good day i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. at what point did we start considering mental illness a crime? the agonizing words from the brother of a man pinned down and killed by police while apparently if the grips of a mental health crisis we have new reporting on the startling frequency of similar encounters with law enforcement and maybe how to stop them plus, another stunning drop in markets with banks stocks leading the way. how low will it go breaking an arrest warrant issued for

russian president vladimir putin we start in virginia where ten people including three hospital employees are now facing charges in the death of a black man in handcuffs and shackles pinned to the ground and suffocated the 28-year-old had been hospitalized for suffering severe mental distress, something his family wasn't addressed by officials who instead they say treated him like a criminal. >> at what point do we stop preserving life. at what point do we consider mental ill rns a crime every single family in america you'redealing with mental illness in your family you shouldn't wake up and feel sick and consider whether or not you should call for help you should have confidence in knowing that the local station the local police, local

government is working to make sure that the care that you receive from the minute they deal with you is at most focused on preserving your life but not ending it. >> in fact, a study done in 2015 showed people with untreated mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed in police encounters than other civilians. they're involved more than 20% of all fatal encounters with police in oregon, a local d.a. is investigating possible criminal charges in a fatal police shooting last month. in new jersey, a man killed by police after he called 911 himself to report a mental health episode in indiana a man was shot one day after sadmitting himself fo a mental health illness.

>> i'm so glad to all of you here what more are we learning about otieno's death >> objectively mental health is at the center of all of this, chris. no matter what side you're looking on here, part of the defense that has been made, we know representation for one of the deputies who has spoken has said there was the consideration that he had a mental health history, that he had a history of being combative with the deputies and the law enfo enforcement. on the other side his family is saying because of history with mental illness why he should have been treated.

march 3rd was when that call came in. police said they originally were addressing what they thought was a burglary in process, from the family they said the call was actually from a neighbor who was calling in because he was gathering solar lights on a neighbor's property, not an intentional act but again he was going through mental health distress and apparently there's cell phone video of that moment. video we know, there's surveillance video from the jail and the hospital none of that has been released to the public quite yet. that could be a possibility some time next week at any rapt, he was taken to one hospital and from that hospital and was taken to an local jail he became combative with those around him they were pleading with the local jail to see her son. she says she was not given

permission to do so. she said she was met with resistance to do so. she was saying as a mother i know he's going through a mental health episode and i know he's in distress. i know everything around him like the sirens is further triggering him throughout that entire process she said that wasn't addressed days later we're seeing what we're doing now, discuss his death. days after that original call taken from the jail to a different hospital, 45 minutes away, that there were multiple deputies that were putting force on him because, again, he was combative. now we have those seven deputies on your screen facing second-degree murder charges yesterday we learned in the middle of the afternoon that lee additional employees not deputies but hospital employees we know they were at least

employees with that hospital at the time of his death have also been charged with second-degree murder a total of ten people facing second-degree murder charges when we talk about the impact of mental health and whether they played a role. according to his family, when you look at the defense that's at the center of all of this. >> so, mark, when you look at the fact that a moret is trying to help her son, the fact that we have people who are calling and addressing the fact, telling the 911 operator we have a mental health issue here and i'm not in any way dismissing the very real situation many police face, someone in a mental health crisis can be dangerous to police just as someone who's nearly violent, isn't there a better way to handle these situations >> most definitely there is a better way to handle these situations a decades-old problem.

these deaths in police custody for individuals suffering mental health crises are absolutely avoidable and they are unnecessary and it's because the current response model for police agencies across the nation is outdated it puts police in a position where they no longer prioritize the preservation of human life because the model, their response is outdated listen, there are large municipalitities across the country now recognizing and realizing that this -- these interactions aren't necessarily a law enforcement interaction, they shouldn't be, they are a call for help. they should involve psychologists, individuals who are trained and skilled to identify and to treat and address these mental health crises but what has happened, you send police in you get policing

and that touch leads to these unfortunate avoidable deaths >> symone, i simply googled i don't know the exact words, it was police, death, mental health, i could not believe the number of things that popped up from today the number of stories in local newspapers from across the country from yesterday into today, you worked in the biden administration, they worked extensively around policing. looking for ways to change but in these cases we're talking about today, symone, specifically, people with mental health issues, is it fair to ask why hasn't more been done sf. >> not only fair, chris, it's absolutely necessary two things can be true at the same time, right, we asked, first and foremost, we ask police officers like teachers in this country to do too much.

we're asking officers to respond to mental health crises, issues whether it's a truant young person, we ask teachers in a classroom to do too much not only teaching they're therapists in some instances in the conversation around how to better affect the justice system in this country, we have often had a conversation about policing and that conversation in my opinion often deinvolves into the fund or defund conversation that's not living in the real world. what can be done from the federal level to one hold police departments accountable but also give them the resources they need resources in terms of budgets for police departments, when some people in communities and

city councils across the country have suggested taking a look at those budgets and diverting funds. some of those funds should be diverted to those who are responding in conjunction with police and when you get on the scene it's the mental health professionals that take the lead -- >> to that point >> i want to ask you about something else this morning, symone i saw a story out of indiana where black faith leaders met with legislators to talk about funding a mental health hotline, they argued not just from a humane point of view but a financial one, look at these numbers. indiana behavioral report, unt untreated mental illness costs indiana $4.2 billion yearly.

establishing a crisis sfons system cost $130.6 annually. >> the problem in this country is, chris, when we specifically have had opportunities to talk about policing and reforms when it comes to police departments across this country, there have been factions who are voices on the left and frankly voices on the right who are not speaking in the reality of this situation. defunding the police department, doing away with police departments is not practical, it's not realistic, okay, i want to be able to call the police in my neighborhood. absolutely, there's financial case to be made. not just for state budgets but you look at city budgets when something goes wrong with a police encounter with a citizen, oftentimes the citizen's family sues and i's the city that has

to pay out that money. very exensive for cities and it's worth taking a look at. police officers should not be -- we're asking our police officers to do too much in doing that people are dying >> yeah, and again to that point, another story in a pennsylvania newspaper today that looks at a story, eerily similar to tnajee seabrooks. there was such an outcry community sends a social worker with the police to answer any call related to mental health issues would most police welcome that >> yeah, absolutely. as a matter of fact, and this addresses something that symone mentioned, on the local level there's some activity in some municipalities looking to address this issues of these

interactions that lead to fatalities that are completely avoidable. in new york, they have behavioral health emergency assistance response division be heard division, which sets up and it has mental health professionals responding to these calls for assistance or intervention as long as there's not some imminent threat of violence or self-harm and if they need assistance to any physical issue they're allowed -- they call them. it's on a local level and it's a pilot program. it's very kind of centralized at this point and they also need a facility that's an alternative that's classic and typical, which is the hospital, taking people to these psych wards and outpatient clinics in these communities. it requires a commitment, it requires of course funding and it requires innovative thinking

out of the box when you deal with police, sometimes there's a resistance to these approaches to responding to people in crises so they have to be pushed and shoved in that direction >> important discussion. symone sanders-townsend, you're going to stay with me. another day of jitters on wall street at the end of a tumultuous week for the markets. fueled by worries on the banking system $30 billion to first republic from 11 different banks in what's meant to be a sign of confidence in banks. a financial lifeline was also thrown to credit suisse $54 billion. crisis averted

the white house released a statement just a short time ago pledging to hold senior bank executives accountable let's bring in brian cheung. a busy week of talking about these things the way "the new york times" described thefirst republic move is, extraordinary effort to stave off financial contagion and reassure the world that the american financial system is stable what's happening today that signals whether or not that's working and is the market an indication of it >> what happened at first republic is the aftershock of the weekend's collapse of those two banks. silicon valley bank and also signature bank since sunday no other banks in the united states have failed. however, there were signs that perhaps first republic could be the next one to go as depositors decided to pull money out. what did the big banks do? we'll put money in the bank as a

sign of confidence 11 banks saying we feel confidence about that. a source tells nbc news that this was actually brokered in part by the treasury secretary yellen she had a meeting with jamie dimon to shore-up these banks after the government stepped in on sunday. shares down almost 70% this week. >> the intense work by jamie dimon is one of fascinating behind the scenes of this. breaking news just hours ago, while the international -- why the international criminal court has issued a arrest warrant for russian president putin chaos across france, protesters rally against raising the retirement age major announcement with huge

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. why not give it a try? now to that breaking news, we learned a short time ago that the international criminal court has issued arrest war rants for russian president vladimir putin and his children's rights for

war crimes reasonable grounds that putin and his commissioner bear responsibility for unlawfully deporting ukrainian children to russia chinese president xi jinping officially announced he'll meet with putin in russia next week joining me now is peter baker. peter, explain the significance of the hague issuing this arrest warrant. what happens next. >> the international criminal court is not have jurisdiction over russia because they're not a party to the court by the way the united states isn't either it's not like they're going to show up at the kremlin one day and say come with us what it does show an extraordinarily powerful statement by the international community is not just a territorial dispute what is happening here is a war crime. the russians in fact are not just invading their sovereign

neighboring country they're taking children, apparently by the thousands according the ukrainians back into russia and putting them through re-education and putting them with russian families. stealing them away from ukrainian families they say they're doing that for humanitarian reasons the criminal court is saying that's not what happening. >> david, what exactly goes into a decision like this how certain would they have to be aboutwhat's happening what do you see as the real world impact of it >> i think, you know, there's serious evidence behind this indictment an incredibly high-stakes move by the international criminal court. as peter mentioned, it's weak in that, russia is not a signatory and the united states as well.

only a limited number of countries where this applies i agree with peter, this is major move politically, this further isolates and ostracizes vladimir putin and russia. it could have a small impact here in the united states. you had a turn this week with governor desantis of florida aligning himself with tucker carlson and saying the united states is essentially sending too much aid to ukraine, president trump has said the same thing -- former president trump. this makes harder for republicans to sort of play down or brush off what's happening in ukraine and it makes harder for them to sort of defend putin as a sort of a normal world leader. he's now an indicted war criminal he won't be arrested again i agree with peter in his on bit wear he'll be listed as an indicted war criminal. >> let's put this in the context of what we're going to be seeing next week, xi's state visit with

putin. xi has been trying to maybe position himself as a mediator in the war give us your read on the importance and what might happen as regards to that visit >> it's important for the reason that david just talked about, the efforts by the biden administration and the europeans to isolate president putin and russia have been an important response to this invasion. president xi isn't buying into that remember, china has not given the weapons russia wants china has taken an ambiguous position standing by russia while not giving them the weapons. but what the administration has been worried that china might get off the sidelines and might start providie ing those weapon. whether xi can play a peacemaker role we'll see.

i don't think the conditions are there between any kind of talks between the russians and the ukrainians president putin, if i don't claim some sort of territory it will be seen as a loss at home the basis for an agreement at this point seems to kind of hard to see a new era where chinese are inserting themselves into world diplomacy. >> i want to add one more thing that xi is also reported to planning a virtual meeting next week with the ukrainian president zelenskyy, we have not confirmed that, but that has been reported. what would be the objective in that meeting >> i think china is moving boldly to sort of portray itself as a leader on the world stage we saw that last week when the chinese brokered an agreement between saudi arabia and iran to

normalize relations after many, many years of tension there. this is another major effort to seize the international mantle of diplomacy from the u.s. xi doesn't have much to lose putin is happy to have a meeting like this. zelenskyy would be very suspicious of any deal china was to offer part of this enormous competition now that's going on between the u.s. and china at this point. i don't see the indictment of causing xi to back off how we live in this divided world. some american officials have said that china is guilty of genocide against the weaker population in china. the chinese government has furiously rejected that charge, so they'll sort of dismiss this indictment as another western effort to undermine a government, russia, that resists the united states. but, again, it's an usual time

in history but you do have these authoritarian governments moving against, you know the u.s. and europe in tandem we'll see how these talks go, but it's bold move by china and president xi >> david, peter, guys, thank you so much. we appreciate you taking the time on friday former president trump pivoting away from his 2016 playbooks as indictments remain imminent the nbc news reporter behind that story joins me next ? whoo, this bed is dreamy. you're kelly clarkson? yes. and you're in our bed? yes. what about five star dining sets? sorry i didn't have a reservation. you're kelly clarkson. i love your work. thank you. find just what you need at wayfair! even a personal sauna. oh! can we do the wayfair song? yes you can. wayfair! ♪ wayfair, you've got just what i need ♪ wow.

you report this strategy is agenda 47, jonathan. what more can you tell us? >> well, in 2020 what yousaw with president trump is a lot of the policies he was rolling out were overshadowed by the things he was talking about from the past, promises made, promises kept, he was asking voters to say thank you, not to say please overshadowed by the pandemic now he's getting out there, staking his place in the ground, putting his platform up an trying to tell voters what his vision is for the future, tso we've seen a whole bunch of policies come out including to establish ten new cities, he wants to break up the department of education, we saw some new words on ukraine in the video yesterday. he's obviously in place that's much less forward on supporting

ukraine against russia he wants to create peace there, create negotiation, opposite the strategy of the biden administration we're hearing a lot of new policies from trump. >> let me put aside, sign moen, whether or not you agree with any of the policy positions, okay, let's look at it from the strategic platform can you look forward and on the past yesterday, on truth social, he went against merrick garland, the justice department, one thing to have a plan that you're going to be foward looking, how do you get him to stick to it? >> i mean, oh, my goodness i'd note all of the people he

went after on truth social yesterday are associated with potential impending indictments in the various cases from the southern district of new york to fulton county, in georgia. look, i think -- i can say this about my assessment of what he's doing, there are republican members of congress specifically who believe that ron desantis needs to be able to demonstrate that he can take a punch and keep on moving and also throw a punch if he's going to be viable even in this lame-duck where he hasn't announced republicans across the country that i've spoken to who believe that president trump needs to show that he still has command over his crowds, these stages, he can still go out there and get people revved up i believe that's what the president believes he's doing with these tirades in these speeches

the question becomes, what happens on these debate stages at the end of august is the first republic first republican primary debate who's in the race so far and how they're going to engage with one another. >> symone sanders-townsend, thank you. jonathan allen, such an interesting read france continue to reel, violent clashes after president macron's move to raise the retirement age so what happens next, not only in france, how the definition of work-life balance is evolving here in the u.s. with floodlight, with intelligent alerts when a person or familiar face is detected. sam. sophie's not here tonight. so you have a home with no worries. brought to you by adt. nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like... just stop. go for a run. go for ten runs. run a marathon. instead, start small with nicorette, which will lead to something big.

we've got breaking news about security preparations getting under way for a possible trump indictment in new york in the coming days. i want to bring in nbc laury jarrett and vaughn hillard what do we know about these security preparation. >> reporter: we've known this investigation into the former

president has reached an advanced stage we've known that for days. we can now report multiple law enforcement agencies both at the state, local, federal level are having discussions about potential security precautions in the e. that there was to be an indictment of the former president. we're not saying that charges have been filed. we're not on pining on what those charges might be the fact that the law enforcement officials are having such discusses are showing you this has reached a significant milestone in the case and the timing is important. other rourting based on five senior officials could happen as soon as next week >> in a case like this, where they know it's high profile, one with security concerns, is

generally an open line of communication between police, between other law enforcement agencies and any d.a., anybody who might be the prosecutor? >> in a typical case, we should mention this is not a typical case, but in a typical case, absolutely, there's an open line of communication the d.a. relies on law enforcement every day to do their job. of course in this case, it's different because we're talking a about the former president of the united states. and again, i want to caution we're not saying he's been charged with anything but of course he has secret service protection, in the event he was charged it opens up a whole issues about how we might handle that preliminary discussions happening at this point. >> four major cases ongoing. what's involved here in new york case. >> the new york case, as we believe it to be, we believe it to center on these hush-money payments that were made before the 2016 election to stormy

daniels that were made by michael cohen, trump's form er attorney where they false business records? if they were can the manhattan district attorney secure an indi indictment in a typical case it's a misdemeanor. a felony it's obviously a whole different ball game, but again, we don't yet know exactly what the charges would be >> let's go to vaughn in mar-a-lago covering team trump trump has been on truth social about stormy daniels he closely follows everything that's said about him particularly on cable news what would we expect, would we expect some sort of reaction from trump himself or team trump to this news >> right, chris, what we've heard from the former president himself is come in the form of

videos posted to his truth social account this morning. in which he has derided the multiple investigations into him including the manhattan district attorney's investigation into these alleged hush-money payments made to stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 campaign we have no report they've been notified of an indictment. it's important we understand the process here we ourselves at nbc news we're trying to get a better understanding of exactly where the district attorney's process is at right now, we in lower manhattan have seen no activity at the grand juryroom, where these witnesses including michael cohen have gone before these 16 to 23 jurors since wednesday afternoon. that's when michael cohen left the meeting with the grand jury after about five hours of testimony over the two days.

we didn't see any activity at that grand juryroom today and yesterday. it means number one, the grand jury could have potentially voted on charges that we're talking about against donald trump. but may not come out in the form of an official indictment. that's where we may be talking about days, it could be weeks, again, there may be no charges here at all. at that point, once the grand jury signed the indictment then the district attorney would inform trump's counsel and this may all come in the form of a sealed indictment here meaning it's private not public. that's where some of these conversations could be existing. we don't know about those conversations. this is an ever-rolling process here to better understand whether the grand jury has completed its investigation or could potentially convene next

week a lot of outstanding questions because the grand jury has secret proceedings we don't have the answers. >> anything could happen a situation, laura, you could say with some certainty, typically this is what would happen. >> typically the d.a. wouldn't have gone this far to pull back. we're still in that phase where we haven't seen the charges filed. we should be careful about the speculation on that. the district attorney's office, secret service, the nypd, everyone has declined to comment. this is based off of our reporting from wnbc who has five sources. a seasoned reporter. i want to make sure we're on the record those agencies have declined to comment. >> we should say that this is something that new york prepares for early and often. again, we've never seen anything like a former president. we don't know if it's going to happen but they prepare for

high-profile cases all the time. security around the courtrooms there's a lot that's evolved in getting ready possibly for something like this. >> they know how to handle it, they're professionals. again, having the person in question be the former president of the united states the complicating factor, making the building is secured, given the defendant and his following i think is a major concern for these law enforcement agencies >> laura and vaughn, thank you we'll continue to follow this story meantime, we're watching the fury in france that has continued today. late pictures out of paris plans for a march on parliament. there you see some of those pictures it all follows overnight clashes between protesters and police across the country we saw as we saw yesterday, last night, fires set in multiple cities the revolt erupted after

president macron pushed through his controversial plan to raise the retirement age without a parliament vote. now mac ron and the government he leads could face a no-confidence vote as early as next week. the debate in france is a conversation we're having here in the u.s., too how does the government balance its obligation to workers with looming insolvency of things here big talk about social security or medicare, who gets to retire? when it's a larger rethink of our relationship to work driven by the pandemic and remote work technology we're going to get into that with a work-life columnist in just a moment. but first, we're following the protests, high drama for a couple of days now ever since macron made this move, emotional as well, what are we seeing and anticipating in terms of a

possible no-confidence vote? >> hey, chris, for weeks now france has been living through a campaign of strikes, roadblocks while tons of rubbish goes uncollected on the streets yesterday afternoon, protesters converged in response to that decision to reject the move they were singing the national anthem waving union flags some protesters clashed with police, riot police were sent out. by night fall yesterday, chris, 120 people had been arrested according to paris police. as of today, smaller pockets of protests, but every indication people in france will keep protesting as this is a heated and passionate issue where a majority of french people don't want to see the retirement age
