wireless. people running in and out looting that story. some people threw rocks and bottles. the sound of gun shots rang out several times sunday night. we had to take cover. all of this started as a peaceful march sunday for michael brown's sunday. >> you took my son away from me. do you know how hard it was for me to get him to stay in school and graduate? do you know how many black men graduate? not many because you bring this down this type of level where they feel like i ain't got nothing to live for anyway. they are going to take me out anyway. >> michael brown's mother there and you hear the rawness of the emotions that came into view after the shooting of mike brown and these images that you see here, the police response that followed, many people complained that that police response was too heavy handed and that it only served to escalate the
1:05 am
continued violence that we saw in the coming weeks, but again keep in mind there were also peaceful protests. i want to show you those as well. the peaceful protests, in many cases, took a backseat to the violence that we saw overnight, but hundreds of people, if not thousands of people, took to the streets to march for many legitimate grievances in that community, some who feel that they are treated unfairly by police officers. others who feel that there is a lack of opportunity in that community and they are demanding changes. those protests continue even to this day with movements that are now set like the black lives matter movement and several others that have taken an online life, but again, the legacy of ferguson, missouri, one year after the shooting of michael brown. as details emerged about mike brown's death, anger swept across the country and that sparked a nationwide movement and discussion of race relations in the united states.

1:07 am
relationship between police and people here particularly in this area? >> i don't think anything has change with this relationship. they are still not engaging their citizens. >> after a department of justice investigation that found that ferguson was disproportionately ticketing their citizens. the new interim police chief is black, so the new city manager and municipal judge and two new city council members. >> what's left to protest? >> you can use the analogy of weeds in a garden and for some people you can pull all these weeds out but if you still have one there, then the weeds can grow back again. >> to some protesters, the mayor is the weed that must be removed. they see the interim titles as a temporary smoke screen.
1:08 am
>> we are moving forward. our city is getting better. that will not happen overnight. destruction is immediately. change is hard and takes time. >> those ashby says he is not blind to racial disparities in america. >> it's hard to say that our society values african-american lives as much as white lives. >> he isn't the only one that worries the small sliver could tear the movement further. >> if we're not out shouting at the cops and threatening to rape their families then somehow we are not really committed to the cause of social justice. >> back on canfield drive, a plaque serves as a reminder of what happened here, trying to make a point that this wasn't just about brown's delingt but the rebirth of a civil rights movement. >> it affected the world in good sense because it did make people motivated to speak up, to
1:09 am
march, to rally torque fight for change. turn to cnn.com to hear more from residents of ferguson, missouri, today, how a protester and politician explain the social and political changes they have seen since the death of michael brown and the fears of one police officer as he patrols of the streets today. they want the world to know what the situation is now. one year later, you can find that at cnn.com. the shooting of michael brown reinspired a movement in the u.s. known as the black lives matter movement which protests police brutality against african-americans. protest frers that movement took over a campaign rally for democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders on saturday. it prevented him from speaking. >> thank you seattle for being one of the most progressive cities in the united states of america.
1:10 am
>> just seconds after sanders took to the stage, dozens of protesters from the local seattle chapter of that movement jumped on to the stage, taking over the event from the senator, and demanding a moment of silence for slain ferguson teenager michael brown. >> where is your reaction to those protests? >> i think it's unfortunate, among other things, i wanted to talk about the issue of black lives. the fact that the american people are tired of seeing unarmed african-americans shot and killed. >> later that day, at the university of washington, sanders remarked that no president would fight harder to remove the stain of racism in the united states than he would. and presidential candidate donald trump is once again back in the spotlight. on saturday, the republican frontrunner's campaign announced that senior adviser roger stone
1:11 am
was fired. stone insists he quit. he tweeted this. sorry, donald. trump did not fire me. i fired trump. disagree with diversion to foot fight with megyn kelly away from core issue messages. stone is referring to comments that donald trump made about fox news megyn kelly. he disparaged her abilities and quote had blood coming out of her whatever. trump claims he was referring to kelly's nose. earlier, roger stone spoke with poppy harlow. >> i have nothing but respect and admiration for trump. >> you still consider him a friend. >> i do. >> let me read this to you. this is a transcript published today in politico of what they were told happened. i'm going to leave out the expletives in here. stone, you saying, donald, stop with the megyn kelly [ bleep ], it's crazy, it's killing us.
1:12 am
trump, what do you mean? i won the debate. people loved it. you, you didn't know -- you didn't win the debate. look at polling, look at the drudge. >> you won't give me the money to pay for a scientific poll. those are bs polls, donald. we need to run a professional campaign and talk about what people care about. trump, we're winning. is this accurate? >> obviously, i did not tape-record my phone calls. somebody might. >> it's not word for word. is that true? >> i think that's a pretty accurate reflection of my views. now, i'm not going to kill and -- kiss and tell about my advice to donald. my conversations with him are between he and i, but i think that's a fairly accurate reflection of my view. i would submit we should wait a few days and see some scientifically based nononline polls and see how the republican
1:13 am
race has been affected. >> because of the controversy, trump was disinvited from a key conservative political event held saturday here in atlanta. for his opponents on the campaign trail, his explanation about the remarks is hardly sufficient. fellow hopeful carly fiorina said on twitter, mr. trump, there is no excuse with periods for every word for emphasis. lindsey graham said the comments are not worthy of the office he is seeking. he also called the remarks unrelenting and offensive, and mike huckabee told our mark preston that trump should apologize. >> thank you very much. megyn kelly was a colleague of mine for six and a half years when i was at fox, she's one of most remarkable people i know. intellectually unspased. she has great integrity.
1:14 am
i'm going to stand for megyn kelly. >> do you think he was inappropriate? did he cross the line with that comment? >> i would certainly never say anything about a person like that, and i hope he apologizes because i think that he should. >> will he apologize or won't he? we'll find out. we'll hear from donald trump again for the first time since his inflam tory comments on cnn that got him osu ted --ous ted from that event. he's set to speak on state of the union right here on cnn. now to the iran nuclear deal and the u.s. lawmakers who will vote on it. 22 democrats are in israel right now. 36 republicans will arrive there tonight. their visit comes in the middle of an intense lobbying battle over this deal. lawmakers have until september 17th to either approve or reject this agreement. republicans who controlled both the house and the senate say
1:15 am
they have enough votes to block the deal. if that happens, u.s. president barack obama has promised to veto the measure. congress would then have a chance to override his veto, but that take a 2/3 majority vote in both chambers. that's something that rarely happens in this country. to do that, republicans will need to attract the support of at least 10 of the 44 democrats in the senate. still the u.s. president is trying to rally support of the iran agreement. earlier he told cnn that the deal would benefit both the united states and israel. listen. >> if in fact my argument is right, that this is the best way for iran not to get a nuclear weapon, then that's not just good for the united states, that is very good for israel. >> it is an intense debate that has a back and forth that reaches to israel and that's where we find cnn orren lieberman joining us now with this story.
1:16 am
the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has been one of the most outspoken critic of this deal. this seems like the golden opportunity to swing some of the votes to his favor. >> and he absolutely knows it, george. he knows he has 22 democrats here. if he can swing a small number of those or influence them and convince them to vote against the deal or at least consider it, his mission here while the democrats are here has been accomplished. the iran deal is certain to come up because everyone knows how critical of a time it is. there's five week until that september 17th vote. netanyahu has been lob bish -- lobbying against it. he knows he has those democrats here. those republicans are on their way. they should be here later today and this is his opportunity to try to make a difference. george, he knows he has a very
1:17 am
difficult task ahead of him. but he's trying to swing those votes to the republican side and this is one of his opportunities to do so. >> the prime minister made no bones about it. he does not like this deal. 36 republicans arrive in israel today. like mr. netanyahu, they stand against the deal. what is on their agenda and how could this shape the iran deal moving forward? >> so just like the democrats, it's very much expected that the republicans will also talk about the iran deal with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. one interesting thing on their agenda is a joint press conference with all 58 congressmen. it will be very interesting to see what comes out of that press conference. they could stay entirely away from the iran deal without getting into the politics and the controversy and the importance surrounding that deal on foreign soil, but if they say anything about the iran deal, it will be very interesting to track what they say and to see

in ferguson, missouri, and the death that sparked this. and japan pauses to remember the victims of the atomic bomb attack on nagasaki 70 years ago to this day. from cnn world headquarters here in atlanta, i'm george howell. this is cnn "newsroom." ♪ ♪ good day to you and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. we began this hour with the iran nuclear deal. a large group of u.s. lawmakers visiting israel to discuss the matter. 22 democrats are in israel right now and 36 republicans will arrive tonight. their trip comes amid an intense lobbying battle over the iran nuclear deal which congress has until september to either approve or reject. israel's prime minister has vig or rously opposed this agreement as have several members of the
2:02 am
u.s. congress. meanwhile, president obama has been trying to rally support for the deal. listen. >> the reason that mitch mcconnell and the rest of the folks in his caucus who oppose this jumped out and opposed it before they even read it, before it was even posted, is reflective of an ideological commitment not to get a deal done. >> you don't think that's -- >> in that sense, they do have a lot in common with hard liners who are much more satisfied with the status quo. >> it is a political back and forth that certainly has some weight there in israel and to jersey we go with -- jerusalem we go with orren lieberman. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been one of the most outspoken critic of iran nuclear deal. this seems to be the golden opportunity for him to try to swing votes in his favor. >> you are exactly right there.
2:03 am
he has 22 democrats there. they arrived last week. he will meet with them morning, this afternoon, he will have a chance to give his side of the iran deal. if he can swing even a few of those 22 votes, make them agree with his position, make them vote against the iran deal, this trip has to be considered a victory for prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he has push against this deal, lobbied against this deal, fought this deal from the very beginning, from the framework agreement to the final agreement, even thou he's shifted to his goal to congress. he knows his chances for victory here may be slim but he's still pushing that focus is on congress where he has the democrats here, the republicans on their way and certainly the iran deal will come up and prime minister benjamin netanyahu will make his case. knows with about five weeks to go until that september deadline for the deal, for congress to vote on the deal, every day is critical and every opportunity is critical to sway in any way votes that he can. he will use the opportunity likely to try to sway some of those 22 democrats to see if he can get them to vote against the
2:04 am
deal. george, prime minister benjamin netanyahu, president obama both know how critical each one of these votes is. >> certainly a lot of attention on those democrats. let's talk about the 36 republicans that are set to arrive in israel today. the republicans stand against the deal. what is on their agenda and how could this shape the deal moving forward? >> it's certainly expected that they too will meet with prime minister netanyahu. who will bring up the iran deal. it's a much easier sell. republicans generally agree with him. what's interesting is right on their agenda tomorrow morning is a joint press conference between the republicans and the democrats. it will be fascinating to see what comes out of this press conference. they could completely avoid talking about the iran deal and avoid staying away from that controversy and politics. if they say anything about the iran deal, it could give us some indication about what they are
2:05 am
thinking and has this trip for the democrats or republicans swayed any votes in favor of prime minister benjamin netanyahu or do they side more with president obama? >> interesting back and forth happening there. cnn's orren lieberman joining us live from jerusalem. thank you so much. we turn to the united states. today in the state of missouri, people there and likely across this nation are marking one year since a police officer shot and killed michael brown an unarmed african-american teenager. >> don't shoot! hands up! don't shoot shoot! >> michael brown's family and friends marched in saturday on ferguson, his father led that walk. the crowd is expected to gather later today at the spot where the 18-year-old was shot and killed. by that officer. they will hold a moment of silence and then a silent march. the shooting outraged and divided not only the city of ferguson but also much of the nation trans fixed on much of
2:06 am
the images you see here in the days and weeks that follows. some of the protests turned violent. officer darren wilson was ultimately cleared in that shooting. a number of city officials were replaced following the uproar. that included the ferguson police chief. our sarah sidener sat down with the police chief to get his take on what transpired after the shoot scpg his thoughts on the police department. >> i just really wish we had peace. we don't need this. no one needs this. it's not just the police officers i'm concerned about. i'm concerned about everyone. >> this is the man leading perhaps the most scrutinized police department in america right now. the ferguson, missouri, police department. the city where an explosion of anger against police tactic erupted a year ago when officer darren wilson killed unarmed teenager michael brown after the two scuffled at the police vehicle. when you were looking from afar at what was happening here in ferguson one year ago, what was
2:07 am
your take on all that was going on here in ferguson? >> it bothered me. it really did. >> what was it that bothered you? what disturbed you? >> to see the divide that was evident in this community. that's what bothered me. it just didn't feel like we should be this way in america. but i understand that there are differences and i wanted to be part of making a change. >> failure to p disperse may result in arrest and other other actions. >> that change coming in big part after the streets of ferguson looked more like a war zone than small city america. protesters took to the streets for more than 100 days straight with sometimes violent outbursts. their persistence influencing the department of justice to investigate. the investigation cleared officer darren wilson in the shooting but issued a damning report on the department as a
2:08 am
whole. saying it helped create the racial tensions but unfairly targeting, searching, and ticketing black people to help fill the city's coffers. what happens if your bosses say we need you to is generate more money, ticket more people. what will you say to them? >> i won't do that. they won't do that either. i've had conversations about the new leadership. i didn't sign up as a police officer to go out and write tickets to jern rate funds. that is not our job. >> this year, a new law has been passed to stop missouri cities to stop using their police departments as atms. for ferguson that means a reduction from a maximum of 30% to 12.5% of its operating revenue. his officers are eager to move forward. black officers have been hired but still only make up 10% of the force while the community
2:09 am
they serve is 67% black. >> does ferguson have a racist view? is there a problem within the department? >> i think that in the department, there are individuals and factions that don't understand the community, but in fact there have been some issues with respect to having race problems. there has been. and i think that the police department is doing a good job, has done a good job at getting rid of people that have caused those types of problems. >> that was our sarah sidener reporting there. i was in ferguson just hours after that shooting to report for cnn and the next half hour i'll bring you thoughts and images of what it was like just hours after that shooting, to cover that event, the moment where things boiled over in this situation from ferguson, missouri, resonated and was seen around the world. now to the latest controversy surrounding u.s. presidential candidate donald trump. on saturday, the republican
2:10 am
front runners campaign announced that senior adviser roger stone was fired. but stone insists he resigned. his departure comes a day after trump made disparaging comments about fox news anchor megyn kelly. he spoke with poppy harlow to give his side of the story. >> i resign because i fell i was having no campaign and the campaign was diverted from those big picture issues. >> can you take us into what happened behind closed doors. the camp says you were fired. you were not fired. you resigned. when exactly did it happen. take us into this room. >> i made a decision this morning i was having no impact and i email a letter to donald saying that i wished him the very best. that i would have nothing negative to say about him or his campaign. when you are in a campaign, you are in a situation where you have a lot of confidential
2:11 am
information and i have no intention of talking about internal campaign deliberations or who said what to whom. all i can really do at this point is offer my advice and how i view the way the campaign should go forward. >> so you sent a letter, an email. >> correct. >> what did you hear back? >> i didn't hear anything back. i was called by a washington post reporter early this afternoon who told me that trump said that i had been fired, which is inaccurate. >> 35 years you've been very close friend of donald trump. >> i've been to two of his three weddings. i went to both his parents' funerals. his sister mary ann trump berry is a very good friend. >> do you still consider him a friend. >> yes, i do. >> interesting conversation. donald trump is trying to explain those remarks about megyn kelly though he isn't backing down from them. let's take a listen to what he said on friday that has been causing this dust up. >> she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of
2:12 am
ridiculous questions, and, you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever, but she was in my opinion she was off base. >> trump now claims he was referring to kelly's nose. other presidential candidates have condemned his comments and some are calling for him to apologize. cnn political commentator ben ferguson gives us his thoughts on how fellow republicans should respond to trump's latest controversy. >> if you are one of these campaigns and if i was advising one of them, i've work on presidential campaigns before you don't really want to get down in the mud with donald trump. it doesn't work well. it's not presidential. it takes you off message. and he's one of those guys that you want to stick to what you are doing and you realize this is a marathon. we are far away from election day, so let's let donald trump do what he does and hopefully he
2:13 am
will implode. then he made these comments last night on cnn and said she is basically being rude and mean to me because she was on her menstrual cycle, i think that's one of those moments when other campaigns are going are you kidding me? what in the world is wrong with donald trump and i think you'll see in the polls this week that more than likely he will start to dip because people are going to look at this and said if every person that challenges him, they are automatically discarded and name called, the way that donald trump does toward anyone who challenges him, including a reporter, how in the world can he work together with congress or foreign leaders if he was the president? we'll continue to follow all of the candidates, including donald trump, here on cnn. china has been bearing the brunt of tropical storm soudelor. it made landfall there on saturday with strong waves but weakened as it made its way inland. so far, there have been no deaths reported in china, but this afternoon the case in
2:14 am
taiwan when the typhoon hit. it killed at least five people. this storm heads inland, the threat for mudslides and flooding continues for southeastern china. let's turn to our meteorologist derek van damme who is tracking this storm. >> some of the out are bands that reached the shore of china, just south of the shanghai region, caused flooding already. we expect conditions to deteriorate in the shanghai region because of the remnants of this typhoon. you can see some of the flooding that's taking place in the province just to the south of shanghai. this is all associated with the same storm system and it's not only the heavy rainfall but it was the impressive wave heights that crashed into the shoreline along the southeast china coast. take a look at this. that's about four or five stories high. you can see the building on the right-hand side of this tv
2:15 am
screen. here's the rainfall totals. fuju, into the province, set a 24-hour rainfall record. 270 millimeters, but that was nothing in comparison to what they experienced in taiwan. measuring not in millimeters, in meters, in the lan region, that was a recorded of 1.3 meters of rainfall. this man fortunately rescued from the mudslides that ensued thanks to all the heavy rainfall. this eight-year-old young girl also plucked from the mudslides out of that region as well. now, our latest computer models indicating this storm continues north to northwesterly trek at least the next 24 hours. it's a significantly weaker tropical disturbance. as we go forward monday and tuesday, it starts to trek north and east. there are some winds that will
2:16 am
help bring the precipitation to the northeast sides of china. shanghai, maybe an additional 200, 250 millimeters of rainfall over the next 48 hours. that could lead to localized urban flooding. here's the three-day forecast for shanghai. 100% probability of rainfall. this particular system, this typhoon was responsible for setting an all-time record high temperature in hong kong. 36.3 degrees and that is all thanks to the heat that starts to encompass these large typhoons just like this one. >> and it seems the storms are just getting stronger and stronger. >> it could be affiliated with a stronger el nino that we keep talking about, the warming of the pacific waters and we tend to see the increase in frequency and the severity of typhoons just like this. >> thank you so much. >> thanks, george. you are watching cnn "newsroom." frustration and confusion ahead. the search for debris from mh

teenager, michael brown shot and killed on saturday by a ferguson police officer. we watched as a struggle played out sunday night. some protesters who took to the streets, trying to keep the peace while taking a stand against police. >> this is really a peace march. it's nothing to start to hurt a police officer. this is all about peace. >> it's not a peace march i mean, you hear what's happening. you see these confrontations between people and police officers. >> yes, it has done got outrageous. >> others who simply came to cause trouble. >> police are still stationary right now. i want to show you what's happening over that that j.c. wireless. people broke through the glass. people running in and out looting that story. security video captured the frenzy of storms being looted. some people threw rocks and bottles. the sound of gun shots rang out several times sunday night. we had to take cover.
2:34 am
all of this started as a peaceful march sunday for michael brown's family. >> you took my son away from me. do you know how hard it was for me to get him to stay in school and graduate? do you know how many black men graduate? not many because you bring this down to this type of level where they feel like i ain't got nothing to live for anyway. they are going to take me out anyway. >> very raw emotions of a mother who lost her sons hours after the shooting of mike brown and in the days and weeks to follow, this, these images of very heavy police force, many critics say that the heavy handed police force actually escalated the situation there but keep in mind there were many riots and also police officers who found themselves the subjects of bottles and rocks being thrown at them. keep in mind rg during the daytime we saw a lot of this, there were peaceful protests
2:35 am
that took place in ferguson and really around the united states at the same time the world was watching. these peaceful protests were people shared and aired valued grievances in these communities that people feel that there's a lack of opportunity. they feel that they are treated differently, unfairly by police officers. all of this sparked from this date a year ago to this day. the shooting death of michael brown and there would be subsequent police-involved shootings to follow, but all of them really, we find that the movement started on that day. in the u.s. state of south carolina, grieving parents are demanding answers after their son was shot and killed by police. the unarmed teenager was killed in a fast food parking lot during a drug investigation. nick valencia looks into this one. >> the seneca police department calls it a justified shooting. saying their officer feared for his life, but the parents of
