about his life he hasn't seen his family in a long time. he went back and saw them. he now considers the united states home. he said it was weird to say that outloud. he opened up about his visit queen and a lot to unpack and we're going to get to that. >> yes but we want to start with signs that the u.s. is really turning a page, more than two years after the start of the pandemic. the question now though is what's next? the federal mask mandate is dead for the moment the justice department says it may appeal the decision, maybe f the cdc deems that masks are still necessary. so it is a ball of confusion nbc's tom costello outside union station in washington, d.c the amtrak station there good morning you still seeing people mask up. >> reporter: absolutely. we see a shrinking number of cities still requiring masks in these mass transit settings. but washington, d.c. has dropped the mask mandate notably, new york city still

requiring masks in public transit settings but we've been talking to people in bus stations, train stations, airports nationwide and many of them say this mask had kept them healthy for the past two years they don't want to drop it yet for better or worse after 14 months of a federal transportation mask order. this morning the country is at a pandemic turning point. >> i prefer not to wear if i don't have to. so i'm glad it is dropped. >> reporter: for millions of travelers it is reason to celebrate. >> i think it is great yeah i think everyone's ready it is about time. >> reporter: others are worried about another covid variant spreading fast with 2600 deaths just last week. >> i just feel safer around people with masks. >> reporter: in houston transit crews removed the mask up to ride signs, while new york remains the largest city hold out. >> we continue to urge new yorkers to wear masks if they

are environment unknown. >> reporter: but national uber and lyft are dropping the mask >> i might still wear mine but if the passengers don't want to wear it i'm okay wit. >> reporter: but the patch work of changing rules is still causing confusion in some places in philadelphia, for example, you can fly on a plane unmasked but in the airport terminal, mask goes back on. subway or uber, mask can come off. but go grab dinner or do some shopping in the city, mask up again. a judge struck down the federal mandate ruling it competed the cdc's authority. the white house covid response coordinator dr. ashish jha tweeting -- asked for 15 days to make a decision. should have given it to them concern about the immunocompromised and children under 5 who aren't yet vaccinated >> is this the type of precedence that we want to set that the cdc can be undermined by a federal judge in florida?

is that the type of precedence here i think that is terrible precedence >> speaking of legal precedence, in order for anything to change, the justice department would have to appeal the ruling against the mask mandate and the justice department is still up in the air about that. >> reporter: justices it mate appeal if the cdc wants to pursue the mask mandate. cdc so far isn't talking justice would likely not request a stay because the cat is out of the bag. people do not want to start masking up again and the thinking the this is political liability for white house and president. but they are concerned about precedent. if the cdc is not allowed to enact health measures in the event of another pandemic, that is something they feel they have

to address now >> rolling the dice on a favorable ruling though too, tom. thank you very much. the war in ukraine russia's assault entering a new phase with an escalating offensive in the eastern part of the country. and mariupol a desperate situation is unfolding for ukrainians and troops in the besiege city erin, good morning. >> reporter: ukrainian officials working to establish a badly needed humanitarian corridor out of the besiege city of mariupol where the ukrainian commander says his forces are out numbered 10 to 1 by the russians, saying they could have hours left to live a last stand at the old steel plant. the military saying hundreds of civilians remain trapped inside. the ukrainian commander pleading with the international community for help meanwhile outside the plant,

of this year it is the first time netflix has lost subscribers in more than a decade the company is now considering changes, including minimizing password sharing and creating a low cost subscription supported by advertising >> now to what we've been waiting for. hoda's one on one with prince harry. celebrating achievements of veterans in the invictus games >> the invictus games are really incredible all service men and women competing in the sports. it was my first time seeing that event. again it is for the sick and injured military personnel he founded himself 10 years ago. it was beautiful every athlete you met sort of just lifted your heart there are stories of resilience that will inspire anyone including of course the prince himself. >> reporter: at the invictus

games, displays of courage and perseverance are everywhere you look. >> they are proving to the rest of the world is that whatever you come up against, physical or mental trauma that you can actually get through it. >> reporter: it is a message prince harry hopes everyone will hear as he cheers on sick and wounded service men and women as they compete like joel rodriguez, a retired u.s. army staff sergeant. >> reporter: when you had your accident lot of people would have thought these are the cards i'm dealt and taken it slowly. you did the totally opposite, man. >> you said cards, that is funny. because when my wife came to see me probably a day after the surgery. she said are you okay and. say said well these are the cards i have so i have to play them and it's all we can do. >> reporter: one hundreds of athletes from around the world

empowered by the games all supportic each other there was one woman who came up to me yesterday and she said something that totally struck me in my soul she said the invictus games saved my life. how does that land for grow? >> it feels amazing. but every single games i that go to i hear the same thing from so many of them and that, it feels amazing we managed to play a part in the recovery but also makes me incredibly sad that's how dark it was for them. >> reporter: when you put that heavy backpack down. when you finally put it down do you feel yourself like peaceful at peace >> i think everyone ends up feeling lighter, i think is the best way to describe it. for so many people it is about management you know the things that trigger you. therefore you try and stay away

from that. but what i do know is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for absolutely everybody. >> reporter: only thing i want in my life is to feel like peaceful you have lived in the united states for two years do you feel peaceful now >> i don't know how many people feel truly peaceful, you know? i feel -- at times i feel massively at peace but with everything that is going to be in the world and trying to help and trying to use the platform and inference to try and steer people to try to help again, like i think like the biggest concern or the biggest issue people wrestle with on daily basis that does provide more anxiety for me and for them is the helplessness. we as human beings are compassionate people but when your life becomes really hard, it can be for some harder to find the compassion for other people but what i've learned over the years is for myself, i find healing in helping others.

and i think that what's we should be focus on. >> reporter: i feel like life happens on a random wednesday. like here is an example. some say oh my god i'm going to go on a vacation, my life is going to be great. and it is like exclamation points the vacation, the graduation, the marriage, the baby those are all up here. the other exclamation marks are down here. sad things that happen loss, divorce. whatever most of life is wednesday. it doesn't have the highs. and it doesn't have the lows it is just wednesday what is a wednesday like for you? >> wednesday like, it revolves around the kids as much as humanly possible this whole working from home stuff is not all it's cracked up to be. certainly postcovid. because it is really hard when your kids and you are in the same place it is really hard to separate the work from them because they kind of overlap archie spends more time interrupting our zoom calls than anybody else. >> does he have your personality. >> -- off them as well. >> reporter: is he kind of like you? got a little bit of your cheeky thing.

the things you do? >> yeah, i think so. i always try to keep that. the cheekiness i something that keeps you alive there is so much to be happy about in the outside world but there is also so much to worry about. my sort of mantra now every day is a dangerous one because i need to make sure i don't have burn out is trying to make sure i make a world a better place for my kids. otherwise what is the point. responsibility i feel as a parent you probably feel as well and we can't fix everything. we know that but what we can do is be there for each other. >> you obviously made lot of news recently. you came to the uk you saw your grandmother how was that >> it was great. it was really nice to see her. to be able to see her in some element of privacy was nice. and had a chance to go back the uk for couple years apart from those two times. one for my grandfather's funeral and one for unveiling statue of my mom. >> how did it feel being with her?

>> being with her? it was great it was just so nice to see here. she's on great form. always got a great sense of humor with me and make sure she's protected and. >> reporter: you make her laugh. that's what she always says. did you do it again. >> it was really nice to catch up with her and, you know, home for me now is, you know, for the time being, it's in the states and it feels that way as well. >> does it. >> yeah. we've been welcomed with open arms and we've got such a great community up in santa barbara. >> reporter: so you feel like that's home for for you. >> yeah. >> reporter: is that weird to say? >> no but i'm sure it will become a thing. >> reporter: your grandma is going to be 96 what is the best thing about her. >> her sense of humor and ability to see the humor in so many different things. with have a really special relationship we talk about things she can't talk about with anybody else so that is always a nice piece to her. but i think she's -- i think after so many you get bored of

birthdays. >> you think she's bored of her 96th she won't be bored of the jubilee, will she? >> no. i don't think so she's had a few now and every one is slightly different. >> reporter: do you think you will come. >> i don't know yet. lots of things yet security issues and everything else this is what i'm trying to do. trying to make it possible that i can get my kids to meet her. >> reporter: march marked two years since harry stepped back as a senior royal. your family at home. do you miss them >> yes i think especially over the last two years, for most people, have they not missed their family, ability to even get home and see them of course. that's -- you know, that's a huge part of it. >> reporter: do you miss your brother, your dad? >> for me at the moment i'm here focused on these guys. and these families and giving everything that i can. 120% to them to make sure they have the experience of a lifetime that's my focus here and when i leave here, i get

back and my focus is on my family who i miss massively. >> you do. i bet. >> two little people. >> i was thinking about a new life like you have got a whole restart. you have a whole new focus, a whole new nucleus. how does that land with you? >> i think the focus is very much the same. >> is it >> certainly from my wife's point of view to the two of us. this is a life she signed off for and we were committed doing together as a couple forever because of the circumstances, we've now moved that life of service to the states and we'll continue doing what we were doing before so in that regard nothing's changed for us it is just a little bit more complicated to have to sort of restart. >> sure. what do you love about fatherhood >> what do i love about -- all of it. the chaos, the learning. the reminder of just every

element of yourself, your soul when you are not a parent you can get into all sort of different stuff and maybe sometimes forget who you are and suddenly as a parent and archie, at the age he's at, asking you all the questions. why this, why that, why tesla and instead of just trying to move it on, i give him the most honest answer i can. and then it goes on and on and on until he's satisfied. and then that's it it's done. otherwise it ends up because the world is round and that's is it way life is. >> that's just the way it goes >> so it's like, i love it i love every part of it. i've always wanted to be a dad i've always wanted my own kids and now i have two little people who i'm responsible for. >> do you tell them or tell archie about your mom. >> yes yeah yeah. very much so i tell him all the stuff that happened but certainly that this is, you know, grandma diana and got a couple of photos up in the house. >> reporter: in these moments do you ever feel your mom's

presence. >> yeah, no, for me it is constant has been over the last two years. more so than ever before and it is almost as though she's done her bit with my brother and now she's very much like helping me got him set up and now she's helping me set up. that's what it feels like. he's got his kids. i've got my kids you know the circumstances are obviously different. but now, i feel her presence in almost everything that i do now. but definitely more so in the last two years than ever before. without question so she's watching over house. >> sure she's proud of you. >> i'm sure she is. >> reporter: prince harry caraying on his mother's commitment to make the world a better place as he honors those who triumph. >> -- and his family just flourish in moments like this, means everything but the very simple thing, which is the power of sport.

not just physical but the mental rehabilitation that it takes is phenomenal. but none of it will be possible without the mind set they are proving that the impossible is entirely possible. mainly with the strength of a mind set saying i can achieve anything i've done this before. i'm going to do it again >> wow. >> you know, his wife was with him. and he said every time the athletes saw him, they were like where's meghan he was like who am i by the time we had gotten there she was on a plane home. but that was also the focus. those games mean the world to him. >> see that. >> came from opening ceremonies and going to be there for closing. and even still trying to work out what he was going toty sat a out what he is going to say at the end. >> i could listen all day to that it is interesting what he said and what he didn't say. >> that's what i was thinking. obviously there are many issues with the family. and he was willing to share some of those issues and a lot of it he was keeping close to him. there is a lot i think left to unpack >> it was interesting to also hear him say that his home is

here for the time being >> yeah. >> that was interesting. >> yeah, but i think he underscored and it he himself said i know this is going to be a big deal when i say this this is home he spent his whole life in london and i think he knew he was going to make -- he basically said i'm going make news on that. that was going to make a splash. yeah but by the way he was delightful and he was light hearted and he had a -- >> so were you by the way. just a fantastic wide -- >> good "making space" pod cast. put the whole thing. because i'd like to listen to the whole -- >> oh there's more. >> we're going to see more of it next few hours. >> some at 9:00. and we'll have some at 10:00 we're going talk more about joel and some of the other athlete who is by the way, one guy walked up to me. had just won a gold medal and they give them tulips. he said i just want to give you these. i said why

back now 8:36 with today's koourm this morning we're focusing on something that picked up during the pandemics. pandemic using apps to send money to friends and family. >> for lot of folks it is quick and a simple way to send cash to others but as some unlucky people are finding out. fraud and scams are on the rise. since 2016 fraud jumped a staggering 733%. >> lucky for us, we've got nbc senior consumer investigative correspondent and super hero vicky nguyen on our side you have important tips. let's talk about which appers with talking about. >> three key apps to pay attention to paypal, venmo and zelle. people use these apps every day. they are linked to our bank accounts we pay each other. you take me out to dinner. i want to pay my share i'll send it to you. but increasingly these apps are being used to pay for goods and

services online and for people to get paid when selling things on marketplaces. >> what are some scams people are running. >> any time there is money, there will be people trying to steal it from you. the better business bureau says three big scams to look out for. one you pay for something and never get it and two, scammers using stolen credit cards to pay you for an item and that transaction later gets declined declined and three they are sending overpayments sorry i sent you 200 can you send me the difference by the time you send it back the original payment disappeared by the way we're supposed on on the this one i should say the companies we contacted. they say they take this very seriously. they have best practices to help protect consumers and some cases they also have payment protection for eligible purchases. do know that you have recourse.

>> this is kind of the wild west of payment so if you want to stay safe, how can you be sure? the first thing remember the purpose. really want to send money to people you know and trust. two, hoda, be meticulous when you are entering that user name or the phone number. if i want to send money to hoda kotb i don't to type in hoda kotc that could be a typo so -- to make sure it is the right person so take advantage of those features >> okay. so if -- i use these up as a lot to pay for goods and services. so what should i do? >> number one. always try to link it to your credit card. not your bank account. because you will have an extra layer of fraud protection, hoda, if you do that secondly, be really careful about who you are sending money to avoid impulse buying 42% of the people better business bureau surveyed said they were scammed when they were

just passively scanning facebook and we just bought only planners for $199 representable seller. home depot com my mom on facebook, these are the planters you just bought i found them $49.99. and i looked closer at the internet address and it had the words shoppings.com with the shopping spelled with one p. i google drive it. it was not legit people were like they never sent my item. i can't get ahold of customer service. so don't buy something right away because you think it is a great deal if it is cheap, it is probably a red flag run don't walk >> another thing about thesis apps i juice a lot of them as well. there is a lot of personal data stored in the apps what can folks do to keep that safe

a text or e-mail you don't know. these are e-mail phishing and smishingis scams >> what? >> sms through your text to get information. and finally, be deliberate and careful about whether you are spending your money. make sure it is people you know or sites that you know. >> great tips. as always. >> excellent. >> straight ahead, we're going make eating the spring greens easier for your family how to sneak them into foods your kids already eat.
