you know, if it wasn't for the actions of ferguson police department in covering up what they've done for him, you know, and if it wasn't for the actions of everybody that has participated in the cover-up, you know, none of this would have happened. >> reporter: the grand jury is hearing evidence. it could take till mid-october before you get a result. if that result is not in your favor, if charges aren't leveled against darren wilson, what's going to happen here? >> i mean, we'll just have to wait and see. you know what i'm saying, because i can't speak for the people, just like the people can't speak for me. we'll just wait and see. >> reporter: errol, a message from the community. for here now everything is peaceful. everything is quiet. we'll have to wait to see as eyes continue to watch this investigation and what transpires in ferguson, missouri. >> a brief sampling. there are those who support darren wilson, a fund supporting him has now raised more than $350,000, so still an american

9:26 pm
not expect and it is -- look at that bus there, guys. there are people in there, obviously, and rescue folks got there very quickly, unfortunately we did have some fatalities in and around south korea, not particularly in that incident. there were heroics efforts trying to get that people out of the bus. just incredible scenes there with the streams and rivers getting involved because 10 inches, 250 millimeters will do it. look at one of the pictures, one of the still shots of some of the rescue workers. that bus you saw flipped over, there it is, there are the rescue workers and some onlookers there trying to get people out and people were taken out but you're dealing not only with the flooding but with the currents that are fighting the effort there is so just incredible scenes, no question coming out of south korea. now at this point a bit of a break. the reason we're getting these bouts of rain is this frontal boundary that is draped from shanghai from eastern provinces of china along the korean
9:27 pm
pentaton peninsula where they've been dealing with heavy weather and more is going to be on the way. stay in this hemisphere. in the philippines the same deal. sometimes you don't get a named prop cal system but for all intents and purposes this is what a tropical storm would do, dumping very heavy amounts of rain and staying right over the same area. this has brought significant rains, anywhere from 100 to 200 millimeters of rainfall, about 4 to 8 -- as much as 8 inches of rainfall here, torrential downpours and scenes reminiscent of south korea although not as bad there in the philippines as people were trying to get around and jumping on anything that could get them to dry land and we'll leave you with more flooding in india, of course, here because of the monsoon this time of year we've had pretty decent totals over the last couple of days, although they pale in comparison to what we've seen in south korea and also in
9:28 pm
the philippines but here as well people trying to get around this part of the world this time of year, of course, this is when they get the rains and sometimes very heavy at that. and there it was about 24 hours ago so hoping for some drier times ahead. >> also -- >> iceland volcano, 5.7 earthquake registered just a few hours ago, the strongest we've had. >> it's blewing. >> yeah, we're going to see -- check on that in the next half hour. >> all right. thanks, ivan. see you soon. still ahead thousands of westerners have joined the jihadist fight in syria and iraq. >> we're with a group tracking the cyberfootprint of some of those men who for some reason are splashing their militant exploits all over the web. stay with us. the cadillac summer collection is here. ♪

9:34 pm
syria and iraq have documented their journeys online? yeah, these jihadists may be the clue to finding the murderer of james foley. our atika schubert speaks with experts on how they're using social media to find crucial information about the fighters. >> reporter: there are thousands fighting in syria and hundreds from britain. many of them online boasting about battlefield exploits posting gruesome photos of executions and beheadings. >> at the moment our database contains just over 450 individual people who have gone out to fight. that includes men and women. we have gone through twitter, instagram, facebook, all these social media accounts and begun to build profile of the individuals who have gone out will. >> reporter: the international center for the study of radicalization at kings college tracks many online. peter neumann founded it. >> 20% are westerners and of the
9:35 pm
westerners, 2,000 are western europeans. the western europeans, brits, represent maybe 400. certainly a sizable number but it is by far the largest number. >> reporter: they like many analysts and investigators have been scouring their databases to see if there is a match for foley's killer. the masked man with the british accent. here they show us how they build profiles on known militant. >> this guy is from sweden. he's from sweden. what is helpful about this you can get a since of what weapons they're using, what they're equipped with. before maybe in a conflict you would have to have intelligence you gleaned from on the ground. now you can see that on twitter. >> can you tell where they are with a shot like that. >> yeah. >> that constant ringing noise in the background, that's one of their contacts, a british jihadist in syria carefully suggesting that some fighters may want to come back home even though they face time in jail. incredibly, more than 200 fighters have returned home from syria since the conflict began.
9:36 pm
>> how many people are you? he said i'm with 0 people. i said, all brits. he said 80 brits. >> he thinks he can be a conduit to help them come back. >> they're riding the headlines and reads they'll all be locked up and flown away and taken their passports. >> reporter: they also talk about this video. the most recent propaganda from isis designed to show their planning operations and showcasing video taken from a drone camera. >> this looks like he might be going on a suicide mission. that would be really interesting. >> wow. yeah. >> reporter: despite trolling through videos like this, however, none of the jihadis they're profiling match the man in foley's video. even if he is found he is still far from the reach of the british government with no guarantee that foley's executioner will ever face justice. atika schubert, cnn, london.
9:37 pm
>> getting you back to one of the other stories we're follow, the funeral of michael brown. >> the 18-year-old was buried monday and thousands attend the what's known as the homegoing service. this is certainly not the first funeral for an unarmed young african-american killed in gun violence. >> yeah, you may remember two other victims died in similar situations, take a look. this was 23-year-old sean bell, one of three men shot outside a new york nightclub after undercover police officers in 2006, the officers fired 50 shots in just a few seconds killing bell on the morning before his wedding. those officers were acquitted in a criminal trial. >> in 2012 former neighborhood watch captain george zimmermann shot and killed 17-year-old trayvon martin. the teen was walking back to his father's home after buying some snacks at a store. zimmermann was also acquitted in the case. don lemon sat down with all
9:38 pm
three of these victims' mothers now united in heartbreak. >> what can these moms, these women, they can offer you something that the guys can't, right? something that the husbands can't? >> yeah. >> reporter: what can they offer you? >> they're speaking to me from experience, you know. they offer me something right now. but i can't tell you what it is. but it's something. and something is more than nothing. >> reporter: when we were standing there waiting to meet her, you turned to valerie, sybrina, and you said, are you having flashbacks of this moment? >> yes, she did. >> reporter: when it was the day before the homegoing -- >> yes, i have to be strong for her. the flashback, my son eight years ago was my flashback and
9:39 pm
thinking of her at the time, her son was 10 years old when it happened and i thought to say to her keep the memories in your heart, that's going to help you to continue to carry on with your son and believe and have faith in god will help you and the close family members. that's what keeps me, the memories of my son. he always used to tell me, ma, i got this so i'm telling you, ma, you got this. it's okay to scream and i still do, it's eight years. >> you have to focus on when he was smiling. you have to focus on his first day of school and you have to focus on christmas day and things like that. the happier times and put a picture up when he was happy. >> yes. >> and you have to focus on those. just don't focus on the death because that's going to eat away at you. >> and, lesley, you know, it's hard and you're probably thinking right now, i'm sure it doesn't seem real to you. but these ladies are examples that there's -- you can survive this. and i don't know -- i can't -- maybe i'm not putting it in the
9:40 pm
right words, but can you ever be whole again or can you ever -- how would you put it? >> i don't think it's a matter of being whole. what i think it is is a matter of a new life and this is the new life. this is -- i can never go back to who i was and what i was because i'm missing something very precious in my life and something very special. >> losing my son was like losing a part of your body but you remember. you remember what that part of your body has done for you. like if you lose an arm, you knew what that arm did, so my thing is keeping the memories that will keep you and carry you on. >> i want you to talk about it because it's going to be very difficult, and you have dealt with it is character assassination. i think you describe it as character assassination, one of you. what do you mean by that? >> that means that people that don't even know her son is going to say negative things about him
9:41 pm
just to portray him in a different light, in a negative light, just to try to justify what happened. >> is that one of the hardest parts or you even are thinking about, about people talking about your son? >> no, the hardest part for her is going to be the homegoing service. as i have said, that is the absolutely worst day of her life as a mother because there is no words that can bring comfort to her as a mother by seeing her son in a casket. >> do you go around the house in the kitchen and talk to trayvon? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> do you? >> yes. if i know something has to be done, ma, i got this. his favorite saying. ma, i got this. >> do you do the same thing, lesley?
9:42 pm
>> especially when it rains, yep. >> when it rains. why? >> something about the rain. something about it. >> it makes you want to -- >> i feel him. >> he's there. >> uh-huh. >> he's there. he's watching over you. >> what was it like meeting her? >> i'm glad i did meet you. it brought back memories of my son and i just thought of your son. >> it's hurtful but at the same time it's -- it's comforting because i know she needs people that understand what she's going through. >> and, lesley, what was it like meeting these ladies? they've been saying everything
9:43 pm
how they feel about you. what's it like meeting them? what do you want to say to them? >> i'm sorry what you had to go through. i'm sorry about your son. >> thank you all. >> he got you. he got you, baby. he got you. he got you.
