agenda. i won't say that i'm mad at the people who are doing what they're doing, but it's their agenda. it's not what i asked for. so it doesn't have nothing to do with us. but yeah, everyone that is part of the protest, we appreciate that. we love them for that. >> john terrett has more on the unrest in ferguson. >> good evening. in the last couple of hours we've heard more from the governor and they will continue to monitor the situation over the holiday weekend to see if additional national guards are needed on top of those 1500. as you can see its snowing heavily in st. louis, but that did no doter 100 protesters in city hall. it was reported that they stormed the building. they did not see storming but they did see protesters shooting shame, shame.

out of the car and i was no longer trapped. but and i can tell you that it was like a five-year-old holding on to hulk hogan. >> a lot of people have support for officer wilson. they don't appear on television, but they are on the internet, and they have raise $400,000 for him which he may have to use for a defense fund in the furor you may have to use personally. >> john terrett for us. for many in ferguson life has not been the same sing michael brown was shot and killed back in august. the community is calling for change saying the status quo is no longer acceptable. diane estherbrook joins us live from missouri. what are protesters saying they want? >> well, tony, some of these protesters would still like to see darren wilson indicted. a lot of these protesters are college students. they say what happened over the sturm was a wake-up call to them in with regards to race relations here in the st. louis

area. after monday their passions about race relations are even more intense. [ protesting ] >> for people like marcus, protesting is the new normal. >> since august the 20-year-old has divided his time between college classes and protesting against michael brown's shooting. marching in downtown st. louis with about 200 other protesters, they call the grand jury decision not to indict ferguson police officer darren wilson another setback for race relations. >> all the protesting and people coming together. it's like a revival. so this is basically august all over ben. >> protests broke out within hours of brown's death 37 while the attention faded after a few weeks, the protests here never really stopped. some have turned violent since

the grand jury's decision monday. over 100 people have been arrested over the last two days. the violence is testing many over the holidays. some shoppers preparing for thanksgiving say they just want life to return to the way it was before august. >> i just want to go back to the way it was. it's a little rough. it's hard. everything that's happened. i understand that people are upset. people still live and work in ferguson, and i think they should respected that as well. >> nowhere in the near future. by next summer maybe. >> protesters think they don't want things to return to the way they were. >> i read about this in school. i never thought that i would be a part of this.

>> and there are expected to be more protests tonight, and some of these protesters say they intend to keep on protesting throughout the winter. >> diane estherbrook for us in ferguson. diane, thank you. protest and solidarity spread throughout the country in new york city last night. protesters blocked major streets and highways and the entrance to the lincoln tunnel. police arrested ten people. nearly 200 protesters were arrested in los angeles overnight. demonstrations grew tense when a group began throwing debris on a a freeway on a town area. protesters blocked inter sectionblock inter sections and staged sit ins. an after camping out for hours protesters left city hall and marched downtown. u.s. special forces rescued eight hostages and killed six militants after raiding an al-qaeda hide out. the u.s. has been engaging in

warfare for years now. unlike what we've seen in the fight against isil there are no images of what happened or any other u.s. operations. the hostages included six yeme yemenis. one saudi and one ethiopian initial. the department of defense says yemen's president asked for america's help with a rescue. it all went down near the border near saudi arabia. it is an junio area where drone strikes have been happening. human rights watch warn of war crimes there, and yemen's main pipeline was attacked. the valued resource is caught in the middle of the fight involving shia houthies, sunni

tribesmen, al-qaeda and military forces. >> this is the attack that targeted the main pipeline that links marib to the city where most of the oil and gas is exported to the international market. this is not the first time that disgruntled tribesmen attack oil, gas installations in marib that supply sanaa and neighbors areas with electricity. tribesmen have been independent. some questioning the legitimacy of the government. they say that despite the fact that they live in a very rich area most of the revenues end up in pockets of corrupt officials in sanaa and the government has never invested back in marib. building the infrastructure, or improving the living conditions of the local population.

marib is a delicate issue for the government for different reasons. al-qaeda has recently moved some of its fighters to that area. sunni tribesmen are amassing hundreds of fighters there. and the shia houthiy fighters have been moving towards marib. they say that the move is just to secure the oil and gas installations from being captured by al-qaeda, but people say that is just another attempt by the houthi to expand in different parts of the country. >> earlier i spoke with jim walsh, a research associate at the mit security studies program. they say that the government has one concern when it comes to yemen, and that is counter terrorism. >> al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula is based in yemen. the u.s. has focused on it for years. all other u.s. policy interests were to float down to the bottom and counter terrorism is the real are a driver here.

the objective similar to the objective we had is to use drones, special operation forces, classic counter terrorism tools to try to degrade those groups in yemen. >> we've got shia houthies in control of the capitol of sanaa. akqp fighting the forces. how complicated is this mission. >> it's extremely complicated and extremely sensitive. u.s. officials said if you want to know anything about this operation, ask the yemeni government. they're the one who is ran it with a wink and nod. there is a new president there. the old auto contract who was there for three decades was finally pushed out. but it inherited extremists, shia ethnic minority and tribes.

tribes cut off the oil. that's just the tribes acting independently to get leverage on a government they don't trust. we're trying to fight terrorism in the middle of what is a very complicated and difficult issue. we don't want to undermine the present saying we were the ones who ran the operation. presidents don't look strong if foreigners come in and fight the battles for them. >> sighting yemen as a success. at the end of the day that does not look inspiring. >> i would say that there is good news and bad news. the good news, the houthi are very good fighters, they hate al-qaeda, and they're going after al-qaeda. that's good news. the tough thing for us is that it would be best if there was a

central government that worked, that could bring everyone together in a power sharing arrangement. right now it's the guys with the guns who are calling the shots literally and figuratively, and that makes for a great government. >> israel today revoked the residency right of a widow of a palestinian man involved in last week's deadly synagogue attacks. the law allows people to rescind the rights of people and their families if they harm israelis. human rights groups are condemning the action. we have more from jerusalem. >> like all palestinians, nadia didn't have israeli citizenship, but she did have residency, that's been lost. it has entitled her to welfare benefits and whole host of payments and now she has to leave east jerusalem. it's likely she'll go to the palestinian west bishop. she lost her home. she's appealing the demolition

order of her home. a large committee of lawyers are campaigning against the measures imposed. there are more and more measures like these going into draft bills and parliament and intent on the path of israeli prime minister netanyahu to crackdown on any aspect of attacks against israelis and to punish those related to attackers. highly controversial because all human rights groups in the country and, indeed, internationally oppose these measures saying that it amounts to collective punishment. >> supreme court justice ruth bader ginsberg just came out of surgery. the 81-year-old ginsberg has been on the court since 1993. the east coast preparing for a white thanksgiving.

along with all kinds of travel delays. the weather, and what it is doing to the roads, the airports, that's all coming up. the gas prices are all way down. but it doesn't mean that americans are keeping extra money in their pockets. ali velshi for "real money" is up next.

>> today is traditionally one of the busiest travel days of the year. a nor'easter hitting the east coast is making matters really, really difficult right now. hundreds of flights have been canceled, and in and out of the northeast stranding passengers trying to get home for thanksgiving. thousands of more flights delayed. this comes, yeah, i agree. this comes during what is expected to be the busiest travel season since up. >> this year is definitely a lot busier. we're seeing 46 million people traveling by air and by car. by a tenth of those by air alo

alone. it's going to be busier and we're going to see cancellations. >> snow is starting to pile up making it a slow drive for everyone who is on the road. can we have a picture? i think we got a picture--that's better. that's the george washington bridge there in new york. just past what, 6:20 eastern standard time. it looked like--it looks okay. it looks okay. rebecca stevenson, i know these things more quickly. >> it's so fast that it's passed long island at this point. it's off the northern tip, and it will keep tracking up towards boston. this is where we get the gusting winds 30 to 35 mph wind gusts. and the area i of new york city it has now eased. this is because the further inland you move, the more snow starts to accumulate. as we look at that bridge, that

was the slippery whet roadway situation where we have that slushy sleek pile up in most places. where we have the radar where it breaks down, the pink indicating a rain-snow mix, and then it's just rain and it is heavy rain at times, too. along the coast line. now so far most all of our snow totals are further up in the hills. the poconos mountains really getting hit with the storm. some places up with a foot of snow. but those airports had .10 of snow. now accumulations have been inland of pennsylvania and new jersey. the current radar shot shows that this storm is moving up to the north. boston hitting the heavy rain with it. >> that's what the nor'easters do. the great lakes are icing over. you're looking at images from

last winter but you it is the earliest that ice has formed since the people who tracked these things started tracking them 40 years or so ago. ice usually starts forming in mid december. sweeping new moves by the obama administration to improve air quality. days before the court ordered deadline, rules to prevent smog-forming pollution linked to asthma and other health problems, libby casey joins us, what will these proposed regulations do? >> reporter: well, they go after ozone, tony. that's one of the six pollutants regulated under the clean air act. we're talking about smog. emissions from burning fossil fuels, power plants and factories. the federal government warns that it does not cost asthma, it can cause heart disease and premature death. the land time regulations were put in place were six years ago

back under george w. bush's presidency. now back then it was limited at 75 parts per billion of ozone emissions. the epa scientific advisory board said that it should be stricter. it should go deeper. the obama administration is following up these years later. they're likely to see it comes down to 65 or 70 parts per billion. now here are the county's across the country that will be the most impacted. they'll be given a significant amount of time to retrofit factories and try to get a cleaner burning technology in place. these are just proposals this this point. >> to see what this looks like, parts per billion. what has been the reaction in washington for the proposed rules. >> the significant thing about the part per billion.

it is coming down, but not nearly as much as environmentals want to see. they actually see that this should be reduced even more to 60 parts per billion. environmentalists say it should go deeper. the push back comes from industry. it comes from republicans, groups like the at the petroleum institute saying that pollution is improving across the country, so there is no need for regulations, and republicans already vowing to fight it. house speaker john boehner calling this the most expensive rule every proposed by the epa saying that it could slash family budget by $1,500 per year, reduce the gdp by trillions and cost our economy millions of jobs. now president obama thought about putting this rule in place a few years ago, but at the time voiced concerns about the economy himself. he was running for re-election at the time. but the epa says now is the right moment to try to get these

things through, and it certainly won't happen through congress, so they're going it on their own. >> michael: libby casey. good to see you, and happy thanksgiving to you. libby casey in washington for us. >> americans are saving money at the gas pump thanks to lower oil prices. many people are using those savings for groceries and other necessities. >> tony, one reason retailers are optimistic about the holiday shopping season is that americans have more money to spend. thank you lower gasoline prices. gas is at a four-rear low. the average price of gasoline across the country is $2.81 according t reports. consumers are hoping that extra cash will come their way, but they may not be saving as much money as you think.

it costs more to buy a gallon of milk than it does a gallon of gasoline. meat has been one of the leading drivers of high food costs. beef has jumped 23%. a big reason for that is low supply. the drought in california and texas means less beef and the demand has picked up as economy has improved. economists don't see beef prices dropping any time soon. the cost of food is expected to rise between two and a half and three and a half percent. the bottom line is that americans spend more on food than they do on gasoline. so analysts say that gas typically makes up 4% of a family budget. food is three times that at 15%. >> appreciate it. thank you. protest in ferguson in and around the country are bringing new attention to police shootings and the racial disparity of those involved. we'll take a look at the

numbers. also, the innovative program that sends dogs to prison.

>> it has been two days since the grad jury decided not to indict darren wilson. hundreds of demonstrators marched to city hall in st. louis: pretty emotional stuff after they staged their own mock trial of darren wilson. it sparked protest across the country, as you know, but the anger turned it's focus on broader issues of policing tactics in minority communities. police officers kill 400 people every year, and a disproportionate of them are young and black. >> a white south carolina policeman confronts and shoots an unarmed black motorist. that officer was charged with a felony and lost his job.

but in 2012, eight michigan officers, it appears they used unlawful deadly force. the police are vindicatedout usually facing trial. like the officer who killed michael brown in ferguson. >> can't legally, the question i asked mice was if i have to. if i don't he'll kill me if he gets to me. >> for many young black men in chicago the police are seen as the predators. >> our people are stopped. we're criminalized. we're targeted. we're invaded. we're jailed, and we are killed. >> the fbi reported that 400 fatal police shootings each year 18% of those killed were blacks aged 18 to 34. that was double the rate for whites in the same age group. while most of the officers involved were white,

of those killed by black policemen were also black. experts say those fatalities are just a slice of the grim realities for young blacks in america. >> one out of three black men between the ages of 18 and 30 is in jail, prison or probation or parole. in urban communities across this country, los angeles, philadelphia, baltimore, 56% of black men are in jail, in prison or parole. >> president barack obama has a goal of recruiting more blacks in police ranks. >> it becomes more, yes, that we have diversity in our police departments and in our community, but what is really important as well is that we have well-trained, well-qualified, well paid police officers, men and women, who feel supported. >> a mission to pursue for years

to come. tom ackerman, al jazeera, washington. >> let's take a deeper dive into these issues. dawn dadante barry. he is the organizer and director of a million hoodie's movement. what is the next phase of this movement as you see it. >> first we need to keep sustainable confrontational action. >> sustainable, confrontational action. what does that mean? >> sustainable. we can't let this fall off, rallies and mobilization that is happened after trayvon. you started to see folks really move out in the streets, but it wasn't sustainable. you didn't see this happening every single day. and we need to take the lead of the folks in ferguson, who have since day one in august have been protesting for over 100 days, sustainable showing up at

the police department's front door in ferguson, and confrontational, being in the face of power. this is about power. supremacy is about power. so how do we alter the power? >> white supremacy. >> it's the power relationships. that the system has over black and brown bodies. how do we alter that relationship? >> you think white supremacy is at work. >> white supremacy is at work. we need to have confrontation, and we need to be sustainable. we need to be creative and showing up and demonstrating that we have people power. >> linda, i didn't prepare it this way, but let me know when we've got any piece of sound from george stephanopoulos' interview with darren wilson. you saw the airing, right? >> bits. >> bits of it. >> why did michael brown, a kid heading to college, right? refuse to move from the middle of the streak at the request of

an officer. why would he course at the officer? why would he attack the police officers? questions i'm left with. what do you think about in the aftermath of that interview. >> so i didn't watch--i didn't watch a lot of it. >> you didn't want to watch it all. >> i didn't want to watch it. the only part that i saw was a report that he said that he would shoot michael brown again. >> we'll get to that in a second. >> i just like have no comment. >> he said he wouldn't change anything. >> he wouldn't change anything. you heard that before. the very same statements that george zimmerman made around trayvon martin, the same as the killers of emmet till. th >> why would michael brown dare a police officer to shoot him? why would he charge a police

officer? >> before he's going to college? >> why did he charge a police officer holding a gun? why would he put his hand in his waistband while charging even though he was unarmed. >> right. the mythical black person of this super heroic black person and the fear, right? >> stop right there. the fear. so here's--here's this whole hulk hogan description. have a listen. >> i reached out the window of my right hand to grab on his forearm because i wanted to move him back so i was no longer trapped. i felt the immense power that he had. it was like a five-year-old holding on to hulk hogan. >> there was another line about the expression on his face like a dee men. how long have been

african-american men been pushing back against that characterization. >> i'm 26 years old, and all my life and the folks before me, their lives. we've been doing this, the whole idea of black people being criminal, aggressive, agitators, violent, all these different things. we've been called all these different things. it's all the white supremacy. it's frustrating. it's really frustrating because we have to keep altering that narrative. we have to keep altering and finding alternative narratives and tell our stories in a more humanizing way. i think when we hear this name of a demon in comparison to michael brown, it just says that we're just already thugish, which i think is another name for calling the "n" word. >> body cameras, do you want them? >> i think it's a band aid. i think that--so oscar grant,

the killing of oscar grant and rodney king. they're on tape. >> right. >> but will that actually end up solving the biggest problem of killing unarmed black people or black people in general, no. i'm skeptical, and i think it's a crucial step to addressing a problem. but it's not a solution to the problem. i think it's also a--it can be used as a tactic particularly because of the war on drugs and the war on terrorism, and in spite of increased surveillance being used against us. >> that's interesting. >> having more folks--because people of color are criminalized and incarcerated, that will be used against. >> dante barry, director of a million hoodie's movement for

justice. hundreds of police in hong kong have cleared the main protest sites in the pro democracy movement. that movement may be taking a turn with two of its leading activists. >> for many protesters a rude awakening by bailists declaring this is the day they have to bail out or face arrest. student leaders have complained of excessive police force. >> i believe it will cause mother support of the umbrella movement. >> a few moments later joshua wong was under arrest again. pushing demonstrators back. >> it's the force of the police is too strong for us, and we have no weapons. >> the tactics of the police seems to be to advance and to

remove any tents that are there and arresting anybody who obstructs them. they're moving the demonstrators to a smaller and smaller area. >> the protest camp in mong kok has been the site of some of the worst protestation. there have been growing dissatisfaction after two months of occupying roads with no apparent success. >> is this the end of a movement? >> no, absolutely not. >> it will never be the end. it's only beginning. >> the occupation of other sites of hong kong island continues, but demands go unheeded. the yellow umbrella symbol looks increasingly battered. >> early clinical trials have shown a potentially ebola vaccine to be effective.

it's being tested as the national institute. participates received experimental doses. details about new drug trials will be decided early next year. let's look at other headlines. roxana saberi is here with that for us. >> tony, a federal judge in arkansas struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage, but don't expect the usual rush to city hall for marriage licenses. a scene repeated in other states. the judge put it on hold for the state to consider an appeal. arkansas voters approve the ban in 2004. in florida two teenagers are accused of running a prostitution ring out of their high school. 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl are charged with human trafficking. students say the pair tried to recruit girls to be part of the ring. the police reportedly said that one girl was cowere coerced to

having sex with a man. a fire that raced through home wednesday morning. the children who were killed ranged in age from 5 to 15. it's not often that puppies are found behind prison walls, but that's what makes a program in new mexico so unique. the new mexico correctional facility has become home to pregnant dogs and puppies that are abandoned. inmates are given a chance to care for them until the dogs are adopted. >> we're not worthless. we're doing something that is worth something. we're saving glyphs hundreds of dugsaving lives. >> hundreds of dogs have been placed in homes. the dogs are helping the women, and the women are helping the dogs. >> very good. the tech boom ha has caused

a huge der pacety between the wealthy and middle class. melissa chan has that report. >> andrew yee was born if san francisco, raised in san francisco and now serves san francisco as a firefighter. he almost got priced out of living in san francisco. >> i went to preschool all the way to high school here, and everything has changed since growing up. i think the tech boom has really driven the prices pretty high, and it's been pretty hard to rent in the city now let alone buy a house in san francisco. i think it's really unfortunate. you have teachers, police officers, sheriff, fire department, we want to be in the city that we work in. >> according to reports by the brookings institution, the gap between the rich and the poor is growing faster in san francisco than in any other major city in the country.

families in the bottom 20th percentile actually lie saw their salaries drop some $4,000 in the past five years. meanwhile, those at the 5th percentile saw their rise by $28,000. the median income here is $73,000. around how much yee makes. this group is discovering they can no longer find affordable places to rent or buy. with the cost of living sky high some city firefighters and first responders have been forced to move hours away, and that worries officials in this quake-prone city. >> so it's really a question of when the next one hits. and when the next one hits we want our first responders to be living in san francisco. >> reporter: city hall is now offering first responders like yee up to $100,000 in down payment assistance to purchase a home or apartment inside the city limits. launched last year the initial pool had enough money to help 10 applicants.

andrew yee is one of the lucky few who benefited from the program. >> i was getting outbid by 20% over the listing price, and a lot of them were cash offers, so i was just lucky to get a house in san francisco today. >> i just moved in about two months ago. i'm doing a lot of little projects here and there on my days off. it's a two-bedroom, one-bath. a small house up on the hill. >> the city recognizes it would have to significantly expand the program to have an impact. andrew yee would like to see the program grow so others could also have the opportunity to live in the city where they serve. melissa chan, al jazeera, san francisco. >> major companies in germany will sooning required t soon be required to have supervisory boards that are at least 30%

female. chancellor angela merkel announced the new law. the plan goes into fact in 2016. vents in ferguson have sparked protests nationwide, but will anything come out of the demonstrations? we'll discuss that next. and thousands of people forced from their homes preparing for a brutal winter in afghanistan.

>> the grand jury decision not to indict the officer who shot unarmed teenager michael brown caused protests. at least two businesses and several cars have broken windows. earlier i spoke with you reverend rafael warnock of the ebenezer baptist church. i asked if protests would effect

change. >> i think about the history of our country and the on going struggle for justice. we ought not let a crisis go to waste. rainbows often come after storms. that's the only time they show up, and it's difficult to imagine that now, but we have to recommit ourselves to the hard work of fighting for justice. and this work has never been easy. dr. king said that the arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice. we have to bend the ark, and moments likes these, as tragic as they are, we would regret not taking the opportunity to reassess who we are as america american citizens. the truth is that there are two distinctio distinct justice systems, one pore white people anfor white

people and one for black people. during dr. king's life we could not have imagined a criminal justice system with racial contradictions as deep and as pervasive and as what we're dealing with right now. it's actually worse now than then over the last 30 years america's prison industrial complex has mushroomed. african-americans are 13% of the nation's population and 50% of the prison population. we're focused on this issue of police brutality, but it must be seen within the wider context of america's prison industrial complex. this massive system of arresting young black men over the last 30 years has created a situation in which they are criminalized and stigmatized, seen as public enemy number one, and so sometimes they're shot and killed by police officers, and sometimes by night guardsmen in

a neighborhood posing as police officers. it's the same problem, and we got to deal with it. >> ebenezer baptis baptist church is holding it's own vigil for michael brown. thousands of pakistani people are taking refuge. they've been caught in the middle of a fight between the pakistani army and th. as the temperature drops, things are getting worse. we have reports now from kabul 123-4507 they stack mud bricks into thinks debt. they have little else to protect their family against the cold. close to the afghanistan-pakistan border. >> we're trying to protect otherwise. aid arrived today. we were told it it's not our turn yet. we'll have to wait. >> he's one of tens of thousands of pakistani refugee who fled fighting between the pakistani

military and the pakistan taliban. they had little choice but to cross the border in neighboring afghanistan. there is a risk of attacks by the afghan taliban here. as winter comes basic protection against the elements is also a serious concern. >> some people don't even have tents. we get 200-kilos of wood, but it's not enough for even ten days. this winter lasts at least three months. >> this is one of the schools in the camp. the roof and carpet. these young boys are being warned about another hidden danger in the surrounding countryside. landmines. when the snows come, finding and removing the explosive devices will be even more difficult. >> there are many anti-tank and anti-personnel mines in the area. we try to teach the rages about the risk. >> these are the fighters that pakistan military.

the months of failed peace efforts. the military launched an offensive in june. hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. the recent suicide talk which killed 60 people highlight security concerns among aid agencies. >> there have been a number of other bomb explosions going on in the area. it seems very clear that we have been able to continue the operations, that there is a very strong link between the communities and everybody in the area. we're trying to reach as many people as possible. >> the snows are expected here in the next few weeks. these people represent just a fraction of those who need help in afghanistan. >> the u.n. says that almost 7.5 million people in this country are in need, including those vulnerable to violence, food and security. more than 200,000 people have fled across the border since the
