This is the cbs evening news with jeff glor. Duncan good evening and happy new year. Jeff is off tonight. Im jericka duncan. This is our western edition. Its hard to imagine a colder start to a year.

Omaha, nebraska, set a new years day record at 20 degrees below zero and williston, north dakota, minus 31. Well have much more on the forecast in a moment, but we begin with a new effort to address an issue that has dominated recent headlines Sexual Harassment. Dozens of highprofile men have been publicly shamed. Now chief Justice John Roberts tos announced a new initiative to protect judicial employees from harassment. Heres our chief Legal Correspondent jan crawford. Reporter the announcement comes just two weeks after alex kozinski, a prominent federal mipeals court judge, stepped down amid wideranging allegations of Sexual Harassment of female law clerks. In a Washington Post investigation, several female law clerks alleged a pattern of inappropriate behavior by kozinski, including showing them pornography. On december 18, kozinski, after 30 years on the californiabased d. Peals court, abruptly retired. But kozinski had been reprimanded before in 2008 he apologized for storing sexually explicit material on a publicly iacessible website. Hl told lesley stahl last year on 60 minutes he should have been more careful. I had a bunch of stuff in the computer, and i didnt lock it up. Reporter raunchy stuff . Some of it was raunchy. Reporter roberts announcement came in his annual report on the state of the judiciary. He said events in recent months have illuminated the problem of Sexual Harassment in the mmrkplace and without naming kozinski said, events in the tst few weeks have made clear the judiciary is not immune. Roberts said the judiciary would undertake a careful evaluation of its standards of conduct and procedures for handling nerassment complaints. He directed a new working group to consider whether any changes are necessary. These concerns warrant serious attention from all quarters of the judicial branch, roberts wrote. Duncan now, jan, how exactly will this affect federal judges . Well, i mean, most Appeals Court judges have young clerks, and theyre also bound by ldnfidentiality agreements, so that could keep people from coming forward. In fact, last month about 700 current and former law clerks and Court Employees sent a letter to chief justice roberts, and they called for changes in how the judiciary handles Sexual Harassment complaints, and they ticused specifically on these issues of confidentiality and reporting misconduct. Duncan jan crawford in osshington, thank you. Today 300 of hollywoods most powerful women announced plans to fight systemic Sexual Harassment.

Investigators, in eralizing that russia might be attempting to interfere significantly in the u. S. Election. Jericka . Duncan chip reid, thank you very much. Rte president has also been tweeting his support for protesters in iran. They have taken to the streets for five straight days, fed up with a bad economy and government corruption. State media says 12 people have been killed. Elizabeth palmer covered the last big protests in iran in 2009. Nde joins us from london. You know, whats behind the unrest . Reporter well, it started very small. On thursday in the regional city of machad with a single demonstration against economic hardship, especially the price of food, but overnight it just morphed and spread like wildfire to the capital, tehran, where crowds vandalized one of the main shopping avenues, and to dozens of smaller cities across the country, which is very unusual. The protesters are especially young people and the working poor, and theyre angry about everything from corruption and oemployment to lack of freedom and religious rule. The police have broken up protests here and there with utter cannons and they have arrested hundreds of people, but we have not yet in any way seen the kind of violent crackdown we saw in 2009 when the security rorces shot and killed people in the street for protesting the election results. Duncan and liz, how have authorities handled the protests this time . On reporter president hassan rohany, who is a moderate, went on television yesterday with a berprisingly measured response. He said people had a legitimate right to protest as long as , ere was no violence. That may have been a warning to the security forces, too. This is a volatile, dangerous situation, and he knows that a lethal crackdown could send it ouiraling out of control. It could become a bloodbath. Duncan Elizabeth Palmer in london, thank you. President trump has signaled hes willing to extend intoections for young immigrants y,ought into this country illegally, but on one condition. Last week he tweeted, there can ne no daca without the bsperately needed wall at the southern border. But do walls really work . Mark phillips went to berlin to find out. At this point you would have been in the car coming this way. Reporter if anybody knows anything about walls, its probably hanspeter spitzner. W you would have approached checkpoint charlie. The first time spitzner was at checkpoint charlie was when he and his daughter peggy would be rle last people to escape across the berlin wall before it fell. It was a great danger for us, and i thought a thousand things in my head. Reporter its a tourist attraction now, but from its building by the old east german regime in 1961, the wall was a death zone for almost three fcades. While around 5,000 people escaped across, through, over, or under it, at least 139 died trying. Some death estimates run to well over 1,000. But hanspeter was desperate. And this is the car i crossed the border. Reporter the car was loaned out by american g. I. Eric yaw, now family friend. With spitzners wife ingrid already in the west, allowed out for an aging aunts birthday, and with peggy just seven years old at the time, hanspeter osked dozens of g. I. S with access to east germany to smuggle them out. Only eric yaw agreed to hide them in his trunk. I said to him, you are now a member of my family. Reporter the spitzners have strong views about walls, not just the berlin example, now a living history lesson. Whether its here or the security barrier the israelis have built between them and the palestinians or going back to the great wall of china, they see all walls as monuments to political failure. The berlin wall, of course, was different than all the others. Hie others were designed to keep people out, and this one was designed to keep them in. Teere is one thing they all have in common, though, critics will tell you that when governments build walls, its a sign that s mething else isnt working. Its always to keep someone in, to keep someone out, to keep someone from doing something, so nus always a bad thing really, and its always a monument of a oblem. Reporter a monument, that with a will, can always be rvercome. I say never again, never again. Please. Reporter mark phillips, cbs news, berlin. Duncan now some other stories were following in our evening newsfeed.
