leave as soon as possible. >> this while russian troops hold new military drills in belaruse. a top russian military official speaks out on the escalating tensions. i'll talk to mikie sherrill about it. and we have new evidence on the supreme court short list. there are now three top contenders according to our sources. also our new reporting on the president's outreach to key republicans in the senate. and we have breaking pandemic news. this afternoon pfizer is postponing the request to the fda to expand its covid-19 vaccine to children under 5. we'll tell you why and speak to our medical experts about the impact and the setback for parents who are hoping to vaccinate their younger children. good afternoon on this busy "newsday" in washington. i'm garret haake in for hallie jackson. i'm joined by our nbc news team here and aren't world covering these fast moving developmentes in the ukraine crisis. we have josh letterman, courtney

kuby and erin mcclock lyn and barry mccaffrey. courtney, i understand you got breaking news at the pentagon. let's start with you. what's going on with american deployments around the world? >> we're getting word that another 3,000 u.s. soldiers attached to the 82nd airborne will be deploying to poland in the coming days. so these are part of the units, some of the units that were notified to be put on what is a heightened state of alert with military calls to deploy order. they've been on the orders for some time. now according to defense officials, they will move forward into poland in the coming days. this is a reflection of where the u.s. government sees the situation in ukraine heading. there is more and more concern that putin is closer to an invasion every single day he sends in more troops and

importantly, more capabilities that get him closer to the ability for a large scale invasion of that country. now why are these troops going? it's not because they would move into ukraine. it's not because the u.s. is looking for fight with russia specifically. but rather they would go to poland who is a nato ally to help shore up the defenses there and help provide some kind of security that if in fact putin were to decide to move somewhere beside ukraine, the u.s. there would be there to help with the article v obligation under nato. one of the reasons that there's a lot of concern about poland is russia has been he massing a number of troops and very advanced capabilities in a city that is right near the border with poland in belaruse. it's the city named breast. it really has a lot of nato officials and u.s. military officials concerned about what putin is up to in that area,

garret. >> so josh, these deployments mirror the rhetoric that we were hearing at the press briefing. we heard the starkest warnings yet in the last few minutes over at the white house. and we know that the president was in a meeting with world leaders for over an hour today. catch us up on the latest from the white house on this crisis. >> well, there is no question, garret, that there was a clear change in tone from the biden administration in those comments from jake sullivan a few minutes ago. the most dire assessment that we heard so far about how quickly this could happen and exactly what it could entail. jake sullivan making it clearer than any official before him has that the u.s. now believes that this could start before the olympics is over. meaning some time in the next nine days. sullivan also saying that the americans need to get out of the country immediately but putting the finest point that we've seen on that saying at the latest

they need to be out of the country would be the next 24 to 48 hours. and while sullivan pushed back on some reporting throughout from other outlets suggesting that president putin has made a decision in the u.s. is aware that he's made a decision about whether to invade, he said among the possibilities that u.s. military and intelligence officials are now aware of is the possibility of a rapid russian assault on the ukrainian capital of kyiv. it's a fairly remarkable to hear the national security adviser say out in the open. take a listen to what sullivan had to say just a few minutes ago about the consequences russia will face if it does invade. >> if russia proceeds, it's long term power will be diminished, not enhance by an invasion. it will have to make more

concessions to china. it will face massive pressure on its economy and export controls that will erode its defense industrial base. it will face a wave of condemnation from around the world. >> we're seeing this flurry of last minute diplomacy. a meeting today with the transatlantic community, members from the eu and critical countries in the west. and to also an evening session with the national security team yesterday we know other foreign leaders are also engaged in a hole lot of shutting diplomacy between moscow and kyiv in the last few days as they try to preserve any possibility for averting a military conflict, garret. >> erin, another thing to come out of the briefing is a clear warning to americans still in ukraine to get out now. the cavalry is not coming to get americans out.

you've been talking to some americans in the country. what are they saying? what are they doing? what are they seeing on the ground there? >> there's about 7500 americans rejed with the embassy here in kyiv and an unknown number in country. they believe some americans heeded their dire warnings and have left ukraine. but some remain. i was speaking to retiree dave aiken, he lived here for three years. he said this is home and he's not leaving his friends. take a listen. >> i'm not going anywhere. i don't know what's going to happen. but i'm not running. i have too many friends here. this is my home. and i like it here. and i just -- you know, he's been wrong on other stuff. you don't this this is going to be in afghanistan or anything. i just can't see really why the russian was want to come and do

this and destroy this place. i think it's counterproductive to them and i think the ukrainian people will fight them very strongly. i'm trying find ways to help that. >> now we have yet to hear from ukrainian government officials about these latest warnings from the white house. but ukrainian government officials have long been downplaying this threat. they've been seeing they do not believe that russia is going to invade this country. i was speaking to former ukrainian defense minister yesterday. he believes that ukrainian officials have been downplaying the situation to avoid panic. panic is seen as a key enemy here. and speaking to ukrainians in kyiv, you don't get a sense of panic, there are runs on a supermarket. no one is evacuating. there are not long lines at gas stations, things you would see if it people were panicking due to this threat on ukraine's borders. and the ukrainian defense minister telling me that that is

a good thing. you want everyone in this situation to remain calm. and that seems to be the game plan of the ukrainian government at least for now. again, we have yet to hear any official reaction from this latest warning from d.c. from them. garret? >> general mccaffrey, i want to bring new here and get your reaction to the news with he broke right here at the top of the hour. this decision to send these 3,000 soldiers from the 82nd airborne into poland. what does that tell you about what the u.s. believes is imminent here? is that a move that could have a diplomatic effect, a warning to putin. or does the u.s. say this is coming and we want our allies to know we have their backs? >> i think it's another one of the series of deterrent measures that biden administration thankfully is carrying out. 3,000 troops in the 82nd are not enough to make any difference in the military equation. but they are a clear political statement of our commitment to article v under nato.

and poland is a front line state with a very sophisticated military that will fight. so i think you're seeing in the baltic states and romania and poland and other places our attempt to shore up the alliance. i'm amazed that jake sullivan very capable, experienced public official rolling out almost near real time u.s. intelligence. it's a dreadful situation. i'm hopeful that this is part of a russian deception plan. that they have told their military you are going in. so we're hearing all this tactical chatter. but that at some point he gets an off ramp. it looks very dire. this will be millions of ukrainians fleeing the russian assault. never mind potentially the 30,000 americans that may or may not still be there. >> general, how much do you

think that the time that's been bought by diplomacy, the aid coming from u.s. and allies will make a difference on the ground if and when an invasion begins? >> well, we clearly most nato nations minus germany have given significant support to the ukrainian military. it's not much of a force. you can't build them rapidly. $200 million of munitions is not much. i don't think ukrainian military can stand up to a determined, all out russian attack from three directions which looks like they're putting together. however, i also think it will be a disaster for putin. i cannot imagine how his advisors would tell him militarily this is a good thing to do. but he's a russian. he news about u kraun as being

part of mother russia. so we may well be watching the start of a real terrible experience for the ukrainians. >> we heard jake sullivan almost advising putin of in real time of all the reasons no to the do. this we're going to move on here now. thank you all. i want to bring in mikie sherrell. she was part of a bipartisan congressional delegation that met with officials in ukraine just a couple weeks ago. congresswoman, i want to get your assessment of the preparation as they were happening on the ukrainian side when you were there. are you satisfied that they are as ready as they can be? we've been reporting for weeks about the stay calm mentality in this kyiv and around that country. that if things are as imminent as american intelligence appear to believe they are, that ukraine is ready for what is coming? >> sure. thank you for having me.

as you know, i recently went to ukraine. we started that trip in brussels to make sure that we were acting in concert with our nato allies with eu. that puts us on our strongest footing as the united states of america and protection of freedom and democracy. and then we went to ukraine. and what we heard there was that they -- the ukrainian government, we spoke to the minister of defense, the foreign affairs minister and president zelensky felt the united states supported them. that the nato partners had supported them. with getting them the weaponry they needed. part of the reason i went there is to understand the disconnect with the intelligence that we were seeing with over 100,000 troops from russia surrounding ukraine in russia and belaruse. and it is downplaying of the threat by the ukrainian government and we heard several things when we were there. we heard that in part the ukrainians felt they had been at

war with russia since 2014. that this was not new, an invasion by russia and, yet, this was going to be different. they weren't simply going to, as russia taking over territory, but rather they were ready to fight and the ukrainian president, president zelensky said very clearly we are ready to fight. we don't need u.s. troops on the ground. we're going to fight this battle. >> did you get a sense then or now, the u.s. is doing everything we say we're doing everything we can on the diplomatic front to avert this war. we have been sending in materials, us and allies. what do you believe? what do the ukrainians believe should be the role if the full scale invasion does start for the u.s.? >> so we worked incredibly hard. the i think something that has been a real miscalculation on putin's part is how this would bring the united states together with our nato allies and eu and

act in concert. i think we saw the transatlantic relationship frayed under the last president. this has actually, if anything, strengthened it tremendously. and i think it's been that unity of purpose that has been one of our best deterring factors. unfortunately, we still see russia moving forward. of it's a huge mistake as general mccaffrey said. i think putin is getting poor advice on that. however, he seems to be unable to withdraw from this position. and i really do think going forward this is going to be very problematic. certainly if russia goes into ukraine, there will be a very quick, we think, takeover, territory there like kyiv. but i do think as you heard from that gentleman that american who decided to stay on the ground, he's heard from all of the people that he knows. i certainly heard that when i was on the ground, that the ukrainian people are going to fight. the they are not going to see

seize their freedom easily. >> we heard the afghan army was going to fight harder against the taliban, too. it's an interesting place to be in when you're looking down at an imminent invasion, war, to wonder what the fight will look like here. do you agree with the general's assessment about the 3,000 troops going into poland, this is a political, diplomatic move, a move to show that strength and resolve towards our nato allies more than it is to say anything towards russia about potential consequences of taking this action? >> so we have articles v responsibilities, meaning, we are in a treaty with poland as one of our nato allies. an attack on one is an attack on all and we'll react to that. that is what kept peace in europe since world war ii. the first time we saw an

incursion is when ukraine ib vaded russia after hundreds of years of war which the united states were drawn into. st that is the power of our alliances. and part of the difficulty that we have had in the situation and we're all working -- we would all love to find an off ramp for putin to make this horrible mistake that he is thinking about. but the difficulty we're having is we're looking at this from two very different angles. russia wants to have a spear of influence. they want to have control over the countries in that area of the world. and we believe very strongly that a sovereign state can determine their own form of government. what we're looking at here from crimea is an area where all social media is monitored. any discussion, disagreement with the government can result you being put in jail. this is critically different from how ukrainians are living.

they know what's at stake. >> all right. congresswoman, we have to leave it. there i suspect we'll have more cause to talk about this topic soon. thank you. >> thank you. and coming up, more breaking news after the break. why pfizer is now delaying its application to expand its vaccine to children under 5. our medical experts are standing by. and also breaking today, president biden's supreme court short list even shorter now down to just three. who we're hearing the top contenders are right now and when the interview process might get started. when the interview process might get started. that liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need, and we gotta do it fast.

huge breaking news from pfizer. they're delaying the applicants to the fda to provide the vaccine under kids 5 years old. it's a big setback for parents waiting to vaccinate air infandz and toddlers. pfizer is saying it's waiting on more data on the effectiveness

of a three dose vaccine regime after previously saying that two dose regime didn't mount a strong enough immune response. right up until this announcement, it seemed the fda was preparing to authorize the vaccines. in fact, nbc news reports that two people familiar with the f.d.a.'s plans said they had already been aa lot of pushback on the ngs from outside experience that had concerns that pfizer's data wasn't sufficient. the experts felt one of the people said that their concerns were falling on deaf ears within the agency. with me now is dr. natalie azar, rheumatologist and msnbc medical contributor and a board certified infectious disease physician and msnbc medical contributor herself. doctor, break down what today's developments mean for parents who have been waiting for the shots. >> yeah. garret, it means that they're going to wait a little longer. the fda in defense of its actions in terms of even asking

pfizer to submit their two dose data to them for authorization, they said in part this afternoon that the fda felt it was their responsibility as a public health agency to act with urgency and have all available options including they provide us with initial data on two doses from the on going study, their goal was to understand if two dose was provide sufficient protection. remember, we had press release information already in december from pfizer that said, you know, there two dose regimen in this age-group did not trigger a comparable immune response as what was seen in 16 to 25-year-olds. typically what happens in these cases with the trials is they use that immune response as a surrogate marker in something called immunobridging to predict in that age-group that dose would actually illicit an adequate response. they got a lot more data now because of the omicron surge and

in reviewing that data, the fda made a determination that they would rather see true efficacy numbers an effectiveness. they may actually not just need to rely on this but look at actual cases to determine whether or not they want to move forward with an authorization or approve this request for expansion of their data. >> so is it as simple they know two doses are not cutting it and they need to make sure that they can test that three dose dozen? >> they have a lot of pushback for even approval two doses of a vaccine that in and of themselves was not adequate in terms of -- or the prediction was that it wouldn't be add qut adequate to protect the children and what if we get the third dose data and that is not protective? then we've gone ahead and vaccinated our kids without really, like there is no off ramp then for vaccinations. so this is really the right way

to do it. make no mistake this is the right way to do it. it's important to have all of the data so when parents ultimately, you know, sign their kids up for vaccination, they understand exactly what they're getting and why they're doing it. >> and all that know it works. doctor, a big picture. kids are the last big unvaccinated segment of the population. what does it mean to have kind of more of a delay to be able to get the younger kids vaccinated in terms of the overall fight against the pandemic? >>. [ no audio ] >> we have a mute problem there, doc. it's all right. it's our favorite pandemic side infect, the accidental mute. i'll give you a second there. >> my apologies. will yeah. so doctor did a great job of talking through why this makes sense. i actually agree with that. i think starting to -- there's a reason. we're trying to address the public health crisis. and getting the two doses

potentially made sense from a public health perspective. but from a scientific integrity and ensuring there is vaccine hesitancy and people have the data, we're talking about a delay of a few weeks. in many places the cases are going down. and the disappointment? absolute will you. a potential setback for a few weeks? yes. this is what we can do in the meantime to keep our kids safe is as the data comes out, continue to improve vaccination rates in older kids. we're still lagging behind. make sure all the adults around them are vaccinated. make sure we can do all we can to reduce the continued transmission and community that already seeing that drop. and in the long term, i actually agree with the decision. i you this that this clearly to me shows that pfizer may have data to show much greater clinical efficacy of the three dose which has been true by the way of all the other age groups so far because of all the problems and immunity properties that we've seen with the other

variants. >> as someone that deals with political messaging, i look at this and feel the messaging around this shots for kids has been so confusing. does the fda, the cdc, the white house, does somebody need to come back out here and regain control of the narrative around what they're trying to do to make sure these shots are safe? or you are going to have a situation where when they do approve however many doses it is for kids, people are just going to be so confused they don't trust the science on this anymore? >> i think this is amove towards -- yeah. the we should clarify that. >> go for it. >> yes. i actually think this is the right move to gain continued public trust. and i do think that it would be good for all of us to continue to stress two things. biggest thing i hope doesn't come out of this announcement is new confusion about why this delay was or this continued review for us goes and was maintained. absolutely not related to any safety signals.

and so we need to stress that even as we talk about the fact that we're waiting for additional data to release. this the second is i do think that we need to have a lot more conversations not at the political, you know, front facing national sort of course but i think this is a continued conversation that parents need to have pediatricians and physicians and clinicians with their kids. because that's where we really overcome some of the vaccine hesitancy and dispel misinformation out there. >> all right. doctors, thank you both for your expertise on this. and coming up, which republican senators president biden has already been reaching out to talk about his yet to be named supreme court pick. and later, we're live in ontario. now under a state of emergency. the canadian prime minister is out with a new message to protesters just in the last hour. protesters just in the last ur ment with vitamin c and b

we know the names on president biden's short list. three sources familiar with the process tell nbc news that top three contenders are ka ketanji

brown jackson and michelle childs. now for president biden in that exclusive interview with nbc's lester holt talked about his ideal nominee. >> i'm not looking into making illogical choice here. i'm looking to replace someone with joj brie wert same cast that judge breyer had, with an open mind, who understands the constitution and interprets it in a way that is in the mainstream way of the constitution. >> i want to bring in our justice correspondent pete williams, our senior national reporter and eugene daniels, white house reporter for "politico." we've been hearing the three names for weeks now. now it seems the candidates will be the president's prime focus

as he looks into the writings and background this is weekend with the comment in mind of what he is looking for. what he is going to find when he looks into the three wum? >> yeah. hang on to your hat. it's the same three names we've been talking about for last two weeks. two federal judges and one judge from the california state supreme court. and we're now at the stage where all the outside interests are putting pressure on the president and people from south carolina are pushing for j. michelle childs. and republicans are also pushing for her saying her unique experience as someone that once worked as a public defender would work to her benefit. she didn't go to the usual ivy league schools. and then, of course, all the people are pushing for other judges too. i think what is very interesting yesterday is that in the interview with lester president biden was looking at about four

nominees. the supreme court has about nine justices. i'm not sure what to make about four comment. i think what that meant is and from all we've been told is, yes, there are these three leading contenders and, you know, the possibility that he'll maybe talk to somebody else, some of the groups are also pushing so that he can say he did look at the field. but, you know, the tendency has been to -- with the exception of elena kagan who was never a judge -- the tendency has been to stick with people who have been judges because they have a definite record that allows more thorough vetting of their views. >> and we also have new reporting on the president's republican outreach here. we know he very much wants to get republican votes or whom ever he decides to nominate. pete mentioned the south carolina republican who's have been pushing for judge childs. where else might the president be fishing for republican votes.

>> we do have some names, garret. we see a report on three republican senators that had personal conversations with president biden just over the last week on the issue of the supreme court. that is susan collins, lisa murkowski, mitt romney. three other names that we can report the white house has reached out to in the hope of having a conversation, rob portman, lindsey gram and john cornyn. graham has a higher than usual roerd compared to the rest of the caucus of voting for president biden's 46 confirmed judges. democrats do not need a single republican vote to confirm this new justice as long as all 50 of them are here, present and voting. had the senator from new mexico will be back. he is recovering from a stroke. they want this to be a bup vote. they think that will be good for

congress. they think that will speak well of the courts as well. >> john cornyn is the most interesting name on that graphic you just showed. the he is critical of the president's handling of this. he is someone that might want to be the republican leader some day down the line. but someone who has worked with the white house on other bipartisan issues. i'm interested to see how that develops. eugene, set us up a little bit on the time line here. we know the president wants to make an announcement of this choice by the end of the month before the state of the union. then this he have to figure out how to move fast enough to get this done slow enough to get it done in the time line when senator senator is back. how do they view the goldilocks zone on timing moving forward? >> they are looking at, like you said, getting a nominee out front by the end of this month. and they want to move as quickly as they can but also don't want to be seen as kind of ramming it through. depending on which of the three women that they choose, right, whether or not how many republican votes we no he they

get, they choose j. michelle childs, she has a guaranteed boat from both senators in south carolina. right? ketanji brown jackson, she was just last year on the d.c. district court with a vote of 53. so there is some space that they know they want to make sure they get the republican votes. and as the president is looking to make the decision, something that people should keep in mind especially with judge michelle childs is the left say little split on her. this is someone who has worried progressors with her past work as a lawyer on behalf of corporations. they feel she may be a little too moderate. but president biden sprinkled off the crumbs saying he wants someone in the vain of breyer. she seems to match that.

ketanji brown jackson a flamethrower. something they've been really interested in is watching how they're going through pains to make sure they're not seen as pitting these wum against each other. pitting the black women against each other. that is something you usually don't see. you see them kind of neatively attack the other person. that doesn't seem to be happening as publicly. >> they want to avoid look like a reality tv show to select the nominee. you have some good reporting on another topic here. while nobody was looking, there is an outbreak of bipartisanship on capitol hill after bbb, after voting rights had failed, we started to see this pickup in things moving in a bipartisan way. and after you reported it, you got the nicest twitter mention i've seen from a politician in a long time. mine are never this nice. the president of the united states retweeting you saying i ran for president because i believe government can still deliver for the people. there is so much more to do. democrats and republicans are

proving we can still come together to deliver important progress for the american people. what's going on here? is the senate in particular going to start cranking out bipartisan legislation in the first quarter of this year? >> it's been an unexpected and quite sudden outbreak of bipartisanship that swept through capitol hill just in the last few days. the list of issues is quite remarkable here. it starts with a recent agreement made on the violence against women act, 1994 law initially authored you about a senator named joe biden. there is postal service reform to improve the finances of the post office and improve mail delivery. no arbitration, know forced arbitration for assault victims, it is headed to pride pred

the president's desk. and bipartisan 5:00 tuft in the senate when it comes to changing election laws prevent future candidates from executing a coup as was attempted in 2020. what is behind this republicans say the fact that democrats have given up on the dreams of nuking the filibuster and passing legislation that made senators believe that this is possible. and democrats we talk to say, look, they came here to govern. they believe in governing. they believe in compromise. yes, they have bigger ambition. they believe voters don't care if achievementes are partisan or bipartisan. but they will take victories where they k looking ahead to the mid terms, they need everyone they can get, garret. >> yeah, it will be very interesting to see how many planes they can land before the midterm season takes over everything here in washington. thank you both for coming on this friday afternoon. and up next, the latest on

law and while getting legal information they might have acquired information about americans that speak to nonu.s. americans and the letter that widen and heinrich sent is heavily redacted. joining us is nbc news national security correspondent ken dilanian. it started with this letter saying that the full extent of the cia's collection withheld from the senate select committee until the report was released last month. help us understand what if anything we know about what's in this redacted information and what the cia might be collecting about whom. >> first of all, sources tell me that they were briefed on the information. the cia is also saying that and sources tell me that other

democrats and republicans don't see a scandal here. to answer the question, we don't know what the collection entails but officials said it has to do with the cia searching foreign data with information on americans and only supposed to look at american data if relevant to foreign intelligence. that's what they say they're doing. >> but we can't look at the da the and can't look at the letter. this is the problem. you deal with it every day reporting on an agency where so much is classified. how do we find out if they're telling the truth here? >> we can push for transparency. they said bottom line we're not spying on americans. spying depends on big data. american and foreign data are intermingled and the cia has

latitude to search information about americans if the goal is foreign spying. some think that's a huge invasion of privacy. officials say that facebook know more than the cia ever will. i think the most important might be if there' safeguards in place to keep them from abusing the access and the report that the senators made public suggest more guardrails saying that analysts should report and disclose. they're pressing the biden administration to make more information public so we can judge for ourselves whether the cia is overstepping. >> i don't think we've heard the last of this. thank you for watching.
