0 aed hands of my colleague wolf blitzer. >> breaking news we're following. jake, don't leave. i need your help. we're taking a closer look. one week exactly after the bombings ripped through the boston marathon, ripped into the heart of this city, the fbi is now returning control of boylston street back to the city of boston. let's go straight to cnn's ashleigh banfield. she's on boylston street. i know the mayor will be there. there's going to be some other local officials. this is a major moment right now because this street had has been closed for a week. it was the scene of the investigation, this is where those two bombings took place exactly a week ago, and there's no doubt that people here are anxious to try to get back together to some semblance of normality, normalcy if you will, and people are anxious to make sure that boston is coming back. this will be a symbolic event right now, and we're watching it very closely. jake tapper is watching it together with us. we've been here now for a long time. >> for a week. >> the mayor of boston, who is in a wheelchair -- he had some severe health-related issues -- he's going to be presiding over this symbolic moment, but it's going to be done in stages as they return boylston street where the bombings occurred back to the city of boston. the fbi determined it was a crime scene. they needed to investigate. apparently now they've completed the investigation. there you see mayor menino being wheeled over to this event right now. you know, he speaks recuperating. he was in the hospital as you know when all of this happened. >> a one-man metaphor tore the town himself. when he was speaking at the service in the cathedral, his struggle to stand up, get out of the wheelchair, talk to the city of boston was very moving in and of itself. he almost symbolized the way the city felt, knocked down and struggling to get back up. >> he certainly did. and he, like the governor, deval patri patrick, the police chief, ed davis, a lot of these people have been so reassuring to the community here, and i think the symbolic ceremony we're about to see here is going to furnlgther reassure the folks, yes, it was a terrible, terrible bombing, two bombings actually, that occurred, but it's time for this city to move on. and i think the fbi is ready to see that. certainly the authorities here in boston -- here are more officials coming in, including representatives from the boston police force, led by their police chief ed davis, who's become very, very visible in all of this as well. i believe we'll hear first interest the mayor. he will preside. then ed davis, i assume, will be speaking, representatives from the boston office of emergency management will be here. and federal authorities will be here as well. the fbi taking the lead in this investigation, still is the lead in this investigation, but they've determined apparently that they have enough evidence collected at boylston street, that they can move forward and give this part of of the city back to the city. >> and it's been a very momentous day. you had first of all the charges against bomber number two, dzhokhar tsarnaev, filed against him. and then you also, of course, had roughly two hours ten minutes ago a moment of silence honoring the victims of this horrible terrorist attack. chr krystle campbell and lingzi lu, martin richard and of course officer collier. you had a moment of silence for them here in boston and throughout the country. >> the mayor will receive an american flag that flew over the finish line at the boston marathon exactly one week ago. the fbi will present the mayor with this commemorative american flag that has flown at half-staff over the boston marathon finish line in a ceremony that we are about to see live here on cnn. and then we are told the city will commence what's being described as a five-phase plan for reopening this street to business, to commerce, to traffic, to passengers, to people just walking along. the first phase will be decontamination and testing, to make sure everything is safe and secure. second phase is structural building assessments, utility coordination, making sure power has been restored. third phase, debris removal, getting rid of all the junk that's accumulated on the streets. phase four, internal building assessments, making sure the buildings are structurally sound. phase five, reentry communications and counseling. jake, on that last issue of counseli counseling, four people are dead, nearly -- at least 200 people were injured, many of them remaining in hospitals in critical condition. there's been a lot of amputations. there's going to be a lot of counseling that will be needed to heal this city right now. >> oh, yeah. for members of the media and some people in the country, they will will turn their sights on other issues. but for a lot of people, this is going to be april 16th, the day after the bombing, for years and years to come. i mean, the trauma both physical and mental that people in this city have gone through. we were talking to the police chief in watertown, he was talking about the counseling that his officers are going to have to go through. we were talking to a columnist from t"the boston globe" earlie. he was talking about the counseling that some members of the media are going to need. >> hold on a second of the i want to listen to this ceremony. ♪
