with these images of who they're calling a person of interest in connection to tuesday mornings attack on a new york subway. i'm united nations urges government action on the growing number of people missing or disappeared in mexico. u. s. president joe biden has for the 1st time said that russia is carrying out genocide and ukraine. he said this as a clarification for comments made a few hours earlier widen, had earlier called russian president vladimir putin, a war criminal evoking a strong response from moscow. i call the genocide the evidence is mounting. different was last week, the more evidence is coming out of the literally, the horrible thing at the russians have done in ukraine. and we're going to only learn more and more about the devastation. and what about the lawyers decided or

nationally whether or not a qualifies, but it sure sees that way to mean practical haine joins us live now from washington d. c and patsy. genocide is very much a loaded word but a precedent bite and didn't avoid it. did he he really didn't in the most important part, as his staff had been avoiding that for the weeks of this war, you saw the president de, they'd come out before and they'd say, well, there war crimes in there atrocities. now the president just flat out said it's genocide just a little bit of the background of the about. he was in iowa because he was talking to people about inflation. his poll numbers are very visible because inflation is skyrocketing higher, highest, and it's been in more than 40 years. so basically he went and he said, look, you shouldn't have to pay more for gas and fuel. because this dictator decides to launch a war and committed genocide. so he's just trying to use that language to make people realize that there's a reason they're paying this price. now, conservative has said that disingenuous that inflation was rising before the

invasion began. but it is a very big deal for the president to use this word. now, what will the practical impacts of a be the united states is not a member of the international criminal court. but the us, instead of going to do is provide millions of money to the investigators who are documenting these war crimes their way to try and help the process in that way. but it also sends a message to have the united states president use this term genocide. and it was clear that the ukranian president realizes the importance of the he tweeted out soon after those words, true, true words of a true leader at poetess calling. things by their names is essential to stand up to evil. we are grateful to us assistance provided. so far, and we urgently need more heavy weapons to prevent further russian atrocities. so we'll have to look in the coming days to see if more world leaders adopt this language. because again, genocide that provokes images, it provokes motions. it is,

it actually is pretty much one of the strongest things a world leader can say. now the president has said it and on the subject of the weapon, we're now hearing reports of the us will be shifting more and also different kinds of weapons to ukraine. what more can you tell us about that? and it really, it would be a very big shift from the united states. 11 thing i think is important at the beginning of this for all the government officials that you talked, you said the goal was to push russia back. they didn't say how far, but just to push them back after the stories came out of what, all of this horrific atrocities in places where the russians had been in control. you heard a shift now you hear us leaders say, ukraine must win this war. russia must be defeated, so they've sort of change the language of what the ultimate goal is. and they didn't really careful in this whole time trying to make sort of crunch thread that

line since they are providing defensive weapons. not offensive weapons because they didn't want to risk provoking a war with a nuclear arm. russia. but now we are here a report where freighters in the washington post were trying to confirm these on our own that they're going to be sending m 117 helicopters, fitted with the kind of equipment that can tack tanks, armored humvees hordes or canons, coastal defense drones so those can very clearly be seen as offensive weapons. we again don't have confirmation, but it does seem that the constant calls from the ukranian leadership to give them heavier weapons. possibly the u. s. is getting ready to respond regardless of how it might provoke russia. ok, patsy. cocaine life from washington. d. c. thank you for that. or the mayor of the seas. ukrainian city of mario paul says around $21000.00 civilians are estimated to have been killed there since the start of the war. ukraine's military is warning

reserve kept quantitative easing up. in the last 2 years, they put about 5 trillion dollars into the u. s. economy that has caused our money supply to grow to levels. we haven't seen a very long time on that. in turn of course is contributing to inflation. it is ultimately the driving force of what's happening and prices sent to what extent then do you think any comparison can be made to rising inflation? in previous decades, in united states, we haven't had a lot of inflation right. the last time we had a really serious bought inflation was in the 1970s of that too was driven by mistakes, the federal reserve, where of course, a just expanded the money supply too quickly in the post bretton woods world course, it took vulgar to come in not a decade later, finally put the end to inflation, although costing the u. s. economy dearly in the context of 2 back to back to recessions. at this point in time, we know what's happening. the federal reserve has to act quickly, of course,

to read it basically perform quantitative tightening to extract some of that 5 trillion dollars they put into the economy until they do so. inflation is going to say, continue to, i accelerate. not some may suggest the war in ukraine is affecting inflation. and to what extent would you agree or disagree with that? i couldn't. i couldn't a disagree more. look, we had inflation problems 2 months ago, 3 months ago before put in. it actually invaded ukrainian for all the worries about gasoline prices. i. i realize that they're pretty high right now. but if you inflation adjust, they were actually higher in 2011 than they are today. the united states a has actually gasoline that looks cheap to much of the developed world, most of your wishes. they had $6.00, a gallon gasoline. so it's not gasoline, it's not oil that's driving this. it's money supply driven by an excessive monitor

monetary policy reaction. a 2 years ago. okay, christopher phone book, founding partner of that be can economics. thank you. feel insights here today. my pleasure. the you and the committee on enforced disappearances is urging immediate action from mexico's government to address soaring rates of citizens, abducted with the knowledge and sometimes the help of state officials more than 96000 people have been registered as disappeared or missing since november. and well, upon reports now from mexico city, i to add a law report from the united nations is shining new light on the scale of mexico's crisis with enforce disappearances. citizens who were kidnapped and disappear without a trace, usually with the knowledge or collusion of authorities. organized crime has become a central traitor of disappearance in mexico with varying degrees of participation, a care cents or a mission by public servants. states. parties are directly responsible for
