magazine. a suspect arrested during a raid in belgium last week has been charged with participation in the terrorist organization and possession of explosives. but his lawyer says he's not a terrorist. eaves just he was just delivering a pair of shoes to a friend. in all, five bem gum nagsll nagsgium nationals have facing charges and an algerian man was arrested wanted on terrorism charges. authorities are racing to identify and arrest suspects who may be a part of a terrorist cell. meanwhile hundreds of troops are protecting jewish sites throughout the country and muslims are on guard, as well. phil black reports from bem gum. >> reporter: soldiers and children side by side on the streets of a european city. these belgium paratroopers were trained to fight wars. instead, they stand guard outside a jewish school. the military is now a highly
10:02 am
visible presence in the jewish district. locals are grateful. >> not only we but everyone in europe is the rob especially and i'm thankful for them doing their best.rob especially and i'm thankful for them doing their best. >> reporter: 108diers deployed after investigators moved to break out a suspected terror plot to attack police. two suspects were killed during this firefight. belgium's jewish community also believes it's high up on the list of potential islamic targets. last year, a man stormed a jewish museum in brussels killing four people inside. >> it's dangerous to walk on the street. people are afraid to send their kids to jewish school. >> reporter: members of the muslim community are also scared about what will happen now. frank hench is the imam at a mask where terrorists opened fire thursday night.
10:03 am
he tells me locals are shocked to know terrorists might have been living among them. belgium has a problem with radicalization. around 300 are thought to have travelled to syria to fight and train with islamist groups. the highest per capita rate of recruitment of any european country. the imam blames social problem, unemployed alienated young men who seek identity and purpose through radical islam. jewish community leaders agree. >> more security and police and to see the problem before if comes and to try to prevent it. >> reporter: the rabbi says the answer is more education and more guns. he wants jewish institutions to be allowed to establish their own security forces. imam hench fears many of europe's muslims will now be
10:04 am
persecuted because offof events in france and belgium. two scared communities struggling to respond to the terror deliberately created by a radical few. >> >> phil black joins you live. where do things stand with the investigation? >> reporter: well, crucially a key arrest in athens greece where greek police acting upon information provided by belgium authorities have arrested man and belgian investigators want to extradite him back here they say he's a 33-year-old algerian but they have not revealed what role they believe he played in the terror blot thatplot they broke up last week. during those raid, there was a raid in the property the of verviers where two were killed a third arrested. he survived that shoot-out, but we've spoken to him, learned a little -- his lawyer i should
10:05 am
say. learned a little bit more about him. and he dozens any involvement in this terror plot. he said the only reason he was at that property at that time is because he was doing a favor for his mother delivering he says a pair of shoes, nike oig runners to one of the men who then died during the police raid. when the shooting started, he dived out the window insists he has nothing to do with it, but he remains in custody. >> phil black, thanks very much. let's get more. we'll bring in two experts. paul crookshank and peterburg man. paul, i know you're talking to sources in belgium. what are you hearing? >> there is still a threat out there. they are worryied that part of
10:06 am
the cell is still operational. it's not clear whether they have the key guy in greece. i think the indication is at this point that this middle man with links back to isis is still at large. that it's something else in custody in athens and being extradited back to belgium. they brought american intelligence services in on this last week because of the eaves drop to goping to try to locate this middle person. but the americans weren't able to find him, greeks weren't able to find him. it's possible he's left greece at this point. and throughout europe there is concern that people connected to this cell in brussel, people who come back from syria and there are some 500 that have come back fighters may also move toward launching terror attacks. there is an assessment from the europeans that isis is pivoting forward prioritizing terrorist attacks against countries in europe launching air strikes. united kingdom and france and holland and denmark, as well as
10:07 am
belgium. >> so they're on a higher letthreat level. it looks throughout europe, these other countries are arresting people as well including germany. >> yeah so we've had an unprecedented flow of for fighters to syria. brits have 500, they can't follow all those. we've had of course in belgium the events that we've seen unfold germans have had a significant number. there isn't a country in europe that hasn't had dozens or scores even small countries like denmark or scan davian countries. so it's a big problem. on the other hand we're aware that the problem exists in a way that we weren't after the afghan war which produced osama bin laden and other folks that attacked the united states and other western targets. so there has been a huge law enforcement effort that has been going on to try to manage this u you
10:08 am
though belgium well. it's particularly vulnerable. why is that? >> one of the roepeasons there are so many bell goodgians that have gone to fight in syria, a couple of hundred fighting in syria now one rope is that there was a pro isis support group which early on sent recruits from belgium to syria to join isis. and of course once people are there, it's easier for others to go and joan asin. and many are on trial and the vertd was actually expected the day before this operation in verviers against this group. so some speculation there could be some connection there. many of those on trial in an twerp actually on trial in an sten sha. >> all right.
10:09 am
guy, stand by. we'll stay on top of this will story. we're also watching active developing situation in yemen right now. very disturbing developments. the prime minister there went into hiding as heavy fighting between rebels and government forces erupted around the presidential palace. and there is another developing story we're watching, as well. turns out the united states according to these reports infiltrated north korea's computers years before the hack at sony. and bobby jindal will be joining us live. he's in london. we'll talk about some of his controversial comments. vo: 85 percent of people who travel will go someplace they've already been. where's the fun in that? it's time to find someplace new.
10:10 am
book the hotel you want with the flight you want and we'll find the savings to get you there. i've always loved exploring and looking for something better. that's the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop.
10:11 am
seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. alright, so this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this?
10:12 am
how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain. you only know in a fire to get out, to escape and now ok you are outside and you are safe but what do you do now and that's where the red cross came in... . we ran out of the house just wearing our pajamas. at that point just to even have a toothbrush that i could call my own was so important... . ...you know it just makes you feel like a person again. every 8 minutes the american red cross responds to a home fire or other emergency. you can help. please donate now.
10:13 am
an incredibly tense situation in sanaa. yemen government and houthi have agreed to a cease-fire. heavy fighting erupted around the presidential palace, each side blaming the other. a very complicated story, but we have two people who will help us sort it all out. our senior international correspondent nick paton walsh is joining us from sanaa. only western tv journalist on the ground risking his life being there. and also bob beyer joining us from telluride. the latest i've heard nick there is almost like a coup attempt under way in sanaa chief of staff to the president, was he captured by these rebels the u.s. military is on stand sdlt by. set the creepscene for us nick.
10:14 am
>> reporter: it makes you wonder how much the government is holding on to the raineins power. new any said houthi said they took the chief of stand. there are check points all over the city. clashes began. we don't know who started it. and we started a remarkable sight, heavy artillery among a building that if you control, you control the country. they tried to talk a cease-fire, but the prime minister's convoy was attacked. houthi representative was also attacked. state tv, state news agencies were under houthi control, houthis denied that.
10:15 am
government controlled that a coup attempt. there is now a cease-fire. it's been relatively quiet for a few hours. the real fear these closed door talks, it couldkoocould start overnight. >> i know the u.s. embassy is a little removed from the presidential palace there in sanaa, but the u.s. military clearly now on stand by for a possible evacuation orders of the american embassy. there are american dip lowe matts, military personnel, u.s. marines. a lot of civilians, ngos and others there. ifs u.s. has to evacuate, that's a risky operation. >> absolutely. they have to send in c-7 large airplanes, you can't do it by helicopter safely.s anis an air force unit that
10:16 am
can do this. what we're seeing is a full flemg flemged civil war. and our intelligence collection in yemen will suffer greatly. if we'll target al qaeda without an embassy, it's virtually impossible. you can watch these targets from the air, you can listen to cell phones. but it's nothing like having a central government aiding you in this war on terror. and with the i can't them -- >> if the government collapses ukap which is based where you are, presumably they will have a much freer hand to do what they want. >> certainly they have a foot hold in yemen initially because of the chaos heave and the issue really is the houthis are on
10:17 am
which facing sunni groups. so that has many sue anysunnis worried. and effectively that has given al qaeda a bit of breathing room on the ground.and effectively that has given al qaeda a bit of breathing room on the ground. so their intern x. sternexternal operations can concentrate on attacks on the west. so it's harder to track down the drones. all the chaos here benefits code in the arabian peninsula and that's the real concern as to what we're seeing unfold in sanaa today. >> all right. nick be careful over there. nick paton walsh in yemen. the only western television reporter in yemen right now. bob beyer, thanks very much to you, as well. we'll see what happens. we know the contingency planning is under way for a possible,
10:18 am
possible u.s. evacuation of american diplomats and military personnel, civilians in yemen. clearly a major, major source of concern. up next we're getting new details on why the u.s. believed north korea was directly responsible for that hack on son any oig pictures. and later, why the government of louisiana is in london right now, bobby jindal talking about the threat from islamic extremists. he's standing by to join us live. .. ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

10:22 am
quickly pointed the finger at north korea. but not everyone in the cyber security community bought into the theory. some saying it was a disgruntled former sony oig employee. now we're learning that the obama administration was so confident about north korea being the culprit, it was so confident because it had access to the country's cyber networks. barbara starr has been tracking the story for us and joinings live. the "new york times" reporting extensively on a program by the nsa hacking in effect going into north korea's computers. tell us what is going on here. >> well, the "new york times" makes some fascinating points. when this all emerged and president obama fingered north korea for the sony hack every wondered how could the u.s. be so certain. the u.s. doesn't typically make these accusations, they don't
10:23 am
bring it out right in public. but from the president on down the administration was certain. and the "new york times" reporting now we know why that the national security agency that top secrets eavesdropping agency, if you will of the united states government back starting in 2010 had basically done its own hacking job and it cracked into the chinese networks according to the "new york times" that the north koreans use to hook themselves up essentially to the web. it's their link to the outside world to the internet, that the u.s. inserted malware in there and was able to ten to track north korean cyber spies and north corekorean moves. the question is how soon did the u.s. really know about the details of the sony hack. by all accounts they did know but did they know soon enough to be able to warn sony.
10:24 am
it appears they did not. they did not know with that says physicality, it was only after the fact when they went back and tracked everything down that they were able to put all the pieces together. but still a fascinating look into how this world of cyber spying really works. >> it really is a fascinating look at that. is it safe to assume now what now that everybody knows that the u.s. had spoesedly hacked into the north korean cyber world that that whole thing has been shut down? what are the ramifications of this will revelation? >> this is the typical problem. they either have to be shut down or they become so useless because the person -- agency the government that you're spying against knows you're there and they find an alternative means for their communications. what are the chinese doing about it may be very interesting. and we honestly candidly do not know the answer to that at this point because it's everyone's
10:25 am
understanding that north korean's interaction in the sign are world goes through links provided by china. china has at various points become shall we say, annoyed with north korea and its efforts. whether the chinese have been able to control what the north koreans are doing, we don't know and we don't know if the u.s. is still engaging in these cyber spying through those chinese links. >> all right, barbara, thanks very much. up next bobby jindal will be joining me live from london, why he's raising alarms about know go zones in western europe. we'll get to the reaction he's been receiving. hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah.

10:30 am
sergeant of arms announced you and you're reminded of the incredible privilege that you have. >> the president is expected to pitch several new program tax credits for the middle class, paying for them with higher taxes on the wealthy new fees for big bank as well. former presidential nominee mitt romney is set to speak at a pricht private event tonight in california. he said on multiple occasions that he doesn't plan to pursue another bid for the white house, but now a different tune romney saying he's at least considering another run. and there is new evidence that conservatives want him to run. 6 out of 10 republicans in a recent news poll supported a romney 2016 bid, compare that to 50% supporting jeb bush at least running, 29% supporting chris christie. let's bring in the host of cnn's the lead. jake tapper. a lot of us have already
10:31 am
concluded that mitt romney is giving all the appearances he's going to run. >> it certainly looks as though he's giving it a serious shot. i've spoken to a number of advisers who say that he is very seriously contemplating it. he goes across the country they say and people talk to him grass roots supporter, people who voted for him last time and they want him to run. think about this wearay, what kind of election will it be. it probably will be after two terms of one president it will probably be a change reaction. that's what nfc in 2000 and in 192. it will probably be a change election. well in the view of romney supporters who better represents a change from barack obama than mitt romney. he is somebody who is well-known. he's somebody who has an a. national reputation some who showed he can get the reputation before and definitely represents positions contrary to that of our current president. p. >> and he has a new focus on
10:32 am
poverty right now. some say not a new poll cussfocus, but he deals with pofrverty. >> and some and i he's had troubling communicating empathy for people in dire circumstances. the 47% comment and even after the elect, how obama won by giving free things to all sorts of minority groups. but i think this has a lot more to do with the fact that even though the economy is going if the right direction and unemployment is down a lot of jobs coming back are low wage jobs and the income sgapgap is growing. whether republicans decide mitt romney is the best messenger that remains to be seen. but there is room for someone whether sanders or mitt romney to talk about problems on our
10:33 am
economy. >> it's interesting because a lot of his supporters are saying what he was saying when he was running for president the last time around was basically true he got a lot of grief for suggesting that you remember when he said russia was america's number one geopolitical foe. but now they're saying maybe he was right. >> some of the things he's said have bornborne, whether it comes to russia although the united states does work with russia closely on other issues. but then there is also syria, the mess of syria. and the many people not just mitt romney, but some democrats, many republicans in congress saying that the united states should have intervened. there are other areas where president romney would have been off, a president romney would have been off. he did not predict that the economy would be doing as well as it is right now. but certainly that's one of the things that mitt romney is hearing as he travels the country. people are saying you were right about this you were right about
10:34 am
that, that's one of the things making him consider running again in 2016 this time. >> presidential campaigns, they're moving ahead very quickly. >> one other thing, ronald reagan ran three times. that's something romney supporters point out. third time was the charm. >> thanks very much. jake will have a lot more on this. check in the lead 4:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. coming up bobby jindal is the governor of louisiana, he's in london and we'll discuss some of his comments, some finding them controversial. startup-ny. it's working for new york state. already 55 companies are investing over $98 million dollars and creating over 2100 jobs. from long island to all across upstate new york, more businesses are coming to new york. they are paying no property taxes no corporate taxes no sales taxes. and with over 300 locations, and 3.7 million square feet available, there's a place that's right for your business. see if startup-ny can work for you.

he was one of the charlie then"charlie hebdo" attackers. the source says that it was one of several missteps revealed by the ongoing investigation. french authorities say dna from two people was found on amedy coulibaly's belongings. one was found on the car that transported coulibaly near the kosher supermarket in paris that person is now in custody. another dna sample was found on a gun magazine. five belgium nationals are facing terrorism characterges. two more are in custody. greek authorities have arrested an algerian man wanted this belgium. meanwhile louisiana governor and potential presidential contender has been in london pespeaking out about claims that muslim immigrants have create what had he calls the no go zones across
10:39 am
europe. the governor said and i'm quoting, in the west nonassimilation muslims carry out as much of a rea law without regard for the laws of the democratic countries. it is startling for think that any country would allow even unofficially for a no go zone. the governor is joining us now live. your remarks are creating a lot of criticism, some calling it hate mongering. explain exactly what you're trying to tell all of us when you're describing these so-called no go zones. >> absolutely. speaking the truth we'll make people upset even today in the daily mail, you had a local police achieved a mitt that it there are no into zones here in london. here is the biggest point.
10:40 am
radical islamists hate our values. they threaten our way of life. they don't appreciate they don't condone, they don't allow freedom of expression self determination. anybody that thinks you should be killed for you drawing a car tonight oig cartoon is somebody that we need to hunt down that we need to get rid of in our societies.car cartoon is somebody that we need to hunt down that we need to get rid of in our societies.ar cartoon is somebody that we need to hunt down that we need to get rid of in our societies.r cartoon is somebody that we need to hunt down that we need to get rid of in our societies. cartoon is somebody that we need to hunt down that we need to get rid of in our societies. s big issue with nonassimilation, people want to come to our country but noted a distant or language or our language or want to set apart hair their own enclaves. i think that's dangerous. it's dangerous in america and in europe. it used to be normal to call america the great meltth meting pot. now because of political correctness, some think it's arrogance that you should want to be americans.
10:41 am
so my point is we have a huge challenge in those that don't want to assimilate don't want to integrate. quite prapg lyfrankly, we have a right for say if you want to pursue the american dream, we welcome you. however, if you don't we don't want you in your country. >> but you're not saying there are no into zones in the united states. you're you're suggesting there are no into zones in the united kingdom and a lot of people are pressing you. where are those no into zones, what specific locations are you talking about? >> you're exactly right. look you had a police chief here in london today say to the "daily mail" there are neighborhoods, i'm not talking about entire cities but neighborhoods where women come not feel comfortable walking without veils sveils. we wouldn't tolerate that in
10:42 am
america. if we continue to allow people coming in without assimilation this is what lies in our future. in america it's become politically correct to say that this is a religious can i have. this is not a religious difference. we need muslim leaders to denounce these radical islamists and not only condemning the vie lists, saying they're not martyr they will not reward in the after life. somebody who uses military tactics to kill women, children men simply because they drew a cartoon or for other offenses we need luz him leaders to condemn these individuals. not just the acts of violence but the these individuals. >> are these neighborhoods that you're talking about, these so-called no go zones, are they in london birmingham other cities? have you spoken to british law enforcement about this? >> i've heard all day we have
10:43 am
met with elected officials and others and again, a british police official a local police chief has made these comments in the local press. it's not a surprise here that there are areas where the police are less likely to go there are areas where women feel they have to wear veils. but the bigger point is that radical islam is absolutely a threat to our way of life. is this a group we must hunt down and kill and secondly we need to promote assimilation and entake grace. it's no longer stepable. i'm talking about for example how we educate our children about american exceptionalism insisting on english insisting on adhere reps to our values about sharia law is completely incompatible with western notions of equality, of human dignity dignity. it's completely incompatible. and we need to recognize radical islam for the real threat that it is. >> in your home state of louisiana, have muslims been appropriately assimilated
10:44 am
imsgrapts sim immigrants who have come to louisiana? >> we've passed outright bans on a sha sharia law. across measure,america, we're beginning to lose our way. we're not a melting pot, we're a salad bowl. you've heard liberals and the left say it's arrogant to say people learn our english, our values. this is just an equally valid way. that's nonsense. when my parents came to louisiana over 40 years ago, they came so they could be americans. they love our heritage but they didn't want us to be growing up indians. if we were we would have stayed in indians. instead, they said you are americans. p not high high if a natured. we're all americans. and that is dreamily sporpts. i think immigration shouldn't be done on race color or nonsensical divisions. it should be based on if people
10:45 am
want to pursue freedom and opportunity, work hard, get a great education, enjoy that freedom, that should be how we determine who we let in and who we don't let in. so it used to be acceptable to talk about the american dream american exceptionalism western values. what i feel is that political correctness is driving us to pretend like these differences don't matter and it's equally acceptable to adopt sharia law, equally acceptable to reject these notions of our jew day owe christian heritage that has made us so unique and continue to allow us to lead our lives.day owe christian heritage that has made us so unique and continue to allow us to lead our lives. >> we can all be proud to be americans, but also of proud of our ethnic heritage. >> absolutely. look america is a majority christian country and no penalty for those of different faiths. absolutely. but we're americans. and the reason we came here is
10:46 am
we knew this was a unique place and we should insist on those that come into our country, what worries me is we have second third, fourth generation immigrants who now identify themselves in another country or in their own cultural group, they either want to change our culture or set up their own culture. and it is a bigger problem in europe. but if we're not careful, we will see the same challenges in america, as well. that's what worries me this political correctness and especially among the left that seems to want to insist that there is nothing unique about america or it is arrogant to insist that people coming to our country share our language and understand they're coming to be american not to change our country to look more like what they want which involves sharia law, unequal treatment of women and other types of oppression. >> i want to be precise. you're not backing away have your comments about there being various no go zones in the united kingdom? >> not at all. and i'm also making a bigger
10:47 am
maybe e67bven more controversial point that rad cam cal islam is a big threat and we need insist that people coming in to our country adopt our values adopt our language and understand they're coming to become americans or in this case the citizens of the uk coming to be europeans. and i think that assimilation that intakeegration is so important. >> do you want to be president of the united states governor? >> well, i'll continue to think and pray about it and make the decision in the next few months. i think the country needs big change. the preeminent issue will be restoring the american dream for our children and grand children. it's becoming harder and harder for our kids to enjoy and become part of the middle class through hard work and a great education. i think this president has tried to make the american dream about redistribution and government
10:48 am
dependence, not hard work and effort and opportunity. i think folks looking for a governor with executive branch experience. so we are thinking and praying about it very seriously. we'll make that decision soon. >> governor jindal thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. always great to talk to you. and as the nation celebrates the birthday of dr. martin luther king jr., movie goers are still going in droves to see "selma". just ahead, i'll be speaking to one of the film's actors and martin luther king iii.
