Ukraine says refugee convoy hit by pro-Russia rebels

Ukraine says a number of refugees were killed in a rocket and mortar attack on a moving convoy, which was making its way from the Luhansk area of eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine pointed the finger at pro-Russian rebels, but they denied the attack- although reports say there was heavy gunfire in the area.

Ukraine forces have moved closer to the rebel-held town, where supplies are running out.

Meanwhile, a Russian aid convoy headed for eastern Ukraine- which has been blocked from crossing the border into eastern Ukraine, by Kiev- remains at a standstill.

US State department spokesperson Marie Harf, said an agreement exists to inspect the convoy.

The Governor of Missouri is now deploying the US National Guard in a bid to restore piece in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, after days of protests.

Independent autopsy reveals Michael Brown shot 6 times

An independent autopsy has revealed that black teenager Michael Brown, killed by police in the US state of Missouri, was shot at least six times.

 

Representatives for Michael Brown's family say their independent autopsy supports witness accounts of multiple shot wounds - some of which were acquired while Mr. Brown's back was to police.

 

The 18 year old took two shots to the head, and others to the right arm.

Iraq: US Confirms Air Strikes Near Mosul Dam

The United States on Saturday launched several more air strikes in Iraq at Islamic State rebels, including 9 targeting ISIS militants positioned around the country’s largest dam, near Erbil.

The Islamic State captured the Mosul Dam ten days ago, so U.S. airpower is now pointed in that direction to aid Kurdish troops on the ground. 

Officials worry that the large damn could be used as a weapon of mass destruction in the hands of ISIS. If they were to detonate the structure, it could release a wave of water 60 feet high through the city of Mosul and could flood Baghdad down river.

 

Speaking to America's ABC News, Colonel Steve Ganyard said Obama is focused on helping from the air, while Iraqi's lead the fight on the ground.

Missouri police tear-gas protesters amid Ferguson curfew

A five hour curfew is over in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, after a standoff between police and protestors there led to one person being shot and several more arrested. Heavily armed police fired smoke bombs and tear gas to disperse the crowd who gathered to protest the recent shooting of black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer.

Police responded to the scene of a reported disturbance about 30 minutes after that curfew went into effect Saturday night. They say they used force to disperse the crowd upon learning that one of the protestors was armed. 

Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson defended the police's military-style tactics in the tense standoff between officiers and protestors.
