♪ ♪. >> hello, i am lauren taylor, this is the news hour life from london apolitic the stories we are covering in detail. the shooting of two u.s. police officers in ferguson is condemned at a heinous crime as racial tensions explode again. four years of untold horror, with no end in site. aid agencies accuse the u.n. of failing to protect civilians. >> and provoked a cure.
2:01 pm
>> . >> the u.s. attorney general eric holder has called a shooting of two my as heinous assault, the attack happened at demonstrations took place following the resignation of ferguson police chief. he quit after a scathing report about racially based practices within local law enforcement the shots were heard. >> as we were about to pack our cameras up, we heard what we thought were fireworks. it was gunfire because we saw the plus soul fire from the gun. we all just kind of ducked down. >> one police officer was shot
2:02 pm
in the face. another, in the shoulder. it happened in the hours following the announcement that the police chief planned to resign. following a damming report, he became the 6th the usual to resign in the small mid western city, accused of systemic racism, his departure had long been called for that gained momentum after the fatal shooting of unarmied teenager last august. the believe that they targeted african-americans was vindicated last week by a department of justice report. the report found that the police and courts saw the african-american community as a way of making money for the municipality. millions of dollars are raised by targeting ticketing jailing and keeping members of the plaque community in what have been called modern debtors prisoners until they were able to pay multiplying fines.
2:03 pm
put the nationwide movement is about far more than ferguson. ow a it has become a nationwide rallying point. 600-kilometers north in madison wisconsin there have been daily protests since the killing of unarmed 19-year-old last friday. this highlight as problem and how the procedures have been carried out. >> protestors are demonstrating against an entire system they say is racist and unuh fair. the resignations have been welcomed by many. but ferguson is a tiny city and a change in it's personnel is unlocally to be enough to satisfy those that want greater equality and change. with the lateth, what have the police been saying beyond that? essentially two things what they have been say and doing. first of all what they have
2:04 pm
been doing most recently, we understand that two men and one woman were taken -- well, particularly interesting words, removed for questioning, not arrests not in custody but there were pictures that were being fed out this morning. of police on the roof of the house. and indeed we are et requesting some eyewitness accounts accounts from grandmother who was inside the house the house is completely trashed and the woman that was taken -- was removed for questioning, was actually at the demonstration when the shots were fired so we aren't sure what that is all about as always we shouldn't make too much of these things. it could be something it could be nothing. but beyond that, we have all been perplexed by the comments -- welcome to al jazeera america. we are looking for remarkable rise thought from eric holder about the story you just saw
2:05 pm
is that is the shooting of two police officers last night, let's listen to the attorney general's remarks. to hold these perpetrators fully accountable. my brother is a retired law enforcement officer. he automobiles tells me that cops have a right to come home at night. and is that's exactly right. these are people that protect us and keep us safe, and they have the right to come home at night. seeing this attack turned my stomach. because in the last weeks i thought we had begun to see important signs of progress. they were good faith steps. been taken within the city leadership to move in a new cooperative direction, i think is beneficial to law enforcement, and to community residents. but we still have a long way to go to bring about this
2:06 pm
systemic change that is needed. and that is long overdue in that area. the early indications have been positive. what happened last night was a pure ambush. what happened last night was a pure ambush. this was not something trying to bring healing. this was a punk, who was trying to sow discord in the area, trying to get it's act together and bring together a community that has been raptures for too long. this really disgusting and cowardly attack might have been intended to unravel any sense of progress but i hope that does not in fact happen. incidents like the one we witnessed throw into conversations like the one we have convened today and the
2:07 pm
commutes they serve, are so important. a year ago the obama administration launched groundbreaking my brother's keeper initiative which seeks to create opportunities for young people, to improve their lives and to reach their full potential. jerard is the guy that the president talked about in my going away party, and he described him as a future attorney general of the united states and also cracked about his disqualifying hair cut i think the hair looks just fine. his monal is here with us as well. and she was responsible i think for the reduction in jerard's hair. but as part of this effort, my brother's keeper task force launch add program to help resolve long standing tensions between law enforcement officers and the community they they serve.
2:08 pm
i was proud to announce the national initiative for building trust this is a nationwide program that is designed to reduce bias, and to support reconciliation. through the committed work of department leaders like my good friend, assistant attorney general who is here with us today. who i am going to miss a great deal, along with the partnership of other components the community relations service, and the office of violence against women. we are redoubling our commitment, wherever that faith has been eroded. today i am announcing three significant new steps i am taking as part of this exciting initiative. first, we have selected six cities to serve as pilot sites. in birmingham, alabama in stockton california, in gary
2:09 pm
indiana. these will stand on the leading edge of our effort to confront pressing issues really across the country. second we have launch add new on line resource that's trust and justice.org. which will advance cutting cuttingening research, and information about best practices and trust building, and third, we are offing training mentors consultation, and reconciliation, detectively to police departments and communities across america through the office of justice programs diagnostic center. the department of justice will not be able to accomplish
2:10 pm
these goals alone. we will continue to work side by side with law enforcement to identify opportunities for change. seek avenues for building more healthy environments. from my own decades long career in law enforcement, i know that the overwhelming majority of america's brave men and women in public safety do their jobs with integrity and they do so at great personal risk. i have enormous respect for the vital role they all play in america's communities and sacrifices that they and their families are too often called on to make on behalf of the country that we all love. the dangers they face have been made clear recently. not only with the attacks that we experienced last night and i talked about it at the beginning but also with the chilling killing of robert wilson the third and with the tragic death of deputy of united states marshal josue wells in baton rouge louisiana. earlier this week.
2:11 pm
these devastating incidents serve as a reend moither our law enforcement officers perform a job that is extremely serious that is deeply heroic, and that is deserving of our most emphatic support. i am committed that the reforms we put the place do not impose additional risks on our law enforcement in an already had douse environment. there should be no situation to which an officer's life is put in jeopardy because of concerns that by appropriately defending themselves they might be viewed as committing a crime. i simply is not something that i am going to allow to happen and that is why the sense proven, evidence based collaborative measureses that protect our citizens, strengthen our neighborhoods and keep our officers safe. there is not necessarily a tension between all of those
2:12 pm
things. we can do all those things at the same time. now i recognize our goals will not be easy to achieve. change will not occur overnight. but in conversations just like this one. relatively not by our divisions gunshot by our common interest in creating a more just society. that all-americans deserve. i know we are understaking work that will have a lasting difference for generations to come, i am glad to have these young people with us today these representatives of law enforcement, as we begin the conversation here that we have been doing around the country to try to make our country better, more just, and to keep our law enforcement personnel as safe as we possibly can. so thank you all very much. attorney general at a
2:13 pm
discussion that had already been scheduled in which he was talking to community leaders and activists and police departments about how the justice department can facilitate better relations between the police and the people that live there he outline add number of steps and you also heard at the top where he talks about the shooting last night in ferguson missouri of two police officers one was shot in the face, another was shot in the shoulder. both have now been released from the hospital, this came amido as protest at the ferguson police department, there have been some questions there have been some detectives who have been questioning potential suspects in that, but eric holder's reaction to the shooting last night, as he safes this was a pure ambush, and he said it is described as some punk trying to sow discoured in the midst of what happened in ferguson, let's bring in legal contributor, first of all your reaction to what the attorney general said. >> as you say this was a
2:14 pm
previously scheduled event. he was going to address police officer safety, but i thought he folded in the overnight events and unfolding events in ferguson very very nicely, he always references. familiesly ebb member whose are in law enforcement, i think he feels that quite deeply and i could what are emotion as he talks about what happened to the officers in ferguson. there's a statement a full statement from the attorney general on the d.o.j. website. and he there calls this a heinous assault on two brave law enforcement officials. so i think he reiterated that here, even though this event was already scheduled and was to be about something related but something relatively a public relations event, for law enforcement, and this is tough for the department of justice, because the department of justice is a law enforcement division. of the united states government and yet it has
2:15 pm
come down very lard on law enforcement in ferguson. so now we have really polarized community, and then the larger community of ferguson, that d.o.j. has to man move. >> you were just pointing out to me, the reports that police are now questioning three people in relationship with the shooting last night how important will it be in terms of getting the community back to this dialog with police and the justice department, over how to fix ferguson, to make arrests and be able to separate out those people from the rest of the community. >> i think the shooting is a tremendous step back. for both justice and anyone in ferguson who wants to see that community go forward. and i think the attorney general just referenced that, using the language punk, calling whoever did this a punk suggesting that the people who are responsible personal or people, who are responsible for the shooting are not part of the larger community of peaceful protestors as had originally been suggests and certainly not part of the law enforcement community that mite want to see this go forward in a peaceful and
2:16 pm
progressive way. and the department of justice has more optioned, they can work with law enforcement, in ferguson to try and manipulate the department into progressive change in ferguson. or on the very other end of that spectrum, dismantle the department entirely, and very reluctantty, eric holder when asked directly about whether that would be an option for the department of justice he said, well if we have to go that far we will use any tools and if that means dismantling the department we will do that. let me say under this attorney general alone there have been won't police departments that have had to work across the country with the department of justice. start all over or work at some lesser rigorous way to reevaluate themselves cincinnati comes immediately to mind.
2:17 pm
>> the incident last night and here in fact, this is right outside the ferguson city police department, there were some protestors and apparently down the street, is where the shots rang out again, injurying two police officers, i mean -- what would you imagine this sort of injects into ferguson at this time when we have both protestors and police who are fearful for their lives and that somebody is trying to take advantage. >> here is the thing, this is the conversation. i discussed this earlier, this is a conversation that we have been having in this country for at least 50 years and one can argue 250 years. this conversation about slavery, the legacy of slavery, jim crow, and then the tension between law enforcement as an amount of jim crow, and we know michelle alexandar has written her brilliant book at the new jim crow, and incarceration, and
2:18 pm
of course, in ferguson d.o.j. has now said that we are talking about using law enforcement not to protect and serve the community but as an arm of incarceration, but really as a revenue generation, so that's all wrong and backwards and so we have been having this conversation for at least 50 years. think about it it came out coincidentally on the anniversary of the bloody sunday history march, selma, the weekend we began three marchs from selma to montgomery and the whole trajectory you would think would have moved so much faster so people are frustrated and angry. and the need is to be vigilant not violent as dr. king would have said. but that is why we see eruptions like this.
2:19 pm
you and i can sit here together, and we are relatively young, and remember the incidents that have happened in our lifetime, so a conversation has to be had so that we don't tend toward violence and we toward vigilant and progressive change which i think is what eric holder was trying to say. >> as part of the effort, that he and others are doing to soothe the tensions to try to keep things calm in ferguson, there was a statement that came out from the parents of michael brown jr., related to the shooting and it says the family condemns the senseless shooting we reject any kind of violence towards members of law enforcement, it will not be tolerated we specifically denounce the actions of stand alone agitators who try to derail the otherwise peaceful and nonviolent movement. and to forward the cause of equality for all. we must work together to bring peace to our communities our thoughts and prayers remain with the officers injured this morning. how significant it for the
2:20 pm
michael brown family. >> it is critically significant. and especially when we know that the step father was very emotional after the aftermath of the noninindictment, and certainly understandably so, so i think whenever the family becomes involved it is helpful. sometimes you are thrust into a leadership position, when it is most painful and more difficult for you, and you are called to leadership as these families are when they are not predisposed to it. and they acted in a dignified fashion in recent weeks. but i want to say one other thing, now we have the leaders in ferguson calling for the resignation of the mayor understandably so, we have had all of these officials in ferguson now stepping down. >> i count six total. if people would take up -- look back to selma, a mark for the right to vote. let's vote. let's get out there and vote. and you would have judges who
2:21 pm
would not penalize us when we are not mowing our lawns or walking -- do you know they have a citation there for manner of walking. it is called manner of walking and that's a citation you can get, and then if you don't show up, and answer to that, you get fined again and again, and again. and that is how the system works in ferguson until d.o.j. showed up, so if we would have -- so the judges are accomplice sit with law enforcement, it's and parcel of the system. if we would elect judges, and we would elect a mayor and i am not condemning this particular mayor, he is a very young man by the way the young nest the state of missouri's history. but voting in advance rather than reaction player push out of a system that is in place to oppress you, is a good way to effect change. that is what the march in selma was all about. >> by the way in case you
2:22 pm
just joined us the news in this hour, the wake of the shootings last night of two police officers both have been released from the hospital, attorney general said within the past 20n't manies that this was a shooting that turned my stomach he describes it as pure ambush that were instead punked trying to sow discoured. this came at an event that holder had previously scheduled to talk about building better community trust, between police, law enforcement, and tock community, but again, two officers shot last night in ferguson, tenses there still very high. we will return you now to al jazeera english programming thank you for watching, along with our legal analyst jamie floyd, and again back to al jazeera english after this. amnesty international says more than 150 death sentences have been handing down. and most of those have been

2:24 pm
about two-kilometers from here, where they will face a firing squad. he is putting the final touches to one. last year he buried more than 15 executed prisoners. >> i feel a lot of sadness. it is not nice seeing human beings get executed right in front of you and then having to bury them. we don't like to do this job but we have to because we have no other way of supporting our families. with great sadness we bury them. >> human rights groups have questioned the justice system. accusing authorities of carrying out quick executions. somali leaders deny this. a process we follow, if they don't agree with the outcome they are allowed to appeal, if they are not satisfied with the appeals court, they can take it to the high court, the

government's income. >> i must try my best to increase the production. and then, increase production, i will even be selling a give away prices. we the -- in the way is a lot of the revenue rights of the resources. >> the fall in global oil prices has made it worse for south sudan. the country is said to be selling crude to china because of it's lower quality a barrel of crude oil is now selling a roughly $45 more than half of that is payed to the government for transport refinery, and a development compensation agreed on when the two countries took most of the oil fields and after they payed the oil companies here, the government remains with less than $10.
2:27 pm
some analysts are worries that the economic situation here, will get much worse before it gets better. the him collapse is real unless we take drastic measures and that is very soon. it should have been yesterday not tomorrow. >> industry including this water bottling company are having a hard time dealing with the overhead. south sudan imports almost everything including refined fuel, most of it for generators used to power the country. and with losses from it's oil revenue, foreign currency crucial for import is gas. many people here are afraid that south sudan's economy will continue to get worse

2:33 pm
agree on a way forward. complicated, and violence can spread. that's why the negotiation. which so to facilitate a progress that will lead to an agreement on how to put back on track the transition that is now in disarray. >> obviously countries of the region are worries about the situation, very good reasons to be worried the security council. peace and security in the world, is also worried about the situation, and that's why yemen is on the agenda. the situation can get out of hand. and if there is no agreement the prospects are very bleak. the combination of scenario, libya and iraq. it is a horrible scenario, and
2:34 pm
that's why everybody is aware that every effort should be made to promote a peaceful way forward. peace talks are continuing despite demonstrations against the u.n. brokers peace plan. protests continue rebel groups are meeting in the northeast to decide whether to accept or reject a peace agreement. the deal was proposed during government talks in algeria last week. after a factory collapsed in bangladesh. at least four people were killed in the collapse. southwest of the capitol. it is run by a subsidiary of the army, how people have been taken to hospital scientists believe they found a in uh way of treating alzheimerss disease without drugs. almost 50 million people live with alzheimerss who causing severe memory loss there is no
2:35 pm
cure although medication can slow the progression. people have what is call add build up of black in their brain researchers at the university have treated this mack in mice, using ultrasound waves. they say the sek near completely cleared which then performed better in memory tests. >> joining me live, the chief executive of the charity outsides u.k. thank you for being with us. they say it has been tested on mice so far. with are excited every time there's a bit of research that shows possible hope. with little prospect yet on really finding a cure. this is early stage research that we arer haing about from australia, it is only been done on mice, it is a
2:36 pm
relatively small study we are very hopeful with more investment and in doubled efforts we will be able to build on some of these early studies and find the answers in the years to comment. >> is there still some debate whether the plaque is a cause or a symptom of alzheimers? does that effect the significance of this research. >> well, it's as best we know, it is one of the key causes of the alzheimerss disease but as you say there's actually two little research into the basic science to be absolutely sure. i suspect, you know, in the years to come, we won't talk about alzheimerss disease as one disease, as we learn more, we will find out there's many different types and they can all be treated in slightly different ways. so that hope is we will find little by little. to offer new prospects of cure, or prevention in years to come. >> is news of such early stage results actually giving people
2:37 pm
false hope that cures are in the offing oever that things can improve quickly. >> i think it is easy to give too much hope too early. maybe ten or 15 years before even this study can come to make a difference with the lives of people living with the disease today. so yes, it is important to have hope, but what is also important, is to give better support to people living with alzheimerss disease today. too many people don't even get a diagnosis and too many people feel embarrassed. there's too much stigma that those that talk about alzheimers, they are hidden away, they are lonely, forgotten and they suffer in silence. >> thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us, we appreciate it. >> tied at the age of 66 after being diagnosed with

2:39 pm
those people are still trapped inside the authorities are saying that 40 people are trapped inside and they may still be alive. so that nighttime rescue operation by naval, and cost guard is still continuing. >> so you mentioned some of the equipment they have there how big an operation is and do they need more help? >> from looking at what we have from our source, what we had, is they have reasonably good -- and other stuff but it is never adequate considering this is quite a remote area, near the channel it is the second largest with other facilities available and there are also a lot of volunteer whose are already there. but probably the nighttime operations and also not having the expertise to actually rescue people from this kind
2:40 pm
of only the military can do that. they still have to see but considering the number of people that will working there, and the number of casualties could go up. there's been a bad record for building safety, hasn't there? tell us more about the history of that there. >> absolutely, just in 2013, february, one of the biggest industrial accidents took place. over 1,000 people died since then there have been several accidents. just certain people died in a plastic factory fire, the government has been under intense pressure locally and internationally to improve the situation here. because of international pressure especially the textile sector, but it is still nod at wait, because there has been continuous

2:43 pm
today, it's cargo is worth about a third of that. >> for now, it is a much quieter town, new construction projects near but have been canceled just as others reach completion. fewer people than build it. >> very very good. all the carriers in our fleets are still working. >> the volume is higher than ever, but where prices low mining industry profits are down, and so revenues to government. when much of the world went into recession five years ago mining helped australia avoided it. but the boom days are over
