is critical. is this the new normal for london? >> questionably across europe, there have been low-tech attacks, probably directed, inspired and incited by isis. unfortunately, londoners have to realize this is part of the new situation they're facing with the isis threat and they have to, as they say, stay calm and carry on. >> good to have your perspect e perspective, thank you. let's turn to the violent protests overnight in st. louis, where hundreds took to the streets to protest the acquittal of a white police officer in the shooting death of a black suspect. at least ten officers were hurt, dozens of marchers placed under arrest. pl blake mccoy is in st. louis with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. some of the protesters came out with the expressed purpose of causing problems. agitators clashing with police, throwing rocks and bricks at officers. ten officers injured and 32 people

and mudslides, and schools could be closed for a one. one of the things that's the most stunning, the vegetation, gone. a week ago, this was lush and green. how it looks completely burn out. it looks like a war zone. the island is dependent on tourism. at least 60% of its income rely on visitors coming to the island par paradise. >> i worked at the weston and it was destroyed so i don't have a job. >> reporter: tyra was told it could take a year or more to rebuild the hotel, but in the meantime, she'll likely have to leave the island to find work. she's not the only one. >> a lot of leaving as we speak. there are boats going daily. >> this is our home. >> reporter: some islanders aren't going anywhere. >> we're here for the long haul. we're going to rebuild and make it better. >> that's the spirit of this island. being the smallest of the three virgin islands, we have to be self-sufficient at times. this is an opportunity. i just want to put focus on what we need to do

30 miles and tropical storm force winds extending 150 miles. the storm is expanding. that's why we're concerned about the northeast and sections of the carolinas, as well. now let's zoom down and take a look at these systems. tropical depression 14, most likely will begin to break up and won't be a threat to any land. invest 96-l has a 90% chance of gaining strength and becoming a tropical depression, perhaps stronger. five days out, we are potentially watching landfall over some of the same islands that were affected as irma rolled through. so a major concern. we'll keep an eye on this one. in the meantime, let's take a look at what's happening nationally. we do have above average temperatures through a good portion of the country because of an amplified jet stream. cool certainly in sections of the northwest but much of the country, 5 to 10 degrees above average. that's a quick look at the nati
