( laughter ) >> simon: now, when... when they read you out the joke, were they laughing? >> youssef: the guy was reading it with a straight face, but the guy who was actually writing was laughing, and the lawyers were laughing. >> simon: he records in this 75- year-old art deco theater, built in the same style as radio city music hall in new york. >> youssef: each episode, we have 100,000 requests for 200 seats. 100,000 requests-- can you imagine that? >> simon: no. >> youssef: so, this is a whole new lobby. >> simon: it's a far cry from the chaos of cairo. his set is worthy of any late night talk show. >> youssef: and this is, sir, my desk. he's make... he's keeping my seat warm. thank you. >> simon: now, it does have a certain resemblance to the "daily show with jon stewart," doesn't it? >> youssef: yeah. but we have a bigger theater.

it's the biggest one. >> simon: pierre cox is alma's director. his job is to coordinate the 19 different countries involved in the project. >> cox: when i took my job, people said, "oh, my goodness. that would be like being the secretary general of united nations." >> simon: that's what i would have thought. >> cox: i thought it, also. but then, i thought a little bit about it, and i think, no, it's much easier because all the members have the same goal, which is not true for the united nations. >> simon: but it is a herculean task. everything you see here had to be manufactured in europe, asia and north america, and shipped to the atacama. it was assembled and tested here at alma's base camp at the foot of the mountain, an altitude of 10,000 feet. then, the trip to the top, at eight miles an hour. each one of these $7 million instruments has to make the 17- mile journey on a specially- built transporter-- more crab than carrier-- designed to protect this ultra sensitive cargo from even the slightest bump in the road. you put one of these on a tr

we're joined by simone marine, the deliver of the girl's institute. and she teaches at the university of colorado. and welcome to both of you and ronda, right now, this bossy campaign is getting a lot of attention from conde rice, and beyonce', and while a lot of people are talking about it, does the idea of banning a word over simplify the challenges to leadership that young women face? >> without a doubt. bossy is just one statement and who we are and what we're all about. and bossy, i keep wondering is that a word that we would use with men in and i don't think so. as we look at the attributes to women and doing and saying and the powers that we have, we have to get past the names and who we are as women and the power that thewe have. >> so simone, i think that you and ronda are in agreement on this, and it's more than just a word. what in your view are the things that have the biggest impact on the girl's view of herself and her ability to develop as a leader in. >> i would say the earliest influence on a girl is definitely her family. it has show

let's start with simon mcgregor woods who joins us from brussels. simon, he talks about a peaceful solution. he said all options are on the table. let's be clear: so far, none of this diplomatic flurly of activity has produced any concrete proposals. i think on the issue of seeking a peaceful solution, he said it -- it caught my attention when he also said, if there are further incarryings, we are ready to defend our countryursiy to defend our country. then he made a comparison with russia in terms of military effectiveness and power. they may have the weapons. we have the spirit of liberty. a clear preference for a political way out. he is ready to talk. the russians were not. that was a consistent message as well. of course, he was repeatedly asked: what is he getting from the eu? what does he expect from the eu, given that we understand that the eu later today after the extraordinary heads of state and government meeting will not necessarily deliver on sanctions, which it appears that the american government has just started to do on thursday. he

i am not sure where simon. i thought it was 6- 7 and i understand that, that again we are parsing here but how many millions of people impacted. i would like to so a number and millions whose health care premiums are sky rocketing and businesses who can't afford to pay the health care coverage. i had one of your favorite people a n n coulter who lost health care and she couldn't get it because of obama care. if ann is upset you know it is going to hell in a hand basket. >> we are now told it is fixed. my head is spinning. go ahead, simon. and the politics of this in november. >> and i think from here on out. it is about data and opinion. and we are getting information on this and know how much it cost and people covered. if it working by the fall election. it is a jump ball it will benefit the democrats. and be cautious to make sure they are accurate. >> or overplayed what hand, simon? >> this thing is working better than the republican party is telling people it is. and we could debate this the rest of the day

my guest this week is def jam cofounder russell simons. what were you like as a kid? >> well, they would have gave me ritalin or something. >> really? >> they have given me something to calm me. my nickname is rush. my company is rush. so i was a little scatter brained, a little all over the place. and i think now, you know, that you manifest in all the businesses, all the things that i am doing, but i think medications make it easier to balance those balls. >> did you think that you were going to be successful when you were a kid? >> i don't think so. a lot of my friends died and went to jail over gangs and drugs and things. i survived and was lucky enough to find a situation where i could butt my energy. i didn't think i was going to be successful in this degree, of course not. >> when you look back what do you think were the things that made you success h. luck? >> a lot of luck. no question luck was a big one. finding one success really matters. for some people that success is an ongoing practice. i learned me my first success resilience and hard work and dedicati

but let me show you this, sister simone. it's interesting that congressman ryan is championing the fight. but here is what he said in the past about the poor and raising the minimum wage. listen to this. >> will you support or seek to block increasing the minimum wage? >> it's bad economics, andrew. >> we don't want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people to lives of dependency and complacency. >> teach a man how to fish, he can feed himself for a life. don't simply feed fish. >> i mean, do these kinds of comments inspire confidence, sister simone? >> well, not for me, reverend. but i think what really needs to be pointed out is that our pope francis, paul ryan and i share the same faith. and pope francis said that the role of government is to work for the common good. and common good includes making sure that all workers have livable wages. right now our workers do not. and what we just heard in that clip from paul ryan indicated that he was not in favor of making sure that all workers can live o

simon says evidence shows steenkamp ate no more than two hours before her death, but oscar pistorius says he and his girlfriend had dinner and were in bed a full five hours before that. under intense cross-examination, simon stood firm. >> the pathologist was a very compelling witness for the state. he stuck to his version of events. >> reporter: simon also says the amount of urine in steenkamp's bladder at the time of her death amounted to roughly a teaspoon. that could challenge pistorius who said his girlfriend had gotten up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. remember pistorius says he shot her through the bathroom door, thinking she was an intruder. in another potential blow to the defense, simon testified the scream heard by neighbors could have been steenkamp, saying i think it would be somewhat abnormal if one did not scream when sustains a wound of this nature. but pistorius's defense team contends the scream came from the olympian, not his girlfriend, once he realized his mistake. darren frisco, a pistorius friend, testifying about a traffic stop, a re-enactment

simon mandale joins us here on the set. simon, first of all we talk about the economic effect on russia. what about the vulnerability of americans who have money in our stock market. >> i think the crisis has changed over the past several weeks. two weeks ago this was not an emerging market issue. this was an issue with the potential to spill over into other regions. now with the emergence of obama coming out saying there will be costs for any activity by the russians, it has become more of a geopolitical issue. in that sense it raises the stakes in both energy prices and other risks. we might see energy prices go up. a good chunk of europe's gas supply come from russia. and if that is at risk, they could be cut off. >> when we talk about emerging markets many include russia in places where you can invest and get a very high return. in in the risk of that country suffers, they may pull back from the united states. we're talking about crimea who are holding a referendum for greater autonomy. it's a greater impact. i don't th

>> it's possible, simon. but because walmart has such a diverse product assortment i think it is dangerous for those other retailers baz because they're more likely to pull people in with the value they can create there. >> thanks, jon. now i want to pivot and look at apple this morning. earlier on the program haunted empire, apple after steve jobs, joined us on "squawk on the street," here's what she had to say about the shift in the company from steve jobs to tim cook as ceo. >> i think there's just much more process. everything is logical. if you're talking about -- about the bigger visionary innovation issue, you know, who -- my question is who is the decider at apple now that steve is not around? by can't imagine it being tim. >> the tech giant announcing today it will discontinue the ipad 2 as rumors of production of iphone 6 is under way. iphone 6, jon. what's this going to look like? >> everybody expects a bigger screen out of the iphone 6. questions about the timing of it. you know, i would be sure p

i'm kelly evans here this morning with simon hobbs. and on microsoft strategy shift we begin this hour. software giant may introduce microsoft office to apple ipad. officials have yet to confirm reports out there but jon fortt is with us. maybe he can. jon, what do you think about all of this? >> i think that this is a really exciting potential announcement. we'll have to see the details. it's subject that i raised with with satya nadella before, before he became ceo. he's not as window centric as steve was. the key is how much they make available on the ifripad for fr. they're a bit late to the party. >> for free? >> yeah. you expect to see some available for free and then they're going to try to pull you into office 365 into upgrades to pay. they have to make something available for free for this to be much of an opportunity at all. apple's productivity software is already free on new ipads. >> apple's productivity software there is not excel, it's not

simon, you first, then larry. >> listening to the ridiculous people around vladimir putin, one of the worst dictators we've seen in the modern era and giving their words credence on american television i think is ridiculous. >> we'll get a different -- >> that's okay. i think the president is going -- i think we have a long way to go in this, a five, ten, 15 year effort to contain russia and make sure -- >> i've got to -- >> the problem is not this president but the next president. president hillary clinton, she's inevitable. when she makes a promise, she lays down a threat, no one will listen to her. >> that leads us into a bigger conversation about american leadership and i hope you'll both come back for that. >> only for you, jenna. >> thank you, simon and larry. do you have enough saved up for retirement? big question. a new study shows americans have very little stowed what do you n the right path no matter how close to your last day of work. could be the last day for all of us. >>> tv dinners, sales are cooling. that brings us to our question of the day. what's your favorite tv

simon really no surprise that there's no compromise between kerry and lavrov? >> no, you wouldn't have found many optimists in london going into these talks on friday, but john kerry as he said after they broke up, they lasted six hours, they were frank and candid. both dug in to each other's narratives about good ways of defusing, de-escalating it, but it became very clear getting the russians to cancel sunday's referendum in crimea that he had failed to do that, and that was pretty clear when he gave his press conference. >> after much discussion, the foreign minister made it clear that president putin is not prepared to make any decision regarding ukraine until after the recomme-- referendum on sun. the united states position on that referendum is clear today. we believe the referendum is contrary to the constitution of ukraine, is contrary to international law, is in violation of that law, and we believe it is illegitimate. >> simon while these talks didn't go anywhere today, did you get a chance that there perhaps could be some room for negotiation? >> wel

(man singing in latin) >> (translated): i wanted to give up all the women in the world because i just wanted to be in love with god, and i wanted to follow this path always with the grace of god because to be celibate only with your own strength is impossible. (speaking italian) >> (translated): being ordained by the pope was a great honor for me. it was a powerful emotional experience. when we laid down, the entire assembly prayed for the saints to protect us. catholics believe that through ordination, you are transformed. it's a sacrament that changes your character. >> narrator: five years on and simone is disillusioned, jobless and living alone in an apartment borrowed from a friend: all the result of his decision to leave the church after his experiences of clerical life in rome. >> (translated): ordained in rome and living in a parish in rome, i became disill

simon's reporting was truly excellent there. i mean, to suggest that there aren't russian troops, which is what putin did, when you've got cars and vehicles with russian license plates, i mean, if it wasn't so desperately serious, it would be almost comedic, almost monty python, do they have the insignia or don't they have the insignia. anyway, the ukrainian top politician who is part of the interim government met with secretary of state kerry today and told me that they have made their first contact, their first attempts to contact russian authorities, specifically in the defense ministry and other ministries. but he said that the russians haven't shown any desire or willingness yet to negotiate and try to de-escalate all of this. he also -- i asked him specifically about what president putin basically dismissing these new ukrainian authorities, saying that yanukovych was still the legitimate president and calling the people in kiev, as we discussed yesterday, a bunch of neo-nazis and radicals and terrorists. and this is what h

mostly from my buddy, simon. but, you know, at the end of the day the idea behind this is all game theory. we have a defined period of time and we've got to think about what secular trends don't need a really strong economy. in my view that's what was necessary. so i picked things like solar and chinese internet where there's going to be huge growth no matter what janet yellen does or what the economy does. so far it's been working. >> i'll say, second best trade of the year. >> up like 27%. i think with tan the idea is that these are not terribly expensive stocks, at least not most of them. i couldn't take the risk of just one solar because these things are very volatile when they miss earnings. that's why i picked the basket. i could have been in solar city and made a lot more, but i could have owned one that got killed this year. i think i played it right. >> does someone want to play the role of simon baker talking about groupon down 34%? it was the worst pick by anybody from a performance standpoint thus far

. >> reporter: simon, unbelievable. the fifth time the federal government has shut down, the last time that happened was 2003, where we had five shutdowns. this doesn't happen that often. this is so far now a storm that brings our total up, season total to 30 inches of snow. last year we had three, all right? so, downtown here in the district, reports coming in, anywhere from 6 to 8 inches of snow. notice along the walkway here, just a little bit of melting going on. remember, it was 68 degrees saturday. so there's a lot of radiation absorbed by the ground and it's regradiating back up to melt the snow. the grassy surfaces on the mall, a solid seven inches on the ground. temperatures holding steady at 26. schools have been closed. faulkier, 16 snow days, incredible. a summer season for some countries in terms of the days off. our vacation, that's incredible amount of days off. they have to make those up toward the end of the year. big issues at airports, reagan and dulles, snow removaling back open and operational. but

i think investing is all about timing, simon. if none of the debt's due until 2017 or '18 you have to guess about when people will care in the equity market and by the way between now and 2017 you'll gentlemen rate a lot more free cash flow it's not like the capital market's going to be closed. it's not a guarantee that things will be disrupted majorly in a fewiers. no doubt that debt's a problem. i think ultimately down the road you have to be worried about inflation but i think in the near term that's not a big risk. the fed's told you they are not going to move the front in and that's probably still supported. >> we'll see if they have to move on that. before we let you go. bottom line it for us, what's the best idea? what's the best area of the market to be in? >> look, we have a balanced portfolio. we try to beat the s&p. the top choice is health care, chemicals and growth tech. we really think that's the best balance to outperform the market and it's been working so far, we'll stick with it. >> good to see you. >> be well.

simon, tell me what's going on now. >> well, now the situation is quite tense. everybody is waiting for this ultimatum to run out in a few hours. and then, you know, it is possible that russia will begin a full on assault on these places that have been surrounded by russian troops for a tuesdays. >> the russians have claimed that they didn't issue an ultimatum. do you have any information to support that denial or can you disprove that? >> no, we can't disprove that. and there had been previous ultimatums and nothing happened. so the russian defense ministry said it didn't issue such an ultimatum, but the ukrainian defense forces said that they definitely received it. and journalists did report witnessing that ultimatum being handed to them. so, it's not quite clear who exactly is threatening whom, but the situation, you know, remains such that everyone is waiting for russia to play its hand and attack or not attack. >> what -- people in the area want or thinks, not the military but the people. >> i think ethnic russian community in crimea, which is the majority

morning, josh. >> reporter: morning, simon. yeah, it's like your local bartender might tell you, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. google has been told by state officials that it must move its mystery barge by this friday. the barge right now is stationed on treasure island here in san francisco bay. now, the san francisco bay conservation and development commission, a state regulator, says google does not have the right building permits to stay where it is, so where could the barge be headed? now, we did reach out to google and they offered no comment on the barge's next move. there is speculation that the barge could move to stockton, california. richard sheriffs the port director at the port of stockton tells cnbc that he would, quote, love to have google at the port but he says that google has not contacted him. he said accommodate the barge is humboldt, or west palm, and the company would have to get its paperwork in order. guys, back to you. we'll have more places on where the barge could be headed and a

simon? >> it is inevitable that they're going to err on the side of caution if they're in an environment where they are raying rates. what they say in public is always going to be slightly more dovish because of the nature of the inflection than the core conversation that's being had behind closed doors and i think for many people, you know, she let the cat out of the bag. and it's changed the conversation. it's the inflection point, isn't it, steve, because you're beginning to talk quite specifically about the date that not only tapering is over but that interest rates rise and whether the economy is strong enough for that. >> with all due respect, i think the fed would reject there's a cat or a bag here, that there's some reason for the fed to not be transparent about what it believes to be its -- the path or the average path of the funds rate. i think the fed had been comfortable with this notion that was in the market. it showed up in the average of the cnbc fed survey that there would b

simon? >> but you were explaining to us why manufacturing could go up and down. i mean services can go up and down in a weather-related effect -- >> right. >> -- because construction comes under this index, does it not? and construction employment would have been under pressure throughout february, it stands to reason because of those huge storms. >> i think that's a possibility, simon, the huge storms. also just getting to work. and we've talked about this a lot. the issue is not even so much the severe weather in the northeast. it's severe weather in places like atlanta where apparently -- >> sure. >> -- all due respect to my georgian friends down there, they got a lot of trouble driving when there's a little bit of ice on the road. they don't got the equipment down there to clear the airports and the roads and all that stuff. seasonal adjustments expect weather in the northeast in january. they do not expect severe weather in the south at that time. >> real life. steve, thank you. >> sure

simon hobbs has the run down there. simon? >> scott, the thing to realize about europe was that it opened today. down heavily. over 600 stocks around europe. only 27 of them were green. we have a major rebound coming through from, for example, france was down 0.8%. now up half of 1%. that's a huge move that you're getting on the european markets as they cut the losses. obviously they were inspired by yellen's comments yesterday. and this idea that the interest rate cycle around the world potentially is beginning to turn. what was interesting is that you still haven't had a full recovery on bonds though. bonds sold off on what yellen had to say. the yields went higher. chiefly actually at the core of europe and you can see it here on italy and spain as well. the yield's higher. we are getting a little bit of a retrenchment. talking just about the stocks doing well from high interest rates. and the comment here was the financials while in europe, the big insurers have started moving to the upside. look at these. standard life wh

what does he mean by that, simon? >> well, up until today, actually, these bases have been surrounded by crowds of people who support russia who peek through the gates and try to see what's going on inside of the bases, but there's been some development today which we're actually doing a news story on that will be out on vice news.com later. russian troops have pulled back from a number of bases right now. the theory is that an ose mission, a diplomatic mission to do fact finding investigation about the russian presence here was supposed to arrive, and so the idea is perhaps the russian pulled their soldiers back temporarily right now until the ose observers leave the area. >> we were showing our viewers more video that you shot today of a woman, her child, i'm going to let it play, then we'll discuss.

is that, simon, what you sense as well? >> well, i think, yeah, this is a temporary measure because there are russian activities at ukrainian bases going on today. we just visited one where about a couple of hours ago a group of russian soldiers without any insignia showed up and asked yet another base to surrender to them and they didn't and a russian climbed over the wall and actually rammed the front gate with their truck. so a very tense situation, but then eventually the russians got the order to leave so they left. so they're going around spooking people and just trying to wear the ukrainians down. in fact, we're actually following a column of russian armored personnel carriers right now on the highway between s sevastopol and simferopol. so they're in the area and moving around. >> you've had major problems with locals in terms of your ability to film. i'll play yet another clip from your reporting. >> we've come to have a look at the ukrainian naval ship which is under blockade right now. it's down there. the russia
