i believe happened is the police were you know they were holding lines and then they eventually kind of made a perimeter that took up four streets. so they were -- they were holding them and they were pushing them outward. so i think you know it was kind of that center and they were pushing them toward. >> dispersal. >> and that's how they got into other parts of the city. >> erika green from the baltimore sun who has done phenomenal reporting today. thank you for all your work today. really appreciate it. that is all in for this evening. the rachel maddow starts right now. >> good evening, chris, thanks man. thanks to you at home for joining this hour. we are live right now. i want to welcome you back to our continuing coverage confident rioting in baltimore tonight. baltimore tonight is in a declared state of emergency. larry hogan, governor, has declared a state of emergency activated the national guard. that could mean up to 5,000 national guards men and women

could be called upon to serve in this emergency enforcement capacity up to 5,000 military personnel could be among the law enforcement presence that will be attempting to restore order. that means the use of military vehicles and military gear including military weapons. >> ballot mort mayor stephanie rawlings black has called a nighttime city curfew starting tomorrow. nobody will be allowed on the streets between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. unless you're in a medical emergency or on your way to work. other than that, no one will be an allowed out. late tonight baltimore snaunsed schools will be closed tomorrow. and on the one hand that makes sense. on the other hand, that is going to pose a real conundrum for some parents. if you're a parent of school aged kids in baltimore and you can't get time off work with this late notice they only announced the schools would be closed pretty late tonight. if you can't get time off work so you have to go to work and you don't want your school age

kids to be unsupervised all day tomorrow in this environment, what do you do with your kids now that the schools will be closed all day tomorrow? it was when school let out today that the violence and looting started this afternoon. not long after the funeral was held for freddie gray the 25-year-old baltimore man who was arrested on april 12th and loaded into a police van. by the time he got to the police station, he reportedly had a neverly severed spine and a crushed voice box. mr. gray fell into a coma. he died a week later on april 19th. although baltimore has seen peaceful protests in the weeks since then and as you see tonight, many people in baltimore have been calling for peace, they've been even putting themselves between police officers and the enraged public we have also seen looting and vandalism. officeres the returned fire in some cases with those same bricks. in some cases with rubber bullets or other nonlethal

project trials and with tear gas. the chief says 15 law enforcement officers were injured in today's clashes, most of them minor but two injured seriously enough they are still hospitalized tonight. are in just the last hour we have heard from the family of freddie gray and the family's supporters. they've been appealing for calm and calling for an end to violence. the family's lawyer tonight spoke about the on going investigations into mr. gray's death. we don't want to rush to justice. we want justice. we want accurate fact finding no matter how long it takes as long as it doesn't get stretched out unreasonably. we want to know all the details of this investigation so that we can decide as a community what to do next. we're not interested in prejudging the situation. >> the lawyer for the gray family speaking late an tonight. beat also heard from the mayor

of baltimore stephanie rawlings blair, watch. >> with respect to how do we get to order. >> let's be great. the council president and i share the frustration of the negative images that are being shown of our great city but best believe we're going to use all of those images to hold the individuals who had destroying our city accountable. so once people start getting arrested for the looting, for the destruction, i think they will understand that this is not a lawless city. and the thugs and the i'm at a loss for words because it is idiotic to think that by destroying your city that you're

going to make life better for anybody. >> mayor of baltimore saying baltimore is not a lawless city. she also then later tonight gave a more ip prompt to you press conference in which she said we will bring order to chaos. we will bring justice speaking with reporters as she was out in the streets actually at the site of a fire that we've been seeing throughout the night tonight. that fire that we've been seeing is very large. three-alarm fire in east baltimore. the mayor as far as she's described said the fire is under investigation. it's still unclear whether or not that fire is connected to the riots in baltimore tonight or whether it is a coincidence that that fire broke out while there's so much unrest elsewhere in the city. also speaking in the last few minutes, the baltimore police commissioner made remarks and said he expects all the officers injured in today's protests to fully recover. there had been honestly there had been rumors that some of the officers who had been hurt or at least one of the officers had been hurt gravely enough that his life was threatened but the

commissioner speaking a few moments ago said he does expect all of the injured officers to recover. joining us now is nbc news producer frank thorp who has been on the ground in bat more all day. frank shot a lot of footage about what's going on in the street. thanks very much for your time. appreciate having you here. >> thanks for having me. >> a lot of the discussion tonight has been about how the group of people protesting today and rioting today was such a young group. and if they were young people that's raising lots of questions what that means for tomorrow. with schools being closed and curfew being imposed tomorrow night at 10:00 for everybody, 9:00 for people under 14. when you were out there today was it mostly teenagers who were in the real fray with the police officers? >> yeah, the majority of folks that seemed to be protesting did seem to be juveniles. the streets were pretty packed which makes it make sense

they're going to implement this curfew tomorrow. but the majority of people who were either around the cars that were burn org in the businesses that were being looted did seem to be younger, younger people. and the older people that were out there seemed to be trying to talk these younger people down. they seemed to be trying to say this isn't what we should be doing. i spoke to one woman who said that burning down that cvs, that's not the way that they need to be enacting change by burning down businesses. they can protest but by destroying pats of their city that's counterproductive. yeah it is a lot of juveniles but you know, the police commissioner did say they're confident that the additional resources they're going to have tomorrow once they get the national guard will help in making sure that tomorrow is not as intense as today is. >> and in terms of what to expect tomorrow obviously, that is going to be the big change. we are going to see an influx of

national guard troops out in the streets, and that means it it will be not just a militarized policing presence there. it will actually be the military in the streets, including up armored humvees and military weapons and military uniforms and everything that that psychologically entails for the people who will want to be protesting in that environment. when you were looking at these protests today and watching these confrontations did seem to you that the police were outnumbered, that they were outflanked that simply a larger number of law enforcement personnel in the streets would have made a difference? >> it did. it did seem like they were outflanked and it also seemed that they had decidedage of the to cede ground on these streets. there were a lot of places where i was driving with our security officer and there was looting happening on one corner looting happening on another corner. there was a car that was on fire next door and there was no cops anywhere nearby.

so they had really decided it almost seemed like a conscious decision to let this go tonight, to almost let these folks do this trouble and then tomorrow come in and really implement some rule of law. you know i mean but at the same time, like i said we were seeing -- we were at one corner in particular where there was a business located on one corner there was an ajaysent business being looted but there was also a group of people that were sweeping. they're like show us sweeping and cleaning up these roads because they want to be able to show it's not everybody that's doing this. it's not everybody that's destroyed the city. it's not everybody burning the car down. it's not everybody looting these businesses. >> frank thorp, nbc news producer. i know it's been a really long day for you out there today. thanks very much for joining us. i appreciate having you here. >> thank you. >> freddie gray's death last weekend after an falling into a coma from something as yet

unexplained which happened to him in police custody, that is the approximate cause of what blew up in the streets of baltimore today and tonight. but this is also just the latest in a recent string of police violence cases that have not just affected the communities directly involved. they've also blown up into a national conversation and at times a national crisis about police violence and how communities had respond to police violence and questions, difficult questions about police tactics and police strategy around communities of color, particularly when police forces themselves are not demographically representative of the groups that they're policing. and in that national conversation in that national arc you can almost put a marker on august 9th 2014 with the police shooting of michael brown, 1-year-old old and unarmed when killed by a police officer in ferguson missouri. his death led to weeks of protests over late last summer. in november a grand jury cleared the officer who shot michael brown of all charges in

conjunction with that killing. they decided not to indict that the officer and during the protests over that decision local businesses in ferguson missouri, were burned to the ground. another man, a grown man named eric garner on staten island new york he died after police put him in a chokehold while they were resting him for selling loose grets. he died a few weeks before michael brown was shot but the protests in ferguson seemed to amplify the response to his police involved death. thousands of people marched last summer to protest what had happened to garner and then when a grand jury decide the not to indict the police officers in his death in december the protests started again with people blocking highways and bridges. by then it was around the country for eric garner. meanwhile, police in cleveland responded to a call in a local park about a 12-year-old. 12-year-old boy name the ta mir rights had been playing with realistic looking air soft pellet gun. within a blink of pulling up to

him, less than three seconds one of the officers responding to the call shot and killed that 12-year-old boy. that was in november. nobody has been charged in rice's killing in cleveland. in february it was suburban madison, alabama when police stopped is your roesch bay patel after somebody reported a stranger walking through the neighborhood somebody they didn't recognize. patel was a grandfather who was in the neighborhood visiting his family. one of the officers slammed him to the ground so brutally it left him paralyzed. that officer was charged with third degree assault and felony civil rights abuse. that same month it, police in pass ca washington shot an unarmed man throwing rocks at them. seemed to be having an episode. they shot the man antonio 17 times as he ran away from them and the man died. nobody has been charged in that incident. last month in inkster, michigan floyd denton came forward to say he had been pulled over and badly beaten by local police. he was left with a fractured eye socket and broken ribs. it happened to him in january

but the tape of that beating has been playing on a loop in the detroit area since it surfaced just a few weeks ago. in that inkster case last week one of the officers was charged with felony mistreatment of a plimpber. the charge against mr. dent was erased. today we got video of the officers in the station house appearing to spray floyd dent's blood off their clothes exchanging fist bumps apparently celebrating how well the beating went for them. an attorney for mr. dent said his client was still needing urgent medical attention as the officers celebrated and blew off steam and at one point even reenacted a little bit of the arrest and the beating for each other. the beginning of this month, brought news of the shooting death of unarmed walter scott in new orleans charleston north carolina. that began with a' traffic stop and ended with a police officer shoot mr. scott multiple times as mr. scott ran away from him

across a vacant lot. the officer in that case has been charged with murder. as the nation was absorbing that news, oh look there's more. word came from tulsa, oklahoma that somebody holding the title of reserve deputy at the tulsa's sheriff's department had shot and killed a suspect in an undercover drug sting. this reserve deputy was a 73-year-old insurance executive. he says he meant to draw his taser but he mistakenly pulled his gun out and shot harris fatally. robert bates had been a long time donor to the sheriff's department. tulsa world reported that supervisors in the tulsa sheriff's office had falsified training records for mr. bates so allegedly he appeared to be qualified for certain duties when he was not. last week that reserve deputy robert bates pled guilty to a charge of man slotner that case and then the judge in the case allowed him to go to the bahamas for a family vegas before anything else happened. today in tulsa a top official in the sheriff's deputy resigned

once an internal memo had surfaced which showed him asking sfafrs to modify that reserve deputy's reviews and records about hours of training. that high ranking official stepped down today in tulsa. meanwhile, the tulsa sheriff's department also -- video showing the man who got killed by that reserve deputy in the days leading up to the day that they killed him. the video shows eric harris selling drugs to an undercover officer. he makes an arrangement at one point to sell the officer a gun. sheriff's department in tulsa said they released that video because the media had asked for it which could conceivably be true if anybody had known it existed but it's also totally irrelevant to the fact that that man was shot days later by tulsa reserve deputy. ferguson, missouri last summer when the ferguson police chief released video of 18-year-old michael brown from a convenience

store incident that happened before the encounter in which a police officer fatally shot him a totally unrelated incident which made michael brown look terrible which again happened of about he was killed and did not involve the officer who shot him. the police when they released the damning video of brown said the media had been clamoring for that tape. he couldn't cannot continue to withhold it. there doesn't appear to be any record at all that anybody asked to see that tape. so we've been living the story over and over. month after month, shooting off chokehold after beating. this little time line i just did is by no means complete. you just pick a calendar month in the last year or so google around and up pops a story and now increasingly a video of police violence on an unarmed man who is not white. day after day, season after season, city after city after city after city and now

baltimore. what we are seeing in this latest american city is the latest local manifestation of what is turning out to be a national crisis. it began earlier this month with that arrest of freddie gray on april 12th. we have video of that. i'm not going to play it over and over again as background material. it is short. this was april 12th. >> [ bleep ]. >> >>. >> after they tased like that. >> i've been recording this [ bleep ]. i've been recording it. i've been recording it. what car did they come out of, yo? him right there, he on a bike. >> i got it. don't worry about it. don't worry about it. >> the officers who arrested freddie gray on april 12th said

that he saw them and took off running. that's why they gave chase and stopped him. they loaded him into the van, as you saw, he seems to be screaming in pain as they put him into the van. whatever happened next whatever happened over the next 45 minutes, freddie gray eamericaned from that van with his spinal cord severed and his voice box crushed. one theory is that the baltimore police may have given olympian gray what they call a rough ride where they leave a suspect handcuffed but not buckled in but then they stomp on the brakes, whip the van around so that the suspect goes flying. more than one person has ended up paralyzed that way. but freddie gray ended.paralyzed and in a coma. he was arrested on april 12th. on april 19th one week later he decided. in the days after his arrest, baltimore saw a string of peaceful protests, as people came out chanting "black lives matter." a larger protest on saturday did

include some vandalism and some violence. 35 people were arrested in the saturday protests. six police officers were injured with minor injuries in that protest. but mostly city authorities were able to keep the peace without tuesdaying force and without taking too many people into custody. this is how the mayor of baltimore described things on saturday night. >> well, we've will these types of conversations before. and i worked with the police and instructed hem to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech. it's a very delicate balancing act because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the car and the other things that were going on we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that, as well. and we worked very hard to keep

balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate. and that's what you saw this evening >> that was baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake speaking on saturday about the protests then. the mayor and the police chief and freddie gray's family and local leaders all called for calm. appealed for peace. today they buried gray. there had been. calls for people not to protest on the day of his funeral. mr. gray's funeral began if the late morning. they buried him an out of the baptist church in baltimore. that church is near schools, near a large mall in northwest baltimore. when school let out today, this happened. local leaders on the ground tonight in baltimore say these clashes with police will began when schools let out and ankids flood the out onto the streets. people also set cars on fire smashed a police cruiser. they looted stores.

they hurled things at police who responded with rubber bullets and the an least one case by hurling projectiles back at the protesters. among the 15 officers reported to be injured one was reported this afternoon to be unconscious, nonresponsive. two officers we're told remain in the hospital tonight. the governor of maryland larry hogan has declared a state of emergency and activated the national guard. the city curfew in baltimore will be in effect for a week starting tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. the schools will be closed in baltimore tomorrow. and even at the looting continued till late tonight, the mayor tonight pledged to restore order in baltimore. the mayor saying she was heart broken by the destruction in her hometown, heart broken by the burning of astonishes where people in the neighborhood shopped and worked. and as we have seen in other cities that have gone through this there is a call out now tonight for people to plan for tomorrow morning to show up and clean up tomorrow morning from the riots tonight. we're going to post a link to

that at mad do you blog.com. we've got much more to come tonight. please do stay with us. with the best city fuel economy rating... the lincoln mkz hybrid. and who has one starting price for gas or hybrid? mkz hybrid again. mm-hmm. upstaged them. the lincoln luxury uncovered event is on. lease the mkz or mkz hybrid for $289 a month. plus for a limited time competitive owners and lessees get one-thousand dollars bonus cash. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

it was april 4th 1968 when of course, martin luther king jr. was assassinated outside his motel room in memphis, tennessee. what followed in reaction to his assassination was a series of riots across the country including in walt more maryland. over the course of eight days in april 196, six people were killed in baltimore, hundreds of people were injured. a thousand businesses were burned down or looted. a thousand fires were set. the governor of maryland at the time spiro agnew deployed thousand of national guard troops across the city of baltimore. tonight, almost five decades later, the city of baltimore is a different place but it is enraged in the streets again and national guard in the streets

again. in response to the rioting, throughout the city today the governor of maryland larry hogan, has declared a state of emergency and he did tonighting andty straight the national guard. >> we know how hard people work to be able to have the city that we know and love and to watch a group of criminals go through our city with an intent to destroy. what does that solve? i understand anger. but what we're seeing isn't anger. it's destruction of a community. the same community they say they care about, they're destroy. you can't have it both way. >> that was baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake. joininguous is baltimore city councilman brian mos by he represents district 7 where freddie gray was arrested and the area where many of the protests have been taking place.

appreciate having you here. >> thanks for having me on rachel. >> so it seems like the city is at least is a little quieter than it was this afternoon and in the early part of the evening. do you think people are tired out? do you think that there's stuff going on we don't know about or do you think things may be calming? >> i think it's a lot of stuff going on that you guys have no idea. you know it started all out in central west baltimore. my district. in in the 7th district but unfortunately it's continued to spread in different areas throughout the city and even going into baltimore county. >> in terms of the mayor's response tonight, she is saying this is a small group of criminals responsible for the violence tonight, violence she says which doesn't solve anything. nobody's fighting her on that, but there does seem to be disagreement as to whether or not this is outsiders who aren't from these neighborhoods who are taking advantage of the situation in order to just be

destructive or whether this is an uprising that is community based that is people rising up in their own community expressing their own rage maybe not in a constructive way but people from where they are protesting. what's your take on that? >> violence never brings justice. you know we saw earlier today that it's continued to grow and spill out in other parts of the city are young folks. our p i do not condone or prove a prove anything they've done. however, you know a lot of these kids are completely disconnected. 95% of the protests have been positive and productive. unfortunately we've seen on saturday night and now tonight and today some up productive and violent acts. it's really the children cry ig out. these children are from abject poverty, from areas that haven't gotten the type of education associated with the educational system. these hit-and-run feel hopeless. i think they joined the

movement. they got excited. but they really feel like there's no hope for them tomorrow. unfortunately, this is their voice. this is the voice of destruction, the voice is anger. so one, they must stop. we have to develop the tactical solution to try to make that stop. in order to heal our city we have to figure out how we can get to our children. at the end of the day when we're raids and born up our parents tell us you can be whatever you want to be in life. unfortunately we know that's not always true, depending on the area code and zip code you come from. the trajectory is not always the same. i'm not saying folks can't be different than the environments that they grow up in. yet, we understand and know the challenges that these children face on a daily basis and unfortunately, with the lack of education that some of them might have they're -- intellectual. the systemic policies that have plagued urban america not just

in baltimore but all throughout this country, that's what this is the culmination of. many folks want to tie it to freddie gray. freddie gray was the last straw for some of these children. >> in terms of what's going to happen in the very short term talking so eloquently councilman about the perspective of kids and teenagers in your district and in west baltimore, what do you think is going to happen tomorrow with schools being closed? it puts obviously a lot of families in a difficult position particularly if parents can't get time off the an short notice. i can imagine being a parent of a wealth baltimore teenager tomorrow and not wanting my child to be unsupervised and on his or her own tomorrow in this environment especially where these dangerous situations and provocative situations today. what's going to happen with the schools closed tomorrow? what do you expect of the kids of west baltimore? >> imagine if you're the parent of a first grader? i am. i mean you're right. it completely throws off the

day. i didn't take part in that decision to close schools. i'm not sure how that adds into a productive day. because what we've done basically for the folks who are causing the destruction who are causing the violence we've basically given them the day off. for the children who decided not to the participate but maybe decide to tomorrow their parents have to go to work. so i don't really understand and know the calculations behind that particular decision. and you know unfortunately, it's a time now that folks are being tested. at the end of the day, it's not like there's a playbook for this type of situation. i don't think we've seen a major urban city go up in flames on the way we've seen baltimore since the '60s. i think that there's been a lot of scrambling a lot of trying to develop policies and procedures on the fly and unfortunately, it just appears that we weren't really prepared for the way we should have been. >> nick mos by.

it's been a long stressful day for you. thank you for being with us tonight. good luck to you. >> thank you so much rachel. >> joining us now is my friend ben jealous from the naacp, currently a' partner at capehart capital. thanks for being here. >> it's good to see. >> you thinking about the policy decisions that have to be made at a time like this is there a template for good decision making by local leaders in times like this. >> look what we know is just some basic facts. we know that in most cities most of the mischief is dop by kids between 3 and 6:00 in the afternoon because the kids. >> first i thought i meant 3-year-olds and 6-year-old ooze. those tyrants. >> i've got one. between 3:00 and 6:00 in the afternoon. when you ex-expand that to the whole day, then you make things much harder. at the same time we also said that the folks in the guard may be good soldiers. but they're not experienced at

keeping peace in a city in our country in a civilian context. so you have folks who are not very experienced at being cops being brought in with military weapons. you have young people who would be in school who many of them quite frankly see their teachers more waking hours than their parents who could be left home by themselves. it's easy to say this may not be the best set of decisions for peace in the city. i think the councilman made a very good point. >> i don't envoy baltimore mayor, and the city council or the school district at any of the decisions they have to make in a scary situation for everybody involved. to the councilman's point he's saying we weren't ready. we're making decisions on the fly and maybe they aren't all great. you have tried to shepherd a number of different communities through unrest anding ander. >> that's right. >> are there best practices? >> certainly. look you don't add tinder to the fire and you don't pour gasoline, right? and the fear is that if you're

putting more young people out on the street in the midst of a moment like this the is your few doesn't go into effect till 10:00 p.m. but parents may leave at 7:00 a.m. you may be adding tinder. when you bring in the guard like this, you may be pouring gas. >> as you bates going to be a harder edge to the law enforcement. >> people who are inexperienced and further outside the community perhaps. you know and so there's a -- i think where the sins is coming right now is when people closest to the ground when you see the clergy calling and saying let's get out in the streets in our own community and take it back you know when you see calls happening as they're happening right now between clergy saying let's open our churches tomorrow so the kids have a place to go. >> that's happening tonight? >> yes. that's the sort of steps that you need to pull it together. >> that may ultimately end up being building blocks to not just dealing with this is a symptom but dealing with the community building stuff that needs to happen in order to solve the greater problem that has given rise to this in the

first place. >> quite frankly, there's the opportunity here to acknowledge. it's too easy to say these are criminals or thugs. these are. >> outsiders. >> these are our kids. you know congressman enfew may before he was 19 had been picked up more than a dozen times. you could have called him a criminal. he was a future congressman. we've got to acknowledge the truth. my family has lived in west baltimore for 80 years. my grandfather was a juvenile probation officer in the western district for more than 30 years. my cousin was on the force. the reality is we've seen law enforcement degrade over the last 30 years in baltimore in profound ways. there's an opportunity here for us to say look, these are all of our kids. let us treat them as if they are all of our kids. the real issue -- a pooh people trapped who are concerned that their kids will have worse

opportunities than they've had. let's figure out how to get the business community organized to start offering more jobs to people who live in the heart of west baltimore. we have people here who feel like the cops focus on what they are, poor black and not who they are. figure out how to get the cops out of the cars just like we did in los angeles after the riots, because other cities have burn in the last 40 years. and let's change the dynamic. what's happening tomorrow i think because all of us were concerned. people should be saying how can i help? what can my church do? what can i do? how do i convince my boss not to fire me so i can stay home not just for the sake of my kids but the other kids. that's ultimately what's most beautiful about west baltimore. in many ways we're still a community. folks still care most leadership historically has come out of the mccullough homes

housing projects off of pulaski street. folks may have moved out to ash burton but they can still come back to the heart of west baltimore tomorrow. and that's what's needed. >> i would make a proposal that any employers who have employees who live in baltimore, any parents who might have school aged kids tomorrow is an impromptu take your kid to workday. >> as somebody who runs the baltimore office of an investment firm i've said to my staff, we're all going down to the church because that's where we need to be tomorrow. we can handle our investments the next day or next week. >> baltimore institutions need to grow new legs really fast for this challenge. ben jealous, naacp, currently a partner. thanks for being here. >> we have much more to come from baltimore and some of the other news including a report from richard engel about rescue efforts following the earthquake in nepal. incredible footage. stay with us. ut zero-turn mowers.

as we continue our coverage cough unrest in the streets of baltimore tonight, we're going to have a report in just a moment from richard engel in nepal where increasingly desperate search and rescue efforts continuing following saturday's earth wake which is thought to have claim more than 4300 lives. there's nearly a ten-hour time difference between here and nepal. that he ahead of us here on the east coast. there is morning there now. we've got a report on rescue

time he the shooter was technically king for a minute. until then, he died, too. the country was already in the grips of a communist insurgency and a countrywide civil war by then. the massacre of the royal family by one of its own members pushed the naths of nepal yet further into crisis. they're technically a post monarchy country now the. the government of nepal such as it is doesn't have great reach into most of the country. infrastructure is pretty terrible. nepal is a very, very, very beautiful part of the world, are but its people as a nation are fairly vulcanized. the country is about the same physical size as iowa. its population speaks more than 120 different languages. outside the capital of kathmandu, communities don't have much of a connection to each other also in some cases don't have much of a connection to their country as a whole. that is partly a function of the

strange and dysfunctional and violent politics in nepal. it's also partly a function of topography if i. what physically separates many of the far flung communities are some of the highest mountains in the world. terrible roads. and landslides is a feature of everyday life. the most active and most tectonic fissures anywhere in the world. nepal is split in half by a fault line that earthquake experts have feared for decades could produce one of the world's largest earthquakes. in one of the countries least able to handle it because of lax building standards and lacking basic infrastructure and also the lack of basic governing capacity to be able to handle a crisis of huge international typhoon. the quake that hit nepal on saturday morning is being blamed so far for the deaths of more than 4300 people. nbc's richard engel is in kathmandu right now.

communications in and out of nepal even by satellite have been very difficult today and tonight. we asked him to file this for us just tonight for his reporting today. >> rachel, what's amazing this about this story is even three days after this earthquake when we speak to military officials medical officials, they have no idea of the scale of the problem. they are all concerned that they're going to eventually reach some village or town cut off because the roads are blocked because it's inaccessible because of avalanches or land slides and that they're going to find that the town has been destroyed and all the people killed. they are very cautious about the death toll. now they talk about 4,000. but they are very worried that in the coming days as they learn more, that the number could rise dramatically. this is the moment nepal was brought to its knees. the jake left thousands dead. and much of this already poor country without power. short of clean water, centuries

old temples fell. here in kathmandu, the historic town center was is devastated. many are staying out doors in parks and on the streets terrified of repeated aftershocks. two or big ones today. nepal has mobilized its troops for relief work. volunteers desperately dig by hand. this person used to come to this very spot to have coffee in the shade of a temple. >> it's my country. my people. >> mostly they're searching for bodies in these piles. >> unexpected. a man pulled out alive today. international rescue teams have finally arrived. getting outside the capital is a struggle. roads blocked, helicopters in short supply. nbc's ian williams reached one town just outside the capital. >> many so of the worst damage is around these narrow alleyways

of where there already few buildings which haven't been impacted by quake. this one promised up precariously by pieces

tough times, that does it for us now. msnbc's coverage of the situation continues now with chris hayes, and "all in". good evening live from new york, i'm chris hayes, the unrest continues at this hour in the streets of baltimore city reeling after a day of rioting and looting broke out following the funeral of freddie gray the 25-year-old man who died
