12:35 pm
. there's a reason for talking you need to either go ahead where you after you want to be or don't talk is really when i can speak to. and anyone there's no media contact they were told not right now that's what. we're doing. the state had promised a different approach. but the militarized response was back and no one could tell us why. meanwhile down the street the police continue to advancing on the protesters no going back to back the looting had stopped but it seemed like anger and distrust were growing once again started up. the 1st riots yeah. 43 it was a crime just pure emotion. by the way these she's doing this these kids now you want to. protest. during the protests on the
12:36 pm
streets of ferguson we've met ronald and solomon. they'd be now demonstrating every night since the shooting. there from northern st louis county an area that includes ferguson and is predominantly african-american. the anger and frustration of the police ran deep as they day just alcohol ration on date night she might you know my mom going to her do the previously have got some strikes and a black and male. 2 strikes all we had was miss the blanket and we stretched out in the middle of the street that's what people say yes 3 strikes you make a face at a cop strike 3 you're are you going to jail facility where it's not just the perception of unfair treatment they have no connection to him cordially in as police officers patrolling the area and enforcing the law all adult has proved his

12:38 pm
some of the highest paying jobs on the basis of living conditions go with it. among black males aged 16 to 24 know that. the unemployment rate has reached nearly 50 percent and come back to losing hope what we have to bank on after school i went to college got my medical history if i wanted to be in the medical field i found out i had a felony guess what happened i spent $20000.00 for nothing. i get my hands dirty war going on course not. because i'm a yoof ferial i go bag. one possibility. some are you angry hey oh yeah. so when people talk about. the anger that they they feel. it's more just about more in full swing it's that it's about it's about life in general you some people want to roll over and say we got older
12:39 pm
generation they just be like hey don't stop that hope he's like they still fly them we want the phantom crazy it was i don't know just be quiet just be quiet and i would i would have been a freedom of speech why is my modify what happened in. the ferguson police department declined all repeated requests for an interview this is big in my ground he says bigoted trayvon martin this is about making sure he doesn't have any a game i don't pacifiers for many i thought with a bone and they think i'm going to be able to get away with the with the guild auto maasai no easy stops issue no never happens. off the move in 2 weeks of protests on aug 25th the community of ferguson came together for a day of mourning as michael brown's family laid their son to rest. the
12:40 pm
family who danced for calm. but simply to symmetry a crowd of family members and friends watched as michael brown's coffin was buried . as the mourners went home michael brown's mother said her final goodbyes to her son . i know that that's got to be a proud but my crutch always had always got me a proper knight moment but you know what what you end up honest. young brothers who ain't got nothing on me right back and that's why they competed they are much
12:41 pm
better so that's of course they want to start a fight so it's hard for me. the day after the funeral in downtown st louis people gathered to announce the foundation of a new movement it's called hands up united states government well we'll let you know whether or execute the demonstrators here say they're going to march to the office of the u.s. attorney here in st louis and they're calling for an investigation a nationwide investigation of systematic police brutality. the u.s. department of justice later announced it was launching a broad civil rights investigation into the practices of the ferguson police department. separate from its investigation of the michael brown shooting.
12:42 pm
but for this group and the community they represent their underlying message is unlikely to change. their clothes for justice are bigger than just ferguson michael brown. wake up there about fighting to change a system they say is stacked against them from. what. ferguson says he on the same page from the fault line series finally has already won a return to ferguson to see what changed and how far the community had managed to move on award winning st louis filmmaker chris phillips lives just a few meters from where mike brown was shot has a unique perspective on the divisions that remain in ferguson today. i've lived in
12:43 pm
ferguson in excess of 13 years. you know this is basically this was home for me but in this part of town this is where all of your social public services are this is where your economic development is emphasizing this is predominately where or for the most part where most of your white residents stay. so as we go under this overpass here that's going to be pretty much we're going to approach this intersection of ferguson avenue and west florissant that's where the big standoff between the people and the police were. you know it was pretty much a peaceful protest people were standing on the ground you know sitting on the ground people had their hands up. and it was just you know it was just a standoff in v.n. as the evening progressed and i got around like 9 10 o'clock. that's when other activities kicked off. and that's the actual spot where the quake sure was and that
12:44 pm
got burned down so it's on the left here. but a lot of the business is that on this side of town. you know i haven't recovered or i haven't rebuilt since what happened in 2014. a don't 1st prove the prison name of a saint lucie bring to the national association for the advancement of colored people. you know there's been some improvement the. state legislature did and you know then you have to then you have to things like what the urban league is doing on a site where in the. things they don't want to deal with unemployment mail thing given the training and given the background you know those all improvement but then that a day is equivalent to a prison in the ocean trying to calm the flow. the racial make. them police
12:45 pm
department i mean the. stance and dramatically change well. most of the significant achievements we have achieved in this country as relates to civil rights advancement the vast majority i'm happy and you do legislate to do chords and so. the rule is that we get in the day that happened those could not have happened without the protest the willing to sacrifice themselves because they had a day the brutality they suffer and we took that of course and got favorable ruling somebody had to had to be on the receiving end in. you know when i look at where his body is right and my apartment was right around the corner here right so this spot in the pavement right here on this patch of payment this is where his body lay after he was shot 6 times this is where they said they had its hands up and they
12:46 pm
were for 4 and a half hours his body lead out and so he laid out here and cooked for that amount of time and so really a lot of the crowd presence to happen was not necessarily because somebody got shot of course people are here because of that but. being out here one hour 2 hours 3 and 3 hours and the body still adhere and for a portion of that time it wasn't even covered up is very horrific it's very shocking the images in the video started spreading towards social media and so when the police talk about their response as far as the crowd bills and how that happened they're responding to a crowd because you left the body here and for 4 and a half hours and what we know being here in missouri in a lot of other places across the country is this will not happen in white communities. well that's it from join us again next time and don't check out our rewind page at al-jazeera dot com for more films from the series but for now

12:50 pm
there that was pretty much the tenor of a 100 jemma days the tree speech after winning the guatemalan presidency the 4th attempt now that he seems to have arrived the problems are just about to begin remember he's only going to take up office in january but they're already piling up perhaps the biggest cloud on the horizon one left there by the man who's still in power jimmy morales and he signed a deal with the united states that basically means that any migrants passing through guatemala mostly they'll be from honduras and el salvador trying to get to the united states 1st have to ask for asylum in guatemala and that could mean if it's ratified by the guatemalan congress that tens of thousands of people are arriving in a country in which more than half the population already lives in poverty so that's going to be a big issue to contend with for
12:51 pm
a president who probably wasn't expecting this and he definitely won't want that deal although probably have to go through with it another couple of big issues for him would be crime that's number one on the minds of guatemalan voters according to recent polls and he's promised to have a hard time with security to bring back the death penalty and reduce the rights for gang members in guatemala in jail also creating jobs that's another big concern for guatemalans he said that what he's going to do is bring in tourism he's going to bring in a lot of foreign investment to the country he says that way is going to create what he calls an economic war he says that he's going to prevent guatemalans from having to migrate to the united states and to make sco simply by providing opportunities for them in their own country these are the plants and he'll be trying to implement them and changing many people's minds in the country this isn't
