>> hey, everybody.

it's good to see you. i'm yasmin dissident. we have a lot to get to this hour. new today, according to nbc news, china is considering -- what impact could this have on the ground in ukraine? what does this mean for peace talks with china proposing to mediate days ago? i will speak with one american on how his life has changed this past year after reporting from the war zone and helping ukrainians escape the deadly violence. new reporting on the origins of covid and the briefing lawmakers received from odni. plus, the medical breakthrough which could help tens of millions of americans survive not just covid but the common flu as well. we are also monitoring a mission happening in outer space. we will explain why it is now being dubbed as a lifeboat rescue. in our next hour, i'm going to go one-on-one with former trump impeachment manager in january

6th committee member so lofgren with her thoughts on a speaker mccarthy handing those january 6th tapes to fox news, 40,000 hours of that, and the doj subpoena both ivanka trump and her husband jarred as well. we want to begin with that new report about china. considering sending artillery and ammunition to russia. that's according to three u.s. officials telling nbc news. the news is coming after beijing put forward a 12 point peace plan on friday, the one year anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. monika alba is on this for us from the white house. talk us through this, monica. how is the administration responding? >> i think the key word there is considering, yasmin. china right now is considering potentially providing what is known as lethal aid to russia in its invasion of ukraine. we're talking about things like

weaponry, ammunition, artillery. there is a potential question about whether that could include something like drones which lawmakers or asked about on the sunday shows. it's unclear what kind of things would be included. it hasn't happened yet. it's something that china simply could be preparing for. we understand that this is intelligence. it's something where u.s. officials saw a troubling pattern emerging pointing to the possibility but even the president of united states when he was asked about this on friday said everything shows that so far china has not taken that additional step. we do know that china was providing more lethal aid to russia. this would be a very significant escalation in the words of national security adviser jake sullivan who also do the rounds this morning. >> we have not seen china yet provide military equipment to russia for purposes of fighting

in the war in ukraine. we have not seen it yet. we're continuing to watch. we will stay vigilant as president biden said. so far, we haven't seen. >> of course, this is significant. it's something that even the secretary of state says there seems to be a public posture from china where they are trying to present a peace plan where that is their ultimate goal with the war but then on the other hand you have these considerations which really would be tantamount to crossing some kind of a red line which will be met with grave consequences in the words of some very senior administration officials if it's something that china indeed does do when it comes to the major war as it enters the second year. >> certainly going to continue to watch this incredibly closely. monica alba for us, thank you. the one year mark of the war came without the major russian offensive. that was feared ukrainian say international support is. still critical. my colleague ali velshi has been in ukraine all week. colleague a li velshi ha been in ukraingive us the latese

capital city. >> the date marking the anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine has passed. it was february 23rd in the united states, february 24th here in ukraine. not much has happened or changed in the last days. this was expected to have been a week in which russia assertive its strength. there were talks about a russian offensive involving hundreds of thousands of troops or missile and rocket attacks across the country. not much has happened. that's because the beginning of the week started off with a surprise visit from joe biden to visit vladimir putin right here on the square in kyiv. that set off a number of activities throughout the course of the week which became much more of a celebration of nato's resolve and strength in backing ukraine than it is of russia's involvement in the country. the biggest thing vladimir putin did it last week was announced that his country is suspending russia's participation in the new start treaty which is the last remaining treaty remaining

between the united states and russia. russia is not really abiding by that treaty anyway. that threat to not amount anything. there is concern that russia has a lot more gas in the tank despite the discussions about how depleted russia seems and how unable it seems to do things. take the town of bakhmut in the contested areas of eastern ukraine. it is expected that that will continue to go on. while this week did not turn into the week of the great russian offensive in ukraine, there are fears in this country that that might still happen. ukrainians are asking the west to continue their support of ukraine and particularly -- that's for f-16 fighter jets and long-range aisles. however, in the last year, past as prologue has told us that what the ukrainians ask for an are refused sometimes does in fact come to pass.

back to you. >> ali velshi for us, thank you. coming up later on in the hour, i'm glad to be joined by someone who shared crucial on the ground reporting in ukraine for months after the war began. i'm gonna speak to terrell's remain star, a nonresident senior fellow in the atlantic council eurasia center about how ukraine in this residence have changed and where he thinks things are headed. let's come back if we can now to the united states. for speaking about east palestine, ohio. officials have put a pause on the shipment of contaminated waste from the site of the freight train derailment and concerns -- amidst concerns, i should say, about the risk of further harm from the toxic waste. i want to bring in brooke soliz who isn't east palestine saying by for us. give us if you will the latest on the ground. >> yeah, yasmin. as you know, cleanup is continuing at the site. that's been an ongoing process.

the big headline, as you know, the ep announced they were going to ask that norfolk southern stop moving shipments to areas around the country. some areas in texas and michigan, officials said they felt blindsided by some of the contaminated water that was coming. going forward, they are saying they want a comprehensive list of anywhere, any place that some of the stuff is going to so they can vet it further and basically sign off on it. that really brings into consideration some of the concerns of the residents have and officials in their states who are saying, well, what about the stuff that's here? how are we supposed to treat it? who told us about this? there are more questions as we are moving forward with the beach. officials have a sort of become responsible. it's sort of a political football. former president donald trump visited the site. you had environmental activists talking to residents about

litigation and next. epsilon of residents feel like they are caught in the middle. what a lot of them want to know is when the town is going to be fully operational to their standards. when can we not worry about in the air or the water five or ten years down the road? just this past week, you also have transportation secretary pete buttigieg visiting the derailment site. he spoke with a simone. want to take a listen to what he said about things moving forward? >> our department comes in as transportation policy making sure that in this moment with so much focus on what happened with this derailment that we are acting both the whole norfolk southern accountable and to make sure that we do more to prevent all derailments. we're calling on congress to make common sense steps like increasing the cap on the fines that we can use to hold railroads accountable for safety violations, making sure we have a freer hand for imposing the right kind of

safety promoting rules. >> a lot of residents i talked to say they're all for policy, change, but they really just need to know about the accountability. one thing i want to note here that we have been seeing on the ground is that level of distrust, what officials have been saying about in the water. everywhere you go around this town, there are free bottle giveaways, bottle water going out to residents. people are donating this as fast as it is going out. behind me, you might be able to see that. we no further down the road at several churches they're just giving away lots of this water. a lot of people are saying they are using this for cooking, bathing, pets. three weeks out, that's where things stand on the ground. there still a level of distrust and skepticism. >> people understandably are scared and nervous amidst the fallout from that train your element. george soliz, thank you. we have new information about five people killed when a

medical plane crash near reno, nevada. those on board included a medical patient a family member, a nurse and, a paramedic, along with the pilot. we now know that the area near the crash out was under a winter storm warning on friday night with parts of the region getting several inches of snow. authorities haven't determined what caused the plane to go down an investigation is currently underway. good news for astronauts aboard the international space station who now have a new way home -- the russian spacecraft soyuz safely docked on the iss last night. it will serve as the new ride home for nasa astronaut frank rubio into russian cosmonauts as well. this comes after the original space capsule sprung a leak in december and lost all of its coolant. still ahead, everyone, at covid era food stamp benefits and this week. millions of americans will not have the funds to feed themselves. i'm going to speak and ceo of hunger free oklahoma about how this is going to impact his state. plus, breaking news about a classified report on the origin

learning about the possible origins of covid after lawmakers were briefed by the office of the director of national intelligence. julie tsirkin is following this from capitol hill. walk us through this. this broke early this morning. i believe the wall street journal had some reporting on it. what are we learning about this? >> yeah, yasmin. our reporting slowly differs from the wall street journal in that there has been no official conclusion drawn by u.s. intelligence officials into the origins of covid. however, i have learned from two sources that members on the house and senate intelligence committee several weeks ago were briefed by intelligence

officials on a classified report with new intelligence that has led to the department of energy to update their assessment on to the possible origins of covid with low confidence that coronavirus likely originated in a chinese laboratory as a result of an accidental leak. to be clear, this intelligence has not led other agencies to update their findings in a similar manner. the department of energy providing a statement to nbc news saying, quote, the department of energy continues to support the careful and objective work of our intelligence professionals. we also heard from national security adviser jake sullivan today speaking on cnn where he declined to confirm this new intelligence and this new report, simply stating that in the presidents direction he will continue to investigate this issue and the origins of the league. i know that this issue became

very political. there's a whole committee in the house led by republicans looking into the origins. there is mistrust between republicans here on capitol hill and administration as they look into the origins of the coronavirus. a spokesperson for the house oversight committee told me that they have received classified information and a response to a february 13th letter that they sent to the department of intelligence and that they are reviewing this information carefully. bottom line, this new information according to a classified briefing that happened on capitol hill nearly a month ago has led the department of energy and the department of energy alone to update their findings with low confidence that this might have originated due to a laboratory leaf in china. >> this is certainly not something that intelligence agencies nor the government got confirmation on from china themselves despite the numerous

investigations into it. julie tsirkin, we thank you. in the meantime, the fda has approved the first at home test for both covid and the flu. it's the same nasal swab style test that we have become accustomed to. it can detect both viruses. according to the fda, the test is over 90% accurate in detecting positive cases of the flu. on march 1st, a federal food assistance program known as snap a set to expire in 32 states. the snap for grandma was launched at the onset of the pandemic in 2020 and it made a major difference in the lives of the over 40 million americans who rely on the assistance to provide for their families especially during a time of record high inflation. residents in oklahoma are bracing for these upcoming challenges. joining me now is chris bernard, president ceo of hungary oklahoma. thank you for joining us on this. when you're looking at snap benefits, that's an increase on

average of $95 a month for most recipients. folks in your state, in the state of oklahoma, if we're looking specifically at disabled individuals, how is this going to affect them? >> it's going to be huge. for seniors and disabled in particular, they tend to normally be on the low end of the snap benefits. they could go from 280 a month or a little more all the way down to $23 a month. it's not just going to affect them, it's $55 million per month coming into our state to help people afford the food they need. that does not just impact individuals and families which will be huge. they will be making very hard decisions, some skipping meals to afford medication. you know, more visits to pantries. it will also impact our local grocers, particularly those who are serving low income

communities. they're going to see a loss in revenue which might mean lost jobs or cut hours for their employees. the ripple effect is going to be pretty significant. >> i'm wondering if there is a way for the government and the steps benefits to account for inflation. you're looking at a huge increase in the last three years. for a family of four, $654 is the cost of feeding them back in 2020, right? 2023, january 2023, $970. that's all obviously because of where we are at with inflation in this country. is there a way or should they have accounted for possible inflation amidst the covid pandemic? >> they are just snap benefits based on inflation overtime. the biden administration deserves credit for doing that fairly recently. the fact is, our benefit program has never fully

reflected the reality of what families deal with. and a quick benefits were not adequate before we increased them. they were our talking to be adequate when they and. we need a real conversation in congress. we need to have a discussion about increasing benefits. there are also increasing access to those who might not be eligible now but really should be. we have a story that we are looking at. we understand that we have individuals who call our hotline. we monitor social media. there was a mom who said she had just become ineligible for snap. she's $32 over the threshold. the benefit for $36,000 is not huge. she had to make the decision between feeding her kids and paying her now increased rent. she made the decision to feed her kids and now she doesn't

have a home. we are talking about a lot more decisions like that coming. we need to do something long term. short term, we should have stepped these benefits down overtime to give families time to brace. when this was designed, some of us advocated for that. in the end, it did not happen. that is -- >> so, here's what i wonder. are you hearing from folks, especially the elderly and the disabled, that they know this expiration is coming? what often happens with this is they're not even aware this is about to happen. that jackson-lee does not show up. they are not able to afford the things that they have been regularly buying. >> the ones we hear from are the ones who knew. i think that's the challenge. we hear a lot of outreach. we arrived at the snap outreach plan for our state. we pushed all of our partners to engage people on snap. information on disabled and

elderly about this coming, about what they can do to try to make sure their information is up to date so they get their maximum benefit to make sure they are accessing other benefits that they might be eligible for, for instance, if your family with a kid under five, you should be on week to help you stretch that legit. make sure you are leveraging all these various assistance programs. in the end, none of those are adequate for the inflation. one of our major urban areas, a family of four who makes around $36, 000, that's a father working for nearly double minimum wage full-time and a mother working part-time. if we look at average ranked cost, what's now given, at sara, in their budget, they only have $800 for transportation, medical costs, clothing, everything else. everything is taken up by utilities, food, and housing. >> it's not sustainable. chris bernard, we thank you.

really good conversation. coming up next, a look at the possible timing of indictments in the georgia grand jury case that the fourth person said might include former president donald trump. might include former president donald trump this man needs updated covid protection. so does she. yup, these guys too. because covid is still out there, and so are you. and if your last vaccine was before september 2022, you're out there with fading protection. but an updated vaccine restores your protection. so you can keep doing you. get an updated covid vaccine and stay out there, safely.

president himself. where do you stand on this? what are you thinking? >> it's hard to know exactly. based on the foreperson statement when asked specifically whether the there were a dozen indictments -- it included former president donald trump. she said that it will not be a shock and it is not rocket science. from that, i draw the conclusion that it's highly likely that donald trump himself will be charged among the more than a dozen individuals she has identified will be indicted if it's a. recommendation. it's possible that -- that seems unlikely when they are socked into the same standard. >> what do you think has taken fani willis so long? we've been talking about this for two months. it was imminently months ago. there are still no answers. >> there is imminent in humans began a and prosecutor speak.

allow me to translate. the way the grand jury works here is a regular grand jury can't be in panels until march. that will be in panel. i don't know what dates specifically, but march 1st is coming back up. i mentioned a fairly soon it will be empaneled. i don't think it will take as long for the regular grand jury to make a decision as the special work. they work for something like -- what happens when you republish to a new jury as you can typically use a summary witness like an investigator to just recap the highlights, make the transcripts available in case any members of the grand jury want to read the verbatim words for themselves, but i would imagine in a few different grand jury sessions there will be all the evidence proposed to get votes. i think that by the end of march we might reach that moment of imminence. >> i want to talk about this for person for a moment.

i want to talk about the interview she gave. i want to play for you some of what she had to say especially in light of the fact we're learning that the former president's legal team might in fact take action. let's listen. >> my coolest moment was shaking rudy giuliani's hand. that was really cool for me. i made a point of some of them being like way, before we go back to this, can i shake your hand? it's an honor to meet the guy. i kind of wanted to subpoena the phone president because i got to swear everybody in. i thought it would be really cool to get 60 seconds with president trump of me looking at him and being like, do you solemnly swear? i just, i kind of just thought that would be an awesome moment. >> i kind of cringe listening to that. i do because, i mean, does trump's team have a case here if you have the foreperson of the gregory saying, i kind of wanted to see him get

subpoenaed just so i could shake his hand and have 60s arkansas with the former president of the united states? >> as a former prosecutor, this makes my hair stand on and. where i practice in federal court, nothing came out of the grand jury. they were sworn to keep all matters occurring before the grand jury secret. in georgia, the law is a little more lax. it prevents disclosure of their deliberations. this grand jury seems to have abided by the letter of the rule, maybe not the spirit of it. i don't want to falter too much. she seemed like she was someone who showed up and it her duty and work to follow the letter of the order that the judge gave her. i do have some concerns about that. i think that any harm from her disclosures is probably cured by the fact that there is this unusual structure in georgia where this was just a recommending grand jury and now a separate grand jury is going to have to make the independent decision as to whether the issue indictment. i think that will remove a real legal staying.

she has created an unnecessary potential issue for trump and there are certain some issues for war dearly they're selecting a jury. they're going to have to ask if they've heard any of this and were tainted by it. more than anything, political talking points for the former president -- we know this is all a witch hunt. i will point out that what she said about giuliani and trump were positive things. she was excited to meet them. >> excited to meet them and starstruck by them but also wanting the former president to get indicted. it doesn't even really add up to me. >> the facts cannot be an artifact. >> it might be another reason in which members of the grand jury might not be able to give interviews like this one. as always, we thank you. tonight, msnbc presents the second episode of when truth is not truth, through giuliani's story, a four part series from

home. andrew peters was only 20 years old. from the very start of russia's invasion, we turn to a number of experts to help give our viewers a closer look at what was happening on the ground in ukraine. terrell jermaine starr was one of those experts. he was on our air almost exactly one year ago. >> i just want people to see the effects of the war. we're not clear about exactly what happens. people were in these buildings when it was hit. you have these people here who are cleaning out their apartment and we don't know the number of fatalities. we don't know the number of people injured. this building was definitely hit hard. >> terrell jermaine starr joins me now, nonresident senior fellow at the eurasia center. thank you for joining us. as you look at that clip, what

goes through your mind? >> i think about the fact that i am really fortunate that none of my personal friends or colleagues were killed. i'm also thinking about the fact that a year ago a lot of people in the west like that, ukraine thought it would fall under three days. we're having a very different conversation this year. we're dealing with how long western aid will continue to continue to go into ukraine with a different practice in the republican party. we're also thinking about the number of refugees, a number of 8 million who fled ukraine. i helped to evacuate a number of them into eastern european countries. the main takeaway is really paying tribute to the people who continue to fight against russian aggression and more so about the work that has to be done with ukrainians who have been a displaced and ukrainians who are currently living near the war zone --

[inaudible] other places in the south. >> terrell, with the ukrainians you spent time with over the last year, folks you have helped leave ukraine as well, people you have stayed in contact with, where are they? how are they doing amidst all of this? >> different levels. the one person that i helped out, she had cancer. she went to lithuania. she's back in kyiv. she returned from lithuania after about four or five months of treatment. her cancer is in remission. there is a family, a mother with twins. i helped her go to a border. she's working in london right now. fortunately, her job was able to transfer her job to london. she is doing fine there. someone's grandmother was -- she is now in germany.

some of the people who are in poland who are having a very difficult time to the point where they cannot sustain themselves, they have to find themselves going back to ukraine. this war, there are a lot of people who have gone to these countries and they are being hosted and welcomed. psychologically, emotionally, financially, they can't hold up. many of them are going back to ukraine. >> i want to read for you something you wrote for foreign policy gustier ago or so. it was titled why progressives should help defend ukraine. you go on to say this -- in the west's efforts to overcorrect for the united states is past foreign policy failures, we cannot forget the plight of ukrainians or buy into russia's own imperialist myths. as we look at the foreign aid ukraine has gotten over the last year from the west, have they followed your advice? >> i'm happy you asked that

question. there are a number of progressive groups that i am working with directly. they have very legitimate concerns about the overreach of american military involvement around the world. i think we have to be careful about lumping progressives who have very legitimate concerns about military aid going to ukraine versus those who are -- there are people who have been saying -- i would say generally, yes, those of good faith understand that ukraine is dealing with an imperial, colonial power. it's committing genocide as far as i'm concerned. those are people on twitter who propagate lies and propagate truths. they are just engaged in rage tweeting. generally, most progressives are definitely supporting ukraine. it's only those bad ones that are getting all the press. >> terrell jermaine i starr, we
