>> reporter: governor nixon issuing this executive order a couple of moments ago, many consider it could be coming sooner than later. the guard cass pwha*pbs activated but it also means the county and state police department and the highway patrol will act as a unified group. that's what this executive order entails, it's in place for the next 30 daze unless the governor decides to extend it. we just heard from the merry few moments ago where he says despite this executive order it doesn't mean there will be militarization of the police deem it's just a precautionary measure if there is violence after the decision from the grants jury is made, david. >> jonathan, i gather that the snow and cold weather has not deterred activists from going to clayton, missouri today. what did they hope to accomplish by doing that? >> reporter: yeah, david, clayton, if you didn't know, is a suburb of st. louis. unlike ferguson, though, it is a mostly white and effluent

community. it's considered a political hub and the county seat in that area and there are about 200 protesters out there today walking in the streets. they said they wanted to shutdown the city that was their plan. they said it was a preview of what will happen if officer wilson is not indicted. they went up to some of the cars that were stopped at intersections stopping them from going, we also saw them shouting at police officers. for the most part, the police officer stood back and did not engage the protesters. most of the people that were out there today tell us that they have been frosting from the beginning. and so they feel that their message at least this go around will be more focused and they plan to be nonviolet. that's what the people out there told us. >> i understand that st. louis area school district have been told they will get a three-hour warning once the grand jury has made a decision so they can get all the school students home and off the streets. what other preparations are being made? >> reporter: well, in some of the communities they are in

close contact with police, specifically in clayton, the video you just saw they are working with chamber of commerce and the police department. in ferguson where we are some businesses are boarded up as a precautionary measure. they are for the most part still open, though. in clayton the community a that you just saw are waiting for see what will happen. a lot of the folks in ferguson proper are already taking precautionary measures. >> jonathan martin live in ferguson, missouri, jonathan, thank you. a quick look at how things unfolded back on august 9th the crucial day in all of this. according to a st. louis post dispatch review of police tapings at 11:47 central time that day officer darren wilson responded to a 911 call for a six baby. a few minutes later at 11:53 a.m. a dispatcher reports an incidents at a ferguson market and liquor store, officers search for suspect. at noon officer wilson reports that he's done with the sick baby call and back in service.

he asks the officers if they need helpful one minute later wilson en counters michael brown and a friend on can feel drive at 12:02 p.m. after police say brown assaulted wilson, the officer shot and killed michael brown. several hundred protesters garth in other words ferguson to mark 100 days since michael brown was shot and killed. ferguson's mayor is pledge to go move his city forward no matter what the grand jury says. america tonight's lori grain talked to the mayor. >> knowing the grand jury will do something soon, what do you hope the grants jury does? >> i don't care one way or another what the outcome is. as long as it's the legal and fair outcome you were the law. no matter what happens the city will work to move forward. >> what has been the hardest part of this for you? >> the hardest part has been seeing the community that i grew up in, the community that i love, the community that i have

committed to serving and been on the city council for almost 10 years now, to see it embroiled in this kind of racial tension, to see this kind of uproar. never seen any kind of racial frustrations or strive, i have never seen this kind of outcry, never seen any kind of outcry really. we are a community that really kind of bucked the trend when it came to white flight. >> some people may look at that and go how can you be the fair of herring son and be surprised that this exists or people are this upset or feeling this way when you have lived here your whole life? >> well, i think let's be clear, too, ferguson is a community of 22,000 people. this is a metro region of 2 million people. we are only about a mile and a half from the city of st. louis which has a very long and storied history of racial division, racial politics, racial strao*eufp. strive. you haven't seen that permeate the suburbs over the past

decades. >> what would you say have been your worst moment or the most difficult part of that whole process? >> there has been a few times when i felt that ferguson was alone, therefore i felt alone. not personally but as the leader in the community. the issues here transcend the city of ferguson. they are not just county issues, state issues, there are national issues at play. a small community police department, small community city staff is not really equipped to deal with, you know, the issues that the united states hasn't dealt with for 400 years. >> you can see much more of lori jane glee law's interview with james knolls on aamerica tonigh. a few minutes ago kassig's parents spoke publically for the first time since the news of his son's murder. he was captured last year while doing aid work in syria.

he's also a former army ranger. for more now we go to jamie macintyre in washington. jamie his parents came tout to flee plea for his life about a month ago after spending more than a year in silence watch did they have to say today? >> reporter: as you can imagine, david, they are heart broken today. ed and paula kassig say that they believe their son lost his life as a result his love for the syrian people. and his desire to relieve their suffering here is a little of what they had to a say a while ago. >> our hearts of battered, but they will mend. the world is broken but it will be holds in the end. and good whim prevail as the one god of many names will prevail. >> pleas play for abdul, or pete if that's how you know him, a at sunset this evening. pray also for all people in syria, in iraq, and around the world that are held against

their will. and lastly, please allow our small family the time and privacy to mourn, cry, and, yes, forgive, and begin to heal. >> reporter: peter kassig changed his name to abdul when he convert today islam. he, as you said, was a u.s. army ranger, had served in special forces in iraq. and had gone back to create a relief agency to help the syrian people. that's when he was captured by the islamic state militants. david. >> jamie, there were others in the video post third degree weekend who were beheaded. what's the latest intelligence and information on that? >> reporter: well, there were more victims for one thing. there were a group of men who were in blue jumpsuits that were identified as syrian military officers or pilots. they were also executed by the isil militants, but there were also some of the militants were not masked and french

authorities have now identified one of them, they believe was a french national, who had gone to fight with isil in syria. and another person on the tape appears to have -- might be a british subject, his father says he believes that's his son. that has not been confirmed yet. so this tape is a little different than previous ones because it didn't show the actual beheading, it just showed the aftermath. and some of the militants were unmasked. >> and, jamie, as you noted different in many ways also in terms of the number of cameras and the staging. there have been some speculation that this may suggest that isil is somewhat perhaps on the run at least in terms of making these videos. has there been any comment along those lies from government officials, national security contacts and whatnot. the defense secretary -- i mean the secretary of state, john kerry today, made a speech in which he outlined again the u.s. strategy to fight isil. he said, you know, these videos are actually one of their best

recruiting tools in order to broaden the coalition to use military force against isil, and he said that the united states will not be intimidated. >> as the us limb the islamic l has shown by its actions its desire is to impose its will over as many people and as much territory as it can. but unlike some extremist groups, it is relatively well organized, disciplined even. its actions are systemic and planned. and isil doesn't have itsy crimes. isil is defined by its crimes. >> reporter: and kerry also reiterated the u.s. position and actually called another country -- called on other countries to do what they called a heart wrenching decision is not pay ransom. he said history shows it only results in more people being taken hostage. >> jamie macintyre in

washington. jamie, thank you. iraqi forces air their counterattack against isil which included taking control of beiji last week now targeting the group's operations in tikrit. but the recapture of these cities is not as significant as it may sound. hundreds of thousands of iraqis have already fled. and in these cities the fighting has taken a heavy toll on basic needs and infra structure. inning ram kahn has this exclusive report from a town south of kirkuk. >> reporter: nowhere to go and nowhere to stay. when isil fighters took the town in june, they she would indiscriminately, destroying her house. the many in her family tried to fight back, but without backup, they were over run. >> translator: isil attacked under the circumstances in the early hours of the morning. they swept the houses of the village and looked for those resisting them. when my husband and two sons ran out of ammunition they stormed the house and executed them. but i managed to escape in an underground hole after two days

i got out with my grandchildren only to see that our house was burned down and isil took our car and electricityenerator. >> reporter: she becomes too upset to talk. but her cousin tells us what happened next. >> translator: we have lost 22 men from our family. we have been displaced for more than three months. our family has been scattered. some to the north of iraq, others to the south. the rest just outside of kirkuk. after the village was liberated. some of us came back but only to see devastation of what used to be a peaceful suburb. >> reporter: she and her three remaining grandchildren now live in the bathroom of this bombed out shell. in september iraq's army came in to fight isil and to retake the town. more shelling and street battled scarred the town further. with so much focus placed on winning the war against isil, very little thought has been given to what happens next.

the iraqi army tack stick in go in to a town, clear of isil fighters and hold that town what, that means for the few residents that remain is they live in squalor the ones that come back take a look at what's left and wonder what will happen next. graffiti supporting isil still covers the walls here and although the suburb was hardly well off before the war, it was at least functional. for now, children explore the wreckage while the adults who have returned here to assess the damage can only feel despair. they have no idea when they can rebuild. when they can return home, or what help the government will give them. imran kahn, al jazerra, baghdad. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is on his way to london ahead of talks with iran, world powers are meet to go hammer out a long-determine deal over iran's nuclear program. the u.s. and its partners wants iran to cut its enrichment capability significantly. iran says it's asking for too much and wants a guarantee that sanctions will be reduced before

making any cuts. the currents interim deal expires next monday. u.s. state department is checking its computers systems after a suspected hacking attack. the unclassified e-mail system and some public websites had to be shutdown for security updates. officials say the attack happened in october, around the same time the white house announced some of its computers were hacked think we were told no classified documents were compromised. dozens of protesters filled the streets of jerusalem overnight. the demonstrations began after a palestinian bus driver was found hanged inside his vehicle. israelii officials show the man's up shows he committed suicide. the family of the driver says they don't believe it. nick schifrin joins us live from jerusalem. why is the family rejecting the findings of the up report, and what are they saying happened to the bus driver? >> reporter: yeah, david, there are two reasons why they reject the report. a report from a palestinian coroner who was inside the

actual up speaking to the family lower, whom we spoke to and, that family lawyer says the coroner says there is a report that the bus driver was strangled to death. so there is that report in front of them. also it's just a lack of trust. so many palestinians in east jerusalem do not trust what the israeli police have to say especially after another death this summer when they believe that israeli police lied and covered up in a case where a palestinian teenager was killed by jewish extremists and they believe it is happening again and did not believe what the police is saying and therefore protested in the streets today. >> nick, you reported last week that israel had allowed essentially got rid of the age restriction on his the al-aqsa mosque and the temple now. has that ratcheted tensions down

or are things still pretty bad in jerusalem? >> reporter: yeah, david, i think four or five days ago had we been talking about an incidents like this, we would be talking about dozens of clashes with hundreds of protesters rather than a handful of clashes with dozens of protesters. the fact is that the tension was extremely high on last thursday and then that decision was made to eliminate the age restriction, that definitely took fuel off the fire. but an incidents like this goes to show just how right below the surface these tensions are. of course they are always right below the surface but especially in the last few weeks there has been so much violence, david, just a couple of stats for you. there huh been more palestinians who have killed israelis in the past month than in the past two years. and on the other side on average us rome i forces are killing palestinian in the occupied west bank every five days, we simply haven't had those numbers over the past few years and that's why people are fearful now that

any little violence or any large violence can really spark a much more widespread up rising of violence right now, though, we see protests tonight but they are relatively small and while there is tension it is not exploding right now. >> terrific spec pec perspectivm nick in al jazerra. four months after a malaysian airlines plane was shot down they are starting to clear the wreckage. the flight was shot down in july over the rebelled-held territory in donetsk. recovery efforts will take several days, there huh been dueling accusations over who was responsible for bringing the plane down, russia and ukraine have pointed fingers at each other as they continue to battle despite a ceasefire. harry has more from donetsk. >> reporter: the wreckage now lies in what is accept consist controlled part of eastern ukraine, and so that's what's made it so difficult for the deathers and the international monitor to his couldn't and get

the agreements and safeguards they needed. they have done so, pieces of the wreckage are being brought out and taken to the ukraine city of kharkiv. and taken to the netherlands where the investigators will try to piece together at least part of the plane as they try to determine agently what was the cause of its explores and its coming down. of course nato and ukraine accuse russia of sending further troops across the board. poroshenko himself, the president of ukraine, issued a decree talking about end is state services in this part of ukraine, ending banking services as well. now he says he doesn't want war, but that his forces are in a better position than they were a few months ago and that the ukrainian side is ready for a resumption of what he calls total war. harry reporting from donetsk. the crisis in ukraine has prompted a new battle between russia and the west, it's a grab for command resources in the

arctic and troops from both sides are already lined up for the fight. "real money's" alley velshi traveled to eastern europe where these document this is any cold war. >> reporter: it's all routine nato exercise in military readiness. but demonstrations of force like this, have tang on a new urgency for the west. here beside the mountains in romania, these soldiers are training for battle. just a seven hour drive from ukraine. despite good relations with russia, nato uses this joint command center and its f-16s to be nato's eyes and ears in the sky when it comes to russia. norway runs that operation from its military headquarters which it rely move recently moved 600s north becoming only military with headquarters inside the arctic circle. one big reason for the move, to keep better tabs on russia.
