they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. >> hey, everybody. why not give it a try?

i'm yasmin vossoughian. if you're just joining us, welcome. it's great to see you. if you are sticking with us, we thank you for that. trying to return to normal after the unimaginable. michigan state university students about to resume classes after a weekend spent mourning three of their friends and classmates gunned down in yet another mass shooting. >> it was just overwhelming. i had the victim's names and faces going through my head, all the trauma, hearing the screams and all of it. we are moving forward, we are not living in fear. we are not just bound the actions of some people, we are one with all the community. >> in a couple minutes, i want to speak to michigan congressman debbie dingell about the tragedy in her home state and what she tells those students demanding action. i'm also going to ask her about that ohio train derailment.

a new one in michigan revealing the danger on the rails. we are also looking into those bombshell revelations showing the biggest stars of fox news in new stolen and action claims were lies but they kept promoting them anyway. we continue our special coverage of this week's first anniversary of the war in ukraine. we will talk to a leader inside the country about how ukraine survives year to. and the story of a mother and daughter who fled the violence to the united states. >> she said, yes, i miss home but i want to live as well. to have a real life. >> coming up, anna, the painful choice she made and the american family that took her in. that conversation is ahead as well. we want to start, though, this hour with the return of students to classroom tomorrow on michigan state university, one week after a gunman shot eight students on campus, killing three. this was the scene last night in ann arbor at a basketball

game between arc rivals michigan and michigan state. joining together in an emotional moment of silence between -- before tip off. nbc's jessi hirsch is at -- jesse, it's good to talk to you. how are we? how is the community doing? this has been a very difficult weekend for them mourning the lives of three of the students that were lost. >> yasmin, that heartbreak has been apparent on campus. we continue see people paying respects at memorials, the spartan statue, spartan being the mascot. i've covered people celebrating graduation there before. it's one of those campus locations many people can remember that spot on their college campus, where they would take symbolic photos for milestone moments. this is one of those somber milestone moments for this community. we had an update from officials here. and they reiterated all classes are resuming tomorrow. that will include the classes

that we are going on and were right there when the gunman shot on this campus last week. i had asked for clarity on that. we spoke to an assistant professor who says he was teaching seven of eight students shot. officials confirmed that account -- but did say at that point they are offering all these classes tomorrow night. there have no updates to the injuries at this point. still four students in critical condition, one in stable condition. the university says it will be paying for all the funerals and the health costs for the students who were injured. here's part of what the interim president said at a press conference a short time ago. >> spartan strong is who we are. spartans cry and spartans hug and spartans hearts are broken. but not our spartan will. and we will grave and we will mend. and today, we reclaim our campus and our lives from the

-- on behalf of our spartan community. today, everybody is a spartan. >> i asked the university police department about any security changes. obviously, there are some things that may not be something they would announce for those security reasons. i asked what they could share with us about changes made. the police department said, broadly, they aren't making any sizeable, tangible changes at this point to the security plan. they feel good about their plan. they say you might see a more noticeable visible police presence in the days ahead on campus. the student president, student body president spoke at a press conference as well and said there are students who are scared but ready to be making change in this community. yesterday, we were at the women's basketball game on campus. we spoke with a few students. they told us they were ready to get back to class. yasmin? >> jesse cursed for us, thank you, jesse. we want to bring in michigan congresswoman debbie dingell for more on this conversation. as always, it's great to talk

to you. let me read for folks that you put out there after the shooting at msu. enough is enough, everybody must come together now and move important legislation to him expand background checks, improve and enforce red flag laws, expand safe storage laws, and improve -- i'm going to bet you have to read something like this, some iteration of this tweet before after other mass shootings. this one particularly different for you, being it happened in your state. nonetheless, how do you get something like this done through a republican-controlled house? >> yasmin, first of all, i used to say thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers don't cut it anymore. i thought when parkland happened five years ago, that the kids would make the difference. here we are five years later and we have not made a difference. michigan will -- there is a commitment there by authority to get background

checks, red flag laws, and state gun storage done. i think it will be done in the next few weeks in the governmental side. i'm going to be with my kids at the university of michigan, where you saw last night a basketball game, a very emotional -- i get emotional about this. we will have a large gathering on wednesday night. i'm going to tell them -- make their voices heard. i don't think they listen to people like me. i've had my own very personal experiences. but we can't stop. we can't stop making our voices heard. we ci will encourage him to como washington to contact their kids at other campuses who are going to keep pushing until the change we have to get gets done. >> why do you get particularly emotional when speaking about this? >> well, i've had my own -- i can talk about what happened in my own life with a father that should not have accessed against until we were talking

about guns and trying to do something with, when we did the sit in on the first floor. i spent a lot of time on the campus of the university of michigan. i talked to those kids. i know that they are scared. i know that their life is not like the one i had. they go to school in their high schools and great schools and are taught what to do if a gunman came into their school. it's not a way to live. people in this country don't feel safe in movie theaters, shopping centers, churches. when i go to church, i have an escape plan. i sit in the back row and we -- that's not the way to lift. when will we say in this country, we've got to do something, and i'm going to tell you something else, it's not just gun laws. it's mental health laws, it's getting people access to mental health. when you know somebody is a danger, which is what red flag laws are supposed to do, being able to do something and being a person that is trying to make the law work and could not work it, i know we have a crisis in

this country. we got to put the human face on it. maybe people like me who think people think nothing could happen to somebody like that, -- the kids putting a human face on it. we can't stop until we get it done. >> it seems as if, congresswoman, and i'm thankful you are being so raw about all this, because it is enraging to see this happening, having covered so many of the shootings throughout the country. we appreciate your honesty amidst all this. it seems as if it's becoming more of a local issue than it can be a national issue right now. there is only so far national legislation can go with a republican run house at the moment. but even when there is a democrat-controlled house, there was only so far legislation would go after uvalde. i want to play for you, if i can, some sound from a state senator, state senate majority leader when he brinks, who i

spoke with yesterday, who has ten bills, i believe, on the docket. she thinks it's going to get past for the state of michigan. let's play what she had to say and then we will talk. >> there is a set of ten bills that would establish universal background checks. we would implement extreme risk protection orders and there is a multitude of other policies we could pursue the future but we are going to start, there they are both incredibly well supported among our constituents. the urgency of this situation has really created an environment where we think we can get those done immediately. >> we know the biden administration had success with gun legislation after uvalde, but a lot of folks don't think it went far enough, even though the biden administration personally wanted to go further. when it comes to making changes happen, having now moved to more of a local level when it comes to legislation? because of the resistance at

the top. >> as i said at the beginning of this, we will get it done in michigan. senator brinks is right that there is a will among the people, some republicans will support it. quite frankly, it is good that we got this very narrow bill done in the congress last year. in the united states senate, quite frankly, we are focused on the kids right now and we need to. but in that fifth circuit appeals court two weeks ago, what they did to domestic violence, of a gutted -- i have a bill that's trying to protect victims of domestic violence. it didn't protect them. they got the -- reintroduced it in a bipartisan way by -- now we are telling victims of domestic abuse in the fifth circuit court area that if they have a protection order, that the person that has threatened them can still have access to a gun. because the second amendment,

when it was written, didn't say that those that had gone after them had had a court process that said they could not have a gun. where is the victim's due process? where is the victims? we are in a point where we need to start talking about who's got the right and how we are going to protect them. >> you're talking about the strengthening protections for domestic violence act of 2023. just to remind folks, this bill would close loopholes in federal laws to allow abusers and suckers to access guns. i want to play for a second, if we can, we've been seeing this story out of ohio with a trainer ailment there. a lot of folks really, scared really worried about their safety and their health, clean drinking water, air quality as well. not just in the coming days but years. i know there was a trained or ailment as well in the state of michigan and then near detroit. you've been in contact with officials on the ground.

i think the overarching 30,000 foot above question is, what needs to be done here to make freight rail travel safer? >> we have to dig into it. the derailment you are talking about is in my district. the epa did not even know the derailment happened when i called them. i was on top of it. thankfully, there was only one car that had hazardous substance in it, chlorine, and it is not directly, did not spill. we have not infested in infrastructure. railroads are part of our infrastructure. the infrastructure bill is addressing the water issues, roads and bridges. in this instance, the train was owned and operated separately from the people that own the tracks. d.o.e. -- d.o.d. and the railroad administration, we have got to have oversight hearings in congress, and not do this in a partisan way. that community in ohio was scared to death. they've got a right to answers.

i haven't had chemical spills in my district in the last two years in my -- we have got to make -- invest in railroad tracks like we are investing in everything else. >> representative debbie dingell, as always, we thank you. we are following some breaking news, everybody, actor and comedian -- died at the age of 78. he was best known for his role as john munch on the original line order spurious and it's been -- he started his career as the warm-up comedian for saturday night live and appeared in films including fame and scar face. sbu star christopher maloney tweeted this picture saying, goodbye, i love you. costar said, how lucky the angels are to have you, i can hear them laughing already. richard belzer died at his home in france. the cause of his death is currently unknown. still ahead, everybody, more special coverage of this week's first anniversary of the war in ukraine. we will take a look at how bad

[speaking non-english] >> celebrations erupted back in november after ukraine reclaimed the city of kherson from russian forces. it was just one of the emotional moments of victory amidst unbearable devastation. also, in the year since russia first invaded ukraine, on february 24th, the battle lines have really continued to shift, as ukrainian forces exceeded expectations. they were often overwhelmed by the massive force of the russian military. one weekend, we are looking at march 6th, one week into the war, with 200,000 russian soldiers were on the ground in ukraine. russia seizes swath of territory along the russian

border. moscow captures the southern city of kherson, along with zaporizhzhia, that includes the largest nuclear plant in europe. the capital city of kyiv remains standing. one month, and we will look at march 21st, russia still unable to reach the capital city. russia attacks a theater in mariupol, killing hundreds. it has not yet captured the city. the russian president, vladimir putin, announced russian forces now withdrawing from kyiv and the surrounding areas, focusing more on the donbas region. six months in, we are looking at august 16th, mariupol falls to russia. ukraine makes significant gains as u.s. rocket launchers and other weapons flow into the country. ukraine then attacks a russian airbase in crimea. kyiv and moscow agreeing to end this blockade of grain in the black sea at this point. now we are here.

one year into this war and russia has subsequently pulled out of kherson. ukraine has taken back large areas after september counteroffensive. russia is failing to control regions it claimed to have annexed. russia has begun a new offensive, a new offensive as we head into this one year mark. the question is, what will happen next? and what will stop vladimir putin from continuing to advance inside ukraine? at the munich security conference, u.s. official lawmakers presented a united front of other countries eight ukraine. i want you to take a listen to that. >> i know the american people feel a sense of moral outrage, and a sense of responsibility for our nation to stand with the ukrainian people around at these atrocities. >> i'm here to tell you, the weapons will continue to flow from the united states.

the economic assistance that ukraine needs to stay in this fight will be there. >> every step along the way, we've said that, fundamentally, these questions about ukraine, about its future, belong to the ukrainians. these are their decisions. we are determined to support them in their efforts to uphold and their territorial integrity, independents, their sovereignty. >> the u.s. committed to helping ukraine no matter how long this war goes on. julia mandel joins me now, the former press secretary for ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. julia, it's good to talk. as we close in on this one year mark, what does victory look like for both you and the ukrainian people? >> thank you for having me. actually, we can make surveys on asking people how they are able to end this war and what will be the victory. ukrainians consider that the most way will be to regain our

territories and return our people back. we have suffered through the years so much, so many people have died. so many people were tortured, so many people lost their homes, millions and millions, the lives of so many people were destroyed. we are still very determined to keep -- stay independent and not depend on russia and keep russia out. a majority of ukrainians consider the most buffet -- to help our country back as it was established by international law back in 1991. >> is that the only thing, iuliia, that ukrainians would accept in a peace deal? >> right now, it is such a vast majority of ukrainians around 90%. it's really hard to pose another question. i know that many politicians and diplomats they productive

different negotiations on -- me to be realistic if we are able to regain, for instance, crimea. definitely, we know that there are concerns that if ukraine tries to gain crimea, probably it will cause more escalation. talking about ukrainian people who suffered so much, it's very difficult to scare us again, you know? it's all for something that would be more devastating, that russia has already done to us. definitely, many experts, including american generals, believe that ukraine can work -- regain crimea that russia annexed in 2014. these negotiations are being conducted. everything we need to do is to be as smart as -- as prepared to the russian offensive and make the counter offensive we are preparing very hard for. ukraine wants to start an offensive in spring. that will be a pivotal moments.

we will see what we will be able to do. believe me, i was talking to the soldiers on the frontline. they are very determined. they believe that every inch of ukrainian land should be returned back. and that's every soldier i talked to. >> nicholas in the new york times spoke with admiral james about the aid the united states has guaranteed to ukraine and how much should come. here's what he. road we are well past the point of trying to measure this, a few systems at a time. this is admiral james. putin is all in and we should be as well. he goes on to essentially say we have to throw the kitchen sink at it. what do you make of this? >> look, no one wants that peace more than ukrainians. ukrainian president already was very confident that we want to have peace this year. again, the aid provided to ukraine's very gradual edmund

and people were looking at how ukraine was maintaining this weaponry, how ukraine was capable to manage the battlefield. now we see that, actually, ukrainian army is very strong. and we adapt fast, we learn fast. we are very motivated on the battlefield, unlike russians. a like we see russians don't have any motivation just to turn -- they say on the ground that they have propaganda. people don't want to -- the corruption became a part of russian identity. they have a very weak army, they don't have enough -- not only weapons, they don't have uniforms or food enough, or water enough. in this way, they have this insane leadership that tries to send as many people as possible to die. but at the same time, this leads only to bloody battles,

this leads to many more deaths. in fact, it will stay united, we will stay determined. we highly defend the western support and western unity. this means, if the west does not have doubts, ukraine will definitely win. ukraine will defeat the most aggressive and most unpredictable autocracy, which is russia right now. because we are fighting here, not for the land, we are fighting for the values that i'm sure every american shares. they are fighting for freedom. we believe freedom is the fundamental value that we can build our society on. ukraine is the biggest territory of freedom on this space near russia. all the countries, look at us. they believed in us. they believe that there will be a moment when they will not need to walk back to russia. >> iuliia mendel, thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> more special coverage of the war in ukraine one year later. ahead, we bring you the story

flipped the votes. how it was designed to flip the votes. >> reporter: days after the election, fox start tucker carlson wrote to his producer, sydney powell is lying. host laura ingraham to carlson and sean hannity. sydney powell is a bit nuts. sorry, but she is. fox is powerful founder and chairman, rupert murdoch, wrote to a top executive, denouncing paddles a voting machine conspiracy theory as really crazy stuff. the behind the scenes mockery also targeted trump lawyer rudy giuliani. >> there's no question about. that their machines can be hacked. >> reporter: fox top rated sean hannity wrote, giuliani is acting like an insane person. while ingram remarked, such an idiot. dominion's lawyers say not a single fox witness testified they believe any of the allegations about dominion are true. while fox responded, there will be a lot of noise and confusion. about the core of this case remains about freedom of the

press and freedom of speech. >> what about freedom of lying? joining me now to discuss, angelo carusone, the president of media matters. i'm going to bet you are not necessarily surprised. i can not tell you how many folks have asked me, as if i know, how many -- whether or not some of the host on fox news actually believe what they are putting out there. now we know the answer from these text messages that they don't. were you surprised at all from these revelations? >> no. i wasn't. the one thing that was surprising was that they wrote so much of it down. if you are going to engage in several months of deception, hundreds of new segments where you are basically manufacturing conspiracy theories, smearing companies, despite the fact of the companies telling you these things are not true and they sue, you will continue to do it, maybe wouldn't write it down. my big takeaway was that it is such a part of their culture that it's a reflex.

there was some casualness to it. it wasn't even weird for them to be talking like this amongst each other. and there is a moment where rupert murdoch tells the president of fox news to help out in georgia to make sure republicans when. that is their last hand. there is no engagement like, hey, that's an unusual thing for me to tell me that we should be working for republicans all of a sudden. it seems like we got a keyhole view of what fox news is like on the inside. it's basically everything we all kind of thought. >> here's what fox news is saying. we put up some of there statement from kelly o'donnell's piece. they also say that they stand by their 2020 election coverage and that its broadcasts are protected by the first amendment. what do you make of that, angelo? >> i find this a very interesting argument for a few reasons. number one, sure, they are protected by the first amendment. but we all know that defamation is not protected. that's not protected. that's why there are standards. in this case, it isn't a very, very high threshold to engage

in defamation against the company. but it can be achieved. that is the nature of this. the second thing i find somewhat surprising is that, while all of this is going on and the murdaugh's defense is free speech, and they are simultaneously suing one of the few independent news outlets in australia for writing one article about january 6th that says the murdochs were irresponsible in their news coverage leading up to the insurrection. and that they had a hand in it because they allowed the lies to perpetuate. they are tried to shut down and independent news outlet in australia for writing a news article that connects the dots. at the same time, their defense will be free speech. i hope it's not only legally sound, it's a pretty weak defense when you think about it. it's also stunningly hypocritical given the litigation that lackland murdoch himself initiated in australia. >> i'm sure there is much more to come on. this angelo carusone, we thank you. on a relatedness, by the way, everybody, make sure to tune in

we've mints blank soccer with all morning. they say don't just rush and same things in to try to find organized groups, volunteer aides and send money that way. they are trying, at this point, to not just have an immediate influx of things but have a more organized structured approach to where things go from here. a lot of families here, a lot of mothers, a lot of children. all of them, chris, desperately hoping they can go home and soon. >> a child just being a child with nbc correspondent elsie at the height of the refugee crisis. the impact on these kids and the adults in ukraine, it has been immense, an imaginable. more than 8 million ukrainians have fled their home since the war began a year ago. while some headed to neighboring countries like poland, romania as well, many others made this long journey to here, in the united states. behind all they've ever known.

here's one family story of escape and hope. >> they made it to the u.s. on march 3rd. but more than anything, and yet wants to return home. >> i'm here only because of -- i think if i didn't have -- i would be in ukraine with my husband and my family. >> translator: she >> reporter: she is also seeing things through her young daughter's eyes. >> she said, yes, i am's home but i want to live as well, to have a real life. >> have a real life. joining me now from madison, wisconsin, is anna and her daughter, ukrainian refugees. gary and leslie, and the americans who took them in. welcome to you all, guys. thank you for joining us on this. anna, let me start with you on this one, if i can.

you are a cardiologist in ukraine from what i understand before you left. you and your daughter made it to the u.s. on march 3rd of last year. your husband only came just two weeks ago. you have not been to your home country, nor had you seen him in person for almost a year. what has that been like for you? >> it's too hard. it's impossible to explain it. of course, i miss my husband, my family, my friends, my previous life. >> go ahead. please, go ahead. >> and of course, i want my life back. i want to live my previous life in my country, in my city.

but now it is impossible. >> barbara, what about you? do you miss your friends, do you miss home? >> a little bit. >> a little bit. yeah. gary, leslie, this was quite a feat, taking in anna, her daughter, now her husband as well, amidst this war in ukraine -- you were born in kyiv, your family left the soviet union in 1979. talk to me about the choice union family made that even leslie made to taken anna and her daughter. >> it was a very, very easy choice. there was no hesitation. as soon as we saw that there was a war that was imminent, i was speaking with sacha and anna dailey.

i told them, if you need to come, please come. it was not a hard choice to make. these are our friends, we've been friends for a long time. it was easy to take them into our family. >> go ahead, anna. please. >> we are very thankful for our new family. and of course, for all american people who continue supporting and helping us in ukraine. >> gary, how did you meet anna and her husband, sasha? >> i wasn't even a medical mission in 2002. sasha and i had the same professions. i got to meet him at the hospital he was working at at the time. we've been friends ever since. >> were you on board from the beginning, leslie?

what has it been like knowing you are able to take in both anna and her daughter, and now sasha, her husband, and there is still so many refugees that don't have homes or anywhere to go amidst this war? >> it feels like a little something we can do, never enough. we've had a great time getting to know each other and trying to make the best of the situation. you know, i knew about this type of story from my husband and his parents, they came years ago. i feel like i'm witnessing it firsthand now. running from a country where you are no longer welcome or safe and coming to the u.s.. i met the people that helped my husband and his parents who had become very good family friends. i feel like i am stepping into those shoes, or like i said, we are trying to make the best of it. it never feels like enough. at least we can help our

friends. but we know there is so many, many more people who need this kind of help. >> anna, would you like to go home if you can one day, if the war ends and ukraine is a safe place to be once again? would you like to move home with your daughter and husband? >> first plane. >> first plane. why is that? >> because i miss my home. >> it must be incredibly difficult. i know that you are here under a temporary protected status, on an 18-month stay from your arrival day. you have about six months left. your husband is in a program which allows a two year stay with a u.s. sponsor. what are your plans to extend that? >> i want to find a job. i will try to pass my exam to

be certified and doctor in united states, find residency, maybe start over. my career. >> please, go ahead. >> if there is an opportunity to go back, of course that is something they will consider. but, right now, we don't know how long the war will last. for now, the plan is to make the best of it here. >> that must be really hard for you -- go ahead, leslie. >> having been through medical training, i can't imagine moving to another country and repeating my medical training just to start over again. i can't imagine. >> that's exactly what i was going to say. i've had family members that have had to go through that process as well. as you talked, about having to take the boards, go to your residency once again, you are a cardiologist back at home. that must be such a daunting prospect, anna. >> yeah.

>> yeah, well we wish -- go ahead. >> i'm steadying every, day all day, the past my exams. >> we wish you the best of luck. that is for sure. we need more great cardiologists in this country, as i know all too well. we are so thankful for gary and leslie for housing you. of course, via unification, the reunification you've had with sacha and your husband. barbara, we wish you the best of luck as well in school. >> we are thank you -- thankful for you to keep this in the forefront. because of the tragedy that occurs every day there is unspeakable. we can't stress enough how disastrous it is that the ukrainian people have to relocate and run away, some of them have nothing to go back to.

it's a humanitarian tragedy happening right now. so thank you for keeping that in the front. >> it's an incredibly important story, as we continue to cover. thank you guys all. the best of luck to you. >> thank you. >> still ahead, everybody, amidst the pain of war, the sounds of hope. ♪ ♪ ♪ seat... switch to a king suite- or book a silent retreat. silent retreat? oh! hold up! earn big with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? ♪♪ inner voice (kombucha brewer): if i just stare at these payroll forms... my business' payroll taxes will calculate themselves. right? uhh...nope. intuit quickbooks helps you manage your payroll taxes, cheers! with 100% accurate tax calculations guaranteed. subway keeps upping their game with the subway series. an all-star menu of delicious subs.
