president petro porashenko did a good job navigating the noble international crisis. however, i think russia is special once again. it is weakened now, probably will be more willing to negotiate. when russia is week, it will come swinging. we have not gotten there yet. maybe a little bit of a conversation with vladimir putin, give and take would be a good idea for the west, the united states and ukraine as well >>> a combination of sanctions and a drop in prices sent the russian ruble tumbling. the latest on the sony hacking story. north korea says new cyber attacks are possible. the fbi says north korea was behind the sony hack which north koreans deny. the release of "the interview", was scheduled last week. pyongyang accuses the u.s. government of being involved in the making of that comedy film. the united states has been considering its response to f.i.f.a. diplomats arrived china to intervene with pyongyang, and the white house may but north korea back on the list of terrorist stakes. in an interview president obama denied the u.s. was at war with the country. >

moscow wanted to be part of the negotiations for a resolution and he said he would be speaking with petro poroshenko, the ukrainian president, over the next few days on video conference. so that was taken, i think, as broadly positive in terms of trying to de-escalate the current crisis over ukraine. of course, president obama has a fresh set of sanctions sat on his desk, ready to be signed, should the white house decide that they still don't think moscow and president putin are giving enough at this point. but we continue to listen in to the president's speech and if there is anything fresh that we need to bring you, we'll do that. back to you. >> cnbc's jeff cutmore live for us in russia. thank you. this is a rolling live, four-hour press conference as jeff points out. we'll be turning sound this morning for you from the questions he's taking from an international audience of journalists. >>> we have your nba highlights for you including an triple overtime for the grizzlies and spurs. we'll let you know who pulled out a win. and actor stephen collins admitting to sexual misconduct with

what is being lost is how much of a petro state the united states has become.that's not being discussed very much. we've had about 5.6 million jobs created in the last term. many of those came in the gas job sector. those will disappear. there's been a lot of growth in this country and clearly an employment increase, and that's come a lot to a large degree based upon an oil and gas sector. i've never seen an economy where hard assets like oil, grains, copper and various other commodities really hit the skids to the degree this has, and yet we all go skating away happily in terms of the rest of our assets around. oil is a scary part of what we're looking at in the global economy, but also in the u.s. economy right now. how that plays out over the next six to eight months, that's really the question. in my view, it's a lot scarier than most people give it credit for. >> we know from the november jobs report, this was a headline from the wall street journal. the number of jobs report: are wages finally snapping back? is that good news? are wages finally snapping b
