>> i joan michael's parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully. >> thousands of people have been taking place in protests in cities right across the country, including los angeles and new york. one other story today, pope francis addresses the european parliament and says europe appears tired and out of touch with the world. hello, and welcome to the program. there's been a furious reaction in the united states to the decision by grand jury in the state of missouri not to bring charges against a white policeman who shot dead an unarmed black teenager. within hours, thousands of people have rallied across american cities to express their anger at the decision, but it was in ferguson where the shooting took place in august where there's been the most violence. shots were fired. cars toppled. at least a dozen buildings set alight as firefighters were also targeted. police fired tear gas to break up the crowd of protesters. the death of 18-year-old michael brown, shot by darren wilson, sparked weeks of protest after the shooting on august 9th. this report from our correspondent. >> turn over the police vehicle immediately. >> reporter: it didn't take long for the streets of ferguson to erupt. peaceful demonstrations turned ugly. police fired tear gas into the crowds as they clashed with protesters. these were the scenes everyone was dreading, but also anticipating. it came after the grand jury decided not to press charges after the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, michael brown. >> they determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against officer wilson and return a no true bill on each of the five indictments. the physical and scientific evidence examined by the grand jury combined with the witness statements supported and substantiated by that physical evidence tells the accurate and tragic story of what happened. >> reporter: in august, 18-year-old michael brown died after being shot at 12 times. these newly-released pictures show darren wilson, the officer who pulled the trigger, with injuries to his face. the grand jury agreed he had acted in self-defense. many protesters say they weren't surprised by the outcome because they didn't trust the grand jury in the same way that many people say they don't trust the police. president obama called for calm in the wake of the case, which has opened up racial divisions in america. >> we need to recognize that the situation in ferguson speaks to broader challenges that we still face as a nation. the fact is in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. >> but hurting others or destroying property is not the answer. >> reporter: in a statement, the brown family said they were profoundly disappointed by the verdict, but violence wasn't an appropriate reaction. but some here feel it's the only way they can respond. >> st. louis county police chief john belmar says the violence on the streets now is much worse than after the shooting in august. >> i'm disappointed this evening. i didn't see a lot of peaceful protests out there tonight and i'm disappointed about that. i'm not saying there weren't folks out there that were out there for the right reason, but i am saying unfortunately this spun out of control, and frankly, what i'm seeing tonight, and i have been up there all evening right in the middle of it along with captainscaptai captainjohnson, is probably much worse than the worst night we had in august and it's truly unfortunate. i said several months ago during an interview, what would be the worst thing that could happen? the fact of the matter, i said to tear the fabric of this community apart. and that has happened here tonight. there's not a lot left between soulway and chambers road. and those are businesses that may never come back. so frankly, i'm heartbroken about that. the good news is, we've not fired a shot. as far as i know, we don't have any serious injuries to police officers. they're banged up a little bit with rocks. one lieutenant from the patrol got hit in the head with a glass bottle. but we don't have any serious injuries. as far as i know, we haven't caused any serious injuries. we did deploy tear gas. i talked to the sergeant from the highway patrol. i said hey -- he goes hey, we were at a death foam. he says there was no way we were getting out of this. so we also deployed gas at west fluorescent and chambers road this evening. so i'm very uplifted by the fact that we don't have any loss of life, because that's the main goal here. >> john belmar, the police chief. as we've seen the news that darren wilson wouldn't be charged over the shooting of michael brown, has caused widespread anger in ferguson. the bbc spent the evening at a local barbershop, and employees there spoke of the simmering anger building up and gave their reaction as that announcement by the grand jury was made. this report also contains swearing, which we have bleeped out in parts. >> i've been working here five years, and not one time have i taken my equipment home and i'm doing it tonight. we've got college students in town, we got schools closed. these are all things that we're worried about because we have people out here with free time on our hands. talk about agitators and peaceful protesters, a bad mix. and now we're just really on the edge, waiting to see what happens. i can tell you for sure, 100%, they're going to burn the city down. there's no doubt about it. >> authorizes a law enforcement officer use deadly force in certain situations. >> i lost 80% of my clientele. i've made a thousand dollars in three months. this is horrible. i'm trying to find another job right now. my kids are worrying about christmas right now. >> st. louis police have done an extensive investigation at the crime scene. >> it's awful. i just hope they keep the peace. >> we determined that no probable cause exists. >> man, [ bleep ] this! why not? >> during the altercation -- >> going to burn this [ bleep ] city down. they fixing to [ bleep ] this city up. it's over with. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] i think it's [ bleep ]. i know what's going to happen already. and now look what we're going to have to deal with? they're going to burn this [ bleep ] city down tonight. i'm pissed. i'm angry. i ain't going to do it. but i feel like i want to do it, you know what i'm saying? i feel it. he knew what was beginning to happen the day he got shot. this is [ bleep ]. this is -- man. [ bleep ]. >> everybody gotta go. >> more than 12 buildings burned to the ground in the last few hours. 150 shops also fired by protesters and demonstrators. the police chief, though, pointing out that no live rounds have been fired by his officers, although they had deployed tear gas. some 29 people arrested. no one actually, though, fortunately, remarkably, killed in those clashes. i've been getting an update on what was currently happening in ferguson. i spoke to michael calhoun, a reporter for knlx radio in st. louis. >> things have calmed down somewhat, although there are still buildings on fire, with bright orange flames lapping skyward, and it looks from the video feed in the newsroom, it looks like the roof of the building, this building in particular, has collapsed. but earlier tonight, we saw more than a dozen buildings set on fire, countless more that were struck by looters, protesters in the middle of the street burning police cars, tipping them over, or attempting to. tear gas was used by police. as you heard john belmar there, he said this is without a doubt the worst night that ferguson has seen. >> the state of emergency declared in the run-up to this decision by the grand jury, the national guard in the area, but not deployed until quite recently. is there some controversy about that decision? >> the national guard, even when it has been deployed, which it was tonight, its mission was to simply protect certain areas, certain buildings, police departments around the command center in certain areas, to protect shopping areas. and so the goal according to the governor was never to get the national guard involved in actual policing, even though tonight there were several instances where i was out on some of these streets with buildings being set on fire and looted and there were no police around. the governor tonight did say he's calling in additional national guard soldiers, but their role is still going to be to simply fortify the defense around some of these buildings. >> has this decision by the grand jury been met on racial lines, or are there significant members of the community there who believe this was the right decision given the testimony by darren wilson that he was fearing for his life and shot basically in self-defense. >> well, and we're still poring through, especially given the fact that even's attention in the region has been focused on what's been going on in ferguson, and there were also protests in st. louis last night, which resulted in tear gas there as well. so i think the last eight hours or so since we've had to kind of digest this decision, you know, we've tried to take a look at some of the documents that have been released, but i don't think many people in the general public have really had a chance to digest that information. >> michael calhoun from kmox radio in missouri. apart from the violent scenes in that county, there have also been protests elsewhere in america. thousands of people rallied in u.s. cities, including los angeles and in new york. the most disruptive demonstrations have been, as we saw, though, in st. louis, where ferguson is located. also in oakland, in california. just across the bay from san francisco. groups also gth gathered in chi, salt lake city, washington, d.c. >> protests erupted across america. in new york, thousands marched in fury over the grand jury decision. to them, it just reopens the wounds from decades of racial discrimination. >> it was expected, but still an absolute blow to those of us that wanted to see a fair and open trial. i think that it is clear that even when you see a blow coming that you expected, it still hurts nonetheless. >> reporter: this was los angeles. >> we don't have our justice! >> you don't get no peace. >> reporter: a peaceful protest, although memories are still fresh of riots in 1992. some are warning of dangers now that a white police officer hasn't been found guilty after killing an unarmed black teenager. >> this travesty of injustice, you haven't seen anything yet. we're getting ready to tell america in a very bold, nonviolent way that we're tired of the murder of our boys on the streets of america. >> reporter: more disruptive protests were held in oakland just across the bay from san francisco. demonstrators flooded the lanes of the motorways, holding their hands in the air. in seattle, a few hundred demonstrators staged so-called die-ins, lying down and blocking major crossroads. away from a coast in middle america, emotional demonstrators in chicago carried banners demanding justice and freedom. the case touched a raw nerve here, too. >> seeing our kids dying in the street. i'm tired of seeing black mothers murder their babies. i'm tired of being scared myself. 18 years old and i don't know what's going to happen to me in these streets. >> reporter: the anger reached the gates of the white house, putting yet more pressure on the president to restore calm. emily buchanan, bbc news. stay with us here on "bbc world news." still to come, we're in strasburg, where pope francis has made a highly critical speech of the european parliament saying it is aloof and guilty of insensitive rules. ♪ ♪ you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it.

there rules a white police officer who shot dead an unarmed black teenager won't stand trial. michael brown's family say they are profoundly disappointed as the authorities set up security, president obama calls for calm. more on that in a moment. but first, pope francis has said during the years of economic crisis, europe had become elderly and less of a protagonist. he was speaking to the european parliament in strasburg in a wide-ranging speech. the pontiff said he wanted to bring a message of hope to european citizens who had become increasingly distrustful of their institutions. >> translator: in recent years, as the european union has expanded, there has been a growing mistrust on the part of citizens towards institutions which they regard as aloof, engaged in laying down rules which they perceive as insensitive to individual people's concerns, if not actually harmful. in many quarters, we gain a general impression of weariness, of aging, of a europe as grandmother, no longer fertile and lively. as a result, the great ideas which once inspired europe seem to have lost their power of attraction and being replaced by the bureaucratic technicalities of europe's institutions. >> our correspondent david gra m -- gramaticas joins us. a speech about the diminishing values of europe, david. >> reporter: it was critical on the one hand, yes. but at the same time, a message of encouragement. the pope has just finished a few minutes ago and left the chamber, and he's heading out. we'll see on the monitors as he heads out in a second or two. i think the key thing you may not have quite got time to carried in the live coverage we had of it was right at the end. he said the time has come for us to abandon an idea of europe, which is fearful and self-absorbed, and to revive a europe of leadership. a europe which cares for every man and woman. a precious point of reference for all humanity. he had said earlier on that -- called europe an ambitious political project. if you like, it's a call to try to revive those original values that inspired europe, which i think the pope wants to connect with, because he sees that as a way i think of connecting his own message, which is very much a personal one. try to reach out to personal people's concerns in their daily lives, which is why he talked about -- and you heard him talk about a little early migration, saying the mediterranean cannot become a vast graveyard. these with people who need to be welcomed in. he talked about employment. the need to create jobs for people in europe. so real concrete issues that he wants to reach out, but at the same time, as you're saying, critical of european institutions, but trying to encourage them, saying this is a political project that can inspire people. >> also a focus on the dug anity of human beings and the erosion of that dignity. if they cannot work or find a job to actually start a family. >> yes. and again, i think here is a theme that we've heard this pope mention again and again. often talking about these questions of individual people. the poor, the excluded, the migrants. those living in conflict and hunger. he talked about that in his speech. so what we're seeing is a pope who has this sort of political message, but it's a different one. he mentioned the beginning of his speech. previous visit by a pope here 25 years ago, john paul ii. that was a sort of political pope in a different era, a divided europe. this is a pope in an era that's much more secular, reaching out, trying to find new ways to connect with people in europe. and he mentioned this as a platform he felt he had here to talk to 500 million citizens of europe. that's crucial i think for him. the church is finding ways to try to reach out and i think we have him on our monitors now, just walking out, getting a little wave as he's leaving the parliament here. but that's what he's trying to do. i think he's trying to find new ways both to encourage the european project, if you like, but also for the vatican and the church to reach out to people in europe, too. >> what sort of response did he get, for those that didn't catch the speech here live. >> well, it was interesting. there were those very critical elements in his speech. talk about europe being aloof and the idea that these are just institutions that have become technical bodies out of touch with people's concerns. but he did get a lot of applause during his speech. he's trying to push this idea that there are these core sort of values, the sort of concern for individuals, that europe shouldn't just be an economic project, it should be something that allows citizens in europe, the poor, the marginalized, to be cared for, to develop, to have opportunities, and that's something that gives europe a sense -- a sort of leadership role, or a role that makes it an example for other countries, too, or other regions. so he had a sort of positive message, and that was well-greeted here, but also laced with those criticisms. >> as he leaves the european parliament in strasburg. is this just a flying visit, or has he got other official engagements today as well? >> he has one more engagement. he's going from here now in that car that he's just jumped into. he's driving a very short distance to the council of europe. that's the european body charged with promoting human rights throughout the continent. he's going to make another speech there, similar message there again i think about the need for europe to reconnect with those sort of fundamental values, to lose that sense that it is aged and weary, as he said at the beginning of his speech here, and to find a new sort of vitality. so he's going to repeat that. but interestingly, this is the shortest papal visit that i think has ever happened. he's on the ground here for three and a half, four hours before he's back on his plane flying back to the vatican, and then will head off on other visits later in the month. so a very, very quick turnaround. but in the political ae.r.a. that is what's interesting. he was here in the parliament, a political arena with a political sort of message. >> yeah. and some of the other themes he was picking up on as well, not only social justice and dignity, but there was also an indication that perhaps politicians needed to do more to care for the vulnerable in society, particularly the elderly who suffered, he was saying, from loneliness. also addressing the amount of waste and food mountains that exist in europe when so much of the rest of the world is starving. >> reporter: yes, yes, exactly. i don't know if you saw on the feed there, i was just watching, waving him goodbye with the beard and glasses, martin schultz, the president of the parliament, the leader of the parliament here. he's the man who invited the pope here. their sort of political leader. and so i think what he heard exactly was as you were saying, that message, this is a pope who wants to connect with ordinary people, with ordinary people's concerns, and their issues that matter to them in their daily lives. so i think trying to recreate this sense we've heard about many times, a short of conscience of the church. and that was something that came through in the pope's address that he delivered here today. but certainly, that balance, criticism but also trying to sort of send a message of confidence, calling for europe to refind its old ideals. >> all right, david grammaticas, thank you very much indeed. we'll be covering the rest of the pope's visit to strasburg coming up in the next few minutes. also the very latest on the situation in ferguson following the eruption of the latest violence there. stay with us. 3rd and 3. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking

decision not to prosecute darren wilson, the police officer on the right. president obama calls for calm. >> i join michael's parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully. thousands of people take part in protests in cities across the country, including los angeles and new york. and one other story today. pope francis addresses the european parliament and says europe appears tired and out of touch with the world. hello, and welcome to the program. there's been a furious reaction in the united states to the decision by a grand jury in the state of missouri not to bring charges against a white policeman who shot dead a black teenager. within hours, thousands had rallied across american cities to express their anger at the decision, but it was in ferguson where the shooting took place in august where there's been the most violence. shots have been fired, cars toppled, and at least a dozen buildings set alight as firefighters were also targeted. police fired tear gas to try and break up the crowds of protesters. the death of 18-year-old michael brown sparked weeks of protests after he was shot with at least 12 shots on august 9th. this report from our correspondent. >> reporter: police fired tear gas into the crowds as they crashed with protesters. these are the scenes everyone was dreading, but also anticipating. it came after the grand jury decided no tot press charges after the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager michael brown. >> they determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against officer wilson and returned a no true bill on each of the five indictments. the physical and scientific statements by the grand jury, combined with the witness statements subjected and substantiated by that evidence tells the accurate and tragic story of what happened. >> reporter: back in august, 18-year-old michael brown died after being shot at 12 times. these newly-released pictures show darren wilson, the officer who pulled the trigger, with injuries to his face. the grand jury agreed he had acted in self-defense. many protesters say they weren't surprised by the outcome because they didn't trust the grand jury in the same way that many people say they don't trust the police. president obama called for calm in the wake of the case, which has opened up racial divisions in america. >> we need to recognize that the situation in ferguson speaks to broader challenges that we still face as a nation. the fact is, in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. >> but hurting others or destroying property is not the answer. >> in a statement, the brown family said they were profoundly disappointed by the verdict, but violence wasn't an appropriate reaction. but some here feel it's the only way they can respond. >> st. louis county police chief jon belmar said the violence on the streets now is much worse than after the shooting in august. >> i'm disappointed in this evening. i really don't have any hesitation in telling you that i didn't see a lot of peaceful protest out there tonight. and i'm disappointed about that. i'm not saying there weren't folks out there that were out there for the right reason. i'm not saying that isn't the case. but i am saying that unfortunately this spun out of control. and frankly, what i'm seeing tonight, and i have been up there all evening along with captain johnson, what i've seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we ever had in august. and that's truly unfortunate. i said several months ago during an interview what would be the worst thing that could possibly happen, and the fact of the matter is, i said to tear the fabric of this community apart, and frankly that has happened here tonight. there's not a lot left on west fluorescent between soulway and chambers road, and those are businesses that may never come back. so frankly, i'm heartbroken about that. now, the good news is, we've not fired a shot. as far as i know, we don't have any serious injuries to police officers. they're banged up a little bit with rocks. one lieutenant from the patrol got hit in the head with a glass bottle. but we don't have any serious injuries. as far as i know, we haven't caused any serious injuries tonight. we did deploy tear gas. i talked to the sergeant from the highway patrol. i said hey -- he goes hey, we were at a death foam. he goes, there was no way we were getting out of this. so we also deployed gas at west fluorescent and chambers road this evening. so i'm very uplifted by the fact that we don't have any loss of life, because that's the main goal here. >> police chief jon belmar. a little earlier, i got an update on what's been happening the past few hours in ferguson from a reporter for kmox radio in st. louis. >> reporter: things have calmed down somewhat, although there are still buildings that are on fire, with bright orange flames lapping skyward, and it looks from the video feed here in the newsroom, it looks like the roof of the building has collapsed. but earlier tonight, we saw more than a dozen buildings set on fire. countless more that were struck by looters. protesters in the middle of the street burning police cars, tipping them over, or attempting to. tear gas was used by police. and as you heard slaus county police chief jon belmar there, he said this is without a doubt the worst night that ferguson has seen. >> the state of emergency declared just in the run-up to this decision by the grand jury. the national guard in the area, but not deployed until quite recently. is there some controversy about that decision? >> reporter: well, the national guard, even when it has been deployed, which it was tonight, its mission was to simply protect certain areas, certain buildings, police departments around the command center in certain areas, to protect shopping areas, and so the goal according to the governor was never to get the national guard involved in actual policing. even though tonight there were several instances where i was out on some of these streets with buildings being set on fire and looted, and there were no police around. the governor tonight did, though, say that he's calling in additional national guard soldiers. but their role is still going to be to simply fortify the defense around some of these buildings. >> has this decision by the grand jury been met on racial lines, or are there significant members of the community there who believe this was the right decision, given the testimony by darren wilson, that he was fearing for his life and shot basically in self-defense? >> well, and we're still poring through, especially given the fact that everybody's attention in the region has been focused on what's been going on in ferguson, and there were also protests in st. louis last night, which resulted in tear gas there as well. so i think the last eight hours or so, since we've had to kind of digest this decision, we've tried to take a look at some of the documents that have been released, but i don't think many people in the general public have really had a chance to digest that information. >> given the scale of this violence, we're looking at some of these pictures live. still burning buildings. just seems remarkable that there's been no loss of life so far. >> it's been remarkable that there's been no loss of life since the beginning of the protests. since the day after michael brown was killed. and that's something that authorities have remarked on, and they say despite all of the criticism that they have gotten when they bring out their armored vehicles and put on their tactical vests and their helmets, and when they use tear gas, they say, you know, nobody has been hurt, nobody has been killed by police throughout this entire three-month span, including tonight. >> is it clear when you were down there, michael, or perhaps it was pretty difficult to actually ascertain whether this violence is being driven by people from outside ferguson, as indeed it seemed to be in early august when michael brown was shot. >> reporter: well, and you might be able to glean that from taking a look at the fact that there were two different protests. and the one in st. louis was -- the protesters were talking about -- chanting about michael brown. they were out, they said, in direct response to what was -- to the grand jury decision. and they were tear gassed when they refused to move out of the street that they were blocking. meantime in ferguson, you had no major gathering point, no big group of protesters. they were scattered all over the place in small groups, setting these buildings on fire, and breaking the windows and getting into some of them, and for my experience out there, i didn't really hear any of the chanting that you've heard in some of the protests in the past. i think tonight you could say it's kind of a tale of two protests. the ones who were focused on michael brown and the situation with the grand jury, and then the looting and rioting in ferguson. >> michael calhoun there from kmox radio in st. louis. apart from the violent scenes, there have also been protests elsewhere. thousands of people rallied in u.s. cities including los angeles and new york. the most disruptive demonstrations have been in st. louis, where ferguson is located. also, though, in oakland, california. just across the bay from san francisco. groups have also gathered in chicago, salt lake city, washington, d.c., and also in seattle. the bbc's emily buchanan has this. >> reporter: protests erupted across america. in new york, thousands marched in fury over the grand jury decision. to them, it just reopens the wounds from decades of racial discrimination. >> it was expected, but still an absolute blow. to those of us that wanted to see a fair and open trial. i think that it is clear that even when you see a blow coming that you expected, it still hurts nonetheless. >> america has got to be brought to a halt! >> reporter: this was los angeles. >> we don't have our justice! >> then you don't get no peace! >> reporter: a peaceful protest, although memories are still fresh of riots in 1992. some are warning of the dangers now that a white police officer hasn't been found guilty after killing an unarmed black teenager. >> this travesty of injustice, you haven't seen anything yet. we're getting ready to tell america in a very bold, nonviolent way that we're tired of the murder of our boys on the streets of america. >> more disruptive protests were held in oakland, just across the bay from san francisco. demonstrators flooded the lanes of the motorways, holding their hands in the air. in seattle, a few hundred demonstrators staged so-called die-ins, lying down and blocking major crossroads. away from the coast in middle america, emotional demonstrators in chicago carried banners demanding justice and freedom. the case has touched a raw nerve here, too. >> they don't deserve to see their kids die in the street. i'm tired of being worried about my brother in these streets. 18 years old and i don't know what's going to happen to me in these streets. >> reporter: the anger reached the gates of the white house. putting yet more pressure on the president to restore calm. emily buchanan, bbc news. >> you're watching "bbc world news." let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. today, at least 15 people have been killed in egypt, several more injured after an

warned against allowing the mediterranean to become a vast graveyard for migrants traveling by boat from north africa. he was speaking to the european parliament in strasburg in a wide-ranging speech. the pontiff called on european leaders to promote policies that created jobs and accepted immigrants. >> translator: the boats landing daily on europe's shores are filled with men and women who need acceptance and assistance. in the absence of mutual support within the european union runs the risk of encouraging particularistic solutions to this problem, solutions which don't take into account the human dignity of the migrants, and thus contributes to slave labor and continuing social tensions. europe will be able to confront the problems associated with immigration, only if it is capable of clearly asserting its own cultural identity and enacting proper legislation that protects at the same time the rights of european citizens and ensures the protection of immigrants. >> our correspondent damian grammaticus is in strasburg, gave us an update and analysis of the pope's comments. >> reporter: he said the time has come for us to abandon an idea of europe which is fearful and self-absorbed and to revive a europe of leadership, a europe which cares for every man and woman, a precious point of reference for all humanity. and he had said earlier on, called europe an ambitious political project. if you like, it's a call to try to revive those original values that inspired europe, which i think the pope wants to connect with. because he sees that as a way i think of connecting his own message, which is very much a personal one. trying to reach out to personal people's concerns in their daily lives, which is why he talked about, and you heard him talk about a little earlier, migration, saying the mediterranean cannot become a vast graveyard. these are people who need to be welcomed in. he talked about employment, the need to create jobs for people in europe. so real concrete issues that he wants to reach out for, but at the same time, i think, as you were saying, critical of european institutions, but trying to encourage them, saying this is a political project that can inspire people. >> damian grammaticus. let's return now to the story in ferguson, missouri, where there have been protests and violence overnight. still continuing, following that decision by a grand jury in the u.s. state. not to bring charges against a white policeman, darren wilson, who shot dead a black teenager who was unarmed, michael brown, who was 18. the bbc's rajini vaidyanathan is in ferguson. she said the disturbances this time around don't feel quite the same as the disturbances following the shooting on the 9th of august. >> reporter: certainly when i was here in the summer, there was a feeling that there were violent protesters who were coming in from outside of ferguson and outside of st. louis. and infiltrating these protests and turning things violent. but i've sensed a different tone this time. i was down at the st. louis police station earlier, before things turned ugly, and i spoke to some of the protesters, some who were from ferguson itself, and one was an older woman. she's a mom. and she was down there. and i asked her whether she thought that there would be violence later in the evening once that decision had been returned by the grand jury, and she said, she thought there would, because a lot of people in this area had nothing to lose. they felt that they wanted to continue the cause, they wanted their message to be out there on a national and an international platform. and so the sense i got from talking to several people, there were other younger people there who were from the area, was that these were people who just felt so strongly, and that they didn't necessarily support the idea of things turning violent, but that they would do whatever they could to make their voice heard. another person said to me that if there was no violence back in the summer, no one would have even cast a spotlight on ferguson. no one would even be talking about ferguson in the way that we are now. so this time i do get the impression that many of the protesters were actually locals. >> has there been any change, any development perhaps in the policing style since august when michael brown was shot? when you look at for example the representation of blacks in the police force there, tiny compared to the number of white officers. also the way that the police respond in terms of the equipment they're using. have there been any noticeable changes since august? >> reporter: well, i haven't been right in the thick of it during perhaps the ugliest moments this evening, but certainly this might be interesting to share with our viewers. at the end of last week, i was at a press conference with the mayor of st. louis, who had been talking about how officials here in st. louis have been meeting with some of the main protest groups on a number of occasions to try and talk about ways that the police could do their job and the protesters could make their voice heard without coming into some of the clashes that we saw through the course of the summer. and to that end, the police and protesters issued rules of engagement. it was a list of 19 demands that protesters had. for example, making sure that police upheld their constitutional rights. making sure that police didn't wear riot gear to intimidate protesters. that kind of thing. and actually the police agreed to most of those demands. although one demand that the protesters had was not upheld in particular, and that was the demand that police do not use tear gas and do not fire rubber bullets. and in response to that, police said that they would use whatever means necessary to ensure that they keep the peace. but i suppose the point of mentioning that is that there really was a will from both sides to try and avoid the kind of scenes that we've seen this evening, and it is telling that the police in that press conference that they gave earlier said that they really felt that there weren't that many peaceful protesters in the crowd this evening, and that the majority of the people that they saw this evening were, in fact, extremely violent. let's bring you some breaking news. reports coming in from nigeria that two female suicide bombers have attacked there, killing between 5 and 30 people. reuters originally was saying five people killed, but 30 people on the ground. associated press now saying that 30 people have been killed. the ongoing violence in nigeria. this in the northeast of the country. boko haram, of course, still holding, it's believed, those school children, those schoolgirls from the taking over of that school in the summer. this report, though, saying that two explosions by two suspected female suicide bombers, killing up to 30 people. let's return, though, to the eruption of violence overnight in missouri, and the town of ferguson in particular following the decision by the grand jury there not to charge, not to indict the white police officer darren wilson for the shooting of michael brown, the unarmed 18-year-old black teenager. our correspondent is also in ferguson. he described the furious scenes he had witnessed following the announcement of that decision. >> reporter: things are incredibly tense here outside ferguson police station. you can see the police there in their riot gear. that's because some shots have just been fired. this is where a lot of protesters and activists gathered to hear that announcement. the crowd is silent around here as they listen to the announcement on a car radio. when they heard there was no indictment for the police officer who killed michael brown, it was chaos for a while, and then they did settle into a peaceful protest, and one of the protesters here is with me, charles miller. charles, explain your reaction to with a you've heard, that there is going to be no indictment for the police officer. >> i think a lot of people are upset. i'm particularly very upset about it. you can't just go shoot an 18-year-old who's unarmed on the street, despite what the story may have been, he is unarmed and you are an armed law enforcement officer who's been trained in combat. i think people are rightfully upset and it's becoming somewhat ridiculous the way it's been dragged out. they would tell us at 4:00, then 6:00, then 8:00, then 8:15. it's been a long show with a very poor result. >> what do the coming days bring? that's what a lot of people are talking about. >> i think the next few days are going to be similar to this. i think they'll be peaceful for the most part. there's a few bad eggs in the crowd, but that's just unfortunate. that happens with everything. the next few days will probably be like this, because it's a grieving period. i think after that is when we have an opportunity to really grow and change a lot of things and make sure his death didn't mean nothing. >> reporter: thank you very much. a lot of activists like that one say that in spite of that announcement, they are going to keep up the fight, because they say a discussion has begun on discrimination. they're going to do whatever it takes to keep that discussion alive. >> much more on the developing situation in
