the city of baltimore, hoping that they have seen the last of scenes like this. a major decision today to lift the curfew that's been in effect since tuesday. mayor rawlings-blake making the announcement, saying the situation changed in the city. all this as she continues to face criticism over her handling of the protests over the last week. the governor of maryland calling today a day of prayer and peace. reaching out to the community. we'll look at what needs to be done to start the healing there. good day to everyone there. it's 3:00 p.m. in the east. high noon in the west. i'm richard, here with extended

coverage on a sunday. we're following running stories. the top story is baltimore. mayor stephanie rawlings-blake withdrawing the curfew. take a listen. >> i think a lot of the unrest has been settled, settled down, in the sense of the protests. but that doesn't mean the work doesn't continue. we are actively engaging with the department of justice on collaborative review. we have been, since last year, in the process of improving our police department, reforming our police department, and putting in place things that will eliminate this type of incident from ever happening again. >> joining me now from baltimore, joy reid. good morning. or good afternoon. the hours have gone past me, and i can't count them at this moment. what's the reaction been to the message from the mayor? >> reporter: richard, in a word,

relief. people believe the curfew should have been long over. i can recall last night, a couple nights ago, friday night, they weren't even protests. it was more like a party and rally going on at pennsylvania and north avenues. people didn't understand why that had to end at 10:00. of course, there was a fight this weekend that people weren't able to do what they'd normally have been doing. having fight parties, going to each other's homes. there were complaints they weren't sure the curfew was evenly being applied. people were tweeted pictures of themselves defying the curfew in affluent areas. people in the pennsylvania and north avenue area felt the military and police were focused on them. many people are released. the governor, larry hogan, said he's glad it over so the city can get back to work and mom and pop businesses can start making money again. >> a lot of them keeping their stores closed just because other

businesses were doing the same thing. we've got the message, which you're describing, the reaction to the message. what about the feeling of the messenger? the individual that gave the message itself? that is the mayor. now the focus goes back to her, doesn't it? >> reporter: absolutely. on thursday, a group of national civil rights leaders came to support stephanie rawlings-blake, naacp and others gave her backup, support. on the ground at pennsylvania and north avenues, not a lot of good things being said about the mayor. where we same from, a catholic church, people critical of the way she's handled things. i think the thugs comment, which she took back, hit people hard. it seared into a lot of members of the community who are not willing to forgive her for that. and the curfew itself, i think, as it went on and the protests and the curfew turned out not to be violent at all, people were

wondering why it was imposed. then, of course, you have people on the other side questioning why she's lifting it early. it's going to be a tough sled for stephanie rawlings-blake. she has to regain trust in the community. >> while they're feeling better about the lifting of the curfew, not necessarily the same feeling about the mayor, stephanie rawlings-blake, at the moment. there is also this. the new nbc news-wall street journal pole, 96% of americans expect more racial unrest across the country this summer. what does that say about the tensions not only in baltimore, but the other cities you have reported from over the past year that have some reflections of what you've seen there in baltimore just within the last week? >> reporter: richard, you can go back to sanford, florida, when police failed to arrest

zimmermann. this started from there. a lot of people in this community mentioned trayvon martin, even now, and mentioned him in the same breath as freddie gray. we're talking about decades and decades, generational complaints of african-american communities about police, about just basic rudeness and treating people as if everyone in the community is a criminal. we spoke with one bail bondsman. i got into a conversation with him. he said the concern a lot of people have is there are the rules about the way police are supposed to act. the way they're trained in the academy. then there's the way they actually behave when they are trained to go into the communities that have, let's face it, a lot offish shoo y is. they're not using the same tactics they were trained with. people are saying, it's not a matter of training necessarily. it's the way a lot of police officers -- certainly not all of them -- but the way police officers view the community and treat individual people. there's also the concern -- we had a lot of people say to us, it was ironic that pennsylvania north, there were all these police stopping people from

being outside, and no police down the street dealing with drugs. >> right behind you yesterday, we saw people dancing. this was during the rally, just about the same hour, 3:00 in the afternoon. what's the mood like there in front of city hall? >> reporter: i can tell you that most churches are letting out about now. this would be the time a lot of black churches would be getting out. we have a lot of people streaming in for the rally that's being put together by the local churches and inter-faith rally for unifying the community. the mood is upbeat. it's warm. have the sleeveless on. it's been cold, rainy and hail since we've been down here. everyone is thankful for the weather. people seem happy. the community is upbeat and they feel unified. there is a lot of love now for the state attorney. a lot of people feel that marilyn mosby shocked the world and gave renewed confidence and rare confidence to a community

that, like a lot of communities around this country, have been hurting. let's face it, richard, this goes back to the '50s and '60s. almost every riot in the '60s when it wasn't about martin luther king jr. being assassinated was about police-community tension. there is not a new problem, and stephanie rawlings-blake would argue it's not something she created but it is a problem that needs to be addressed nationwide. >> thank you, joy. appreciate that. of course, always, your reporting. larry hogan is calling for a day of prayer and peace throughout the state. this morning, the governor along with the archbishop attended a church service in the city. hogan highlighted the role of the faith leaders during this time of crisis. >> i've seen incredible acts of kindness. i saw neighbors helping neighbors. i've seen the community that cares about each other. it's a great way to end the week. with a day of prayer and peace

and reconciliation. that's what this is all about. >> i want to bring in marilyn delegate elect, antonio hayes. that's for being with us. how have faith leaders helped change the tone in baltimore over the course of this week? we're now on the first sunday since that big explosion, if you will, of energy on monday and the looting of the cvs. we're now on the day seven since then. >> right. thank you, richard, for having me. faith leaders have stepped up from the beginning. shortly after much of the looting and everything went on in the community, i walked with a couple of faith leaders from a baptist church and ministers from all around the city have stepped up to the plate. urged the communities and parishioners for a sense of calm and peace in the community. yesterday, i joined some faith leaders just a block away from the intersection of pennsylvania

and north avenue. who was deliberating food to the members of the community. they've done a good job at stepping up to the plate. we hope they continue in the next couple weeks. >> delegate elect, there are two real messages that i took away from when i was reporting in the streets yesterday there in baltimore. the first one is, we don't trust our elected officials. we don't like our mayor. we don't like the council members, as well. for that matter, media included. what will it take to get their trust back now? this has been a consistent question of many baltimoreans. >> it's interesting. richard, i've been elected to serve many of the communities that were mostly affected, and i've only been in office the last 109 days. but i think being in this position, especially serving as a former member of a previous administration mayor's office, the mayor has a tough job.

when things hit the fan, they look at who is at the top and who is the city executive. they don't give you a manual on how to deal with public unrest. i believe that all of us have a responsibility to reach back into the community and work in partnership to rebuild baltimore. >> i remember one of the baltimore metropolitan area residents saying, we don't trust them because we don't believe that they remember us. the every day baltimore resident after they become elected. they were pointing their fingers at all of the council members, all of the elected officials that they had put into office themselves. so they do -- >> absolutely. >> -- hold responsibility. the question is, do all elected officials need to be thrown out, as they were asking for and have been asking for, many of them there in the protests? >> i don't think so. i'm part of a new class of

elected officials, just like marilyn mosby, who was just elected recently. my campaign was heart fought. when i ran, one of the candidates was unsuccessful in his bid. part of the success of our campaign, i knocked on 13,339 doors. part of that was, people felt like sometimes elected officials get disconnected. because i was meeting them on their doorstep, they felt like at least there is somebody we want to give a chance, that is willing to come into our community and hear who we are. over the last three or four days, i've been at senior centers, while other elected officials, many are my colleagues who traveled around the state of maryland, who don't have the constituency that i share in baltimore city, but they've come from prince george, montgomery county, frederick county, to lend a helping hand to the citizens here.

i think whether you're an elected official in baltimore city or somewhere else in the state of maryland, people are looking to those relationship-building opportunities to have confidence in those who propose to represent them in city hall and washington, d.c. elected officials also have to be willing to go the extra step to make sure -- >> let's go -- another elected official that has been very much present there in baltimore as we've been through the last week, elijah cummings. listen to what he said earlier at a church service. >> our children are the living messages. we send to a future we will never see. as i said as gray's funeral, the sad part about it now is so often our children are sending us to a future they will never see. we got to turn that around. >> how do you turn that around?

>> you turn it around by, you know, getting into the neighborhoods. over the last three days, whether it be churches or at a local rec center, we've distributed 50,000 pounds of food. there was no campaign signs there. there was no police. no security. no media there. but you begin by getting on the ground and meeting people at their basic needs. a lot of the communities have lost valuable assets, like their local cvs. cvs in baltimore not only served as just a store. because we have food deserts, where people have a limited access to fresh groceries, it was their grocery store, pharmacy, convenient store amongst other things. i think people in the community are looking forauthentic.

they want to know you feel some of what they're going through. >> a good example of what you're talking about, there was one young lady, washington, who did for the first time volunteer at one of the food banks you were talking about. she came to talk to us yesterday. we hope to get more of that, don't we. thank you for being with us today. >> thank you for having me. >> in washington this morning, strong reactions to the situation in baltimore as well. house speaker john boehner appearing on "meet the press" came down hard on the six officers charged in the death of freddie gray. >> you believe we're in a national crisis when it comes to the relationship of african-americans and law enforcement? >> i do. if you look at what's happened over the course of the last year, you have to scratch your head. when you hear about these charges that have been brought -- >> charging homicide for freddie gray.

>> public servants should not violate the law. if these charges are true, it's outrageous and it's unacceptable. >> nbc white house correspondent kristin welker joins us. strong reaction to the speaker. reactions elsewhere on capitol hill that you can share? >> reporter: what's happened in baltimore has revived the broader debate over how to tackle racial tensions and poverty. you have democrats saying one of the keys to this is to invest more federal dollars in education programs, work force training programs, afterschool programs. here's marily maryland congress earlier. >> there are some systematic underlying problems that should be addressed at the local, state and federal level. >> reporter: republicans largely disagree. house speaker john boehner saying that investing federal

dollars in some of the programs could lead to government dependency. this past week, the republican-led house passed a budget that would slash funding and spending by about $5 trillion for some of the programs that democrats argue should be beefed up. a big debate there. the one area there seems to be common ground, you have democrats and republicans, including house speaker boehner who cold chuck there should be more federal dollars that go to providing body cameras to police officers all across the country. that's something that president obama has been vocal about. >> i want to talk about this also. the president is due to speak at the rehigh pressulaunch of the s keeper initiative tomorrow. can we expect more from him on baltimore as well? >> reporter: we haven't gotten a reedo readout. i would be surprised if he doesn't reference baltimore. he wants to let the legal process play out. he also called for the protesters to continue in a

non-violent way. said it's very important to get to the truth of what actually happened. >> thank you so much. still ahead, the republican party is making more room for contenders in the race for the white house. we'll show you who is expected to announce their bids just this week. plus, the union representing the police officers charged in freddie gray's death calling for the da to recuse herself. we'll examine why. and i'm like... whoa. open the box and...

developing now in baltimore, mayor stephanie rawlings-blake lifting the curfew. state's attorney charged six

police officers in the death of freddie gray. he died last month after suffering fatal injuries while riding unrestrained in a police van. the police union representing the officers called for mosby to recuse herself because of campaign donations she received from one of the attorneys for gray's family. jo as we look at this, spoke about the conflict of interests. i'll play a little of that first. >> you asked me about the conflict of interest with reference to the family attorney. i don't -- there is no conflict of interest. the family, mr. gray's family attorney, donated to my campaign and supported me. i had over 700 people who donated to my campaign. including the fop. i don't see how there is any sort of conflict of interest with reference to that. >> on this sunday, that discussion happened on friday, it is what people are talking about in baltimore and around the country.

this is in your wheel house. what will happen, if anything? >> nothing. she is one attorney amongst several, and it's a selective decision whether to prosecute a case or not. it wasn't just her. she made it with other senior trial assistants. this conflict of interest, think about it, if the officers weren't arrested, the other side would be saying the same thing. there is a legitimate issue that comes out, and it's the appearance of impropriety. the only way to remove it would be to assign a special prosecutor, which is what i think and many people feel. when a case involves an officer-alleged misconduct, perhaps an outside agency should be brought in. >> is that still possible? >> those are separate things. we could get a special prosecutor, and that's always still possible, to take on the case. then a separate motion to change venue was also possible. i think it would be fruitless. i don't think it would go

anywhere. >> you don't think they can move the venue? >> no. you're shocked. i don't. think about it. number one, this is not only a provincial issue. it's an international story. we all know about it. where else are they going to go, right? then the party would have to demonstrate some type of prejudice, which would result from staying in that venue and that's why it needs to move. there is no evidence of that. >> even though everybody in baltimore has been steeped in this issue, really, over the last month or so. they would still feel they'd be able to get a fair trial with a fair jury? >> that is the goal. but there is no legitimate legal reason to move it. you can't just say, oh, the racial makeup. that's not a legitimate legal reason to move something. there has to be that. the special prosecutor, that's still possible. a special prosecutor could come in and try the case in that

county. there's those two issues. >> got it. nick mosby, her husband, also part of the story. >> right. so is the fop and whether there is a conflict of interest. >> he's a councilman. >> again, i think there's too many checks and balances within the prosecutor's office to prevent that having been some type of motive or bias. he represents his constituents. she represents everybody. she's doing the job for everybody. >> now, some folks are saying, i'm not sure these charges can stick. >> that's interesting. so here's -- usually, i'm the person who is crying out that everybody is being overcharged. i think she was conservative. i do. only officer goodson was charged with depraved heart murder, murder in the second degree, which is basically saying you did something so egregious but should have known the consequences. you should have foreseen that risk. she's not saying it was an intentional murder. this is a different theory. not saying it's murder one.

the other officers have been charged with different degrees of manslaughter to assault in the second degree and misconduct. i think they're being conservative. not overcharging. >> 63 years though. you think that's possible? >> there is a dead kid. >> okay. >> life without parole. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. some criticized baltimore's mayor for her leadership or lack thereof during this crisis. she says she has what it takes to get the city back on its feet. we'll hear from her. married. i knew it'd take some time. and her sensitive stomach didn't make things easier. it was hard to know why... the move...her food...? so we tried purina cat chow gentle... ...because it's specially formulated for easy digestion. she's loved it ever since. and as for her and ben... ...she's coming around. purina cat chow gentle. one hundred percent complete and balanced for everyday feeding of adult cats.

heal. that's going to be my focus for this week. hey! have an awesome vacation everyone! thank you so much! you're so sweet. yummy! key lime pie at 90 calories. it is so good for not giving in.

the mayor and i both talk and had agree we think it's time to get the community back to normal again. it's been a very hard week, but we've kept everybody safe. since monday night, we haven't had any serious problems. i just thank everybody in the community for their help. in keeping the calm and keeping the peace. we couldn't have done it without them. it's going to take a little while for us to get totally back to normal. lifting the curfew is a good idea. >> that was larry hogan, the governor, talking about the decision to lift the curfew in about how late mothe baltimore. governor hogan also called for statewide day of prayer and peace following a peaceful night of protests. only a handful of arrests. joining me now is colin campbell, reporting for the baltimore sun. you've been covering the protests over the last week.

are we looking towards the end now? on monday, we were wondering, are we at the beginning, the middle, are we at the end? >> reporter: it certainly looks like things are winding down. the national guard, it sounds like, is planning on reducing its presence here in the city. there hasn't, as you mentioned, before any violence or any real issues since about monday of last week. so it's definitely been -- it's definitely been calmer. still a lot of protests. you can see behind me, we have a ground of probably a couple hundreds, maybe 300 out here, that are here. preachers giving speeches and the gospel group singing. it's a triumphant mood. people feel like the charges were a very -- a turning point for a lot of people in the city.

>> the complexion of the groups are out. we had a little bit of altercation, shall i say, in pennsylvania and north last night, with a handful that were detained, that number is much lower than what we saw in earlier days. what are some of the views that you've seen over the week, and how has that changed? the people you've seen and the conversations, how have they changed? >> reporter: i can tell you that i actually talked to juan grant, the brother-in-law of freddie gray, who has been out every single day since the very beginning. the day gray died, there was obviously a large gathering of folks. it's gotten bigger and bigger. there was a lot of violence at one point. the national guard was called in. he had seen, along with the rest of us, this sort of crazy explosion that this has become. i talked to him, and he was just blown away by the national

attention, by the police presence. it's really been -- so talking to him was incredible, to see from the family perspective. a lot of this has been political. you've seen -- like i said, out here, very triumphant mood and a lot of folks excited for the future. >> and the focus that many are saying is don't forget, this is about freddie gray. do not forget that this is about that young man. but they don't, as we have heard today, curfew now removed, the number of law enforcement, national guard, that number will go down, according to the mayor. they are getting back -- or you are getting back to what might be called normal. but baltimoreans don't want normal. they want a new normal. >> reporter: that's absolutely correct. i think it's clear that the city recognizes that things are not going to go back to the way they

were. what that change is going to look like is obviously the subject of much debate, and we will be following along to see where it goes. >> colin campbell from the "baltimore sun," thank you for spending time with us today. >> reporter: thanks for having me. >> you bet. a busy week ahead in 2016 politics. at least three presidential campaign announcements. tomorrow, ben carson and carly fiorina expected to throw they hats into the ring. tuesday should bring news from mike huckabee. how will they impact the race for the white house in the end? joining me now, miphillip. thank you for being here. what do you think? >> there's a lot of things to think. there are four reasons people run for president. there is vanity. they want to highlight --

>> vanity, vanity, vanity. >> yeah. there are people jockeying for some other position. in this era of big money, they just have money. i think ben carson is doing it from a vanity reason. i think carly feriorina is tryi to be a cabinet pick. i think of the candidates, mike huckabee has the longest legs in the race itself. >> carly and hillary clinton, carly fiorina and hillary clinton, is she the antidote, if you will, from the republican side, to hillary clinton, she can bring certain messages across? >> that's how she's positioning herself. she's drawing the contrast. i am the female candidate who can be the contrast to hillary clinton. they're not comparable in terms of politics. >> can she says that the other gop candidates cannot say though? >> yes, i think so.

i wouldn't recommend any politician say things that are dangerous for anyone. she can draw attention to a side of the republican party that, say, mike huckabee can't, just be virtue of being a woman. i don't know if it's enough to make her viable in the race. >> the democratic side, we have bernie sanders. the only challenger to hillary clinton. just this morning, he was on this week with george stephanopoul stephanopoulos. i want to play some of that. >> hillary clinton has been part of the political establishment for many, many years. i think what the american people are saying, george, is at a time when 99% of all new income is going to the top 1%, and when the top 1/10th of 1% owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%, maybe it's time for real political shakeup in this country and go beyond establishment politics. >> along that thought process, a new poll.

we've got data that shows almost 1/3 of americans believe the economy and job creation should be the top priority for the federal government. bernie sanders, is he enough to get her a little farther off center? >> yeah. i said earlier, there are some people who run to raise issues. on the republican side, it's hard because there are 2,000 of them running. on the democratic side, bernie sanders can do that. he can make more of a focus on what he thinks are the important issues. particularly economic issues. to your point, that is more resident with democratics. i looked at the poll. democrats are worried about the job creation than are the republicans. that has a lot of value in the democratic primary and gives bernie sanders a lot of space to get attention. >> hillary clinton headed to nevada, a state that's almost put together with the subject of immigration. she just came from silicon valley. there's also the issues, as she tries to keep her campaign small. she's got the big campaign

donors. a lot of things swirling around if her world right now. >> nevada will be an interesting trip for her. the democrats are more worried about what will happen with the hispanic vote in 2016. it is the least loyal to the democratic party, both recently and in past presidential elections. immigration is huge. obama has huge boostings approval when he took executive action on it. i think hillary clinton wants to put her foot down squarely. >> latina and asian-americans, a swing vote, going for the democratic candidate back in 2012 but not 2014. >> 2014, again, we come back to this idea that the presidential race and the midterm race are two different races. have been for years now. in 2016, looks like it's going to be a 2012 style race. not a 2014 style. >> thank you so much. >> my pleasure. coming up, the mayor of baltimore defending herself against the criticism levelled at her for the situation in her

so you stay steady ahead. as we've been reporting, baltimore mayor stephanie recall rawlings-blake lifted the curfew. before she made that announcement, she sat down for an interview on "meet the press." >> what we saw last night was a peaceful demonstration. it wasn't anything like what we had last sunday. i'm taking a look and having conversations with all of our public safety partners so we can get back to normal. everyone wants to have that sense of peace and calm back in our city, so we can begin to heal. that's going to be my focus for this week. >> do you regret using the phrase "space to destroy"? >> yeah, i certainly think that it was taken out of context. let me say this. i'm from baltimore. my parents are from here, i'm

raising my daughter here. i'm a public defender. as city council person, as mayor, i've always worked to strengthen my city. we fought to get those stores in our community. i would never condone rioting. i don't -- just period. i would never condone it. >> you wish you didn't use that phrase? >> i certainly used the wrong phrase to talk about what was clear, that there were people who took advantage of the peaceful demonstrators' first amendment rights and used it to destroy our city. i don't condone it and will make sure the individuals will be held accountable. >> okay. in a few moments, we'll have a live report from baltimore to talk about that issue that chuck todd on "meet the press" was asking the mayor, in terms of her ability to lead the city forward and whether her constituents believe in what she can do, as she was promising there in the interview with chuck. also ahead, prince william

broadcast. a special edition of the rundown tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. on msnbc. it was announced this morning that prince william and kate gave birth to a baby girl, weighing 8 pounds, 3 ounces. she's only a day old, and all anybody can talk about is her weight? >> the new princess of cambridge is a day old, and she's already the most popular tot in britain, if not the world. william and kate's second born received a stream of royal visitors. that happening today, including the proud grandparents. kate's mother and sister pippa also dropped by. while we've seen pictures of the chubby-cheek eed addition, we haven't heard the name. what's life to be like for the newest princess? robert joins us right now. what do you like, elizabeth, charlotte, diana, roberta,

self-serving for you there, robert? >> i quite fancy princess may, after queen mary. you never know. a lot of these names married v.h i'd like something a bit quirky. if she's going to be the queen one day -- you never know, lots of second children have gone on. henry viii was a second child. she can pick any one of her names to become -- to be made queen. >> that is the interesting thing. right? if she was in line, they would perhaps be a little bit more strictness to her name and because she's second, does that mean that they can be a little bit more free flowing, a little bit freeze and easy, if you will, about the choice of what her name might be? >> i think they will anyway. i don't think there's the strictness and protocol that there was in the past. as long as there are one or two

of the traditional names in there. if you've got elizabeth in there, that would be fine. she could always be queen elizabeth iii. it is very unlikely it will happen because prince george is the direct heir to the thrown even though they've changed what the law is, so if he has a little girl that girl will be automatically the queen even if she has a younger brother. >> tell me, what's the energy like in the uk and throughout to the land, fellow brits with be what are they saying about this new daughter? what's the energy like to let's say prince william when he was born in 2013? >> it's a lot less. the birth of prince george was the first direct heir to the throne since prince william, 30 years apart. so that was a big moment it is a lot less. the papers are full of it. news print and photographs all dedicated to it. but the truth is it was a lot

slicker, the public were kept back further so there was less jeering. i think they've organized it quite well because there is an election in the year. i don't think the queen or members of the royal family want to be seen that they're interfering with anybody's election and the voting system. >> the interesting thing, i was just watching the video of prince william putting in his new daughter, into the car before they left. and you remember the big hullabaloo when prince george was born about how prince william was readying himself, he would walk down ot stairs and put prince george in the car that first time. now he just kind of saunters down the front, puts his new daughter into the car and they drive off. it is probably the same level of comfort, shall we say, with both william and kate as they go through this. let's talk about the role of the spare heir though. oo even though she will probably never rule, why is she important? >> it is important because you never know in life.

something -- something terrible may befall the first in line to the throne. that's when the smar is important. the truth of it is, we've had a number of second in line to the throne throughout history that have taken over. it doesn't necessarily follow that this won't be the case. one thing that we will be, even if it happens and she doesn't happen to reign, she will probably be the princess royal. princess ann the oldest daughter of the queen. it is an honor given to the oldest daughter. even though she's trending on twitter as royal princess. she'll be princess royal one day. >> do you think that prince harry and she will be best friends? >> knowing harry, he's a great guy. he will be all -- he's a really good guy. he'll be a bit broody when he sees his niece. he sent lots of love from australia. >> the spares getting along together, if you will. thank you so much, robert

johnson, fromm from london toda. thank you. right now we want to go back to our continuing coverage of the situation in baltimore. people have gathered at city hall plaza. a few hundred of them for a rally that's continuing. a feeling of celebration in the city that started with the announcement of charges against six officers in connection with the death of freddie grey. live pictures here right now, different than what they were on friday, thursday, wednesday, tuesday and monday in that they are organized. as you can see here, a little bit more jubilant than in the past. the crowd celebrating also the decision a few hours ago from the mayor to lift the curfew that had been in effect since tuesday. unrest has put a spotlight on former baltimore mayor and maryland governor martin o'malley. he is a pe tensiotential conten the democratic nomination. he said this morning. root cause of the problem is economic. >> i think the problem is the

fact that we have built at economy that's leaving whole parts of baltimore, philadelphia, flosnew york, so citizens behind. people in full parts of cities are totally left behind and disregarded, they are unheard they are told they are unneeded by this economy. that extreme poverty breeds conditions for extreme violence. >> o'malley has often cited baltimore as a comeback city that's overcome problems. drugs and violence. much more on the situation in baltimore and those dynamics coming up. we will look ahead to the first night in nearly a week with no curfew in place. how leaders in the community are trying to turn the anger over freddie grey into action and change. mayor changing the curfew. it is gone. what's in store for the city tonight as the amount of national guard goes down.

and test drive one today. the new spyder f3. riding has evolved. this video coming to us live from tel aviv. we understand right now some clashes between israeli police and ethnic ethiopian citizens. so between israeli police and citizens of israel of ethiopian decent, what is happening is that these ethiopian-zerlisrael against what they say is police racism after a video clip there emerged showing a policeman punching a black soldier. now this unrest follows some violent protests also in

jerusalem. israelis of ethiopiaathiopian de angry over this police beating and details at least at this moment coming from reuters is that mounted police in this situation that we're seeing as we get close to 11:00 p.m. local time, mounted police charged hundreds of ethnic even ethiopian citizens. they fired stun grenades yesterday to try to clear one of the most violent protests so far that they can remember in recent history there in the heart of tel aviv, a beach town, very popular for those of you who are familiar with it. the protesters, israeli jews of ethiopian origin. so again this goes back to an issue where ethiopian jews have joined the ranks of legislators and the office corps and the country's melting pot of the military, they serve in the
