[00:09.120 --> 00:10.800] Film a sludge to see me. [00:10.800 --> 00:12.480] It's all perfectly legal. [00:12.480 --> 00:14.320] The disclosure on your donations [00:14.320 --> 00:16.080] tonight at 11 on NBC Bay [00:16.080 --> 00:17.120] area news. [00:18.320 --> 00:19.520] On the broadcast tonight [00:19.520 --> 00:20.880] a political earthquake in [00:20.880 --> 00:22.640] Washington, President Obama [00:22.640 --> 00:25.040] says no to a massive pipeline [00:25.040 --> 00:27.200] project and is immediately [00:27.200 --> 00:28.960] charged with having said no to [00:28.960 --> 00:31.520] thousands of new American jobs. [00:31.520 --> 00:33.600] Gone blank tonight the big fight [00:33.600 --> 00:35.040] behind what happened to some [00:35.040 --> 00:37.600] big names on the web today and why [00:37.600 --> 00:39.040] they went away. [00:39.040 --> 00:41.040] A new twist in the cruise ship [00:41.040 --> 00:43.360] kept in story how he ended up in a [00:43.360 --> 00:45.040] lifeboat while thousands of [00:45.040 --> 00:47.040] passengers were stranded and [00:47.040 --> 00:48.880] tonight why the search for the missing [00:48.880 --> 00:51.920] may be over and snow day a city [00:51.920 --> 00:54.080] more accustomed to rain practically [00:54.080 --> 00:56.240] shut down tonight by something [00:56.240 --> 00:58.320] different and that storm is moving [00:58.320 --> 00:59.280] east. [00:59.280 --> 01:01.440] Plus what are the absolute worst [01:01.440 --> 01:03.520] airport terminals in this country? [01:03.520 --> 01:05.680] See if the one you're thinking of [01:05.680 --> 01:08.240] made the new list nightly news begins now. [01:12.480 --> 01:14.720] From NBC News World headquarters [01:14.720 --> 01:17.600] in New York this is NBC nightly news [01:17.600 --> 01:18.640] with Brian Williams. [01:19.360 --> 01:20.880] Good evening it would have stretched [01:20.880 --> 01:23.360] from Canada to Texas and all along [01:23.360 --> 01:25.120] the countryside in between and it's [01:25.120 --> 01:27.520] still might someday but for now [01:27.520 --> 01:30.560] President Obama has said no to a massive [01:30.560 --> 01:33.920] oil pipeline project a seven billion [01:33.920 --> 01:36.320] dollar job that would create a lot of jobs [01:36.320 --> 01:37.360] in this country. [01:37.360 --> 01:39.920] The president says he has his reasons he [01:39.920 --> 01:41.920] feels rushed into a decision by [01:41.920 --> 01:44.320] Congress and there are questions about [01:44.320 --> 01:46.560] a lot of things including the environment [01:46.560 --> 01:48.800] and his decision now to put this on hold [01:48.800 --> 01:51.200] his anger a lot of people from Canada [01:51.200 --> 01:54.160] on South Clear to Congress in Washington. [01:54.160 --> 01:56.720] And as of today you can be sure as the [01:56.720 --> 01:59.280] campaign season enters the home stretch [01:59.280 --> 02:01.440] will be hearing a lot more about this [02:01.440 --> 02:02.960] long stretch of pipe. [02:02.960 --> 02:05.200] It's where we begin tonight with NBC's [02:05.200 --> 02:07.120] Andrea Mitchell and Washington Andrea [02:07.120 --> 02:10.080] Good evening Brian this sure was a [02:10.080 --> 02:12.640] no wind situation for the president on one [02:12.640 --> 02:15.040] side environmentalists fighting the pipeline [02:15.040 --> 02:17.360] which would have added to an existing pipeline [02:17.360 --> 02:19.520] and run from Canada all the way to the Gulf of [02:19.520 --> 02:22.560] Mexico on the other side union members wanting [02:22.560 --> 02:25.360] construction jobs plus in an election year [02:25.360 --> 02:27.280] all those Republican candidates accusing [02:27.280 --> 02:30.320] Mr Obama of passing up all that Canadian oil. [02:32.640 --> 02:35.280] It would have been the longest pipeline outside of Russia [02:35.280 --> 02:38.960] and China nearly 2,000 miles from Canada to the Gulf [02:38.960 --> 02:42.480] Coast designed to deliver 700,000 barrels of oil [02:42.480 --> 02:45.440] a day within minutes for Republican candidates [02:45.440 --> 02:45.840] pounds. [02:45.840 --> 02:47.920] This is a stunningly stupid thing to do. [02:50.960 --> 02:52.400] There's no better word for it. [02:52.400 --> 02:54.960] These people are so out of touch with reality [02:54.960 --> 02:57.040] it's as though they were governing morons. [02:57.040 --> 02:58.880] Even some Democrats objected. [02:58.880 --> 03:01.840] So I think the president made the wrong decision here. [03:01.840 --> 03:05.520] I think the keystone pipeline is a good job's [03:05.520 --> 03:06.640] opportunity. [03:06.640 --> 03:09.600] President Obama had wanted to delay a decision for another [03:09.600 --> 03:12.080] year which would have put it beyond the November [03:12.080 --> 03:15.040] election but Congress forced his hand demanding he [03:15.040 --> 03:18.320] decide now in a written statement today Mr Obama [03:18.320 --> 03:21.040] called that a rushed and arbitrary deadline [03:21.040 --> 03:23.840] preventing a full assessment of the pipelines impact on [03:23.840 --> 03:26.240] health, safety and the environment. [03:26.240 --> 03:28.880] But oil industry lobbyists claim thousands of jobs [03:28.880 --> 03:30.080] when now be lost. [03:30.080 --> 03:33.520] The president has repeatedly said he wants new jobs. [03:33.520 --> 03:35.440] He wants to be a job creator. [03:35.440 --> 03:39.760] Yet today he rejected the largest shovel ready job [03:39.760 --> 03:41.680] creator in America today. [03:41.680 --> 03:43.360] How many jobs are at stake? [03:43.360 --> 03:44.560] That's debatable. [03:44.560 --> 03:46.880] The industry says at least 20,000. [03:46.880 --> 03:49.840] The state department says 6,000 and a Cornell [03:49.840 --> 03:54.320] University study says at most 2,000 to 4,650 [03:54.320 --> 03:56.720] temporary construction jobs for two years. [03:59.760 --> 04:02.560] Today environmental groups who protest is against the pipeline [04:02.560 --> 04:06.560] for months warned it could even cost jobs if disaster struck. [04:06.560 --> 04:09.680] Far from being a job creator this is a pipeline which [04:09.680 --> 04:12.160] if it had a disastrous oil spill in [04:12.160 --> 04:15.280] in America's heartland would mean loss of jobs for [04:15.280 --> 04:17.040] thousands of farmers. [04:17.040 --> 04:19.760] The president called Canada's Prime Minister today to tell him [04:19.760 --> 04:20.720] of the decision. [04:20.720 --> 04:23.040] The Prime Minister reportedly said that Canada will now send [04:23.040 --> 04:26.480] its oil to China, especially because the state department said [04:26.480 --> 04:29.680] that the pipeline company cannot amend its application to take care of [04:29.680 --> 04:31.040] environmental concerns. [04:31.040 --> 04:33.920] It has to start all over again and that could take years, Brian. [04:33.920 --> 04:37.040] Andrew Mitchell starting us off from DC tonight, Andrea thanks and [04:37.040 --> 04:40.640] speaking of politics with just two days to go now to the South [04:40.640 --> 04:44.320] Carolina primary Newt Gingrich seized on Mitt Romney's [04:44.320 --> 04:47.600] revelation that he pays a much lower tax rate than the average [04:47.600 --> 04:51.040] middle class American worker and then he pounded away our [04:51.040 --> 04:53.840] political director Chuck Todd with us from Rock Hill, [04:53.840 --> 04:54.720] South Carolina. [04:54.720 --> 04:55.360] It's an eye-check. [04:55.360 --> 04:58.080] Good evening. [04:58.080 --> 04:59.120] Good evening, Brian Newt Gingrich. [04:59.120 --> 05:03.360] Definitely feeling his oats with less than 72 hours to go before the [05:03.360 --> 05:03.840] voting. [05:03.840 --> 05:08.320] In fact, on that tax issue, Newt Gingrich has a flat tax proposal that's [05:08.320 --> 05:12.720] 15% and he joked today, he wants to call it the Mitt Romney [05:12.720 --> 05:16.480] flat tax proposal to talk about that 15% but there's something more [05:16.480 --> 05:17.520] going on here. [05:17.520 --> 05:20.960] This coronation of Mitt Romney that appeared to be in place [05:20.960 --> 05:23.600] about 48 hours ago appears to be in a erase. [05:23.600 --> 05:26.960] You've got Gingrich getting huge crowds all of a sudden here. [05:26.960 --> 05:30.480] You've got Romney's campaign clearly deciding they're in trouble. [05:30.480 --> 05:32.720] They did a conference call attacking Gingrich today. [05:32.720 --> 05:36.240] They launched a new web ad and even Mitt Romney is going after him again [05:36.240 --> 05:37.920] on the campaign trail. [05:37.920 --> 05:39.120] Something's happening here. [05:39.120 --> 05:40.960] You see a shift in polling. [05:40.960 --> 05:42.240] This thing's not over Brian. [05:42.240 --> 05:45.440] All right, we'll stay on the story, Chuck Todd, in South Carolina [05:45.440 --> 05:46.960] tonight, Chuck, thanks. [05:46.960 --> 05:51.280] Today, in Washington, the Secretary of Defense addressed what some are calling [05:51.280 --> 05:54.960] an epidemic rape inside the U.S. military. [05:54.960 --> 05:59.760] He promised new steps to fix one of America's shameful secrets just two days [05:59.760 --> 06:04.960] before a new documentary on the subject premieres at the Sundance Film Festival. [06:04.960 --> 06:08.960] We get more on this tonight from Jim McLechevsky at the Pentagon. [06:08.960 --> 06:10.080] They can't. [06:10.080 --> 06:10.960] Give us one of the bigger. [06:10.960 --> 06:12.720] It's a startling statistic. [06:12.720 --> 06:16.720] Women in the military are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier [06:16.720 --> 06:19.760] than attacked by the enemy. [06:19.760 --> 06:24.400] A powerful new documentary, The Invisible War captures the horror of military [06:24.400 --> 06:25.520] sexual assault. [06:25.520 --> 06:29.760] I remember holding the closet thinking what just happened [06:29.760 --> 06:33.120] a month later, I found out I was pregnant. [06:33.120 --> 06:37.600] There were more than 3,000 reports of military sexual assault last year. [06:37.600 --> 06:41.680] Since many go unreported, the Pentagon estimates the actual number is a [06:41.680 --> 06:43.920] staggering 19,000. [06:43.920 --> 06:47.920] Defense Secretary Leon Pinata pledged today protecting service members from [06:47.920 --> 06:50.720] sexual assault is a top priority. [06:50.720 --> 06:56.720] We have a moral duty to keep them safe. [06:56.720 --> 07:00.080] From those who would attack their dignity and their honor. [07:00.080 --> 07:04.880] Pentagon has taken several steps to make it easier for victims to report assaults [07:04.880 --> 07:06.560] and seek protection. [07:06.560 --> 07:09.360] But the military's record remains dismal. [07:09.360 --> 07:13.040] Only 8% of sexual assault cases have been prosecuted, [07:13.040 --> 07:15.920] and only 2% end in convictions. [07:15.920 --> 07:21.520] Pinata argues that military judges and prosecutors must be more aggressive. [07:21.520 --> 07:24.160] In order to make sure that the signal is set, [07:24.160 --> 07:26.960] that anybody who does this is going to be held accountable. [07:26.960 --> 07:30.640] But that will require a major shift in the military's mindset [07:30.640 --> 07:32.720] and male-dominated culture, [07:32.720 --> 07:36.800] while thousands of military women suffer in silence. [07:36.800 --> 07:40.160] Jim McLechevsky and D.C. News, the Pentagon. [07:40.160 --> 07:43.760] Now we go overseas to Italy and the disaster at C tonight, [07:43.760 --> 07:47.920] five days after the accident aboard the Costa Concordia search [07:47.920 --> 07:52.080] and recovery efforts around the shimp wreck for the more than 20 [07:52.080 --> 07:56.240] still missing are on hold because of safety concerns. [07:56.240 --> 07:59.200] And a big European weather system is moving in. [07:59.200 --> 08:03.680] That could mean big waves and another satellite view to show you tonight. [08:03.680 --> 08:07.840] The incredible photo of the wreck as seen from space [08:07.840 --> 08:12.480] and B.C.'s Michelle Kaczynski has our report from the scene tonight. [08:13.840 --> 08:16.480] All the work today had to be above the waterline, [08:16.480 --> 08:18.720] dropping huge hoses onto the ship, [08:18.720 --> 08:22.400] preparing to pump out half a million gallons of fuel, [08:22.400 --> 08:25.200] which can't happen until searchers finish, [08:25.200 --> 08:29.280] that plans to blast four more holes into the Concordia's hall today [08:29.280 --> 08:32.000] and to find more bodies of the missing. [08:32.000 --> 08:35.280] Yesterday, they were able to plunge the depths of the once-grand [08:35.280 --> 08:38.960] ship. Video released today shows it as it rests, [08:38.960 --> 08:41.360] lit now by search lights. [08:41.360 --> 08:45.840] Today, the dangerously shifting vessel would not let them [08:45.840 --> 08:49.440] perched on rock above a slope that drops 200 feet. [08:49.440 --> 08:53.440] Families of the Unaccounted Forum, their photos hung in town, [08:53.440 --> 08:56.080] must also wait. [08:56.880 --> 08:59.360] Russell Rebello, a waiter from India, [08:59.360 --> 09:03.520] who was last seen helping passengers escape on life phones. [09:03.520 --> 09:05.520] I'm ready, proud of it. [09:05.520 --> 09:09.200] And the captain, many are calling the most hated man in Italy. [09:09.200 --> 09:12.480] Francesco Skatino, seen here, greeting passengers, [09:12.480 --> 09:14.800] before what's believed to be this voyage. [09:16.800 --> 09:21.440] As he hopes it will be an unforgettable journey for them. [09:21.440 --> 09:24.320] Friday night, after he took the ship off course, hit rock [09:24.320 --> 09:27.040] and left before desperate passengers did, [09:27.040 --> 09:31.200] he insisted to the furious port authority he did not abandon ship. [09:31.200 --> 09:34.800] And reportedly told prosecutors that tripped and fell [09:34.800 --> 09:37.040] right into a lifeboat. [09:37.040 --> 09:41.280] He will go one day in a prison for a long time. [09:41.280 --> 09:43.440] Still, industry analyst, using satellite data, [09:43.440 --> 09:47.280] say Skatino took a virtually identical route last year, [09:47.280 --> 09:49.840] which they say was authorized and charted. [09:49.840 --> 09:52.960] They must have become perilously close. [09:52.960 --> 09:56.320] I mean, possibly within touching distance. [09:56.320 --> 10:02.640] Skatino may have had reason to believe this path was safe. [10:02.640 --> 10:04.960] Tonight was really threatening the search, [10:04.960 --> 10:07.840] the stability of the ship, and the fuel situation, [10:07.840 --> 10:08.640] are waves. [10:08.640 --> 10:10.640] Tonight expected to reach six feet high, [10:10.640 --> 10:12.080] storms on the way. [10:12.080 --> 10:15.840] It's been tough for everyone here to look at this day after day [10:15.840 --> 10:18.800] and know they're losing time, Brian. [10:18.800 --> 10:21.760] Michelle Kosenski on the Italian coast with the wreckage right there [10:21.760 --> 10:26.400] behind her tonight. Michelle, thanks. Now to the Middle East, inside Syria, [10:26.400 --> 10:30.320] where we're on the ground tonight, after 10 months of protest, [10:30.320 --> 10:33.600] and for the more than 5,000 dead in the uprising, [10:33.600 --> 10:35.600] the government cracked down there. [10:35.600 --> 10:38.480] And the hope for a solution is dwindling. [10:38.480 --> 10:41.680] NBC's Amin Mohideen is one of the few western journalists [10:41.680 --> 10:44.800] in Damascus, Amin Good evening. [10:44.800 --> 10:47.200] Brian, there was real hope in the Syrian government [10:47.200 --> 10:50.000] allowed Arab League observers into the country last month [10:50.000 --> 10:53.040] that they would find a way to resolve this conflict. [10:53.040 --> 10:56.320] But as that fact-finding mission wraps up its work today, [10:56.320 --> 10:59.920] there are serious doubts about whether it has made any difference at all. [11:01.280 --> 11:06.400] It was their last chance to hear firsthand what is happening inside Syria, [11:06.400 --> 11:10.960] Arab League monitors during the country speaking to witnesses and victims. [11:16.960 --> 11:19.200] This is what the people wanted to show them. [11:19.200 --> 11:22.800] The violence inflicted by the Syrian military on neighbourhoods [11:22.800 --> 11:25.440] captured on amateur footage like this. [11:25.440 --> 11:28.560] The head of the mission will present his team's findings to an Arab [11:28.560 --> 11:31.440] foreign minister's meeting in Cairo on Sunday. [11:32.720 --> 11:35.600] But already, many say the mission has been a failure. [11:35.600 --> 11:39.040] Since they arrived last month to ensure serious compliance [11:39.040 --> 11:41.680] with an Arab League agreement to end the violence, [11:41.680 --> 11:45.280] activists say as many as 600 people have been killed. [11:45.280 --> 11:52.720] The observers couldn't prevent the daily killing and they failed to [11:54.880 --> 11:57.520] do anything to help the Syrian people. [11:57.520 --> 12:01.600] Several Arab League monitors tell NBC News their movements have been restricted [12:01.600 --> 12:05.680] by government security forces and that they were threatened and attacked [12:05.680 --> 12:07.840] a few of the monitors quit in protest. [12:08.880 --> 12:12.000] The Syrian government says it is waging war on armed gangs [12:12.000 --> 12:16.400] terrorizing the country and says more than 2,000 of its security forces have [12:16.400 --> 12:17.440] been killed. [12:17.440 --> 12:20.800] The government claims to be complying with the Arab League agreement, [12:20.800 --> 12:25.120] releasing prisoners, allowing foreign media into the country to report freely. [12:25.120 --> 12:28.720] But today, when we tried to film long lines at a gas station to show [12:28.720 --> 12:31.520] the impact of economic sanctions, we were stopped. [12:33.200 --> 12:36.240] Now, Brian, after we were taken to that police station, we were briefly [12:36.240 --> 12:39.760] questioned and then subsequently released, but it highlights the sense of [12:39.760 --> 12:42.880] nervousness among the Syrian government in allowing [12:42.880 --> 12:46.480] foreign media to operate here in sight, Syria, back to you. [12:46.480 --> 12:49.440] Iman Mohideen and Damascus for us tonight, Amen. [12:49.440 --> 12:53.440] Thanks. Back in this country, the big winter storm that hit Seattle [12:53.440 --> 12:57.120] today was not the apocalyptic disaster, some were predicting [12:57.120 --> 13:01.360] and fearing. But for that part of the country, five inches of snow in one [13:01.360 --> 13:05.360] shot is a lot. Our report from NBC's Miguel Amagher. [13:05.360 --> 13:11.440] Across Washington State, a good day to stay home. [13:11.440 --> 13:13.760] Streets became neighborhood playground. [13:13.760 --> 13:16.560] Look at all this stuff, and it's still snowing right now. [13:16.560 --> 13:20.880] In Olympia, the state capital, some found new ways to get to work. [13:20.880 --> 13:24.160] While in downtown Seattle, we're nearly a year's worth of snow, [13:24.160 --> 13:27.360] fell in a single day. Most streets were deserted. [13:27.360 --> 13:31.760] I came from Chicago and we experience [13:31.760 --> 13:37.200] heavier snow than here, but everyone is covered and bright. [13:37.200 --> 13:40.720] Five inches paralyzing the community used to rain, [13:40.720 --> 13:44.960] sights like these are rare. Still mobiles in the streets, [13:44.960 --> 13:50.560] smart cars wearing chains. The winter blasts left many hillside roads close, [13:50.560 --> 13:54.160] school shut down, and airlines canceled flights. [13:54.160 --> 13:57.920] Definitely ready to go home. I'm just crossing our fairs and hoping for the best. [13:57.920 --> 14:02.480] Ray Slisch took the day off with his Saint Bernard Panda. If I get stuck in the snow, [14:02.480 --> 14:05.920] I got to do this. Hook them up to the car and let them pull me out. [14:05.920 --> 14:10.080] In higher elevations, mountain passes were temporarily shut down because of [14:10.080 --> 14:12.720] avalanche danger, a storm on the move. [14:15.040 --> 14:18.480] It's going to shift to the south and give northern California Utah [14:18.480 --> 14:22.640] in Colorado so much needed snowfall. They haven't had a good storm like this since [14:22.640 --> 14:27.760] November. Already in Oregon, rain turned to slush and hammered [14:27.760 --> 14:31.760] portland, while along the coast hurricane forced wind gusts knocked out [14:31.760 --> 14:37.280] power to 30,000. Brian, the good news, the snow here in Seattle, [14:37.280 --> 14:40.160] was going to turn to rain there, used to that in these parts. [14:40.160 --> 14:43.920] The bad news, it's headed in your direction. First Chicago, [14:43.920 --> 14:48.640] then the Northeast. Brian Miguel, thanks for that a bad night in Seattle, [14:48.640 --> 14:52.320] in BC's Miguel Alma gear. Still ahead when we continue. [14:52.320 --> 14:56.800] Why so many internet searches came up empty today because of the fight we'll tell you [14:56.800 --> 15:00.800] about tonight and later it's happened before getting a giant ship right in [15:00.800 --> 15:21.120] out of the water after a disaster. Tonight how it's done from the man who does it. It's simple physics, a body and rest tends to stay at rest, while a body and motion tends to stay in motion. Staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. But if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. [15:21.120 --> 15:27.200] Prescription celebrates can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion because just one 200 [15:27.200 --> 15:34.960] milligrams celebrate a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. Plus in clinical studies, [15:34.960 --> 15:40.160] celebrates is proven to improve daily physical functions of moving is easier. And, [15:40.160 --> 15:44.160] celebrates is not an narcotic. When it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, [15:44.160 --> 15:48.240] you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. All prescription insects, [15:48.240 --> 15:53.200] like celibrex, ibuprofen, the proxin and maloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. [15:53.200 --> 15:56.960] They all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. [15:56.960 --> 16:03.440] This chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factor such as high blood pressure or when insects are taken for long periods. [16:03.440 --> 16:08.480] In sets including celibrex increased the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and [16:08.480 --> 16:13.200] intestine problems such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. [16:13.200 --> 16:20.480] Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Do not take celibrex if you've had an asthma attack, [16:20.480 --> 16:25.360] hives or other allergies to aspirin insects or sulfonomites. Get help right away if you have [16:25.360 --> 16:30.160] swelling of the face or throat or trouble breathing. Tell your doctor your medical history and find [16:30.160 --> 16:36.880] an arthritis treatment for you visit celibrex.com and ask your doctor about celibrex for a body and motion. [16:38.160 --> 16:42.480] For heart health, megareto megatri-cryloil. I'm like fish oil, [16:42.480 --> 16:46.480] megareto small and easy to swallow with no fishy smell or aftertaste. [16:46.480 --> 16:51.840] Megareto megareto and now to get even more pure omega-free krill oil, try new megareto extra strength. [16:52.880 --> 16:57.040] Look, the bill of slatey. We have to thank you for the advice on philips caplips. [16:57.040 --> 17:01.200] Magnusium, right? You bet. Philips caplips use magnesium. We're naturally than stimulant [17:01.200 --> 17:05.280] maxters. For gentler relief, the occasional cost of patient. Can I hear another graph? [17:05.280 --> 17:10.480] Live the regular life. Phillips. Depending on what you search for on the web today, [17:10.480 --> 17:16.240] you either got what you wanted or drove right into a black hole as some sites took themselves down [17:16.240 --> 17:22.080] to send a message to all of us wanting us to imagine a world without free knowledge. [17:22.080 --> 17:27.600] New media on the web ran up against older school media. In this case, including the company we [17:27.600 --> 17:33.280] work for, and a fight over a bill aimed at preventing internet piracy, critics say it [17:33.280 --> 17:37.200] will lead somehow to censorship and BC's Kevin Tippel's reports. [17:38.880 --> 17:45.680] Wikipedia pulled the plug for 24 hours. All done to protest against the stop online privacy act [17:45.680 --> 17:52.480] or sopa. Now before Congress, this bill puts together the infrastructure for censorship in [17:52.480 --> 17:57.280] a way that's completely unnecessary to combat piracy. Those in the media industry supporting [17:57.280 --> 18:04.640] regulation, including NBC Universal, claim online piracy, cost some $135 billion a year, [18:04.640 --> 18:11.040] and steals 2.5 million jobs worldwide. Your father's counterfitting was people selling cheap [18:11.040 --> 18:17.120] knockoffs on street quarters. Today, those same criminal enterprises sell these products online. [18:17.120 --> 18:22.560] Duke consumers, they aimed a block for in websites that infringes on copyrights from movies [18:22.560 --> 18:29.120] and television to music, publishing, software, and consumer products. Even material on YouTube [18:29.120 --> 18:34.400] could be affected. Not so long ago, much of our information came from these. But in the last [18:34.400 --> 18:39.520] decade or so, the proliferation of the internet has made ownership of this information very [18:39.520 --> 18:46.240] difficult to police. But the online revolt against Sopa has grown to include some 7,000 websites, [18:46.240 --> 18:51.200] including the tech site wired online magazine Boeing Boeing and Mozilla, [18:51.200 --> 18:57.520] maker of the popular browser Firefox. Google blacked out its own familiar home page today, [18:57.520 --> 19:02.800] adding the message, tell Congress, please don't censor the web. Many in Congress today took [19:02.800 --> 19:08.080] note, here's NBC's Kelli O'Donnell. Both Democrats and Republicans have been bombarded with [19:08.080 --> 19:13.360] calls and emails and many are now backing off. Just ask any group of college kids and they'll tell [19:13.360 --> 19:18.400] you, there are a lot of people who think, well, why pay for it. If the prices to outrageous, [19:18.400 --> 19:23.280] it's probably going to get hired. It also didn't take them long to discover hitting a scape [19:23.280 --> 19:30.560] reopens the Wikipedia site. These days, information does travel fast. Kevin Tibbles NBC News, [19:30.560 --> 19:37.360] Chicago. Up next here tonight, the new list of best and words airports and an American legend [19:37.360 --> 19:48.640] taking on a new challenge. When BP made a commitment to the golf, we knew it would take time, [19:48.640 --> 19:54.000] but we would determine to see it through. Today, while our work continues, I want to update you [19:54.000 --> 20:00.000] on the progress. BP has set aside $20 billion to fund economic and environmental recovery. [20:00.720 --> 20:06.320] We're paying for all spill-related clean-up costs, and we've established a $500 million fund, [20:06.320 --> 20:10.880] so independent scientists can study the golf's wildlife and environment for 10 years. [20:12.080 --> 20:17.200] Thousands of environmental samples from across the golf have been analyzed by independent labs [20:17.200 --> 20:23.360] under the direction of the US Coast Guard. I'm glad to report all beaches and waters are open [20:23.360 --> 20:29.440] for everyone to enjoy. And the economy is showing progress, with many areas on the golf [20:29.440 --> 20:37.520] coasts having their best tourism seasons and years. I was born here. I'm still here and so is BP, [20:37.520 --> 20:42.000] we're committed to the golf for everyone who loves it and everyone who calls the home.

Not of the best beaches are best travel destinations as they usually do. [22:53.440 --> 22:58.640] This time it's the best and worst airport terminals in the world. The most beautiful according [22:58.640 --> 23:03.840] to them, Jeddah and Saudi Arabia. And there's one U.S. terminal in the top five, [23:03.840 --> 23:11.520] the iconic terminal five in New York's JFK. But JFK deservedly gets it on the other end as well. [23:11.520 --> 23:17.520] Worst terminal in the world, terminal three at Kennedy described as dank crowded and confusing. [23:17.520 --> 23:22.400] They say there's evidence. The cleaning crew gave up and despair a while ago. [23:22.400 --> 23:28.560] LaGuardia's terminal C is seventh worst in their top 10 list. We put the entire list on our website. [23:29.520 --> 23:34.560] Speaking of JFK, perhaps you remember the horror stories from the two different elderly women [23:34.560 --> 23:40.080] who claimed they were stripped searched in separate incidents around the holidays by the TSA. [23:40.080 --> 23:45.760] Today, the feds admitted wrongdoing and apologized to both women. In one case, they admitted [23:45.760 --> 23:52.560] to examining her colostomy bag. But even after the apology, both women say the TSA is lying in [23:52.560 --> 23:58.000] the final report. Both say they were asked to remove articles of clothing in a private screening [23:58.000 --> 24:02.800] area. Now to an image getting a lot of attention. A night it shows a couple of prominent American [24:02.800 --> 24:08.240] citizens. Two people, a lot of folks look up to. But today, it was the Secretary of State. It was [24:08.240 --> 24:13.840] doing the looking up a Kareemab dual jibbar and B.A.'s all-time leading scorer, jazz, efficient [24:13.840 --> 24:19.680] auto-author.

[27:07.120 --> 27:12.480] Next set six another milestone for Apple investing in our future from high speed rail to [27:12.480 --> 27:16.960] schools. The governor laying out his plan for the state and turning the profit off the 49ers [27:16.960 --> 27:22.720] are people trying to cash in for the big game. This week, we've been covering the cruise [27:22.720 --> 27:27.920] ship disaster in Italy and asking how it could have happened. And right about now, it's time [27:27.920 --> 27:33.360] to ask what happens next. How do you move a cruise ship that is currently lying on its side [27:33.360 --> 27:40.720] in the water? Our report from NBC's Mark Potter. Even for Salvers with years of experience, [27:40.720 --> 27:45.440] the huge ship concordia presents a daunting challenge. How big a job is this going to be? [27:45.440 --> 27:50.160] This is a very big job. Bob Amdenstock of the Resolve Marine Group in Fort Lauderdale [27:50.160 --> 27:56.000] has worked 40 years in salvage operations. He believes removing the cruise ship could easily take [27:56.000 --> 28:03.760] more than a year. It could possibly be as difficult a job as anybody has ever attempted. [28:03.760 --> 28:08.880] The first concerns he said are for the victims. Workers safety and the environment as fuel is [28:08.880 --> 28:14.720] removed. Then after complex engineering studies and a temp could be made to write the ship [28:14.720 --> 28:20.320] perhaps with a technique called parbuckling. Parbuckling involves rolling the ship up [28:20.320 --> 28:25.040] right. Notice a roll it up right. You have to apply forces that induce that rolling. [28:25.600 --> 28:29.760] If the ship is parbuckled, chains attached to the top of the ship would be pulled with [28:29.760 --> 28:34.480] tugboats or barges. Other chains attached to the bottom of the ship would be pulled in the [28:34.480 --> 28:40.240] opposite direction. A third set of chains attached to land would keep the ship from moving away. [28:40.240 --> 28:45.200] The next challenge would be to ensure the ship floats. By pumping out water, plugging holes [28:45.200 --> 28:51.280] of necessary and sealing off damage compartments. I think it's doable but for what I know, [28:51.280 --> 28:55.840] certainly it has been done before with other ships and other circumstances. [28:55.840 --> 29:00.240] A French cruise ship the Normandy rolled over in New York Harbor during World War II, [29:00.240 --> 29:05.120] just like the Concordia. With a lot of work salvers were able to raise it.
