russia -- that's using conventional and unconventional. worry just producing from the conventional fields in siberia, 65 billion cubic feet per day. controls almost all of their narl natural gas. -- these are all inner circle allies and loyalists to putin. so what does this all mean? in europe, germany depends hundred% of the natural gas they consume froms crime russia. poland 87%, finland, 100%. even the u.k., 25%. now, all this happened with the largest successful shale gas formation was from a company called quadrilla. the bullet shales in the u.k. proved up a little over 100 trillion cubic feet of gas and that's enough gas to supply britain for about 200 years. but they still depend on 25% of their gas from russia. lord brown, who used to run bp who really understands the issues with russia because of bp's investment, he is the chairman of quadrilla so he understands what is going on. now everything changed. the large e construction project in the to world, is not in north america or europe. but it's the natural gas pipeline from russia to china. eventually we

despite good relations with russia they use this center and f-16 to be nato eyes and ears in the sky when it comes to russia. norway runs that operation from the military headquarters which it recently moved 600 miles north to budda becoming the only country with a military headquarters inside the arctic circle. one big reason for the move to keep better tabs on russia. buried deep inside an arctic mountain they track bombers on giant monitors an image that has memories of 1950s cold war surveillance and lately that has come roaring back to life. nato and russia has always existed but the crisis in ukraine may have fundamentally redefined moscow's relations with the west. >> i think without question the ukrainian crisis pushed the russia west relationship over the cliff and something that is different from what we had for most of the post cold war periods. >> reporter: in a speech putin gave to russia parliament announcing annexation of crime yeah he outlined the new vision for the kremlin. moscow would protect what it continues the sphere of influence. >> one part in which he warned russia's western colleague that if you compress a spring

russia has pledged to send a team to help in the search. what will they be doing to help the effort? >> reporter: this just coming in to us from russian state media that russia is sending two planes. they're actually on the ground in jakarta, along with a couple dozen divers. that's going to obviously add manpower to get more teams into the water in part to recover anything spotted from the air or ships and in part to take a closer look at the ocean floor. depths -- pretty shallow out there. we're told in the 100 to 150-foot range. but it's murky and when you have choppy seas on top, that doesn't make it easy at all. generally, weather conditions expected to get better after a couple of days. but i have to tell you, it's rainy season here in indonesia, this is the tropics, it's common to get cloud cover, afternoon thunderstorms. we'll wait and see what happens in the days ahead. at this point, 158 families still waiting for answers. >> david molko, thank you so much. >>> i want to go to cnn's tom foreman to help explain where exactly the search area is shifting to and why the weather continues to really hold up the search effo

russia's credit rating to junk. chris, thank you so much for joining us from moscow. the eu and the u.s. lking about another round of sanctions against russia. what kind of economic and political impact would another round have? >> is sanctions come, they will add on to the existing stock of sanctions. there had been a fear that we could move to something far more serious like the banking system. what we are really expecting is that the sanctions will be adding to the sanctions we already have. it does not really make the situation that much worse. the more serious sanctions to hit russia were last august. that remains the most serious round of sanctions. some embellishment of that. >> is the junk rating the game changer? or does putin shrugged this off? >> in the long term, it is a serious issue. it will make it a lot more difficult for russia to pull out of the crisis once we get through the politics. it is a lot easier to use to your -- lose your investment-grade status than to get it back again. it does not materially change the difficult situation we are already in. russian banks and

what is your thinking about that, especially since it is a whole amount of chains that russia is using from little green man and nuclear capabilities in ways that the soviet russia simply didn't. >> if you look at russia today you have to look at it as today understanding its history as well as what has been stated as their goals for the future. and as we work through deterrence with them, first and foremost we have to have deep cranial understanding of where they are. their leadership thinking and where they're trying to go with their objectives. and as you said in today's world, we need to look at it in an integrated fashion. and it really requires time, patience and capability in dealing with that. so it is very important that russia remains on our radar scope in a big way. but as we work this that we work it in an integrative fashion across our whole of government capabilities. but with deep regard to our allies and partners that are also associated with this. >> what does that look like exactly? i mean, is it a capability for capability match? you mentioned whole of government, of cour

so the question nowadays is how many bruises will we get from a russia that is still 30 years hinder us? have? there are no chances for russia to win in this because you can't nowadays use tanks and force to solve such problems. if we were in toll dater, if we work together, if we defend the peace together the quicker russia will understand it. >> you said russians are good people who have bad luck with their leaders. what do you think of vladimir putin ? >> well, i refer to putin among others. but russia when you look at its history has always needed an external enemy. they are not able to rule their company without an enemy. these were the people from chen chechian chechnya, the poles. this is the philosophy and it has to be changed. and this is not the right time for such philosophy. and we are not able to afford such losses. and rule through enemy. and russia has to change its philosophy of that necessary enemy. >> you remember a time when even in poland there was not a free press. now. vladimir putin is very popular in russia for his action he because sbecause it seems the people f

russia is coming from europe. very, very difficult. not just for us, but for everybody. tough situation in russia.: would that be the one risk that could still hit your 2015 estimates? >> well, we think we've factored that in our guidance. but certainly on a year-over-year basis. it's making our european business more challenging. we're making great progress in western europe, but we have a lot of work to do ahead of us with russia. >> watch out four russia. the sanctions might even intensify. bob shanks. >> russia, venezuela. they're having trouble overseas. you love their trucks. ford will not be showing an ad during the super bowl this year. >> just five automakers, compared to dozens are planning on running ads this year, down from 11 last year alone. jeff flock has more. why? >> i have breaking news. it's now six. we just got word a few moments ago from chrysler. they are in. they had purchased time. we didn't know if they would do it. that brings it to six. which, again, was not as many as last year. chrysler probably had more success with their super bowl ads than anybody in the past few ye

about that specifically today especially because it's a whole escalatory chain of capabilities russia is using fromlittle green men and information in ways the soviet union simply didn't? >> i think as you look at russia today, you have to look at it as russia today, understanding its history as well as what has been stated as their goals for the future. as we work through teter rens with them first and foremost we have to have deep cranial understand g understanding of where they are, their thinking and leadership thinking and where they're trying to go with objectives. as you said in today's world we need to look at it in an integrated fashion. it really requires time, patience and capability in dealing with that. it's very important russia remaines on our radar scope and we work this in a fashion of our capabilities and allies and partners all associated with this. >> what does that look like exactly? a capability with capability match. you mentioned whole government of course. most people polled today would say the initiative remains with mr. putin. how can we deter a very aggressive chess play

is your thinking about that, especially since it is a s claatory chain of capabilities that russia is using from little green men and information in ways that the soviet union simply didn't? >> well i think as you look at russia today, you have to look at it as russia today. understanding its history as well as what has been stated as their goals for the future. and as we work through deterrents with with them, first and foremost we have to have deep cranial understanding of where they are, their thinking, their leadership thinking and where they are trying to go with their objectives. and as you said in today's world, we need to look at it in an integrated fashion. and it really requires time, patience and capability in dealing with that. so it is very important that russia remains on our radar scope in a big way. but as we work this that we work it in an integrative fashion across our whole of government capabilities. but with deep regard to our allies and partners that are also associated with this. >> what does that look like exactly? i mean, is it a capability for capability match? you ment

here we have a blast from the past from the cold war past, when russia used cuba as a base for missilesng. it was just last year vladimir putin was here and signed a new agreement with cuba to cooperate on intelligence gathering capabilities. the very agreement that's brought this ship here today. certainly opponents of the president's new policy we expect will seize on this the fact that cuba is once again home for russian intelligence gathering on the united states brooke. >> we'll watch for the president tonight and how he addresses cuba. patrick, thank you. >>> let's continue on shall we in you're watching cnn. i'm brooke baldwin. top of the hour. we're following this widening web of suspected terror cells all across europe. look at the map and you can see. we're talking about police in belgium, greece germany, france and the netherlands. raiding these terror cells, capturing suspected jihadis. today, 13 properties in total were raided in germany. at the same time in france, four suspected terrorists were in court, now being kept behind bars as investigators are probing their links

from u.s. financial system a tactic they used against russia in response to its actions in the ukraine. a tactic they used evens iran in response to its nuclear program. what you do is take any sort of back door method that a country or its entities in this case the intelligence ministry as well as its defense industry has for getting access to u.s. financial system and that's very punishing because you don't have to be doing business with the u.s. directly to be using the u.s. financial system and as the u.s. is beginning to point its finger at north korea for these cyber attacks administration officials were telling me listen there are still measures we can take to punish the north korean economy and here we have them. >> jim sciutto, this comes just a day after the north signaled that it might be willing to open or extend an arm towards south korea saying it may be top talks if quote the mood is right. what do you make of the timing on this? >> we can expect very strong reaction from north korea in response to this. but the u.s. position is very skeptical of any statements like that

the likelihood of any one of us dying from a terrorist attack or some weapon fired from north korea or russia or iran is very slim. but the odds of us suffering from diseases which i mentioned previously likely, and our loved ones. we need to fight those diseases and we can do it and successfully come up with treatments and cures if we fund the national institutes of health. it's important to be a bipartisan commitment, especially seeing as everyle toar invested results in about $2.2 in economic growth. and i hope that this new american congress will see that and that my republican colleagues will agree with me that we need to put a focus on our individual capital, personal capital of people, their health, and their well-being. i talked to representative marino recently, he's going to join me in founding an n.i.h. caucus. i think there's nothing more important than the past many times when i brought up funding for n.i.h. friends on the other side said we have to pay for it if we put more money in it. our children and grandchildren will be paying for the debt for years to come. that may be tru
