you have with police. a traj any on mt ontake, an erupting volcano and at least 30 dead. good morning to you. welcome to al jazeera america, thank you for joining us, i'm morgan radford live in new york city. police in ferguson this morning are on a manhunt. they are searching for two men involved in the shooting of a police officer on saturday night the the officer was hit in the arm. his injuries were not life threatening. officials say it was not related to the ongoing protest of michael brown's death. tensions between the police and the community are high. shimano joins us live. what do we know this morning? >> good morning, the officer was on a routine patrol when he spotted two men. they began to run. the st louis country police chief recounted the defense. >> the police officer was riding

by when two individuals ran from him. as he came into close proximity, one turned to him with a firearm. the officer blocked it with the arm and was shot in the arm which a suspect. >> reporter: both suspects fled into the wood. the officer fired back, officials don't believe he hit a suspect. the injured officer was taken to a st louis hospital and is expected to recover. in a separate incident an off duty officer was shot at whilst driving his car. he suffered injuries from broken glass, investigations are under way. the first attack was not related to the death of michael brown. the second still under investigation. now, brown's death last month sparked weeks of violent protests, leaders and the police force are trying to rebuild the trust of the community. coming up at the top of the hour, we here from michael brown's parent on why they are

unmoved by ut police chief's -- by the police chief's apology and what they'd rather see instead. >> let's go to diane eastabrook. she has been covering ferguson since the riots began. she joins us from chicago. i know you have returned from ferguson, emotions are raw. is it too early to talk of peace and reconciliation at this point. >> i think it is. we are continuing to see protests and confrontations with people and the police on the street when we were there last week. one of the makeshift memorials caught fire. there was a lot of agitation among the people on the street. they were not sure how it started. they said police were slow to respond. a frustration is it has taken the police chief so long to apologise for what happened with michael brown, and the way the investigation was handled and the fact that his body was left

on the street for four hours. as ross mentioned a couple of seconds ago. michael brown's parents said yesterday they were unmoved by what the police chief said. they want to see an indictment handed down on darren wilson. >> it's interesting you mentioned darren wilson, because the police chief came under fire. he's been warning the officers on what not to wear. he sent a letter to the police chief telling him to stop officers wearing the bracelets saying "supporting darren wilson", saying "i am darren wilson", saying it reinforces an us versus them mentality. did you see them wearing those bracelets whilst you were down there? >> we were in the municipal court. i saw a couple much officers wearing themmers not everyone. again, as you mentioned there is an impression that there is an us versus them mentality. that is something we hear from people we talk to on the streets

of ferguson. and the town hall meetings taking place, are officials taking practical steps to calm the fears and tensions from the communities? >> they are trying to. they are taking what i would characterise as baby steps. the meeting that you referred to was the fires of half a dozen. they had one meeting last week and it was to clear up misconceptions that people had about ferguson and the leaders. there were about 200 people that attended the meeting. they would not let the media in. as people emerged they felt better about the relationship with the leadership in the city. they were able to take questions, ask questions and get answers, and said it was a civil meeting. i think it's the first step in many that the community is going to have to take. >> we'll try to clear up more of those details and misconceptions about the effort to rebuild when

we talk to you in the next hour. >> for now, diane eastabrook in chicago. thank you for being with us. >> there has been an explosion, one day before the president's inauguration. a magnetic bomb went off near the presidential palace near the capital kaboom. the device was attached to a military vehicle, one person was injured. security was tight ahead of the inauguration of ashraf ghani, where several international diplomats are expected to attend. an al qaeda splinter group is claiming responsibility for a rocket attack on a u.s. embassy. several guards were injured. it was in retaliation for a drone strike the day before. u.s. air strikes are targetting i.s.i.l. fighters in northern syria. central command says a building and two damages were destroyed near the turkish border down.

more than 150,000 people fled the area and into turkey in the past week alone. stefanie dekker joins us live from the border. can you tell us about the latest wave of attacks? >> just updating you, we are hearing military activity to the east. this is the syrian kurdish town behind me. you can see how close it is. i don't think the microphone is picking it up. we know, to show you the photography, that the town is besieged on three sides to the west, south, east and the east is where we are hearing the activity. we know that i.s.i.l. is 10-12km to the east, and around 2km, showing you the kurdish fighters - they are trying to protect the area.

the civilians are fleeing into turkey, 150,000 because of the ongoing fight. >> you mentioned the civilians, yesterday on the show we had live pictures of the refugees fleeing right there on the border. there were powerful images, how are the entire groups of families coping so far. >> it's difficult for them. they don't want to be here. some are set up on a fill. they can see their homes, and it's like a cruel twust of fate. there's a huge number of people here. they'll tell you because there's many here, turkey host a million refugees before the influx came here. it's difficult to deal with. lack of electricity, water, and

they have had to leave everything bond. livestock. it's a desperate situation. they want to go home. they can't do that. you mentioned the air strikes. one man wept back, because the coalition had done an air strikes. he went back, but came back, he said how can be fight against their weapons. our people are desperate, if we come here, we are kurd, they'll slaughter us. i.s.i.l. has been effective in the psychological fare of how brutal they've been as to why we have seen a massive i am not of people fleeing, because of how petrified if they manage to get

in. they are not here yet, but is an ongoing campaign. stephy, thank you for joining us. this is chaos again on the streets of hong kong. huge protests. demonstrators calling for democracy. our own scott heidler joins us from hong kong. good morning to you. >> what is going on now. is there a chance that the huge crowds might dissipate? >> well, what happens now is escalated. we are seeing the... ..from pepper spray. down this street behind... we heard the pump of those. this street... ..this is one of three major

streets, roadblocks by the... >> that was scott heidler, we are having a bit of a loose connection there. the tension has been escalating. we'll come back later on in the hour. rescuers found 30 bod nis near the peak of central japan. more than 200 strn trapped. mt ontake erupted. catching everyone by surprise. there's a weather threat happening at home. all across the teen south. we are looking at the video out of tam pea.

more rain - that's flood warps, rain and moisture, here is the front. stalling across the atlantic and sitting over the golf coast. a lot of mast user in the air. the focus for heavily rain and flash fluting. all the ray from louts are christopher gibson. and down the golf coast the the rain will fall. we'll see more flash flooding and warnings around tampa. a u.s. health care worker treated for ebola, survivors in africa are struggling to convince people that they are healed. the man that invented the internet 25 years ago, calling into action, trying to keep the worldwide web free and clear.

and where you can catch the most vibe rapt colours. oscar winner's ' healed.

oscar winner's oscar winner's you're looking at live pictures from hong kong where crowds of pro-democracy protesters are clashing with riot police. good morning, welcome back to "al jazeera america". i'm morgan radford, thank you for joining us. another american health care worker exposed to ebola in west africa set to under grow treatment in the united states. the patient is a during who was volunteering in sierra leone, admitted to a clinic in maryland. there's no indication that a

worker contracted the virus. entire families have been devastate. and survivors are struggling to move on. they shows us the route. their friend could hardly help him. >> i don't know if i have ebola. i work for myself. from the resident. >> reporter: eriksson fought off the virus and recovered. when he came to be discharged he asked what happened to the family. whom he knew had been brought to

the hospital. >> one by one. so he told me that all of the family passed away. i will discourage. the virus killed 40 members of the eriksson's family. his father promised him he'd go to college. now he's dead. household effect, documents and funny were burnt, considered contaminated by the virus. >> this person survived ebola, and counts herself lucky to be alive. >> i've been living with my family, one parent is gone. all the same i thank god, because most people lost many of their family. i only lost my dad. >> eriksson stays at the house of a friend, also an ebola survivor from the same village. he says people are afraid of him even though he has a

sirrivate -- certificate confirming they are not contagious. >> when they are discharged there's a stigma and denials about the ebola outbreak. >> reporter: eriksson has the family motorbiking christopher gibson and would like to get work -- motorbike and would like to get work as a driver. no one will higher him. soon he'll have to park it as he doesn't have money for petrol. >> figures from the death toll of the outbreak passed 3,000, 7,000 are believed to be ib effected. the president of the west bank happens to be an infectious disease specialist. he sat with ali velshi with "talk to al jazeera" to discuss the impact of ebola happening behind west africa. >> ebola now is a major risk and a major shock for three countries. this could spread. moreover, pandemic diseases - we are not as prepared as we need to be to prevent the shocks.

we released a study looking at the impact of ebola. what we found was almost independent of the number of case, it's the aversion behaviour. the closing of the ports. people not showing up for work. it's that behaviour that had the biggest economic impact before s.a.r.s., h1 n 1. it was not the lives lost, which was a tragedy, it was the behaviour that accompanied it, leading to the economic shock. >> you can see ali's interview with jim yong kim on "talk to al jazeera" this afternoon at 3:00p.m. eastern, when he sit down with carolyn miles, the c.e.o. of sao paulo. five babies in texas tested positive to tuberculosis, they could be false positives since they do not have an active form of disease. 700 newborns were exposed to tb by an infected worker at the hospital.

it can affect the lucks and if untreated -- lungs, and if untreated can lead to death. nine children in denver have symptoms and limb weakness or paralysis, it's a rare illness spreading across the united states. there's 277 confirmed cases across 38 states. it appears to have a stronger effect on children with asthma. >> 25 years ago the worldwide web went live, allowing information to flow across the globe. the creator is worried that government and big companies are trying to control the access. as phil lavelle reports, he started a campaign to protect freedom of expression online. >> from this to this. this was high tech once, and now this. just look how communications have transformed. partly due to this man, sir tim bernizely. he invented the worldwide web.

25 years now since the first web page went live, there's a cake to mark it. this was that first ever web page, it was consisting of a load of text telling people what it was. now it's author is back in london to code again. if only every web developer got this kind of applause. this is a photo onto launch a new section, a festival and the message behind it is clear. to those that want to sensor the web, keep your hands off. >> and this is where it's taking place. this is hardly silicon valley, that's the south bank center in london. over there, behind the bridge is the city. that's the financial district where bangers make huge decisions -- bangers make huge decisions, over there parliament makes huge decisions. the when is kept in the center. neither the political seats of power, nor the financial seats

of power have any influence over what you sow. the web is very much kept as an independent neutral resource. >> when you have countries like china, north korea, places that don't want to subscribe to that, how do you get the vision across. >> how do you get it across. what i hope will happen is bit by bit open communities, where the culture - the culture where there's free explosion, free and working in a democratic way tend to be licence and more efficient, and so countries end up moving bit by bit in that direction. >> this is an 8 month long festival. the idea is that it's crowd sourced. people talk about what they love or hate. a snapshot of what they keep or change.

it may not have an impact of the the organizers say they have to try. >> barentsly is calling for a bill of rights ensuring users privacy. the business the beauty. they'll tell why men in one country may be the next cosmetic boom. they have moves like a prowrestler. >> and you are looking at live pictures again where prodemocracy protesters have been in a standoff with police, happening in hong kong where police use tear gas and pepper spray against demonstrators. it's known as open central. there's a live report from the screen at the top of the hour. stay tuned.

all right. look at this. one excited football fan getting the tackle of lifetime, he tried to rush the field during cincinnati-ohio but he was body slammed on to the ground by the sprint coach. welcome back to al jazeera america, i'm morgan radford, thank you for joining us, let's get a look at the forecast.

one of the easier things to forecast. changing of the colours, look at the colours coming in. the area far north, scenes like this. this area of colour change spreading south over the next few weeks. here is where they are. the peak colours in miles per hour, and up around main and new england starting to see colour changes through the midleft and down the app illations. a nice day to head outside and take in the colours. the skies are clear, a few clouds around tennessee and kentucky, but clear across the north-east. clear across the northern plains, rain along the coast. temperatures warming up, climbing above 80 degrees except for the front. cooler to the north. a nice fall day. and the male cosmetics industry is booming in south korea. it's a billion dollar business redefining mass cool jointy,

harry fawcett has more. >> that man is serious about his appearance. hardly surprising for the male beauty editor of a men's magazine. rm he is not alone. south korea is the biggest market for male cosmetics. this is more than professional diligence, it's a way of life. >> translation: i have extra products placed wherever i go - in the office, in the car - so there isn't an occasion where i don't use them. >> basic skin care is important. you need to apply moisturizer. he's one of a growing number of men. it's a mix of laser therapy. >> 30 to 40% of my customers are men. it's been going up over the last two years. previously they'd get facial

massages or laser, and now they are getting anti-ageing treatments. seen military are the biggest consumers products. at the heart of this is a paradox. seen men have a reputation for being rough and stuff. >> they have taken to cos met ecks. one is that men are trying harder for the attentions of women, less likely to marry. the importance of the appearance in society. previously it was taboo, but now it's a virture. it's seen as a demonstration of good sense, and a social and economic symbol. as a confidence it's grating desire in the society.

>> if you look at it you find the old fashion way. this man has been cutting hair for 45 years. saving tastes means the barber shop business is in decline. maybe some day we can bring back the mosul; jointy as before. in five or 10 years people may come back to the barber shop. now he has to concentrate on the middle-aged and up. >> at the end of the first hour, here is what we are following - hiding in plain site. how some i.s.i.l. fighters are living in iraqi cities without their neighbours realising. plus, inspiring kids to ride the surf. the programme saving lives in south africa. and live pictures from hong kong where pro-democracy protesters

are clashing. a live report after the break. keep it here. i'm morgan radford back for the next hour of al jazeera. stay tuned.

gun fire in ferguson, missouri, a police officer injured. now the search for suspects on a city already on edge. stranded in smoke and ash. a rising death toll after hundreds were trapped. >> i've been asked to keep my voice down as we are close to

the i.s.i.l. position. >> al jazeera on the front line in the fight against i.s.i.l. why locals say the man who stashed them will never be brought to justice. >> torrential rains turning roads into rivers. not one but two regions of the country slammed with saturating storms. >> welcome back to "al jazeera america". we begin with breaking news. there's chaos again on the streets of hong kong. huge crowds of pro-democracy protesters gathered outside the building, and things have gotten out of control. police used pepper spray. scott heidler joins us from on the phone from hong kong. scott, what is going on. have the crowds intensified. >> they have intensified over

the hours on sunday. it's just after 8 o'clock. what we saw over the last four hours of the position that we are at, protesters are centered in an area around the government complex. the main avenue to come in. it took about two hours, an hour and a half ago. up the street tear gas was fired. there has been a lot of pepper spray, but this is the first time gas was used. cleaning out this avenue of pro tests. one of the main student protest movements. they are calling by midnight. they are apping the for the top leadership, and for the election

process to be reviewed. if the demands are not met by midnight, they are calling for a strike. because they have workers unions behind them. they are threatening that there'll be a general strike. >> i have to interrupt and show the viewers, it looked like there was a cannister thrown into the heart of the crowd. and we are seeing people run away from it. decision to the pepper spray, there was tear gas, as we watched this unfold. students are mentioning beijing's grip. are there fears that could be a tina men square. >> when you compare the two, you have the student movement that grew and grew in beijing. there has been parallels. it has not got to the point

where there has been long-term occupation of specific areas within hong kong. there's a spot protest over the past week, but now what we'll see in the coming week is the occupied central movement said they'll me involved. that will grow the numbers, and what most people realise is the government, the protesters - they are a come of hours away in the work week the the business district is critical. the spoke market is here, international banking is here, so that is a major concern for the people that run the country, that's why we are seeing a tart. monday morning when people go to work. we can get to work. most of the roos, getting into

the business - they are imbassable because students are on the ground, on the street. >> you mentioned this is a few hours from the work week, and this is presenting a challenge. have we heard a reaction from officials in beijing. >> we haven't heard from beijing, but we have heard from the executive director of hong kong. it's a chinese territory. he is the top of the government here. he made a statement earlier, saying that they'll continue their consultations on the election process. this is the route of the protest movement here. they say that they don't have properly one person, one vote. the candidates on the ballot will be vetted, selected if you will. by beijing. that is the reason they are here protesting. >> when the executive director made the statement.

he'd maybele ask youses. he is stiging to the gun, and the process mapped out will sustain. the consultations broke into faces. he's saying that it moves to the next face. police will do their job in certain parts of the city. he has stuck his project, in that his elections will go on as state in the last couple of weeks. >> thank you for being with us had morning. >> ferguson on age after a police officer is vot. chorties are certaining for two men, and was not the only one shot at. a second as shot at in another incident.

shim p ross joins us now. >> tensions are high. dozens of law enforcement officers are searching for the suspect. >> reporter: a ferguson police officer was shot in the arm during an altercation on a routine patrolment the officer fired several shots in return, but there was no indication that he hit either suspect. the injured officer was taken to hospital. there was another incident overnight, an off-duty city solicitor was shot at, whilst driving in his car. suffering injuries. the stupid coming after a tense week in ferguson. demonstrators protests the death of michael brown. he was shot by a police officer last month. a grand jury is examining evidence, to determine whether darren wilson will face charges.

thomas jackson had been pressured to resign, and he issued a statement to the brown family. i'm sorry for the loss of your son, and that it took so long. >> i don't want words. i want action. >> they have handcuffed the process, charged with murder. >> michael brown's parents were in the nation's capital on fr. and they are calling on congress to pass a law for police officers to wear body cameras. ferguson is trying to fix its broken image, officials have been trying to hold public hearse, offer apology. some in the community blame ferguson's leaders. others say real reform lies in

the hands of residents themselves. diane eastabrook reports. >> reporter: it's a tape call day in this judge's ferguson courtroom. >> you have to stay out of trouble. >> defendants, mostly black, appear before the judge on traffic violations that often result in stiff fines. >> it's 75 plus costs. if you would see the ladies to make arrangements. >> lee lloyd is here for driving on a suspended licence, it's not his first ticket. >> sometimes i don't ride through ferguson so i won't get stopped. >> accusations of racial bias in ferguson's police department and the municipal court prompt the city to consider dropping some fines that critics unfairly target minorities. >> see the clerk in the corner. it's a step in repairing community relations that ruptured last month after a white police officer shot unarmed black teen michael brown.

the town took another step inviting residence to air grievanc grievances. the police chief apologised for the way his department handled the shooting. >> no one who has not experienced the loss of a child can under what you are feel. i'm truly sorry for the loss of your son. >> everyone is tuned in to ferguson. >> reporter: on a radio talk show a law professor discusses the violence in town, and says city leaders are trying to bridge a link to the community, but have a long way to two. >> the citizen's frustrations are yes, i'm voicing concerns, but not getting empathy, i'm not feeling that there's genuine concern. >> activists say real change will not come to ferguson, until they have an active role. that means voting. in the last election, 12% of the

city's voters cast ballots. ferguson is predominantly black, the mayor is white. patricia wants to change that. >> i don't think any of us can go back to the way things are. >> the democratic committee woman lives around the corner since brown was shot. she's been holding weekly civic classes for residents recollects encouraging them to run for office. >> i had people come back and say "i'm sorry, i should have run, i wasn't engaged". >> protests in ferguson continues, but are smaller. a reminder that the community hasn't found a new normal. >> diane eastabrook joins us over the phone from chicago. u there has been a delay in indicting darren wilson. is that fuelling the flames.

>> that's the reason people are so pet. we've been hearing calls for indictment. the country posterior thought the grand jury would finish work in woct. >> in addition to the calls of indictment mentioned. there were renewed calls for the mayor to step down. what are you hearing. >> have been hearing calls for the last few weeks, and under missouri law, they would not be able to do a recall in october. the mayor was elected in april. we heard of calls to recall the mayor, nobody has taken that step to do it. there has been no organised effort to get a petition together. get people to sign the petition. we hear both sides we got calm.

given what you saw when you were there, is it too early to call for an easing of tensions? >> well, i think the city is taking baby steps. baby steps in mending the relationship. it's the last week. we have begun to see the hearings and the mayor came out and issued an apology. the si takes the steps. many in the community say these are delayed steps. it's going to take months, and it could be years for them to build a good relationship with res gents. >> hans-dieter dreher, thank you for being with us this morning. >> coming up at around 8:30 eastern. we talk to joe harris, a court reporter covering the death in

ferguson since the death of michael brown. >> 30 are feared dead after becoming trapped near the peak of an erupting vol anno. lifeless bodies were found. wayne hay has more. >> reporter: when mt ontake roared to life, it caught people by surprise. the eruption happened at a busy time tonne the mountain. >> translation: for a while i heard the pounding of thunder. soon after climbers started to descend. they were covered with ash, covered in white. i thought to myself this must be serious. one hiker captured the eruption on camera, he realised he and his group were in trouble. seconds later they were enveloped by the ash cloud as debris rained down on them.

it's one of the most popular climbing destinations in japan, some were trapped on the mountain. >> i'm so relieved i couldn't sleep all night. >> among the workers, defense force personnel ordered to the scene by japan's prime minister shinzo abe. they were met by a mountain spewing ash. the area surrounding the volcano burst, nearby towns have not been evacuated. mt ontake is one of 110 volcanos, and one in 47 under surveillance. the last time the volcano had an eruption. there was volcanic earthquakes earlier this month. they had slowed down. the alert level was not raised. this time of year is popular among tourists. thousands flocked to see the

scenic views as the leaves change colours. loud explosions in afghanistan. days before the country's president is inaugurated. a bomb went off near the capital. the police say the magnetic device was attached to a military vehicle. one day a person -- in one day ashraf ghani will be inaugurated. >> central command says a building and two tanks belonging to that group destroyed near the turkish town of kobani. many have fled from the area. many neighbourhoods - it's difficult to distinguish who is an i.s.i.l. loyalist, sue turton

has more. >> in a building site in the south of kirkuk. kurdish special forces followed up. they discovered a container buried under ground. hiddened in. a cache of weapons, ammunitions and explosives. three men were at the site. moving to kirkuk, and boasted to the officers that they were i.s.i.l. the men and the evidence were handed over to the local police to be processed and sent to the courts. the kurdish security officers have little hope the suspects would be convicted. >> many judges of the court told us that their homes are in the south and are not protected. i.s.i.l. attacks them. they are too afraid to put their families in danger. >> some of the judges are sunnis, and nationalistic,

that's why they released him. >> the sunni arab population increased enormously over the past few months, as over 100,000 fled the fighting, making kirkuk their new home. it's become a nervous city with security forces finding it diff to track down those loyal to i.s.i.l. >> there are two kinds of sunni arabs. some in league with i.s.i.l., some againstment it's important for us to give updated information to the air strike so they don't attack the wrong side. that's crucial. we have good relations with some tribes, and are telling them to stay away from i.s.i.l., we don't want to turn them into our enemy. >> the front line is 30km outside the city. >> i have been asked to keep my voice down, because we are close to the i.s.i.l. position. it's 50 meters away, across the river. the problem the fighters have

are there are 45 sunni arab villages living in the three villages across the way, and they don't want to kill the civilians. civilians are saying we can't force i.s.i.l. out of the villages. >> a coalition air strike hit across the river, killing four, including two senior i.s.i.l. commanders. the coalition hub will not launch attacks where civilians are living, and they cannot help to weed out i.s.i.l. sleeper cells. a fully functioning security and judicial system can hope to do that. >> kirkuk is an yol-rich region where -- oil-rich region, but pipe lines have been cut, limiting oil production. american boots on the ground in west africa. the front line fight against ebola, and what u.s. troops are doing to contain it. what fuelled a fire shutting schools and businesses. >> everybody has a right to have

citizenship. every single kid who born they should have a birth certificate. citizens without a state. why thousands are denied their civil rights 60 years after a u.n. resolution to protect them. doing to contain it.

a huge fire at an oil refinery on the italian island of sicily. the blaze burning for more than a day after erupting friday afternoon. scoops and businesses were closed as hundred of panicked residents fled the area - fearing the flames will jump to meesh buildings. good morning, welcome back to "al jazeera america". an american exposed to ebola is under go treatment in the united states. the patient is a doctor volunteering in sierra leone. he'll be admitted to the clin uk in maryland for observation. u.s. troops are on the ground in

liberia to help the country fight the spread of ebola. engineers in the capital of monrovia are overseeing the construction of a new hospital. despite the dangers, those sent in are ready for the challenge. >> i feel happy to be here. it's good to do our job and have a mission that supports others. we are in the middle of making a difference in another country this needs help. >> 3,000 u.s. military personnel are deployed to west africa, and the mission to train health care workers and build more than a doze i'm field hospitals. 60 years ago today the united nation the adopted a convention protecting stateless people, guarding millions around the world that do not hold citizenship anywhere. the stateless and thailand are denied the right to education, health care and more. >> reporter: in the eyes of the law, these people do not exist. they are among 10 million

worldwide who are stateless. they are denied rights to education, health care and the freedom to travel. at the clinic, the villagers on the thai border with myanmar are getting help. they are advised on ways to be recognised by the thailand government. it's a step disorders the united nations campaign to end statelessness. this man was once stateless herself. she was born and grew up in thailand. she fought four years to get citizenship. now she wants to help others get out of the trap of statelessness. >> everyone has a right to have citizenship, and every kid born should have a birth certificate or a document that prove who they are, where they were born.

that is easier said than done. the people fled war and persecution across the border. their statelessness is born out of the clash between a fluid need to survive, and the hard politics of nation states. >> it's the middle of the rainy season and most of the houses are makeshift, leaving the people unprotected. it's similar to the legal situation. about a third of the households here are not documented. that means that they are totally unprotected under the law. >> after getting legal advice at the village community space, this woman shares what she learnt with the men in her family. she has four children born here, but they can't get the education or careers they want. they get sick, they can't access affordable health care. in some cases trafficked.

>> if we have education, then we'll know what our rites are. and we can pass it on to other stateless people. norma and millions like her are out to prove that it's far from being hopeless. in the movie "the terminal", tom hanks plays a man stuck at an airport because he's stateless. the story is fictional, but in real life app iranian citizen lived at the charles de-stutt for 18 years. speaking of airports, damage to the airports in phoenix. an area of heavy rain is pushing to the east. this is the flooding around phoenix arizona. you are getting the heavy thunder storms. the storm is not moving much. it is located across the

south-west. there's a lot of moisture pulled up from the south, across the golf of california. into the four corner states, this area of low pressure. you can see the loop, and this is more moisture and rain fall. the area of flooding pushing a little further east. flash flooding will happen again. tensions flaring in ferguson, not one, but two police officers shot at. we talk to a court reporter covering the event in st louis. since michael brown was shot and killed. >> plus the nation's first african-american general resigns. next up in weekend politics, along with a new baby for the clinton family. >> and wait till you see what ms vermont did to support the fight for cancer.

you're looking at live pictures from hong kong where pro-democracy protesters have been in a stand off with police for a week. police used tear gas and pepper spray. the movement is occupy central, with peace and love. we'll have a live report from the scene of the protest at the top of the hour. welcome back, thank you for joining us this morning. i'm morgan radford, and these are the top stories. rescuers spotted for man 30 bodies near the peak of central japan's erupting volcano, several others have been rescued alive. more than 200 have been trapped when mt ontake erupted without warning. chaos in hong kong, thousands of pro-democracy crowds have taken over the streets. police used pepper spray to dispel the crowds. >> police searching for two

suspect who fled after shooting an officer in the arm in ferguson. it happened late last night while the officer was on patrol. authorities are investigating a second incident where gunmen fired at an off duty st louis country officer. both are expected to recover. >> officials don't believe either of the shootings were related to the turmoil over unarmed teenager michael brown's death. protests fill the streets. joe is a court reporter and is from the area and joins us this morning via skype. joe, as i mentioned, you are from the area. when things seemed like they were calming down, what would it take for officials to do between then and now to meant the gap? >> this distrust has been built

up over decades. they tried to extend different olive branches, as far as transparency and communication to the community. the department of justice intervention - in their investigation - they have been taking the lead in this. really, there's a lot of distrust, and what the protesters really want is they want action, an indictment and criminal charges brought up against officer wilson. given what you have seen, are you confident that the police have given those actions. >> as a court reporter, as far as my reference, you have to let the legal process play out. we have due process of bob mcculler who came under fire. they want him to remove himself from the investigation, the feds

to handle the investigation. he refused to do that. he is presenting the evidence to the grand jury, and they'll decide whether or not to indict. mccullar has said that, you know, in an unusual move, that if there's no indictment he will release all the evidence in transfers given to the grand jury. i guess as another, you know way to try to show transparency in the investigation. at this point though, in talking to a lot of protesters, that's not going to be good enough. they want an indictment, criminal charges, a conviction. and i've had more than one protestor telling me anything less than that it will escalate. >> joe harris, bureau chief, and court reporter in ferguson. >> we have been great

colleagues. the bonds between us are deeper than that. in good times and in bad, in things personal and things professional you have been there for me. i'm proud to call you my friend. >> that was attorney general eric holder on thursday reflecting on his relationship with president obama as he announced he'd step down from the administration. attorney general eric holder said he will remain in office. his resignation it first up in weekend politics. joining me is bill o'reilly, and basil smikle. former senator, and contributor to the hill.com. the president called holder's depart fewer bittersweet. let's start with you. what do you think he meant to the president. >> it's interesting. one of my favourite comedic shows - they have a skit with obama, and the angry translator, in a way that's where holder

was. >> do you think it was on point and tart. >> holder was able to say a lot thing the president could not say. he rein vig rated the fill rights office. with respect to voting rights and police brutality, decriminalizing behaviour. they are things we have not heard the attorney-general talk about. it's a huge loss. the tenure is remarkable. >> before we talk about the republican angle on this, i want to get your opinion on something the president said. >> do you think that was true when it came to the areas of race. >> the president was race neutral in his campaign. he stepped into the waters wons during the campaign, and once afterwards.

if you remember the beer at the white house. you saw a lot of that recede. but holder took the torch from that point on. from a legal standpoint, through the bureaucracy of government tried to address those issues. >> let's listen to a sound bite that the president gave us. >> but we still have to close the opportunities. we have to close the justice gap. how justice is applied. but also how it is perceived, how it is experienced. eric holder understands this. >> that was him talking to the congressional black caucus. >> attorney general eric holder was the one that would deliver the message. i think the country would have been better off had it been president obama deliver the message, he has the political deafness to do it. some of these would have fenn

vited the country. attorney general eric holder has a way of sharp elbows, and became controversial in office. attorney general eric holder has been resigning for a year and a half. he said he would go before the election, he is not leading until the replacement is picked. that could be the next election. >> attorney general eric holder has been called the most divisive aj. >> yes, he's more direct than i am. he's up there on the list. >> over the weekend the rshan post said holder's legacy - do you guys see this as a lasting legacy. all americans, not just black americans. >> controversy. he is a very active attorney-general, he was sharply

leftist in areas of houseing. i think the gun issue will come in there. he was an activist for what he believed. and rub people the wong way in doing it. you are seeing a model that hasn't existed. >> do you think that is the mould that we will see. she's an act visit. tone if other attorneys. the latitude to do what holder will do under president obama. he will creed a lot of what he did or didn't say. i don't know if any other will have that kind of relationship. hillary and bill left a special

photo. >> the baby's arrival, charlotte, would be a factor in her decision. now that charlotte is here, will that speepd up things? -- speed up things. >> i don't know whether a grandchild will speed up her decision to run. she has a great opportunity. this is the most, the best job she has ever had. >> it's a great moment for the clintons. the country whether you are pro clinton or democratic republican. chelsea clinton is important. i don't know if this will be a factor. i think it depends. she told charlie rose, that this is not a job she'll want to skim over, being a grandmother. >> do you think it will slow down or speepd up the process? >> she knew it was coming.

i think it factors into her decision. you are not saying in, and we take about this, but others said that well, she'll ba grandmother, she won't run. you don't use that same yardstick to judge men running for office. i don't want to say that it is disqualifying her from running. certainly, all kinds of family issues weigh into the decision. whatever decision she made, she made it a long time ago or came closer to the decision a long time ago. this not just adds to her happiness, but i think it adds to her message on the campaign trial. it was a tightly controlled agenda. on either side of the aisle. do you think there a candidate attractingour attention.

i don't think anyone else can match that. what hillary clinton does is what she did in 2008, where she dries up the field. president obama being a talent guy that stepped in. no one has the name. >> d. inside the u.s. or without. she was foreign policy, domestic policy, is a household name. having a grandchild softens her up. they are great pictures, and i am sure there'll be pictures on the campaign trial. thoughiun walks in with -- no one walks in with what she has. >> what about the former virginian governor, the senator. he said he'd take a look at running. is he the contender. he'll take a hard look at it. i don't know if he does that, i'm not sure going into some of

bill's point. i don't know in he can raise the money. from a policy perspective he'll give the best competition, he's a little more hawkish. >> why is he the best competition. he's less - moderate, less left leaning and progressive than bernie sanders, or elizabeth warren from massachusetts. i think idea logically they are similar. because he's hawkish, if you look at the movements around presidencies, 2004, with howard dean, 2008 with barak. the war the...

..will want someone to the left of hillary clinton christopher gibson. >> we'll see. okay, thank you basil, democratic strategist and republican strat childrening, bill, thank you for joining us.

the same manager at the helm, as well as the flawed roll out. fewer than 40,000 users downloaded the update before it was pulled. >> some roads have been flooded. >> looking at the pictures from tampa, this is days of heavy rain. leading to the flash flooding. storms developing. storming out. more showers and storms, and areas of low pressure, focussing more rain. this is the area flash flooding with heavy rain predicted from louisiana, along the gulf coast of florida. a lot of flooding around tampa is the rivers that flooded because of the days of heavy rain. seeing storms developing and

watching the area closely, it's along the coast. this spin could have been the air pressure. that's why flash flood watch is in effect. here is the flood warnings still in effect around tampa. a lot of rivers occurring there because the rain that has fallen. the storms developing 1-3 inches of rain, fast flooding could flood more roadways and see more pictures that we have seen here around tampa. if you are looking to get away from the rain look at the colours, approaching the peak colour around new england and northern minnesota. temperatures climbing into the 80s. >> thank you so much. >> off the streets and into the surf... >> the kids here are the kids involved in violence and gangs. >> a programme that is keeping kids from hanging around by hanging 10.

slowly towards baghdad. they left the villages without leadership. the military push required that somebody re-establish authority. things of that kind for baking administration. without hostilities, military commanders were put into the roles as governors and mayors. >> it's interesting because in 2013 you returned to iraq and went back to the town. why was it important for you to go back 10 years later. >> it was my town. i spent my first exposure. and their first exposure to america was the same. we are making the first

impression. i wanted to know what impression we made. there was no way to tell in the moment if we were doing anything of value. what was the legacy. had we done anything good at all in considering the current situation in iraq, where most of our legacy steamed to be dark. i hoped that the village had survived. >> speaking of legacy, i want to show an image of saddam hussein, you write today is better than tomorrow, about many feeling nostalgic for the autocratic predict ability. for someone that fought to free iraqis from the predict ability, how did you feel about that? >> we all feel terribly, i would think. it's in the hope of the progress. we have seen regression into

quay sos, and what is worse than that is mane iraqis were conhave you beensed america was behind -- convinced america was behind al qaeda. our former policy has been a lit the manic. we supported iranions against sudan, and sudan against iranians, they can't tell what side we are on, and many americans are wondering also. that was in that moment. meeting the villages for the first time, and after a while is the only reason we were working. we encouraged a revolution.

the leader sh was identified. rer resumed the bodies executed. trust is not earnt. >> you talked about the regression. what do you think of the situation in iraq and syria. how do you think the air strikes in northern iraq will effect the country. >> we don't seem to be discussing aftermath. post hostilities, $was not one. plans subsequent to the initial ideas of a than failed for the most part. i think the structure of the nations noded to figure out

where history needs modernality. we don't know who the new leaders will be. we don't know the fate of swimmen right or religious tolerance. that is the big question. we are not good at foresight or being in the moment, from what i can tell. >> we are looking to determine. >> you can find that article. thank you for being with us this morning. >> stay tuned. tomorrow, narendra modi, indian prime minister, is in new york city for his first trip to america. he wants to open doors to economic trade with the united states. can the u.s. overlook his controversial past. >> before we go, a man from ohio has potatos and kick start to
