>> no, sara. and pretty difficult i think for anyone to put together a fairly hawkish fed message a curve yield moving faster than most people in the federal reserve would imagine. really strong housing data a great labor market a good hp. everybody's talking recession but the two most important markets, labor and housing look like they're on fire it's a confusing time, confusing time with fed policy and macro and positioning definitely got over sold. a little bounce. maybe this is it and we get to dodge back into a, maybe a 4,600 range instead of racing back up to the unchange and the year. >> i'm asking on the stock market can stocks rally if the yield curve inverts? we get that recessionary signal. and earnings decline you mentioned labor market a lagging indicator. housing, yes holding up, but showing signs of fading home builders down more than 20% in the last month, at least this year >> home build leers definitely taking a beating and costs coming through and coming off an incredible run lo

>> that's a different discussion, sara roll the clock back. to when we went to easing monetary policy and zero rate policy very accommodative what happened? >> talking deaths of covid >> before that way before that. go back years. when it first started. what happened? saw companies do very well we saw their stocks do extraordinarily well, because there was no place for people to put their money. saw multiple expansion you could see a company earn the same amount of money year one and year two but stock valley goes up. what happened? multiple of that company went up going up, because there was no real other alternative where to put your money we saw multiple expansion for many, many years we are now starting to see the opposite effect. we started to talk about fed tightening, and starting to see alternative places to put your money, risk-free rates going up. credit spreads widening, investors have alternative places to put your money >> nasdaq -- >> seeing multiple compression multiple compression is painful. really is. companies are doing well

kate >> hi, sara.mex, and paypal lower after suspending all operations in russia it cuts off individual russians from making payments overseas or using e-commerce cards issued outside of russia won't work at local merchants or atms visa and mastercard get about 4% of revenue from russia the revenue impact on paypal is even smaller, about 1%, amex is even smaller than that but the other big factor weighing on these payment stocks, higher gas prices that's threatening consumer spending which could weigh on payment volume back to you. >> kate rooney, thank you. we have a news alert on cybersecurity firm mandiant. kristina partsinevelos with the story. >> a report that google is in talks to buy mandiant. this is a cybersecurity firm, such a purchase would allow google to expand its cloud services division and this potentially could be the second largest acquisition for google this information is coming out right now from the information website. we did see shares of mandiant briefly halted they jumped up a

fintech acquisition, sara, interesting.redit kudos can get a better picture of your credit score. could be used by apple on the back send to do things like figure how much apple credit to g give you on the apple card buy an expensive apple, new macs that cost upwards of $3,000 and want a payment plan, figure what your monthly payments can be, something like to. more as a back end type thing for all of these apple pay features's who knows what kind of financial products they want to use it for in the future. >> where and when should we look to the fintech part of apple as a revenue driver for the company? >> part of the services lumped together same area as at-store sales so on and so forth. lumped together in that. right now today apple pay only making fractions of a cent off of every apple pay transaction and then with the apple card, probably more lucrative getting a slice of every transaction on the apple card plus interest payments. >> dave, interesting thank you very much. group them together there. >>> nasdaq down, mi

>> sara, great to be here. it is a huge problem the globe is very tight fertilizer it's a confluence of factors unprecedented demand coupled with a huge falloff in supply availability, only just exacerbated by the war in ukraine and what's going on with exports coming out of russia and ukraine. so we are -- >> what are you doing about it how do you ramp up to help meet that demand? >> so nitrogen production is very much large refineries, chemical plants. we run those plants 24/7/365 there are very few incremental tons we can make we have pushed out some maintenance activity said. we have added some logistics capabilities, vessels and rail cars there's no new tons to make. it's just a matter of trying to get them as quickly as we can into the marketplace >> as i under, it takes natural gas to produce fertilizer, something you have access to, unlike some of your international competitors, pretty cheaply how much of an edge is that for you? >> so, being a north american producer is huge for us. we pay somewhere in

>> yeah, sara, well, first, let's just define winning and losing for a second. so from our standpoint, we're looking to create value for the benefit of all shareholders, and our investors are also looking for us to create value for all shareholders of which we're usually one of the large shareholders so winning and losing for us as well as for investors and shareholders in huntsman is creating value for shareholders. since we have been involved in huntsman, i'm sure you have it on the screen, stock is up about 50% since we have been involved in huntsman. i don't think any investor would consider that a loss now, that being said, you know, i'm enormously competitive so we're not happy about going through a proxy contest and not getting people seated on the board. but it's not just about that it's about how does a company improve? when we get involved in companies, the one thing i can tell you for sure as i mentioned before, management and boards are going to have more conversations. more conversations about how they can improve their business, about what needs to

sara: there were no spots open. all the places we called, like, they would just be like, sorry, no, you can't come to this one. amna: molina ultimately got treatment last summer. but, as eating disorders spiked and medical admissions more than doubled in the pandemic, dr. dzirasa says the demand for help has far outstripped supply. dr. dzirasa: i don't know that we have enough resources or providers to actually meet the need, especially when we think about individuals experiencing eating disorders that are coming from different ethnic backgrounds, because we have to make sure that they are receiving appropriate and culturally appropriate care. and that's really, really hard to find. amna: gloria lucas runs a support group for those with eating disorders in communities of color, nalgona positivity pride. gloria: so, what it means is that you're big booty positive. [laughter] amna: lucas sells merchandise on etsy to raise awareness of people of color with eating disorders. growing up the daughter of mexican immigrants

sara sidner, scott mclean, thanks very much. we appreciate it. >>> woith me now, alexander, great to talk to you again. thanks for coming back. we know you and your family left the capital. you're somewhere outside of the city right now. and i just want to talk to you, alexander. we showed some of this to our viewers just a few moments ago, these images of attacks on civilians, people frantically going into hospitals with their children who have been killed or are clinging to life. this is what's happening, i guess, every hour of every day. what can you tell us about what you've been hearing from people you're in contact with? >> hey, jim. that is, indeed, exactly what is happening in the past days. and it's hard to believe that it's only the 10th day of this war, which the kremlin stubbornly continues to call a special operation, peacemaking -- and i don't want to repeat this. >> yeah. >> because the volume of atrocities that we've seen even in the seven minutes of scott and sara's report, they go far beyond any war i can recal

>> so good afternoon, sara good to be here.ten, i think the interesting thing is over the last day or so, over a billion shares have traded between all the cannabis stocks out there the sentiment is, investors want this to legalize and i think the big thing is if you step back for a second, whether it's the moore act, the safe bake act, or full legalization, lawmakers got to get the message. this is what constituents want this is what consumers want. and why it's good for the economy, why it's good and the canadian market, which is now legalized for three years, has contributed over $18 billion of taxes, over 150,000 jobs, $6 billion in infrastructure with that, consumers, constituents want that lawmakers have to listen to their constituents i think whether one of these acts passes, that's what's important. i think it says congress, senate, you have to get your act together here. >> you mentioned the safe act. some people say that's maybe more likely, this idea that banks will be allowed to do business with you and other mariju

>> well, hi, sara.ged the way where we're buying we have added to some names and i'll go over those in a minute i have been investing in unfortunately 7 out of the last 13 geopolitical crises and every single time the market ended up 12 months later accept for after 9/11, so we think there's a lot going right with the economy. i saw the atlanta fed numbers you referenced earlier as well now we're at zero percent growth, but we're seeing a lot of really positive news like growth in durable goods, capx spending significantly in the quarter, or in the last month. and so we're taking advantage and picking our spots. trimming our winners and adding to some names we have wanted to own or wanted to add to for a long time. so i think there's still opportunities for investors. i think in the second quarter, we'll all be breathing a sigh of relief, at least i hope so but we added to l3 harris a couple weeks ago, or praeb three weeks ago in anticipation of improvements in the defense spending in this country, but

>> yeah, sara. kevin johnson, the company's ceo, just put out a letter to partners i'll read a bit to you here. we continue to watch the tragic events unfold and today we decided to suspend all business activity in russia including shipment of all starbucks products, our license partner has agreed to immediately pause store operations and will provide support to the nearly 2,000 partners in russia who depend on starbucks for their leavelihood. the company has licensed stores in russia so there's a middleman to work with in between. they have about 130 locations and this is the second restaurant we have seen today after mcdonald's also saying it would pause operations at more than 850 locations in russia and yum brands last night also announcing it would pause any future new investment and development in russia. three big names all with exposure pulling back in the last day or so >> kate, thank you >> expect we'll get even more. for more on the crisis in europe and what investors should be doing, let

>> hi, sara. think that they are our concern is that there is incremental pressure on the low-end consumer as a result of as we look at the developments post russia/ukraine. even if there is a peaceful settlement tomorrow, the risk of inflationary pressures remaining elevated for longer, particularly if russia remains isolated, are quite high and issuers, credit card issuers with elevated exposure to the low end consumer are at risk of having credit normalize faster we're not talking about draconian credit but having credit normalized to 100% of 2019 levels is enough for there to be certainly a greater headwintd than we think is contemplated in numbers. and so that in our view is what exposes names like sincrany financial, capital one, to relative underperformance verses names that have greater prime and super prime exposure like american express and discover, which have consumer bases that are relatively better places to absorb those higher inflationary pressures. >> what sort of price targets do

why is this important beyond sara bloom raskin? are four people waiting to be confirmed at the fed. the chair, vice chair, and william jefferson for the board of governors. it is something that holds up important nominations. it doesn't mean the fed cannot do its job, but there is a lot going on beyond sara bloom raskin. haidi: markets are pricing in seven standard rate hikes this year. is this the messaging we expect from the fmo see on wednesday? kathleen: you can understand why people are saying six or seven rate hikes, inflation through the roof, could get to 10% in the coming months. at the same time, there's a lot of uncertainty. what are the risks from the ukraine more and all of this follow. why am i showing you the dot plot again? in 2021, there was a big shift at the end of the year in the december meeting. the fed updated its economic forecast and that's when they make their forecast, where they think rates will be in keeping with where they see the economy and inflation going. when you get to 2022, there are 10 out of 1

. >> sara sidner joins me again from poland.ers -- don't have a plan or formal training, do they know what they're going to do once they go over the borders? is there somebody there from ukraine to meet them, to kind of take them to where they need to -- where they would be used? >> reporter: yeah, that's the problem. with the group that we happened to see while we were in the train station walking through in sort of a military stack -- and that's how we noticed them, some of the camouflage on. we thought, this is an interesting group. they're going the opposite way than the crowd, of those who are refugees. they said that they didn't have anyone that they were planning on meeting on the other side of the border. that part of the plan hadn't been hatched yet, and they were just going to figure it out. as for the guy you saw there f from -- the french canadian man who called himself wally, they had a very good plan, if you will, at least to get them to where they wanted to go. they knew where they wanted to go to the front lines.

sara, i want to be clear, there are so many vectors in this story.wonder how you're making sense of it this morning. >> i've got three words this morning. use your words, will. you are an actor, you are a rapper, you have things that write things for you. you're a smart guy. use your words, not your fists or your hands. it's that simple. i think you sat there and watched that, and i think everybody was shocked because they thought it was part of the skit at first. he was laughing at first until clearly jada wasn't, rolled her eyes. then he gets up and goes and does this. it really took away so much from everybody that was there and from the moment. i have to be honest, i'm a little embarrassed that i'm even talking about this right now. we've got inflation crushing families. we have millions of refugees who are running for their lives trying to find refuge, mothers and children, and we've got ukraine literally on fire and being bombed. this was a moment that did not need to happen. and now it's trending on twitter instead of a thousand other things t

sara, i think fear, still a little overkudone in the u.s.ght in small caps, as mentioned earlier i think we are coming in on very solid economic footing so even though we had to revise -- had to add a scenario, i would say scenario analysis is very, very important in markets like this. we had to give a higher probability of a scenario to groun down grade to higher economic growth and have cushion to weather that more cautious and reduced risk is with international developed equities, in particular europe where you look and the investors sentiment coming down sharply and see a higher risk of things staying really bad for longer. we neutralized that, neutral on international equities. >> one thing that's interesting in the current earnings period is you get a chance to talk to, hear from companies about what they're seeing right now i spoke today to adidas ceo and campbell's soup ceo. discretionary and staple view on the consumer both indicated good note slowdown in purchasing and demand from u.s. consumer. no pushback yesterday on inflation.

sara sidner, so glad you're there to bring us this side of the battle here. victor and alisyn. alisyn, i mean, victor, obviously, the impact on families is something we can't stress enough here. families being separated, men leaving -- man having to stay behind, try to join the fight. families having to make the decision, do i stay with my father, with my husband, with my boyfriend, do i stay with my children to keep the family together, or do you make this difficult journey and take your chances of trying to get to the border and then trying to get through and then figuring out from there? it's just -- i mean, it's really just heartbreaking to see, day after day. >> and specifically, the impact on children and coming up, we will have a segment on what this is doing to children. i mean, children in cancer wards that are hiding in a bunker now and can't get treatment because, as sara points out, there's a power monger who just wants more territory. anderson, thank you very much. we will check back with you. >>> we're just getting this in from ukraine. a russia

i am sara donchey, kpix5. >>> it's about 4:47. let's get a check of weather and traffic. >> we will start with first alert meteorologist darren peck. >>> we will start with how windy it is in the mountains. then i will come back to how it is outside your door. it's a 60-mile an hour wind over mount st. helena in the north bay. mount tam has a 35-mile an hour gust, 50 mount diablo. quite windy in the hills. it's not that breezy yet but i will show you where the wind will pick up at the lower elevations where we live. that's likely the 40s. in fact i don't have any 30s except for livermore. in the tri valley temperatures have dipped down to the upper 30s. not that windy there either. usually the calmer you are, the lower temperatures can drop. here is a great way to see what's going on. look where the wind is. mount st. helena 43, mount diablo with a 34-mile an hour gust. if you look at the communities where we live, it's the teens. here is how that will change today. as we get into the afternoon, winds really start to die down in t

sara cody attributes to the hard work of the county. >> i just want to really thank everyone.ays our efforts saved thousands of lives. the state death rate average was two times more than santa clara counties and the nations was more than 2.5 times more. this is attribute it to high vaccination rates and regulations the county deployed no matter how much they were criticized. >> we have lost 2180 people in our community to covid to date, but without the collective efforts that we all have made, we would have lost many more. reporter: but the pandemic isn't over. the new highly transmissible ba.2 variant is spreading and showing up more in the north county wastewater surveillance system than other parts of santa clara. cases are still stable or declining, and dr. cody says she is not anticipating new mandates at this time. >> how we collectively in our community in the bay area behave will have a lot to do with whether another variant takes off or not. reporepo private health care providers to do their part by continuing to offer vaccination and testing during future surges and

in san francisco, sara kpix 5. >>> santa clara county is going after eight small businesses accused of ignoring health orders to shut down during the pandemic and then failing to pay fines. those penalties range from $13,000 to $300,000. tonight at least two of those businesses are battling back. a downtown salon and a massage studio say they plan to fight the fines in court. >>> tonight moderna says it's preparing to ask the fda to authorize its kid sized covid- 19 vaccine for children as young as six months. the two-shot series is a quarter of the dosage given to adults and the drug maker says trials show promising results preventing symptomatic illness. but maybe not as much as parents and doctors had hoped for. >> the children that got the vaccines depending upon the group, 37 to 44% didn't get sick. so that's -- that's much better than nothing. i'd still like to see 80-90- 100%. but we're not going to probably see that. that's where i think a third jab is going to probably be necessary. >>> moderna says it's all ready preparing to evaluate a potential booster dose. >>> still ahead

sara sidner, cnn, poland. >> heartbreaking, isn't it? >>> well, coming up here on the program, being a child in a war zone, that's terrifying enough, of course. but for kids who are already fighting a different battle with cancer, the russian invasion has made their struggle even tougher. we go inside a hospital working to keep those kids safe and healthy, coming up. >>> also -- >> i ask them, children, come here, please. be safe. come to me. but they didn't want. >> as russia closes in, mothers cope with their children, leaving to fight rather than fall under the heavy hand of moscow. we'll have that and much more when we come back. which saved investors over $1.5 billion last year. that's decision tech. only from fidelity.

it's something sara eisen talked with the most prominent tech regulator. sara joins us with that.d morning, jon it's beena critical news souer of the square in front of the city hall where you would have the demonstration where people would say things that you would find offensive but when you have a situation like this, an aggressor going to war against someone completely innocent, i think you need to figure out how to balance this how to enable people to say what they want to say >> she seemed pretty supportive there. even though hate speech is banned in europe, there's a report that facebook has since clarified that it will still not allow posts call for the death of a head of state meantime, the act, new rules to limit tech companies around competition and enforced content moderation one that's been criticized for discrimination a charge she's heard before. she noted she's far along with her apple cases. one where she charged apple with anti-competitive behavior around streaming music. you can hear from on "closing bell." new excited for a new show and with europe's top tech c

sara sidner on the border in poland for us, thank you. let's go to ivan watson right now in hungary, also near the border with ukraine. ivan, so what are ukrainian refugees find ing when a they a arrive where you are? >> taking about 12% of the refugees, whereas poland has more than 50% and it is similar. women and children at one border crossing, i was at today, either arrive inning cars or on foot. and coming in being welcomed by h hungarian officials and aid organizations and as you travel through the little border towns here and villages, it is striking. i see ukrainian mothers and their kids at restaurants, in little hotels and guest houses as they are trying to figure out what to do next. i spoke with one of these mothers. a lawyer. and this is what she told me. >> crossed day of the war because of explosion. we take a car. i take my mother and my husband. joined us in lviv. it was a terrible more than 60 hours. >> in the car? >> in the car, yes. and we heard [ inaudible ]. we stopped -- >> explosions? yeah? >> explosions, yes, we s

sara, fill us in. >> ana, i'm in poland.train station, so when people show up, they will get a free sim card, allowing them to call wherever they need to call when they are here in poland or anywhere in europe. as they walk in, if they are hungry or need warm food, there is warm food now set up here and by the way, it's delicious. and then, if you come over here, there are people trying to arrange rides for anyone who is trying to get into europe, deeper or into poland deeper to meet friends or family or anyone who's taking them in. what is incredible is this place is popping all day and night. people just keep coming. you see families and a lot of women and children. we are seeing so many children come with their mothers. the fathers, for the most part, if they are between certain ages, they have to stay behind and fight so you are seeing women and children alone but you're seeing such a beautiful outpouring of help. to my left, these are people who have come from denmark, and they are offering eight people free rides to de

sara, stay with me. we were having some issues with your signal but i've been able to hear you loud and clear. i want to ask you, there are some 500,000 people who are then crossing the border there in poland now. what happens to them after they cross, longer term, not just within 24 hours, but in the weeks to come, where are they going? what's going to happen to them? >> that's the thing. that's why you see so much panic on people's faces, so much sorrow on people's faces because, frankly, most of them have no idea. we met a family last night who literally had the clothes on their back. they had nothing. there were bombings close to them. they'd gone into a shelter and literally ran out of that country as fast as they could get here. and they got here eventually by train. and it was just a matter of trying to figure out who they could go to. they were going to a friend's house. the friend barely even knowing they were going to show up the same night. there isn't a lot of planning that you can do. this h

sara mentioned the cold. i hope everyone understands, it is a biting cold.piles with their coats just to try to keep them warm. it takes days to get to the border.
