Cologne, germany and along for the ride, a level of anxiety these young women they havent felt before. Our teachers gave us a piece of paper saying we should only be in groups and never go outside alone, especially at night time. Im scared that someone grabs me. Scott it all stems from this. New years eve and one of the worst nights of crime this city has seen in decades. We arrived at the Central Station and it was very full there. Scott how full . How busy was it . Very busy, you couldnt move. Scott a massive crowd had gathered near the central train station, there were fireworks, fights, and the police unable to keep control and then the sex assaults, hundreds of them and rapes. The overwhelming blame, laid upon the large immigrant population, mostly, north africans, in what some believe reflecting an arabic term, taharrush called by some, the rape game, when gangs of men circle a woman, then simultaneously assault her, keeping police at bay like what happened to cbs reporter lara logan in egpyt in 2011 or as seen in this shocking video from another attack in 2013. I only knew of this term from some events in egypt, i never investigated that term in more detail because i never would have believed this type of thing would take place here, even after 40 years on the job. Scott colognes police chief, michael temme. Chief temme it was a shock to every policeman. If you become a policeman, you want to help. At the end of this night, we realized we were not able to help. It affects us as policemen and especially if youre used to living with equality between men and women. Women and girls are more in danger now than they have ever been before, so yes, that is not any reason to panic, but we have to do something. Scott frauke petree, head of party in the region, points to the numbers. Over 800 crimes reported, more than 400 of them sex assaults, 2 rapes. And it wasnt just in germany. Similar incidents were reported in austria, finland, and switzerland. We are here in downtown cologne. A lot of women tell us they no longer feel comfortable walking alone at night. They are going in groups and carrying pepper spray and mace, something that in fact has sold out in a lot of stores, but also on the streets at night are vigilantes, police tell us, groups of men who say they feel the need to patrol the area. In some cases, they have confronted violently members of the immigrant community. I think thats a very natural way to behave. If fathers or husbands want to protect their families, i think thats a natural thing to do. Talking about hundreds of migrants actually raping women because what we experience in germany not only today, not over the last couple of weeks, but we have parallel societies building up that do not take part in german social life, that have their own rules, and dont even want to belong in germany, so we have a clash of cultures. Scott that culture clash is described by an imam at this german mosque. Sami abu yusuf said all involved should be arrested and punished, but also tried to explain why it may be happening. I heard women were wearing tight miniskirts, tight trousers. They were wearing perfume and those people have never seen Something Like that in their countries. They saw it and they thought they can touch them, but if i say these are the reasons, that doesnt mean i accept it or think it is right. Its a crime. Scott while police say theyre stepping up patrols with both uniformed and plain clothes officers and installing more surveillance cameras, governments are also taking steps toward assimilation that some find comically insufficent. Encouraging women to stand their groundshouting no or at Community Swimming pools, posting signs that remind immigrants, its not ok to touch. They grow up differently maybe, but if youre a guest in one country, you should behave. Scott at this organization for womens advocacy, ingard kopetskee says there has been a tsunami of phone calls women asking about selfdefense classes and advice on how to avoid becoming a victim, worried another socalled taharrush will happen again. We hope that people are more aware now and that they take responsibility and, when they go out, when they observed something, that they go and help the women and show solidarity. Scott that fear has translated into louder calls to stop taking sheila i dont think this is proof of what is to come or that everything will just not work out and this is just the starting point for the end of the world basically. Sometimes you look at the newspapers these days and it sounds like that. Scott journalist Sheila Mysorekar believes what happened on new years eve has become a political prop. Sheila as a scarecrow to make people afraid basically of what is to come and i think that is utilizing it in a negative way or a political way and its not something thats happening by chance. Its something i think is also politically orchestrated by the political right. Scott do you feel youre being looked at more closely or scrutinized . Think i would say im sure that was their intention and thats planned. They wanted to do this. We need really to talk and work on this issue. We dont need to abuse this topic in the news and control the public attention and just feed them with the wrong information and give them bad pictures and illusion about refugees. Scott but any optics aside, the fears over more attacks are still very real. I think when time goes by, maybe its getting better, but the situation was how it was. You cant change that. Scott and the time to talk has well passed, critics across europe say like Frances Marion le pen. A rising star on the right and loudest voice in the chorus of shouts demanding new leaders willing to change course in light of the new years eve for now, france hasnt been affected by this phenomenon because we have the state of emergency. They are many called up policemen and soldiers in the country. But this doesnt mean it will not happen massively in france, as we are dealing with the same influx and the same conditions. Scott cologne is in the middle the first night with increased Police Presence there were 22 assaults. The authorities are refusing to discuss the ethnicities of the alleged attackers, saying that they are a crosssection of the public. And still ahead on full measure security is stepped up for the super bowl tonight in san francisco. But well report on one security measure that not only doesnt work, but is being called a billion dollar boondoggle. Bad at the low prices of g scott tonight, san franciscso is the stage for the biggest sports event of the year. The big game will draw tens of thousand of fans for highpriced seats in the stadium and tens of millions of viewers on television. Security is a huge concern. The department of Homeland Security is running that show with personnel on the land, sea, and in the air. One device has drawn some attention. A biomonitor that is supposed to test for any potential but some consider it suspect and say it doesnt work and is a waste of over a billion dollars. We spoke to representative tim murphy, chairman of the house energy, commerce, and oversight committee, about the biowatch terror surveillance warning system. And why we should be concerned. Rep. Murphy well, because of the high profile of the super bowl and concerns about any terrorism attack of any sort, biowatch monitors will be present in that area for detection if anything is released or if theres any risks there. The usefulness of them is questionable, but theyre there. A biowatch monitor is something it as sniffing the air and then it takes some samples, and those samples then go off to a lab. And then those labs then analyze whats in the samples and they make some determinations if they are some pathogens, some biological aspects which can its not a very effective and efficient program. Look, if there is a disease whatever that is, and people can acquire it and get sick and it spreads fast, youre looking at mortality rates in the first 12, 24, 36 hours, which could rapidly ramp up especially if its something easily spread person to person, as well. And therefore, what we would be looking at is basically a Rearview Mirror looking back and telling us what happened. But at that point, an effective pathogen could have spread quite a bit and already be causing a great deal of mortality. Its like buying an old smoke detector. It doesnt work very well. It works pretty slow and were spending a lot of money and i think its one of those things where we give ourselves a false sense of security, especially when we continue to pour money into it. Its been about 1 billion so far and it costs over 80 Million Dollars a year to operate. I dont think theres evidence that were safer after spending 1 billion. I dont think wed be safer if we spent one dollar on this. Critical of the program and basically saying that it was not working and it should be scrapped in terms of further approach to it and that people should sit down and review this. Look, we need Something Like this. There is no question. We have got to have monitors for this. I think its only a matter of time when people who want to do us harm, will increase the level of sophistication. We know theyre trying to do this and, sooner or later, somethings going to break through, either from a Foreign Agent coming to this country or someone domestically trying to cause harm. Scott congressman murphy and the House Oversight committee have planned a hearing this week on the biowatch monitors. The department of Homeland Security will be there to address continuing the program and expenditures. We asked dhs to comment for this story and did not receive a response. Still to come on full measure its hard not to be happy about low gas prices. Theyre the lowest since 2009. But theres a price to pay for scott gas prices in the u. S. Are averaging 1. 80 a gallon. Thats more than a dollar less from the peak last year. In Many American households, cheaper gas goes a long way towards balancing the family budget. But for hundreds of thousands of families tied to the industry, theyre paying a high price for lowcost oil. Im taking advantage of it as i can. Im paying 2. 13 i saw cant beat that the gauges at the gas pump are spinning lower and lower. Under 2 a gallon in most states. It saves me a lot of money. I get to drive my truck again. Scott the jawdropping cheap prices even became a major bragging point in president obamas recent state of the president obama gas under two bucks a gallon aint bad either. Kevin book two bucks a gallon aint bad if youre buying gasoline, but two bucks a gallon is terrible news if the well you worked on was engineered to break even at 3 a gallon. Scott kevin book is the managing director of Clearview Energy partners, a washington, dcbased Research Firm providing energy facts to investors. Book says that while most americans wallets may feel fatter, the oil industry is getting clobbered and nearly 100,000 u. S. Workers have been laid off as a result. Like Mike Williamson of amarillo, texas, who started out roughnecking, one of the toughest jobs on an oil rig, then working his way up and, in 2011, he launched his own well testing company. Mike everything was prosperous, everything was going well for me, business was good. Scott business was good until it wasnt. Mike in december of 2014 pretty down. Didnt really think it was going to hit as hard as it did, but when it did, the price fell out of the bottom. It pretty much it crippled me. Scott williamson says he lost, in order, his paycheck, his truck, his camper, and, just recently, his house. Only a few years ago in texas, the future was so bright, the flares from the oil rigs were visible from outer space. Some 200 drilling rigs formed an orange beacon in the Eagle Ford Shale area of south texas. Motivated by high prices and armed with new drilling technologies, producers struck black gold in the shale fields, pumping out record barrels of crude around the clock. All those rigs required workers and the industry went on a hiring spree. Mike i can remember the first time i made 50,000, i thought that was amazing. The first time i made 200,000 a year, i thought i was donald trump. Accounted for nearly half of all jobs created nationwide between 2009 and 2011. Kevin the story of u. S. Producers for the last four decades has been one of unmitigated production enthusiasm. Very enthusiastically, producers borrowed and invested and continued to grow their production in the u. S. , and there was a market for that oil. Until there wasnt. Scott all that texas tea flooded the market. And the basic laws of supply and demand kicked in. Too much oil brought the prices crashing down. So while drivers celebrate cheap gas, williams is one of 72,000 texans who are out of work as the rigs have disappred. And belt tightening is underway at Bluechip Energy Companies Like exxon mobil, which reported a 58 drop in Fourth Quarter earnings. Chevron recently reported its first quarterly losses in 13 years and bp says it will slash 7,000 jobs by the end of 2017. Michelle patron you havoil had their revenues reduced and that can breed instability. They are now going to have to curtail spending. Scott until last year, Michelle Patron was president obamas special assistant for energy and climate, where she had a front row seat to the geopolitical ramifications of fluctuating oil prices. Michelle if you think back to the 1980s, the last period of low Prolonged Oil prices, you think back to some significant global events, including low oil prices contributing to the fall of the soviet union. Scott this oil bust is rattling stock markets around the world. U. S. Stocks produced their weakest start in january since 2009. Patron says that cheap oil could also impact the Banking Sector and that too is contributing to a jittery stock market. Michelle particularly the active in u. S. Shale and borrowed heavily to finance their production, prices have dropped, revenue has dropped, and they could default on their loans. If that happens, banks could be left with billions of dollars of bad loans, the bond holders could lose their investment, and this increases the risks associated with investing in markets at a time when theres already heightened concern about china. Scott along the Eagle Ford Shale where the glow was once bright, there are only 64 rigs sending out their flares. The skyline of south texas has darkened. Mike just because youre paying 1. 34 at the pump, you know, when youre doing that in life is great, theres somebody on the other side of it thats on a complete different spectrum. Theyre hurting. Theyre fighting for their lives. Scott betting on how long this slump will last is like getting into a game of texas hold em. Its high stakes poker, but some rebound by the end of 2016. Ahead on full measure the candidates have passed go with iowa. And now its on to New Hampshire and a few new attacks. Scott with the first in the nation caucuses beghind them, the 2016 president ial candidates have set their sights on the first in the nation primary. Tuesday, voters in New Hampshire cast their ballots. While some candidates are hoping to capitalize of the momentum win in the Granite State to stay in the race. Heres your quick dose of president ial politics in this Weeks Campaign incredible. I am not making promises that i cant keep. On the heels of a razorthin victory in iowa, Hillary Clinton is casting herself as the underdog in New Hampshire. And enough is enough. If you have something to say, say it. Instead of arguing about definitions, lets talk about. You began it yesterday with your comments. Lets talk about what we should do. The media is not going to pick the republican nominee or the next president of the united states. A dig aimed at donald trump, who accused cruz via twitter of fraud and stealing the iowa caucuses. Trump wants either a new election or to have the results nullified. If i dont win, ive wasted a lot of time and a lot of money. Here in New Hampshire you all elect president s. I hope you elect me. My candidacy gives us the best chance to nominate a real party. I listened to marcos speech last night and you would have thought he had won. Saying it doesnt make it so. Frankly, im prejudiced. I want trump to win the republican nomination. I have to tell you that i am suspending this president ial bid. Meanwhile, the gop field of candidates continues to narrow. Were very, very proud of the campaign we ran. We just didnt measure up. I will continue to fight on for liberty. Its time to officially suspend the campaign, but not because of the votes. Its because of illness. Obviously, the voters are sick of me and i need to acknowledge that. [laughter] scott following the New Hampshire primary, the candidates will turn their attention to the South Carolina for the palmetto states primary. Now, looking ahead to next sunday on full measure we head to paris. Its known as the city of lights, but did the terror attacks nearly three months ago dim the lifestyle that defines the french . Well visit the sites attacked are they like americans after 9 11, who find that life has changed at a fundamental level . And are the concerns about another terror attack the new normal . Is that a constant worry, that there could be another attack . Yes, it is. At the moment, we cannot have any proof that the problem is solved and i think its not solved, anyway. So it might happen again, it migh happen again in france, but in other countries, too in europe or even in the u. S. Scott that is next week on full measure. Now to take a look at some viewer comments on earlier shows. Several of you took to social media to discuss our report on the 2012 attack on u. S. Diplomatic compound in benghazi, libya. worthyjoe tweeted the soldiers have no reason to lie. Only the politicians do. And many of you were talking about last weeks report on the Affordable Care act. Rob felt the report was onesided, writing would have liked to see the proaca folks given equal time for rebuttal. Here on full measure even when its holding ourselves accountable. So we have to confess to a map mistake and a graphic that moved kansas just a bit north of reality. We do know where kansas is. Its where were being seen on ksas, fox kansas. Thank you for watching. Im scott thuman. Sharyl attkisson will be back next sunday. Our lead story today was from cologne, germanys oldest city, so we leave you with a look from nc from the nations capitol, eye on washington with marilee joyce. A weekly discussion about the federal issues most important to nevada. And now, from washington, d. C. ,
