Both agencies are conducting separate investigations and its still not clear when the results will be made public. Charlie. Thanks. With us, Baltimore Mayor stephanie rawlinsblake. Good morning. Good morning to you. Can you give us an assessment of where baltimore is at at this moment . This morning this is our second day of curfew. I am pleased to report we had more calm incidences. What you saw is a true baltimore. You saw Community Leaders and elected officials working together to bring the peace. It is the strangest thing. We saw last night gang members ow out out on the corners trying to encourage peace and getting people to go home. You know weve had a very dark time in our city and theres a lot of pain here but theres also a resiliency that is characteristically baltimore. Why are there still no answers to what happened to freddie gray and do you support releasing the Police Report when its complete to the entire public . So this is the thing. We need to make sure that theres justice for freddie gray and for his family. And when you talk to his family his family understands very well that in order to get justice, not just to seek it not just to have the optics of justice, but to be able to seek it you have to protect the process. And thats what weve been trying to talk about. Community leaders, clergy leaders, the gray family, we have to protect the process. Yes, they want answers, but they want answers in a way that will best protect their ability to get justice for freddy gray and thats my focus. Mayor, why not . You talk about a city in pain, there are questions of Police Tactics all across the country. Why not have transparency . Well i have to reject that premise. The pain that you saw, yes, it is about freddie gray but its about so much more. If it were just about freddie gray on the day that his mother begged the city his family begged the city for peace so that she could mourn, you wouldnt have seen what you saw on monday. Its about larger issues and those are those issues that were working on. And my prayer for my city and for cities across our country is tat during that time of unrest and during this time where its very clear people are in a lot of pain that we find a way to communicate with each other. So were on the same page. We cant want justice for freddie gray or any freddie gray across this country and not at the same time be fighting for the process to move forward. Mayor, its been a rough week for you personally its been a rough week for the city. If you had any doovers what would it be . Thats a good question. You know if youre talking about operationally, every incident weve had, and ive been mayor during many a derecho, an earthquake, a flood, a super bowl that had almost a Million People here that could have gone any which way, weve done it all and i feel comfortable with my track record for dealing with that crisis. Let me phrase it another way. You were criticized for called some of the proteflters thugs. A lot of people look at these people saying these are people in pain theyre striking out do. Do you regret using that word . I regret it and ive apologized several times. It was very clear to me what was going on. In the heat of the crisis ive let my anger overcome me. Ive apologized hundreds of times. Not only about that but its force add conversation about a word instead of the pain that many people are feeling across the city. Should you have called in the National Guard earlier . You know i dont think anyone gains from trying to politicize this. You know im from baltimore. Im from here. My parents grew up here and my daughter is here. When you see your city burning you need to do everything you need to do to begin healing. As soon as i saw we needed the National Guard, i made that call without hesitation or equivocation period. Mayor stephanie recall lingsynx, thank you. Well take you inside camden yards and show you the first regular season baseball game where in this game the fans were banned. Thats ahead.

Reporter christina went to the movies with a bunch of coworkers. Suddenly the iraqi vet heard familiar sounds gunshots inside a theater. My leg, i saw blood, so i just continued falling to the ground. Her coworker alex sully organized it. It was his 27th birthday. He tweeted inside the thatder it was going theo be the best birthday of his life. Navy vet joshua nolan was trying to shield a friend when he was shot. Bullets tore into his calf and arm. He collapsed. My thought process was that he was searching for other people and that he was going to start going row by row. First responders walked into chaos. Dozens of people wounded or dead. People screaming or pleading for help. The phrase was if its got a pulse, get them out of here. And when all the wounded were led out, the that it irwas still a homicide scene with bodies everywhere and for hours police said cell phones left behind started to ring. How incredibly painful for families to relive all of that. Thank you, mark. Syrias government is accused this morning of another Chemical Warfare attack on its own people.

No, you were supposed to keep it in the context that this administration was very clearly pushing a narrative and by losing sight of that context albuquerque i not reporting i think we did.
