time frame. >> todd: steve harrigan life in the ground on kiev one-year anniversary of the war, steve. >> ukraine has already been out and about downtown performing a ceremony with soldiers saying ukraine will do everything possible to win back the war against russia within this year. in the meantime, u.s. g7 nations expected to announce a new series of economic sanctions against russia. this comes as the u.s. is also announcing $2 billion more in military aid to russia and since provided since the war began $50 billion of economic and military aid to ukraine. that is $113 billion that has been authorized. some military analysts are beginning to express cautions about president biden's message that the u.s. would support ukraine as long as it would take. >> when we say, like the president said, listen, i

applaud them coming to ukraine. i applaud the speech he made reaganesque like in poland but we will be there until the end. that is playing into putin's end? he wants the end to be three or four years from now. they want to take territory now. why? stop the bleeding, stop the heart. >> right now on the battlefield, russia controls about 16% of ukraine's territory. they have given back in law says about half of what they seized just after the invasion and done so at a heavy price for this defense official estimate russia has more than 200,000 casualties and wounded in this war and almost double that of ukraine. there are fears to date in kyiv of "revenge missile strike by russia." a lot of schools, a lot of businesses deciding to work remotely because they fear were russian putin will mark the

anniversary with missile attacks against ukraine, back to you. >> todd: steve come on this anniversary one year ago, you were reporting live on this very show and this happened, watch. >> todd, we just -- whoa! a large explosion 2 miles behind me. black smoke coming up. any idea what that was? probably a meso. we have heard reports that russia is using precision guided missiles. we've heard a large number of strikes in the predawn hours for the last hour or so. it has been quieter. can you come out and show that smoke? we will try to show you the gray smoke coming up. bear with us. this is live tv we are trying to move the camera. thanks, dallas. so, you can see eventually in the distance, you will see that

black smoke coming up. we don't know what was it, but it is assumed that these are russian missiles, and that they are targeting command and control centers in ukraine and air defenses in ukraine. >> todd: back here live, steve, you are in the exact same spot you were one year ago today. what is your reflection on that moment when your later? >> i think that goes to show the real uncertainty and the fear people had about what could happen. people didn't know it was going to happen. one year ago, not only russia but u.s. intelligence thought the russians would be able to take control of this capital city within three days pier that certainly didn't happen. a lot of people were wrong in one year later they are still fighting. it also goes to show we are talking about precision missiles here. those missiles, 5,000 hitting ukraine have been anything but precise peer they have been targeting apartment buildings, electric power stations, really

trying to break the will of what has become a total war by russia against the people of ukraine, todd. >> ashley: you know, steve the biggest difference i see right now just from the standpoint from where we are, you had the helmet. you had the bullet proof vest on and casually dressed this morning. so obviously, there is a sense of security at some level as much security as you can feel right now, but do you feel like that can change any moment and do you feel like the worst has passed in kyiv? >> i think it could change at any moment. i think people here know about their ordinary business, but there are still aerate simon's everyday peer that could be nothing and it could be russian jet is in the air or a muscle. certainly the fighting is heavy in the east but no sense of relief and you talk to the people on the street and many people are going about their business, but they have lost their house. they have lost a family member

so the scars are there but just a little hard to see one year later. >> todd: one year later we will say the same thing to you that we said last year. steve harrigan live in kyiv, thank you. >> ashley: things calisti peer democrats with the house judiciary hearing at the actual border in yuma, arizona. >> todd: republicans get a firsthand look at the border town for local struggling to combat the crisis. alexandria avenue live with the latest, alexandria. >> democrats in the house boycotted calling it a political stunt. republican's absence will send a message of disrespect. >> democrats have called this a stent. i would argue it is not as tough but disappointing they are not here. democrats dismiss the experiences of these real people that we've had a chance to visit with over the last 24 hours. people affected by the biden border crisis, democrats seen what we are saying have a chance to end this crisis and secure our southern border. >> ahead of his congressman

[crying] that something like this will occur. and that is what happened here. >> ashley: that would be so hard to do. the terminal has a lengthy history with gunshots, assault with a deadly gun and battery. a moment a good samaritan chased down a drunk driver who attempted to flee the scene of a crash that killed an off-duty police officer. the suspect plowed his rented jeep into a white sedan. moments later the good samaritan gets a hold of the suspect pinning him to the ground until the police got there.

>> [bleep],, [bleep],, [bleep]! leave me the [bleep],, kill somebody! [bleep] mack kill somebody! you stay right there! [bleep] mack! >> ashley: the driver was reportedly served 16 shots at a local bar before the crash. the police detective alex died at the scene while his wife and two boys were hurt here the suspect pleaded guilty to intoxication manslaughter in january and sentenced to 15 years in prison where he belongs off the streets. >> todd: turning to this emotional alex murdaugh taking the stand in his double murder trial. he denies killing what son and wife but lied to the investigators the night they were murdered, listen. >> did you lied to agent owens and agent croft with follow-up interview that the last time you

saw maggie paul was at dinner? >> i did lie to them. >> you lied to them by telling them that you were not down at the kennels on that night? >> yes. i did not shoot my wife or son at any time -- ever! i would never intentionally do anything to hurt either one of them. >> ashley: a forensics expert and distinguished scholar of applied forensics jacksonville state university joins us now. thank you so much for being here, joseph. today the headline on "the new york post," "how to get away with murdaugh! do you think you will get off by what he to make you hurt yesterday? >> i think it will be very difficult. i'm not taking that there have not been mistakes made along the way. however, the fact that prosecution has taken this path in his cross-examination, it is

very powerful as well. you can see murdaugh beginning to squirm. because they went over information regarding this financial. and murdaugh wanted to come i don't know, get away from that as he quickly and possibly could and if he could [bleep] it, the homicides of his wife and what surrounded his wife and son and what surrounded those events at night. the prosecution is looking at this as an opportunity to show a long history of liens, if you are lying about that, you are lying about the fact that you killed your wife and son. >> todd: s such an interesting approach from the defense to try to draw the whole lying aspect of this by stating, "i lied on all this other stuff but not on the murders, i did not commit them." that was one take away from

yesterday and also the emotion shown from alex murdaugh on this debt to mike stan appeared to take a look at the scene yesterday. >> did you take this gun renee gun like this and blow your son's brains out on june 7th or any day? >> no, i did not. >> my boy was laying face down and down the way he was done, the way his head was. you can see his brains laying on the sidewalk. i didn't know what to do. >> todd: joseph there is a lot of conflicting reaction from legal experts as to whether this humanizing attempt by the defense works. some people say it worked great because it looks like he's more relatable to the jury. other people say this was a horrible error by the defense. where do you come down? >> welcome i think the big thing all along for me is the forensics guys want to see the weapons, we want to see the

clothing because we have often held that if you fire these weapons at his wife and son at such close proximity and remember in this kennel area where paul was particularly found is the required space. he wished shot with a 12-gauge shotgun. he talks about murdaugh, talks about his son's brain on the ground. there will be a lot of blood associated with that. the question is, has prosecution is saying that he did this, where is the blood and they have not produce that. another big thing they were talking about the weapons a second ago, guys. they have yet to actually have the weapons. they can't put their hands on them anywhere. there is a big gap of time where some folks are saying he took time to destroy the weapons or get rid of the clothing. they may never be found here

this area where it occurred was isolated. it has spots where things could be taken away and never found again. and so that has been one of the big questions along the way. did the police did a good, good enough job finding for stuff? >> ashley: are you insinuating that the police did not do a good enough job at the scene went lack of weapon shown in the trial? >> well, it is not so much the weapons as how the scene was handled in the beginning many people say that this is a result of power that murdaugh has in this county and this region. there were people all over the scene. even when giving this infamous statement in the patrol car, you know, the police were not even looking him in the eye and taking a statement from him. if you would check over his left shoulder, his friend and

attorney were seated in the back of the patrol car. so you know, in normal circumstances, this is not something that would have happened for a person like murdaugh taken downtown to a local station house and been able to examine him, hopefully, good lighting to see if particular evidence on him. look him in the eye when questioning him and even initially, removing him from the scene and there were other people there and even one of his legal partners had mentioned just a couple of days ago how he saw people wondering about the scene. that is troubling because the scene is the genesis of where everything begins from a forensics standpoint. if you are not doing a thorough job of securing the scene, that draws in question some of the other things. >> todd: going back the testimony testimony, arguably in the law of the word intent" and driven from intentional.

yesterday on the stand alex murdaugh use that phrase, that word over and over again, setting up this battle between a former prosecutor who knows how to use that word, i.e. alex murdaugh and the current prosecutor. what did you make of that consistent use of that word intentional. obviously a very transparent attempt by alex murdaugh to basically say i did not have their reckless intent to commit this crime. >> will, he's trying to bury the prosecution. in going to that point, he is trying to -- you know because he they are trying to demonstrate all the series of bad acts and financial, here are some of this testimony and you begin to see this and how many people by his own admission he robbed. and what became of them. you can only imagine the jury sitting there, oh, my gosh, this is a really bad person. so you don't have to prove motive. that is not something peer that

is holy would appear don't have to prove motive, but to have this timeline being worked out here. and to demon demonstrating these crimes from a financial standpoint. he admits it on the stand and it all dominates what the prosecution is saying in this final act. you draw the eyes away from what he was having. so he does know the law and they are trying to demonstrate that his intent was to eradicate his family simply because they have knowledge of him. he was in financial ruin particularly to the vote accident intent that occurred appeared and is trying to take the eyes off of a crime. >> todd: think it was always for your time. the communities issuing opioid overdose alerts. deaths are up and awareness is low. we will tell you about the response that communities are demanding now. ♪ ♪

it is a pleasure. >> ashley: absolutely. first and foremost, i'm sorry to hear what happened to your sound. this is something no parent should have to go through. unfortunately, this is something happening more and more and i believe on their screen right now, it is happening more and more and more common every single day. so apparently authorities are saying awareness is low, but to be quite honest, when i see 31% of teens consider themselves knowledgeable with fentanyl him at that number is not that low when you think about it, especially with teenagers. how do we bring more awareness to these teens and perhaps the people who are not aware of what is going on to try to get this to stop? >> first and foremost, the presentations at our foundation does in both junior high and high school. i have a stack of letters from students who have watched the presentation and actually come up to us and thank us for the information given to them. they are not getting this

information from their schools. the schools have no appetites, for some reason, to give this fentanyl education. so, it is time others across the state have had to come up with the way to warm the public and warn these kids about the dangers inherent dangers of any drug use in today's day and age. you cannot experiment whatsoever with these drugs. nobody understands that in these kids did not understand that, which is why it is imperative that they listener documentary called "dead on arrival" with their parents and understand fentanyl is absolutely everything and we heard about it in a spirit and of course the illegal cloned pills being made by the cartels that are down here in the united states that we find in fentanyl. pills to be made to look like oxycodone, purity and in 2020

the drug administration said 4 out of 10 pills potentially lethal but now 6 out of 10 potentially. so you have kids that want to experiment with the drugs. and to overcome a stressful situation and they will die. >> ashley: jaime, has there been any type of push like getting those videos you were talking about with the organization into the schools? almost like a dare program and having that be a part of that awareness program? has there been a push at all and have you guys thought about that? >> we are in partnership with the drug enforcement administration with our video and also southern california here locally. we have partnered with los angeles police department. we are also with san bernardino county, san diego county's district attorney's office. so we have partnered with lots of people. we haven't had that much luck

with los angeles unified school as of yet but we are working on that right now as we speak. >> ashley: why have you not have much luck with them coursework are they pushing back on it? >> they are pushing back a little bit, yes, they are. they are saying but they are stating is that they need somebody who works within los angeles unified school district if they give presentation to their kids. and i understand that. i understand that very well. but also interesting and we have been across this nation not only in southern california but kansas, texas, colorado, new york. we have many other advocate parents who are using our documentary as well to raise awareness and educate not only the inherent danger of fentanyl. >> ashley: it sure would be nice for the federal government to stand an end do something like that and push that awareness because it needs to start with the kids when they are very, very young.

so now authorities them i'm sorry, people are running covid style response to the covid. what would that look like? >> you know the drug enforcement administration last year heard drug summit where affected families have lost their children inviting them to fentanyl poisoning. one of captain jones, naval captain representing the cdc. i have the opportunity to ask him in a presentation why the cdc had not come up with covid style reaction to the fentanyl crises? oh, my god, with platitudes and word salad? and i believe a lot has to do with stigma of addiction and overdose. most people don't understand though that fentanyl in my own point of view is not a drug to me it is a poison. 10 milligrams and people are not taking this seriously. they keep lumping fentanyl with methamphetamine and heroin.

this is completely different than anything else. >> ashley: they are mixing it but i have to leave it there. thank you for your time this morning and again i'm so sorry for the loss of your son the thank you for bringing awareness to this. >> thank you so much, ashley, i really appreciate it. have a good day. >> ashley: you us also. transportation very gnomic transportation secretary pete buttigieg made it to east palestine but let's just say he did not call on reserves. >> when it comes to the misinformation. so i think -- i lost my train of thought. >> todd: probably should not have gone with the word "train." and then there is this. >> for working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills. so folks have more money in their pocket. we are asking working families to respond to whatever that was next. ♪ ♪
