twitter. hello. you're watching "gmt" on bbc world news. i'm lucy hockings. our top stories. another night of violent clashes in st. louis. police officers come under heavy gunfire. the authorities say criminals have infiltrated the crowds and blamed them for the violence. the fight back against islamic state militants continues in iraq. government troops launch a major operation to retake the city of tikrit. we look at the role of western troops on the ground there. the son of jackie chen is

arrested in beijing for possession of marijuana. he's the latest celebrity to be in china's crack down of drugs. aaron is here. what were you doing august 24, 2004? >> i was right here on the bbc talking about the day google went public and entered the stock market. then it was just a search engine. boy, how a he can deck cade has changed that. look at the next ten years for the mighty google. it's midday here in london, 7:00 a.m. washington 6:00 a.m. missouri where the officer in charge of operations in ferguson say criminals have infiltrated the crowd of protest hers and

are intent on violence. police used tear gas and smoke canisters to undue the unrest. at a news conference, ron johnson said some of those arrested overnight were from as far as new york and california. he depended officers saying they had come under heavy gunfire and been attack aed with rocks and bottles but haven't afired a single bullet. >> we can't have that. we do not want any citizen hurt. we don't want any officer hurt. when you're shooting in an apartment complex and children are laying in the bed in the apartment complex and bullets are flying through the air. the old saying on the streets, a bullet has no name. >> t ron johnson there.

our correspondent is in ferguson. >> reporter: it's been another night of violent clashes here in fergus ferguson, missouri. last night the national guard was deployed here to help police restore calm after more than a week of protests here. there were armored vehicles on the streets and troops deployed. that didn't seem to make much of a difference. police say 31 people were arrest ed during the course of last night's prothe test including some as far as new york and california. it seems to suggest protests are part of a wider organized network across the country. what police are telling us is that officers were shot at and fired at. also had bottles and rocks thrown at them. they were subject to quite a lot of violence during the course of the evening. they say they didn't fire a single bullet.

protests said they had completely protests completely broken up, tear gas thrown in the crowd. they said they were moved on for no reason and they were denied rights to peacefully protest. the question now is, how will the next night of protests unfold? police are urging people to protest during the day, not during the evening when they believe the violence elements are able to come out under the cover of darkness. they're also talking about the possibility of having a designated protest zone. it's unlikely that someone that wants to make violence will go to the area. the protests are getting in the way of people that want to make their voices heard in a non violent way. >> we looked at how americans view what is happening in

missouri. it's often divided along racial and political lines.

to iraq now where forces there are battling islamic state militants for control of tikrit, 160 kilometers north of baghdad. operations started this morning. government forces have been slowed by roadside bombs and sunshiner fire. this comes as kurdish and iraqi forces regain control of the mosul dam. that's a step that president obama has hailed as a major step forward in the fight against the islamic state. let's take a look at the group formally known as isis. islamic state was previously al qaeda in iraq, a jihadist resistance to the u.s. led occupation. driven out by local drives that

sought refuge. now it's spread further into the capital city. in june this year, force pulled back to iraq taking town after town. chris is a former british army captain currently a security consultant joining me from london. john is visiting as well. let's talk about i.s. as we call them now and how much control they have in both of these countri countries. if i can start with you charles, off overlook what's happening in syria because we're focussing on iraq. there has been talk of militants close to taking aleppo. is that still the situation or are they driven back? >> at the moment that's still ongoing with the advance north of the city. so far their focus is more in the northern country side rather than the i city. the country side is more

strategically valuable for them and the opposition who currently control it and who look at this point likely to lose control of larger amounts of this country side in coming days and weeks. >> you have both opposition and president assad forces fighting at the moment? >> absolutely. that's one of the new things we've seen in the last week or two, the government and the syrian air force particularly, has gun launching more intensified operations against the islamic state. particularly in the northern aleppo country side where they're currently advancing and also in their capital. so far, that has been as i say a relatively interesting new development. >> now we're seeing what looks to be the battle to take back tikrit. we're waiting to hear more on that from iraq. could you explain what the involvement of western troops is at the moment?

>> it's pretty minimal particularly compared to what some have been calling for. the problem with the u.s. which is the only western forces that can get involved in iraq is that it has a moral duty to do something in iraq. you can make a strong case for that. it needs to get involved to support the government in baghdad. it's trying not to allow vacuums to appear that will allow russians or iranians to get more control than they already have. against that a, they have to balance this with the wish that there's enough pressure on governments in baghdad to make political changes. at the same time, while they need support of government in the north and krg, at the same time, they don't want to give them too many weapons because that will strengthen their position against baghdad. the american government are in a

difficult precarious position trying to decide how much support they give to dismantle and destroy the islamic states while at the same time not giving much to the north or not making baghdad too easy for government there. >> we hear about hundreds of specialist advisors there. what exactly does an american special advisor do on the ground? >> they'll be doing several things. the first thing is assessing the need. they'll look at the peshmerga, identify what are immediate requirements. when they talk about we need weapons, what weapons do you need? what can you actually use? what training can we give you to allow you to use those systems. they'll look at the command structure and talk to generals and officers in the army and looking at what plans they're doing and maybe trying to help them shape their plans in more

of an effect ways. they'll look at logistics. how can we move man made material and money to the front line as quick as possible. and of course special troops moving forward, trying to identify what assets the islamic states have on their front line, and also calling in air strikes which we've seen ramp up over the last couple days. >> if we can look at assets that i.s. has, how much do we know about what military hardware they've got, even how many numbers of militant fighters they've got as well? >> it's a sensitive topic. the main source of the investigation has been what the islamic state releases on social media. what's been interesting, in the last four to five days, twitter with the instruction from the government in washington d.c., it has been removing all islamic state media on social media.

nonetheless, in terms of numbers, i would estimate the islamic state commands 6,000 to 8,000 in syria. 10,000 to 12,000 in iraq. those numbers have been bolstered recently as a result of taking territory in which individuals have been forced or have offered to pledge allegiance to the islamic state. then militarily in terms of weaponry, the islamic state is extremely well armed, particularly now in syria more so than iraq actually with very wide range of heavy weaponry, tanks, armored vehicles, long range artillery and down to your typical insurgent weaponry, small arms and weapons. >> we hear absolutely brutal stories from syria particularly of i.s. militants going to villages and slaughtering entire tribes. are they getting new followers in that part of syria mostly through fear?

>> probably, yes. i i mean, fear and brutality have long been a tactic used by the islamic state to induce allegiance or induce submission. in many respects in many areas of syria, that has been successful. in iraq, dating back years, there has been a long term strategy of intimidation on the local level and underground which has led to their success today. particularly in the city of mosul where they had left an extensive intimidation campaign. since at least 2000. likewise, this brutality, much as hard as it is for us to understand does lead to recruitment on their side. >> thank you both very much for joining us with further analysis about the strengths of i.s., iraq and syria. let's bring you up to date with other news. three african doctors receiving the ebola drugs are showing

remarkable signs of improvement. that's according to the liberia information minister. meanwhile, ebola patients that fled the quarantine center over the weekend have now been found. palestinian and israeli noer negotiators have resumed talks in cairo. it follows the previous five day ceasefire to allow more time for negotiations. the blockade of gaza and palestinian demands for a sea port and airport in gaza are among the talks. a new study suggests the number of aftricafrica's elephas declined. nearly 35,000 elephants are killed for their ivory each year. if the rate of poaching does not slow down, the species could be wiped out in a century. conservationists are calling for tougher penalties for poachi ii

ivory products in asia. the son of jackie chen has been charged with drug charges. chinese police say jc tested positive for marijuana and it was also found in his home. >> china state tv have the son of one of the world's most famous actors. jackie chen's son seen on the right shows police officers with bags of drugs stashed at his beijing home. he now faces up to three years in prison. it's a huge embarrass for his father who's action films brought him international fame. in a different role, he starred in a government campaign warning about the dangers of drugs. his son was arrested along with the actor shown here making a

public apology. >> translator: i really regret it. i'm sorry to those that support me. i've set the worst example and been the worst influence. >> these are just the latest arrests in the ongoing down on drugs. china's press warned drug use must be wiped out. officials deny targeting celebrities but by a arresting jackie chen's son it sends a sign that drugs will not be tolerated. do stay with us here on bbc world news. still to come. we join the search for the heaviest bell in the world? loss in myanmar more than 400 years ago. company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it.

. the army says there are battles on the streets of

luhansk, a separatist strong hold in the country's east. fighting elsewhere has stopped the search operation as a sign of yesterday's attack on a convoy of refugees. authorities say 15 bodies have been found. we've received pictures we believe are from luhansk filmed yesterday before the latest reported fighting began. as you can see from these pictures, absolutely nobody out on the streets. eerie quiet on main roads there in lieu happe luhansk. let's take you to david stern now. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: we can't tell exactly what's happening in luhansk right now. no independent conversation of the fighting in the center of the city. we do know fighting has been in and around luhansk quite intense in the last days. the government has said they

managed to take over the police station rebels were holding. if it's true the fighting is street battles in the city, it raises the question of humanitarian of the situation with the civilians. there's a humanitarian crisis ongoing there around 250,000 people are said to remain in lieu -- luhansk. they're without electricity, water, growing short on food and medicines. it's a situation that's caused a great deal of concern. people say they go out on the streets in the early morning hours in order to avoid shelling and fighting that takes place later. as this continues, as the street battles are said to continue, people are going to watch closely on what the humanitarian situation is. if the government takes the city, it will be a major victory because as you said luhansk is a rebel strong hold. >> david, people are fleeing the city as well. we spoke at this time yesterday

when we were getting these reports of the refugee convoy that came under attack. we hear 15 are killed. there's a search for more has been halted because of fighting. has it become clear in the last 24 hours exactly what happened? >> no, it hasn't. we're still on pretty much what the government is telling us. the government said dozens were killed and many injured. mow they've managed to recover 15 bodies but have had to halt the work because of the fighting within the region. this took place just outside of luhansk in the south eastern area in the area that leads up to the russian border. obviously this is of great concern. if there are attacks, if in fact there was a morter and attack, the government is accusing the

rebels of having done this. the rebels deny it. >> david, thanks so much for the update from kiev. as we hear more with that convoy of refugees, we'll bring you up to date. pope francis lifted a ban on the late bishop of el salvador. he was shot dead in 1980. the archbishop was a outspoken crit critic. for many years the catholic church blocked the process saying his ideas were not what they wanted. you would think it would be difficult to lose a bell weighing nearly 300 tons, but the bell has been missing over 400 years, ever since it fell in a river. at least that's the story. we have joined the latest mission to find it.

>> reporter: the crowds have gathered to watch this latest attempt to find the biggest bell the world has ever seen. cast in the 15th century and weighing nearly 300 tons, the bell once stood here along side myanmar's most important buddha. six times larger than this one, legend has it it was seizeed in 1608 and put on a raft that sank sending the vast lump of copper, gold, silver to the river floor. the fate of the bell is one of the great mysteries. there's countless efforts in the past to try and find it. so far, no one has even managed to prove that it's down there. many believe the search is curse canned. at the launch of the latest attempt, the team leader said super natural forces from the

buddhist spirit world was stopping the bell from being discovered. >> if we just rely on modern technology we'll face more problems. we must take this bell from the one that's got it. we need to use traditional ways so that the spirits does not keep hold of the bell. >> we watched as work got underway. a team of divers a equipped with masks lowered themselves into the fast moving water. there was no sign of metal detectors or sonar being used. just a monk issuing orders from the top of a boat. let me just give you a little sense of how difficult it is for these divers searching with the naked eye in this river. you can hardly see anything. >> you're saying they may be looking this entirely the wrong place. the rivers have changed course.

>> for many like historians, this latest search is an embarrassment and waste of the public's good will and money. having watched numerous teams both high and low tech fail, he's starting to think the unthinkable. maybe there is no bell. >> i really hope the bell is real. it would make me so proud of our country. if we look at the three main history books written 200 years after the bell sank, none of them mentioned it. >> this team will keep diving another two weeks. sthef no doubt somewhere in the mud is is the holy grail. >> it would be amazing if they were successful. coming up in the next half hour on "gmt," it was 11 years ago today baghdad's u.n. headquarters was attacked.

hello. welcome to "gmt" on bbc world news. i'm lucy hockings. in this half hour, the dangers facing the world's aid workers. the must be of workers killed, kidnapped and seriously wounded reaches a new high. what more can be done to protect them? aaron is looking at the big buy by the chinese. >> the chinese are coming and want to buy your house. the country's wealthiest are on the move. the u.s. is their preferred destination. property is their investment choice. we're going look at how the

chinese are snapping up high end homes from california to new york city. welcome back to "gmt." from syria to south sudan, delivering humanitarian aid to people caught up in conflict is becoming dangerous. attacks on aid workers has reached an all time high according to figures to coincide with world humanitarian day. 155 were killed in 2013. 171 were seriously injured. 134 were kidnapped. already this year, 79 aid workers around the world have lost their lives. in the past few minutes we have been hearing from the united nations who announced a major aid operation to help more than half a million people in

northern iraq. this could be one of the largest aid operations in recent time. what's dangers for aid workers in northern iraq and other parts of the world facing at the moment? with me in the studio, the director of north syria and turkey operations. the author of aid in danger, peril and promise of humanitarianism. if i could start with you, why is more dangerous to become an aid worker? there's always been conflict in the world and aid offered to people in conflict zones. >> a couple of reasons. aid agencies are pressured to stay in more dangerous environments. that means that a they're staying, operating this places of intense violence. that's one change. the other thing is we have better reporting of incidents. there's more attention to this topic. also there's a lot more aid

workers than there was 10 to 15 years ago. you have a lot more attacks but also have more aid workers. >> are your workers scared in the areas where they work? >> i think everyone who's sensible who works in conflict has a reasonable level of fear at back of their mind. >> is that a healthy thing is this. >> it's a healthy thing. i think absolutely the recognition that humanitarianism responding to people's needs in conflict and dangerous situations, it's not an easy option. it's not a soft option. it's something we're aware of, and it's a challenge we take on. >> is there an issue now it's the only option in many cases because governments aren't stepping in. they're leaving it to aid agencies to do this work? >> i guess two separate things. we very often hear politicians

say no, we're not going to put boots on the ground or not going to do this or that. the talks have come to an iend. the humanitarian response is not a solution. we try to keep people alive. that's not involving the problem. >> we do see this pressure to protect aid workers obviously. does it lead to impression you've got aid workers being kept safe in a dated compound perhaps and not actually therefore able to access people they're there to help? >> yeah, and that's one of the critiques i make in my book. kind of post 2003 with the baghdad bombing, there was an increasing fortification of aid workers where they are behind big walls, barbed wire fences. that's led to a separation between aid workers and the people they're trying to help. >> does that actually work?

do you think it keeps them sa safer? >> it's tough to say. it doesn't work in all concepts and doesn't respond to what they face. everyday obstructions, denial of access to populations in need, you know getting stopped at a check point or a protest at a food distribution. it doesn't really result in any death or fatalities, but it still makes the delivery of aid more difficult. >> how do you actually do that? if you've got workers in syria trying to reach people and come across the check point run at the moment by either the government, opposition or by islamic state militants, what process do your workers go through in negotiating? >> the first thing to understand is what we mean when we talk about aid workers. very often when we talk about this in the uk, we think of british aid workers.

if i look at the program we're running in north syria, we have over 200 staff working syria everyday. they're syrians and aid workers. >> is it true 90% tend to be local? >> yes, of course. they know the context best. that's how we avoid this situation. sometimes there's a real need for international staff to be involved in specific instances and to do training to initially set up programs et cetera. the most important thing is planning and understanding that working in conflict is in itself a skill and it's not something you can learn overnight. >> can i come back to the original question about the amount of people being killed. 155 dying with these figures. what more should be being done to protect aid workers? >> yeah. i think respect for international law is crucial. states taking responsibility for

the protection of civilians as well as the protection of aid workers. but i also think a renewed emphasis on humanitarian negotiations on some of the skills of communication of negotiation of even empathy that are kind of de-emphasized need to be re-emphasized so that relationships help to make aid more effective. >> the relentlessness of what you see, horrific things you and workers go through all the time, must be quite devastating. how do you maintain a sense of hope? how does your spirit survive this? >> humanitarianism in itself is believing humanity. my experience over 30 years in this kind of work and those of my colleagues generally as well is rather than taking something

negative from situations, often you end up with the renewed belief in people's resilience. their ability to survive and remain hopeful. i would agree absolutely, we have to get back to understanding that humanitarian law, if it doesn't have a sanction to go with it for those that ignore it and those that bomb target civilians that put others at risk. then there will never be a solution. >> thanks for joining us. ray, thank you for work you've done. >> thank you. let's take you to egypt now. the capital cairo. there are sharply rising house prices there that's forced 2 million people out of their homes over the decades to live in cemetery across the region. the government created a new

ministry for urban development to look at the problem but yet to draw up plans to address the problem that's been there 50 years. >> life and death meet in this huge cemetery in south eastern cairo. dead bodies buried under the ground and families struggling to survive above ground. she came here 50 years ago. she lives with her unemployed son and two grandchildren on government benefit of $60 a month. my only wish before i die is have a decent house, she tells me. i don't want my grandchildren to grow up here. they feel ashamed of it. >> she doesn't pay rent. the owners of the tomb allow her to stay as long as she keeps an eye on the place.

there are no gravestones here, but dozens of bodies are buried here. two million tomb dwellers. that's a what officials say. the people in places like this smell death in every single detail of their lives. they feel neglected by government left to alleviate suffering. >> there's little help available. this charity provides some clothes and occasional free meals for tomb dwellers. >> we have 500 families only because we don't receive consistent donations. we need more money. >> house prices are constantly rising in cairo. poverty is rising too. a new ministry for urban development has been created to tackle these problems. so far it's not making the tomb

dwellers a priority. >> relatively speaking, they're not under any threat of death or sewage or unsafe dwellings. it's construct offhaed of brick morters. for years, egyptians have lived in tombs. >> how long will they continue to rely on resting places of the dead to provide homes for the living? bbc news cairo. do stay with us here on bbc world news. still to come. we're going to take you back to cairo and beijing as well. it's a little different. we're going to to look at the world from two wheels and have our series on the global appeal of cycling. stay with us. wouldn't it be great if hiring plumbers, carpenters shopping online is as easy as it gets. and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie's list, now it is.

i'm lucy hockings. thanks for being with us on "gmt." our top stories this hour. the officer in charge of operations in ferguson, missouri says criminals have infiltrated the crowds of protestors and are intent on violence. iraqi government forces h e launched offenses to drive fighters out of tikrit. aaron joins us now with business. has it been ten years aaron? >> i know. a big moment in history for the tech world for google. when i saw that story today, i remembered being on set, talking about it. >> you know you look just the same. >> i know you're lying. let me explain the story.

thank you. hello there. ten years ago today, google launched its shares. it went public and entered the stock market. it was a big moment in the tech world besides raising $1.2 billion in cash, going public for google was the start of transformation for the world's biggest search engine. we'll talk about those in a second. ten years ago, when it went public, how did entering the stock market allow for the transformation? >> it was six years into its life which may not sound like much. in the tech world, things are compressed. it wasn't that long ago.

based on search but appetizing link to that search. it gave it the money to hire more engineers, expand operations, and continue the huge progress. remember, the day it launched at that price, $85, lots of people were skeptical. i remember saying in the morning meeting, that's too high. wrong again. >> what is the share price today? >> it's been split. the share price is above $582. >> don't take investment tips. >> you've got one in your hand. how important was it for google when it entered the smart phone arena with the android system? >> people were again skeptical about this. why are they doing that? that's in it for then. they've given away the software. what it's done to extend the search reach into the mobile world. they need to be as big in mobile appetizing as they are in desk top. they are not quite there yet.

without presence there through that operating system -- which don't forget is the dominating operating system -- >> android is now? >> yeah, well ahead of apple. it makes google a huge player in the mobile internet. >> you did a study over a few months. we talked about this with the goiogle glass. was that dipping the toe in the water for google to have wearable? >> google has vast amounts of money. it can spend it how it likes. it does moon shots. it bets money on various interesting projects. you've got this google glass, the self-driving car, project to bring the internet to remote parts of the earth. we see how they fit together. google wants to be -- is

properly paranoid about what comes next and how it might threaten its business model. >> i'm going to quickly get to this. it's business model makes nearly all money from revenue. you talked about driverless cars, drones, extending reach. google has been investigated by u.s. and eu authorities about being too big. >> google is in the situation microsoft was in the late 90s. it's the target of choice for regulations particularly in europe where especially given recent events around surveillance, there's great nervousness about the sheer power this company has. it has to get to grips with what that means and regulated around the world. >> i've got to wrap this up. next ten years, more of this kind of stuff? >> yeah, extending to every area, gathering as much

information about us so we can be targeted. >> our pleasure. you know which way you have to go. our tech guru there. okay. we'll keep a cross on that. let's talk about this. this chinese are coming. i tell you what, they want to buy your house. that's how one u.s. newspaper put it. with chinese households getting very rich, a growing number are investing in american real estate. buyers from china and hong kong spent $22 billion, 72% more than the year before snapping up high end homes from california to new york city. in fact, our very own michelle reports from manhattan. >> in new york's market, the rich always aim high. manhattan's luxury towers are home to newest arrivals of chinese. >> the international buyer have

some type of new york landmark. i was taken on a tour of the luxury apartment building in manhattan. she's seen a number of chinese clients grow in recent years. >> reports from first two quarters, we're fully 25% asian buyers in manhattan real estate. this is a mind blowing number. one quarter of every sale in building like this are now coming from asia. we have to anticipate and project that this number is going to get much larger. >> cynthia has swapped beijing for the big apple for the city she works. in the city that never sleeps, she has a place to call home sweet home. she moved in three weeks ago. >> for me it's basic willy the stability. i feel it's safe tore move money from china to new york. it's more stable real estate

cycling. it's so dangerous. >> more people see cycling as a sport for battle. bikes are more attractive to young people because we take better care of our health. >> however, there was a lack of safety awareness among us. people tend to think it's a cool thing and take to the streets without practicing. >> it's good to use bikes. it helps with so many problems. i wish to look up one day to say people all over cairo are using their bikes for transportation and no cars anymore. that's one of the most controversial moments of the football world cup when suarez bit another player. he's saying he will never do it
