wealthy seaside enclave of canton where waterfront coon goes go for a half million dollars and lofts rents for upwards of $2,000 a month. people here are viewing the anti-police protests from a far just how they want it. >> i think, you know, they have a right to protest but i disagree with the way they do it. i mean, the lynch mob mentality that they have downtown. >> reporter: baltimore is 60% black, 30% white and there is a stark racial divide here that can be traced to economics. but the real issue is jobs. and here in canton, the unemployment rate is less than 6%. but less than a 10 minute drive from canton here in the predominantly black part of baltimore the situation is much different. here nearly two out of every 10 african americans are without a job. this is one of baltimore's precome family black neighborhoods that's been in economic decline for years boarded up businesses a sign of how bad things are.

the. [ inaudible ] career group he had a 21 year career in the fbi too. good hoff you here this the studio. a lot of media focus is on the riots going not city. if we could take a step back and put it in to context and remember what it was all about. no evidence has surfaced yet has it, that freddie gray had broken any laws at the time that the police were trying to apprehend him right? >> none yet. there is an investigation that the city and state are conducting. should be completed by the beginning of may. right now all that's been reported and shown on at least one video taken is that when he saw police in the area he ranch the police pursued him. what happens next has not been a matter of public record. >> running from police, of course that doesn't offer ground for arrest according to what we understand from law prefoesprofessors quoting the 1991 rule that. doesn't mean you are guilt and i should be arrested. >> correct on that. that does not you are guilt and

i can be arrested. however, and again, depending on where this happens the circumstances, if somebody sees police and runs, the police could make an assumption he may be running because he committed a crime. so they want identify for who that individual s i will also say that freddie gray and we don't know what happens but he does have a rather lengthy narcotics criminal records there in baltimore the police may have known who he was and became suspicious when he ran but again, speculation at this point. >> again, i mean, doesn't that speak to or does it speak for a problem do you think that the police using their stop and search or stop and frisk powers overzealously, wrongly that you know regardless of what his past was if he hasn't done anything wrong, for him to then be apprehended in that manner and end up dead, something is wrong with the way that the police perhaps approach people, doesn't that say that? >> again, you have to look at each situation individually. there is an investigation it, will come out we'll see what happens on that.

six officers involved, taking statement from each. people who would have witnessed it. >> again, let's look at some of the fact here that i have dug out by the aclu. if you are a black person in baltimore, or you are a white person in baltimore you probably smoke marijuana about the same rate according to the fact. but you are 5.6 times more likely to be arrested for that offense than if you are white. is there not a racial element -- is there not something wrong with the way that law enforcement are approaching people in some of these states? >> when you look at statistics and you see that, yes that could indicate that there is a problem with that. no doubt, i mean, baltimore like many large cities in america, has its racial problems, this is just the latest flash point between race relations and law enforcement that we have seen in other cities just in the last nine

months or so because of incidents similar to this. >> a lot of work needs to be done to restore public confidence perhaps thanks so much for coming in and sharing your we are speculative. it you. >> you are welcome. to yemen now where aid agencies are warning that fees fighting making it difficult to get aid in to the country, some of the most intense battles are take is place in the city. taiz. forces royal to president hadi are engaged in heavy straight battles and trying to gain control of strategic positions including the hospital. saudi-led air strikes are pounding areas south the sanaa. the u.n. found that israel killed 44 people during the gas conflict last year. the inning fiery also found palestinian armed groups hid weapons a the three other empty u.n. schools in gaza, james bays reports from u.n. headquarters in new york. >> reporter: it was the most controversial part of israel's
