Leading to a serious discussion about race. Good morning, im alisyns could kosik in for christi paul. Were starting with the threat of terror attacks on u. S. Soil. The Security Threat level at u. S. Military basis is at bravo. That means an increase in predictable threat of terrorism. The pentagon raised security conditions after growing concern over jihadist threats. Lets bring in cnn National Correspondent sunlen serfaty. Sun len sunlen . Why raise the threat level if theres no imminent or specific threat . U. S. Officials say there were a number of recent concerns that when all pulled together contributed to making this decision do increase the threat level. One u. S. Official telling cnn that it just felt like the temperature was going up. With concern growing over isisinspired attacks being carried out inside the u. S. The pentagon has put all u. S. Military bases nationwide on heightened alert. The threat level now raised to bravo. Due do an increased and predictable threat of terrorism according to the pentagon. The concern, isis could target uniformed military and Law Enforcement. Security will be beefed up at all military bases, National Guard installations and recruiting stations across the country. Adding according to the militarys order, an element of unpredictability, spry and random measures into the regular security procedures. Former c. I. A. Official phil mudd says its part of a change in who terrorists like isis, target. What theyre saying is there are people in the United States who are responsible for projecting American Power overseas. Because theyre projecting American Power overseas and killing us in places like iraq and yemen, they are legitimate targets. U. S. Officials say the heightened level is not tied to a specific credible threat. But a nrm of number of recent concerns. The shooting in texas this week highlighting the threat from isis supporters and after personal information, names and home addresses of about 100 military personnel were posted online by isisaffiliated accounts last month. Increasingly isis has been using social media to reach out and recruit people in the u. S. It really is an expansion of how the internet had been used for several years now, both in recruitment and radicalization of young people to join terrorist groups. The fbi director warning there are hundreds maybe thousands of isis followers online. Inside the u. S. Saying its almost if theres a devil sitting on the shoulder saying kill kill, kill, all day long. The fbi is increasing its monitoring of suspected isis supporters within the u. S. After sundays attack showed that one of those gunmen had some encrypted communication with an isis recruiter. Meanwhile, last night, the director of the fbi and Homeland Security secretary held a secure Conference Call alisyn with local and state officials, urging them to beef up their efforts against isis. Sunlen serfaty, live from the white house, thanks. New this morning, a south Korean Defense official tells cnn that north korea has fired three shiptoship missiles. This is coming after state tv reported that kim jongun oversaw a successful testfiring of a new underwater Ballistic Missile. Its still unclear when and where that launch took place. News of the launch several launches comes just days after the country threatened to open fire on any south korean naval ships that entered disputed waters. And we have this just in to cnn, a huge manhunt under way in iraq after a major prison break near baghdad. 40 prisoners, 40 of them some facing terrorism charges, escaped after a riot broke out with prison guards. 30 other prisoners and five Police Officers are dead. Lets bring in cnn military analyst Major General james spider marks, is this indicative of a larger security prison in iraqs jails or is this an isolated incident in. I think theres a fundamental breakdown of how the Iraqi Government is getting its hands around its requirements to provide for overall security this prison break was not an accident. When you read the accounts of how it occurred it was instigated from inside it wasnt accidental. And you cant really believe in the fact that coincidence would have brought all the confluence of all of these interests to have these potentially isis fighters escape. So iraq really has to beef up its security requirements across the board. Professionalism throughout the force. Not only in Law Enforcement but internal security as well as their military. But they know that United States knows that. And theres a Great Partnership to try to correct things like this. There was this major jail break in 2013. If the iraqis know it and the u. S. Government and military knows this why has this happened again . Its like the guy who spins all the plates you know you got to Pay Attention to all of them all the time. Its not a notion of boiling the ocean, but you have to establish priorities. And in iraq the priority is security. You have to be able to maintain the viability of the government in baghdad. You have to provide governance throughout the country. And when you emanate that further out of baghdad, you start to lose that capability. But a prison like this that holds isis fighters that has known terrorists clearly should be a priority and it simply was not in this case. Still so many challenges there. General marks, thank you so much. Monday on cnn we go inside deep inside isis. Who are they . What do they want . Fareed zakaria holds blindsided monday night on cnn. Theres been a bombshell outcome in a case that changed how america treats crimes against missing children. Etan patz was six years old when he vanished from a new york city street in 1979. His face was one of the first missing children to appear on a milk carton. This man confessed to killing him. But in a stunning twist, a lone juror on a 12member jury refused to convict him that forced a judge to declare a mistrial. Cnns rosa flores joins us now. Good morning, rosa. Can you tell us which juror held out . I mean who is he . And did he give a reason . You know heres what we know about this juror. His name adam. Juror number 11. He says that the deliberations were very respectful but that he quite frankly did not feel there was enough evidence to convict this man. He said that it was all circumstantial. And that he didnt buy the confession. Heres what he said. For me his confession was very bizarre, no matter how many times it happened. It got more and more bizarre. And i feel that the initial confession there were lots of issues surrounding custody. Surrounding miranda rights. Surrounding the fact that it wasnt videoed for six or seven hours. And i just felt i felt Like Mental Health issues were a huge part of this case. You know and thats a point that the defense also brought up. And that was mental illness. That this man had a, a personality disorder. That he was not keen or cunning. That he should have not been on trial for this. And then youve got the, the prosecution saying you know at the end of the day, the District Attorney saying that too much time has passed. And that thats one of the reasons why its difficult to have actual physical evidence in this case. Because lets not forget a body has never been found. This boy has never been found. All of this as you can imagine, very difficult for the family to be listening to. Over and over again. For the police to be saying that hernandez allegedly lured this boy into a basement killed him and disposed of his body. Imagine the agony that the family is going through. Heres what etan patz father had to say. I dont understand why the jury couldnt come to a verdict. But im convinced, i heard the evidence just as they did. And im convinced. Now a Court Hearing has been set to set another court date in this case. And that hearing is set for june 10th. Allison . So agonizing for the family. Rosa flores thanks. The million moms march in d.

Hey mom, you want to live by the lake, right . Yeah. Theres here. Did you just share a listing with me . Look at this one. Its got a great view of the lake. Its really nice mom.

Zillow live looks at washington in about 45 minutes in the capital, million moms march against Police Brutality will begin. This is again a live picture there. I believe thats the mall. This is in response to a tumultuous couple of years in this country following the deaths of unarmed black men. Youve got tamir rice had was a 12yearold boy, eric garner michael brown. Freddie gray. Million moms march is organized by Maria Hamilton her son was killed by a Milwaukee Police officer last year. He was fired by the department for not following the rules in the moments leading up to the shooting. I spoke to ms. Hamilton earlier. I asked her what she wanted to see happen after todays march. Hold these Police Officers accountable for killing our children. Theres no accountability and in none of these Police Departments. This is a cause thats that has swept the nation. Not by storm, because these things have been happening. But right now, its just really hit a head where its people really opening their eyes to the things thats happening. And we see Police Officers get off with it you know. Racial profiling. Its discrimination. And we need to make sure these things stop. Lets talk about this. Some of the demands put forward by the Group Organizing this. Mother force justice united. Weve got with us matt miller a former spokesman for the department of justice under eric holder. Matt good morning. Good morning, thank you for having me. Lets go to some of the demands put forward. One is that doj will review all deaths that involve Police Officers. Is that a reasonable demand . Its a reasonable request from family who is are obviously dealing with great tragedies. But unfortunately its not something thats really either realistic for the department to accomplish based on the resources they have available for them or really under which they have for which they have the jurisdiction under federal law. If you look at whats happened in last six years under first attorney general eric holder and in the last week and a half under attorney general lynch, the department has brought more investigations into Police Departments, than at any time in history. But even with that aggressive level of enforcement, its a mistake to think that the federal department of justice can be a substitute for local oversight of police forces, they dont have the resources to oversee the Police Departments or the authority or jurisdiction of the law. Let me ask you about how the department chooses which cases will be investigated. Some of the highprofile ones. Eric garner michael brown, Trayvon Martin even. And i think people at home know the names. Is there in these cases, any indicator that must be present . Or are these investigations simply a response to the protests and the calls for an investigation . There are two things they do. In individual cases they look for facts that would appear to show that police acted either with an intent to use more force than was necessary or an intent to discriminate. Theyll look at cases where theres an appearance for whatever reason often a conflict of interest local prosecutors arent effectively doing their job in investigating these cases and holding Police Officers accountable. When the department of justice sees those factors at play thats when theyre likely to step in and investigate themselves. And of course there are other instances in which they see yobds any individual case a pattern of abusive practices by the Police Department. Where theyre systematically discriminating. Systematically using Excessive Force in policing and in that situation the department will come in and conduct broad, sweeping investigations. I dont know that many people expected in the case of freddie gray when the states attorney Marilyn Mosby came out on that friday and announced criminal charges, many people were surprised bit speed of that investigation. But on the other side we hear from so many people these investigations are taking months years in some cases. Explain why are they taking so long . These are very difficult cases, the standard is so difficult. When you look at the District Attorneys case manslaughter something not available at the federal level. They have to show an intent on the behalf of the officer. That takes time. You have in many cases, witnesses who offer differenting accounts you have forensics evidence. You have ballistic evidence theres a lot to go through, a lot to sort through. And it just takes time to get to these answers. What we saw in ferguson oftentimes when you look at the outcome of the investigation, this he bear very difficult results than what people expect and its difficult and complex and the government has to wade through all of that. Matt miller thank you for helping us understand whats on the other side of the curtain. Live coverage of the march next hour. Thanks matt. And coming up later in this hour were going to be talking with the lawyer for the family of tamir rice the 12yearold boy shot and killed by Cleveland Police back in november.

I want to take a live look at where jeb bush is expected to speak today in lynchburg, virginia hes expected to give the commencement address at liberty university. And while the stage at the South Carolina Freedom Summit is going to be packed with republican president ial hopefuls youre not going do see jeb bush there. Senior reporter for cnn politics chris moody is live at the Freedom Summit. Chris, weve got the list here. Governor Scott Walker Ted Cruz carly fiorina, marco rubio front and Center Taking the stage. Will any of these folks use the platform to launch anything new . What will we hear new today . Well were not expecting any major announcements in their speeches today. But we are expecting them to really work hard to fire up the crowd. Look South Carolina is a key piece of the republican primary puzzle. Its the first primary in the south and its really a gateway for a lot of these candidates to the second phase of the primary contest. Especially for conservative candidates who might not have done as well. In iowa or new hampshire. Doing well here in South Carolina really gives them a breath of fresh air to go on to future election contests in the long primary that we have. Once again were not going to be hearing from jeb bush at the Freedom Summit where are you. But where he is expected to speak once again, the commencement address at liberty university. Why that university . What is the significance there for him . Well as you can see, he is not here in South Carolina. Hes already been kind of mentioned, not necessarily by name with some hiss and boos a little bit. Hes not welcome among a lot of the conservative candidates but in liberty, its the largest evangelical university. Its where ted cruz gave his announcement for president and its a great opportunity for him to meet a lot of the similar voters he would have reached in South Carolina particularly the conservative evangelicals. You said hes not welcome. Why specifically is that . Could he be the new face for the Republican Party to veer off the conservative line . Im sorry, can you say that again . You said he was greeted, he had his name was mentioned, there were hisses and boos why is that . Its called a rhino, a republican in name only. They see him as a moderate. Someone who wont hold the line. He will talk he will talk about religious liberty, a lot of issues that are important to evangelical conservatives. Chris moody, its loud in there, ill let you go. The calls are now growing louder for baltimores prosecutor Marilyn Mosby to step aside in the case against six charged Police Officers.

A Police Spokeswoman says matthew ajubadi died in an isolation cell on new years day. His family says he was tazed, handcuffed and put in a restraint chair. Say he suffered from bipolar disorder and that police knew that and should have taken him to a hospital. The District Attorney is investigating. Attorneys for the baltimore Police Officers charged in the death of freddie gray want the states prosecutor to step down immediately. It objects to mosbys continued involvement. Spelling out five conflicts of interest. One of them her friendship with the victims attorney or her support for her. Cnns sara sidner is in baltimore with more. Good morning, victor yeah when you look at this 109page document theres a lot in it. But essentially about five Different Things all of them having to do with conflicts of interest that they allege that ms. Mosby has as the states attorney. Some of them include the relationship with her own husband, nick mosby, a council member, who lives in that district and represents that district. She also lives in the district. They say theres financial and personal gain political game for him in that she is now prosecuting a case of his constituents wanted that to happen. Wanted those charges to go forward. Theres also an allegation that she has personal relationships with some of the potential witnesses. That her office indeed investigated this case as well. And theres the last one that her, her relationship with the attorney who represents freddie grays family. That she has a personal relationship with the attorney hes a former attorney of hers. And that creates a conflict. All of these things coming out, some of them we heard before because the police union also mentioned a couple of these things. Early on. But this is all about the process, we should have expected Something Like this to go forward. Just judging from what the Police Association says. This is the defense, starting its case if you will trying to find its place and start its case looking at how it can defend these six Police Officers who are charged in the death of freddie gray. We ended up talking to miss mosby about all of these allegations, at least a few of them. Some of these conflicts, we talk to her on sunday after the Police Association made their stance on this and heres what she had to say. There is no conflict of interest. I mean im going to prosecute, im the bought more city states attorney. My jurisdiction covers every district in Baltimore City. Theres a number of crimes that take place in Baltimore City and unfortunately in the district that we live. Where is the conflict . What i have to to take myself away from every case or crime that takes place in west baltimore . That makes absolutely no sense. We should be clear that Marilyn Mosby will likely not try this case herself. It will be the veteran prosecutors in her office who have done many, many trials in the past. But you know at this point this is the allegation Going Forward and shell have to answer this in court. Vikt center. Sara sidner live for news baltimore. Sara thank you. In baltimore, it took mosby less than two weeks to bring charges against six cops. But in cleveland, the family of tamir rice has been waiting more than five months five months for answers. Last november the sixth grader was shot and killed by a cop while he was playing with a pellet gun. The Police Officer was responding to a 911 call about a guy with a pistol that was quote probably fake. But within two seconds of arriving at the scene, officer Timothy Loman fired fatal shots at 129yearold. Walter madison joins us now for an exclusive interview. Hes an attorney for the tamir rice family. Good morning, walter thanks for joining us. Why do you think its taken so long for this family to get any answers . Its just clearly avoiding responsibility. And the city hopes in time that this matter will be swept under the rug. Or that people will forget. Do you have any idea when a grand jury may even review the case and decide whether or not to to hand over an indictment . Well you know i wish i did the pace is simply slower than molasses in the wintertime. And when the county Sheriffs Office has indicated that timeliness is not a priority of the investigation, its very disheartening. Its been reported less than two seconds, let me be clear its 792 1000 of a second that officer lowman from exiting the car, the amount of time that passed before he chose to shoot tamir. So less than a second a decision was made to take tamir away from us. But we are forced here to wait close to six months. Will the rice family continue with a lawsuit against the Police Department while this official investigation is ongoing . Were hopeful that theres been a motion to stay. Were hopeful that the court will deny that motion. What im speaking to specifically is about the motion. But the whole crux of the matter is theres tremendous Public Interest in this matter. Social justice issue is the hottest issue in the country. There are governor has taken a stance and created a Police Advisory board. First state in the United States to take such a lead. So its hard to say that delaying this matter would serve any Public Interest or promote the integrity of the process. And what kind of Community Reaction have you seen about what happened . Well you can feel it. The city is on edge and you know its just quite interesting how were trained to see and interpreted described violence. The city is claiming to take this proactive measures with clergy and Community Leaders to prevent violence but i submit to you that the violence already started. When they shot a 12yearold in less than a second at a park they started the violence. When they caused a death of Tanisha Anderson they started the violence. The matter thats in trial now with mr. Brelow and the 137 shots, they started the violence and its just really its almost laughable to suggest that the commencement of violence may be a people who are not empowered. Resisting against those in power, who are actually the aggressors. Well continue to follow the story. Walter madison, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Its been a dangerous week weatherwise for oklahoma and nebraska, kansas as well. It will be a tough weekend for tornado alley. At least 17 Million People possibly now in harms way, oklahoma has already seen look at this golf ballsized hail. And more. Could be on the way. Plus Christie Paul has got a message for all the moms out there this weekend. Listen. Hey, we want to give you a chance to give your mom a shoutout this mothers day, go to our Facebook Page facebook.

Get ready, giant hail could be in the forecast for parts of texas, up into oklahoma colorado many parts of kansas as well. May be time for a hard hat or something. The giant hail was the reason the university of oklahoma had to put off the Commencement Program last night. So far the Commencement Program looks like its back on for today. Weve got, weve got more on the forecast. Weve got hail weve got tornadoes, i mean what else is going on . How about some snow . Why not. Well throw it into the mix. Weve got Tropical Storm ana, about to make landfall sunday morning on the coast of the carolinas. Look at the hailstone yesterday this is the kind of hail potential were talking about for today. That can cause some damage. Were going to want you to be very careful today. Heres the latest. The severe thunderstorm watch box is going here. This is dangerous for oklahoma and into parts of kansas this is not the main event that will come later this evening. Those are the thunderstorms that i think are going to be more severe and are going to be the ones that are going to be likely dropping down tornadoes, well watch it closely. Because of the spin in the atmosphere we have the upper level low thats going. More moist air coming up from the south. Cool dry air from the north. We get the clash, without the low would you get a line of thunderstorms. Because of the low, we have the spin vertically and thats when we talk about the potential for some tornadoes. Where are we here . Well Central Texas going up into oklahoma city. Into parts of eastern colorado and into western kansas as well. Dont ignore the yellow that part is still under threat. I think the biggest threat for tornado action and also for the biggest hailstones will be where you saw the orange there. Well track this some thunderstorms that have developed will be moving out of the way. Nothing going on here. As we put this into motion watch the cells begin to pop up. Those are the ones that could be super cells, those are the ones that could develop into tornadoes. Well watch it from 4 00 to 8 00 p. M. Local time. And how about snowfall here in may, 12 to 24 inches of snowfall this sun believable. And did just shows you what a dynamic weather pattern we have. And well be looking today and tomorrow for the threat just expands and moves a little further east tomorrow. So a bumpy weekend, no question. Anothers day gets snow and hail and a Tropical Storm. That could be interesting, a little snow on mothers day. Not the severe one. Still, the love will be there. Thanks ivan.

White people only the owners of a barbeque restaurant in colorado have sparked some outrage after announcing they plan to offer a discounts one day next month. We have the owners with us at least one of them Mexican American they say they believe all americans should be celebrated. Joining us one of the owners behind white Appreciation Day. Edgar entione. Thank you for joining us this morning. Thanks for having me. First tell me how did this idea for white Appreciation Day come about . It started off as a joke realistically, its something that we were talking about black History Month and how we as mexicans have we have hispanic heritage month and we started going through everything and we figured a white people dont have a day where we can just simply say, hey, lets appreciate the White Community as well. You know there are lots of people who are critical of white Appreciation Day, and the argument for those months historically have been these groups africanamericans, have been omitted from scoot crick curricula, these have been dedicated to highlighting these contributions, understand that right . I completely understand it i get it ive been a victim of racism. Its not like i dont understand that it doesnt exist. However, our intention was not to highlight lets put people white people on a pedestal. Our intention was merely to fight fire with fire. And eliminate the need for all of that. Were all americans, we all have a history, bad, good indifferent. We all have that. For us it was about moving past that and understanding that were all the same. Were all equal. One class of citizens shouldnt be treated differently than another class of citizen. Were all human beings were all americans, we should all love each other and understand each other. That was really our true intention behind all of this. It wasnt just about white people yes, thats the way we presented it. But it was just to fight fire with fire. So are there going to be days to honor black Appreciation Day . Native american Appreciation Day . Are those coming . Again this came off as a joke. It started off as a joke. We didnt have anything planned for anything beyond that on that day if mexicans come in if black people come in if Chinese People come in they wont be denied a discount. Part of our sign says all americans should be celebrated. Were not going to be hypocritical. If a black person comes in and says i want a discount were not going to deny them a discount. Youre an american, absolutely you deserve a discount. Were an amazing culture here in the United States. Its the melting pot and it needs to be celebrated. We should include white people in there. Not just mexicans black people minorities. It should be everybody. Were americans. Edgar, let me ask you this there have been concerns about safety and youre getting threats, right . Yeah im getting threats. Its uncomfortable, its unfortunate, and i just want people to understand first of all, my apologies to the city of mill keniken milliken a fantastic, amazing community. Dont deserve this. Its something i did theres threats, other people in the community, the previous owners are receiving threats as well. And they dont deserve that. This is about me. Im the one that did this. Along with the other coowner of the restaurant. We did this if youre going to threaten anybody it should be myself. Not the town of milliken not the previous owners. If anything we wanted let me ask you this question you say there are these other months in highlighting the contributions of others. I dont know that anyone is arguing theres a shortage of highlighting the contributions of white people. Well i get that. But youre asking the wrong question.
