safeguards to prevent fraud. but critics say, others don't. how do you see people use technology >> the phishing scams we have all seen but it's going to sound like somebody you know. >> reporter: going forward because you hear it, doesn't mean you should delete it. gadi schwartz, nbc news. that wasn't me >> very cool and creepy. we have a lot to cover in our second hour. let's get right to it. at this hour, high-stakes standoff, russia steps up its assault in eastern ukraine, as volodymyr zelenskyy says the stakes couldn't be higher. president biden getting ready to sign an executive order to increase background checks. relief rally it's been a good day for your

retirement account stocks are posting solid gaines after a new report on inflation and easing worries on the nation's banks just ahead, we talk to a key member of president biden's economic team. our nbc news reporters are covering all of the latest developments that's where we begin with nbc news business and data reporter, brian chung. the new inflation report shows that prices are stubbornly high. we are seeing overall improvement, right >> yeah. if you look at the clearly pace, it shows that prices are 6% higher this time of the year than this time last year that's a slower pace than the 9% that we saw last year. this doesn't mean that prices are going down prices are still going up. albeit at a slower pace. it's encouraging to see that it went from 6.4% in january to 6% in february. what's buoying inflation is shelter costs. the cost of putting a roof over your head. mortgage rates and rental rates

remain high. that's a big reason why the prices remain high we did see some encouraging signs on food prices we saw for the first time in quite a while, egg prices go down encouraging signs for those feeling the pressure at the grocery store. >> brian cheung, thank you for that ukraine is stepping up its offensive in the east. its future is being decided. erin mclaughlin is in kyiv for us again we've been hearing about missile strikes in the eastern front, largely focused on residential areas. what can you tell us >> that'sright, chris. one of those missiles struck the city center of a headquarters of sorts for the ukrainian military in the donbas. it's a city 30 miles away from the city of bakhmut. they've been evacuating

civilians from that war-ravaged area we were there just a few days ago, in a church that had been turned into a center for refugees we were there talking to some of the individuals that had been evacuated. many have already left bakhmut itself the people being evacuated are being evacuated from the outskirts of the city. many of them elderly many of them not wanting to leave home, including this man that we spoke to, who arrived at the center two days ago. take a listen.

>> you can hear the harrowing conditions that civilians are forced to encure one of the interesting things to note about this area of ukraine is prior to this war, it was seen as an area that was more sympathetic to the kremlin i was speaking to a volunteer at the center he says that has changed he said before this war, they loved russia now, they hate russia. >> what those folks have been through, it's unfathomable erin, thank you for your reporting. let's go to monterey park,

california, where the president is signing a new executive order related to guns. what can you tell us about it? >> at the center of what the president is going to be signing today, is an effort to expand and strengthen the background checks system. the president is able to do that by building upon that bipartisan gun compromise he signed into law last year. the president will be directing the attorney general to clarify what it means to be engaged in the business of selling firearms it will expand the number of sellers who fall under the requirements to conduct background checks and close some of the loopholes the president is trying to build on the legislation by better promoting those so-called red flag laws. 19 states and th columb columbia, that allow officials to take away firearms. those laws are effective as utilized the president wants americans to know where and when they can take advantage of that to deal

with safety. what was interesting is what the white house is describing, we've seen the mass shootings become too common in this country we have fema, that comes in and helps support local state governments when we have major events as a hurricane. there's no formulation for communities that experience mass shooting directing across the federal government, an effort to create a similar entity, when you have the tragic shooting in monterey park in addition to signing the executive order, the president will be meeting with some of the victims' families of the 11 individuals who lost their lives. others who were wounded in their shooting biden returning to that ole. he knows well as playing the consoler in chief. >> a raining there day in monterey park. thank you so much. the white house has been focusing on the collapse of three banks in the last week let's bring in deputy director of the national economic

council. appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. a lot of americans are unsettled by this. a lot of them are wondering who messed up here how did this happen? what's your answer >> thanks to the actions that the administration took over the weekend, americans should feel confident that their deposits will be there if you need them thanks to the actions we've taken, we've seen additional stability in the system. as to how we got to this place, i want to emphasize, that the ceo of silicon valley bank, personally lobbied for looser rules on banks like his. and the trump administration listened that played a role in why we're here today we're acting decisively, to protect american small business and american workers and provides stability to the banking system the president says we went back

to fix the rules of the last administration >> how do you do that? you know full well what the makeup of the house is you know the rollbacks that happened to dodd-frank we've been hearing from elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, saying that was the problem here what do you do about it? you probably are not operating under an illusion you will get those back what do you do as an administration >> we're going to take our case to the american people, why we need stronger rules here i heard a lot of commentary over the last few years and at the end of the day, multiple rules were signed by the president that are already helping mentals today. we're going to come forward with steps to protect the american people if republicans have different ideas, they should bring them forward. if they don't want to move in that direction, hopefully the

american people will see which side, which party is in favor of the financial system >> that's a politic al calculation that people can make what the president is doing in monterey park, california. he got as much as he could on guns he is signing another executive order. is that a route you can take what other operations are there, with a republican-controlled house is not an option here? >> there's quite a bit we can do administratively without congress a lot of that is under way, with regulators that the president appointed the last few years, taking their roles and reversing the changes that we saw, during the previous administration. there's more action we can do in that space we're committed to getting that done there's going to be a set of things, most likely, that will require congressional action since we had congressional action during the trump administration, that rolled back the rules in the first place we're going to do both

the president said we're committed to everything we can to reverse the things that were enacted in the previous administration >> speaker mccarthy put out a statement on twitter it says, biden's reckless spending caused record inflation and rapid interest rate hikes that broke family budgets and banks, too we must restore fiscal sanity. what's your response to that does the white house share any of the blame for this? >> if that argument were the case, you would see many banks facing this situation. what you're seeing a and idiosyncratic situation with a handful of banks banks, by the way, and this gets to the reason we're here, the exact category of banks that were deregulated in the previous administration i think the story here at the bottom line is that, a set of banks, in the previous administration, republicans were largely saying, these are not systemically important if something bad happens at one of the banks, it won't spread

more broadly in the financial system we've seen that argument, that core argument was incorrect. we're working hard to fix that, to deal with the implications o that >> can i ask you to stand by we're getting some breaking news on the collapse of silicon valley bank. nbc news has confirmed that the justice department and s.e.c. have launched separate investigations ken delaney is here with the details. what can you tell us >> three sources familiar with the matter telling nbc news, that the d.o.j. has launched the investigation with the northern district of california, taking the lead here. and there's no indication right now, how -- where they are in that investigation it is considered preliminary in was first reported by t"the wall street journal", which was reporting that among the issues that fbi agents and others will take a look at, are stock sales by executives at svb, in advance

of the collapse. obviously, the stock has dropped considerably, as all this has unfolded this is par for the course when something awful like this happens, regulators, prosecutors, the s.e.c., takes a look very significant meaningful for the people involved justice department investigating. >> ken delaney thank you for that how meaningful and important do you think this is and are you confident that combination of investigations will get to the bottom of what happened here? >> i'm not going to comment on reporting of potential investigations like that, that the d.o.j. and s.e.c. are independent and will take steps they they are appropriate under the circumstances. the president made clear that we must have accountability here. we have to get to the bottom of what happened, including the issues that were noted there

we have to get the facts uncovered and take steps to make sure those responsible for putting us in this situation are accountable and we're committed to that. >> thank you so much we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us today this hour, we'll hear from top pentagon officials as we learn that russian jet collided with an american drone over the black sea. we'll have news from that briefing for you live. the fbi just released disturbing new report about hate crimes and the trend is going in the wrong direction. after 20 years without much progress, the new push from capitol hill to wall street, to close the pay gap, as we mark equal payday you're watching "chris jansing reports" on msnbc. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready. and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. your money never stops working for you with merrill, my customer really relies on his car's advanced safety system.

a russian fighter jet colliding with the u.s. drone over international air space in the black sea today, flying in a way the u.s. and european command describe as reckless and unprofessional we just learned that in the last hour this morning, new reporting that russia could be the focus of two war crimes cases, with the international criminal court for the first time since the invasion of ukraine, reportedly preparing to launch probes into war crimes allegations "the new york times" with current knowledge of the situation. the case wouldfocus on targeting of civilian

infrastruck sure and abducting and deporting to children to re-education camps throughout russia joining us, u.s. ambassador to russia, now an msnbc foreign affairs correspondent. how should the u.s. and allies be responding to the acts by russians international waters? > >> it's reckless and irresponsible. that's the initial response. it should be a reminder to the biden administration and the world, why we need to do more to try to end this war. to me, that means providing more weapons to ukraine, more sanctions against russia, to speed the end of this war because the longer it drags on, the more possibility there are for accidents like this, to escalate out of control.

>> the hague says it will seek arrest warrants for several people how do the investigations generally work on the international level? what leads them to this investigation at this point right now? >> that makes russians that are thinking about or asked to do other crimes, to think twice about doing it it has a deterrent effect, even if nobody goes to jail i think the process of convicting, indicting and arresting, and bringing to justice anybody that is involved in these crimes against humanities, that's the phrase that the vice president used a few weeks ago, that i agree with, is unlikely, and will take years, if it ever happens.

starting the process now is important to send a signal to those back inside russia >> there is, as i understand it, no immunity for head of state, correct me if i'm wrong, when you talk about war crimes. what are the chances that vladimir putin gets charged, as you see it >> i think it's probably unlikely i think it's good we're having a discussion russia is committing terrorist acts i'm using that word on purpose not just war crimes. these are terrorist acts against civilians in ukraine the united states should designate russia a state sponsor of terrorism we have a law on our books that does that. that would put in place massive new sanctions against the russian federation by the way, cuba is on that list just so your viewers know.

if cuba is on that list, how can russia not be on that list just starting the conversation, including because mr. putin of course, is the chief decisionmaker, that's a very good signal, especially to those around him, who might not want to go down with him as he continues to commit war crimes inside ukraine >> do you think it could have that kind of impact? >> you want to make people think twice about the crimes they are committing you want oligarchs to think twice about the money they are providing for the war effort anything you can do to put more pressure on mr. putin and the people around him, i think is a good step in the right direction. and that's why i think this is an important investigation to be started now. >> yeah. putting pressure on the whole thing of self-preservation can be a powerful tool, without a county ambassador, always good to have you on a spike in hate crimes in the u.s. and why the new fbi numbers

this is a live look at the pentagon where defense officials are set to speak after a flighter jet collided with a u.s. drone we're monitoring it. law enforcement is reacting with an alarming spike to hate crimes in this country. up nearly 12% between 2020 and 2021, the last full year of data experts say even that may not capture the situation. warning the real figures are likely even higher and the increase cuts across all major categories including racial minorities, religious groups, the gay and lesbian community. attacks against people of asian descent are up more this year. give us a breakdown of the numbers, ken why do officials think they are

underestimating this >> this is a revision of a report in december it was so bad, it didn't include data from new york and los angeles, for example that's a trend in recent years private researchers say it's continued into 2022. about 65% of crimes they documented are motivated by race and ethnicity. 55% are assaults another 40% are acts of intimidation and a small percentage include rapes and murders. it's part of a disturbing trend that officials have been seeing for some time. and the justice department says they are on top of it. they are trying to prosecute the hate crimes and making the public aware of it >> ken, thank you so much. doing double-duty. we appreciate it charles, as he just aid, you

have a new reporting system, that gets us somewhere closer to the number >> there's a number of things that struck me, and one of them, before i get to that, if you look at the racial breakdown, in america. anti-racial hate crimes outnumber other races by literally 1,000% >> look at that. >> they are startling. >> one of the things that jumps out to me, is our entire conversation in discourse is fueled with a level of wittry yol, a level of hate and disdain and discord for one another, in a way, be mindful of what is providing that discord media is where it's happening. we have to be much more direct to call those things out where they are

if you look at the movement to push out actual history, all of this contributes to a disdain and hatred towards one another, which is why the levels are so high >> one example last week, a 24-year-old man in mississippi was sentenced to 42 months in prison he burned a cross in his front yard he was trying to get a black family that moved into the neighborhood to leave. hate crimes are notoriously hard to prosecute in this case, they were able to get a conviction they were able to put this guy into prison. that doesn't happen so often what do we do about it >> we have to look at the transparency around how to construct the laws and making them more attainable and usable for the public we're not going to tolerate this behavior there has to be a level of uniformity that is brought to

them on the state level. you have federal hate crimes that are protected and enforced by the d.o.j each smaller state and municipalities and cities have their own hate crimes that may go further than the federal laws or may not go as far those have to be brought into alignment, as well that's going to impact the statistics and how you interpret the report >> can it be difficult for this reason if someone is burning a cross on their front lawn, there's not a lot of dispute about what's happening. in a lot of cases, whether the motivation was racial, anti-lgbtq the argument is, you can't always know if you can't get into somebody's head and there's not something obvious. so, how do you change those laws is that too complex a question >> it only becomes complex when we start making excuses. just opposing viewpoints you are having a conversation

about blatant anti-blackness you're having a conversation about blatant homophobia, and transphobia. these things have to be called for what they are. it starts at the creation of false equivalency, that allows people to push back and say, we're not anti-trans just protecting our children we're protecting the sanctity of what people want to know these things are where the conversation start and how the policyeak honestly about this, we're going to continue to see these problems >> charles, always great to have you on the program loving the glasses thank you so much. we're getting new information in can we look again? i'm assuming the briefing has not started yet. we are getting new information about the russian fighter jet that collided with the reaper drone over the black sea it landed in crimea. it didn't crash. that was one of the questions we

wanted answers the u.s. assumes that it was damaged in the collision but doesn't know for sure. and now, the briefing is about to get under way do we want to take a listen? let's listen in. >> undersecretary of defense for policy that will provide brief remarks about the pathway announced by president biden yesterday. this is a trilateral commitment plan for australia to provide nuclear-powered submarines note, the doctor will have time for a few questions and must depart i've asked that you please limit your questions to aukus, given that's her focus here today. after a brief pause, i'll stick around to offer non-aukus updates. doctor, over to you, ma'am >> good afternoon. it's great to see you all. yesterday, you heard from president biden on the agreement for australia to acquire a conventionally armed nuclear powered submarine capability

through the australia, united kingdom, united states enhanced partnership or aukus >> we're going to continue to listen in. she's talking about that deal for the submarines but we are waiting to hear more assuming john kirby will talk about the fighter jet that collided with the u.s. drone we'll go to that and listen in when that happens. in the meantime, we're going to take a quick break and be more with "chris jansing reports. in just 12 days. be fearless with olay hyaluronic body wash and body lotion. age is just a number, and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard.

get back to their homes. they've been without shelter and a lot of the necessities they have at their homes. they were evacuated on short notice on friday with that, they say, of many of them, left with the clothes on their backs and their children that means things like medication and cars left behind. right now, they are trying to get to the resources at the county and state says it has there are evacuation centers throughout this region the issue is, for those who don't have transportation, people i have spoken to, say they are unable to get to the shelters where there is food and education and diapers. that's a real situation here officials don't know when they are able to return in the meantime, the county officials are worried that the more rivers will crest and that could lead to more flooding and also more damage to homes. chris? >> >> niala, thank you for that

by men that's nearly unchanged from 2002, when they earned 80 cents on the dollar. the pay gap persists where women make up most of the workforce. take schoolteachers. new research shows in k-12, women make $5,000 less per year than men i want to bring in ally vitale, ju ju julia boorstein. good to have you here. tell us about the paycheck fairness act there's been a push to get this done for a while what's happening now >> it's a new push for an old piece of legislation the people at the heart of this have regularly been murray have on the front lines for legislation like, not just for this, but paid family lead and medical leave. these are the women at the front

of the fight here is no different when you look at what's actually in this bill, a lot of it is sort of obvious, especially when you consider the fact that it would do things like make it easier for employees to just talk without penalization about their salaries i would push employers to prove that the disparities that do exist within their pay ranks are not because of gender, but because of other substantive things between jobs. i think also, when you broaden out the landscape, you and i have talked so much about reflective democracy and reflective governance, having lawmaker ranks that look like the rest of america. not because it makes a pretty picture, but because it impacts the kind of policy that is prioritized and pushed for this is not me saying every female lawmaker in this building is pushing for gender pay equity but it does make it so those who sthee as a problem can lead the charge than if you just had straight white men leading the

charge that's why you see so many of these female lawmakers there -- >> i have to interrupt you we have to go to the pentagon briefing brigadier general pat ryder who is talking about this collision between the russian aircraft and the american drone. >> did you say that this particular reefer was unarmed? >> i didn't say whether it was or was not i'm going to get into the particular mission profile of this aircraft. it was conducting an isr mission. in terms of the specifics, david, i'm not going to at this point get more specific other than the black sea region in international airspace, well clear of any type of -- it was international airspace i'm sorry. the other part of your question? we are going through the declassification process now, and we'll keep you updated in terms of imagery associated with

this incident. >> a very quick one. you haven't seen reaper. is it correct that it's an m 39 reaper >> i'm going to stick with mq 9. thanks joe. >> thanks so much, pat an mq9 potentially contains sensitive technology is the u.s. military make ig any effort to recover the mq-9 is it in the waters of the black sea? has russia recovered it? is there a u.s. naval asset in the region that could undertake that recovery? >> again, i'm not going to get into the specifics of what's on this particular aircraft other than, again, it's an isr platform because of the damage, we were in position to have to

essentially crash it into the black sea. to my knowledge at this point in time the russians have not recovered that aircraft, but again, in terms of our recovery efforts, i don't have any updates at this time >> regarding the north korea submarine launch -- cruise missiles recently. north korea has announced it is possible to mount nuclear warhead on strategic cruise missiles what is the reticence of the united states against escalated provocations such as nuclear provocation by north korea >> let me make sure i understand -- >> so let me bring in nbc news national security and global

affairs reporter dan deluis because they've gone into another topic. the headline we knew, dan, was there had been this collision, and we reported just before this started the russian aircraft did not crash. what more have we learned now? >> well, you heard the pentagon press secretary really repeating a lot of what the european command had said in warning that this was unsafe, unprofessional conduct and it ran the risk of creating kind of a miscalculation, unintended crisis he said that because the pr propeller was damaged when the russian jet collided with the drone, with the mq-9 that the u.s. had to basically crash land it or crash it into the black sea, is how he called it he did not give any update on the recovery efforts it's unclear whether the u.s. will be able to get to it before the russians it's likely, as my colleague courtney kube has been reporting, that the russians

might get there first because it takes time to send u.s. ships through the bath rah strait and get permission from turkey to move through the black sea. >> because we only have 30 seconds left, i want to ask you what an mq-9 is and what it would be doing there >> he said these were routine flights. this is a drone, successor to the earlier predator drones that maybe you've seen in the movies. mq-9 is used for reconnaissance, to look at and watch an area it also has the ability to be armed and to deliver missiles, but he did not say that was the case, didn't give a definitive answer, but seemed to suggest the mission was reconnaissance and surveillance and he said it was in international airspace at all times, and it's not uncommon for the u.s. to fly these kinds of drones and aircraft over the black sea. of course, we also sail u.s.

navy ships in that area on occasion as well his point was the u.s. was operating in international airspace and the russian jet was operating he said in an unprofessional way, dumped fuel on the drone at one point, flew in front of it to the point where it damaged the propeller and they had to sort of emergency land the drone. >> dan deluce i know you'll continue to listen to that briefing if we have more updates, we'll bring them to you in our next hour that's going to do it for us this hour. continue to watch "chris jansing reports" 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc our coverage will continue with "katy tur reports. that's next. ♪ my doc wrote me the script. ♪ ♪ box came by mail. ♪ ♪ showed up on friday. ♪ ♪ i screened with cologuard and did it my way! ♪ cologuard is a one-of-a kind way to screen for colon cancer that's effective and non-invasive.
