9:01 pm
i'm errol barnett, this is "cnn newsroom". now protesters are gathered in ferguson, missouri after a local official there declared a state of emergency. demonstrators have been marking the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of michael brown, an unarmed african-american teenager shot by a white police officer. police say protesters are throwing frozen water bottles at them and warned the crowd of possible arrests. >> it's been one year since michael brown was killed. the situation there is clearly still tense. earlier about 200 protesters marched from a church to the federal courthouse in st. louis. police arrested 56 protesters there. now the anniversary of brown's death began very peacefully. but then chaotic later on into the night when shots were fired. listen. [ shots fired ]
9:02 pm
>> frightening moment for so many people. you see some folks ducking down. police say a 18-year-old was critically wounded. we're joined from ferguson, missouri. there was a long way to go in healing the racial divide, but how are things going? >> reporter: that's a tough question right there. because obviously there's a lot going on just under the surface. we saw that bubble up. a lot of people are saying that the violence that happened had nothing to do with the protest. that was a few men who had another beef started shooting at each other. but you can feel people's anger. tonight we haven't seen a lot of protesters hitting the streets. tonight there's less than six people behind me.
9:03 pm
some have signs. but this is a lot different than what we saw sunday night. rapid gunfire followed by running and fear. you can see the panic rise in the crowd. the peaceful protest for michael brown turned to violence sunday night. the interim police chief was in the middle of an interview when the anger across the street boiled over. >> we want to be as peaceful as possible. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: detectives rushed to surround tyrone harris. they say thouey were fired upon. police say he was carrying a stolen gun. >> back up! >> there were four officers who were in that van. all four fired at the suspect. and the suspect fell there.
9:04 pm
>> reporter: harris' aunt told cnn he wasn't carrying a gun and was running from the gunfire. the crowd's anger turned toward police. >> we're ready for war! >> we're ready for war! >> reporter: the shooting pushed police and protesters into a standoff. three officers were injured, one hit in the face by a brick. monday afternoon, the city of ferguson released a statement about the shooting. we are deeply disappointed with the violence that took place last night. this kind of behavior from those who want to cause disruption and destroy the progress 3r this past year will not be tolerated. >> do your job! >> reporter: but a year after michael brown was shot and killed by officer darren wilson, the tensions remain high. some were arrested in st. louis. they were calling for the dismantling of the police
9:05 pm
department. there was frustration with the all-too-familiar scenes. >> i think this is just another tragic reminder that weapons in an already wounded community is a recipe for disaster. >> and as you say in your report, there, these scenes of shootings and protester clashes, in the wake of the shooting of michael brown, the department of justice did find that they exhibited this of patented action against african-americans of. >> reporter: we have had an election here. we've seen a changeover from an all-white elected officials to having some african-americans part of the electoral process. we're also seeing the court system change. but there are people who say enough's enough. they want to see the police
9:06 pm
department go away. we did see protesters take to the highway just this afternoon and block the road. there were drivers who were no longer going to sit in their car and let people block the road. some started driving through the crowd and you could see protesters kicking their car as they went through. so a lot of tension remains in this community. >> ryan young joins us from ferguson. thanks. and we do want to show you recent images from ferguson, missouri where even though some of the clashes have ended, you do see a large presence of people outside. and in the wake of michael brown from last year, i think people really feel the importance of having their cameras out, recording interactions with police, because what's underlying all of that is the distrust between police behavior and how communities of color feel like they are being treated. >> and it has renewed the conversation about police officers wearing the body cameras, but safety is a top priority in that community.
9:07 pm
you remember a few months ago we saw buildings and offices burned down, obviously, a lot of people do not want a repeat of that. but the protesters started up very peaceful after michael brown was honored at 12:02 in the afternoon, marking the time he died, august 9, 2014, and all of a sudden last night turned violen violent. we heard gunshots. and we are working to get one of our reporters who is on the ground there in ferguson, and we will bring him up as soon as we have him. okay, on to another story. u.s. presidential candidate donald trump is defiant about not apologizing to tv host megyn kelly. he says she should apologize to him. this comes after a controversial remark he made. >> many who heard the comment think that trump implied that
9:08 pm
she was tough on him because she was men straightening. trump denies that. and on monday night kelly gave what may be the last word on this controversy on her program. here's a clip of what she said. >> apparently, mr. trump thought the question i asked was unfair and felt i was attacking him. i felt he was asked a tough, but fair, question. we agree to disagree. mr. trump did interviews over the weekend that attacked me personally. i've decided not to respond. mr. trump is an interesting man who has captured the attention of the electorate. that's why he's leading in the polls. trump, who is the front runner will not apologize. and i will not apologize. >> firestorms and controversy are now the norm for donald
9:09 pm
trump's candidacy. >> hillary clinton, the u.s. democratic presidential contender is condemning trump's comments and calling out other republican candidates on women's rights. jeff zeleny has more. >> what donald trump said about megyn kelly is outrageous. >> reporter: donald trump now spilling out into the democratic primary. >> megyn kelly is a strong woman and more than capable of defending herself against donald trump. i'm worried about what republican policies would do to the rest of america's women and i will continue to speak out about that. >> reporter: today in new hampshire, clinton weighed in for the first time on trump's remarks. >> if you focus on the biggest showman, you lose the thread. the thread here is that the republicans are putting forth some very radical and offensive positions when it comes to
9:10 pm
women's lives. >> reporter: she blasted the full republican field saying all women should be on alert over the opposition's position on abortion rights, even in the face of incest and rape. >> i think they should be going after him, the republican party's going to have to deal with him. i don't want that forgotten, so yes, i know it makes great tv. i think the guy went way overboard, offensive, outrageous, but what marco rubio said has as much of an impact on where the republican party is today. >> reporter: she has known trump for years. she tried to distance herself from trump today. >> i didn't know him that well. i mean, i knew him. and i happened to be planning to be in florida, and i thought it would be fun to go to his wedding, because it's always entertaining. now that he's running for
9:11 pm
president, it's a little more troubling. >> reporter: she came to new hampshire to unveil a plan to rein in student lonee loans. >> we need to make it affordable to everyone without saddling them with decades of debt. >> reporter: what's also troubling, trump's surging populari popularity. jeff zeleny, cnn, exeter, new hampshire. all right, we want to update you on the situation in ferguson. one of our reporters, jason carroll is on the scene. we saw gunshots in ferguson last night. there have been arrests there tonight as far as i understand. set the scene for us now. >> reporter: several arrests, zain, that happened about 45 minutes ago right where we are. we are on a street called west
9:12 pm
florissant. what we are experiencing right now, on one sieftd street we have a number of protesters out here, on the other side of the street you can see still a significant number of mens of st. louis county police as well as state troopers trying to keep the peace. and for most of the night that's what happened out here actually. they were able to do that until at a certain point a small number of protesters went into the middle of the street. they repeatedly received warnings to get out of the street. when that didn't happen, that's when law enforcement moved in and made several arrests. again, and there were some tense moments at that point. some rocks and bottles were thrown. you can see from some of the tape that we're able to feed in to you, you can see exactly what happened as officers moved in and made those arrests, and shortly thereafter the protesters went about doing what they set out to do, talking about their anger. they feel that in the year since
9:13 pm
michael brown's death they have not seen enough change and they are venting some frustration. some are out here to cause problems, but what we're seeing out here is even a year after michael brown's death, there's still so much work that needs to be done in this community. >> and you just mentioned that people think that not enough change has happened. that they still don't like the way black men are treated by police officers in that community. but i'm just curious. from the people you've spoken to, what do people make of the small changes, the small sort of progress that's been made, especially when it comes to the hiring of more african-americans in the ferguson police department? >> reporter: i think for some people it's too little too late, not enough. they're still looking for more. i think they're looking for more representation in the police department, not just in the police department but on the school board, throughout city government. and i think we saw, what i think a lot of people would like to
9:14 pm
see is more interaction. they want police to listen to them. and we did see some of that out here tonight. there was one community activist out here engaging with a member of the state police, talking to them, trying to sort out who might be in the crowd causing problems. so we did see some of that interaction. i think there are a fnumber of people in this community who would like to sigh moee more of. if you're going to be realistic about the situation here, you can't expect decades of ill feelings between this community and the police to be solved in one year. it's just simply going to take time, zain? >> of course a few months ago, we saw a lot of violence, a lot of looting, a lot of burning. that community still hasn't been rebuilt from that point, so hopefully we don't see more unrest, especially violent unrest. jason carroll, live for us in
9:15 pm
ferguson, we appreciate that, thank you. >> and we will, of course, update our viewers if there's more news out of ferguson tonight. when we come back, a disaster in the u.s. state of colorado, we'll have more on huge concerns raised over contaminates that turned this river yellow. stay with us. watch as these magnificent creatures take flight, soaring away from home towards the promise of a better existence. but these birds are suffering. because this better place turned out to have a less reliable cell phone network, and the videos on their little bird phones kept buffering. birds hate that. so they came back home. because they get $300 from switching back to verizon, and so can you! verizon. come home to a better network.

fighter planes deployed to turkey as a part of the ongoing war on isis. meantime in neighboring syria, the civil war is wearing the country down. president bashar al assad's army is fighting rebels and isis. >> they're fighting two wars on both fronts, and for civilians caught in the middle, there are no signs of relief. >> reporter: the syrian military continues to be increasingly strained. and even president bashar al assad has admitted that they may have to retreat from areas to shore up other places. it is causing a strain here in the capital of damascus. what we're seeing are severe shortages of fuel. it takes an hour to two hours to actually get gasoline at gas station. also, there are power cuts throughout the city various times during the day. one of the other things that's
9:21 pm
also happened is with the pace that isis has been going and the gains that isis has been making against the syrian military, there are a lot of internally displaced people coming to the population centers, some of them near the mediterranean coast but also to the capital of damascus. you're seeing people, especially minorities coming from places like palmyra, also from towns recently taken by isis and putting a big strain on the syrian government to make sure that these people find a place to stay and that they have enough food, water and medication. and also on the many aid groups working here in the syrian capital and in other parts of the country. nevertheless, you don't get the sense that people believe that the regime is on the verge of chancing. while there have been setbacks, most people here in damascus believe that bashar al assad is not going to go away anytime soon. >> and over the next few days,

9:24 pm
chapo. >> reporter: the first thing is that the federal government sees last march, they have information that people of el chapo was looking for the blueprints of the prison. so of course that information should create an alert for the government to think what, what el chapo wants with these blueprints. >> now according to the documents, the surveillance camera inside guzman's cell had audio where construction noises could be heard and what makes this suspicious is that this is el chapo's second escape. >> how could they not have heard him drilling away there or heard his people, rather, drilling away. the u.s. coast guard has seized more than 29,000,29,000 kilograms or for our american viewers, 66,000 pounds of cocaine, one of the largest

population growth is due in part to advancements made in health care. it's allowing people po live much longer lives than spekted earlier. but that's happening in very poor nations. that's a problem. >> that is a problem. we are seeing growing longevity. the aids epidemic is waning. but population is expected to grow from 1.2 billion today to upwards of 4 billion by the end of the century. so we're going to see a tremendous amount of population growth in africa, particularly in sub-saharan africa. >> this will put a huge strain on resources and already developing nations, the study also show the that the population of india is set to surpass that of china. they both already have 1 billion people. what kind of challenges will this pose for the international community as we all discuss and
9:54 pm
figure out ways to share the limited resources we have? >> there are two real population concerns. one is a global concern about resources. and that includes fossil fuels, but also water and includes metals and minerals and other materials that are a worldwide concern. but when you talk about india and sub-saharan africa and population growth in those countries, the great other concern is what that means to alleviate hunger, to manage water scarcity, to address issues like deforestation, but political instability and conflict. >> what would be your recommendation, i'm wondering, to address these very serious issues. china's one-child policy, very controversial. and human rights groups have said that for a long time, that it's not helpful, it has all
9:55 pm
these societal fefkts. >> the good news is that coercion is not necessary to see a very substantial reduction in fertility. we've seen in many countries throughout east asia i have substantial reductions of fertility that do not have any element in coercion whatsoever. the challenge in many countries, particularly the poorest today, is that child marriage is oftentimes very prevalent. and if a girl gets married at the age of 8 or 9 or 12 or 13, and a male dominated society, she will have little say about how many children she will have. and that's becoming a very substantial obstacle to reduction fertility in those countries. we also need to increase the supply of contraception in developing countries, but we lass have to address these gender issues which are keeping fertility rates high and keeping them unsustainably high. >> the world is getting more
9:56 pm
crowded. we need to figure out more ways of working together and helping. great to chat with you. joining us from d.c. >> thank you very much. >> it's an important question. you've got limited resources and juste su such a massive growth spurt. >> it's a huge challenge for this generation and the upcoming ones as well. >> i'm zain asher. >> and i'm errol barnett. we're staying comfortable. we hope are you too. we will be back with more of the world's biggest stories. ...become especially important. from the makers of one a day fifty-plus. new one a day proactive sixty-five plus. with high potency vitamin b12... ...and more vitamin d.

10:01 pm
this is "cnn newsroom." protesters confront of police in ferguson, missouri for a second night. police say demonstrators threw frozen water bottles and rocks at them. it's one year after the death of michael brown. >> the mood there is still very tense. about 200 people marched from a church to the federal courthouse in st. louis. police arrested 56 protesters there, a demonstration began peacefully sunday, but then turned chaotic when shots were fired. listen to this. [ gunshots ] >> our jason carroll is in ferguson, missouri right now. last hour, he described the
10:02 pm
scene there. >> reporter: we on a street called west florissant. if i can show you what we are experiencing, on one side of street we still have a number of protesters out here. on the other side of street you can see still a significant number of police and troopers trying to keep the peace. they were able to do that until at a certain point, a small number of protesters went into the middle of the street. they repeatedly received warnings to get out of the street. when that didn't happen, that's when law enforcement moved in and made several arrests. there were some tense moments at that point, some rocks and bottles were thrown. you can see from some of the tape that we were able to feed into to you, you can see exactly what happened. and then shortly after, the protesters went about doing what they set out to do, which is talking about their anger. they feel that in the year since
10:03 pm
michael brown's death, not enough has been done. they're looking for more change. they're not seeing that. and they're venting some of their frustration. >> that's our jason carroll reporting on some of the small possibilities of violence. we'll ask sara sidner now, she reports on sunday evening's violence and how it echoed a year ago with key differences. [ gunshots ] >> reporter: a barrage of bullets sent dozens scattering to safety, both protesteres and police. and that included the new interim police chief, forced to take cover as we were recording him. >> we just want to be as patient as possible. [ gunshots ] >> gunfire. >> reporter: the standoff between police and protesters suddenly dissipated after police say a shooting happened.
10:04 pm
this video from at search for swag from twitter made a debut and showed tyrone harris after allegedly returning fire with police. >> almost right at the grill of the car, strikes the hood. three or four times, strikes the windshield four or five times. the plain clothes detectives returned fire from the inside of the van. >> reporter: the chaos was a jarring reminder of what happened along the same street, west florissant, exactly one year ago after the police shooting of michael brown, the police officer later cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury and the department of justice. but this time, protesters acted differently, and so did police, saying it was criminals, not protesters creating the mayhem. police say the suspect shot a plain clothes officer with a stolen .9 millimeter, as word circulated along with the video
10:05 pm
that the person shot was another black man, many left the scene, but some reacted in anger. bottles and bricks were being hurled at officers on the anniversary of brown's death. >> it is truly a tragedy. there is a small group of people out there that are intent on making sure that we don't have peace that prevails. >> reporter: sara sidner, cnn, ferguson, missouri. >> now we want to show you these live pictures coming in to us out of ferguson, missouri. keep in mind, it's just past midnight thayer. we've been watching during sara's report, and we've seen a similar scene to what she described from yesterday and the day before. obtds were thrown. one woman appeared to be struck in the face with some sort of canister. >> she's lying on the ground briefly. >> we do see a number of people that have been detained and cuffed. so there's potentially more arrests happening, but it speaks to the tensions that still exist
10:06 pm
and remain a full year from the deadly incident, and despite all of the government recommendations for change. >> protesters saying they want more significant changes. they've seen superficial changes. more african-americans have been hired in the police department in ferguson, missouri, but they want deeper changes. they want actual, real change between the relationship between young black men in that community and the police officers that deal with them on a daily basis. of course we're going to continue to monitor the situation near ferguson. we will bring you news as and when it happens. we do want to go now to some other stories that we are polle. want to turn to donald trump. many supporters say what they like best about him is that he speaks his mind. he's very direct and honest about what he thinks >> however --
10:07 pm
>> go requewith the but. >> but some think that the latest mess up could cost him the women's vote. >> i don't have time for total political correctness. >> reporter: donald trump remaining defiant, now demanding an apology from fox news megyn kelly. >> she should really be apologizing to me. >> reporter: an apology for a question during the first republican debate that he thought was unfair, so unfair that he described kelly this way. >> you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. blood coming out of her wherever. >> reporter: clearly the blunt gop front runner is showing no sign of moderating his tone, despite his push to court women and hispanic voters, votes crucial to winning the white house in twibts. according to the pugh research
10:08 pm
center, democrats won more of the hispanic vote. the front runner is already undermining the effort. >> if i was a young woman or hispanic watching this debate, i think i'd have been pretty turned off by mr. trump. and the question is, does it bleed over to all of us. >> reporter: more of trump's opponents piling on. >> for a lot of us, it's like watching a car accident instead of focussing on the direction we should be headed. >> reporter: carly fiorina, the lone female gop candidate said there was no misinterpreting his comments. >> women understood and yes, it is offensive. >> reporter: he took to twitter to respond. i just realize that if you listen to carl eyeeye fiorina,
10:09 pm
get a headache. he's trying to defend against jeb bush. >> my dad did this wrong, my brother did this wrong. >> now, as for the woman at the center of trump's latest dust up, megyn kelly, she addressed the controversy on her show on monday night. take a listen to what she said. >> apparently, mr. trump thought the question i asked was unfair and felt i was attacking him. i felt he was asked a tough, but fair question. i certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism. so i will continue doing my job without fear or favor. >> neither party is apologizing. clinton says his remarks on women are no laughing matter,
10:10 pm
calling him out on his comments and keeping the focus on republican track record. >> what a lot of the men said on that stage was offensive. and i want people to understand, if you focus on maybe the biggest showman on the stage you lose the thread here, the thread is that the republicans are putting forth some very radical and offensive positions when it comes to womens lives, womens' reproductive health. we'll let the republicans, you know, go back and forth with each other, but i want to point out, there's really not that much difference in the policies that they are proposing when it comes to american women. >> david gergen joins us now from harvard. he's our cnn political analyst. it is true trump has dominated
10:11 pm
all of the oxygen, all of the headlines for the past few weeks, but meanwhile there have been interesting movements el where, and i want to address that. hillary clinton did address details on making college more affordable. a $450 billion plan she says will be paid for by taxing the wealthy. what do you think is her strategy there? >> i think her strategy is two-fold. there is concern about the cost of university and the debt students are taking with them when they leave. it's bigger than the credit card debt in the united states. so it's a serious problem, and she's trying to present an answer that she hopes will get bipartisan support. there is, of course in the middle of a campaign, there's a heavy political element, what she's doing.
10:12 pm
the coalition that has won two elections for president obama is heavily dependent on getting the votes of the young. and barack obama was exceptionally successful in doing that. but a number of them haven't been able to get jobs, and hillary clinton is trying to rally the millennials as part of her coalition going forward. >> and maybe we'll see hillary clinton getting specific. because in a way, this presumptive nominee is being challenged by bernie sanders. and he is doing what barack obama did years ago, he is gathering huge crowds in stadiums, 28,000 for example in this past weekend, and he's much more progressive than hillary. he's also providing details on platforms to address racial inequality. i just wonder if you think he is quietly inching ahead of hillary while we all pay attention to
10:13 pm
donald trump. >> i don't think he's inching ahead of hillary. if you look at the national polls, she's still 40, 50 points ahead of him. what he is doing is gaining on her in critical early states. he lives in vermont, but if he were to beat her in new hampshire, it's worth remembering history again. this happened to lyndon johnson. and someone well to his left, eugene mccarthy didn't beat him but came close enough that it put a torpedo below the waterline in a lyndon johnson ship. and johnson pulled out. didn't run, and that's what brought in bobby kennedy. and if he does well enough in these early stages, is that going to bring in joe biden? that would be a much more serious threat to hillary clinton and would be divisive for the democratic party. she profoundly hopes he stays at the sidelines.
10:14 pm
but the more he pecks away at her the chances go up. >> many republicans are upset that donald trump is able it to dominate the headlines. he has said his policies are coming, but we are more than a year away from the general election. how specific do, does he need to be here in the next few weeks and months in order to maintain or at least gain legitimacy. >> he is going to need to drill down and begin to answer questions about what would he do no iraq, what's he going to do with israel and egypt and so far and so on. and what's he going to do to grow the economy. it's interesting, errol that after all the hoop-de-do in the last few days in the debate and afterwards which was all about the antics, the behavior of the
10:15 pm
abortionists and narcissism. he said his campaign has now said we're going to issue position papers. they weren't saying that two weeks ago. they're looking at moving toward a little more conventionality, he is thinking of saying he would not run as a third-party d that would be a serious signal. if he said i'm taking that off the board, because that's really what has made republicans very fearful. the kind of support that he's been able to generate, it would be able to wipe out republican chances to win the white house. so they want to keep him off thifd-party ticket. if he pledges not to go third party, that would signal he's much more serious about winning this nomination, and it's going to be an all-out fight. he's not going to go away quickly. >> either way, i think we will remember this as the summer of
10:16 pm

10:25 pm
damascus. what we're seeing is severe shortages of fuel. it takes an hour to two hours to get gasoline. also there are power cuts throughout the city various times during the day. one of the other things that's also happened is with the pace that isis has been going and the gains isis has been making against the syrian military there are also a lot of internally displaced people coming to the population centers, some of them near the mediterranean coast but also to the capital of damascus. you're seeing minorities coming from places like palmyra, also from other towns recently taken by isis and putting a big strain on the syrian government to try to make sure that these people find a place to stay, that they have enough food, water and medication. but also on the many aid groups that are working here in the syrian capital and in other parts of the country as well. nevertheless, we don't get the sense that the people here

all, don trump will be a guest on "new day" in just a few hours from now. for those of you in the states that at 7:00 a.m. eastern time. for those watching internationally we will bring you what he says if it's possibly controversial once again. stay tuned for that. we are following breaking news this hour. we're getting reports that greece at this moment is close to reaching a deal with its international creditors. >> the bailout deal would keep degrees inside the eurozone and avert bankruptcy. a reuters source says some minor details are being hammered out right now and we'll have more on that as more information comes into us. it has been four and a half years since japan has run on nuclear power. but that's about to change.
11:11 pm
kyushu electric power restarted its number one reactor in sendai, japan several hours ago. >> all of japan's nuclear plants have been shut down since the fukushima meltdowns back in 2011 after an earthquake and tsunami. >> it comes after the reactor passed new more stringent safety standards put in place in the wake of the disaster. anna coren joins us with more. anna, despite the new safety regulations there there is a lot of concern, isn't there? talk to us about what people are saying across japan about the restarting of the sendai nuclear power plant. >> reporter: as we know, there is a great deal of opposition in japan about restarting these nuclear reactors. across the country, the reason being is that they fear what
11:12 pm
nuclear power could bring considering the disaster in 2011 with the fukushima daiichi power plant, the meltdown that triggered radiation leaks. and still today there is leaking water that is radioactive that they are obviously working furiously to contain. but it's believed that people who lived in that area will never be able to return because of the high radiation levels. now a recent poll, rosemary, found that more than a half of those who were questioned oppose the restart of nuclear reactors across the country. as you say, this one in sendai has been restarted as of this morning. there are 43 across the country. there is a second nuclear reactor on that sendai site in southwestern japan which the government is hoping to reopen by october. but as we saw scenes at sendai today, huge protests, people
11:13 pm
furious that the government is taking this action and very disappointed about what this could mean. let's listen to one of the protesters at the site. >> translator: firstly these new standards that the abe government has the nuclear register tour agency to agree on has slightly raised the bar but it is full of holes. >> he says it is slightly raising the bar but the government says it has the toughest regulations in place in regards to nuclear power. and it is hoping to restart other reactors across the country in the coming months and years. >> but given the extent of the concerns, why was japan's government or why has it decided to restart the sendai nuclear power plant this particular time? >> reporter: as we know, rosemary, japan has very limited
11:14 pm
energy resources which is why it was so reliant on nuclear power pre-2011, the earthquake and then subsequent tsunami that followed really took out the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant leading to that meltdown and the radiation leak. so its reliance on nuclear power means that it just doesn't have the resources in place to keep japan running. so therefore it needs to import energy, fossil fuels, coal, lpg gas. there is a great deal of reliance on. that as a result, too, of the shutdown of the reactors over the past four years, energy prices amongst households has
11:15 pm
risen. but that doesn't bother the people. they just want to be safe. >> next hour we will get reaction from greenpeace on this particular issue. very interesting. >> a very big deal there. we want to get you to northern syria at this point. the front has pulled out of front-line positions against isis. >> the al qaeda linked group is ceding the front to other areas. >> the group says that turkey's aim is to serve its own national security rather than fight against syria's assad regime. >> for four years the war has been brutalizing the population. >> we are in the capital for "w" a look at life with the growing fear, shortages and heart aches. >> reporter: the military is strained after four years of
11:16 pm
this ongoing civil war and bashar al assad has acknowledged that at times the military will have to retreat from certain areas to make sure they can shore up more important places. now the developments here on the battlefield are also causing a strain here in the capital of damascus. we are seeing severe shortages of fuel. it takes an hour to two hours to get gasoline at gas stations. and there are power cuts throughout the city at various times throughout the day. and with the pace that isis has been going and with the gains that isis has been making there are also a lot of internally displaced people coming to the population centers. some of them near the mediterranean coast, which is a stronghold of assad regime. but also to damascus. you are seeing minorities coming from palmyra and other towns
11:17 pm
taken by isis and it is putting a strain on the syrian government to make sure that they have enough food, water, medication and a place to stay. and on the many aid groups in the capital and other parts of the country as well. we don't get the sense that the people here believe that the regime is on the verge of collapsing. while there have been setbacks, most people here in damascus believe that bashar al assad is not going to go away any time soon. just ahead here on "cnn newsroom" you will hear from a refugee who ends up in france after traveling through ten countries from syria but life is not how he had envisioned it. when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day.

11:45 pm
been called a devastating release of contaminants that turned this river yellow. this is the before and the after there. a crew mistakenly spilled 3 million gallons of pollutants from a suspended mine into the river. waters in colorado and new mexico are affected. >> it is completely irresponsible for the epa not to have informed the state of new mexico immediately because they knew that that was going to flow on into the state. and we could have worked faster and harder to minimize the impact on the state. >> authorities are still working to determine just how polluted that river is. it's just hard to believe that it was an environmental agency that did it.
11:46 pm

11:47 pm
notice the colors take away a chunk of land on the immediate coast. we know that 200,000 children have been impacted. 600,000 adults as well. fatalities around 100 people. myanmar is well known for fatalities on the order of 50 to 100,000 in the past. but want to talk about what is happening in the southern united states. a massive area of high pressure has been in place. drought is becoming an issue. but as the heat advisory builds, 13 million people are being impacted. dallas, texas, they saw every day in may with the flooding that took place. they have gone 33 days in a row without any rainfall across portions of dallas, texas. you look at the forecast. improving conditions. 102 fahrenheit improves to 97
11:48 pm
and warms right back up. the heat is continuing across portions of the country. it looks like it will ease a little bit in the coming couple of days but tremendous heat and drought. but interesting to think about that. you might recall. we touched on this for texas in april and may when we had rainfall and storm after storm bringing millions of gallons of water over the region. and now they haven't seen rain for 33 straight days. >> when it rains it pours. >> went it doesn't -- >> hard to predict. >> thanks, see you again soon. coming up, eating food in space got a bit more exciting. >> cheers. >> cheers. that's awesome. good. >> it's good. >> yeah. >> okay. we'll tell you what they're eating and why it's so important, next.

11:54 pm
a retired astronaut. so tell me how much trial and error went into this test before they had that first successful taste of lettuce in space. >> researchers have been growing plants in space for a number of decades. and so what you're seeing is like all that hard work starting to pay off a little bit. we're getting better at it. the plants grow more slowly in space. they have gravity dissension organs in their roots. but in space there is no gravity or soil to speak of. so we have to use the roots growing into a mesh and feeding nutrients through the water and the mesh. and the fact that we can grow something we can harvest is interesting. >> and we're seeing the images
11:55 pm
and video from this first successful taste of lettuce in space. because it is space you are getting nutrients and light. there is a pinkish light, what is its role? >> plant needs light to grow and to flourish. in space, although we have sun through the port holes, the orientation of the spacecraft may not allow that to happen. we use artificial light. what you are seeing is that light that has been optimized for that purpose. >> you get excited about this. i'm a space geek and a nerd. i love this stuff but what does this mean practically? we can book our tickets to mars and be able to eat once we get there? >> this is a small step. we shouldn't get too excited about it. it's neat and interesting and exciting. but we are a long ways from
11:56 pm
being able to grow food in space or on a place like mars. it is possible. we don't know the amount of calories in lettuce. it's pretty darn small. you need a lot of lettuce to sustain the crew. but it is an important step the fact that we are able to grow plants more than one or two at a time and you know, it's a step forward but it's not ground-breaking yet. >> and how did the lettuce taste? >> according to all reports they said it tasted great. a lot of times it's the dressing. >> leroy chou joining us discussing lettuce in space. thanks for your time today. >> looks delicious. you have been watching "cnn newsroom." stick around for the next hour. >> i'm errol barnett. i'm off, rosie's back. stay with cnn.

disaster. donald trump defiant. the white house hopeful insisting he is the injured party after his latest controversial comments. hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church and this is "cnn newsroom." there's renewed tension in ferguson, missouri as protesters mark a year since an unarmed african-american teenager was shot to death by a white police officer. a state of emergency is in effect for a second night. demonstrators took to the streets. police say protesters threw rocks and bottles of frozen water at them. they arrested at least nine people. demonstrators blocked a major highway for about 20 minutes until police forced them to move to the side of the road. and about 200 people marched
12:02 am
from a church to the federal courthouse in st. louis, demanding the justice department take action. police arrested more than 50 protesters there. the latest violence echoed the unrest from a year ago. but there were key differences in the response. and sara sidner reports. >> reporter: a barrage of bullets sent dozens scattering to safety, protesters and police, and that included ferguson's new interim police chief forced to take cover as we were recording him. >> we want to be as patient as possible -- [ gunshots ]. >> we have gunfire. >> the standoff between police and protesters disappated after a shooting happened. this video on twitter may
12:03 am
disturb you. it appears to show tyrone harris after allegedly exchanging fire with police. >> the suspect engages them with gunfire almost at the grill of the car. strike the hood. three or four times. strike the windshield four or five times. the plain-clothesed detectives returned fire from inside the van. >> reporter: it was a reminder of what happened on west florissant one year ago after the police shooting of michael brown, the police officer cleared of wrong doing by a grand jury and the department of justice. but this time, protesters acted differently and so did police, saying it was criminals, not protesters creating the mayhem. police say the suspect shot a
12:04 am
plain-clothed officer. some reacted with anger. on the other end of the street, bricks and bottles were being hurled at officers. >> it is a tragedy. there is a small group of people out there that are intent on making sure that we don't have peace that prevails. >> reporter: sara sidner, cnn, ferguson, missouri. japan's nuclear power industry has been essentially dormant since the meltdowns at the fukushima power plant in 2011. many people in japan are not happy to see the sendai number one reactor fired back up. cnn's anna coren joins us now with more. so talk to us about how concerned some people are about the restarting of japan's sendai nuclear power plant even though
12:05 am
the safety measures now are in place. what are people saying about that? >> reporter: safety measures which the government are saying are the toughest in the world. but as you say, there is great opposition within japan towards the nuclear reactors restarting the 43 nuclear reactors across the country. you are talking about 50 to 60% of the population that were polled opposing restarting reactors. but today they reopened one of the reactors at sendai in southwestern japan. there are two reactors at that site. the government hoping to reopen the second reactor by october. but as you can see from the pictures, huge protests being staged today as people don't want to see a repeat of what happened in 2011 with the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant disaster. we saw that meltdown and the
12:06 am
radiation leaks which meant that no one can live within the vicinity of that area. we're talking about tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people that were affected just around fukushima that was the result of the earthquake and tsunami that came in 2011, obviously destroying the plant and causing that meltdown but people in japan, they know that their country is susceptible to earthquakes and very strong earthquakes and they do not want to see a repeat of the disaster in 2011. let's now have a listen to one of the protesters on the site earlier today. >> translator: firstly, these new standards that the abe government have got the snug regulatory agency to agree upon, the standards have just slightly raised the bar. but in fact it's full of holes.
12:07 am
>> reporter: full of holes and that's why they don't want to see the other reactors reopened. but the government is determined. and the reason being, as we've been discussing is japan's limited energy resources. before the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 japan was reliant on nuclear power for one-third of its electricity. really quite extraordinary. it then shut down all nuclear power plants gradually over the years. and it's only now that they are beginning to restart. but the government hoping that by 2030, that perhaps they'll be able to using up to 20% nuclear power for its electricity. over the past four years, electricity prices have shot up by 25% for households. even more so for businesses and factories. so really, the government seeing nuclear power as part of its future in regards to energy for japan, rosemary.
12:08 am
>> all right, cnn's anna coren reporting there from hong kong. we'll have more on this a little later in the program with a guest from greenpeace to explain some of the concerns a little deeper. let's check some other news now. reuters is reporting that after 23 hours of marathon talks, greek negotiators have reached a deal with international credit force. the multibillion dollar bailout keeps greece in the eurozone and avert bankruptcy. greece needs $94 billion to stave off a total financial meltdown. greece's finance minister says there are a few minor issues left to be worked out. swedish police are investigating a stabbing that left two people dead at an ikea store. it happened an hour west of stockholm on monday. a third person who was named as a suspect was also seriously
12:09 am
wounded. police say they have also arrested another suspect. the motive for the attack is unclear at this time. google is restructuring. the internet search giant has formed an umbrella company dubbed alpha bit which will be led by larry page and sergy brynn. it will oversee google and spinoff companies. the new contains will be free to take risks and develop their own brands. u.s. republican presidential candidate donald trump is facing strong backlash from within his own party for a controversial comment about fox news host megyn kelly. some think trump has hurt his chances of winning the women's vote in 2016. cnn's sarah murray explains. >> i evedon't have time for
12:10 am
political correctness. >> reporter: trump demanding an apology from megyn kelly. >> she asked me very inappropriate questions. she should be apologizing to me. >> reporter: an apology for a question during the first republican debate that he thought was unfair. so unfair that he described kelly as this way. >> to see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her -- wherever. >> reporter: clearly he is showing no sign of moderating his tone despite the republican party's huge push to court women and hispanic voters, votes crucial to winning the white house in 2016. according to the pew research center, women have favored the democrats since the 1980s and democrats fared better with hispanic voters. some of trump's rivals worry the
12:11 am
front runner is undermining that effort. >> if i was a young woman or hispanic i would have been turned off by mr. trump and the question is, does it bleed over to all of us. >> reporter: more opponents piling on. >> for a lot of us it's like watching a car accident instead of focusing on the direction we should be headed. >> reporter: carly fiorina told cnn there was no misinterpreting trump's comments. >> women understood that comment and it is offensive. >> reporter: trump took to twitter to respond. i just realized if you listen to carry fiorina for more than ten minutes straight you develop a massive headache. she has zero chance. trump now trying to change the conversation on the attack again this time against his top rival in the gop field, jeb bush.
12:12 am
>> as for the woman at the center of trump's latest dust up, fox news host, megyn kelly she addressed the controversy on her show on monday night. >> apparently mr. trump thought the question i asked was unfair and felt i was attacking him. i felt he was asked a tough but fair question and i will not apologize for doing good journalism. i will continue doing my job without fear or favor. >> megyn kelly there. hillary clinton the democratic front runner in this election is dismissing donald trump has entertainment but says his remarks are no laughing matter. she is calling him out for his comments and keeping the focus on republicans' track record for women's issues. >> what a lot of the men on that stage and that debate said was offensive. and i want people to understand that if you just focus on maybe
12:13 am
the biggest showman on the stage, you lose the thread here. the thread is that the republicans are putting forth some very radical and offensive positions when it comes to women's lives, women's reproductive health, women's employment and opportunities. we'll let the republicans, you know, go back and forth with each other but i want to point out there's not much difference in the policies that they are proposing when it comes to american women. >> and a reminder, donald trump will be a guest on "new day" later today at 7:00 a.m. eastern and 1:00 p.m. central european time right here on state's exhibit. a violent day in istanbul has prompted a warning from the u.s. government. ahead, we will show you the attacks that raised concerns especially for americans in

a terror attack in istanbul is raising concerns about americans traveling in turkey. two women opened fire on the u.s. consulate there as cnn's barbara starr reports, the attack may have been a response to the heightened u.s. military presence in turkey. >> reporter: gunshots rang out near the u.s. consulate in istanbul as turkish police quickly blocked off the area after two women staged an armed attack. turkish authorities said the women were part of a left-wing militant group. >> the policeman was shouting
12:19 am
drop your bag and the woman was saying i will not surrender. i will avenge the attack. the police warned her again drop your bag or we will have to shoot you and the woman said, shoot. >> reporter: the consulate issued an emergency message warning u.s. citizens to stay away from the area and to exercise caution near large gatherings. it all happened as the first of the heavily armed u.s. f-16 fighters arrived in turkey. the planes now ready to begin airstrikes in syria and iraq. airstrikes in northern syria will be aimed at killing isis. but they will also support kurds known as the ypg, something turkey opposes. >> the only effective force against isis in syria has been the ypg. it's unlikely that the united states will stop fighting with
12:20 am
the ypg. >> reporter: u.s. officials said they will send additional helicopters into southern turkey very soon to be on stand by if any u.s. pilots go down. but the u.s. is willing to take the risk with the helicopters they already have in the region. and what about the u.s. trained and equipped syrian rebels? u.s. officials say they are going to have to figure out what to do with that whole train and equip program. they have a number of additional rebels already in training. where that program is headed is a big question tonight. >> barbara starr reporting there. in neighboring syria, the civil war is wearing the country down. president bashar al assad's army is fighting both rebels and isis. for civilians caught in the middle there are no signs of
12:21 am
relief. fred pleitgen is in the syrian capital with more. >> reporter: the syrian military is strained after four years of this ongoing civil war and president bashar al assad has acknowledged that at times the military will have to retreat from certain areas to make sure that they can shore up more important places. now the developments here on the battlefield are causing a strain here in the capital of damascus. what we're seeing is shortages of fuel. it takes an hour to two hours to get gasoline at gas stations. also there are power cuts throughout the city at various times during the day. and the pace that isis has been going and gains against the syrian military there are a lot of internally displaced people coming to the population centers, some of them near the mediterranean coast which is a stronghold of the assad regime but also to the capital of
12:22 am
damascus. you are seeing people especially minorities from palmyra and other towns and it's putting a strain on the syrian government to make sure that these people find a place to stay and they have food, water and medication. but on the many aid groups that are working here in the syrian capital and in other parts of the country as well. nevertheless, we don't get the sense that the people believe that the regime is on the verge of collapsing. while there have been setbacks, most people here in damascus believe that bashar al assad is not going to go away any time soon. fred pleitgen, cnn, damascus. one soldier was killed when gunmen opened fire on an infantry unit in southeast turkey on tuesday. that is according to a turkish armed forces statement. the statement blames separatist members for the attack.
12:23 am
isis is claiming responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing in iraq. it happened in a busy outdoor market near the city of baquba monday night. 30 were killed and 40 others wounded. officials say a roadside bombing happened in the same area an hour later, killing four people. it's not clear who carried out the second attack. also in iraq, parliament members are expected to vote today on a reform plan that would clear out top government positions. the measures were proposed by the country's prime minister after weeks of demonstrations of iraqis frustrated with corruptions. so, how likely is it that the dramatic reforms announced by iraq's prime minister will be passed and how significant is it
12:24 am
that we are seeing the prime minister propose these bold reforms at this sometime? >> reporter: well, rosemary after years of covering iraqi politics and monitoring the parliament it's difficult to tell how things will go, a lot of predictions that they will have to pass the reforms if the vote does take place today. implementation is a different thing and how that will happen is something that we'll have to wait and see. it's a very significant time. some are describing it as the most historic time in iraq since the 2003 u.s.-led invasion and the changes that came up after that. it's the biggest political shakeup that is being proposed that we are seeing take place now. an iraqi prime minister who is proposing to change a system that has been in place for more than a decade, something that iraqis blame for the current state of affairs in their
12:25 am
country, for a lot of their troubles. and they feel it has failed them. for first time, we're seeing the iraqi politician, a prime minister who has something rare, the backing of the highest religious figure in the country and at the same time, the support of a street movement that is different categories of iraqis not one sect, not one group, many iraqis are supporting him on this. a lot is riding here on haider al abadi's proposed plan hoping it will provide iraqis what his predecessors have failed to provide so far. this is the sound of a people who have simply had enough. iraqis took to the streets in demonstrations, calling for change, political reforms, holding corrupt officials accountable and demanding the basic services that government after government for more than a
12:26 am
decade have failed to restore. the protests were prompted by continuing power cuts as the country faced one of the worst heat waves in recent history. on sunday, haider al abadi in what appeared to be a response to the streets and a call for serious action by iraq's most influential shia cleric announced a series of bold measures. >> it may be the first time that we have a politician who is able to actually change things on the ground rather than just continuing in the same mold as his predecessors. time passes by and nothing changes on the ground. >> reporter: it includes eliminating the senior posts of three vice presidents and three deputy prime ministers. the positions are allocated based on a sectarian and ethnic quota system created by the united states in 2003. but many iraqis feel the system
12:27 am
is ineffective and part of the problem. other measures include cutting back on the costly security allowances provided to officials and more corruption investigations. the proposed steps swiftly approved by the cabinet go to parliament for a vote on tuesday. iraqis on tuesday evening again took to the streets of iraq in support of abadi. >> the protesters are not going to go away even if they hear the words they want to see action on the ground. that will take time to lay out. it's not something that will happen in the next week or two. it will be a several month process and they are likely to keep the pressure on the government. >> reporter: in a country where political instability and grievances have created ferr fe
12:28 am
ground for terrorism to thrive. all eyes are on baghdad and on the parliament that is expected to meet in the coming hours. >> we know you will be watching this closely, as will we. many thanks to you. still to come here on "cnn newsroom," the resumption of nuclear power in japan meets with vocal protests. a representative for greenpeace will make the case for keeping reactors quiet. leaving the terror behind. coming up, how far a syrian father has traveled to try to build a new life. we're back in a moment.

12:33 am
they will restart propaganda broadcasts there after a hiatus of ten years. japan is rebooting its nuclear power industry. kyushu's sendai number one reactor in southern japan is the first reactor to restart under tighter safety rules. all plants were taken offline after a series of meltdowns at fukushima in 2011 triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami. the restart of the plant is immediating with resistance. joining me now from our tokyo bureau is the energy campaigner for greenpeace japan. thank you for talking with us. i want to get an idea from you how concerned should we be about
12:34 am
japan restarting the sendai nuclear reactor? >> yes, thanks for invite us for your program. and the biggest concern for the restart of sendai reactor one is the nuclear regulatory authority in japan and kyushu electric don't apply the robust standard for the safety assessment for restart. so they disregard the seismic risks and volcano risk as well. and furthermore the sendai reactor is aging reactor. they have a lot of issues relating to the aging reactors. >> so what exactly are the safety risks, do you think? and how would you describe the overall state of japan's nuclear industry right now?
12:35 am
>> yes, so as for the sendai reactors, the nra, the nuclear regulatory authority and kyushu electric the seismic risks near the sendai reactors. japan has many earthquake in history. and that kind of risk applies to all the reactors in japan. >> so if there are so many risks involved in restarting the sendai nuclear reactor why do you think japan's government is restarting it at this time and turning back to the country's nuclear industry to provide the nation's energy for now and indeed for the future? >> yes, the japanese government recently announced that their
12:36 am
energy mix in 2030 and in that target, the abe government says that 22% of the japanese electricity will come from nuclear in 2030. on the other hand, a greenpeace analysis found that the 2 to 8% will come from nuclear. so even if one of the nuclear reactor will restart, the japanese nuclear industry is still in crisis. >> all right, i'd like to thank ai kashiwagi from greenpeace. thanks for joining us and explaining some of the details there. we appreciate it. >> thank you for inviting me. the italian coast guard says it helped rescue more than 1500 migrants off the libyan coast in seven different operations on monday. the italian navy released this
12:37 am
video of one of the rescues where 775 migrants were picked up including women and children. we don't have details on where the migrants are from. the international organization for migration says more than 2,000 migrants and refugees have died trying to reach europe by boat so far this year. keep an eye on that story. many of those migrants are fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries. cnn spoke to one syrian refugee who hopes to reach england. he says he only got as far as france as traveling through ten countries. our kellie morgan has the story. >> reporter: a syrian father of two shows us where he sleeps in calais' so-called jungle. these are his only belongings. so different to what he had. >> translator: i owned my house, also one in damascus. i had a happy life.

12:39 am
stayed for two weeks before boarding a boat bound for greece. after four years in athens, he crossed into macedonia where he took a train to serbia before walking to hungary. from there by car through austria and germany and boarded a train to france, arriving in calais 28 days after he left home. >> when we left turkey we got lost at sea for around seven hours. we nearly drowned several times. on the road from hungary, we encountered gangs, bandits. >> reporter: after traveling more than 5,600 kilometers, this is not the destination abu mohammed envisioned. >> reporter: here at the camp, we sleep on the ground. there's nothing else. they offer us only one meal a day. some charities offer us some help, nothing else. we have to queue up for the bathroom. we have to be there on time
12:40 am
between 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. or you miss out. >> reporter: he still hopes to get to the uk, just 33 kilometers across the english channel. so close yet still so very far. >> translator: i'm not worried about my own life. but i'm worried about the future of the young children who need education. education is important. especially for muslims. it's the path to paradise. >> reporter: a path that for now remains closed. kellie morgan, cnn, calais, france. still ahead, details of a police shooting at a texas car dealership that left this unarmed 19-year-old football player dead. just about anywhere you can use splenda®... ...no calorie sweetener. splenda® lets you experience... ...the joy of sugar...
