that's it, everybody. the beach boys, summer concert series in the after the show show! the chaos and turmoil turning into peaceful protests in ferguson, missouri. we are waiting for a police conference in ferguson. we are expected to get the name of the officer accused of shooting a black teenager that sparked a violent protest. good morning, everybody on a friday. welcome to america's newsroom. martha: missouri's governor has put the state highway patrol in charge of things and that changed the tone dramatically after things hat godden really out of hand in ferguson.

that is what it looks like wednesday night. police clashing with the protesters in the streets. rubber bullets. bottle throwing. all kind of out of control stuff going none the streets. governor jay nickson says he put the state highway patrol head, the captain, in charge of this. it made a big difference at least for now. >> we felt an operational shift would give us a different tone. we had a very tumultuous week. i think the shifts we made yesterday to make it operational shifts calm folks down but that should not' under estimate how keep these wounds are in missouri and around the country. >> reporter: those are the microphones as we wait for the

news conference which we'll take you to live. we understand the intention of this is partly to announce the name of the police officer who was involved in this shooting and there has been a lot of clamoring to release his name and a lot of nervous news about what that might bring forth when that happens. mike tobin is in ferguson today. what do we expect this morning? >> reporter: it's a little sleepy because of the long night last night. we are expecting to see the ferguson police chief give in to a primary demand of the crowd, that is to release the identity of the officer who shot michael brown. he told our produc producer this morning that his intention is to do just that, leaving himself little wiggle room as to whether he will do that. it will be interesting to see if he gives out some of the facts

surrounding the shooting. we heard little from the police side of the narrative. what he heard there was a struggle in the police cruiser. we heard there was an attempt to grab a weapon. the officer was treated to injuries to his face suggesting there was a violent conne confrontation before the shooting. the overwhelming narrative has been this young man was shot in cold blood. as the police chief comes here to disclose the identity of this individual, if he starts to back up some of the police motivation for what happened -- that is the focus of the story here today as everybody watching these microphones to see when the police chief will step up and what exactly he will say, martha. martha: word is this name has been out there in the local community, mike. i don't know what you do or don't know about that or if that's even true. what is the security situation? have you heard anything about

that and how this person will be protected? this is going to open obviously a whole new can of worms. >> reporter: as far as the names that get out, it seems to be the way things happen. you get a lot of things released on social media. there was a name released on social media that we know to be false. so you can't bang on that. it seems clear what the police wanted to do was protect the safety of the officer involved and his family from the threat of really what could evolve into a lynch mob. you have seen how the crowd has been out here. they are extremely passionate. you heard from the police chief saying given the threats made off social media they wanted to act with an abundance of caution for the safety of this officer and his family. so that has been taken into consideration. but you see sow much pressure including a lawsuit from the

aclu compelling them to disclose the original incident report. now we see the chief giving in to that. bill: people are wondering why now? what have they told you as toy l be released now and why is it necessary? >> reporter: they haven't give and lot of information as to why they are giving the officer's name now. there has been so much pressure. you heard the civil rights leaders demanding there be a release. it's one of the primary demand of the crowd. disclose the identity of this officer. and that was weighed against what the police believe to be their interests in terms of the safety of this officer. bill: you mentioned the facts at least on behalf of the police there have been very few facts made public. you heard several eyewitness

accounting if on 6, 7 days. do you get the sense police will drip the information out slowly, that will keep and possibly apiece those in the streets? >> reporter: i think that's what we would like to hear from the police chief as he steps up here because you don't know a lot of facts from the case. a lot of people represented as witnesses claim to be witnesses. many of them still hide their identity. their credibility comes into question and you hear a common theme that the police were not justified in shooting this young man, and you don't see a lot of vetting as far as the people who have come forward saying they are witnesses. the police seem to have a different version of what happened and thus far have elected not to disclose that. so it will be interesting to see when chief jackson steps forward if he goes beyond disclosing the identity of the officer and starts to explain his motivation

of the shooting. bill: we are on standby for the moment. when the news conference gets underway we'll go live to that. martha: the nation's attention focusing on that small missouri suburb. the police chief will be coming up in the next hour. bill: that is one big news story. the prime minister noury al-maliki agreeing to step down after weeks of pressure. president obama declaring success $says to help thousands of iraqis trapped by militants on top of mount sinjar. and the up n. warning a major humanitarian crisis is still a possibility. its highest level emergency declaration in effect for the third day. they are comparing it to south sudan.

lindsey graham says president obama continues to underestimate the threat from islamic militants. >> i'm glad iraq has a new prime minister, that will be a great help. but i'm disappointed in the commander-in-chief for not addressing with the threat from isil, and the threat is not just in iraq and $syria, they intend to attack us at home. bill: chris tire walt, good morning to you. we heard from chuck hail and the president so many times over the past month. political reconciliation must come first. how does that change the equation for the united states for us? >> the iraqis have perhaps called the president's bluff. the president said we are not going to even dpaij to a greater degree militarily until there is

a reckon sill gracious government in iraq. and the iraqis are pretty plainly or the shiia iraqis are plainly desperate must in the face of this threat to do or say whatever the united states and president obama want them to do and say in order to get additional military aid. so what's the president going to do? his political situation is that he is under tremendous pressure the right and from within his own party, hillary clinton and her inner circle are pushing hard on the notion the president needs to do more and engage more. that's goes against evening he got elected on and everything he said. but you can see it happening, he's getting pulled in. >bill: do you say mission accomplished? do you say crisis averted? specifically on the refugee evident. >> leaving aside the question

which senator graham talked about, the future threat or current threat to the united states of attack. there is the question of how many thousands, tens of thousands of people are killed, forced into sexual slavery, behead. forced conversion. the even slavement of women and children. this is the worst of human nature taking place out there. the fact that able body were able to walk off of this mountain range and the thousands who remain are too small in number to merit further u.s. rescue efforts in the calculation of this administration. leaving that aside, the track record and future potential of this group in terms of the slaughter, forced conversion and even slavement of christians particularly with other minority groups is enormous. we are talking more than a million iraqis have had to flee

their homes to get away from these people. bill: chris, thank you. analyze can the political situation in washington. ed royce, the congressman, he was calling for airstrikes months ago. martha: we are waiting for the news conference in ferguson. we'll go there as soon as they step in front of the microphones. we understand them release the name of the officer involved. billinvolved.bill tony stewart making the decision whether to get back behind the wheel after striking and killing another driver last weekend. martha: a woman sips sweet tea an end up in the hospital. the dental poisonous up greed cents that put her there.

martha: we are waiting for the news conference out of ferguson from the police. we have not had a lot of information from the other side on this. we understand we'll get the name of the officer involved. that was one of the main points the officers were making, they wanted his name revealed. a lot of security concerns around the release of his name.

we'll get you there as soon as that gets underway, though. bill: some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle calling for a vote and military authorization. out of orange county, california, congressman royce. good morning to you. back in august of last year apparently you were told about this, two months ago in mid-june you said drone strikes should commence immediately and did not happen. what were you hearing and what did you say about the threat? >> two things we were hearing. one was isis was on the march and its intention was to slaughter christians and other minorities. and that's exactly what we have seen happen.

at the same time we also heard that if we could use drones up above these positions and come down on isis while they were even camped in syria we could have retashedded their ability, their -- we could have retarded their ability, as isis began to move across the border into iraq town by town and were in open desert what he called for these airstrikes. our embassy asked for them, the government in iraq asked for them. many in the u.s. government asked the president for these strikes. bill: and it doesn't happen. so the question then comes to today. "a," i apologize if i interrupt you. what do you think of the reaction this week and have we moved beyond the effectiveness.

>> it's not just that we didn't do airstrikes. we didn't arm the kurdish forces. now that maliki is stepping aside and we have a new and probably inclues live government in iraq we have a better ability to stem isis. so things are beginning to unfold here in a way in which we may be able to check their advance. but it was unnecessary to allow them to displace a mill people and slaughter the christians or to get their hands on the hundreds of millions of dollars they have taken from the central bank. bill: do you think action is at the ready? >> i haven't seen the decisive actions necessary to get the kurds the armaments they need to fight back, nor have i seen the attempts to bring together the regional players. when need to get the turks and the jordanians, the saudis and

other gulf states. they are all threatened by isis. when need to bring them together. we see the british and french stepping up. but now is the time for a little leadership to get the regional players. the iraqis have to do the five-year, but we should be karling iraqi units right now, and we could arm the free syrian military units fighting isis. all of this could have been done a year ago. >> you have got an election 2 and a half months ago. do you think that's a part of this equation or is that too cynical? >> i think the reality is that the action that need to come is providing the kurds with the military support they need, with the weaponry they need to succeed on the ground. that's something that should be

a no-brainer. it should have been some time ago. secondarily the other action that was necessary here to prevail, i think was for maliki to step down. >> that has happened. with regard to the kurds, france a few days ago said they would send military hardware and perhaps that's part of the behind the scenes as well. if this goes on for weeks and months from now, are you of the camp that says the president has to come to congress to get approval? >> sustained military action beyond 60 days under the war powers act, clearly the president needs to come to the congress for authorization. but at this point what we are see support for the kurds and the iraqis to conduct this war themselves. and the free syrian army

possibly. we have been pressed by the french on this before. it's an amazing situation where you see the french leaving the united states behind in terps of helping the regional players resist groups like isis. bill: what he appreciate your time. we'll wait to see what happens next. ed royce from california. martha: we are waiting for that news conference out of ferguson, missouri. they were supposed to get started around 9 time. we expect they will release the name of the privilege involved in that fatality shooting of the teen alleger last weekend. that will be a tense moment. bill: critics of the president for the photos of him dancing at a party. does the white house have an image problem in. >> this isn't theater. this is a problem. i'm not interested in photo-ops.

i'm interested in solving the problem.

bill: crews manage to free workers who were buried after a wall collapse. you see that oxygen line, that yellow pipe? the three men will be okay. well done. >> a huge sigh of relief after two amish girls are found safe after 24 hours of apparently being abducted from their family's roadside farm stand. jonathon, what happened here? >> reporter: a statewide amber

alert has been in effect since wednesday night after the girls were abducted from the rural farm and their family runs. last night there was a shouldn't flurry of activity not far from the canadian border after a call came in saying the two girls turned up at a home in the maul town of richville. it turns out they may have been dropped off at that home by the individual who abducted them. the 6 or 7 and 12-year-old appear to be in good health. >> i think for me the thipg that touched me the most was when mr. miller said, it unless god's hand now. so, i think it's important that, all of us say late the prayer to

bring the girls home safely. >> reporter: they are now safely hope. but what happened to them during the 24 hours they were missing remains a mystery. who had them, where they were and exactly what kind of ordeal they went through. we may get answers later today. martha: these girls were amish. you said that presented the police with some issues in terms of investigating. reporter: the amish shun modern technology so there were no photographs of these girls and the family -- the police worked hard with the families to allow a sketch of the older girl. the miller family does not have a phone at their farm -- at family farm stand. so the father when he disappeared had to run to a neighbor to make that call.

there are a lot of challenges for the police finding these girls. they set up a huge search and the girls were best identified by the amish traditional clothing. but the good news is in this story, martha, they are safely home. they appear to be in good health. a search for hoff to who ever ts on. it's very important that the police find these guys. martha: thank goodness they are hope. bill: vladimir putin $he he's on there to -- says he's only there to help. trucks crossing the border in ukraine but the you says it's a

trojan horse for an invasion. martha: what is the true state of things going not north. are the isis terrorists really on the run? >> nearly half of the 25 strikes we conducted have been in and around mount sinjar, what he know from talking to people that it was the strikes themselves that helped encourage them to leave defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. easily absorbed calcium plus d. beauty is bone deep.

bill: if you are just wake up and joining us police have a news conference in ferguson, new jersey. they are running late based on the announced time of 9:00 a.m. eastern time. we are on standby. we do know because the governor said and the police chief said the name officer involved in that incidents last saturday, the fatal shooting death of an 18-year-old michael brown, that name will go public during this

news conference. so we are on standby. martha: there are new questions about the future of iraq after the president claims progress and success in the mission there. but in terms of manpower isis appears to be far from decimate. they have 10,000 fighters. some of the numbers i heard go north of that number as well. and now they control an area about the size of the country of belgium. jack keane is the chairman of the institute for the studied of war and fox news military analyst. that's just the beginning of it. they have an enormous amount of limit equipment, resources, oil. this is a country.

>> reporter: they established a state. they have a significant amount of equipment. the numbers you suggest are accurate. they are in syria and iraq. despite our success at irbil and mount sinjar, isis has freedom of movement and has the initiative. they are attacking right now as we speak inside iraq. north, south and west of baghdad with ied explosive. also attacking in syria and also attacking in remember gone none. this is an organization that's usually ambitious, has competent leadership. martha: since 2011, do you think we are in the most dangerous points of that war ever? >> i believe that post 9/11. they are destabilizing the middle east. we have vital interests there

for this country. and all he they are a threat to the american security and the american people. i believe the president has got to come clean with all of this and talk straight to the american people about why this is important and why we'll have to make a significant commitment. martha: you talk about the politics of it. the president wanted to get us out of iraq. but the number one job of the president is protecting the country. it seems to me people on all side of the equation here believe this is a huge threat to the west. the vatican is on the list. the u.n. is on that list. the u.k., france, all seem to be on the same page. so what do you think the president needs to do to pull together these forces to fight and quash this enemy? >> he need to support this new government that's forming. that's obvious. but we desperately need a strategy to deal with it.

we should do that in conjunction with our allies in the the region and other alleys convene a summit in the region to do that and come out thereof with a plan to be able -- not just our resources but also theirs. it should be polite calculate and diplomatic. obviously military because it will get everybody's attention and strategic communitycation. isolate this enemy and the barbarism they have. then we have to do to things militarily. tough calls. the airstrikes we are doing are defensive. we have to give the military the mission and let them attack is is throughout the country. martha: do you think the military has their hands tied? >> absolutely. i'm not suggesting it's easy. we can stop their movement and initiative with airstrikes. but to defeat them and take away the numbers of them and their

leadership, that requires a ground force. the peshmerga and the sunni tribes and and reconstituted iraqi army and a syrian army in syria. we have to support them not with hundreds of advisers, but thousands offe d thousands offea vicars. martha: does this go back to syria where there was an entity we could have supported? does it go back to that moment that hillary clinton discussed and you have discussed? >> 2011 we knew we needed to help the free syrian army. 2012, clinton, petraeus and i panetta make the recommendation to support the free syrian army. we thought we could do that to not let those weapons get into

the wrong hands. they were the on people in syria will fog fight isis and they have fought isis without the proper equipment or the proper arms. martha: we are doing some major catchup here. imagine jack keane, thank you, sir. bill: hundreds of trucks of what moscow says is humanitarian. getting the once over by the red cross. tensions rising yet again after the earlier today they crossed the ukrainian border, guard met the convoy and found two dozen armored personnel carriers escorting that shipment. what are you hear being the latest on this convoy? >> reporter: the aid convoy is at bored as we speak.

but the atcs are drawing attention. it was reported that as many as 20 russian atcs had crossed over into ukraine. the nato secretary-general said a russian incursion did occur overnight. in the meantime the big news about the aid is inspection of those trucks has begun and an agreement has been reached on bringing the aid into ukraine that would involve leaving one russian in each truck and having a red cross representative go with the truck to the offloading and then the russian trucks would go back the way they came in. in the meantime ukrainian officials have begun inspecting the trucks. but they are finding some of them to be just half full.

according to russian drivers the trucks couldn't be filled up. but some of them are full. 70 of the trucks have reached their destination in the east of the country and the red cross will start distributing those supplies today. but the red cross is saying it will be important for a ceasefire to be put into place once the aid is fully distributed. bill: vladimir putin is in crimea with his entire cabinet. amy kellogg with that story out of london. martha: will * was i will will. martha: rob win williams was in the early stages of important

kin on's according to his wife. bill: it's amazing to watch all the clips. martha: a lot of tough times there. bill: does president obama have an image problem? two photos showing different sides of the president's vacation. we'll debate it fair and balanced. martha: flooding damaging thousands of homes. entire just washed away. >> i'm as hotter broken as you think i might be because i almost lost my life. so as long as i'm fine, my family is fine, material is replaceable.

march already we'll go straight to ferguson, missouri are captain jackson is talk.

>> i had a lot of sunshine law requests for information and documents about a variety of things, some of which is not available to me. so i'm here to talk about two things. first of all the name of the for involved in the shooting, and then i have a lot of sun shine requests for information i'm going to be releasing information about a robbery that occurred august 9 immediately preceding the altercation and shooting death of michael brown. it's important to note that i have made contact with someone who is in contact with officer brown's family to make them aware of this information being released. what we are making available today, the dispatch record, the video footage of a robbery, strong arm robbery, use of force that occurred at a local convenience mart. i cannot discuss the investigation about the attempted apprehension of the suspect in that strong arm robbery that goes to the county

prosecutor's office. i won't be taking any questions today right now. i won't be taking any questions here. i want to give this information to you, everybody digest and later on we can get together again and then i'll take questions. so i want to give you a little time line what happened august 9. from 11:48 to noon the for involved in the shooting was on a sick call with an ambulance present. 11:51 there was a 911 call from a convenience store nearby not this one. at 11:52 dispatch gave a description of a robbery suspect over the radio. i different officer arrived at the store where the strong arm robbery occurred. a further description, more detail was given over the radio and stated the suspect was

walking toward quick trip. the for left the sick call and encountered ... -- at 12:01 p.m. our officer encountered michael brown. 12:04 a $second officer arrived on the scene immediately following the shooting and at 12:05 a supervisor was dispatched to the scene. subsequent officers arrived. there has been some questions about the calling of an ambulance. the ambulance that was at the is a on glenn ark was coming by immediately following the shooting and they did respond to assess michael brown. so i'm going to have some police going to be handing out packets that have all the information that was requested in the

sunshine request concerning the robbery. we'll give those packets first of all to those agencies that have made the sunshine request. and anybody else who wants them, i think we have enough to give out. but we have quite a few. the for that was involved in the shooting of michael brown was darren wilson. he has been a police officer for six years and had no disciplinary action taken against him. he was treated for injuries which occurred saturday. i won't be taking any questions at this time but the packets will be handed the out by my officers. the name is darren darren, wilson. wilson.

bill: after a 45-minute delay, i'm not sure what they are going to do now. but that may be it in terms of a statement. two things he described. the name of the officer. darren wilson. also we knew he was treated as an outpatient at the hospital. the strong arm robbery hat happened around noon local time which based on what the officer described there involved michael brown, and this is the first information we have been given about that. that would have been two hours before he would have turned out to a deadly shooting of this 18-year-old african-american teenager. mike tobin is standing by. he took no questions. he aliewfded to another press conference for some sort of statement and question and

answer then. but how do we now figure in this whole robbery incident that he just described to us two hours before the fatal shooting. >> reporter: that seems to be one link hat hasn't been provided thus far. he said michael brown was stopped for no reason. he says michael fits the description of someone involved in a strong arm robbery just a short time before. so that provide a motivation for stopping him on the street. what you didn't get a lot as far as what happened with this altercation and the incident in which they were shooting other than the fact he went back to the fact the officer himself is named darren wilson, was treated for injuries. those injuries we heard before were injuries to his face. the idea was he had been hit in the face and that fits the narrative there was a drug until the police cruiser. we don't know it was in fact the police cruiser.

something i can tell you from rinsing to what's going on behind me is the crowd is not satisfied with the amount of information that came out thus far. i hear people shouting at the police officer -- will you look at some of the action right now, and the police chief is still there loading up into his vehicle. anding a long stream of obscenities are being chuted at hichute --are being shout at hi. they are not satisfied it was sufficient motivation to result in the death of this 18-year-old who we now know to be unarmed. bill: we are going to get cut off by computer here. darren wilson is the officer's name. six years on the force, treated for injuries. that's all the facts we have at the moment. but he mentioned the sunshine law several times. is that the justification for putting out the officer's name?

they are getting requests to go public and hence they did? >> reporter: there is a lot that goes into it. it looks like they are trying to follow legal protocol as best they, the motivation to take care of their own guy. there is a lot of motivation to take care of the safety of this officer. you heard that in the days leading up to this. you have seen pressure the police and the crowd and the lawyers descending on them. you have the aclu filing suit under the sunshine laws to disclose the incidents report. but that's the pressure coming down. bill: perhaps more later today. go back and standby. we'll squeeze in a quick break right now. martha: we'll talk to the lieutenant governor from missouri coming up as well. also police investigating a utah restaurant after a toxic industrial chemical ended up in

a woman's iced tea and she is in critical condition.

martha: we are back the latest breaking news out of ferguson, missouri where we just listened to a news conference from the head of the police force who shared with the public that there was a convenience store robbery that happened really just minutes before this police officer and the altercation began with michael brown. mike tobin joins us live at that news conference. there was a time line given in terms after robbery that took place. this is the first that we are hearing any connection that is potentially existing between these two incidents. lay that out for us.

>> reporter: they say that officer darren wilson was out on a routine sick call accompanying an ambulance and was called off of that sick call because there as you a strong arm robbery in the area. now the police are providing the motivation why 18-year-old michael brown was stopped in the first place. indicating the description for the strong arm robbery suspect fit the description of michael brown, so michael brown was stopped. we have in earlier police narratives is there was a struggle, a brief altercation. what we heard from the chief today is there were injuries to the officer. the officer was treated for injuries at a local hospital. consistent with being hit in the side of the head or the side of his face. they did not get to the point where there was a shooting. we heard earlier there was a

struggle over the officer's weapon. one shot fired in a car that didn't hit anybody. subsequent shots fired. what we heard from witnesses is that all they ever saw was this young black man michael brown with his hands in the air gunned down by police. we are getting dribs and drabs by police which explains their motivation of officer darren wilson in this role. that's about all we got from the chief here today. a few dribs and drabs and we saw the chief give in to the tremendous pressure he has gotten from the public. and according to the sunshine act he disclosed the identity of the officer. martha: the aclu has filed a suit to get the full incidents report. mike tobin, thank you very much. bill: some of these questions

will go to the lieutenant governor of missouri. he's our guest on america's newsroom. can this decadent, fruit topped pastry... ...with indulgent streusel crumble, be from... fiber one. new fiber one streusel.

martha: breaking news this hour. moments ago we learned that name of the police officer who was involved in the shooting of a black teenager in ferguson, missouri. >> the officer involved in the shootings of michael brown is darren wilson. he has been a police officer for six years and had no disciplinary action taken against him. he was treated for injuries. bill: we just listened to the police chief in ferguson, missouri. we learn a few new details based on the short statement gave. one was the possibility after

robbery that took place around noon local time saturday afternoon and some of the officers when they arrived at the scene came across what they could have been mike brown in an encounter between police officers. local reports in st. louis have been talking about this robbery for self days but it's just now coming to light through the police department. dane wilson reportedly came in contact with the 18-year-old teenager about two hours later. what happened in that time and? these are wide open slots we are trying to fill in. there is a possibility the police chief will come back later today. but for now that's all we know. darren wilson six years on the force, no disciplinary record. some sort of con felon takes took place at noon saturday local time in ferguson, missouri. back to that story in a moment.

in the mean type president obama declaring u.s. airstrikes have broken the militant siege of iraq's mount sinjar preventing the slaughter of tens of thousands of iraqis at the hands of islamic extremists. thousand remain, elderly and too sick to move. in the outskirts of irbil jihadist militants continue to brutalize the christian population and minorities. the obama administration says it will continue when and where it's necessary. >> we'll strike at the time of our choosing to protect our people and irbil is a spree tee jimally important -- is a strategically important i.

city. what has the pentagon told you, jennifer, about what they believe the effectiveness or the assessment of isis and its military capability is on the ground? >> reporter: the airstrikes are defensive in nature. they are not designed to destroy isis. source on the ground report they are extremely surprised how well trained the isis fighters are. they are using tactics and procedures the u.s. used for many years in iraq. in some cases up s. defense forces tell fox that those fighting for isis were sunniss training about it u.s. military and cia during the anbar awakening. as many sources put it, these are fighters who know our tactics and know how to defend themselves against u.s. airstrikes.

this photo of an aid worker who accompanied the u.s. forces on mount sinjar, the pentagon says it will continue carrying out limited airstrikes in iraq. >> nobody is doing high fives here at the pentagon because there are fewer people on the mountain than we thought. there is no happy dances here because we think the situation is better on the mountain. we understand there continues to be human snawferg iraq. >> reporter: sources tell me there is a great deal of reluctance at the white house to get further involved. bill: al-maliki is stepping down as prime minister. this is something the administration has been trying to make happen and now it has.

>> reporter: from a military standpoint very little. here is maliki yesterday. >> i announce before you today to ease the movement of the political process and the formation of the new government and preserve the country's higher interest to withdraw my candidacy in favor of dr. haider al-abadi. >> reporter: they don't really care who the prime minister is, their goal is a caliphate and they are still advancing on the capital. martha: the scene on the ground remains dire in iraq. thousands of yazidis are still trapped on the mountain trying survive in the face of genocide by islamic terrorists. now the united nations is declaring the highest level of emergency for iraq. david palkot has the latest.

good morning, gregg. >> dire is a very good word for it. the latest figures, 1.5 million displaced across northern iraq and many of those are looking for a place to stay. take a look at what was done today. >> with hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the isis militants these people are looking for any place to stay, including a half finished office building. families living rough under a roof. >> reporter: those sheltered at that site were christian refugees. the church is setting up 25 centers. this is a vast humanitarian effort. in irbil there are also ethnic minority yazidi refugees. the word is most of the yazidis

who have been trapped and stranded by isis on mount sinjar are now off that mountain. but it took a terrible toll. the latest information we are getting is as many as 300 people died on that mountain and most of them were children. martha: a tragic situation to be hour. gregg, thank you very much. bill: we heard from the police chief in that town 25 minutes ago giving us new details first about the officer involved. his name is out. 6-year veteran of the force darren wilson is his name. no disciplinary record to speak of according to the chief of police. we also have details about a robbery that took place saturday at 12 noon local time when officers responded to a quick trip to the neighborhood in ferguson.

we are trying to fill in the blanks based on the little information the police gave to us. we even tase pay the later today -- we anticipate the police will cop out and speak too reporters. the other thing he alluded to with that convenience store video which we expect to be made public as well. martha: there is a lot of outrange on twitter and social media right now because the reaction is by some people that if, you know, anything was found from that cigarrer to robbery on michael brown that the police would have reported that immediately to connect him to that. the suggestion that perhaps this officer may be -- under the description ounderstood the desf the person involved in hat robbery and mistook it to be

michael brown. but the police are releasing this information in defense of this officer in terms of what transpired after he encountered michael brown on the streets. we did experience this nice calm hiatus overnight. especially after captain from the highway patrol group ronald jones stepped into this whole scene and said take off your gas mask. no more tanks. we will walk with the protesters. we are one community. great images of ronald johnson walking with the protesters, holding hand with some of the people in the street and that went a long way to cool things down. but with this if you information and this name released. bill: he was very impressive. he said you want boots on ought ground? i'll be your boots on ought ground and at nighttime we saw him walking the sidewalks. mike, what have you found out in the last 15 minutes? >> reporter: we found out in

the last 15 minutes, necessity talked about the strong arm robbery at the remembers store and the reason michael brown was stopped by police. and the description of the suspect of the strong arm robbery. now according to the incident report what they say from the rid ohi -- the video you are vap veilans. michael brown is the suspect at the convenience store. it started with a stack of cigars with a value of $43. according to the narratives in these incident reports michael brown took them up to the counter. the clerk said he had to pay for those cigars. he walked to the door, returned, grabbed the cigars and as indicated by the video surveillance he shoved the clerk at the door and muscled his way out the door. he was 6'4 degree, 492d he was

6'4". he's quite a bit larger than the clerk at the convenience store. muscled him out of the wait and went to the street. all according to the incident reports. that leading to his being stopped by the police officer in question. accord together earlier police narrative, a struggle in the back of the car, a struggle that resulted the in an injury to the police officer, subsequent shots fired. bill: fill in a few spaces for us if you can. you are outside the convenience store where this happened saturday at noon where with the press conference just happened as well. where was mike brown shot then in relation to that store? >> reporter: it's just a short distance away. the store has not been named. but it was a short walking

distance to the quick trip. the quick trip gang the most notoriety as one of the stores that was ransacked. this has been ground zero. the shooting occurred in a an apartment complex a short distance. darren wilson was in this area responding to a sick call. was pulled away from the sick call because of the distress calls that went out or the 911 calls that went out about the strong arm robbery and came upon michael brown, he fit the description. bill: you say a short distance, is that 100 feet, 100 yard, a quarter mile? how far? >> reporter: i can't tell you. pardon the camera issues we have right now. i should have staked that out. but i have been dealing with the crowd. bill: we are going to nail that down and we'll try to nail down the time line to fill in the

blanks throughout the day. there may be a video that will supplement some of the images we have as well. continue reporting there in ferguson, missouri. martha: obviously big developments and breaking news in the ferguson story as pictures are released from a convenience store robbery that mike tobin shared with us. there may be video to come. we are waiting for the lieutenant governor from missouri to join us. ♪

[ male announcer ] when you see everyone in america almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you're pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that's alright. because we'll text you when your package is on the way. we're even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is...was... and always will be...you.

martha: breaking news and lots of new information coming out on the ferguson, missouri story. we want to get right back to mike tobin who is on the ground in ferguson. a couple questions for you. there is a lot of confusion surrounding some of the information coming out here. social media obviously going wild over these new developments. i want top get through some of this and clarify. the incidents report that the police have released includes pictures from the convenience store robbery that happened just prior to the murder of michael brown. now, does the incidents report say that the pictures that they released from the convenience store -- does it say those pictures are of michael brown or they might be of michael brown? >> reporter: the incident

reported nice the suspect as michael brown. and if you put them up on screen, i can hold you. you can see this is someone who fit the description of michael brown that we had known all along. 6'4", 292 pound. the description was a black male in a white shirt with baggy khaki shorts on and a red st. louis cardinals ball cap on. that's the description that went out. they were looking at two suspects at the time. it was just about a half mile from the location where the original convenience store was. the name has been redacted off the incidents reports as well as the name of the clerk involved in that. a half mile away. it was a short distance away officer darren wilson encountered him, stopped him. now we know the motivation for the stop.

darren wilson went out on a sick call at 11:45. by 12:05 his supervisor was on scene as they were looking for the suspect in that strong-arm robbery. shortly before that you had the shooting incidents melt down. the strong-arm robbery was over a stack or box of swisher sweet cigars. total value $49. it was set on the counter. the clerk said you have got to pay for it. the suspect didn't want to pay for them. grabbed them, walked to the door. shoved the clerk who is according to the pictures considerably smaller than them. and head out the door. martha: i don't know whether we know he had that stolen item on him when the altercation with the police officer happened, and not appears the police officer was trying to take him into

custody. they are identifying him from these images. also another quick question. the witness who we heard from who was with michael brown at the time, was he part of this robbery at the convenience store according to the incident report? >> reporter: according to the incident report there were two people there, one identified as johnson. i'm not certain that is the witness involved. but what we heard from the witnesses is michael brown was minding his own business ns and had his hands in the air when he was gunned down. not consistent with the scene of someone leaving from a strong-arm robbery. martha: make, through. we'll be back to you in just a moment. bail * we'll try to get a few more clarifycation. the governor of missouri is our guest live when we return.

>> new information as we continue to follow the latest developments out of forget szob, missouri. first off, last night no arrests were made, that after an appeal for calm from so many last evening. now today we have the name of the officer, darren wilson, treated for injuries last saturday afternoon. no record of any disciplinary action. and now we have these images that police just released about 40 minutes ago. around noontime at a local convenience store, there was a strong armed robbery with a description of a suspect that fit that of michael brown, age 18. and around noon, 12:01, an officer encountered michael brown during this strong armed robbery apparently over a pack of cigars. that's what we have for the moment. for more, here's martha. martha: missouri's lieutenant governor, peter kinder, joins us now. sir, welcome.

good to have you with us today. >> thank you. martha: obviously, we've learned more details about this situation this morning. the news that michael brown was a suspect in a case of a convenience store robbery according to the police incident report that has just come out, and they also have revealed pictures from the cameras in that convenience store that appear to show michael brown. we have those up on the screen right now, confronting the owner of this store. what's your reaction to all this, sir? >> well, martha, i react to the breaking news the way a lot of folks do. people have the right, the right we will defend, to peaceably assemble in the streets, but we do not decide these questions in the streets. this is america. we have legal processes, and an important point needs to be made that i was delighted to hear the county prosecutor announce yesterday, that he will take this to a grand jury.

missouri is different than many other states in that prosecutors have the option of charging on what we call their own information, that is, their ownj decision. or they can charge by taking to a grand jury. and in that case, it is not the prosecutor doing the charging, but it is the people impaneled in a grand jury. the people of st. louis county, therefore, will be heard from in the grand jury process, and i applaud the prosecutor for announcing that he will take this to a grand jury. martha: yeah. i mean, obviously it is all going to come down to the evidence in this case because if, indeed, it is michael brown as the incident report suggests, there will still be, obviously, a trial, i would imagine, over the evidence of this case as to whether a shooting was justified by this police officer and

whether or not he had the opportunity to take him into custody and bring him down to the station and go through the process, correct? >> yes, martha. a trial will follow if, and it's a big if, if that grand jury of citizens of st. louis county makes the decision to bring the charge. that has not happened because it couldn't have happened in this short amount of time. meanwhile, i think everyone is delighted that with the arrival on the scene of the new commanding officer, rom johnson from the missouri highway patrol, that we turned a corner last night, and i applaud him and that decision. martha: yeah. you know, i wonder and i certainly hope that that peace continues. we all do. but with these new details that have been announced, the release of the officer's name and also this incident report which implicates that this is not at all what it appeared to be originally, that he was just walking down the street with his friend and got into an

altercation, but they were seeking him because he was a suspect in a robbery, that new information's going to inject a lot of new tensions into this, i would imagine, sir. >> yes. yes, martha, i agree. but i think it's really vital for us all not to get out ahead of the tips of our skis here. we have breaking news, details pouring in. let's all step back, try to be calm, take a deep breath and let the process work. we have a federal investigation, the fbi is here, the u.s. department of justice is here, the missouri highway patrol has taken command of the situation on the streets to great effect, i might add, and we need to let the legal process work out that is designed to protect the rights of everyone involved. martha: you know, i just want to ask you because you talk about the doj being on the scene, and some have suggested that they

have put their thumb on the scale too heavily, too soon in this case in terms of, you know, their take on what happened. we know eric holder spoke on the phone to michael brown's participants the other day -- parents the other day. what do you think about all that? >> well, i think it's entirely praiseworthy that he would speak to the parents. i don't, i don't find any basis for criticism there. we know that the department of justice has in the past in some previous cases put their thumb on the scales of justice. i, to this point so far, i have not seen that, and i hope we don't see that as this process goes forward. bill: sir, the police just released, as you well know, these images of what appears to be what they describe as a strong-arm robbery. it did not involve guns, but it involves what appears to be a strong individual on the left trying to the get away with something at a local convenience store. based on what the police have

just revealed, this would appear to be a critical piece of evidence going forward, especially from a police officer's perspective. now, when you have people in the streets for the past six nights running, why is this just coming out now? what explains that? >> well, that's a good question to put to the responsible law enforcement authorities on the scene. i assume -- i have not asked them that question or spoken to them about that, but i assume they had their reasons. their reasons can be questioned. it's a fair question to ask them, and it should be put to those folks who have been there on the line the last six days. bill: and do you support the release of the officer's name today who's been on that force for six years? >> we all knew that the officer's name would have to be released. the only question was when. and what we have here is a necessity to protect him and his

family. he has not been charged with a crime as we is sit here and discuss this. he may be down the road. if he is, he is entitled to all the protections that our jurisprudence system offers any criminal defendant should he be charged as a criminal defendant. and that includes the presumption of innocence, the right to a defense and counsel and everything else. bill: finally, do you expect more information to come out today? there was an allusion to -- that officer alluded to a video at the convenience store that could go public. do you expect that? >> i have not been informed of the timing of the release, but i would expect a cascade of more details, bill, as this day goes on. bill: peter kinder, lieutenant governor of the state of missouri. thank you for coming on with us today. >> thank you very much, bill and martha. martha: thank you very much, sir. we are going to take a quick break here, and we will be right

back.

♪ ♪ bill: new information this morning out of ferguson, missouri. police there connecting michael brown to what's called a strong-arm robbery. last saturday at noon local time, that's a robbery that doesn't involve weapons. the definition is one that uses force in the commission of the robbery, the sudden snatching of property or money with the intent of depriving the own owner of the property. what police describe is the theft of what police describe is $43 worth of swisher sweet cigars. mike tobin working the story. what more do we expect from police today? will there be a video that goes public? can you confirm that? >> reporter: well, i can't confirm that. they did indicate that more was going to be released, more is going to be released following -- or with responses to all of the sunshine law requests and lawsuits that are facing the police department right now that they're dealing

with. we also got some more of the narrative out of these incident reports. there was an accomplice according to the incident report. accomplice goes by the name of johnson, and johnson received this stolen box of cigars from michael brown. again, according to the incident report. and what you really get out of that is a much different narrative than we have heardthug that michael brown was just minding his own business and gunned down in this cold blood. now we have the their ty of an individual -- narrative of an individual who went in, roughed up a convenience store clerk in the process of stealing a box of city bars. really a penny ante type of robbery, less than $50 in value getting out the door. but the gentle giant image that was created around michael brown is much different than the images that you now see from the security video. again, intentionally released by police, i would imagine, because it bolsters their narrative of the police officer, essentially, getting roughed up in the police

cruiser. their narrative that the police officer was injured and that all happening before the shots were fired. bill: mike, the convenience store worker would be a critical witness in all this, too, and i have not seen any accounts of his, his description about what happened. i don't know if he's even gone public. i mean, perhaps he's not for very good reason at the moment. given that, why wait six days before you come out with these images? what would explain that? >> reporter: well, now you'd have -- i'd need to get inside the police department's head to really answer that question. but as far as what they have said is they've acted out of an abundance of caution. they have responded to threats that came in over social media of harm to the officer, harm to the officer's family. and what you saw very clearly out here on the street, that you have a very impassioned mob, you have an angry mob that feels that an injustice has been done. you saw immediately after this information was released they're

still not satisfied. they immediately took back to the streets and started demonstrating. we're hearing the narrative that a box of cigars is not worth an individual's life. of course, that's going to be countered by the incident in the wake that this came about and whether the officer felt that he was threatened to the point that deadly force was necessary. bill: okay, mike, thank you. get back on it, okay? mike tobin live in ferguson, missouri. that's the quik trip, the convenience store. can you give us the lay of the land? because based on what i read, that was a store that was looted the other night, a victim of arson. but that is not where the robbery allegedly took place that police have now tied michael brown to. is that accurate? >> reporter: the name of the convenience store in question whether the strong-arm robbery allegedly took place has been redacted, but what i'm hearing from locals, it's just about a half mile up the road in that direction. now, up here -- well, we can't really get to it right now -- is

the quiktrip convenience store, and it's the burned-owl hull of a convenience store that has been ransacked. bill: okay, thank you, mike. martha: a lot of questions around dorian johnson who is the accomplice according to this police report. he has been all over television being interviewed as a witness. he has a very different story about what happened that night. we're going to talk about that and all the breaking details now from ferguson when we come back.

martha: lots of breaking news on this friday from ferguson, missouri, where the police have now come forth with the incident report that many people have been wondering where this incident report has been for several days, and now many more questions raised about why they would not have released this earlier given what they claim it contains. and they say that is michael brown on the left-hand side of those pictures roughing up a

convenience store owner during a strong-arm robbery as they refer to it of cigars from that convenience store which the police say happened shortly before the police officer, darren wilson, tried to take michael brown into custody, and that is when the shooting incident then took place that ended in the death of michael brown. so a lot of very big developments on this story. let's bring in our panel to discuss this news this morning. guy benson is a political editor at townhall.com and a fox news contributor, richard fowler is the host of the richard fowler radio show. welcome to both of you. >> hi, martha. martha: good to have you both here this morning. richard, so many questions coming out of all of this. what's your reaction so far? >> listen, i've got to tell you, this is heartbreaking to hear this information, but i think we've really got to wait to see what these videos say, and i think it goes to the same point here. whether or not he was involved in this robbery, the fact is he was unarmed at the time that he had an altercation with the police officer which means the

police officer shouldn't have used force at all. he could have been taken down with a taser, with multiple officers. the fact that the police used force is really where the crux of this story lies for me. i think everybody deserves their day in court, and sadly for michael brown, he won't get that. martha: agreed. legally, that is what the question will ultimately come down to, whether or not the police were justified in any use of force in this situation. and that's going to come down to forensics, and it's going to come down to eyewitness accounts of exactly what happened there, and i do think it's important to remember that part of this because this crime, this strong-arm robbery crime comes with a sentence of about five years in prison in missouri depending on, of course, how that trial would have gone, but we will never know because that day will never play out at this point. guy benson, your thoughts on this, and why would the police in ferguson not have released this information sooner? because that's leading to all kinds of, you know, speculation in and of itself. >> i cannot answer that question because i don't know. it doesn't make any sense to me.

they have been so opaque seemingly at every step of this, and it has only inflamed the situation. they've really bungled not just the initial act of violence, obviously, but everything since then has just been a comedy of errors by this police department which is really too bad. it has made the situation worse. i think the images that we're now seeing allegedly of michael brown perhaps engaged in some criminal conduct, obviously, make him less of a sympathetic figure, but again, trying to rob some cigars from a store does not justify being shot to death minutes later by the police. i think the key point, martha, is we still have a big, missing gap in this timeline. okay, maybe he was robbing the store. at some point there was an altercation with the police officer who's finally been identified. how was it that it went from maybe some sort of struggle, apparently the officer suffered some blows to the head, how did

it get from that point to this unarmed man being shot to death? those are the questions that are really at the core of this controversy, and we still don't have answers. martha: you're absolutely right, because we have to in terms of the legal approach to this keep these two incidents separate -- >> yep. martha: -- in many ways. the question is whether or not the force that was used was justified at all and whether or not this police officer had the capability to take michael brown into custody or to call in the extra forces that he needed to do so, you know, before this shooting took place. that's going to be the main question that everybody's going to have to grapple with here. there's also this very strange sort of set of circumstances surrounding dorian johnson who the police claim was his accomplice. and here is dorian johnson in this video. he has been all over the media as the main witness in this case talking about what happened. never has he discussed being part of any robbery at a

convenience store, you know? why he hasn't been arrested by the police if they believe as they put in this incident report according to what we learned this morning that he was an accomplice? richard, doesn't that seem strange as well? >> i mean, it definitely seems strange, martha, and i agree with guy here. i think there's so many missteps and so many bad calls. not only the ferguson police department, but also by the st. louis county police department. you've really got to call this whole case into question, and i'm very glad, finally, that the governor decided to show up and put some new police officers in, the highway patrol is now in charge. you have cooler heads prevailing here. and i think we saw peaceful protests yesterday both in ferguson and all across the country which speaks to the fact that we are really starting to turn the corner here. and we should use this, whether or not there's guilt on michael brown or the police officer, to really have a conversation about race in this country and how we deal with it so this never happens again. and i think that's where everybody is. martha: yeah. and i would be curious to know if any of this incident report and this convenience store situation was shared with the

department of justice. i mean, i would imagine that it was. you know, we know that eric holder spoke to michael brown's parents yesterday and, of course, a phone call expressing condolences is, i think, completely appropriate in this case. it does feel, guy, that the department of justice sort of put their thumb on the scales to a certain extent which andy mccarthy -- those were his words from my interview with him last night -- suggested. what do you think, guy? >> that's what the holder justice department does time and again, that is their mo. but going back to really, i think, the important point of finding out the truth of why the trigger was pulled, reportedly repeatedly, on this unarmed person, what you just mentioned about mr. johnson and now his credibility problem, i think you have credibility problems galore, right? you have lots of reasons to perhaps be skeptical of anything the police are saying because they've hidden so much information, and they've behaved in such a questionable, to put it lightly, manner. now you have the key eyewitness

who's been a darling of the media talking to anyone who will listen omitting the perhaps relevant fact that he could have been involved in the criminal act, that creates a problem for his credibility. there's no dashboard camera, apparently, in this police cruiser. how are we going to get to the truth here? this is just a mess. martha: and if they believe that he's on that video, why he wasn't arrested and questioned and brought to the police station immediately -- >> yeah. another question for the police. martha: it's very, very odd, richard. >> i tend to agree with that. where i disagree is whether or not dorian jones is a suspect in this case is irrelevant. he wasn't the only eyewitness. there was numerous eyewitnesses that showed there was wrongdoing by the ferguson police department. and i think you're right at the beginning of the segment to say these are two separate things. what happened to mike brown is one thing, the strong-arm robbery is another thing, and i think the trend here, the connecting piece here is the mishandling of this entire thing by the ferguson police department which is why the community so outraged, which is

why the american people are so outraged. this police department has failed on multiple levels, and i think that's the sad part here today, that you cannot trust the police to get something right. martha: yeah. gentlemen, thank you very much. >> thanks, martha. martha: richard fowler, guy benson, good to talk with you. bill: we have mentioned this gentleman's name several times, captain ronald johnson, missouri state police. boy, he made a heck of an impression yesterday afternoon around 4:30 when he came out and said you people talk about boots on the ground, i'm your boots on the ground. two hours later he's walking with protesters on the sidewalks and streets of ferguson, missouri, and already this morning he is back on the scene there live. mike tobin is standing by live. we'll get you back there and figure out how things are going to work throughout the rest of the afternoon and evening hours. zero arrests according to police last night, peaceful protests which is certainly for america and for that town the best sign

♪ bill: been an ongoing morning of breaking news. the story in ferguson, missouri, developing clearly. a moment ago ronald johnson is from the missouri state police. he was the one who came out with the governor yesterday afternoon urging everybody just to relax and bring on a peaceful moment of protest, and indeed, what happened last night. he's back this morning, and this is what he just had to say. >> now make me this promise, make me this promise, because i'm going to respect that. when it's over, we've got to come back. >> okay. >> okay? >> that's a promise. >> i'm going the tell you what. i'm going to make you a promise, and i'm going to do all i can. and what'd i tell you yesterday? >> i didn't i tell you they were going to try and twist it?

bill: we expect to see him throughout the day today and again this evening in ferguson, missouri. that is one piece of news now. the other are the images that have been released by the police department about an hour and ten minutes ago. and this is what they describe. at noon local time last saturday, the individual on the left is said to be that of michael brown in an altercation with a worker or the store owner, we don't know. we have not been given the identity of the gentleman, the shorter gentleman on the right. during a strong-arm robbery that did not involve a weapon, but did involve the theft of what police say is $43 worth of swisher sweet cigars. martha: yeah. you wonder how much of this was shared with michael johnson's family in terms of these pictures and this part of the story and the robbery, and as we continue to, you know, just sort of piece all this together, and you must keep separate in your mind these incidents. there was a robbery, according to the incident report from the police, and then there was what

happened once they tried to take michael brown into custody. and that is the, you know, potentially criminal part of this story. so we're going to continue to stay on top of this. obviously, so many layers to this story and so much breaking news on it this morning. bill: and there's one more thing too. we expect a video not just these still images to come out today. martha: right. bill: we expect the video, because the police chief said it last hour in ferguson that they're going to have a video later today that will enlighten, perhaps further, the incident at the convenience store last saturday afternoon. so wait for that this afternoon. martha: and why dorian johnson, who has given interviews, his lawyer's given interviews f he indeed was involved in this convenience store robbery, why he neglected to share some of those details and what led up to the altercation with the police officer remains a mystery as well in all of this. bill: let's get a break. back in a moment right here on 1 "america's newsroom." of a single candle.

look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins for your eyes, heart and brain. now, with a new easy to swallow coating.
