Morning. Take a little bit of a while. We brought in 4,000 people this beek to keep the city safe. Athena jones and nick valencia are here in baltimore. Begin with nick right there in the crowd, dozens of people. I got a chance to hear first happened what the hand had to say. The governor spoke two hours ago about the unwinding of the National Guard. We still do see, frederica, a presence here around city hall. That is expected to change in the coming days. No realtime table given for just how long it will take for every National Guard troop to be out of baltimore, but members of this Community Say until that happens, wont really feel like things are back to normal. Back here at the lawn and city hall this interfaith rally has been under way about an hour. We are joined with one of the fathers, local father joe, popular priest here. Father, Interfaith Community is out in full force. People that even are not religious have showed up here to show their support. What do you think so far .
Donald trump sinking. Marco rubio shining. Good morning. Welcome to early start. Im alison kosik. Good morning. Im christine romans. It is friday, october 30th. 4 00 a. M. In the east. Breaking overnight. An iranianamerican businessman arrested overnight. He is the head of strategic planning. He was visiting family in tehran when he was arrested by Iranian Security forces. The announcement of his arrest complicating the peace talks in austria. The iranians have been invited to the table for the first time. I want to invite correspondent Frederik Pleitgen with more. Reporter it is a Troubling Development that the american who was taken as you said by Security Forces that are close to irans Supreme Leader. They are brought to the prison which is exactly the same place where jason rezaian, the post reporter, who has been in detention for more than 450 days. The question is if this is something that comes from irans Supreme Leader, it is something the iranian government is not in accordanc
You are the media. You and the executive producers here, this is my whole problem, actually, with a lot of the coverage of what donald trump does. You blow these things so out of proportion, cover them nonstop, and not cover the stories that really do matter like whats happening in puerto rico. Youre exactly right, ana, whats happening there is a tragedy of unimaginable consequences. This is an argument that we hear time and again about whether or not we should cover what the president says and how much attention we should devote to it, when the president is mostly tweeting and making most of his public statements about the nfl, about that controversy. Ultimately we have to cover it. Ultimately its our responsibility to focus on an issue that hes bringing attention to regardless of how it is while still paying attention to the other important things. I agree with that. The question ultimately is one of timing. And the question is why did the president choose to do this now at a time wh
Reaction to his comments and tweets. Many comments and many, many tweets about mostly black athletes protesting Police Brutality and racial injustice, turning a principled protest into a culture war really.

Yes, i said it. That was his quote. Va chief apologized, expressing embarrassment for his post, but he is out of a job tonight. If the leader of our country promoted empathy, perhaps that firefighter would still have a job. Perhaps Colin Kaepernick would too. I want to remind everyone again tonight that the reason for taking a knee during the anthem is
Scandals that we have been covering here on special report for weeks. First, to our midwest newsroom, and Governor Greitens was mired in political scandal, and it was an active special session in the Missouri House to consider whether greitens was going to be the first governor in missouris history to teach impeachment proceedings. He was also facing a trial and now a short while ago the governor formally announced his resignation. However, the governor insisted he is innocent and chose careful words to strike back at those he believed wanted to take him dow down. This ordeal has been designed to cause an incredible amount of strain on my family. Millions of dollars of mounting legal bills, and less personal attacks designed to cause maximum damage to family and friends. Its clear that for the forces that oppose us, there is no end in sight. I cannot allow those forces to continue to cause pain and difficulty to the people that i love. Bret todays announcement comes exactly two weeks a
