local government and local power structures. because these two killings of young black men by police in the st. louis area, they may have only been four miles and ten days apart, but one of them, the one that happened today, happened in the city of st. louis. which is geographically very close, but politically very far away from ferguson, missouri. ferguson, missouri, which had a 6% black voter turnout in its last municipal election. in ferguson, today, the scenes on the streets have been peaceful. even in north st. louis where this new police shooting happened today. the scenes have been peaceful as well. even though there have been demonstrators gathered near the site of the shooting most of the day today. peaceful, at times loud, but not at all rowdy or violent. last night, it was in the 10:00 p.m. hour locally in missouri when what had been a very peaceful day all day long of protests in ferguson took a violent turn last night into what ended up being a long and very scary night of tear gas and police show of force and fires

and brian said we want to use it for the local meatloaf. >> and he had all the local farms delivered to him and he got all of it and delivered to us and he cooked it with us and students also helped out and it was a good day. >> not only was our meatloaf grass-fed, it was a really great opportunity for us to show students where our food is coming from. we realize that local food day every month was a big process. >> we want to move of it the student hands into the cafeteria hands because that would be a way tah make it long-lasting. >> so we're aiming toward to get a local few items in our lunches a few times a week. >> we purchased more from local farms and local grocery stores than obviously. that gives them some business and increase their local economy and i think that's a great goal to work towards. >> our generation, wear the ones that will going to have to be the problem solver for tomorrow. and why not start here and reduce our carbon footprint and buy creatively? >> and that was creatively. this is not in the movie because since after the movie was done, they started a store

when the government makes choices, they affect states and localities. we hope today's presentations are a first step towards helping policymakers from all levels of government making -- make informed decisions. thanks. [applause] >> thank you very much for the astute overview of the different roles states and localities can choose to play. theuld like to turn now to deputy chief of staff to the illinois governor. her role is to charge us -- across state agencies to advance the latino and immigration affairs agenda. it is important to note it is an has ate example that long-standing immigration policy agenda. with that, we look forward to hearing about her experiences. thank you. >> thank you. i am really happy to be here. pew generalhank trust. hard to believe it has been two years and a nice point and time to look on far we have come. in illinois we are very much a pro-government right state. the governor prides himself in being the most welcoming state. it is really true. if we have legislative and government action to back that up. is give you a do q

local government is something that they can see every day. if you think about the decisions that local governments make about contracts, about what type of curriculum schools uses that's something that whites tend to be more connected to, i guess i would say. >> so that feeling of neglect that you sometimes hear about, there is less ownership? less feeling that city hall really listens to me? >> yes, that's why so the question you asked before the break was really important about time. time just moves on. that's why it's not necessarily about time. it's actually about developing institutions and actually creating kind of a political movement to reorient people, black people in this case, towards local government to make them understand that it matters. wrong we have to make them understand, in this case they know now that local government matters, but it's creating the institutions to get them to cease power to make government work for them. >> before the break you mentioned growing latino populations. in some places like in southern californ

some states and localities are already playing a role in implementing daca. some states are already issuing drivers licenses to unauthorized immigrants, and they are providing them with information on how to apply, and providing documentation that applicants need. states and localities are already preparing themselves for their roles and response in case of a future legalization or deferred action program. we know policymakers have choices, and when the federal government makes choices, those decisions affect states and localities. we hope that today's presentations are our first step towards helping policymakers from all levels of government make informed decisions. thanks. [applause] >> thank you very much for the astute overview of the different roles that states and localities can choose to play. i would like to turn now to amalia riosa, who joins us from illinois where she is the deputy chief of staff to illinois governor pat quinn. her charge is to engage across state agencies, to set the latino and immigration affairs agenda, and it is important to not

it is localized with some interesting tales, if they can be connected. this on thedd israeli public opinion front. israelid a ton of the tv during the conflict. there was a clear sense the israelis rallied around this conflict. there was a strong sense of national interest, national pride. --re was a specifically specifically pride in the id f. this is a redemption of the idf after the hezbollah conflict. problems on the ground. the ground troops proved able, relatively speaking. there is pride in the defensive technology. the idea that the startup nation is all blending in -- is now blending in with the defense needs of the country. there's a frustration. part of it had to do with the way that israeli leadership frame the conflict. hamas was going to get defeated. it got a hard strike. that was the term that was used over and over again by military leaders. it it is unclear whether that was in fact the case. no question that, on a military level, it was overwhelming force. what the end result was remains a question. driving this debate now in israel is

local time this morning. captain johnson saying, yes, more needs to be done by police to keep order on the streets. we're going to do additional operational planning. we need to step this up somehow, this is not safe enough. he said explicitly this will not involve the national guard. that was 1:15 a.m. at 2:00 a.m., governor jay nixon of missouri announced that he was, in fact, calling out the national guard. governor explaining in a statement today that they would not be imposing the curfew for the third night tonight, but the national guard would be called out. the national guard would be deployed specifically to protect the facility that the police are using as their operational headquarters on the scene. so, in this evolving, frustrating, ever-changing, chaotic, sometimes self-contradictory array of tactics by laurw enforcement you've had just since we were last on the air talking about this, you've had the curfew declared, an announcement they would not use tear gas to enforce the curfew, then they did

as you may know, murder is a local crime usually prosecuted locally and so the justice department can intervene in certain cases, for instance, if a federal worker is killed on the job or if a murder occurs on federal land. here there is a special hook because the law gives the justice department special power to go in if a police officer acting in the line of duty may have violated the civil rights of an individual and that's what eric holder at the justice department is looking at here. gwen: when did the justice department decide in this whole process as this was unfolding that they had to get involved to at least say they were going to get involved? >> they let people know as early as monday a couple of days after the killing of the unarmed blake teenager michael brown they were looking at this. gwen calls from the street in ferguson have grown throughout the week because people have so little confidence in the state and local authorities, arrest at least they did for four or five days. what the attorney general had to do later in the week spell out in explicit terms what exactly

here you had an incident with the local police and it was the local police, the county and eventually state that have been handling it. it only came later that the justice department came in and said, all right, we're going to have this parallel investigation , conductor own autopsy and look at it again, this incident through the lens of civil rights as opposed to just a criminal investigation. host: let's talk about foreign-policy challenges. the president using the news conference yesterday to talk about air strikes in iraq saying with u.s. help with these airstrikes, kurdish and iraqi forces were able to score the biggest victory, recapturing that iraqi dam in mosul. what does the president say and what is the next move in iraq? do we hear from him what that is? host: from the president point of view, the next move is still to ensure that iraq has a stable government, that is able to control its own territory and take on isil without u.s. military assistance. obviously, it is in the u.s. interest to try and limit isil's activities. the control of the dam was a very large concern. t

independent business because it is locally independent. there are booksellers in this room who will be at the forefront of creating there first local shop efforts in their community but this has mushroomed across the country and many are familiar with the promotion of american express in conjunction with small business saturday. with that single day on one day, 5.$7 billion was spent in independent businesses across the united states. i like to joke bookstores got some of its. [laughter] not all of it. but it is no longer just the imagination of the few people. the interconnection between local businesses to build community and work together to do cross market and to come up with ways that they can get a better response response, but we know said data shows if you shop one independent business you are more likely to shop at another. so those partnerships pay off to make an incredible difference and it is why our members are doing better. >> and john you have comments? >> yes. i think to put it to one word would be relevant. how to be relev

a local politician was arrested for unlawful assembly.today a host of national politicians from claire mchaskill and elizabeth warren to rand paul called the police tactics over the top. police say they were protecting themselves after getting attacked with molotov cocktails and bricks from some in the crowd. president obama spoke about the crisis for the first time this afternoon. >> now is the time for healing. now is the time for peace and calm on the streets of ferguson. now is the time for an open and transparent process to see that justice is done. >> meanwhile, missouri governor jay nixon this afternoon announced a major change. he appointed the state's highway patrol to direct the security situation in ferguson. >> what's gone on here over the last few days is not what missouri is about. it's not what ferguson is about. this is a place where people work, go to school, raise families and go to church. a diverse community, a missouri community. lately it looks more like a war zone. that's unacceptable. today i am announcing that the

local governments and local leaders recognize that this is an economic imperative and a moral imperativethis is a civil rights imperative. you have been working hard and we continue to work in a ten-year effort. on the republican and democratic -- underations republican and democrat administrations, this is not a partisan issue. people are punching their ticket to the middle class and we need nue the progress. there are other statistics that are not so good. i have traveled across the country and seen too many school districts that remain, so many years after brown, separate and unequal. i saw the school-to-prison pipeline frequently. axis to opportunity is denied. ss to denied -- acce opportunity is denied. i didn't event in mississippi -- an event in mississippi. i could see, under the table, footwear. what they all had in common was an ankle bracelet. these were kids who were 13-14 and in the system. i asked them what they did. one person had a wrong color tie. one person had the wrong colored socks. one person was guilty of flatulence. i am not kidding. that got them in the school-to

people, to empower local people and i think that was very successful. think that freedom summer tos yours opened door thoughts about how you protect the rights of people and so it also means that a year later the voting rights act is passed, which is really the most thattant act to ensure discrimination against people's ability to vote would be done away with. some ways, mississippi summer, the freedom summer, shone the light on the challenges, but it did people direction on how the changes. it becomes one of the most important movements that one can experience as part of the civil rights movement. >> the perspective of 50 years, where do think it fits in? >> i would say that in many ways, for me what is so powerful about freedom summer is that this shows that young americans can take leadership and affect profound change. he will always be an important moment, partly because of the death of those three civil rights workers. they remind you that changed -- that change does not come without cost heard on the other itd, this tells us is that really sugges

local armies and local people have to basically push these people back. but the air power is a short-term assistance. it stops the danger to the refugees who are fleeing, and it sends a message to isis that people are going to start fighting back against them. >> i want to talk more about america's involvement right now in iraq. but before we do that, because those images that we saw in that report are just mohorrifying an you can see the brutal tactics isis has been using in terrorizing this part of the middle east. i mean, how powerful and well equipped is isis? i mean, how concerned should the international community be? >> they're pretty well equipped, and they're pretty powerful in a very localized way. this is a group that -- and there's other groups like this in the region. these guys have very little if any local anchorage. they can only control pieces of land that have been made available because of the chaos and the ungovernability of the local situation, the incompetence or the violence of the iraqi government or the syrian government and the f

he described the support role that they'll provide to local law enforcement. and i'll watch over the next several days to assess whether, in fact, it's helping rather than hindering progress in ferguson. >> steve, reuters. >> reporter: how do you avoid mission creep in iraq, and how long do you think it will take to contain i.s.i.l.? >> i have been firm from the start that we are not reintroducing thousands of u.s. troops back on the ground to engage in combat. we are not the iraqi military, we are not the iraqi air force. i am the commander in chief of the united states armed forces. and iraq is going to have to ultimately provide for its own security. on the other hand we have a national security interest in making sure our people are protected and in making sure that a savage group that seems willing to slaughter people for no rhyme or reason, other than they have not cow toed to them, that a group like that is contained because they ultimately pose a threat to us. our goal is, number one, to make sure we have a viable partner, and that is why we have so co

this is what local sources on the ground have been telling us. islamic state group gave them an ultimatum. five days ago, they told them to convert or die. at a time community did come under attack in the sinjar mountains a week ago. this is not the only minority has been targeted. the christians were given the same ultimatum a few weeks ago. thousands were forced out of their homes. and so, as a humanitarian crisis is growing on the ground, up to 1.2 million iraqis, displaced iraqis live in the kurpdish region. officials are struggling to cope. they are appealing to the international organizations to help those people. so, a growing humanitarian crisis as the war continues. >> all right, zeina chodr, thank you. >>> the security national council has held a news conference for which they called for the united states to launch airstrikes against islamic state rebels in syria as well as iraq. we will hear from them in a moment. but first, this is zeina hodr's report. >> more territory captured by the islamic straight group, but this is not iraq. the

locally we're seeing a few more clouds moving in. here is a live look at 30th street station, or i should say the art museum by the schuylkill river. we're still feeling fairly comfortable at this hour. humidity is pretty comfortable. but warm temperatures today. and there is a little bit of rain back off to the west around harrisburg. shouldn't really be make it in tonight where. you should stay on the dry side and tlooifn most of the day tomorrow. we're watch mortgage rain moving through the midwest but heading in our direction, especially for the little league world series tomorrow there are showers in the forecast because of the rain i just show you'd. the forecast for the little league world series for tomorrow evening's game by 7:00 p.m., 73 degrees. chance of some showers. by 10:00 p.m. tomorrow evening, upper 60s, still a chance of showers. here is what it looks like on future weather. the rain starts to approach the area as we go into tomorrow evening. mostly around williamsport, staying just west of us. so we could be seein

the fee structure here is important for the local ordinance. each, each business is charged $75 and plus $14 for every point of sale system they have and this cannot exceed $773 per each locationedthv and what what really interesting about doing research on the fee structure is that local counties, surrounding counties have different price structures, and san francisco actually fell a little bit lower than some of these, but we also looked at state levels, too, and chicago was very insightful, gave a different perspective. and then we go into that. chicago, it doesn't allow the registration or it doesn't require registration for retail businesses that individually mark each item with the price in their store. and that's not something currently that san francisco has and might be something good to look into for the smaller businesses that have less item and then they just mark, mark their goods. it's less likely to [speaker not understood] consumers going into the store, everything is priced. so, just something to keep in mind. and retailers nee

the discussion today is not only timely, but highlights the important role that state and local actors play and are often overlooked in programs. i would like to thank our panelists for joining us this afternoon. i think all of you for joining us as well. with that i will turn the program over to the project's director adam hunter. thank you.
