>> i know i did my job right. >> protesters fought with police in california. our demonstrations in 170 cities, including new york and washington. many people suspect racism in the decision not to indict wilson and see the michael brown case as proof that police violence and discrimination are tolerated against african-americans. >> as america awaits a third night of protest, let's bring in james klein live from ferguson. it was relatively calm last night, what is the situation now and what can we expect in the hours ahead? >> right now in ferguson, we are learning the identity of a body discovered on the morning of monday -- a 20-year-old african-american who worked in walmart was found dead. at the time, there was no information about this. the individual has been identified. he is a graduate of the local high school and has just been identified. a scuffle at the city hall in downtown st. louis, protesters tried to gain access to city hall. police officers have arrested three individuals who have tried to gain access in the city hall area and that is what we have so far. in ferguson, the cleanup operation still continues by business owners and residents. they have had two nights of rest in the city and we expect tonight there will be a repeat in front of the police department where protesters will show up again to demonstrate and the expectation is there will probably be a repeat of at least what we saw last night. >> there have been protests and scores of other u.s. cities. is this only about ferguson at this point? >> no. this is endemic of a larger problem across the nation. police shootings are something that happened coast-to-coast across america and ferguson brings a bright, shining light on to this very dark part of american society. >> thank you so much. >> in other news, germany's government wants to prevent islamist fighters from leaving the country to join foreign wars like the one in syria. >> a new draft law calls for potential jihadist passports and identity cards to be taken away and replaced with a special document. this special document would fulfill their legal requirement but would not entitle them to leave the country. the regular identity documents could be held by officials for up to 18 months. >> our chief medical correspondent has been following this story. who would have this power to strip these people of their identity documents? >> the police and local passport offices in germany's federal states. they have the details and are in close cooperation with one another. if the police had information a certain person was likely to be leaving the country, perhaps through intelligence regarding travel plans in order to fight with iso or other islamist extremist forces, it would communicate that to the passport office and they would ensure the identity papers were revoked. >> is this even lawful? it sounds like it could be a very a sick infringement of liberties. >> it is, but on the other hand, the ability to revoke the passport also can be exercised. if you don't pay your taxes, certainly it is a measure that is foreseen in circumstances where there is a real danger of abuse of the law. the problem is would it he effective? would it only be able to be used in a minority of cases with potential jihadist mark many would still probably find ways to leave the country. there are a few loopholes that need some work. >> thank you very much. >> let's go to pakistan now where for polio vaccination workers have been killed and apparent drive-by shootings. >> the three dead health workers were women. the fourth was there male driver. no group has claimed responsibility for the killing as of yet but tell a man militants have often talked about polio teams in the past. >> they were killed trying to save lives. the polio workers were gunned down as they set out to administer vaccinations in western pakistan. visiting the scene, the regional interior minister described the shooting. >> this morning, terrorists on motorbikes opened fire on the polio workers vehicle. as a result, for workers were killed and three others were wounded. although the attack succeeded, we are hopeful our law enforcement agency will be able to bring the perpetrators to justice. >> this is the latest in a series of attacks on polio workers in afghanistan. there was no immediate claim of responsibility, but taliban militants have claimed in the past that holier teams are spies of the west or the vaccine causes infertility. the attack was the most deadly to be carried out in pakistan for at least two years stop >> polio has not been eradicated, why is this cruelty being inflicted upon us? >> olio is a highly contagious disease that can kill or crippled children in hours. vaccination campaigns have wiped it out in most of the world but in pakistan, the disease continues to spread. >> in hong kong, please almost the nation clearing a cap in the district. >> hundreds of demonstrators returned to the streets in the evening in anger. many key student leaders were arrested and scuffles with police followed. two other protest camps remain in place. the demonstrations were sparked by plans to screen candidates for hong kong's elections in 2017. >> we will be right back after a short break. we will go to syria where christian militias are now forming. next we are back in a minute. >> with each passing day of the continuing conflict in syria, more and more children hear their future may be fading away. with every classroom damaged or destroyed, every family fleeing the violence, we cannot risk losing an entire generation of children to death, fear and despair because they are the future of syria. >> welcome back. the mideast peace process has not made much progress in recent years but now, some europeans have been discussing unilateral recognition of a palestinian state. >> supporters of the ideas see it as a way to end the critic say the move would only inflame the situation. >> the parliament is debating recognition and they are expected to vote on a resolution this week. >> but now the vote has been delayed until december to allow more time for deliberation. >> november, 2012, palestinians in the west bank celebrated after the un's general assembly voted to admit ella stein as a nonmember observer state. -- palestine as a nonmember state. it was a move toward their long quest for statehood. under it, palestine encompasses the gaza strip, the west bank and east jerusalem. european union has refused to recognize those orders, saying they should be determined by negotiations between israel and the palestinians. but individual member states do recognize palestinian statehood. sweden became the most recent member to do so last month. several other members do also like poland and romania and hungary. but their recognition came before they joined the block. the parliaments of spain, ireland and britain have given their support to a palestinian state, but the votes were purely symbolic as their governments have chosen not to act. press -- france, belgium and tortured will have indicated their support for statehood and that has raised pressure on germany. because of its nazi history, relations with israel are especially delicate. chancellor angela merkel has rejected recognition of palestine. the same applies to the united states. they say that absence of a peace deal with israel could do more harm than good. >> we are joined now by a member of the german social democratic party and a member of the european parliament. welcome to the program. are you planning to support the move in the european parliament to recognize an independent palestine? >> i need some more time to discuss with my friends for example. i'm happy we have four weeks more time before we have to take the decision. >> why is this vote coming now? >> it is coming right now after a long time of discussions, within the parliament, within our political group, and the majority of socialist here feel it is necessary to do this step to make very clear that we want to have a two state solution and we want to have progress in its he's protests. >> with this vote undermine europe and germany's special standing with the state of israel? >> we need the four weeks to discuss it. it is a question of the wording. it will not undermine this position. it is the position of the european parliament, if he is a majority of that, i guess. it might not be the same decision the german government is doing. >> if there is a positive vote, do you think that would go some way to help europe solve problems in the arab world? >> i would not go so far. it could be a step in this direction. to a two state solution with no real result, it might be other countries regarded that and we will see what the outcome is. >> thank you. next, we had to northern syria where that countries air force has tom to what is believed to be the nurse center of the islamic state, long a bastion of the militant group. >> at least 95 people were killed in the assault, half of them are thought to be militants. it was the first major city to defeat government troops and introduce sharia law. >> islamic state has destroyed ancient churches and killed christians, but now the christians in the area are fighting back, creating a local militia that are deploying on the front lines to protect their families and communities. >> and they are getting recruits from europe. >> a peaceful sunday morning. a small city in the kurdish north of syria. one in or resident here is christian, more than in any other part of the country. the city has been largely untouched i wore. that is why this churches so full. many christians have fled here. >> islamic state has burned down our churches and told us we should run away or they would kill us all stop i came here with my sons. >> islamic state claims to operate in the name of islam, but this is not islam. our people know islam and this has nothing to do with it. islam does not come with a sword. it is about mercy and love. they are in human. >> the city is quiet and mostly safe. a few kilometers to the west, things look very different. the fighter translates the slogans under islamic state control, it says. christians have been organizing a militia for quite some time and have been fighting alongside the kurds. together, they have pushed i asked -- they have pushed islamic state back a few kilometers all stop he came back to his family's former homeland in 2012. he is an assyrian as christians your call themselves. he served in the swiss military for five years and now is in northern syria training a christian militia for the fight. in the ruins of a recaptured building, graffiti says next time we will kill you. >> a clear warning to the assyrian and kurdish people to run away. >> are they serious, they will kill you all? >> yes. that is clear. >> before the civil war started, 600,000 christians lived in the area. since then, half have emigrated. he could go to live with relatives in germany, but nothing has happened directly. her husband says he will take up arms to protect his family if islamic state advances. she hopes they can stop them from coming at all. >> above all, i fear for my children, my son and my daughter. god's will will be done. if i die here, who's to say i would not have died elsewhere? islamic state is in germany and america. they are everywhere. >> he islamists have expelled christians and kurds from a neighboring village where they blew up a small church. the ruin is now a military out post. he sees that as symbolic of determination of the christians to fight act. >> we believe, we are sure that as long as one of us is here to fight with a cause, we will have a future. >> in northern syria, the christians must fight to survive. >> here in germany, parliamentarians have been debating next year's legit and the government has a big role -- no new debt for the first time since the end of the 1960's. ask but what about new investments?
