We do know 47 people were arrested, some of them for threatening. That was what was said last night. In terms of the description of why this happened, but certainly no shots fired. Thats huge. Captain ron johnson notes a change in dynamic saying this may be a turning point, but this turning point did not come easily. Police did have to respond forcefully several times. Most notably after a small group of whats being called agitators lost control. You need to get back. Youre risking peoples lives. Like so many nights before, tuesday in ferguson quickly overcome by chaos. Disperse immediately. The agitators, the criminals embedded themselves and hid behind media and began throwing bottles. They threw urine on officers, and thats what caused officers to take action and begin to make arrests. Reporter today began with high hopes that this night would be different. Protect and cover every peace officer that you would protect and cover every protestr. Reporter clergy and Community Leaders praying, working towards keeping the peace. We see smaller crowds and a Smaller Police presence. Peace, a possibility. Its almost 8 00 local time, and its not that night of quiet that the local officials asked for. People are here. Heres the scene. Its peace full and quiet from the light down here at ferguson avenue all the way down to the other side. At the end of this block, thats where protesters are allowed to be. As you can see the streets are lined. People are marching, more protests planned, but just listen to this. Thats the sound of peace and quiet in ferguson. Hopefully it lasts. Just east of the main strip a striking scene at site of the shooting, the first night of peace here in nearly two weeks. No other media around. Its now about 9 00 p. M. Local time. We left the main street where there is protesting going on to come here, site thats driving all the emotion. This is where Michael Brown was shot and killed by a Police Officer. It has also been the site of a lot of scream and demonstrations and violence, but tonight it is quiet, just slow drive byes and solemn moments for people in this community. As the night wears on. I want to hear one Police Officer officer say that Something Like that, killing someone execution style is wrong. Reporter voices rise. What do we want . Justice. When do we want it . Now. Reporter but tension remains low. Were all mike brown. We all mike brown. Reporter its now 10 00 p. M. Local time. The marchers are still marching chanting we are mike brown. Chanting no justice, no peace, but as you can see a very different mood from last night. The night is not over yet, but 10 00 and all is if not quiet peaceful. Over the next couple of hours, small altercations. Show me state. Reporter but still overall calm. Peace marchers even creating a human chain, black and white, hand in hand. Hands up. Hands up reporter attempting to block out agitators, but soon after the clock strikes midnight, one water bottle shatters the peace. Cnns Stephanie Elam on the scene. It got very tense when people stopped walking in a circle, and they were standing in the parking lot, and police lined up on one side. A water bottle was thrown, and that let go of all of the tension that we have felt out here. People started running, started running this way, and at that point we started seeing military people, like the military advance almost, coming down the street this way. Reporter tactical teams swiftly rush in. Arresting a handful of people. Police with canines at the ready and others armed with pepper spray. Open up. Reporter scenes of confrontation as police push demonstrators out. We dont have rights over there. We dont have rights over there. Reporter and yet given whats been going on here since august 9th when Michael Brown was shot, you have to see it as at least it was somewhat petter, but obviously life here not what they want it to be by any stretch. Lets bring in chris king. He knows the community very well. The managing editor of the st. Louis american, local paper and also community organizer. You know whats going on here. How did you feel about the change in mood, the change in tactics, in quotes, and the results of last night . You still have the militarized Police Presence, and you still have questionable approach to policing of the situation, but what happened last night was reflective of what happened the night before which is a whole bunch of people got arrested who were from elsewhere and not here for any good so community had more of a chance to be itself and express itself. You believe last night was somewhat of a vindication of this outside agitator theory because a lot of people dont buy it. They think its a cover story for local people acting out and doing bad things. Well, the numbers of people that were arrested from other places was significant. I mean, there are people here, like in any city anywhere that will disagree and cause trouble if they congregate large numbers, but i certainly believe last night was more peaceful because more people were arrested from outside of the community the night before. When youre looking for significance, what does it mean . Obviously the standard were looking for is not every night nobody gets shot. Did i make too much of what happened down in canfield . To me not having any Media Presence there, not having any violence going on, no Police Presence at site of the shooting to me seemed very different. You know, in a way i think that the military presence of the police, we end up covering this like were scoring a game, how much violence there was. Were losing sight of the mission of the whole thing which was to bring justice to an unexplained death when theres been no charges brought at this time and covering a bottle breaking in the parking lot and people running in the parking lot, that happens in every city in the country. Thats really not news. The population here, elected officials here. Hadnt seen that that much, moving people around and calling people constituents, the clergy very activators, the peacekeepers. And they have been here, Community Group and community movement. A lot of citizen policing going on behind the lines and also on the front. The peacekeepers were very key to cooling that down. I think not letting the Police Change the tone of events. The other shooting that happened yesterday, easy to dismiss it. The man was supposedly deranged. He had a knife and charged officers with a knife. This is what happened. 250 people there very quickly and they were very upset and the called night of quiet, you have to remember the local government asked for a night of quiet, nobody on streets. That went away with that shooting, fair point . It did. Its a death. Its a police shooting, but the Quick Mobilization of the community to support it showed that we are organized as a community, and we care about each other and were trying to figure out whats going on as fast as we can. Youre seeing positive change, a dynamic in place you havent seen before. What is it . Well, its the movement that was created, and it was strengthened by antagonism we received from the police force. It made us stronger, and you said you were making phone calls what. Are you hearing now in the community that youre not used to . Yesterday everyone would call each other. Well, im in a meeting, need to talk to you about something and im already meeting about that, thinking about the same thing, making the peace, making deals, trying to get people to sit down and ultimately get the kids back in school. Some people are ready to move forward and some people are ready to stand up and holler. The attorney general is coming today, and there will be some meetings behind closed doors. Do you see that as big, unusual for the a. G. Himself eric holder to go on scene and kind of in part and conduct an investigation himself. I was told to keep the front page open for the attorney general, i dont care how late it is. Well keep the front page open so my boss thinks its huge. But in terms of how the community is reacting to that, that there is a federal independent investigation, a third autopsy thats been done. Theres a grand jury thats supposed going to be presented with evidence here on local evidence, by the local prosecutor. Is that at all acceptable . The way the prosecutor handles the grand jury is very telling. Were told hes going to introduce the shooter as a witness and give a bunch of testimony at the grand jury, questionable move. I dont know who will actually be leading the investigation. A lot of effort to change that. The governor released dueling press statements that made it sound like politics is in play. I think Something Different might happen than what were told will happen. Hopefully we continue to see progress here. I know youll let us know whats going on in the community. Chris king, thanks for being with us. Something to prepare for here, the investigation is important and moves forward, but not only is this about whether or not the officer gets charged, but if the officer doesnt get charged, if his story is believed, what does that mean for the other man who was there that night with mike brown because if the Police Officer story is true he may have been part of an assault what. Would the community make of that, no charges for the officer and maybe charges for another black youth. That would be something also. Well have to follow that part of it. Now the investigation can turn to that investigation though since there is some semblance of peace in those developments overnight. Chris, thanks so much. Right back to chris in just a second. Lets turn now to new developments in the battle against isis militants. Horrible new video has been released by isis. It appears to show the beheading of a kidnapped american james foley. These are still images that were only showing of his final moments. Were not going to show you the video or anything even close to what the full video shows. The extremists say the vicious killing is payback for u. S. Air strikes against them in iraq, and now they are threatening to kill another captive american if the air strikes do not stop. Lets get straight over to pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr following all of the latest developments for us. Barbara, its horrible to watch, and thats an understatement, but what are you hearing from your sources about this and the impact of this video . Reporter well, kate, good morning. Just a short time ago now, the British Foreign secretary weighing in on all of this, expressing a good deal of concern because on that tape the executioner, the murderer of james foley, appears to have a british accent. Intelligence services on both sides of the atlantic now working to try and identify his murderer, the friends and family of james foley remembering his life and his career as a journalist. The isis video is simply too horrific to show. The man being executed by beheading is james foley, a freelance journalist kidnapped in northwest syria on november 22nd, 2012, thanksgiving day. Isis, the brutal militants, rampaging through syria and iraq, say they killed foley in retaliation for u. S. Military operations in iraq. Foley, a freelance photojournalist from new hampshire, reads a message denouncing the u. S. Presumably written by his captors. He says america is his real killer and then foley is murder. The Obama Administration said they are working to authenticate the video, adding if genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent american journalist, and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. And the family of jim foley released a statement late tuesday night that reads in part we implore the kidnappers to spare the lives of the remaining hostages. Like jim, they are innocent. They have no control over American Government policy in iraq, syria or anywhere in the world. Another american journalist is shown at end of the video, the executioner speaking with an apparent British Action threatens to take his life if president obama doesnt stop air strikes in iraq. Sotloff kidnapped on the syrianTurkish Border has worked as a contributor to time magazine. No one knows how many thousands of syrians and iraqis have died at hands of isis militants. Across their stronghold in northern iraq, coldblooded mass killings of iraqi men, women and children. We do have information that they continue. These kinds of deprivations and crimes against humanity, no question about that. Reporter after dozens of air strikes against isis positions across northern iraq, the group may feel pressure, but there is no sign its abandoning its violence and horror. Isis has some 10,000 fighters. Its now a group the u. S. Intelligence Community Calls a credible alternative to al qaeda with aspirations to attack the United States. According to the united nations, there are now more than 1 million iraqis alone displaced by isis on the run from that militant group. Kate . Amazing, and that happened so fast as well when you speak about that all relatively. Barbara starr at the pentagon for us. Barbara, thank you so much. A lot going on. A lot going on here at home but a lot going on as we talk about barbara in that region and all around there. All around the world. Unfortunately, that ceasefire that weve been watching, the tentative one in israel and gaza seems to have broken. Overnight violence erupting once again in gaza, all but shattering hopes for a lasting ceasefire agreement. Israeli air strikes have reportedly killed now 14 people, wounding more than 100 others after hamas launched more than 70 rockets at israel. The two sides have been launching attacks since a ceasefire broke down tuesday. The talks for peace in cairo fell apart shortly after when israeli negotiators were ordered to return home. Back here at home, a hostage standoff this morning in a chicago suburb. A pair of gunmen have taken two adults and six children hostage in a harvey, illinois, home. Tuesday afternoon four of the children, including a 1yearold, have been released. Police are now negotiating for the release of the remaining hostages. Those suspects barricaded themselves in the house after shooting and wounding two officers who responded to a burglary call. Well bring you the very latest on this ongoing situation as it develops. A defiant Texas Governor rick perry calling abuse of power charges politically motivating and vowing to fight them in court. Perry was fingerprinted, even had his mug shot taken when he was booked on two felony charges. Prosecutors allege perry abused his power by vetoing funds for a state Public Integrity unit when the d. A. Running it refused to resign following a drunk driving conviction. Doctors in sacramento have isolated a patient who may have been exposed to the ebola verse. Samples of the patients blood have been sent to the centers for Disease Control for testing now. Its unclear how that patient may have been exposed. In the meantime, a new mexico woman who traveled to sierra leone, she is also in quarantine awaiting results of testing to see if she hats virus. In liberia the ministry of health says three Health Care Workers who received the drug zmapp are showing signs of recovery which is very promising news. Showing signs of promise, for sure, but not helping nearly everyone affected. Coming up next on new day, attorney general eric holder is heading to ferguson today. Well look at federal investigation and the legal road ahead in the Michael Brown case. Well also going to take you back to ferguson. Were going to go live. Chris had an opportunity to speak to local religious leaders about their role, a very important role, in trying to stop the unrest and the violence there on the ground in ferguson.

Calm in ferguson this morning after mostly peaceful protests took a hostile turn overnight and today u. S. Attorney general eric holder will be holding to ferguson pledging a full and fair investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown. His visit comes amid calls for the st. Louis county prosecutor Robert Mcculloch to step down because there are concerns that he isnt able to be or he wont be impartial in his duties. Lets dig deeper into all the facets, especially of the visit of eric holder with paul cowan a cnn legal anitivity as well as mo ivory, a tv and radio personality. Good morning. A lot going on, good and bad, i guess we can say, but when it comes to the investigation we can focus on that. I want to ask first, paul, what do you make of eric holders visit today . What does eric holder arriving on scene, what does it do . What happens when eric holder arrives . Whats the impact . Well, i think it has symbolic importance to the community in that the Justice Department is really making an appearance flew its most important person, the attorney general, and secondly when i look at whats going on this is a real active Justice Department investigation. You know, usually the feds sit back. More so than you would see in the past maybe . Usually they will make a press conferencetype statement, were monitoring the situation, but they have 40 fbi agents from the Civil Rights Division on the ground doing what eric holder has described as hundreds of interviews. They have done an independent autopsy in the case, so they are
