hitting a rail station killing 39 and injuring dozens more. we'll go live to ukraine for the latest development. we'll bring you a rare look inside russia and how the war being perceived by people there. here in the u.s., celebrations at the white house following the historic confirmation of judge ketanji brown jackson and senator alex padilla will join us to talk about the future of the court. half a million people still without electricity in puerto rico, more than 24 hours since hurricane maria devastated the island. ♪♪ happening right now in ukraine, more families and more friends and loved ones mourning after another deadly attack on civilians in ukraine. i want to warn you that what you are about to see is graphic and very disturbing.

ukrainian officials say two russian rockets hit a railway station in eastern ukraine as thousands of people trying to escape what expected to be a major new russian offense in the region. the russian defense ministry is denying any russian involvement and saying the rockets used in the attack were ukrainian. at least 39 people were killed, nearly 90 more injured. nbc news yet to verify the strikes or number of casualties. hours of that attack, ukraine's president spoke to finland, he talked about that railway attack and asked for a moment of silence. >> this is an ordinary town. this is how russia came to protect the donbas. how they view the protection of the russians speaking population, this is the 44th day

of our reality, after eight years of war in eastern ukraine, i would like all of us to commemorate the moment of silence of all killed by the russian missiles and russian bombs and arms. thank you. >> also today prosecutor general says at least 26 bodies were found in the kyiv suburbs. officials there say they have no idea how many people may be buried under the rubble. joining us to start off our coverage is our correspondent molly hunter in bucha in ukraine, now president of the chicago counsel on global affairs and retired attorney chris costa. so ambassador, let's begin with you. what this latest attack on this

terminal seems like a clear civilian target. >> it was and it shows you what the russians are about. they are no longer just trying to achieve a military objective with military means that focuses on combatant, they are striking terror and trying to strike ter terror on the heart of the people. that's so remarkable and deeply shocking. these are the very russians-speaking people in the region that vladimir putin said been oppressed and i put that in quotation marks by the ukrainian government and he just strikes at these civilians who are trying to flee an advance from russian forces in order to try to survive. it is really unfathomable and it shows you the degree to which

putin and the russian military frankly lost any sense of proportionality. they are desperate. >> we just lost signal with molly hunter. we are hoping to get her backup. >> i want to talk about a piece in foreign affairs magazine, looking at putin under estimating the western response to ukraine. what is his biggest miscalculation and has he indeed miscalculate? >> he under estimated the tennacity of the ukrainian

people. he also calculated the west, nato, the european union and the europeans themselves and the united states would react with mild sanctions and as indeed the west reacted the past event in 2008 in georgia or in 2014 against ukraine, and he didn't calculate the degree to which the west would not only unite but respond with extraordinary force, economically as minister lavrov had said he did not expect but also militarily the kind of support provided to ukrainians. one estimate there have been 90 antiarmor and tanks sent into ukraine for every one tank and

armor vehicle. that's an extraordinary amount of caabilities and that's leaving him to retreat. he's focusing on the area that he tried to capture in 2014 and has just not expected this kind of response. >> colonel, when we are seeing this response by the russians seemed to be among other things to partially devastate bucha. mariupol is just been devastated and now you know you attack and we saw they attacked the theater and hospitals and the theater that had children written outside in russian in the parking lot. they hit that as well. colonel, what is the tactic that russia is following? it seems as though one of the destructions of the ukrainian people. >> right, it is not military

campaigning. looks a lot like punitive expedition. it is deeply troubling. it is not operational military art. it is punitive, it is deliberately targeting civilians which is a violation of international law. it is in essence of war crime and much of that is reported and people have to be held accountable. so it is more punitive by nature and at the same time it will continue to wear down the ukrainian population at the same time the ukrainians have demonstrated significant resolve and the west is galvanized as the ambassador has made reference to or wrote about in his excellent article i read about it. in short, this is going to continue to be a long campaign and a lot of civilian casualties. the west needs to continue to provide the arms ukrainians need. >> the ambassador yesterday,

senaor menendez talking about the united states and nato need to support the people of ukraine for as long as it takes. we have seen that this could go on for months or maybe even years. is ambassador, the united states, is nato prepare to support the ukrainian people with weapons, with assistance and all kinds of things going forward for the near future? >> i think so. i think we have already seen a continuing support that's being provided to the ukrainians. the czech has sent tanks and the

kind of capabilities sent into ukraine and every atrocity depicted on our screen and the latest this morning of the terrible bombings, west will galvanize to do more. we have more extreme sanctions being put in place as a result of the atrocity we saw in the week of bucha. we'll continue to see pressure to deliver more and more capable weapons for ukrainians not only to defend themselves but frankly to push russian forces further out and ultimately out of the territory of ukraine. that now seems is something that's at least conceivable, something that no one would thought possible even four or five weeks ago. we see major advances because in part because weapons continue to flow into ukraine from nato and other country. >> thank you, we have molly hunter who's with us on the

phone line from bucha. molly, thank you for being with us. first, what can you tell us about this latest attack on that train station? >> jose, hi, sorry for the connection, thanks so much for letting us join. that's the hub, the transit point for women and children and civilians fleeing the eastern area of the country trying to get out to the west to the safety of ukraine and on ward to the west. that's a train station that thousands of civilians were sheltered in overnight because the governor of the area warned russia is planning an attack in the east and warned civilians to get out. russia would have known there were thousands of civilians at that train station when they attacked. 50 people we have learned including five children, 98 people were taken to the hospital and according to officials there, we expect those numbers to possibly rise.

>> molly, i know you have been going throughout the area there and you are based in kyiv right now but you have been in bucha. describe to me what you have seen. what are the people there telling you about what they live for? >> yeah, jose, we have been in bucha all day of course. bucha have been in the headlines so much. what we saw today at the back of the church in the center of this city, in the shadow of the church, this was announced by officials several days ago. we saw pictures of it. >> i think we just lost her. molly, we are losing our connection with you but -- it is the reality of what ukraine is living through. i want to thank molly hunter in bucha, colonel costa and

ambassador, thank you for being with us this morning. joining us now is yurash, the youngest member of ukraine's parliament and active soldier, he's joining us now from kyiv, thank you so much for being with us this morning. what's your reaction to what happened in that train station? >> the reality of the train station, they are trying to prevent those people to leave the battlefield of the east and causing devastation especially in mariupol that you all know about. they're trying to prevent these people and showing the world they'll not let us save as many civilians as possible. mariupol, the corridor of mariupol it is been shelled. this is a continuation of russia's policy of killing all

those that did not deserve to die. >> mariupol is not a small town. many of hundreds of thousands of people that are there that have not been able to evacuate. >> exactly. the russians have a policy of saying they can evacuate to russia but in russia they go through camps and some of them get killed there. they have been destroyed and killed in russia. mariupol is impossible to describe, what we have is a city that does not have any journalist ins in the city and t town has turned into shred. we'll be fighting. >> we were just speaking with molly hunter and her phone line went out and our satellite went out. that's you know very near kyiv.

you have actually taken up arms to defend your country? . >> yes. >> how has life changed for you and so many of the people in ukraine? >> the reality is when you are in kyiv in the first day, everybody have to get the skills to become a soldier. the reality of russians trying to get in top kyiv was poignant the first few days. the reality is that we pushed the russians out but the idea of them coming back and trying to take over the town was not a possibility. the fact that everybody in kyiv becoming a soldier and myself and my assistant of who i work with, in bucha territory defense and i am join with the men and i know them quite well.

i could not help but join and partake in the battle itself which is as useful as being a parliament. >> what does ukraine need? we had so many situations saying that the west needs to help with a system to air missiles but we need tanks and we need -- what does ukraine need now? >> the reality is humanitarian. refugees within the country are leaving the country. they are in desperate need of everything you can imagine. from everyday things to a host things of them in your country. military need, we are fighting the biggest army in the world.

we need everything. russia being removed, the reality russia violated every rule of war. everything is needed to try to get it out in those forums. >> thank you very much for being with us, very much appreciate your time. >> thank you very much. a big day at the white house, we'll hear from president biden and judge ketanji brown jackson, one day an her confirmation. >> plus, we'll talk to an american just back from ukraine who has been documenting the war there for weeks. you are watching "jose diaz-balart reports." rts. they'r, with bank of america.

the white house will hold an event celebrating the confirmation of judge ketanji brown jackson to the supreme court. she received a vote of every democrat and three republicans. the count came in erupted in a standing ovation. the white house released this video of judge jackson and president biden watching as she became the first black woman confirmed to serve on the supreme court. after the vote, senaor warnock

posted this picture. he writes "she's the first supreme court justice that looks like you and hair like yours." joining us now is kelly o'donell and our senior editor at msnbc law and politics analyst. kelly, what's going to happen today at the white house? >> there are not a lot of days about celebration at the white house but this is one of those. confirmation process had been concluded and no more trying to twist arms, that had been done. the white house tauted votes for judge ketanji brown jackson with three republicans to secure her vote. there will be a large group of invited guests who'll celebrate

this confirmation and her place as the first african-american woman to join the supreme court, after more than 230 years of the court's existence. this is a victory for the country. it is a victory personally for the judge and her family and certainly for the president. i say judge because she's not yet a justice, she will be the next justice. this is a case where there is a vacancy made by a resignation and not a death in office. judge justice briar will continue until the end of the term and she will take her place on the court with the new term. she's recuing herself from the current cases on which the circuit she serves and she will become a member on the court in full and he'll finish out on the cases he's been hearing. this will be a day of significance and to celebrate that achievement. what it means for the country to have a court reflects what the

nation looks like and how this has been a change more than 50 years after the first african-american joining the court. . >> i want to play for you of my colleague, what they had to say. >> as a black woman, watching her i felt her pain and i think many people, many people reached out to me to express the same thing to see what she went through to see she's strong and she persevered. it speaks not only to black women but women everywhere. anyone felt out of place and not welcomed inside an arena or they are the minority. >> i know you know the judge ourself. what does this mean, how historic is this? >> it is extraordinary. it almost every measure, it is unbelievable that it is taken this long and it is

extraordinary in some sense that this turned into a fight. this by normal rules of politics should have been an easy lift. it does not transfer the balance of hours on the court. it is still a 6-3 super majority. it could have been easy to do this in a sort of civil weight in light of judge jackson's insane qualifications. the fact it turned into this all out bloody-knuckle nudging war is sad. it should not take a way the fact that she's by every measure and well qualified and she will be a phenomenal jurist, history will remember her exactly the right person for this and who really works to bring sides together and to hear from opposite views and to be a

peacemaker in times of water. >> our colleague and friend and university. thank you for being with us this morning and continuing our conversation california senator is alex padilla, i want to get your opinion on this historic event? >> it is a great day. i can't wait to see the impact. i am going to call her justice jackson now. . you and i spoke earlier in the process we celebrated this nature of her nomination and of course we have been hearing the confirmation hearing themselves should have been more respectful. should have been a better demeanor but the more that some of the republicans tried to

attack her to direct her and undermine her credentials, the better she looked in the process and made a better impression to the american people that she will serve on the supreme court and serve extremely well and in the process it restores some of the faiths and the institutions that had been challenged and be that ray of hope for future generations of little girls and boys that can see themselves in justice jackson. >> i keep on thinking that little boy that grew up and when we were told oh so many times, don't go there, don't have those dreams, don't think that you can go into places where -- well, people like you are not normally act. just what you are thinking, you know? >> i am so glad you brought that up. for those who watched the hearing closely on that final day of voting, i was one of the

last members to ask question and saved my last question and shared publicly of what i share a lot of friends over the years privately with one of my high school teachers discouraged me to mit because he didn't want me to be disappointed to get in. who does that? we are supposed to inspire the next generations. justice jackson had a similar experience. her experience of being a freshman at harvard and that feeling of not belonging, i can relate to that. i went through those emotions but her advice to young people and future generations of when you come up against those challenges and obstacles to persevere. it is that perseverance that we'll succeed. every young person has that potential and when we all do that, we help our nation being

that perfect union and the personal privilege, jose, it was extra meaningful to me when i cast that vote with my wife, angela and my son alex in the gallery watching. it is a little black girl and black boy and girls and boys of color throughout the country that now see this as normal for that young latino kid to be casting a vote and asking questions of supreme court nominee, yes, the first african-american woman bringing her credentials and experience to deliberations of highest court in the land. >> senator, before i let you go to talk about title 42, the president announced it would be finished by the end of may, some of your republicans and democratic colleagues introduced a bill that would block title 42, and dealing of the potential influx of migrants. what do you make of this?

>> when we lift title 42, we need to make sure it is done orderly and safely and humane basis and right now is the time for senators including myself, i am a member of the homeland security committee as well to be asking those questions including homeland security secretary. what is the plan and it is important to remember this. people who come to the united states is for a number of reason. yes, it is legal to come to the united states seeking asylum for a number of business. title 42 was never an immigration policy, it was a public health policy put in place at the beginning of covid. if covid numbers are way down and vaccines are out and masks are coming off, title 42 is no longer there. it is right to end title 42 and have a safe, orderly and humane

process restored because it was certainly decimated by the prior administration. >> exactly. it is a right to seek asylum. >> always a pleasure to see you, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. up next we'll go to moscow and get a look why vladimir putin's popularity in moscow is skyrocketing. you are watching "jose diaz-balart reports." s.

god and my parents. joining us now, terrell, he spent the first month of the war on the ground and just returned. i thank you so much for being with us. so let's start with your reaction at what happened today at this train station. how do you define, how do you even deal with something like that? >> the thing is, it's just pure brutality and this is consistent with the way the russian military has operated. particularly with ukraine. they thought they were going to be greeted as liberators, they thought they were going to be joined as people, hey, we're going to be one big russia world and didn't turn out to be the case. if they can't beat them on the battlefield they're taking out their frustration and anger out

on civilians who can't fight back. >> last time i spoke to you, you were in ukraine about a month ago. tell me with your experience there. >> one thing i have to say is i think for a lot of journalists who were there, if it were not for the ukrainian military, the working environment would be vastly different. a lot of people thought they would be going to see a russian occupation, which turned out not to be the case. i saw ukrainian, average citizens united against the invasion. i was part of a group of folks, people who never shot a gun but would be willing to shoot at russian soldiers. i saw the unfortunate aftermath of a refugee crisis, people rushing to the border, leaving their families behind. a lot of times the husbands left behind because they're expected to stay there and fight. i cover for msnbc the aftermath of russian bombings.

so up see all the unfortunate aspects of war. but you saw the ukrainians fighting back in ways people in the west didn't expect. >> what do you learn about humanity? >> you learn the best and the worst of it. we spoke earlier and you were telling me you're a war correspondent yourself. just getting used to the unnatural element of being in a war environment and doing this work is something you're either built to do or you aren't. it's something that you learn literally on the job and then you also learn about the haves and the have notes, who has the resources to kind of navigate themselves through the situation and who doesn't. so all the inequities that persisted prior to the invasion were exacerbated as a result of it. and then you also, you know, i think the main thing that i saw in myself as a journalist is that, you know, when you see these tragedies, you make a

decision, how are you going to help? i decided to go beyond the traditional framework of who the journalist is and using the vast network i acquired on social media, which is a result of being independent, which allows me the freedom to do both. >> what do you think ukraine needs more than anything is this. >> it needs major military aid. here's the thing about ukraine that people don't understand. ukrainians have legitimately argued this is a war not just about ukraine. it's about the ukrainian -- it's about the security of europe. and it's about the security of the west and even though we, you know, people have heard these things before, i think we still have to give that serious consideration. he actually invaded in 2014. people didn't think he would do that again. now people think he wouldn't do

that to nato. but we have to have conversations. one, russia is not the second most powerful military in the world and ukrainians proved that. and joe biden was correct that having somebody in putin in office is not good, it calls for us to reconsider his position in the world power. >> thank you so much for being with us. i really appreciate you being here with us. that wraps up the hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart. i'll see you tomorrow night. you can always reach me on twitter and instagram. thank you for the privilege of your time. peter alexander picks up with more news after this quick break. s up with more news after this quick break. like the shot they take. the memories they create. or the spin they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, you can achieve clearer skin. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla can cause serious allergic reactions.
