benghazi on a western target and likely foreshadows more to come. >> does it foreshadow the spread of i.s.i.l.? >> it could. there's maghreb and others there as well. two significant terrorist organizations with deep roots inside. they could have been behind the attacks. >> is there maybe an inspirational connection here? >> i think that's what it is. given that i.s.i.s. claims one city in the eastern part of libya and small pockets, this is potentially foreign fighters coming home. libya was a net exporter of jihadists when they overthrew the government. they went to syria and mali and other places to fight. this could be a result of them coming home getting organised and trying to find a group that associated themselves. >> libya has been in turmoil for some time. it puts an exclamation point on the growing concern about

countries like libya that seem to be out of control. >> yes, a failed nation state, civil war taking place. we have a responsibility. we have not gone in. our embassy is closed. we have no influence at this point in time. the neighbouring country, egypt, as it sees a flow of fight evers going through its -- fighters going through its borders and back the united states can't be everywhere. >> libya is syria light. 6,000 people in libya - most live along the coast. the same blueprint. whatever the blueprint that will be decided on how syria goes will likely be used, the same model to take care of libya. >> in some ways the suggestion has been that you can fight the groups with - by feeding people and taking care of people and getting them jobs. do you see that as part of the process or not? >> i don't know how we import

that. >> i don't mean i.s.i.l. the people in the countries. >> disenfranchised youth that take up arms. i'm not sure how we import that how it gets imported into syria as well. it's a traditional problem that exists within the middle east. these two warring factions inside of libya, if they don't get their act together they could be overcome by the terrorist organisations. >> in jordan secret talks under way. reportedly abducted by i.s.i.l. the kidnappers released video, demanding the release of an iraqi woman who was part of the a bombing. in exchange a japanese journalist and jordanian pilot will be released. if not the hostages will be killed. shinzo abe called the latest deadline despicable.

and sectarian divisions, and the situation in yemen, to the south, the situation in iran and the nuclear talks. the saudis are anxious about how they may turn out. on the question of civil and human rights within saudi arabia, the president brought it up with the king but not a specific case we are told by white house officials, and did not mention that saudi arabia blogger who had been flogged publicly and sentenced to 10 years iften. the president spoke for a need for the balance on these issues and security. here is the president in an interview before arriving in saudi arabia. >> what i found effective is apply steady pressure as we are getting business done this needs to get done. and oftentimes that makes some of our allies uncomfortable. it makes them frustrated. sometimes we have to balance our need to speak to them about

human rights issues with immediate concerns that we have in terms of counterterrorism or dealing with regional stability. >> the word that administration comes back to to describe the relationship and power, is continuity with a key ally in a different part of the world. the obama administration may put parts of the atlantic ocean up for ocean for drilling allowing offshore oil and gas drilling from virgin to georgia. some say it poses a risk to tourism and the fishing industry. congress does not need to approve that plan. president obama is expected to ask congress for an increase in the defense budget. pentagon documents show the white house wants a $38 billion increase, after years of budget cuts under sequestration. the president requesting $5

miles per hour qualified winter storm juno as a full-fled blizzard. coastal communities in massachusetts and rhode island were hard hit by wage surges. along a corridor of 50 miles, schools and government offices were shut down. the storm failed to live up to expectations by midday new york and new jersey reopened most public transit systems. >> i didn't think it was that bad. i was expecting 2 feet it was only a couple of numbers of. they were making a big deal out of nothing. >> reporter: official had no apologies for road closures amounting to few casualties. >> we obviously missed the worst of this storm, which is a blessing for new york city. we have an old saying that we live by around here - prepare

for the worst and hope for the best power outims were minor, a -- outages were minor, a massachusetts utility shut down. had the snow been wetter and he never, but the dry powdery consistency allowed most powerlines to escape damage. >> across the area skiers dog walkers and snowboarders turned it to their advantage. >> as you see, the storm has not quite ended. according to the forecasts, there's another storm in store for this part of new england. 2-6 inches according to the forecast beginning thursday and friday. while people are digging out from this one. >> tom ackerman in boston outside of major cities like boston, small towns are struggling to clean up after the blizzard. in some areas snow totals are reported in feet not inches. towns are finding they have to

team up to clear the street. paul beban is in new london connecticut, with more. >> well that's right. the storm dealt much of this region a glancing blow. not in coastal connecticut. they took a direct hit, snow consistently for hour after hour 2-4 inches per hour and now there's about 24-36 inches, 2-3 feet already on the ground and it's still coming down. >> reporter: most of connecticut was lucky, managing to avoid the worse of a devastating snow storm. new london, a small coastal city of 27,000 got almost three feet of snow. people like the rest of the state, heeded the government's warning - staying off the road and for the most part inside. >> we only had 11 accidents on the highway system and one minor injury. that's spectacular.

>> reporter: unlike major cities such as boston and new york, new london has limited resources to deal with the storm's aftermath. most of the city is shut down. >> we work with the fire department and emergency management and public works department to make sure we know what each agency is doing to facilitate a clean up of the city. >> reporter: the police cruisers are no match for roads and drifts up to 4 feet high. officers are working overtime and in multiple shifts. >> how is the staff holding up. it's been a long couple of days. >> we are getting tired. officer's men and women have done a tremendous job, putting the time and effort in. we are getting tired. >> you guys are hunkering down. >> that's right. we are here to protect. we need to be here to protect people. >> with new london's response team working at full capacity the city is a ghost town. the blizzard is taking a financial toll on business

owners like charlie king. we met him as he shovelled the walk in front of his shop. >> what does this do to a small business like yours? >> hurts the small business. no argument about that. the winter is a bad time for us. we are pretty much seasonal. to have weather like this and days where we have some sales, it's not worth it to open the doors. >> the mayor here says that an on-street parking ban will remain into effect until noon tomorrow. they are determined to clear the streets as much as they can, and are getting a little help from friends in bridgeport. they sent up four ploughs to work. they are returning a favour that new london did for bridgeport a few years ago. when things hit hard the small towns try to help each other out. there's no time to wait. more expected as early as

friday. >> paul beban, thank you it may seem like many dodged the storm. as he said it's causing problems along the coast and meteorologist nicole mitchell has more. >> the snow totals are racking up. if you didn't get it, you should be thankful. look at the totals. we have parts of massachusetts that have seen three feet of snow. connecticut close to that and the depending what side of new york you are on. la guardia. and on the other side of new island it's measured in feet. closer to the coastline you got more. closer to the coast line the heavy bans. not just the snow winds are high. blizzard warnings are town but we have a lot of storm warnings. a lot excited well 4:00am. but winds are still high. somewhere like portland into main 43 gusting - gusting to

43. in parts 6 massachusetts, hurricane force, over 70 miles per hour. this is slowly starting to ease with the wind gust. the wind is doing a couple of things. it's causing coastal concerns flooding in places like massachusetts. 4-foot waves and chilly windchills. some in the negative. this will go out overnight tonight, tomorrow much improved. back to you. >> thank you. still ahead - some leaders in new york are getting panned for overreacting to the storm. we'll look at that and the politics behind dealing with bad weather, all at the bottom of the hour first, a controversial execution. why protesters say a connected murderer put to death tonight should have been spared. i talk to his lawyer and new details from the mexican government. what they are saying about 43 missing students and why critics don't believe them.

despite arguments that he was intellectually disabled a georgian inmate was put to death - a decision that was controversial. robert ray reports. >> reporter: 54-year-old warren hill convicted of killing two people and believed by some

doctors and courts to be intebilityually -- inteibilityually disabled was put to death. 90 miles away on the steps of the georgia state capital, demonstrators stood in shock. others that spent time with hill reflected. >> it's a bizarre situation. we sat for two days with his family and with - with warren and warren has some ek win imenty. he an anxious, and his family had a tearful goodbye. >> reporter: tuesday the georgian state parole board refused to grant clemency. moments before the execution, the u.s. supreme court refused to halt the process. >> the public needs to know there were a lot of people out here that were saying this is the wrong thing, this is not the direction that we want to go in terms of public policy or how we

act as a society. and that we are saddened by the direction georgia has gone. >> reporter: georgia has the most stringent standard to prove intellectual disability. warren hill's lawyers would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was mentally disabled. the state said hill's lawyers failed to meet the burden of proof. >> the reality is that georgia is one of a few states holding on tightly to the death penalty. last year there were 35 executions in the whole nation from seven states which is the lowest number that we have seen in 20 years. >> minutes after the execution ryan cam ever warren hill's attorney told al jazeera he no longer has faith in the u.s. justice system and in his words the constitution is a paper

tiger. >> brian kamha joins us on the telephone. what do you mean the constitution is a paper tiger? >> well the constitution prohibits - supposedly prohibited the execution of people with intellectual disability. in georgia it has no effect apparently, because - you know it's not just some doctors who thought that warren hill was intellectually disabled every doctor that evaluated him found him to be intellectually disabled. yet we could not break through georgia's extreme standard you know for determining intellectual disability as a legal innelagibility for the death penalty. >> what did you want the supreme court to do to strike down georgia's law as unconstitutional unconstitutional? >> yes, the united states supreme court issued a decision

last year which stated that you know the states cannot erect hurdles that create an unacceptable risk that people with an intellectual disability will be executed. that is what the beyond a reasonable doubt standard does in georgia. people who are more than likely intellectually disabled or certainly, can be executed. they can't meet this - the heaviest standard of proof in the law. >> why do you think georgia had the law. what is it about the state of georgia that is different? >> well georgia was the first state to enact a prohibition on execute ght the intellectual -- executing the intellectually disabled. it was done in relation to drone bowden who had an i.q. in the high '60s. he was clearly intellectually

disabled. there was an outbreak over that. this law was enacted. i don't think much thought was put into the standard of proof. only now really in warren hill's case was the standard truly tested tested, and it failed. warren hill's case is a repeat of the bowden disaster. >> warren hill executed tonight in georgia. thank you for joining us. a death row inmate in texas was supposed to die. he was spared by the state's highest criminal court. at least for now. the texas court of criminal appeals halted garcia white's executionment the judges gave no explanation why. white islinged to five killings in houston, and his lawyers argue he was mentally impaired at the time of the killings it's been months since 43 student protesters went missing

in mexico. today they were declared dead. with prosecutors say they were victims of a drug cartel that had mistaken them for a rival gang. many doubted the official version of the event. adam raney has been following the story. >> reporter: the attorney-general says there's no doubt. >> the evidence allows us to determine that the students were kidnapped, burnt and dumped in a river, citing 39 confession including this man, felipe rodriguez, saying gang members called on him to dispose of students. the conference was completed with slick-produced videos and re-enactments to add weight to the attorney-general's argument. but it's unlikely to convince a sceptical country. protests like this on monday call the government's art into

question. forensic experts have only identified the remains of one student. fire experts and parents say there's no way 43 were burnt at this dux. >> we don't believe it. yesterday many were marching in the street. they want to close the case. >> reporter: the conference came after the president gave a speech saying mexico could no longer be held back by the awful crime. >> translation: there needs to be punishment for those responsible for these event. we need to take the path in the direction of continuing to move forward to ensure in mexico the best is still to come. >> the truth is many mexicans don't want to move forward, many believing that police and the army participated in the attacks. if anything mexicans want a fuller accounting of what happened that night. >> he didn't say case closed

but the attorney-general did make clear he as convinced he had the necessary facts to prosecute the case. in the coming days that certainty will be called into question by a skeptical public coming up next in the broadcast. the politics of snow. why some leaders feel the heat for a blizzard that fizzled in new york city. and a dramatic shift for the more man church -- mormon church.

the coast of new england will be pounded for a few more hours by the north-east blizzard. it will have 3 feet of snow in some spots. high tides breached a seawall

south of boston damaging homes. power was out in that area. here in new york city residents were spared the predicted high accumulations, many spent the day off in central park. as a result of decisions by mayors and some governors, several cities were at a stand still. some are wondering if that was an overreaction, and politicians are feeling heat in the blizzard. jonathan betz is here with more. >> i have a term for this snow-perbally. storms have cost people their jobs but it can work against them. >> reporter: the storm glanced new york city but it was a new york out. america's largest city shut down for an historic blizzard that wasn't. now politicians are feeling the heat. >> you can't be a monday morning

quarterback on monday the 11th. >> bill de blasio brushing back accusations that there was an overreaction shutting down the subway, and keeping people off the roads. >> would you rather be ahead of the action or behind? >> reporter: it has a cost. one study found new york losing $700 million every snow day. massachusetts 265 million. other studies say much of that lost business is quickly made up. it hits hourly workers especially hard. the allege new york i earns $400 a day. >> disappointed. i want more. i'm off from work today. there's no reason for me to be off. >> history is full of warnings for politicians who underestimated storms. atlanta last year 2 inches of snow and ice paralysed a city. >> what could we do to avoid that. we can't control mother nature. >> new york 2010.

two died because paramedics couldn't get through the snow. the mayor was criticized for snow removal efforts. >> if buffalo, new york a monster storm caught everyone by surprise dumping several feet of snow. >> we didn't close roads, et cetera, because we weren't accepting seven feet of snow. i made a comment that the weather forecast was not 100% accurate which offended weather forecasters across the country, and i was roundly berated for days. >> after this storm, new york city quickly restarted. leaders say the impact was small, did the old saying better safe than sorry. >> i would rather be in a situation where we say we got lucky, than saying we didn't get lucky and someone died. >> parts of the north-east were hit hard by the blizzard. the only history of the storm

that it made in new york city was that it shut down the subway. >> the government was not blaming much about forecasters this time. >> no as we see, predicting the weather is a risky business. for the science and art of forecasting we go to jacob ward in san francisco. >> the united states has a forecasting problem. it's not that we don't have enough people looking at the sky, it's that we don't have computers powerful enough to accurately simulate the weather. that is how a weather forecaster works. supercomputers try their best to simulate factors, but until recently the national weather service had a supercomputer only powerful 0.2. europe has a large supercomputer capable of several. why does speed matter? it determines accuracy. >> reporter: remember hurricane sandy in 2012.

european forecast models got it right. american models got it wrong. here is sandy's path. the line is the european prediction. see how close it lines up with the path a week before land fall. it took the u.s. model several days to catch up. sandy killed 150 people in the u.s. and cost many millions. here is the thing - no one is right all the time. the national weather forecast relied on the european model to say that a blizzard was off long island. that didn't happen. almost everything was shut down only to find the blizzard prediction was wrong. the national weather service issued a qualified apology saying:

new york governor como mentioned a plan to create america's own system. >> we are in the form of creating a system in new york. it's the most sophisticated in the country. >> why? because we make big decisions based on the weather forecast. >> he'd have to spend a bit to compete. this month the national weather service announced it would spend $640, bringing computer speed up to 2.5 pedaflops, nothing compared to the u.k. planning to build a $128 million 16 pedaflop computer by 2016. the greatest failure is false confidence. there was an equal chance that 5 inches or 30 inches of snow could have hit new york city.

the national weather service didn't communicate its uncertainty, it made a prediction - typically what they do. atmospheric scientists said every forecast should come with a probability rating giving an idea on whether to shut down cities or put on boots thank you many forecasters apologise for inaccurate predictions, meteorologist from the international weather center tweeted this out addressing gore and leaders saying: meteorologist nicole mitchell joins us again. why was this one so tough? >> a lot of people got the brunt of the storm. we were talking about computer models one of the reasons that computer models work is the data going in. when you get a storm off the coastline you have observing sites. once you are over water, you are

talking a few buoys recording wind and pressure. this system was a little further to the east meaning new york new jersey some of those areas didn't get as much snow as they could have had the storm been closer. tops of snow up the coast line and dramatic impacts. look at the coastal flooding. this is part of massachusetts. what happened is all the wind with the storm pushed up to 4 feet of water over and then because of the snow and ice already there, it had clogged the drains so it couldn't go anywhere. more of the images where does the snow and water go now? it clears out. this is by tomorrow morning, clearing out. as you heard others on the broadcast mention, another system behind this this one looks like more widespread will be measured in inches versus feet. more of a clipper system versus

the coastal monster we had. >> the houthis say they want a peaceful transition of pour in yemen. the special envoy to yemen is leading talks to end a crisis beginning when the president resigned and rebels took control. houthi leaders want better representation in the central government. other separatists want to create an autonomous state in southern yemen. in kosovo adding insult to injury 80 were hurt led by an albanian political group. a party is demanding the resignation of a member of parliament who called them savages for blocking pilgrims from a monastery. there was an apology but a refusal to step down sudan - 300 child soldiers laid down their arms the beginning of what the u.n. calls

a large demobilization of child soldiers. roxana saberi has more. [ singing ] >> reporter: these children are the same age as middle schoolchildren, some not teenagers, many have been fighting for up to four years. >> the childhood has stopped. they are now at the forefront, some of them likely to face the risk of severe disability or death. >> a rebel force called the cobra faction recruited them in a campaign against south sudan's government. they do not have to fight any more. on tuesday in eastern south sudan, the group handed 300 child soldiers offer to u.n.i.c.e.f. the first of what will be 3,000 kids freed by a peace deal with the government. this 13-year-old joined voluntarily.

this 12-year-old said that he is looking forward to going to school for the first time. the u.n. has to try to reunite the boys with their families - a daunting task in a country with more than 1 million children displace said by civil war. with the peace deal u.n.i.c.e.f. says 9,000 children are fighting. some with government forces others with rebel groups. they are subjected or they are witness to horrible stories. mostly they are separated from their families from the communities. >> the u.n. is working to get the children into school and get them counselling and health care. all the children released were boys but the u.n. says girls were recruited as child soldiers in south sudan thank you. now to utah. the mormon church extended an apparent olive branch to the gay community. leaders say they support the

rights of those who identify as l.g.b.t. but others suggest the endorsement comes with strings attached. >> reporter: mormon leaders announced nuanced support of new gay rights laws at a news conference in salt lake city. while they say they support legislation to protect the rights of the gay community, they say the rights of people with different religious believes should have legal protection. >> for example, latter day saint physician who objects to performing abortions or artificial insemination for a lesbian couple should not be forced against his or her conscience to do so. >> reporter: the change in tone goes beyond the mormon church but part of a discussion about bridging the gap between religious freedom and civil rights. there's backlash against businesses rejecting services based on orientation.

>> a neighbourhood catholic pharmacist who declines to carry the morning after pill when large chains offer that item should not be pressured into violating his or her conscience by bullying or boycotting. >> more mon leaders have been meeting with the community since 2009. that followed criticism of the church's endorsement of california's proposition 8 banning gay marriage. mormon leaders point out that tuesday's announcement does not change the church's stance on homosexuality or gay marriage. the doctrine says it's against the law of god to have sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman sara long is the outreach director for mormons for equality and is in portland oregon. i think it may be a good idea if you explain what the group is about - mormons for equality.

>> we are a group of mormons committed to our faith that believe in civil equality for all people. >> what was your reaction to the announcement? >> it's an important step that needs to happen in the state of utah. we need - this needs to happen. gay families are affected. their children are affected. couples are affected. this legislation very much needs to go through. however, we are concerned about the religious exemptions requested. >> explain that to me. it was hard to understand - i understand the specific cases brought up today, but, i mean does this mean that if let's say, you own a restaurant and a gay couple walks in you can refuse them service? >> that's an excellent question. that is what i'm concerned about. that is for the legal experts in utah the legislature, who are debating the bill to describe.

that's the situation we want to avoid. >> why did the mormons jump into this today? >> it's been a process. there has been a long slow coming around to accepting that our commitment to equality and equal treatment and equal rights under the constitution which more mops are very you know, we are fierce about. we are fierce about that freedom and equality. it's been this process since evolution that has brought - from 2009, when religious leaders supported the changes to today, when legislators are supporting it statewide. >> andrew rosenthal from the "new york times," the editorial editor of the "new york times" wrote:

what do you think? >> i wouldn't state it that harshly. yes, that would enshrine in law the ability to use your religion as an excuse to discriminate. that is not right. when we deal with the public sphere we have to be fair to all people. there are many things we don't believe in drinking smoking - that we don't foist upon parties. >> can you explain what is different about the state of utah. obviously mormons are a force, a political and spiritual force, and there are a lot of mormons in utah. how does that affect this issue. it is our homeland. utah was founded by mormons who fled across the plains to escape religious persecution. 50 years later when the rest of the country caught up to them

they had to give up polygamy to become members of the country. >> thank you very much still ahead - using technology to save a young life. how 3d printing gave doctors an unprecedented look at a little girl's heart and witness to holocaust. an american world war ii vet tells his story as we mark 70 years since auschwitz. per cent per cent

the nazi death camp auschwitz has become a symbol for the holocaust. survivors gathered to mark 70 years since liberation. simon mcgregor-wood has the story. >> reporter: 70 years on, 300 elderly survivors gathered before auschwitz's gate of death, where the trains came to,
