a difference, they have regained control of the news conference, we wantttt to take you back to st. louis, to see with they wish to add -- >> this was a so called reporter blogger saying some stuff i came on and stirred things up that john responded to, so before y'all act like there was a disturbance among t t t the folk, theye concerned about him coming in as a blogger castigating me. we went, mike sr. and i to tell him let him say what he wants to say, i just want y'all, when you run the pictures, disruption at the conference. it was one of y'all bloggers that caused the disruption. and we weren't -- so our people were not overreacting i just want to give clarity what it is. and i have no problem with a guy not wanting to hear what i have to say, but then why would you come to where i am the one speaking. it just really doesn't

make sense. who do you think was going to speak at my press conference? that's just like all the folk that like me on facebook to cuss me out, that really don't make a lot of sense. >> thank you, reverend. the reaction that was caught on videotape, after hearing the devastating news that the killer of her child was not going to be brought to justice was overwhelming to her. she and the ferguson community understands that we have -- all have a responsibility to protect the community michael brown sr. is here speaking on behalf of his family, and you all saw his psa where he continues to ask for calm. that's reason why he is not speaking today, you don't want to be able to use the raw emotion of a family that has been

devastated once by saying their child dead on the ground, and then getting the devastating news of a prosecutor who was supposed to go and represent people like michael brown, but accused michael brown so that's the raw emotion of it. saying nobody is going to condone violence, and we are going to reject it, and as reverend al said, people that do that stuff, it isn't appropriate. michael said it so elegantly asking for peace and calm. so we will move on. >> they have made that -- two quick things on that.

as the attorney has reminded me, when you come to put on your case, you don't put on your worst case, you put on your best case. because anybody thing he put-his best case? why change the rules when it is our children dead on the ground? for all the years that he was the prosecutor and did grand juries he recommended charges he didn't go dump everything out, so he said he did it this way because it was so fair, so is that to say for the other 28 years he was unfair? don't change the rules on us, we want equal justice and due process. awarded a presidential medal of freedom. who their killers were t no indicted by the state, but by the federal

government, are you hoping for the same thing here? and number two, as we cover the protest in front of the ferguson police station, it was packed with riot police, all the advanced weaponry were there, when we went over to west fluorescent, and expected to be stopped be i the mis, it was wide open. we saw no state troopers. and we hardly saw police. do you think you let the authorities let ferguson burn. >> well, let me say to the first part of your question, the second question has been answered. ands and you are probably more aware than most of the media, that are here, it has been the his civil

rights movement that you always had to go to the federal government, and could not depend on states whether it was good mapp, cheney, or whether it was michael brown jr. so we are not in a strange place we hopes we would be in a different place, but it isn't strange. and i think that it is interesting that on the day that goodman cheney were given the medal of freedom, was the day that mccollough decided in the dark hours, to announce the state decision on the michael brown case. and eight years ago today sean bell was killed by misin new york. so all of these things come together i say many of of us, for cornell brooks and all of us, this is not our first

rodeo mccollough. we will deal with this in a way civil rights leaders have. her husband said let's burn this -- >> not appropriate at all. competely inappropriate. and you know, god forbid your child is killed the way they killed and then they get that, just devastating announcement and the minute was announced and a camera was in your face. so don't condemn them for being human, and i think michael brown sr. has stated very clearly for michael brown jr.'s family, that they want people to behave in a responsible peaceful manner, and we aren't going to keep dwelling on this, because we are trying to focus on the issue of getting this system correct sod we

don't have people feeling so frustrated that they have to go march throughout the night for similar justice. let me say this, i think it is a fair question that's one of the reasons that all of us here to say that this is another way other than to exometer and other than to have a outrage like that. many of us are condemned but we are the vehicle to address these things. yet we are considered in sin here, where we are the ones trying to show the druggive way to get justice. because after you burn stuff down, then what? that's not going so get justice. if you burn down buildings you achieve what? rah fire. bub you don't get justice. that's why we are here to show a better way we just need the system to meet us half way. we condemn the violence

from last night, but we also condemn the violent acts that happened that killed michael brown. he had his piece and then he left. we want to read to you the statement they call for peace after the decision was announced in a statement they said that they were profoundly disappointed by what the grand jury decided. the mother taking part in the protests last night, and this is what they heard. >> you heard them describe that raw emotion, they said she was reacting to a mother who had lost her son, and then realized that perhaps her son would not get justice. i want to go back to john

live on the ground now, and john, you said that you had something else you wanted to say which is what happens tonight? and also the question that was raised in the news conference, because it is very provocative, do you think the police let ferguson burn? you have to believe after the events of last night, there with will be some trouble tonight. that said, the area has been locked downty the police, and the police are all over the town. so that is different in how it was in august. having said that, the protestors go el is to cause maximum disruption to close things down, and to be a nuisance in order to get their message across. and so it could be there will be protests which may or may not turn

violent all over the own of ferguson. now to a address the second question, did they let ferguson burn, well, certainly people here think so. yes. they say that the main reason for the prosecutor making the announcement at 8:00 local time, 9:00 o'clock eastern, when it was pitch dark, was simply because the kids were out of school and home, those who didn't want to protest were home and safe. thank giving is coming up, a lot of people have their minds on that, which meant there were die hard protestors really on the streets. two groups, those who are genuinely determined to be peaceful, and make change happen peacefully, and those who feel the opposite, and i spoke to a prominent member of the african-american community here this morning who said look, quite frankly, this was

done deliberately, because they want to point the finger. they being the authorities, want to point the finger at us, the mainly african community here and say look, we told you what to do, we told how how they behaved this is what they have done, and that's why we behaved the way we behaved. that's the justification. >> there is a call for action, and an actionable item, and that is now calling on mys around the nation to have body cameras so that the cameras tell the story of what happened and not the officer and not the accused. is that message permeating to the streets? oh, i think people here think that's a very good idea. the key objective is to bring about change in relationship with the police to have just sis for mike brown, and all

the other young african-american men who have died or been harassed by the police over the years and to be treated as equals when it comes to relations with the polices are they say. so that's the first thing that they are calling for. but beyond that, i mean -- the -- the whole issue of where this goes from here, is -- you know, they are determined to keep going forward. make the point to me again. >> the point was the body cameras they want all police officers across the country to be equipped with body cameras. >> so that images are recorded. >> my joys. my apologies. hook at the difference in the evidence that was given. that we saw reveal in the 5,000 pages last night, the difference between what was officer darren wilson said, of the confrontation with mike

brown, and what his friends said happen is absolutely marked. it couldn't be more different. darren wilson talking about him lunging at the car, and then hitting him in the face, and he feared the third punch would be bethat will, that's why he said he hit him. his friends said he wasn't like that, he was trying to reveal himself to show he didn't have gun, and yet another witness said no it wasn't like that, it was a case of storming the car, aggressively. so there is three people giving opinion on one event, that lasted 30 seconds. if the police had bolldy cameras, we would know with great clarity the answer. so people in ferguson, i think certainly those on the right side of the law, those that wish to change the relationship, would welcome body cameras as something that is very pose save. i think arguably the police would too, because it takes this debate out. >> if anything can be

said about today's news conference, it is that there is a controversial flood now headed your way in washington, is the white house ready for a movement to equip each and every officer across the nation with body cameras? is this any mood in congress for that type of action? i think we have seen a number of calls for that. and many of those calls have been made in conjunction with the fact that police departments across the country have such heavy weaponry, are so militarized with military surplus and other forms of riot control, that many people consider it to be simply too much and a matter of inducing violence rather than reducing it. i think they are saying if they can spend that kind of money, why can't they get body cameras so

ensure the safety and public trust in what lawyer is doing. meanwhile here, you heard the reverend al sharpton try to turn the focus to the department of justice, and put the pressure on out going attorney. sharpton saying before you think this is over, remember, what happened in rodney king. a very direct illusion to the fact that those officers were acquitted, in the case in the state case, the local case, in the beating of rodney king, this was a civil rights case brought against those officers two of whom were sent so jail. many thought the sentences were too late, nonetheless, they were sent to jail. right now we know the department of justice is investg on two investigations.

there's a larger investigation of the ferguson police department as a whole, these kind of things are not uncommon at all. and whether or not the mis -- the local law enforcement, in this case the ferguson police department has some work to do in terms of it's relationships with the african-american community and other minorities. this is something that has happened 20 times in some recent history. with a local law enforcement organization, or police department, wherein they go and reorganized it, they retrain them, and make them revamp their practices and all together make them more sensitive to the needs and spokeses to the needs

of the minority communities. so all eyes will be turning towards washington. yo you heard sharpton and other call for marchs and a summit here in washington next week, and more marchs around the country. a lot to digest has happened over the last 45 minutes. where ewill take a quick break and be right back.

now of the eventsontinues unfolding in ferguson missouri. we have received word that the governor of missouri has issued a statement. john, i understand you have a copy of the governor's statement? just into us here in ferguson. who says there will be more national guard on the streets this evening in order to combat any

violence that may come along. he met this morning to meet with the police and the national guard, and other federal agencies who are here in order to protect lives and property in ferguson and the region. now that speaks to what i was saying earlier about the protestors plan to disrupt a much wider area. he says that what happened last night was deplorable. he is thanking what he is calls the thousands of guardsman, he talks about thousands, we don't know how many are national guards and other kinds of officers. thanks to the thousands of guards man, who kept most of the region free from violence and destruction, so he seems to think, i think, that the policing authorities with the help of the national guard did a good job. now the people here may beg to differ with that, what is it 24 businesses having been bunch to the

grown now. >> live for us in ferguson, one question, one final question of you, and i may be back with more, because this is a very interesting event that is unfolding. but there is a curious phenomenon that happens when this is a riot, as we saw last night, and that is when daylight comes. the rioting p sos is that the case in ferguson right now? yeah, shull. the worst of it was on a street which is known as west fluorescent avenue. and by 4:00 in the morning the protestors had gone away. and that's when the fire crews were able to move in. they had to move away because there was so much gunfire. where i was, up on south nourse sent road, which is where the police headquarters are, the police lost control there as they did on west

fluorescent avenue, but they regained control by about half past 11, and managed to confine the protestors to a small area, and then the protestors were drifting away by midnight. and so when we came along the next morning, this morning, only a few hours ago, it was only this morning, nobody on the streets everything quiet. a lot of litter everywhere, but that's the thing, that people here are saying the top radio shows are full of it today. why did they decide to release this sensitive information at nine o'clock at night eastern time when it is pitch black, because the darkness always makes things appear worse. >> you are in st. louis, you were listening to that news conference along with me, that

inflammatory question coming out, i need your response, do you think that the police let ferguson burn? >> i sure hope not. i would not like to think that that's possible. but you can understand why a number of people would think that's plausible. what you have to understand is the raw nerve that this decision touches. you saw it play out last night, and quite an extraordinary fashion. you saw places physically burn, but you saw the burning continue during this press conference you a was people were in tomorrow of the two attorneys they are still fired up act this. they expressed their outrage differently than the protestors did last night. and that question really speaks to a distrust of the system.

and what the browning family want wants want wane rioting that we saw last night? i think they certainly tried. and not having michael brown's dad speak, at the press conference. i think they are trying to insulate them some, and trying to move on to the next phase, which is less michael brown sen trick, and a lot broader. in the approach, and a lot broadner the scope. owe can expect you will see a lot more emphasis placed on getting people to vote, and having some interest in the elections process, and probably be some sort of push towards

having ordinances that make these incidents more responsive to victims. where misare involved. >> and to that extent, will this movement have legs? i was this during the rodney king days. there was the trayvon martin incident, and now they are saying never again. h they be saying it again six month in the future with somebody else's name. >> i have considered that over the past few months and i think this is a little bit different, because the michael brown movement it pivoted rather quickly from being just about michael brown to being something else. and i think that's because as a flash point so many other things already had occurred. we already had trayvon martin, you had the crawford case, and the toledo wal-mart. all of this -- and so many other names, have

been leading up to this moment of michael brown, so michael brown sort of arrived as a movement. it arrived with all the pieces in place for a movement. and marly with the -- the dissatisfaction with the outcome. i think it is poised to move rat a lot greater fashion, and a lot greater scope, than even perhaps the trayvon martin case. the trayvon martin case isn't necessarily separate. i think one -- they stacked upon each other, and this is one of those cases where it's michael brownnd thats on the shoulders of trayvon martin, and i think they move forward together. >> john, i want to go back to you with that specific question. you are in ferguson, in the ashes of last night, you are there where they are reacting to the death of michael brown, so with that being said, if nothing happens moving forward, was it all for not. >> i am so sorry you have

to repeat that last bit again. >> if there was nothing that happened no positive progress, will the people in ferguson believe that they were not only betrayed by a process that did not indict officer darren wilson, but also by ainge tear spilled out that burned the city parts of the city to the ground and nothing constructive came 80. >> well, the community -- my sense of sit that the community is police into pretty much two. there are probably -- not 50/50. let's put it this way, there are vast majority of people here in ferguson. who -- and you have soon them on the streets campaigning who certain hi are heart broken and feel let down knoll that it is wrong that officer wilson was not indicted. but are determined to get back up again and fight for the change that they

want now. but they were there are some people who are so angry, who have seen this happen so often, and who are -- i think largely the younger end of the male age range. who really feel as if the they have been let down from ought sides in all ways and that physical violence and destruction is the only way to get the message across. >> john, thank you very much. i want to recaptain what has happened. saying that in his opinion, the process is broken. he adds that the process itself should be indicted. we could see what the outcome is going to be, and that's exactly what happened. he went on to say that

the legacy should be instead of striving to make noise, we strive to make a difference. the attorney says that they knew that officer darren wilson indicted himself, thank you for watching.

at least 60 people have died in north eastern nigeria. the market was packed with shoppers libya's government sayses it carries out air vehicles in the airport in tripoli. it was hit again on tuesday. it is controlled by an add menstruation which rivals the government that is based in the eastern city. the lawyers from michael brown's family says they weren't surprised about the grand jury's decision, not to indict darren wilson for shooting the unarmed black teenager. they also rejected the recent violence and called for calm.

civil rights activist also spoke about the press conference. >> i have been involved in civil rights all my life. we have seen cases go ways that we felt were right, and ways that we felt was wrong. i have never seen a pros it cooer a press conference to discredit the victim. where he went out of his way to discredit michael brown jr. now let's talk to lester spence. at john hopkins university, he joins us live in maryland. thank you for talking to us, professor. i was just taken by al sharpton's speech, and thought that it could have been exactly the

same ten, 15 years ago why haven't representations between the african-american community, and the law enforcement officers why haven't they improved? well, i think it is important to hone in what is going on in ferguson specifically. ferguson 21% or their revenue, 21% of the money that ferguson gets comes from taxing and missing their mac citizens. that's incredible by high. that create as circumstantials where they react as racketeers. and a condition like that is very very very difficult to expect kind of positive relationships between citizens and the misand is very easy to

imagine a circumstance in which a kid like michael brown is killed and then it is easy to imagine a scenario in which the prosecuting attorney -- >> yeah, the lawyers and at sharpton, what i'm marly interested in is how representative the situation in ferguson. is that rolled out across the country? because outside in the country looking in, we see a line of young black men being shot by miffs or national guard? yeah, and then no case brought against them, like the kid in ohio was in a wal-mart, with a toy gun and the police shot him. i would suggest that it

is representative of north st. louis county, it is representative of st. louis as a rejob, and representative of to certain degrees throughout the united states. there are maces where this type of thing is far more likely to happen and there are places in which this is less likely to happen. >> but then going back to the first question, as we look at the clearing up operation, after a night of real anger, why haven't relationed improved between the african-american community, and the law enforcement establishment. you have had the civil rights movement, you have an african-american in the white house, why are relations so poor? >> i honed in on ferguson, in order to emphasize, it isn't just a matter of attitudes.

the police serve a very specific structural function. s the structure that we have continually have to massage and improve, and work on. and the thing is that hard. so this is what 2014, so this is 36, 46 years after the assassination of martin luther king, we have made -- a significant amount of progress, be uh that structure is deeply deeply rooted in places like st. louis, specifically and throughout the country thank you very much indeed for talking to us, live from baltimore. >> criticized europe for not doing enough to escape war zones and persecution. he has made these remarks in his first speech. now, this is a problem rooted in discrimination, economic deprivation, and tragic conflict, and one

of the entry points headed for europe is mas. done yeah, but they face enormous hurdles. in a moment we will have a report on the plight of migrants from south asia, and another way into europe is through greece, thousands of migrants from the middle east, every year, use this as a gate way and as they three the violence, syria, and iraq and elsewhere, will be looking at their case, in athens shortly. and the ultimate goal for many of those is western europe that's where the pope is told the e.u. that the mediterranean must not become a grief yard for migrants. and he says europe has to change it's values.

he said his was a message of hope, but he cheerily feels that europe has lost it's way. it needs to do more to support human dignity, and reconnect with people that no longer trust it. this was a critical speech. he spoke of a throw away culture, in which elderly people are abandoned and in which unborn children are kill misdemeanor the womb. he spoke of people becoming cogs in the ma seanry of the global economy, he spoke of the

widespread loneliness felt by many, and he referred to a vacuum of ideas. >> uneffort canble listening for some. >> the two cannot be reconciled. we should have been able to discuss this. >> we cannot allow the mediterranean to become a vast semitri. the boats landing daily on the shores are filled with men and women who need acceptance and assistance the pope said the poor and the persecuted is well known. his call for more and better jobs a greater

focus on human needs above the needs of multinationals will have appeal to many but as a way out, his call to e.u. to reverse what he called it's forgetfulness of god will be more difficult for some to accept al jazeera. more thank 100 any fact syrians are on a hunger strike inside the parliament building. hungs of syrians have pitched the catch to protest about the uncertainty of the status here. a deportation waiver of up to six months. the children may not enroll in schools and

they are given more documents for which to travel elsewhere. >> from killing from the bank, from aircraft, and our houses it is destroyed. we skip to another country, to get -- a human rights. but we didn't find it here in free es, so that we want to go out of greece, to get it. >> to have themselves smuggled into europe, these people are charity cases in limbo. it does allow authorities to offer them human -- more than 30,000 arrivals expected this year alone, that is a seldom used option this month alone seven people have been killed in hail way accidents as they try to get from mas. done yeah. now the number of people

using this rout has increased since summer. the intended destination is germany. this report. walking along the rail tracks it has been a long hard journey from bangladesh. works in greece for ten years, until he lost his job of p he decided to go to germany along the way, he lost his savings. 42 people -- he hasn't seen his family in a long time. life in bangladesh, he says, is very hard. where poverty and flooding are common place. >> the railway workers it

is an all too familiar site. we often meet groups with moll children, it is so sad to see that, when they see us in these uniforms they run, they think we are the police. when night falls another two are spotted along this line, an entire family has been hiding in the bushes. >> the safety -- and other al quaida -- they have no time to waste. and so they continue their journey. they manage to get some vegetables ahonk the way, who said they were killed in a suicide attack.

this is how most of the migrants were killed but the young afghans continue on wards on foot. every day she tries to help. >> i sympathize with the problems. they have already struggling. >> in the this night they welcome dozens into their home. the two columbian soldiers that were featured have been released. but the high ranking general and two other officials are still being held captive by the rebel group.

the long running peace talks after their capture. al commandser in the columbian capitol, he joins us live now, and says the release of this group this is all gone well then for the general. >> we don't know yet at this point. everybody is concentrating their efforts for the release, and the ore two people that were captured with him. they just re'sed a statement where their peace negotiators are, and they are saying they are hoping this release can happen by the end of this week. but for that to happen, they need all military operations to stop in the area and the farc for the

release of the general. also in the area, where the general will be released is much more complicated than the one where the two soldiers were released earlier on tuesday. that's because it is a jungle area. there are no roads and the others can only land in small villages along the river. and the farc are asking for the soldiers to move out, be uh that's something that will probably start seeing happening between today and wednesday. >> thank you. al jazeera is continuing to demand the release of our three journalists who have now been held in prison for 332 days. peter greste, maholmmy

were jailed on helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood, they are appealed against their convictions. coming up, find out what is in store for south america's football team next year

study has found that the number of people being diagnosed with the condition is rising. this' an international

conference in london right now to work out how countries can deal with it. they just lost hope really. >> . >> it's great because i can go up to them and tell them you are not alone, everyone has it, and no one treats like you don't understand, just a few years ago i was in the same position as you, i couldability leave the house, i was barely an education, a timed shell of who i am now. >> just one of

350 million of the known suffering of depression, some make it to a place like this a psychiatry center to get help, but the reality is for many there simply aren't the resources to deal with the problem meaning that depression is the leading cause of disability around the world. >> a psychiatrist whose has been treating patients with the condition for years and he says we are only starting to get to grips with the extent of the world's mental health problems. >> suffering in silence, a long term depression suffering to leave her

job in big business. 15 hour days led to a break down. >> i think i was afraid of talking about it. because of a fear that i wouldn't be supported. at work, we need to address mental health for everybody who is potentially a suffer. we need to educate teachers and schools about mental health so they can support children growing up, and we need to support adults. >> jessica now has a new job, and shared her experiences with depression on her nothing, where other victims from around the world tell her that stigma is still the biggest barrier to getting help. >> right, time for sports news. >> well, australian cricket is in an induced coma after being hit on the head by a ball during a match in sidney, the 25-year-old underwent emergency brain surgery

andrew thomas has been following this story for us in sidney. >> initially, it didn't look too serious, a misjudged ball striking is not unusual in cricket, but the batsman then collapsed unconscious is phillip hued had scored 52 games when the rogue ball hit they joined medics to free his airway, get him on to a stretcher and off the field thoughen a air ambulance arrived he was taken by road to a nearby hospital, and operated on almost immediately i understand he was ventilated at the scene, he underwent scans and than he went to surgery. >> the match he was playing in was abandoned the correct community beyond is stunned. >> we were all in shock.

and -- i guess from that perspective, sneezingsly, this was medical attention that he was able to receive immediately and then to the hospital, and now we hope that what the procedure is that he is going through, is comes through in the right way. >> all our thoughts and prayers are with phillip, obviously as you said, played against him, so it is really saddens incident, and i think -- throughout his whole career. and he can pull through. >> 25-year-old hues is a well known figure, just last month he played ever the his national team the balls are hard, and the balls at well over 100-kilometers an hour,

accidents like this are exceptionally rare, but even with wearing full gear, they can and occasionally do happen earl yes we spoke to our correspondent, that say as serious injury like this is very rare in correct. >> now an incident that wasn't as serious, with the english cricketer, and what happened then is the ball managed to get through a gap and the ball managed to lodge in there and break his nose, and the damage was largely superficial, but it shows what can happen. it makes you think that 40 years ago, people were facing -- without any helmets at all.

it's finished 1-all, and that is actually a good result for manchester city. also in that group, they are in the decent chance of qualifying from that group doesn't think city manager has to worry about it key people at the club, the likes these are men that brought them to the chub, but i think they were given at least until the end of the season, to see how they are in the league. if they didn't win a trophy, maybe the position would be reviewed after what would be another failure for manchester. i think what has cost them at the moment, is

his purchase they haven't shown us really hasn't impressed them. and inch fernando haven't really impressed too many of their performances in the time they have been at the club. i don't think the position would come under intense scrutiny if they went out there tonight, but i think the pressure would mount on him if no trophies were brought to the chub throughout the season. that's in australia, and they will be making their first ever appearance. now they say the headquarters were raided and serged on monday morning. israeli officials say they are checking up on those claims.

a tough message to the israeli authorities to stop the attacks on various footballing system. to draw together, in the group stage. post -- are in group a with mexico, ecuador, and beehive yeah, 12 countries make up the group stage, with eight qualifying, for the course of finals the home nation have never before been champions. maybe they can change that in front of their home support i will be back later on. >> thank you very much indeed. stay with us here, because there's another full news butt lynn coming up straight ahead. thank you for being with us.

fury in the u.s. over the decision not to charge a white policeman over the death of a black unarmed teenager. >> we may have lost one round but the fight is not over. >> the supporters condemn what they call a broken justice system. demanding an end to the violence. >> . >> this is al jazeera hive from london. also coming up. in nigeria, two bombs kill at least 60 people in a marketplace. more than 87 people are killed in an air strike in the syrian city,
