They started unloading ships at 8 00 a. M. Local here in los angeles. Over on the long beach side as well. I have to say since weve been on the water since 6 00 a. M. We have yet to see a new ship come in or leave, and if are you flying into los angeles, well roll the video. Youll see something very similar to this. It looks still like an armada out there. In the morning midwest it looks reminiscent somewhat of dday. If you lined up all the ships waiting off shore, it would stretch 579 miles. At least the trucks are moving again. It could take until april until all the union locals vote on this tentative deal. Also, all the employer members of the Pacific Maritime association have to approve it. Its a deal which replace the lone arbitrator with an arbitration panel. It raises wages, which the pma say now average 50 an hour. Plus it raises the pension and it continues to provide Health Care Completely free to dockworkers. I have all the confidence in the world that when the rankandfile take a look at this, they will see that this is a good package for them and that they should move forward. Well now unions on both coasts have deals, assuming this one is approved which gives some stability through at least 2018, but the damage permanently has been done for some. Up in portland its largest customer, no longer called at the port of portland. Where theyll go . We dont know. Maybe to canada. Mandy and brian, Canada Railway is number one railway is threatening a lockout of some workers if theres not a deal. That, too, could impact the ports. Back to you. All right. Jane wells on the water up in west coast. Thank you very much. Did you know because i did not that in a life far, far away he was the Court Reporter for several different publications. It is true. He is a great resource for says. Alan, is this really a done deal . Not really. Remember this is a negotiating committee that went and brought out this agreement. They got to go back and sell it to the 14,000 members of the union. Its a good deal. This is not like one factory or group of factories. Theyre all along this coast. You have geographic differences. The gee in the northwest might not deal with everything that the guys in Southern California are doing. Some of the ports, theres 29 ports. Some are teeny tiny. They have 15 guys running the dock. Others, like the huge mega complexes weve been talking about, you know long beach, los angeles, seattle, tacoma oakland. Theyre doing the huge container traffic. Ob . They might have different issues in overtime and in pay. How much pull with this Group Negotiating have for the dockworkers of the east coast, for example . Different union for the east coast. Their contract starts coming up due 2017. Much different, but the same thing. Geographic differences determine, you know, if you are working on a gulf coast port maybe you dont mind overtime like you might mind overtime up this way in the snow and ice. Morgan brennan has the latest on that and also what role automation is playing in all of this . Jackie deangeles is looking at whether consumers, i. E. You, should be worrying. Morgan, youre first. Tell us more. Just to recap, the largest oil strike since 1908 has expanded to four more shell facilities, including the motiba port arthur refinery in texas. Thats the biggest refinery in the country. Overall, theres now 15 plants affected by the united steelworkers strike, including 12 refineries that represent onefifth of u. S. Capacity. That said only one has actually been taken off line due to the strike. Thats a tesoro refinery in california thats already undergoing maintenance. All of the others at least so far, are operating near normal levels and thats really thanks to automation. Refiners have been adopting new tech to make the process less dependent on people. Its enabling companies to bring in nonunion skeleton skafs. Tesoro says its other facilities can run asis for a very long time and bp is training additional replacement. Analysts say output has been little affected by the strike itself. Other factors have pushed gas Prices Higher including scheduled maintenance, but that maintenance is a worry because even though refineries can stay running thanks to automation firing machines back up is a much more labor intensive process, and right now there is equipment that is down at motivas port arthur refinery so if this strike is still underway when that is supposed to come back online we could see supply affected. What about the investors . Are they concerned at this stage . Meantime investors dont seem too concerned. If you take a look at the u. S. List of refineries theyre hitting alltime highs today, including maritime and tesoro which are two companies affected by the strikes. Lets get out to the nymex and jackie deangeles, tell us what it means for us the consumer, in all of this . Sadly, i dont have good news for you. Its interesting because crude oil is trading under 50 today at these retail gas prices continue to creep up and people are really wondering why that happens. Its because we usual will you see these moving tan dem together. If crude goes lower, we see retail gas go lower. A 15 drop in crude cia 1. 11 at the pump over the course of the last year but the reason that were seeing a little bit of a divergence here, a decoupling if you will is because of a few factors. As morgan mentioned, this is the time that refinies go into maintenance mode, and they also start to switch over from that more expensive sorry the cheaper winter blend to the more expensive summer blend. Thats happening. At the same time many people are waiting for the National Average to go under 2 a gallon. A lot of places in the country are seeing their prices under 2 creeping slowly back up. Right now we could see those prices by the summer closer to 3. Thats the bad news. Back to you. All right. Jackie, thanks much. See you at the close. All right, folks. Heres some breaking news. In winter it gets cold but not often this cold in this many parts of the country. The weather channels tom nizzle has the latest on the frigid conditions nearly everywhere. Cold air in store for the eastern half of the nation as we go lou the week here. Take a look. This cold air is coming out of central canada. This is a pattern thats been tough to break for a good part of this entire month of february. As we go through the thursday and friday time frame, it settles across most of the eastern twothirds of the nation. If we take a look at the weather on a daily basis, tomorrow, daytime highs only 18 degrees in boston. 40 degrees in dallas. Much colder than what we normally see this time of year. On wednesday only an 18 degree high in chicago, and 38 in atlanta. As we go into thursday, that cold air really begins to drive southward. A high of only 13 degrees in chicago. If we take a look at boston running through the end of the month temperatures very cold for this time of the year. Daytime highs typically around 40 degrees. If we go through these temperatures the rest of the month, we likely are going to have one of the three coldest februarys on record for this year. Thats it. Well send it back to you. Tom nizzle more bad news. Meantime more attacks in ukraine undermining whatever was left of last weeks ceasefire, that many considered never realistic anyway. Dom chew the market flash on the russian market. Russian stocks are trading here in the u. S. To the down side. Theyre taking a hit. Thats on the heels of a Credit Ratings agencies moodys downgrading the countrys debt. That was friday after the bell. Shares of yandex and kiwi a lot of these other ones and then check out whats happening with the market vektors, russia etf. The ticker rsx. Its taking a hit as well. Its up 19 yeartodate from depressed levels last year. Its a strong start, but still down 32 over the last 12 months. Brian, back to you. All right. Thank you very much. Lets talk more about this if we can. Bring in colonel jack jacobs. Colonel jacobs right here. The ceasefire that was not a ceasefire, sir. What exactly does putin want . When does he stop . What is the end for this . Oh, he doesnt stop. He has an objective, and the objective is to take control of all of ukraine along the border all the way down to crimea where all the russians are. He already has got it. If thats happening, and it is starting to look like it will happen, he will have total control over that area along the black sea, which will make ukraine a landlock. That was my point. If he does this sounds like what he is trying to do is make sure he has the ports. Oh yeah. Which would then suggest strategic goal of just maintaining the black sea. Well there are two things about that. The first is he wants control of the russian speakers in the area. Doesnt want them to be under the leadership of ukraine. And number two, more importantly, it gives him more its the only place he is going to have a warm water port in the black sea, and that will deny it to everybody else. Near that region. Right. So its interesting because now at least we may know theres some sort of strategic goal. Is in a political or economic means to stop this . Sfwroo yes, but i dont think were willing to do it. Outside of military action. Were not going to get involved in military action there in any case. We dont have any support machining the europeans. We dont even have support among the europeans for economic means to really squeeze putin. That includes why not . Colonel, they have more to lose. Many would say especially with the natural gas pipeline flow that keeps their homes warm in the winter than we do. Yeah but they dont want to break any connection. They dont want to be on our side. Break any connection economic connection in particular with russia. They got the natural gas coming from there. There are lots of economic ties between western europe on the one hand and russia on the other. You heard angela merkel. She was not particularly interested when we said hey, we really want to squeeze these guys, and the thing that we can really use and that is cutting russia off is they dont even want to hear about it. They want to maintain their economic relationship. Are they willing to say that europe might be willing to sacrifice parts of the ukraine to save i think theyve already done so. I think theyve thrown in the toil already. Were want going to do anything to irritate western europe either quite frankly. S. Pleasure to see you. Mandy. Lets go over to sue herrera for a news alert. Sue. Were watching this still developing story, mandy. U. S. Jury in Manhattan Federal Court has found the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority liable in a civil lawsuit, and that lawsuit was filed over attacks in israel that occurred about a decade ago. It was a 1 billion lawsuit under the antiterrorism act. The damages can be tripled, and they have awarded the jury has award the palestinian the plaintiffs if you will more than 218 million. Again, because this was filed under the u. S. Antiterrorism act, those damages can be tripled. Now, its interesting because the palestinians are watching this very closely because they want to appeal to the hague to take israel to court over what theyre calling war crimes. This verdict is being very closely watched by both israel and the Palestinian Authority. Once again, the jury has awarded the victims of the attacks more than 218 million, but under the u. S. Antiterrorism act, those damages can be tripled. The jury found the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority liable. This is a civil lawsuit for those attacks that occurred about ten years ago in israel. So now lets get more breaking news, and were going to go down to washington. Eamon javers is live for us there. I want to highlight for you a Little Exchange here. A Testy Exchange that happened a while ago here in washington d. C. This is Admiral Mike Rogers the head of the nsa. He was at the Ronald Reagan building here in washington giving remarks. They opened it up for a q and a, and alex stamos the chief Security Exchange officer for yahoo skood whether yahoo and the other companies should build in back doors for any government that asks them including the russians and the chinese. Heres a snip et of that exchange. Take a listen. My name is alex stamos. It sounds like you agree with the director that we should be building defects into the encryption in our products so that the u. S. Government can decrypt. That would be your characterization. I think i think i think bruce snyder and ed felton and all of the best public cryptographers in the world would agree that you cant build back doors. Its like drilling a hole in a windshield. I have a lot of world class cryptographers in the this goes back to whether or not the u. S. Companies should be required to allow access to the fbi and intelligence agencies like the nsa into their products. A lot of the Tech Community in Silicon Valley is resisting that idea altogether and this exchange really highlights some of the animosity and tension that weve seen between Silicon Valley and the u. S. Government going back last week when president obama was out in Silicon Valley. A couple of prominent Tech Company Ceos did not participate in the Cyber Security summit. That raised eyebrows. This exchange today will raise a few eyebrows as well. Im told that alex stamos is a well respected figure in Silicon Valley and that his views are sort of reflective of a broader sense within Silicon Valley that the nsa and u. S. Intelligence are simply asking too much of u. S. Intelligence u. S. Tech companies. Guys. Its a lot of raised eyebrows. Thank you very much for the latest on that.

Over to dominik for a quick market flash. Sharsz of Tech Services and Solutions CompanyComputer Sciences at their highest level since december of 2000. Thats on the heels of a deal record story that the company is in talks to possibly sell itself to private equity or strategic buyers citing sources. It has to do with a strategic buyer for the parts of the business that arent related to government contracts. You may recall last fall blvl did a story saying the company had contact in possible private equity buyers. Brooen, back to you. Thank you very much. Meantime greeces first test comes later on today. It must submit a list of proposed reforms to its lenders to see if they passed muster. This, the first of many many steps that they have to take before they can get 10 billion worth of bailout money. Our chief International Correspondent is joining us now with the very latest. What is on that list . What may top that list, michelle . We dont know because they havent submitted it yet. And it comes later today . Supposedly. They may be missing the very first deadline here. Already it is about its nighttime in europe. Its 8 15 in athens. Its getting down to crunch time. I just received an email from the minister of state saying they are going to accepted the list soon. A Government Spokesperson says it wont be until tomorrow. Its quite possible theyre having discussions behind the scenes to make sure what they submit will be approved. Now, in the meantime over the weekend the new Prime Minister alexis tried to put a positive spin on what was nearly complete capitulation. They still had tough negotiations ahead, but greece emerged with its dignity intact. It must be a huge comedown for him because he has been campaigning for years on the notion that if he came to power, he would get the country a better deal. Heres what he said in september. If you become the next Prime Minister of greece whats your first step . My first step would be to renegotiate hard the Loan Agreement and to try to find a common viable solution because this program, the troyka program wasnt work. Not just for greece people but for all european people. Sdroo why did he have to back down . Be
