russia told on capturing the key city of trento. holding out on russia's ongoing assault and demand to get about. and mariupol at this time about 2000 ukrainian troops are bunkering inside a steel plant. they are the last of resistance in that city that has been under siege for seven weeks by vladimir putin's forces. the russian defense ministry gave those troops a midday

deadline to surrender or quote be destroyed. but the ukrainians did not submit too. just as they had rejected past ultimatums by russia. hello everyone welcome to a brand-new hour of "fox news live" i am eric shawn hi arthel. arthel: hello erica, hello everyone i am arthel neville. a russian takeover of mariupol would be a crucial victory for vladimir putin after the russian army failed to storm the capitol city of maricopa while 12 has been a prime target of russian attacks in cities of mayor intense shelling has killed more than 10,000 civilians and left a 90% of mariupol destroyed or damaged. neat meantime christians in ukraine gathered today for mass in the middle of neighborhoods reduced to rubble. orthodox christians are marking a palm sunday today will other christians around the world are celebrating easter by praying for peace. priests in the devastated city

of bucha are trying to comfort a community that is reeling from russia's attacks. citizens there are begging for an end to the carnage. >> i wish this war is over soon. as soon as possible and people stopped suffering we can prevent worse is spreading to europe. arthel: alive in kyiv with more. >> hi arthel it's hard to overstate how difficult of a job it is for those in bucha today. we traveled here yesterday here are some what we found. >> the stench of death is unbearable here the churchyard in bucha you can see the mass grave being excavated for international criminal investigators pulling another body out of that grave. the investigators here looking

for evidence of war crimes. we spoke to a local priest who said this community is devastated there are men, women and children, innocent civilians who were killed here. we saw a small bag come out and a child wasn't it. just a snapshot of the horrors that occurred here. >> these matters are triadic regarded being easterday or not it is a big tragedy for us it's very important the whole world finds that with the russians have been doing here. that is not the only grave there are many places where people are buried with signs of being tortured with tight hands and shots on the backs of their heads. >> the atrocities are not limited to bucha new video shows bodies being pulled from the rubble of a school that was bombed in early march they are just now getting to recover them. meanwhile you mentioned mariupol at present zelenskyy fearing we may see the same horrors of

bucha on a much greater scale there arthel part officials in the death toll there is likely to exceed 20000 will be get a better idea for this is the last offenders of mariupol are refusing russia's surrender or die ultimatum. he spoke to them said they will fight to the end. this is a rush is stepping up missile strikes pounding the city of kharkiv that's the second largest city out in the east yesterday and today killing six and wounding of dozens of others. in here in the capitol area of kyiv are getting missile strikes yesterday and today significant one killed at least one others it was on armored carrier plant where they build those vehicles we did have another one here today just a sign of how dangerous it is, a sense of false security here the mayor

sank vitali klitschko saying if you left this area and want to come back please wait a little longer to do so still not fully safe, arthel. arthel: i believe i heard president zelenskyy said the same thing they are alive at 11 oh 4:00 p.m. live in kyiv. civil russ nesbitt escalating attacks after major setback that's a new gradient missiles sank the key russian warship in the black sea. meantime russia's warning on predictable consequences at the u.s. and nato's do not stop sending weapons to ukraine for its ea director said vladimir putin is set on getting revenge against the west. >> putin has a student in a combustible combination of grievance and ambition and insecurity. and he is firmly convinced the west, especially the united

states took advantage of russia's moment of historical weak weakness in the 1990s's risk appetite has grown as his grip on russia's titans. eric: are we doing enough to face russia and putin retired general is here is the author of the book chasing the lion and joins us now. general deprived administration is sending more material, armored personnel carriers, sending helicopters. but they have not greenlighted the mig 29's. what would you do to try and help ukraine more kuester. >> hey eric great to be with you. that $800 million worth of equipment i think is too little too late. russia continues to grind away. the ukrainians are defending well from interior lines, thank god zelenskyy is there or if you'll recall this administration wanted to remove zelenskyy right from the very beginning and taken from the country. the sinking of the moskva is a

big deal parameter that has angered putin and his generals. and now, he is warning what next steps may be. but that is a guided missile cruiser seeing action in georgia, crimea, sierra and two football fields long a big ship. and it had significant capability to include potentially there might be to nuclear weapons on board that as it sank. it is a significant development. but the s300 air defense in the package you mention, eric is probably the most significant. it is an air defense a weapon that can range most of what russia puts in the air and it diminishing their air superiority as we call in the military and air supremacy that russia somewhat maintains over

the skies of ukraine is important. so being able to fight back i get to is a big deal. so far have but other anti- aircraft type of weapon systems. they may not know how to use them they would have to be trained but in terms of eastern european countries have these soviet style type of systems. dimension of the top of this interview it may be too little too late. how do you get to donbas? how do we get the stuff to them the next couple of days? is that possible? octave lines of communication from romania, from poland, into ukraine being able to push in their and use the air points in the western part of the country to resupply a significant policy change with the united states and nato to be able to go into

ukraine. it is the question about do we get a little bit pregnant there? want to start putting boots on the ground in ukraine, then have you activated putin's attack against the west and nato is why it would've been good on the massing on the border to defense into ukraine then use the economic level of national power. eric: german with the administration said they did i would should provoke putin by sending all the stuff in at the time although they'd been sending a billion dollars worth of material. i mean, what point do you stop worrying about provoking putin and step up completely to defend ukraine? >> there is historical precedent

for this. chamberlain did not want to provoke hitler. we see where that led us back in the late 1930s you've got these strike if got to stand up in some way through policies that matter, that provide material to the ukrainians. and the military at levels of national power that have been moved hear from the united states standpoint i think i'm being good i think secretary austin has made some good decisions with perspective to moving the fourth infantry division and other combat brigades into poland and other nations to show, solidified nato. and now we have got to make sure the equipment that has been promised to ukraine because they

are using defending themselves and again, thank god zelenskyy is still there to lead this country, lead the men and women in uniform and all of the citizens and rally the world in defiance of putin. eric: he is a modern-day winston churchill but they knew that material yesterday we hoped certainly they will get it asap retired army general anthony tata. >> thank you eric. arthel: for the first time in nearly three years of the pandemic christians around the world are attending mass to celebrate easter. a massive crowd gathered outside st. peter's basilica to hear the pope's address and churches held services across the u.s. charles watson is live and atlanta with one of the latest on the easter celebration around the world, hi charles. >> pope francis designated today

more. >> hey arthel just me last couple of days we have been near we have noticed beefed up law enforcement present. actually on the other side of the river on the mexican side. we have flashing red and blue lights and police vehicles that are pretty frequently patrolling the waterfront at times we have spotted a few members of the mexican military again over the last couple of days though it will be hard to gauge whether it is helping slow the flow. but the u.s. border patrol chief for this sector said now, two days in a boat two separate groups of over 100 migrants have turned up right here in eagle pass while 400 miles northwest of where we are standing huts and check the local sheriff said they are overwhelmed with finding deceased and migrants because their community is so rural and they get into trouble.

>> it is harsh land it's a mountain's comments up, down, it's canyons comics rocks so they really have no direction. so what happens? they get wondering around in circles out there. then they get dehydrated or they freeze to death the elements dictate how they are going to die basically. >> dhs said 221,303 migrants were encountered here at the southern border and march well over last year's 173,000 plus for the month. they are you see the increases for each year. officials point out this does not include the so-called got a ways in other words those who evade successfully law enforcement. officials say they average about 2000 of those every single day out here. arthel. space bar all right casey stegall live in eagle pass, texas thank you casey. >> in the southern border work casey is the number of migrants

his title 42 is prevented 1.7 million migrants from coming into the united states at the height of the pandemic two years ago. the white house plans to repeal it next month. so far no sign the white house plans to reverse course despite apprehensions on migrants on the southern border as you mentioned eric a 20 year high. five democrats have cosponsored a bill to repeal the measure and delay for 60 days. three other democrats also signaled they would prefer a delay as well pay president biden covid coordinator defended the decision to scrap the public health measure. >> scientist look at the data if you look across the country some are at a relatively historic low hospitalizations are very low. the scientists decided title 42 is not necessary at the border that goes into effect in late may it gives us time to assess things. >> fox news reach out to those democratic senators for one only one office replied pointing us to a letter he wrote to dhs

arthel: despite those comments and presents on skate the white house has there's no plans for president biden to go to ukraine the administration still deciding whether to send a high level official is a show support. some of the european leaders have recently visited kyiv including uk prime minister boris johnson. meantime republican steve dain thursday became the first u.s. senator to visit ukraine since russia's invasion. the montana lawmaker toured the mass graves in the city of bucha alongside congresswoman victoria sparks who was born in ukraine. she described it is like to see the devastation firsthand. >> it is a genocide of the people's killing of the people people are so strong to hold myself not to try but no one was crying. i mean they are so impressive. >> let's bring in these to form a deputy assistant secretary

prime minister boris johnson went to kyiv should resident biden go? >> are felt great to be with you. first and foremost congratulations and thank you to that center and congresswoman for going there and showing the american support and values for the ukrainian people and yes, i do think we should have a senior administration official go. i think it would be a strong demonstration of american support which is constantly being shown by the biden ministration for ukraine. so it is a strong opportunity to do that. other leaders are going. certainly the ukrainian people would gain a heart from having such a visit. >> now that putin has resumed shelling in kyiv is it safe for any u.s. delegation? if you talk about the significance of seeing a u.s. delegation on ukraine soil and what is the message not just for the people of ukraine but to putin as well? >> look this is a very fluid security situation without a

doubt. that will be something our security professionals are going to have to assess on a daily if not hourly basis. and kyiv right now is under assault. russia pulled back for a time is now assaulting again. and for dignitaries to go in they have to pick their spot. but by showing that result just like president zelenskyy did at the beginning of this war really strengthens ukrainian people to resist the unjustifiable illegal war. the atrocities that happened daily require our continued support for the ukrainian peoples heart as well as their ability to physically resist. >> again you are the former deputy assistant secretary of state, with no more room or interest in diplomacy, is there an nato strategy that is still available that will either force stop putin or prompt him to end this war himself? >> a child as you point out

right now putin's credibility when it comes to diplomacy is enabled, it is zero it does not exist but as president zelenskyy says there has to be a decision made by putin to stop. there has to be some diplomatic process to get that done. but in the interim while he cannot defeat the ukrainian people he can level their cities and commit the atrocities that we are seeing on a near daily basis. but the pressure continues, the sanctions are biting russia, they are nearly in default the ukrainian military is getting stronger by the day and so this continual pressure and push back on putin is critical to try to get him to recognize this is a fruitless endeavor it's only bring harm to him and his economy certainly right now there is a low credibility in his words of the diplomatic table. >> and he keeps doing it. no sanctions or having no sort of effect when you got people they are and you've got these brave, beyond brave civilians and soldiers there on the

ukrainian side fighting like heck, like hell and now they're running out of food and water. they need to remain strong themselves to fight this battle let alone the equipment that silly to get to them i know some has but they need more. it is just despicable what is happening he seems to be getting away with it like for instance right now what is your take on mental what is happening in mariupol? >> it is a genocide. one cannot sugarcoat this. when a country, as rush is in this instance, is systematically targeting civilians and killing them and devastating civilian cities, and destroying all their infrastructure like what happened in mariupol that is genocidal that's a genocidal activity its work permits a deliberate military strategy because putin understands he cannot defeat the ukrainian people in the battlefield military to military's not able to do that russia is not gaining

in the military spheres. so they're trying to terrorize in and are terrorizing the ukrainian population but clearly the ukrainian people are not terrorized. they are strong and they are resisting. but this is a devastating, horrific humanitarian catastrophe. i do think what it does is it reminds us all we all have a responsibility to continue to put pressure on putin. that means finding ways to support getting off of a russian oil quite frankly that is a last revenue stream for russia. supporting europe in that case and really bankrupting russia will we continue to support ukraine and defeating them militarily and hopefully somebody inside russia will bring putin to his senses. >> let's hope, joel performer jeopardy assistant secretary of state under president obama joel thinkest very much take care. eric pray. >> thank you arthel. eric: earlier this year -- make easter this year is certainly taking out a whole new meaning for many christians in ukraine

eric: air travel we are told inspecting the pre-pandemic levels. you know off? airfares are set to soar because of the spike in jetpro. prices could rise higher. medicine from foxbusiness reports not from newark airport in new jersey. >> airline ticket prices are sky high and they're only getting higher with spring break travel at a jump on the cost of jet fuel we are look at ticket prices that are 40% more expensive than january.

jet fuel is doing a lots increase the cost of travel. it is currently up 40% for the beginning of the year end estimate show it will be up 76% the summer. right now domestic airfare will cost you an average of three to $30 per trip. hopper was not expecting us to hit that number until june. now they are saying expecting 10% increase to $360 this summer. americans are already way more than they are used to pray. >> it was outrageously expensive. and i came here just because i wanted to enjoy the city, get out of the house, covid it is over. >> cheapest ticket is three to $50.1 way that was a six hour layover in houston. and that was the cheapest otherwise we are at six or $700 per we are already seeing a near ten year high it comes to ticket prices. it is not slowing travelers down in fact travelers are outpacing supply in some instances airlines like jetblue have announced they are going to reduce the number of trips they

make this summer because they cannot keep up with the staffing with all these flights. this comes after the canceled over three hunter flights this past weekend. newark airport i am foxbusiness. >> art madison thank you. spieth closer to summer travel season airline pilots are warning they are burnt out and need a break but hundreds of alaska airline pilots have have formed picket lines in recent weeks as their union fight for a new contract. you got pilots from delta and southwest airlines warning they are being stretched thin and pilot say they are logging longer hours with shorter layovers as airlines try to recover from the pandemic. they say in the slow travel deck easter sunday for instance can quickly become chaotic with fewer crews available by itself or tonight more than 2000 flights in the u.s. have been delayed and around 200 have been canceled for joining us now is kyle bailey aviation experts a

former faa safety team representative. kyle, first will tell us more what is causing the rise in pilot fatigue and how much has pilot scheduling changed since he shut down the pandemic? >> happy easter, arthel. this is it pretty much what we saw a couple weeks ago was basically a perfect storm there were computer glitches, there was severe weather in the midwest. we had that increased demand it was the perfect storm of things happening. and the chaos ensued from them because pilots have shorter layovers as you reported previously indicated. but what we are seeing right now is the increase in demand. but what what i do want to say is that safety is not a factor here. the federal aviation regulation pilot could only fly eight hours per day or 16 hours duty shift which is all the work that is preparing for the flight. it is not a safety issue. it is more of an operations

issue and that's what we are seeing the mass cancellations across the board. >> i'm glad it's not a safety issue because i was going to ask that of course people are thinking wait a minute in my safe up there? you are saying we still are. so are the airlines, kyle are they being disingenuous adding more flights knowing they don't have enough pilots to fly the planes but they are selling the tickets and keeping passengers stranded? the airlines are going to force her to lay and cancel flights just like today they are ready know selling the tickets bringing it to the airport, went to sit on the tarmac or sit at the airport and canceling and now we pay this money we have taken the time off, people are saving money to take these trips especially this time of the year. and then they are left holding the bag so to speak. some of this is on the airline so you think? >> it is typically a balancing act they have to play. they have increased passengers from poster pandemic but yet not

enough pilots, not in a flight attendant said. i think some of this is a little overhyped as far as the pilot fatigue goes. one thing to keep in mind to a lot of the pilot to see in a typical flight do not live in the city where the hub is. so for example he could be flying on united out of newark and that pilot actually lives in say columbus, ohio. so he is working four days a week is three days off he is spending a full day commuting to that hub to be at work for that duty of flying that airplane. one thing we pretty much can control the faa can regulate up to eight hour days and flying you need between nine and 11 hours off between flights depending on how long that flight is. but you can't really control is the pilot getting quality sleep at night time? is he up at night? a lot of these pilots are and crash pads it's basically apartments near the airport you have ten or 20 pilots chipping

in so they can be closely hub airports. this whole thing pretty much has to be looked at. some companies own their own hotels. maybe the air light needs to do that if fatigue is really a serious issue. the effects of sum it up for me, kyle. what is the take away of got our attention. people are listening, they are watching, people are getting ready to travel what is the take away here? >> i'm in the take away is there is no short-term fix. even if they were to hire pilots today and get them onboard it takes weeks to months to get them on board. there's obviously a shortage of pilots we flight attendants who are paid very low. it's one of the cheapest paying industries with the exception of the pilots. they have to get the pilots on board for the probably have to come back on flights and

although the passengers might not like it, fairs probably have to come up to try to mitigate the demand and increase revenue which in turn don't give the pilots little more breathing room as far as her scheduling goes. one thing i also want to point out. thirty-five actually were going to cut off thank you much for joining us take care kyle bailey will be right back. that sets strict quality and purity standards. nature made. the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand.
