in the meantime, scott cohn. >> scott cohn is in watertown live. let's get to scott. >> okay. you will see in a moment, guys, another -- a lot of vehicles. three bus loads of police officers as they continue to try and lock things down here. and a man hunt that now seems to be spreading beyond just this area. and there's also now an alert. even as far as new york city looking for a particular vehicle. just out of abundance of caution, not that they necessarily think it will be in new york city. let me read you this now. they are looking for a gray honda with massachusetts license plates. if you're in this region, gray honda with massachusetts plates. 316esr. and there you see the law enforcement assets continuing to flow into this area as they try to make certain that not only everybody stays in place but that they can literally go door to door and try to find this suspect who is still at large. >> all right. >> you never read into anything, scott. what does that mean? he ditched the suv and has a gray honda with massachusetts plates? so they're in watertown but he may have fl

>> scott cohn, thank you very much. michelle? >> joining us now is david abel of the "boston globe." thank you very much for joining us. all right. apparently he is not good at this point. we're going to get him checked in here in just a second. >> it strikes me that they do seem to be making progress with 60% of the area canvassed. however, if you're one of those residents, it must be an incredibly frightening time right now. you're supposed to shelter in place, as scott just reported. but it may take them some time to get through the rest of that neighborhood. >> yeah. what sue is referring to is we heard a news conference and the police chief outlined that they had made progress of 60 to 70% of the area that they are trying to search at this point. he indicated that some of the individuals in that area who live in the area may not be able to get into their homes until sometime throughout the weekend. they are obviously being extremely diligent and careful. >> and once again, a reminder that there is no train service. amtrack h

for "nightly business report" scott cohn, atlanta. >> have you ever been a victim of identity theft? >> knock wood, i have not, but very fearful of it. >> i was, and happily it was not a bad case and i was able to untangle it quickly, but if a thief gets a hold of your social security number it could take months. >> if not years. absolutely. >> it was 40 years ago today that the very first cell phone -- look at that thing, the cell phone call was made and marty cooper, placed the first call to a friend at bell labs. according to a pew research new, 87% of american adults have a cell phone. the first cell phones cost nearly $4,000, weighed more than two pounds and were the size, if you can recall, of a brick. >> that's it for "the nightly business report" for tonight. i'm sue herera and susie is back here tomorrow. thanks for watching. >> have a great evening, everybody. we'll see you back here tomorrow night. >>> "nightly business report" has been brought to you by -- >> the street.com, interactive multimedia tools for an ever-changing, financial world and our dividend stock adviser

let's start -- >> with a live report from scott cohn in boston. he has the latest on the bombing investigation. good evening, scott. >> good evening. a news briefing originally thought to happen this afternoon and then pushed back to 5:00 p.m. still has not happened yet. it has been a day of mixed signals and frustration. and a lot of interruptions. but in the midst of it, some of the most sophisticated detective work in the world is going on on the crime scene a couple of blocks behind me. first of all, the video. they have it from multiple vantage points, the finish of the boston marathon. and including the camera on the lord and taylor department store, surveillance camera, that is really located right across the street from the second bomb blast. and there are images of a bag on the ground that we're seeing, we don't know if that is the bag that exploded that contained the pressure cooker bomb, but there are promising leads nonetheless. even so, all day long today, investigators, technicians have been collecting physical evidence. there was co

scott cohn is back with us once more with the very latest details. scott? >> reporter: bill, grief gave way to anger and now frustration. a press briefing scheduled for the top of the hour led by the fbi to give us the latest events in boston has now been postponed. the reason it was postponed is because the federal courthouse had to be evacuated because of the bomb scare. the bomb scare is now over. the bomb scare apparently unrelated to any of the events here, the attacks on the boston marathon on monday. people were allowed to go back to their offices, but some damage done in terms of the schedule. so there will be a press briefing a some time later on. we're told there will be an advisory. this coming from the fbi, which is the lead agency. if they say it's postponed, it is postponed. one thing we know for certain based on the last several hours is that everyone is on edge and a lot of that culminated at around 1:00 eastern time when reports came out that a suspect was about to be arrested, that there might be somebody in custody, that there might be mo

>> scott cohn, we'll come back to you. of course, a lot this morning and thanks for the update there. i want to bring it back to the markets. as we said, the markets were higher after the sell-off both in equities and some commodities. >> the managing director with douglas c. lane and associates and castle lark management. guys, good morning to you both. >> let me ask whether or not the easiest thing to do today is reverse the last-minute sell-off where the markets did appear to respond to the attack. >> i think what you had yesterday in the afternoon was a massive sell-off just with news and nobody knew what happened, but i think you also had the start of what may be a correction, but especially on the commodities side where there was a lot of pressure and there was a lot of leverage in that system in terms of buying commodities and buying gold and when you get a lot of selling pressure people need to sell other parts just to cover, so you saw a complete sell-off there that just picked up momentum that day. >> would you e

scott cohn live for us in boston. and we should note that president obama is expected to make comments from the rose garden of the white house on reducing gun violence. that happens at 5:30 p.m. eastern time. we'll bring you those comments as soon as they come. meantime, let's get to the other big market story of the day. that's the selloff we've seen. karen finer man and dan nathan. so let's get straight to it. we had a major selloff. we had tremendous weakness when it comes to energy, technology, financials. steve, what did you make of the action today? >> we stopped really at the 50-day moving average in the s&p cash. but what we did have pressure on is what we've deny talking about. utilities, those staple stocks. if you look a dominion, s.o. southern, mcdonald's. those are names where people are hiding until they know whether or not it's safe to get back in the market place. >> dan? >> you mentioned technology. here's one. apple was down closing a new 52-week low. this is a name that has by f bifurcated from the

scott cohn is in boston with the very latest right now. scott? >> reporter: bill, let me do something a little bit different than what's been going on for the last couple of hours and give you sort of an eyes and ears account of what we've seen, which is a lot less than some of the reports that have been out here, but it is still significant. we have seen quite a bit of activity along boylston street, the final quarter mile or so of the boston marathon, where the tragic events of monday afternoon took place. a lot of technicians, fbi, atf, gathering what appears to be evidence. and we also know from pictures that have been released what some of that evidence is. it includes fragments of the bomb or bombs. we know there were two blasts. we don't know which fragment, obviously, which belongs to which device, but the fragments are important as well. they include shrapnel, which is placed in these pressure cookers to deliberately do harm. small nails, bbs, bail bearings, things like that, pieces of metal. we also have seen, i'll hang on for the truck

>> all right, scott. >> thank you, scott. >> scott cohn there in boston. >>> well, stocks are staging a comeback today after that huge decline yesterday. bob pisani, is this a bounce of some kind or are we going to turn around? >> i think a lot of it has to do with the better economic data we had this morning. i think that helped things a lot. take a look at the s&p. what a turnaround. we had the worst day of the year on the s&p yesterday. today, we're having the third or fourth best. we've recovered half of our losses. look at the sectors, 4 to 1, advancing to declining stocks. and when you have consumer staples doing as well as materials, that's what i mean when you have a broad market advance overall. a lot of those commodity stocks and stocks that got killed yesterday in that turnaround today. copper producers, goal-mining producers, coal producers, nib that's in the production space, all to the upside, although varying degrees of being on the upside. i want to point out, we have held on to our gains, not at our highs, but we have held on to our gains. and we have very good econom

maria, back to you. >> thank you so much, scott cohn. joining me now is retired general, barry mccaffrey. he staugt international security studies at west point. he now heads his own consulting firm and a terrorism analyst for nbc news. general, good to see you. thanks so much for joining us. >> good to be with you, maria. >> what do you make of the fact that no one has claimed responsibility for the boston bombing. and at this point in time, it doesn't seem like we have any leads as to who's behind this? >> well, the administration is being very prudent. we've got to remind ourselves, in atlanta, we falsely accused a security guard and the initial reaction. so i think they're trying to puzzle through it. you would think it indicates a domestic, deranged attacker, at the end of the day, one or more, two devices, of course, is harder than one. these were not sophisticated foreign-made intelligence-provided devices. so, it's unusual that no one stepped forward and claimed credit. if it had been a foreign terrorist, you would have expected

scott cohn. he's in boston with the latest developments. >> reporter: a little over half an hour ago, 2:50 p.m. local time, the nation paused to remember and boston remembered. a moment of silence that actually stretched for about five minutes with observances at various locations around this city, including just outside of copley square where the bomb exploded one week ago. meantime, in a boston hospital bed, dzhokhar tsarnaev faced his initial court appearance before a federal magistrate from his hospital bed, where the judge ruled that he was alert enough to understand those two charges which potentially carry the death penalty. it was exactly one week ago at the conclusion of the boston marathon last week that the twin bombs went off. the bombs that were allegedly placed there by dzhokhar tsarnaev and his older brother. and the complaint describes vividly the surveillance video that shows tsarnaev placing his knapsack on the ground just before the first explosion. a few seconds after -- i'm s

our bill griffeth and scott cohn have, in boston all day. let's get to them rate now and get the very latest on all of this. bill? >> well, you know, we're in the area here, in a staging area. scott is in the area where they have really been doing the active investigation throughout the day. i'll be interested to hear what he has to say. but we have been in an area here, where i said before with rudy giuliani, we have watched this impressive display of law enforcement all day. i mean, this is sort of -- i equated this as a cross between a natural disaster and a war zone with the -- and i've covered g-8 conferences, you know, where world leaders all come together in the same place and trust me, the security that's on display there doesn't even compare with what we're seeing here in the town of watertown, massachusetts. i mean, you are seeing a tremendous coordination between local, state, and federal officials today and it has been very impressive. we are waiting for yet another news briefing at some point to give us some more details, becaus

cohn, and a lot of caution we're seeing here, scott. a lot of -- we've been seeing the authorities move into position for, i think, on the shots for at least an hour, haven't we? >> we don't know what exactly they're doing and the activity ebbs and flows and have been ebbing, you but it is, and the police continue to circle this part of watertown and it seems as though they're on to something, but then they move on. so in a little bit of a disadvantage in terms of seeing the big picture here being on one street corner in watertown, but, but make of it what you will. our k-9 units just going into a neighborhood there. the police helicopter has been spending a great deal of time hovering over this area of watertown, doing reconnaissance and the like, and unit from every police department not region and authorities as well on this massive man hunt. >> scott, thank you again. that is scott cohn who is in watertown and that seems to be where law enforcement officials have focussed this man hunt over the last hour or so. we will continue to c

. >> we want to bring in scott cohn, who is on the ground in water town right now. scott, i know that we are waiting on another press conference from law officials. what are you seeing there? >> ah, well, we're seeing that things are starting to wind down in terms of the intense house to house search, at least from what we can tell from aircraft, helicopters in the air, which seem to be -- seem to be done. some of that might have to do with the weather. and we are waiting for this news conference, where we think we're going to get a timeline of the events of last night and early this morning. we know now that about 10:24 last night, according to police, that that's when they get the call from m.i.t. police, they hear what appears to be shots. then, there's an armed robbery of a 7-11, which is unrelated to all of this. early reporting on that was incorrect. but sometime after that, the brothers apparently bought gas at a shell station in cambridge and then at, about 10:30, m.i.t. campus police officer is found shot and later dies of his wounds. then a couple minutes

our man in the media, scott cohn is on the ground in watertown. have you heard anything about when people will actually be allowed back out of their homes to go about their business? >> well, that's one of the top things on the agenda for this news conference, which we've been waiting to get under way, and i think part of it had to do with the fact that it's been raining here and they just a short time ago brought in a tent to cover the speakers for the news conference. so, hopefully they'll get on with it shortly. they say that the people here, particularly here in watertown, have been very understanding, very patient, even as very heavily armed officers, agents and so on went house to house, searching for the suspect in this. but yes, you know, time wears on and they have been locked in their houses since last night, really, and people coming to the door as early as the wee hours of this morning. so, everybody is waiting for that, for a lot of people, it's just hoping that they can get out. we saw some pe wal around in the city center of waterto

. >>> breaking news from cnbc's own scott cohn. jeff skilling may be getting out of prison early. >>> the aggressive monetary policy in japan. pledging to double its government bond holdings in two years. central bank ending a two-day policy meeting with the statement it will pursue quantitative easing as long as it is needed to achieve its 2% inflation target. nikkei closed at a record high. disappointing economic numbers, tensions in north korea, dow, s&p and nasdaq all had their biggest drop since february 25th. transports at a one-month low. >>> let's do japan first. they are calling this the most radical easing since vimar. that didn't end well. social unrest, you never want to see that. seemed like yesterday, the man in the mirror, bill gross, talked about that? maybe there's no money manager that's going to make money. japan has a structural problem we do not have. they don't have any kids. if the bank of japan could mandate two children per family they would do a lot better than 2% -- whatever, buying back bond. this is why

scott cohn is standing by in boston. we have been trying to keep an eye on what's happening in the markets. pepsico came in with better than expected numbers. revenue also better than expected. and joining us right now is hugh johnston, chief financial officer at pepsico. hugh, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you, becky. good morning. certainly a tough week in the news. >> it is a tough week in the news. we're trying to do our best to watch other things that are coming along as well. our thoughts with everyone in boston and waco. we saw your numbers this morning. they were impressive, hugh. strong numbers pretty much across the board about from every sector. >> yeah, we really did get off to a strong start to the year. if you look at the 12%, solid bead of six cents, we feel good about that. driven by developed markets such as america foods business. grew 15%, led by china. we feel good about that. we feel good about the margin improvement. up 80 basis points. a solid improvement on margins year over y

scott cohn out of boston. thank you very much for that this morning. let's go to head of north america forecasting at ihs. she's actually been looking at some of the details coming out of boston and trying to interpret them for us. good morning. so what do these reports about a pressure cooker and devices themselves suggest to you about what's behind these attacks? >> as we've been saying since yesterday, the indication is that this is probably a lone actor or a small group, homegrown terrorist. we're going to need more information about the device before we can really be sure of course. the pressure cooker is not a particularly sophisticated device. if they find a timer was attached, it would make it slightly more so but something either of these groups could use. >> it does seem to be one of the more unusual things about this attack. >> there are a couple reasons you might see anonymity. they may be letting panic set in. if you are talking about right wing extremist group, they may be choosing to an unanimous because they think it furthers their caus

scott cohn at headquarters. josh lipton has details on that. >> hey, carl. netflix is getting absolutely crushed here today. there is no fundamental reason for this. i will tell you there is speculation out there that carl icahn is selling netflix. however, i just called and spoke with mr. icahn about this. he generally doesn't comment on rumors, but he says this happened several times over the past few months. he's starting to believe that there are people putting out rumors and trading on it. he told me he has not sold one share of netflix since buying it. icahn toll me he believes subscribers will sell more than the street estimates over time. netflix down 5% right now. back to you, carl. >> that's what they call ú value-added in the tv business. >> banks push to make more mortgage loans to people with weak credit. we're not talking about the financial crisis. this is a new report and rick santelli is on that case when we come back. we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. a

so let's get strayed to scott cohn, who is live in boston. what more do we know, scott, on top of what i just said. >> reporter: mandy, this is now a very active and very intense investigation. it's a complicated crime scene 12 blocks long. they're also looking at remote-controlled cameras that were trained on that finish line as ptn th street." and she said that normally that is set up to make the runner feel good. >> it's always felt very secure and felt there's a lot of attendants around, but was it there before the race started, there in the evening? or how did it get to be there? >> gene schmidt is a former u.s. congresswoman from ohio. this is her fifth marathon. she knows about national security and she knows about marathon security. we asked her if the security was bad or the perpetrators were that smart? >> i think the security was outsmarted. that's the unfortunate thing. one of the things i learned in congress is terrorists are willing to take a path that is, um, the path of least resistance. >> the immediate concern here is trying

scott cohn has the latest from that city. scott? >> michelle, we are, indeed, about two hours away from this long-awaited news conference. we've had an official news blackout for two days now. so we should find out what the authorities have been working on the last couple of days. some actual official information about that. potentially, a picture or pictures of the people they want to talk to and what they've learned from all of those video images. and we know that there were cell phone cameras that people have turned in and all the surveillance cameras, like the one in the lord and taylor store, just across the street from the second blast. and also, at least two others that were operated by the boston athletic association at the finish line, and those could be very high-quality images, because those were high-definition cameras. so if they caught something, that could be crucial. also, there are the fragments that they've picked up of the explosive devices, and we know now, according to nbc news sources, that the authorities have

we're joined now by cnbc's scott cohn from london and mark bashir. let's begin with you, scott. as the details come in right now, how are britains reacting? how sudden of a development was this? >> well, mrs. thatcher was 87 years old and had been in poor health for a number of years, richard. nonetheless, this is a chance now to reflect on her legacy. you know, she could be and is was in many ways a device itch figure, considering what she was taking on coming in following the wrenching inflation of the 1970s. she took on the country's labor unions, privatized industries. but former prime minister gordon brown saying this morning that even though who disagreed with her understood the strength of her convictions. and the current prime minister, david cameron, cutting short a trip to europe to come back here reflected this morning on the pivotal role that mrs. thatcher played in this country's history. >> as our first woman prime minister, margaret thatcher succeeded against all the odds. and the real thing about margaret thatcher is that she she didn't just lead our country, she

let's get to scott cohn. he's been in boston since the attacks. what's happening where you are, scott? >> i'm also in watertown, maria, and for much of the day, really for all of the day, we were on mt. auburn avenue, which is where the chase went down overnight. we've moved more for transmission issues than anything else, it's not that the situation has changed appreciably, but i've had a little different vantage point of the same things that bill was talking about. and it took us a while to figure out what was going on. but it seems pretty clear, they were just, as they said, they were going house to house. and it looked like they were sort of going sector to sector to sector. there would be an aerial reconnaissance above, sometimes there were military helicopters accompanying them as well. and then you would see lines of yu uniformed police officers and also s.w.a.t. officers going door to door, with guns, not necessarily drawn to fire, but holding guns very prominently, and dogs and most people were very cooperative. but it'sclear, they are ju

. >> thanks to martin bashir and scott cohn, joining me on the phone now, james baker and former reagan white house chief of staff. mr. baker, thanks very much for being with us, your memories and your connection to margaret thatcher was so immediate and so personal. tell me about the reagan relationship with thatcher. >> well it was the relationship between margaret and ronald reagan was seamless. andrea, there was never as far as i can remember, any differences between them. save perhaps one, when, when president reagan decided to invade grenada and we called margaret to notify her. we called her the night before the operation went down. and grenada was a commonwealth country. and margaret told president reagan. she said you know, ronnie, this is notification, it's not consultation. so she was a little bit disappointed about that. but the fact of the matter is, they saw eye to eye on just about everything else. in fact, i can't think of one other example where there was ever any difference between them. where there was ever any space between them. they were, they spoke for each other

scott cohn has the latest on the investigation. good morning, scott. >> good morning, andrew. we expect there could be criminal charges against dzhokhar tsarnaev today. chillingly after the bombing a week with ago today, he and his brother tamerlan appeared to resume their normal lives. friends say he was at dartmouth, work withing out at the gym, talking about the bombing. and they are still in disbelief. >> it's hard top comprehend someone could go doing normal college kid stuff to bombing a marathon. >> and that about the older brother, tamerlan, 26 years old? he apparently talked to his parents in russia after the bombing and said everything was okay. he he went back to russia last year and was not interviewed afterwards. that has some on capitol hill wondering how did the intelligent agencies miss this? >> the fact that we could not track him as to be fixed. it's people like this that you don't want to let out of your site. this was a mistake. i don't know if our laws are in sufficient or the fbi failed but we're at war with radical islamists and we need to up our game. >

scott cohn, this was welcome surprise to the sector. tell us about. >> yeah, maria, welcome news, and a surprising reversal have the obama administration, which has as recently as february wanting to cut medicare reimbursements by more than 2%. this is aimed at fulfilling a key cost-cutting goal of the health care act. apparently the outcry was too much. after what the administration calls careful consideration of public comments, a 2% cut has become a reimbursement. take a look at how the managed care stocks have performed as a group. they fell after the election, and again in february after those cuts were proposed, today the stocks are back big-time. that index up 3%. reimbursements are going up, but deductibles are going down. premium increases for medicare advantage are limited. and there are also new cost controls in effect as well. plus, of course, health care costs in general are going up. the president of humana said today that the changes, all told, still create what he called meaningful challenges that they are still evaluati

our scott cohn is live once again in boston covering the latest. scott, what's the news today? >> well, carl, we have some new pictures now of fragments of the bombs and the other things that were associated with them. some of these are pretty chilling. as you will see, there are ball bearings, nail, the shrapnel that was used and also fragments of the pressure cooker and that apparently was the delivery device for this -- at least one of the bombs and possibly both of them. these are very important clues, but of course, people are still trying to get more information. the authorities are appealing to the public for video, for information and any ideas about who might have done this and at the same time they're looking at the way that security was handled and has been handled for the boston marathon. tight security and despite what happened, the police commissioner here is defending that security plan. this particular plan was very well thought out and executed and there were more offices assigned to this race than there were ever assigned before and we were particularly concer
