Petro poroshenko, the new ukrainian president , also spoke with the russian president. It was their first meeting since russia annexed the crimean peninsula. Chip reid is in our Washington Bureau with more. Reporter good morning. During the dday ceremonies in normandy, it appeared that first that obama and putin were going out of their way to avoid even looking at each other. But after a ceremonial lunch, president obama initiated a conversation. It was brief and informal but the white house called it a positive development. In france to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the dday invasion, president obama and russian president putin met informally friday for about 15 minutes. It was their first meeting since the violent conflict in Eastern Ukraine began. A senior white house official said president obama told putin that deescalating tensions depends upon russia ceasing support for separatists in Eastern Ukraine and stopping the provision of arms and materiel across the border. The president said this friday about his relationship with the russian leader. We generally have a businesslike relationship and are very candid and blunt with each other. There are areas where there has been great cooperation between the United States and russia. But on this particular issue of ukraine, we have a deep difference. Reporter putin also met with ukraines president elect petro poroshenko, a billionaire businessman whos accused putin of fomenting the violence by supporting the prorussian insurge ens. After the meeting putin said he agreed with poroshenkos call for an immediate ceasefire. But he also denied any responsibility for the fighting claiming that the two sides during the negotiations should not be russia and ukraine because russia is not a participant in this conflict a position that u. S. Officials say is completely at odds with the facts. I think there is a great deal of hard evidence that russia is involved, deeply involved with the separatists. We have long seen credible reports of russian soldiers operating without insignia in ukraine. Reporter white house officials said president obama was more optimistic about ukraine than he had been before the meeting, but they also downplayed expectations noting that putins words are often inconsistent with his actions.

Employers added 217,000 jobs last month holding the Unemployment Rate steady at 6. 3 . It was the First Time Since 1999 that weve added at least 200,000 jobs for four straight months. So why arent economists celebrating . Joe doe is an economics analyst for thestreet. Com. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me. So were back to where we were in 2008 which means weve socially had six lost years. Right . Right. Were back to all the jobs we lost in the great recession. But economists arent cheering and most of Middle America probably isnt either. Wages went up by about 2. 1 year over year from last may. But economists are saying the kind of wage growth that we want to see, that this would be a robust economic recovery or recovery at least in the jobs the jobs market is about 3 to 4 . So sure 200,000 jobs for the past four months looks great, First Time Since the clinton administration, but hey, right now people across america pretty much between the coasts are asking why havent i gotten a raise . Why am i not seeing bonuses . Were six years into this recovery. Its also fascinating because was bench mark was from six years ago, and yeltt weve had had other factors change things. Which sectors seem to have done the best . Overall if you look at the grand scheme it is the private services sector. We have seen the biggest growth there which is a positive but where we didnt see really good growth in may and this is something thats recurring is in manufacturing and construction jobs. So construction jobs when you look and you compare to when we started adding jobs in october of 2010 construction came in, it was about the 26th best month weve seen in the recovery. Thats in the 41st percentile right . And then if were looking in the manufacturing sectors, the 23rd best which is the 48th percentile. Okay sounds like its decent but again, were expecting in previous generations, weve seen recoveries where oh great, were actually seeing meaningful improvement in our wages, and were seeing far more jobs added that also didnt start at such a low level. I mean 2008 were still feeling those effects. You mentioned wages and how they have barely moved upwards which is obviously important because twothirds of the economy is driven by consumer spending. If they dont have more money, theyre not going to spend. But why are wages essentially stuck, and why have they been stuck for a while . Theres a word the fed likes to use in talking about money velocity. Everybody said were pumping all of this money from the Monetary System into basically the hands of the banks, and were trying to improve money velocity. Were trying to get people to start spending more. The problem is that were not seeing the kind of lending from the banks that we had expected. And a large part of this is people arent going out and spending the money that they have. They still dont feel like they have enough expendable income that right after they pay the bills, right after they pay the rent, okay great, im going to go out and buy another ipod or another television set. And so when people arent spending their money, it suggests that well businesses arent seeing the demand. And so theyre not going to be hiring more people because theyre not seeing the demand from the consumer sector. What about the Labor Force Participation rate that number that tells us whos actively employed, whos fully looking. It was unchanged in may. What does that mean . Unchanged in may, in this situation i think were kind of happy to see that it didnt go lower, right. This could be cyclical. This could also be the situation were facing right now in the United States. There are a number of baby boomers who continue to exit the labor force. And some of them may be a little bit earlier than they had expected to. They have been saying im looking for work. I was talking to a recruiter yesterday who said people sit around for two three years and finally they said im just going to take a job at home depot, but a lot of them arent even doing that. Theyre just saying you know what . Im getting out of this labor force. Its not even worth my time right now. Well theyre good numbers even though were not celebrating. Thank you so much. Today is the 146th running of the Belmont Stakes. The third leg of the horse racings triple crown. Only 11 horses have ever won it. The last was affirmed back in 1978. But California Chrome, the outofnowhere colt is favored at number 12. Later, well take a closer look at how this remarkable horse has done it and his chances today. Were just five days away from the start of the monthslong extravaganza that captive taitates most of our soccercrazy planet called the world cup. Its in brazil. Joshua robinson is a londonbased sports editor. He departs for Rio De Janeiro on monday. Im envious. Today hes here with a tournament preview. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me. This is absolutely how long in the huge in the rest of the world, isnt it . Lots of places in going to grind to a halt especially the beginning of the tournament where youve got 48 games in 15 days. Were talking about the ncaa tournament for two weeks. Its fascinating to watch the headlines including that this is a billiondollar industry for fifa. What are the headlines youre seeing especially in brazil right now . Well, youve got a country thats very divided about hosting this tournament. The Approval Rating for the tournament keeps dropping. Fifa badly overreached, and brazil badly overreached. You only need eight venues to host the world cup, but brazil at this time it won the bid, was doing well. Said look, were a huge country. Were the home of soccer. Were going to build 12 stadiums. What youve got now is up to three that arent fully ready for the tournament. This surprises me because first of all, theres 500 million in prize money for the world cup. But brazil spent Something Like 14 billion. And you know how much brazil we know how much brazil loves soccer. You thought theyd embrace this. The problem is you know theres still major gaps in social programs and things like that in brazil. And especially if brazil goes out early, i think well see a lot of problems of hey, we put up with all of this for seven years for the rest of the world to come party. Well speaking of who goes out early, spain won the world cup in south africa four years ago. What do you think . Is there a possibility there could be a repeat for them . It would be historic. The last country to repeat was brazil in 1962. We havent seen this in half a century. But they are far and away the best Technical Team out there. But they have huge competition from other European Teams, especially germany. Plus weve never had a European Team win a world cup in south america in four times that its happened. Thats really interestin. Lets talk about the usa here. Its never a good sign when youre in a bracket thats called the group of death. Its a little ominous. So it looks like an uphill battle. Were in with germany, portugal and ghana. 2006 and 2010 ghana knocked out the u. S. Now were having to face germany and portugal which has a guy you may have heard of named kris edd christiano ron nall ronaldo. He won the world cup in 1990 but hes pretty americanized. Hes been in the u. S. For over 15 years. He even dropped the umlat from his first name. I was in a restaurant where there were people from all over the world, and everybody was focused on the television. And there was, you know just constant screaming and shouting. Whats the scene were going to expect over the next couple of weeks in europe . In europe the timing of the world cup is perfect for europe because were talking about games at 5 00 at night, 7 00 at night, even 11 00 and midnight. A lot of pubs in england had to request special permission to stay open later past 12 30 so they could show the games, have people partying watching the games and rooting for england. It really is fascinating. I even read google is doing streetview tours. So a lot of people have a chance to see it from a lot of different angles. Thanks so much. We appreciate it.
