on the saudi side there are indications that salman wants stepped-up cooperation with the west, especially on fighting islamist extremism. an early sign came when he chose 55-year-old mohammed bin nayef, a western-educated minister focused on counter-terrorism, to be second in line to the throne. but the king and his advisors face a balancing act between working with the west, and accommodating the country's ultra-conservative brand of islam. recent reforms have allowed women into political life, but they are still not permitted to drive cars. and just this week, the saudis carried out another public beheading, the first under king salman's rule. >> woodruff: for more on whether the u.s. has struck the right it's notable that later today a u.s. official said the new saudi king did not raise any >> woodruff: for more on whether the u.s. has struck the right balance between its interests and concerns over saudi arabia's human rights record, i'm joined by gary sick, a veteran of the white house national security council staff during the ford, carter and reagan administrations. he's now at columbia university. and tom porteous, deputy program director of the advocacy group, hum

they called on muslims in the west to avenge the reputation and the sanctity of the prophet mohammed going and killing cartoonist who are participating in a "draw mohammed" day. they showed south park on, to central did a whole issue about this where they mocked the prophet mohammed and actually published the cartoonists that had drawn the prophet mohammed in this manner, including a woman in seattle washington named molly morse. she had to go underground and change her name and receive federal protection from the fbi. to this day, she is still underground, believing she remains on this hit list. this was something that was a major campaign initiated by al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. my understanding is these two brothers were doing this in concert, to some degree, with aqap. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula officials have told me we directed this attack. >> how did they get in touch with you? >> i don't want to discuss sources and methods, but i will say about the source, i spent a lot of time in yemen including areas controlled by al qaeda and i would never just print something

mohammed, very bad things are going to happen to you. you can insult in the west catholics, baptists quakers, no one is going to show up at your door withtomatic weapon. that's not true -- >> you are providing a transition that i want to get to. that is this idea of what should -- how should the media handle this? is mohammed up not the same satirical treatment as jesus christ is, as the pope, all of those things? david you wrote something that i can tell you more people e-mailed me about your column on friday than i get usually. the journalists at charlie hebdo are being celebrated as martyrs. >> the reaction should be for us domestically, is let's get offended more. let's tolerate a little offensiveness. microaggression, it's a minor offense against people. you have to learn to tolerate that. we have to do two things. we have to uphold standards of civility and decency. but we have to let the clowns say what the clowns do. you never do that with law. you never do it with speech. you don't disinvite speakers. you allow them to talk. you have distinctions. some people like we are at the adult table. some people like ann coulter, charlie

on the west according to their twisted sensibilities. we are not blurring or restricting the magazine's views about the prophet mohammed.n various stories. it is interesting to just see that back and forth between how this is different. >> yeah. it is. i think to go back to the policy point that charles was making. i think, you know, we have been in a sense having this policy debate over the course of the obama administration. we had it in the bush administration. it's important to be clear about what the united states is and is not doing. what the west more broadly is and is not doing. we are no longer listening to the bad guys the way that we once were. we are no longer fighting them not interrogating them. letting the worse of the worse walk guantanamo. one the interesting things about this one of these men shareef was detained. we knew who he was. the key to stopping attacks like this is to identifying people who would commit these attacks. we knew who he was. we knew he was allied with jihadists, he had been sending support to iraq. he served apparently his term was 18 months. i don't know that he served the entire

mohamed reports. >> in thear charred 100-kilometers from west of the capitol. this unit is at work. they use a robot to hunt for devices left behind by isil in one of the villages. this is what is making the difference. but the work is challenging the many ways. >> many land mines can by fighters we are making some gains and gradually retaking territory from them put our capacity is limited as no policeman in terms of dismantling i.e.d.es this is from the capitol of the province. the region remains under isil's control and now her trying to take control over them too and army is trying to avoided that they got a boost recently when they joined the fight against isil militia man loyal support police in patrolling the neighborhoods and districts. the government is still unwilling to answer question whose are willing to join the fight against isil. >> the government has not helped us so far we have called for help, and asked for assistance from many ministers but our calls seem to be falling on deaf ears so we have stopped asking for help. >> sunni tribal leaders say they need weapons and air support. but they are faith in getting help has almost v

on a town 35km west of erbil. a commander told us that they came from the tigris river, attacked the town took the sections and used heavy weapons, including antitank weapons. >> mohammed adow reporting live from erbil in northern iraq. >>> to sang where the new president maithripala sirisena following a shock victory over mahinda rajapaksa. we have this report from colombo. [ ♪♪ ] >> reporter: thousands of supporters created sri lanka's new leader maithripala sirisena at his inauguration at the capital in colombo. few predicted the former health minister and ally of the defeated leader mahinda rajapaksa would break ranks, stand against him and beat him in the polls. >> translation: i want to thank all my supporters all the parties and groups that supported me and i want to thank the election commission and police for making sure this was a fair election. >> he told supporters this was the beginning of his first and last six year term as president. his coalition consists of an astonishing 49 parties and groups and promised to abolish a system that allows mahinda rajapaksa and his family to avoid the rule of law. he said those days are over. >> thousands of people came

one of the gunmen supposedly said the prophet had his revenge? was it just about publishing cartoons of the prophet mohammed? i think it was about essentially an attempt to intimidate the west and the french government. by hitting an easy target with high symbolic value. that's a classic terrorist tactic. and i think that they won't succeed in intimidating the public or the government even over the short-term. but i think that certainly was their intention. >> all right. thank you so much chris dickey from paris. appreciate your reporting on this. >>> at this point, there hasn't been any change in the alert level here in the u.s. and there's been no significant change in security at the u.s. embassy in paris. not far from those offices where the attack happened. so we mentioned secretary of state john kerry spoke from the state department about that this morning. he hit the free speech defense point that we've been hearing from all these u.s. officials very loud and clear. >> today, tomorrow in paris, in france across the world, the freedom of expression that this magazine no matter what your feelings were about it the freedom of expression it represented is not able to be

one another to do the first massive attack in the west. now for them saying that they are avenging the prophet mohammed pictures and anwar al-awlaki, it makes sense it's also from yemen. especially al-awlaki. he was someone that he was very high and someone who was dear to them. so it looks like it is aqap yemen. but don't forget that aqap yemen is also hooked up with al nusra. they have the experience of killing innocent people it wouldn't surprise me. >> you infiltrated al-qaeda and survived. i don't know if there is anybody else that can say that. give us the mindset of hitting the west. how much of an operation like this means to someone who works for al-qaeda in yemen or any other middle east country. >> this is the worst case scenario, what we're facing now. >> for us. what about for them? for them, this is the best case scenario. >> for them it's the opposite. for them, it's the best, like winning the world cup in soccer. there is nothing higher for them. obviously what they want to achieve next time is to kill even more civilians. now these people have manageed to trigger and the french -- trick the french authorities when they come
