and also al jazeera reporters say that please fired tear gas directly at them for doing nothing other than trying to report on the situation. while trying to charge their equipment to the local mcdonald's restaurant, attorney general eric holder took police and protesters to task today saying the violence by members of the public cannot be condoned by the same token and the law enforcement response to these demonstrations must seek to reduce tensions and not heighten him. >> there is never an excuse for violence against police

including vandalism or looting, there is no excuse for police to use force against peaceful protest or two per protesters in jail for exercising their first amendment rights area. ashley: jay nixon did announce today that he was pulling the st. louis county police back in the area in an effort to calm the rising tensions. correspondent mike towbin on the ground and ferguson with our reports. >> protesting the shooting death of 18-year-old michael brown, the unarmed teenager was shot and killed by a ferguson police officer on saturday in the department has not released the officer's name. s.w.a.t. teams launched tear gas and smoke bombs and what many protesters claimed was a peaceful gathering around 9:00 o'clock at night. >> this is no longer a peaceful protest when he tried to injure people. you must disperse now.

>> he was arrested and thrown in jail where he spent the night. >> we have a right to protest peacefully 24 hours a day. [cheers] [applause] tour the racial tension is attracting support from civil rights groups including the new black panthers. president obama called for calm. >> there is never an excuse for violence against police or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. there is also no excuse for police use excessive force against peaceful protest. or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their first amendment rights.

>> we are doing this in blue. >> control is going away from local police. governor jay nixon said that the highway patrol will now command the crowd control. he's black, he's from here, if you can put a new light on things. ashley: thank you very much. much more on the situation with our leading attorney in the broadcast. iraqi prime minister has finally agreed to relinquish power. even after the new iraqi president earlier in the week.

u.s. airstrikes have broken the siege in iraq, another round of airstrikes and clarifying that the u.s. mission in the region is not done. we have more in the report. >> president obama might be saying that the refugee siege is overcome but even he admits that the job is not done. officials here say that they need help in getting down and tens of thousands are swamping refugee camps and obama admitted

that isis remains a threat to the country and we confirm that today in a town not far from here. >> this is a couple of days ago that it was run by isis no tents. but they fought them back. but the residents have a comeback and that is because we have been told that the militants are just a couple of miles outside the city limits all around, signs are the battle. >> they remain a threat in the area and when we were there the convoy was hit by a isis ied and four soldiers were injured. we talked to the commander and he wants the u.s. to continue airstrikes and defend heavy weapons and as for more u.s. boots on the ground, he says that he doesn't need it as long as he did the firepower.

president obama said today that more weapons would be going to the individuals, but small comfort for those who have their hands full. ashley: vladimir putin today adopting a somewhat softer tone during a visit to the crimean peninsula. saying that moscow will do everything in its power to stop the conflict in eastern ukraine. those remarks ringing hollow over an aid convoy but stop short of the ukrainian border and the government leaving that it could be a cover for a military incursion, threatening to use all means available to block this unless the red cross is allowed to inspect the cargo in the israel and hamas conflict has persuaded benjamin netanyahu and his national security team are reckless and untrustworthy.

this according to wall street journal saying that they were blindsided on transfers from the pentagon to the israelis last month and for more on the israeli hamas conflict, rock and the ukraine point in between and i'm joined by the army colonel and military analyst colonel david hunt. thank your for joining us. a lot to talk about and let's go back to iraq. we just had a report and it feels like we are starting to at least make some progress against them. would you agree? >> a couple of things to consider the amount of refugees and we have had over 700 operations soldiers on the ground in iraq.

and they is all the way into syria. what we have done is slow them down and go after them. but that is a. there are a lot of airstrikes we have been doing that have been very specific and nouri al-maliki leaving is just one step in rebuilding the military and it's not biting. so it's just one step that won't solve the issues that are going on inside iraq. ashley: how does this play out? we pin our hopes on a new government under a new prime minister and president can actually get it back together and put together, you know, a

worthy resistance to this islamic group? or is it inevitable that we will get dragged into another conflict? >> i keep coming back to. we are in the middle of the conflict. and how many american people have been wounded there. and i think that this is going to stay that way. >> what about giving them an effort to put up resistance to isis. is that a bad move? >> absolutely, 100%.

weapons inside lebanon are going directly to hezbollah. ashley: essentially the white house stopped arming this in israel, the suggestion that they went behind the white house directly to the pentagon. how much you put in store this because it's pretty interesting? >> if that is true, their job is to coordinate the activities.

if they are going right to the pentagon, we have far bigger problems than i have ever heard of. and we would do anything. ashley: also this latest conflict between hamas and israel has persuaded the administration that regimen netanyahu and his national security team are reckless and untrustworthy. >> netanyahu is defending his country. but the united states of

america, we continue to try to help and we always would and should. and not giving back. stephen think is a much more your help. saying a final farewell to harold greene. he was killed in combat, shot to death last week as he visited an afghan military academy and he was buried today at arlington national cemetery. we will be right back. >> president obama and hillary

top of huge trucks and this is kind of the video that we have been seeing from overseas and clearly a small police department who is out of their depth. and there is a vast difference in here is a guy who is in command and control and he's treating people with the decency and respect that they deserve. ashley: sometimes they tend to get the sense that it's against the enemy.

and we do have someone different and charge and how to get to this point. >> i got to this point because of the situation that is developing. and secondly this equipment, this is the kind of equipment that is what they had and all of a sudden they turn on the american people and it's really terrifying. and it's a very difficult situation but it raises questions. ashley: the protest tonight,

let's hope it stays that way. the pentagon says it is available and what they do, what do you think about it? >> they save you don't have it, why use it and that is not sincerely the way americans should be running their local police departments this is not what we should be seeing in the streets of america. there's a time and place to be used and it's not when one are talking about small towns and cities in america and that's not where it should be. >> the critical thing is to get this again and all of them different and obviously that we are hopeful to get to the bottom of this.

potentially be solved. everyone, no exception. with that said, what are the warning signs? >> if you are a changed person or if people you love seem quite different, and energy, lack of self-esteem, changes in sleep and appetite and a sense of hopelessness, the things will not improve. one of the things about major depression is it steals your rational ability. he think it's never going to end and its gargantuan. if you know someone like that or if you're feeling that, it is a misinterpretation. ashley: we just found out today that he had been diagnosed with the early stages of parkinson's. how much of that could have played into his ultimate decision? >> number one psychologically,

if you are already on the road this because you feel like you have this chronic or episodic illness, couples with challenges with substance use and someone says, another fan, a physical condition plus italy that would be something he could take heart , but physiologically these things interact and not in a good way. each of them can make the other worsened. one of the things that they can steal his concentration which for an actor can be doubly challenging. and also, what is the outcome for many people? these masters like cases where you can't quite move your facial musculature. again, i don't know mr. williams. however, did he worry, what would wonder, like kraft is now under siege. even as i get out of this depression and going to have a problem, facial expressions.
