we hear from inside the islamic state strong hold bombarded by syrian and u.s. warplanes. we'll have more on europe's most unlikely pop star releasing an album featuring unusual song choices. also, aaron is here to look at the deal to get europe working again. >> the new eu president has said christmas has come early. he launched an investment fund to help flat line the european economy. critics say it will put taxpayers at risk. we're also asking the question, is this deal too little too late?

hello. it is midday here in london. 7:00 a.m. washington, 6:00 a.m. in ferguson, missouri. there's been a second night of angry demonstrations after the decision not to charge a white policeman that shot the unarmed black teenager. protests have spread country wide. a dozen cities have seen demonstrations new york to seattle. most the rioting did break out in oakland, california. in ferguson, 40 arrests were made. police seized some weapons. there was no repeat of monday night. the city had hundreds of extra national guard troops patrolling the streets. our north america editor sends this. warning, his report contains some flashing lights. >> reporter: protests have been going on a few hours now. these people are outside the main ferguson police station. there have been a number of squirmishes tonight. a police car has been a burned

out. police fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators telling people to go home or face arrest and clear the road. the calls are falling on deaf ears. there's maybe 100 or 200 gathered outside the police station now. you can see behind that, the national guard who's deployed in huge numbers tonight to keep ferguson a more peaceful place than it was the night before are standing by. so far you'd have to say it has been a much more peaceful night than last night. perhaps more significant are the demonstrations that are taking place across america. >> as john was saying there, protests have spread far and wide across the united states. let's take you through some now. in washington d.c., a crowd lay in the road four and a half minutes to symbolize the four and a half hours michael brown's body laid in the street after he

was shot and killed. people in new york took to the streets for a second night of protests there. there were scuffs in time square. although the police commissioner said officers were giving demonstrators breathing room as long as they didn't become violent. in oakland, california, protestors shut down two major roads before marching through the city center. they vandalized police cars and looted businesses. the police department says 350 took part in the protests. in one of the night's biggest rally, estimated 15,000 were out in boston. a handful of arrests there. marchers tried to move on a major road to disrupt traffic. darren wilson is the police officer that shot michael brown. when news of the shooting spread it started riots in august. here he is describing his version of events the day he

shot the teen. >> he stopped, turned an faced me. his right hand goes in his waistband. his left hand is at his side. he starts charging me. my initial thought was is there a weapon in there? >> even though he didn't pull out something earlier? >> it was the unknown. i tried to to talk to him and said let me see your hands. >> some witnesses said the moment he turned around he turned around and put his hands up. >> that would be incorrect. no way. >> so you say he starts to run, starts to come towards you. and? >> at that time i gave myself the question, can i shoot this guy? the question i answer add myself, i have to. if i don't, he will kill me if he gets to me. >> even 35 to 40 feet away? >> once he's coming that direction, if he hasn't stopped yet, when is he going to stop? after he's coming at me i fired

a series of shots and paused. >> what did you see is this. >> i noticed at least one of them hit him. i didn't know where. i saw his body flinch a little. after that i pause add and yelled stop, get on the ground. giving him the opportunity to stop. he ignored all commands and kept running. after he kept running again, i shot a series. at this time he's 15 feet away. i start backpeddling. he gets to eight to ten feet. he leans forward like he's going to tackle me. i looked down the barrel of my fun and i fired. i saw his head. that's where it went. >> in the top of his head? >> yes. >> you never shot your gun before, and now a man is dead? >> uh-huh. >> is there anything you could have done differently to prevent that killing from taking place? >> no. >> nothing?

>> no. >> you're absolutely convinced when you look through your heart and mind that if michael brown were white this would have gone down exactly the same way? >> no question. >> you and your wife, what is your dream going forward? >> we want to have a normal life. that's it. >> guess it's hard to have a normal life after someone is lying dead? >> uh-huh. >> something you think will always haunt you? >> i don't think it's a haunting. it's always going to be something that happened. >> you have a very clean conscious? >> the reason i have the clean conscious, i know i did my job right. >> that's darren wilson talking to abc news. let's go to ferguson now for an update with bbc michelle. how different was last night to the night before that?

>> reporter: it was a much calmer night compared to chaotic scenes we saw earlier. the police chief from st. louis saying it was calmer and better despite the fact they found a molotov cocktail, broken windows and a police car was set on fire. there was a stronger national guard presence over night. triple numbers from monday from 700 to 2200. overnight there were 44 arrests. >> we heard the interview with the police officer darrel wilson giving his events. what do protestors disagree with about what happened that day? >> reporter: the one thing you keep hearing out on the streets is the sense they don't necessarily believe the story. you hear eyewitnesses that give different accounts. that's something the prosecutor referred to when he was reading

results of the indictment saying that there had been conflicting accounts so certainly from the protestor's point of view, there's a sense some how this doesn't add up. it does depend on which side you fall on. people have a different view of how much credibility. to protestors it's the idea he was so feared of someone who in his own words he described as a hogan like figure. someone who put him in fear of his life. that's at the heart of this. many people are concerned about that perception of michael brown. >> michelle, of course protests now in many parts of the u.s. overnight. is there a sense of this spreading? >> well i mean there's certainly a huge outpouring of solidarity we've seen across the country. obviously here i am in missouri. look across new york, california. scenes last night, people taking to the streets. president obama talked about this being a problem not just

for ferguson but america and certainly given that show of support we saw in the streets. it seems to have echoed across the country. >> thanks very much. live in ferguson, missouri. if you want more information, analysis, it's all on our website. go to a live page reporting the events. the updates on the from protests across the united states as well now. you can also see the latest photos, tweets, and discussions going on there at bbc.com/news. let's take you through other news story this is hour. australian athlete is in critical condition after surgery to relief pressure on his brain. he was struck on the head with a a ball. the makers of the helmet he was wearing say it was an older model that a doesn't offer the most up to date protection the. four polio vaccination

seven hong kong policeman have been arrested in connection with a beat ofg a pro-democracy protestor. he was filmed being led away in handcuffs while police cleared the underpass by the protest camp last month. earlier two student leaders at heart of the pro democracy demonstrations were arrested. almost 150 arrests were taken place. police cleared and reopened a main road. the medical moon suits have come to symbolize the ebola epidemic. how easy is to get them to west africa and also how to calculate

when there's so many health care workers. the charity is here to talk about the challenges and how they've been providing safe and dignified burials. chris weeks is a spokesman from world vision. first of all, the striking thing about these suits, you see them used in west africa. they can only be used once? >> absolutely. we did a major ship. we shipped 110 tons of equipment in a jumbo jet from america to sierra leone in the initial stages this. it's disposable. we shipped 4 million gloves. we are keeping up with demand, but you need to wear three pairs of gloves. they have to be thrown away regularly. stock needs to be replenished which is one of the challenges. >> how are you dealing with that challenge? many of us thought they could be sprayed down and worn the neday.

>> we have to keep the supply of suits coming. we are actually loading a ship in new jersey. that is heading on its way to sierra leone as well. as is the case of marley. we're preempting the work that needs to be done. we're hoping to stay ahead of the curve there. it's a challenge. the equipment we shipped out initially was given by u.s. companies. we assembled in the warehouse, packed in pallets, put on a plane and flew it over. none of this is cheap. we're getting donations. as you imagine logistics are challenging. >> how protective are protective suits, how vital are they? >> we're supplying to medical experts. this is all about all agencies coming together, working together in each supplying different things to make the operation work. i certainly have no expertise in how these are used. we hand them over to professionals. they use them in the health centers. there aren't enough people being

treated. we are keeping up with supply at the moement. we're going to need more suits. >> the other issue you are facing and tackling is that of the burial. how vital is it for safe i hygienic burials to take place when that goes against tradition of keeping a love d one's body at home. >> it's absolutely essential. there was a piece of work done recently by harvard university which was saying this could be the key to curbing the spread to the disease. of course traditional burial rights follow. that includes washing the body. it's a sensitive topic. you have to get it right. you're dealing with rawest human emotions. we have a team of 40 people. we've got funding from the british government to train this train going up and down the country. suits come to play in funerals. unfortunately we can't afford the need for these suits.

i watched a burial this morning. the relative temperaturhe perso died can follow them to the grave. there's dignity in it. i was told there was a riot because a body was put in the back of a van in a bag. that's what we're avoiding. >> thanks chris from world vision uk. let's turn to south america. one of the world's doonly count in 2 world to say cattle are 100% tagged in the database. they know precisely where each cow comes from. we have this trace billty system. >> like their fathers and grandfathers before them, rocky and lindenburg are gouchoss.

this is a land of high-tech cowboys. the laptop is as important to the farmer as his horse. there are 12 million cattle in uruguay four types the number of people. the outbreak in 2001 threatened the livestock industry. animals are now electronically tagged at birth in the world's first completely traceable meat process is. this has cost about 60 or $70 million to implement. this helps to reinforce the country's representation as the world's premiere supplier of quality beef. it's paid dividends increasing sales in prime markets in europe and north america. tags can be read at any time recording the animal's basic movement. >> our system is secure. every producer takes parts from

the farmer with two cows. if they have 2,000 or 20,000 head of cattle. it's free, paid for by the state. >> accountability and transparency doesn't stop at the farm gate. as cattle arrive at the processing plant, their identities and where they come from stay with them throughout. that's trace blt is required by law and in some cases computer tagging have been tracked back to the farm it came from. uruguay is setting the example says the british businessman that built this high-tech plant here. >> this is where it is, where all people deserve to know what they're eating. we don't short cut. some do job incorrectly. this country doesn't.

this country is sound. >> uruguay's beef exports are worth more than $1.5 billion last year. it's known as one big farm. knowing where your meat comes from is a legal right. the drama for one of the world's best known heavy metal bands acdc has made an appearance in court where he faces charges threats to kill and of drug possession. he failed to arrive at court on time. the judge issued him with an arrest warrant before withdrawing it. he didn't enter a plea. he's on bail until the 2nd of december. now this could be the most unlikely pop star in europe, sister christina. on the "the voice" she started singing. she's released an album. james reynolds reveals it.

♪ >> sister christina likes to sing. no one quite expected her to perform this. ♪ like a virgin ♪ touched for the very first time ♪ >> it's hard to believe that she's a real nun. when you meet her, it's hard to believe she's a pop star. she lives with two other nuns, wears no makeup. sister christina doesn't speak much english. she does know the meaning of the lyrics she sings. >> translator: in order to communicate with young people you need to speak their language. it's fine. i have permission of my mother

superior. >> she's even shared the stage with italy's version of "the voice." only one of them dressed up for the occasion. should a catholic nun be singing questionable pop songs? sister christina no more than a novelty act? here in milan, they will decide. >> translator: she has a beautiful voice. even if she's a nun, she can still be a pop singer. >> translator: she's a terrible sing isser. a nun should behave a certain way. you're either a nun or pop singer. >> sister christina takes little notice of the criticism. she feels she serves god in silence and in song. james reynolds, bbc news milan. >> sister christina dividing opinion in italy. stay with us the next half hour

you're watching "gmt" on bbc world news. another night of protest in ferguson while more demonstrations across the u.s. we'll talk to one civil rights activist in a moment. ukraine reflects on the one year anniversary of the protests. what's different about the way things are today. >> nothing happened. just take money from europe,

demonstrations have spread country wide from new york to california. this proves a difficult subject for parents in ferguson. we've spoken to parents about how they're explaining to sons and daughters what's happening. >> you know, i don't really know how to get into it. >> i'm still grappling with how to explain the verdict to my child. i'm still trying to figure it out myself. >> with my three teenagers, they don't understand all the hate. >> each time i saw the car going up in flames, tears were flowing from my eyes. my kids couldn't get it. >> i don't want my child not knowing what's going on. >> it's going to be part of

history. >> we let them know. violence is inevitable. >> my 8-year-old said mom, why won't the helicopters go away? he wants to be able to sleep at night. i told him there were bad people out doing bad things. >> she wants to know why things remain burned down. my answer, rage, an area. >> he looks at his favorite place little cesars being burned down. his reaction was mom, they burned little cesars. it's sad. >> i have to continuously talk about racism, safety, protection, protocols. some of that i don't want to explain. >> you want to preserve your child's innocence. you don't want to explain oppression. you don't want them to grow up feeling oppressed.

i want her to know that her life is valued as being of african-american child. >> he's afraid. as he grows up, he's going to be you know a big burly guy like a mike brown. >> i'm going to have to tell him something. i don't know how i'm going to put it to words. >> there are big problems humanity faces at various times. battles are fought in different forums. ferguson happened to be the one where this battle was going to be fought. >> i don't want them to be confused anything anything. i try to be positive. >> i can't explain it to her. >> i try to prepare them. >> i teach them to love all human beings. >> i'll let them do the questions, and i'll just do the answer. >> well the voices of some

mothers of ferguson, missouri. we have the treasurer of st. louis and one of the organizeers of the don't shoot campaign. thank you for joining us on "gmt." you took part in i a peaceful rally a few days ago. i wonder how you're viewing what's happening now? >> martin luther king used to say that the riots are the language of unheard. in st. louis, we have had a problem b many years. we never had race riots in the 60s like other major cities. unfortunately it's our time for people to speak up about the race issues that exist in the city of st. louis. >> what about the violence. how do you view it? do you condemn the acts of violence that have been not? >> absolutely do not condone violence, however, i remember watching the verdict on tv, the decision. i remember feeling anger. i definitely feel where the anger and rage comes from, but i

do not condone violence. there are other ways to address the problems we've been experiencing over the last several decades. violence is definitely not one. >> the discussions over what exactly happened in this particular case will go on. i want to look at the issue more widely. what would you say needs to change? what are the biggest issues for you? >> the biggest issues are related to policy and several years of educational and economic disparities that exist in our city. there's a dividing line we like to call did del mar boulevard. as soon as you cross it you can see economic minvestment and isn't economic investment. we need to look at policies where we invest our. our educational system is fragmented. some school districts are failing and under state control. people are double digit unemployment in the black

community. people can't get to jobs because of lack of public transportation from one neighborhood to the next. several investments need to be made. several policy decisions need to be made to dismantle our court system. these municipalities existed on the backs of court through minor traffic violations that then turn to warrants that prevent people from getting jobsing or losing their jobs if they have an outstanding warrant. we need to look at our entire system. this is going to take systemic change and going to be long. >> you're talking about a local issue, locali area. are you saying this is across the united states, in black areas? >> i would definitely say so. this is micro of what's going on in other major cities in america. other cities have the same problem with economic investment, educational disparities as well as double

digit unemployment in minority communities. >> why do you think this is happening if indeed it is happening? >> we've had series of flight from urban areas to suburban areas. any major city you see suburban areas are thriving and opposite for urban areas. we have mayors of cities that get together on a frequent basis to address these issues. we don't see movement. it took us years to get to this place and going to take us years to get out of this place. >> thank you very much. treasurer for the city of st. louis. thank you. there's lots more on this whole issue on our website. how many cities in the u.s. are facing similar issues? check out our website. a piece by our north america editor on the difficulty of race relation across the country. lots more on bbc.com/news. well aaron is here with the

very latest european developments. >> it's the european developments, really. it's europe's new deal to get europe back working. mixed reviews. italians love it, germans don't. we'll explain. hello there. christmas has come early. that's how the new president of the european juncker explained the new flat lying economy. the strategy will use $21 million to stump up 15 times that much for projects like new roads, railways, high speed internet. here he is speaking to parliament a short time ago. >> we need structured reforms to modernize and preserve our

social market economy. yes, we need fiscal responsibility to restore confidence and public finances. to complete this effective, we now need to boost investment. >> eu president there. we are the correspondent joining us. great to have you on the program. makes for a great headline, right? there's not a lot of new money here. explain to viewers around the world how this is supposed to work. >> reporter: this is the sort of key to the whole thing if you like. what we've been hearing today here from jean claude juncker. eu puts up $20 billion and then uses that as guarantees if you'd like to get private financing, banks, pension funds, insurance

companies, whoever has money and wants to put it to big projects. eu will take the initial risks in those projects and therefore draw in lots more money to projects all around europe which then will deliver returns for private investors. it believes it can multiply 15 times. what was interesting we had the head of the european this wasment bank. they're going to help, put money in, scrutinize projects. he said we can overshoot this, do this more than 15 times. this is how we raise money. we know there's money out there. banks tell us, record low interest rates. money low in the system. this is what they're trying to tap into. > >> a lot of people sitting on cash pile others. a lot say this is probably too little too late. how long will it take before it gets up and running? >> very good question as well. it will take until june next year for all bits to be put many

place at that point. they can then start to be b approving projects or looking at projects. those projects of course if you're building roads and broad band networks, building energy connections between countries. those take time. this isn't going to be a quick fix. what we did here as well from jean claude and his team, they said this isn't a magic wand. it can make a difference. mr. juncker said to people after years of crisis and stagnation, this can be an array of hope. he wants to shift to jobs and growth. >> i'll throw you this one. this may be a ray of hope, but it has mixed reviews right? italians like it. germans in particular don't like this, do they? >> they're nervous about this. they're nervous about anything

that would involve taking risks. especially european investment bank taking risks with lending. we heard the bank saying that's fine. we're a bank. that's what we do, take risks. there are others who are also nervous. countries like the uk don't want the bunch expanding. national governments don't have money to invest. eu can't. it has to keep a balanced budget every year. they have to try to find the way to make it leveraged, make the most of money they've got. it's a big change for the way eu does things. usually they lend money to projects. here it's going to use that as capital to multiply money many times over. others called it hocus pocus. we'll see.

thanks very much. okay. here's the question many are asking. is google too big, too dominant? today the european parliament is debating whether separating search engines from the other commercial services offered by firms as much as google would help insure a level playing field on the worldwide web. the parliament doesn't actually have the power to break up google. the proposal underlines the concerns of eu politicians about american dominance of the internet. meanwhile the united states has warned against this whole issue. kevin explains. >> they can't actually force a break up of google. what they can do is have influence to the collision ammi encourage more robust action. google applies across the board to all search engines and this digital strategy for europe including roaming charges and things from mobile phones.

obviously the big story is google is being cut down and put back in its place. >> we're going to keep across that eu and google other search engines. let me leave you with this. it will take a generation to reform british banks. that's according to a report by the think tank new city agenda. it says a toxic culture with decades in the make have poor standards costing the industry $60 billion in fines and customer compensation over the past 15 years since the 2008 financial crisis. we know this. we've been talking about it. there have been numerous scandals. many call for change. the british bankers association says the banks have made progress in rebuilding public trust. i think there's more work to be done. follow me on twitter. get me @bbc aaron. that is it with business.

>> thank you very much. do stay with us on bbc world news. coming up. ukraine is reflecting on the year since the start of sweeping protest. we look at what is different there today. zapped it, right to our house. and that's how they got it here. so, santa has a transporter? for the big stuff ... and it's a teleporter. cool. the magic of the season is here, at the lexus december to remember sales event. this is the pursuit of perfection.

longer. whether the eu has the political will, stamina, perseverance to stay in that strategic game for that long of period is the big question here. >> hence the need to speed things up. plenty of ukrainians are now demanding more accountable government. one goal to check up to 1 million public employees with links to discredited regimes. the man pushing the scheme says it's now or never. >> this is the best time for reforms because the risks are so huge. the problems are so vital that we need extremely good change the to save our independence. >> some have paid with their lives. these are difficult times in ukraine. the calls for reform are growing ever louder. the threat from moscow is
