Ifill the numbers kept climbing today in that devastating mudslide in Washington State. At least two dozen people are now believed dead, with officials adding to the count every evening. Scores more are missing. Jeffrey brown reports on the days developments. Brown day five since the disaster found search teams still digging. Theyve been using everything from cadaver dogs to small bulldozers, and even sonar. Rain had made the already muddy debris even harder to dig, and more dangerous. Its slow going. It could take you about five minutes to walk 40 feet. And then youve got nails sticking out of the ground and things that could hurt you. Brown with conditions better today, the teams worked on, holding out faint hopes of finding survivors, along with more bodies. How many more remained an open question. The Snohomish CountyEmergency Management director said in some cases, all they have is a first name and an age. Were still dealing with the john does versus john 58s and were reconciling them, but were making great progress. Brown the people of arlington faced a different task, reconciling themselves to all theyve lost. Several different areas where theres houses at and theres areas where theres no houses and just mud, and they dont have like, dogs searching those areas. Uh, im sorry, im just. Thats ok, you really. Brown some gathered tuesday evening to mourn the victims, and pray for the missing. Were here to support those who have fallen and hope that some lives are still recovered. Even those leading the search struggled with questions of whether the disaster was preventable, in an area known for past mudslides. It haunts me because thats not we did everything that we could have done and the community did feel safe. They understood that risk. And we were i think we did what we could do. Sometimes large slides happen. Brown the national guard, the federal Emergency Management agency and others have now joined the operation. As for survivors and their neighbors, theres little to do but wait to find out who else will have to grieve. Ifill president obama urged the nations of europe today to rededicate themselves to freedom. He used a speech in brussels to lay out a broad case against russias annexation of crimea, and he said its a moment of testing for the world. Well hear excerpts of the speech, and a report by Margaret Warner from ukraine, right after the news summary. Ifill new claims of misconduct have hit the secret service. The Agency Confirms three agents were recalled from the netherlands, the day before the president arrived on his current trip. It was widely reported today that one of the agents was found drunk, in a hotel hallway. The secret service implemented stricter rules after a prostitution scandal in 2012. In egypt, general Abdulfattah Elsisi announced hes resigned from the military and will run for president next month. He led the army move that ousted former islamist president Mohammed Morsi last summer. Meanwhile, the government ordered two more mass trials of 919 morsi supporters. More than 500 others were sentenced to death this week, and another 680 are on trial. Governments, families and investigators alike may have their best lead yet in the hunt for the missing malaysian jetliner. It came today as officials announced a french satellite spotted a possible fullscale debris field in the southern indian ocean. We have a report from lucy watson of independent television, based in beijing. These are the visual images and the white dots were the debris. Reporter weve seen images like these before but not so many. 122 potential objects now spotted by french satellites. Some objects were a meter in length. Others were as much as 23 meters in length. Some of the objects appeared to be bright possibly indicating solid material. Reporter possibly he said yet again a word of caution. But the evidence is now building. The search is now focused 1,550 miles off the coast of perth. Its a 622,000 square mile stretch. And that part of the ocean has depths of 23,000 feet with complex terrain and undersea volcanos. So from first light those search efforts must begin, every day, trying to hone in on the truth. Sensitivity toward those missing. Yes, we have made mistakes and that had a calming effect on the relatives. That combined with multiple possibly sightings by french satellite, seemed to be more of a resignation and acceptance now of their loss. And that official malaysian sentiment relayed to relatives in beijing today is shared by those who are desperate for definitive news. Ifill a federal jury in ifill a federal jury in new york convicted osama bin ladens soninlaw today of conspiring to kill americans. Sulaiman abu ghaith acted as chief alqaeda spokesman.

Americans who say theyre unable to sign up for Health Coverage by march 31st are getting more time. The Obama Administration said today it would allow people already in the process of enrolling until april 15th to finish signing up. But they dont have to provide proof of their prior intentions. That waiver drew scorn from House Speaker john boehner and other republicans. The law says that a moment stops at the end of march. Thats what the law says. Ive got to live by the law, youve got to live by the law, other people have to live by the law and the president needs to live by the ifill democrats dismissed boehners criticism. Senate majority leader harry reid said House Republicans dont care about fixing health care, only about voting again and again to repeal the law. The joke i say to my dear friend, john boehner, is him for having more than sixty votes over there to terminate obamacare. I just think we are at a point now where it really does appear to be extremely disingenuous. That they oppose anything thats good about obamacare. Ifill the administration is hoping for six Million People to enroll through the federal exchange. Officials on both sides of the country were caught up in public Corruption Cases today.

Ifill still to come on the newshour president obamas forceful words for russia; ukraines corrupt past and its murky future; extending the deadline to sign up for health insurance; our conversation with former president jimmy carter; a ruling that might revolutionize college sports; and, facebooks 2 billion bet on Virtual Reality. Woodruff president obama met with European Union leaders in brussels today and agreed to the extension is the latest part of a yearlong push to try to get those 6 Million People signed up. For an update on whats working and whats not, we turn to Mary Agnes Carey of Kaiser Health news, an independent organization, and ceci connolly, managing director of Health Institute at pricewaterhousecoopers which works with insurers and others in the healthcare industry. Mary agnes, whats the justification for the delay . They say its basically akin to election day. If youre at the polling places at the time it closes and in line you get to complete the process. They want to allow people who are in the process to complete it. But you get to self attest. You get to tell government yes, i tried to enroll before march 31 but it didnt work so i need more time. Reporter why would they need to extend it . Because theyre not hitting the numbers and getting the people they want to involved . They say theyve made improvements to the web site and working smoothly. Web site traffic is up. The lastminute surge they expect, if they have any problems, they want to make sure they can complete the application. Reporter ceci, we have been watching the push the administration is going on comedy programs, radio, Spanish Language interviews, you name it. As a result, who has enrolled and who has not . Were still watching for the breakdowns, gwen, but we have been observing a shift in the enroll meant patterns ever since things started bumpily on october is. The first few months the enrollment tended to be somewhat older people, 40s, upper 50s. Sons january, weve seen an increase in younger adults, 1834 age group, and theres so much attention being placed on the young invincibles right now because we believe that theyre probably healthier and theyre going to spread out the risk. Right now it looks ifill that will pay for the healthcare. Absolutely and not have too many Health Expenses in the near future. Were at about 25 to 27 of total enrollment is that age group. Ifill lets go to the selfattesting part of the extension today, mary agnes. It sounds like if you just werent thinking about it or were just plain late and decide to go on the healthcare site on april 2 for the first time, you can just say you were trying to apply and nobodys going to check that . Thats what they were asked repeatedly, how do you verify it. They say they believe most people are truthful on this kind of application and would be truthful about the fact they are in before the 31st of march but that is the criticism you can get on well after that and check the box on the application. Ifill john boehner says a rule is a rule except the healthcare law. The employer mandate have been extended, the risk pools have been extended, theres been a variety of extensions but no one will take them seriously anymore. Ifill lets take one Population Group they have been targeting and thats latinos. You talk about the bumbley web site, the spanish part wasnt working. Is there any evidence theyre coming around . Slow and small, gwen. We knew going in that was always going to be a challenging starting population. Not only because of language barriers, but also in that population we sometimes see some skepticism about signing up for something that looks like a government program. We had seen that they can be hard to reach if maybe they dont have a home computer, they may not be on the internet getting email messages, getting social media messages. So youve got to get into the community, knock on doors, go to churches, et cetera, to reach these individuals. Ifill mary agnes, is there also concerns in one of the president s interviews, he specifically said immigration is not going to come after you if you sign up. Is that a concern . That is definitely a concern that if youre in the country to be penalized, if you apply for healthcare coverage. The president s gone out of his way to assure folks thats not the case. Ifill is the 6 million within reach . When they had the problem with the web site the Congressional Office put the number at 6 million. If you get younger, healthier people in, that helps, you can have older, healthier people in, depends on who is signed up and what is the experience with the people. Ifill how are insurers responding . Seems like the ball keeps moving further and further away. Thats not the certainty many Business People love. Business people prefer certainty, gwen. Theres very little downside to todays announcement because theyre going to get additional paying customers and thats always been why the Insurance Industry and hospitals have been relatively supportive of the Affordable Care act. It is the prospect of many millions more new paying customers, and theres a belief that, if we thought more to have the older, sicker people sign up in the early months that these extra weeks are just going to bring in younger and healthier, thats all positive for the Insurance Industry. So a couple extra weeks to bring in more young healthys, very good news for them. Ifill mary agnes, you just talked about more paying customers. Is there any measurement thats been handed out about whether people are actually paying premiums yet or whether theyre just signed up . We dont know that. Thats a problem with the back end of the web site. The front end is the consumer experience, you get on and enroll. The back end is the insurance to the Insurance Company and the Insurance Company responding to the government to say whos enrolled, have they paid the first months premium and we ear waiting on the statistics. We have been talking to a number of insurers. Looking like 70 to 80 payment in the first few months which is comparable to any other insurance market. So so far it appears to be tracking with normal business. Ifill a little news you can use. If you are someone who has not signed up, you have been meaning to, have been putting it off and you go online, what do you have to do . Is there a penalty that kicks in after april 15th or is there never going to be a penalty because the line will keep changing . The people that exists now is 95 or 1 of income in the first year for an individual. And people often forget about the 1 of income because its whichever figure is higher. Thats certainly something to think about. But if you want to enroll in coverage, maybe ought to go on the web site today, see what your options are, can you get a subsidy, there is different tiers of coverage. Under 30, you can get a catastrophic plan. You might find something that works for you. Ceci connolly, Mary Agnes Carey, Kaiser Health news. Thank you some. Thanks, gwen. His newest book is a call to action women, religion, violence and power. I spoke with him late today about the commitment by him and the Carter Center to fight discrimination and violence against women and girls around the world. That followed our talk about current news developments. President jimmy carter, thank you very much for joining us. Good to be with you again. Thanks for letting me come. Woodruff were here to talk about your book but first a few questions about whats in the news starting about ukraine. Do you believe that president putin and russians are paying enough price for take crimea . Judy, i never thought anything could have deterred putin from taking crime. I cant no matter what the western world would have done, he would have done this. Westerners always considered crimea to be part of ukraine and ukraine part of russia, so that was inevitable. But i think he has to be stopped and prevented from further military action. I dont think hes going to. I may be wrong, but i dont think hes going to. I watched his speech very carefully and i think hes going to seduce the eastern ukrainians who speak russian about how attractive russia is by banishments and loans and grants and concessions. Woodruff but you dont think any further punishment for taking crimea should happen . I dont think so. But i think if he escalates, then yes. But at this point, i dont think so. Woodruff what if he does go into another country, what should happen . I dont want to tell people want to know if office, but i remember when the soviets invaded afghanistan christmas day, 1979, i was very forcible because i saw the danger of them going forward. And i said to the president of russia we would take military action. I went to my ambassador and prepared an embargo and began to arm the Freedom Fighters in afghanistan repelling the soviet troops. That took bold and aggressive actions, some of which i think would be excessive now. Woodruff excess i . I think so. Woodruff should not ha
