its missile attacks on the sports city of odessa. the w.h.o. now emergency. we will look at what that means for you. home, we are following the global heat wave impacting millions of people around the world right now. plus hopes that steve bannon's criminal conviction for defying the january 6th committee could force other reluctant witnesses to get in line. all of this as the former president lashes out at the committee and at a rally. dueling appearances from trump that is former vice president. -- we want to begin with the state department confirming today to americans have died fighting in the donbas region of ukraine. no further information has been released about their identities or their nature of their deaths. news coming as russia attacked a critical port in odessa,

which transports millions of tons of grain through the black sea, just hours after signing a deal with the ukraine and russia -- give us more information about what you know with the loss of these two american lives. >> i asked. there's not a lot of that we know at this moment. the state department has confirmed that two more americans have died in the donbas region, the scene of the most fiercest fighting here in ukraine. because of privacy reasons and respect for their families, they are not giving out their names or the circumstances under which they were killed. that brings the total number of american so far that we know of to four killed here in ukraine, with another three being held by separatists in occupied areas. that is why the state departments keeps rita iterating that u.s. civilians should not come to ukraine under any circumstances because

of the dangers here. the dangers were apparent this morning when russians hit the port of odessa. just yesterday they made an agreement with the turks and the un to allow those grains to leave those ports. -- before the ink even dried on that agreement, they launched for missiles entering odessa, two were intercepted, and to hit their targets. it's very disconcerting. it makes people wonder whether this deal will hold water. it is given some anxiety to commercial shippers that up to ferry that grain in and out of those ports. land an opportunity to speak to a member of parliament from odessa. he was saying the russians cannot be trusted. on the one hand, they signed an agreement allowing crane to leave the port, and with the other hand they missile those very ports. let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> the option is very simple.

to come with military ships to black sea, to make convoys, to take the grain, in reality, putin can't block the black sea. putin can't do anything to nato military ships. it's the reality. he just should be tested about its capacity to do this. he can attack civilian ships, but he can't do nothing with the real navy. so that is the answer. >> he said this was a very specific deal for very specific person, and it's not gonna lead to any wider cease-fire because ukrainians are adamant for any cease-fire to happen in this country, they won all of their territory back pre february 24th. also yasmin, it is imperative that this grain gets out of these ports. last year, ukrainian grain fed over 400 million people. many of those people, some of the most vulnerable on the

planet, on the edge of starvation and suffering from food shortages. >> ali, thank you always my friend. we are also following breaking news on the monkeypox outbreak. the w.h.o. now classifying the disease a global health emergency. in declaration -- hastened the scramble for vaccines. this is coming as the virus has stretch to 75 countries, with 16,000 confirmed cases. i want to bring in msnbc's medical reporter. -- thanks for joining us. cypress shade. let's just talk about the w.h.o. classification of a global health emergency when it comes to monkeypox. what was your reaction to that? >> i guess i wasn't that surprise, given the fact that they have debated it now for the last several weeks. it's interesting because even today, when dr. tedros met with

his committee, there were nine people who are not in favor, and six people who were in favors, we kind of overrode with seem to be the sentiment of this committee to declare this. the impact of this is simply that now, giving it this designation, essentially allows a more collaborative, international effort. as you, said interns of surveillance, in terms of therapeutics, and vaccines, as well as infection control in hospitals and things like that, my immediate thought yasmin is, how does that impact us here in the u.s.? i think this will have more of a global impact in terms of equity. this is a disease that was really thought to be just endemic in africa and so there are a lot of developing countries in the world that will probably benefit from the significantly, maybe more than here in the u.s.. what will probably happen here

is that more states and local authorities will be compelled to report cases to the cdc, which is very important for our surveillance efforts here as well. >> one of the big reasons, resources as you mention, should folks be worried about monkeypox right now? >> no. but i think it's really a significant and maybe nuance difference between this declaration versus the 12 years ago for covid-19, by the way the only other one that was disease that has been given this designation is polio, so it's quite significant. but i think for the average person listening to this and hearing about it, their risk doesn't change that much. we know that this is predominantly spread by very, very close and usually intimate contact with people who are symptomatic. this is very different than the

aerosol spread in transmissibility of covid-19. it really is kind of like apples and oranges. if you are in the community that is at risk, this is significant. in that regard, it certainly will even, should make your awareness even more heightened. >> doctor azar, let's switch gears. let's talk briefly about president of course dealing with covid. we are into day three of his covid diagnosis. he tested positive for covid on thursday morning i believe. we are not getting confirmation from the president's doctor that it seems as if he has the omicron ba.5 variant. he's also experiencing additional's symptoms it seems, one of which is body aches. some of his symptoms have also gotten better in the meantime. what does that say about his prognosis moving forward? his treatment as well? if anything of course.

-- >> it doesn't impact his prognosis at all, or his -- this is a more transmissible but not more violent strain of omicron. if anything, it should just augment the contact tracing that is likely already happening, given that his close contacts, that there is a greater likelihood that they very well could've been infected from him. but, i think it's important to point out, in terms of his symptoms, his trajectory of his symptoms, this is exactly what we would expect from a viral syndrome. he's doing incredibly well on day three. it is very good news to hear. if we do a quick review on the ages, and doing a stratification in terms of death of covid-19, 35% of deaths occur in the individual, 71 to 80, and 34% over the age of 80. this is really the group that

we are obviously so concerned about, and we discussed this as it relates to president biden. he's in reasonably good health, but he is older. again the fact that he had the antiviral treatment instituted early, and he so well vaccinated, is the likely the reason he's doing so well right now. >> doctor natalie, thank you. all right, the january six committee claiming yet another victory in the wake of steve bannon's conviction on two charges related to his refusal to appear before the committee under a congressional subpoena. let's get right to nbc's -- ali, let me start with you on this. 11 or the committee and batten him self saying in the wake of this conviction? >> steve bannon now the first former trump aide in the trump administration to be convicted as a result of one of these investigations into the attack

on the capitol on january 6th. despite, that he's still remaining defiant. he said after this verdict came down yesterday that he plans to appeal. he sat down with tucker carlson on fox news in his first interview since the verdict came down and lashed out at the committee, saying it's unfair, still calling it a witch hunt at a political circus. he said that really, in his words, when the republicans win back the house majority that this will become quote a real committee. but that's really not dampening the feeling of victory for the committee after this verdict. chairman bennie talon thompson and vice chair liz cheney saying yesterday in a quote this affirms the committee's work. just as there must be accountability for all those responsible for the events of january six, anyone who obstructs our costs aren't best again into these matters just face consequences. no one is above the law.

remember -- facing -- he said to stand trial early in november. that is a key point here and how this affects witnesses moving forward. the committee really has had the door slam didn't face so many times, has had to get creative with how to get witness testimony to prove their argument, prove their point in these hearings, because of allies of the former president who have refused to comply with the subpoenas, who have been willing to face criminal charges as we saw with bannon for continuing their loyalty to the former president. this is something that the committee sees as a win. they hope that it will help them. and bolster their efforts going forward as they wrap up this investigation yasmin. >> steve bannon, not bannon, talk to me about how this conviction for steve bannon how it place for other folks that have refused to testify, to

provide documents, asked for by the january 6th committee? i was thinking miles taylor and -- kirschner. -- also mark meadows accountable. i'm questioning why they did not move forward with that. what is this a big picture? >> big picture, i think that there have been trying to argue this case for months, that this investigation in this committee are somehow illegitimate. now we have multiple courts saying the opposite, that the investigations are completely legitimate. yesterday, we have a jury in d.c. saying that steve bannon simply does not have the authority, or the right to ignore a subpoena from this panel. big picture, the messages gone out to mr. bannon, who is not me, to pete navarro, two other witnesses, that this committee is very much for real. >> you're lucky you guys don't lookalike. you wrote a piece saying that what the former president did,

on january 6th, is as important as what is in fact he did not do. you want to say this, so why did trump ultimately issue a statement encouraging his followers to go home? because his weapon did not work. why do you see this is such an important part of the puzzle? >> for weeks we've been seeing the january six hearings have becoming very powerful and documenting the extent of which that -- he summoned his followers, he deployed them on the capitol, insulin. but this week was unique. this was a little bit different tone, a different message for the committee. they're emphasizing the things that the former president did not. do he did not contact the defense department, did not contact the chairman of the joint steep of traps, did not -- he was on the phone and watching the fox news channel. -- >> so you also say essentially

this was ultimately a backup plan right? because the former president wanted to be at the capitol himself, but was held back and told not to march on the capitol with the rioters -- there's nevertheless ample evidence suggested that the president after whipping up -- what stands out to you when it comes to his backup plan the president had at the end of the day considering the fact that it was his initial instincts it wanting to go to the capitol himself? right, you know one of the biggest questions we've had all along, what exactly was the plan? they're wet did donald trump intend to do ungenerous sixth? he said he was going to the capitol. he told his followers he was going to the capitol. he was unable to, because this evil service was not gonna let him go. the same time, one has to

wonder, what was the big plan, here? but did donald trump intend to do when you got inside the capitol, if that was something likely to happen? at this point we don't. now at the same time, it raises a series of questions, that investigators have to take very seriously. >> allie raffa, steve benen, think you guys both. appreciate. it still ahead this hour a preview in arizona, a fight for the future of arizona. >> i've gotten to know very well carey lake, as you're next governor. >> she is the clear conservative choice for republicans in arizona. >> the former president and vice presidents duel over candidates for arizona governor lays bare the danger for the gop moving forward. but first, the indiana doctor who performed the abortion for the ten-year-old girl speaks out in a new op-ed. that's coming up. t in a new op-ed t in a new op-ed that's...

>> so the vice president rebuked republican led states for not only criminalizing medical professionals who provide abortions but also for making no exceptions in the cases of rape or incest. vice president is going to travel to indianapolis on monday to meet with legislators for a special session to fight to protect reproductive rights in the states. this comes as an indiana doctor performed an abortion on a ten year old ohio girl, speaks out in an op-ed piece, one day after the man accused of impregnating her is indicted. the case has become a lightning rod. nbc's lindsey razor is following. this talk to you -- talk to us more about this backlash that kaitlyn bernard is getting, who performed that

abortion on that ten year old girl? >> yasmin she says she's one of the few doctors in her state performing abortions. she says she's been doing so safely for 12 years, but she said the past few weeks have been hard on her, on her family. this op-ed is titled, i provide abortions in indiana. i don't believe in turning patients away. in a doctor caitlin bernard, she's been called a liar, she's had her integrity questioned, she also expressed concern that the state legislature is looking to ban abortions with-limited exceptions. doctor bernard says, of those lawmakers, they will never face my patients, or stand in their shoes, or hold their hands. they will never know their pain. legislatures. legislators are the last people who should be in the business of deciding who should get medical care and who should. not a states move to ban abortions, patients are forced to go too far away places, turn to desperate measures. but the noose also relates to

the sparring with the attorney general in indiana, you'll recall the tundra kenow went on fox news publicly doubting her story and whether she reported the procedure on time -- the health department says she did so. doctor bernards has since sent what's called a torque claim, that's a first step against a defamation suit. ricky's office says it's not just an attempt to distract, but it's also an attempt to intimidate, abstract, and stop my offices monumental progress to save lives. it will take a lot more than that to intimidate us. he also accuses the doctor of using a ten-year-old girl's trauma to push her own ideological stance, but as for what's next for the suspect in this case, he, as we mentioned, was just indicted by a grand jury on two counts of rape. he has been? >> a lot to take in their, to say the, leaves and say, thank us -- thanks for walking us through this. appreciate it. coming up, a global heat wave. it's happening across the

with these temperatures, these unprecedented temperatures are really the new normal right? every summer it seems as if we have a heat wave, especially in europe. you've got climate protesters gathering in london and goff got today. one of the calling for? >> that's exactly. right this summer was hotter than last summer, next summer is guaranteed to be hotter than the summer. i was covering the wildfires in greece last summer, and the temperatures at this that time this year is hotter than last summer. -- we've got climate activists out across the country today saying, we told you this was gonna happen. climate activists in london stage a sudden in front of parliament, demanding the government move faster on climate action. they're asking governments to tax the big polluters, help people install more energy efficient heating in there, homes -- in london you have a lot of the old homes.

committee last. night it came as trump's former vp were holding dueling rallies on friday for the upcoming arizona got bitter primary. trump is backed-ing local newscaster carry lake, while pence is backing real estate developer karen taylor -- tweeting this instead. if the republican party allows itself to become consumed by yesterday's grievances, we will lose. but if we come together, keep our eye on the ball and focus on the future, we won't just win the next election, we will change the course of american history for generations. joining me now is republican strategists susan del percio and democratic strategist a team o'mara. thank you ghost for joining us. susan, let me start with you on this one. can we all take a moment to say, i can't believe this is happening? this juuling split screen moment of the former president with his former vice president

going up against one another. i can't help but think and wonder if this is just a prediction of what is to come in the run up to 2024. that aside, i wonder susan to you, who do you think is gonna win this race right now when it comes to endorsements, specifically in arizona? >> well, when it comes to trump's endorsements, when he is going against an incumbent or an elected official, he doesn't do too well. you can't beat something with nothing. but in this case, this is an open seat, neither incumbents, so right now it does lean towards donald trump. let's not forget the candidate he supporting believes and the big lie, tucks about it, as far as i'm concerned is against democracy, supported the insurrection of the capital, and that is all donald trump needs to hear. he needs to just here you are with me and you just want to

fight 2020 all over again. and that's where mike princess smart to move on. except he's in a weird place. he is so affiliated with this time in office with trump -- and yet he tries to separate from him. this makes no one happy. it makes them probably the biggest loser of this primary. >> you're actually getting to my next question a team. i want to refer to you this morning -- political poll asking if the gop primary was held today, the 2024 gop primary result today, would you vote for trump? 53% in fact they would vote for trump, 47% back in october in 2021 said they would vote for trump. so that being said, you think about the totality of what we have learned from the january 6th investigation, do you think

they are doing a disservice to the president for or the former vice president? >> well, i think it's a little bit of wood susan's. that pence is in a weird place. you've got -- i do think the 16 hearings are doing the damage to him politically and folks want to move on. but pence wants to represent the party moving forward in some way. and for someone who's been involved in the politics of adverse advocacy for a very long time, pence is not an example for the republican party moving forward. he's just a nice, or slick, or sounding donald trump. with better hair of why. honestly when he was a congressman, and he let a legislative campaign against planned parenthood -- people or a lower income and people need access to basic

contraception and health care services. -- he has said this year after the overcrowding of roe v. wade, that he would campaign on an actual abortion that. he's always been opposed to gay marriage. pence is trying to remake himself in this image, i was a hero on 16, clearly his supporters are trying to hold up as that, but he just did his job really. if he is the nominee, and i don't see at this point how -- >> he did his job though, a team, he did his job but the former president did not. so as much as they are the same and similar, on certain, issues he didn't necessarily support the overthrow of a government. >> he didn't necessarily support the overthrow of a government, and by doing, that he did his job as vice president. but his supporters are trying to hold him up as a hero, a new direction for the republican party, and what i'm saying is,

actually the publication party leading a lot more into a lot of what they have become over the last decade or so and a nicer version of that. that's all i'm simply saying about tents. he is not trying to pull himself away from trump either, because he's trying to have it both ways. >> so susan, i just want you to quickly answer this. do you think pence needs to start speaking out against the former president becoming and now never trumper? like a renewed never trumper? serving as vice president. and to follow, i just got asked both of you this, if donald trump is to run for president once again in 2024, who would you see him picking as his vice president? go susan. >> the second one first, the least threatening person you can possibly find that will go on a ballot with them. it will be and nobody, because he can't stand being upstaged. when it comes to pence, he can't win either way.

if he goes full never trump, he loses the trump support that is more likely -- his base if he doubles down on, trumpy still lets trump down. so it's a lose lose. >> a team? >> i think he joked about, oh i could pick desantis, and that's only because he doesn't want desantis running against him. that's actually a power play. the to pick's daughter, has been the joke. someone who would just follows directions. >> a team was like i don't even want to think about it. -- thank you so much. appreciate. it after the break, a deeper look at the sesame place controversy. how the cases expanding, despite the theme parks expel apology. following this viral video of
