Led to his indictment. Dozens of my grants are discovered camelot healthcare, llced into a container one is dead. We cannot allow the ill will of the few to undermine the goodwill of the many. Excuse me, governor. You need to charge that police with murder. Yeah. Members of the community demand action at a News Conference in ferguson monsieurier e. Our top story of, reaction to another night of unrest in ferguson. The governor kavrz calls for state of emergency during an emotional News Conference that wrapped up an hour ago. Lets get right to the scene where ashhar, there is no doubt that the community is angry and they want answers absolutely thomas. Today what we are seeing is yet another change in the strategy when it comes to dealing with the security thats been a problem here in ferguson over the last week after what we saw as a lull in the escalation for the last two nights. Protesting turned violent as looting once again returned, we did see a heavy contingency of Police Officers once again on the streets and thats something that the governor could no longer ignore. Last night, except for a very now, the folks on the streets of ferguson last night were peaceful demonstrators we saw a pattern develop last night small groups took to the streets with the intent of committing crimes and endangering citizenstha. Thats unacceptable. So to protect the people and property of ferguson today also, i signed an order declaring a state of emergency and early implementation of a curfew. That curfew is in effect from midnight to 5 00 a. M. Sunday. The governor went on to say that they would reassess it in the morning to see how the night went. People in the crowd there in front of the governor alsoancies rye about this decision. They heckled, they talked about whether or not there were other ways to deal with this. And one of the things that we heard from was, people addressing ron johnson, the superintendent of the Highway Patrol taking charge of the security situation asking him if that curfew would be moved back. Tonight, we will enforce that curfew. We wont enforce it with trucks. We wont enforce it with tear gas. We will communicate. We will talk about, you know what . Its time to go home. Its time to go home last night things were different that precipitated that. Someone standing straight, there is not going to be an armour ordered truck. People got a chance to get up. One question is how the curfew is going to be enforced. They didnt get into the details as to what would happen if people refused to leave the area. Last night, they continued to announce if people did not disperse, they would be arrested. They did not go so far to say that would happen tonight and that they did say as we heard in that sound byte that they wouldnt be using tear gas but behind me here, the mobile command center its busy. We have seen officers putting on gas masks, it could be a hostile night tonight. Hostility it was in that News Conference. Excuse me. You need to charge that police with murder. This press conference has been turned into an explanation of why you are controlling peoples anger and supervise suppressing peoples anger and telling people to calm down. Why is that the case . Splau. Is there anything about the length of the state of emergency . We are going to get situational information tomorrow morning and make a decision. Once again, as you heard there, some of the frustration being expressed is how people are perceiving this investigation into the death of Michael Brown saying that there is little trans piece and that there is little movement. There have been no charges filed against that officer named this week and thats something they want to see happen quickly but again, they are saying that the due process has to continues. Natural happens, they have to deal with the security on the ground and as we mentioned, the security on the ground is a major issue. Last night, once again, erupting into violence as police faced off with protesters who began looting. In a flash, a clash between protest and police erupted into violent looting. Several businesses, a beauty supply, a liquor store and a cell phone shop were broken into. Goods hauled out by the arm load. By dawn, the cleanup was underway. I had a breakin he. Stl cordless when the Security System alerted him of a breakin, he tried to check it out. Police told him to wait. When i got to the street, i couldnt get anywhere close to the neighborhood. We are coming together. Pastor ikel johnson is hoping to address what the police could not, keeping the peace by standing vigil. Last night, we were out there for example a there were looters and protest orders. Protesters tried to prevent some looting. They couldnt do it how do you think you are going to be able to do that . I think we can do it where there is unity, there is strength. We have enough powerful pastors and preachers in leadership roles that a lot of those kids thats doing all of that, doing all of that crime and looting, they know them. And when they see their face, i guarantee you, that will give them a change of heart. Even if a curfew stems the temporary violence, pastor johnson knows his mission is ongoing. In unity, we have strength. Its just like the military. One military solid cant do it without the unit. Thomas, as mentioned this is another part here earlier in the week it was a heavy contingency of armored vehicles, of police in riot gear, highpowered rifles. That turned into a different sploech with the muds your e Highway Patrol taking a soft approach. Once again, that curfew begins at midnight. Having a few audio issues. Ashhar, thank you. We invite you to join us as we take a look at the crisis. The investigation into Michael Browns death and the response by police, a deeper look at 8 00 p. M. Eastern, 5 pacific. A humanitarian crisis festers amid fierce fighting in iraq. At least 80 civilians are reportedly dead and dozens more missing after witnesses say fighters from the group known as the Islamic State stormed a yazid ivillage executing men and making off with women and children. In the capital baghdad, Prime Minister nouri almalaki has disagreed to step aside. The Obama Administration says the u. S. May provide more aid but that pledge of support depends upon proof that a new inclusive government will be formed seeming to acknowledge that condition. Iraqts incoming prime primary tweeted in english hinted at the formation of an inclusive regime. 15 Islamic State fighters were killed in another round of airstrikes as the u. S. Tries to push back the Islamic State fighters. U. S. Military strikes targeted the positions in sinjar as well as around the mosul dam but the Islamic State group controls that territory. Wiunderstand up to 15 fighters were killed in those attacks but the pesh managera forces on the ground have not been able to advance to recapture this territory. This is not going to be an easy fight. The Islamic State group is well armed and well trained and the u. S. Air strikes really, the objective is to weaken the group, to defend the kurdish region as well as to protect minorities, not to defeat them. This is going to require a whole new plan. They are going to need international partners. They are nothing going to need partners on the ground. But the airstrikes have not prevented what officials here are calling a new massacre against the yaziti minority southwest of sinjar up to 80 men were executed by the Islamic State group and they captured an unknown number of women and children. So the humanitarian crisis is continuing. The u. S. Administration as well as International Community pressuring the new Prime Minister and iraq to form an inclusive and broad based government as soon as possible because unless iraqs political fashions unite, it will be very hard to defeat the Islamic State group. Some have criticized the United States for providing support to iraqi in the fight against the Islamic State but not doing so for syria. Earlier, former u. N. As bam dor david newton spoke to al jazeera about why the u. S. Is active in one country and not the other. We are protecting the minorities in iraq who were directly threatened and, of course, many of the yazidis who were killed, i think, were very concerned about being draup into an openended struggle and you certainly can only do a limited amount with the air power that we have available in the region. Ambassador newton, it certainly a humanitarian catastrophfee what is happening to the yazitis in iraq. In syria over the last couple of years, the estimate of the number of people dead is way more than 100,000. I am wondering why the United States is doing it now. What about when the is overtook mosul in iraq or syria. Why didnt it provide military support them then . As i say, airstrikes can only do a limited amount of damage, especially, we only have one air claire cast year at the moment. And if people mobilize to attack with heavy weapons they have captured in iraq, you have a possible target. But its impossible really to try to bomb people individual, individuals and groups of people who are moving back and forth and killing and the signatures, of course, in syria is much more chaotic than it is in iraq. Christians are also bearing brunt of purse cushion in iraq. Rula amin reports on one group of christians who made it to lebanon. Desperate Iraqi Christians line up on a hot august day to receive food rations. The Caldean Church is organizing this Food Distribution from those who fled from the violence in their country years ago and those who just arrived from northern iraq. Like maria butros, she arrived in lebanon three days ago. We were scared. Its very hard to leave everything behind and just flee. They all tell of the same stories. Johnny has been here for just over a month and been living off of charity. A Christian Lebanese family paid his rent for this small apartment where he lives with his wife and three girls. Our children, our muslim neighbors said you better run before they come and kill you. Johnny says he was scared and left everything he owns behind they uprooted us from our own land, his wife says, referring to the armed group, the Islamic State that forced them out of iraq. These are not muslims. We dont know where they came from. They have no religion. We lived with muslims for over 40 years. This group have nothing to do with islam. This assyrian priest had been organizing a campaign to help the Iraqi Christians who managed to get to lebanon. He says he is fruchtstrated. Whats happening in mosul is that people are being uprooted from their land much whats just as worrying is that the International Community silence, so far shy voices, demanding pressure to stop the massacres. This family came from karkush, near mosul, now under Islamic States full control. This one room apartment became home for this family of six after they ran away from their town. She says there is no more room for christians to live in iraq anymore. We never imagine anything like this would happen. Nobody expected this. It was likely a horror movie, he tells me. Everyone was terrified. His children cry every day wanting to go back to their home in iraq, but he says he is not going back no matter what. We want security. We want stability. Enough wars in iraq. We need a break. So his girls spent the day lying on this bed waiting for something to change. Rula amin, al jazeera, beirut. Tonight, a 5day ceasefire is Still Holding in gaza ne on or aboutations on a permanent tries between israel and gaza resume tomorrow. The European Union offered a deal to take charge of gazas border crossings if hamas agrees to disarm the fighters. And is reef lift its blockade. Israel says it hasnt agreed to any such deal. Dockers found 35 people locked in a argo container. One was dead. Joan a hull reports. Police have launch add homicide investigation. It was a grim scene that awaited workers on saturday morning as they unloaded cargo off of a father in belgium. Staff here at the port became aware of screaming and banging coming from a container from that particular ship or that particular ferry. As a result of that noise, the star were alerted and immediately breached the cover tainer to find 35 persons within that unit. The police do not know where the shipping container originated and would say only that they believe those inside came from the indian sub continent. Did they have any why when they set off that this was how they would arrive in the United Kingdom . 35 patients were found in the container when we first arrived this morning just after a quarter until 7. One of those patients has been pronounced deceased at the scene. The man who died had suffered a heart attack. This is now a Murder Investigation in cooperation with european authorities and interpol. This is in my view from what we have seen so far organized crime. No end up with 35 people in a container for no reason. Somebody is behind this. We have a homicide. We need to investigate and we need to bring owneders to justice in this country or any other. Members of the group, children among them, were treated for hypothermia and dehydration at a number of hospitals. They have been at scene for 12 hours on this final leg of their journey. Its not known yet what means of transport, what conditions might have brought them to the belgian coast. This is one of the hospitals that a number of those people were brought to, to recover. The police have described it as a humanitarian situation. It is, of course, also a criminal one and it is a reminder to the u. K. Border authorities of the ever more devious dangerous and ultimately lengths that criminal gangs are prepared to go to, to smuggle illegal my grants into this country. Johnna hull, al jazeera longsdon. Texas governor rick perry faces the cameras. I wholeheartedly and unequivocally stand behind my veto. More on his fight against 1k3w50i89 charges ahead. Then our cover continues to the shooting death of missouri teen Michael Brown. We look at the racial make up of the police force in ferguson and why some say recruiting more black officers may not help to improve race relations. For the streets of ferguson to the streets of harlem in new york where residents are protesting what they call a Smear Campaign against Michael Brown. Face can charges alleging abuse of power, a defiant rick perry addressed his indictment today calling it a farce. We dont settle political differences with indictments in this country. It is outrageous this some would use partisan political they are at tricks to rip away at the very fabric of our states constitution. This indictment amounts to nothing more than abuse of power. And i cannot and i will not allow that to happen. Governor perry facing very serious charges. Our Mike Viqueira has more on this story. Reporter appearing before the press, Texas Governor rick perry called the charges outrageous, trumped up by his political enemies. We dont settle political differences with indictments in this country. Friday, ab austin grand jury charged perry with abuse of a official capacity and coercion of a public servant, both felonies. You have been arrested for dwi. The thread of events that led to the charges began last year when rosemary lehmberga District Attorney was arrested for drunk drive can. She pled guilty and served 45 days in prison. Led perry to declare her unfit for. Unless she resigned, perry vowed he would ve tote 7. 5 million for the Public Integrity unit which she leads. She wouldnt quit. Perry went through with his threat. He vetoed the funding. Led the grand jury to charge the governor with abuse of power. I said early on that i was going to clearly veto those dollars as long as they had someone in that office who i had lost confidence in. And i did exactly what i said i would do. Perry hasnt ruled out another run for president in 2016. After his 2012 run collapsed after a series of gaffes. Lets see. I cant. The third one, i cant. Sorry. Oops. The question now, will the indictments hurt his chances for next time . Many republicans see the charges as blatantly political brought by a prosecute and a grand jury in austin, a liberal island in the sea of texan republican red and a Prominent National democrat, ton Campaign David axle rode tweeting the charges seem sketchy. If they dont stick, they will give democrats an avenue of attack. He will go through a series of embarrassing events, getting arraigned, having to appear in court is going to be damaging just visually for texass longest serving governor, a political future that is suddenly more cloudy. Mike viqueira, al jazeera, washington. I want to welcome david lemonthal san recovery reporter. Good to have you with us . Good to be with you. The governor held his ground, calling it a political attack. Does he survive this indictment . He could survive this indictment. It makes me think back to kay bailey hutchisontiously the long time senator from texas who served many years. She was indicted back in the early 1990s on issues that werent too dissimilar from what we have right now. Of course, she had a very, very notable political career before finally, retiring. So, yes, its entirely possible that he can go forward, still have a political career. Of course, he is not going to run for governor again but everyone pretty much has him on their shot list for republican candidates. There could be a platinum li
