Deal has been signed, that peace is possible, though the protesters are not backing down until the future is clear. And these pictures say it all. This was kiev, independent square one week ago. And here it is tonight. In ruins. Abcs Hamish Macdonald right there in the middle of it all. So, tell us what it is like right now. Reporter diane, its eerie just walking the streets of this capital tonight. There is so much uncertainty about what happens next. The president we can tell you, has left the capital, hes in the east of the country, his traditional power base, but really, much of his powers have been stripped from him today. As well as that, his biggest political rival will soon be released from prison. News of a deal today means little on these barricades. You know, like they say in ukraine, victory or death. Reporter thats how you feel . Victim or death . Yes. Reporter hes 27 and an accountant. He said its simple. I have two kids and i want those kids to have better life. Ukrainians do not fight for any politicians, we fight for a better life. Reporter so many like him are fighting to end corruption. For human rights. To bring down the president s accused of building his own fortunes. Instead of building their future. Its a battle that america has watched closely. Still loyal to putin, this man was forced to accept less power. The release of his political rival from prison. And crucially new elections, but not until the end of this year. If you want to go, go, go, go tomorrow. Go for next week, next month. Reporter you want it to happen now . Yeah. Why we need to wait . Reporter yesterday was a brutal and bloody battle. Today, for some, its too soon for compromise. If you need any evidence of how committed they are to staying here, to digging in and fighting, its this molotov cocktails, boxes of them, and they line the barricade all of the way up. They fill them with gasoline. It becomes an instant flaming projectile. Its their best defense against government snipers, who spent yesterday picking off targets. With lethal precision. Old divisions here are finding a new voice. Lenin stands tall in squares across the country. Enduring symbol of moscows influence. Today, he came crashing down. Tonight, a cell phone vigil. In the digital age, mourning needs no candles. Tears are shed by mothers and fathers for those lost and for their revolution, not quite complete. The two biggest players really in this situation are the u. S. President and the russian president , they just had a phone call in the past few hours, they say they remain committed to this country and preventing a return to violence. But given how much influence Vladimir Putin has, really the focus is on him for now. Thats right, everybody waiting for his next move. Thank you. And now from ukraine to south america, and another global hot spot, venezuela, today, another round of antigovernment protests in several cities there, and from behind bars, the Opposition Leader accused of inciting violence, urging demonstrators to continue their fight. This week, thousands of people taking part in rallies, clashing with troops and riot police. At least five people have been killed. Protesters expressing anger over the rise in crime and the bad economy. And next, we move here to russia, where the olympics are beginning to wrap up in sochi. Today, more heartbreak for american hockey stars and more debate over that figure skating decision. Did the gold medal winner really have the right stuff . Abcs matt gutman decided to break it down. Reporter russias Adelina Sotnikova wobbled for gold as south koreas yuna kim seemed to whisper across the ice for just silver. The question today is, why . One theory technical excellence. Opening with her triple lutz combination. Reporter while every one of kims 11 jumps appeared flawless, sotnikova took more risks and her combinations like this one were more difficult. Watch again. So much speed required to soar into those 21 2 rotations, and then launch right into that triple, three spins high above the ice. Sotnikova had the same number of jumps as kim, but seven of hers were in the final two minutes, when judges award bonus points because a skaters legs are so tired. Enough for gold . Or was there something sinister at play . Of the nine judges, four are from former soviet bloc nations. Russia, ukraine, estonia and slovakia, and heading up the Technical Panel in charge of scoring spins and jumps, the Vice President of the russian figure skating committee. How is it possible that the technical controller is the Vice President of the Russian Skating Federation . This sport is full of conflicts of interest, and every four years it bubbles to the surface and everyone is just shocked at what they see. But this is business as usual for figure skating. Reporter from controversy in one rink to agony in another. The u. S. Mens hockey team dreams of gold dashed by the canadas hockey team. Canada edging out the u. S. Women yesterday. Watch this gutwrencher. A lucky shot that sends the puck skittering towards an empty net and a u. S. Victory, but no, it bounces off a post. Half an inch one way, maybe this would be a different story. Reporter but a Silver Lining on the slopes tonight with a golden outcome for the u. S. 18yearold american mikaela shiffrin, one of the few phenoms here, living up to her hype, becoming the youngest champion in slalom in olympic history. Diane . Heading into the last days, thank you, matt. Millions of americans are scanning the horizon right now. On the lookout for twisters, tornado watches stretching from the midwest to the gulf, and over to the east coast. As the next big chill is also now marching in, the new polar vortex. Abcs alex perez is watching it all for us. Reporter tornado terror. Watch as this twister tears apart chris waters farm shed. Within seconds, 32 years of hard work gone. That is a tornado on the ground. Oh, boy. Reporter waters returned today. Reality still setting in. It seems the weather has been relentless. Yeah, weve pushed snow or thawed ice all winter long and now this hits. Reporter the winds so strong, look here, driving the teeth of this farming equipment right through this metal wall. At least a dozen possible tornadoes reported in the five states. Tearing apart buildings like cardboard boxes. In minnesota, snow was the problem, watch these cars struggle. On i55 in illinois, the highway so slick, this man driving just 5 Miles Per Hour still veered off the road. Tried to control it, but bam, i wound up here. Reporter thursdays middle temperatures leading to massive snow melts and flooding. In riverside, illinois, some yards so inundated, the water stretches all of the way to the front door. In south, strong winds and dark clouds. In alabama, this dog rescued from a stormbattered home. And in georgia, uprooting and slamming trees into homes. Definitely freaked us out. Scared the children. Reporter in the last 24 hours, more than 550 reports of Severe Weather and were not done. Next, more winter cold, a chunk of the polar vortex creeping downward, bringing freezing temperatures as far south as the gulf. Alex perez, abc news, mechanicsburg, illinois. And this weather has already brought another round of travel headaches. Today, more than 1500 flights were canceled across the country. And for the week, more than 6,000 flights canceled. 35,000 delayed. And next, right here tonight, theres a battle under way, a duel between two articles of faith in america religious freedom and freedom from discrimination. A question, should a business be allowed to turn away someone because of their Sexual Orientation . Abcs cecilia vega on the thorny debate in arizona tonight. Reporter protests overnight in arizona the Gay Community saying it is blatantly discriminated against by a bill that allows businesses to refuse service to customers based on personal religious beliefs. They need to keep their religious philosophies in their churches. It just seems like its setting up an environment for hate. Reporter a baker, for example, who opposes samesex marriage on religious grounds, could refuse service to a gay couple that wants to buy a cake. The state Legislature Passed the bill, but not without a fiery debate. This is simply protecting religious freedom that is recognized and defended and supported in the First Amendment that the founders wanted, nothing else. Theres only one type of equality. And its equal. Reporter 21 states have laws specifically prohibiting a business from discriminating based on Sexual Orientation. States like kansas, ohio, and idaho have tried to pass laws similar to arizonas and failed. Utah is considering one. To the bakers like the klines its about religious freedom. He refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple in oregon. I believe in what the bible says and thats how i feel about it. Reporter the state investigated a discrimination claim and, ultimately, the bakery shut down after the public backlash. Id rather stand up for what i believe in, than to bow down to this. Reporter as the backlash in arizona goes on, the bill is now on governor jan brewers desk, shes vetoed similar bills in the past. But hasnt said whether shell sign this one into law. Cecilia vega, abc news, los angeles. And today in washington, proof its never too late to do the right thing. We learned today that 24 veterans will receive the medal of honor next month, the nations highest award for combat valor. And 19 of them are heroes who were passed over for decades because of their heritage or race. Hispanic, jewish, africanamerican, warriors who were victims of discrimination. And by the way, one of them, a former private first class was jewish and his name was leonard kravitz, uncle of the singer who bears his name. Only three of those heroes are alive today to hear this news. And also in washington today, president obama sat down with the dalai lama, even though china had warned that the meeting would do serious harm to u. S. chinese relations. They accused the dalai lama of supporting independence for tibetans. The dalai lama denies his work is political. And the president reiterated support for the people of tibet. And now, this week, the very social scientists at gallup went prospecting for happiness, specifically, which is the happiest state in the United States . And this year, paradise was not what you think. No palm trees here. Abcs Neal Karlinsky tells us. Reporter if youre thinking beautiful sandy beaches, perfect weather and a reputation as a virtual paradise make hawaii the happiest state it the nation youd be wrong. It turns out north dakota is the new champion of the annual Gallup Healthways wellbeing index. Yes, north dakota, the state known for the movie fargo, cold weather and general emptiness until the recent oil boom transformed it. We met one of its happy newly minted oil tycoons on a previous trip. So these are all your check stubs so far here . Yeah, yeah. Once a month, you get this in the mail, and you spend it. Reporter hawaii, reigning champion for the last five years, has dropped all the way to eighth. Something that even has some North Dakotans scratching their heads. It surprises me a little bit, especially that its so cold like, how could you be that happy here . But i could see it, like, we have a very nice community. Reporter the poll is based on the results of interviews with 176,000 people in every state, inquiring about overall health, employment, education and the local environment. But we wondered, oil boom money aside, what are we missing . Is life really that good in north dakota . Theres a lot of good people here. Reporter move over hawaii, north dakota may be cold, but boy, are they happy over there. Neal karlinsky, abc news, los angeles. Lets hear it for the dakotas.

And next here tonight, the roadside miracle. Did you see this harrowing photo everywhere today . The desperate woman on the side of the expressway performing cpr and breathing life back into her 5monthold nephew. Abcs chief medical editor dr. Richard besser now takes us behind those photos, to show us what to do when every second counts. Reporter Pamela Rauseo panicked. Driving in a traffic jam on a miami highway, she had glanced over at her 5monthold nephew, sebastian, he was blue, not breathing. It really was the scariest moment of my life. Reporter she pulled to the side, tried to dial 911, then jumped out on the highway. I had the baby in my arms, and he was completely limp, and i kept screaming for help and pointing to the baby. Reporter traffic stopped, people poured out of their cars to help, but pamela wasnt waiting. Acting on instinct, she started cpr. She had taken a cpr course seven years ago. Within moments, she got baby sebastian to breathe again. But, would you know what to do . Most babies, like sebastian, arent having a heart attack. Theyre having a breathing problem. If you cover their nose and mouth with your own, and puff some air in, like this, they often start breathing on their own. If not, press on the middle of their chest with just two of your fingers, stopping every 30 seconds to breathe. The bottom line for babies, the most important thing, blow air into their mouths. It is likely to revive them. For adults, its different. Since most likely its their heart thats having the problem. So push hard, and fast, on their chest and keep it up. And heres a trick, push to the rhythm of stayin alive to keep them alive. As for baby sebastian, the rescue squad took him to the hospital. I honestly i dont know how i remembered what to do. I just knew i couldnt let him die. I couldnt let him die. My sister trusted me with his life. Reporter today, sebastian is awake, pink and being monitored in the hospital. The baby is still under very close medical observation but we anticipate hes going to be doing much better. Recuperating and lucky to have an aunt who had taken a cpr class. So much admiration for her. How strongly do you breathe into the babys nose and mouth . And how strongly do you push . Its really important, when youre doing those breaths, you want, out of the corner of your eye you want to look at the chest, if the chest is moving up then youre doing it right. Then, when youre pushing on the chest, you want to go down a good inch and a half. More than most people think, with two fingers. Two fingers. Just get the pressure on the heart and the blood flowing. And will resuscitate the baby. Its lifesaving to know how to do this. Thank you so much, rich, tonight. When we come back right here were going to show you a tiny dog with determination to make the most of the winter weather, because its our friday instant index. My dad has aor afib. Brillation, he has the most common kind. Its not caused by a heart valve problem. Dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. Thats why i take my warfarin every day. But it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. In a clinical trial, pradaxa® Dabigatran Etexilate mesylate . Was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. And unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. Hey thanks for calling my doctor. Sure. Pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. Stopping increases your risk of stroke. Ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. Pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. Dont take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. Seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if youre 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners. Or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctors about all medicines you take. Pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. If you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem. Ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.
