Woodruff the deep freeze of 2015 tightened its grip today across much of the eastern u. S. In the process, it left a legacy, inscribed in ice, across rivers and record books alike. Woodruff morning commuters in washington faced a bone chilling walk to work. Its freezing its like freezingfreezing. Have you ever seen it this cold in d. C. . No, never. I was born and raised here. Ive never ever seen it this cold. Woodruff no one else had, either. The official low in the Nations Capital dropped to six degrees, breaking a record set in 1896 and even icing over the tidal basin around the jefferson memorial. The story was the same up and down the east coast. It was two degrees in new york citys central park, breaking a 1950 mark of seven degrees.

Fire department and public works crews along the jersey shore had a flurry of calls for help. Our main concern is to get out there, evaluate the structure and see if we can gain control of the utilities. Shut them down.

The wall street journal reported today that scans show continued signs of the hackers presence on department computers. But at a briefing today, spokeswoman jen psaki played down any security concerns. There are thousands of attacks from many sources that we deal with every single day. And the reason why theres been a focus i think on this particular incident is because of the extent and how broad it was, and obviously we took steps to combat that. But its something we work on everyday. Woodruff theres been no official confirmation as to who is behind the hacking, but the journal reports the russian government is a main suspect. In libya, militants allied with the Islamic State group killed more than 40 people in a series of revenge car bombings. The attacks came in the eastern city of qubbah. The militants said it was retaliation for egyptian air raids in the city of derna on monday. Egypt launched the strikes after 21 egyptian christians were beheaded.

That they kick the ukrainians out of the donbas region, so we can live peacefully. We will build all this back up together. We survived the second world war, and we will survive this. People are no different now to what they were then. Woodruff in washington, the state department warned russia of additional costs unless it reins in the rebels.

Still to come on the newshour greece gets a four month extension to its bailout; new allegations of Excessive Police force, that go beyond black and white; from bodybuilding to the Islamic State, how one egyptian youth became a violent radical; the stories and news that didnt go viral, but youll want to see; a poet creates a paradise for the worlds palm trees; plus, shields and brooks on the weeks news. Woodruff European Countries woodruff European Countries struck a crucial deal that will extend a bailout for greece. It would buy four more months of aid after tense negotiations over austerity measures, and, for now, eases some worries for the Global Economy about a rift in the eurozone. But now the greek Government Faces tough questions. David wessel of the Brookings Institution and a contributing correspondent for the wall street journal fills us in. Welcome back to the program david. So explain in terms youll understand what happened today. If you think of greece and the germans and the other europe passengers, theyre like cars in an indianapolis 500 race and they were headed towards a collision. Today they diverted just shy of a collision but theyre going to keep going around the track. So what happened today was the greek finance minister called it struckive ambiguity. They agreed on some terms that give the greeks four more months to figure out what theyre going to do. Provided the greeks by monday can come up with a list of belt tightening measures that the european union, the germans and imf agreed to. Woodruff does this representazone anything of os parity which is what the greek people were complaining about. It looks like its a slight easing up of austerity. They can run a smaller budget surplus. Thats what the greek finance minister told us. Thats what the wordings say. But in return for that the greek government the new greek government has to come up with a list of spending cuts or tax increases that they will stick to that add up to enough money to make good the promises that the last government hated to the european union. Woodruff so now with this four month deadline does one side or another have leverage here. I think the European Unions and the germans have leverage here. The reason they picked four months, the greeks wanted six months is because they have a big bill due on some loans over the summer. And this keeps the pressure on the greeks. I have to behave for the next four months otherwise well be right back to the confrontation again. Woodruff me may need some more explaining of all this next week as they continue. I have a feeling the storys not going to end by monday so there will be plement e of time to talk later. Woodruff david wester from the brookings institute. Thank you. Woodruff the issue of how police use force is again making headlines, this time outside the lens of black and white. The hispanic and indianamerican communities are in the spotlight after separate encounters with police left one man dead and another partially paralyzed. Warning this report contains graphic images. Woodruff the two confrontations making headlines happened in opposite corners of the country, alabama and Washington State. First, pasco, washington, early last week. This cell phone video, captured 35yearold Antonio Zambrana montes seeming to throw something at police and then run away before turning around with open arms. Thats when three officers shot killing him. The Police Involved say the man was throwing rocks. The community in the majority hispanic town quickly reacted, with protests and a call for a federal investigation. The officers involved are on paid leave. In a News Conference yesterday, local police said they want their officers to defuse community tension. Regardless of what anybody might say to you, do the right thing and show everybody who we are, that we can be fair, we can be just. Woodruff from the Pacific Northwest to the southeastern u. S. And madison alabama on february sixth. Police car video shows officers confronting 57yearold sureshbhai patel. A neighbor had called 911 concerned about a, quote, skinny black man walking close to homes. Patel is from india, visiting his son and grandchild and does not speak english. Officers ask him not to move. Video from a Second Police car shows a Slight Movement and then one officer forcefully knocks him to the ground. That action injured patels spine, leaving him partially paralyzed and in a hospital bed. The family is suing the police department. The officer, eric parker, was arrested for assault and his police chief has recommended he be fired. The incident gained international attention, with the government of india expressing sharp concern. Alabama Governor Robert Bentley personally reached out to the indian consulate, writing i deeply regret the unfortunate use of Excessive Force by the Madison Police department, please accept our sincere apology. Woodruff joining me now to talk about the issues raised here are suman raghunathan, executive director of saalt or south Asian Americans leading together. And David Klinger, former Police Officer and professor of criminal justice at the university of missouri st. Louis. We welcome you both to the program. Sue so suman raghunathan, let me start with you. What is it that has you and other members of the community concerned. Thank you for joining me tonight to discuss this important troubling incident. I think we can all agree that what happened to sure shy patel at the hands of officers who are kepting us all safe should never have happened. Part of what we had seen in the Southeastern Community nationwide has been an out pouring of concern for mr. Pa tell as well as his family in the wake of an incident with the Madison Police department two weeks ago today that has left mr. Patel partially paralyzed and facing a long recovery. Woodruff let me stop you. Is it your concern that his ethnicity, the color of his skin was a factor here . Absolutely. I think its very clear based on the reports of the 911 caller who quote unquote reported a skinny black guy in the neighborhood who was reportedly acting suspiciously, set up a troubling set of dynamics that played into the Madison Police departments conduct when dealing with a limited English Proficient grandfather who very clearly was4 communicatexz with the Law Enforcement officers who were interacting with him. Woodruff let me just pick up on that because i want to show both of you a short clip. This is a little bit more of a video, a different clip of video on what exactly happened there in alabama. David klinger, im going to come to you next, but lets watch. Sure. Youre not getting away from me again. If you do, ill put you on this ground do not jerk away from me, understand . Do you understand what im saying stew. Do not jerk away from me again. Wait a second. Relax, relax. Stop. He doesntw,english. Woodruff clearly this video from a distance but you do hear some of the conversation. Whats your assessment with how the police were dealing with mr. Patel. The end point to the take down leads me scratching my head. I dont understand what was going on and why the officer felt the need to teak him to the ground. But if we back up a little bit, my understanding is that 911 call comes in dispatched a suspicious looking person, Police Officer under those circumstances has lawful warrant to go ahead and stop an individual that is in the area that meets the general description and talk to the individual. An important issue is howfersz do not have lawful warrant to do a pat down search unless they have a reason why they believe the individual might be carrying some type of dangerous weapon. That calls out ofn on 1964 case terry versus ohio. Why was the pat down. And the gentleman attempting to pull away a little bit, but if you look at the video hes not aggressively pulling away, hes not trying to break away and run and theres two officers there. I dont understand why the lead officer the one who took him to the ground felt they needed to get better control over him to conduct this pat down. He didnt do one of the myriad of things they could have done other than taking him to the ground. Woodruff David Klinger staying with you. Isnt there protocol when youre dealing with somebody who doesnt speak english. Yes. And part of therylqir problem is we dont know what the communication barrier is. It takes a little while for a Police Officer to figure out this individual doesnt speak english. Does he havezq . 8n a speech impediment, does he have a hearing problem, whatever the case might be. The officers should be trained. If you are talking to someone and having trouble communicating to them have you to reach out to communicate to them other than verbally to explain what it is you wanted. Something thats simple in that situation instead of repeatedly telling him dont pull away just grab him more firmly so h he gets the message. Woodruff suman raghunathan, how frequently do you in the Indian American community see incidents like this, and is there an effort under way to work with Law Enforcement about how to address it . Absolutely. I think we see the incident that occurred happened to not only many Indian Americans but many individuals of color across the country. One in ten madison residents speak a lash other than english at home. That points to us to not only the need to perform Police Practices to better effectively interact with immigrant rhesus indictments. But we continue to make sure we are engaging in efforts to reform the wave that Law Enforcement interacts with individuals. We see echos here. Theyre certainly not on the same skill of course of many of the incidents we have seen in ferguson as well as in Staten Island with respect to both racial profiling as well as police brutality. We know theres an Ongoing Investigation on the part of the department of justice into the Madison Police department. We need lasting change to Reform Police practice that men racial profile can lead to safety. Woodruff let me turn to David Klinger. Given this incident ing u2na alabamaand given the incident in Washington State where its less clear about exactly what the circumstances were. Theres still a dispute. M9paa kind of work is going onright now, would you say, in the Law Enforcement community to make sure, that these kinds of incidents dont happen where an individual is not armed and doesnt pose a threat. I think the most important thing is that officers need to be reminded that their office is one of the great deal of responsibility when it comes to using force and to remind officers that there are all sorts of things they can do besides using force to take care of whatever it is that they are confronted with. In this situation, i personally dont see anything
