Shirt pass. It certainly seems that there was an attempt to not be without insurance it was one worshippers from the site but we did get reports of people who were once leaving at least at one site were being allowed back in so potentially they were trying to decrease the number of palestinians ahead well of this decision that got through the allowing jewish activists. And therefore make it easy for them but it does seem that there is a significant number are still under people who have heeded the call from the islamic work to stay there.

S. And china has one of the worlds highest. But many a take up the force against that for military star white not to radical surgery what i want to investigate is the chinese battle to get in shape on al jazeera. And i welcome again to rewind a minute the pie. Raanan since we launched aljazeera english more than a decade ago we have tackled many difficult and sensitive stories across the world today we rewind into august 2014 when the fault line series traveled to ferguson the zuri in the midst of street arm rest following the Police Shooting of a young africanamerican Michael Brown was just 18 an unarmed when he was shot by a white Police Officer after being stopped while walking with a friend and the hours after the shooting the residents of this mostly black area of service and took to the streets to protest against the killing and to demand that the Police Officer should be named the Police Responded by flooding the area with armed officers and riot gear and military style equipment by the time night fell the streets of ferguson looked like a war zone it was the beginning of more than a week of street protests which divided Public Opinion in the United States and within days Sebastian Walker and his fault lines crew were and ferguson to see for themselves the nature of both the uprising and the Police Response from force lines and august 2014 has Ferguson City under siege. This is misery. The spark for what would become daily street protests was the killing of an unarmed africanamerican teenager. In the days that followed and the Police Responded to the demonstrations with massive force. Forces going outside you will kill if necessary. An autopsy would show the brown was shot at least 6 times twice in the head. He was the 4th black man to be killed in the United States by police in the span of a month the street protests and Police Tactics brought ferguson into the national and into. National spotlight things quickly spiraled reports of gunshots fired from the crowd a state of emergency was declared the National Guard was deployed and the u. S. Attorney general launched a federal investigation into the killings fault lines was in ferguson to witness how Michael Browns killing sparked something bigger exposing tensions that had been bubbling beneath the surface for use always the. Way. He is this is the area fergusons residents are calling ground 0 the epicenter of the protests i. Think. That. When we arrived it was the 4th day in a row that people were marching on the street just a few blocks from where Michael Brown was shot. That. The police had still not released the name of the officer involved and people were angry 6 that they. Mistrust of the police here runs deep while more than 60 percent of fergusons residents are black 50 out of its 53. 00 Police Officers a white. Africanamericans account for nearly 90 percent of police stops searches and arrest. The demonstrators made it clear they would remain peaceful and requested the police to do the same. Kind of. Im right. Im right but for no reason that we could see the mood shifted very quickly. So the police are now bringing out these heavy Armored Vehicles you can see its a lengthy truck this is something thats designed for basically conflict zones to fight in places like iraq and afghanistan this is an extraordinary display of force to be honest i mean these guys on to the team theres more riot police arriving behind them this is a crowd of just a few 100 people and its being completely peaceful the news of our guys on top of these vehicles actually training a high powered weapon examination of the crowd and. The police refused to explain why they needed such heavy weaponry. So genuine that bringing this equipment in on the move back home ok you know want to bring in ahmed pickles. It wasnt hard to see why the crown would see the Police Presence as anything other than inflammatory. Would you like. Machine gun pointed so. You dont think that they put their ass on the watch for. A plan right now is peaceful. Have them here has it been like this the last few days is more like this for years. For years this kind of policing yes this is been like this for years. But the anger over the way police were handling the situation grew. Only. The police the same were going to leave the area were going to get right back now from the police line the gas is coming down now. Theres more gas coming over here. Were going to get out of here now. Actually firing canisters of gas at us as were running away. Just a Jack Nicholson return here. Its about as filling the last film like ram those hills and driving down the set it was going to be in a subtle module every time our light youll see i didnt know why do you think they started firing gas why they started firing up because theyre trying to get us decide to riot all the time theyre trying to theyre encroaching on 1st the rights. When the. Wrong. Police are now using an orderly instrument to try to disperse the crowd this is a crowd control can see the protesters are still in the streets and theyre saying elin not going anywhere. Ok seems like theyre throwing flash bombs now theres the explosions going off were not quite sure what the police so far in but keep coming down to were going to get out of here. In a matter of hours on the streets of ferguson had gone from peaceful protest and pools for justice to scenes out of the country to. Move along to a place or bond street towards the crowd here 1st thing just everyone of explosions for blatche both crash bang grenades another one. As the military because the bombs rubber bullets were fired. The feds anyone on the streets including media was in the line of fire. Off the days of launch really staying silent missouris government finally showed up in ferguson promising changes. Today im announcing that the missouri Highway Patrol under the supervision of captain ron johnson who grew up in this area will be directing the team that provides security and ferguson yeah governor how would you explain the nature of the presence that we saw on the streets yesterday i mean that was on personnel carriers about 100 police and military style uniform high powered rifles being trained on the crowd i mean who is in charge of making those decisions and on theyre going to be held to account for mistakes that you clearly think have been made i think that those yesterday and i just i do more small Kevin Johnson i appreciate this and theyre very busy responsibility looking forward to a new face for the Police Commander captain von johnson who was born in the community. The scene on thursday was very different from the previous nights of take gas and military vehicles this seems to be fewer police and those who were there the streets with the protesters. The change in approach seems to lift the mood. But that atmosphere was short lived. The next morning fergusons police chief finally announced the name of Darren Wilson the officer who had killed Michael Brown but almost in the same breath he also released this video footage. It allegedly showed brown stealing cigars from a Convenience Store in an unrelated incident his grieving family was incensed. And here. The motives for releasing the video and its timing were immediately questioned did you know that he was a suspect in a case or did he not know and you say you can stop. Safety is what it seems like the sun as you say you are not going to read you a statement here Michael Browns familys beyond outraged at the devious ways the police chief has chosen to disseminate piecemeal information in a manner intended to assassinate the character of the sun whats the response to we have given you everything that we have now and everything that we can give you so thats from from our Police Department we have you have all everything weve got theres no doubt anybody and thats exactly the finding of the release of this video Michael Browns family held an impromptu press conference outside the Police Station in response to something that people try to determine. What the real problem is condemning what they branded as an attempt to criminalize him and justify the officers actions so whatever that took place there had nothing to do with an individual getting down on his hands and knees raising his hands in the air is saying dont shoot this is the universal call for eyes to brenda and i can hear my cousins voice right now is that speech saying dont shoot. Down at ground 0 later that evening news of the videos release had spread. People angry. But instead of trying to diffuse the tension by minimizing Police Presence the vehicles were out once again. It didnt take long before things started to happen. Soon a small group started smashing store windows ok well this looting starting now you see people are going to ask ok ok i get. This guy here. But then another group of young men quickly moved in to stop the looting y. Y. You stand. Susan. Is a good. One as no. I never lie. So the guys protecting the Convenience Store is saying that they blame the police for a blaming the situation appearing in this manner in the allman vehicles and the why and care again and they say thats the reason why people got angry started Looting Stores going to try to speak to the police and also why they deployed like this off to everything thats happened. So the media. Whos who whos in charge here what you need the Commanding Officer very neat to speak the Commanding Officer a right here thank you. Be the calling officer no but we need you to get to a safe spot place we just we weve been spending time with the crowd and theyre asking why the Police Deployed in this way with the Armored Vehicles and the military gives we stay there on a spending measure that was going to be were trying to maintain state but why did you feel its necessary to bring out the Armored Vehicles i mean were talking with our reason for talking you need to either go ahead where you after you want to be or dont talk is really when i can speak to. And anyone theres no Media Contact they were told not right now thats what. Were doing. The state had promised a different approach. But the militarized response was back and no one could tell us why. Meanwhile down the street the Police Continue to advancing on the protesters know this buyback the looting had stopped but it seemed like anger and distrust were growing once again it started off. The 1st riots yeah. It was a crime just pure emotion. I feel the way these kids is the war that these kids have no outlay and you want to know to choose. To go for it just. During the protests on the streets of ferguson weve met ronald and solomon. Theyd be now demonstrating every night since the shooting. Theyre from northern st louis county an area that includes ferguson and is predominantly africanamerican. Their anger and frustration of the police ran deep as they day just all the harassment on date night she might you know my mom going to her do the police and have got some strikes the next black and male. 2 strikes all we had was mr blanco and we stretched out in the middle of the street thats what people say to you strikes you make a face at a cop strike 3 youre you going to jail facility where its not just a perception of unfair treatment they have no connection to him called julie lived in as Police Officers patrolling the area and enforcing the law all adult has proved his head of the local and double a. C. P. Chapter which follows the federal civil rights complaints against the St Louis County Police for disproportionately targeting blacks a young black kid can live in the urban area and when he leaves his house and any lawful wall coys going to work hes going to school he said to be stopped by police he says to be questioned he said today had to produce identification he said to be ran through the system a c. V. S. And the wants and kate in some cases that have them for no reason at all inaudible even if they avoid the police these young men have stacked against them. The Unemployment Rate for africanamericans in this county is 3 times that of whites st louis is the probably one of the most segregated communities in the country. Both right. Only and socio economically as africanamerican moving and whites move out and what happens also with that is someone i. Saw in the business of Living Conditions go with it. Among black males aged 16 to 24. The Unemployment Rate has reached nearly 50 percent who are coming back to losing hope what we have to bank on after school i went to college. Medical if i wanted to be in the medical field i found out i had a felony guess what happened i spent 20000. 00 for nothing. I get my hands dirty working on course not. Because im a yoof fail i go bag. What im pose to build. Some are you angry hey oh yeah. So when people talk about. The anger that they they feel. Its not just about mournful smooth its that its about its about life in general you some people want to roll over and say we got older generation they just be like hey dont talk to the police like they still want the fan crazy it was i dont know just be quiet just be quiet and i would have been a freedom of speech why is my modify what happened in. The ferguson Police Department declined our repeated requests for an interview this is big it in my ground is this big morton this is about making sure it does i have been a dream i dont pass a follows for many on file with the bone and they think im going to be able to get away with the with the. Maasai you know the easy jobs issue never happens. Off the move in 2 weeks of protests. August 25th the community of ferguson came together for a day of mourning as Michael Browns family laid their son to rest. The family who danced for calm. But since peter symmetry a crowd of family members and friends watched as Michael Browns coffin was buried. As the mourners went home Michael Browns mother said her final goodbyes to her son. I know that thats got to be a proud but my crutch always had always got me a proud but my moment but you know what when you end up on a. Young brothers who aint got nothing on me right back and thats why they competed they are much better so thats of course they want to start us off so i. Think you hear me. Thank you. The day after the funeral in downtown st louis people gathered to announce the foundation of a new movement its called hands up United States government well we dont know whether or execute the demonstrators here say theyre going to march to the office of the u. S. Attorney here in st louis and theyre calling for an investigation a nationwide investigation of systematic police brutality. The u. S. Department of justice later announced it was launching a broad civil rights investigation into the practices of the ferguson Police Department. Said. Print from its investigation of the Michael Brown shooting. The for this group and the community they represent their underlying message is unlikely to change. Their calls for justice are bigger than just ferguson Michael Brown. Theyre about fighting to change a system they say is stacked against them from. What. Ferguson says he on the sage from the fault line series finding has already won a return to ferguson to see what changed and how far the community has managed to move on Award Winning say you know we still make a Chris Phillips lives just a few meters from where mike brown was shot has a unique perspective on the divisions that remain in ferguson today. Ive lived in ferguson in excess of 13 years. You know this is basically this was home for me but in this part of town this is where all of your social Public Services are this is where your Economic Development is emphasizing this is predominately where or for the most part where most of your white residents stay. So as we go under this overpass here thats going to be pretty much were going to approach this intersection of ferguson avenue and west florissant thats where the big standoff between the people and the police were. You know it was pretty much a peaceful protest people were standing on the ground you know sitting on the ground people had their hands up. And it was just you know it was just a standoff in v. N. As the evening progressed and i got to around like 9 10 oclock. Thats when the other activities kicked off. And thats the actual spot where the quake sure was and that got burned down so its on the left here. But a lot of the business is that on this side of town. You know i havent recovered or i havent rebuilt since what happened in 2014. A dome 1st pruitt and presumably st lucie bring to the National Association for the advancement of colored people. You know theres been some improvement the. State legislature did and you know then you have to let then you have to things like what the urban league is doing on the site were in the. Things they dont want to deal with unemployment mail thing given the training and given the background you know those are improvement but then that a day is equivalent to a prison in ocean trying to call them through. The racial make. Them Police Department i mean the. Stance and dramatically change well. Most of the significant achievements we have achieved in this country as it relates to the civil rights advancements the vandeman joining them happen you do legislate to do chords and so. The rules that we get in the day that happened those could not have happened without the protest willing to sacrifice themselves because they had a day the brutality they suffer and we took that of course and got favorable ruling somebody had to had to be on the receiving end in. You know when i look at where his body is right and my apartment was right around the corner here right so this spot in the pavement right here on this patch of payment this is where his body lay after he was shot 6 times this is where they said they had the stands up and for 4 and a half hours his body laid out in d. C. So he laid out here and cooked for that amount of time and so really a lot of the crowd presence to happen was not necessarily because somebody got shot of course people are here because of that but. Being out here one hour 2 hours 3 and 3 hours and the body still appear and for a portion of that time it wasnt even covered up is very horrific its very shocking the images in the video started spreading towards social media and so when the police talk about their response as far as the crowd bills and how that happened theyre responding to a crowd because you left the body here and for 4 and a half hours and what we know being here in missouri and a lot of other places across the country is this will not happen in white communities.

Religious celebrations of festivals known muslims are not allowed into the compound this year these religious nationalists said they wanted to go there because the 1st day of the today coincides with a commemoration for. The jewish religion a commemoration of the destruction of the 1st and 2nd temple which a lot of jews believe is just under the access compound but earlier they were a lot of tensions and flows we heard stun grenades we saw tear gas as you said there were a number of wounded people i think this calm now is not an indication on whether things could flare up again or not we just stand by to see how the rest of the day will unfold and remind us again when things are supposed to be reopened so we can see how it all is going to happen. Its we dont know yet whether it will reopen or not because we have actually been hearing conflicting messages coming out of the police now earlier in the day there was a mass prayer here to eat and the religious and down into authorities the muslim religious and shes had called on all palestinians to come and pray here. Most that happened at 730. 00 local time or 430. 00. Now after that the vast majority of people left but you still have some worshippers who stayed behind what we were hearing earlier in the day is that no one would know non muslim would be allowed into the compound that has been reversed also because Prime Minister netanyahu has come under a lot of criticism from his Coalition Partners did right wing parties so now we dont know whether yes or no at the gates will be open in about half an hour which is do usually schedule time for non muslims to enter the compound or not ok Hoda Abdelhamid thank you very much the hodge pilgrimage for millions of muslims in saudi arabia is coming to a close as the Worlds Largest annual religious gathering are performing the stoning of the devil ritual some will later sacrifice animals to mark the beginning it on saturday more than 2000000 times the sacred hill of mount arafat they prayed and recited the koran corey is a senior fellow and professor at American University of beirut he joins us from the lebanese capital we appreciate your time with the way that religion is is politicized in a way that it shouldnt get peoples faith and religion have been politicized for so long what do you think is weighing on the minds of muslims who are who are in her and saudi arabia right now. The muslims in saudi arabia performing the houses are doing their religious duty showing their devotion to god and the their islamic principles that drive them as good muslims than these are the same principles that drive good christians and jews justice mercy tolerance. Take care of family be good to your neighbors this are all universal abrahamic values and the pilgrimage as a way to reaffirm ones commitment to god and to those to those values theres a really distinct process going on and the hosier from whats going on in jerusalem in jerusalem what youre seeing is the. Muslims who are denied their normal political and civil and National Rights and their human rights by the Israeli Occupation turning to religion as their last source of protection the Political Leadership of the palestinians has failed them and therefore the religious symbols in jerusalem in particular the oxen mosques the dome of the rock and others have taken on great political and nationalistic yours and thats something separate and one certainly even more. Yes and normally they would see them as religious places and religious symbols but in the situation theyre in now the palestinians in jerusalem in particular in the west bank and gaza as a whole are in such a difficult situation and suffering so badly under occupation and siege that the religious affirmation of their collective identity their belonging to that land their future rights human a political and National Rights those become instilled in religious monuments and religious a places this is human nature it goes it happens all over the world we saw this in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and many other places where the religious leaderships take on a political role and remember you know Jesus Mohamed than moses were very political. Individuals they challenge the political oppression of their day they challenge the warfare they challenge the injustices jesus went into the temple and overthrew the money changers and these were the great prophets of the Old Testament the lie jew and moses these were political activists who came to earth if you accept the religious texts who came to earth as gods prophets to bring gods message of justice and equality in a normal life so historically you cant separate religion from politics and the values of the 2 are what we need to to uphold to look at and and therefore whats going on in jerusalem has to be seen as a political struggle and National Struggle whereas whats going on then as a as a religious devotion process all right rami khouri thank you very much for joining us i appreciate it very much.

Riot police in hong kong are trying to drive protesters off the streets in the latest of a series of demonstrations police fired tear gas during clashes at rallies which have not been authorized 40 city is now in its 10th week. Activists have been demonstrating at the International Airport to make arriving tourists aware of their campaign rob mcbride is live for us in Hong Kong Robin is going to let you take it away. Ok well we are in the cow loon district of hong kong we were on a march that began in one of the areas here. Marching across to chunk show i had to be said that this was technically an illegal march that didnt have permission to march and there is just been a big clash at this Police Station let me just give you a little walk around here on the streets are very much back in the control of the police and there are a lot of them there have been squads of police have suddenly turned up after this clash theyre all in riot gear and so on the demonstrators protesters that were around they seem to have gone off down this street here or maybe to some of the subway stations that are around here they seem simply to have melted away what took place there was that theres a Police Station quite close to here with where most of the number of the marches ended up basically this was always going to be a peaceful march thousands of people did march there probably in the 10s of thousands again even for this illegal demonstration tens of thousands marched many of them drifted away at the end but as often happens with these protests there is at the end always a hard core that duns that the face masks then the helmet and then starts building barricades and thats what we had they built barricades encroached further and further down the street toward the Police Station there were lots of warnings for them to back away they were and he did eventually they got so close that some of the protesters began throwing objects at the Police Station who then returned responded with their tear gas and we believe also nonlethal i mean ition as its called possibly rubber bullets were fired well have to confirm that later but certainly a lot of tear gas and then the crowd seems to have dispersed we are hearing about the other disturbances in other parts of hong kong there was a nother a legal march over on Hong Kong Island that again resulted in some clashes with police but it has to be said they do not seem to have been. That serious and then there was the see there was also 11 assembly that was allowed which was in Victoria Park we dont know whether people did attend that one or not so thats the situation we have here at the moment is police seem to be back in control of the streets they are out in force it does seem as though they were not going to take much nonsense if you like they were going to they were going to assert their authority and thats what they seem to have done here were getting into
