Just a moment. Also though today for the First Time Since last weeks riots, the Shopping Mall has reopened its doors to customers. The employees that depend on it for their livelihood. This was the mall where those rioters smashed glass and looted stores. Baltimores mayor says the open mall gives her hope that her city is beginning to heal. This is just a great day for this community to have the mall reopen. Its a wonderful day. I was proud to support the investments that i think it was the Baltimore Development corporation made into this mall to do the major renovations and to see it bounce back so quickly just gives me a lot of optimism. Cnns nick valencia and sara sidner are with me both in baltimore, theyve both been talking to people who spent their day at this rally. Nick let me go to you first. What are people telling you . Youve been here marching with people in the street yesterday at the rally. Today was very different. Reporter today was such a different tone here poppy. It was really about bringing people together from the Faithbased Community and those that dont necessarily identify with being religious whatsoever. You can see here, if you notice sort of the crowd around me has thinned out largely gone their own way but what happened here today was special. Special because it brought together people from all walks of life. People that wouldnt normally spend a sunday afternoon together. We spoke with families all walks of life, all socioeconomic classes that felt like it was important to be out here today to continue the conversation about baltimore. They talked about returning to normal then there was this sort of moment where there was an understanding among those hosting this rally that baltimore may never be the same after this and that might not be a bad thing. Lots of conversations of healing happening here. Conversations, Uncomfortable Conversations being had here among those that attended this service. One of the points of contention here poppy, is the presence of the National Guard. That imagery here. And, yes we did hear the governor announce that the National Guard troops would begin to wind down as he put it. In a press conference earlier. But they didnt give a specific timetable as to when that would happen. He spoke a lot about it more in detail at a press conference earlier today. Where weve already started to withdraw the guard. The trucks are pulling out this morning. Its going to take a little bit of a while. We brought in 4,000 people this week to keep the city safe. Brought in 1,000 extra Police Officers 3,000 members of the guard and 3,000 volunteers to help clean things up. Its not going to happen instantaneously. Its going to take a couple days to get everybody out. We had to build an entire city to save the city. Reporter this is the first day that baltimore has not had a curfew in recent memory which is very exciting for the residents here. Its a step in the right direction, they say. And they hope those steps continue to go in the right direction. Poppy . All right, nick, thank you so much. I want to go now to my colleague, sara sidner. You and i were out on the corner of north and penn last night as the curfew hit, and some people refused to abide by it. We saw some arrests. Were now learning 46 arrests last night. Whats the expectation tonight now that the curfew has been lifted . Reporter look the expectation is you wont have as many people out in numbers and if they are out in numbers, that they will be very similar to what they were like during the block party. Nobody really knows until nightfall, right . Want to show you where we are. This is the same area where we were yesterday, north and pennsylvania. See the cvs that sustained damage and loots inging. Since then in this neighborhood there has been a lot of peaceful protesting most of it peaceful. There were arrests last night because when the curfew came the police warned several times and started taking people in and sometimes forcibly. I want to let you hear from a resident whos from here who lives just down the street from this very intersection. Lisa mills is here with me now. And, you know, we were talking a little bit. She wanted to share what she sees going on in her neighborhood. Can you tell me lisa what youve seen over this past week . What do you think about all that youve seen . Things have changed quite a bit vbt they havent they . Yes, it has. Heres what i want to make clear. A lot of people are misinformed about what this is. This is not about white cops and black people. This is about Police Officers misusing their badges to violate human beings rights. In every state. This is not a black and white thing. Its a cop thing. Its an ego thing. And the people have protested. The mayor, marilyn mosby. They have heard our cry and come to. What we have to do now, we have to relax. We have to let these people work. Weve done our part. We brought it up to everybodys national attention. Now im asking baltimore and all the other states that are supporting this cause to let the people work. Let the states attorney do her job and lets see what the outcome is going to be. Weve already started. We immediately started to clean up because no one wanted the riots and everything. So we want to focus on putting our city back to normal and getting things back to normal. This is going to take time. Its not going to happen overnight. The people have heard our cry. Let them work. Let the legal system do what it needs to do to make this right. Reporter lisa, thank you so much for speaking to us. Youre welcome. Reporter youre hearing someone whos lived here how long have you lived here . Ive lived in maryland for over 30 years. Im a real bmorian. Reporter i know they say balmore in this neighborhood. 30 years here. She knows the city well. Shes also asking that people like she said let the work get done and let the cleanup get done in the neighborhood. A lot of folks used to use the cvs pharmacy and some of the businesses have boards on them. Theyre no longer in use. A lot f folks relied on those. Those who dont have transportation. People are hoping they can rebuild now and that the protesters will respect that that they can protest a lot of folks here say you can go out and protest, but please just keep it peaceful. Poppy . Yeah, splut ly absolutely. Sara sidner thanks. Food to good to hear from her. Appreciate it. Baltimore looks and feels like a totally different city than it did a week ago. This is our city and were taking it back anger isnt taking it back. Thats right. Gods people are taking the city back. Well that was bishop nunez at last nights demonstration. Just 30 minutes before the curfew went into effect. He joins me now. Thank you for being with me sir. Appreciate it. Thanks for having any. What do you make of what youve seen today . Aisleim excited. Im excited impartially. Im excited because attitudes have changed, because people are trusting and are on the system and allowing the system to run its course. Im happy because theres not going to be any rioting. Im hoping that people are orderly. You can protest, but keep the peace. So that piece of it im excited and happy about. Now, the long term is theres a lot of work to be done. Thats the thing, right . The people in the streets here have been for the large part the people who have been protesting peacefully theyve been protesting for a lot more than just a decision to be made about these officers. Theyve been protesting for opportunity. Right. For communication. For better relationship with the police to police them. Look thats incumbent on both sides. Thats not just up to the police to make change. Its up to both. Yes. How do you as a faith leader help facilitate that . Well, i believe we play a very key role in that. You have to understand that these people that are rioting are broken people. Are hurting people. Are people that have been rejected. And so theyve lost all hope. Theyve lost they dont dream anymore. They dont have any expectation. And so finally, in frustration, they lash out. Whats interesting, i was in philadelphia on thursday night and those protests covering that and half the people who were there were people who told me this isnt directly impacting me im hear for the people that it is impacting. Standing side by side with them. Exactly. Youre going to see that all over the country. We are in a situation, a critical situation. I think last night, seattle exploded with some people protesting and were looking at washington. All over the country. This is an epidemic. This is we have multitude of young people that are rising up that have lost all hope in our society. The job of the church is to go out there and keep loving people in spite of the fact that they may not receive. I say this all the time. You can have all the Government Programs you want you an have all the money you want, you can try to help me as much as you want to but im hurt. I dont believe you. I dont trust you. It takes a dynamic, it takes time of you loving me in spite of the fact that i hate you. There that barrier is broken then i can receive from you. Thank you so much. Nice to have withdrew onyou on the program. You take care of yourself. Coming up we have new details on how the Police Task Force tried to recreate what happened to freddie gray to learn from it and also how that led to the arrest of these six officers. Well bring you that next. Why do we do it . Why do we spend every waking moment, thinking about people . Why are we so committed to keeping you connected . Why combine performance with a conscience .

Todays the day to ask about levemir® flextouch®. Covered by most Health Insurance and medicare plans. Those six officers arrested in the death of freddie gray are out on bail. What is the next step legally . Where does this go after these charges have been brought . Lets turn to my panel, former fbi assistant director, cnn Law Enforcement analyst, tom fuentes, and joey jackson and former Maryland State Police officer Neil Franklin. Also formerly with the Baltimore Police force, full disclosure for our viewers, neil frank lip was fired from the Baltimore Police form in 2004. Thank you all for being here. I appreciate it all very much. Joey joey let me begin with you, as the lawyer in the group, people heard, okay, the states attorney charged them. They dont know necessarily. This is going to go to a grand jury. Right. Heres the way the process works. Now, clearly, poppy, the significance of charging can not be overstated. Its an important step in charging because based upon the independent investigation that the state attorney did, she found based upon what she and her people did that there was probable cause. Now, what does that mean . It really means that from their perspective, theres enough evidence to bring forward charges. Ultimately that lies in a panel of people. Generally 23 members, they sit on a grand jury and those grand jurors make the decision twofold, a, is there reasonable belief that a crime occurred . And b, that these officers committed that crime . And so what the prosecuting attorney will do poppy, is theyll present evidence before that body of grand jurors and theyll either return a true bill meaning theres an indictment or theyll return a no true bill but the District Attorney the county attorney will give them a series of charges to decide from and once indicted if indicted the process will begin. And only if indicted will the process begin. Joey thank you for that. I want to bring our viewers this sound because earlier today cnn spoke with Baltimore Sun reporter Justin George who got really rare access into this police investigation. Listen to what he said. Even though the task force was pretty confident that the injuries to freddie gray took place in the van, they wanted to exhaust every sort of possibility that it may have happened at another time. May have happened during the arrest or at some other point during the wagon route. And in that case they actually were demonstrating the leg lace maneuver that freddie gray was put in right when he was arrested. And what they did was tried to simulate that and then also apply pressure different points of pressure and had this orthopedic doctor look and see if that could cause some of the injuries that freddie gray sustained, and the doctors prognosis, essentially what he said it was impossible for him to sustain the injuries from that leg lace even if they were standing on him or slamming him or sticking their knees near his back. So whats really interesting about this to give you some context here is that the Baltimore Police department allowed this local reporter in to see how they were conducting the investigation. My colleague, Fredricka Whitfield asked a reporter why do you think they let you do that . Frankly, they want to show the public that theyre being as transparent as possible. What do you make of the fact that they say, this reporter says the police force was shocked to see these charges brought because they themselves had not finished their own internal investigation . Well i understand that there were two investigations going on at the same time. The police force was doing their investigation and the States Attorneys Office was doing their investigation. And the most important investigation here is that being done by the States Attorneys Office unfortunately because shes the one whos placing charges. There was no rush to judgment here. Were hearing this all the time. There was no judgment. That comes in the court of law when they have their day in court. This happens during any normal criminal investigation where charges with placed once theres probable cause for an arrest. She thought she had the probable cause, she had the charges placed. Theres no rush to judgment. Yeah sometimes you have this happen. You have two separate investigations running concurrently. At the point she says they have probable cause, the other one, the police force is saying look ours wasnt even done yet. Well theres something else. There was this leak from the price de Police Department alleged leak that went to the Washington Post regarding the interview of the police of the other passenger in the van. This is very problematic for me. When you have Something Like that coming out of an investigation, how can you trust the investigation, how can the people trust the investigation . Tom fuentes, as a former Police Officer, former assistant director of the fbi, i had sheriff clarke on the program last hour who told me this is a rush to judgment these Police Officers are being thrown under the bus because of what he called you know these angry protesters and rioters and hes saying it is not right and it is too fast. Is bringing charges in, what, about a week and a half is that too fast . I think its about as fast as ive ever seen in 40plus years, so it is fast. Whether its too fast now is going to be something that you know is going to be determined during the prosecutive phase of this case. But on the other hand ive never seen this many resources. I guess going back to the kennedy assassination. Right. This is almost like a warrant mission. Hundreds of officers dozens of attorneys, medical personnel assigned orthopedic surgeons assigned during the investigation along with your reporter who was embedded in there because the Police Know Everything they say is not going to be believed. Right. So this is a very unusual investigation just by sheer resources its unusual. Joey wanted to jump in. Put things in perspective. Customarily as a former prosecutor we would indict people in six days if they were in custody from their arrest and build from there. From a sieve villecivilian perspective, people arrested every day get indicted rather quickly. I wouldnt suggest this is a rush to judgment because you have countervailing forces. What are those . Theres a grand jury to decide whether the charges are warranted. In the event theres an indictment poppy, you have a trial jury that will be empanel empanelled by the prosecutor and defense attorney. Theyll select them. Then of course due process. All this is charges, is notice. Now theres an opportunity to be heard and these officers will have their day in court and the public will get to see transparency, the evidence going in and out every day. If theyre not guilty, a jury will say so. Joey jackson, tom fuentes, Neil Franklin thank you guys very much. Coming up much more of our special coverage from baltimore. But also this news as it develops. An nyu student detained in north korea. What happened . Well take you there live for the details, next.

Nah, ill just let the results do the talking. [crowd booing] well, he can do that. We show our progressive direct rate and the rates of our competitors even if progressive isnt the lowest. It looks like progressive is not the lowest ohhhh when we return well find out whether doug is the father. Wait, what . Well take you back to our continuing live coverage from baltimore in just a moment. First, though i do want to take you to this developing story out of north korea. North korea has detained a u. S. College student, a 21yearold whos reportedly a native of south korea. Recently took classes in new york at nyu. Lets bring in will ripley he joins me from pyongyang right now. And will first of all, tell our viewers sort of how you got to be in pyongyang. They invited you to come there . Reporter right. Ever since our last trip here eight months ago poppy, we kept in touch with the north korean government and have invited us back into the country but we didnt know until we arrived essentially why the government was inviting us back in. Shortly after we landed hereyongyang we were told about this 21yearold permanent citizen of the United States a permanent resident of the United States a south korean citizen. 21yearold wonmoon joo detained on april 22nd the north korean government claims he was trying to cross illegally from china into north korea. South koreans cant come into this country without special permission. State media here is reporting that this 21yearold does acknowledge the severity of the crime he committed. Nyu says its been in touch with his family in the south korean embassy. We do not believe at this point that wonmoon joo the student has been able to speak with his family or parents as of yet. We requested to interview this young man, poppy. We were told our request is being considered right now but as of yet, we have not been given access to him and as you know here on the ground we often dont know what will happen until shortly before it begins. Exactly. Like when you were there eight months ago and all of a sudden you were allowed to interview kenneth bae and others and didnt know that was going to be the case. I understand will you had an exclusive interview with two other detainees in north korea . What can you tell me about that . Reporter yes. The government poppy, was very keen to put these south korean men before our cameras. They accused these men of being spies for the south korean government. A claim that south korea strongly denies. What these two men said was very interesting, fop pypoppy. Both of them a businessman and missionary claim they were working in northern china, an area where north and South Koreans live in the same area often occasionally do business together. These men say they were recruited by south korea to cross into the northern part of the peninsula and try to steal secrets and information and materials from the dprk. Now, again, we cant verify these claims. We simply dont know if theyre accurate but it is certainly was a fascinating insight into the real propaganda war and the espionage war that goes on between the north and the south. Will ripley with cnn. Tension fills the room in this north korean hotel. How are you . Kim kuk gis faith could hang on every word he says. I wasnt tortured or interrogated he says describing his arrest on charges of spying for south korea. I had to gthather information he says because i was told to do so. The former missionary made a full confession claiming he made half a Million Dollars working for south koreas nis, the National Intelligence service. The south korean government denies that youre even a spy. The only way i can prove it is by speaking to you now he says. And north korea never takes innocent people and accuses them of being spies. The north korean government is giving cnn exclusive access to kim and another accused south korean spy choe chun gil. I worked as a spy for the south korean government for three years he says. The stories of these south korean citizens are strikingly similar. Accounts cnn cannot verify. They say they were recruited in northern china, close to the border one of the rare places where north and South Koreans live and sometimes do business together. There are so many people just like me recruited by the south korean nis most of them are working in a third country he says meaning china. Both men insist theyre being treated humanely. Nothing like the United Nations recent report on human rights claiming north korean prisoners are often beaten tortured, executed. The outside world speaks negatively about the human rights issues here but im a living witness to the reality he says. To be clear, this is all coming from you. Youre not being told to say this . No one told me to say this. Has anybody told you what to say . Thats a very absurd question he says im simply expressing myself. Choes eyes swelling with tears reveal fear and uncertainty. Both men await trial and sentencing. Convicted south korean spies face a life of hard labor or worse. How are you feeling right now . Are you afraid . I am he says but im determined to accept my punishment. My last message is for my daughter. I love you. Spies or not, both men must face the hard truth. They may never go home again. These men are not being held in prison right now. Theyre being held in small housing units. They can watch Television Read newspapers. We are asking about the conditions that this permanent resident the United States student, the conditions that hes being held in poppy. We havent gotten an answer yet but well continue working our sources on the ground here to try to find out as much as we can. I know you will will. Hopefully they will give you a chance to speak with that 21yearold nyu student who apparently has been detained there in north korea. Will ripley excellent reporting. Thank you so much. Were going to take a quick break. When we come back violent clashes between police and protesters in telaviv. What sparked this . Whats the situation now on the ground . Well take you there live, next. Ok. This role is about energy. Were looking for a luxury hybrid with the best city fuel economy rating. The lincoln mkz hybrid.

Plus for a limited time competitive owners and lessees get onethousand dollars bonus cash. Last year, bud light built a town called whatever usa. This once in a lifetime town is happening again and all thats standing between you and a chance at woooooo is sharing a fifteen second audition video tell us why you should go using upforwhatever and audition. All right. Well get back to our continuing live coverage from here in baltimore in just a moment. First, though, we want to get you to these images, very disturbing images out of telaviv today. Clashes there and a number of injuries as well between Israeli Police and ethiopian jews. These tensions spiked after video surfaced of an israeli Police Officer striking an israeli soldier who is of ethiopian descent. Our cnn correspondent Oren Liebermann joins us from telaviv. Oren we saw this rally in rabin square and it had been peaceful for hours and then it turned very violent. Why . Reporter at some point during this afternoon and this evening, and remember, this is nine or ten hours of protesting at some point right in the middle there was some sort of spark that launched this from what was for hours a peaceful protest. Protesters shut down some of the main streets if telaviv. Police let it happen. There was restraint on both sides there. Something sparked the violence. Were not sure what it is. Were not sure what that Tipping Point was, but this then became a violent rally in the middle of central telaviv, a city very much not used to seeing this sort of tension, this sort of anger bubbling over in the middle of the streets. We saw windows smashed, we saw cars damaged. Police used dispersal methods, crowd dispersal methods including tear gas, officers on horses water dispersal, a strong water cannon to try to break up the crowd. Even then it wasnt that simple. There were hundreds of people protesting here in rabin square. This quiet that you see behind me a few Police Officers you see behind me this is a far cry from what it was just a few short hours ago when this was full of violent clashes between police and demonstrators here. This all started about a week ago with a video that went viral. That video that you mentioned shows one israeli Police Officer, then another, beating up an ethiopianisraeli soldier in uniform and that in uniform part is part of what this anger is all about. Ethiopians here say theyve been discriminated against for years and this video was the Tipping Point. The boiling point. There were protests on thursday in jerusalem. About 1,000 people there. That ended in some smaller clashes as the crowd got smaller. And that all led up to todays protests. Again, as you mentioned, it started peaceful. It started quietly on the streets of telaviv as protesters blocked off many of the streets during rush hour. But police were happy to say, look as long as this stays peaceful its okay with us. And then it came to rabin square and thats when it became the shocking video that has stunned people here in telaviv with the level of violence that we saw on the streets of telaviv here in rabin square on this evening. The last numbers we had, 23 Police Officers injured. 26 people afsed. So oren do we know what happens tomorrow on this front . What is planned for tomorrow . Reporter so we have some meetings that we know are scheduled. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with the victim in that viral video, the soldier, the young soldier. They will sit down together along with leaders of the israeliooet israeliethiopian community here and authorities, Security Leaders in israel to twin tobegin to understand how to keep this from boiling over again. Its not just that. This is about solving some of the bigger inequalities in Israeli Society here. What ethiopians see as discrimination against them as racism against them. I mentioned it was a soldier in uniform. The army here is the great equalizer. You serve in the army you become part of society. The ethiopians dont see it that way. They serve in the army and say they are still discriminated against as they try to sort of rejoin society or join society on an equal footing. They say that doesnt happen. This will take much more than tomorrows meetings with the Prime Minister to address some of the bigger issues the ethiopians see, what they call for as justice. Absolutely. Oren liebermann on the ground for us. The middle of the night in telaviv as the protests continue. Well keep an eye, monitor them for you, bring us the latest as queue you have it, oren. Thank you, appreciate it. Coming up next well return to our top story in baltimore. The impact all of these riots and protests have had on businesses here. Many small, minorityowned businesses without insurance. What do they do now . How do they move forward . Thats next. When cigarette cravings hit, all i can think about is getting relief. Nicorette mini starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. Anytime. Anywhere. I never know when ill need relief. Thats why i choose nicorette mini. All right. Youre taking a look at what is happening in baltimore right now by city hall. These are im told the marching bands from high schools across baltimores west side. Marching here from the west side downtown and throughout throughout the city of baltimore. Again, a lot of High School Kids in the marching bands. Its going to get pretty loud here as they walk by us. [ drums ] well also police say 113 arrests were injured. Since the violence erupted on the streets of baltimore more than a week ago. 486 arrests we are told have been made since april 23rd. 46 arrests were made last night. But the city wide curfew has been lifted. That was announced just earlier today. That means that people will not be arrested for being on the streets of baltimore after 10 00 p. M. We also have learned the National Guard, those 4,000 men and women from the National Guard who have been here will withdraw over the next 72 hours. A large rally took place outside of city hall this afternoon. The purpose was to promote healing and to try to bring a sense of closure and moving forward during after days of unrest. Also remember those riots on monday night resulted in 200 Small Businesses being completely destroyed. Those businesses now must face the daunting task of rebuilding and reopening. Governor larry hogan today talked about the damage. On monday night, we lost 200 businesses. Most of them were minorityowned businesses. Many of them didnt have insurance. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been lost. People had their homes burned down. Businesses burned down and looted. And then the folks that even didnt get hit on monday night lost business for an entire week. And i talked to a lot of them over the past few days. So a lot of people are impacted in communities throughout the city. Were going to do everything we can to help them. Well those businesses now face the daunting task of rebuilding. So how do you do that and how do you encourage more businesses to come to this city . Ron busby sr. Joins me now, president and ceo of the u. S. Black chambers. Thanks for being with me again, sir. Thanks for being on the program. Thanks for allowing me to be here. I was stunned when i heard the number from the governor this morning, 200 businesses completely destroyed because of what happened monday night. A lot he said are minorityowned businesses and theyre businesses without insurance. Whats your reaction . Unfortunately, that is true. If you look at a city like baltimore where it is primaryily an africanamerican city, most of the businessowners, especially small ones are going to be many that are black owned. Youre going to take an entire city private sector as well as Public Sector to fix this community. Thats why were so excited to be here as a u. S. Black chamber because we feel like its going to be the mom and pop businesses that need to come back as well as large farms. What are you doing . It is your job, incumbent upon you to bring those companies here especially big corporations like the cvs that we saw burned down monday. How do you convince them yes, this is where you want to be after theyve seen whats happened . The great thing about this experience here is that people from the outside have been able to see baltimore for its true colors. And this is a beautiful city. Its a vibrant city with a Beautiful People that love their community. Do you think thats what most people have seen this week . I think the folks that are here are seeing that. On television . What we need to do is make sure baltimore is taken care of by baltimoreans and marylandeans and down the street is washington d. C. We need the cvs, we need large firms that are overseas to reinvest in cities like baltimore so they can bring manufacturing, they can bring unemployment right. To a close as well as we need to make sure the community is supporting the community. As weve stated before there are 1. 9 million africanamericanowned businesses and theres 1. 9 million unemployed africanamericans. If each one of those businesses were able to hire one additional africanamerican we wouldnt have this problem in our country across the country. So the curfew has been lifted. That was announced earlier today. And a lot of i was just at a local starbucks and one of the baristas said to me im so glad that its lifted not that it directly impacted them right, because their business isnt after 10 00 p. M. But talked about her friends that are impact impacted their livelihoods, ability to get a paycheck. Was it the right call to lift the curfew at this point . Most definitely. I think this community now is about rebuilding. I think that theyve gone through so much of the pain. The dollars that were lost yesterday, theyll never be recapped but we can willfuldefinitely focus on whats going to happen tomorrow, whats going to happen in the future. The future starts tonight. The future starts with the curfew being ended. Were expecting the businesses right, when you take away those businesses you harm people in ways that youre not thinking about right at that point in time. Especially for africanamericanowned businesses because we know that black firms hire black people. 40 of africanamericans that are in business have hired someone from their own community or from their family or from someone that looks like them or in similar circumstances. So the Small Business community is very important to baltimore. Ron busby, good to have you on the program. Thank you, sir. Thanks for talking to me during all the noise. Maybe we can show our viewers, again, what youre looking at. This is a big gathering of marching bands from local high schools on the west side of baltimore. That have marched from there here to city hall. Really a very positive celebratory performance that were seeing here on the streets of downtown baltimore and as we said the curfew has been lifted.
