Between the public and the police . Well take a look at them. Another typhoon bearing down op the philippines. The island nation braces for another monster storm. Well, it is 1 00 a. M. In new york city right now where a night of sprawling night is winding down. Marching peacefully through manhattan, times square, across the Brooklyn Bridge and back again. Several dozen people have been arrested. The protests stretched across the u. S. From atlanta to pittsburgh to oakland. In chicago, demonstrators marched up Michigan Avenue and brought traffic to a stand still on lake shore drive. Theyre staging what they call a diein just blocks away from the white house. So many people are angry over what they sas aggressive and discriminatory practices by police. Were joined now live with the very latest. You were relaying just last hour, in fact, some incredible stories about some of the protesters there. Tell us what is happening right now and what you would say are the standout experiences in the last hour youve been covering this. Sure. Right now its very calm. Youre in the middle of times square here in new york city. Theres a man dresed as the statute of liberty. He said to me, im very happy to see this happening today. I think whats really struck me are the types of people that came out to protest. We got here in times square around 7 00, 7 30. And there were only a handful of folks. Cy really got the opportunity to know some of the people protesting. They were having a conversation about race relations. One of the men said i knew it was going to be a peaceful protest. There were dozens and dozens of people being arrested. And there was some confrontation with the cops. And one really standout moment to me was there was a cop on the side of the road and a whole group of protesters. And one ringleader said let us through, sir. I dont know why youll not let us pass. He kept saying sir and please. His way of protesting was very, very interesting. The cops did not want to let them pass and eventually they did. People were laying down, chapting hands up, dont shoot. One woman said to me, i wanted to bring my daughter here because i wanted her to see it. They heard the protests going on and she said, you know, this is an historical moment, we need to watch this. Another quick story, i was talking to a handful of protesters. One pulled me aside and he showed me a card that said friend of the nypd. He said my brother is part of the nypd. Were not here to protest the cops. We believe cops provide security, but he said we are here to protest the excessive force. And i think what was interesting ant tonight, even as we sit in times square, this is a place where tourists come to take pictures of new york at its finest, you know, to have people and protesters out here and seeing these tourists taking pictures of them and wondering what is this conversation. Because there was definitely a conversation happening tonight that people thought was just so important. They wanted to be out here and protesting. Back to you. A lot of people saying this is a sign of change. Its going to be some new change, new developments and well be watching them and covering them. Laura see ggal thank you so muc. Eric garners mother says she has not watched the entire video of her son being put in a chokehold before his death, but she says she doesnt understand how anyone who did could not think there was enough evidence to move forward with her sons case. She talked with err richb buin. I could not believe they didnt come back with probable cause to send this case to trial. It was devastating to me. I couldnt even answer the phone call after i heard the decision. I just wonder as ive been saying all day and all yesterday, what video was they watching . Because obviously it wasnt the one that the whole world was watching. Officer pantaleo has spoken since this verdict. He released a statement and said my family and i include him, talking about your son, in his family and our prayers prk i hope they accept our personal condolences for their loss. I know youve had time to think about that apology. Do you accept that apology . Is that something you even want to hear from him . I would not accept that apology on the strength of, he gave no consideration on my son when he was choking him and my son was begging for his life. That was time for a apology. He should have got up off of him, and let him breathe. Thats the apology that i would have wanted. Then i would have still had my son, he might have been incapacitated, but maybe i would have still had him. People are protesting tonight. They are even more organized than they were last night. Protests around this country, around the city, around the world. How does that make you feel that theyre out there for your son. That really warms my heart to see that people are out there and they are actually protesting in the name of my son eric garner. They saw what i saw. I was overwhelmed and pleased they would do that. And for that officer to ask for forgiveness after he has taken away my son, a person that i will never see again in life, and he goes home to his family every night . He sits up and watched tv or play games with his family. And i cant do that . That really breaks my heart. Eric garners mother talking with erin burnett earlier. Do stay with cnn as we keep on top of this story. Coming up in the next halfhour, Police Departments across the country are paying millions of dollars for body cameras. We will see how effective they been. But for now, i want to turn to another story we are watching very closely as well. Isis says it has sent a message to the Kurdish People of northern iraq. The group claims responsent for a suicide car bomb in kirkuk. 17 people were killed and 22 wounded. The kurds military has been instrumental in holding isis at bay in northern iraq. And its even sent fighters to help defend the kurdish city of kobani in northern syria. Isis also claims responsibility for two car bombings in the shiite strong hold of a baghdad neighborhood. Those attacks left at least 21 dead and 69 wounded. Well, kobani has been under siege by isis militants for months now. And most residents have fled for safety. But some do remain, despite the constant violence there. Kobani feels haunted by those who are still alive in it. Inhumane enough that the Coalition War planes above is a strange comfort. The destruction so near complete the fight is more now for victory alone, not for its spoils. Hereby here they even given up on hospitals. This, the last one flattened by a car bomb. You can see with month months has done. In the near future, still, the fighting persists. The shelling, almost constant, so much of it caused by crude homemade devices like this. Children besieged. Usef can list his friends who left. But they show us their only option. What they do when the blasts start. Their uncle taught them to hide like this. This couldnt be further from play time, though. There are the remnants of lives enjoyed, but also of lives taken early. A week earlier, his young daughter was killed by a random mortar, the sorts that are still falling. Three to four mortars fell near us, he said. The first we escaped from, the second we escaped from, then the third fell on us. My daughter was 7 years old. 7 years old, and she died. God bless and help us. He brought his six daughters and the 150 sheep they live off here after ice attacked their nearby village. He could not leave the flock or the family car and flee to safety in turkey. She was 7 years old. She was so beautiful. Small. People who saw her felt the need to lift her up and down and play. He went to her grave the day before and sat there for 30 minutes. It is the graveyard that tells you about the near future and the mor distant one. A trench dug, next to those they have already buried. Headstones from rubble. Again, a morbid playground. Too young to fathom the life around them. Were going to take a short break. But just ahead, a mysterious woman dressed in black has been arrested for murder in abu abu dhabi. Police say they foiled her second attack.

A big worry is that it could strike tacloban where many than 6,000 people were killed by a super typhoon just a year ago. For the latest, the cnn affiliate 9 tv joins us five from tacloba. Thanks for talking with us. Given what happened 13 months ago when hayan hit, just how prepared are people this time. And just how vulnerable do they feel . . Tacloban in central fi philippines is the ground zero of last years deadly storm. More than 6,000 people were killed. With reminders that hayan has left of its massive devastation in many of the communalities here. Residents are no longer waiting for authorities to tell them to flee to higher grounds. This is this is in the face of a new typhoon, new new tomorrow that typhoon hagupit that is expected to hit the country rather than to hit the region this weekend. So youre saying people are using their own initiative. They are fleeing the area. But what preparations are the government underdoing at this hoint . The majority is to evacuate 15,000 families who are living in temporary shelters. Many of these families are staying in concrete buildings, such as schools and offices located inland communities. Theyre far from coastal areas. A number of Business Establishments did not open today. Classes have also been suspended since wednesday. This gives residents the option to find safer places to stay. Police and military men have been deployed here to provide security in case theres a breakdown of law and order in the aftermath. Dreadful scenes, horrifying scenes coming from tacloban 13 months ago. Thank you so much for joining us. We have derek van dam and meteorologist here at cnn. What happened over a year from now. 6,000 people lost their lives. It was wiped out. It made a direct landful. Were predicting the next storm to move just slightly north of tacloban which will spare it from the extreme parts of the storm. Nonetheless, areas across the entire central philippines need to be on high alert. You can see some of the preparations that theyre already putting in place, rosemary, hundreds of thousands of sandbags being utilized across tacloban and the east central portions of the philippines. Information from the joint Typhoon Warning Center. 230 kilometres per hour winds sustained at the moment. This has dropped just below super sty foon status. Im not in the business of minimalizing or diminishing the threat on this storm. Its going to pack quite a punch for the central and eastern portions of the philippines. Lets talk about that track, the path of the eye wall of this storm. Different computer models and different meteorological agencies say slightly different things. We all understand that a slight shift in the pattern, 50 kilometers to the north or to the south can have very big impacts. This is what were thinking at the World Weather center here at cnn. The eastern and northeastern sections of samar island across the central philippines, expected for a direct land fall with this storm sometime late saturday evening and into early sunday morning. So residents really need to be on the lookout. Again, the joint Typhoon Warning Center has put in whats called the path of uncertainty. You can see how wide this path actually is. So again, if that shifts slightly to the north, or slightly to the south, that can mean completely different scenarios for places like tacloban for instance. This is the latest public storm warnings. Signal one and signal two ext d extended across the central and eastern philippines. We have 12 Million People in line for feeling the impacts for typhoon strength winds. Weve highlighted the major threats for the storm. Coastal storm surge, two to four meters possible. 200 to 400 millimeters of hateful. That means localized flooding for this region. And we cant forget about the typhoonstrength winds were expecting across central portions of the philippines. Heres our latest computer model from the cnn World Weather center. Taking it just north of tacloban. Look at these impressive hateful totals. Exceeding 350 millimeters. Possibility of flash flooding. Theres heavy winds as we make land fall. We have a busy situation to say the least in the World Weather center. But where the storm makes land fall, all residents in the central philippines need to pay a close eye to this storm and all of our weather updates. As we talked before and saw 13 months ago, certainly that area, theres not a lot of places to go. A lot of people, as we heard have evacuated and theyre trying to move to higher ground. But its tough. A case of nowhere to run. Appreciate it. Well, all right. Just ahead here on cnn, another american hostage in the middle east appears in a video. The warning his captors are giving to the United States. Ive been called a control freak. I like to think of myself as more of a control. Enthusiast. Mmm, a perfect 177degrees. And thats why this road warrior rents from national. I can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. And i dont have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. And i dont.

Whew credit karma. Really free credit scores. Welcome back. Another notorious terrorist group has sent a deadline in the United States. Al qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula has released a video purportedly showing a british born american citizen whom the group is threatening to kill. As Jonathan Mann reports, its all the more troubling because the u. S. Came close to rescuing the man just days ago. My name is luke somers. Hes hardly a house hold name and u. S. Authorities hope to keep it that way, asking cnn to not identify him in their reporting. But now al qaeda in the ararian peninsula has released a video threatening to kill sors. He doesnt specify the demands and washington hasnt either. Somers, a photojournalist has been captive since september of last year. Just last week, he missed being rescued in a shadowy raid that freed eight hostages. Sors was among another group that had been moved to a different location just days before. In the video, he says that he knows his life is in danger and he wants help to get out. My name is luke somers. Im 33 years old. I was born in england but i carry american citizenship and have lived in america for most of my life. This is believed to be the first time that al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, active in yemen and saudi arabia has threatened to murder a western hostage. Isis is infamous for its hostage videos, but its a departure for somers captors. Washington and his family arent saying anything publicly about it. A sputtering economy, the rue bell near record lows and withering sanctions from the west, none of that seem to body Vladimir Putin thursday when the russian president gave his annual state of the Union Address to parliament. His spoech accused the west of what he called pure sinnism about the kries snis ukraine. And he vowed russia will face up to its challenges and emerge stronger. Listen. These instruments are switched on immediately. However, there is no point in talking to russia from a position of strength opinion even when russia faces internal difficulties, as it was in the 1990ed and beginning of 2000s. Before the speech, militants attacked a police post and other targets in the russian republic of chechnya. Antiterrorism officials there say at least eight militants have been killed and Security Forces are combing buildings, neutralizing explosives. Earlier reports say ten officers died fighting the militants. Well take another short break here on cnn. But just ahead, much more on our top story. The protests of the chokehold death of eric garner. We look at the larger issue of the u. S. Justice system and race. Will garners death be the Tipping Point for change . And one change many people want, body cameras on Police Officers. How much will they cost and would they even make a difference . Stay with us. Boy once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. One day, it started to rain. The house tried to keep out all the water, but water got inside and ruined everybodys everythings.
