cnn reached out to benjamin crump. he said i don't want to say anything.mmented on things before that weren't true. they are hoping this one isn't true. they don't want to comment on it until they figure it out. i also reached out to darren wilson's representatives. no comment thus far as well. >> thank you very much. >>> new detail about what went on in the cockpit of air asia flight 8501. the plane was climbing twice as fast. we're learning that the stall warning reportedly heard was the sound of a screaming stall warning on the black box. did an undraft take down that flight? >>> why everyone is now squeezing footballs. the world is filled with air. but for people with copd sometimes breathing air can be difficult. if you have copd, ask your doctor about once-daily anoro ellipta. it helps people with copd breathe better for a full 24hours. anoro ellipta is the first fda-approved product containing two long-acting bronchodilators in one inhaler. anoro is not for asthma. anoro contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma.

first of all, robin, we saw smoke, then we heard a crump, more smoke, and then -- that's the gunfire talking about, which becomes more rapid in a little while, but then there's a flash in just a moment so more than one explosion inside and quite a lot of smoke. what would that have been all about? there's the flash. >> yeah there were two flashes of that nature and it will be interesting to discover exactly what they were. were they grenades thrown by though hostage takers or were they pyrotechnics used by the security forces? it's just down to speculation exactly what they were but the information we have received from the police is the situation was triggered by these two hostage takers coming out of the building and opening fire. the smoke, the explosions we'll find out what they were later and how they fit into the situation. >> okay. let's imagine this picture, those that are old enough to remember the butch cassidy film where they come running out and know they are going to get cut down in a hail of bullets. if these two brothers ran out of the building and the security forces

day, you're going to be holding a town hall event with attorney benjamin crump, the attorney for themichael brown family, on how to move forward with race relations in this country. what are going to be your suggestions? >> well, it is obviously so important that we begin to discuss things rather than get into corners and shoot hand grenades at each other. that never accomplishes anything. one of the things i think is incredibly important in terms of the relationships between the police in the community is that they get to know each other. i was talking to ed mullens, the president of the sergeant's association in nypd last week and he's working with community leaders like a. r. bernard. they're trying to put together a league throughout the neighborhoods, an athletic league, and they can compete against each other, police and the community, involved in each of the teams. so they get to know each other. and, you know, it's an interesting thing. but when you get to know people, all of a sudden the horns disappear. ha ha! the fangs go away. you say, oh wow. sometimes you don't even thi

yes we caught he from now and we got heat from benjamin crump and i was quoted on paper when it showedichael brown was not a felon although you look at social media and elsewhere that is where the accusations were. we didn't know what would find that we were going to gather the facts. when we release information regarding the autopsy we got a lot of heat. why are you releasing it? because of public information we need to do that. we were accused from both sides as for my weight and ill mother. the idea was let's find facts and let them speak for themselves. that's why we did that. there were probably 10 people up front who were protesting that didn't gather much steam do we got flack from every side. we got flack from the the protesters or make a flack from the police. we got flack from media critics about all kinds of things. i think what was assigned were seen as having a motive and that is not what we are trying to do we were trying to gather information that was authoritative. >> thank you for having us. >> please make it concise. >> i will try to do that. i think one of the things

and yes, we caught heat from that and we got heat from benjamin crump. i was quoted in our paper -- it actually showed that michael brown was not a felon, although you look at social media and elsewhere, that was what the accusations were. so we didn't know what we would find. but we were going to gather the facts, the same when we released information regarding the autopsy. we got a lot of heat. why are you reloosing releasing? because it's public information. we weren't taking sides. we were accused by many sides that somehow we had an ill motive. the idea was let's find facts and let them speak for themselves. so that's why we did that. why was the st. louis american on the story? there were probably ten people out front who were protesting us. it didn't gather much steam. but we got flak from every side. we got flak from the protesters the police people, media critics, about all kinds of angles. we were seen as having a motive. that's not what we were trying to do. we were trying to gather information that was authoritative and accurate. >> next ques

we also heard from benjamin crump, the attorney for michael brown's parents, he had said i'm not goingi see it and hear it myself. but certainly the protesters here are disappointed. they have been out still, they are still protesting not every single night. but they're still out doing actions, so there's quite a bit of disappointment on their part. alisyn? >> thanks, sarah. >>> let's look at the headlines, 34 minutes past the hour. the fate of two japanese men held captive by isis is hanging in the balance if tokyo does not pay the $200 million ransom the extremists are threatening to kill these men in less than 24 hours. japan is furiously working to get in touch with isis. all of this as a team of diplomats including u.s. secretary of state john kerry, meet in london to discuss ways to combat isis. >>> in yemen, the government and rebels appear to have a deal in place to stave off a coup that's been threatening to destabilize that country. the rebels will withdraw from key government buildings. the government will rewrite parts of yemen's constitution. the u.s. has yet to evacuate i
