it s not a danger to anybody nearby at this point. but it also allows them to scuffle with police, push forward and so forth. as you can see, demonstrations from both the left wing and the right wing have now died down. many have gone home. riot police here just really here as a precaution. they ve taken off their helmets. it was a very tense few hours there in cologne. in the days ahead, this is the challenge for police and authorities to try and deal with that public anger about those mass assaults that happened here atika shubert, cnn, cologne. let s turn now to paris and a more wal to remember those lost in the charlie hebdo. gym bitter man joins us now from paris. jim, it s been a week of memorial events. take us through what we can expect today. reporter: well, i think in the next hour or so we re going
of a snide comment in a syllabus like this or an administrator which happens on college campuses where they shut down 9/11 memorial events because students didn t book the correct space or there was some sort of technical issue and i think this is also just a form of bias you start to see on campuses these days. aren t campuses spoegsed to be a place where we can share diverse views? we ve come to a place where we need speech codes, we need to remove the word american to make school a hospitable place for people? they should be about places of diverse ideas and learning and we don t get anywhereby administrators by protecting them. do we know anything about
fireworks lighting up the skies above pearl harbor in hawaii to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the world war ii. vj day, the display was provided by the japanese city of nagaoka, that s the hometown of the late admiral who planned the attack on pearl harbor putting the u.s. squarely into world war ii. this is one of just several memorial events around the globe honoring the millions who died during the second world war to preserve freedom. here in d.c., the world war ii memorial is probably my favorite. it is. and you always meet a vet when you re there. an honor to meet them, so amazing to hear the stories and realize this sort of generation that came home, the last war that everyone came home heroes from. and to see what they did with america to talk is fabulous. buckled down, went back to work and never talked about it.
was shot. what do they tell you? i spoke to tyrone harris aunt and father briefly. his aunt not only denies he thought at police, but she says he was there just to attend the memorial events. she said he was a close friend of michael brown. the father was agitated, trying to process everything that happened. he did not want to speak to us and hundreds up the phone. let s go for ferguson. sara sidner is there for us. there have already been many arrests. what are you seeing right now? the arrests are actually happening in clayton where the st. louis county courthouse is. people have been going there. this is purposeful. they said they were going to have civil disobedience today. the day was set aside for that. the weekend was suppose peaceful, prayerful. today was not supposed to be that. they were expecting to be arrested, more than 50 people, including some very prominent people front and center in this
