clear out a site for a second day there has been unrest in ferguson. there are reports we have peace

protesters, that's okay. when we have an array of things on the tailgate, rocks, bottle, a socket extension, broken tent polls hurled at the office, people of ash felt filled with probably gatorade or something you can drink. others appearing to be filled with urine. they are things we are trying to protect guards men and police officers from. >> the police chief going over some of the its used to target the officers. 2,200 national guard troops on the streets on tuesday night. the police presence more visible on tuesday night than it was on monday night. >> absolutely, where we were, and where we saw the unlawful

assembly dispersed, that was the police department, the touchstone where it all went off when the verdict came down, or the decision of the grand jury. those police officers, and the national guards many behind them, they overwhelmed the protesters who may have wanted a confrontation or see tear gas flying or see clashes. they'd move out into the crowd, they'd do a focused arrest. get the armoured vehicles, spread them out in a fan shape and use them to funnel people into the middle. they had their tactics down pat. it served them well. they were not large numbers of arrest, given that there were many hundreds of people involved. there was some looting. they did attack a police car and set it on fire. they are satisfied. it was, however, a cold night. that keeps people off the

streets, it's well below freezing. well after midnight, people are heading to their homes or where they are staying, and we'll see about farm. >> on tuesday, the officer, the police officers at the center of the protest spoke to the u.s. media, and darren wilson gave his account of what happened on august 9th. >> i used my door to try to push him back. again he pushed the door shut and staired at me. as i look back punches start flying. >> he threw the first punch. >> yes. it hit me to the left. >> some of the witnesses said he you tried to pull him into the car. >> that would be against all training. there was a barrage of swinging, grabbing and pulling for 10 seconds. >> i reached out my window of my right hand to grab onto the

forearm. i felt the power that he had. the way i described it. there's like a 5-year-old. that's how big this man was. >> he was large, a powerful man. >> dan yes, darren wilson said highs -- daniel, darren wilson said his conscience is clear. how did the interview, what he said, go down with the people there? >> the community leaders have been interviewed on local media saying it was a disappointment. they would have liked to have heard some expression, if not remorse, an awareness that what happened in august, last night, when the jury cleared him, had an impact on the community - buildings destroyed, the image of the place once again associated with violence in the street. also, i did hear an interview with the person who was with michael brown, when he was killed, dorian johnson. the two of them walking down the street. he utterly disagreed with the

version of event by darren wilson, that was broadcast in that interview and told to the grand jury. i don't think he's changed minds of the people who were angry about this by what he said. on the contrary, people said it's a grave disappointment to hear a tone from him. >> thank you so much. thank you for staying up late. thank you for reporting. as we mentioned there were protests elsewhere in the united states. let's talk a look. this is new york city demonstrators blocking highways, heading for times square in the center of manhattan. and people also took to another central manhattan square. they were marching in new york for a second night. they are pictures from boston, where hundreds of people gathered to demand justice for michael brown's family. local police struggling to keep them off the highways. and oakland, there were protests

and loading. a reporter for the tribune explained how the nature of the protest changed overnight. >> protests started in the downtown area, circled throughout downtown to the city's chinatown, largely peaceful at the start. o p.d. was initially successful in blocking the entry ways to the city's highways. but at one point protesters were able to sneak on to the major interstate in the middle of town, and that's when things went south. along the way there were dumpsters pushing the street, on fire, one mattress on fire. the police department dash fill walking up telegraph avenue pushing north. they gave dispersal orders

moments ago asking people to get off the street or they'd be arrested. there has been arrests on the block i'm on now. they are moving the crowd further north. >> air strikes in syria reportedly killed more than 90, injuring hundreds of others. it targeted islamic state of iraq and levant. but a res detentional area -- residential area came under attack and many of the victims were civil yanls. >> this is what it looks in raqqa after the george city was hit by a series of air strikes. cars set alight. buildings destroyed. as people picked through the charred remains of their homes, they must be wondering when it will end. 10 regime air strikes targeted markets in the center. other buildings, including the museum and the mosque were hit.

activists say mean victims were women and children. raqqa is targeted by the islamic state of iraq and levant. in fact, syrian government air strikes on raqqa increased since u.s. forces started attacking i.s.i.l. positions in september. >> what we see today is striking in raqqa province to give the impression that he is working in coordination with the international coalition, something that leaves the syrian people thinking they are alone against a dictator, that doesn't seem to do anything to stop him. and i.s.i.l., which is another foreign entity that has come and devastated the syrian people. >> the people living in raqqa, the situation is getting desperate. one resident tweeted:

according to syrian observatory for human rights, the bashar al-assad regime launched 1500 air strikes across syria, in raqqa they collect the bodies of the dead a court in the libyan cabinet issued an arrest wonder for khalifa haftar. it's part of a power struggle. it comes hours after air strikes hit tripoli's only functioning airport. the group says it was forced to hit the airport because it had fallen under the control of a rival administration in tripoli. this month the supreme court dissolved the parliament ruling it unconstitutional. >> more ahead on al jazeera, including honouring an exemptional individual in the

tell us where you are, and what this award means for the people there. >> that's right. this is panz. >> hospital, a unique place for congo and the world. there's nowhere else where so many women who are victims of sexual violence, injured during rape have been treated. they treated 30,000 since the 1990s. it was in '96 when neighbouring ugan uganda, instability and rape was widespread. we spoke to the women who recently arrived here. let's look at the story now. >> this woman was going to collect crops from her farm when rebels gang raped her. her hip was injured so greatly that she couldn't walk. >> translation: after they were done with me, they raped my

mother-in-law with sticks. she bled heavily, she died. i fought hard until my leg collapsed. >> translation: these three months pregnant. one of the attackers is the father. she can walk. we spoke to her in the grounds of the hospital in democratic republic of congo. it's founded and run by a gynaecologist. through his work here, he has become a leading expert on treating women injured by gang rape. >> the women in this ward are recovering from surgery. many suffered severe or permanent injuries. the people working here say it's busier when the conflicts are more heated. this is one of a few facilities where you can get this type of specialist treatment. >> thousands of women are in need as decades of conflict has become widespread.

the doctor learnt how to treat survivors, he said something needs to be done to stop the perpetrators. >> they perceived many victims of sexual violence and they receive children under the age of 10. the government needs to provide security and the international security needs help to end this once and for all. >> the european union awarded a prize for work. that goes beyond medical treatment. the women learnt to make hand crofts, and get counselling too. those rejected by their husbands can stay. >> singing hyms can lift the mood. here they get the chance they need. >> he is outspoken and tweeted

that it means nothing for the women unless there is peace, and he's been critical of the congo loose government and the international community. that's right. in 2002 he gave a speech to the u.n. for which he's become famous, and said there's no excuse for not stopping the sexual violence and conflict in eastern congo, he said it's known who the perpetrators are, which politicians back them, and who the allies are in the west and behind. there's a lack of political will for doing anything about it. he's grateful for the support, perpetrate scores are allowed to run free, and the governments back them as well. >> he said something needs to be done. less than a week later he came back to his home down, armed men tried to kill him in his own home. it's not unusual in congo for people who raised their head above the parapet.

people don't know who the killers were, but suspect it could be one of the many parties that he criticized. while there has been a lot of recognition for the work treating the survivors. the problems of sexual violence and rape is ongoing. that is something he's outspoken about. >> thank you so much. malcolm webb reporting live in the east of the democratic republic of congo staying in africa. two bomb explosions killed 60 people at a crowded market in north-eastern nigeria. minutes after the explosion a suicide bomber targeted rescue teams. more than 1,500 died in violent attacks. >> police in hong kong dismantled barricades, pulled down tents. more than 100 people have been

arrested. traffic has started to flow again. anti-government demonstrators blocked it since late september. >> rob mcbride has the latest from the area in hong kong. >> the operation has taken most of the morning when hundreds of police officers, and more in reserve are clearing the whole length of the road, the thorough fair running through the district, and was the site of the occupation site and protest. the police tactics seem to be to advance a few meter, secure the road. removing obstacles. if they obstruct work, they were threatening to use minimal amounts of force. as they mo forward they push forward yellow towers carrying officers around with a pepper-type spray. last of the demonstrators, if they don't disperse they'll be used again. >> former chinese officials were

suspected of core ups and fled. and have been given until 1st of september to surrender. it's part of a drive known as operation fox hunt. 18,000 fled, taking with them a total of 129 billion. since the operation began, 288 have been brought back to face the law. they've been involved in embezzlement. >> the managing director at control risks, helping companies operating in host ail environments, this operation is you nooek. >> it goes to the legitimacy of the communist party when the government came into power. this became one of their major platforms, and operation fox hunt is one part of that. it's not the only part.

there has been a large crack done domestically in china on corrupt behaviour. >> they've also taken preventive measures in relation to chinese officialdom. to prevent the embezzlement and fleeing abroad that you described. with respect to the current operation. this is one prong. what is interesting and unique is that china solicited the cooperation of law enforce. in a number of countries in united states and australia. they managed to repatriate these individuals. that is the interesting and unique part of this operation. columbia's f.a.r.c. rebels freed two soldiers. a high ranking general and two

others have been held. we have this report from bogota. >> it's the first step to resume peace talks. f.a.r.c. rebels released the soldiers. the international red cross coordinated the operation. >> the soldiers were taken by an international-marked helicopter where they were handed to army representatives. >> talks were responded last week when three others were captured in the village. among them the highest ranking military taken by the rebels. factor leaders say they'll concentrate on effort to free them. >> we hope the government signs. we are honouring our side of things, we hope they do to. we hope the general will be back home. talks will in the start in the the hostages are free.

>> translation: this is an important step that demonstrates the level of maturity. these gestures of peace is what all demands. this strengthens the peace process. in a recent statement it was said that suspending talks destroyed trust in the process. it will restart the negotiations. >> i think every f.a.r.c. statement has to be read in several ways. the first way is the public posing, the opposite side of the negotiating table. another is to speak to armed forces, which obviously in many cases is skeptical of the process. he has to state a position of strength. i would like to think that this incident basically proves the willingness of both sides to continue with the negotiations. this incident was the result of the peace talks, while the conflict continues on the

ground. it rules out any possibility of a ceasefire, but military operations will be suspended in the area where the general is kept, to facilitate his release and bring to an end the biggest crisis in the two years long peace process. greece - authorities say a navy vessel is towing a crippled freighter with hundreds of migrants on board. it is working and is believed to be carrying syrians and afghans australian cricketer phil hughes remains in a critical condition in hospital. doctors say he'll have more medical tests on wednesday. he will undergo brain surgery after being hit on the head by a ball whilst batting during a game in sydney. >> reporter: initially it didn't

was able to receive immediately at the ground, and then to be transported to hospital and now we hope that whatever the procedure is, that he's going through, is - comes through in the right way. >> all our thoughts and prayers are with philip. obviously, as you said, quite a lot have played against him. it's a sad incident. figures crossed he can shot the same fight as he does through his career, and he can pull through. >> 25-year-old hughes is a well-known figure. last month he played for his national team. he is likely to play for australia next weekend. >> cricket is thought of as a gentile sport. the balls are hard and bowled at 100 k/hr. accidents like this are rare, but with batsmen wearing full gear, they can and do happen. >> and a reminder that there's

more news on the website. our top story, of course, the protests in ferguson, missouri. where, for a second night demonstrators took to the streets to protest the grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer in the case of the shooting of michael brown. stay with us. >> this is inside story. >> hello, i'm ray suarez. it was jolting watching the president talk to the nation about the decision of a grand jury in st. louis county that
