stern time. david wright was arrested hours after police shot and killed another suspect who had been under surveillance for 24 hours. now authorities are investigating whether others are involved in an alleged plot to attack police officers. and if the plot was inspired by isis. nbc news justice correspondent pete williams is in boston with new details. >> reporter: tamron we expect boston police today to meet with members of the muslim community here to show them a surveillance video of yesterday's shooting in which they lame this man they shot was coming at them with a knife. authorities say that they were having him under surveillance because they feared he was plotting to attack police here in boston provoked by isis-inspired social media. police and federal agents arrested this man late tuesday in the boston suburb of everett in connection with the investigation. heavily armed police and federal agents conducted searches there after a boston man was shot

tuesday when terrorism investigators sought to question him. usaama rahim was shot and killed after police say an officer and an fbi agent approached him at a bus stop and he came at them with this knife. officials say surveillance video not released publicly showed what happened. >> you saw the video. appears the law enforcement officers were backing away before they exercised deadly force. >> reporter: they believe rahim was preparing to attack police in boston within the next few days radicalized by isis-inspired social media. he had been under 24 hour a day surveillance for weeks. within hours investigators began looking for others they believe may have been in contact with rahim searching locations in nearby everett. >> i saw saline of s.w.a.t. team members dressed in full gear shields, battering ram. >> reporter: officials say

expect to see other scenes like this as isis reaches out more with essentially media and the fbi ramps up surveillance. rahim's brother is an imam who used to be here in boston. he lebron james the shooting wounded his brother three times in the back but authorities say no he was shot in the torso and abdomen and believe by showing this video the muslim community that will ease their concerns. we don't expect to see it publicly because the district attorney doesn't want witness recollections contaminated. >> let me bring in "boston globe" assistant editor. the "globe" has exclusive reporting more on this plot that police say they stopped. >> right. we have two law enforcement sources telling us that there was a plot to behead a police officer. the officials tell us that apparently these individuals, mr. wright and mr. rahim had

plotted, were going to try to attack a police officer, that were going to try behead a police officer and that the plot could have been ready to take action perhaps as early as yesterday. so police wanted to question mr. rahim. they had him under swain for 24 hours. they were following him and mr. wright for several weeks and they decided they needed to take action yesterday because the threat level was very high. >> what more do we know regarding their background and their relationship? >> you know we don't know what their relationship is. we know mr. rahim lived in an apartment complex in rossdale massachusetts a section of boston. people knew him. thought he was friendly. he worked at the best buy. and people we talked to someone who took the bus with him said he was a nice guy. kept to himself. was married. mr. wright lived in a quiet neighborhood on linden street.

a lot of people didn't know him. everyone is in shock as to these charges. >> speaking to the fact that everyone is in shock, here you are -- we're still waiting the official sentencing of dzhokhar tsarnaev, he was convicted and sentenced to death last month and people waking up in boston in that area to more just disturbing news on this plot. >> well i think there's a grim reality here that the threat of terrorism is here to stay and everyone faces it here in boston and around the country, and police are urging everyone to be vigilante, see something, say something and i think when the confrontation occurred in a cvs parking lot around 7:00 in the morning when he was about to, the suspect was about to board a bus i think everyone was stunned at what transpired. but police said according to police this individual lunged at them with a knife and felt they

no choice to shoot to defend themselves. >> there's surveillance video to show how that went down. to go back to the suspect that was killed rahim, interest being comments from his brother who is an imam at a mosque there. saying he was shot in the back three times and officials are disputing that. >> the police say the tape shows he was shot twice in the tore so perhaps some section of the police in the front. they say he was lunging at police officers with a military style knife, got within 15 to 20 feet of those officers. was moving towards them as they were moving back and they felt their safety proximity had been violated and they had to defend themselves from being attacked. >> thank you very much for joining with us the new information. developing now the fbi is responding to a stunning new report about government surveillance. that report by the associated press reveals the fbi is operating a fleet of small planes that fly over many cities

armed with sophisticated surveillance cameras and in some cases able to lock in on cell phones. the ap reports in just the past month the fbi has flown more than 100 surveillance flights over 30 cities in 11 states. fright radar 24 tracked one such flight over baltimore after riots broke out following the death of freddie gray. according to the ap fooib is hiding all of this behind 13 fake companies that are fronts for the government. in response the fbi said a statement to nbc news stressing that the aviation program is not a secret and is used for quote targeting specific individuals and not bulk collection activities or mass surveillance. the fbi also insists the plane program is legal and has been going on for years and does not allow them to listen to phone conversations. joining me live now is the attorney for american civil liberties union of maryland. dave, thank you so much for your time. >> thanks so much for having me

on. >> up heard the statement provided to us by the fbi. your reaction to the fact that the agency says this is not a secret and not illegal. >> i don't really know or understand what the fbi thinks a secret is. the fact that this is being done with front companies hiding the ownership of the planes and the fact that we know absolutely nothing about what they are actually doing certainly qualifies to me as a secret. they have gone great lengths to keep this secret. and i think what's really noteworthy and scary about what the ap has revealed is the scope of this surveillance, which i think no one was aware of until this story. the ap story, they were able to identify 50 of the fbi's fleet of over 100 aircraft in their little mini air force. and extrapolating from the

statistics that the ap was able to compile about just those aircraft that is half of the fbi's fleet, it seems clear that the fbi is conducting well over 2,000 surveillance flights over the united states every year. that's a staggering amount of surveillance and i think the american public needs to know a lot more about what the fbi is doing. >> to your point many are saying the sheer number along with the fact that the agency created at least 13 fake companies, raises even more eyebrows especially given, again, the statement from the fbi that this is all out there for citizens to know about apparently learn and do research on. >> there's no information. the only reason this came to light is because folks contacted the aclu here in maryland when they noticed this strange flight

over baltimore during the unrest following freddie gray's death, and they were able to do some sleuthing on sligts like flightradar24 and other databases of ownership of planes that raised an inference that this was actually a government surveillance flight which "the washington post" then followed up on and the ap has followed up on. we still don't know what these planes are doing. for the fbi to say that they are not doing mass surveillance is contradicted by their own statements. we know from the article that the fbi admits that the planes are equipped with cell site simulateors. those are mass devices. they pretend to be cell phone towers and trick every single phone within range to dmoekt them. when they are mounted on an airplane over a city that's a huge number of phones.

and we know that again, these flights are occurring at least over 1,000 times per year over u.s. cities and more likely if the ap sample is representative well over 2,000 timg every year over u.s. cities. >> but the fbi said they are zeroing in on criminals and many are asking how is this different than when local law enforcement agencies use helicopters or drones to northern criminal activity which we know also has happened including, i believe even in ferguson. >> well we don't -- there's a lot we don't know here. but, again, the one technology that the fbi has admitted putting on these planes, it's a massive surveillance technology. the government has incredibly sophisticated cameras that can monitor 25 square miles at a

time and create and give a very detailed picture such that's the you can identify particular individuals. so i think there's room for skepticism, especially given the fbi's clearly documented attempts to hide this program for about the fbi statements and about what it is that they are doing. >> we'll see if the fbi releases more information as more questions are pointed at this program. thank you very much david for your time. developing now u.s. intelligence agencies are restarting recently expired surveillance operations today but with sweeping new restrictions. this after president obama signed legislation late last night that reinstates but also significantly limits government surveillance programs in place since 9/11. the usa frooem act eliminates the nsa's bulk collection of phone records and puts it in the hands of phone companies. now this was approved by the senate despite fierce opposition from majority leader michigan

mcconnell who said the operation jeopardizes national security. >> the president's campaign to destroy the tools used to prevent another terrorist attack has been aided by those seeking to prosecute officers in the intelligence in community. it is also resounding victory for those who currently plotted against our homeland. >> nbc's kelly o'donnell joins me now from washington. let's go through the changes now to this policy and what can and cannot happen here. >> one of the big questions, tamron is will this law require the telephone companies and there are really hundreds of different entities that hold our different kind of phone records if you have a land line in your home or all the different cell phone companies. will they keep the records? the law does not explicitly require them to do so and one of the questions will be how will they sort of start a program that is not in existence yet? under normal business practices these companies would likely

keep their error but they might have differing lengths of time they do that. that's one of the questions that come out of this. many believe this is a victory for privacy rights because it takes this data out of the hand of the government and leaves it in the private sector. some question whether the phone companies might use as a marketing tool in the future some sort of a campaign that would say if you don't want the government to get your records contract with us we won't provide them. so there are lost of questions. there is some relief certainly the white house was pleased to see this program don't exist because it does provide those continuing investigations to keep going and if there's a new suspicion there's an ability to try to seek if records but it's a very different program than hat the country has had for years. first exposed by former contractor edward snowden. the idea the government had been the keeper of these records sweeping up the numbers, times and places. while it sound similar there are a lot of questions this morning

about how this will work in practical terms. >> thank you very much. now to developing news out of china. rescue crews are still searching for people trapped inside a capsized cruise ship even though no signs of life are being heard from below. this morning weather officials confirm a sudden tornado hit the area of the yangtze river at the time the ship overturned monday night. 14 people have been rescued and 19 others confirmed dead. the ship was carrying more than 450 passengers at the time of the accident. nbc's ian williams has the latest. >> reporter: rescue efforts are continuing throughout the night here but they are painstakingly slow. so far only 14 people have been brought out alive. 400 are still missing. now the latest we're hearing they are cutting their way into the hull of the ship. we saw them making preparations for that earlier marking out in red where they would make that cut.

also they are making preparations to lift the ship. we don't know when that will happen because they need to get the crane ships in position and only two are there so far. now they are searching downstream, 135 miles downstream because they think some bodies could have gone as far as that. also dozens of divers have entered the ship. but today they only brought out two bodies and one diver said the water was very very murky and, in fact he was feeling his way into the boat. the visibility was so bad. now, other things emerging today. questions that will indeed be asked in coming days is over the weather. we know the weather was appalling monday night when the ship went down. a yellow weather warning was issued by the local authorities about it seems other ships went to shore. they didn't try to press on through the storm. as this one did. so questions there for the captain who survived as did his chief engineer. tamron. >> ian williams thank you.

. developing now no official response from israel after president obama raised the possibility of a u.s. allowing a united nations vote on palestinian statehood. something the u.s. has repeatedly blocked. in an interview, new interview broadcast late yesterday on israeli television the president said israel loses risk on credibility over benjamin netanyahu's stance on the creation of palestinian state. >> when he spoke right before the election he was fairly unequivocal in saying that it wouldn't happen during his prime ministership. i think subsequently his statements have suggested that there is the possibility of a palestinian state. but it has so many caveats. so many conditions.

that it is not realistic to think that those conditions would be met any time in the near future. >> right. >> and so the danger here is that israel as a whole loses credibility. >> nbc news senior white house correspondent chris jansing joins us. some are speculating many the president's comment are a last ditch effort to get peace talks resumed and now we're in a stalemate over a year now. >> reporter: he's been pushing very hard. this is a harder line we've heard from him. here's the way he put it. how do you take what appears right now a hopeless situation and turn it into something hopeful as you pointed out this has bean priority of his and the clock is ticking to the end of his presidency. i think you have to look at it in the context of the other talk and that's the iranian nuclear negotiations that have a hard dead lynn at the end of this month and the fact that this is really what has been behind the

most recent rift between obama and benjamin netanyahu and what the president tried to say is that there was a much bigger threat to israel and that is that there are no face negotiations going on and he actually compared it to what happened to the united states after 9/11 and he said we made some bad choices in things like torture and he looked at it not just from a security standpoint but a moral standpoint and tried to make an appeal. clearly directly to the israeli people. so he said you'll have to watch out for the kinds of mistakes that the united states has made. this obviously guesting a lot of play in israel but as you pointed out, tamron nothing official responding from the israeli government. >> we'll wait to see what happens and then certainly the followup from the white house after that. thank you. coming up we're learning more about the american woman killed by a lion in south africa as her family speaks about the

>> we are back with our first read on politics this morning. two new polls showing hillary clinton favorability numbers are lower than they have been in years. clinton is getting a democratic challenger today the former governor of rhode island. he's expected to throw his ring in the hat this afternoon in virginia. and louisiana governor bobby jindal said he'll announce his 2016 plans later this month in new orleans. joining me live now nbc news political editor. how are you doing? >> reporter: good morning. >> so let's start with these numbers with hillary clinton. does this tell us anything of value at this point? >> i think a lot of people were asking the question how much the stories about particularly the clinton foundation might be hurting hillary clinton with the national electorate and i think we got a little bit of an answer from this latest cnn/orc poll.

it shows a drop in popularity. she's nationally more unpopular than she is popular. that's a flip from march. one of the more striking numbers in this poll when voters were asked whether they believe hillary clinton is honest and trustworthy 42% said yes, 57% no that's also a big drop in her trustworthy ratings. clearly these stories seem to be having an effect on hillary clinton nationally. the clinton kpin wail point to polls in individual states. they will look at democrats. democrats in this poll still overwhelmingly say we're looking for hillary six in ten democrats say she's our first choice. three quarters of democrats say she's our first or second choice. in a reason bloomberg poll in iowa she was shown to be overwhelmingly the choice of democratic caucus goers and has not been hurt by any of these outside stories since january. individual states and with her base still strong but nationally suffering a little. >> it's interesting when you look at her lead is still significant over the likely

contenders including joe biden who is in "the washington post" abc poll 14% there. so let's transition to somebody who is planning to challenge hillary clinton, lincoln chafee. he's been making the round before this initial announcement hammering her on the iraq war vote. >> lincoln chafee will tal lot about her iraq war vote. this is something that plagued her in 2008. i think it will be an interesting question how much democrats have forgiven her for that vote and moved past it. one thing that might drown out a little bit about what he has to say policy wise is his record within the party. he's a former republican who became an independent who then became a democrat and he left office from his job as governor of rhode island with very low approval ratings. he was somewhere around 25%. that's something you'll hear a lot about in this announcement. his past error how it might not sit so well with democrats who

otherwise might give him a listen. >> last on our list bobby jindal will make a major announcement in new orleans june 24th. is that announcement going to be that he's running for president >> all indications that he's running. kelly o'donnell reports he's expected to jump into the race. polling is not looking that great for him. he's polling at 1%. nobody cannot say bobby jindal hasn't been very aggressive against the obama administration and hillary clinton. he'll have a lot of zingers for both of them when he makes his announcement. >> thank you for your time. up next caitlyn jenner broke social media records as you probably heard by now after her big reveal this week. now we're getting an exclusive first look at her life in this much talked about documentary. finally they are revealing some of the video. terrifying video shows a scare

juicing, did you talk with your doctor -- what was the evolution to that point? >> well, i actually did everything that my doctors had to offer. a year of chemotherapy, almost ten surgeries by the time it was said and done. and i still had a reasonable rate of recurrence. that just was not okay with me. and so i actually went on my own journey and started studying everything i could find on the connection between food and disease and realized there is a connection and that you could heal yourself with the power of food. >> were you a healthy eater before you were diagnosed with cancer? >> i was fairly healthy and active. but i definitely probably overdied dairy and definitely packaged foods and tv dinners. and you kind of name it i definitely didn't make whole foods for myself at home. >> your first juice that you made do you remember what you put in that? >> yes i do. actually one of the flavors, purity, is recoe replicated off the -- is replicated off the juice i made at home.

everyone called it my pond water because it looked so green. it basically had cale celery cucumber in it. and at first i had to add a whole apple. over time, i started eliminating the apple until it became completely green. and so now's actually replicated in purity. >> what kind of research have you done and come up with regarding what you put in each drink? each is different. i also love as you point out, the names like purity there. >> well, it comes from my experimenting with salads and what actually makes a good salad actually combines really well in a juice. that helps with my research of what will combine. we start with a dark green base because dark greens are the most nutritious plants on the planet. that's really what you want. then we add sweeter greens and sometimes a little fruit make it more palatable. it's got to taste good. >> we checked some of the reaction to juicing and for example, there was a dietician at the texas children's hospital saying there should be a balance in the green juice. you should not just depend on that. is that the same advice you

offer to your clients? >> yeah. there are so many benefits from celery and cucumber, they're high in electrolytes. and fruit is high in vitamin c and other important ntsb. it's a good -- important nutrients. it's a good balance. >> your willingness to help others by taking some of the profits you made and put it into organizations for research that help with breast cancer. >> that was part of my story. when i was diagnosed with breast cancer, so of my sister. she's a couple years younger than me. we went through treatment together. from that we realized we really needed each other. so i realized that young women need a support group. so i started a group in texas actually called the pink ribbon cowgirls. it's thriving and a model for other organizations across the country. we try to take 1% of our top-line sales and give it back to organizations like that like the young survivor coalition to provide support services for young women. >> congratulations. not only on your great health
