective is
11:28 am
far fewer than the economists predicted. unemployment fell a hair to 6.6%, the lowest level in years. republicans were quick to latch on to the report from house speaker john boehner. this is what he said. i'm quoting him. the american people continue to ask where are the jobs. the president clearly has no answers. republicans do. he went on to accuse the president and top democrats of failing to lead and standing in the way of measures to spur growth. over on the white house log, one of the president's advisers calls the president a stark reminder despite the progress made, the after effects linger and creating hardship for many families. mark, welcome back to the show. nice to have you on. >> thank you. >> this job report in a word is weak. does that mean we are downhill
11:29 am
from here or what? >> no. it was disappointing. more typical weather. it will be better. >> how so exactly. spell it out for me. when it's cold out and stormy, people just can't get to work. in december, the big impact on construction activity. in january it's retailing and it's in transportation and schools were not opening. we saw declines in jobs in education and nursing care facilities. it's disruptive. people can't get to work and
11:30 am
they lose hours and it's been a bad winter. >> innocent does speaker boehner have a point? do they have a farm bill? it is gridlock when it comes to jobs. is gridlock holding back do you think? >> no. i don't think so. i think it has been up until the deal we got in washington to reopen government. we got a deal to fund the government the next couple of years. we have more piece of legislation to be signed to raise the treasury debt limit. if congress and administration can do that gracefully and odds are they will, we are good. i don't think uncertainty will be a problem. we will get more jobs in the spring. >> that's good. do you think the federal reserve has room to continue rolling back the economic stimulus. >> yes. if i'm right and it's weather-relate and nothing fundamental has change and still
11:31 am
creating roughly a couple hundred thousand jobs on average, the federal reserve will continue to wind down stimulus. it has a script and really wants to stick to the script and things would have to go badly before they would change this. i think they will continue on their path and their bond buying program will be over by the end of the year. >> you're right. i need to kick this winter away. thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up. >> an infant has been found alive in a tote bag at a gas station. police are investigating how she got there and who took her. that story is next. on our own, we ate anything. but in time you realize the better you eat, the better you feel. these days we both eat smarter. and i give jake purina cat chow naturals. made with real chicken and salmon, it's high in protein like a cat's natural diet. and no added artificial flavors.

it's miraculous. >> it is mi rackulous. the temperatures were below zero all night long, the baby was wrapped in blankets, but it is miraculous. a police officer found this tote bag. he heard the baby crying and that led him to the bag. they were searching for him, but it's a miracle because this baby would not have been able to survive much longer. >> outside i hear the wind whipping where you are. that's not where he was fun to, but can't be far. coming up, a father's plea to mark zuckerburg. plus, in the middle of the night, they launch an assault on a power plant. one analyst calls it and i'm quoting, the most significant incident of domestic terrorism. no one has been charged or arrested. we will tell you what

the president signing his autograph. a sniper attack on a power substation is raising all kinds of fears for potential terrorism here. let me show you video of the attack. what happened was this. snipers fired shots for 19 minutes, knocking out 17 transformers that funneled power to the silicon valley. the shooters were gone moments before police arrived on scene. a former fbi said the assault was not the work the amateurs. >> obviously it wasn't just a couple of guys out having a beer. there was orchestrated attack that was planned and it looked somewhat professional. >> the attack is raising alarms on possible vulnerabilities on the nation's power grid. dan simon is working the story for us. dan? >> brooke, concerns that this could be a dress rehearsal for a larger attack. if you had this happening at
11:43 am
once, that snipers could knockout a significant portion of the power grid. >> it was captured on surveillance video and you can see a light, perhaps a light by an attacker and they are bullets hitting the chain link fence that surrounds the pacific gas and electric or pg&e substation that feeds power to the silicon valley. it shows the electrical grid is not protected. >> this was an unprecedented and sophisticated attack on an electric grid substation using military-style weapons. >> the attack occurred before 1:00 in the morning. the snipers first went into a vault and cut telephone cables. a half hour later, they sprayed it with bullets for nearly 20 minutes, knocking out several transformers.
11:44 am
when police arrived, the shooters were gone and found 100 shell casings from a high powered assault rifle. no fingerprints. it seemed like a professional job. energy workers rerouted power and took nearly a month to make the repairs. >> under slightly different conditions, there could have been a serious power outage or worse. >> it's not clear the motives, but some are trying to bring it to the forefront, arguing that if similar shootings happened at once, collectively they could take out a large chunk of the electrical grid, leaving millions in the dark. this is the former chair of the federal energy legula tori commission. i spoke to him by phone. >> this is more about the larger issue of physical security of the high voltage substations nationwide. the need to ensure that some defensive measures can start being put in place. >> hoary suggests measures like
11:45 am
fences instead of open chain ones that you can see and shoot through. more sophisticated cameras to identify suspects. >> the fbi said at this moment they see the connection to terrorism, but it's penitentiary to point out that since there not any suspects yet, it's impossible to discern a motive. brooke? >> thank you so much. coming up, you have to stick around for this. a father's plea to the founder of facebook. mark zuckerburg. >> did you ever do something crazy because you don't know what to do anymore? that's what i'm doing right now. i'm calling out to mark zuckerberg in facebook. >> facebook is responding and that father joins me next with his emotional story. the old dining table at 25th and hoffman. ...and the little room above the strip mall off roble avenue. ♪ this magic moment it is the story of where every great idea begins. and of those who believed they had the power to do more.

11:58 am
demonstrators pictured seaworld parks and business partners. musicians including trace atkins, the beach boys and ba barenaked ladies canceled performances. young people were moved. these students put a protest, posting it on you tube. >> change your business model. >> seaworld called black fish gross row one-sided. they declined repeated offers for an interview. instead issuing written statements saying the film is inaccurate and misleading and exploits a tragedy. that tragedy was the death of dawn brancheau killed in 2010 by a killer whale named tilikum. they said he was driven it madness by captivity. brancheau's family spoke out for the first time about black fish saying dawn would not have remained a trainer at seaworld
11:59 am
if she felt that the whales were not well cared for. mark simmons, a former trainer appeared in black fish, but then went on to be one of the outspoken critics and turned down an interview, but wrote the black fish crusade against seaworld and care in general is engineered by perfect marriage between sensation alan mall rights organizations and disgruntled ex-seaworld employees. despite the controversy, black fish has not hurt business. >> for hasn't affected our performance and results and we announced record fourth quarter and annual results for the company. >> activists say behind the scenes, seaworld is worried. this recent edition called the truth about black fish. meanwhile the large evaluate investor sold a half billion in company stock.
12:00 pm
seaworld's own chairman sold more than a million dollars worth of his investment. analysts say both sales might be routine transactions and not indicators of worries. last weekend seaworld kicked off the contcert series. it was an overflow crowd on the inside. like the debate that black fish continues to spark goes on. >> martin, thank you. here you go. the reminder that black fish returns sunday night at 9:00 eastern. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> hour two, beginning with breaking news. i'm brooke baldwin. we are learning more about the possible terror plot for the sochi games. a hijacker said a is on board the plane. this is the first time we air the video inside. take a look at this. this is new as well.
12:01 pm
cnn has not independently confirmed that the man in the hockey jersey here is the hijacking suspect, but passengers sold a news agency that this is indeed the guy. he attempts to take over this commercial airliner that left ukraine and reportedly his goal with all 110 passengers on board looking to reroute the plane to sochi. we know the pilot managed to send out this signal and the turkish government scrambled f 16 fighter jets to intercept the plane that landed in istanbul. that attempted hijacker is now in custody. the backdrop to all of this is the opening ceremonies happening today in sochi. joining me now with the latest on what we are learning now is ivan watson. the correspondent in sochi and analyst. do we know if there was indeed a on board this plane?
12:02 pm
>> we don't know that yet, brooke. the turkish government officials are saying the plane has been searched for explosives and more importantly just now turkish government officials telling cnn and announcing they had begun evacuating the plane of some of these 110 performs on board this budget airline flight going from turkey to istanbul. that is good news in the tense that we are not hearing of any possible injuries or casualties right now. we have been getting images from inside that aircraft from turkish news agencies that are getting both still photos of what the jihad news agency reports is the believed hijacker and the man who is wearing a sports jersey. that's according to a news agency identifying the suspected hijacker. also video of passengers aboard that plane.
12:03 pm
these images coming in as the plane presumably was on the job as istanbul airport with turkish government officials trying to figure out how to diffuse the situation. the hijacker demanded that the plane be diverted and we know from the official turk turkish news agency reporting that f 16 war planes were scrambled within 20 minutes of the warning message from the aircraft. they went out over the black sea where the plane was flying and they escorted that plane on the ground in istanbul within less than an hour after the official warning message came out from that aircraft. brooke? >> bob and ivan, thanks. in all your years with the cia, familiar with threats, etc. what does your gut tell you about all this? >> it sounds like it's a loner.
12:04 pm
somebody is sympathetic with the fundamentalists and i doubt it's a chechyan operation. getting a plane into sochi is virtually impossible. one hijacker doesn't sound like them and like they found explosives. this doesn't sound like the real thing to me. frankly the fact that there hasn't been an attack at the opening day is good news. >> great news. two, especially if this is not actually the real deal and this is a lone wolf as you mentioned. my other question is jim made the point when we were talking, if this is the real deal, some sort of extremist group, it would have been more action instead of threatening i have a bomb. it would have been the bomb itself. >> absolutely. there would have been a bomb aboard. >> they would have taken a different route. turkey is out of the way and also a question of whether the
12:05 pm
russians would let an airplane hijack them near sochi. this doesn't seem like a real thing. it's an easy way to hijack an airplane, especially now with the problems there. i hope not and it's good news as i knock on my desk here that nothing else happens. we mention the opening ceremonies and we will have more on what happened here with you coming up. >> now to this. you are about to see what turned out to be a fatal argument over texting in a movie theater. i know you are familiar with the case out of florida. this man was shot and killed texts his daughter's baby-sitter as previews played out on the big screen. a surveillance camera captured this. the video was fuzzy.
12:06 pm
it was played this afternoon in the florida courtroom during a hearing to decide if they should be released from bail on bond. martin savage has the video. it's tough to make out what's happening. >> it's going to be the theater which was on the january 13th matinee and the movie. you have got two men that get into an altercation. this man is looking into the infrared. it's hard to see. that would be curtis reefs returning to his seat after he explained to a manager about the texting. he is sitting back down. it appears to be more confrontation. you don't see chad oleson. he is out of frame. something thrown and then that's when the shot apparently goes off according to the prosecution. you know that because that's dust particles floating down. the force of that gun going off
12:07 pm
in the theater shook the dust from the camera creating that snowfall. now you see an officer that saw that and heard the shot. he gets the gun from curtis reefs and stays by him to make sure he doesn't leave. they are attending to chad oleson administering cpr, but he died a short time later. >> this was played in the hearing and you mentioned chad ole and his wife nicole was hit. you said her ring finger was hit? >> and still. >> she was supposed to testify and did not do so, but how is she holding up? we have been seeing a very emotional woman. >> this has gone on for two days. at times she has been crying and emotional as has been the suspect. it has been a lot of dramatic testimony. as you point out, it's a bond hearing. she is going to we are told issue a statement and speak to the media after the proceedings.
12:08 pm
we are still waiting for that. closing arguments again. it's not a trial, but closing arguments in the bail hearing going on right now. we don't know if reefs will be allowed to bond out. >> we willica wait for that new. the chief of aol getting heat after slashing benefits, but the ceo tim armstrong blames obamacare and i'm quoting him, distressed babies. we will talk about that coming up. justin bieber not exactly lying low. see him? hanging out at a club with p . d diddy and prosecutors charge him for felony vand 58ism for the egging attack. we will talk about that coming up. for cross-country, classical. and for jumps, i need something...special. so i use my citi thankyou visa card for music downloads and earn two times the points...
12:09 pm
12:12 pm
. another case of aol ceo trying to put his best foot forward and it lands in his mouthful they are cutting back on the 401(k) benefits and the company calls 2013 the strongest year in a decade. he talked to poppy harlow about the loss and benefits and it was due to the increasing cost of health care partly because of obamacare. he got more specific when he spoke to the employee-wide conference call yesterday. they report a transcript of the call and said an aol staffer gave on the website, he told employees "we had two aolors that had distressed babies that were born that we paid a 34milln dollars each to make sure they
12:13 pm
were okay. those add up to the benefit cost. when we had the final decision about what to cut because of the increased cost, we made the decision and i made the decision to basically change the 401(k) plan. to remind you, this was from the same ceo who fired a director on another conference call because the man was photographing armstrong. >> from past experience, put that came ra downright now. you are fired. out. >> joining me now is the cofounder of the moms.com and poppy harlow. let me begin with you because you just talked to tim armstrong hours before he had this conference call. did he explain why they were reducing benefits and 401(k) in. >> here did, but it was before this. >> employees who leave the company and they are laid off
12:14 pm
and leave for the job before december 31st will now not get the company match to their 401(k) unless they stay until december 31st. that used to be every pay period. if they do not stand until the end of the year. why did aol make the decision? when the ceo called the company's most successful year in a decade. i asked about that. they said this is in part because obamacare is costing the company $7.1 million more a year and overall the health care costs are going up. i want you to listen to what he said yesterday. >> if you look at our average employee, we would have to increase the payments per month. they were going to make on their health care plans. that's where the balance of that and the obamacare act and the changes that happened there had increases in their health care
12:15 pm
cost. we provide benefits for people with at risk pregnancies and a bunch of other things. that would be a great business. we got one of the places, work mother of the year and a, on l got best place for working mothers. we are specific about the benefits and the costs and try to manage what benefits we can give in a competitive environment. >> so as you heard in our interview, he touted the company's benefits and mentioned the benefits for people with at risk pregnancies and it was after our interview and after other interviews he had done yesterday that he had this call with employees and those now controversial comments came out. i think part of the controversy is that this is a company that did have such a strong 2013, more than $2.3 billion in sales. nearly 93 million in profit. people are saying health care costs are going up, but why are you taking away from some
12:16 pm
people's 401(k) match. >> he is calling out these two mothers and i would guess if i were the mother, that's my private information, but the fact that he is doing it talking about distressed babies, as a mom, how does that rub you? >> it's sort of outrageous that that is used as an example. i want to believe it was a bad mistake. as he said, it's a working mother friendly company and he's a smart guy. i'm hoping that it was a really bad mistake. he sent an e-mail afterwards. he didn't apologize, but as mothers have a hard enough time getting back to work. where we want to sort of be equal in the workplace, this is a really sort of set it back a little bit. of course mothers should be covered, women with babies should be covered under their
12:17 pm
companies. as outraged as i am, i want to believe it was a really bad mistake. >> sunny, i'm talking to you as a mom and as a lawyer. is this okay? can the boss of a major, major company that is ranked high for a working parent company as well, is this okay for him to divulge this or should hr be calling some. >> when i put my mommy hat on which i often have on, i'm outraged and thinking why don't you call me out like this? i'm a valued employee. as a lawyer, i'm thinking he is probably okay. there these privacy laws and hipaa laws. they identifily identify health information and we don't know the identities of the individuals. he department name them. we don't have the social security number and what is typically identifiable information. is there a reasonable basis? i don't know. is there a basis that they say
12:18 pm
we are the only two women that gave birth that year. everybody knew who he was talking about. if you talk about that, then maybe he is in a little bit of trouble with those two ladies. >> tim armstrong, i would love to talk to you. sunny hostin, president obamay harlow. thank you very much. >> justin bieber. the eggs, the drag racing and the pot plane and now this. not a care in the world or so it seems. kicking it with pals as prosecutors figure out whether bieber should face felony charges. look at that.

. >> per we are just getting news from the white house. we learned that the white house is officially on lockdown at this hour. what apparently happened, this is according to the reporting, someone, some man tried to jump the fence right along the road in front of the white house. anyone can walk up and down. someone tried to jump the fence and this individual had two different bags. think about the security presence around the white house. secret service all swarmed in and this man has been apprehended. also what we know, the secret service moved everyone who could be mill about outside the white house inside. as a security precaution and this man is apprehended after trying to hop a fence with two bags. pop is not there. we saw him in east lansing,
12:23 pm
michigan after he signed the farm bill. that's the latest at the white house. if we get more information, we will pass it along to you. the jobless rate dropped again, but the number of new jobs didn't grow much. you see the number there on the bottom left of your screen. 113,000. that's the new positions in january. big disappointment especially after jobs creations really slowed down in december. you have the speaker of the house, john boehner, he pounced all over this. the american people continue to ask where are the jobs. the president clearly has no answers said speaker boehner. here's a great break down. >> you have seen the headlines, but this is 6.6%. there a lot of other numbers in here that show us the labor market not healing as quickly as you would like.
12:24 pm
12.7%. these are people who are out of work and people who are working pardon time and would like to work full time. people have not been able to get back. that number is falling a bit and still too high. you look at the trend and you can see hiring picked up a little bit from december, but when you compare this month's report, january with the average for last year, on average we were creating 193,000 jobs a month. this year 113 thousand thousand jobs created and not enough to even absorb new entrants into the workforce. the bottom line is i think it shows you this. the long-term unemployed are still having trouble. not much as changed for you. still a dire situation there. for the most recently unemployed, a better chance than in years. is starting to heal and another is not. brooke? >> coming up next, a newborn
12:25 pm
five days old swiped out of his bassinet as his parents were sound asleep. he has been found hundreds of miles away from home at the tote bag. police will not say she is a suspect. we are now hearing there has been a threat made against toronto mayor rob ford. that's next. [ male announcer ] this is jim.
12:26 pm
12:27 pm
that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto. like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms
12:28 pm
like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto. once-a-day xarelto means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.
12:29 pm
>> this just in. threats against toronto's crack smoking mayor rob ford. i believe just recently he was caught jay walking and stripped of much of his duties and he was still in power and the mayor of toronto is calling in and paula newton, what do you know about the investigation in. >> police confirmed that two police officers have gone to the mayor's office to discuss with him a threat that allegedly has been made against him and also his family. they didn't know the nature of the threat when it came or how it came today, just that they are investigating the possibility of a threat to him and apparently his family. in the middle of all this? they were having quite a heated debate and whether the flag should be raised over city hall,
12:30 pm
with the openings of the olympics and the debate and protocol that the flag should not go up. the mayor decided it should not and he tried to have it ordered to be taken down. in the meantime he pleaded that he supports all athletes at the olympics and that's all he would say. just another one of the turbulent days of what's going on and exactly what the mayor's stance is on any of these events. this has a lot of controversy swirling around and not a person to shy away from controversy. no idea if the alleged threat has to do with the flag today. >> not a dull time in toronto. thank you very much. we want to take you back to washington, d.c. as we report on the breaking news as the white house is on lockdown. they are outside the white house and made sure everywhere is inside because of the man who tried to hop a fence.
12:31 pm
he has been ap hended. what do you know? >> we have been told by the secret service that there was a man who tried to jump the fence at the white house. he was intercepted by the secret service prove officers and they managed to stop him before he was able to get anywhere. they are examining a couple of bags at the scene to make sure there was nothing that is of concern there. it appears inside the white house things are normal and the president is not there. he's in east lansing, michigan signing the farm bill. he's not at the white house at the moment. there is a full operation there and people are still working and i'm told that the situation is getting back to normal. they are trying to make sure that there is nothing to worry about in those bags.
12:32 pm

12:33 pm
he may have been outside all night in this tote bag, but he was covered apparently in blankets according to investigators. we believe that the aunt is responsible for this. she was picked up in iowa yesterday. they knew that she was in the white house when caden disappear disappeared. they found her and at the time they arrested her on a warrants charge and they found baby clothing and not caden. a search turned him up this morning and everybody is happy about it. he appears to be in good health. >> despite frigid temperatures, caden was found ark live and appears to be doing very well. in the words of ems officials, he is in excellent health. >> great news. kristin smith remains in custody and could be likely facing kidnapping charges. so great to cover a good news story. >> so nice to have.

hockey jersey is the hijacker here who tried to take over a plane. he is trying to fly to sochi, russia. they are not confirming that this is the hijacking suspect. this is the man who was yelling and there was a bomb in the cargo hold of the plane. all of this happening mid-air. the turkish government scrambling f 16 fighter jets to intercept the plane and the backdrop of all of this news today, the olympic games itself. the opening ceremony going off without a hitch. that is if you don't count the failed lighting of the fifth olympic ring. potatoes, potatoes. a reminder who these young ladies are.
12:39 pm
>> amid all of russia's anti-gay law controversy, this duo made famous for the perceived homosexuality as part of an opening act there. joining me now, rachel nichols, host of unguarded. nice to see you, my friend. before we get into the ceremony itself, were there rumblings that you heard about the plane among the crowd there. >> i saw a mention of it on my phone on twitter. i'm sure many other people around the stadium saw the same thing. there was not any kind of large conversation about it. i have been at sporting events where major news events have happened. you can see the crowd in this age of cell phones, a wave of information passes over them and it becomes a big buzz. that didn't happen here. the focus was on the athletes and the ceremony. people were treated to quite an
12:40 pm
interesting spectrum of events. russia celebrated the history, the literature and artistic contributions and even a nod to the soviet era. people were not sure what to expect. the graceful moments came not in the pageantry and the fireworks and there were plenty of fireworks. in the athletes marching in together, we saw a delegation march in a few feet ahead symbolizing what the olympics were about. the terrorism that you were just referring to. we saw this spirit of olympic toughness. an american skier highing and was practicing when sheer to her acl. ripping up her knee the day before the games started. she is out of the olympics and in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. her father looked at him and said dad, am i still an olympian. he said of course you are and so did team usa.
12:41 pm
in the picture if you guys put that up, it's her with ice on her knee on the bus on the way to the olympic stadium. she did on crutches march in with her teammates. it was a nice moment of and what the olympics are all about. >> i tore my acl once and it was not fun. with all the fears and security, were the seats filled? >> not every seat was filled. we did see empty spots here and there, but much more full than we have seen at the venues where there have been big patches of empty seats. the test will come in the coming days to find out how popular these olympic are whether the tourists come and the locals embraced them. it's always a hot ticket and ia relatively full stadium, not completely full. they didn't feature the delegations including the u.s. and brian boitano who said by
12:42 pm
stepping off the plane with the u.s. delegation, he was making a statement. a new controversy i have to tell you, you discussed the anti-discrimination issues here. new controversy. one of the people who lit the name, a former figure skater and racism towards president obama in the past. we will have to see if that picks up and becomes an issue as well. the ioc did praise diversity as an olympic ideal in his speech that was considered a little bit of a shot at what's going on here in russia. interesting it see politics come in a little bit. >> rachel nichols, enjoy your time there. host of unguarded. coming up next, two words for you. justin bieber. and new photos. hanging out with pals p. diddy and rick ross in atlanta a couple nights ago. they were trying to figure out whether justin bieber should face felony charges.
