for being with us. that wraps up the hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart. you can reach me on twitter. be sure to follow the show online. thank you for the privilege of your time. the great hallie jackson picks up with more news right now. we're coming on the air this morning watching the white house. president biden set to meet virtually with the prime minister of indian right about now. why does this matter? india is the world's biggest democracy and they've been pretty neutral in a war that president biden has framed as a fight for democracy. we're live with more from this meeting as we get it. right now in ukraine there's more and more of a focus of what's happening in the eastern part of the country. a top eu official warning that troops are getting ready to attack the donbas region. president zelenskyy warns russia

has deployed tens of thousands of troops to, in his word, prepare new attacks. and tens of thousands of people have probably been killed in the port cities that has been seized for weeks. and we've seen what's happened in bucha. now a new report from british defense officials about an area called borzova and a reported mass grave. and for families that have lost loved one, overwhelmness numbness. >> translator: i have no more tears now. >> how many more tears can these people be expected to give? i'm hallie jackson. molly hunter is on the ground in

ukraine's capital. i'd like to bring in retired lieutenant general twitty and now a nonresident senior council. you have more and more ukrainians trying to get west, away from where russian troops in the east are getting ready for a huge assault. tell us more about what you're learning and where things stand now. >> reporter: yeah, hallie, getting out of the east, getting to the center or the country or getting west is the goal. about that new death toll and the new atrocities we're seeing in some towns, until we get eyes on these towns, we will not know what's there. there are still more atrocities to be uncovered in a lot of

these towns that russians have occupied. while it's an estimate tens of thousands have died in mariupol, i think the true death toll in a lot of these places we won't know for some time. the shift, the focus is turning towards the east. over the weekend we got saw the light photos of an eight-mile long convoy of military vehicles between kramatorsk and kharkiv. kramatorsk is where the train attack happened on friday, where people were trying to flee the east and get west that is where everyone's eyes are right now, hallie. >> what's it been like for you? do you feel like there is a sense of the mood shifting on the ground? >> there is. what's actually really interesting here in kyiv, it's a very ditch experience for civilians who are here in kyiv

versus kramatorsk. what we have seen in the last day is actually this city is preparing and fortifying on the outskirts again. there aren't that many people around right now. people are taking morning walks, going to get coffee. the outskirts of the city are adding checkpoints. there are more fortifications. we were in irpin today, it's a commuter town, where that bridge, we saw so many pictures of people trying to evacuating. they have created a and we talked to a young man, sergei, take a listen to what he said. >> when i was in line here, i saw a few people from my town. from my district. >> reporter: what do you say after not seeing people for months?

>> oh, i was very happy to see them because they alive. they alive. some of my friends already died. >> reporter: i'm so sorry. >> yeah. it's a war. >> lots of people were pulling up their cars to their check point and walking across the bridge. they've seen no pictures and don't know what the state of their houses are. >> courtney, let look at the view from the pentagon. you have reporting on this new grand commander that russia has put in place known as the butcher of syria. what else do we know about him? what are folks at the pentagon bracing for given this change in leadership? >> reporter: so there's two real things to think about with this new change on the ground. the first is just who this individual is, known as the

butcher of syria. he has a reputation from his time from targeting civilians, frankly, with abandon, particularly in the city of aleppo where russians forces just killed civilians in brutal ways. there were allegations of rape and torture and tremendously, you know, war crimes, the kind of things that we're seeing happen and we're already seeing these atrocities happening in ukraine. it unclear how much of would change under had is leadership. beyond that, this is a recognition according to u.s. officials who i have spoken with by the russians that they have a problem on the ground, particularly with their command and control. so he according to the officials who he spoke with, he is being brought in so that they can better coordinate their efforts on the ground. look at what we've seen in the past 40-plus days of this campaign. the russian aforces aren't always speaking to the russian

ground forces. the various areas of russian military in the north and east and south, they are not speaking to one another. and because of it, we have seen russians -- there have been problems with logistics, problems with being beaten back by ukrainian forces who are, frankly, undermanned compared to the russian ground forces. so this may be a recognition by the russian government that they have had a problem and that they real problem and just in the last few moments we have learned that the raugss are now fwning that and may be towards the next part, the next phase of this campaign, which would focus on the southeastern part of ukraine on the donbas.

ground commander and it will be focused on one area. they've been fighting there for eight years now and it an area where we're concerned we'll see very brutal tactics against the ukrainian military and ukrainian civilians in that area, hallie. >> we are expecting a briefing a little bit later on this afternoon. okay. >> reporter: we are. >> general, what is your assessment of what court any has described here, the preparations and regrouping that the kem lynn seems to be taking on for this moment to be ready for the in. i think, as we looked at the russians the past couple of weeks, we know they had problems with communication and logistics and unprofessionalism within their ranks as well. this general that was brought in throughout the intelligence community. he is a butcher.

and he was brought in -- he's a president putin ouchl with any means necessary. so you're going to see him use chemical weapons, you're going to see him use torture chambers, you're going to see him use total terror on the civilian population to get the job done. now, what i'll tell you is this is going to be a vastly different fight than what happened in the kyiv area. so being able to communicate, command and control like courtney talked about, being able to sustain themselves with logistics and being able to integrate ground fire and air fire in order to mass on the ground will be a different story. i'm not so sure this one general can fix all that, but time will tell. >> when you say this is going to be a vastly different fight than what we've seen in the kyiv area, do you mean because of who

specifically as it relates to the ukrainian resistance. >> the other reason is because when you take a look at kyiv, it was compartment alliesed, you reallydown in the dom is more vast formland, green land, thos type things. so the kiss tans in you can spread out to protect yourself and also fire long-ran systems to be available to touch from it that's the key of what the rugs can do now and mass and encircle forces now. that's going to make a difference for the russians. they have the tanks, they have are. mark, we talked at the top

of the show about british offense officials saying there's been more. we want confirm reports but what, if anything, are you hearing from your inform app. >> sure. the intelligence community has actually to it's terrible what has happened but we have to be able to document you to are traps future war crimes tribunals or it we did the same thing. you know, my contact using rape as a systematic terror. and they had use informing which

has been quite flar spectacular. but ut malt. at some point this conflict will be over but snoo of course, people in russia aren't seeing the same imams that we're seeing because the. they are turning into teachers who do not back the car. a pan nfrm so, look, this is very stalinesque. one, it's not totally unexpected because there's so much -- a lack of information that's getting there. the russians are rallying around the flag based on the information that they are learning from their own state media. but still at the same time we must try any means we can to

push the truth inside for russia. so the russian people do understand what's happening. ultimately the truth will get in there. so it's whether it using vpm but at the end of the day the the russian evening i don't think there as any thought there's going to be any sort of uprising. ift. thank you both for your perspective this morning. appreciate it. we'll have a lot more on the war in up crane later on this pup ffrm but first, could former president donald trump face federal charges over. >> where does this go next?

did you catch liz cheney describing in her words a massive and well organized and well-planned effort. that is how she framed what she says the committee investigating january 6th has uncovered. and she said it's all enough to forward to the justice department for charges. >> it's absolutely clear that what president trump was doing, what a number of people around him were doing, that they knew it was unlawful. they did it anyway. >> according to "the new york times," there are divisions over to whether to go ahead and send that referral to the d.o.j. the major concern, which it

could. >> she said that the committee was in disagreement. she did go on to say on the sunday shows that the committee just hasn't decided yet if they're going to move forward with the criminal referral to the department of justice. but let being clear. it's something that the committee has been talking about, not only about donald trump but other people as well and about a lot of decisions regarding the january 6th select committee. there are some who say -- who point to what judge carter said in a recent case about the january 6th select committee, where he said it more likely than not that the former president did try to obstruct congressional proceedings on january 6th, an activity that could be deemed unlawful. and there are -- regardless of if the january 6th select

committee moves forward with a criminal referral to the daunl of there are some who say it doesn't matter what the committee does or says. it is up to the department of justice. there's already been some pressure from committee members with just to get this many to act on the criminalin tempt referrals, which the department of justice hasn't why the done fln and some want the justice department to act aggressively and to act swiftly. but pouch. and if they're actually going to send a criminal referral regarding drpt to the justice department. it re uncler if they're going to mabb that forecast coming up,

covid cases are up this morning in a couple dozen states in some of the nation's biggest cities like new york, here in washington, philly. they are definitely seeing an update. philly plans to decide today whether they should bring back an indoor mask mandate. dr. jah talked with savannah on the "today" show. >> i am not overly concerned right now. case number are uzing but the good news is we're coming off of some very low hospitalization numbers, numbers are the lowest thach been in the entire pan deck many. >> well, when the cdr and p they said only those in high-risk

areas, some local officials are trying to did. this morning with the nation's co individual cass is it time to make nchgs but a lot of people are probably going to say no. >> reporter: today in philadelphia where cases up up 89%, the fwf is expected to know when that to do. oaf the last to two woo png l.a.ly driven by the 2.2 porzs. rit hugh f and there frnl there is also a 76% increase in the nation's capitol where the number of high profile,

for americans urging them to reconsider travel to parts of china, including in atlanta, i'm blane alexander, nbc news. \joining me is anesthesiaist at the university of virginia and an msnbc medical contributor. >> good to be here. >> given that cases are up, it reported daily hospitalizations over the last couple weeks are down. is the takeaway that vaccines are working or could we be bracing for more to come? >> i think we will be bracing for more to come.

what we know is that if we're looking at just hospitalization and deaths, that lags by two weeks or more in most cases. if we get to that point, we're behind the eight ball. although we know that tests are decreasing, that means we have a serious problem and we need to be more pro active in this pandemic and not being reactive because being reactive costs us lives. >> does that mean that folks eligible for a booster shot given the fda authorized a second booster for people over 50, should they be considering that given the landscape in the country? >> we have to look at the intersection of pandemic and politics. we know congress has tut -- cut funding for the funding of

anti-virals. it's the things we would keep in our tool kit to keep you safe. i tell me family and friends, if you stay ready, you don't have to get ready. if you're vaccinated and boosted, you decrease chance of being new cases. >> with the holidays, easter, passover, spring break is happening now, for example, ahead of those. is the advice for people that you would give, the advice that you would give your patients to continue doing what you're doing, rapid testing the morning of gatherings, et cetera, or do people need to be thinking about this differently, at this moment here we are now in mid april? >> right. most certainly i think you should still continue to test yourself, especially in you've been in large crowds and before you mingle with other people. wearing your n95 asks and go to your pharmacist and ask if there are free ones available to you.

the older population has done a fantastic job but at this point we have 60% of americans who have not been boosted. 23 million people under the age of 5 are not even qualified to be vaccinated in the first place. a large majority of americans are still very vulnerable. to make sure you've done not only your part to protect yourself but everyone around you. >> thank you very much for joining us this morning with your expertise. today a texas district attorney is expected to dismiss an indictment after murder charges were dropped against a woman for what officials call a self-induced abortion. the 26-year-old woman was arrested and held on a $500,000 bond. it's not clear if she performed this alleged abortion by herself, if she was assisted by somebody else. texas bans abortions for women after roughly six weeks. can you talk us through, katie, why the district attorney

decided to drop these charges? >> well, hallie, what we can tell from his own statement, his word, there are no legal grounds in the state of texas for him to pursue these charges. he put out a statement yesterday saying that while he realizes the issues surrounding this case are contentious, this is simply not a criminal matter. and that is because in the state of texas, pregnant women are actually exempt from being charged with murder in the case of an abortion. they're actually exempt with being charged with any lesser version as well. the pregnant woman in the middle of it is actually exempt from prosecution and such is the case in texas. so the real questions that remain here are what statute was she charged under. we know from his statement that an abortion apparently happened at a hospital in january and that hospital workers informed

the sheriff's department of her situation, that it was perhaps self-induced and the sheriff's department started a criminal investigation and came one a criminal indictment against her. she was arrested and put in jail on thursday, was released and bonded out on saturday and we found on sunday the district attorney putting out the statement claiming that this was possibly an erroneous mistake, that he supports the investigation that happened but says this really is not a criminal matter. there is no legal jurisdiction for us to hold this woman and i fully intend to drop these charges. as you said, the spotlight is zeroed in on texas because of this extremely restrictive abortion law that passed in september, trying to prohibit abortions after six weeks. even with that law, the penalties are civil, not criminal. someone who aids and assists is subject to fines, not subject to jail time, not subject to

criminal charges, certainly not a murder charge. so the questions that have not yet been answered are what statute was she charged under initially and how does this happen again in the future or not happen again in the future based on the law because clearly the district attorney is reversing course of what the sheriff did in this case. >> katie beck live for us with that update. thank you. since the war in ukraine started, more than 7 million people have been displaced inside their own country. a horrific reality, especially for women and children. we go live to ukraine as the u.n. meets now and president biden meets with india's leader to focus on this crisis for women. >> when men like president putin start wars, women and children get displaced, women and children get hurt, women and children get raped and abused and women and children die.

. brand new signs of russian brutality in ukraine's second biggest city this morning. it said dozens of new air strikes, at least 11 people, including a 7-year-old child, has been killed. nbc has not verified that number. 7 million people have now been forced to leave their homes in ukraine. for more i want to bring in the united nations population fund representative in ukraine coming to us from inside ukraine. mr. nadal, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> good morning. thank you very much. >> can you give us a sense of what you and your team are seeing on the ground overall? >> yes. let me clarify one point. you referred to 7 million people being displaced in the country and that's correct, but we have on top of that 4 million who have left the country and have

refugees in other countries. this is a total of 11 million people displaced by this war. it's a number that has not been seen since world war ii, the number of displaced people. over 90% of the 4 million have have already left the country are women and children. and out of the 7 million that are displaced in ukraine, the vast majority are also women and children. men are not allowed to leave the country. men 18 to 60. so it's something that it's having a proportionate number on women. and according to our estimates we anticipate about 80,000 women could be giving birth in the next three months in the country. and these women need access to

services, need access to live saving services. regrettably at this point in time access to those services is not guaranteed. according to the world health organization, about a hundred hospitals and health centers have been affected by attacks. in many cases they have been destroyed. many of those are maternity and prenatal centers. you may recall the example of the hospital in mariupol. that's something that has been happening, similar situations in other parts of the country. right now if the very east unthere. they have all been destroyed. >> you can just imagine what it means for a woman that is pregnant, that is about to give birth to have a delivery, not being able to reach the hospital because the city is under shelling or reaching a hospital and realizing that she's not safe in the hospital because hospitals are being targeted or

that she has to have the delivery in the basement of the building in a makeshift shelter under circumstances that are completely inadequate. the situation is really a tragedy. we're seeing an increase in the number of miscarriages, of collapses, preterm births and other conditions that put at risk the life of these women. >> and you're talking about the potential for far longer term consequences, too. just in the last hour we heard from the president of a group called la strada ukraine at the u.n. meeting that happened this morning. she's one of the millions of women who has been displaced and she told this story to the u.n. i want to play it. >> the head of the village was found dead together with her husband and son after being taken by russian troops who occupied the village. severely tortured and killed for

staying with your community and performing her duty, organizing support, medicine, food to people. >> another harrowing story describes the impact on women in ukraine. what are the resources you do not have that you need or international sport that you most urgently want to see? >> we've been working with la strada for many years. they run one hot line for women who are survivors of gender-based violence. this is part of the support provided to the u.n. population fund for ukraine, support that we keep on deploying and delivering. we work in several other areas. i think that hag having a hotline is important to -- services for survival. so we provide support to the running of a number of

facilities, shelters, crisis rooms. we've been training the police in order to provide immediate assistance to women who are victim of those with medical supplies and with equipment for, that complements in the area of psycho social assistance, the survivors of conflict rerelated, sexual and gender based violence. on top of that, we are supplying -- and we have been able to reach four regions in the east of the country, including kharkiv, the one that you were just presenting a moment ago, and that you are now expanding it and the ten regions

more to the east of ukraine, the area most affected by the war. >> it is important for you to be able to share what you are doing, what your group is doing and the perspective from on the ground. thank you so much, mr. nadal, for being with us this morning. i appreciate it. we talked about how president biden is meeting with india's prime minister. you are looking at video now from the start of the conversation. let me bring in shannon pettypiece who joining us with more. bring us up to speed on any news with this discussion. india has taken a fairly neutral response on the war. and immediately i don't know is an war krfl given the expeck talks they are in a bit of a bind here. the fact that the u.s. and europe are major trading

partners of theirs, yet they are also very reliant on russia for military equipment and also just sort of overall defense support when it comes to a lot of conflicts in that region. so, as you noted, they have so far stayed neutral. what the u.s. has been asking india for, it's not for them to come out, you know, strongly against russia but for india russ, or invading the oil ban that the u.s. tries to put in place. india continues to buy oil from russia. the u.n. isn't calling for them to stop that. they're saying don't buy more oil and become an india in a very difficult position here. i think this is going to be one

of a number of conversations we see between these two request. >> speaking of the white house, this push from the president and his team on ghost guns today. they don't have serial numbers. they can get through metal detectors and people can use 3d printers to make them at home. these are some of the reasons why the straz is calling. raz isg

working with officials it assemble it. based on the reporting you have done, look ahead to the president's announcement today, what would change, right, under the new rules that the president and the white house are proposing. >> the video that you're showing, and the report that we did that you are referencing here, the reason that we went under cover was not because they were engaged in illegal activity, but it's because it was legal. and what we wanted to show in this report was just how easy it is to buy a kit that you are able to construct a ghost gun with. what is a ghost gun. essentially, these are weapons, firearms that are able to be built in anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on how experienced you are in putting one of these together. there are videos all over you tube on exactly how to construct it, and we have seen over the course of especially these last few months here incidents in which there have been high school kids, even younger than that that have been engaged in constructing and selling these

weapons and several individuals dying at the hands of them. and what is at this gun show here, you can buy them online. it comes in a kit about this big here. and there is no serial number, so law enforcement is not able to track where they come from, and when we went and bought that at the gun show, hallie, all we did is turn over cash. specific questions, there's no background needed. no. they are kiting, they are still just part here. that's where the new rule being put forward, a new atf rule will stipulate that these parts that ultimately make the firearm will now be considered firearms, and they will require them to have serial numbers on them, so, you know, one of the big concerns that we hear from law enforcement around the country is that ultimately they find one of these weapons at a crime scene, and they're not able to track who the seller of these products were because there are individuals buying in making

ghost guns and selling on the black market to felons who should not be in possession of a firearm. >> appreciate it. today marks a year since daunte wright was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop in brooklyn center, minnesota. now, how three local men are trying to help drivers feel more safe when they're stopped by police. that's next. when they're stoppy police that's next. now i'm down with rybelsus®. mom's a1c is down with rybelsus®.
