michigan. we do know that object was shot down by an f-16. norad's commander says they aren't calling that object a balloon because they're not able to say right now how that object was able to stay in the air. the uncertainty is escalating the war of words between the united states and china. china claims the united states has been flying balloons over chinese airspace without permission. that's an argument admiral john kirby flatly denied earlier. >> not true. not doing it. that's absolutely not true. we or not flying balloons over china. >> also this week, over a week since the devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria,

rescue crews are amazingly still finding survivors in the rubble this morning, but the devastation is immense, spanning the area nearly the size of texas, and the number of people confirmed dead is now more than 35,000. in moments i'll be talking with former arizona senator jeff flake, now the ambassador to turkey about how the u.s. is helping people there. and a tragic story out of new jersey putting a spotlight on bullying in schools. a 14-year-old took her life shortly after being beaten by classmates at school. one incident was caught on camera. now as parents demand answers and accountability, the school district's top official is out of a job. details on all this ahead for you. we start the hour with if mysterious string of aerial objects in the u.s. that has been shooting down from the sky. nbc's dan del luis is at department of defense, allie raffa at the white house and garrett haake joining us from

capitol hill. dan, we'll start with you as we play a bit more of what admiral kirby said earlier on recovery of these objects. >> we'll continue to share as much information with the american people as we can. as we learn more about these objects. the truth is we haven't been able to gain access to the three shot down friday, saturday and yesterday in large part because of the weather conditions, and the third one yesterday was shot down over lake huron. so it's under water. we'll do everything we can do recover them. as soon as we do that, we'll learn more about that and absolutely share what we can learn with the american people. >> u.s. military leaders on sunday said they're in the dark about the exact nature, the purpose of these objects. take us through what we do know and what the pentagon is doing now to learn more. >> it's just incredible how little information there is out there. you're right, they're not able

to answer many questions. the one on friday was shot down in the arctic ocean off the northern coast of alaska. it's 30 below or colder there. there's snow, there's ice, and the team -- recovery team has not even reached the site yet. the sect object on saturday shot over canada. that was shot down over northern canada. that has not been retrieved. the one as we just heard about in michigan, that hasn't been retrieved. until they get their hands on these objects, which they're calling them, we really don't know what they are. were they benign research systems? were they somehow sent by foreign adversary? no evidence at this point that they're connected to that chinese balloon that was so large and so visible. this is still being looked at -- that recovery effort, off the coast of south carolina is still under way, and weather there has

complicated things. the fbi is on the scene, and some of that debris has been brought back to a lab in quantico, virginia, and they're examining those electric pieces and parts of the balloon as we speak. >> okay. we're also lucky to have joining us jamil jafer, the founder and executive director of the national security institute. let's get to this with you. jamil, unlike the chinese balloon shot down off the coast of south carolina, norad said in a sunday briefing it's unclear how the most recent objects stay in the air, how they move. beyond finding out the origins of these objects, what kind of things will national security officials want to learn about them? is it mostly technology based information. >> even more important is trying to figure out what are they collecting on? at least some aviation analysts

has suggested the very purpose is to collect on our radar system, air defense systems, including the systems of the aircraft taking them down, the f-22, f-16, the radar pods, the missiles in the like. specifically the terminal phase of flight, that only happening when you're taking a shot of these things. the very purpose may be to draw fire to figure out hour our systems work. >> this may sound cynical. in the world of spycraft this could be legit, jamil. is it possible that after what we know is a chinese spy balloon, after that was shot down, is it possible that things might have been launched to do exactly what you're saying. they may not be something that has a lot of information gathering technology, but they may be saying let's see how long it takes, how they will react? >> that's certainly a very real

possible. it could also be the russians testing our defenses. we know it's clearly an earth-borne adversary coming after us. are they looking at sensitive sites? we know this last craft shot down over lake huron did pass over sensitive dod sites in montana. that may raise questions, too. the question is why are we seeing them now? is it because we reduced our filters? are these new objects being sent in recent days and weeks? >> that's a very good question. what if it's outdated technology? there's a lot to ask. next question to you, ali, with china stoking all the diplomatic tensions, they've been accusing the u.s. of flying balloons in their airspace which admiral kirby denied earlier on msnbc. what are the white house concerns around our relationship with china and potentially china's intentions big picture? >> alex, if you think of where

relations between the u.s. and china have been since this all started, there haven't been relations at all. secretary of state antony blinken postponed his trip to beijing. we learned from the pentagon last week that calls from defense secretary lloyd austin were being ignored in china to talk about that. you heard john kirby flat-out deny these accusations, the chinese officials saying the u.s. is flying its own surveillance balloons over china. this morning he flatly said that was wrong. the white house in a statement saying, quote, this is the latest example of china scrambling to do damage control. obviously, u.s. officials don't have a high expectation of how china is going to handle all of this, but the lack of transparency and information coming from the white house about how china factors into this whole situation, not just with the chinese spy balloon but these subsequent discoveries of unidentify objects that we don't

know the origin of, that's leading to a slew of conspiracy theories. people starting to think the worst of the american people, lawmakers on capitol hill asking for more information that we haven't gotten from white house officials yet. remember, we learned of the chinese spy balloon from our own courtney kube by's reporting. then we learned of the unidentified object shot over alaska on friday after it was asked about it during the white house press briefing. the unidentified object shot down over the yukon on saturday. we expect a white house briefing that will involve john kirby as well as press secretary karine jean-pierre. >> let's talk about capitol hill with you, garrett. new hope for a bipartisan committee focusing on china. per our reporting those areas include spotlighting human rights abuses by the chinese communist party, devising a strategy to reduce u.s.

dependence on china and investigating the alliance between russian president vladimir putin and chinese president xi jinping, especially as it relates to defending taiwan. garrett, beyond briefings, hearings, resolutions condemning china, what kind of legislation might be on the table for lawmakers? >> reporter: alex, i would say despite the fact standing up to china is one of the few principles that unites democrats and republicans in this congress, it's hard for me to see how much legislation might make it out of this congress and to joe biden's desk. to the degree there is any, i think it follows the template laid out in the last conference which is something like the chips and science act which managed to pass late last year to fund the u.s. semiconductor industries to make us less dependent on chinese and chinese manufacturers. started as more of a r&d-focused bill and ended up being more manufacturer support.

another major china-focused policy, not just from that committee, but congress as a whole, to find a place where the rememberer meets the road and stand up to the chinese communist party. the first place on the globe where that potentially happens is in taiwan. i think the other broader area where this could come into some conflict in this congress, he's beefing up u.s. defense spending in general. all of this is happening in the context of a republican party who wants to cut spending significantly this year perhaps as soon as june and the cost of raising the debt ceiling, do you cut defense spending where the u.s. and china's posture is becoming more aggressive towards one another? it's an open question and one i think this congress will have to chew over quite a bit. >> lots of chewing on that, garrett. jamil, beyond the chinese spy balloon shot down february 4, i want to play some of the concerns about what these aerial objects expose. >> what's gone on the last two weeks or so, ten days, has been

nothing short of craziness. the military needs to have a plan to not only determine what's out there, but determine the dangers that go with it. >> we're going to have to begin to look at the united states and the airspace as one we need to defend and have appropriate things to do so. this shows the problems and gaps we have. we need to fill those as soon as possible. >> they have a plan while congressman turner says this has exposed problems and gaps and we need to fill those as soon as possible. how? what are the solutions the biden administration should be pursuing and how can congress help? >> well, it's a great question. obviously you see bipartisan concern from both sides of the aisle saying, look, we need to make sure we can understand what's over u.s. airspace and take action if we need to. clearly we're starting to try to identify more. that requires better capabilities, better surveillance and, frankly, the

significant ai capabilities, separating them out from the noise, to identify them and take action if need. >> i want to thank you all, dan, alley, garrett and jamil, thank you so much. coming up, glimmers of hope in kur see and syria as rescues continue more than a week after the devastating earthquakes that have left more than 35,000 people dead. those dramatic stories and the demands for accountability. i will talk with the former u.s. ambassador to turkey, former senator jeff flake. the strikes on the eastern said of ba mood how the russian offensive is stepping up. ahead. ive is stepping up ahead.

it has been more than a week since those horrific earthquakes in turkey and syria, and yet today rescue crews are still

finding survivors. take a look at this video. a rescue team discovered this young girl who had been trapped in the rubble for 178 hours. there are lots of cheers there, shouts of "god is great" as a medical team is carrying her to safety. so far, though, more than 35,000 people are confirmed dead. in turkey, the fallout has escalated. officials say over 100 criminal proceedings have been launched for those allegedly involved in construction of those buildings that collapsed. let's go to nbc's matt bradley joining me once again from turkey with more on the recovery effort. the reporting has been absolutely heartbreaking and compelling, matt. tell us what you're seeing there today. >> reporter: alex, you mentioned there's still people being pulled out of the rubble. in fact, just two days ago we were seeing people pulled out of the rubble with assistance of americans in a nearby town. this is something, as you mentioned, we saw cheers.

four people almost once week since the earthquake. this is something that has kept a lot of these people going, a lot of the motivation behind a lot of the rescuers. however, the problem here, when you look behind me, there's still some sightings that this is moving from a rescue operation, to a recovery to rebuilding. the president has promised rebuilding would start within several weeks. as you can see, there are no longer crowds of people walking around, no longer hard-hatted rescuers looking for people alive, using dog, sophisticated instruments to see if there's anybody alive underneath. instead we're seeing earth movers and diggers essentially looking like they're clearing this area. so this is a wrenching decision. we're mott sure if there's one central authority that's going to be making it saying we're no

longer going to be looking for living people. we're going to be only trying to rebuild. we heard from the head of the united nations and emergency relief coordinator. he said very soon they would be stopping rescue operations. some international teams who were here for the sole purpose of finding living people, survivors, they have already left and left within the past 24-48 hours. so this is a sign that we're no longer seeing these rescue operations. we've just starting to rebuild. as you said, we're still seeing people being pulled out alive. so it's a hinge here. it's a moment when we're trying -- when this country is trying to decide whether or not to keep going with the rescue operations or simply move on because the likelihood of finding survivors is going down precipitously. >> that's a gut-wrenching decision to make, the essentially give up hope. that's rough. it's all been rough. thank you very much, matt

tightening the noose around the besieged suitity of bakhmut. don't be surprised if the russians claim they have taken the city in its entirety. that would be a symbolic victory, maybe not strategic, but symbolic for vladimir putin ahead of the one-year anniversary of this war on february 24th. alex, the russians are losing some 800 men every single day. that's according to the ukrainian government. we can't confirm those figures. britain's ministry of defense has looked at them and says the trend does appear accurate, that this is one of the bloodiest periods for the russian military since the earliest days of this war. alex, we just wrapped up an interview with the speaker of ukraine's parliament. he said despite those heavy russian losses ukraine cannot compete in a war of attrition with russia. russia has the numerical advantage. for ukraine to win, they need those advanced nato weapons onto

the battlefield. they have to fight smarter, not harder. the speaker had actually come straight from a meeting with president zelenskyy and ukraine's senior military leadership when we saw him a couple hours ago. take a listen to a little bit of our conversation. >> does president zelenskyy get very involved in the military details, or is he more the big picture? >> no, he's very involved in all, in all parts, in all pictures, in all fronts, the situation is very important that he understands what they're talking about and what we must do to be successful on our ukrainian front. >> reporter: alex, the speaker will be going to the munich security conference soon. he said the big case he'll be making to western policies makers there is ukraine needs fighter aircraft to continue

this war. he's optimistic they'll get them, despite the biden administration saying no, despite germany saying no. he pointed out western allies have said no many times in the past including tanks and they have gotten them. the speaker met nancy pelosi last year and he said he felt a lot of solidarity from the american congress to the ukrainian parliament as they try to keep democracy functioning during wartime. he hasn't had a chance to speak with speaker mccarthy and hopes the phone call will happen soon. he also hopes that the american support will continue under the new house of representatives. >> let me ask you, raf, about the sense of morale on both sides. we recall the russians were at a very, very low point. a couple months ago there was a sense ukraine was holding its own and defeating russia quite extensively on the battlefield.

has that at all turned? >> reporter: i think the morale picture remains the same. the ukrainians are defending their homes, their continue, their families. they feel this is a war for survival, and they are absolutely committed. they are heartened by the support they're getting from the west even if they say it is not coming fast enough. when we talk about russia having the advantage in numbers, it is purely in bodies. vladimir putin has mobilized hundreds of thousands of conscripts over the last couple months. these are not necessarily people who want to be fighting in eastern ukraine in the depths of winter. british military intelligence says many of them are very poorly trained, very poorly equipped. there's a real lack of coordination in general among the russian units on the eastern front in terms of aircraft supporting infantry, supporting artillery, but they do have the

numbers, alex. their hope is that they can just grind the ukrainians down. the ukrainians hope if they can just hold the line, they'll get those western battle tanks, eventually western aircraft onto the battlefield and they may prove decisive. >> raf sanchez, thank you very much. back at home we're watching the double murder trial of disbarred lawyer alex murdaugh as the prosecutors's case enters a fourth week. jurors heard from the former housekeeper about what she saw on the day his wife and son were killed. vaughn hillyard is joining me in the studio with what's been happening inside that courtroom this morning. also joining me is glenn kirschner, former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal anti lift. welcome to you both. vaughn, who else have we heard from this morning? >> the biggest development in the last half hour, the judge went before the prosecution and defense said two jurors over the

weekend tested positive for covid. those two jurors have now been excused. both the defense and the prosecution urged the judge to suspend the trial for at least a couple days. why? because the alternates are now going to be sitting with the jury, meaning just three are left. the concern is were any other jurors potentially exposed. the last thing either side wants is a miss striel in the murdaugh murder trial unfolding three weeks in. so far we've heard from two of the south carolina, the enforcement division agents who responded that night of the actual murder here, but there's a lot of questions entering this fourth week. >> with regard to the alternates, they are listening the whole time as well, correct? >> correct. >> are they right in the courtroom, or in an ancillary room? >> they're all part of the jury here. the big concern is did the two jurors rors who tested positive

exposed the others. >> glenn, to you now with prosecutors hoping to wrap up their case later this week. after nearly four weeks they've been focused on the kpriem scene and murdaugh's alleged financial crimes. do you they they've built up enough of a case outside the circumstantial evidence that's been presented against murdaugh? >> alex, as you say, this is largely a circumstantial evidence case. there are no direct eyewitnesss, for example, who witnessed the murders and can identify alex murdaugh as the perpetrator. there is significant circumstantial evidence case. you referenced the murdaugh housekeeper. she testified shortly before the murders she saw alex murdaugh wearing a particular set of clothing and after the murders she never saw him wear any of that clothing again. in isolation that might not

sound all that important or all that incriminaincriminating. if we think back a couple weeks, there was testimony that alex murdaugh said he came upon the bodies of his wife and his son, they were covered and blood. he went to their assistance, he checked their pulse. i believe he even told the police officers he turned one of the bodies over, and yet he had no blood on his hands, on his clothing and he couldn't explain that. when you feather those two pieces of circumstantial evidence together, what conclusion do you cop to? perhaps he did have blood on him, not from moving oren derg aid to the people he's alleged to have just killed but because he killed them, yet the housekeeper said she never saw him wearing those clothes again. that's one instance of circumstantial evidence. over the course of the past four weeks, so many instances of incriminating circumstantial evidence that it feels like the prosecutors are building a

strong case. >> so with regard to what you're sensing there, building a strong case, we know they got a big win, glenn, when the judge allowed the jury to hear evidence about his financial crimes, put that in as some sort of a motive to the killings, paint him as someone who allegedly killed his wife and son to cover up stealing millions of dollars. how important is this? how strong do you think this is in their case against him? >> boy, their evidence of motive is strong. it's important to note that motive is typically not one of the elements of a crime that prosecutors have to prove unless it is a hate crime, which this is not. when the jury hears things like murdaugh was allegedly defrauding his clients out of a total of $8.5 million and all these financial crimes were about to come home to roost and collapse on him, which is the prosecution's theory about why he, in sfart, did these things, to try to portray himself as a

victim. members of his family were just killed. when you also hear that three months after these murders he hired a mitt man to kill him in a financial fraud scheme because he wanted a $10 million insurance policy to go to one of his other surviving sons. so much evidence of financial motive all of which, fright frankly, does not paint a very flattering picture of alex murdaugh. >> i'll tell you, the whole thing is just bizarre, trying to put it all together. we'll leave that to the prosecutors and defense attorneys and the both of you, vaughn hillyard and glenn kirchner, thank you so much. meantime, new mexico state has indefinitely canceled the entire men's basketball see san after allegations of three players hazing a teammate, allegations that included false imprisonment, harassment and criminal sexual contact. that incident came months after the december suspension of

now resigned, the district anti-bullying policies are coming under review as other incidents are surfacing. this isn't the only incident here as we've been told by our emily eye keyed da. this tragic loss of a 14-year-old teenager has put a spotlight of violence and bullying at this school district. what are you learning? >> such a tragic story that struck a cord not only in just this new jersey community since adriana kuch's tragic death, we learned they'll be conducting an independent assessment of the school district's anti-bullying policies. they're also going to be looking at some of the current bullying allegations, but also previous ones. growing outrage coming as additional other incidents of bullying on video come to surface. >> reporter: this morning, backlash is building since a

14-year-old in new jersey took her life just two days after classmates attacked her in the school hallway. the brutal beatdown caught on video obtained by wnbc. the four teens involved now facing criminal charges, and the central regional school district superintendent handing in his resignation this weekend. board members grew concerned about recent comments he made to reporters about adriana kuch's home life and behavior. before stepping down, he pinned part of the recent violence on the pandemic. >> they've seen things at home, there's been domestic violence, things they shouldn't have been privy to. but unfortunately with covid they were. >> now the district is evaluating all current and past allegations of bullying as more incidents of violence at the school come to life. >> when you learned of adriana's

death, what was your reaction. former teacher worked at central regional for two decades. >> i've broken up three fights before home room even started. there were days when it was that crazy. >> reporter: attorneys claim olivia transferred out after being attacked last year. he said social media makes matters worse. >> the humiliation of not only being assaulted in front of your peers in school, but can you imagine the humiliation when you know being viewed by thousands and thousands of people across the country. >> reporter: adriana kuch was laid to rest this weekend, leaving behind a grieving and outraged family. >> i want to hold the school accountable. they have done nothing but proven their incompetence. >> suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people according to the cdc and has grown increasingly prevalent in recent years, up 4% in 2021, 7%

in 2021 for people between the ages of 15-24 years old. >> which begs unfortunately the kind of information we want to give viewers right now, as i think you emilie for this story. if you or someone you know is in crisis, you can get help. this can happen calling at any hour the suicide and crisis hot light at 988 or you can text home to 741741 to connect with a volunteer crisis counselor. developing news out of georgia, three sections of the fulton county special grand jury report investigating potential election interference in the 2020 election, it will be made public this thursday. that is after a judge's ruling to do so. the portions will include the a section in which jurors expressed concern that some witnesses may have lied under

oath. however, those witnesses are not identified according to the judge. i want to bring back glenn kirschner to talk about this. notable it will happen on thursday. but first question, why do you think that section of witnesses lying under oath, glenn, would be released? >> unless the judge tells us why he's decided to release that, we're left to speculate, alex. here is one of the reasons the judge may have made this sort of -- this partial ruling about what to do with this report. it feels like the american people have waited forever for accountability to come for, among other things, what sound to be the georgia state election crimes of election crimes, just find me 11,780 votes, was the infamous ask he made of secretary of state brad raffensperger. we know there were witnesses who did not want to testify in front of the georgia state grand jury, rudy giuliani, mike flynn, lindsey graham and others.

in fact, they fought tooth and nail in court to prevent having to appear before the georgia state grand jury and testify about donald trump's alleged crimes. now we hear that some of these witnesses, i'm not saying it's the ones i just named, we don't know, but some of these witnesses who were compelled to testify apparently have lied. what does that tell us? it tells us it's not just the district attorney doing her job in a timely manner. it tells us there are being roadblocks being put up by witnesses who are going into the grand jury, take a oath to tell the truth and apparently are lying ab what they know which, i would add, could constitute additional crimes for those witnesses like perjury, obstruction and accessory after the is an important piece of information for the judge to disclose to the american people so it puts in context some of the challenges the prosecutors are facing addressing the crimes of donald trump. >> wow.

the plot thickens in fulton county, that is for sure. thank you so much. we expect more information to be released on thursday. meantime, up next, hail to those guys, the chiefs, how kansas city fans are celebrating after that late game comeback from the chiefs and mvp quarterback patrick mahomes for that dramatic super bowl win. >> when you got mahomes, you never worry, all right? he is the man. moderate-to-severe eczema. it doesn't care if you have a date, a day off,
