brooks?well, you know, i would like -- i tell you, i'd like to work with people like three women, tina faye and pohler and silverman and i would love to do a movie with them. i like -- there is a lot of great talent out there. i would use everybody in hangover and maybe not hangover two but just like that. >> here is kylie, do you have a favorite film or scene from all of your films? >> oh, that is a good question. it's very, very hard, very hard to answer. i'd say my favorite scene is gene wilder having a hystericai hysterical attack and you will jump on me and try to make sense out of this craziness. >> there is a great back story to that, mel, will you tell it, the sugar and the coffee? >> oh, yeah, it was 5:00 at night and i said i want to do the crazy scene, gene and he said i'm out of steam, mel. i've given everything i could today because we had a very brief shooting schedule and these actors were working eight hours, ten hours a day and it was a lot to ask. and he said i'm out of it.

tell me about max brooks. >> this is max brooks. max brooks wrote a couple of books. first book, i thought it was -- i hope he doesn't hear this. i thought he was a little crazy. i really was worried about him. he wrote a book called "the zombie survival guide" and i said, all right. okay. kids are nuts. he likes zombies. the book is called "zombie survival guide." it's all about what to do in case you're attacked by a zombie. you know, how to defend yourself, where to hide, where to go, you got to stick a knife through their brains. it's a little embarrassing. >> i'm laughing -- before you go forward, i'm laughing at you making fun of max's ideas with the stuff that you produced. >> yeah, right. >> you got some nerve. you got some nerve. >> i do. by the way, that book sold like 2 million copies. >> yeah. >> i mean, i go to him now for money. so max then writes another book about a zombie war called "world war z" and brad pitt falls in love with it. >> optioned it, yeah. >> and they make this movie and it's like a big worldwide success. so, he's into, you know, big th

brooke? >> white house calling this a humanitarian catastrophe, nearing a humanitarian catastrophe, considering air strikes on iraq. ivan watson, thank you so much for that, for that report. >>> much more on the story coming up later this hour. >>> we're following this other breaking story, hearing those pro-russian rebels shot down a military plane in eastern ukraine. and we are told they used that same russian-made missile system. this is the same weapon investigators believe brought down malaysian air flight 17. so what message are the rebels sending to kiev, to the rest of the world? a live report, next. i dbefore i dosearch any projects on my home. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. but parallel parking isn't one you do a lof them.ings great. you're either too far from the curb. or too close to other cars... it's just a matter of time

>> yes, good to be with you, brooke.e is that the british government has simply come to the conclusion the joint terrorism analysis center, the organizing entity that made this decision, combined from the u.k. intelligence services, has come to the understanding that because of the number of individuals who have gone to syria and iraq to fight with the islamic state, and because of their existing tasks in terms of monitoring a significant number of individuals they believe are connected to extremism in the u.k., it is difficult to have a degree of confidence that if the individuals come back, they'll be able to control them in the way they would need to. >> which is frightening, you know, in and of itself, to think these people could go going back to the u.k. then you have a far fewer number of americans apparently doing the same thing. here is what else i wanted to ask you. you cover national security, following extremism a number of years. when is the last time you saw david cameron or someone in his position using suc

brooke? >> just looking at some of the pictures, seeing a lot of teary eyes and the children, as you mentioned. just cannot imagine being a young person on a helicopter, trapped with your family. as you pointed out, machine gunfire just to deliver babies. and it looked to me inside the capacity of this helicopter only a handful of people. how many people remain at the top of the sinjar mountain? >> reporter: i could see during -- we were only over the mountain for probably ten minutes, fifteen minutes, topped. circling, dropping off the emergency food and water, and medicine. and then picking up these people. could see hundreds of people down below. and those numbers could be much lower. kurdish officials say there are tens of thousands still trapped on the mountain. and in some places, you could see probably more than 100 cars all parked in a cluster, which gives you a sense of how many people fled their home villages and hometown a week ago to this place, to this refuge on a hill. it was a

brooke?lking to correspondents where you are, one correspondent, talking about isis and the brian washing of teenagers to join this militant group, and just described this torture room for me, they're torturing these young people, the ones who will not initially, you know, convert to the radical view of islam. i know you say we don't know specifically what's happening to these women and so these children. but given the big picture brutality of this group, what do you think? >> reporter: look, when isis started out back in the key city in syria, when we first reported on them, they were lashing, severely beating activists who were opposing their presence there. and very quickly developed into much more brutal forms, amputations for theft, people being flogged for smoking. and then suddenly it catapulted into a whole new level of brutality with crucifixes being involved. then more in the last month i've seen undescribably vicious videos of mass executions, dozens of people killed. one particula

i'm brooke baldwin.nutes we watch and wait to hear from ferguson police chief, thomas jackson. he'll be addressing the public in a news conference. we'll take that live. scheduled to happen any minute now. but just context here. earlier today, the department aimed for transparency, but now they are accused of trying to trash michael brown's name. he is -- you know the story. he is the 18-year-old unarmed teenager who was shot and killed by a ferguson police officer on saturday. that officer now we learn from this morning, he has been i.d.ed as 28-year-old darren wilson, a six-year member of the force. he is married, he is white. while releasing wilson's name

>> reporter: yeah, brooke.lot of people look at this state and perceive it as hamas' military wing raising the threats. this is raising the stakes. this is a statement that a lot of people are going to perceive as a veiled threat. let's tell you what they said. this is a statement by the alca some brigade, a news conference 30 minutes ago. a militant saying that the palestinian negotiating team in cairo should not extend the cease-fire unless the palestinians' initial demands are met, including ending the blockade of gaza. he went on to say, if there is agreement on this, the cease-fire can be extended. if there is no agreement, the negotiating team to withdraw from talks. earlier in the day, we spoke to another senior palestinian official, who made a similar veiled threat, apparently, saying if israel doesn't respond to the demands of the palestinian people, if israel evades its responsibilities, the resistance can resume its activities, the official said. he wasn't clear on whether once 8:00 a.m. rolls around

newsroom with brooke baldwin started now. >>> good afternoon, i am brooke baldwin. thank you for joining me. you're watching cnn. the white house has no plans to raise the threat level here in the united states because of the islamic terror group isis. we can tell you that the united kingdom has officially raised its terror level to severe. that's the second highest level there. you see the different rankings on the screen. translation, they believe with the severe level that attack is highly likely. but let's also be clear there is no information that one will happen soon. what jolted britain into action was the brutal murder of american, james foley, who was beheaded by ien isis fighter with a british accent. you remember the video. the root cause of the terror threat according to david cameron is islamic extremism which cameron calls a quote, unquote poisonous political ideology supported by a minority. >> it believes in using the most brutal forms of terrorism to force people to accept a warped world view and to live in an almost medieval state. a state in which

it was a very chaotic moment, brooke.ened was, some of the tactical unit police officers started chasing somebody in the crowd who had thrown a boggs bottle at them. and suddenly the police officers were mixed up with the protesters. we had a lot of police officers working together. and some of them aren't used to working side by side. and some of them have never done crowd control before. this particular police officer comes from a very small police department, perhaps maybe shouldn't have been out here in this crowd. but he obviously got spooked. and i walked right by him as he was saying those horrible things, threatening to shoot people if they came close. and as you know, he has since been suspended, brooke. he will not be out there again. >> glad you mentioned that. he has been suspended, indeed. steve cast ten bomb, thank you so much for being there. let's stay in ferguson as we roll along, top of the hour, i'm brooke baldwin. the national guard has been ordered out of ferguson, missouri. it seems cooler heads are

brooke? >> let's talk, ivan, about the people we've been seeing in some of these picture, these people you have been spending time with, family hiding out in churches and construction sites and the town from which you're joining me. who are they? how are they dealing with this? >> reporter: well, these are modest people, in some cases farmers or construction workers or university students. they're not living in the big cities of iraq. they're living in small towns and villages, and they saw a disturbing thing happen, which was the kurdish militias picking up and abandoning their communities and knowing the isis militants would move the soon after, they packed their families up, their children, a few bit of clothes or mattresses into whatever vehicles they could find and they ran. and everybody i talked to, none of them had any confidence that they would be able to go home. everybody i talked to here in erbil, they all packed up and fled wednesday night, some of them walking throughout the nig

now, brooke, what is parkinson's?a progressive disorder that affects movement. michael j. fox, of course, has been bravely battling this disease since 1991. it can be managed with medication. what robin williams' outlook looked like, we don't know at this point. but perhaps this just gives us a little bit of insight into his psychological well-being. i think the ultimate question, though, is did this parkinson's diagnosis cause this depression, or did it add to an already existing severe problem he had? >> right. and how long was he suffering with these early stages of parkinson's, we don't know. dan simon, thank you so much. on more of what we're learning from the statement from the widow of robin williams. >>> coming up, we take you back to ferguson, missouri, the president of the united states spoke on this publicly for the first time today saying it is time for police to open up their investigation in ferguson, something protesters have been begging for. but it is unusual for police to stay so quiet five days afte

i'm brooke baldwin. and we begin with ferguson, missouri. tonight when the sun goes down there, there will not be a curfew, but there will be national guard troops geared up to deal with any trouble. and speaking of trouble, there was plenty of it overnight. >> an arrest. >> tear gas, molotov cocktails. skies lit up again, despite the curfew last night. these protesters' message was marred by the bad behavior of just a few. this is according to witnesses there in ferguson. two people were shot. not by police. and tonight it may be even rougher as more and more people are learning just exactly how many times ferguson police officer darren wilson shot unarmed teenager, michael brown nine days ago. >> we now know, from talking about it and professor parcels very preliminary autopsy, is at least six -- at least six shots. could be more. but at least six. >> the attorneys for michael brown's family enlisted renown forensic pathologist, dr. mikel bodden, to perform a second autopsy on this 18-year-old man. he

brooke?you know, you've been covering, nick, this war zone and the back and forth over this territory in eastern ukraine, especially with this crash site smack dab in the middle. would it be accurate to say that the rebels for once are losing this battle? >> clearly if you look at what is happening around donetsk, a symbolic stronghold from them from the beginning, the people's republic -- donetsk people's republic. excuse me. we have driven past towns where the ukrainian armies have taken themselves. yes, they are retreating. the question is, do, as they have in previous towns they call stronghold suddenly vanish overnight unlikely perhaps they are still around the much thinner on the ground and some worry they are going to let the ukrainian army move in. neither side has the troops to hold this million-strong city when it had a million people. many have left. many are worried about the brutality and the potential of civilians to get caught in the fighting that may come. brooke? >> nick pato

>> it's hard to do, brooke.you talk about taking out soldiers on the ground, it's a very difficult challenge. and i think we have been looking for targets. i would suggest that there are over 30 sorties or 30 aircraft up a day in northern iraq. they are, in fact, looking for targets. but it's very difficult to do unless you have observation on those targets very close. it's challenging. we don't have that right now. i think we're try -- >> do you have to be on the ground? >> you don't have to be. you can use drones and we have been doing some of that. you can have other pilots observing it. but it doesn't give you 100% accuracy when you're at 10,000 feet or above. so it's just a challenge. it isn't as easy, as i have said before, as a video game, where you put the cross hair and start knocking down target. this is a challenging force, intermentioned with civilians on the ground. we don't know what a target is, again, from 10,000 feet. you do the best you can if you have some type of military equipment and you kn

"newsroom" with brooke baldwin starts right now. >>> hi there, i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for joining me today. let's begin with this freed american, just absolutely overwhelmed with emotion, fighting back tears at some points when he spoke out publicly, first morning back home. here he is. this is peter theo curtis, reuniting with his family after being held hostage for nearly two years by militants in syria. the journalist offering a heart felt thank you to the hundreds of people who worked for his release. the relief you can see in his eyes and joy in his heart were a stark contrast to these grim images from his time in captivity, a nightmare that lasted some 22 months. curtis was held prisoner by al-nusra front, a syrian group with ties to al qaeda. curtis speaking today, says he'll tell the rest of his story later, once he spends time with his family, once he's bonded properly with his mother and family and recovered from this horrendous ordeal. >> first of all, i want to thank you all for coming out here this beautiful wednesday morning. in the days

i'm brooke baldwin. we are getting word that 15 civilians have been killed in donetsk in eastern ukraine. all of this despite what cameras caught two days ago. you see the hand shake, much ado about this. vladmir putin was shaking hands with ukraine's president, petro po poroshenko. now, russia is attacking ukraine, and a ukrainian commander called it a full-scale invasion. the united nations is holding an emergency meeting about the crisis. we have heard from u.s. ambassador to the u.n., samantha powers, speaking about these pictures. these are nato satellite images that show russian artillery in formation across the border inside ukraine. she talked about how putin just met with ukraine's leader. >>> president putin spoke of the need to, quote, end bloodshed as soon as possible, end quote. the same day, they show russian combat units southeast of donetsk in eastern ukraine. that same day in luhansk, ukraine detained regular russian army personnel from the ninth brigade. >> russia has denied supporting

brooks. mr. brooks, thank you so much for joining me this morning, and congratulations. >> good morning. thank you, it's an honor to be here. >> well, let's just start right there with those impassioned words that you had about the death of eric garner. i know that you met with the new york police commissioner, bill bratton. are you satisfied with the results of that meeting? are you confident that there's going to be a full and swift investigation into mr. garner's death? >> i can't speak to you the progress that has been made thus far, but i believe that commissioner bratton is headed in the right direction. to the degree that everyone is committed to a full accounting, a full and thorough investigation, we're satisfied. but given the tragedy of mr. garner's death, given the expectations of the citizens of new york, the country and indeed the world, we await the outcome of the investigation with a great deal of anticipation. >> let me read you something that you wrote specifically about the

i'm brooke baldwin. and in just a couple minutes we watch and wait to hear from ferguson police chief, thomas jackson. he'll be addressing the public in a news conference. we'll take that live. scheduled to happen any minute now. but just context here. earlier today, the department aimed for transparency, but now they are accused of trying to trash michael brown's name. he is -- you know the story. he is the 18-year-old unarmed teenager who was shot and killed by a ferguson police officer on saturday. that officer now we learn from this morning, he has been i.d.ed as 28-year-old darren wilson, a six-year member of the force. he is married, he is white. while releasing wilson's name this morning, police also revealed michael brown was a suspect in a strong-arm robbery that happened about ten minutes before brown had his fatal encounter with that police officer. now, authorities released this video just within this last hour that allegedly shows michael brown intimidating and pushing a man at this convenie

brooke baldwin is next. >>> hi there. i'm brooke baldwin. this is cnn's special live coverage on the crisis in the streets in ferguson, missouri. the conflict is predominantly between white police and hundreds of mainly black protesters. the scene is relatively calm but overnight it is chaos. police arrests at least 31 people. two people were shot. not by police but what authorities are calling crowd-on-crowd crime. and we're use seeing scenes that we are not used to seeing in the united states. ten days of protests since the death of michael brown. but his mother says the violent night after night detracts in some way getting justice for her s son. she spoke out this morning on the "today" show. >> we have to remain focus. we have to remain strong and the violence needs to stop. when justice is prevailed, then maybe they will regain their trust in the locals but right now it's really out of control. >> off the streets, a lot of developments. a grand jury could hear evidence as early as tomorrow while the department of justice is opening a c

and the question is, is this going to be enough, brooke? look, these small air strikes, this very small, limited, targeted operation is not going to stop isis in the country. they're continuing to gain ground. and the question a lot of people are asking is, are we going to have to go after these guys sooner or later? and a lot of people say the question is not if, but when. >> right. taking the fight to the islamic state. >> absolutely. >> thank you so much in washington. you know, isis has been killing, as i mentioned, its way across iraq for months and months. why now? why air strikes now? will that be enough? a lot of questions. let's bring in bob mcfadden, senior vice president of the strategic consulting firm and general mark kinnet. gentlemen, welcome. and general, let me begin with you here. when we first hear about the initial air strikes with the isis targets and the drops of, you know, food, water, medical supplies, is that enough? it's not. >> well, on the issue of the humanitarian assistance, i think the u.s. air force has a lot

great to be with you, i'm brooke baldwin. a dark end to a man who brought so much light into this world. we do have some new information so i just have to give you a heads up, a warning as we're getting information from marin county investigators, the details of robin williams' death are disturbing. investigators giving a graphic account of what his personal assistant found inside of robin williams' home. take a listen. >> mr. williams' personal assistant became concerned at approximately 11:45 a.m. when he failed to respond to knocks on his bedroom door. at that time, the personal assistant was able to gain access to mr. williams' bedroom and entered the bedroom to find mr. williams clothed, in a seated it position, unresponsive with a belt secured around his neck with the other end of the belt wedged between the closet door and the door frame. >> we also, in listening to that news conference, learned that a small, bloody pocket knife was discovered near his body, his left wrist covered with superficial wounds. let's go to o

>> that's right, brooke.tainly while the headlines have been grabbed in the u.s., this is the center of the story from a human perspective, thousands of people could be infected with the ebola virus in three countries, now possibly four including, of course, here at this point where i'm standing. we went inside that hospital. we talked with doctors and saw the extraordinary precautions they take to cover themselves up. not an inch can be available. possibly to get any liquids on them that could infect them with the virus. scores already of health professionals have died just in sierra leone trying to stamp this out. the word here is that it's out of control. the steps they're trying to take to stop the virus aren't muff to stop the spread and they are desperately seeking help, not doctors, not nurse technical professionals who can be help go into the communities and try and get a sense of where those sick patients are and to close the down. but it could take months. >> david mckenzie live in sierra leone, tha

i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for joining me. we begin with a first in the wake of this story out of ferguson, missouri. we have now heard from president barack obama, speaking publicly about what one protester has described as a war zone. i'm not talking about iraq or gaza, but smack dab there on the map, ferguson, missouri, just outside of st. louis. >> you have seen these pictures play out. this is a town of some 21,000. it has now endurd a fourth consecutive night of violence over saturday's deadly police shooting of unarmed, african-american teenager, michael brown. >> he was 18 years old. his family will never hold michael in their arms again. and when something like this happens, the local authorities, including the police, have a responsibility to be open and transparent about how they are investigating that death. and how they are protecting the people in their communities. there is never an excuse for violence against police. there's also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests. >> that was

but i do want to pause here and think about what brooks had to say.we look beyond the controversy of claiming there is a war on white people and into the deeper questions raised by the substance and context there is a lot to be learned about american politics and strategy. congressman brooks is right that something is happening to america's white population. it is becoming relatively smaller. according to the u.s. senses, by the year 2043, white people will no longer be a majority in the united states. the u.s. will soon have no single racial category that is, by itself, a majority. but that doesn't mean america is soon to be newest minority group is in danger of losing a majority of america's economic and political power any time soon. check this out, for the last 30 years, white families on average earn about $2 for every $1 earned by african-american latino families. when we looked beyond income to total wealth, that gap is even wider. found from 1983 has been about six times of latino families. a gap that was only widened by the great recession. i

. >>> in pretenders, mo brooks ducking cover. alabama congressman says white people are under attack. brooks took issue with a diagnosis of the gop on fox news sunday. >> fastest growing voting bloc in the country thinks the republican party hates them. your party cannot be the party of the future i don't understand november if you're seen as the part difference white people. >> mo brooks says the comments are evidence of president obama leading a race war. >> this is a part of the war on whites that's being launched by the democratic party. the way in which they are launching the war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. it's part of the strategy that barack obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012 where he divides us on race, sex, greed, envy, class warfare, those things. >> the republican party doesn't need to fight a war on whites. the republican party needs to fight to stay alive. mo brooks is living example, the living example of why the gop is doomed to fail advocating inclusion isn't a war on any race. it's

brooks would not stop. he lost control of the bike and struck a tree.either rider was wearing a helmet. >> i am shocked the police were asking him to do something. he was just a child. >> his mother says something has to be done. >> i want justice. friends have set up a go fund his funeral arrangements. arrangements are still pending. >> thank you, roz. closed onll be saturday for the hit netflix show "house of cards." lastilming is going to from noon until 10:00 p.m.. we have a list of the street closures on a website. check it out at wjla.com. former congressman anthony weiner wants to open a restaurant in new york city. it it would be in a queens neighborhood. it would offer locally sourced food. his seat in 2011 after admitting sending explicit photos to women. he ran for mayor of new york, but more sexting allegations sink his bid. -- sank his bid. there are so many bad things i could say about what he will serve at his restaurant. >> we are not going to go there. further south, that is where a few showers will be. overall the forecast is looking m

brook brought up three points here that i think are worth talking about.one is about the mamie image that is still around us today, right? that that concept of the mamie, right, is an incredibly powerful advertising concept, right? and even someone like aunt jemima you could see evolving over the years was until relatively recently looked an k:c lik film. that i think is one important point. the or thing that -- the other two things brooke brings up is she challenges our ability to keep this movie because it's not based on history. it's based on a book of romantic fiction, right? and she challenges the notion that the black characters in this are not smart, right? so let's take each of those things in turn. do you agree with her contention that the movie isn't based on history? and the second part of that is, if it's not based on history, does that matter in our evaluating it? >> amanda, go ahead. >> i thought it was, like, because they tried to make it so historically accurate, they are trying to make an historical film. if they had just taken it as a rom

but to brooks and his family, running this business is anything but.amily drama is just the start. >> there are probably approximately 25 stockholders. and those stockholders have children and spouses and things. so there is quite a few people that have some sort of ownership. >> ownership and different ideas of how things should be run. >> i've got a lot of extended family that have a lot of needs and desires and they want to get return on the investment which is understandable. everyone does. and so being the actual poor family that runs it, i feel that my grandfather left us with that responsibility that not only do we need to provide an amusement park to the people of ocean city, but we need to provide a return. >> a return that is increasingly tough to provide. taxes have gone up. the cost of maintaining the rides has increased, and prices, well, they can't go up too much. >> we can't pass like most businesses can pass their expenses on to the consumer. it's very hard here because a parent can only afford so much, you know, for a child to ride a r

congressman brooks' comments were a little bit insulting.sentially saying minority voters are stupid and being duped by democratic tactics. that's not helping the republican case of why the minority voters should go to the republican party. so, i mean, even the conservative radio host laura ingram told the congressman that his comments were out there. >> she certainly said his comments were out there. i would imagine there were some who, particularly maybe even in his district, and i don't want to make any generalzation here's. we know not everyone disagrees with him. >> not everyone does disagree with him. i think it is sort of maybe a smaller portion of the party than it used to be. there's an acknowledgment within the party that the party needs to change if it wants to remain viable and around. >> so jonathan, back to a message, for example, that rand paul is trying to present here. will he be able to drown out congress -- members of congress who may be certainly as we tick closer to the midterm may pick up the flag that says war on white

arthur brooks, welcome. what were you seeking? >> it is a representative of human conscientious.he transcends a lot of the materialistic pressures. he's the most respected religious figure in the world. whether anybody likes that or not, it's the truth. he's somebody who thinks about the truth. we wanted to talk to him about many of the controversies we're seeing today, about how conscientious, free enterprise, how it all interacts. >> he called you the spiritual leader of the capital. >> one of the guests at one of our events said that. >> how do you reconcile his socialism with your capitalism? >> i asked him yet. it was a wonderful visit. i went to see him in his monastery. and i went and visited with him. i meditated for the morning. in the afternoon, we were talking and he said basically you love free intenterprise. i am a markist. i said, uh-oh. but he continued. but i do not believe in forced sharing of government. i believe in voluntary sharing as a basis of human morality. there's nothing that describes my point of view about this world better than that. >> but here's th
