There was the start of the 2016 president ial campaign, and a pair of deadly terror attacks in paris. [ explosion ] multiple attacks in the city of paris. Many are dead. Many are wounded. The bataclan is where the greatest massacre happened. A whole night of violence. France is today a country at war. U. S. Offifials are calling the attacks a game changer. This is an attack on all of humanity. They hit six sites, and in the span of just 32 minutes, darkness fell on the city of light. [ gunfire ] this was an attack on our very way of life. Thisisas an attack on the way the west lives. Theyre going to publish as normal. Could an attack like paris happen here in the u. S. . On a couple of levels. This was supposed to be a happy occasion, but it turned into an active shooter scene. The two gunmen were killed in a shootout with police just hours after the rampage. I cant get my head around the fact that a 27yearold mother of a 16monthold is firing off as many rounds as she is. I think the entire event doesnt make a whole lot of sense to be honest with you.

Emergency crews are flying to and from the crash site. An unthinkable act of suicide and mass murder. The boat is overcrowded and the greek coastline is still around five miles in that direction. Migrants have been pouring into this area. The troops are pushing us back, and theyve closed the border on both sides. Explosions had the power of 21 tons of tnt.

The biggest celebration of all was at the crossroads of the world, new york citys times square. Upwards of a Million People jajaed into the square f f an evening of fun and music. Of course, the dropping of the crystal ball, bringing out with the old and in with the new.

Soldiers fanned out across the city and workers dismantled the was to go on. After the arrest of two men suspected of planning holiday attacks. Some think it was an overreaction. I think its backing down to the threat of terrorism. I think we should stand up and just make everything happen. Reporter but belgians are edgy. This week, Police Arrested yet another suspect with links to the paris attacks in molenbeek, a brussels suburb that was home to two of the other attackers. And one of them, salah abdeslam, is still on the loose. Still, new years eve is for celebration, says this Brussels Club owner.

The turks too have arrested two men they say were planning to bomb crowded areas in ankara bill cosby is free on a Million Dollars bail after his arraignment on a sex abuse charge dating back nearly a dozen years. He was charged about a month before the statute of limitations would have run out. Cosbys lawyer calls the arrest a political stunt by the local prosecutor. Jericka duncan is outside the courthouse just outside of philadelphia. Reporter two attorneys at his side, bill cosby carefully stepped out of a black suv wednesday to Face Criminal Charges of sexual assault. Mr. C cby, do you want to say anything . Reporter gripping a cane, the 78yearold stumbled on the curb as he was led into the courthouse in elkins park, pennsylvania. The accusations that landed him here date back to 2004, when former Temple University employee Andrea Constand says cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in his pennsylvania homom gave her three brew pills he claimed we are herbal. Within half hour she says she experienced blurred vision and difficulty speaking. Mr. Cosby urged her to take the pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. The effect of which rendered her unable to move or respond to his advances. Reporter constand says she awoke the next morning partially undressed. Cosby gave her a muffin, walked to the front door, opened it and said all right. At the time, the District Attorney said there was not enough evidence to charge cosby. In 2005, constand filed a civil suit which was later settled privately. But this past july, investigators decided to reopen the case after a judge unsealed portions of depositions which cosby admitted to giving drugs to at least one woman. Constands attorney asked cosby, when you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for sex with . Cosby replied yes. He later said he misunderstood the question. Its sad for his legal team, for his family, that he would be dragged through this. Were 12 years in, 12 years after an alleged assault that was fully investigated. Reporter cosby is due back in Court Next Month for a preliminary hearing.

Reporter mexican officials deported tonya couch for being in the country illegally, while ethan is going through a more complicated deportation process that could keep hihithere for several weeks. S. The couches have legal counsel, and it seems to me that if they wanted to, they could pay as much money as they want to, to drag this out as much as they wanted to. Video captured the pair before they were taken into custody. Couch killed four people in a drunk driving accident in 2013. His defense argued that he suffered from the contntversial condition, affluenza, claiming his lack of responsibility was the result of his privileged upbringing.

I cant get my head around the fact that a 27yearold mother of a 6monthold is firing off as many rounds as she is. I think the entire event doesnt make a whole lot of sense to be honest with you.

The biggest celebration of all was at the crossroads of them all, new york citys times square. Upwards of a Million People jammed into the square for an evening of fun and music. Of course, the dropping of the crystal ball, bringing out with the old and in with the new. Overseas, a massive fire broke out in a high rise hotel in dubai just hours before the midnight fireworks, which went on as scheduled. The show in brussels was a new years eve terror plot and security was tight at celebrations around the world. Elizabeth palmer reports now from ronald. Reporter not even terrorist threats could keep europeans from ringing in the new. From moscow to berlin. Although everywhere, security was heavy. Especially paris, where terrorists truck twice this year. There, the president himself appeared with some of the 11,000 soldiers on duty. It was a photoop designed to reassurere residents and visitors. Were not really scared about it. We want to enjoy it. Weve never been here new years eve, and its magical. Reporter but the magic was scaled back a little. There were no fireworks this year, and the Traditional Party will wrap up earlier than usual. In brussels, the official party was canceled. Soldiers fanned out across the stage where the new years show was to go on. After the arrest of two men suspected of planning holiday attacks. Some think it was an overreaction. I think its backing down to the threat of terrorism. I think we should stand up and just make everything happen. Reporter but belgians are edgy. This week, Police Arrested yet another suspect with links to the paris attacks in molenbeek, a brussels suburb that was home to two of the other attackers. And one of them, salah abdeslam, is still on the loose. Still, new years eve is for celebration, says this Brussels Club owner. I believe the people of brussels need to party and gather and to bond together. Reporter and it wasnt only the Belgian Police who discovered evidence of a new years terrorist attack. The turks too have arrested two men they say were planning to tonight. Bill cosby is free on a Million Dollars bail after his arraignment on a sex abuse charge dating back nearly a dozen years. He was charged about a month before the statute of limitations would have run out. Cosbys lawyer calls the arrest a political stunt by the local prosecutor. Jericka duncan is outside the courthouse just outside of philadelphia. Reporter two attorneys at his side, bill cosby carefully stepped out of a black suv wednesday to Face Criminal Charges of sexual assault. Mr. Cosby, do you want to say anything . Reporter gripping a crane, the 78yearold stumbled on the curb as he was led into the courthouse. The accusations that led him here date back to 2004, when former Temple University employee Andrea Constand says cosby drugged and sexually according to thecomplaint, he gave her three blue bills and within half hour she says she experienced blurred vision and difficulty speaking. Mr. Cosby urged her to take the pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. The effect of which rendered her unable to move or respond to his advances. Reporter constand say she woke the morning partially undressed. At the time, the District Attorney said there was not enough evidence to charge cosby. In 2005, constand filed a civil suit which was later settled privately. But this past july, investigators decided too reopen the case after a judge unseseed portions of depositions which cosby admitted to giving drugs to at least one woman. Constands attorney asked cosby, when you got the quaaludes, was going to use these quaaludes for young women you wanted to have sex with . Cosby replied yes. He later said he misunderstood the question. Its sad for his legal team, for his family, that he would be dragged through this. Were 12 years in, 12 years after an alleged assault that was fully investigated. Reporter cosby is due back in Court Next Month for a preliminary hearing. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison and a 25,000 fine. The mother of ethan couch has been charged with hindering the apprehension of a felon. The charges were lodged in texas.

On monday, mexican immigration officials detained the pair, calling for theirir deportation. According toto. S. Marshals, the mother and son obtained local representation, who filed a protection order or an appeal. Its a request that the court issue an order to stop the proceedings. Reporter mexican officials deported tonya couch for being in the country illegally, while ethan is going through a more complicated deportation process that could keep him there foror several weeks. The couches have legal counsel, and it seems to me that if they wanted to, they could pay as much money as they want to, to drag this out as much as reporter earlier this week, video captured the pair before they were taken into custody. Couch killed four people in a drunk driving accident in 2013. His defense argued that he suffered from the controversial condition, affluenza, claiming his lack of responsibility was the result of his privileged upbringing.
