5:00 am
jeffrey canada, secretary clinton you've been working on the issues for 40 years. i hope we're able to honor some of your perspectives as well. that will wrap it up for "sgmd." "new day sunday" conditions with christi paul and joe johns. welcome to your sunday, i'm christi paul. we're so glad to have you. >> i'm joe johns in for victor blackwell. it's 8:00 inspect east. we begin with breaking news and a new flashpoint of violence in ferguson, missouri, where a white police officer has been shot during what has been described as a patrol stop. police tell cnn the suspect is african-american, the officer is recovering from a gunshot wound to the arm. >> three hours later an off-duty officer in nearby st. louis was sprayed with gunfire as he drove his personal vehicle near the airport, again this was a personal vehicle, he was not in uniform. the officer wasn't hit either and we do not have description of the suspects. >> at this point, authorities
5:01 am
say neither incident appears to be tied to the continuing unrest in ferguson over the shooting death last month of black teenager michael brown by a white police officer. our george howell has been following the latest developments. >> reporter: tense moments overnight in ferguson, missouri, after two separate shootings that happened within a span of hours. first, a ferguson police officer was shot in the arm while on patrol. authorities say he went in to do a building check and saw someone run away. when the officer got out of his car to chase, police say the suspect turned around and shot the officer. the incident drew crowds and raised nerves in a city already on frenlg weeening from weeks od the question many people were asking -- >> is this related to the protest? >> i don't think it is. it didn't happen within the proximity of the protest area. this is an area that's fairly secluded and i wouldn't have any
5:02 am
reason to believe right now that it was linked in any way, shape, manner or form with the protests. >> reporter: the shooting happened near the ferguson community center. the officer survived. the wound said to be non-life-threatening, exactly three hours later another shooting took place, this time a drive-by on interstate 70 near the st. louis airport. police say someone opened fire on an off-duty officer in his personal vehicle. the officer survived with a few minor injuries from broken glass and did not return fire. it's still unclear whether he was targeted or the victim of a random act of violence. earlier in the night, missouri highway patrol captain ron johnson tried to speak to the crowds, helping to defuse any possible confrontations. >> what i got to say is a police officer has been shot tonight. >> what? >> that's the only person that got shot. >> yeah, right.
5:03 am
>> so -- >> the police told me something else. >> i'm going to ask you to leave and i'm only going to ask you one time. >> you don't ask us one time. these are our streets. these ain't your streets. these are our stroeeets. >> you listen to the sound bite, some would look at that as disrespect to the police officer. there are those in the community though that would say look it's a community that's been disrespected for a long time, people are frustrated with the type of service they've gotten with the ferguson police department but the one thing is certain, you have these two separate incidents, the officer is saying none of them related to the protests that we've seen in recent weeks, but still, it just takes a little to really spark a lot of protests. >> very good point. >> what's really interesting here is so many times when you have these national media events that attract so much attention after a few weeks it all goes away. in a situation like this, though, suddenly we have the media right back, the spotlight right back taken just goes to
5:04 am
show that ferguson is still being watched by the country. >> absolutely. absolutely, and here's the other thing. we're waiting to see what happens with officer cdarren wilson. many expected to hear what would happen to him by mid-october. now we know we won't hear whether he's removed from the department until next year. >> thank you so much, george howell, we appreciate it. we want to look ahead to what may be next for ferguson. joining success mary ellen o'toole. we saw missouri highway patrol captain ron johnson telling the protesters all this hate has got to stop. after that, johnson talked with cnn, he said some protesters have made vague threats to "take the lives" of a police officer. how does law enforcement operate in an environment like that? >> well, the law enforcement will be very much on guard, not only there in missouri but all
5:05 am
over the country, to be aware that there are this small faction of individuals who have, in fact, decided that they are going to possibly target law enforcement. of course at the same time that this statement was made we see the incident up in pennsylvania where that, in fact, was true. whether or not the two are connected i'm not suggesting that, but the reality is law enforcement will have to be on guard again but only because of a very small faction of individuals who have made that threat. >> you can make the case that law enforcement may have even taken its guard down just a little bit last week when ferguson's police chief tom jackson made that very public apology for the michael brown death and for the actions of some of his officers. take a listen to this. >> all i got to say is this [ bleep ] tragedy. we all know that. and i'm sorry, and i said
5:06 am
that -- [ bleep ]. >> you don't have to accept that. that came from my heart. i had to get that off my chest that's been sitting there for two months. >> so what's your sense of what that apology might have done in the community? did it hurt? did it help? did it make any difference? >> i think it would depend on who's listening to it. there may be some and i'm sure there are who said that came too late and it was too little too late. therebe other people that would say finally the chief has come forward and has said something. so it's not going to be received the same way by all people, and then there will be some who say not enough. we still want more. so the circle of people and what they want and what they need to hear is really going to be very different depending on who they are and their sflechlt this situation. >> and what a lot of people want to hear about is what the
5:07 am
federal investigators are doing. there's that civil rights investigation that the department of justice launched. could you expect to hear developments on that case any time soon and a related question is whether you think eric holder's departure could have any effect on all of this? >> i would expect the civil rights investigation is going to take longer. those cases do typically take a long time, so i suspect that those results or those findings will come after the grand jury's findings. i think with eric holder's departure i think he will still have a very vested interest in this case, that something very dear to him and despite the fact that he is stepping down, his interest and his commitment to that, i don't think, will wane. i think it will still be there. >> eric holder actually went on out to ferguson and talked to people there. the president of the united states himself talking about that just last night at the
5:08 am
congressional black caucus foundati foundation. mary ellen o'toole, thanks so much for that. good to see you. >> you're welcome. >> let's talk about that a little bit more. president obama speaking last night and he really focused on the root of unrest that's gripped ferguson since michael brown was killed. michael brown's family was in the audience and he addressed as joe said a congressional black caucus event and a crowd that included as i said brown's parents. listen to what he had to say. >> the anger and the emotion that followed his death awakened our nation once again to the reality that people in this room have long understood, which is in too many communities around the country a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement. guilty of walking while black, driving while black, judged by is itter yo types that fuel
5:09 am
fear, resentment and hopelessness. >> president obama called on members of congress and others to complete the "unfinished work" of equalizing opportunities across society from the criminal justice system to the workplace. >> we could see more air strikes on isis targets around a besieged town in northern syria. the u.s. military has just released a video showing a u.s. missile taking out an isis compound near that town yesterday as the first time coalition air strikes have gotten so close to the turkish border. >> cnn's phil black is at the turkish syrian border. we know turkey is a nato ally. when it comes to these air strikes though it's really been on the sidelines. is there any chance or indication that you've seen that that could change? >> reporter: christi, joe, good morning. at the moment you're right, turkey supports this international coalition that's taking military action against isis but it's not a direct participant in it yet. there's a couple of key factors
5:10 am
weighing heavily on turkey's considerations here. firstly, the influx of refugees from syria. over three and a half years touring this syrian civil conflict turkey as a result has 1.5 million refugees from that country now onity territory and they're coming over by the thousands every day, just in the last week a couple hundred thousand there as well. it's an enormous drain on resources including its military as well and another sensitivity, too, that the turkish government has to consider its proximity, the fact that turkey effectively borders isis-controlled territory. that means turkey gets indirectly involved in the fight, turkey is vulnerable to retaliation in a way that other members of this coalition are not because they are simply located so far away. the border here is pretty porous, a lot of traffic going both ways, the security risks to turkey under those circumstances would be intense but turkey is definitely engaged in efforts against isis but not at that
5:11 am
military level yet. the turkish government says it is engaging with the united states on this on pretty much a daily basis. >> phil black we appreciate it. stay safe, thank you. dozens of people are feared dead after a volcano erupts in jason. cnn's will ripley is live at the active end of the volcano. we'll check in with him coming up next. ♪ music plays ♪ music plays traveling can feel like one big mystery. you're never quite sure what is coming your way. but when you've got an entire company

there are a lot of fears this morning that dozens of people were killed in a massive volcano eruption in japan. dozens more may be trapped or buried underneath the ash. >> there is a rescue effort for survivors under way right now at mt. ontake but officials don't have any idea how many people are missing exactly or where they might be, and here's what's more. the volcano is still active. it is unleashing clouds of ash as we sit here and speak. >> will ripley is live at the base of that volcano. will? >> reporter: hey, joe, christi, the rescue activities have wrapped up for this evening but you can see there's an active road block behind me. this is one of three ways that you can actually get up to the mountain, and we are told that crews who started before dawn, worked all day and into the evening until there was absolutely no light left, they will be back out again before dawn trying to get up the
5:16 am
mountain, crossing that road block behind me to see if they can find anybody who survived the disaster. one by one they're carried off the mountain, more than 30 people with no pulse in a state of cardiac arrest, all of them near the summit when mt. ontake erupted. home video shows a giant plume of gas and ash surrounding and blinding these hikers in seconds. security cameras captured mt. ontake rumbling to life saturday its first major eruption in 35 years, more than 200 climbers came to japan's second highest volcano for the peak of autumn viewing. "so many people were near the summit" says this hiker. "everyone started running but some were hurt and couldn't move." the volcano's rising plume is disrupting air travel. volcanic ash is raining down on
5:17 am
hundreds of rescuers below. they face danger from nearly continuous seismic activity and the looming threat of another big eruption possible in the coming days. "please, help us" says this man. his son and girlfriend reached the summit just minutes before noon saturday just when ontake blew its top. both are still missing. now tokoro sits on the floor of this evacuation center waiting. "all i can do is beg for your help to get us information," he says, "please." as each hour passes, desperation grows. families are waiting for word on their loved ones who were dangerously close to a sleeping volcano that suddenly woke up. you can imagine the agony those families are going through tonight. lot of them are staying in evacuation centers sleeping on the floor as they're waiting for updates on their loved ones. they found more than 30 people
5:18 am
who were very close to the summit of the volcano in what authorities are calling cardiac arrest, meaning they weren't breathing, they had no pulse and they've been in that situation now for more than 24 hours, but they still haven't brought all of them down from the mountain yet. they have to carry them three kilometers. the summit is 10,000 feet up. it will be a gruellingard use process. rescues are risking their own safety because as you mentioned the volcano is still active. we've seen a series of small eruptions and there are warnings we could see another big one within the next six days. >> you and the crew take good care there and our thoughts going to all those families there. that just rips you up seeing that poor man. thank you so much, will ripley, we appreciate it. we want to get a check of some of the other top story this is morning as well. police telling cnn charges against alton nolan will be presented tomorrow.
5:19 am
