working on for you today. while the curfew in ferguson, missouri, is over we learned overnight seven people were arrested with police using smoke canisters as crowds gathered in defiance of the curfew. ultimately police say they used tear gas to try to get at a shooting victim at a local barbecue restaurant. kurdish troops are battling isis militants in northern iraq, as we speak here. they're trying to take back the country's biggest dam from the terrorists who seized it earlier this month. cnn crew on the ground tells us they've seen explosions, smoke, mortar, rocket-fire, the kurdish fighters advanced toward the dam after using war planes and drones, bombed isis targets. number three, pro-russian separatists have shot down another ukrainian fighter jet that's near luhansk. this marks the third known military jet destroyed by rebels since the conflict began some six months ago.

ukraine's news agency says the pilot ejected and it safe but also ukraine now says mysterious convoy of russian trucks that showed up on their border is, in fact, humanitarian aid. initially there was no idea who or what was inside those vehicles or where they even came from. no word yet on when those supplies, though, will be transported to the hundreds of thousands of people in need. number three, pro-russian rebels are threatening to launch a major counter-offensive against ukrainian forces. the head of the self-proclaimed donetsk people's republic says the separatists have more than 100 armored vehicles, 30 tanks and they may indeed use them so we're going to keep focusing on that as well. we also have to tell you about a the thousands of catholics in south korea cheering for and praying along with pope francis this morning. he's on his second to last day of a rare visit to the country. it's been nearly a quarter century since a pope stepped

foot in south korea. yesterday more than a 1 million people joining the pope for mass in downtown seoul. with a cease-fire for gaza set to expire tuesday and much of the area in ruins, a palestinian delegation returns to cairo, egypt today, to resume independent peace talks with israel, hoping to end weeks of fighting between israeli forces and hamas. israel wants hamas to disarm and gaza to demilitarize. hamas wants israel to end its economic blockade of gaza and free prisoners. let's get you back to ferguson, missouri. just some really engaging pictures we're getting out of there with the state-imposed curfew that is over, as i said, only after more violence erupted overnight, though. police used smoke canisters and then after that tear gas in response to a shooting just minutes into the five-hour curfew. the top security on the team

says a man is shot and in s in critical condition. squad car was also fired upon. captain ron johnson told us authorities clamped down on protesters in response to the shooting, not to the curfew violations but seven people were arre arrested, not the alleged shooter. i believe they are still looking for that alleged shooter. the curfew came a week after 18-year-old michael brown was fatally shot by a white police officer. lawyer says michael baden, who testified in the o.j. simpson case will conduct a second autopsy on brown's body. back out to missouri with ana cabrera. so good to have you with us. is there any indication, we know that it's not just ferguson police out there now, they've got the state highway practice pa patr patrol and police from st. louis, how long some of those other departments that are aiding this may stay? >> reporter: there's no word on that just yet. i think we have to get through day by day, as we are still

seeing unrest amongst the protesters and those overnight hours, christi, so i think it could be a while. we'll have to wait and see. there's another day of rallies that are planned and the investigation is still moving forward. you can see some peaceful protesters, very small number of people out here this morning. you mentioned the unrest overnight, a real unfortunate scene as officials put that curfew into place in order to quell the violence. i can tell you to give perspective on all of this, it was a much smaller protest overnight, and the people who decided to stay after the curfew was put into place is just a few dozen, described as maybe teenagers, early 20-somethings and it was a small, isolated group that was there to insight t incite the violence and go against the police and governor's instructions as he put that state of emergency into effect and the curfew itself. as you mentioned, one person was shot, last ch ek in credeck in

condition. the circumstances surrounding the shooting are unclear. the highway patrol captain is telling us that person who was shot was a protester and that police saw somebody armed in the crowd and that was the reason they moved forward with a show of force. listen to this. >> we got a report of a shooting victim near the quick trip and ba redd's barbecue. as they approached redd's barbecue they deployed tear gas, the first canister deployed was there, in an effort to move back and get to the shooting victim. also a police car at that location was shot at. >> reporter: and no word on whether that police car was actually hit, but you can hear that there is still a level of unrest, and still outrage in this community, i think, overall, however, the community is now stepping up saying we are

proud of our town and of our people. we don't want to be seen as people who are violent, and so most people are being very peaceful, christi. as far as the investigation moving forward, we're told it could take weeks, months, still before that investigation is complete. of course we've got multiple investigations. we know the fbi is on scene, some 40 representatives of the federal investigation are, in fact, talking to more witnesses. they've interviewed the officer twice, the toxicology results are pending. everybody still wants answers and the quest for justice in this community continues. >> ana cabrera, thank you so much for getting into what's happening this morning. let's discuss this with hln legal analyst joey jackson and senior media correspondent brian stelter. the media has become a huge player in the protests, you capture the scene and sometimes become part of the story. we know the two journalists that

were arrested this week in a mcdonald's, they're not facing charges as we understand it, but how do incidents like this and the coverage shape a viewer's understanding of the story? >> well, as always, the reporters are our eyes and ears there, and they're supplemented by citizen journalists, people on twitter and facebook, posting their own video answer photos sometimes angles reporters can't get to. last night some reporters were over in a specific area, the police allowed them to be in, they couldn't be as close to the area where there were protesters, for example, so we need both perspectives. we need professional reporters as well as citizen journalists so to speak on the ground and what the media says and does in these cases is so important because we're talk being a potentially incendiary situation. if you use the word riot for example, there was a small amount of riot-like behavior two nights this week. riot is an incendiary word. the main word we see on the web is unrest. i would suggest another one,

civil disobedience, a lot of what we're seeing is civil disobedience. unfortunately sometimes it has turned into criminal behavior but language matters a lot when talking about such a sensitive story. >> very good point and the other point you were making about citizen journalists, joey, we've seen the videos turn up on vine and youtube that shows the aftermath of brown's shooting. and i'm wondering, how is that changing the legal landscape with these new kinds of images and media? >> it's huge, christi, and here's the reason. what happens in an investigation like this is police want everyone to come forward. now there are a variety of witnesses who see things through different perspectives, some witnesses potentially have seen the whole thing, while other witnesses may have seen bits and piece actis so in this new generation, whether it's cell phones that you can record something on, there was some report that someone through twitter was actually as the event was unfolding was tweeting out what was happening, and so all this information is very

relevant, as the investigation unfolds and continues to get at all the facts of the case, and so people who have seen something need to say something and need to come forward whether it be to the fbi, whether it to be local authorities, whether it be to the state but to your issue and question, christi, it changes the entire landscape in terms of the legal battles that go on here because that information is brought into a courtroom, is brought into a grand jury and leads to further information and it leads to transparency in terms of what occurred. >> a lot of cameras that are there, they're capturing the protests, capturing the looting, brian, that you had talked about in temples the criminal behavior, and a lot of people have suggested, you know, what? folks act out more aggressively if there are cameras there. do you think the cameras exacerbate the problem? >> i think there needs to be sensitivity about that. on the other hand, though, we now live in a world where folks make their own media, create their own images, and so it's

complicated by the fact of the life of instagram, twitter and vine and youtube and all the other outlets. do some people show up at a camera location like cnn because they want to get on t of? they sure do. on the other hand a lot what have we've been hearing on the crowd, they want to have the right to free speech and to protest and the curfew went against that. i think they would be addressing their right to free speech regardless of whether the press was there. >> joey, i have to ask you this question, we're getting inundated on social media, will charges be filed against darren wilson, the police officer who fired the shot here and if so, what might they be? >> christi, it appears likely. we don't know precisely whether that will be the case, but if you listen to the early witness reports in terms of what happened, there appears to be and that's what's leading to the

entire outrage in the community it appears to be an overstepping of force. someone is running away, hands are up and multiple shots fired. people want to know what was the eminent threat of death, bodily harm that he posed, michael brown to the officer. so in the event that through this investigation, the police find, the fbi finds, the local authority finds there's an overstepping of force, that information presented to the grand jury, they could find that the officer acted with intent, perhaps to retelliate, obviously that would upgrade the charges to horrific proportions like murder, this he could find that there was gross negligence with respect to the way the officer act acted and that would be negligent man vaugter or homicide, or he disregarded a risk letting the firearm discharge that michael brown would be killed. it depends on the state of mind of the officer. it depends on the eyewitness accounts t depends upon the forensic evidence in terms of muzzle to target tests that be

used to determine what the distances were from shot one, shot two and shot three and the dna evidence, was michael brown in that car? did he touch the car? so all of that, christi, would have a lot to do with what the charges are. from early accounts it looks like there will be a prosecution here. >> all righty, joey jackson and brian stelter, thank you so much. we appreciate you. >> my pleasure, christi. appreciate you. >> thank you. i want to remind to you watch "reliable sources" 11:00 eastern with brian here on cnn. more violence in eastern ukraine this morning as well. we'll tell you more about what's going on in kiev as they're saying a convoy from russia entered the country and we'll tell you what they were allegedly carrying. s from the best angle i could. it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin

but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. e future?le announcer ] ask your doctor today

let's talk about the ukraine, where officials in kiev now are saying a convoy of three multiple rocket launcher systems were brought in from russia to eastern ukraine. of course, this coming as the violence in that region seeming to just continue. cnn's will ripley is live in kiev. good morning to you. what do you know about this latest report first of all? >> good morning, christi. the report that came in

overnight is the second report in three days of an armed convoy crossing from russia into ukraine. the first convoy were essentially armored personnel carriers carrying men with uniforms. this convoy, as you said, these grad systems, rocket launchers spotted by the ukrainegovernment and traced headed into the luhansk region, the site of tremendously violent and intensifying confrontation that keeps escalating. at the same time overnight christi, another new report that a ukrainefighter jet, was shot down. this is now at least ten planes the pro-russian separatists are accused of shooting down. we all know about mh-17 which really put this whole region and conflict under an intense microscope but other planes including a military transport plane with 49 people on board also shot down, all of those people dying, christi, so a very violent situation right now. >> withwe know anything about the rebels, their movements, their resources, and how they're

able to continue these attacks? >> well, in addition to the flow of weapons and personnel from russia, in fact you had the rebel leader on a brand new youtube video saying that he's getting ready to receive hundreds of highly trained forces from russia to assist the rebels in what appears to be right now a losing battle against the ukrainegovernment. 50,000 ukrainian troops have essentially cut off donetsk and lieu hansing. they tried to cut off the supply lines. they just re-took a police station from the rebels but the rebels are still fighting. they vowed to fight street by street and that appears to be what they're doing >> will ripley we appreciate the update. thank you, sir. nascar is ushering in new rules in the wake of last weekend's crash involving tony stewart. we'll tell you what's going on.

a deadly racetrack incident a week ago is forcing nascar to change the rules now, and this is aimed at keeping tempers cool and drivers alife obviously. tony stewart demonstrates the problem getting out of his car to angrily confront a driver in the middle of a race. stewart plays a central role in the new nascar field. >> reporter: the death of a dirt track racer kevin ward jr. is changing the game at racing's highest level. we've become used to seeing drivers get out of the car to confront other drivers. it's often considered

entertainment value, but nascar says no more. >> it's safety first right now. >> reporter: a new rule means drivers must stay in their cars unless they're in immediate danger. nascar says that's always been its recommendation. what's to stop dryers now from getting out of the car if they were still getting out of the car before? >> previously it was a guideline, it was a policy, it was a here's how we want to do this kind of thing. now, nascar has put a little bit of teeth into it. if you get out of the car, unless the car is on fire, we're going to sanction you. we're going to penalize you with a suspension, a points penalty or fine or some combination thereof. >> reporter: the decision made less than a week after nascar great tony stewart hit and killed a 20-year-old driver who walked across this track in upstate new york. ward pointing his finger and seemingly shouting at stewart after he was pushed up against a wall mid race. stewart hasn't raced since. >> he's grieving. made the decision's not ready to get in the race car, and will

take it week by week. >> reporter: the crash that killed ward is still under investigation. investigators say they haven't found any evidence of criminal intent. >> it's just a question of what was going through tony stewart's mind. if this was an accident there would be no crime at all. >> reporter: ward's father tells the syracuse, new york, newspaper, this was the first time his son got out of the car during a race. he also tells the paper, "apparently tony stewart was the only one depriving oriving out didn't see him." the new rule only applies to nascar races but other racing organizations are expected to follow suit. as for the penalty for getting out of the car, nascar says that will be decided on a case-by-case basis. >> alexandra field, thank you. we appreciate it. a new york woman accused of stealing lego, i'm not talking about just a couple of boxes. you might have seen her trying to peddle them on ebay. we have details next. this is huge.

as we head toward 9:00 right now, thousands of catholics in south korea are cheering for and praying along with pope francis. look at these pictures coming in. ♪ he's on his second to last day of a rare visit to the country. it's been nearly a quarter

century since a pope stepped foot in south korea. earlier the pope baptized a father who lost a child in april in the deadly ferry disaster in seoul. can you imagine how profound that was? nearly 300 died in the tragedy and most of the victims were students. what a picture there. so this 53-year-old woman is accused of stealing about $60,000 worth of lego sets and then trying to sell them on ebay. nassau county police say gloria haas was arrested thursday after sldly stealing 800 sets of the 80-year-old toys from a long island storage facility, arraigned on grand larceny charges. i'm just trying to figure out how she got them. how do you get 800 lay gego set? >> that i at 's a lot of legos. >> if only we could say something nice about the where. >> not building legos outside. hot temperatures in the south, that jet stream riding high to the north, that means a lot of

the gulf moisture will be able to move up to the north, areas in the south are going to be feeling the heat in the coming days, and that means hot, hot temperatures and that humidity is going to be allowed to play a factor in this, meaning temperatures are going to feel warmer than they actually are, so we are going to be feeling the heat, the sweat is going to be on for the south. temperatures up to 95 by wednesday. when you factor in that humidity, it's going to feel warmer in the south, atlanta we should be at 88, temperatures running about seven or eight degrees above normal. same in charlotte, even warmer, almost ten degrees above normal by wednesday. jacksonville will be at 96 by wednesday. memphis 93 by wednesday and new orleans you'll be hot as well. so we move into the deep south of dallas, triple digits by tuesday into wednesday, when you factor in that humidity, it's going to feel like 105 to 110 by wednesday, and so it is going to feel very, very warm. so for today, highs not all that

bad in comparison. we'll be around 98 in dallas, 94 in memphis, 90 in atlanta. let's jump forward in time though by the time we get to thursday, temperatures will be in the mid-90s in raleigh, nashville at 96, little rock at 96 as well. dallas 100, but by friday, temperatures will be 100 degrees at montgomery, st. louis 95 degrees. so by the end of the week, thursday into friday, that's really when you're going to want to hydrate and be careful out there. right now, we do have some storms pushing in to nashville in the next hour or so, louisville we're going to see the storms push into your area as well. so be on the lookout for possible storms in the south as well as the northern plains. christi? >> it's bad enough when you get the heat. >> yes. >> when you get the storms rolling in with the heat. >> um-hum. >> that's when it gets a little dicey, right? >> yes, when it gets dicey, could see the storms today rolling in the south, not only the south, the northern plains so we've got those two areas to watch today. >> all right. appreciate that you are here,
