there's not one way to do something. no details too small. american express open forum. this is what membership is. this is what membership does. we're starting tonight with what's turning out to be a global manhunt. in the british press, the man who was seen this week on video murdering american journalist jim foley. the isis militant who speaks to the camera throughout that video in what sounds like a distinct london accent, and then he ultimately kills mr. foley on tape, the same man then threatens to kill another american journalist, steven sotloff who's also being held in captivity by the same group. that man is now the subject of a murder inquiry and international manhunt by the u.s. department

of justice and the fbi, and british counterterrorism forces and the british equivalent of the fbi which is an agency called mi5. there's an international manhunt for the man who killed jim foley on camera this week. in the british press, though, they have named the guy who did it, kind of named him. in the british press, they're calling him jihadi john, or in the less tabloid press, just calling him john. there are conflicting reports whether or not the man called himself john in front of the morn hostages he and other isis militants have been holding captive in syria. there are conflicting reports as to whether his name really is john and calls himself that or whether the hostages started calling him john as a nickname. bbc radio was first to report a claim that the european and american western hostages held by isis gave nicknames to their three isis captors who had distinct british accents. as a sort of shorthand for the fact that the guy sounded british, the hostages reportedly gave them british nicknames, specifically they nicknamed them john, paul, and ringo. >> in the darkest of black

humor, former hostages of islamic state apparently called their captors john, paul, and ringo after the beatles. a reference to their nationality and english accents. sources have now confirmed to the bbc that islamic state has been using three british jihadis to guard its prized foreign prisoners. the fbi is leading an international manhunt for those responsible for the beheading, as the victim was an american. here, the intelligence forces and the police are also working to identify any british citizens involved in the journalist's murder. >> that report from bbc radio 4. there have been a number of hostages released, apparently from this same cell of terrorists that was holding jim foley. they're all europeans or turks. they've been able to get out apparently because ransom was paid to isis in order to get them released.

we now know those former hostages were debriefed by u.s. intelligence after they got released as part of u.s. planning for that special operations raid last month that made an attempt inside syria to go free the hostages. based in part on information from those hostages that had been released, that special operations raid took place at an oil refinery near raqqa inside syria. secretary of state chuck hagel says the raid went as planned in every way except for the fact the hostages were not there when they expected them to be. he told reporters yesterday afternoon that he believed the hostages had been at the site that was raided by delta force and other u.s. commandos but the hostages had been moved some time before the raid. now, of course, there are questions about whether a similar raid might be tried again and how good u.s. and european intelligence is about this militant group and where they might be holding hostages. there are some signs, some encouraging signs as far as i'm concerned, that the group has been a little sloppy. the citizen investigative journalist group that's called

bellingcat, today they posted online what appears to be their own research trying to locate an isis militant training camp in mosul inside iraq. last month apparently isis posted a bunch of propaganda photos showing one of their training camps they said was in the mosul area, and these are clearly bragging photos. they want to show off how many young men they're training, just how young some of these kids are that are apparently turning up at the isis training camps. they want to show off their weapons and how disciplined they are, how apparently well-funded they are wearing a bunch of snazzy matching uniforms and all the rest of it. but if you look closely, apparently these folks at bellingcat have been looking closely and noticed isis has been sloppy enough in posting the photos to have left a lot of identifying infrastructure in the background of these photos, so these pictures, see the arrows on the pictures? they're pointing out what appear to be things like bridges and other big hard to move, hard to disguise, distinctive

architecture in the background of a bunch of different photos taken from a bunch of different angles and posted online by isis. by using those photos and online photography and map databases like flash earth and panaramio, this journalism group thinks they've identified the exact spot along the tigris river in mosul where it appears isis has built this camp and where they've posted all these pictures from. and it's absolutely possible that maybe this citizen journalism effort is wrong. maybe this little tract of farmland that now appears to have lots of new construction on it is not exactly where isis has this training camp full of fighters in mosul. but maybe it is, and the fact that isis has left enough clues online to potentially leave behind that kind of trail in their online presence, well, that shows a level of sort of cockiness and sloppiness. it shows a level of how convinced they are of their own invincibility.

that has to be heartening to people who are trying to hunt them down. and people are trying to hunt them down. the u.s. government announced today that u.s. military has completed 93 separate air strikes against isis targets. most of them in and around mosul, specifically in and around the biggest dam in iraq which is just outside mosul. the u.s. military says there have been more than 1,000 aerial sorts over iraq in this mission to target isis. most of them are surveillance flights, but nearly 100 of them have been air strikes thus far, and that's just since august 8th, nearly 100 air strikes. the family of jim foley, his parents last night apparently okayed the release of this e-mail which they received from the isis militants who were holding their son before they killed him this week. it's an all-caps misspelled, letter in which the group promises they're going to kill jim foley. in that letter, isis also

complained about these u.s. air strikes against the group. isis calls the air strikes cowardly. "now you return to bomb the muslims of iraq once again. this time resorting to aerial attacks. all the while, cowardly shying away from a face-to-face confrontation." more than anything, isis wants the united states to invade iraq again. and i suppose their greatest dream would be if the u.s. invaded iraq and syria. they want ground war with u.s. troops on their own territory. in the aftermath of jim foley's execution and that execution video being posted online on tuesday of this week, and the threats to another american journalist, steven sotloff in that same video, the reaction globally has taken off in sort of two parallel tracks. one of them is the clues that isis has inadvertently provided as to who they are, how they be got at, including up to accent

analysis of the voice of foley's killer from the video. one track is a manhunt. one track is a murder inquiry. the other track is about the larger scale, wholesale strategy to defeat this group. and in the last 24 hours, on 3 separate occasions, that second track about how to defeat isis has a group, that has led to three escalating instances over the course of 24 hours in which american officials have basically threatened that we are about to have an american war in syria. the first mention happened yesterday morning in a radio interview when deputy national security adviser ben rhodes told npr that the united states is not ruling out additional action against isis beyond the air strikes against them in iraq already. mr. rhodes said specifically that we would not restrict ourselves by geographic boundaries. >> we don't rule anything out when it comes to the protection of americans and the disruption of terrorist plotting against the united states.

so we would not restrict ourselves by geographic boundaries when it comes to the core mission of u.s. foreign policy which is the protection of our people. >> would not restrict ourselves by geographic boundaries when it comes to protecting our people. that was yesterday morning. then yesterday late afternoon, at the pentagon, a joint briefing by defense secretary chuck hagel and chairman of the joint chiefs, general martin dempsey. chuck hagel spoke about it a bit more obliquely. he basically just said we're keeping our options open when reporters were asking him about whether or not the u.s. is about to start bombing syria. he said we're keeping our options open, we're not ruling anything out. general dempsey for his part, he was more blunt. watch. >> general, do you believe that isis can be defeated or destroyed without addressing the cross-border threat from syria? and is it possible to contain them? >> yes, the answer is they can be contained. not in perpetuity. this is an organization that has an apocalyptic end of days

strategic vision which will eventually have to be defeated. to your question, can they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in syria, the answer is no. that will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border. >> chairman of the joint chiefs saying, in military terms, isis cannot be defeated unless they're taken on both in iraq and in syria. general dempsey then went on to say that air strikes, alone, couldn't do that. it would have to be a whole of the government approach and said the strategy against isis would happen when we have a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating isis over time. he's not predicting air strikes will occur in syria, at least not by the united states of america, but he did say fighting them in syria is what it would take to beat them. in case that was not putting us on notice bluntly enough, the white house put ben rhodes out again today to do the white house briefing and he made it

very, very, very clear that u.s. military action over the border inside syria is now under active consideration by our government. >> we certainly agree that any strategy to deal with the isil organization has to deal with both sides of the border. iraq and syria. we are going to do what is necessary to protect americans, and so if we see plotting against americans, we see a threat to the united states emanating from anywhere, we stand ready to take action against that threat. we've made very clear time and again if you come after americans, we're going to come after you wherever you are. and that's what's going to guide our planning the days to come. steve? >> has the president signed off on air strikes against isil in syria? >> well, again, i don't want to get ahead of decisions. the president hasn't, you know, been presented with specific military options outside of those that are carrying out current missions in iraq, but we would certainly look at what is

necessary in the long term to make sure we're protecting americans. >> is it fair to stay you're actively considering air strikes against isil targets in syria? >> well, again, you heard the president say we'll be relentless against isil and do what's necessary to protect americans and see that justice is done for what we saw with the barbaric killing of jim foley. so, we're actively considering what's going to be necessary to deal with that threat and we're not going to be restricted by borders. >> we're not going to be restricted by borders. happy friday. apparently, now it's on the table, war inside syria. not war with syria, but maybe some kind of war in syria against isis. against this militant group that the u.s. is already bombing on the other side of the border in iraq. that is now on the table. according to three sort of increasingly aggressive statements from the white house and the pentagon over the past 24 days. but if the u.s. is now actively considering bombing inside

syria, who all is weighing in on that decision? can the white house just make that decision on their own? have they already made that decision? is congress going to weigh in on this decision? is this about to be a new war? the question of whether or not this is a new war was asked specifically at the pentagon and it got a response from defense secretary chuck hagel and from the chairman of the joint chiefs martin dempsey yesterday, that did not inspire confidence as to whether or not we're thinking constitutionally clearly on that subject of a potential new war right now. >> i know the president and you all talk about right now, it's iraq's responsibility to take control of their own country. >> right. >> but isn't the u.s. already at war with isis? >> are you looking at me? >> you're the general. >> do i look like a guy that would answer that question in front of the -- the declaration

of war is a policy decision, not a military decision. >> let the record show that the answer was, are you looking at me? and the defense secretary said, just off camera there, but what he said was, you heard it right, he said, well, you are the general. generals are not supposed to make decisions about whether or not we are going to war or whether we are at war. that's supposed to be us, right? that's supposed to be a policy decision made in our democracy by our elected representatives in washington. that's a policy decision that the military then carries out. after politicians decide it. with more u.s. hostages being held by this isis militant group, with the u.s. already bombing iraq multiple times a day, going after this militant group, with the u.s. officially advising that there's no way to beat that militant group without also bombing them in syria since that group does not recognize the border between iraq and syria, here's the question. do we recognize the border between iraq and syria?

are we about to go to war in syria? and if so, who's deciding that? when's the debate? joining us now is congressman adam schiff of california, senior member of the house intelligence committee. thank you very much for being with us. i appreciate your time tonight. >> you bet. >> that was a rambling rundown of a lot of different things going on. i have to ask you in your position on the intelligence committee if the way that i'm explaining things is wrong in any way, if i'm explaining things in a way that you understand them to be under consideration by the u.s. government right now? >> i think you're explaining them very well. i think the administration is looking at a range of possible options both in iraq, in syria. they're asking the military, okay, what are the different scenarios here? what can we do? what would the effect be? i have to say, rachel, i think the administration is going to conclude that military strikes, air strikes in syria don't make sense at this point. i don't think ben rhodes wants

to rule them out indefinitely, and certainly if there was an effort, we had a good opportunity to rescue some of those other journalists or there was an imminent plot, they're not going to want to say never. but we don't have the same capabilities on the ground in syria that we do in iraq. we don't have our intelligence people on the ground in syria. we don't have a government we can work with in syria. we don't have a capable fighting force like the kurds in syria. and as i think general dempsey pointed out, limited air strikes, alone, aren't going to have much effect unless they're done in conjunction with boots on the ground and as part of a well-coordinated effort. >> in terms of what the u.s. is doing in syria, and making those -- well, we know that the u.s. has taken action in syria in terms of its special operations raid that was disclosed this week by the white house. they said they wouldn't have planned on disclosing it, but they had to. they felt they had to because media outlets were going to report on it, anyway. we know that there has been some limited action inside syria

already. are you saying that we shouldn't see that as sort of the camel's nose under the tent? that isn't the start of anything that the u.s. feels like they're going to continue doing or that they could continue doing in syria? that was a one-off? >> well, i think you're right to be concerned that there's a great potential for mission creep, but that potential exists on both sides of that nonexistent border. if you look at what the president set out as the objectives initially in iraq just a couple weeks ago, it was protecting our personnel and avoiding genocide of the yezidis on that mountaintop. most of the sortties lately have been around the mosul dam, and unless you accept the argument that if the dam broke, it could flood our embassy 300 miles away, it's a pretty slender legal read to say that's to protect our people in baghdad. so that mission has already expanded, and the risk of it expanding further when the goals are pretty broadly defined i think is very significant. one final point, rachel, and that is, congress really does need to be engaged in this just

as you say. the authorization to use military force that are in existence now don't apply here. they don't apply in iraq. and they certainly don't apply in syria. they don't apply because isil is not part of al qaeda, and they don't apply because the terms of the iraq authorization are completely inopposite to the current situation. if we are going to escalate either part of a broad coalition or on our own, the congress needs to be a part of it. the congress needs to authorize it. >> why isn't the congress doing anything on it? obviously congress is on vacation right now, but that's easily remedied. you have said, in the past, that, and you've said recently repeatedly that the congress needs to weigh in on this, that as you put it, the slender legal read for what we're doing right now ought to be addressed, we shouldn't be doing this on constitutional auto pilot. is congress going to step up and what would make them that hasn't made them thus far? >> well, i have to say, i'm skeptical. think the vacation may be convenient right now for the administration, may be

convenient for the congress in the sense that the congress doesn't like to deal with the really tough problems. we haven't wanted to deal with guantanamo, haven't wanted to deal with what kind of due process we should provide there. we haven't wanted to deal with existing antiquated nature of the authorizations that the administration is already acting under even before this latest iraq outbreak. so we have a history of abdicating the really tough calls and the administration knowing how dysfunctional we are isn't necessarily eager to drag us in and await our permission. right now the vacation suits both sides, but the reality is i think from a constitutional point of view, we in the congress are really derelict in what we should be doing and that is having a vigorous discussion with the administration right now about where they're headed, and whether we have the votes in congress and the support of the american people behind that effort. >> your lips to god's ears, sir. congressman adam schiff of california, senior member of the intelligence committee. thanks for being with us on a friday night. i appreciate it, sir. thank you.

all right. much more ahead including the latest from ferguson, missouri, tonight. former governor bob mcdonnell of virginia on the witness stand defending himself and only himself. lots ahead. stay with us. this is charlie. his long day of doing it himself starts with back pain...

to be clear, nothing against golf. i don't play golf. golf courses make me itchy. golf is a thing even if you do not play, you're likely to know about golf, that it is an expensive thing. right? it's expensive. golf is expensive. in virginia one of the places you can play really expensive golf is at a place called kinlock. you pay $50,000 just to join kinlock, but then after you've paid your $50,000 to join, you pay another $11,000 every year in annual dues. wow. rich.

rich. and it looks rich there. even on the scale of golf, that's kinlock. hold that thought. this is virginia governor bob mcdonnell testifying in court today. today was the third straight day he took the stand in his own defense and public corruption trial in richmond, virginia. no photographs, no videotape we can show you of bob mcdonnell on the stand bauds this is federal court in richmond and there aren't any cameras allowed. we do have these sketches and up to the minute updates filed by reporters who doggedly covered this trial from day one. "washington post" live blog of the bob mcdonnell trial is so good i've been neglecting my current spy novel and have been reading the live blog in bed at night before i try and fail to go to sleep. and public corruption charges and public corruption trials, they are inherently interesting things if you're interested in politics and civics and the justice system. but this public corruption trial, it's like all that and a bag of chips because this one

isn't just a public corruption trial. in this one, the defense being mounted by the bob mcdonnell side is bizarre, and salacious, and it is salacious on purpose. prosecutors say that bob mcdonnell basically sold his office. that he sold access to virginia state government. that he took action in numerous ways on numerous occasion on behalf of a rich businessman and his virginia company in exchange basically for bribes. for lots of money. and for luxury gifts from that businessman. and the defense strategy against that has just been amazing to watch. the bob mcdonnell defense is basically, to argue, three things. first one, number one thing they're arguing is maureen mcdonnell, the governor's wife, she's the one who took all the bribes. but she's not a public official. first lady of virginia isn't really a job. she's technically just a private citizen and so, therefore, as a private citizen, the bribes she

accepted by definition, they're not bribes. that's part one of their defense. part two, the defense is arguing that it can't be the case that she accepted bribes in exchange for official acts by her husband, the governor, because they had a terrible marriage. and he didn't like her very much. they never spoke. they hated each other. she was terrible. he couldn't talk to her. so naturally they couldn't conspire to provide this businessman anything of value from the governor's office in exchange for all this money and all these gifts that the businessman gave to the mcdonnell family. this is the part of the defense that's turned the mcdonnell trial into a really lurid spectacle. as governor bob mcdonnell blames everything on his wife, talks about how crazy she is, talks about what a terrible marriage they had, and the whole time it's making himself out to be an innocent bystander and really her victim. >> helder, let me tell you, i got to say, none of us expected the governor to be choked up on the witness stand. one of his lawyers started out with the first question, governor, is it going to be easy

or hard to talk about your marriage? after, heather, a 15-second pause, the governor says nothing, looks down, looks back up and says, it's going to be hard. >> we heard about a love letter that purports to show a rift between the two and even more incredibly this morning, the two are not living together any longer. >> mcdonnell says by the late '90s they began to have arguments privately and more often. mcdonnell said he became physically and emotionally unavailable as he ran and was elected for attorney general and governor. >> by labor day 2011, he wondered, quote, maybe this is the end, telling jurors that after a weekend of uncontrollable anger by maureen mcdonnell, he penned a letter opining, quote, i want to be in love, not watch movies about it. >> she is sitting there with her attorney, they have to be collaborating with this as she is described as kind of out there, getting all these gifts and all these things he doesn't know about. >> that's the assumption, that mrs. mcdonnell knows that what bob mcdonnell is saying about

her is coming, that she anticipates it. she's very stoic in the courtroom. she's not showing a lot of emotion, bill. it's almost as if she expects to hear what her husband is about to say about her. >> these personal details that the former governor of virginia has been divulging in court, they are none of our business, right? this is their marriage. these are their personal marital difficulties. it's just not our business. but their two legal teams have chosen to make their defense to corruption charges all of their personal business. and there is a problem here. aside from just good taste and decency. because even if you do believe that after 38 years of marriage, this husband and wife didn't speak to one another, and she was just cray-cray and therefore these two couldn't have conspired to play ping-pong together let alone accept gifts for their family that bob mcdonnell would pay for as official acts as virginia governor, even if you believe the first two parts of the defense, there is still the problem for bob mcdonnell that not everything on the bribe list

went to maureen. or went to the rest of the family. a lot of it really did just go to him. directly. i mean, there's the matter of the white ferrari. which the businessman loaned to the governor for free, in which the governor drove on at least two occasions we've now learned. these are not pictures of maureen in the driver's seat, right? that's bob. on the stand this week, bob mcdonnell explained he didn't even really want to drive the ferrari. his explanation for accepting that bribe was, quote, my kids kind of egged me on. okay. well, there's also the matter of the rolex bought for the governor by the businessman. on the stand this week, bob mcdonnell's explanation for that was he didn't even realize it was from the businessman. he said on the stand this week, quote, the packing that i got said, from santa. okay, governor. how about the all expenses paid trip to the lake vacation home? the lakehouse, the boat, the ferrari, all paid for by this businessman. didn't you accept that, mr. governor?

bob mcdonnell said on the stand this week he didn't really see that as something someone else was paying for, didn't see it as an event. i didn't see an event, he said, i saw time with family. in someone else's house with someone else's boat and someone else's ferrari. you mean somebody had to pay for that? the most amazing claims, though, at least to me, are the ones about golfing. so the strategy is to blame all the gift taking on his wife, right? to say she's crazy, to say she took all this stuff. bob mcdonnell didn't even know about most of the stuff she took. he's just an innocent bystander, didn't have any part in it, but bob mcdonnell's wife, you know what, she doesn't golf as far as we can tell. she wasn't there at the multiple golf outings at the $50,000 plus $11,000 a year golf resort that bob mcdonnell kept going to time and time again oftentimes with his sons, never paying for anything, never reporting any of it as a gift. all of it paid for by this businessman.

the golf gifts to bob mcdonnell and his sons included multiple rounds of golf at this very expensive course, clothes from the pro shop. a bag for golf clubs. the another bag for golf clubs. golf clubs, themselves. food and drink and caddies and all the rest of it. individual outings to the golf club sometimes cost more than $1,000 a pop. which the governor never paid a dime for and never reported as a gift. on the stand this week, here's how the "washington post" live blog explains the bob mcdonnell defense on the golf issue. bob mcdonnell was fuzzy about whether he had personally gone into the pro shop to buy items. "i know my sons might have gone in," he said. "somehow we did end up with some shirts. i know we had a couple of things to eat." you know, like, nuts and grubs and stuff that we foraged from under some oak trees. somebody had to pay for all that stuff? somehow we ended up with some shirts. the defense in the bob mcdonnell trial is salacious.

incidentally, in my opinion, i think it's unbelievably insulting to the man's poor wife. the defense even managed to slip into the governor's testimony this week that the governor is living with his priest because he can't bear to live with his wife anymore. naturally i should mention also that the priest right now is also blogging about the trial. the mcdonnell defense is lurid. it would be rejected as too much melodrama and too mean to the lady by any self-respecting telenovela. it's what they're trying to do to get him off the hook. they're hoping it's tabloid enough that it will distract us from this guy. the one in the rolex that he got from santa. the defense continues. governor mcdonnell takes the stand again on monday. we'll be right back. once there was a girl who never settled for ordinary...

it's now been 13 days since the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager named mike brown in ferguson, missouri. these are live pictures from the streets of ferguson tonight. like last night, things appear to be calm on the streets of ferguson. in terms of developments in this case, local police have now released two separate incident reports about the shooting of michael brown by a ferguson police officer. the reports, themselves, i have to tell you, now that they've finally been released, are not exactly long on detail. this is the report from the st. louis county police department. it's just a little bit more than a page on this report, you can see michael brown's name. you can see that he was an adult. he was 18. can also see that the incident happened on saturday afternoon

and you can see that the officer in question in the shooting is officer wilson. a section titled "occurrence details," this is all we get. see the address of the crime there, address of the shooting there. that's about it. those are all the details. right now, a grand jury is being presented with the evidence in this shooting. that grand jury will ultimately make the decision about whether or not a crime was committed in this shooting of mike brown, and whether or not to indict officer wilson for shooting him. the county prosecutor's office says that no further details of the shooting will be released while that grand jury is reviewing this case. that's why they tell us this incident report has basically no reporting in it. there's even less information in the ferguson police department incident report that was released after this one. in the ferguson report, michael brown's name does not appear at all. officer wilson's name does not appear, either. in the ferguson report, really there is nothing much in this report at all. according to protocol, the ferguson police department had no legal obligation to generate

an incident report because the investigation was handed over to the county police department as soon as the incident happened. that means we've got two incident reports now, no information in either of them, and still a ton of questions that need answering surrounding the shooting of michael brown and a grand jury process and department of justice process investigating this both of which are expected to proceed at a pretty slow pace. joining us now is antonio french, he's alderman for the city of st. louis. auld alderman french, thank you for being back with us. i appreciate it. i know you must be tired after this long week. >> it has been a long week. >> yeah. let me ask your reaction to these incident reports. the decision by the prosecutor's office to not release more information while the grand jury is still in session, it seems like this might be the end in terms of official information about the shooting of mike brown, at least for a while. >> yeah, i think what we're seeing throughout this whole process is really missteps on the local authority's part at how they are releasing information, when they release

information, and how much information they release. and that's unfortunate because besides the tragedy of mike brown's death, the other thing we really have to fix and people want to see work done on is restoring faith in the justice system here locally. and they are not helping the situation. >> this is the end of a long two weeks, as you said, a long two weeks punctuated by pretty violent clashes, by more than 100 arrests. i can hear people in the streets behind you now. i can hear that there are still some people out there, obviously in relative terms things are pretty calm. how would you describe the community sentiment right now, what people want and how they're feeling? >> people should not interpret these smaller crowds as in any way a measure of less anger or less frustration. the highway patrol and local authorities have used some pretty strong means to break up these crowds. you can't stand, you can't protest. static protests, they call them.

threat of arrest. so less people are out here, but the anger and frustration remains. >> what are you anticipating about mike brown's funeral on monday? we know it's going to be held at a venue that can hold a lot of people. we're expecting a lot of public attention and also just a big crowd. what do you think is going to happen, and how important is that going to be? >> yeah. i think you are going to see a lot of people at the funeral, outside the funeral, after the funeral. i think a lot of people are going to congregate down here on west florissant. you know, the death of this young man touched a lot of people. it's an issue that resonates with people not just here in st. louis, but all over the country and the world. and i think monday is going to be another opportunity for people to show their support for the family and their desire to see justice, whatever that is, but definitely a trial in this case. >> i have to ask you, alderman french, i saw you're tweeting today about voter registration efforts. you have a new role in that

regard locally. can you tell us what's going to happen in terms of trying to build political engagement out of this? >> yeah. i think our next steps are trying to turn this moment into a movement. we want to see this continue long after the cameras have left. we want to repair the problems that led to the situation in the first place. the african-american population, which is a 67% majority, get them active and involved with the government. i think a lot of problems you saw this week, effect the escalation of the situation, the militarization of the situation was a result of having a government that doesn't relate, have any empathy, sympathy or concern really for that local population. >> antonio french alderman for the city of st. louis, talking about turning this moment into a movement. hope you get some rest this weekend. thank you very much for being with us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up next, i will admit

okay. i'm about to attempt a rachel mad dough show slide show. i hope i can remember how they work. i know we have to dim the lights, please. good. dim the lights. yes. there we go. first slide, please. in this picture we have a bicycle, right? but on the sidewalk what you can see is chalk drawing of the bicycle's shadow traced in chalk on the sidewalk. next slide, please. here we have graffiti of a bug. do you think the fire hydrant?

their shadows have been outlined in chalk. the chalk shadows, definitely those are not going to last. okay. let's see the mailbox, please. same artist. thank you. this popped up in north hampton, massachusetts. ordinary downtown street. ordinary mailbox. surprise shadow drawing that makes you stop and wonder where it came from. next slide. the shopping cart shadows might be my favorite. the detail involved. they found this in miami. different town, same artist. last slide, please. the shadow drawings can be almost hard to see. once you're on to them you can pick them out. it makes us see an otherwise overlooked unremarkable thing. like these unremarkable news paper boxes. if we can have the lights again, please. it's a neat trick. we equate seeing with light. if you want to siebert, you turn on the light. but shadows, the an accepts of light, they also help us see but

in a different way. and sometimes unsettled way. there's a joke about being afraid of your own shadow, right? apparently we as mammals can be -- cats can be scared of their shadows. dogs can be scared on their shad shadow. and toddlers on youtube are outraged by the thing that's following them. the human artist who made these shadow drawings started a week ago. ellis gallagher started a decade ago. the story of his work is he got mugged one night years ago. afterward, he could not shake the memory of the shadow of his attacker. so as an antidote, because he was afraid, he started drawing shadows of fire hydrants, cars, buildings, street signs. he said this work won't be around. god knows it could be gone tomorrow. but until then, this work, this

drawing the shadows, it helps us see more things than we usually see. this week in st. louis, missouri, a group of friends got together and started doing a distant cousin of the same kind of work. they started drawing another kind of shadow. they started with a list of 20 names of unarmed african-american men killed by police officers both in st. louis and around the country. they named it chalked unarmed. they asked people around the country to draw these chalk shadows for victims from their towns. draw them in the towns and send a picture to #chalkedunarmed. have someone trace one of you, the violence that happened to you. it started with a man on the sidewalk here. derrick lany said it was the idea to borrow the classic imagery from tv police shows

where they draw the outline of a murder victim. it results in the death of black men, even though they are unarmed. today mr. lany and his chalked unarmed project got an anonymous donation of chalk, the big kind you need when you're drawing on the sidewalk. #chalkedunarmed. with the strive and the fury that followed in missouri, these stories, they leave a mark. they leave an impression on everybody who is part of it and all of us who watched this happen the last two weeks. stories like this cast a shadow. and, yes, the sunrise happens. the news isn't always going to be about ferguson, missouri. but they were there before this crisis handled. they are still there now. and we could see them nationally

all of a sudden because of this bright light on ferguson and the killing of that young man and the burning uproar of the community and the response. in the absence of that bright light, those things are still there. and they're not just there in ferguson. judging from around the -- the response around the country, you also know those questions and tensions wherever you are. all week we have been passing armed pictures from vigils protests from atlanta, austin, san francisco, iowa city, hands up philadelphia. hands up in oklahoma city. greensboro, north carolina. houston, and chicago. all over the country. these questions and tensions and in equitities are everywhere. they have outlasted our best intentions of fixing them. as ferguson prepares for mike brown's funeral on monday and as staten island marches for eric garner and as the grand jury gets ready for the second day of evidence and the department of justice weighs its civil rights plan and as the movement changes, are we going to keep seeing this as clearly as we

have these past two weeks? how long can we keep seeing this and will it be long enough to start seeing it better? monday is mike brown's funeral in st. louis. >> we"weekends with alex witt" starts now. weighing the options. how far will the u.s. go to stop isis after the brutal killing of an american? and is the group a direct threat to the u.s. today? two officers who pleased the streets during protests have now been suspended. we'll tell you why >> rapid paul's trip to central america. how might it fit with a possible white house round in 2016. i'll talk to someone who was there with them. explosion in the sky. a test flight goes wrong. we'll tell you what the company behind the rocket hopes to accomplish.
