Transcripts For CNNW New Day 20140818

Was to began and lasted well after it was supposed to be in effect. Police say protesters throw molotov cocktails at them and that some of them opened fire in their direction. Now, two civilians were shot in the chaos. Authorities say they were not the one whose fired those shots. President barack obama being briefed on all of this today at the white house. Cnns George Howell joins me now with more on the latest. Jofrnlg, what do you have this morning . Reporter you see what happened last night. I cant help but think back to the first day this all went down, myself and my photo journalist jordan were in a situation where you hear shots fired. Our colleague Steve Kasten Obama in the same situation, several nights of unrest. You have three different groups, a group of protest rs who have come out to protest peacefully. Thats what they want to development then you have another group who comes in to make trouble and you have police, criticized for being too heavy handed. In many cases they feel dammed if they do and damned if they dont. Peaceful protests turned into chaos overnight, leaving two people wounded by civilian gunfire according to police. Officers in riot gear firing smoke and teargas canisters into crowds ahead of the midnight curfew after police say some protesters turned violent. Children and families were seen among the crowd. At times protesters returning teargas canisters from police. Others trying to recover from the gas fired into the crowds. The situation first started to deteriorate with the shooting of a civilian on West Florence and ferguson avenues. We quickly responded with additional officers to reach the victim and got them to a safe position. That was followed by shots being fired on officers, a number of molotov cocktails being hurled and then the looting. Protesters say otherwise. We were peaceful. This is unacceptable and this is not the law. Reporter violence erupting as a preliminary autopsy report done by dr. Michael baden reveals brown was shot at least six times, twice in the head and four times in the arm, baden adding that all the bullets entered from the front contradicting some eyewitness accounts that brown was shot in the back. Also in the report, no trace of gunpowder residue found on the 18yearolds clothing which suggests brown was shot from a distance, not up close. Dr. Baden says until he can examine the clothing himself, we wont know for sure. When you have someone go in, someone who can look and evaluate and those results are presented to the family, i think theres more of a sense of trust that the family has in knowing exactly how Michael Brown died. God bless his soul, police shot this boy outside my apartment. This exclusive video obtained by cnn shows an upclose look at the aftermath. Officer daryn wilson accused of shooting the teen appears to be to the right. Earlier sunday Michael Browns family grieved before a crowded church as the justice for Michael Brown rally. Michael brown was not just some young black boy. He was a human being. He was not an animal, but thats how he was killed. Reporter the service was meant to honor their son and to demand justice. They want to know that they will have their day in court, that the killer of their child will be held accountable to the full extent of the law. Reporter the breaking news in all of this, obviously that governor jay nixon signed an executive order bringing in the Missouri National guard to work in concert with state troopers. Don, look. I know you talked to people, too. You know the outrage out here is very real. So how this plays out is really anyones guess, don. Absolutely. What effect will the National Guard have on all this. Thank you, george. Chris king is the editorial director of the st. Louis american. Thank you for joining us this morning. What effect might the National Guard have on this . You think it will tamp it down or only insight people further . The powers are broad and the executive order was vague. I have no idea whats going to happen. I dont think anyone does. We saw the tactical units, molotov cocktails, rubber bullets, all of that. How did this escalate into this . Well, i dont think there was enough effort to stop the fire from getting started. Theres a lot of effort to put out the fire as aggressively was possible. Literally the fires were started, as captain john said tonight, by molotov cocktails. Those words have never been said in ferguson before this event. They came from outsiders, a group from chicago. People in camp field green where Michael Brown was shot, they were talking about it from the beginnings. We had a name when sierra, a woman who addressed the governor at Greater Saint Mark Church saying there are people coming in and starting fires. This started the night after it happened. That group came in that quickly from chicago . Yes, they did. Yes, they did. Theres trails that come up from jennings, an adjoining community. If they say that around here to people, they say oh, yeah, from jennings. This is a mobile group that goes around and they enjoy confrontation. You believe none of the bad actors, none of the people looting and stealing things i dont believe that. You think theyre all from outside . Nobody here 1234. Once you start a fire the fire spread. There were bad actors within the community and there were organized looters. All the people arrested were not from ferguson. Someone not from ferguson started the fire and someone not from ferguson looted the stores. You a lot of angry upset grieving people. They were part of the problem, some of them. The Peaceful Protesters who should have been heard from the beginning, they got lost in the fire. Lets talk about a very emotional moving service that happened with the family and a number of different people. How do you think that it devolved into this intense situation where there would be a need to have this Memorial Service and need to bring in the National Guard. Don, theres a strong africanamerican middle class here. They were at the Memorial Services. They werent on the streets when things got bad. The problem now is, with the release of the autopsy report and the handling of the violence and now the middle ground, theyre going to drift closer to those angry kids. There are some very, very, very unhappy people that are in the middle class. I dont see a middle way from here. Unhappy people, those people arent looting stores, arent shooting off bullets. No, no, im not saying that. Im saying part of the reason the middle ground isnt on the streets cooling these kids down is a lot of them arent cooled down. Theres a lot of unhappy people with the way the investigation is being handled. The autopsy doesnt look good. It inflames people. Youre not saying most of the people who live here, most of the people out there are in support of people who are doing terrible things . Absolutely not. Most of the people here are law abiding citizens. Its a small group of people causing that. Right. The fire was set from the outside and it spread. Reporter its interesting to me listening to captain ron johnson from last night, clear live exhausted, overwhelmed in a sense. I think hes saddened by what happened and quite frankly, i think hes embarrassed. What can be done if the people who are out there looting and robbing im not talking about the people who are protesting, you have the right for civil disobedience. If you cant listen to someone who is brought in or someone who is from the community who you can relate to, then who are you going to listen to . The reports on the ground and the official reports differ in lots of details. Our web editor who is on the ground said the teargas hit the crowd before the crowd instigated violence and it also hit the crowd when there was still children in the crowd. Reporter thats not what he said. He said last night two to three hours before the curfew these things started to happen. You cant make excuses, chris, for the people who are doing those things. Im not making excuses. Im trying to differentiate the people who are trying to protest reporter i think people understand that. You cant say all the bad actors are from outside the community. You heard captain johnson for all those saying the police incited this, these actions started two to three hours before the police were even out on the streets. How can you say it was started by a molotov dock tall. When the woman from canfield told the governor there were people coming in from outside, he gave her a lecture on the first amendment. He didnt hear her. I dont think he believed her. I believed her. Now theyre talking about it in the press conferences, what seemed unbelievable a week ago. Thank you very much, chris king. Kate, its very interesting to see how this is going to unfold. It really devolved into a bad situation. I have not seen anything like this the entire time i have had ben. Thats what i wanted to ask you, don. Youve been there on the ground, been there from day to day. How does last night seem different, as if there had to have been a Tipping Point . I think last night was a Tipping Point. I think again when i firms got here and told you and everyone who could listen, everyone within the sound of my voice, i didnt think people were violent, i wasnt afraid of people, i thought people wanted to be heard, they just wanted their voices to be heard. Wanted some sort of validation. They didnt want to feel like they were occupied, didnt want to feel like they were threatened. This is completely different. Im not talking about the majority of people protesting peacefully. Im talking about the ones acting stupidly out of stupidity, the ones looking for reasons to a lot and rob and shoot off guns. It doesnt make any sense. Its ignorant actions. I think its devolving into that. What its doing, its deflecting from the real issue here. As captain ron johnson said last night, in this press conference, he said its embarrassing to him and to the brown family as well. Thats one thing weve heard from the brown family and their attorneys since day one, they want it to be peaceful because they wanted the honor the life of that young man. Its clearly a distraction and a horrible distraction at that to this point. What do you think is going to happen today . Weve seen kind of this roller coaster ride, don, quiet during the day, calls for peace and then you never know whats going to happen at night. Well, i dont know whats going to happen. I think last night once police were out in force in their Tactical Gear and they really shut down that hot zone that they called, people had no other option but to go into their homes or leave the neighborhood. Police were not having it last night. We had guns drawn. My producer had guns from Police Officers drown on us, guns with flashlights on the end of them. They would say hands up, hands up. We would have to say were here from the media, the other officer let us in. Were going to park here and go do our live shot. At one point they moved us out of the parking lot because we had to park on the sidewalk, it was a business arena. The Business Owners didnt want us on the sidewalks. I dont know whats going to happen when the National Guard gets here. People have to stop making excuses for the people doing bad things but saying i understand these people are frustrated. I was understanding of that in the beginning, although i did not condone the violence. I was understanding, i know people are frustrated. Now it is just stupidity and its not helping anything. Its just getting worse. Thats absolutely right. All the peaceful protesting is whats getting lost and caught in the middle of it. Don, stick with us. Well get back with you throughout the show, great to have you this morning. Thank you. Well have much more on this coming up, a key witness to the shooting who is going to be joining us live. Well really examine what were learning from this preliminary autopsy report, answers people have been waiting for from the very beginning. Lets get a quick check of some of the other top stories. How about jim sciutto sitting in. Just another italian between two smart women. Its a requirement for the job. President obama defending u. S.

Texas governor rick perry remaining defiant. Perry tells fox news sun hed take the same course of action again. This indictment on two felony counts stems from the veto funding to a councilwoman. The governor remaining defiant. Well see what happens as the situation continues to play out. What we know at least is this could follow him for a very long time. No question. You see the images from the scene there, the police in militarylike uniforms, the masks on in missouri, a warlike scene. Well take a break and get right back to that scene in ferguson and talking about exclusive new video from the scene where Michael Brown was shot and killed by a Police Officer.

Com welcome back to new day. Breaking news, the National Guard being deployed to help keep the peace in ferguson, missouri, after another night of wild protests following the shooting of Michael Brown. We have new video now from a witness to shah shooting provided exclusively to cnn. I need to warn you that what youre about to see may be quite difficult to watch. You do not see the shooting, but you do see what happened immediately afterwards. The officer youll see on the right is darwren wilson. God bless his soul. Police shot this boy outside my apartme apartment. They killed him. [ indistinct shouting ] the young woman who shot that video, p. J. Crenshaw joins us now. Shes here with her attorney karen lewis. Thank you for being here. I am so glad to speak to you. You were there that night. You tell us from a very different perspective what went on because you witnessed it all. You waited until now to release this video. Why is that . Because more importantly, i was concerned with my safety, of course, and because the media didnt release the name until several days after it happened. The name of the officer. Yes, Darren Wilson. We wanted to put the name with the face. I think this is relative nvgs for most people. You mentioned you were concerned about your safety. Did you have reason to fear . I didnt. But just thoughts from my attorney. Be careful. Yes, hold back. What is going through your mind as this is happening. Take me back to the moment. Why did you feel a need to record what was going on outside the window . From it all initially happening i knew this was not right. I knew the police shouldnt even have been chasing this young boy and firing at the same time. The fact that he got shot in the face, it was something that clicked in me like, no, somebody else needs to see this. This isnt right. Ive got to record. You pulled out your cell phone camera and started rolling. How long after it all. You saw the whole scenario played out, right . Yes, maam. A good 30 seconds i had to run into my house and get my phone, i put it on camera and started recording what i saw. So about 30 seconds. Walk me through that. What were looking at is officer Darren Wilson to the right, hes just looking over the body, just looking baffled and bewildered, trying to explain to the officer what have i just done. Then we get this picture of him pacing back and forth, just like, in disbelief. Its like he understands that he just shot this boy in the face and that this boy was not armed. To me this video just seems relative for this time period, especially including the fact that chief jackson said that the reason this video wasnt even on the media at the time when it should have been was because he wanted to get all the information out at the same time, under the freedom of information act. They could have easily given these videos as well because they confiscated my phone. Lets go back to that in a second. Take me back to a moment when you see a tussle at the police cruiser. What was going on . What happened . From my point of view i couldnt tell exactly. From my point of view he wanted to pull him. The officer pulled Michael Brown into the car . Look like he wanted to do brown being a bigger fellow, that didnt work, he got away. It seemed to have upset the officer. And then what happened . Got out and started chasing after the boy. Im hearing shots fired, clearly none of them hit him. But one i think did graze him as they saw on the autopsy report. At the end he turned around after im guessing he felt the bullet graze his arm, he turned around and was shot multiple times. The autopsy is showing he was shot from the front, not the back. Does that square with what you saw . Definitely. He was running away. When he turned towards the cop is when he let off more shots. Lets go to the point where i hear your voice. You sound really upset. I havent even lived there a month. I just moved there out of my parents home. To see Something Like this outside my window as im trying to go to work is traumatizing. Youre from ferguson . Yes. Im from jennings but i moved to ferguson. How has the neighborhood been . Its kind of peaceful. If you walk down the street, somebody will just say hey, how are you doing . You know your neighbors will Say Something to you every now and then. Its not as hectic as theyre appearing it to be. What have you made of the Ferguson Police department . Have you ever seen them on the streets interacting with any of the officers before but prior to this incident . At first i did feel comfortable living in my apartment because there are a Police Presence around constantly, Police Driving up and down the streets. Crime is a little more over there. But now it just it doesnt seem then the police take your cell phone from you to take the video. How did that all happen . Well, from my point of view, as soon as they start putting the yellow tape around, the family started coming up, screaming and asking what happened and nobody is giving them answers. Me and my boss, we were like, we saw everything, we were standing on top of my balcony. Of course, the police were there, too. They brought us all down for questioning which then my cell phone was confiscated. How long did it take to get the phone back . It happened saturday. They told me id get it back until monday, but i didnt get it back until later on on tuesday. I want to ask you about what youre seeing happen in ferguson now. We saw escalation in protests, violence over the weekend, the National Guard is being called in. As a resident in ferguson, how does that make you feel . Im concerned for all my friends that live out there. Theyre having to go through all of this because of the unjustness of one person and i just dont think its right. I feel like nobody should be concerned for their safety when the police arent even helping them. Thats what theyre there for, no Public Safety going on. Piaget, you moved there a month ago, had all this happening, you witnessed the death of the young man. Its been a traumatizing time for you coming on to speak with us. A big thank you for your attorney. We wish you well. Thank you for speerking with us and giving us the video for helping tell the story what happened to Michael Brown. No problem. He needs justice. He does need justice. Thank you so much. Well have more continuing coverage from the ground in missouri. The National Guard being destroyed to the area. New details emerging from one of the autopsies on Michael Brown. There are three. What does it tell us about how Michael Brown died . Thats ahead. Unlimited cash back.

Unlimited 1. 5 cash back on everything you purchase, every day. Dont settle for anything less. Ill keep asking. Whats in your wallet . Help keep teeth clean and breath fresh. Ill keep asking.

So ally bank really has no hidden fethats right. Accounts . Its just that im worried about you know hidden things. Ok, whys that . No hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. Welcome back to new day everyone. The National Guard is being deployed to ferguson, missouri, following another round of intense clashes between police and protesters there. It spiraled out of control after results from one of three autopsies that are set to be performed on Michael Brown showed the teen was shot at least six times including twice in the head. There is a diagram of that preliminary autopsy report. Browns family and attorneys will be discussing those results later today. More violence erupted as results were made public. Were joined by cnn anchor don lemon live from ferguson, also cnn political commentator host of huff post live mark hill and cnn analyst paul callan a former defense attorney. Mark, let me start with you on the ground. You were as don was, you were in the middle of it last night. You got caught up in that back and forth with police and teargas. What was the scene like around you . What was going on . The tension was incredible. We thought it was going to be calm night. We left a peace rally, we were with the brown family, reverend sharpton, ready to watch the peace march. Some people had marched peacefully down the street. We went to the north land shopping center. When we got there, we started to hear shots and see a lot of movement. Apparently thats when young people had clashed with Law Enforcement. We were caught inside. Police swarmed the area, wouldnt am lau us to leave. Teargas came in, we couldnt see, we couldnt breathe. We were on the trail end of the teargas. More Law Enforcement moved in. We were stuck there for about two and a half hours. What was the event did it seem, as don has been discussing this morning, did it seem there are a bad element that was mixing in with otherwise Peaceful Protesters . There is a very small element that is setting things off. The night before i was out there beyond curfew and i saw people throwing molotov dock talts. We had to put the fire out next to a restaurant for people who had done that. We saw a young man shot, some from in town, the group i saw actually was from oakland. Last night i didnt see or hear about any violence. It seemed people were moving peacefully down the street and police approached. I dont know what happened. Don, ill talk about the National Guard in a second. Paul, i want to talk about this breaking news out of this autopsy report. This is the private autopsy requested by the family. A wellknown forensic pathologist who conducted this. This is the preliminary autopsy report, a diagram were being shown right here. The big headline out of it, and i want your take, Michael Brown was shot six times, all to his front. What does this tell you . A couple of fascinating things. First of all, you almost never see a situation where a private family autopsy becomes public before the official autopsy in the case, kind of unusual. I did want to ask you about that. We can talk about that in a minute. These findings are so interesting, i dont want to get away from it. Dr. Bodden when he was asked, i saw one of the comments. He said the autopsy results dont show that the shots were justified or assign blame. He did say he thought there were too many shots fired against Michael Brown. With respect to where the shots are, i find it to be very, very interesting. It looks like four of the shots may be in the arm. Now, this is sort of typical of officerinvolved shootings. Through years in handling these cases as a prosecutor and defense attorney, im amazed how often the cops miss when theyre shooting somebody. Its very hard to be accurate with a handgun when youre under a lot of tension. Obviously hes probably trying to hit dead center on Michael Brown. Instead hes hitting him in the arm. Only the head shots probably were the things that stopped Michael Brown and put him on the ground. The real question is, was brown charging the officer. What does the head shot indicate . Can you make a definitive conclusion . Bodden and others who looked at this says this means brown could have been charging the officer. He also could have been surrendering to the officer. But the real question is did he turn and charge the officer. Remember, he reportedly weighed over 300 pounds, hes over six feet tall. Im playing devils advocate here. This is what the officers attorney is going to do. Hes going to say this man struggled with the cop at the car, maybe tried to take the cops gun. Then he begins to flee, turns around and comes back to attack the officer. The officer in fear for his life opens fire. The family is going to say he had his hands up in the air, he was unarmed and shot without justification. The hands up in the air is another interesting issue. Thats what weve heard pretty consistently from the few eyewitnesss that have spoke tone the media. What does the autopsy tell us about the hands up in the air. I found this to be an interesting fact. Weve got to look at that autopsy report and see were the entry wounds here and here as you would have with hands or are they here, here and here where your hands would be down . At what point in time were the shots fired . Maybe he had his hands up at first and dropped his arms . You can build a lot of scenarios out of an autopsy report. It gives us something but definitely doesnt give us everything. The one definitive thing it gives us is he was not close enough to have powder purposes on his body when the shots were fired. I the tell you statistically more often than not, officerinvolved shootings, the person shot is at least 24 feet away in the average case where an officer fires his weapon. Im not surprise tld were no powder burns on the victim in the case. Stick with me, paul. I want to bring don in on this. Don, this is the first of three to be released. I also found interesting and paul was alluding to this at the very beginning, Michael Bodden told the New York Times, this is the type of information that could have and should have been released on day one by the county. Reporter right, transparency. Remember, paul, as well that i dont think this forensic pathologist had access to the clothing as well, and the clothing could have powder burns on it. Absolutely right, yes, could. Reporter once someone does have access to the clothing, they may find that out. But, yes, that is one of the issues here. Its transparency. You heard the Ferguson Police chief saying, you know, you guys wanted transparency soy released it all on the same day. That was sort of the excuse they made. There was all sorts of information that could have been released earlier, information that has not been released so far, and thats all part of it. This is about transparency, at least in the very beginning, not sure exactly what its about now when it comes to some of the violent protests. Again, not the majority of the people who are protesting here, just a small group of people who are making it bad for everyone. I want to be clear, kate, i wasnt saying that i would have expected Law Enforcement to have released the autopsy. Usually you see the autopsy later in the game. Whats unusual here is you have a family autopsy thats been performed and is made public right away. Usually a private guy is brought in later in the game, after a grand jury has decided reporter if you hear the number of shots that were made, you would have heard about that. You would in many cases hear who the officer was, what his record was like. Absolutely. I think thats one of the motivations for the private autopsy, is the family said they havent heard anything they dont trust the Law Enforcement authorities. I want to get your take because obviously were not the experts here. Youre definitely more the expert. Youre going to have three autopsies. One is the preliminary autopsy although he says he doesnt have access to everything he wanted access to. You have two other autopsies. Would you expect theyre going to differ greatly . Can they . Yes, they can. These are expert witnesses. Youd be surprised how often expert witnesses differ. In murder cases, its not unusual for there to be a defense expert who differ strongly with the states expert. Theyre not going to differ on where the gunshots were . They may differ on ricochet, angle of entry. Some may si its the front or they may say it came in at a certain angle that would be consistent with a man surrendering as opposed to a man charging. I would expect there may be a lot of disagreement about specifics of the autopsy. Don and i have been talking about it as well. You talk about autopsy report being released. Do you think that is going to be another instigating factor to inflame tensions today . Or do you think getting this information out there finally will somehow calm things, especially in the addition of the National Guard coming in . Well, its certainly not going to do anything to calm tensions here. Just the sheer number of shots is going to upset people. People will say and have said on the ground, we cant understand how theres any justification for six shots. As well the autopsy report is not being released. Everyone is saying no one trusts the initial autopsy. The number of shots combined with the general lack of trust is going to make tensions probably intensify tonight. Completely agree. Don, mark, paul, thank you all very much. A lot to continue to talk through throughout the morning. Much more coverage on this. Thank you all so much. Coming up next on new day, talking about just that. The National Guard is heading to ferguson, missouri, after last nights protest spun out of control.

Take a look at what it feels like. A lot of 90s into the south. Into the northeast, the 80s dropping. Now taking friday, a look at the flipflop. Look at the temperatures climbing, triple digit heat. Meanwhile talking about showers and cooler temperatures into the northeast. A lot better there. The last thing i want to end on, have you ever seen the planets kiss . Looking at venus and jupiter so close before sunrise. In the northeast its already light out. But i snuck out. It looks like a plane. Its a little kiss. Sounds dangerous. Not dangerous. A kiss from another planet . The planetion are kissing each other. Sounds like the movie armageddon. Thanks indra. Lets take another break. Coming up next on new day, violence erupts again in ferguson, missouri. Now the National Guard is being sent in to try to calm the violence. Will they be able to stop it . The attorney for Michael Browns family will join us. His reaction to the autopsy results and what we can expect to hear from the family in their News Conference later today. [announcer] play closegood and close. Help keep teeth clean and breath fresh with beneful healthy smile snacks. With soft meaty centers and teeth cleaning texture,its dental that tastes so good. Beneful healthy smile food and snacks. Immediately. Breaking news. Some dramatic pictures if missouri. The National Guard is headed to ferguson after every other step to contain rowdy demonstrations after Michael Browns shooting have failed. This follows another volatile night with gunshots, molotov cocktails and looting on the streets. How can the guard help get the situation under control . Were joined by Lieutenant General russell honore, he coordinated military relief efforts after hurricane katrina. Very good to have you here, general honore. Thank you for joining us. Good morning. 200 National Guard troops deployed, the curfew reinstated. Also just seeing those pictures, the viewers back home, the police in what look like military uniforms, the gas masks back on. As you see developments there, the violence overnight. Do you think these are the right moves by Governor Nixon . Its a logical sequence. The governor by constitution has a responsibility to maintain civil control inside the state of missouri. This is one of the measures and that is why we have the National Guard in each state who do a Mission First to the governor and then to the president of the United States as required. The good news is that inside the state of missouri, you have two military police battalions. As i recall from my four years mobilizing and training the National Guard between 2004 and 2008, most of those units have trained, localized even deployed even in afghanistan, iraq and kosovo. Missouri has Division Headquarters that they have an option to use to provide it as required. These troops are mps. I would assume thats the units theyre sending. I have not seen the details yet. This thing has two battalions of mps. Im glad you brought that up. Im glad you brought up your connection because youve helped train these National Guard troops, but also their military experience here. I dont mean to minimize at all the danger. We saw that danger and heard it from our reporters on the ground, molotov cocktails. People shot, mind you not by police, but by others. But you also know the potential to further inflame the situation with militarylike tactics. Can it be a concern that military experience among the Law Enforcement responders could conceivably make the situation worse rather than better . Well, i think the Law Enforcement, if youre talking about the militarization or the type of tactics they used, im somewhat surprised they didnt use more of a riot control posture, appearing to be more of an assault posture. Hoping the mps will pick up the control kits. We have several of these kits available to the National Guard. The other thing is missouri is the home of our military police school. I would imagine these troops that are coming in will be well equipped with riot control equipment which is basically a lot of shields and face guards as well as body protection to protect them from any debris. Thats what im hoping to see, but i havent had the opportunity to collaborate with them and get any information yet. They certainly have the training and they should come with the right equipment which is riot control equipment. It sounds like youre saying more defensive in an offensive posture. You rightfully got great praise during the katrina situation. You brought in the 82nd airborne division. You brought in military troops to help respond but you were lauded for keeping them under control, famously cursing a soldier that had his gun pointed at people saying this is a rescue mission, not an assault mission. How do you as a commander instill in the Law Enforcement people responding here that kind of em pa sis . How do you make that happen so it doesnt get out of control . Leadership at the point of the incident. You cant be sitting back inside st. Louis someplace and managing this from a tv screen. Senior leadership is going to have to be on the ground down there with the state Police Captain don johnson and his crew as well as collaborating with the Police Department. You might have 200 National Guard troops working with the police at the direction of where the police where the governor wants them to go, but theyll be higher headquarters command dealing with support and collaboration to make sure those troops have the intelligence they need and working with the police. Theyll have to be integrated with the police. You talk about 200plus National Guard. That state has the capacity to put 9,000 National Guard in there immediately. So theyve got the capacity and they have the right kind of troops which are mps, to get this mission done. Mps on the streets of an american city. Thanks very much Lieutenant General russell honore. We get a sense of the difficult balance that Law Enforcement has on the ground there, letting people demonstrate, express themselves, but keeping the violence under control. Weve seen how difficult that balance is because weve been seeing it playing out every night. Jim, thank you so much. A lot of news were following on the ground in ferguson and beyond. Lets get right to it. This is unacceptable. Until we get justice, we will not stop we are trying to use the least amount of force while also pro tkting the property of the people of ferguson. Missouri governor is deploying the National Guard. I had no alternative but to elevate the level of our response. The u. S. Launching more than a dozen air strikes against isis militants. The peshmerga are engaged in a ground battle with isis fighters for full control. This is supporting the Iraqi Military on the ground in a combat operation. Good morning. And welcome again to new day. Chris is on route to ferguson, missouri, right now. Jim sciutto is with us this morning. Following the breaking news, missouris governor has deployed the National Guard after ferguson erupts in clashes once again between riot police and protesters. The anger really boiling over as a private autopsy requested by Michael Browns family, preliminary results reveal the unarmed teenager was shot at least six times. Bullets hit the front of browns body. This is key. Twice in the head, four times in the right arm. Results suggest the shots were fired from a distance since no gunpowder was found. Two autopsies have been performed on brown. The department of justice set to perform a third. We want to go to cnns don lemon. Hes been in ferguson and is our eyewitness on the ground. Don, tell us what you saw. Reporter unbelievable, jim and kate. Good morning, by the way. What started off as a peaceful protest on sunday and Church Services really degenerated into chaos hours later. I witnessed a lot of it. A lot of Police Presence. Police in riot gear taking on protesters with teargas and rubber bullets hours before a curfew was to begin. It lasted well after the curfew really went into effect. Police say protesters threw molotov cocktails at them and some of them opened fire in their direction. Two civilians were shot in this chaos. Authorities say the shots were fired by demonstrators. President barack obama, of course, being briefed on all of this today at the white house. Were going to talk with the attorney for the browns family in just moments here. If youre talking about what were witnessing, were witnessing a whole lot of Police Presence, journalists even having guns turned on them until they identified themselves as journalists. Another journalest, our very own George Howell joins us with his account. Good morning, george. Reporter don, good morning to you. Given what you experienced, given what i remember from last week when this all went down on monday night, remember you hear the gunshots in front of you, behind you, you have to take cover. This is an example of the gas that was used overnight. Police used rubber bullets, they used teargas and smoke canisters to clear the crowds. Now theyre stepping it up. The National Guard basically coming in to take control of these streets. How that plays out is anyones guess. Here is the thing. Youve got three different groups, people who come out to protest peacefully. Then there are those who come in to cause trouble and police who are criticized for being too heavy handed, but in many ways feel theyre damned if they do and damned if they dont. Peaceful protests turned into chaos overnight leaving two people wounded by civilian gunfire according to police. Officers in riot gear firing smoke and teargas canisters into crowds ahead of the midnight curfew after police say some protesters turned violent. Children and families were seen among the crowd. At times protesters were turning teargas canisters toward police and others trying to recover from the gas fired into the crowds. The situation first started to deteriorate with a shooting of a civilian. We quickly responded with additional officers to reach the victim and got them to a safe position. That was followed by shots being fired on officers, a number of molotov cocktails being hurled and then the looting. Reporter protesters say otherwise. We were peaceful. This is unacceptable and this is not the law. Reporter violence erupting as a preliminary autopsy report done by the familys own pathologist, dr. Michael baden reveals brown was shot six times, twice in the head, four times in the arm. Bodden contradicting eyewitness accounts that brown was shot in the back. Also in the report, no trace of gunpowder residue found on the 18yearold eels clothing which suggests brown was shot from a distance, not up close. Dr. Baden says until he can examine the clothing himself, we wont know for sure. God bless his soul. Police shot this boy outside my apartment. Reporter this exclusive video obtained by cnn, shows an upclose look at the aftermath from that day. Officer Darren Wilson accused of shuting the teen appears to be to the right. Earlier on sunday, his parents grieving at the justice for Michael Brown rally. Michael brown was not just some black boy. He was a human being. He was not an animal, but thats how he was killed. Reporter the service was meant to honor their son and to demand justice. They want to know that they will have their day in court, that the killer of their child will be held accountable to the fum extent of the law. Reporter to bring you up to speed on the latest facts of what happened overnight after several nights of unrest, last night we know at least two people were shot, not by police. These were shots that happened within the crowd according to police. Now, here is the question. With the release of that autopsy and with the National Guard soon to step in, it is unclear how people in this community will react. We know some protesters are already out here. At this hour, don, the protests, mostly peaceful. Its the element of people who come in to cause problems, unclear how that will play out in the next several hours. Reporter the people who should not be out here are the one whose are causing most of the problems and its a handful of them. We appreciate that, George Howell. Lets talk about that with darrell parks, the attorney for Michael Browns family. Lets first before we get to the autopsy. The National Guard is being brought in. What effect do you think it will have . Hopefully it will bring calm, thats our prayer, the familys prayer, that the community can go back to normal and well have law and order. Reporter now to the autopsy, again, these are just initial results, correct . Correct. Reporter shot at least six times. Not six times, but at least six times. What does this show you . Number one, it shows you that michael was hit several times by the bullets from the officer. The only part that it doesnt shed great light on, of the diagram, you dont see the kill shot to the top of the head, the execution style that you hear us talking about so often. That shot is important because michaels head would have to be down for where the shot is positioned which is at the apex of his head. Thats an important part of this here because it corroborates what the witnesses have told you, that he was down and that the officer shot him despite him trying to surrender. Reporter the number of shots, does that tell you anything . Does that seem excessive to you . Obviously seems excessive. Reporter and to the independent forensic examiner . I dont think they said. Remember its preliminary. A lot of things they dont know that theyll learn about, things that the original autopsy showed, theyll incorporate that. Reporter the witnesses we have been hearing on television saying his hands are up, but there appear to be no gunshot wounds that entered through the back or side of the arm, is that correct . You have to be careful there. Where the entrance and exit wounds are and how they correlate with each of the interaction with the body is something thats going to be more detailed. So you wont get that level of detail right now. Remember, were preliminary. That level of detail of exit and reentrance are things you learn a little more. We thought it important that we now put it to the public that in some transparency there are at least six gunshot wounds gunshots, excuse me, and the fact that how when this kid was surrendering that this officer was do a single shot to the apex of the head of this young man to take him down, without question. One thing clear about this autopsy, that shot took him down. Reporter from the very beginning, the Ferguson Police have said there was a struggle in the car. There was some sort of struggle in the car and maybe possibly outside the car. Is there anything in the autopsy that shows that either on his hands or anywhere where there may be a struggle or he tried to get ahold of the gun. Theres the possibility that there was a serious struggle in the car. Reporter any evidence that there was a struggle for the gun . I cant comment to that. I will leave that to the pathology professionals, to comment in terms of whether or not when and how gunshot interaction with the body, wherever it may be, when and where that may have taken place. Reporter there are reports of a witness out there corroborating the officers side of the story, saying that mike brown or big mike as they call him, was charging the officer, his hands were not up, that he was charging the officer and he got ahold of the gun and thats why the officer did what he did. Is this the officers account . Reporter no, an eyewitness account. All witnesses ive heard from. Reporter alleged eyewitness account, unconfirmed witness to cnn telling their story, has been on radio stations and telling their story to other media that he was charged and that he tried to get ahold of the gun and in fact did get ahold of the gun and the officer was trying to fend him off. That version i think doesnt have great credibility. I think there was interaction of the gun and mike nl the car. Where it may have hit him i wont comment on. Theres a possibility it could have. Well have to wait and let the forensic pathology play its course out for that level of specificity. Reporter ron johnson is the man in charge of trying to keep the calm, missouri Highway Patrol sounded exhausted and frustrated and said that the looters and the rioters, not the Peaceful Protesters, the majority of people, that it was embarrassing and that it was not only disrespectful to the family but it also was deflecting from the real actions that need to be taken for justice and deflecting away from the family. What has the family said about that and what is your assessment . I think any group of people out there who want to be helpful to the brown family in any type of way, they would stop immediately any type of violence, anything thats unlawful. This family doesnt want to see that. It hurts them to see this type of thing going on when mike brown is about to be buried in the next week or so. So we would hope that people, please stop that, please stop it. Its a distraction we dont need. This family doesnt need this distraction right now. Reporter youre holding a press conference dichlt is there anything we need to know beforehand . Well have the great Michael Baden there. Hell go into detail in his own way as relates to the forensic pathology. Thank you very much, daryl parks. Reporter hes having a press conference today. As you know, the head of the missouri Highway Patrol, the person heading up this part, trying to keep the Community Safe is saying hes going to have a press conference as well every single morning. So theres lots to be heard, lots of new information to come out today and beyond. Kate, jim. Don, thanks so much. Well get back to you shortly. We veal much more on this story coming up. Well be going over that preliminary autopsy report with a forensic expert to piece through what we know, what we dont know, what other Big Questions remain. First back over to michaela with a look at other big stories. A quick look at your headlines. Thanks so much. In iraq kurdish fighters are gaining ground on isis in the battle for a Strategic Dam.

Doctors without borders now seeing ebola patients at a brand new Treatment Center in liberia. That complex will eventually hold up to 400 patients. Its the organizations largest ebola facility. On saturday about a dozen patients fled from a quarantined area when it was attacked by looters. Police say looters were merely protesting the fact that the patients were quarantined there. They were pushing to have them quarantined elsewhere. Now you have patients that have fled. You dont know where they are and if theyre going to infect other people. A tweet from doctors without borders. They were saying were doctors without borders, not doctors without limits. Theyre running out of rubber gloves, some of these facilities, some of the most basic medical necessities needed to take care of these patients. I was reading that in the wall street journal.

Im don lemon live from ferguson missouri. National guard being deployed to ferguson following another night of chaos. Demonstrations in support of Michael Brown getting out of hand again, forcing governor jay nixons hand with a National Guard order. Nixon was harshly criticized last week by Missouri State senator Maria Chappelle nadal. What does she think of nixons decision to bring in extra Law Enforcement. Lets ask her. What do you make of the National Guard coming in . I find it very interesting because the National Guard will be coming the ground zero one and two before Governor Nixon has come to ground zero. Hes been in normandy, hes been at the command control that is in ferguson, but he has yet to come to ground zero and talk to the people who are really affected by the death of Michael Brown. How do you think his presence will help . People want to know you care. Every other elected official that has come down has talked to all of the people who are from this community who are angered by all the intimidation. Unfortunately we have some negative influences that are coming into this community and a lot of people who are a few people who are in this community who are making it just a worse problem. Lets talk about all that. There are people very critical who are saying, you know, these people should be allowed to express themselves. Making excuses for the looting, for the violence. There is no excuse. Its intolerable actually. What happened the other night, we had Peaceful Protesters who were protecting businesses so they would not be looted. That narrative has not been expressed so much in the media. So im very proud of that. But that same night ferguson Police Officers just stood by and didnt even encounter any of those looters at some of these businesses that protesters were trying to protect. I think thats a very good point. There were protesters standing in front of businesses telling looters youre not going to come in here. Those were the Peaceful Protesters. Thats a narrative, youre right, that has not been talked about a lot. You were involved in a situation that got out of control by people that were outside forces and people who were from here. Tell us about it. Last night we were on our way out, we were going to take the shortcut out through canfield to get to the main roads, jennings station road. All of a sudden as were trying to go out the opposite way, there were five to six gunshots that we saw. Prior to that there were kids running towards our vehicle. And we were a little bit nervous. We ducked down in the car and decided instead of going towards jennings station road through canfield, we. Reporter going to go south on west floor sent. I noticed that none of the Police Officers that had been there all day long during the daylight were there. It was kind of interesting because there were at least 200 Police Officers from Highway Patrol, st. Louis city, st. Louis county and otherwise. When we left, it took about ten minutes to get to our location. Thats when we saw everything on the news. Whats your message then, if you have a message again, we keep prefacing it. Im not going to preface it every time. People should be smart enough to know, its a small number of people, majority are peaceful. What do you say to those people because its a distraction to the real issues here and to pays a disservice to Michael Browns legacy. Youre exactly right. What i would say to those negative influences both in the community and those folks coming into the community is theyre a disgrace. Theyre fools you said. Theyre fools. Theyre a disgrace to this entire movement. What we are trying to address is the intimidation and harassment of Police Officers onto young people. You cant turn around and then intimidate and harass the people out here, the law abiding citizens and the good citizens of ferguson. It completely changes the narrative. Yesterday was a fantastic day. We had tibetan monks who came straight from india and they wanted to be part of this movement. We had steppers who came out and riled up the crowd in a positive way. Before i left i went away for one day to do Something Else and i came back, there were young girls, dance troops out, drum circles, what have you, very peaceful. All of a sudden, within a matter of hours, it devolved just because of some people. Thank you very much. We appreciate you joining us here on cnn. Kate, back to you in new york. Don, thank you very much. Good to get that perspective on the ground getting different peoples take on what happened last night and whats going to change today. And with each story in this story you have conflict about the most basic details, not just of the shooting, but also the response to the shootings. Thats a great point. Coming up next on new day, the private autopsy results on Michael Brown raise the tensions again in ferguson, missouri. Well break down the findings with a forensic pathology. Thats coming up. U. S.

The battle to retake a crucial dam from isis terrorists in iraq is intensifying. The u. S. Is launching more has launched more than a dozen air strikes against the terrorists, helping Kurdish Forces on the ground retake back part of the mosul dam which supplies power to millions there. President obama saying the dam is critical to the security of the u. S. Embassy in bagdad. Lets turn to barbara starr. What are we learning about the fight to retake the dam . Good morning. This hour Kurdish Forces appear to partially be controlling part of the facility, but not all of it. U. S. Air strikes continuing as you saw in that video against isis positions around the dam. The president is defending this on the basis that the u. S. Rules of engagement, if you will, in iraq were humanitarian operations and anything that needed to be done, air strikes, to protect u. S. Facilities in bagdad, the u. S. Embassy. The case being made is mosul dam could flood all the way to bagdad and impact the u. S. Embassy and u. S. Operations. Many people, however, are likely to see this as an expansion of the u. S. Air strikes and the u. S. Mission in iraq. The concern about the dam, could isis blow it up, but also the dam is so fragile that it is not properly being maintained officials say, and unless they can get back in control of it, theres a good deal of worry it could break anyhow. Putting millions of lives at risk. Barbara, thank you very much live from the pentagon. A busy day today. Talks aimed at ending the fighting in Eastern Ukraine taking place in berlin.

Welcome back to new day, the National Guard is headed to ferguson, missouri, after more clashes on the streets overnight. This as the results from a private autopsy requested by Michael Browns family reveals the unarmed teenager was shot six times, twice in the head. Browns family and attorneys will be speaking about those results later this morning. Well speak with an expert in just a moment as folks really begin to start to piece together how these results match up with eyewitness accounts. Bless his soul, police shot this boy outside my apartment. Six, thats at least how many times 18yearold Michael Brown was shot according to an independent autopsy requested by his family. The preliminary autopsy results indicate that brown was shot twice in the head, four times in the right arm and that all bullets entered from the front. One bullet that entered the top of his skull indicates he was bending forward when it hit him, causing a fatal injury. Also, no gunpowder found on browns body suggesting he was not shot at close range. This autopsy is one of three that will be performed. The state as well as the department of justice will also have their own examinations. Police say brown was walking in the middle of the street with a friend when stopped. Police have suggested he was the instigator, physically assaulting the Police Officer inside his cruiser, struggling to take his gun. One of those individuals at the time came in as the officer was exiting his police car, allegedly pushed the Police Officer back into the car where he physically assaulted the Police Officer. Michael browns friend with him that day, dorian johnson, says officer Darren Wilson grabbed brown who was trying to get away, not fighting for the gun. At that time he reached out the window with his left arm, grabbed on to my friend, big mikes throat and trying to pull him into the vehicle. Some witness accounts say brown was running from the officer and appeared to be surrendering, his hands in the air at the time he was shot and killed. I see the officer proceeding, after my friend, big mike with his gun drawn and fired a second shot. That struck my friend big mike. At that time he turned around with his hands up, beginning to tell the officer that he was unarmed and to tell him to stop shooting, but at that time the officer was firing several more shots into my friend and he hit the ground and died. Tiffany mitchell watched the shooting from a distance, then captured this video in the moments after the fatal shots. The officer gets out of his vehicle and pursuing michael as hes shooting his weapon. Michael jerks his body as if he was hit, he turns around, faces the officer, puts his hands up. The officer continues to shoot him until he goes down to the ground. Lets discuss this more. Joining us now forensic pathologist dr. Ceril whack. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Theres a lot more we know this morning, but that means theres a lot more we do not know, from the results and the reports we have of this preliminary autopsy requested by the family, and theres a diagram provided to cnn of the gunshot wounds. What do, from your perspective, what does this answer . What questions . What does this definitively tell you . Based upon what i have read and seen thus far, it appears that the two shots that struck Michael Brown in the head had to have been fired while he was falling forward. He was 63, i do not know the height of officer wilson. To my knowledge hes not a 68 guy that would have been shooting downward, in order for a bullet to be moving downward in the head of a 63 guy, obviously that head has to be in a crouched position. One shot reportedly entered the top of the head. I do not know where it exited. Another shot we are told went in the right eye area, exited from the jaw and reentered the clavicle, collar bone on the right sichltd here you have a clear downward trajectory of entrance, exit and reentrance. Clearly that head had to have been down in this kind of a position. The arms, its more difficult to ascertain. Ive only seen four shots depicted on the right arm, and i do not know where the exit wounds were. Supposedly three bullets were recovered in the first autopsy. One must keep in mind that the arms can be in various kinds of positions. Flexion, extension, lateral, medial movements and so on. Also in terms of any shooting, remember the person being shot is highly unlikely to be standing there as an immobile target. That person is ducking, bending, twisting, juking, jumping, falling and what have you. So that all has to be reconstructed. Supposedly then a shot fired while the officer was in the car. That car needs to be thoroughly examined, and gunpowder residue must be looked for in the area from which the officer is shot. Let me ask you about the question of gunpowder residue. From the report so far, this forensic pathologist says there was no gunpowder residue found on Michael Browns body. However, he notes that he did not have access to Michael Browns clothes. How key is that . Well, the clothing obviously must be examined to see if there is any gunpowder residue on the clothing. But i believe the clothing was rather flimsy, typical summer attire for a young boy. Its highly likely that if the shots had been fired at relatively close range, gunpowder would have made its way through just a little tshirt if indeed it was some kind of a flimsy garment. With a handgun, well see sippaling, taking a black pen coming down on white paper and that little bit of punctate blan kenning, thats what we call sippling. Gunpowder residue is the carbon material, the burning fragments that come out from the muzzle of the gun and come onto the skin and they deposit, depending on how close it is, you may actually have black soot. A handgun you will not get it beyond 24 inches, usually not beyond 18 inches. Once it goes beyond that, then you have a problem. You cant say that it was 28 or 35 or 43 or 92 inches. Theres no way then to determine what the range would have been except to say that it was a distance shot, beyond the 18, 24 inches. That is important, too, to try to reconstruct and see where the officer was, why he continued to shoot from that distance. Also, doctor, from your perspective then, if we have some definitive answers, as you say, what is the biggest question in your mind as a forensic pathologist that you dont see in this report that you think is important . Well, any forensic pathologist doesnt function in a vacuum in a case like this. You have to get reports and you have to do reconstruction. You have to go to the scene and then play it out with people as the actors. Then the ballistics studies have to be done using a prototype of that gun to see what would be deposited in terms of gunpowder residue and sippling. Then you have to see what the different stories are from the various people and put it all together. One thing you can be sure of, that once somebody is struck in the head twice, its highly unlikely they are going to continue to move. So most probably you can reconstruct to this point and say that the shots that struck Michael Brown in the arm hit him first in whatever sequence, and thats not going to be possible i think to determine what the sequence of those four shots are. Then the two head shots toppled him and they would have been fatal. And i repeat, for shots like that to have a downward trajectory in a man the size of Michael Brown, that body had to have been lurching forward. Somebody is going to say, well, could he not have been charging like a bull . Its possible, highly unlikely. I think he was falling to the ground having been struck and as he was falling those shots were fired giving you the downward trajectory. Let me also ask you on the question of those gunshots, from this preliminary report, they say the gunshots, the entry wounds the gunshots were from the front is what it suggests. I was looking back over the eyewitness reports that, as the witnesses have spoke tone the media so far. All three of them at one point or another in their recounting of what they saw said they believed that Michael Brown had been shot from behind. If this autopsy report doesnt suggest that, could that still be the case . Is that still a possibility even though we dont see it here . Well, clearly one can determine that no shots were struck in the back, at least as far as we are told thus far. As far as the arm is concerned, i will repeat what i said before, that oh ill show you, look, supine and prone and so on, do you get the idea . When youre running, when youre running and your arms are flailing, what is the exact position of the arms when the bullets hit you . So thats a difficult reconstruction to make. And the fact that the shots are reportedly from the front, thats based upon what the pathologist sees when the body is in front of you. We talk about the anatomic position, the body facing you, lying on the autopsy table face up, palms up. Thats when we talk right and left, front to back. That has nothing to do with the actual dynamics of how the shooting occurred in terms of the position, especially someone who is fleeing, someone who perceives themselves about to be shot or hears a shot and is moving and twisting and turning. And i repeat again, the arms you can see move in many different directions. Thats an important i think a very important perspective as many people are trying to piece together what can be learned from that preliminary autopsy report. Dr. Cyril wekt, thank you very much.

Where the Little Things mean everything. Welcome back. U. S. Air strikes are helping to loosen the grip of isis on a key dam in mosul in northern iraq. The strikes are helping Kurdish Forces on the ground retake part of the dam. Is the u. S. Help too late to stabilize iraq . Want to discuss now with former u. S. Ambassador to nato, hes nicholas burns, also now with the Kennedy School of government of harvard. Thank you for joining us, ambassador burns. Thank you, jim. So i was reading your editorial, which came out of your conversations with former secretaries of state rice and albright as well as former defense secretary bob gates. And you all seem to agree that the combination of the crisis in iraq and syria and ukraine is really the defining moment of the obama presidency. And i just wonder, do you think that the policy response from the white house is up to that challenge . Is it meeting the challenge . Well, those are my words in a boston globe oped last week, jim. I think this is the most important period for obamas Foreign Policy. President obamas Foreign Policy. In iraq, if the isis if the isis Islamic State advance cannot be halted, there is the possibility that iraq will be further weakened. It could disintegrate. That would have profound implications for the rest of the middle east and of course for United States interests and of course in russia, president putin is drawing new lines in ukraine, hes dividing europe. Hes continuing to supply the ukrainian rebels, the russian separatist rebels, i should say in ukraine, with military hardware. So these are, i think, the two most important tests for president obamas Foreign Policy in his presidency. Let me ask you, you referenced this in your editorial and you and i talked about this before, there is a perception of u. S. Disengagement and lack of influence in both of these conflicts. Do you think thats fair . I think there is a general perception, a narrative, if you will, across the world of the United States is no longer acting with as much selfconfidence and energy and leadership as it has in the past. The president does have an opportunity in these two crises to counteract that. And i think particularly in iraq, where the fighting has gone better in recent days for the peshmerga, the Kurdish Forces against the United States, the United States is stepping up its actions. The u. S. Air strikes over the weekend were pivotal according to all the news reports in pushing back the isis fighters and with Prime Minister malikis resignation, there is now a chance to give much more military assistance to the Iraqi Government and to have the sunni leaders play a bigger role in supporting that government. So i think the United States does have an opportunity to do better in iraq and to reinforce the iraqi state. And in russia, of course, the real test is whether the sanctions put forward by the United States and European Union can persuade president putin, the price is too high for him to continue arming and funding these separatists. Let me ask you about ukraine. Wasn i want to get back to iraq. Talking about ukraine, to this pointe ed point, while the costs have gone up, there has been further military action in ukraine. There has been escalation, not deescalation. In fact, the ukrainian president has called the most recent action an invasion. U. S. Not going that far. But is u. S. Policy working in ukraine . It doesnt seem to be deinterrogadeterring the russian president. There was a Major Development over the weekend, jim, that is that the Ukrainian Government retook control of the center of luhansk. There are lots of reports that some of the russian ethnic leaders who have been leading the insurgency in Eastern Ukraine have left and gone back to russia over the last several days. It does look like the momentsome with the Ukrainian Government in reasserting sovereignty in Eastern Ukraine, retaking some of the key checkpoints in donetsk and luhansk. And that way i think the president s policy has been the right policy. He is not introduced American Military forces and i think there would be very little public support for that. But he has now pushed the europeans to do more on sanctions. And the president has an opportunity at the nato summit in two weeks time to reinforce the nato allies that are on the front lines of the conflict, romania and poland, estonia, latvia and lithuania. It may be were beginning to see president obamas policy is working in ukraine. Let me ask you about iraq. You have air strikes over the weekend around mosul helping apparently to retake the dam. The president said there is military action there granted from the air not the ground, it will take months, not weeks. The Iraqi Military hasnt proven up to the task. Do the american people, do our viewers have to prepare for the u. S. Military to be involved in iraq for the long haul Going Forward . Well, i think president obama has been clear that this is not going to be a repetition of the iraq war when we had 150,000 american troops in iraq, when we fought a ground war. The president said hes going to lose air power to try to knock back the Islamic State fighters, assist both the Iraqi Military and the Kurdish Peshmerga forces to retake the city of mosul and they essentially retook mosul dam this morning, a very important spot, 30 miles west of mosul. Mosul is the second largest city in iraq. And so if the peshmerga and iraqi forces can take it from the Islamic State, that will be a major victory. I dont think well see a repetition of what the United States did from 2003 to 2008 in iraq, but it is very important that the u. S. Use its air power to try to strike at the Islamic State forces. Theyre a threat, not only to iraq, but to syria. And theyre also a threat to the United States and europe because there are thousand of fighters there, many hundreds of whom may have western passports. We dont want to see them intill tra infiltrated to our society, trained as terrorists. There are good reasons why the president has done what hes done, but i think are limits he imposes limits on the scale of american effort.

Chris is on his way to ferguson. Jim sciutto is here with us this morning. Were following the breaking news out of missouri. The National Guard has been ordered to ferguson after clashes intensified between riot police and protesters over the shooting death of Michael Brown. The anger boiling over as a private autopsy requested by the teenagers family revealed that the unarmed the unarmed 18yearold was shot at least six times. The teen was hit in the front of the body and this could be key, not the back. Twice in the head and four times in his right arm, findings suggested the shots were fired from far away since no gunpowder was found. Two autopsies found on brown so far, one more remains from the u. S. Department of justice. We want to go to don lemon who witnessed much of this and what transpired over the last several nights. Incredible to see the scenes, soldiers it looks like, theyre policemen but they look like soldiers. It must have been incredible to witness. It was incredible to witness. Speaking of soldiers, the National Guard is coming in. It is going to look even more militarized jim and kate. It is a case of bad characters really wrecking what started as peaceful protests, helping it spin way out of control. Police in riot gear taking on protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets. The trouble started hours before a curfew was to begin and it lasted well into the night, well after people were supposed to go home, supposed to be in their homes. Police say molotov cocktails were thrown at them and some protesters opened fire in their direction. Now, two civilians were shot, but authorities are saying that the bullets were fired by demonstrators. And president barack obama keeping updated on all of the what is going on here today at the white house. In a moment, were going to give the Police Perspective when the president of the st. Louis county Police Association joins me here live. Were going to go first to cnns George Howell who has been on the scene as well. Hes been caught in some of this and hes been witnessing a lot of what has been going on. What are you seeing . Don, good morning. Here at what you could call ground zero of all of the unrest we have seen here over the last several days, the qt that was burned to the ground and if you look over here, you see all of the debris left over from another night of unrest. I want to bring in britney banks. Thank you for talking to me. You were here a moment ago. Tell people what youre doing. Picking up trash. Picking up trash. Im only about two miles down, and, you know it is an unfortunate situation, but i dont think the individuals of ferguson should have to drive to work every morning seeing their city being trashed. Britney, thank you very much. We saw this play out overnight. Heres what happened. Peaceful protests turned into chaos overnight, leaving two people wounded by civilian gunfire according to police. Officers in riot gear, firing smoke and tear gas canisters into crowds ahead of the midnight curfew after police say some protesters turned violent. Children and families were scene among the crowd. At times protesters returning tear gas canisters toward police. And others trying to recover from the gas fired into the crowds. The situation first started to deteriorate with a shooting of a civilian. We quickly responded with additional officers to reach the victim and got them to a safe position. That was followed by shots being fired on officers, a number of molotov cocktails being hurled and the looting. But protesters say otherwise. We were peaceful. This is unacceptable and this is not the law. Reporter violence erupting as a preliminary autopsy report done by the familys own private pathologist, dr. Michael baden, reveals brown was shot at least six times, twice in the head, and four times in the arm. Baden adding all of the bullets entered from the front, contradicting some eyewitness accounts that brown was shot in the back. Also in the report, no trace of gunpowder residue found on the 1yearolds clothing, which suggests brown was shot from a distance, not up close. Dr. Baden says until he can examine the clothing himself, we wont know for sure. This video obtained by cnn shows an up close look at the aftermath from that day. Officer Darren Wilson accused of shooting the teen appears to be to the right. Earlier sunday, Michael Browns family grieved before a crowded church, at the justice for Michael Brown rally. Michael brown was not just some young black boy. He was a human being. He was not an animal. But thats how he was killed. Reporter the service was meant to honor their son and to demand justice. They want to know that they will have their day in court, that the killer of their child would be held accountable to the full extent of the law. Reporter another night of unrest hijacking the message of many protesters who are just trying to send a message. Again, we know at least several people, two people were shot, several people were arrested and, again, another day where children will not be able to go to school because of fears of more unrest, don. Unbelievable. George howell, thank you. Appreciate your reporting. Stand by. I want to bring in gabe crocker, well get the police side of the story. President of the st. Louis county Police Association. Thank you for joining us. First, lets get to the National Guard coming in. Because you were critical of having the missouri Highway Patrol come in. You thought that wasnt handled properly. I thought that was an unfriendly takeover of the situation due to political pressure on our governor and certain local leaders. Now what we have seen here before you go to that, do you think usurped the local Police Powers . I think it was an inappropriate response. I think it would have been nicer for our governor to come in and utilize his resources to join ours rather than have a situational takeover. Now the National Guard. I think it goes right against what the governor and some of the other leaders have said from the beginning where they were hoping to demilitarize the situation, now theyre calling in the National Guard. I think that kind of goes to support what ive said from the very beginning, which is that the st. Louis county Police Department is doing a great job, and we could have used those resources, we could have worked together. You saw it devolve last night into tear gas and all of that. What do you think of the demonstrations . What is escalating . Im not sure. I think a couple of things. I think there were some comments by some local leaders yesterday that could have caused this situation to kind of uprise. Certainly the autopsy results that were released last night could have enflamed certain crowd members. But, again, i always like to delineate the difference between Peaceful Protesters, folks out there, having their voices heard. Majority the majority of those folks that are out there, they have every right to be upset. We have Police Officers out there, theyre upset. We understand that. But there are those people out there that are really trying to devolve the situation into looting and rioting and violence. What do you think was enflamtory about the local comments and what are you speaking of specifically . There is local leaders enflaming both sides of the situation. Ive seen certain twitter feeds and facebook postings by politicians in the area calling for this officer to be arrested. But yet asking for justice to move forward at the same time. So i find it quite hypocritical that some of the local leaders will call for this officer to be immediately arrested and tried and charged when really the investigation is still ongoing. It is unfair. It is too fast. It is too soon. And i also think that, you know, i saw some of the footage from some of the individuals speaking to crowds yesterday of protesters where, you know, again, theyre saying things that may not be true, theyre saying things that they cant back up with facts. And theyre inciting the crowd that way by putting information out there that simply isnt true. All the facts arent in at the moment. It is going to be quite some time before they are. Absolutely. So i spoke to you about, you know, the guys out in Tactical Gear and some of the things that were used last night, tear gas. People are concerned about that they are in an overmilitarized situation. And by bringing the National Guard in, more of a militarized situation. Do you think that will serve to enflame or to quell some of the violence that is happening. I dont know. I just heard about the National Guard coming in this morning. I dont know what purpose or are what role the National Guard is going to serve. They can certainly come in and be actively involved in the crowd control efforts or suppressing looters and violent acts or they might be working more of a perimeter type detail which would free up more local resources to handle those crowds. I am concerned about the term overmilitarized being used quite often. It is really gaining a lot of popularity. I want to be careful about how we why . Because in the last ten to 15 years what we have seen is certainly, you know, you know, the events of 9 11, increases in School Shootings and violent encounters in workplaces and mass shootings. And so some of that equipment and some of those resources are very commonly used in those situations. Theyre not very very rarely, don, are they ever used just for regular patrol. Lets get to the autopsy. I mentioned you said if you thought you didnt think the autopsy results should be released, the initial autopsy results should be released so soon . You thought that enflamed the situation . It is not my opinion whether or not they should or shouldnt have been, but they were, and now we have to deal with that. So as a member of the Police Department, what do you think of where the shots were, at least six shots and also kill shot they are saying, shots to the head. Im not a forensic pathologist, but what i can tell you from a Law Enforcement view is it is my belief right away we have already eliminated quite a few witness statements from that day that were saying repeatedly that, you know that was a problem early on, folks coming forward with stories that werent accurate or true, so now what you have is a lot of those statements have been eliminated or shown to be false to some level. People see what they see and they may report what they see, but we know thats not always accurate. Right. The president of the st. Louis county Police Association gabe crocker, thank you very much. Kate, again, well be out here, jim, well be out here. There is the family attorneys holding a press conference and new information released throughout the day and we will be here. Sure has been a lot of new information just overnight. You were up very late. We have seen the video of it. You were also in the middle of it. Some of those protests last night, what did you see . We all as from the perspective of the Police Association, one account is not everyones account, sure. But what did you see . It is important. It is important, because i was on the scene and so i am a witness to a lot of it. When my producer and i arrived last night just before the curfew went into effect, obviously we saw a very heavy Police Presence. As we arrived to the scene, we tried to get to an area that was cordoned off and get to the perimeter of that so we can find a place to go. As we drove up, we were in a parking lot and we heard shots. At least six shots. And we drove up and the Police Officer pointed a gun at us, with a flashlight on it and said stop wherever youre going, hands up, we put our hands up and said we are with cnn, were member of the media and the state police backed down and said, okay, i need you to go over there, park there, we get to that place, another Police Officer, same thing, with the gun, with the flashlight on it, hands up, get out of the area, we said that Police Officer over there told us to come over, were members of the media, immediately again backed down. Moments later they said we have been told by the state that the hot zone that youre in now, Everyone Needs to be evacuated and cleared and we immediately left. We had been issued just, you know, this for us, when were not with the police and were not with some of the officers out there this is just to protect us from rubber bullets that may be going off. Again, if the situation becomes very violent, we dont stay. We get out. We do what the police tell us. And this is what every Single Person of our team and every Single Person who is with Law Enforcement, theyre wearing these. We put these on because there have been obviously we have seen gas that has been, you know, hurled into the crowd to try to disperse them and molotov cocktails, this wont protect us from that, but, again, were having to take these precautions and every member of Law Enforcement taking these precautions as well. Last night, you know, i hate to say this, i want to be extremely cautious about the language, but it felt like a city under siege. Not only under siege from the heavy militarized presence that it felt like, but also under siege from some of the residents, some of the people who were there, who were causing problems. Some of the people who are causing the problems and not the good folks, not the law abiding citizens who have every right to protest, the majority of them, but it felt like the community was being terrorized by those people. The good citizens of this community trying to do a good thing and bring light to a situation that needs light shown on it. And thats being overshadowed by people who are looting, stealing, setting off molotov cocktails, shooting at people. It really is disgusting to see and embarrassing not only for the citizens, not only for the man in charge, ron johnson, but also for the family and the legacy of Michael Brown. Kate . Absolutely. And thats an Important Note to end on. It also changes the situation on a dime there on the ground. Thats why you have to be prepared. And when you think youre in the safe zone, you end up being in the hot zone in the next second. Don, thanks so much. Well get back to you throughout the show. Talk to you in a little bit. Up next on new day, one ferguson native is well known to many americans. Well speak with cedric the entertainer, get his take on what it is like to be from the area and also what it is like now to look at this unfolding before our eyes.

Im don lemon live in ferguson, missouri. The National Guard were hearing headed this way after another spike in chaos overtook the city last night. For most of us, what we see of ferguson on television is all we know about this city. But for those who call it home, for those who call it home, the last week has torn a hole in the heart of this community. And one person who knows this area really well is my next guest, cedric the entertainer. He calls ferguson his hometown. He joins us now live this morning from los angeles via skype. Good morning to you, cedric. Im so glad to hear your voice. What do you make of the events that have unfolded . Youve been watching them. Im sure your heart is broken by a lot of it. Yeah, good morning, don. First of all, yeah, my heart is broken by this, of course. The loss of mike brown and to his family, and i just think to watch this degree of National Attention on my city like that, to see this violence being escalated between the police and the citizens is nerve wracking and it is disheartening to see it continue on for this many days. What do you make now that the National Guard is being brought in . Initially, you know, ron johnson, who you know, was wrought in and t brought in and the violence stopped for a couple of days and now it spiked again. What do you make of the National Guard coming in and what do you make of the situation now with ron johnson . Well, i think it is a catch22. One, ive been knowing ron johnson many years, hes a serious person, i think it was the right call to bring him in at the time. It was able to deescalate the situation, those initially. But i do feel that there is a large group, st. Louis is a very racially divided city. And i think that this, you know, the police on one side and some of the citizens feeling like theyre actually on the other side is what is causing this problem, why it continues to be this us against them mentality and not specifically to the officer who should be questioned about the actions he took against mike brown. Mmhmm. Youre right. I live in st. Louis for a while, it is a very racially divided town. People may not realize that. There is everyone will admit, the Police Department, every member at least the brass from the Police Department from the county to the city to ferguson will admit there is some they have to they have soul searching to do. What should police do, not only police, but also the community, to try to get this Community Back together again . Well, i think, you know, again, i heard one of the Police Commissioners you talked to earlier explain. I think that right now it feels like the officer in question is being protected by the blue line that if this situation was the opposite, if a person had attacked the police and they knew exactly who that person was, and they could there was any question that there was, you know, a question of guilt or doubt, that person would be in charge, would be under arrest, or would be being questioned right now. Right now, it feels as though the young man had no weapon, he was shot six times, and the officer is being protected by other officers. So it just feels as though this is what the people the outcry is all about. All about the justice of what the appearance is and where the person is right now. And why hasnt this person been charged or brought in for questioning. Why cant they get to the results or to the bottom line of this nine, ten days later. Again, if this was a regular citizen, and they knew exactly who it was, he would have been arrested immediately and then he would have had to defend himself from there. But right now, this officer is being protected by the situation and this is what got this is what has the young people upset so much. This is why they feel like theyre constantly under attack in the city of st. Louis when it comes to officer stops, when it comes to being profiled. This is what this is why, you know, the leaders cant get this fraction of folks under control. They are upset about it. It happens more often than not. If someone is not necessarily shot or killed, then it is not reported. But it happens more often than not and this is what, you know, the whole kind of underground anarchy is all about toward what im understanding from the people im talking to. They just mad about it. And thats what they and they want something to happen, and they need to see some results. I think the officials have to try to say what theyre going to do about the problem, about the six shots, about the officer in question, and show the people that they are trying to solve this problem as opposed to continuing to attack the people who are protesting. And cedric, you mentioned young people. You have a son. I wonder if you worry about him growing up as a young black man in america and if youre concerned about him being stopped by police. Do you have that conversation with him . Yes, indeed. My son is 13. But i also have it with my daughter, i have a 25yearold daughter right there in st. Louis right now. And that is that is something that, again, in a city that is so racially zrdivided, where th Power Sources are so one group higher than the other, you know, it is something i am very concerned with, raising a child in america about you just being able to comply. But even if you comply, that person still has the right or feel he has the right to dictate his authority any way he pleases at anytime. And that is the thing that is being very questionable right now. And i think that these are the kind of, you know, the messages that we try to get across to our kids to comply with the Police Officers, but, again, in these short these sometimes instances when the officer takes it upon his own authority to be the to be the ultimate authority, you know, it is hard to, you know, question someone, you know, rising up against you. You know, cedric, it is so important that your voice be heard as someone who comes from this community and someone who really has a platform and people listen to you and has authority. I really appreciate you coming on. Anytime you want to come back, we will have you. Thank you, cedric. Thanks, don. I want people to abide by the laws, though. Right now, keep calm. Do what the family says, st. Louis. All right. Thank you, cedric the entertainer. And, kate, you know, his voice is very important. Very important that someone like cedric the entertainer be heard. He has a lot of influence and a lot of power and you hear him calling for peace. He says abide by the law, st. Louis. Back to you, guys. Thats the Important Message that seems to be said over and over, but has not yet been heard obviously enough quite yet. Don. You get a sense from a conversation like that, this ferguson event is really just scratching the surface of a larger conversation about race. Absolutely. Visions, hopes, dreams, segregation, you name it. And cedric got to that very well. Greet have his voice there.

Com for the latest. Now breakig news out of iraq and the battle for a Strategic Dam that supplies power to millions and the water behind it could threaten the lives of millions. The u. S. Launching moren th ini dozen air strikes helping kurdish fighters on the ground. Cnns Nick Paton Walsh made his way to that dam. Do we know is in control of it now . What im seeing here and behind me is the best view, really, we had so far of water and the dam itself. Now, step out of the shot here, so that our cameraman can zoom in closer. You can see the plume of black smoke, it is joined occasionally by other plumes of black smoke. I should add pretty much all this morning as we have gone around this area, gone around christian villages, talking to people who have been fleeing, once to a monastery in one case, simply for their lives. We heard the roar of jets in the sky. Clearly u. S. Firepower being brought in. Were not sure if theyre being used near this dam. Because it is a very fragile piece of infrastructure, but clearly in evidence throughout the area to heavy weapons being used here now. In terms of what people are saying, this dam, to the left of that piece of black smoke youre seeing, that is pretty much where the Kurdish Forces, peshmerga have advanced to. To the right of it, that is still held by isis. Front lines changing of course. We dont have complete clarity of how successful this battle has been so far. But the key worry is that this idea it would have taken a matter of hours. Now were talking about days. A lot of firepower being used and you can see hundreds of thousands of metric tons of water being held back by this piece of infrastructure. Jim . Thanks to Nick Paton Walsh on the ground.

The National Guard being deployed to try and keep the peace in ferguson, missouri. This after another night of intense protests over the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Early this morning, i had the opportunity to speak with page crenshaw, an eyewitness to the shooting. She provided exclusive video of the immediate aftermath to us here at cnn. She joined me here with her attorney and described what she saw. I am so glad to speak to you. You were there that night, you can tell us from a very different perspective what went on because you witnessed it all. You waited until now to release this video. Why is that . Well, because, more importantly concerned with my safety, of course, and because the media didnt release the name until several days after it happened. So the officer. Yes, Darren Wilson, put the name with the face and i think this is relative information of most people. You mentioned you were concerned about your safety. Do you have reason to fear . Well, i didnt, but just, you know, thoughts from my attorney maybe i should just what is going through your mind as this all is happening. Take me back to the moment. Why did you feel a need to record what was going on outside the window . Okay, from it all initially happening, i knew this was not right. I knew i knew the police shouldnt have been chasing this young boy and firing at the same time. And the fact he got shot in his face, it was something that clicked in me, like, somebody else needs to see this. This isnt right, i got to record. You pulled out your cell phone cam are and started rolling. How long after it all happened . You saw the whole scenario play out, right . Yes, maam. But i waited a good 30 seconds, i had to run in my house, get my phone, i had to put on the camera and just Start Recording what i saw. Walk me through that. 30 seconds. So what were looking at is officer Darren Wilson to the right. Hes just looking over the body, just looking baffled and bewildered of sorts, like, trying to explain to the officer what had i just done. And then we get this picture of him pacing back and forth just, like, in disbelief, so, like, it is like he it is like he understands he just shot this boy in the face and that this boy was unarmed. And to me, this video, seems relative for this time period, especially including the fact that chief jackson said that the reason that this video wasnt even on the media at the time when it should have been is because he wanted to get all the information out the same time, you know, under the freedom of information act, but they could have easily given these videos as well because they confiscated my phone. Lets go back to that in a second. They so take me back to the moment when you see a tussle at the police cruiser. What was going on . What happened . Okay, well, from my point of view, i cannot tell exactly what was going on, but it looked as if he was trying to pull him almost into the car the officer pulled michael into the car . It looked like he was trying to do such. And brown being a bigger fellow, that didnt seem to be working. He got away. And then just seemed to have upset the officer. And then what happened . Got out his and started chasing after the boy. Im hearing shots fired. Clearly none of them hit him. But one did graze him as they said in the autopsy report. And at the end, he just turned around after im guessing he felt the bullet graze his arm, he turned around and he was shot multiple times. The autopsy is now showing that he was shot from the front, not the back. Exactly. Ask does that scare with what you saw . Definitely. He was runni ning away. When he turned toward the cop, thats when he let off the most shots. Lets go to the point, i hear your voice, you sound really upset. I havent even lived there a month. I had just moved there, out of my parents home. To see Something Like this outside of my window, as im trying to go to work, it is traumatizing. What have you made of the Ferguson Police department . Have you ever seen them on the streets, interacting with any of the officers before, prior to this incident . Yes, at first i did feel comfortable living in my apartment because there was a Police Presence around constantly. Police driving up and down the streets, you know, the crime is a little more over there. But now it just doesnt seem like you can trust them. Then the police take your cell phone from you, take the video. Yes. How did that all happen . Okay, well, from my point of view, as soon as they start putting the yellow tape around, the family starts coming up just screaming and asking what happened. Nobody is giving them answers. Me and my boss were like we saw everything. Were on top of my balcony, we saw everything. And, of course, i guess the police are standing there too, so they brought us all down for questioning. Which then myself almost confiscated for the video. How long did it take to get the phone back . It happened saturday. They told me i would get it back on monday but i didnt get it back until later on tuesday. You just moved to this area a month ago. You had all of this happen. You witnessed the death of the young man. I know this has been a really traumatizing time for you. I appreciate you coming out to speak to us. A big thank you to your attorney for coming along to provide some support to you. We wish you well, okay . Thank you so much for speaking to us and giving thus video to help tell the story. No problem. You barely caught that, she said she wants justice for Michael Brown. It is interesting, talked to her in the green room afterwards and she mentioned it felt as though a really big storm cloud had descended over her city and she hopes it can clear so they can take a look at what happened and investigate it and, again, find justice for Michael Brown. She just moved there. I was saying this to you, she just moved out of her parents home, first month on her own, and this happens. Shes a teenager, 19, 18. Yeah. Caught up in something. Incredible poise considering what shes been through. Thats right. Well take a short break on new day. New suggestions that the white house may have ignored early warnings about isis spreading from syria to iraq. Well discuss all of. So i can reach ally bank 24 7, but there are no branches . 24 7 its just im a little reluctant to try new things. Whats wrong with trying new things . Feel that in your muscles . Yeah. I do. Try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. Help keep teeth clean and breath fresh. With beneful healthy smile snacks.

Air strikes are helping Kurdish Forces on the ground in iraq as they try to regain control of a crucial dam in mosul that fsupplies power to millions. President obama is defending the strikes. How much of the events playing out today in iraq is in part a result of poor decisionmaking in the white house earlier . Well, in consideration of syria. And is the american help too little too late now . Lets talk about it with a former u. S. Ambassador to syria, robert fordham. Great to have you. Thanks for coming in. My pleasure. You made pretty clear to the daily beast josh rogan in a piece that the warnings of the isis surge were there. And were made pretty plain plainly made to the white house. Did you feel like you were ignored . The state department made clear to others in the United States government, in 2012, that there was an extremist element growing in syria. Drawing help from iraq at the time. And that if there was a power vacuum, especially in eastern syria, we would have a huge problem. And, in fact, that hes what we said in 2012 and thats what has happened today. Thats a matter of history and the record. The bigger question, i think, now is Going Forward, given what has happened in iraq, and what is going on in syria, what can the administration do to contain the Islamic State, which is clearly a threat. Well, what is your prescription if you will . What do you think the United States can and should do at this point to contain it . Do you think at this point theyre in a position of too little, too late . No, i do not think it is too little too late, far from it. They have had some success in iraq over the past week, as you just mentioned. They seem to have blunted the Islamic States advance in northern iraq. American air strikes combined with friendly fighters on the ground, kurdish fighters, and also Iraqi Special forces fighters and it is interesting that the kurds and Iraqi Special forces are fighting together. I suspect thats being done with american coordination and thats a good sign. There is some success in iraq. The real question then is some success in iraq, but the problem is also in syria and what do you do about syria now . I want to ask you about that. I need to get your take. The president s remarks in an interview with the New York Times has gotten a lot of attention. When he said that it is always been a fantasy that arming the rebels in syria, the moderate opposition would have made a difference. What do you make of that . It is simply something it is a policy debate. But i think the record is clear that the syrian uprising in 2012 was dominated not by extremists, but by moderate people. They needed help because the extremist element i mentioned which was growing in 2012, had better funding coming up from friends and private circles in the gulf, the moderates pleaded with us for money and for weapons to compete for recruits with the extremist groups. They did not get that help. And the extremists, not a surprise, with their money, were able to get recruits and were able to grow. Well, you said to Christiane Amanpour after you left your post, i was no longer in a position where i felt i could defend the american policy. You went on to say that we have been unable to address either the root causes of the conflict in terms of fighting on the ground, and on the balance on the ground. So in your mind, is there really even a policy debate about this question of is it a fantasy in terms of what the president thinks . Because you think youre right . Well, there is a debate going on in washington right now. But i think it is incumbent on those to say there is nothing we can do in syria to then say how do you address the National Security threat emanating from syria in the form of the Islamic State and other Al Qaeda Linked extremists. You cannot ignore it given what we have had in our own history, dating back to 9 11 and other threats to america National Security since then. In iraq, what we see is forces, friendly to us, with our help, have been able to blunt much of what the Islamic State has done. I think that same approach needs to be taken in syria. What is the hesitancy in your view coming from you were on the inside, what is the hesitancy within the administration to do just that . Well, i dont pretend to speak for the president and the Senior Leadership now. Ive retired. I think the real question will be for them, a, identifying the right Friendly Forces and there are certainly many on the ground, so there is going to be some analytical work that can be done, but that analytical work can be done. And, second, mobilizing the resources of the United States government to channel the assistance, much as we have done in iraq. It does not require American Forces to put boots on the ground in syria, far, far from it. One question has been all along how much of a threat is isis . Isis is clearly a threat to the region. But from your perspective, how much of a threat to the United States is isis . Well, i dont think the United States is the Islamic State ofs number one target now. The Islamic States number one target right now is the shia led government in baghdad and the moderate opposition, what is left of it, in syria. So but over the medium term, the Islamic State has already publicly stated, look at their twitter feeds, for example, theyre very open about the fact that they intend to bring jihad at some point to europe and to the United States itself. I take them at their word. The fighting continues on the ground for a key dam to regain control of the key dam in mosul that were seeing it all play out in real time. Ambassador robert ford, thank you, mr. Ambassador. Great to have you here. My pleasure. Of course. Coming up next on new day, the very latest from ferguson. The National Guard is on the way.
