[Costello:] Happening now in the NEWSROOM, the first images of Officer Darren Wilson taken hours after the shooting of Michael Brown. Plus new audio from the Ferguson police dispatcher.
[Police Dispatcher:] We're taking a stealing this progress from 9101 West Florissant. Suspect may be in the business at this time. Stand by for further.
[Costello:] Now the entire ordeal lasted less than 90 seconds. New video taken moments after the crash of MH17 in Ukraine. We'll show you. NEWSROOM continues now. And good morning. I'm Carol Costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Foreign stocks and U.S. futures down this morning. Gas and oil prices are also falling. Japan's cabinet office says the country slipped into recession the third quarter. I'm getting really sad, chief business correspondent, Christine
[Christine Romans, Cnn Chief Business Correspondent:] Japanese recession was a big concern this morning. After four straight weeks of U.S. stocks rising, you're going to see pull back most likely today. Remember Carol, the S&P 500 is up more 10 percent so far this year. Three years in a row of double digit returns for stock investors. Right here at record highs last week. I wouldn't be concerned about one day here. The concern is Japan falling into recession. Slowing global growth is something we have to contend with.
[Costello:] You know, what else we have to contend with, maybe no chocolate Santa's this year.
[Romans:] This is a story everyone cares about, a global shortage of chocolate. The world is eating way more chocolate than it's producing.
[Costello:] That's a because you're depressing us.
[Romans:] By year 20 you'll have more eating of chocolate than producing of chocolate. That could produce a shortage. Here are a couple things happening. There's a frosty pod, a fungus attacking plants in Africa. Those farmers are switching to corn so they don't have to contend with it. Also, Chinese demand for chocolate is very, very strong. I mean it seems as middle classes grow, they want to eat chocolate. So you can see we've already seen cocoa prices up 25 percent over the past couple of years. They're down a little bit more recently, but still it shows you that there are these concerns that we're though making enough of it for as much as we're eating.
[Costello:] Chinese are eating more chocolate?
[Romans:] I know.
[Costello:] Oh, something else to be angry with the Chinese about. Christine Romans, thanks so much.
[Romans:] You're welcome.
