Vladimir duthier is in ferguson where at least two people were wounded in shootings last night as well. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Nearly three hours before the curfew was set to begin last night, violence once again erupted here in ferguson, missouri. We were on the streets as the area became engulfed with rubber bullets, teargas, shoek bombs on streets packed with police and nearly 700 protesters. Chaos once again filled the streets of ferguson late sunday night as Police Officers in riot gear fired teargas into crowds of protesters. The demonstrators stood their ground. Many were peaceful. Dont shoot hands up, dont shoot reporter others built makeshift barricades and threw debris from looted shops nearby. Molotov cocktails were thrown. There were shooting, looting, vandalism, and other acts of violence that clearly appear not to have been spontaneous, but premeditated criminal acts. Reporter Law Enforcement officials report the riots began shortly after multiple shootings occurred around 8 00 p. M. Heightening Police Presence as the crowds grew. I had no alternative but to elevate the level of our response. Reporter just hours before the riot broke out captain ron johnson spoke at a ferguson rally for Michael Brown pledging solidarity with the community. You are my family. You are my friends. I am you. Reporter people here are growing increasingly frustrated with the investigation into browns death. Late sunday night the New York Times revealed details of a preliminary autopsy performed on Michael Brown. It found he was shot at least six times, including twice in the head. The final shot hit the top of his head suggesting he was bent forward. The report said brown did not appear to have been shot from very close range. No gunpowder was found on his body. Adding to the rift, backlash over the Police Departments decision to release Surveillance Video of brown stealing a box of cigars minutes before the fatal shooting. On face the nation Governor Nixon condemned the release of the video. We didnt have any knowledge of that. It had an incendiary effect. Reporter we are understanding there will be a press Conference Today with the brown family, their attorneys, and dr. Michael bodden, the medical examiner they hired for the independent examination. Thank you so much. The fbi investigation of the death will include a third autopsiment a Spokesman Says the exam will happen as soon as possible. Bob orr is in washington where they say they have to step in because of the circumstances of the case. Bob, good morning. Reporter good morning. Concerns about violence and loss of public trust pushed the Justice Department to take a muscular role. Sources say federal officials are frustrated believing local Missouri Police mishandled the case. Now there is a full court press by the feds for the kind of dispassionate, factbased investigation that can produce a credible outcome accepted by all. Attorney general eric holder has ordered a u. S. Medical examiner to do an independent federal autopsy on brown to corroborate or refute the states findings. This follows the federal local spat over the surveillance tape which seemed to show Michael Brown robbing a Convenience Store just before he was killed. They said they released the tape to provide media the information they requested. But they argued releasing the tape which is evidence could inflame protesters and bias the investigation. Its important to remember missouri officials remain in charge of the primary case. Prosecutors there will decide whether or not to charge the Police Officer who shot and killed brown. But the Justice Department is also pushing a separate civil rights investigation, exam penning the incident, the response and the Police Departments history with the ferguson community. Right now dozens of fbi agents are still on the streets there conducting interviews and reviewing all of the evidence. Thank you, bob. In our next half hour former prosecutor and defense lawyer ricky cleman will look at the question of who s in charge of the case and what it means. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Iraqs army is claiming a major breakthrough against isis.

Charlie dagata from erbil on how american air power is playing a crucial role in the battle. Reporter good morning. Kurdish soldiers launched another attack toward the dam before dawn. They have taken over parts of the dam. Isis land mines and booby traps are slowing progress. Kurdish peshmerga fighters have the mosul dam and victory in site. Backup came from u. S. Air power. U. S. Military officials said drones, fighter jets and bombers conducted almost two dozen air strikes over two days. It may be one of the biggest defeats for isis militants since the offensive began. Its not the only one. Peshmerga soldiers took us to their new front line near the capit capitol. Lieutenant general ali led forces in a counter attack against better armed isis fighters. They tried. If they controlled this mountain, they could hit erbil. Reporter they could hit erbil from here. Yeah. Reporter this is as close as they advanced to erbil. Kurdish forces took two hours to push them back. This place is still under mortar attack. Get down reporter the first mortar blew up in front of the combat outpost. Two more exploded just behind. Isis fighters were zeroing in, sending a clear message, we are still here. Nearby, just a week ago the town on the outskirts of oh erbil was empty aside from isis militants who had taken it over. Now some of the residents have begun to return. The scars of the battle that took place here remain. So does isis, not far away. Kurdish forces told us the offensive against isis wont stop at the dam. They tend to win back territory lost to isis, relying heavily on u. S. Air strikes. For cbs this morning, im Charlie Dagata in erbil, northern iraq. With the fighting heating up in iraq and the violence are worsening in missouri, president obama is back at the white house this morning. He arrived with his oldest daughter malia overnight. The president interrupted his vacation on Marthas Vineyard after taking criticism for taking time off during a series of crises. Major investigator is at the white house. Do we know what the president will do in two days of meetings . Indeed. Three big issues will confront the president during meetings at the white house. On iraq, the president will confer with the National Security team. The Big Development there, the white house expects great britain, australia, and canada to join the u. S. Military effort to defeat Islamic State forces in northern iraq. The precise nature of the military contribution, those military contributions from those countries is unclear. Air support, armed shipments to the kurds and intelligence are options. The white house informed congress yesterday with a letter saying it was expanding the u. S. Military mission to help Kurdish Forces retake the mosul dam. Sabotage could justify the expansion of the original military mission. President obama will meet with eric hold er to talk about potential civil Rights Violations in the shooting death of Michael Brown and the state and local response at the police level to protest and sporadic instances of looting. On immigration the president will discuss future actions at the level to legalize those who entered the country illegally. Announcements expected early in september or at the end of this month.

There is a risk in west africa where the disease is too much for the government to handle. We are tracking violence and fears surrounding the spread. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The Ebola Outbreak in west africa is spiralling out of control, according to Health Officials who are warning. This is largely due to dysfunctional Health Care Systems and rampant fear. The fear and mistrust took a violent turn in liberias capital. An angry crowd raided an ebola isolation ward in the citys largest slum. They shouted that ebola didnt exist and was a hoax to get money. The mob looteded the clinic, removing contaminated medical items and soiled beddings. Over 20 patients infected with the virus fled the Treatment Center and disappeared into the crowded city. Health officials are terrified the infection could now spread across the entire area. Treatment centers are filling up faster than they can be provided. Doctors without borders is building two new isolation units but the emergency coordinator says it will not be enough. At this stage the outbreak is totally out of controlment we need to come up with other strategies to cope with the situation. Reporter the situation on the ground is desperate. Already the death toll is well over oh1,000. The number of cases nearly 2,000 as International Organizations scale up their response.

Kenya, a central hub to much of west africa has banned flights to all affected areas. Pope francis is headed back to the vatican. He wrapped up a busy fiveday visit to south korea including meeting with local religious leaders. Seth doan is in seoul. Reporter good morning. The pope was said to be in good spirits throughout the trip. The vatican says the main purpose was pastoral but what emerged was more political in nature due to south koreas strategic location. Pope francis entered seouls ka the dral to lead a mass focused on forgiveness and reconciliation. He acknowledged the suffering on his way to the altar the, stopping to greet seven elderly socalled comfort women forced into sexual slavery by japanese soldiers during world war ii. Speaking to a congregation which included south koreas president and north korean defectors, the pope urged resolving the differences between north and south. Reject a mindset shaped by suspicion and competition, he said. Perhaps the biggest headline of the trip came sunday during his speech and comments to bishops. The pope pushed for dialogue with countries across asia that didnt have diplomatic ties with the vatican. Most notably china, a country of 1. 3 billion with an estimated 12 million catholics. At least half of them worship in underground churches. The official Chinese Catholic Church is overseen by the communist party, not the vatican. In what was seen as an effort to allay fears in china, the pope said the church would not come as conquerers but rather as brothers. Flying over china today the pope dispatched another telegram to chinas president extending his best wishesment significant because when Pope John Paul ii requested to fly through chinese air space, beijing denied the request.
