for millions that live here, a desperate situation. this morning, the battle for kyiv, a russian missile strikes an apartment building near the airport. service workers evacuated survivors. the third day of putin's war. many are injured or dead in the capital. >> we understand that mr. putin is crazy man. he want to make hell in kyiv in the ukraine. we need help from the west world. >> reporter: overnight, explosions near the city zoo. fire burning and a man rescued after a military vehicle was filmed running over a car. it was a tank. nbc news hasn't independently confirmed that. ukrainian leader volodymyr zelensky defiant. we won't lay down arms, we will defend our country in a selfie

about the city. it is a situation that seems to be deteriorating quickly. peter, kristin? >> erin mclaughlin, thank you. this morning, we are hearing from residents of kyiv that remain in the city. this pastor and his wife are currently in a bomb shelter in kyiv. good morning to both of you. you are in our thoughts now and we are so sorry for everything that you are going through. let me start with you, how are you holding up, what are you hearing right now? >> well, things are changing five minutes, every minute almost. this morning, actually last night we spent in the bomb shelter, it is not far from our home. in the morning after curfew, we thought we would be able to go home, have breakfast, take a shower. as soon as we were up, we heard

sirens again. it was another raid. there were several hits in the area. but not close to us, couple miles away from us. we're grateful that authorities allow us to know in advance when the threat is coming. >> sylvia, what have the last several days, last 48 hours been like for you and for your husband. we have been reading reports the ukrainian government is handing out weapons to people there, there are videos teaching ukrainian citizens how to build molotov cocktails. what's your experience the last couple of days been like? >> pretty chaotic, yeah. we have been hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. so when we heard sirens, we ran. yeah. i think very quickly there was a sense of alarm and panic in

people, but they're a very resilient nation. they're very strong, very hopeful, very determined not to let russian forces take over. >> i think the world has been struck by the resilience of the people of ukraine. we understand your mother is also in the bomb shelter with you. you helped her with a walker. we see her there. she was just a little girl when hitler invaded. what is she saying to you about this moment? >> this is probably the most ridiculous experience in her life. she was born in russia actually and she's ethnic russian. she's married to my father who was i think ukrainian. so i am mixed breed. my mom would never, ever, ever imagined being bombed by the

neighboring country. and the country where she came from. >> sylvia, what message for the world watching, what do you want the world to hear, what message do you want to share with so many who are now hearing your story? >> you know, a lot of people have already said what we would say which is this is a dangerous time for the world. we know that the world is watching, but we need them to do more than just watch and feel sorry or thoughts and prayers and bring action that will make a real difference. yeah. sense, a sense of this battle. we are feeling increased support, but we need support that's going to make a difference. demanding no fly zones or closing the skies.

there are so many different ways that communities could respond, that the international community can respond, amidst what's going on in the city and explosions, we hear explosions constantly, we're getting small little snapshots of new sanctions or whatever. we need actions that are going to make a difference. >> thank you both so much for joining us and for the very powerful message. please stay safe. >> thank you. >> thank you. we want to head to southeastern ukraine where chief foreign correspondent richard engel is on the move this morning. richard, what are you seeing there? >> reporter: so we left the city of mariupol, we are on provincial roads to get a sense of what's going on, how far the russians advanced, how the ukrainian troops are doing.

we are trying to get to a couple locations before the sun goes down here, which is why we are not stopping. you can see the roads are almost entirely empty, very, very few people here are venturing out of their homes. we have seen many ukrainian check points and the ukrainian troops are taking extraordinary measures to try to barricade the roads and protect towns, villages, cities. they have been cutting down trees, putting stones and earth piled in the middle of the road. ukrainian troops are putting distinctive colors, yellow or blue on helmets, on their arm, on uniforms to prevent friendly fire, but also potentially to recognize saboteurs because there are russian troops in the country. the russian troops have similar uniforms, similar military equipment, and there are reports some of them are wearing

ukrainian military uniforms. so the soldiers themselves are trying to barricade the city, protect the cities, and take precautions so they know who is who on what is now a nationwide battlefield. >> you and the team are veterans of conflict. please stay safe. thanks for that report. tens of thousands of ukrainians have fled their home country, crossing the border to poland for safety. that's where we find kelly cobiella. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, kristin. yeah. it has been nonstop flow of people at this border crossing. medica crossing. women and children are arriving, exhausted looks on their faces and relief because they finally made it here. on the other side of the border, ukrainian side of the border,

things have gotten worse since yesterday. a line of cars snakes more than 20 miles back from the border crossing. once people are at the border, they have to get into a line that goes more than a mile back in order to be processed. we heard from people that arrived, the ukrainians are trying to process women and children first but it is taking hours. one woman told me it took more than 24 hours for her to get to this side of the border. she was traveling with her two young children and exposed to the elements overnight. spending the night at that border crossing in the cold, no facilities, no food, no place to use the bathroom. really difficult situation for people trying to get here. once they get here, the situation on this side has changed quite a bit since yesterday. if you look off my shoulder, you see a number of groups set up alongside the fence. they're volunteers that have

come here just to help out. they brought supplies for people who have come here with nothing, supplies for children. and again, the numbers are growing. unhcr says nearly 80,000 people have now crossed the border into poland over the past 48 hours. kristin, peter? >> just heartbreaking to think about how many refugees there now are. kelly, thank you very much. now to the other big story, president biden announcing he is nominating ketanji brown jackson to the supreme court, first black woman selected for the highest court. senate democrats intend to move quickly on her historic nomination. we turn to pete williams for the latest on that. good morning. >> good morning, peter. two years to the day after pledging to nominate the first black woman to the supreme court, president biden kept his promise, he selected a nominee who's been a judge nearly nine years, was once a criminal defense lawyer.

the president says ketanji brown jackson will make the supreme court look more like america. >> i believe it is time we have a court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation. >> i can only hope my life and career, my love of this country and the constitution and my commitment to upholding the rule of law and sacred principles upon which this great nation was founded will inspire future generations of americans. >> reporter: she's a federal appeals judge in washington, confirmed eight months ago with the vote of three senate republicans. before that, a federal trial court judge for eight years. she ruled that don mcgahn couldn't duck a congressional subpoena, but ruled for the trump administration tossing out an environmental group lawsuit opposing the border wall. she was born in washington, grew up in miami. her mother was a school administrator, her father a school board lawyer, and an

uncle was police chief. she graduated from harvard and harvard law. met her husband patrick, now a surgeon, they have two daughters. she served as a supreme court law clerk for stephen breyer, a man she's nominated to succeed. also a defense lawyer, the first supreme court justice since thur god marshall experienced at defending criminals. she would be one of the youngest on the court, but wouldn't change the makeup with 6-3 conservative super majority. senate democrats will act quickly on the nomination. no commitments so far from the three republicans that supported her last time around. one of them, lindsey graham, called her nomination a victory for the radical left. peter, kristin. >> thank you very much. on that, bring in the host of washington week on pbs, political contributor. nice to have you in person. i want to start where pete left

it. three republicans that supported her confirmation less than a year ago, now they're signaling that doesn't mean they vote for her during the confirmation battle ahead. what do you anticipate it will look like? >> the white house wants it done quickly. republicans have in the past changed their minds, but this is a judge who clerked for justice breyer, who is known and the white house is touting as someone to build consensus. and a historic pick. the first african american woman who will be nominated, is nominated to the supreme court to sit on the court. this will be a battle that will be in some ways one that history is watching and as a result, yes, she might have issues with republicans, already calling her radical. the fact she was confirmed by the senate before bodes well for her getting bipartisan confirmation. >> let me follow up on that point. judge jackson if confirmed won't change the court ideologically, but this is historic.

there have been 115 supreme court justices, 108 have been white men. she's also a former criminal defense attorney. how would she impact the court? >> in 233 years, that's how long it took for a black woman to be nominated to the supreme court. that's not a coincidence. there were a number of black women before this that could have been nominated, constance baker motley, federal judge passed up mainly because she was a black woman. it will change the court in that you will have someone representing in her body the large part of the democratic base here in being a black woman, also in her opinions. we'll hear how her life experiences go into the decision. think of justice sonia sotomayor, they often point to her decisions and opinions even if she doesn't change the outcome of votes. she will be someone that even in representing will be inspiring for other people.

there will be black women, black girls saying i could possibly be on the supreme court. there's a caveat. lived experiences of black people, african americans killed two to three times the rate by police facing disproportionate health aspects, they could still, all of that could still be true with her still sitting on the bench. >> a lot to watch. >> the state of the union tuesday night. we will see you then. now a breath of fresh air. the cdc saying most americans can safely take a break from wearing masks. the agency changed guidance on the face masks for indoor settings, including public schools. the cdc says 70% of americans live in communities where covid hospitalizations and deaths have eased and that those people can drop face coverings. new guidelines do not change the requirement to wear masks on public transportation or inside

airports, train stations, bus stations. we'll have more on the new recommendation with dr. john torrez in the next half hour. >> looking forward to that conversation. a lot to impact there. meanwhile, a big blast off for spacex, a falcon 9 rocket lifted from vandenberg base friday. the craft on a mission to deploy 50 satellite star links into orbit. it is part of a broadband network, bringing internet access to underserved areas of the world. incredible. and we have a first check of the weather. nice to see you. >> good morning. everyone at home, we have our eye on a disturbance in the northeast. this front will sweep through the northeast from maine to up state new york, parts of new england through sunday. we could see snow squalls, snow

showers. this area saw just under a foot with that storm system. what i can tell you about today, it is not as moisture laden. only a dusting to inch of snow uniformly. watertown, that's where you could see 2 to 6 inches, higher totals further inland in upstate new york. and we couldn't have the snow without the chill. here are current temperatures in buffalo. 17 degrees. bangor maine, 11 at the moment. this chill continues through the afternoon. nashville coming in 8 degrees below average for this time of year, 48 degrees. little rock. later, we'll look at the and we're starting out with clear skies right now. downtown san jose, 38 degrees. take a look at your current temperatures as you head out the door. still very cold in dublin, 31. santa rosa, 34. morgan hill, 32 degrees. by the afternoon we are expecting the start of a bit of a warm-up heading into the

this morning, what you need to know about the big news from the cdc friday, relaxing mask guidelines across the country. >> dr. john torres is here with everything you need to know. great to see you. thanks for being with us. explain this shift. the cdc is basically saying for most of the country, you now don't need to wear masks indoors, even in schools. what changed and why? >> this is the important news. new guidance is shifting focus from instead of looking at cases and positivity rates, giving more weight to hospitalizations and local hospital capacity. once pressure on the hospitals. with old guidance, 20% fell under categories they didn't necessarily have to wear a mask. you look at the math, 70% of the population is in the low or medium risk category that they're talking about. that means people in these areas can consider not wearing masks

indoors. again, operative word, consider not wearing them. they can wear if they want, but not mandated. they're taking omicron and adding to the concern about wearing masks, saying let's lighten the rules a little bit, kristin. >> and dr. torres, what does this mean for those folks immuno compromised or families like yours with children that are under five and can't be vaccinated. >> if you are immuno compromised, around someone like that or children that can't get the vaccine under the age of five mostly, the cdc encourages you to wear a mask if that's what you're comfortable with. they want to be sure everyone is protected. look at the chart. if you live in an area that's yellow, medium risk of covid and increased risk of immune compromise or any other health conditions, they want you to talk to your doctor whether you should wear a mask. if you are in an area it is high, they want you and everyone else to wear a mask indoors, including schools. schools were included in

criteria. the cdc included information at the bottom of the chart, people with symptoms, positive test, known exposure, you need to wear a mask. that's the bottom line. you want to keep everybody safe. >> to put it in simple terms, if you wear a mask but everybody around you isn't, how much protection is that giving you? >> it gives you more protection than you think. if you wear a mask, well fitting, k n95 or n95, it gives you protection. work environment is a big concern. if those aren't you around wearing them and you are, you're more protected than we thought you were. >> this is new guidance from the cdc, but it doesn't supersede mask mandates, you still have to wear them airplanes and other places? >> and kristin, great point. some places people are still vulnerable, hospitals, nursing

homes. masks are still required in federal transportation, planes and trains. that's scheduled to expired march 18th. don't know what they're doing moving forward. revisiting that in the weeks ahead. >> great to see you. thanks for the information. bring in joe fryer, nice to see you in person. >> we have some fun pop start. ahead, a mystery onset of "the crown." hundreds of thousands of dollars of antiques go milooking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone? once-weekly ozempic® can help. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ ozempic® is proven to lower a1c. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. and you may lose weight. adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. in adults also with known heart disease,
