Ahead of the attacks. As of today a new piece in the puzzle was tell iing us that so time in october he bought ten detonators from a fireworks shop north of paris and then in november his movements get much more clear. Hes spotted on cameras at a gas station along with another fugitive. November 13th thats two days later, the day of the attack. Hes believed to have driven that dropped off three suicide bombers outside. And the following day, november 14th, at 9 00 a. M. He is stopped by french authorities right near the frenchbelgium boarder and e was let go. Its believed that a friend says they even stopped at a cafe. The belief by some now is he managed to make his way into syria. Lets go straight to phil black, live for us in paris. Just to be very clear here. Theres one working theory from some Intelligence Experts that he may have gotten back into syria. Thats what they are saying. However, its just a working theory. Belgium authorities have come out in the last two hours and said theres no indication right now that he is in syria. Which is this . Because this is clearly conflicting intelligence. Whats clear is that no one knows where this man is. Thats the concerning thing. Two weeks after the attack, as you say, hes been on the run for that length of time. And simply hasnt been found beyond having returned to belgium in the days after the attacks. As you mentioned, what we have heard from sources is that this theory is something that french intelligence are working on. That is the likely possibility that he may well have returned to the syria across the Syrian Border into isiscontrolled territory. A working theory, but if it is true, what it means is that europes most wanted man whose name is and photo have been everywhere since the attacks has slipped the net here and traveled to a country bordering syria like turkey or iraq and crossed the border into isiscontrolled territory. Certainly youd think within the time scope would have involved International Air travel. An extraordinary development, if true a concerning one for security officials. But youre right, as you say belgium authorities arent entirely sure. They are the ones that have been looking for this guy because he was last known to have been in belgium. They say they have no concrete reason to say he successfully traveledsyria, but thats a place he could be trying to get to. What we have also learned incredibly disturbing is that apparently he and the other alleged attackers not only planned to hit those cafes, but they also wanted to hit other specific targets in the city. What do we know about now . So this is information that comes from a french source close to the paris attacks investigation. They have information that suggests that Group Responsible for the attacks here had other plots in. The phrase that has been used ready to go. Targeting jewish areas and schools. Were told the information comes from a man who presented himself voluntarily to French Police saying he had been in contact with a member of that Group Responsible for. The attacks here. The woman who was part of that group who was killed during that police raid in paris in the days after the attack. This is on top of what we have been told that the raid had been carried out just in time to prevent the group from launching a strike on the financial area of paris. All of this suggests that the ambition of this group was very likely greater than the attacks they successfully carried out killing 130 people two weeks ago. Phil black live in paris, thank you. That city is certainly on high alert. Thats because 150 leaders from around the world, the u. S. President , chinas president , they are all there right now for this climate summit. A little more than two weeks after the string of attacks. Today they are focusing though on Global Climate change. Cnn learned that president obama has used the summit to continue those sidelined talks with russias president putin about isis and the crisis in syria. Also speaking about ukraine. A lot to talk about. I want to bring in a former fbi agent and also founder of the south asia middle east consultants. Thank you for being here. I want your take on what we have learned that these attacks were according to someone who knew some of the attackers very well. Ready to go and that they were going to target schools, transportation, jewish sites. I was in paris outside of a Jewish School French Military with assault rifles. They wouldnt let us film the school. This is a huge concern. They are behaving like most terrorists do. It was the al qaeda or the new isis. They like to do multiple attacks and have their traditional targets that they like to go after. Religious organizations have been always high on their list. Something new that were seeing are the schools. This has come back in the last few years with the Kenya University attack. So the schools are somewhat new. They had the old attack, but the schools they feel like they can do more hit the heart of the community by attacking the children. When you look at this eighth atta attacker still on the lam, which is pretty incredible, Salah Abdeslam. One operating theory right now coming from a source in the Intelligence Community saying he may have made it back to syria or be on his way back to syria. If thatses the case, talk to me about what happens to him there where his role falls in isis now having carried out these horrific attacks. So i do find it a little hard to believe hes made it all the way to syria. The amount of countries he would have to go through unless he took an immediate flight, but we would have heard if he was in syria because he would have put out a propaganda video. Hes a big hero going back to isis. They can use him as a big propaganda tool to say look what we did and imagine all the knowledge that hes gained by carrying out this one attack. Hes learned what were the mistakes they made as a group, what were the successes so he can take a lot of knowledge back to isis to plan future attacks. If he is on the ground in syria, which you say is hard to believe or on his way there, because many made it by foot or boat, how does u. S. Intelligence find him . Because this has been the issue in syria in fighting isis. We dont have eyes on the ground. So then we use our Traditional Technology advantages, which is the technology. What did we do . We have cell phones and other tracking methods. Occasionally we have informants, but generally its the Old Fashioned wait until the person makes a mistake and mostly its through his communications and we go through that. If he hasnt made it back to isis, theres a good chance hes smart to enough to hold up in a safe house location where someone is bringing him food. Not too many people know about so hes waiting and may have to wait for months in a a single bedroom apartment. All you need is one person to crack like this friend coming to authorities telling them about the other attacks. Thank you. So nice to have you on. Coming up next, minutes from now well get a look at the suspect in that planned parenthood attack on friday. Hell make his First Court Appearance. Liberals and conservatives debating whether rhetoric inspired this insane rampage. Well talk about that. Also the university of chicago shutting down today over a direct threat to its campus breaking moments ago. An arrest has been made. Well tell you who has been arrested, next. Baltimore is on edge. The first trial of one of the officers accused in the death of freddie gray is officially under way but is finding an impartial jury an Impossible Task . Youll hear what potential jurors are saying and hear from inside the courtroom, back in a moment. The great beauty of owning a property is that you can create wealth through capital appreciation, and this has been denied to many South Africans for generations. This is an opportunity to right that wrong. The idea was to bring capital into the Affordable Housing space in south africa, with a fund that offers families of modest income safe and good accommodation. Citi got involved very early on and showed an enormous commitment. And that gave other investors confidence. Citis really unique, because they bring deep understanding of whats happening in africa. I really believe we only live once, and so you need to take an idea that you have and go for it. You have the opportunity to say, ive been part of the creation of over 27,000 units of housing, and to replicate this across the entire african continent.

This involves the Police Officer who was charged with firstdegree murder. Bond set at 1. 5 million for the officer. Dash cam video was released last week of this 2014 shooting of the 17yearold shot 16 times in a matter of 15 seconds. Cnns rosa flores just in the courtroom where many bond was announced. We know hes been charged with firstdegree murder. He hasnt entered a plea yet, has he . Reporter let me take you inside the courtroom because i just left the courtroom when the judge decided that bond was set at 1. 5 million. Jason van dike entered the courtroom shackled by his hands and his feet and he faced a judge and the judge asked for the viewing of the graphic video that everybody has been talking about that has triggered protests here in chicago. So after a little while because there was some technical difficulties, and i was in a spillover room with some of the people there that are mcdonald supporters. Some say they know the family. So there was a lot of tense moments, as everybody waited for the judge to actually view this video on a laptop. Soon thereafter, the state asked the judge to keep the bond at no bond like we had heard during the original bond hearing and then the defense attorney for jason van dike said, you know what, judge, this defendant is not a flight risk. He said he will not be performing in his duty as a former Police Officer in chicago. He says he does not have a criminal background. And in this country, he said, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. And that bond should not be punitive. Shortly thereafter, the judge decided that bond would be set at 1. 5 million. And a lot of people in the crowd didnt understand because the microphone muscled. So a lot of them didnt even know that bond was set. They thought bond was denied like in the original hearing. I caught up with a few people once they realized that that made them sad and upset. So we dont know whats going to happen now because, as you know, protests were triggered because of the release of the video and now that this Police Officer could post bail then he could be back out on the street. Absolutely, we know he wont be work iing as an officer, but. Well see if he posts that bond. Rosa flores with the latest from chicago, thank you very much. Also staying in chicago for you, because we have more breaking news. An arrest now made in the threat against the university of chicago. The fbi first picked up the threat which promised a shooting on the Campus University of chicago right in the quad, the main student area at 10 00 a. M. Students and staff were evacuated and told to stay away from campus. Lets kbo to ryan young, who is there on campus. Did they track that person down . Reporter they did make an arrest. This is an off Campus Student they arrested. We have been here since 5 00 this morning knowing that the fbi was still working on this that threat that was made online. This is the quad right here, normally packed around this time because a full week of classes left. We were expecting something to happen today, but we werent sure what. We know someone tracked down the student and saw Police Officers leave this area about an hour ago. And since then we have now learned that a student has been arrested who was living off camp campus. We are not told when class will resume, but we did find out this information that the student has been arrested of making that threat toward the campus. Not sure the motivation yet as we get this information. I think its interesting. Everyone is on heightened alert given the numerous Mass Shootings we have seen in the country and the attacks in paris. The fact that they completely evacuated campus and told people not to come, is that some standard protocol or something stepped up that we were seeing. It felt heightened. We have all seen pranks like this before, but people are taking this very seriously. We have seen officers both from the campus and from Chicago Police working this area all morning long. But i think it also speaks to the fact if you look around this campus and we have done a couple drive arounds, its a ghost town. So everyone is taking this seriously. I think with all the violence thats happened on campuses just this year, we went to oregon after that shooting, you have to think when people hear of these threats, they are on extra guard about this kind of information and thats what were seeing. As you can see, im the only one standing in this entire quad area. Ryan young, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Coming up next, minutes from now, well get a look at the suspect, the suspected gunman in the planned parenthood attack. He will make his First Court Appearance. Liberals and conservatives debate over the rhetoric and all of this. Well talk about that, stay with me. Redid you say 97 . 97 yes. You know, that reminds me of geicos 97 Customer Satisfaction rating. 97 . Helped by geicos fast and friendly claims service. Huh. Oh yeah, baby. Geicos as fast and friendly as it gets. Woo geico.

Next hour the man accused of opening fire all the a planned parenthood clinic on friday and killing three people will stand before a judge. It will be robert deers First Court Appearance since the deadly rampage on friday that lasted six hours in his standoff with police. Investigators have not said publicly what his motive may have been, but a Law Enforcement source tells cnn that he said something about, quote, baby parts after the shooting and that he expressed antiabortion and antiBig Government views. We have also just learned that the funeral will be this friday for the university of colorado Police Officer who was killed in the attack. Officer Garrett Swasey was a married father of two. Two civilians died in the attack. A 35yearold stay at home mother and an iraq war veteran. He also leaves behind a wife and two children. We are live where dear is being held without bond. Do we know a what we might learn in court today . Reporter we may learn some of the charges. What we do know is that while he is being held here at this criminal justice complex, hes going to be arraigned via video link to the courthouse. We understand that where the judge is, there will be some of the victims that are in the courtroom as well. And what we may learn some of the charges and bond available to him. The District Attorney has ten days to get their full charges put together and to charge dear in this case. We have learned about the victims in terms of their names. This officer also these two civilians, what more do we know about the injured. I believe at last check last night, 5 were still in the hospital . Right and youre talking about nine people injured. So that number going down to five. We also understand everyone injured outside of the three people that lost their lives are expected to recover and be okay. Not to say they will be okay dealing with this. And one other thing, the iraq war veteran is he had gone o outside and use edd a cell phon because he didnt have a signal inside and he made a call to 9 11 to help get some support there and to protect the other people that were at planned parenthood. Thats what his sister has told cnn about what police told her about his effort. So learning more about the courageous last moment of a couple of these people as they were facing their last moments of life and dealing with the pact there was a gunman on the loose outside. A hero always, iraq war veteran and trying to save others. Thank you for that. Fridays attack on that planned parenthood clinic is raising a lot of political debate. People talking about whether political rhetoric contributed at all to what happened. Is it even fair to point to that or not. Republicans and democrats, president ial candidates alike condemning the attacks. Republicans saying their criticism of planned parenthood is in no way linked to the rampage. What i would say to anyone that tries to link this terrible tragedy to anyone who opposes abortion or opposes the sale of body parts is this is typical left wing tactics. I think he was probably a person re
