its future economic outlook, forecasting growth of just under 3% this year. the january forecast had projected more than 4% growth. the bank pointed to the war in ukraine and to inflation among other factors. treasury secretary janet yellen says she expects u.s. inflation to remain high for some time, but she says president biden's policies are not to blame. she appeared before the senate finance committee. >> do you agree with the san francisco fed that the nearly $2 trillion spending package was a significant causal factor in the high inflation we have seen this past year? >> senator, we are seeing high inflation in almost all developed countries around the world, and they have very

different fiscal policies, so it cannot be the case that the bulk of the inflation that we are experiencing reflects the impact of the arp. judy: inflation in the u.s. is now running at what-year highs. it has been a busy day for voters in several states. california is featuring two high-profile races. in los angeles, two democrats lead a 12-candidate field in the mayor's race, and san francisco district attorney faces a recall vote amid mounting public anger over crime. in ukraine, russia's military claimed it now controls nearly all of luhansk province in the east, including much of the city of donetsk. the ukrainian president said that his forces urgently need help to push the russians back.

meetings today, there is reason for hope, but hope is a very fragile but in a very stormy senate. i will tell you what is on the table right now, what senators are looking at earnestly. first, let's talk about some of the things they are discussing. they want to encourage red flag lost in the state, not a national red flag law. they also talked about including juvenile records in background checks. a lot of these large shootings, of course, caused by young men who may have had some sort of interaction with police or other officials in the past. then were talking about increasing the waiting period for getting a gun if you are under 20 and on -- under 21 years old. on the table right now in the u.s. senate, the idea of raising the age to purchase some guns, especially military-style assault weapons. i feel very solid about this. i spoke to senators and to aids

are involved closely -- senators and to aides who are involved closely. it is a critical moment these next few days. judy: picking up on that, talk about the political dynamics here. you have looked at which lawmakers are key in seeing if something happens or not. >> some of these are familiar faces, but i want to show viewers the key faces to watch. there are 4 senators really leading the discussions. kyrsten sinema and chris murphy of connecticut, also john cornyn of texas. the two in the middle, cis murphy and john cornyn, are really the key. i'm told if those two can agree on sething, they think something can come out of the senate. of course, you need at least 10 republicans ultimately to pass through the senate. a lot of these faces are familiar to our viewers. these are senators who have been

in discussions and overlapping meetings and i'm told are hoping to meet tomorrow together to see if they can reach a framework by the end of the week, but senators are not the only voices that are important in this right now. there are other voices, as you heard earlier, in the newscast. families asking for urgency and also kind of unusual characters like the actor matthew mcconaughey. he was born in uvalde, texas. he came to washington yesterday, had dinner with senators. here's what he said, trying to make the case that there should be a practical agreement going forward that both gun owners and those who don't own guns both want. >> response will gun owners are fed up with the second amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals. can both sides rise above? can both sides see beyond the political problem at hand and admit that we have a life preservation problem on our hands? >> part of the pressure here,

that idea of life preservation. judy: in the meantime, the house of representatives going ahead with more ambitious legislation. >> the house will start voting on gun bills tomorrow. the democrats do expect to pass the house first a national law. -- national red flag law. another idea would be to raise the aged by seautomatic weapons. they would like a band of high-capacity magazines and background checks for ghost guns. these are ideas we expect to pass the democratic-led house that likely will not influence the senate either way. we expect all members of the democratic caucus likely to be on the floor tomorrow for a national crime debate. judy: you know this congress well. you know this issue of guns has come up again and again and these tragic crimes, one after another. >> i want to point out sort of where we are with gun laws in

this country. let's look at what major gun laws have passed -- 1993, the brady act. 1994, the federal ban on assault weapons, but that expired in 2004. that next year is when congress passed protection for gun manufacturers, and look at what we are seeing after 2005. if you look at the kinds of shootings we have seen across this country. these are just some of the most well-known ones, and during that time, no major gun legislation. there was a mixed bill which kind of ended the loophole in 2017, but nothing major. i will say, i feel something different this time. you always say that, but it is less emotional right now, and it feels more pragmatic. it feels like members of the senate no this country does not think congress is doing its job, both parties. they want to show that they can do something on this issue. judy: a lot of people watching. thank you. >> you're welcome.

♪ judy: in the coming days, the u.s. the prim court is expected to issue what could be a momentous decision upending abortion rights. last month, a leaked draft revealed conservative justices were preparing to overturn roe v. wade, leaving abortion regulation to the states. it is not clear how closely a final opinion will reflect the draft, but the leak alone has already reshaped abortion access for millions of americans. i'm joined now by "nehour" community reporters adam kemp in oklahoma city, gabrielle hayes in st. louis, and kristin zero rodriguez delgado in fresno, california. hello to all of you. i know you have done a lot of reporting around this and i want

to ask you about it. i know the state of oklahoma, there has been a lot of movement around abortion access. tell us, remind us, what are the rules, the restrictions now, and how might they change in coming days? >> that's right. oklahoma governor kevin stitt signed house bill 4320 seven late last month, which effectively outlaws abortion in the state almost entirely. that comes on the heels of a different band the government signed earlier in may which outlawed abortion after six weeks, which is before most women know that they are pregnant. it is important to know that it is and election year, and governor stitt is seeking reelection here in oklahoma. he has promised to sign every antiabortion measure that reaches his desk, and he has gned five so far this year. abortion advocates say this

latest one is the strictest in the nation, as it not only outlaws abortion at fertilization but also allows private citizens to sue one another. there are a few exceptions to this law. to save the life of the mother is one of them as well as for incidents of rape and incest, but those incidents have to have been reported to law enforcement. judy: how are abortion providers responding to all this? >> abortion providers have effectively ended abortions. they are not providing them right now. the four clinics in the state stopped them, both medical and surgical abortions. planned parenthood operates two clinics in the sta, and they actually stopped providing abortions after the six-we could ban went into effect in early

may. >> we have seen already that oklahoma patients have been displaced from our clinics because of the massive influx of patients from texas. we see a lot of patients that come from texas, and we were seeing many in oklahoma coming from texas, and i always think there must be thousands of patients that do not have the means to make it to be seen in oklahoma, to be seen in tulsa, to b seen in kansas, to be seen in colorado or new mexico. >> talking to providers on the ground here in oklahoma, they are referring patients to nearby states -- kansas, new mexico, raleigh -- kansas, new mexico, colorado, as far as california to find care. different funds have been set up here in oklahoma to help provide money for travel costs as well as hotel stays, travel care, and the price of the procedure itself.

judy: gabrielle hayes in st. louis, if roe is overturned by the supreme court, what would abortion access look like in missouri? >> the story goes back to 2019 when missouri passed a law that would almost entirely ban abortions in the state if roe does fall. the only exception there is is for medical emergencies. it is also important to note that when at law was passed, it was challenged in the federal courts almost immediately, a day before it was set to go into effect, it was held up or blocked by a judge and has been held up in litigation last couple of years, so it is still tied up, and if it were to fall,

it would be almost a complete ban. i would also note that after the draft came out, we did see our attorney general kind of already say he is prepared to make an opinion that would support that. judy: if roe, if the decision that dates back to the 1970's is overturned, how would abortion providers respond to that capital i know you have been talking to them. remind us, what is the access right now to abortion in missouri? >> right now, there is only one clinic in the whole state that a person can go to to get access to an abortion. not long after the law was passed, they had a banner on the building that said "still here."

today they have a new banner that says "celebrating 90 years." that lets the community know they can still have access to abortion. it is also important to note that there are states around missouri where people have access as well. we know places across the river in illinois, clinics over on that side of the river are already preparing to be able to offer services if roe in fact does fall. judy: i want to turn out to fresno, california. as we said in a moment ago, if the supreme court overturns roe, the decision goes back to the states. california is one of the states we expect that we'll be looking to protect women's access further. what do you see going on there in that regard? >> that is exactly right.

before news of the supreme court leak, california had actually been moving [indiscernible] the governor had previously been moving to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for abortions and had allowed abortion to be included in medical insurance covered -- coverage plans. the governor announced the state would move to amend the constitution to enshrine abortion rights in the constitution, so now legislators are working on that and they have until the end of this month to put that on the ballot for november. but legislators are also going a step further, including most recently, moving forward with bills that would essentially strengthen reproductive care rights in the state. one of those includes shielding pregnant women who might have a miscarriage from prosecution. we recently saw here two

high-profile cases of women who were prosecuted for having stillborn babies over alleged use of drugs, and civil rights lawyers were alarmed by that. these bills are intended to protect women from that prosecution, but the state in general is moving forward to strengthen the right to abortion and the general right to reproductive care in the state. judy: we heard adam refer and moment ago to have -- how oklahoma abortion providers were overwhelmed as women from texas came across the border, looking to seek access to abortion. tell us about the situation around providers in california. are they prepared if roe is overturned and women come across the border into california seeking abortions? >> i spoke to planned parenthood

, and they told mehey had anticipated this and they had expanded their capacity for patients who might be coming from different states. they had also been training more clinicians in order to provide those services if they see these influxes, but advocates from planned parenthood are also keeping a very close eye in places like the san joaquin valley where access to abortion is more limited than it is in other parts of the state. one of the things also is planned parenthood is trying to make sure that services are not permitted for people in california and that they are able to provide these services to residents in state but still able to accommodate people who might be coming from different states. judy: we know as we wait to see what the supreme court does, all eyes will be on the states. to see how they handle whatever the decision is. i want to thank all three of you

. thank you so much. ♪ for the past several years, lebanon has been in economic freefall. its currency is close to worthless. it's government is fractured and ineffective. there's almost no electric power and there's less security. lebanon's people are suffering. your special correspondent sent us this report on a country in collapse -- our special correspondent sent us this report on a country in collapse. >> as a ranger in the country's mountainous north, he considers the trees the emblem of their flag, many of them hundreds of

essential that lebanon can no longer provide for its people. the econo here has collapsed, sending the currency value crashing from 10 per dollar to 30,000. for those stuck here, this is no longer a crisis situation. this is a new reality. they are now facing a future in which the most basic necessities are luxuries. >> in may for the first time since the crisis began, lebanon held an election, a chance for change at last, or is it? many were apathetic, more focused on survival than a government they feel lives in another world. >> we lebanese have had enough. >> absent a functioning state, as so often here, it is the lebanese people who are helping

i'm constantly in pain, but i don't like to talk about it. i constantly feel defeated and miserable. god forbid what's lying in the future. >> robert checks the dwindling supplies at head of another meal session. these days, the kitchen is just taking things day by day. >> when they do not get enough, they have to close for weeks at a time. the united nations estimated nearly half of lebanese were food insecure, meaning they don't have enough to eat to stay healthy, and that number only looks set to grow. salaries are not going up. the economy is still going down, and for people here, nothing is changing. can people survive here just on charity forever? donations are reducing. >> even the donation will not be

enough for all the people to survive. >>'s team opens the gates, ready to do what they can for their community, knowing the day approaches when they will have nothing left to give. ♪ judy: a series of recently opened vatican archives are shedding on the relationship between pope pius xii and adolf hitler as he led nazi germany during world war ii -- shedng new light on the relationship. >> in 2020, the vatican released millions of documents on pope pius xii that were previously hidden from public you. they include transcript of negotiations between the pope

and nazis. a new book published today takes a deeper look at these revelations. historian david kurtzer is the author of that book called "the pope at war: the secret history of pius xii, mussolini, and adolf hitler." a lot of folks know previous versions of htory around pius xii one of two ways. he was either called hitler's pope, and anti-semi, or an official who did everything he could to save jews during the war. what is your view? >> neither one is really accurate. they are both extremes. the fact is pius xii was afraid, certainly during the first years of the war, that the nazis were going to win, so he had to epare for a europe that was going to be under nazi control. so his main concern in those

early years was to protect the church in a time when europe could be under nazi control. it was not that he loved the nazis, much less hitler's, but this was his thinking. >> what does that mean when you say protect the church? you mention the meeting we now know happened between the pope and a personal envoy of hitler's. >> probably the most shocking finding from these archives that just opened after 50 years of pressure and interest in being able to see what they contain is that within weeks of pius being elected pope -- he is elected in early 1939 -- hitler's saw an opportunity and decided to send a personal envoy, who himself is a rather colorful character. the great-grandson of queen ctoria of england, a nazi prince who was married to the daughter of the king of italy, and he would begin to shuttle

back and forth between hitler and the pope for years engaged in secret negotiations. we did not know about these until just now. >> when it comes down to what pope pius xii did or did not do in terms of saving lives, can you tell about on october night in rome? >> october 6, 19 43, the ss had lists of all the jews in rome and went door-to-door and tried to arrest all of rome's jews. they found about 1260, arrested them, brought them to a military college just outside the walls of the vatican and held them there for two days. what we have learned from these recently opened archives is that the vatican worked very hard to show that some of them had been baptized and therefore should not be considered jews from the point of view of the church and therefore should not be shipped

off to ashridge -- to auschwitz with the rest of them and that about 250 were freed before two days later they were put on a train of 1007, of whom, i think about 16 would survive. the pope did send his cardinal secretary of state to meet with the german ambassador to say, do you really need to go through with this? can you do something about this? but the ambassador told th cardinal secretary of state's have been ordered by the highest level, and you don't want me to protest on your behalf, do you? and the cardinal secretary of state said no, i'm not insisting on any protests. >> the vatican has come forward when previous allegations were made. have they responded in any way to your reporting?

>> other national roman catholic churches have come to terms with this history, and part of the history is how was that ithe middle of the 20th century that millions of jews could be massacred, little children, old people, by people who thought of themselves at -- as christian? more than half of them roman catholics, but also protestants. the vatican releasea statement in i think 1998 in which they said their own demonization of the jews had absolutely nothing to do with the holocaust. i think my book is probably not entirely appreciated by many of the vatican, although there are those in the vatican when i worked in the archives who have whispered to me they are happy this is finally coming out. >> what about how we view all

these years later the role of pope pius xii and the leadership of the church? there has been a push all these years later for his sainthood. >> the pope has tried to beatified and canonized by the conservatives of the church who see the church as having gone wrong after his death with the second vatican council under his successor, john xxiii. first of all, i wish they would read this book, but i also wish they would be willing to consider this history under, but i'm afraid for those who really do not have an open mind, and it is unlikely it will change their minds, so i think the drive to make a saint up pius xii will continue. >> thank you so much.

i was asked and i suggested american film institute. >> why do you think they did not think to include film? >> people did not recognize film as an art form, and they did not know who the directors were. they only knew cecily demille and alfred hitchcock, who were personalities of the day -- they only knew settled be demille -- cecil b demille and alfred hitchcock, who were personalities of the day. judy: you mentioned kennedy center honors. you produced and directed that wonderful annual program for -- what? over three decades. what do you think that brought to washington? that really has been the principal connection between washington, you know, the seat of government, and the seat of entertainment. >> to have these great

judy: singer-songwriter sid is

one of the most prominent voices to sing about same-sex relationships in r&b music. she offers a brief take tonight on her path to being an artist. >> i produced my first song -- i believe i was 16. finishing that song was fulfilling in a way that nothing else is, and i guess that's why i still make music. my mom, i think, had a he influence on my taste in music, as did my dad. his brother is a radio producer. i guess i gw up knowing that was possible as a career choice. i got to grow up in a household where i never got a noise complaint. everything i wanted to do musically, personally, i was able to do at home and with them. the first instrument i grew up playing was piano.

i would say my computer is my perfect instrument. there's something about engineering that i always come back to and reinvent for myself. the most powerful thing about producing on writing my own music is knowing that no one else could make that. it is impossible. i did not grow up performing for people. i did not grow up singing. that is me truly having to step outside of myself. music motivates me and inspires me more than anything else. i don't listen to music every day. there are times and phases where i drive in silence. there are times when i'm low and i need to stay there, and i know that i'm going to get out of it, and in those times, i don't look to music for help because i love music so much, i don't want to

associate it with depression or sadness. i think every artist, every musician may go through a time where they feel like they need to work and work and work. some of us are able to work that way and be productive, and then some of us do not get the best of ourselves. i ttoork on music when i really, really want to, not a like i have to. when i am making music, the process is usually really quick and really simple, and i don't like to overthink or overdo it. i try to have everything come naturally, as natural as possible is the best way for me. this is my brief but spectacular take on being an artist. judy: you can watch more brief but spectacular videos at pbs.org/news hour/brief.
