thanks for the round table. we'll be back next week. if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." it has all the telltale signs of what we saw in crimea. it's professional, coordinated. certainly it bears the telltale signs of moscow's involvement. >> a rash of we bell i don't knows in eastern ukraine. i'm craig melvin. you are watching msnbc. armed pro russian militias in the streets. now the government in kiev says it's launching a full scale anti-terrorist operation. with russian troops on the border, what coulds possibly go wrong? >> we have been concerned about injustice. we've got to be concerned about people who may not be part of our group. >> rand paul and ted cruz capture the spotlight with the

with right wing. what their focus could mean for shifting the balance of power in the senate. and imagine this. states with no lessons on the civil rights movement in their public schools at all. we'll tell you which states. >> it's a low part of my life. frustrating. hard to comprehend. i would never have movement again. >> feelings like that could become a thing of the past. new research that's ground breaking. today's big idea. then later another inspiring story. this one from a young man with perfect grades. a 5.0. he has a perfect s.a.t. score. he and his mom join me to talk about how he did it and which scholarship he's going to take. so much to get to on a sunday. we start with the crisis in ukraine where the situation seems to be getting dicier by the second. the interim government in kiev has just declared a deadline for pro russian separatists to lay

down their guns and hand back control of government buildings in several eastern crew crane yan towns. we have seen deadly clashes and the president order a full scale anti-terrorist operation against the pro russian are separatists. now moscow is weighing in saying that announcement to mobilize ukrainian forces amounts to a criminal order. nbc's eamon mohaldin joins us. let me start with you. first of all, how long do we have until the deadline? what happens after that? >> reporter: we are several hours away from that deadline. the ukrainian government didn't spell out what it plans to do. it's given the pro russian

separatist militias until then to give up their weapons, leave the government buildings and clear the roads in and out of towns and cities where they set up many makeshift checkpoints. if they don't the military is expected to carry out some kind of response. we don't yet know what the scale of the operation would look like, given the fact that it involves sevenen cities now with government buildings under the control of pro russian military forces. we have heard from sources. there are ukrainian special forces deployed to some areas already. >> that's happening right now with regard with to the russian troops that are massed along the border? what are you seeing? >> reporter: it's been hard to hear if there have been

extraordinary activities on the other side. that russia has no intention of intervening militarily inside crew yan. but the presence of the troops created a sense of tension inside ukraine because now the government there is considering what russia may do as a response to its crack down on the militias in the government buildings. it's not lost on p minds of people in kiev. >> ayman mohyeldin for us in kiev. thank you. i want to bring in kristen welker, white house correspondent, for us. russia are's oh foreign minister saying the west should bring in allies in ukraine's government. bring those allies under control. what's the white house saying? >> there is bipartisan support. the obama administration. also republican lawmakers saying

up rest appearses to be the work of russia. samantha power saying this is highly coordinated. it points to what we saw with crimea. john mccain making a similar point today. power issuing new warnings saying the united states is prepared. powers said the president is prepared to propose new sanctions including on energy, banking and mining sectors. so far the sanctions have had an impact, a bite. the stock market has gone down. i have been speaking to an expert who says the president should send military aid to ukraine.

secretary of state john kerry reached out to sergei lavrov and said the united states is concerned about the escalating crisis in ukraine. vice president joe biden is preparing to travel to ukraine next week. back to you. >> kristen, thank you. turn to the weather for a moment. the risk for severe weather is ramping up again today in the nation's heartlandment take a look at the map. forecasters are predicting hail, damaging winds and the risk of tornadoes from southeast texas up to st. louis. cities like san antonio, dallas and tulsa are all in the path of a line of storms moving east tonight. two people were killed last week when tornadoes swept across the deep south. to politics now. the wonderful world of politics is buzzing today. newly fuelled speculation about 2016. the question of who will carry the republican flag in the next

president shall election was front and center at the conservative freedom summit in new hampshire. the brain trust is here. chris kafinas was communications tor for john edwards. bob franken from king features and catherine ward, managing editor at "reason" magazine. good to see you on a sunday afternoon. >> hello. >> chris, much of the focus was on senators ron paul -- rand paul, i should say, and ted cruz. senator paul was asked if he thinks he's a front runner for 2016. this was his response. >> i don't know if that's good luck or bad. why don't we not go there? i guess it's better than not being noticed. no matter what, i think the republican party needs to evolve, change.

>> does rand paul see himself as the guy? >> i think he does. he's got a base of support. he doesn't fit the traditional republican mold. obviously more libertarian. more libertarian than tea partyish. he creates a different image. the problem senator paul has, senator cruz has, it's a battle between the fringe. to win a presidential election you have to figure out how to win in a more progressive, less white majority country. you have to figure out how to win women majorities and young voterers. i don't see them able to do that. >> it seems paul is acknowledging what happened just in that sound bite alone. >> it's dangerous for the gop to

feel by saying we should probably do something about the fact that only white dudes like us. they say, now we have done something. that's not true. there is a danger for the gop they will go big government on this and say, we have to give minority groups handouts. >> i love it. but i would rather see them go to the tea party principles than say the message of oh small business support, freedom and reduced defense spending could and should appeal to minorities and immigrants. >> we are talking about rand paul. he has stiff competition. the post calling rand paul and ted cruz big draws this weekend at is um sum mitt. this is kelly o'donnell asking ted cruz if he was in new hampshire to test the 2016 war you ares. listen. >> what i'm doing is thanking and encurrentlying grassroots

activists. new hampshire has a wonderful tradition. its citizens take the democratic process seriously. they take their responsibility as voters seriously. they take vetting candidates seriously. >> he's in new hampshire. so his real answer was, yes, i'm running for president. otherwise why would i p be here? >> he was here to thank the grassroots activists. >> can you imagine somebody saying i hate the grassroots activists. at this stage of the campaign you have candidates recovering new hampshire, south carolina, that kind of thing. they will be spending time there. >> how do you make a ted cruz, a rand paul. how do you make them into viable national candidates with widespread appeal to the middle of the voting spectrum in this

country. >>. >> we were talking earlier. if he ends up being the republican nominee. he's not cookie cutter. he goes behind the appeal to old white guys. he appeals to a segment of the youth population, particularly with his outspoken complaints about the security that people feel they are having with the msa stuff. i happen to think he might be somebody that fits. >> talk about making a rand paul to somebody who is viable. how you make a ted cruz into somebody who doesn't seem nutty at times. you have a guy like jeb bush who is about as moderate and main stream as they come when it comes to republican presidential wanna bes. no?

>> if jeb bush's last name was smith. he would be a front runner. just being honest. it's the curse of him that he basically has a name that's not popular. ironically, not even popular within the republican party. if you listened to the coverage of the freedom conference. >> he was booeded. >> in new hampshire. they were very critical of oh president bush. his problem is the republican party, we have seen it. this is where where krusz and paul. they can exploit it within the primary. they don't have a cross over message. to really win you have to have a main stream message. they don't. >> talk about jeb bush. what's your take. are we to believe because his last name is bush he can't be president anymore?

>> if he wasn't part of it, i mean i think this is -- the idea if they water him down it could be viable. i would rather see them build a new coalition. instead of saying, oh, look, i'm a social conservative. i'm not scary. love me gop. what if they moved the other way and said, hey, you know, i actually don't want to tow the line. i want to talk about where i differ and appeal to different people than the folks the gop has relied on in the past. >> bob, we have been talking about 2016. let's talk about 2014 for a moment. very much in question. the new york times reporting 12 senate seats that could flip parties. that would lead to a power shift in the upper chamber. how concerned should democrats be about maintaining the senate majority. >> well, probably wrist slashing concerned.

the senate majority is the republicans' to lose as a matter of fact. if the election was held today, i suspect the senate would go republican. as far as they are concerned, they are close to turning out the lights. >> my wrists are fine right now. i want to state for the record. not yet. here is the interesting thing. with obamacare hitting the 7 million number you have a less centurying of the political toxicity the republicans were trying to exploit. because of where the seats are, i don't think it is a ground swell people are envisioning. it's a spring lull. wait until july and august to see whether they have momentum or not. >> syndicated columnist, you're a brain trust newbie. we enjoyed you.

books from her library. hundreds, if not thousands, of unpublished photographs. enough to fill enough to fill a floor of any museum. >> items from rosa parks being kept from public view after a legal fight among her heirs. even her congressional gold medal. a crucial part of oh education about the civil rights move lt. a new report finds civil rights education in america is lacking

seriously. a southern poverty law center said most states fail to educate students. there were letter grades. just three states, georgia, louisiana and south carolina all received an a. there are five states with no requirements at all to teach young people about civil rights. maureen costello is the director of teaching tolerance at the southern poverty law center. very simply, what's happening here and why? >> well, a lot of states think it's original matter, important in the south or important for african-american students f. they aren't in the south and they don't have a lot of african-american students in the classroom they figure it is not a national story. states aren't giving the message to teachers that the movement is

important. >> the five states that don't have have requirements. where are they? >> they tend to be in the west. alaska, wooim, oregon, iowa and maine. not in the west. >> not states with a lot of black people. >> that's correct. >> what were you looking for? >> we were looking for a combination of things. we were looking for state standards. we expected teachers to teach and students to learn. what did they require? did they go behind it. martin luther king and i have a dream. we also looked for the supports they gave teachers in terms of additional resources, helpful lessons about the civil rights movement. partnerships with local museums or amistad commissions, things like that. we waiteded on what states required and in a sense they got effort grade for the extra effort they made to make teacher

jobs easier. >> you mentioned the fact that you ask people about the civil rights movement. dr. king and i have a dream. what more should we learn about the civil rights movement? >> i think we should be learning that it wasn't just two people or a handful of leaders who came up and said we could make change. there was a march and then laws gots passed. it's important to reck are niez that the move lt was made up lit alley of hundreds of thousands of people who made individual decisions in their lives to take significant risks against tremendous obstacles including legal obstacles like jim crow laws and the threat of violence, as you saw with the kkk. people died during the civil rights movement. they should know the groups really had to think about the tactics and they organize oh niezed. the grips were involved.

the tactics, enormous opposition. students need to know that change is possible. it takes a lot of work. >> that's a great spot to leave it. >> from the poverty law center, maureen, good to see you. >> carbon emissions rose at the highest recorded rate in three decades between 2000 and 2010. that's according to a new united nations report. the same report does provide a glimmer of hope suggesting we can still avoid the more serious consequences of climate change. it all depends on whether governments act soon. i don't want to think about the alternative. i don't even know how to answer that. i mean, no one knows how long their money is going to last. i try not to worry, but you worry. what happens when your paychecks stop? because everyone has retirement questions. ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach.

we are following breaking news from overland park, kansas, just south of kansas city.

there's been a shooting at the jewish community center there. local police confirmed to ksb multiple shots were fired. the affiliate is reporting shots fired at two locations. no injuries are reported soer if a. police have not confirmed whether there are victims. we don't know anything about the status of the gunman. there is a shooting at the jewish community center in overland park, kansas, south of kansas city. we'll bring you more information as it becomes available. this week marks a grim anniversary for the city of boston, for all of us, in fact. tuesday it will have been one year since two bombs went off at the finish line of the boston marathon. the city will hold a memorial

service to remember the three people killed. it will be a testament to just how bean town has recovered. six days later, 36,000 runners will put feet to pavement for the 118ths boston marathon. joining me now from boston is andy burrfoot. he won in 1968. he's now ap editor at large for runner's world magazine. you ran the marathon last year. you were stopped a mile short because of the bombing. you are running a week from tomorrow. what's it like for you training for this particular marathon. >> i think this is not only going to be the greatest boston marathon ever, but the single greatest marathon on earth. i was fortunate enough to run the 100th boston marathon in 1996. that was a fabulous celebration. this one dwarfs it. there is so much more meaning

and emotion on all sides. the runners, spectators. people of boston. we are really all in it together this year. >> kim coward ran last year and told one running blog, quote, the only thing that's going to help me heal is to go back to boston. have have you found that to be true? >> i believe that is true. as one of those that was stopped half a mile short of the finish last year, i'm very much looking forward to getting to the finish. my real thought this year. i have two. one, i want to thank the citizens of boston. the spectators supporting this race for 117 years. i haven't run quite half of those. this will be 49 years since my first boston. the fans have been there. they have always been fantastic. there is a card. maybe the unicorn. i will hand out cards to fans as

i run the race. it says thank you for being here and making this a great experience. i was running for the martin richard fan. there was a photo showing his marvelous painting. that's a message i want to take with me. >> the boston marathon has been the super bowl of marathons. it's amazing that this marathon has become very much more to so many people this year. >> it is the super bowl of marathons it's always been the race where the best in the world run with the middle of the pack and the back of the pack. these days, of course, even the back of the pack has to qualify. so we can say they are elite. patriots day in boston whether it is paul revere or boston's long, glorious history, now the

boston marathon of 2014 is going to add to the fabled days of the city and this race. >> editor at large of runner's world magazine. thank you. good luck next week. >> thank you, craig. want to go ahead and update the breaking news from overland park, kansas, south of kansas city. a shooting has happened at the jewish community center there. our affiliate reports one of the shooting victims is in critical condition at a local hospital. we continue to get pictures from the scene. crime scene investigators areless on the -- also on the scene there. unconfirmed reports of a shooting at another facility there in overland park, kansas, as well. again, two shootings at this point. one of them confirmed. one of them unconfirmed. we are working to gather information. one of the victims is in critical condition.

two things happened in the past few days shining new light on women in pay and women and work. the first came from washington when democrats tried to pass the paycheck fairness act. that was a bill primary in closing the wage gap between men and women. the second was in the form of new data painting a grim picture for stay at home moms and for all of us. more moms a r staying home and not working. why? and what does that mean? i want to bring in sarah glen from the center for american progress. good to see you. >> let's start with the paycheck fairness act. the bill would have required some companies to report salary information to the government. also make it easier for female employees to sue over pay discrimination. how much of the bill was about

closing the wage gap? how much was about scoring political points in an election year as well? >> nothing that deals with this topic. doesn't have anything to do with politics. we are in an election year. the paycheck fairness act was straightforward. it requires transparency and wage information based on race and gender. all things women who want to know if they are being paid less than a man doing the same work, this is information you need to make sure you can go to your employer and get your fair share. when we are paying someone for the same work we are stealing their wages. they have earned the money. they need to be able to go to their boss and have are the information and say, pay me what i deserve. >> sarah jasey jay, the president called the pay gap embarrassing. >> women deserve equal pay for equal work. >> this is an economic issue

that affects all of us. more and more they are the. family's main bread winners. it's good for everyone when women are paid fairly. >> that's not a controversial statement. we can agree women should be paid fairly. what are we mising? what's not being said? what's the other side? >> i think one thing that's really important to keep in mind is there are a number of factors that contribute to the wage gap. part of it is about choices women are making. the jobs they have, hours they work, things like that. 40% of the wage gap can't be explained by these factors so there is shg else going on here. legislation like the paycheck fairness act that promotes transparent si around wanls can empower women to ensure they are paid their fair share. it's about making sure women are getting what they deserve. we are not asking for more or anything special.

we are asking to be treated the same way our male colleagues are. >> let's talk about this pew report. they have numbers showing a rise in the number of women who stay home who don't have outside work. 20% of them are single. near thely three-quarters of them live in poverty. sarah jane, why are we seeing the increase in stay at home moms? >> we have seen a couple of things happen. one is an explosion and low wage work. the other is the increasing cost of child care. if you have women who have are the option of working a minimum wage job where she has a paycheck that's not sufficient to cover the cost of child care. there is a real opportunity cost to going to work. you can't afford to hold down a job. >> we are talking about people

who can't afford to work. >> that affects the economy. this is political. the party needs to get on board supporting policies that help women and families. they are making excuses. talking about women making different choices. we need to get serious. thim pacts the economy. >> the center of oh american progress. big thanks to both of you. we continue to follow what's happening here in kansas. again a shooting at a jewish community center there. we are working to gather more information. ny minute... ...you could be a victim of fraud. most people don't even know it. fraud could mean lower credit scores, higher mortgage rates... ...and not getting the home you really want. it's a problem waiting to happen. check your credit score, check your credit report,

there at this point. one we can confirm at this point happened at the jewish community center. the other shooting happened at an assisted living facility. right now, again, this is an aerial look at the area of overland park we are talking about. our affiliate is reporting one of the shooting victims is in critical condition at a local hospital. we do not know at this point whether that victim was shot at the jewish community center or whether that victim was shot at the assisted living facility. but we can tell you that crime scene investigators are on the scene there in overland park, kansas, just south of kansas city. shooting reported at a jewish community center a short time agoment an dress gutierrez joins us now. he's on the scene with our affiliate there. andress, do you have me? >> i do, greg. >> what more can you tell us

about the two shootings there? >> police might have a possible shooter. he was taking them three blocks away from the assisted senior facility. the school here is called valley park elementary. he was taken into custody in the parking lot of the school. he was in the back seat of his cruiser. he yeld an antisemitic remark at us as he was in custody. now police are being driven away. the shots were fired at two sites. one at the jewish community center in overland park and shalom, a senior assisted living facility in leawood, kansas. this happened shortly after 1:00 central time here. at this point police might have a possible suspect in custody at this point. we are obviously going to be

briefed on it later this afternoon as to what unfolded here in kansas. >> all of this happening on the eve of passover. what do we know about the connection between the jewish community center and between the assisted living facility? >> at this point, this is all part of the investigation. they are trying to figure out if this person knew people at the facilities. they are still trying to connect the two. >> we should note here as you were reporting, kshb is reporting that one person has died in this shooting as well. we are working to confirm that. according to our affiliate there, kshb, one person is dead. how crowded was the synagogue at the time? do we know? >> this actually ended up happening in one of the theaters at the jewish community center.

we don't know the capacity, whether it was filled when the shooting occurred. that's still too early to tell. >> do we know whether there was more than the one victim? >> we do know there was one victim that has died. the other one is in critical condition. >> so two victims. one dead, one in critical. >> correct. >> at this point, do police think they have the lone gunman or there might have been more than one person involved? >> police have not indicated that at this point. >> but, again, tip based on what you are hearing on the ground, what officials are telling you, this is a situation that's under control or should people in the area continue to be worried? >> this is under control at this point. that's what police can tell me at this hour. they do have one person that was just taken away to the local jail here. >> we can also tell you according to the wires here that the victim, one of the victims

is under 16 years old. at this point we do not know whether that victim is the victim who died or is in critical condition. andres git are residen-- gutier from kshb. thank you. >> thank you, craig. >> we have additional breaking news regarding the united nations. nbc news confirmed the u.n. security council will be meeting for an emergency meeting on the crisis in ukraine. that's going to happen at 8:00 tonight here in new york city. pro russian militias, heavily armed, have taken over government buildings in several eastern ukrainian cities. we heard it at the top of the broadcast from ayman mohyeldin in ukraine. ukraine's president issued a full scale operation against pro russian separatists. russia's foreign ministry calls

that breaking news we've been following this hour from overland park, kansas, just south of kansas city. two shootings have been reported there. one at jewish community center, anotherali alitt and assisted l facility. one person is dead, another is in critical condition. crime scene investigators are on the scene there. that's going to do it for this hour. i'm craig melvin. back here next weekend 2 clock eastern eastern on saturday. right now, "disrupt." with karen finney. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen,

naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. thischance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.
