Theres no greater symbol of resilience like the marathon finish line. This man couldnt bear to see it covered. He he treated it with reverence. In another important story tonight, we waited all day for word on a prisoner swap but didnt happen. The kingdom of jordan offered to trade a prisoner for a pilot and japanese hostage held by i. S. I. S. Holly williams is following this. Reporter the fate of japanese journalist kenji goto is now intertwined with another i. S. I. S. Hostage, muath al kasaesbah, a jordanian pilot whose plane crashed in syria during a bombing raid last month. I. S. I. S. Vowed to execute both today unless jordan released sajida alrishawi, a death row prisoner caught after failing to detonate a suicide bomb in 2005. The militants offered to free the japanese reporter in return and to spare the life of their jordanian hostage, though not to release him. In tokyo this morning, kenji gotos mother pleaded for her sons life. And in jordan, a small group of protesters led by the pilots father urged the government to meet the extremists demands. At the last minute just before the deadline set by i. S. I. S. Jordan agreed to free al rishawi, but only in exchange for its captured pilot. So far, there has been no public response from the militants. I. S. I. S. First threatened to execute kenji goto and another japanese hostage Haruna Yukawa a week ago, demanding 200 million in ransom. Tonight, theres still no word on kenji goto and muath al kasaesbah.

Reporter over the past six years, republicans have clashed repeatedly with holder. I realize contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general you dont want to go there, okay . I dont want to go there . No. Reporter . Who they see as a legal rubber stamp for president obamas policies. Alabama senator jeff sessions. You understand that on occasion you have to say no to the person who actually appointed you to the job and who you support . Senator, i do understand that is in fact the role and the responsibility of the attorneyf general. Reporter lynch is a harvard educated u. S. Attorney who grew up in North Carolina shortly after desegregation and was her high schools first black valedictorian. Sitting behind lynch today were dozens of proud sorority sisters. I will always listen to your concerns because theres a greats collective wisdom here. Reporter republicans liked that but did not like her take on the president s recent executive action granting legal status to some undocumented workers. Louisianas david vitter. I have a huge concern regarding what i think is the president s illegal, unconstitutional executive amnesty, and i have a huge concern of the fact that you think it is within the law. Reporter still, lynchs confirmation does not appear to be in doubt. Both sides praised her reputation and qualifications today, but it could take a while, scott. The Judiciary Committee may not vote till late february and the full senate needs to vote as well. Pelley thank you, nancy. Sometimes justice moves slowly and today a group of former students from Friendship Junior College in South Carolina were cleared of convictions that dated back more than half a century back to when they challenged racial segregation. Michelle miller now with heroes of the civil rights movement. The defendant convictions for tresspassing in january 1961 are vacated, null, void and set aside. applause reporter it took less than 30 minutes for Circuit Court judge john hayes to correct aourt 54 year injustice. applause the last time the surviving members of the friendship nine now all in their 70s, were in a courtroom together was in 1961. After a taking a seat at this segregated mccrorys store lunch counter. Willie mccloud was one of them. When they drug us out of when here, they carried us through the rear to the jailhouse in the cel back and put us in those cells. That was an awakening for us for me, anyway. Reporter the sitting campaign which began in greensboro, North Carolina, a year before had spread across country. Civil rights organizations were running low on bail money. So Clarence Graham and the rest of the College Friends chose jail. So jail no bail, what did that mean . It meant that we were going to purposely allow ourselves to be arrested and not pay the fine. Reporter they were sentenced to 30 days of hard labor on aa chain gang. Dub massey called it a badge of honor. B ma we knew that eventually all of this would come to fruition and we would have to be exonerated. Reporter you knew that . I knew that. Good morning. Reporter apologies are already coming into the men. Graham shared a meeting he hady just yesterday with a local white woman. St y she hugged me. We talked for a half hour. She said, im so sorry. Reporter what is the lesson here . Perseverance. Dont allow anybody to stop you from doing the right thing. Reporter scott, the lawyer who represented these men backhing. In 1961, he was inside the court today, standing right by their side, and the judge who cleared them this morning, he is the nephew of the judge who originally sente originally sentenced them. Dr. King said the arc of the moral universe is long but bends towards justice. Michelle miller reporting for us tonight, thanks. Some notes on the economy today. The Federal Reserve says it wont raise Interest Rates because inflation is still below 2 . The government also told us that 20 of American Kids depend on food stamps. Thats 60 million. On before the great recession, it was 9 million. And with sales at mcdonalds slipping, don thompson is stepping down as c. E. O. To be replaced by a Senior Executive Vice President steve easterbrooke. Russias economy is sinking, and today, the u. S. And europe said it could face even more tougher economic sanction for whipping up new violence in ukraine. Heres elizabeth palmer. Reporter the on again off again war in Eastern Ukraine is on again. And ukrainian soldiers are bracing for another major assault by prorussian rebels after they were forced to retreat from donetsk airport last week. The war of words is on again too. On monday, russias president , Vladimir Putin, described ukraines army as a foreign legion implying n. A. T. O. Soldiers had joined its ranks. Nonsense, said n. A. T. O. In fact, its russia that sent soldiers to fight with the rebels. 9,000 of them, according to the ukrainian government. Along with weapons including tanks and antiaircraft systems so good the Ukrainian Air force hasnt been able to fly over the war zone for months. Heres the front line with the prorussian rebels now intr control of ukraines industrial heartland. Analysts believe they also want the port of mariupol to consolidate what theyre already calling their republic. Last saturday morning missiles rained down on a suburb of mariupol killing 30 civilians, many elderly people out peo shopping. That morning, prorussian rebels had announced their assault on mariupol had begun, then abruptly denied it as casualty figures started to climb and blamed the Ukrainian Army instead. What happens next, scott depends on president Vladimir Putin whos already hurting from sanctions and the drop in oil prices. He may decide that escalating this vicious little war is going to hurt him or, on the other hand, he may think its going to give him valuable leverage against the u. S. , n. A. T. O. And europe.

From Phillips Pelley the Insurance Industry tested more than three dozen vehicles to see if new safety features are preventing deaths. Chip reid has the results. Reporter for years, crash tests have shown steady improvement in vehicle safety. Now, a new report confirms those findings. Adrian lund is president of the Insurance Institute for highway safety. Weve seen a lot of stories about recalls and people may be o nervous about the vehicles, but the fact is vehicles are as safe as ever. Reporter according to the report the chances of dying in a crash in a late model vehicle in 2011 fell by 41 compared to late model vehicles in 2008. Eight years ago, no vehicle model had zero driver deaths but nine different 2011 models have not had a single drivergl fatality. Six of those nine are suvs. Thats a real turnaround from a decade ago when suvs werent the safest vehicles on the road because they had a tendency to roll over. Reporter the big life saver for suv drivers is electronic stability control, which applies the brakes if it senses the vehicle is starting to spin out of control. He says other crucial safety changes that saved lives is increased use of seat belts, air bags and stronger structural designs. For some cars, though, the report contains some bad news. The highest driver death rates are for the kia rio, the nissan versa sedan and the hyundai accent. Reporter the smallest vehicles are the ones with the highest death rates. We reached out to kia, nissan and hyundai to give a chance for response but so far have not gotten any comment. Pelley chip, thanks very much.
