the pentagon is closely a report of a possible russian chemical weapons attack on the city of mariupol. if russia were to have found to have used chemical weapons, it would represent a major escalation of the conflict. molly hunter is in ukraine with us for the latest. and people down south are cleaning up again from another round of nasty storms. half a dozen tornados tore through arkansas, including an air base in little rock. 45 million people are at risk from another round of severe weather later today and tonight. al will have our latest forecast. >> we start with what is top of mind for millions of american families across the country. we're talking about higher prices that are eating into family budgets. nbc's tom costello is covering that for us. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. as you know, we feel in our wallets every day, now we have new black and white stats.

>> we believe that the economy is strong. >> reporter: so the bottom line here is that the economy is running right now at about 8.5% inflation. that is four times what inflation typically runs at, 2%. the challenge for the fed is to make sure that this economy slows without putting it into a deep freeze, without slowing the economy to the point that we have a recession. the white house also is going to be allowing a 15% ethanol blend in gas over the summer, hopefully that will increase supply and keep gas prices moderated at the pump. hoda, back to you. >> tom costello for us. thank you. we move to the latest out of ukraine. the pentagon monitoring a report that russia may have used chemical weapons on civilians in the city of mariupol. this is as ukrainian forces are bracing for an intense few weeks of fighting in the eastern part of the country. molly hunter is in kyiv for us this morning.d morning.

always been there. what we've seen with the invasion of ukraine is him being reckless in a way that you might not have anticipated eight, ten years ago. but, you know, the danger was always there. >> hindsight is 20/20, but you go back to crimea. do you ever think could i have done something differently >> the situations in each of these circumstances are different. but i think what we're seeing consistently is a reminder of why it's so important for us to not take our own democracy for granted. why it's so important for us to stand for and align ourselves with those who believe in freedom and independence and i think the current administration is doing what it needs to be doing. >> we're going to have more from

doctor and her second. >> my white doctors were pushing me towards hysterectomies, whereas my black doctor heard me, received me and directed me to alternatives. >> reporter: she is not on her difficult road to motherhood. every year, black women are three times more likely to die during childbirth. it's a danger that stretches through all stages, from conception to postpartum care. black women are more likely to have severe complications after leaving the hospital. why the glaring disparity? experts say there are multiple factors. access to health care, underlying health issues, and implicit bias. is this a crisis? >> i would say that it's a reality. >> reporter: this doctor is a board certified obgyn in atlanta. she's delivered thousands of babies throughout her here, including mine. >> do you have patients who seek you out specifically because

and we are back with a special concert on this tuesday morning. how is everybody doing today [ cheers and applause >> just got treated to a great performance from camila cabello, our friend who is here great to have you.

let's talk about the record "la familia," your third studio album. i'm sure a lot of it was written during the pandemic. what did you go into this album wanting to achieve >> better mental health. i really just wanted to be free. i wanted to feel joy in the studio i wanted to be, like, as transparent as possible and i feel like so many of these songs, like, that's what i love about music. it's like, i could talk to you about how i'm feeling all day long but these songs really sound like how i was feeling on the days that i wrote them >> i feel like you are authentically you, maybe for the very first time. people have known your music forever. but i feel like this music is so personal, you're kind of introducing yourself, reintroducing yourself again >> totally i think also now i'm 25 and i think that this was -- made it i think that it's such a journey

in finding out who you are as a person and i feel like being a teenager and being in your early 20s, a lot of the times i was running around like a chicken with its head cut off so i think that through doing the interwork, whether it be therapy or really practicing authenticity and vulnerability and being honest, you find who you are and now i'm in a place where i'm like, oh, i know who i am and i like who i am, and so i just practice being who i am >> i feel like we've grew up with you you were with fifth harmony. how does it feel like to have this album out in the world now? >> it feels good and it feels -- i was just telling you it feels so good to be able to perform these songs, you know, in front of you guys and get to see them with you that feels really special. and i love this music. it just feels fun to sing it. >> you shared a lot of personal

things, your life, miami, cuba you're connecting your fans with your life. how you grew up. >> totally and i think like part of me growing up too is being, like, i love -- you know, i love latin culture and latin music, i love the music my family listens to it's me also connecting to that too because, you know, when i miss miami and i'm in l.a., i'm, like, i just want to write for miami, write for younger me. >> cool. >> let's go to some of that. are you ready for music, ladies and gentlemen? let's get back to it give it up for camila cabello.
