hours east of paris. our senior international correspondent nic robertson is following the story for us. tell us more nic. >> this appears to be a situation where france if you will has literally dodged a bullet. police were responding to a call that someone had been injured. when they arrived, they thought they were witnessing -- the french president said they were witnessing a victim but they realize he was under investigation. the french prime minister said this man had been under investigation last year and this year by the police and when they came across this man, they also with him found a vehicle, they say, weapons of war, which they describe as pistols, flak jackets, communications equipment, computer equipment as well and from all of the material they found in the vehicle, it was very clear he was about to attack two churches and also that he planned to try to go to syria as well. the french believe that they have narrowly averted over the weekend on sunday this attack against the churches. they also say -- the prime minister says it's because they're on a heightened state of alert and heightened vigilance that police were able to quickly realize what was happening and thwart this attack. >> so the main target of this man's attack two churches? can you tell us more about that? >> the police haven't identified the churches. he was picked up in the southwest of paris on sunday. around about the same time a french woman a 32-year-old french woman was shot and killed. she was in paris apparently for what the police are describing as professional training. she's a lady who had a 5-year-old daughter and why this man killed her, that's still under investigation. >> all right. nic robertson, we'll let you get back to it. thanks so much. in other news this morning, outrage, anger and growing demand for answers on the streets of baltimore. this is what it looked like on tuesday. hundreds of demonstrators rallying to protest the death of freddie gray. the 25 year old suffered a fatal spinal cord injury after being taken into police custody. the department of justice now opening a criminal investigation. the six police officers involved in that struggle now identified and suspended with pay. cnn's suzanne malveaux is in baltimore with more for you. good morning, suzanne. >> reporter: good morning, carol. at that protest last night and it was just incredible the level of emotion and height of emotion from the family members, the mother of freddie gray collapsing in grief. the brother who was scream inging and chanting with the crowd. the family members and people in that community will gather here at city hall tomorrow. they are so incredibly frustrated they don't have answers. we're talking about ten days after freddie gray was apprehended by police and three days after he died. very little information. i've been in touch with the legal team of the family. they've been in close contact with family members who really have not had the strength to talk that much in public about what they are feeling and experiencing and one of the frustrating things one, they haven't received the preliminary autopsy report which they would like as soon as possible and the second thing and this is something that they said they were told they would be receiving yesterday that they did not receive and that is the body of freddie gray so that they can start making burial arrangements. i spoke with billy murphy the family attorney. this is how he describes how he says the family -- what they are coping with and dealing with now in light of the fact that they have so little. >> they're grieving. this has been so catastrophic and so sudden. can you imagine how his mother feels that he's no longer here? can you imagine how that community feels that yet again there's somebody victimized who didn't deserve it? it's been traumatic for them. in addition to being in grief, they are outraged. outraged that the police did it to them this time after they've seen it done to others so many other times. >> reporter: what's happening today is there are three things. the law enforcement officers bill of rights essentially prohibits a supervisor from interviewing those police officers involved in the arrest of freddie gray for ten days. that expires today. it's potential now for the police to directly talk to those who were involved in the arrest of freddie gray to get more information. the second thing that's happening is at 5:00, it's expected there will be another protest outside of the western district police station. that's where we were yesterday. and third, we have been told by someone inside of the mayor's office that they are organizing working on potential of a press conference sometime in the afternoon to put the mayor again before cameras to take some of those questions, those tough questions to see if she has anymore details to give the public as well as the family. carol? >> all right. suzanne malveaux reporting live from baltimore this morning. thank you. the death of freddie gray just one in a string of recent cases highlighting racial tensions and police violence. in just a few hours, democratic congressman and ranking minority member on the house judiciary committee john conyers will introduce legislation to put an end to racial profiling. thank you for joining me sir. >> a pleasure. >> a pleasure for me too. can you explain what's in your legislation? >> well what we are trying to do here is for the first time federally criminalize racial profiling. we mandate retraining of officers and rebegin datewe begin data collection on racial profiling by police for the first time and then we collect data and we give grants for good police practices. that's essentially what the bill is about. >> do you think what happened in baltimore, sir, was the result of racial profiling? >> i suspect that it probably was. >> i ask you that difficult question because the neighborhood was largely african-american. it has a crime problem. and some people say isn't it possible even if mr. gray were white that this could have happened. >> you know we're getting back to the message all lives matter. what's happened in predominantly african-american communities is that police practices and racial profiling has become a thing that's been going on for decades now. and so i started introducing a bill to prevent racial profiling back in 2001 and had been introducing it in congress ever since. now with these eight lives that have been taken, we've got a new look at it a new approach a new attorney general, and so things are moving far more rapidly than in the past. >> let me ask you the question this way. the justice department you know it investigated several of these cases, right? it ruled out civil rights violations in two controversial cases. for example, in february of 2015 the justice department said it would not file civil rights charges against george zimmerman in the trayvon martin case. in the michael brown case, federal authorities declined to prosecute officer darren wilson. would your bill do anything to make it easier for the justice department to file civil rights charges in such cases? >> well i think that by making this a federal crime, it changes the approach quite a bit. the bill wasn't aimed to do that specifically or exclusively. what we wanted to do was get a broad prohibition that makes it a criminal matter of where racial profiling occurs. it's a federal crime and that we think, will be very helpful in reduceing the number of incidents that occur. >> there is another problem that some say we have. for example, we have no idea how many suspects are actually killed by police because they're not required to keep those numbers. should lawmakers deal with that issue, too? >> we do in the bill. we have a data collection requirement and that will take care of that problem. you're right. it is a big concern if we don't know what the numbers are that we're dealing with on this matter. >> congressman john conyers, thank you so much for joining me this morning. i appreciate it. >> a pleasure ms. costello. still to come -- i'm sorry. let's go to paris, france where a press conference is being held by french prosecutors in this terrorism charge against the suspect who apparently targeted two churches in paris. let's listen. >> >> translator: traces of blood and the presence of bags. after these assessments and in fear of the attitude and suspicious behavior of the individual he refused to have his vehicle searched. the police decided to search the vehicle where it was discovered a cache of guns loaded and three cartridges a revolver .9 millimeter fully loaded three mobile telephones a laptop a usb key, and handwritten documents which contained information on personal targets and information in the terrorist division of the paris prosecution was led to arrest people with regards to categories a and b of terrorist attempt. it's a new breach of the new law in 2014, which applies to individual -- crimes committed. the investigation was given to the paris legal division and director general of the interior minister. the individual was detained in the context of this inquiry and a search was carried out at his home which allowed the discovery at his home of three guns a charger, fireproof vests, police arm bands, a camera a hard disk 2,000 euros in cash as well as sim cards, documents in arabic mentioning al qaeda and i.s. the operations carried out on computerized information at his home allowed to establish that this individual with another person who was in syria with whom he exchanged information with a view to committing an attack and latter asking him to target a church. this target was confirmed by the handwritten documents in the car. all of these elements seemed a target was a church and also involving a third party. it was concluded there was preparation of one or more crimes and a criminal offense by criminals with a view to preparing crimes. examination of personal computer to reconstitute the movements that the individual when he was arrested allowed one to assert his presence on the 19th of april. at the time when the woman was assassinated in her vehicle seated on the passenger seat of the car consulting her laptop. there have been searches on the victim and it was seen again at 8:40 going in the wrong direction, a journey which corresponds that one takes when one comes back to the residence concerned. the inquiry by the prosecution after the assassination allowed to assert that she was killed by one bullet and not three. blood was found on the driver's seat of the car. they had not moved the body of the victim and i remind you was seated on the passenger seat. similarly, a 9 millimeter gun was found on the passenger side. we quickly discovered that the same inscriptions were to be found -- >> we'll jump out of this news conference. you hear these prosecutors in paris, france describing how they stopped this terror suspects from targeting two churches but the suspect also managed to murder one woman who just happened to be sitting in her car near one of the targeted churches. prosecutors also say they found an arsenal of weapons and references to al qaeda and isis on this man's person or among his belongings. we'll have much more on this and what went down in paris and how authorities were able to stop this man when we get it here on cnn. still to come in the "newsroom," a u.s. backed government in ruins and an alleged cease-fire in limbo. the latest in the tug of war over yemen. ♪ getting older shouldn't mean giving up all the things she loves to do. it should just mean, well, finding new ways to do them. right at home's professional team thoughtfully selects caregivers to provide help with personal care, housekeeping, and of course, meal preparation. oh, that smells so good. aw, and it tastes good, too. we can provide the right care, right at home. when account lead craig wilson books at laquinta.com. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. so he knows exactly when he can settle in and practice his big pitch. and when craig gets his pitch down pat, do you know what he becomes?

should we be concerned? >> both sides have been a threat to both sides for years. let's call a spade a spade here. iran has been an enemy of the united states and we have been an enemy of iran for years ever since the overthrow and capture of americans at the u.s. embassy in tehran. it's a lot of rhetoric going on. the thing that i find very interesting is these are cargo ships that are being brought down from iran but cargo ships really don't do a lot of anti-piracy work. so i think that's kind of an interesting spin on cargo ships coming up going down to do anti-piracy work. >> so it's necessary for the u.s. warships to be there in other words and you don't believe iran when it says hey, we're not delivering arms to the houthi rebels. >> well i think from my experience in the past both sides don't have a lot of trust. i think if iran wants to provide support, nonlethal support, whether it's humanitarian they should have no problems to allow the saudis to inspect those. we're moving that carrier group into the region and that gives us options. it doesn't give us but saudis options and different courses of action because of our premiere sea power that the u.s. brings to our coalition. >> okay. so let's talk about how saudi arabia is conducting itself at the moment. so yesterday it says we're going to stop the air strikes and we're going to begin a new operation called the operation of renewal of hope. and then saudi officials said we want a political resolution to this crisis and next day they launch air strikes again. what's going on here? >> you know the bottom line is they really wanted to get the president back into power, the official guy that was elected to go in. that hasn't happened yet. and they met some of their requirements of destroying some of these artillery and major gun weapons positions but now they have to look at how do we get him in power? if the houthies continue to fight against forces that are backing or support the president, those forces don't have an air force and saudis will continue to support those ground forces with close air support just like we're doing to help the iraqis against isis. so i don't believe that it will be a prolonged operation or attacks. i think it will be -- if those forces that are there to help get the president back into power come into contact with the houthies the saudis will support them with close air support and back off. >> you think saudi arabia has a plan and it's just not conducting these air strikes willy-nilly? there's some plan. >> there is a plan. there is a plan. absolutely there is a plan. the saudis are not just going in there to do this willy-nilly. >> all right. lieutenant colonel james reese, thank you for your insight. i appreciate it. still to come italy overwhelmed. another boat full of migrants rescued at sea. where this boat was coming from next.

>> i don't think so. this is my right. it's my right. it's my constitutional right to film. i was on a public sidewalk. >> that officer is learning that everybody has a cell phone, everyone is going to record everything because a neighbor across the street was also recording. the u.s. marshal service confirms their officer was indeed involved. they released a statement to us saying that the u.s. marshal service is aware of video footage of an incident that took place sunday in los angeles county involving a deputy u.s. marshal. the agency is currently reviewing the incident. we did follow-up to see if they could offer us any guidance. what was happening. what was going through that marshal's mind. they didn't have any further comment. >> what were the u.s. marshals doing, do you know? >> we understand that they were involved in some sort of biker incident but that's really the only guidance we're getting from other law enforcement agencies. the marshals themselves are not saying anything beyond that statement. >> so strange. many thanks. i appreciate it. joining me to talk about this joey jackson, legal analyst and former defense attorney and tom consequent fuentes? your thoughts tom? >> i'm refer to joey for better legal analysis on this but it's my understanding if you're in a public place, a public sidewalk on the street and you're using your camera and your smartphone to record police action, as long as you're not interfereing with that action directly or obstructing it or endangering somebody by doing that you're allowed to do that. i think that from the appearances of this i think the marshals need to do a better job of explaining the situation and what they're doing. >> joey this woman hired a civil rights attorney because she says her constitutional right to film was violated. is that true? >> police have a very difficult job. we know that carol. stresses run high. apparently in this particular incident they were involved. the police department u.s. marshals were involved and interagency task force to get bikers who we were looking for. we get that. however, tom fuentes says it's your first amendment right. you want to sit there. you want to film. you want to do anything. if you're in a public place and not impeding or interfereing or otherwise engaging in any activity that would prevent the law enforcement officers from doing their job, it's problematic. so you do have a constitutional right also to be free from unreasonable searches unreasonable search and of course excessive force. she does have a claim. the bigger issue is what the damages are going to be. why? because the reality is that you know they snatched the phone and hurt the phone. how was she damaged? that's going to be the issue. >> going back to the u.s. marshal's actions, i mean you might understand why police deputies and u.s. marshals may be sensitive when people are taking pictures. is that an excuse? >> no carol, it's not an excuse. i'm a little bit surprised about the marshals in this case a particular deputy marshal not getting the memo that you know people are out there with cameras and just about anything you do in a public place is going to be recorded. that's just the way it is as in this case. not even the woman that's recording that marshal. it's a neighbor across the street recording her having difficulty with the marshal. if the marshal had gone across the street and dealt with that person there's probably someone down the block that would have recorded that. this is just the reality as joey said. it's the reality of what's going on now. it's not a rare occurrence anymore. in 1991 when rodney king was beaten it was a very rare occurrence to have someone out there and it took a full-fledged video camera to do it. now just about all of us walk around with a video camera attached to our hip. >> joey i know that some jurisdictions have tried to ban picture taken by citizens. have any of them been successful as far as you know? >> not at all. what happens is that the courts have ruled that as long as you're in a public place, if you're in that place and you're leaving the officers alone, they have no expectation of privacy in that public place so you are legally and constitutionally protected to do what you want. it's interesting that tom mentions a memo and them not getting the memo. new york city recently issued a member to all officers saying we know you are working hard. if someone is filming you, you can't take the cameras away. it's their right to do so. it's a certainty that law enforcement throughout the country is more attune to this and start letting their officers know what their rights are and what their rights are not. >> many thanks to both of you. i appreciate it. as early as today investigators could begin questioning the six baltimore police officers involved in the takedown of freddie gray. gray died from a fatal spinal cord injury. those officers now suspended with pay. more protests are planned today. on tuesday gray's family walked side by side with angry demonstrators. all of this happening as the department of justice launches a criminal investigation to determine whether gray's civil rights were violated. still to come in the "newsroom," in japan, a drone lands in the center of a mystery. why did that drone land on the prime minister's rooftop and why was it carrying radioactive material? in tokyo, police are baffled by a startling discovery. a member of the prime minister's staff spotted a curious object on the rooftop of his residence. it was a drone outfitted with a small camera carrying radioactive cargo. let's head to tokyo and cnn's will ripley. strange and scary. >> reporter: revery startling. this is the equivalent of a drone carrying radioactive material landing on the rooftop of the white house. the prime minister works out of this building and he sometimes stays there. the prime minister out of the country right now in indonesia but there were still a lot of staff members in here when this drone was discovered this morning and within minutes there was a swarm of police on the rooftop trying to figure out what this was. what they know about this drone is it's about 20 inches across. as you said it was carrying a bottle that contained traces of radioactive material. this material has been identified as cesium which is contaminating the environment around the fukushima plant. it's not enough to be harmful to the human body. it's much higher than what would appear naturally in the environment and there was that small camera and two smoke flares on the drone as well. nobody has claimed responsibility for this yet. the timing of this is interesting because it came on the same day that a court here in japan approved the restart of two nuclear reactors. this is very controversial given the fukushima disaster. the fact that you have a drone landing on the prime minister's residence containing cesium that was intentionally placed there, police believe. they are trying hard to figure out who did this and why. ka carol?
