and the death of cecil the lion leading to a debate of when it's hunting and when it's poaching august 9th, 2014, a year ago today, 18-year-old michael brown, that unarmed black teen shot and killed by a white police officer in missouri. the shooting and protest that followed changing the conversation about race in america forever. today michael brown was remembered with this march, where he was shot. it was followed by 4.5 minutes of silence. as part of the event there was a rap concert and a discussion about racial justice. we begin the coverage with diane eastabrook in sofia vergara. >> how the hell do you think we feel? you kill us in the speech. >> reporter: fiery speeches. >> talk of change is rising up. >> reporter: followed by silent reflection. this is how ferguson, missouri remembered michael brown, hundreds filling the street where the unarmed black teen was killed a year ago by a white police officer. >> we have died, marched in, and nothing happened. it is time for us to not seek justice, but demand justice. >> reporter: lindsay and matt hill travelled from seattle to teach their sons a lesson in race relations. >> we have been talking a lot with julian about police brutality and black lives matter, we wanted to be here. for the second day in a row, michael brown's father led demonstrators from the site where his son was killed through the streets of ferguson. in the days leading up to the anniversary, there has been talk about the healing that has gone on. if you talk to people today, you get a sense that things have not changed much in the last year - both in ferguson and across the country. >> the whole situation is kind of scary. >> have you had encounters you felt were dangerous, with the police? >> i felt things were not really necessary. i've been stopped several times. mainly just because i was black. >> this year has been hard - no accountability, no justice. police are still killing us. >> erica garner, whose father was killed last year by police in new york, says race must be an issue in next year's presidential election. >> no one is talking about the issues. candidates, they are not taken serious, and, you know, it year later we believe that black lives do not matter, you know to elected officials. >> as the crowds dispersed one activist reflected on brown's legacy and was confident that the movement sparked by his death will continue >> i think this is a generational shift. i think if i were to step away now rks i don't think they'll stop. on the issue of not enough done, earlier i talked to dante barry, the executive director of the million hoodies movement for justice, and said a year after the death the problems persist. we think about the one year anniversary for michael brown, one year anniversary of the ferguson uprising. what got michael brown killed still exists regardless of new people in office, and new people in the police department. there's people with isolation. folks feel like they are trapped. i don't think things have changed. we know that ferguson was not an isolated incident. there is staten island,ar eric garner in cleveland, 12-year-old tamir rice, in baltimore, freddie gray and others. is it that the system does not get it. or is the problem too complex? >> i think it's a little bit of both. i think that the protests have been reactive, not proactive or transformative. when we see what happened in terms of the conversation, it's about nicer police, not talking about lesser police. the conversations are around body cameras. that's fine, but let's not think about how we can hold the police accountable. regardless whether or not there's a body camera. if we look at eric garner's case, we see body cameras don't solve the problem. what we have seen is a broken system, and be really need to think about how we are creating a new ideas on the stays. >> in order to fix the system, you have to have the system as it is, not as you want it the to be. what is the system as it is, versus what you might want is to be. >> i would rather have it what i want is to be, i don't want to take for things. this is why i'm an organizers, right, and why my members across the country in a million hoodies are thinking about how we are transforming the system. we don't want to accept how it is, and we ching how to transform the system that works with us, not against us. are. >> talking about the anger we were told what we might expect going forward. >> remember a year ago the national conversation on policing didn't exist. now there was a space where people understand the narrative, are not predicated on police. here what is carried out in the findings, we'll see what happens. in the future i think the protest community will start to think about solutions more intently, how to end police violence. >> will things be peaceful in the upcoming days at least? >> the only violent people have been the police. they've killed eight people here in st. louis and paralyzed one. protests are peaceful, the violent people are the police. i want to push back and ask a question that police ask you. we spend a lot of time looking at them. they would ask, should the move look inward. they'd argue a lot of people are behind blahs are for black on black violence. they handle societies, where should the line be drawn? the department of justice says they were criminalizing justice. just because they were black, they were victims of the police department. there were many criminal records, by the police, who weren't criminals. that was proven by the d.o.j. i'm struggling with the narrative. black on black crime is a red herring argument, most crime has been within sort of race groups. that is it nothing sort of special here, this is a police department proven to have criminalized blackness in, many ways new police chief, manager and judge, will it be enough for ferguson. >> you can't swap out people at the top to change a culture. we noted is to be true. the racist police practices were deeply rooted, and i look forward to seeing it play out, so we can see the actual structural change, not cosmetic changes, which is the only thing we have seen so far. >> will there be a honeymoon period for all the newly appointed officials? >> the reality is that the policing has not ended. there's no honeymoon period when people haven't experienced justice, and people are still terrorized by police. hopefully the police in power understand the urgency, and work with the d.o.j. to implement the findings of the report and work with the decree as best as possible. >> before i let you go, one thing that emerged last year in ferguson was captain johnson from the missouri police, was he a calming factor and is he still a calming factor or is he viewed as the apparatus, the machine. >> the reality is captain johnson was in charge when many were tear gassed, pepper sprayed and smoke bombs deployed. we'll never forget the moments. i think captain johnson attempted to be a stable force, in some moments he was probably better than the alternative. again at that time there was a police department that was actively hurting us, going out of his way to terrorize us. >> with that as a backdrop, how do you explain the anger at a white police department when the man in charge during those times was an african american. >> remember, this is about a structure of policing bigger than any person. the chief was in charge of the county police, and chief jackson with the ferguson police department. ron johnson is one of the people making decisions. he was not the only person. what you said was not true. the idea that captain johnson was the sole person in charge. there were many others leading in the space, it's a culture of policing that is deeper than a person. that was activist deray there was a conversation about fresh freedom. wesley was a journalist working on an article in mcdonald's, when he said police moved in. he told us about his interaction with the ferguson police. >> it was august 15th, two days after police used tear gas and rubber bullets, on this day it was a peaceful protest during the daytime. the police made the tactical decision to attempt to clear the buildings prior to nightfall. they illegally took us into detention because we weren't clearing the building fast enough to their liking. it was a story that went viral because it was the first time that reporters exercising the first amendment rights were in custody in ferguson. ustly, that was something we saw repeated night after night for two weeks following that. >> he didn't let his experience stop him doing his job. he's back in ferguson tonight, recovering. . >> there has been a tragic shooting in texas, it happened last night, police have a suspect but are trying to figure out what happened and why. >> reporter: police say the investigation is fluid, many questions are unanswered. the suspect broke into his former home, restrained the adults and children and killed them. >> reporter: 48-year-old david conley is charged with fatally shooting a family of eight, six children, the youngest six years cold. >> we do not and cannot comprehend the motivation of an individual taking the lives of so many innocent people. especially the lives of the young ones. >> the motive, say police, may have been a domestic dispute between the suspect and a woman valerie, his former partner. saturday night a phone call was received asking them to make a welfare check. >> a male was in the home with an aggravated assault on the family member. >> that's when the police saw a body of a child through the window. >> deputies forced their way into the home and were met with gunfire. >> after calling for back up, the suspect surrendered. upon entering the home, victim discovered the victims, jackson, her husband and six children. >> the victims were found in each of the three bedrooms. david conley is charged with three counts of capital murder. >> the felony of burglary, along with murdering valerie. another count is killing multiple people in the same incident. and then the other is for killing a child. >> police believe the oldest child in the home, a 13-year-old, was the suspect's own child. the da's office says there's so many victims in this case. the three counts cover different manners and means of capital murder, including multiple people. a judge denied bond for the suspect. . >> thank you. >> tomorrow on al jazeera america, our special coverage that we call summer of the gun. throughout the day we'll bring you stories of gun violence that continues to plague america. also guns are used in violent crimes smuggled along the secret highway. al jazeera looks at the jirn pipeline after the break and a child sex ring broken up in india. it could be the largest ever and marking 70 years since the atomic bomb was dropped on nagasaki, japan. japan. [ bell tolls ] 70 years ago today japan marking 70 years since the u.s. dropped a bomb on nagasaki. today's ceremony at peace park, remembering the 40,000 people who died significantly back in 1945. both bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki near the end of world war ii, the results so devastating the weapon has not been used since. a troop of u.s. soldiers arriving in turkey for anti-i.s.i.l. operations. flying in with half a dozen f-16 fighter jets, based less than 100 miles from the syrian boarder. it will ensure that i.s.i.l. doesn't cross into europe. the location allowing the carrying out of bombing raids. now to pakistan, where a child sex abuse scandal is costing calls for investigation. several hundred children were used in sex videos some as young as six years old. there are now questions over whether police failed to prosecute everyone available. >> reporter: pakistani police are saying some 280 children from sexually abused and assaulted. there are reports that some 400 videos from made, and thousands ended up on the market sold for as little as $0.40 each. the parents are saying that the videos could have ended abroad in the u.s., u.k. and europe. reports are coming out from the parents and the victims, saying that children had been truant and families forced to pay money, jewellery to the gangs. essentially they were blackmailed by the gangs. the families of the victims are calling for a full judicial inquiry, and don't trust the police to investigate this, and calling for military courts to hear cases of the accused. this created a great controversy in pakistan, a deal of outrage and disgust among the public, in a country where the protection of human rights is poor, and many have little faith in the judicial system. which they say is ripe donald trump hitting back at critics that say we went too far with comments been megyn kelly, trump saying "you could see there was blood coming out of her ice, out of her wherever", he said he was referring to her knows and dismissed notion that he suggested she was tough on him because she was having her period. >> only a deviate would say what i said was what they were referring to. no one can say that. you have to be sick to put that together the comments cost trump an invitation to a conservative gathering in georgia, fellow republicans urging him to apologise. chris wallace talked about it with carly fiorina on fox news. >> you ask tough questions, you talked to donald trump about his regard of bankruptcy, i didn't notice donald trump insulting you for 24 hours. there's no excuse for this. i don't think you get things done by insulting everyone trump saying that he cherishes women and would be their best advocate if he is elected president on the democratic side, bernie sanders responding to protesters that interrupted this speech in seattle. >> if you do not listen to us, you'll be shot down right now they were protesters from black lives matters. bernie sanders allowed them to speak and ended up leaving, he posted a statement saying: bernie sanders talked about the issues during a rally in seattle last night gun violence plagues the nation, the policy fight seems to be more like the civil war, north, rather than south. there are fewer restrictions, but the guns don't say that. robert ray explains. >> hello, how are you. >> reporter: this is little's bait and tackle shop in a small town in georgia, one of 4,000 licensed gun dealers in the state. this is the owner. little is the source of the gun used to kill new york city police officer brian moore in may, stolen from the pawn shop in 2011. this video caught the masked thieves in action, taking 23 weapons, nine in new york city. and the police never caught the guys that robbed the store. >> no, they had hoodies, ski masks and gloves. they never caught anything or anything. >> reporter: the guns make their way up what is known as the iron pipeline, an illegal trade route running up 95 to states of new york. >> there's a lot of gun violence in the country. >> in spite of attempts by law-maker and police to shut it down, the pipeline remains open. georgia is ground zero. >> two new york city officers ambushed in december were killed by a georgia gun. >> what do you say to politicians up north, saying the southern laws are too lax, and that is why the police officers are armed and shot, and bad guys trade guns? >> if tell you something, they got the same laws here has they do in new york. purchase of a gun. >> well they are definitely more lax down here. >> why are they lax here? >> the gun laws here are lax. when you purchase a gun, you can carry it anywhere if you have the proper permits, you can't do it in new york or chicago or anything like that. >> here, we believe in protecting yourself. >> reporter: purchasing a firearm in the state of georgia is simple. all you need is a driver's licence, going through a background check taking 20-30 minutes, and obtain a gunonline with no check at all. georgia leads the country as a source of firearms in other states. in 2013, 3,000 guns were confiscated outside the city by police, with florida running behind. according to data from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms, we reached out, but they did not respond to the request for an interview. i was shocked initially when i heard happened. upset, police captain. law enforcement means fundi gun running. putting drug addiction that looks for drugs, and that basically stop cars and try to deter trafficking and people. and transferring large amounts of money. those same units are looking for weapons, not focussed on drugs. is there enough of them? >> well, my opinion there's not enough police officers. the author are the safe carry protection law, passed in april of 2014. it allows georgia residents without a record to purchase a firearm, carry a weapon in all public faces. critics called it the guns everywhere law. people compare the guns trade up north. would you say it's on that level? >> i don't know anything about it. i have the fortune to say i've never been to new york city. i haven't really vected to look at what goes on in the nearby corridor. the bills i sponsored have been around georgia, and how we can strengthen the law, making it fair for individuals and make it effective that the law it has makes it easier to understand and effective. maybe it's state legislature in new york to work on theirs too. the iron pipeline and the gun running is media hype. >> i think it's another little tid bit that is thrown out there by media consultants, trying to making is out of this when there are weapons that are unfortunately used recent lip, were bought years ago, legally, and lost track of. as you do. we know who bought it initially. and the subsequent owners, you don't know. according to a report, 2800 firearms were covered, have been traced back to georgia from 2005 to 2014. clarence little says he wants to sell the pawn shop and set up better cameras in his store. >> there's nothing that we can do about it. if the cops were to spend more time in the areas, then you wouldn't have anywhere near the break-ins. >> georgia law does not require stolen guns, making it easy to buy guns, sell them to criminals, making the iron pipeline more difficult to clog and shut down and another reminder tomorrow on al jazeera america, our special coverage, we are calling summer of the gun continues when the hunters become the hunted. the killing of cecil the lion by an american dentist sparking outrage. now the world may be ready to take action. a push for conservation in the week ahead. a tiny town in florida is popular, there's a waiting list. al jazeera goes inside one of america's unique communities. welcome back, here is a look at the top stories - a man suspected of killing eight people inside a home in houston has been charged with murder. prosecutors saying he broke into the house, tied up the victims and shot them. six are dead. children. he had once been in a relationship with one of the victims. >> it was one year ago today 18-year-old michael brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in ferguson, missouri. michael brown was an african american, sparking protests in a movement black lives matter frank gifford died of natural causes at his home. he was 84 years old. the hall of famer playing in five championship games in the 1950s and '60s, and was an original announcer on "monday night football", and is survived by kathy lee gifford of the today show, and their two children it's sunday night, time for a look at "the week ahead". tomorrow is world lyon day and wednesday world elephant day, both in the news following the death of cecil the lion in zimbabwe. and there's a step up on buying and selling illegal ivory. first, courtney kealy puts us face to face with why the discussion about wildlife conservation is badly needed the african savannah home to breath-taking creatures, both beautiful and deadly. while there are preserves and sanctuaries to stave off the loss of land and nature. there's big game hunting. it draws hundreds of millions in revenue and thousands of americans every year. after walter palmer, a 55-year-old american dentist mistakenly killed zimbabwe's prize lion named cecil, social media exploded, forcing the issue into the spotlight. palmer allegedly paid 50,000 for the controversial kill. delta airlines announced it would no longer transport animal trophies like lions, elephants and rhinos. other airlines announced it bans. there was disappointment released saying:. >> and that hunting is a major source of south africa's socioeconomic activity, contributing to job creation, community development and social uplift. president roosevelt set out to hunt big game, killing more than 512 animals, 17 lions and 11 elephants. his year-long hunt collected 110 scientific specimens, and he published dozens of books on natural history and is considered to be a visionary conservationist. these days animal rights activists argue controlled hunting leads to illegal activity. in cluing poaching. the u.s. used to be the center of illegal ivory trade, and the crush event aims to bring attention to the plight of elephants killed for their tusks. >> 1980 there's approximately 1.2 million elephants. now there's less than 500,000. every day 96 elephants are killed, one every 15 minutes, 35,000 a year. and at this rate elephants will be extinct. >> everyone has to be active. >> film-maker will release the documentary in the fall called racing extinction. [ singing ] the goal of his event, a video projection covering 33 floors of the empire state building, was to draw attention to the many species facing mass extension. >> there's millions of animals gone through the same gauntlet of history to be here, and one species is causing them to go extinct. i want them to look in the eyes of beautiful animals and see the exquisite beauty of them, and fall in love with them. trophy hunting is not the largest threat. a lot of animals face loss of habitat because of people, us, encroaching on their living pace. space. not all hunting is bad. it sounds strange, but experts say when it's done right it can preserve wild life, especially when host countries set up systems, revenue can be used to support and protect animals. the british government announced a multi-million dollar fund to help endangered species, hoping to discourage poaching and hunting a wildlife biologist joins us. live from boston. thank you for being with us. what does it say that if not for cecil the lion, we may not pay attention to the issue, giving it the attention it deserves. >> it does deserve a lot of attention. we are right now at war. we are battling to save our species, many falling pray to the butcher, in the form of the poacher, and the level of peaching is unprecedented. poaching is why one out of every 12 african elements has -- elephants has disappeared, been illegally harvested in the last few years, it's because of poaching that a race of black rhino is extinct and a subspecies of white rhino has a few individuals left. it's a $30 billion industry, and we are at the battle lines, and we are losing the war. >> what does it say that the dentist in this case thought he was hunting legally? what it says is that you may have a hunting licence and purchased the appropriate tags within the region that you are hunting, but if you break the regional laws for whatever reason, you are considered a poacher. >> i want to say something that i know you have heard before, people hunting people is a problem. when cecil the lion was killed there was outrage, i want to take you back. hundreds of thousands in syria died, millions displaced. what does it say about society where it seems we seem to value animals more than humans, you hear that, what is your push back on that? >> well, i think when cecil was basically dispatched in an unethical way, an unforgiving way, i think it was a wake up call. sobering us up to what many are facing today. cecil was drawn out from an ultimate protected area, a sacred part of the world called a national park. all the factors came into play to create a storm of sobriety. i think it's important that we need to take the energy and be rational and focus the energy in a real-world situation to changes affecting wildlife and the challenges to our own species places a role in all life on the planet. when we see human being in all sorts of situations it's a reflection of an ecosystem out of pound. according to the programme on african protected areas and conservations, south africa making the most from big game hunting safaris, bringing in about $100 million per year, followed by namibia with 29 million, tanzania 28 million, botswana 20 million. the agency says the numbers can be misleading and they represent a small drop in the money that the country generates. i guess we have to ask the question this way, are the countries concerned about losing money or wildlife? >> it's really a tough question to answer. the argument on the side of the game hunting in africa is that there's an economic value attached to the aesthetic value of wildlife. if it's not protected. it will not come in to protect other species with the right to hunt that creature. within the environments that we live. that's the argument. as you mentioned we probably see about $200 million flowing to africa. half of that is spent in south africa. there's only 11 out of 54 countries in africa, nine sub-saharan that allow hunting and there's an argument out there that moneys go directly towards conservation. when you start getting into the metrics, it's when things are no longer black and white and look a little grey. we know that about 3% of revenue benefits local communities. if you look at the american model you can see where hunting is considered a partnership in conservation. in dear hunting we have 10 million harvesting 6 million deer. overall the hunting revenue generates 760 million a year, accounting for half the budget of most of the states from managing natural resources. >> stand by. we are joined by david hays, joining us from charlottesville, the former deputy secretary of the interior department thank you for being with us. joining the discussion. what are the arguments made. it's that we are seeing nothing more than survival of the fittest. nature thinning the herd, this time hunters being the top of the food change, talk about that. >> the argument is similar to what jeff talked about, when you have vibrant populations of animals, that there is a natural selection process that occurs. there's a rhythm and a need for hunting and culling. the issue is more challenging when you have species that are under tremendous stress, like the elephants, rhinos, tigers in africa and asia, that's when it is more complex. >> speak to the people that don't get the issue of big game hunting. if you take the united states, as an example, there's a grocery store on every corner, and we buy the food wrapt, and it's already prepared. we don't have to do this. why do big game hunters have to do what they do? well, there's a hunting tradition in the united states that goes way back, and with teddy roosevelt and a number of conservationists being at the forefront of that. >> can i mention the argument when teddy roosevelt was president, they hunted indians. >> look, i'm personally not a hunter, and not one to be out advocating for hunting, but there is a place for hunting. there's a place where hunting should not occur. what concerns me is when we have elephant, rhino populations and logan brown populations under stress, there needs to be a scientific showing that hunting can enhance the species, it can be done. the department of the interior, my former department found last year, for example, that elephant hunting in zimbabwe, the same country involved with cecil the lion, in tanzania was not being done responsibly, and as a result the united states said no hunter could bring tanzania trophies from elephant ivory. . >> i have about 20 seconds left. the airlines saying they will not carry big game in the cargo holds. did you push for them to do that after the death of cecil the line, and what did they say. >> i did not personally push for them to stop the transportation of trophies, it's a difficult issue, because it's not illegal to transport trophies, there's plenty of legal wildlife parts that are transported, i applaud that are transported, i applaud airports saying we are going to make sure in our holds we are not transporting illegal ivory for tiger bone or wildlife parts of many kinds which is the underlying story, that is fuelling the problem with species, more than hunters per se david hayes, former deputy secretary at the interior department. mr hayes, thank you. wildlife biologist jeff harvey norman in boston, thank you for being with us. >> raging flames, showing no signs of letting down. the race against the clock in the west, as wildfires claiming another life. and a chemical spill in a colorado river leading to a nearby emergency for towns. . >> she was in shock, her arm bit off here, her arm was gone from here. >> authorities in florida saying an alligator attacked a woman as she was swimming in the river. kayakers rescued the woman. wildlife authorities captured the gaiter, they couldn't reattach her arm, too much time has passed wildfires in california claiming near life. a firefighter killed by a falling tree, near lake tahoe. he was 21 years old. kevin corriveau has been tracking the weather. >> it's been dry. the threat is going to go up. before we get to the forecast. i want to show a satellite image, from this morning into the evening. it's the day time hours, this area here, this is smoke from the wildfires blowing to the north-east. you notice during the end of the day we started to get some clouds here. those are tomorrows building up in the heating of the day. we have to watch out as we go towards monday and tuesday. i want to go closer to the region. we go closer to the region, we see higher elevation. during the day time, 15-18% humidity. we are seeing it rise in the evening, and the wind coming down, as we go towards tomorrow, the temperatures are expected to be in the low 80s. no rain in the forecast. we are expecting thunder storms, not any rain out of the thunder storms, we'll see lightening. and that will be the big problem there. across the south temperatures are coming down. tomorrow, watch out because the temperatures are coming up. dallas texas, a high of 105 degrees, factoring in the heat. it's expected to be more like 115, all the way down to louisiana, very dangerous situation. >> dangerous and hot. thank you very much. >> experts warn frightening levels of heavy metal, such as lead and arsenic - they have declared state of emergency, 3 million gallons of waste water, spilling into the river, turning it orange. the inspectors triggered the still. >> a popular dance floor among retirees, it was built for postal workers, and now there's a waiting list to get in and retire there. >> andy gallagher reports. >> florida is referred to as god's fitting room. retirement committees are abundant. this one is different. this town was created, designed and paid for by the postal workers union and everyone here spent years delivering the mail, amongst the letter carriers, a digs to move to nalcrest was not obvious. >> i blew it off as an old place where carriers go to sit and talk about the good old days and doesn't do anything. when i came in 2003 and came in january, it was the opposite. i fell in love with it. >> reporter: the concept came about 50 years oak, offer postal workers a cheep place to live, with neighbours that walked the same career path, something that property manager said created a special place to live. >> they have something in common with everyone, something they can talk about, and just a sense of belonging and, you know, i think it's something that they cherish very much. >> nine of spades. >> nal crest is not only deeply popular amongst retired postal workers, it's unique, it's the only community of its kind in the u.s. and the future is assured. >> the best thing to do is live here. it's a great place. >> as everyone knows, it's a great place here. >> yes. >> this has everything you could need, a gulf course, a swimming pool, a library, the list goes on. there's one thing you won't find here, and that's the eternal enemy of postal enemies everywhere, the dog. kain ins are banned. there's other hazards here, for the most part crest is a restful place, those that spent years on their feet delivering letters. >> when we come back, sworn enemies working together. a local sheriff enlisting drug dealers to help him fight the war on drugs. and soccer hooligans on a rampage. looks like england, but it's here in the states. . >> apparently a little bit of levity goes a long way in law enforcement, the sheriff in franklin country finding that out. posting a flyer asking drug dealers to help in the war on drugs by turning in their competition. and it seems to be working. franklin county sheriff joining us now. mr melton, thank you for being [with us. let me see if i had it right you asked the drug dealers to turn in the competition, and they did. >> absolutely. we had - since this started at the beginning of the weak, we had over 275,000 views, but more than that over 30 credible tips coming in, from one little flyer. >> were you surprised? >> i really was. we meant it as a light-hearted approach but it goes deeper. the first investigation we have a convicted felon with four hand guns, an ounce of cocaine, part of the crack and powder, and four pounds of marijuana, off this one drug dealer in a neighbourhood in our community, at the end of the day i said if we were successful, we'd get one off the streets. we have 39 waiting for us. >> i should point out this was not an original idea - did you steal it much? >> we absolutely - stealing is harsh. we improvised it from mcintyre jessop. they had success, it has really engaged our community and country about drug traffickers. >> i improvised my s.a.t. scores, i want to point out that this adds meaning to the phrase honour among thieves. >> it does. and we know that we have made an impact already, because we have had death threats called in over the tip line, we have had people call and see if it's for real, and you see them in the background - i told you that was for real, and the detective says you need to leave your information. no, we are good, click. >> and on the light-hearted approach, it's been successful and there's no honour among thieves, i assure you. >> we are talking about a serious problem with heroin and drug overdoses in your county. >> not only ours, across the commonwealth and i think across the country. if you have a loved one hooked on heroin or crystal meth or cocaine, solve those families see what the drug deal is doing to the family. they'll help us get rid of them. the partnership with the communities, especially in franklin county, being kentucky, we have a great partnership with the community, in is just another tool. >> are you concerned that publicity may not be a good thing. the word is getting out about what you did, and the people that you are trying to bust? >> people will tell you no matter what. they always do, and for those - this first case is a prime example of the the information, and i talked to detectives every day. and went out on the arrest with them on this one, and on the first one. they are getting a lot of information, and that makes the partnership valuable. and we still have calls comng in and interest on the facebook page, it's going around

and the death of cecil the lion leading to a debate of when it's hunting and when it's poaching august 9th, 2014, a year ago today, 18-year-old michael brown, that unarmed black teen shot and killed by a white police officer in missouri. the shooting and protest that followed changing the conversation about race in america forever. today michael brown was remembered with this march, where he was shot. it was followed by 4.5 minutes of silence. as part of the event there was a rap concert and a discussion about racial justice. we begin the coverage with diane eastabrook in sofia vergara. >> how the hell do you think we feel? you kill us in the speech. >> reporter: fiery speeches. >> talk of change is rising up. >> reporter: followed by silent reflection. this is how ferguson, missouri remembered michael brown, hundreds filling the street where the unarmed black teen was killed a year ago by a white police officer. >> we have died, marched in, and nothing happened. it is time for us to not seek justice, but demand justice. >> reporter: lindsay and matt hill travelled from seattle to teach their sons a lesson in race relations. >> we have been talking a lot with julian about police brutality and black lives matter, we wanted to be here. for the second day in a row, michael brown's father led demonstrators from the site where his son was killed through the streets of ferguson. in the days leading up to the anniversary, there has been talk about the healing that has gone on. if you talk to people today, you get a sense that things have not changed much in the last year - both in ferguson and across the country. >> the whole situation is kind of scary. >> have you had encounters you felt were dangerous, with the police? >> i felt things were not really necessary. i've been stopped several times. mainly just because i was black. >> this year has been hard - no accountability, no justice. police are still killing us. >> erica garner, whose father was killed last year by police in new york, says race must be an issue in next year's presidential election. >> no one is talking about the issues. candidates, they are not taken serious, and, you know, it year later we believe that black lives do not matter, you know to elected officials. >> as the crowds dispersed one activist reflected on brown's legacy and was confident that the movement sparked by his death will continue >> i think this is a generational shift. i think if i were to step away now rks i don't think they'll stop. on the issue of not enough done, earlier i talked to dante barry, the executive director of the million hoodies movement for justice, and said a year after the death the problems persist. we think about the one year anniversary for michael brown, one year anniversary of the ferguson uprising. what got michael brown killed still exists regardless of new people in office, and new people in the police department. there's people with isolation. folks feel like they are trapped. i don't think things have changed. we know that ferguson was not an isolated incident. there is staten island,ar eric garner in cleveland, 12-year-old tamir rice, in baltimore, freddie gray and others. is it that the system does not get it. or is the problem too complex? >> i think it's a little bit of both. i think that the protests have been reactive, not proactive or transformative. when we see what happened in terms of the conversation, it's about nicer police, not talking about lesser police. the conversations are around body cameras. that's fine, but let's not think about how we can hold the police accountable. regardless whether or not there's a body camera. if we look at eric garner's case, we see body cameras don't solve the problem. what we have seen is a broken system, and be really need to think about how we are creating a new ideas on the stays. >> in order to fix the system, you have to have the system as it is, not as you want it the to be. what is the system as it is, versus what you might want is to be. >> i would rather have it what i want is to be, i don't want to take for things. this is why i'm an organizers, right, and why my members across the country in a million hoodies are thinking about how we are transforming the system. we don't want to accept how it is, and we ching how to transform the system that works with us, not against us. are. >> talking about the anger we were told what we might expect going forward. >> remember a year ago the national conversation on policing didn't exist. now there was a space where people understand the narrative, are not predicated on police. here what is carried out in the findings, we'll see what happens. in the future i think the protest community will start to think about solutions more intently, how to end police violence. >> will things be peaceful in the upcoming days at least? >> the only violent people have been the police. they've killed eight people here in st. louis and paralyzed one. protests are peaceful, the violent people are the police. i want to push back and ask a question that police ask you. we spend a lot of time looking at them. they would ask, should the move look inward. they'd argue a lot of people are behind blahs are for black on black violence. they handle societies, where should the line be drawn? the department of justice says they were criminalizing justice. just because they were black, they were victims of the police department. there were many criminal records, by the police, who weren't criminals. that was proven by the d.o.j. i'm struggling with the narrative. black on black crime is a red herring argument, most crime has been within sort of race groups. that is it nothing sort of special here, this is a police department proven to have criminalized blackness in, many ways new police chief, manager and judge, will it be enough for ferguson. >> you can't swap out people at the top to change a culture. we noted is to be true. the racist police practices were deeply rooted, and i look forward to seeing it play out, so we can see the actual structural change, not cosmetic changes, which is the only thing we have seen so far. >> will there be a honeymoon period for all the newly appointed officials? >> the reality is that the policing has not ended. there's no honeymoon period when people haven't experienced justice, and people are still terrorized by police. hopefully the police in power understand the urgency, and work with the d.o.j. to implement the findings of the report and work with the decree as best as possible. >> before i let you go, one thing that emerged last year in ferguson was captain johnson from the missouri police, was he a calming factor and is he still a calming factor or is he viewed as the apparatus, the machine. >> the reality is captain johnson was in charge when many were tear gassed, pepper sprayed and smoke bombs deployed. we'll never forget the moments. i think captain johnson attempted to be a stable force, in some moments he was probably better than the alternative. again at that time there was a police department that was actively hurting us, going out of his way to terrorize us. >> with that as a backdrop, how do you explain the anger at a white police department when the man in charge during those times was an african american. >> remember, this is about a structure of policing bigger than any person. the chief was in charge of the county police, and chief jackson with the ferguson police department. ron johnson is one of the people making decisions. he was not the only person. what you said was not true. the idea that captain johnson was the sole person in charge. there were many others leading in the space, it's a culture of policing that is deeper than a person. that was activist deray there was a conversation about fresh freedom. wesley was a journalist working on an article in mcdonald's, when he said police moved in. he told us about his interaction with the ferguson police. >> it was august 15th, two days after police used tear gas and rubber bullets, on this day it was a peaceful protest during the daytime. the police made the tactical decision to attempt to clear the buildings prior to nightfall. they illegally took us into detention because we weren't clearing the building fast enough to their liking. it was a story that went viral because it was the first time that reporters exercising the first amendment rights were in custody in ferguson. ustly, that was something we saw repeated night after night for two weeks following that. >> he didn't let his experience stop him doing his job. he's back in ferguson tonight, recovering. . >> there has been a tragic shooting in texas, it happened last night, police have a suspect but are trying to figure out what happened and why. >> reporter: police say the investigation is fluid, many questions are unanswered. the suspect broke into his former home, restrained the adults and children and killed them. >> reporter: 48-year-old david conley is charged with fatally shooting a family of eight, six children, the youngest six years cold. >> we do not and cannot comprehend the motivation of an individual taking the lives of so many innocent people. especially the lives of the young ones. >> the motive, say police, may have been a domestic dispute between the suspect and a woman valerie, his former partner. saturday night a phone call was received asking them to make a welfare check. >> a male was in the home with an aggravated assault on the family member. >> that's when the police saw a body of a child through the window. >> deputies forced their way into the home and were met with gunfire. >> after calling for back up, the suspect surrendered. upon entering the home, victim discovered the victims, jackson, her husband and six children. >> the victims were found in each of the three bedrooms. david conley is charged with three counts of capital murder. >> the felony of burglary, along with murdering valerie. another count is killing multiple people in the same incident. and then the other is for killing a child. >> police believe the oldest child in the home, a 13-year-old, was the suspect's own child. the da's office says there's so many victims in this case. the three counts cover different manners and means of capital murder, including multiple people. a judge denied bond for the suspect. . >> thank you. >> tomorrow on al jazeera america, our special coverage that we call summer of the gun. throughout the day we'll bring you stories of gun violence that continues to plague america. also guns are used in violent crimes smuggled along the secret highway. al jazeera looks at the jirn pipeline after the break and a child sex ring broken up in india. it could be the largest ever and marking 70 years since the atomic bomb was dropped on nagasaki, japan. japan. [ bell tolls ] 70 years ago today japan marking 70 years since the u.s. dropped a bomb on nagasaki. today's ceremony at peace park, remembering the 40,000 people who died significantly back in 1945. both bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki near the end of world war ii, the results so devastating the weapon has not been used since. a troop of u.s. soldiers arriving in turkey for anti-i.s.i.l. operations. flying in with half a dozen f-16 fighter jets, based less than 100 miles from the syrian boarder. it will ensure that i.s.i.l. doesn't cross into europe. the location allowing the carrying out of bombing raids. now to pakistan, where a child sex abuse scandal is costing calls for investigation. several hundred children were used in sex videos some as young as six years old. there are now questions over whether police failed to prosecute everyone available. >> reporter: pakistani police are saying some 280 children from sexually abused and assaulted. there are reports that some 400 videos from made, and thousands ended up on the market sold for as little as $0.40 each. the parents are saying that the videos could have ended abroad in the u.s., u.k. and europe. reports are coming out from the parents and the victims, saying that children had been truant and families forced to pay money, jewellery to the gangs. essentially they were blackmailed by the gangs. the families of the victims are calling for a full judicial inquiry, and don't trust the police to investigate this, and calling for military courts to hear cases of the accused. this created a great controversy in pakistan, a deal of outrage and disgust among the public, in a country where the protection of human rights is poor, and many have little faith in the judicial system. which they say is ripe donald trump hitting back at critics that say we went too far with comments been megyn kelly, trump saying "you could see there was blood coming out of her ice, out of her wherever", he said he was referring to her knows and dismissed notion that he suggested she was tough on him because she was having her period. >> only a deviate would say what i said was what they were referring to. no one can say that. you have to be sick to put that together the comments cost trump an invitation to a conservative gathering in georgia, fellow republicans urging him to apologise. chris wallace talked about it with carly fiorina on fox news. >> you ask tough questions, you talked to donald trump about his regard of bankruptcy, i didn't notice donald trump insulting you for 24 hours. there's no excuse for this. i don't think you get things done by insulting everyone trump saying that he cherishes women and would be their best advocate if he is elected president on the democratic side, bernie sanders responding to protesters that interrupted this speech in seattle. >> if you do not listen to us, you'll be shot down right now they were protesters from black lives matters. bernie sanders allowed them to speak and ended up leaving, he posted a statement saying: bernie sanders talked about the issues during a rally in seattle last night gun violence plagues the nation, the policy fight seems to be more like the civil war, north, rather than south. there are fewer restrictions, but the guns don't say that. robert ray explains. >> hello, how are you. >> reporter: this is little's bait and tackle shop in a small town in georgia, one of 4,000 licensed gun dealers in the state. this is the owner. little is the source of the gun used to kill new york city police officer brian moore in may, stolen from the pawn shop in 2011. this video caught the masked thieves in action, taking 23 weapons, nine in new york city. and the police never caught the guys that robbed the store. >> no, they had hoodies, ski masks and gloves. they never caught anything or anything. >> reporter: the guns make their way up what is known as the iron pipeline, an illegal trade route running up 95 to states of new york. >> there's a lot of gun violence in the country. >> in spite of attempts by law-maker and police to shut it down, the pipeline remains open. georgia is ground zero. >> two new york city officers ambushed in december were killed by a georgia gun. >> what do you say to politicians up north, saying the southern laws are too lax, and that is why the police officers are armed and shot, and bad guys trade guns? >> if tell you something, they got the same laws here has they do in new york. purchase of a gun. >> well they are definitely more lax down here. >> why are they lax here? >> the gun laws here are lax. when you purchase a gun, you can carry it anywhere if you have the proper permits, you can't do it in new york or chicago or anything like that. >> here, we believe in protecting yourself. >> reporter: purchasing a firearm in the state of georgia is simple. all you need is a driver's licence, going through a background check taking 20-30 minutes, and obtain a gunonline with no check at all. georgia leads the country as a source of firearms in other states. in 2013, 3,000 guns were confiscated outside the city by police, with florida running behind. according to data from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms, we reached out, but they did not respond to the request for an interview. i was shocked initially when i heard happened. upset, police captain. law enforcement means fundi gun running. putting drug addiction that looks for drugs, and that basically stop cars and try to deter trafficking and people. and transferring large amounts of money. those same units are looking for weapons, not focussed on drugs. is there enough of them? >> well, my opinion there's not enough police officers. the author are the safe carry protection law, passed in april of 2014. it allows georgia residents without a record to purchase a firearm, carry a weapon in all public faces. critics called it the guns everywhere law. people compare the guns trade up north. would you say it's on that level? >> i don't know anything about it. i have the fortune to say i've never been to new york city. i haven't really vected to look at what goes on in the nearby corridor. the bills i sponsored have been around georgia, and how we can strengthen the law, making it fair for individuals and make it effective that the law it has makes it easier to understand and effective. maybe it's state legislature in new york to work on theirs too. the iron pipeline and the gun running is media hype. >> i think it's another little tid bit that is thrown out there by media consultants, trying to making is out of this when there are weapons that are unfortunately used recent lip, were bought years ago, legally, and lost track of. as you do. we know who bought it initially. and the subsequent owners, you don't know. according to a report, 2800 firearms were covered, have been traced back to georgia from 2005 to 2014. clarence little says he wants to sell the pawn shop and set up better cameras in his store. >> there's nothing that we can do about it. if the cops were to spend more time in the areas, then you wouldn't have anywhere near the break-ins. >> georgia law does not require stolen guns, making it easy to buy guns, sell them to criminals, making the iron pipeline more difficult to clog and shut down and another reminder tomorrow on al jazeera america, our special coverage, we are calling summer of the gun continues when the hunters become the hunted. the killing of cecil the lion by an american dentist sparking outrage. now the world may be ready to take action. a push for conservation in the week ahead. a tiny town in florida is popular, there's a waiting list. al jazeera goes inside one of america's unique communities. welcome back, here is a look at the top stories - a man suspected of killing eight people inside a home in houston has been charged with murder. prosecutors saying he broke into the house, tied up the victims and shot them. six are dead. children. he had once been in a relationship with one of the victims. >> it was one year ago today 18-year-old michael brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in ferguson, missouri. michael brown was an african american, sparking protests in a movement black lives matter frank gifford died of natural causes at his home. he was 84 years old. the hall of famer playing in five championship games in the 1950s and '60s, and was an original announcer on "monday night football", and is survived by kathy lee gifford of the today show, and their two children it's sunday night, time for a look at "the week ahead". tomorrow is world lyon day and wednesday world elephant day, both in the news following the death of cecil the lion in zimbabwe. and there's a step up on buying and selling illegal ivory. first, courtney kealy puts us face to face with why the discussion about wildlife conservation is badly needed the african savannah home to breath-taking creatures, both beautiful and deadly. while there are preserves and sanctuaries to stave off the loss of land and nature. there's big game hunting. it draws hundreds of millions in revenue and thousands of americans every year. after walter palmer, a 55-year-old american dentist mistakenly killed zimbabwe's prize lion named cecil, social media exploded, forcing the issue into the spotlight. palmer allegedly paid 50,000 for the controversial kill. delta airlines announced it would no longer transport animal trophies like lions, elephants and rhinos. other airlines announced it bans. there was disappointment released saying:. >> and that hunting is a major source of south africa's socioeconomic activity, contributing to job creation, community development and social uplift. president roosevelt set out to hunt big game, killing more than 512 animals, 17 lions and 11 elephants. his year-long hunt collected 110 scientific specimens, and he published dozens of books on natural history and is considered to be a visionary conservationist. these days animal rights activists argue controlled hunting leads to illegal activity. in cluing poaching. the u.s. used to be the center of illegal ivory trade, and the crush event aims to bring attention to the plight of elephants killed for their tusks. >> 1980 there's approximately 1.2 million elephants. now there's less than 500,000. every day 96 elephants are killed, one every 15 minutes, 35,000 a year. and at this rate elephants will be extinct. >> everyone has to be active. >> film-maker will release the documentary in the fall called racing extinction. [ singing ] the goal of his event, a video projection covering 33 floors of the empire state building, was to draw attention to the many species facing mass extension. >> there's millions of animals gone through the same gauntlet of history to be here, and one species is causing them to go extinct. i want them to look in the eyes of beautiful animals and see the exquisite beauty of them, and fall in love with them. trophy hunting is not the largest threat. a lot of animals face loss of habitat because of people, us, encroaching on their living pace. space. not all hunting is bad. it sounds strange, but experts say when it's done right it can preserve wild life, especially when host countries set up systems, revenue can be used to support and protect animals. the british government announced a multi-million dollar fund to help endangered species, hoping to discourage poaching and hunting a wildlife biologist joins us. live from boston. thank you for being with us. what does it say that if not for cecil the lion, we may not pay attention to the issue, giving it the attention it deserves. >> it does deserve a lot of attention. we are right now at war. we are battling to save our species, many falling pray to the butcher, in the form of the poacher, and the level of peaching is unprecedented. poaching is why one out of every 12 african elements has -- elephants has disappeared, been illegally harvested in the last few years, it's because of poaching that a race of black rhino is extinct and a subspecies of white rhino has a few individuals left. it's a $30 billion industry, and we are at the battle lines, and we are losing the war. >> what does it say that the dentist in this case thought he was hunting legally? what it says is that you may have a hunting licence and purchased the appropriate tags within the region that you are hunting, but if you break the regional laws for whatever reason, you are considered a poacher. >> i want to say something that i know you have heard before, people hunting people is a problem. when cecil the lion was killed there was outrage, i want to take you back. hundreds of thousands in syria died, millions displaced. what does it say about society where it seems we seem to value animals more than humans, you hear that, what is your push back on that? >> well, i think when cecil was basically dispatched in an unethical way, an unforgiving way, i think it was a wake up call. sobering us up to what many are facing today. cecil was drawn out from an ultimate protected area, a sacred part of the world called a national park. all the factors came into play to create a storm of sobriety. i think it's important that we need to take the energy and be rational and focus the energy in a real-world situation to changes affecting wildlife and the challenges to our own species places a role in all life on the planet. when we see human being in all sorts of situations it's a reflection of an ecosystem out of pound. according to the programme on african protected areas and conservations, south africa making the most from big game hunting safaris, bringing in about $100 million per year, followed by namibia with 29 million, tanzania 28 million, botswana 20 million. the agency says the numbers can be misleading and they represent a small drop in the money that the country generates. i guess we have to ask the question this way, are the countries concerned about losing money or wildlife? >> it's really a tough question to answer. the argument on the side of the game hunting in africa is that there's an economic value attached to the aesthetic value of wildlife. if it's not protected. it will not come in to protect other species with the right to hunt that creature. within the environments that we live. that's the argument. as you mentioned we probably see about $200 million flowing to africa. half of that is spent in south africa. there's only 11 out of 54 countries in africa, nine sub-saharan that allow hunting and there's an argument out there that moneys go directly towards conservation. when you start getting into the metrics, it's when things are no longer black and white and look a little grey. we know that about 3% of revenue benefits local communities. if you look at the american model you can see where hunting is considered a partnership in conservation. in dear hunting we have 10 million harvesting 6 million deer. overall the hunting revenue generates 760 million a year, accounting for half the budget of most of the states from managing natural resources. >> stand by. we are joined by david hays, joining us from charlottesville, the former deputy secretary of the interior department thank you for being with us. joining the discussion. what are the arguments made. it's that we are seeing nothing more than survival of the fittest. nature thinning the herd, this time hunters being the top of the food change, talk about that. >> the argument is similar to what jeff talked about, when you have vibrant populations of animals, that there is a natural selection process that occurs. there's a rhythm and a need for hunting and culling. the issue is more challenging when you have species that are under tremendous stress, like the elephants, rhinos, tigers in africa and asia, that's when it is more complex. >> speak to the people that don't get the issue of big game hunting. if you take the united states, as an example, there's a grocery store on every corner, and we buy the food wrapt, and it's already prepared. we don't have to do this. why do big game hunters have to do what they do? well, there's a hunting tradition in the united states that goes way back, and with teddy roosevelt and a number of conservationists being at the forefront of that. >> can i mention the argument when teddy roosevelt was president, they hunted indians. >> look, i'm personally not a hunter, and not one to be out advocating for hunting, but there is a place for hunting. there's a place where hunting should not occur. what concerns me is when we have elephant, rhino populations and logan brown populations under stress, there needs to be a scientific showing that hunting can enhance the species, it can be done. the department of the interior, my former department found last year, for example, that elephant hunting in zimbabwe, the same country involved with cecil the lion, in tanzania was not being done responsibly, and as a result the united states said no hunter could bring tanzania trophies from elephant ivory. . >> i have about 20 seconds left. the airlines saying they will not carry big game in the cargo holds. did you push for them to do that after the death of cecil the line, and what did they say. >> i did not personally push for them to stop the transportation of trophies, it's a difficult issue, because it's not illegal to transport trophies, there's plenty of legal wildlife parts that are transported, i applaud that are transported, i applaud airports saying we are going to make sure in our holds we are not transporting illegal ivory for tiger bone or wildlife parts of many kinds which is the underlying story, that is fuelling the problem with species, more than hunters per se david hayes, former deputy secretary at the interior department. mr hayes, thank you. wildlife biologist jeff harvey norman in boston, thank you for being with us. >> raging flames, showing no signs of letting down. the race against the clock in the west, as wildfires claiming another life. and a chemical spill in a colorado river leading to a nearby emergency for towns. . >> she was in shock, her arm bit off here, her arm was gone from here. >> authorities in florida saying an alligator attacked a woman as she was swimming in the river. kayakers rescued the woman. wildlife authorities captured the gaiter, they couldn't reattach her arm, too much time has passed wildfires in california claiming near life. a firefighter killed by a falling tree, near lake tahoe. he was 21 years old. kevin corriveau has been tracking the weather. >> it's been dry. the threat is going to go up. before we get to the forecast. i want to show a satellite image, from this morning into the evening. it's the day time hours, this area here, this is smoke from the wildfires blowing to the north-east. you notice during the end of the day we started to get some clouds here. those are tomorrows building up in the heating of the day. we have to watch out as we go towards monday and tuesday. i want to go closer to the region. we go closer to the region, we see higher elevation. during the day time, 15-18% humidity. we are seeing it rise in the evening, and the wind coming down, as we go towards tomorrow, the temperatures are expected to be in the low 80s. no rain in the forecast. we are expecting thunder storms, not any rain out of the thunder storms, we'll see lightening. and that will be the big problem there. across the south temperatures are coming down. tomorrow, watch out because the temperatures are coming up. dallas texas, a high of 105 degrees, factoring in the heat. it's expected to be more like 115, all the way down to louisiana, very dangerous situation. >> dangerous and hot. thank you very much. >> experts warn frightening levels of heavy metal, such as lead and arsenic - they have declared state of emergency, 3 million gallons of waste water, spilling into the river, turning it orange. the inspectors triggered the still. >> a popular dance floor among retirees, it was built for postal workers, and now there's a waiting list to get in and retire there. >> andy gallagher reports. >> florida is referred to as god's fitting room. retirement committees are abundant. this one is different. this town was created, designed and paid for by the postal workers union and everyone here spent years delivering the mail, amongst the letter carriers, a digs to move to nalcrest was not obvious. >> i blew it off as an old place where carriers go to sit and talk about the good old days and doesn't do anything. when i came in 2003 and came in january, it was the opposite. i fell in love with it. >> reporter: the concept came about 50 years oak, offer postal workers a cheep place to live, with neighbours that walked the same career path, something that property manager said created a special place to live. >> they have something in common with everyone, something they can talk about, and just a sense of belonging and, you know, i think it's something that they cherish very much. >> nine of spades. >> nal crest is not only deeply popular amongst retired postal workers, it's unique, it's the only community of its kind in the u.s. and the future is assured. >> the best thing to do is live here. it's a great place. >> as everyone knows, it's a great place here. >> yes. >> this has everything you could need, a gulf course, a swimming pool, a library, the list goes on. there's one thing you won't find here, and that's the eternal enemy of postal enemies everywhere, the dog. kain ins are banned. there's other hazards here, for the most part crest is a restful place, those that spent years on their feet delivering letters. >> when we come back, sworn enemies working together. a local sheriff enlisting drug dealers to help him fight the war on drugs. and soccer hooligans on a rampage. looks like england, but it's here in the states. . >> apparently a little bit of levity goes a long way in law enforcement, the sheriff in franklin country finding that out. posting a flyer asking drug dealers to help in the war on drugs by turning in their competition. and it seems to be working. franklin county sheriff joining us now. mr melton, thank you for being [with us. let me see if i had it right you asked the drug dealers to turn in the competition, and they did. >> absolutely. we had - since this started at the beginning of the weak, we had over 275,000 views, but more than that over 30 credible tips coming in, from one little flyer. >> were you surprised? >> i really was. we meant it as a light-hearted approach but it goes deeper. the first investigation we have a convicted felon with four hand guns, an ounce of cocaine, part of the crack and powder, and four pounds of marijuana, off this one drug dealer in a neighbourhood in our community, at the end of the day i said if we were successful, we'd get one off the streets. we have 39 waiting for us. >> i should point out this was not an original idea - did you steal it much? >> we absolutely - stealing is harsh. we improvised it from mcintyre jessop. they had success, it has really engaged our community and country about drug traffickers. >> i improvised my s.a.t. scores, i want to point out that this adds meaning to the phrase honour among thieves. >> it does. and we know that we have made an impact already, because we have had death threats called in over the tip line, we have had people call and see if it's for real, and you see them in the background - i told you that was for real, and the detective says you need to leave your information. no, we are good, click. >> and on the light-hearted approach, it's been successful and there's no honour among thieves, i assure you. >> we are talking about a serious problem with heroin and drug overdoses in your county. >> not only ours, across the commonwealth and i think across the country. if you have a loved one hooked on heroin or crystal meth or cocaine, solve those families see what the drug deal is doing to the family. they'll help us get rid of them. the partnership with the communities, especially in franklin county, being kentucky, we have a great partnership with the community, in is just another tool. >> are you concerned that publicity may not be a good thing. the word is getting out about what you did, and the people that you are trying to bust? >> people will tell you no matter what. they always do, and for those - this first case is a prime example of the the information, and i talked to detectives every day. and went out on the arrest with them on this one, and on the first one. they are getting a lot of information, and that makes the partnership valuable. and we still have calls comng in and interest on the facebook page, it's going around other sheriff's officers are using it. we have calls in california, texas, and we have comments and facebook messages to the county sheriff's facebook page, from germany and australia. it's been well received. >> pat melton joining us live from louisville. thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. dismoo ufr heard the saying i went to a soccer game and a hockey game broke out. take a look. this actually happening in newark new jersey, from the rifrl new york red bull, and the nycfc taking part in a brawl between the teams played. it's unclear if any arrests were made when it showed up. eight members inducted into the pro football hall of fame. among him the later junior sayu. after his suicide, his family sued the n.f.l. alleging he suffered brain injuries. and it did allow her to be interviewed on stagement. >> i hope this induction can indemnify the fact that you are more than 55, you are a light. i want nothing more than to see you come on stage, give the speech you were meant to give and tell me you love me one last time. >> hall of famer. >> it's a competition where mowing down your lawn isn't just necessary, it's required. 21 hour endurance race between mowers, whose top 40 miles per hour. the winning distance 314 miles included. thank you for joining us. the news continues. have a good night. sgrfrming tonight in our debate, ukraine is still on
