the cost as much as yankee stadium per jet. new york for breakfast, tel aviv for lunch, shanghai for dinner. the timeline and the how'd they do that, let's get to it. breaking news, "shepard smith reporting" live from the fox news deck. first from here appears the accused killer in pennsylvania has taken one last life, his own. police say they've now found the body in a wooded area in montgomery county, pa, where they've been searching for the gunman. they're planning to hold a news conference in a little bit. the fugitive's name was bradley stone, a marine veteran who served in iraq. investigators say it appears he shot and killed himself. the body turned up not far from the spot where police say he gunned down his ex-wife then murdered five of her relatives. the victims included a grandmother and a teenage girl. the intense manhunt had people in the area taking no chances.

some schools closed, others on lockdown, cops stepping up security in public places, including hospitals. people who knew both the ex-wife and her accused killer told producers here on the fox news deck that they feared for their own lives. but now that the manhunt appears to be over attention turns to the rampage and what would make a decorated war veteran snap. our senior correspondent rick levenle that on breaking news coverage from pennsylvania this afternoon. what's the scene there now, rick? >> well, shep, when we first got here there were heavily armed members of the montgomery s.w.a.t. team and canine unit. we believe the body of bradley stone is located. we're told that he did shoot himself in the head, but they're working to confirm his identity according to the montgomery county district attorney's office. they have a news conference scheduled one hour from now where we believe we'll get that confirmation that, in fact, they have located the man who was wanted for killing his ex-wife

and five of her relatives. this location you're looking at is only about 200 yards from bradley stone's home and there are woods that connect that area to this area so he could have presumably run off into the woods. we don't know between yesterday morning and today when he might have ended his life but that's what we're being told. the former marine reservist discharged in 2011 did one tour in iraq, reportedly treated for ptsd, in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife over their two daughters, believed to have been found dead in the woods. waiting for confirmation some time in the next hour or so. >> cops say there were six victims who died here, but one who somehow survived, tell us about that person. >> yeah. his former nephew, 17-year-old anthony flick, was one of the first people shot and one of the last to be found around noon yesterday inside the home where his mother and father and little sister were also killed. we're told from local media, including our local station fox 29, that this young man, the

17-year-old, tried to stop the killer believed to be stone from killing his little sister and at that point, he was stabbed and according to fox 29 had three of his fingers cut off. he is now in serious, very serious but stable condition in a hospital. authorities told us at a news conference today they have hopeful he will make a full recovery, put a heroic effort by this young man to try to stop his sister and family presumably from being killed. he is in the hospital and expected to survive. >> rick on scene, thanks. people in the ex-wife's apartment complex knew the company had a tense relationship. a reporter who spoke with nose neighbors joins us now. eric devlin. it was a mighty difficult time for everyone there. tell us about it? >> it was a chilling scene, i have to be honest. going to pennsburg yesterday i was a little scared. a lot of s.w.a.t. team officers in and around the scene, large military-style vehicles up and down the street.

police telling us to back up to different corners. you know, you never knew what was going to happen next. we weren't sure if bradley stone was in his home at the time yesterday in pennsburg so there was a real tense scene up in pennsburg yesterday. >> understandably so. in fact, one-time friend of the ex-wife who lost her life was planning to come on with us today to tell us all about her and her fears for her life in the past, but she was scared to give her name, because she was worried she might be attacked. i'm guessing an enormous sense of relief. do you know any details about how the discovery came? >> from what i've read so far, it sounds like police officers were able to locate stone's body about a half mile from his home in pennsburg, though the body has not yet been confirmed by montgomery county unfortunately. >> we're waiting for that in a news conference expected shortly. eric devlin from digital first media, thank you. >> thank you. there's a new and serious warning out today from the

hackers who claim they broke into the computer systems at sony pictures. and this time, they've referenced the attacks of 9/11 and this time, it is very serious. according to the reporting of "variety" magazine at this hour the hackers have directed their warning at the theaters that screen the upcoming movie "the interview." it's about two men who try to kill the north korean dictator kim jong-un. the hackers call themselves guardians of peace. part of their message reportedly reads i, quote, the world will be full of fear, remember the 11th of september, 2001. then whatever comes in the coming days, is called by the greed of sony pictures entertainment. north korea has denied any involvement in the recent attacks, but still praised the hackers. it sounds largely as if whoever these hackers are, they most likely don't work for north koreans or at least from all we can tell. sony has not yet responded to the new message. but the attackers have

reportedly also released what they're calling the beginning of their christmas gift of data. and we'll get to much more of this as new information comes in. again, the reporting from "variety" magazine and variety.com, warning that those theaters which screen that movie, which is in part about the attacking of the north korean dictator, could face what the magazine reporting describes as some sort of 9/11 attack. a major investigation under way after the massive fire broke out at an apartment complex in los angeles. police now say they're looking for two men who appeared on surveillance video while those buildings were up in flames. our information specialist chris has all the details as they've come in late today over here. a lot of curiosity about who these people are. >> yeah. investigators do not have a lot of leads but there are two men they want to question. they are calling them potential witnesses. this first guy was seen around the scene of the fire, trying to hop the fence there. he's wearing a leather jacket and a baseball cap. firefighters eventually brought him away from the scene.

they didn't check his i.d. they don't know who he is but would like to question him. this other person of -- not a person of interest but a potential witness they want to talk to is wearing a san diego chargers jersey and backpack. he was around the scene at the time. they would like to question him. neither have been named suspects or persons of interest. they think the two will have information to piece together, kind of how this fire came to be. one thing investigators are saying is that the fire was so massive, they believe it was arson. they believe it was intentionally set. it was an apartment complex under construction. so there were no sprinklers, no walls. it spread very quickly. so we have these incredible pictures of what it looked like in downtown l.a. they want to question those two. >> and two people they would like to speak. the pictures are up for you at foxnews.com. thanks. heros of sydney, australia now. two people who gave their lives during the standoff at a cafe. ahead their stories and what

we've learned about the gunman at the center of the steej. and why britons's prime minister warns the same sort of attack could come at any moment in his country. a fire that consumed an entire city block in los angeles. authorities are looking to talk to two different men who they want to question, not persons of interest, but they want to question about a fire they believe is arson. their pictures as i mentioned again, up at foxnews.com. ght, sl arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain.

what happened in australia could happen anywhere. a lone wolf-style attack like the hostage siege in sydney could happen at any moment in the united kingdom. that specific announcement today from the british prime minister david cameron. he says the standoff earlier this week is a reminder of the danger britain faces and he points out officials have already stopped the series of terror plots in recent months. australian media reports indicate the victimses who died in that cafe siege helped save their fellow hostages. those victims were a lawyer and mother of three children named katrina dawson and the cafe's manager tori johnson. sydney's catholic archbishop spoke about them during a prayer service. >> apparently seeing an opportunity, tori grabbed the gun, tragically it went off, killing him. but it triggered the response of the police and eventual freedom for most of the hostages. reports have also emerged that

katrina dawson was shielding her pregnant friend from gunfire. >> we're also learning more about the gunman himself. an internet monitoring group reports based on his social media posts, he saw himself as some kind of martyr. according to the group the man complained, people had tortured him in prison for his political beliefs and the he claimed he was fighting for islam and peace. trace gallagher is live with more. what more are we learning about this gunman, trace? >> well, the gunman whose name is man haron monis has been wanted by authorities back to his time in iran where he was accused of opening a travel agency and fleeing with the travelers money and many australian citizens want to know why he was free considering he had been accused of being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and a series of sexual assaults and also convicted of sending letters to the families of australian soldiers killed overseas comparing them to hitler soldiers. monis had converted from shia to

sunni muslim, pledging his allegiance to abu bakr, the leader of the islamic state. here's australian prime minister tony abbott. listen. >> individual concern is obviously, was obviously a deeply disturbed person. deeply disturbed person. there was nothing consistent about this individual's life, except that he was consistently weird. >> reporter: during the 16-hour standoff the suspect demanded to speak with the prime minister, but tony abbott did not comply. shep? >> hero victims in the end, trace, both of them sounds like. >> and the praise for these two people really is astounding. those who knew katrina dawson called her a super woman, saying she was brilliant as a lawyer, an accomplished woman, and more importantly an adoring mother and wife who was raising three children. they say the fact that she gave her life trying to save another, comes as no surprise.

as for the cafe manager tori johnson, he was very much loved by the people he worked with. they called him a compassionate leader who died exactly the way he lived, always looking out for others. here's friends talking about both victims. listen. >> i can't say enough about him. it doesn't surprise me. he was never going to leave. he never would have left his staff there. >> katrina was nothing short of formidable to be honest. she was probably the most intelligent person i knew. she had impeccable character. >> meantime the memorial at martins place where the shooting happened is growing by the second. you can see from the pictures there is an outpouring of love and respect for those who were involved and those who lost their lives. shep? >> trace gallagher in l.a., thanks very much. to a story we've been reporting on for a while, remember the case of -- as prosecutors put it a man set up a trap to catch a teenager who

had been breaking into his home. he eventually shot and killed the person and now claims stand your ground defense. well that's moved through the court system. the two sides have been told and the jurors are deliberating. closing arguments, very interesting. we'll have those for you, including why prosecutors say the man thinks his neighborhood should rejoice. plus a driver finds herself stuck in a river as her car fills with water. video of rescue teams trying to get her out and we'll bring them to you next. you're driving along,

bracey,. rescue crews have pulled a woman out of her car after she got stuck in the middle of a cold river. it happened about an hour south of boston. the woman says she was driving home when another vehicle crossed into her lane so she swerved off the road to avoid it and that's when her car went

down this big hill into the water. rescue teams say a strong current carried the vehicle at least the length of a football field before it finally got stuck on a rock. the woman apparently told 911 the dispatch eer that water was pouring into the floor of the car. the team of rescuers got her into an ambulance. no word on how she's doing at this hour. the case now, this next one, the jury has reached the decision or the possibility of deciding on one, of a man who says he shot and killed an exchange student in his garage. today the prosecutor said the suspect is proud of himself. and thinks his neighborhood should rejoice. the suspect is this man, markus kaarma. he says that he shot the teenager in self-defense because he feared for his family's safety. but the prosecutors say he actually methodically planned everything. meticulous in every way. today they say he even warned his neighbors he was going to hurt somebody before it

happened. prosecutors say he was angry because burglars had hit his home before so he left his garage door partly open, against the orders of police, and waited for somebody to come in. defense attorneys argue he was dealing with a lot of stress. just yesterday his attorneys rested tare case with a video of him crying in the interview room after the cops accused him of murder. criminal defense attorney whitney bone is here with us. here's the thing, prosecutors made the case and according to those in the courtroom made effectively he set a trap, his prey came in and he shot and killed him. >> yes. but the bottom line is, had he was being burglarized. at the end of the day a burglary was occurring and the prosecution focused on the fact that the 17-year-old boy was there simply to steal a beer. at the end of the day that's still a burglary. >> any time a burglar comes around armed or not whether i feel like i'm about to die or not i can shoot and kill him? >> pursuant to montana law it's

not just that you're in imminent fear of great bodily harm or death but being victimized with a forcible felony which burglary qualifies. in the situation kaarma was faced with is at the end of the day going to come down to whether or not reasonably based on the totality of the circumstances he was faced with he felt like he was in imminent fear of great bodily harm or death and he was being victim e victimized by a forcibly felony such as burglary which is what occurred in this case. >> he told his neighbors i'm going to hurt somebody. the police said keep your garage doors down, due diligence, try to protect yourself, lock your front doors, do basic things human beings have to do. what if he set a sign up out front a 1 tho you sand dollar pot of gold in the garage, it's unlocked, help yourself and somebody came in and he blew their head off would that be okay and why not? >> it wouldn't. >> why is this okay? >> because in this instance he didn't do that.

he didn't put out a sign. >> he didn't set a trap. >> a trap would imply that he set it up so that someone was invited to be in his home. just by leaving your garage door open doesn't mean you give up your expectation to live in safety in your own home. nor does it mean you give up the expectation you don't have someone wandering into your garage in the middle of the night or early morning hours in the dark, regardless of what the reason being, you know, you don't give up that right. >> right. >> we should all be free to leave our garage doors open that around here if i do that sort of thing and i shoot and kill somebody i'm going to jail. because i should -- i was in my house, this guy came out and shot this person and what i'm trying to illustrate here by arguing the story in this way is, the laws are real different there in montana than they are in some other state. this stand your ground law does not come without controversy. >> it comes with a lot of controversy and i think there's been some discussion by montana lawmakers since this incident they're talking about repealing it like what happened in florida

where i practiced. after zimmerman there's been a lot of talk about repealing stand your ground laws as well. i think they are valid laws. we have the right to be safe in our homes and people who exercise the right to protect themselves in their own home, you know, the prosecution is arguing in this case that he should have turned a light on and he should have shut the door to the garage. the garage is attached to his house. what is -- why does he have to do that? wait for the guy to then break down the door, shoot through the door? i mean because he -- >> this one didn't have -- >> he didn't, but the bottom line is in montana and with these stand your ground laws, the mistake that he didn't actually have a weapon doesn't matter. it doesn't -- i mean it matters but it doesn't negate the pro it text he's afforded under the law. he still has the right to protect himself if he reasonably fears that he's in imminent risk of great bodily harm or death or a victim of a forcible felony in his own home. >> the jury is tasked with

deciding whether he really was. >> right. >> in jeopardy. whether he really was in jeopardy of great bodily harm or what he did was much like you would for a raccoon trying to get into your trash can, you set a trap for the raccoon and blow its head off. with the raccoon that's kind of okay unless you have animal activist rights around, still in america if it's a human you really can't do that if well -- >> the trash is not as protective as the house. >> i would hope not. >> not even in florida. >> or montana. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> the final argument, the closing arguments have happened. we're expecting a jury will make a decision on build they believe this particular person, that he did stand to lose his life or receive great bodily harm or if he did this as the prosecution said and set a rap. we'll let you know. hundreds are in mourning after taliban gunmen stormed a school, opened fire at anything that moved and doused one

at least 141 people are dead, most of them little children after taliban gunmen stormed a military run school in north -- in northwest pakistan. the terror group calls it retall laugs for the killings of taliban fighters by pakistani authorities. officials say it looks to them like the militants only goal was to kill innocent children. as emergency crews rushed to the school, students and teachers describe how it went down. >> translator: we saw six people climbing the wall.

we thought it must be the kids playing some game. but then we saw a lot of guns with them. >> reporter: guns and bombs they strapped to their bodies. as army commandos moved in they found the attackers had slaughtered children and teens. at a nearby hospital, a chaotic scene. as workers stacked cough if fins and survivors recounted the horror. >> translator: we hid under the desks. they shot dead our teacher and burned her. >> reporter: this young man began to talk about how the attackers shot a toddler right in front of him. >> translator: it was too much. >> reporter: a taliban spokesman claims this is a revenge attack. you see the school is next to a military camp in peshawar. earlier this year troops launched an operation in nearby waziristan to root out militants.

the government, says pakistan's prime minister, will continue the operation until it banishes terrorism. little comfort, no doubt, for the mothers and fathers who found their children's names on the list at the hospitals. or for the ones still waiting for word. >> translator: so far they can't find my son, dead or alive. >> you heard one student say that the gunmen set a teacher on fire while the children were under their desks. they reportedly cut off the heads of some of the victims. according to officials in pakistan this north waziristan region the attackers wore uniforms and came through the auditorium. they started shooting at random. the fighting lasted for hours. officials say all of the attackers died. two years ago, a taliban gunman boarded a school bus and shot malala yousafzai for promoting education for girls and she recovered and won the nobel

peace prize. in response to today's attack she wrote in a statement, quote, i am heart broken by the senseless and cold blooded act of terror. i along with millions of others around the world, mourn these children. my brothers and sisters. but we will never be tdefeated. president obama condemned the assault calling it a horrific attack. ed henry live at the white house for us this afternoon. what else are officials saying about this? >> well, shep, they see that these images have come in as some of the it funerals for the young students have already started. we've seen the coffins dragged out of the schools, brought to cemeteries and secretary of state john kerry spoke out and said that these images are just gut wrenching and it was interesting as well that white house spokesman josh earnest was careful to note this is the pakistani taliban, not the afghan taliban. listen. >> well, but as it relates to the specific school the pakistani taliban, again, they claimed credit or they claimed credit or responsibility for

this attack, but those who claimed responsibility for this attack have said, is that they were reacting to the latest pakistani military offensive in this region of the country. >> reporter: the reason why that's interesting, the white house is taking great pains to stress this was the pakistani taliban, not the afghan taliban, because remember, this attack came just hours after the president went to new jersey at a u.s. military base and told u.s. troops again, we're pulling all but 10,800 u.s. troops out of afghanistan by the end of the year so that they're trying to stress this is on the other side of the border but let's not forget, that border is invisible sometimes. the violence has obviously been on both sides of the border. >> that border visible to only those who drew it in many cases. yet, the taliban in afghanistan is criticizing this act of the taliban in pakistan? >> yes. and they've called it unislamic and tried to draw a distinction on the afghan side from the pakistan taliban but we should point out both of these groups

have similar roots and there has been an uptick of violence from the afghan taliban on that side of the border in recent days as well. so the very bottom line is, yes, this is on the pakistan side of the border today, but as the u.s. gets ready to take out almost alls u.s. troops after the longest war in u.s. history, the question remains, what's going to happen in the days ahead as most u.s. troops come home. is it going to be similar to what happened in iraq where the vacuum was filled by isis militants. >> ed henry at the white house, thanks. let's bring in edward ganine former u.s. ambassador to jordan and kuwait, now at george washington university. thank you. >> you're welcome. glad to be with you. >> is it helpful in any way to remember how north waziristan became what it is as the soviets were fighting there and before they headed out it was the pakistanis and the united states who recruited these people to come in and it has been one lawless cesspool ever since? >> absolutely right. and this is a place where the

taliban of afghanistan fled to use as a safe haven to attack both the new afghan government and u.s. forces and coalition forces. i myself question this attempt to divide the afghan taliban from the pakistani taliban. there may be two structured organizations, but they're very closely allied. >> it's all the same sort of mentality, is it not, and doesn't it go back to that time with the soviets when they were our friends and we gave them weapons, now they're our enemies and killing them with us? >> this goes back really far. the taliban in afghanistan have actually undertaken the same kind of atrocities, the terrible ones there, they just aren't quite as large and this particular case as dramatic as this, which is atrocious. >> do you have concern about hows the pakistanis are going to react and how much of an inflaming mechanism this can be. >> i do because there can be a backlash against the government from these families who tragically have lost so many

loved ones, that the government somehow prompted or promoted this, provoked it, that's the word i was looking for. i think you have to say, that for a long time the pakistani government did not have control of this area of pakistan and about six, eight months ago, they were determined to wipe out the taliban supremacy and they've been successful in that effort and i think the united states needs to encourage them to stay steady and that kind of an approach to do away with the terrorists. i'm glad the pakistani government has examine out the way it has. >> we're doing that, encouraging them to do that. our recent history with pakistan is about as disastrous as with any nation in the region and you wonder is there going to come a time when we have to step in and help them like we've done all over that whole region frankly to no avail. >> i don't see us coming in that way. >> i hope not. >> not militarily. >> we can provide assist tons the pakistanis through the connections with their intelligence community and with the military. we've got good ties even though

a lot of rough times has occurred in the past. >> many of our viewers will remember that's a nuclear nation over there and if things go to heck in a hand basket the whole world is in trouble. >> that's sort of true. >> it's not -- is it a stretch to say it's teetered in recent years, that government in that region? >> well, the truth of the matter is, the government has been far more democratic in recent years than was traditional. the military tended to dominate for decades so you have a messier political situation that's for sure with various political partying and factions. i think the government is stable. i don't see it collapsing. >> skip with that bit of good news amid a horrible situation. good to see you. thank you. >> thank you. think of it again now, i mentioned it 40 minutes ago. a jet that can take you anywhere in the world in about four hours. a jet that can theoretically take you even into space. a jet that its manufacturers say is four years from reality.

17 minutes before the hour. my favorite story of the day if it's true, otherwise i'm mad. soon you could travel anywhere in the world in four hours. scientists are developing a jane plane rocket thing to make that happen. they say it could go to space as well if you want and officials at the european space agency, european space agency, put its stamp of approval on the project. here are the pictures. this is what you would go from here to shanghai in four hours in. that's it. that's a look of the plane. researchers say from a reaction engines that it travels at five times of speed of sound. mac 5. much faster than current

passengers jet but not as fast as the space shuttle used to fly. passengers could fly from new york city to bali in the same amount of time it takes to run a marathon for maybe you to run a marathon. because of this engine which british aerospace firm developed. engineers say it could reach those fast speeds because it's design keeps the engine from overheating. workers say they hope to launch their first test flight in 2019. less than four years from now. and have it on the market about five years after that. lance is back with us, the chief correspondent at the website mashble.com. is this real? >> not yet. >> when the british put their stamp on it, the european space agency, put their stamp on it, i'm like well -- >> that probably means it was privately funded going slowly, they tested the engine on the ground, basically takes oxygen to sort of super charge the engine to get five mac but the tests are on the ground not strapped to this 175 foot long

windowless jet. and so that testings has to happen. that's probably the toughest testing not just get it up there, even just getting it going mac 5, but getting it to pull away from the earth's gravitational pull. one of the toughest things any space agency has to do. obviously the european space agency is interested because we've suddenly all become interested in space travel again. we had that orion flight. >> you get up to a level where there's not as much friction and you can fly faster. >> right. you have to get to get into orbit, it takes that extra push and they're saying this plane can get from first of all doing the four-hour amazing flight but getting into space to go -- it says in orbit. i'm not sure what it's going to do up there and what that will do for travel. talking about doing projects. this is another reusable aircraft. 200 flights on this aircraft. again, why the space agency is interested. >> is the idea that we would be able to move people around?

i mean some billionaire wants to get to shanghai for dinner? >> i don't know. we had the virgin galactic, spaceship 2, testing it like crazy. the unfortunate accident. but that is proof of how hard this is for whether it's consumer travel, commercial travel or it's for industry and space. and it's not clear really what these people want to do, but the existence of new engine technology is very important and i'm sure not just the european space agency but i bet nasa is looking at it too. it's a cool idea. >> here's what i'm sure of. there's going to be a lot more testing in the days, weeks, months, years ahead. we'll follow it. a serious topic we would like to discuss with you. we reported the sony hacking story has take onn a new and potentially dangerous turn. a message out from the, quote, guardians of peace, unquote, the group that claims it's responsible for the hacking of the tone sony pictures site, warning of an attack ones the movie theaters that screen the comedy "the interview."

their warning included reference to attacks of 9/11, past messages about memos of budgets for sony films salary information, employee pedcle records, social security numbers an embarrassing stuff for sony executives and actors and all the rest. when this group puts out a message like this saying watch out for 9/11 style stuff at the theaters that are going to screen this, are we go, there's nothing to this or something spells. >> i think it's an unknown. these are hackers, right. we thought there's been a lot of information that said these are not north korean hackers. why would they be attacking anybody who's going to see this movie? however, you have to understand these are people, you can't see their face when they're making these threats. explaining to someone else, are they angry or are they smirking? these are hackers who their arsenal is in technology, in the computer. that's how they attack. the kinds of attack they're talking about i doubt they're capable of, but they are basically tweaking people right

now because they kind of got the attention of the world right now. they've got the attention of major corporations, obviously sony, and so it's freaking everyone out. >> yeah. >> it is honestly very unusual for hackers to make this kind of threat. >> and the north koreans must be wild lly happy about this becau no one over there is happy we're talking about a movie offhandily assassinating kim jong looking at things. >> i'm sure they are enjoying it but honestly there's real pain right here, real pain for sony and real pain for everybody who has done business with that company. whether or not there's anything to this threat, the pain of this hack, is going to continue for a long time. >> that seems clear. lance, sir, thank you. >> pleasure. a fox urgent now. update on a story we reported in this hour. a district attorney in pennsylvania has just confirmed to fox news that an accused killer is dead. we were reporting they believed he was, now they're confirming it. this is video of where police say the body turned up in

be stocks rallied earlry in the day. they've gone under water. just a little bit.

quick look at the big board. off more than not too bad on today's session. 75. oil prices did tick slightly higher. look at that. oil prices were at 104 bucks in june. so they're still down, they're half price from then, but the price of benchmark crude at 55.93 at the moment, near its lowest levels in 5 1/2 years. gerri willis here from the biz, host of the willis report on the business network. fox network. really volatile day. the traders are making money. >> it's unbelievable. 50% sale on oil as you say, that's a 346 point swing. this is very rare. only had 12 days this year when there have been 300 point days and the last one of those was october 15th. what happened then? it was over 450 point swing inside that trading day, right. after that stocks were off to the races. so maybe it's going to happen again. >> maybe it will. nothing good is coming for russia. it looks like the only way

vladimir putin can save his economy is to get out of crimea, get out of eastern ukraine, so that the sanctions go away. i don't know if that will do it. >> maybe. on the other hand, he's really great at appealing to nationalism inside his own country and keeps people on his side. there's always that. this is a disaster what's going on with the currency. i want to show you how tied at the hip the ruble and oil prices are. in our original numbers it was far more dramatic than that. you saw oil plummeting and the ruble with it. it was down 17% yesterday alone. think about that. and now apple shutting down its on-line iphone store because they can't price their phones. they don't know what to do. >> think of what happened to these people. they went to bed last night and interest rates in russia were 10%. >> now. >> they woke up this morning they were 17.5%. >> that's right. >> did it in the middle of the night. >> what do you do? you go out and buy everything you can in today's ruble because it's going to be worth less tomorrow. >> they've gone to the malls and

buying up washing machines and stuff. but the problem with this is, people are yanking money out of that country for fear that they're about to stop the yanking of money out of the country. >> because they may stop the yanking of money except for those people super close to the people who lead that country. that's been the long-term story. >> i mentioned speaking of russia, that country's man of the year, just named, and it's none other than, drum roll, vladimir putin. he's won it for the 15th straight time according to the russian news agency interfax, 68 people -- 68% of responders picked the russian leader from a slough of public leaders and why wouldn't you? he gave away the equivalent of $50 billion to his buddies for the sochi olympics, since his ruble has lost 65% of value, hundreds of billions have left the economy, its people about to starve and inflation about to sky rocket. he's clearly awesome. we'll be right back. ♪soft holiday music ]♪
