good afternoon, i'm cory coughing in paris as mississippi. in a big court decision this sunday involving senator lindsey graham which could have a major impact on the george investigation of donald trump. we're also awaiting what trump has called a quote major motion in reaction to the search of a mar-a-lago home. details could come undone in time. this is brand new poll numbers out from nbc news show where a clear maternal majority -- investing in the form president. that poll also has some good news for president biden and democrats ahead of the midterms. we'll have more on that.

plus an explosion kills the daughter of a key ally of vladimir putin. raising questions about whether the ally himself was the target. in confusion reigns as florida school year starts with the don't say gay bill in full force. we will have a live report ahead. next hour, the two democratic candidates hoping to unseat governor ron desantis. the man behind that bill, it will join me live. nikki frieden charlie crist ahead of their tuesday showdown. you don't want to miss this. we're going to begin in georgia this hour way circuit court of appeals. a short time ago, temporarily blocked senator lindsey graham from having to testify before a fulton county special grand jury on tuesday. this blocking comes just two days after a judge had denied graham's attempt to delay the testimony. fulton county district attorney fani willis whose investigating possible election interference in georgia during the 2020 race wants to question graham about the calls he made to georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger after the election.

this new ruling could now delay that not for weeks but for months according to some experts. joining me now is nbc justice reporter ryan reilly. ryan, welcome and tell us what have you heard about this reversal and now could this truly be pushback past the midterms? >> there is the potential for that but essentially what the appeal circuit was -- couldn't have them take another look at it. more narrow pathway available here. essentially, what senator graham's argued is that he's protected by a -- privilege as a member of congress and he's acting that capacity. this was in his home state. this was more in the realm of political -- rather than his job as a senator. this was as part of the campaign, party trump's campaign team. i think it'll get kicked back in the -- we're not quite sure exactly how this will play out over the

coming months and what it means for when graham can testify, corey. >> you are following several investigations as we are to following them across the country. i want to show to florida. really quick, the search at mar-a-lago. what do we know about this critical major motion that trump has promised he's going to file about the search? >> we know he likes probably the term major motion and he probably likes this idea of having a special master appointed. it's another -- really this idea of putting a special master, which essentially means that you would have an independent entity come in and review all this material about -- it's a necessarily something he should do this late in the game. that's something we should do pretty instantly out of the search. there's also the question of whether it's really needed in this instance because all of these documents were supposed to be in the possession of the government through the national archives already. so it's basically just -- sort of continue to fund-raise off of this. sort of intervene in some

capacity but it doesn't seem -- it seems like they're so the grasping at straws here. because a lot of these members have already been made in those already -- started the process at the fbi making sure they are properly holding on to all of these documents they currently have in their possession. and that anything that should be left out is left out, cory. >> grasping extras turning it to be very lucrative for them. we're also for days away from the -- provide a redacted copy of their affidavit. so how is that process going? >> you know, i think they might have to make sure their pens are pretty stacked. the black pen is that they're using to redact these pages because they're going to really go for some pretty heavy redactions here. essentially, the oj has argued that the redactions are there going to be making or would make in this case would be so extreme that they would render the document meaningless. the judge decided that that's not a decision for doj to be making. so you can expect basically some pretty heavy redactions to come out of that process, corey. >> it would possibly end up looking like swiss cheese, i know some legal experts have

speculated. let's go to d.c. now. you have a story this week about a capitol police sergeant who survived the january six riot and says that he fears there will be another attacks alerted the insurrection. tell us about this morning. >> that's right. the sergeant who goes by the initial cte the cordon came and said i live with fear of another attack happening to the rhetoric that is currently discussed ad nauseam on social media radio in the news. it is exhausting to the point where i don't watch slash follow any form of media anymore since i seemed to live the news daily. he really pressed the judge to hold these individuals accountable and make sure quote that there are -- to be sure that their actions, if they'd -- if they're not held accountable, their actions will only encourage this horrific behavior again and again with the do not get their way. so it's another as we've seen additional threats as a result of the search in mar-a-lago, it's another sort of warning sign that's being thrown up about the impact of trump's

rhetoric. of -- whether we saw that the capitol on january six when we saw that with the fbi field office cincinnati. just over a week ago cory. >> nbc news justice reporter ryan reilly. thanks for starting us off this hour. ryan. >> and coming up later this hour, i'll be joined by former deputy assistant attorney general harry lippman to talk about whatever doctored source affidavit for mar-a-lago could look like. and of trump's fourth amendment claims could actually hold up in court at all. this next investigation is taking its toll politically on donald trump. late this morning, an exclusive new nbc news poll showing 57% of americans support the various investigations into trump's alleged wrongdoing. the polling also shows problems for biden to. the tangible achievements of summer marked by the passage historic -- passage of historic legislation in a record high jobs numbers don't appear to be resonating with voters. the president's approval rating stands at 42%. it's exactly where it was in may. with utica percent of voters saying they disapprove of the

joe by -- joining me now from four hoeven beach delaware were so biden spent the weekend. nbc's gary -- kind of talk about these numbers. let's begin with biden's approval rating. what could be some of the reasons behind the fact that it's just remaining stagnant in the low 40s, gary? >> cory, when i'm talking to voters all across the country, they're not happy. some of them are not happy about the u.s. involvement in the war in ukraine and the almost ten billion dollars that the u.s. has sent to ours ukraine to assist there. some others are not happy about the domestic economy. in a fears of a possible recession. it shows in our new nbc polling out today were 75% of respondents say america is on the wrong track. and that number has been that high for almost a year now. this is not some sort of a new number here. it does not look like there's optimistic about the future either. because they say 60% of respondents say america's best days are behind us. not ahead of us. but when we look towards that next generation those college students.

it reasonably seniors poll pulled calls to the sense that who do you want to see run in 2024? most college students are responded said they don't to see joe biden or donald trump run. cory. >> it does show a larger problem for democrats than what we were talking about yesterday which is that republicans might have a problem in the midterms. looking ahead to these midterms gary what are democrats doing to try to capitalize of these parties victories and maybe drive the message home of the more to voters. >> tv ads certainly working privacy those social. media campaign certainly work, we're gonna see those. the thing that works the best really is getting out and talking to the american people. that's exactly what we're seeing the biden administration do over the past couple of weeks. we've seen a trader presented of an iowa. you see the education secretary in new york. we've seen the housing urban development secretary in mississippi really trying to sell things like the inflation reduction act. and what they think is going to benefit americans in that regard. but democrats especially democratic candidates do have a big decision to make in the coming months as we approach

these midterms. whether or not they want to see administration officials or president biden himself campaigning on their behalf. >> you touched on a very important point there gary. we're gonna be talking about some available later on in the show about that exact point. what should the democratic party do moving forward? >> gary karabakh, thank you very much. and delaware. we're gonna turn now to some breaking news in somalian in the suffolk aware -- killed at least 21 people and it's finally over. the islamic extremist group, al-shabaab, which has ties to al-qaeda, claim responsibility for that attack. that injured another hundreds more. -- storm the hyatt hotel in mogadishu on friday night, including -- police have not yet confirmed the exact details of how that siege unfolded or how many gun men took part. we know it has ended. we are waiting to hear details. >> and we've never seen you summarize your warning vessel geishas underway after the murder of the daughter of a key

putin ally. in a car bomb attack. russia's main investigative body says daria de keena died instantly after the car she was driving in exploiter day in a small town outside of moscow. her father is alexander durkin, he's often referred to as putin's brain is a vehement or supporter of russia sending troops into ukraine. nbc's megan fitzgerald is live for us out of kyiv. megan, it would also re-learning about this attack? >> what we know is that this attack happened late saturday evening as you mentioned. we're talking about hitting close to president putin's inner circle. this is the daughter of a man who is a big supporter of this war with ukraine. in the invasion of ukraine we. know that he attended this cultural festival with her yesterday evening we understand that she gets into her car witnesses say that her father got into another car as a last-minute decision. she's on her way back heading close to moscow when this

alleged car bomb went off killing her instantly. this is being investigated by russian authorities as a murder investigation. they believe that ukraine is behind this attack, ukraine has come out and said that they are not. and that they don't support terrorist acts like this as opposed to russia, russia of course -- the big question is will there be some sort of retaliation. that is something that is yet to be seen. >> we do want to turn out to the latest on the war in ukraine. there is concern today after a russian missile fell near a major nuclear plate. when we know about that? >> according to ukrainian authorities is that this missile was launched by the russian was intended to hit ukraine's second largest nuclear facility. but it didn't. in ended up hitting a residential building. this is why we're hearing from ukraine saying that russia is trying to commit nuclear terrorism here. not far away from this location is the biggest nuclear power

plant in all of europe. the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant this. is something that we've been talking about for the last several days now. there is increasing concerns that the russians are in control of this plant are in the process right now of trying to shut down. the concern there is that the slightest mistake could lead to a leak at this nuclear facility. a leak would mean that we can be looking at radioactive material seeping out of that plant, spreading throughout europe. right now, the latest indication from the ukrainians that the russians have told ukrainian employees at that facility not to come back to work indefinitely. and that is a serious concern. as we watch this very sensitive situation unfold. >> megan fitzgerald in kyiv for us right now. thank, you megan. later this hour, i'll be joined by ukrainian parliament member hero deep to talk about her six month later, her country is still fighting to keep russia out alaska or about the mood among ukrainians in their vision for the future. don't miss that. and still ahead this hour we

dive deeper into the multiple investigations surrounding former president trump and his allies. from classified documents at mar-a-lago to election interference in georgia. but first, the battle over education in florida classrooms. how the don't say gay bill is creating confusion for teachers and students as well as parents as they head back to school. >> as well as parent as they head back to school. as they head back to school. >> ♪ ♪ this is the moment. for a treatment for moderate-to-severe eczema. cibinqo — fda approved. 100% steroid free. not an injection, cibinqo is a once-daily pill for adults who didn't respond to previous treatments. and cibinqo helps provide clearer skin and less itch. cibinqo can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. do not take with medicines that prevent blood clots. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma,

in florida, public school students may notice some changes in their classrooms. this will be the first full school year under the new parental rights and education law. also known as the don't say gay law. signed by governor ron desantis back in may. as expected by many, the bill is already creating confusion across the state as textbooks, classroom libraries, even family pictures that he just put on their deaths are now subject to scrutiny. you're here to explain all this. nbc's stephanie -- stephanie, so walk me through that parents, teachers and students themselves in florida. how they're preparing for this for us here under the new law? >> cory, there is a lot of confusion about this new law. i am here in sarasota, florida. i'm outside this bar and grill and this is one of several stops that governor desantis will be making today to promote his education agenda. as you know, public education here in florida has become highly politicized. as teachers and students head back to the classroom, there is a lot of confusion as to some

of the new legislation that is passed. specifically the parents parental rights of education law. this is also called the don't say gay law. the so-called don't say gay law. it involves teaching things like gender identity, and a sexual orientation to kindergarten through age three. this law bans that. what it also does, though, is it can enable parents to actually sue teachers for teaching material that the parents deem inappropriate. and again, this is causing a lot of confusion. it's causing a lot of fear for teachers who are fair potential lawsuits. each district here in the state of florida is trying to deal with implementing these new state standards. but earlier this week, governor ron desantis was speaking out. he essentially doubled down on why he passed -- pass this legislation. take a listen. >> how you would think that it would be appropriate to have these elementary school kids being told, and they are doing

this and other states, being told some six-year-old boy, you may really be a girl. that is inappropriate and that is wrong. and so we put a stop to that in florida. >> and again, governor ron desantis is expected to arrive here in sarasota around 3:00. i can tell you that we are starting to see a pretty large crowd here. it is expected to be a packed house inside. in also it's interesting to note here that i did hear a few very small group of protesters who are speaking out against the governor. again, this is such a controversial issue and education here in florida, very highly politicized at the moment. >> education politicize of the state of florida. that certainly sticks with you. stephanie, thank you. coming up in our next hour, i'll be joined by two florida democrats who are battling it out for the chance to unseat republican governor ron desantis november. the primary election just days away, all asked florida agriculture commissioner nikki

have to testify before a special grand jury in fulton county georgia on tuesday after all. a circuit court of appeals has just temporarily blocked it today in ruled that a lower court to decide if he isn't out of some protections. based on the speech and debate clause of the constitution. msnbc legal analyst joyce vance tweeted this quote the 11th circuit significantly delays in any will as a billeting to take lindsey graham's testimony. romantic the case of the district court offered to decide if the subpoena can be squashed because of the speech and debate clause. this could be months, not weeks. joining me to discuss a former u.s. attorney and former deputy assistant attorney general during the clinton administration harry lippman. welcome, do you agree with choices assessment? do you think this could be pushed back past the midterms? >> yeah, i basically do. so what the court of appeals has said is not decided if it

can be squashed under the speech debate clause but partially quashed. graham originally said, hey, i'm just doing my job as a senator. i have protection under the speech and debate clause. that's wrong. you have protection for talking on the floor for a few narrow things, not anything you do as the senator. in the district court said there is plenty of stuff you can talk about, go talk. the court of appeals this morning said maybe you should consider what he can talk about. he had an -- maybe you should consider it. they sent it back down, they're going to brief it, may be expedited, but they're going to brief it. decide that and then back up to the 11th circuit to the side. even if everyone's moving pretty quickly, that sure sounds like a couple of months until he has to raise his right hand. >> okay, that's what's happening in georgia. a bit of a delay. let's go to florida now. and the fbi searched mar-a-lago. what do you think the redacted affidavit there would look like once the department justice has

submitted the revisions? >> they actually said, if we had to redacted it'll look like gibberish. i think it's clear that some of it, they'll be chunks and that's what the magistrate judge said. but they'll be chunks to look terrible. i just happen to pregnant before coming on corey d. redacted copy of the mueller report. their apartment just released. here you go, here's a couple of pages from it. here is one, here is the two. for sure, they're gonna be pages like that. for sure, that's going to lead the public dissatisfied and for sure, trump even though it's not in his interest release any of it will jump up and down and say we're -- what's underneath there, et cetera. it's the stuff, the roadmap of the investigation, the classified information. the protection of the witnesses that in no world could possibly be released. so it's going to be at best, this kind of frustrating half or three quarter redacted document. >> three quarter might be

generous, once you see the pages that you just showed us. on tru's fourth amendment claim. you say that this is just another ploy to suppress evidence. can you elaborate on that? and whether his calls for that or a special master have any legal standing. >> first, on the fourth amendment. under the fourth amendment, you can suppress an illegal search. i don't think there's any where this was illegal. they were so careful about it. but you can't do it until your charged. the only thing he could do now is suing the fbi that would have all kinds of protection. it is just out of the question. even when he eventually bring said, i think the way. what he's saying is the attorney client privileges. they gathered all these things and they did a carefully. they know the trump playbook and segregated out things that could be attorney-client privilege. he says i don't want to trust the department of justice to say what's privileged. guess what, he doesn't have to. it's going to be the judge that makes those calls in the department justice have set it

up and segregated so they can't. now the latest in trump land is we don't like to judge. the judges presidents against -- they actually had to close down the judges synagogue on saturday because there were so many threats coming from michael land. there is a process in place for attorney-client privilege. it's a normal one. it's fine and i don't see his able to somehow make another layer of protection. >> it's disheartening to see and hear there are more threats continuing to be put out for people in the justice system -- really quickly while i have you. i want to ask you about this news that came out on friday. this is a really detailed. so viewers listening very carefully. a d.c. circuit court will be the department of justice must release a 2019 memo to then ag bill barr regarding the conclusion of the mueller probe. the district judge for that the memo wasn't properly redacted and contain information on the kind of public statement barr should make about mueller's findings. not whether the department of

justice was considering bringing charges against trump. so my question to you here is that the department of justice does not pursue another appeal. what do you anticipate we could learn from the release of this full memo and couldn't have any impact on the current trump investigations? >> i don't think they'll -- here is the deal. they said at the time, we're not gonna give it to you. this is what barr considered. just before coming out and saying, there is no charges to be made against trump. in a sound that -- all -- they had and. it had already been a preacher conclusion. it was a foregone thought already. so when the department of justice resisted turning it over saying this is our deliberate process, the court and now the court of appeals said it is a stern rebuke. forget about that. you weren't deliberating. that was basically a fib. you were just figuring out the pr of something you'd already decided. it gets to go out of the people. listen i will see it all and

we'll see it's not about -- what is actually about. but it's not about deliberating what decision to make because the decision not to charge him already had been made. >> we will await the timeline of where that will be released. harry lippman, thank you. thank you for outlining all that and making it clear for us. coming up in the next hour, congressman intel committee member jim himes joins me to talk about what he hopes the committee will learn from the fbi's mar-a-lago shirts in the ongoing investigation to trump's handling of classified documents. plus, former president donald trump's were gonna be solidifying his control of the republican party. voters in wyoming made it clear they were down with congresswoman liz cheney's criticism of him. while her landslide loss wasn't a big surprise by the time election day rolled around. the shift away from the cheney family, a gop institution, to becoming the party of trump's nothing short of extraordinary. here is nbc's ali vitale with more. >> liz cheney lost the battle tuesday night in wyoming.

she won. i called her to concede the race. >> but she still hoping to win the war. >> i will be doing whatever it takes to keep donald trump out of the oval office. >> tuesday's results crystallizing the hold trump has of his party. gop voters electing candidates who've embraced election lies and partisan mitch vitriol in -- >> the election was rigged -- >> underscore the contrast to the party today in the wind cheney's father declared as vice president not even 20 years ago. >> len and i are so proud of liz for standing up for the -- >> trump's electoral scores offensively settle this year. not just cheney, who despite a voting record over 90% with trump, was still a top 2022 target. but at the ten who voted to impeach trump, for lost primaries, for decided on to run for reelection and only two survived. it means the house republican conference thinner than ever with moderates. and teaming with ultraconservative pro trump republicans. >> honestly, my opinion is by

liz. i barely knew you. will really miss you. >> these kinds of different -- >> he's not wrong. don for the most -- evidence by policy. >> you don't hear much from the republican party these days about limiting government. republicans don't even really talk about that anymore. >> as much as persona. conservative taking on a new meaning recently. some of the voters that i talked to when they say you're not conservative enough, i think they might mean is you're not pro trump enough. do you think you still fit in that party? >> if it is that, if the republican party chooses to go in that direction. i think they leave behind a lot of americans. >> the alaska senator one of seven senators who voted to convict trump of impeachment charges after the -- advance of a primary tuesday night. hoping to be a proof point of trump's ire isn't a political kiss of death. even as trump acolytes in her state like sarah palin hope trump will be enough to mount a come back. >> we cannot afford anymore -- when i was in office or we get

less freedom. >> not all republicans see upside in a party written in from so. >> there's probably a greater likelihood the house splits. in the senate. >> senator mcconnell florida problematic candidates recruited in trump's image. >> senate races are just different. candidate quality has a lot to do with it. >> all these threads of trumpism short accommodating the looming republican presidential primary. the former presidents foes and friends positioning themselves around him. from pence who's leaving the door open to testifying against january 6th. >> there is an invitation to participate i would consider it. >> to desantis campaigning in arizona with pro trump candidates. >> i call it big desantis energy. >> to cheney herself. >> are you thinking about running for president? >> that's the decision of going to make in the coming months. >> coming up next. drastic changes are ahead for the cdc after multiple missteps during the pandemic. how new strategies go out and to respond better and faster to public health emergencies. plus new york seasons first

known case of monkeypox in a child as vaccine distribution efforts continue to struggle to meet with demand. it will have all of that just ahead, stay with us. stay with us. landscaper larry and his trusty crew... were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone. an e. coli outbreak is hitting

a fast food restaurant wendy's. the chain is pulling let us use on sandwiches and several midwest regions as the cdc investigates. agency has not confirmed that the lettuce is the source yet but says that people fell ill after eating sandwiches with remained lattice on restaurants in michigan ohio and pennsylvania. so far, 30,000 people have been reported being sick. ten of them going to the hospital in the same three states. plus indiana. the cdc is calling for major changes to the agency. acknowledging their misstep showing the covid pandemic. director rachel rolinsky's looking to overhaul the agency to respond better and faster to future revoke emergencies. in an email to cdc employees, she outlined the changes. those will include creating new

internal systems and policies in the hands communication and accountability. setting up new governance structures, sharing new findings and data faster. translating science into policies that are easier to understand. and developing a better prepared workforce for future emergencies. those proposed changes come as public trust in the agency is nearly evaporated. the cdc's face widespread criticism throughout the pandemic for confusing messaging and questionable policy decisions. dr. walensky admits quote in our big moment, our performance did not meet reliably meat expectations. doctor -- msnbc medical contributor and founder and ceo of advancing health equity joins me now. kind of break all this down and interpret what's going on here. so from your medical perspective, are these changes enough? do you think the cdc can earn back the public's trust? >> cory, thank you so much for having me. this report was much needed. it was long overdue. i would say some of the

conclusion -- really the devil is in the details. in terms of how these changes are going to happen. how fast they're going to happen. we know that the cdc is an established institution. changes take a long time to happen. and as well recommendations make tremendous sense. how long will they take to go into effect and will they be ready for the next pandemic or to change what's happening right now? that's my concern. i think as you mentioned, public trust has been significantly eroded. i think the public wonders where a lot of recommendations come from. are they being too political and economic pressure? i think the communication with the public needs to be much more transparent. and much more honest. >> you spoke about their ability to handle the next major, whether it's pandemic, another type of outbreak or emergency. i want to ask you about

monkeypox. the first pediatric case was reported in new york. the biden ministration is also under increasing criticism because of a severe lack of vaccines. do you believe that this outbreak is just moving too fast to contain? >> cory, i'm concerned we. we're behind the ball to start within this new strategy is -- it's questionable. there is very limited evidence supporting this rational dosing. i am concerned, we just talked about, this new strategy where people receive a fifth of the full dose of the monkeypox vaccine. they will receive it intradermally between a skin layers as opposed to into the fat. i am concerned that they -- that maybe further undermine public trust. people may wonder, where is the data for this? there hasn't been many studies looking at this technique before. especially for this particular vaccine. and they may wonder if this is going to be an effective way to control the spread of monkeypox. i think that remains to be seen. what we do know is that the

lgbtq i a+ community really needs the resources. we need to really director resources to the communities that are being most impacted. we've already seen racial health inequities. -- disproportionately infected among those of monkeypox. we need outreach. we need data collection. we need to make sure that those most affected are getting the resources that they need. >> with us, having our first pediatric case now. is that an expected natural progression or is that a concerning development? >> i would say that is a natural progression, we would expect that. even though we have seen most cases among people who identify as gay, bisexual or other men who have sex with man the fact that is they have families and even someone who lives with someone who is infected can get infected with monkeypox. it can be through cuddling, through feeding somebody, through touching utensils or abetting that infected person has touched.

or even being and prolonged contact with someone respiratory secretions you would be with some of that you will live with. this is expected but again, obviously very concerning that a child is infected. especially because children, pregnant people and immunocompromised people are at higher risk for severe outcomes to monkeypox. another reason why really need to get those resources out of the communities. -- >> doctor richie blackstock, thank you for your time today. and helping outline that kind of the spelling some of the myths there surrounding monkeypox which still as you mentioned a very concerning issue that needs to be addressed by the biden administration with more vaccines, whatever that looks like. thank, you doctor. >> after the break, six months, that's how long it's been since russia invaded ukraine and turn the country into adaptive war zone. despite this, ukrainians have yet to give up their fight for their homeland. parliament or euro -- joins me next to talk about how ukrainians are holding out hope for victory and eventual return

very clear that a russian invasion of ukraine wasn't just inevitable, it was imminent. vladimir putin appeared on russian television gathering his security council to discuss recognizing the independence of the donetsk and luhansk regions. he also ranted against ukrainian sovereignty, saying the country needed to be purged of corruption. three days later, on february 24th, russia officially invaded ukraine. more than 100 missiles rained down, followed by ground troops approaching from three fronts. in the six months since, devastation has been difficult to comprehend. officially, the united nations reports more than 5000 civilians killed in 7000 injured. but that is believed to be a severe underground. ukraine says the true death toll in this is tens of thousands.

there are more than 6 million refugees now scattered across europe, with millions more displaced within ukraine. the international criminal court is investigating russia for alleged war crimes, hoping to put forward its first case by this winter. it includes, in particular, the horrors in bucha, where 400 people were killed this spring after a russian siege that led to horrifying images. russia continues to deny targeting civilians. >> the war, of, course has had ripple effects around the globe from supply chain issues to worsening food insecurity after grain exports or blocked. for the past six months, they've also been a story of stronger than expected ukrainian resistance. joining me now is kira rudik, a member of the ukrainian parliament and leader of the liberal political party voice. kyra, welcome. thank you for your time today. we're learning this afternoon that president biden spoke with leaders of britain, france and germany today. are these leaders doing enough to help your country? >> today on day one 79 of the

war, first of, all we want to thank our allies because all of the victories, all the support that we are getting is because you guys are giving us weapons. you're giving us money and you're giving us all the resources to fight russia back. on day one 79, we are finding the same result that we were fighting on day one. right now we are seeing more victories and more advance from the ukrainian soldiers. this is happening because we finally started getting the weapons. but we need more. answering your question, we'd need more weapons, more money, more supplies. you see how affected we are. you see how far we can push russians if we have enough support. we will need more of this support. we are facing right now one of the most complicated autumns and winters since the second world war. when the world faced energy

crisis, economic crisis and -- obviously we will have to stay together to overcome it. ukraine will be fighting. ukrainians will be resisting. but the matter of our victory is the matter of the amounts of support that we will be receiving. so we do need it to continue. >> as you well know, kira rudik, the 24th is not a late the six month anniversary of the invasion it's also ukraine's independence day. president zelenskyy warning that russia could carry out vicious attacks that day. the city of kharkiv will be under a curfew all day. how concerned are you? >> we are concerned. we know that the tyranny's love the dates. putin increased his attacks on hundred days of war, when ukraine got the candidacy to the european union. he knows that he cannot miss the independence day. so we are asking all ukrainians to stay home and make sure that

they listened carefully to air raid sirens if they are in the bomb shelters when they hear them. we know that that will be something. we know the threat of the ukrainian people is unmatched in the world. six months and now, how is the moral in your country and what impact has the fatigue of war had? >> people are exhausted. because honestly everybody thought that the war it wouldn't last for so long. people are ready to fight. and you see that the support you the support of our lives they all remain the same. and give us the strength -- no peaceful deal, no negotiations with the aggressor that we can regain our sovereignty our freedom. this is what we are fighting for. >> and then hopefully having a new independence day to
