michael brown and today police chief thom jackson says they will do it at 8:00 this morningment the events here took a turn yesterday with peaceful protest. many are attributing it to the new police captain thousand in charge. hundreds of protesters took to the streets of ferguson thousand accompanied by law enforcement including missouri highway patrol captain ron johnson. >> people have a chance to say what they want to say. it's peaceful. i think it's going good. >> spending their time shooting each other teargassing, going to war hating each other. what does that solve? what does it prove? >> beautiful tonight. it's great. it's very peaceful. i love it. >> reporter: throughout the week protests at night -- [ chanting ] -- and during the day in ferguson have been confronted by formidable police presence criticized for the aggressive level of force and use of military equipment. yesterday missouri governor jay nixon put the state highway

patrol in command of oh ferguson. >> i grew up here. this is my community and my home. therefore, it means a lot to me personally that we break the cycle of violence defuse the tension and build trust. >> reporter: johnson instilled a less combative approach to police tactics. >> we are a community. we're all in it together. >> reporter: the week's events culminated from saturday's shooting of 18-year-old michael brown. witnesses say the unarmed teen had his hands up when he was shot multiple times by a police officer. an investigation into his death could take two more weeks. attorney general eric holder spoke to michael brown's family yesterday. he promised the justice department will conduct a full investigation into michael's death. ben? >> thank you. president obama spoke on thursday about the ferguson shooting and ongoing protests. he called for police and citizen there is to respect each other.

>> relost a young man, michael brown, in heartbreaking and tragic circumstances. he was 18 years old. 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 to use excessive force against peaceful are protests. >> the president asked everyone in ferguson to remember "we are all part of one american family." missouri governor nixon is in jefferson city the state capital. governor, good morning. >> good morning. >> we heard the president say when something like this happens there is an obligation by state authorities, local authorities, police to be open and transparent about how they are investigating the death. how is it that nearly a week after the death of an 18-year-old, unarmed teenager that the name of the police officer has not been released. >> couple of things.

first of all we needed to make an operational shift to change the tone attitude and activities in the area which we did last night bringing in the highway patrol shifting the organization. we had zero arrests. our folks did a good job reaching out. as far as the prosecution, i was called early for dual investigations -- one from the justice department, one from the locals. i think those names need to get out. it will be another step in healing. we are hopeful that quickly the names get out. our focus last night was -- yesterday, all week ended up yesterday -- was to make sure we allowed people to speak but we kept safety. >> i know you have made a change in putting captain ronald johnson in charge. it seemed to have helped last night. for nearly a week it's looked like a war zone -- armored vehicles, teargas. how is that defensible? >> well as we saw that acceleration, both of the confrontations as well as the

amplitude of the force it became obvious to me we needed a change. that's why i brought in the highway patrol put captain johnson in front and why folks backed up last night, got in the community as opposed to into mrats. >> you have been criticized for what some call a slow response. do you think that's fair? >> we are focused on how to move forward herement as we saw the acceleration the dramatic action of changing the command structure was important. having the state highway patrol take the lead was important. i made the decision yesterday. le we are seeing the benefits of it already. >> there has been criticism that police departments many the united states have become excessively militarized. what are your thoughts on that? >> i think it's a legitimate discussion. you know i was attorney general back many

back in the '90s with officers in schools and relationship policing. when you distance that with armor and whatnot it makes it difficult for people to connect. it intimidates them. at this time with this horrible death and the need for people to speak out and have their motions heard in a public fashion, it restricted that. this is a good example of what can happen if there is too much armor and enough worki force there? >> well, as we work through today and moving forward, our goal is to get this area secured and make sure folks can get safely around there, that they are able to speak out. if folks want to come and visit they are going to be safe. as we move forward the investigations need to accelerate so we can get answers and justice at the end of this. it will be a complicated time. as i said before, this has raised deeper questions than just the operational pieces here or just this particular case. this scratched a wound in our communities across the state and across the country that's much

deeper. we all need to recognize that. >> governor the city of ferguson is nearly two-thirds black. yet the police force is almost entirely white. does that need to change? >> i believe we try to do the best we can to make sure the government agencies reflect the people the changing demographics there. the bottom line is that stuff is on the table to look at. how do you do a better job as you move forward? most important we need to keep people safe get justice while allowing people to speak out at the same time. >> governor nixon, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. in the next half hour we'll take a look at the rising use of military equipment and tactics by police. credit sicks say it is -- credit sicks say it is turning police officers into soldiers and occupiers. robin williams's widow says the actor and comedian had parkinson's disease when he took his life.

she released a statement saying robin's sobriety was intact. he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of parkinson's disease which he was not ready to share publically. dr. agus what would robin williams have been experiencing with the early stages of parkinson's? >> good morning. there is a direct link between depression and parkinson's. people with parkinson's disease have a significant increase in depression. it is a loss of cells in the brain that make dopamine which is involved in depression. there is data from several years ago showing people with depression have a higher rate of parkinson's disease. it's a chicken and egg argument. maybe the depression was an early sign of parkinson's or maybe one led to the other. >> we have obviously seen high profile actor michael j. fox struggle with parkinson's. he's had a fruitful career. that's maybe not the normal

course of events. is it possible this added to his depression? >> no question. clearly parkinson's has depression associated with it. half a million people this the united states now have parkinson's disease. the course is varied. in many people it's a very slow progression. we have drugs to take away many of the symptoms. they can't yet either cure or reverse the disease, but they can slow its progression symptomatically. >> i'm sure you saw michael j. pox was stunned to learn his friend robin williams had parkinson's disease though he had supported the foundation for a long time. is it possible he could have hid the early tremors? he was so prolific working nonstop. >> early on the disease has minimal symptoms. you may be diagnosed -- michael j. fox was diagnosed at age 30

and didn't announce until six or seven years later. there is a lag. >> i'm wonderering if there is a link between parkinson's and substance abuse. robin williams has been forthcoming about his issue ares with substance abuse. >> there is not a known link between parkinson's and things like alcohol and cocaine. whether they were connected or not, we won't know and we can't know. there is no known direct link between them. >> dr. agus thank you so much. >> thank you. >> this morning iraq's government is preparing for a change. nouri al malaiki will resign. isisle controls much of northern iraq. charlie d'agata is in dohuk, iraq, where the crisis isn't over. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the decision to step aside comes

after pressure from the united states and others who pledged more military support provided he gives up power and u.s. air strikes and air drops have already been credited with saving countless lives. many of the refugees at this camp escaped starvation on mount sinjar, three times the number the u.s. camp was designed to hold but down from the peak of 22,000 during the worst of the isis onslaught. we met awi duke who managed to escape with his young family. they risked being discovered by militants as they made their way down the mountain into the camp. he said kurdish peshmerga mely shahs aren't capable of taking on isis alone. do you think we can help? >> we want everybody who can help these people we want to get out. >> reporter: the fact so many

were able to get off the mountain led to the decision to suspend air drops. the areas now under the grip of isis stretch far beyond. the u.n. says 95,000 refugees have passed through these areas since august 6th seeking food water, shelter and, most importantly, safety. for now, there is enough food and water to go around but it can't last forever. aid workers say this part of iraq is facing a humanitarian crisis as isis expands the offensive and pushes people to seek refuge in kurdish controlled areas. the hope is the new leadership will unite the country so kurdish forces join forces with the iraqi military to defeat isis likely with the support of u.s. air power. for "cbs this morning" i'm charlie d'agata in dohuk, northern iraq. >> an emotional reunion for two

amish sisters and their family after an apparent kidnapping. they were missing for about 24 hours in northern new york state. they turned up after a prayer service for their safe returnment the search for the 7-year-old and 12-year-old began thursday night. it is believed they were taken from are the roadside vegetable stand. the girls were dropped off cold and wet at a house just 13 miles tr their own. >> we prayed for the family shortly after we came up here and got good news. it really is a wonderful night for the miller family and the community. >> police aren't saying what happened to the girls or if they are looking for anyone in the apparent abduction. >> new developments in the killing of an illinois woman in bali. the body of sheila von wiese-mack was found in a suitcase. her daughter and boyfriend are charged in the murder lt the couple is not cooperating with

investigators. they are being tested for drugs. >> take a look at this. a crowd welcomed pope francis when he celebrated mass in south korea. he's reaching out to the country's young people. seth doane is in seoul where francis is afflicting the comfortable as he says. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. here in one of asia's largest economieses the pope has been speaking out against consumerism. we saw him picked up in a simple, boxy kia soul from the airport. there were weather problems. he was supposed to fly in to mass in a helicopter ho. instead he got on the train much to the surprise of oh passengers on board. when pope francis arrived the 50,000-seat stadium was packed with the crowd chanting "long live the pope." during mass he told the faithful that outwardly affluent

societies are full of inner emptiness. he acknowledged a still raw wound for korea after the ferry disaster which killed approximately 300 people mostly students on a field trip. >> this event brought grief and confirmed solidarity. >> reporter: pope francis met privately with a dozen survivors and relatives of those who died on board. other families of the dead are staging a hunger strike to push the korean government to pass a special law to authorize an independent investigation into the sinking of the ferry. some have been on strike for a day or two. kim yong oh has been here more than a month now. the pants used to fit you and they are this loose.

he showed me how thin he's become subsisting on water and salt. his 16-year-old daughter was one of the killed. he's reading a book of the pope's quotes and likes the concept of embracing those who have the least power. so, he said i'm asking the pope to embrace the bereaved families and not tergt about us until the fight ends. the pope has been speaking about peace and reconciliation with north korea and targeting the message to young people. part of the church the that is really growing here. >> a smart move by a smart pope. seth thanks so much. >> as much as the pope says it's the images that come out of the meetings and of course rim ride hg in a kia soul -- >> looking at this for the last few minutes. >> the pope mobile cost half a million dollars. this is a $16,000 car. it is advertised with the artist

psy. they are saying the pope went gangnam style. >> he's a jesuit and they take a vow of poverty. to him it's normal. we think it is extraordinary. >> he may be in philadelphia next year. 7:19. ahead this morning the band leader fired from the ohio state un >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by kohl's. find your yes. kohl's.

doesn't also have to handle messaging features in the main app. >> what's your conclusion about it? would you get the app and feel comfortable? >> you know if you don't feel comfortable with facebook and there are a lot of good reasons not to to be worried about what facebook is doing with your data then you can uh make a choice about whether to use it or whether you want to use the app. if you are already using the facebook app you are familiar with the privacy controls, comfortable with what you are sharing on facebook. you're going to have to get the app eventually. facebook is going to force users to install it. i tried it. it's really not that bad. >> a follow up for the dwindling minority not on facebook. if anybody i know has me on their contact list and they choose the app, i go with them don't i? without any choice. >> you could. so you can actually choose. any person who installs the app can deny it access to the

are actually very similar to what snapchat wants, what's app -- which facebook is in the process of buying. i think it is really a measure of how much people distrust facebook that when they saw this they got extremely upset. in some cases reasonably. it's not that different from what other apps do as well. >> do you see facebook pulling back or do you think the change is here to stay? >> i don't think they will pull back on the messenger app. they will encourage people to download the app. i have seen facebook make encouraging moves around privacy. >> thank you so much. ahead, the cover band you should get to know. ♪

>> just the way families fly, you know with a babe in arms. what's wrong with that? >> it's something a lot of people have grown acusp tommed to. it's not safe. we wouldn't think of holding our infant in our arms in a car at 50 miles an hour. why would we do it at 250 miles an hour in an airplane? it's just not safe. you want to make sure everyone is restrained. it gives them the best chance of surviving an accident. >> we now have all 50 states in the past couple of decades have developed rules to wear seat belts were kids, use car seats, et cetera. why do you think you couldn't get it done as chair of the ntsb? why are the airlines resistant to it? >> it all goes back to a very old rule. talking about half a century ago. not based on science. they carved out this exemptions for lap-held children and said it was okay.

it just didn't keep up with the standards that we know about restraints. 50 years ago we didn't buckle up in cars. a lot has changed. this is just a glaring gap in an otherwise incredibly safe industry. >> peter, you have reminded us of a plane crash that happened 25 years ago in sioux city that shows how important the issue is. >> united airlines flight 232 made an emergency crash landing when it lost its hydraulics in sioux city. 185 people died. 111 survived. of those who died there were four kids held on laps of parents. three were seriously injured. one killed. when the ntsb investigated it was a no-brainer. they realized in a survivable hard g landing nobody in this room, nobody watching the show could maintain a grasp on their kids. the kids became missiles. it was an easy fix. provide restraint seats for kids under 2 based on their weight. 0 to 20 pounds a rear-tasing

restraint face. 20 to 40 a forward-facing seat. >> i want to ask you about this. i have three young children. i have traveled a lot on airplanes. i never thought i needed one. i figured it was safe. should you put your kids in a car seat booster seat? you should bring it on the plane? >> absolutely. car seats, yes. booster seats, no. the reason you want car seats is they have been tested to be used in airplanes. almost every car seat you buy if you look on the side of it there will be a label that says approved by the f.a.a. for use on airplanes. so you do want to use the car seats. most kids will grow out of the car seat by age 4 or 5 depending on the size. they will be able to sit in a belt on the airplane at that point in time. >> i absolutely understand the safety. i have had three kids i have to travel with. it would be impossible to travel with them and carry three car seats with me. it would be impossible.

i have to travel with two other people. >> that's why the ntsb made an urgent safety recommendation that the f.a.a. mandate the airlines to provide the seats. there was a statement in 2005 which is absurd. they said we are not going to require the airlines to do this because if we did they would just raise airfares and people who would fly would be killed in automobile accidents. when i want them to talk about highway safety, i will ask them. this is about airline safety. >> they gave us a statement this morning that said they encourage parents to use child restraint systems instead of their laps but requiring families to purchase tickets for families under 2 would significantly raise the net price of travel for those families. >> yes, but do you know what's interesting? the ntsb found absolutely no correlation between increase in airfare and increase in highway deaths. >> you regard this as your greatest regret in your tenure at the ntsb that you did not get this accomplished.

will you see it accomplished in your lifetime? >> i absolutely believe it will be. a lot of it will be because of passengers and their convenience. when you look at harmonization around the world, the united states has different standards than great britain, than other countries. if you buy a ticket from one airline to another, parents could be faced with different rules in different countries. it doesn't make sense. we want to make sure children are safe on airplanes and no parent would ever willingly put their child in a less safe situation than they are. you want to make sure they are safe on planes. >> all right. thank you so much. coming up they are the band in demand by other bands. see how walk off the e
