Woodruff state and local officials in ferguson, missouri, appealed today for people to stay home after dark. Its the latest effort to end the nightly unrest since the Police Shooting of a black teenager, Michael Brown. But another police killing, of another black suspect, raised fresh fears of whats to come when the sun goes down. Woodruff by day, the main streets in ferguson were busy with cars, many blowing horns in solidarity with demonstrators who carried signs and banners. Owners of damaged stores offered messages of hope, and some protesters even had congenial conversations with police. Then, a dozen miles away, on the north side of st. Louis, a new incident. Police said they shot and killed a man after he robbed a market, and confronted them with a knife. Police colonel sam dotson. He was acting erratically and his behavior approaching the officers they drew their weapons. They gave verbal commands approached a second officer with the weapon out in a threatening manner with the knife in an overhand posture. I certainly think that is an aggressive stance. Woodruff the incident, on the heels of the killing of Michael Brown, 10 days ago, threatened to inflame tensions anew in ferguson. On monday, Peaceful Demonstrations in the early evening again gave way to late night confrontation as some in the crowd turned violent, throwing firebombs and bottles. Back up now get away from the vehicle woodruff police, including many in gas masks and riot gear, fired flash grenades and tear gas, and even used highpitched sirens to disperse the throng. Officials reported heavy gunfire by some in the crowd, with at least two people wounded. Is this war . Is this world war iii on the woodruff the man in charge of securing ferguson, Missouri StateHighway Patrol captain ron johnson, said some of the dozens arrested came from as far away as new york and california. I am not going to let the criminals, that have come out here from across this country or live in this community, define this neighborhood and define what were going to do make it right. Woodruff later, u. S. Senator claire mccaskill, on m. S. N. B. C. , insisted officials have to find a better way to deal with the troublemakers. We overpoliced for a few days, and then we completely underpoliced. I think what theyre doing now is what they feel they have to do to keep it safe under these dangerous circumstances with these instigators in town. Woodruff so far, authorities have struggled for a solution. Local police were in charge at first. Then, the state Highway Patrol took over. And yesterday, the governor called in the national guard, but kept their role very limited. He had also imposed a latenight curfew, then rescinded it after two days. But so far, nothing has brought a guarantee of calm. Woodruff well return to the unrest in ferguson, how its affecting children, and how its highlighting the National Racial divide, after the news summary. Woodruff the ceasefire between israel and hamas collapsed today in a new burst of fighting. Gaza militants began firing rockets hours before the truce was to expire. As the day went on, sirens sounded in tel aviv and jerusalem, but there were no injuries. Israel responded with escalating air strikes that sent large clouds of smoke rising above the gaza skyline. Palestinian officials reported two killed. Each side blamed the other. Todays rocket attack on the israeli city of beersheba is a grave and direct violation of the ceasefire that hamas committed to. This is the eleventh ceasefire that hamas has either rejected or violated and its clear that a ceasefire has to be a twoway street. The continuation of the israeli air strikes on the gaza strip is an attempt to abort the efforts of the cairo negotiations. We are warning the Israeli Occupation from continuing this escalation and violating the ceasefire, we put the responsibility on israel for this escalation and the implications of it. Woodruff after the rocket fire, the israeli delegation walked out of egyptianled negotiations. Theyre aimed at reaching a longterm ceasefire. Global post in appeared on newshour before being abduct ip syria nearly two years ago. The militants released a video of the execution it was titled a message to america they warned in recent days of retaliation for u. S. Airstrikes in iraq. Government forces in iraq made a brief assault today on Islamic State fighters holding tikrit. The effort, north of baghdad, was halted after a few hours, in the face of stiff resistance by the militants. This, one day after kurdish troops recaptured a vital dam near mosul. John ray of independent Television News filed this report. Reporter here, this Islamic State lies in ruins, their new caliphate shattered, their fighters vanquished their weapons destroyed. They leave behind a legacy of terror. We just want, oh my god, oh my god. Reporter abu yosef and his wife are too scared to show their faces. They know the jihadists barbaric creed. They killed my father. My father is a policeman. Reporter this is the road to the mosul dam. Once a symbol of the militants limitless ambition, today a sign that they can be defeated. The kurdish flag flies here now. But the victory has been paid for in peshmerga blood. The fighting was hard . Yes. It was very, very hard. Reporter they say the men who fought under black banner of god were devious and cunning and they sowed the seeds of further destruction and the booby trapped bombs they left behind. Theyve disarmed hundreds, but the operation is never routine. Success never guaranteed. We welcomed to the dam the triumphant commander of Kurdish Special forces. How are you . Big victory. Reporter general Mansour Barzani told me the Islamic State is finished. But just how far his men will chase their quary is by no means clear. The remorseless rise of the Islamic State has been haunted on this dam. For these peshmerga fighters, its been about protecting their own borders, not about freeing iraq from the jihadists who still control so much of the nation the mosul dam has been retaken more or less in tact because american air power trumped the Islamic States belief in their divine right to rule. Wrecking forces must take up the battle their victory is by no means secure. Woodruff also today, the u. N. Said its launching a major aid operation for those displaced by fighting in northern iraq, starting tomorrow. Local officials in afghanistan report up to 700 taliban fighters are on the offensive just an hour south of kabul. The governor of Logar Province said the fighting is focused on a key district. The taliban claimed major advances. Militant attacks have become larger in scale as nato combat forces and air cover move to withdraw by years end. Ukraines military pressed its offensive today to retake two rebelheld cities near the russian border. Flames engulfed buildings in the besieged city of luhansk and the outskirts of donetsk after shelling attacks. Government troops have been steadily closing in on rebels in both cities. Flashflooding washed out major highways all around the phoenix, arizona area today. Monsoon rain of up to eight inches triggered the deluge. A muddy torrent poured down one section of interstate 17, forcing officials to close a 15 mile stretch and redirect traffic. A number of people had to be rescued from rooftops and submerged cars. Texas governor rick perry headed to an austin courthouse this evening, to be booked on charges of abusing power. An indictment friday accused the republican leader of using a veto threat to coerce a democratic district attorney. Perry is a possible president ial candidate in 2016. He says the case is politically motivated. On wall street, the Dow Jones Industrial average gained nearly 81 points to close at 16,919. The nasdaq rose 19 points to close at 4,527. And the sandp 500 added nearly ten points, to finish at 1,981. Still to come on the newshour how race colors perceptions of whats happening in ferguson; the head of Doctors Without Borders on the Ebola Outbreak in west africa; one region of indonesia turns to sharia law after a devastating tsunami; and, citizen scientists capture images of a newly discovered creature in the wild. Woodruff we turn our focus again to the situation in ferguson, missouri. We start with reporter Yamiche Alcindor from usa today. I spoke with her a short time ago. Thank you for talking with us again. It sounds as if things were calm there in ferguson until this shooting this afternoon over in st. Louis, we just heard from the Police Colonel at that time ton, what is more that you can at about what happened . I just in ii viewed an eyewitness who saw it from start to finish the shooting happened about, about two minutes he said that a many americaned from a veeps store holding donuts and juice and saying he stole this the Police Showed up and screamed to freeze to put to come to them. The man instead pulled out a knife and was waving it at police, at that time that police pulled out their weapons and shot them about ten times, thats what the eyewitness told me. People in that newlywed are so scared. I talked to a woman who lived there for 48 years said, please, i hope what happened in ferguson doesnt happen in my community. Woodruff what is the race of the Police Officers and man who was shot . Eyewitness told me that the officers were white and the young man was african american. That of course was from eyewitness that i interviewed. Im not sure if he put out the race of the officers. Woodruff tell me at this point i know this just happened a short time ago, do you get a sense that people are upset by this . Do they see this connected to what is going on in ferguson or something unrelated . People are really, really upset. As soon as i was driving over to the scene as soon as i parked my car i start hearing people scream snook dont shoot, hands up that has been the rallying cry for people supporting Michael Browns family. People made the connection and instantly talking about Michael Brown at this new shooting scene saying that here is another young black man who is being killed by police. They did of course say that he was waving a knife in front of police and thought, okay, well thats still provoking the police. Police why couldnt they have tased him or shot him in the leg. Shoot them ten times for stealing donuts and juice. Woodruff right. I know one of the reports i heard was that the man was lunging at the police with the knife. Were waiting for more information on that. Before this happened, the authorities were asking people to please protest in the Daylight Hours rather than at night. How are people responding to that in ferguson . Daylight, its still daylight here in ferguson what is going to be important is what happens when night falls. I cant tell what you is going to happen but i get a steps just because ive been here here more than a week that people are not going to go home when the sun sets. People were super angry at that new shooting scene saying that theyre going to voice their opinion, that theyre going to protest this. People said that quick trip has been ground zero for the protesters of Michael Brown they said that were going back and i think that it would not surprise me if we saw people, dozens of people maybe iep hundreds of people at quick trip today but again because its still not sunset here i cant say whats going to happen. Woodruff just quickly, are there voices, leaders in the community who are urging people to step back, to calm down, what are the leading voices saying now . It was very interesting. As soon as the police finished their press conference telling the media and members of the community what happened with this new shooting, antonio frencha politician here in ferguson then talked to the crowd and said, this is were going to be patient in our neighborhood, i promise were going to figure out what happened with this young man, please be patient. He start urging people in the crowd who were screaming dont shoot he said, please, protest if you want to but try to remain patient. Try to remain calm. So as soon as the shooting happened, as soon as police started telling people what happened, the community reacted instantly started telling people, please keep the peace, please dont loot and just go home and try to be as peaceful as you can when youre protesting. Woodruff we will see what happens in the hours to come. Yamiche alcindor with usa today. Thank you for talking with us again. Woodruff daily life has been dramatically disrupted for the citizens of ferguson, and thats especially true for the towns children. Schools have been closed all week. In addition to education, they are the source of meals for many kids in the community. The newshours quinn bowman is there and spoke this afternoon with jana shortt the spokeswoman for the School District. Its been really if you have period for ferguson and surrounding areas, talk to me specifically about how it affects the kids here. Yes. Basic needs of children are being affected by this conflict. Our School District serves we have more than 75 free and reduced lunch. We have students that rely on school for food. And so we wish that if we were in school these things would be receiving meals. Weve taken steps to make sure that they can have access to that food by serving lunches in the coming days. Why have you decided to close the schools in ferguson . Certainly, our decision to close school really reflects the seriousness of the situation. We have concerns about our students safety, getting to school. Roads being closed, access to and from buildings, debris on the streets from these nightly conflicts that are in the area, particularly close to where some of the protests are occurring. You have to imagine that nightly hearing the sound cannons and theyre being kept away and there are family schedules are being disrupted. Its hard for some of them to leave the house, to get food and other things. They should be top of mind for all of us and serving them and helping them get back to normalcy is essential. When the kids come back, what do you expect . Were just so eager to get our students back in the classroom. We think some important conversations are going to happen in our classroom when kids get back to school. But we cant bring them back to school until its safe to do so. Woodruff it turns woodruff it turns out there is a sharp racial divide in the United States when it comes to reactions to the shooting of Michael Brown and the ongoing protests in ferguson. Thats one of the findings revealed in a new survey by the pew research center. To explain, carroll doherty, director of Political Research there, joins us. Out we thank you. Thanks for inviting me. Woodruff your poll done nationally august 1416, done last thursday through sunday you were just telling me. And it shows really some stark findings abut how whites and blacks view the question of whether race is an issue here. Thats the first question. Whether race is an issue or whether its getting too much attention. 80 of African Americans say this case raises important issues about race amuck whites, more divided views but 47 say issue of race has gotten too much attention. Of Stark Division right off the bat. Woodruff you were telling me over the course of the days you were in the field with questions, some of these answers were shifting. Well, certainly the circumstances were shifting, especially came to the questions about the Police Response. Because that changed night by night. The sharpest is just absolutely. 80 of blacks saying raises important questions. Twice as many blacks. Woodruff the next one of the next questions you asked was about Police Response whether the police have gone too far in ferguson or whether their reaction is about right. Again two, to one. 65 of blacks, 33 of whites say the Police Response has gone too far. A huge disparity there. Woodruff and nationally its 40 to 28 but the really stark change there is the difference there is between blacks and whites. And finally, carroll dorehty how much confidence did people have in the investigation of the shooting. The question was do you h
