11:08 am
about what they call police brutality and racial profiling on theater going to there for us. tensions chaos violence and really may have have been an unraveling on the streets here for these last couple of nights tear gas had been used. oh and. of course people have been coming out onto the street in the hundreds and thousands since the killing of an unarmed eighteen year old michael brown took place here the community is outraged because the young man had no weapon however he was fired at multiple times by a police officer and he died as a result of this people have been coming out onto the streets protesting violence has been erupting and most certainly we can get in front of our eyes to d.t.r.
11:09 am
gas was fired at least twice and one of those times when the numbers of people in the street really had died down it was only just a couple dozen people who live in this neighborhood and of course we do not expect any of these tensions to die down because the locals that we've spoken to most certainly intend to continue coming out to protest in our region what happened and while we don't know exactly what unravelled the police have been claiming that an altercation took place between my old michael brown and this police officer but many of the details remain a big mystery including the identity of this police officer who we know now is currently on leave and this is something that the local community wants to change they want to see accountability happen to certainly police misconduct and police brutality has been a huge issue in this country throughout. last several years. and to see is across the latest developments in missouri of course you can also follow her on twitter for updates as they happen and pictures from the scene. coming up washington says
11:10 am
its airstrikes against jihad is in iraq are not enough and begins arming kurdish forces in the region that's after the jihad is themselves too cold of numerous weapons made in america all the details are coming shortly. on marriage in the financial world. to goldman's cannot stop exuberance only taking credit. in life there are absolutely.
11:11 am
choose your language. appealing to make it without any financial center stay still for the six months later the place you receive the treatments that you can sense can. choose to give thanks that you think to. choose the stories that impact the. truth be access to your. welcome back this is our team now ongoing u.s. air strikes and geodes in iraq and not contain or broken the momentum of the militants and that's according to the pentagon washington has so far been reluctant to launch another ground invasion but is now beefing up the flow of weapons to the region u.s. officials say they're seeking to further undermine the so-called islamic state by
11:12 am
arming kurdish resistance fighters in northern iraq so far there are only sending light weapons and ammunition but the kurds also want to rocket launchers and tanks as are just going to reports of some of the weapons used by the jihad is also made in america. thousands of iraqis are helpless in the face of terror from the islamic state the jihadi militants are ruthless and well armed there's the hottest forces in iraq are probably the strongest the hardest forces in the region in the world are equipped with advanced american weapons and that's how they were able to ethnic cleansing minorities christian and it's the the minorities from many areas in kurdistan or south of go to stan and now they're attacking kurdistan u.s. officials see no alternative to sending weapons to combat the extremists who now fight with american weapons you cannot confront isis with flowers at the same time flooding an already deeply divided country with more weapons could backfire in the
11:13 am
future. there is no american military solution to life i think in iraq the only lasting solution is for iraqis come together and form an inclusive government president obama may want a unified iraq but the kurds have long wanted out and arming kurdish militia forces could lead to a permanent breakup of iraq any peaceful cessation of the kurds will be brought on light to bring the region several days and multi-ethnic cities as well as major oil they say both kurdish and testing cared for and now it's pressing as the current defense needs are the question is whether the weapons provided to the fence today you've. been watching them pay to track down are. in every side of the conflict in iraq is now using american weapons let's take a closer look at how sad happened the u.s.
11:14 am
military pulled out of the country in two thousand and eleven but they left a deadly legacy more than nine billion dollars worth of weapons washington also armed moderate and to us and forces in neighboring syria in the last few years but jihadists went on to seize some of those weapons and when these laws. mixtape militants rolled across northern iraq the also captured some american the firepower there too so now the u.s. arms are already on to science of the barricades in iraq washington is having to send weapons to the kurds who are fighting against the jihadists but also want it of hannah's from baghdad for the pentagon analyst michael maloof spoke to me and said the u.s. should help undo the mass increase. it's as though if united states pulls out of this point the world becomes even more dangerous so we're sort of getting sucked back into it and we have no choice because we helped create the problem in the first voice but your state department has come out with its own theory on how these
11:15 am
a jihad is have come about in the first place let's take a listen. bases started really gaining strength in syria when a side a facilitated their rise helped facilitate their movement into iraq and gave them a security environment in which they could operate prime minister maliki has been fighting a very serious battle against him in his own country yes he could have governed more inclusively but that's very different than allowing his harris group to flourish and indeed supporting them. use a new facility. from syria through uk and we do provide them with truck and transportation and have more specifics for you than that so you don't think that the syrian regime was actually fighting i saw them. look i know that they supported their rise and they helped facilitate them into iraq i know that it's true that the united states has aided and abetted. the development of these. islamist groups through turkey through through jordan and in order to oppose.
11:16 am
syrian president assad but the reality the reality is that they basically overcame any opposition and took over took their took their weapons and there's been instances of them forcibly taking those weapons and then using them and and so consequently the united states has confronted its own weapons washington's number one european allies has also weighed in the u.k. is sending at least three fighter jets to iraq here's our london correspondent. there are checks if is to get aid to tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of refugees that are trapped on a mountain in northern iraq now these refugees are from the religious group now this is a people that have been brutally brutally assaulted by isis fighters in recent weeks they have said to have been tearing through that villages and just murdering
