JARRETT: Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault trial gets under way in just a matter of hours. A hearing is set for this morning in New York with jury selection scheduled to begin tomorrow. The one time Hollywood mogul is charged with raping a woman in a New York hotel room in 2013. Another woman has accused him of forcibly performing oral sex on her in 2006. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty and vows he will be fully exonerated. He's not currently expected to take the stand.</s>ROMANS: All right, just about at the top of the hour this Monday morning. Let's get a check on CNN Business. Take a look at oil prices, they are higher around the world. Global markets showing signs of unease and nervousness and on Wall Street you've got futures pointing to a lower open to the start of the week. Stocks close down on Friday. The DOW down 235 points, S7P 500 and the NASDAQ also fell. It was the worst day in a month for all of the major averages. Obviously this is the turmoil in the Middle East, this concerns about what will be the reaction from Tehran. Drug prices are rising again in 2020, weeks after the president's -- the Trump administration advanced efforts to curb rising costs. According to the website Rx, manufacturers jack up the list price of 457 brand name drugs by an average of 5.1 percent as of Friday. Rising drug prices is one of the biggest health care concerns for Americans. Lawmakers on both sides have looked to address this problem though little has actually yet been accomplished. Another potential hurdle in getting Boeing 737 Max back in the air. Boeing confirms two sections of wiring controlling the tail of the plane are too close together and could cause a short circuit, this could trigger a crash, a catastrophic crash. Boeing says its highest priority is ensuring the 737 Max meets all safety and regulatory requirements before it returns to service. That's a new challenge for Boeing's new chief David Calhoun, he officially takes over the job on January 13th.</s>JARRETT: Early Start continues right now. END
