Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. Jordans King Abdullah ii hurried to the white house tonight after what appears to be the savage execution of a Jordanian Air force pilot who was might fooiting in the u. S. Led coalition against isis. Jordanians had been holding vigils for the 26yearold who fell into the hands of the Islamic Terrorist Group when his plane went down in syria christmas eve. Today, isis put out this video showing the pilot in an orange jumpsuit. Then, hes murdered, not a beheading this time, but something equally cruel and inhuman. Hes set on fire. Were not going to be showing you that. We dont know when the execution was carried out, but isis chose to release the video just as jordans king was in washington. And Holly Williams has been covering isis from the beginning. She joins us tonight in northern iraq. Holly, what can you tell us about the video . Reporter well, scott its a highly produced video including graphics and multiple camera angles. It runs about 22 minutes, at the end of which the pilot is locked in a cage and then burned to death. Now, the extremists actually quote a 14th century religious text which says that disfigurement is an acceptable form of execution. And thats, apparently, an attempt to justify this murder. The pilot is also shown with the extremists being led through what they say is destruction caused by u. S. Led air strikes. And the message there for all muslim countries that have sided with the u. S. Against isis is very clear, that the extremists intend to punish their governments and their citizens. Pelley and the reaction in jordan tonight . Reporter well, scott the jordanian nation has been in agony over the last few days. Jordan, which is a schtaun u. S. Ally actually offered to release a failed female suicide bomber who is on death row in return for the pilot and in doing so jordan became the first country to publicly negotiate with isis. And that raised hopes in jordan and in other countries that it might be possible to successfully negotiate with isis. Instead, though, muath alkaseasbeh has suffered this horrendous death. Tonight, the jordanian military said his death will not go unpunished. Pelley Holly Williams covering the breaking news for us from northern iraq. Holly, thank you. Michael morell is the former number two at the c. I. A. Hes now Senior Security contributor here at cbs news. Michael, assuming that theyre not just simply psychopaths what is it that isis is trying to accomplish by provoking jordan . Scott, i think theyre trying to send two messages. One is that they will not be intimidated by the west, by the Coalition High technology. Its interesting the number of aircraft f16s that are shown in this video. So i think theyre sending the message that they will continue on, no matter what we throw at them. Pelley are these tactics working for them . Scott, i dont think so. I think the first beheading that they did was what brought the International Community together. The first time, and i think this will likely backfire, too. I think there will be an outcry internationally, and they will not, they will not succeed in intimidating the west here. Pelley some of us in the newsroom have had a look at this video and what strikes us is its nearhollywood quality in the production. I wonder if that tells you anything. Scott, it is the besvt ie seen. It is madison avenue quality. Theyve gotten better and better. They were good at the beginning. I think what this shows is the value of the westerners who have joined isis. I think those fighters from western europe, those fighters from canada, those few fighters from the united states, i think theyre bringing those skills with them to iraq and syria and i think thats what you see in this video. Pelley this may be a little simplistic but it is what everybody is think ago why cant we get these guys . Scott, it is not easy to pinpoint individuals at a particular time and a particular point in the earth. Im absolutely certain were working on that, but it takes quite a bit of time. Pelley Michael Morell in our washington newsroom, former number two at the c. I. A. And now cbs news consultant. Michael, thank you. As we mentioned jordans King Abdullah ii met tonight with president obama. The king called the murder an act of cowardly terror. In september in an interview for 60 minutes, abdullah said this about the leader of isis, abu bakr albaghdadia, who claims to lead the entire muslim world. What does the leader of ice, al baghdadi daddy represent . Not islam at all. There are no linkages to anything i have heard this man say with our religion or any religion. I hate to use the word heretics consult or whatever the words of those types are but to even call himself muslim to me is just the words i dont particularly want to use on this program. Pelley he is an islamic heretic. I think to use the word islam and him in the same sentence is not acceptable. He that he even speaks in the name of islam for me is so horrendous and so shocking. Pelley King Abdullah ii of jordan who is cutting his trip short to washington and heading home. Now to another important story the Measles Outbreak paps of tonight, at least 131 cases have been reported in 14 states. Also spreading is the debate over mandatory vaccinations. Nancy cordes is following this. I do believe that all children ought to be vaccined. Reporter Republican Leaders were in lockstep today. As a victim of polio myself, im a big fan of vaccinations. Reporter one day after Kentucky Republican and eye doctor rand paul said this ive heard of many tragic cases of walking talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. Reporter pauls fellow president ial hopefuls made it clear they do not share his views. Florida senator marco rubio there is absolutely no medical science or data whatsoever that links toes vaccinations to onset of autism or anything of that nature. Reporter louisiana governor bobby jindal didnt mention paul by name but said, i think it is irresponsible for leaders to undermine the publics confidence in vaccinations. Even new jersey governor chris christie, who initially said parents need to have some measure of choice put out a second statement saying, there is no question kids should be vaccinationed. The mixed messages left an opening for possible democratic candidate Hillary Clinton who tweeted, the science is clear the earth is round the sky is blue, and vaccines work. Adding grandmother knows best. I remember the measles. It was bad. Reporter and at a flu hearing in the house, several republicans spoke up, including tennessees marsha blackburn. This is far too serious an issue to be treated as a political football. People still die. Reporter late this afternoon, senator paul said he was being misinterpreted and he tweeted a photo of himself getting a booster shot today. He argued that all children, in fact, should be vaccinated and the benefits far outweigh the risks. Scott. Pelley nancy cordes on capitol hill for us, nancy thank you. It was a financial contagion an epidemic of bad mortgages that set off the great recession. Today, starnt poors opened up to its role. They 43ed to pay nearly 1. 4 billion in penalties, and it admitted that it gave top ratings to Mortgage Investments that it knew were likely to default. Oil and gas prices have made a uturn. Theyre on the way up again. Today alone oil was up 3. 50 closing at 53 a barrel. And gasoline, down 123 Straight Days has climbed now to a nationwide average 2. 07 a gallon. We asked Dean Reynolds to find out where this is headed. Reporter for chicago plumber john baethke the last six months of plunging prices at the pump have been a boon to his bottom line. You went from 100 a week to about 50. Reporter 50 a week per truck. Per truck. Reporter and how many trucks . Seven. Reporter the three cent increase in the price at the pump over the last week doesnt seriously worry him yet. The fear is its going to get back up to 4plus dollars a gallon, make 5. Reporter the current rise in gas prices is the first sustained increase since september 25, the annual transition from winter to summer grade blend of gasolines always adds a few dollars to service station visits because its expensive to do and a strike by Union Steel Workers now seeking better pay at several refineries may add cost and uncertainty to the mix. But experts who track the oil industry are not alarmed. Its hardly even noise at this stage of the game. Reporter diane swonk, chief economist for mesirow financial, predicts a gradual price rise will continue for the rest of the year but will still remain well below recent peaks. That is extraordinary windfall to anyone who uses oil. Reporter windfall or not john baethke has resisted an impulse to expand his business or hire more workers. The price of gas he says, can always go back up. Youre basically cautious about whats happening right now. Certainly. Oh yeah, were cautious. We watch it. And right now were just enjoying the the little hiatus of the high prices. Reporter nowrng its important to keep this all in context, scott. While the current price of a gallon of gasoline nationally is about 2. 0 7 a year ago this time, it was 3. 28. Pelley what goes down much come up, dean, thank you very much. Now a few odds and ends on the economy. Today, the dow rose more than 300 points. The sch s p was up 29. Car sales are up. The big three had doubledigit gains in january, usual lets a slow month. G.

Reporter an investigator today confirmed that arrest warrants were found for the president and the foreign minister in the trash at Alberto Nismans apartment. Nisman was found did the deadwith a bull tote his head the night before he was due to present his case for the president s arrest to parliament. He believed the government had covered up irans alleged role in a deadly 1994 terror attack in return for a deal for iranian oil. Nismans unsolved death has unnerved this country and few argentineans believe he committed suicide. The president had complicated matters by accusing rogue spies of killing nisman. Horacio verbitsky is president of argentinas center for legal and social studies. There is promiscuous relationship between the spies and judiciary. Reporter what do you mean promiscuous . This means that there are interming, and this is not sane. Reporter president kircnener is on a trade mission in china and has not commented on the draft of the warrant for her arrest.
