Headquarters in new york this is nbc nightly news with brian williams. Good evening. First there was the massacre in paris followed by the manhunt and the massive show of mourning. Now we are seeing something different. It can fairly be described as a backlash and public anger in a growing number of cities in the muslim world. And its sparking fears that we may be close to something of a turning point in what started after all with the publication of political cartoons. Its where we begin tonight with our chief Foreign Correspondent richard engel. Richard, good evening. Reporter good evening, brian. Any major terrorist attack has the potential at least of bringing the world together. It did not happen this time. There have been protests at times deadly clashes in at least ten muslim countries since friday. Outrage in the muslim world aimed at Charlie Hebdo, but also at the millions who bought the magazines latest issue which again lampooned muhammad on its cover. And at all those who say in solidarity i am charlie. Hundreds of thousands of muslims gathered today in chechnya to say they are definitely not charlie. No charlie in afghanistan either. Nor in pakistan. Nor iran. Only anger. In the west the slogan i am charlie, is interpreted as a defense of freedom of expression. Here in the islamic world its seen as standing with those who insult islam. Images of muhammad are forbidden, any, even insulting ones. So why they ask are millions in the west rallying behind a magazine that mocks their prophet . We think muslims have been insulted all over the world, says this demonstrator. These cartoons are an unbearable pain for every muslim. There is a basic misunderstanding. The west defends the press and champions free speech while many muslims complain it has suddenly become acceptable to ridicule their most holy figure. It all plays into the hands of radicals who encourage this idea of a clash of civilizations. Europe is now seeing unprecedented levels of security troops deployed all across france. Soldiers in belgium called out to defend the nation for the first time in 30 years. The radicals are getting what they wanted. And those radical groups brian, are also trying to reach out to new recruits pointing to the western support for Charlie Hebdo as evidence that the west is at war with islam. And another story were watching brian, is the situation in yemen. Today it looked like the Yemeni Government could fall. Theres an active Rebel Movement in the capital and today that Rebel Movement decided to flex its muscles getting into gunfights with the government. The government called this a possible coup attempt. The government has regained control of most of its buildings. Theres no plan to evacuate personnel at this time. But if that government were to fall it would be a major blow for the United States which considers that government a major ally against terrorists. Richard engel starting us off here tonight on a monday. Richard, thanks. There is new information tonight about the electronic hack against Sony Pictures. Both the Obama Administration and the fbi pointed the finger at north korea despite a number of experts who suspected a different culprit. Now we know why u. S. Officials seemed to be so sure because the u. S. Hacked north korea first years ago. We get our report tonight from our chief Foreign Affairs correspondent andrea mitchell. Hello north korea reporter when the interview ridiculed north koreas dictator triggering a massive hacking of Sony Pictures why was president obama so quick to blame north korea . The fbi announced today and we can confirm that north korea engaged in this attack. Reporter nbc news has confirmed its because the nsa had already hacked into north koreas computers, four years ago. As first reported today by new york times, even so Officials Say the u. S. Did not see the sony attack coming. It would have been very difficult for anyone looking inside the system to see the software that actually did the damage but it was fairly easy once the damage happened to be able to sort of run the tape back and reconstruct what was done. Reporter how did it work . What you do is you try to get a piece of code into a machine that will capture key strokes and capture information. But its designed that when you look for it it wont show up. Reporter the fbi director recently explained how he says they caught north korea in the act. Several times they got sloppy, all right . Several times either because they forgot or had a technical problem they connected directly and we could see them. Reporter what is the bottom line here . Do you feel safer at night because were able to hack into north korea . Any future wars whether theyre espionage, whether theyre attacks, part of the battle is going to be fought in cyberspace. Reporter but as the attack on sony proved, even with software hidden in north koreas computers, the u. S. May not see the next attack coming before it hits brian. Andrea mitchell in our d. C.

Tomorrow the president s speech will be a finale of a redefined model of how to sell the state of the union. For weeks hes previewed the address traveling the country. Paid sick leave more Broadband Access and just this weekend a proposed tax increase for wealthy americans and cuts for the middle class. All hyped on social media. You never get completely used to it. Reporter republicans say its the same old message in a different package designed to build president obamas legacy and doing nothing for the middle class.

Coming off one of the most exciting sports weekends of the year we now know close to 50 million of us watched both nfl games this weekend. One of them green bay seattle was a nailbiter the other more of a blowout as the new England Patriots defeated the colts to advance to the super bowl. But today echoing through the football world questions about whether the patriots had help having to do with the inflation of the footballs. Nbcs ron mott is at Gillette Stadium in foxboro tonight. Reporter good evening. What this game lacked last night is being replaced by intrigue tonight. Specifically the football used by the new England Patriots and whether the team doctored some of these balls to get the upper hand. Touchdown new england touchdown reporter the new England Patriots routed the Indianapolis Colts 4547 to win a spot in the super bowl. Were onto seattle. Reporter but tonight the nfl wants to know whether the team deliberately deflated footballs used by their offense to gain an edge. This morning star Quarterback Tom Brady laughed off the situation. Did you get the sense that you were able to grip the ball better than the colts last night . [ laughter ] would you care to weighin on that . I think i heard it all at this point. Reporter it was at the second half that officials reexamined some footballs. The difference between a properly inflated and a deflated football is easier to feel than it is to see. Deflated it is softer and more pliable therefore it gives the quarterback more control over the football. For those very same reasons its also easier to catch. According to league rules both teams give a dozen balls the referee inspects before the game. The balls are then given to runners on the sideline. In 2007 patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined by the nfl, the patriots 250,000 for videotaping an opponent signals later in the game which later became known as spy games. Bill belichick reporter tonight, the coach considered one of the games greats is downplaying the brewing controversy in a Conference Call with reporters. We will cooperate fully with whatever the league wants to whatever they want to ask us whatever they want to do. Reporter did you feel a difference in the balls you were playing with last night . No i dont know anything about it. Its just a story. Reporter now new questions before the biggest game of the season. Now, its unclear what prompted the referee to reexamine some of the balls halfway through the game but if the league finds these accusations credible brian, they could dock the patriots a fine and maybe take away a draft pick. Ron mott reporting from foxborough tonight. Thanks. No such allegations in the victory of the seahawks over the packers. This was an incredible Football Game trailing 197 with five minutes to go the seahawks managed one of the greatest comebacks in nfl history.

An outbreak somehow traced to visitors to disneyland of all places is now spreading rapidly. Its a virus that is so old its practically new again to a Younger Generation of doctors have never seen the symptoms. Our report tonight from nbcs hallie jackson. Reporter a san diego clinic is closing again today because of another suspected measles case, one of dozens in southern california.
