In news from Ferguson, Missouri, authorities have declared a state of emergency for St. Louis County amid continuing protests marking the first anniversary of Michael Brown’s death and the shooting Sunday of another African-American teenager. Nearly 150 people were arrested Monday as protesters blocked rush-hour traffic on Interstate 70. Authorities also filed charges Monday against 18-year-old African American Tyrone Harris, who was critically injured Sunday night in what police describe as a shootout with officers. Tyrone Harris’ father said his son and Michael Brown were “very close.” The two attended Normandy High School together. During Monday night’s protests, heavily armed men from the militia group the Oath Keepers were also in Ferguson’s streets. The militia largely consists of active and former military members and police officers who claim to uphold the U.S. Constitution.

Meanwhile, St. Louis County has filed charges against two reporters who were arrested last year covering the protests. Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post and Ryan Reilly of The Huffington Post were charged Monday with trespassing and interfering with a police officer after officers alleged they did not leave a McDonald’s fast enough during an incident one year ago. We’ll have more from Ferguson later in the broadcast.

A Nigerian migrant spoke out on why he was forced to migrate to Europe.

Nigerian migrant: “I left Nigeria because of the crisis of Boko Haram. People, everybody knows about Boko Haram and their preys. I lost my family. My house was burning to ashes. So that is the reason that makes me ship to Libya. From Libya. I decided to ship to Italy.”

This morning, the company restarted one of the reactors at the Sendai plant in southwest Japan, as people protested outside. Thousands of people marched Monday in opposition of the plant’s reopening. The restart comes just days after the 70th anniversary of the U.S. nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on April 6 and April 9, 1945.

The Iraqi Parliament passed a sweeping anti-corruption package this morning in response to popular demonstrations that have swept the country in recent weeks.

In Germany, federal prosecutors have dropped the treason investigation against two bloggers who reported on plans to expand online surveillance.

The Justice Department has filed documents opposing a federal judge’s ruling that women and children being held at family detention centers be released. In late July, U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee condemned the mass detention as “deplorable” and ruled it was in violation of previous court decisions. The ruling gave the Obama administration 90 days to either release the more than 2,000 women and children being held in two Texas facilities or to show just cause to continue holding them. The Justice Department filed documents Thursday saying that changes have been made at the facilities that Gee’s ruling applies to practices no longer in place. Meanwhile, five mothers and their children have filed a $10 million complaint against the Department of Homeland Security, arguing they suffered abuse, neglect and trauma in family detention centers.

In news from the campaign trail, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has spoken out against Republican candidate Donald Trump’s comments that Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly was asking him tough questions because she was menstruating.

Hillary Clinton: “And while what Donald Trump said about Megyn Kelly is outrageous, what the rest of the Republicans are saying about all women is also outrageous. They brag about slashing women’s healthcare funding. They say they would force women who have been raped to carry their rapist’s child. And we don’t hear any of them supporting raising the minimum wage, paid leave for new parents, access to quality child care, equal pay for women or anything else that will help to give women a chance to get ahead.”

Clinton has also proposed a $350 billion plan to allow students to attend public universities without taking out tuition loans. The plan echoes calls made by her challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Meanwhile, Sanders has received his first national labor endorsement from National Nurses United as he continues to turn out record crowds. Twenty-eight thousand people attended his event in Portland, Oregon, Sunday. Meanwhile, fellow Democratic candidate and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley is criticizing the Democratic National Committee for limiting the number of presidential debates to six.

And Amalgamated Bank has become the first bank in the country to establish a $15 minimum wage for its workers. Amalgamated is the nation’s largest union-owned bank. CEO Keith Mestrich encouraged other banks to join the fight for 15, telling CBS, “We didn’t make $5 billion last quarter like Bank of America did. But we are a profitable industry, and … if there is any industry that can join this call, it’s the banking industry.”
