CNNW Early Start With John Berman And Christine Romans August 10, 2015

Rights and we want to be as patient as possible. Message to those who are looting. [ shots fired ] get down. Gunfire. [ gunfire continues ] take cover. One officer was hurt by a hurled brick. A laceration to the face. None were injured in the exchange of fire. I want to go to ferguson right now. Cnns sara sidner was there interviewing the interim police chief when the shots rang out. We know that the suspect who they think shot at police is in the hospital in unstable condition. Gravely wounded in surgery. Walk us through, sara, what happened. Reporter we dont know exactly what happened with the shooting of the person that police engaged. What we do know is where we were standing was a barrage of gunshots. The police line standing on west florissant trying to get about three dozen protesters to move back, we know that shooting did not happen at that police line where the protesters were standing. We can tell you it was at least several hundred yards away. It wasnt two or three. It was 10 or 15 or 18 gunshots that went off. Then after that, we heard another round of gun shots going off. Of course, as soon as they went off, everyone took cover. All of the police, all of the protesters gathered. The police were telling people to get out of the streets and take cover. Everyone did that. After that point in time, we were told by police about an hour later that someone had been shot and it was an officerinvolved shooting. The initial shooting, we still do not know who was involved in that. From our advantage point, it wasnt the officers on the protest line. Something happened far away from th that. We are trying to get details. It was a chaotic scene. We are hearing some details from st. Louis and the police chief there. St. Louis county police chief john belmar. In the meantime, plain clothed detectives were down north from where we were at the time in ferguson and west florissant. They were monitoring an individual in the crowd they believed was armed. They believe three or four of his acquaintances were armed also. They had put a 1068 or informational bulletin out over the radio that this individual, they described him, was armed and we should be aware of it in that area. The concern of the detectives also at the time was that are we going to get in the situation where perhaps shots could be fired. The skirmish line. The officers are standing there. They are standing behind the folks out there protesting and voicing their opinions. So, i dont know exactly what time it was. Some of this was captured on local media to where several shots rang out. Im guessing 40 or 50. Probably over 45 seconds. It could have been a little bit longer than that. That was an exchange of gunfire between two groups. These groups were on the west side of west florissant near the sams market. At the same time, these plain clothed detectives are located one building to the south of where the actual shooting, the officer involved shooting, is going to take place. The individual they are tracking crosses the street. He gets all the way to the shoulder. They think at the time he probab probably gathers himself and he will go across the street. They go out into the unmarked suv, but it has interior red and blue lights illuminated. The suspect engages them with gunfire almost at the grill of the car. Strike the hood. I dont know if you have seen pictures of it yet. Three or four times, strikes the windshield four or five times. The detectives return fire from inside the van. They dont know if they hit him or not. The suspect ran to the east on the north side of the building. He turned back around as the detectives got out of the car. Shots were fired again. He ran around behind the building to the south. Thats a fenced area back there. So there was really nowhere to go at that point. He engaged the officers at the time. There were four officers in that van. All four fired at the suspect and the suspect fell there. Suspect is in a local hospital. He is in critical, unstable condition in surgery. Reporter so you are hearing the details there. Chief belmar explained there were indeed different shootings that happened. One between two groups and one where officers engaged a suspect they believe to have a gun. We are now hearing from them. Obviously they are talking about the fact they did indeed strike someone. They believe he had a. 9millimeter on him. He had been taken to the hospital in critical and unstable condition. An officer was injured separate of the shooting. Not hit with gun fire, but a brick. A female officer has been injured. We are waiting to hear more details about anyone else who may have been hurt during this really intense time where two shootings happened one right after the other. Christine. One after the other. Chief belmar concerned. The reason they had those undercover plain clothes officers there watching the crowd. They were very concerned about the line of unformed officers who were just sitting targeting. If someone had an illegal gun. That gun recovered from the shooting was stolen. I was struck by something he said in the press conference where he said something has to change. Its been a year. They have been doing all kinds of reforms in the city, but if you have criminal elements, he needs more help from the community to try to stop that. Listen to what he said specifically about small group of people who do not want to preserve the peace. Listen. While this is a tragedy for the family of this man and certainly for the officers involved, it is truly a tragedy, there is a small group of people out there that are intent on making sure we dont have peace that prevails. I dont know how else to say that. But thats just the bottom line on this. Thats unfortunate. Because with the folks that were in the street last night, listen, a lot of emotions. I get it. This is something different. We cant sustain this as a community as we move forward. We have other individuals out there who are part of this group. We need the publics help. We cant do it by ourselves. We have to have the Community Helping us and working with us to identify this and make this stop. He says, sara, basically they are still close to another tragetra tragetra tragedy there. They are still close to that from a year ago. Reporter yes, there is still an uncomfortable unsettling feeling here because people believe the city has not changed enough. There have been changes. There is a new interim police chief. First black ever police chief. First black city manager to manage the city. And there are two new City Council Members who were voted in. Both of them are black. City government is starting to reflect the population, which is 67 africanamerican in this city. There have been changes, but some people are saying the frustration and changes have not gotten down to the grassroots problems here which is racially hinged and people feeling like they were harassed by police. That being said, this has been a fairly peaceful week. There hasnt been anything like. This i have been here for the week when people were commemorating Michael Browns death. People are sad about what happened to a young man who died so early and killed. They also point to the fact that the officer was exonerated by a grand jury who decided not to indict him in the shooting and the department of justice who looked to see if there were civil rights violations. They found none. He was, in essence, cleared of any wrongdoing in this case. There are still people here that do not believe that and still very angry about the decision made by both the grand jury more the grand jury than the doj. There are elements in the crowds that really have no intention of being protesters. They are there to take advantage of the protests. We saw that today. There was looting at a coupleoff businesses. The Business People who are here stayed here throughout all this. Reopened their stores. Unboarded their stores. Fixed windows. Now again being hit. Very frustrating for the residents who love the city. Residents admit something has to change, but enjoy being here and are not leaving. It is a very frustrating thing for those people who live here and have to deal with all this. Frustrating is the right word. Sara sidner, thank you. I know you have a lot of reporting to do. Appreciate you taking the time and walking us through. The streets are quiet right now in ferguson, but a rough night. Thanks. To the other big story. 60 members of the house in israel today discussing the Iran Nuclear Deal with israeli and palestinian officials. Prime minister netanyahu is meeting with the delegation. The president says there is more on the line than just Nuclear Arms Control in the middle east. Cnn Oren Liebermann is live in jerusalem. Reporter good morning, christine. The 22 democrats met with Prime Minister netanyahu yesterday. The iran deal came up. It was discussed. Prime minister netanyahu is the most outspoken critic lobbying against it from the beginning and the framework deal and final deal. He knows he has the republicans for the most part on his side. Now he is trying to see if he can win over any democrats. He won over a big name when senator Chuck Schumer said he would vote against the deal. Now he has a golden opportunity to lobby the 22 democrats, many of whom are considered swing votes on the deal. He met with them yesterday. They are scheduled to leave tonight. Those republicans come in. This has been more of what we have seen playing out this public back and forth between obama and netanyahu here. President obama sat down with fareed and said what is good for america should be good for israel. He talked this is all about or partly about americas ability to shape Foreign Policy into agenda. This would be a good deal for israel just as america trying to win over the democrats and has democrats in his pocket. This is a critical moment with five weeks to go.

Donald trump is not backing down this morning from his controversial insult aimed at fox news moderator megyn kelly. She gets out and starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions. You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever. In my opinion, she was off base. So many of trumps opponents claim that the billionaire was suggesting that kelly was menstruating. Trump said, his words, only a sick person would think that is what he meant. As criticism mounts, some political strategists says this may be what turns the tide against trump. Cnns Sunlen Serfaty has more. Reporter christine, trump not backing down. Refusing to apologize. Saying there is nothing he believes he needs to apologize for. He says his comments were misinterpreted. Here is how he explained on what he was trying to say on state of the union. I said blood was pouring for whatever. I wanted to finish the sentence. I wanted to get off of the whole thing and get back on to subject of jobs or whatever we were talking to. I didnt finish the sentence. I was going to say nose and other ears. Its a statement showing anger. She had great anger when she was questioning me. Reporter this gives an opening for republican candidates. Most notably Carly Fiorina as the only woman in the republican field to come out and speak up against this. She talked about times in her past in the corporate world that she had to put up with the same sort of insinuations herself. She called trumps comment inappropriate and offensive. I think president ial campaigns test pressure over time. It is a moderators job to ask tough questions. All of the moderators asked tough questions of everyone. So, theres no excuse for personally attacking one of the moderators for asking a set of questions he did not like. Reporter trump fired back on sunday afternoon at fiorina taunting her a bit with this tweet. Quote, i just realized if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache. She has zero chance. This comes as theres been broader turmoil in the trump campaign. Another shakeup. The second one in two weeks. Cutting ties with one of his top advisers, roger stone. Stone said he quit. The Campaign Says they fired him. Regardless, stone saying he is leaving in part because of trumps behavior like this. Christine. Sunlen serfaty, thank you for that. Are you ready for football .
