clinton's e-mails flagged for secrets. did the former secretary of state have classified information. new developments. donald trump's immigration plan dividing people running for president igniting a new debate. welcome to "early start." i'm christine romans. it is tuesday, august 15th, 5:00 a.m. in the east. john berman is off this morning. breaking news out of thailand. police have a suspect in monday's deadly body attack. this is your first look at him. officials say he is seen on closed circuit tv. they cannot confirm his identity just yet. he's seen in a yellow shirt, jeans, glasses carrying a backpack. they look back at footage to see if they spot anything suspicious. there is devastation following the blast, a blast that killed 22 people. hundreds dr more than 100 others hurt. the pipe bomb targeted a hindu sh run.

the explosion shattering windows and creating panics in the streets. we're looking at frightening video captured of the bomb at the time of the blast. with explosions jarring people on the street and the area and those who rushed to respond, listen to one paramedic. >> the people that seemed to survive were the ones that ended up underneath the dead people. so i'm guessing that the person in front of the blast took the blast and the person behind was somehow saved. and so we've had to remove dead bodies from the living people underneath. i've never seen injuries this bast before. i've been to a few bomb blasts before. this bomb was, i don't know the

word, vicious and obviously designed to cause maximum damage. >> cnn's asia pacific editor andrew stevens with the latest developments in bangkok. >> reporter: christine, police are looking for the man who is responsible for this. it was designed to cause maximum damage and maximum loss. a man in a yellow shirt and glasses was seen carrying a dark backpack very close to where the shrine is located in downtown bangkok. he was later seen leaving that same area without the backpack. police say they can't from the pictures of the at this stage identify his nationality. they don't know whether he's thai. they don't know whether he is a foreign national. meanwhile, also getting reports of a second explosion, much smaller explosion at a pier on the river here in bangkok close to an area which has five star

hotels. no injuries there. police are at the scene at the moment. but this investigation is covering a lot of angles. they've been at the site combing the area. they're looking through cctv going back days just to see if they can establish anything unusual at that shrine. and also there are still many, many injured in hospital. the list of nationalities who died on that blast include chinese, thai obviously, malaysians, hong kong and singaporeans. several theories of who could be behind this. at the moment nothing has been proven. there is no clear indication of which lead the police are most favoring at this stage. christine? >> andrew stevens in bangkok following this story. new fallout this morning over hillary clinton's e-mails. intelligence officials recommending 305 e-mails from

her private server be reviewed. officials looking for classified information sent to be received. clinton has long since assured the public that never happened. only 20% has been sampled. how much worse could this get for her. cnn's pamela brown with more. >> reporter: good morning, christine. 305 documents from hillary clinton's private server have been referred to various intelligence agencies for consultation to determine whether the contents are classified. that's according to a court filing from the state department. this is after reviewers from five different agencies joined the process of looking at clinton's e-mails and the court filing says, quote, out of a sampling of 20% of clinton e-mails, the intelligence community have only recommended 305 documents, approximately 5.1% referral for their agencies. this filing is an update for a federal judge on review efforts to a federal judge on a freedom

of information lawsuit. these federal agencies will have to determine whether or not there is classified information in these documents and whether or not these documents should be released to the public as part of this lawsuit. and hillary clinton, as we have heard, repeatedly had denied sending or receiving information marked as classified through her personal server. it's unknown at this point if any of the 305 flagged e-mails contain classified information but this does come at the time the vie is look at her server. will vice president joe biden run for president? some calls grow louder for him to enter the race but it's crickets from the white house. they say sport inside the white house is limited. many are heavily invested in the campaign. there's also a concern a biden

run would put the president in an impossible spot having to choose between supporting biden or hillary clinton. donald trump didn't get picked to serve on a jury in new york city. now he's back to pushing his policy on immigration. some pounce on it and say it's unworkable. would it ever have a chance in congress? >> reporter: good morning, christine. back to the campaign trail for donald trump. he was not picked for jury duty. after spending several hours he was not selected, he'll be back out campaigning. his immigration plan is one of the policies he's working on. it's drawing criticism from his republican rivals. >> i appreciate the fact that mr. trump has a plan, if that's what iut i think whpl if that's the better approach is to deal with the 11 million people here illegally in a way that is

realistic. >> donald trump's eight page plan is absolute gibberish. it is unworkable. mitt romney said his biggest mistake is a candidate for president is embracing self-deportation. donald trump's plan is force deportation. it's not going to work. it is unworkable. >> reporter: all of the controversy or most of it centers around the so-called birth right provision. it allows u.s. citizens if you were born here the right to citizenship. donald trump wants to do away with that. that takts a lot of work. it would take a 2/3 vote here and a ratification rft government. he'll be selling that on the road as the week continues. they're all gearing up towards the next presidential debate in september in california. >> all right. now trump rivals are touting

similar aspects of their own proposals. scott walker says he supports ending birth right citizenship. he's also in favor, excuse me, of the wall and amnesty. lindsey graham says the policy needs to be change. he has said he would consider a constitutional amendment. rick santorum has said birth right citizenship should end as part of comprehensive reform. with congress in recess, they're wasting no time to target funding for planned parenthood. all of this follows hidden camera videos claiming to show planned parenthood profiting from feet tall tissue sales. that's a charge planned parenthood dyes. a hack of the i.r.s. three times bigger than reported. 334,000 taxpayer accounts

one of the most popular and busy parts of bang congress. this is known as the times square. it was timed to cause maximum impact because it was the busiest time of the day. no motive, but the prime minister of bangkok has been on television here talking about the blast and he says it is linked to, he thinks, trying to damage the economy. this is what the general said. remember, this is a military leadership here in bangkok. this is what he said. i just want to read it to you. from this incident it is apparent that there are active individuals or groups that have the intentions to damage thailand who may be pursuing political gain or other intentions by damaging the economy and tourism. tourism is a key part of thailand's economy. only recovering after the military coupe and the years and years of street protests and

political unrest. just recovering from that, christine, and this happened. it was all worked to cause maximum human loss of life, maximum damage in bangkok. >> andrew stevens for us live in bangkok this morning. bring us any new developments we get. thanks. new fallout this morning over hillary clinton's e-mails. intelligence officials recommending 305 e-mails be referred to their agencies for review. looking to see if classified information was sent and received. clinton has long assured the american public that never happened. only 20% of the e-mail on the server has been sampled. could it get worse for the democratic front-runner? cnn's pamela brown has more from washington. good morning, christine. 305 documents from hillary clinton's private server have been referred to various development agencies to determine whether the contents are classified. that's according to the defense

excruciating process for the family of 54 people including five children who were on board this plane. two days ago villagers said they saw the plane crash into the mountains but they had to wait until the next day to confirm if there might be any survivors. debris was spotted by search planes. that search had to be called off because of weather and then today we had this news that it was confirmed that none of the people on board this flight did survive but, again, these search and recovery teams now cannot retrieve those bodies. the ground crews are stuck for another night on this very steep mountain in this very treacherous conditions because the weather is just too bad to get out of there, christine. >> keep us up to speed. keep us posted on the developments as you get them, kathy. thanks for that. 44 minutes past the hour. let's take a look at what's coming up on "new day." alisyn camerota joins me. >> christine, great to see you. i'll look at you over here. it's easier to see you in this camera. good morning, everybody. we will have the search for the

explosions climbs. cnn's will ripley live at a rail station severely damaged by those explosions and, will, behind you along those tracks you've got chemicals all over the place. some of them sizzlie ingsizzlin and popping. it looks like a very difficult situation. >> reporter: it's very terrifying for the people who live around here, christine. there are thousands of homes right there. people are supposed to be moving into these apartments under construction in two months. look at what is scattered everywhere. these are barrels obliterated by the explosions late wednesday then hurled in some cases more than a mile. we are more than a mile from the blast zone. you can see the barrel with the chemicals lying there. this is indicative of the huge scope of this environmental disaster. 2700 chinese troops are on the ground right now working with hundreds of chemical and biological experts. they are trying to clean up contamination. they are trying to identify which chemicals are distributed throughout the area. as you mentioned, we saw mounds
