revelations about the gunman who killed eight people at a texas mall, including three young children. the neo-nazi sympathizer appearing to post hateful rants on a social media site and pictures of the mall where he carried out that attack. the victims include a 3-year-old boy and his parents, leaving his 6-year-old brother, the family's sole survivor. a mall security guard who is emotionally remembered by an eyewitness to the shooting. >> he always walked by our store and just -- he would wave to us. if we didn't wave back, he wouldn't go away. we had to wave at him. he was such a loving guy, such a caring guy. >> and in the other texas tragedy, the driver who slammed his car into a group of migrants now facing eight counts of manslaughter. it is a tense time along the border with the covid era restriction known as title 42 set to end on thursday. and in just the last 72 hours alone, there have been more than

26,000 illegal crossings. we have live reports from texas and mexico. plus, this morning, jurors are expected to begin deliberating in e. jean carroll's civil rape and defamation case against former president donald trump. how could his choice not to testify weigh on that panel? and in just a few hours, president biden will host congressional leaders at the white house for high stakes talks on avoiding a historic default. the fate of our nation's debt crisis coming down to the wire with both sides dug in. we begin with the new developments in the investigation into that mass shooting at a texas mall as we are learning more about the lives lost in that horrific attack. joining us from allen, texas, is nbc news correspondent maggie vespa, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian, and former fbi special agent and msnbc national security analyst clint watts. maggie, what more are we learning about the victims and how that community is doing

today? >> reporter: yeah, well, ana, you can tell how the community is doing behind us based on the size of this memorial. you know that's been growing day after day since this shooting here on saturday. i came to this parking lot last night, actually, to see another vigil happening here and there was one security guard guarding the entrance to the parking lot and stopping every car, asking people are you here to pay your respects. it seemed like the driver ahead of me said no, he wasn't, he was trying to pull in for another reason and the security guard said no, you can't come in, this is reserved for grief and the entire mall is just shut down. we're also learning more about the people who are named frankly on those crosses including the cho family, three of those crosses dedicated to three members of the same family including 3-year-old james cho, a 3-year-old boy, the youngest of the eight people killed in this, america's latest mass shooting, killed with his parents cindy and que cho and his brother william who just

turned 6 is the lone surviving member of his family. two other children, by the way, from an entirely separate family also killed. 11-year-old daniela and 8-year-old sofia mendoza. so two families who lost their youngest members perhaps, eight people total killed and we also want to include -- we got an update from the hospitals here this morning, among those wounded, we still have three people in critical condition at a local hospital, two in fair condition, and one patient in good condition at medical city children's hospital. one of the wounded is a child as well. so people here, we see this time and time again, just one more city in america, struggling to make sense of this. ana? >> to think all those children that were shot. ken, you've learned a lot about the shooter as well, including his brief time in the military, disturbing social media posts, what can you tell us?

>> that's right, ana, the military is saying he spent three months in basic training in 2008 and didn't make it through and was discharged for an unspecified mental health issue. but i've been spending a lot of time going through an extensive trail on social media that he left on this russian social media account, which apparently had no content moderation. and what is so tragic about this, it is not that we want to revel in the postings of this maniac essentially, but any law enforcement officer who had a chance to read this last month would have been very concerned. this was essentially a blueprint to his disturbed mental state and a road map to the crime. he posted photos of the weapons, of the receipts for purchasing weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, maps of the shopping mall, the outlet mall and photos and dozens and dozens of angry and disturbed posts, you know, spouting racial hatred, anger toward women and in the end, in the week before the shooting, some, you know, suicidal posts

that made it clear he was going to do something. but, you know, no one was looking at this. it was on a russian social media site, and it is not clear that any law enforcement official had any reason to look at this person and so a huge lost opportunity here, but an opportunity to learn lessons from going through this social media. >> clint, when you hear that the shooter had these online rants against jewish people, women, racial minorities, and that he posted more than two dozen photos of that outlet mall in the weeks before the attack, it sort of resembles other mass shoots motivated by hate. i think of the tops grocery store shooting. what does it tell you? >> it is the kind of individual we thought would pull off something like this. we have seen it repeatedly. we saw it in buffalo, we saw it in el paso. it is part of an ideology that flourishes online, particularly in the places that are unmoderated. i think that's the point that ken was coming to, as extremists have been pushed off many of the mainstream platforms,

particularly those based in the united states have been pushed to french platforms, russian connected platforms, and telegram have become the place where they proliferate, they commiserate, they share discussion spaces and they talk about plotting and planning. to go through all of these leads and try to determine who is an american who is not an american, what is a foreign terrorist threat versus domestic, all those lines melt away. it is an increasing challenge for law enforcement, particularly in a local community like texas, to have any understanding of the extremist threats and the jurisdictions. so it takes strong coordination from local to state to federal, but it also takes a lot of resourcing and investigative work to be out in front of this rather than reacting to it like we are now. >> ken, i want to ask you more about the alarming photos the shooter posted on social media. they included an image of a tactical vest with an rwds tag

which i understand stands for right wing death squad, similar tags seen on members of the proud boys. is this something they adopt for themselves or is this a more sophisticated group? >> it is also a meme. he was marinating in this white supremacist far right extremist culture. but when you look at his social media, you know, it is clear he espoused those views, but what comes out even more strongly is this guy was mentally disturbed and was a loner. he posted many pictures of, for example, with band members and with w friend or a family member. and he was ranting about his horrible relationship with his mother, so, yes, he was a white supremacist neo-nazi, but he obviously -- we know from going back to 2008, if the military discharged him for mental health reasons, was a deeply disturbed individual, somehow going through life, held a job, enough money to buy a gun, but on the brink and nobody intervened and that's the tragedy here.

>> clint, as far as we know, this suspected gunman acted alone, so based on what we know now and the current laws, do you see any point along the way where there could have been some kind of intervention before the shooting, how do we stop this? >> yeah, based on current laws there is two parts to this, right? the frequency of these events and the impact. in terms of frequency, it requires early detection, and not necessarily just online intervention, but in person intervention. this is doing site visits, doing contact sessions with law enforcement or even community groups. by the way, we built all of this in the fight against al qaeda and isis in the homeland, just a decade ago, but we are not implementing it in any way on domestic groups in the u.s. the second part is access to weapons. the impact in the united states is due to the access and proliferation of assault weapons. the reason these are such casualty producing events is because they have military weapons they're going and purchasing and immediately or in some other cases just soon after

using them to target anyone and everyone in any location where there is lots of people. we can do several different things. we can pass laws. all of that requires legislators, particularly congress, to move forward with just basic legislation. a lot of the states they're doing the reverse, they're opening up access to weapons to anybody and everybody and at the same point there are no checks on who has access to this. this individual here obviously, social media posts, his history in the military, probably shouldn't be having a weapon. >> in fact, in texas, they loosened restrictions since. uvalde happened a year ago versus tightening up some of those restrictions on who can have access to certain guns, especially these most lethal ones. thank you very much, clint watts, ken dilanian, maggie vespa, appreciate you all. new developments with the other tragedy in texas, the driver who crashed into a group of migrants with his suv has now

been charged with eight counts of manslaughter. according to police, the 34-year-old man is a local resident with a, quote, extensive rap sheet. they still don't know whether it was an intentional act. joining us from brownsville, texas, is nbc news national correspondent gabe gutierrez. gabe, what more are you learning? >> reporter: good morning. well, that deadly crash has left this community completely stunned and, of course, this all comes as tensions remain high along the southern border as title 42 is set to end later this week. and now we're learning that three of the ten injured migrants have just been released from the hospital. and also it comes as we're hearing from one of the victims for the first time. an emotional vigil for the victims of sunday's horrifying crash as a suspect now faces manslaughter charges for ramming a group of venezuelan migrants outside a shelter. family members in agony as they

learn their loved ones were among the dead. gabrielle, one of the survivors, lost a leg. my dreams are broken, they're gone, he says, from his hospital bed. with his two children, his wife desperate, begging president biden for help. george alvarez is facing eight counts of manslaughter and ten counts of aggravated assault, police believe he lost control of his suv after running a red light, plowing into the group, killing eight people. investigators have not ruled out the crash was intentional. >> george alvarez is a brownsville local with an extensive rap sheet. >> reporter: this man, who says he witnessed the crash, tells us the driver appeared drunk and yelled antiimmigrant profanities, though police have not substantiated that and are still waiting for toxicology results. how is this community doing right now? >> shaken up. i don't think any of us have experienced something like this. >> reporter: the migrant deaths come as tensions ramp up here ahead of the lifting thursday night of the covid border

restriction known as title 42, which is expected to bring yet another migrant influx. in just the past 72 hours, there have been more than 26,000 illegal crossings. arizona's democratic governor is planning to send in more resources. >> we cannot manage this influx alone. without much more robust action from the federal government. >> reporter: bus loads of migrants keep arriving in cities. rockland county declaring a state of emergency, slamming new york city mayor eric adams for planning to send several hundred migrants to hotels there. >> it is a farce. it will not happen on our watch. >> reporter: meanwhile, here in brownsville, the migrants we have spoken to tell us a dramatic story of how they were able to detain the suspect while they waited for police to arrive.

now charged with eight counts of manslaughter, being held on $3.6 million bail and has not yet entered a plea, ana. >> okay, gabe gutierrez reporting from brownsville, texas, thank you. later this hour, we'll travel to the other side of the border. we're also in mexico where thousands of migrants are waiting to cross. and those covid restrictions end 48 hours from now. and jury deliberations getting under way in e. jean carroll's lawsuit against donald trump. how will that panel weigh trump's choice not to testify? also, a high stakes meeting at the white house today between president biden and congressional leaders with no deal in sight to raise the debt ceiling. what options are left if this meeting leads nowhere? and could the fda approve birth control without a prescription?

(cecily) on the network worth bragging about. verizon welcome back. we are just a few hours away now from a high stakes meeting at

the white house. president joe biden will host congressional leaders kevin mccarthy, akeem jeffries, chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell for talks on raising the debt cereal ceiling to avoid a historic default. that meeting is set for 4:00 p.m. eastern. joining us now nbc news white house correspondent monica alba, and nbc news capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles, and former republican congressman from florida carlos curbelo. monica, what is the biden administration saying about today's meeting and what is at stake if this doesn't go well for the average american? >> reporter: there is so much at stake here, ana. that's what the white house and the president will be hammering home today in this meeting that this incredibly high stakes game of chicken essentially is one that the american people cannot afford. the fact that the u.s. has never before defaulted, if this were to take place on or around june 1st as the treasury secretary

outlined, that would mean catastrophic financial collapse, the stock markets would tumble, millions of jobs would be wiped out and so on and so forth. that is what you're going to be hearing in this meeting. and the president and the white house have tried to maintain their position here for weeks and months, saying this isn't something that leadership should come together to negotiate, the white house position is the debt ceiling should be separate from the other spending cuts and larger budget talks and the two things are tied together because these congressional leaders are in completely different buckets of how they approach both of these things. so, there isn't a lot of optimism from the white house that much is going to be resolved, but the fact they're coming together will be the best indication of where things could go from here in this limited time frame. but we did hear just about how some of these consequences could play out and what could happen next from treasury secretary janet yellen on our sister network yesterday, cnbc. >> if congress doesn't raise the

debt ceiling, the president will have to make some decisions about what to do with the resources that we do have. and there are a variety of different options. but there are no good options. every option is a bad option. there just is no good option other than raising the debt ceiling. >> reporter: it shows you how complex the situation is there, the white house wants a clean debt ceiling raise. republicans don't want that at all. so this is really an intractable starting point for some of these talks. ana? >> let's go to the hill to get the other side here. ryan, what are we hearing from speaker mccarthy, what are the other congressional leaders all hoping to get out of today's talks? >> reporter: well, in many ways, and it is almost remarkable that despite that letter from janet yellen a week ago the position, the public position of the congressional leaders that are going to be in this meeting today has not moved an inch.

democrats insist they will only support a clean debt ceiling with no provisions attached, no spending cuts attached and republicans are insistent they won't support a lifting of the debt ceiling unless there are significant spending cuts. part of what the goal of today's meeting will be is to find if there is any sort of common ground, exit ramp where the leaders involved in these conversations can both save enough face with their constituents and come up with a plan that would get enough votes in both the house and the senate to get over the finish line. so, at this point, they are going in with their public posture as firm as it has ever been and we'll see if the negotiations fall from there. it is important to point out, though, ana, that the stacks for all three congressional leaders met with the director of legislative affairs on friday in a private meeting to kind of go over the parameters of what this meeting will look like. that is at least somewhat of an indication that they are prime for negotiating, not just staring at each other, but we're

not going to know for sure if there is any movement in their positions until they emerge from this meeting later today. >> congressman, new nbc news reporting outlines mccarthy's position in all of this, failing to raise the debt limit in the next three weeks could be catastrophic for the u.s. economy. but neglecting to secure the spending cuts, his right flank pushed for, could spell doom for mccarthy's career. so, it sounds like a double-edged sword if you're mccarthy. >> it is a double-edged sword, ana. on the one hand he has hard-line republicans who are going to pressure him to hold firm, to keep the house's position, which is the bill they passed a couple of weeks ago. and then you also have moderate republicans, swing district republicans, who don't want to face the consequences of a potential financial crisis or anything else that could result from failing to raise the debt ceiling on a timely basis. so, mccarthy really has to navigate this carefully, and he has to understand that there is

a good chance that if this does get pushed to the brink, a group of republicans could break off and sign a discharge petition with democrats to force a vote on the floor of the house. and it would be very difficult for mccarthy to punish those republicans because he only has a five-seat majority. if youpunish enough people, you punish yourself. this is a difficult position and mccarthy really has to show that he is willing to be reasonable and that it is the biden administration that is refusing to negotiate. >> here's the thing, congressman. republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling three times during the trump administration, without demanding the types of cuts they're asking for now. and during that time, the federal deficit ballooned by trillions of dollars. so, what's different this time other than the president being a democrat? >> well, i'll tell you a little secret, ana, the party that is

out of power, not in the white house, is always the party of fiscal responsibility. now, when republicans dominated the congress and the white house, it was democrats calling for fiscal responsibility and republicans ignoring it. and now you have republicans just controlling one chamber and wanting to emphasize fiscal responsibility. sadly that's the kind of disingenuous politics that we have become accustomed to seeing here the last couple of decades in our country. >> and that's what americans don't like about politics. thank you so much former more congressman carlos curbelo, ryan nobles and monica alba. up next, we're nearing verdict watch in e. jean carroll's civil rape and defamation lawsuit against former president trump. what the jury will consider and how quickly these deliberations could move. plus, all the parents out there, turn up the volume. we have new guidelines for you just released about safe social media use for kids. but is it easier said than done? ?

this morning, court has come to order as the jury is set to begin deliberations shortly in the civil rape and defamation trial of donald trump. the former president's decision not to testify in this case was key in yesterday's closing arguments. accuser e. jean carroll's attorney argued trump didn't appear in court because he, quote, knows what he did. while trump's lawyer argued the

vague timeline of the alleged attack made it difficult for trump to testify, saying, quote, how do you prove a negative? nbc news correspondent ron allen is outside the courthouse and also with us is federal and white collar criminal defense attorney caroline polisi. walk us through where this case stands with jury deliberations beginning today and what we heard in the closing arguments. >> reporter: the judge is instructing the jury going through the allegations, going through the charges, and defining, for example, what battery is. that's first question they have to answer. did he commit battery, which is rape in the civil proceeding. and if they answer yes to that, then they have to go and decide several elements of what constitutes battery. and then the issue is defamation. did he defame her? e. jean carroll alleges he raped her in the department store in the spring of 1996 and that this destroyed her life, destroyed her reputation, haun harmed her

personally and professionally as well. it is a jury of nine. six men, three women, we know very little about them because they have been anonymous. the judge did that to protect their identity, to protect their privacy. and to protect their security because he's very concerned about harassment of the jurors and that sort of thing going forward because this is such -- because this has been such a high profile trial. in the closing arguments, the attorneys said no one is above the law and that donald trump is a chronic liar who lies about everything and he has an mo, that he approaches women and that he sexually assaults them and they used that "access hollywood" tape where he says that's what he does as a star, he uses that, as his confession, to allegedly raping e. jean carroll. on the other side, the defense used the words inconceivable, unbelievable, odd, numerous times, describing the case that they're trying to defend donald

trump against. because they say it is just unbelievable he would attack this woman in a midtown manhattan store, in the middle of the day with other people around, no witnesses, no one heard anything, no one saw anything, he says it is just all unbelievable. that's essentially what the jury has to decide. >> ron allen, we know you'll be watching closely and informing us once those deliberations get under way and if there is any update, thank you. caroline, trump has previously said she's not my type and the attorneys for e. jean carroll turned that around on him saying she's exactly trump's type. she showed a picture to the jury and apparently it was a picture that trump had misidentified saying that was his ex-wife marla maples when it was e. jean carroll. how do you juxtapose that argument that trump's attorney's argument saying you can't prove a negative, and, you know, the timeline was so vague, it didn't make sense for him to testify in his own defense? >> yeah, roberta kaplan, the

lead attorney for e. jean carroll throughout the entire case has done a masterful job of laying it out element by element for the jury. in the closing arguments as ron noted, she essentially told the jury that in order for them to find in favor of trump, they would have to disbelieve or believe that not only e. jean carroll was lying, but five women were lying, e. jean carroll as well as the two witnesses that she called, you know, contemporaneously essentially with the alleged assault there after in 1996, she called one friend right after the alleged attack and another one a few days later, both of those women testified. additionally, which i think is very interesting about this case, the judge allowed two other, who are known as character witnesses or prior bad act witnesses, they had nothing to do with this alleged event. however, they both allege that trump sexually assaulted them in a very similar fashion to the way in which e. jean carroll is alleging.

and roberta kaplan in her closing arguments, she put up essentially, you know, on a big map to show the juries that, you know, these types of assaults are very similar to what he has basically noted -- admitted to on that "access hollywood" tape. combined together, it creates a very powerful story. >> i want to ask you, based on your experience how quickly you think we could see a verdict. >> you know, i learned a long time ago never to make predictions because you never know with juries. i will say that this is a unique element to the civil case that it does have to be a unanimous verdict. however, it is a lower standard, you know, this is a civil case, not a criminal case. they only need to agree by a preponderance of the evidence that was it was more likely than not that the battery occurred. i personally think it is going to be a quick verdict, but you never know. >> you think that the closing arguments, the case was stronger by e. jean carroll's team? >> i do.

i think joe tacopina did a pretty good job with, you know, the hand he was given. he shot back at their closing arguments saying you heard from trump in his deposition testimony, vociferously denying he didn't need to come in person, arguing against this idea that he didn't show up, you know, good enough in the deposition testimony. >> it will be interesting. we'll be watching and this is just one of so many different legal, i don't know quandaries that the former president is in. thank you, caroline, for your analysis. and now the latest on calls for charges after the chokehold death of the man on a new york city subway. two sources familiar with the matter tell nbc news that the investigation into jordan neely's death is ongoing and as of now the manhattan district attorney won't make a decision on whether to present the case to a grand jury until later this week. meanwhile, protests continue in new york with demonstrators calling for charges against the man involved in neely's death. that man's lawyer release the a

statement saying he never intended to harm neely, and that he acted in self-defense. next, on "ana cabrera reports," russia is marking world war ii victory day, but it wasn't the typical celebration. the scaled down display in moscow this morning as russia launches the fifth air attack on ukraine's capital since the beginning of may. and 26,000 illegal crossings in the past 72 hours at the border. what happens days from now when covid restrictions end? we're live in mexico where migrants are gathering. n mexicoe migrantsre a gathering this week is your chance to try any subway footlong for free. like the subway series menu. just buy any footlong in the app, and get one free. everyone loves free stuff chuck. can we get peyton a footlong? get it before it's gone. on the subway app. power e*trade's award-winning trading app makes trading easier. with its customizable options chain, easy-to-use tools and paper trading to help sharpen your skills, you can stay on top of the market from wherever you are.

i want to take you to our southern border. we're just, you know, 48 hours now or so from the lifting of title 42, the covid era restrictions that prevented more migrants from crossing. southern california, you can see massive crowds of migrants gathering there. in el paso, large groups are also camping out on the city's streets. they're numbers only expected to grow with just two days until the ending of title 42. guad venegas joins us with more. what are you seeing there as we get closer to the lifting of title 42? >> reporter: here in tijuana, they have been dealing with migrants coming to this city for years now. the infrastructure that is in tijuana worked much better than

other parts of the border. we have seen the images of some of the migrants who have been arriving, crossing into the united states and camping out between those two border walls. those are migrants that want to request asylum, not the ones that are going through what the department of homeland security says is the legal process, through this app that was created, that mayorkas keeps talking about, dh secretary may york. this is where they come. we have some of them sitting behind me. this group is from cuba. now, migrants have been saying that the app created by the government, the u.s. government, for them to request asylum doesn't work properly. this is juan. his appointment is at 11:00 a.m. but here is the problem.

22 days he was trying to use the app and it wouldn't work. [ speaking in non-english ] >> the problem is when he scanned the photo on the app, it would freeze. so at some point during that application, and this is what i heard from most of the migrants that talk about the app, when they have to scan their photo, it freezes, and essentially you have to wait until the next day to do the process again and again and again. so why am i bringing this up? a lot of the migrants were frustrated going through this process and then what they end up doing is crossing the border illegally to request asylum by turning themselves in to border patrol. i'm going to show you what the process is like here. this is where the migrants get in line. earlier, we had 100 migrants that had appointments. they come, they line up and the front of this line, a mexican immigration official will receive them, check that paperwork, will check the appointment that they made through the app, and this is the port of entry that is being used here in san diego to receive the

migrants. you can see some individuals walking, these are just pedestrians using that port of entry, the migrants will be turned over to u.s. border officials here and that's how they begin that legal process that dhs secretary mayorkas has been referred to. he's asking migrants to go through that process. the issue they tell me is that the application, again, has had issues. we're told there has been an update done to that application. so we plan to speak to some of the migrants trying to use that app. what we heard so far, it has been quite difficult. now, things, ana, here very different from what we saw yesterday and that is still happening today about a mile in that direction where many migrants are going over the border wall and camping out in that area, ready to turn themselves in to border patrol. >> just real quick, though, i'm glad you're there, it is important for us to see the reality on the ground. we have been told there are thousands of migrants just waiting to get in, and yet you showed us where they're supposed

to line up and there isn't hardly anybody there. explain that disparity and what our understanding is versus what you're seeing. >> reporter: so, when you talk about the thousands, right now what we have seen in juarez, mexico and matamoros, there were thousands of migrants camping out waiting to enter the united states, many illegally. here we have hundreds of migrants in a camp also entering the country illegally to request asylum. the migrants coming here have appointments they made through the application. some are in hotels, some are in shelters. tijuana is by far the city at the u.s. mexico border on the mexican side that has prepared the best over the years because there is numerous shelters, thousands are in shelters, the last number i saw were 16,000 migrants currently here attempting to go to the u.s., but, again, this is a city that has been receiving migrants for many years now. so there is an infrastructure in place for them to stay. there are several shelters

around here. this is just a final line where they're going to come in and do the processing. what is interesting, when it comes to the numbers, it is a very small group of migrants that are able to do the legal process that has been established. there is no line, right? you think of, like, people could come in and do the process right now, most of the migrants are not doing it this way. most of them are at the areas where they cross illegally and then turn themselves in to border patrol. >> there is clearly a disconnect somewhere in this process. guad venegas, thank you for that reporting. overseas now, where russia celebrated victory day, marking the anniversary of the defeat of nazi germany. but this year's parade was really scaled back compared to past celebrations. in moscow, there were smaller crowds, less military hardware with most of it now being used on the front lines of ukraine. and russia launched yet another attack overnight on kyiv. the fifth air attack this month, explosions seen in the sky as ukraine's defense ministry says

they shot down 23 russian cruise missiles. nbc news correspondent ellison barber is live from kyiv for us. bring us the latest on the attacks there. >> reporter: yeah, ana, it was almost impossible in the heart of kyiv to sleep through the sounds of explosions this morning. air raid sirens started sounding here a little after 4:00 a.m., about 30 minutes later there were two loud booms, not sounds of missiles hitting buildings, that sounds different. but a hollow like boom, the sound of air defense intercepting cruise missiles. that's what officials say happened here in the city of kyiv. officials say 15 russian cruise missiles were fired at the city, all of them were intercepted. country ride, ukraine's military, says russia fired 25 caliber and cruise missiles from both the black sea and the caspian sea. they say air defense systems were able to intercept all but two of those. they intercepted 23 out of 25 missiles that were fired at a

number of regions across this country. the majority of them headed here towards kyiv. ukraine's foreign minister is now reiterating his calls for more air defense systems, and more advanced aircraft. in a tweet, he said this in part, our air defense was intercepting russian missiles. i thank partners for providing air defense systems. i reiterate my call to increase their numbers and provide f-16s that will work together with ground platforms to close our sky. there was a fear here, a thought here that perhaps there could be an escalation of attacks like this as we got closer to today. may 9th, victory day in russia. the attacks we have seen of late, five in the last nine days, some of those, military experts have said, could also be in anticipation of ukraine's counteroffensive. but there was an expectation here that there would be some sort of strike symbolic tie to victory day. we know on the eastern front lines, ukraine's commander of the ground forces there, he said yesterday ukrainian positions were being heavily shelled by

russian forces. they were using heavier equipment because they were hoping to capture that city by victory day. there were these strikes last night, but the vast majority of those cruise missiles were intercepted in bakhmut this morning. that is not in russian hands. so moscow was expecting some sort of big victory day on their victory day in this country, it did not happen. ana? >> ellison barber, thank you for that reporting from kyiv. up next on "ana cabrera reports," pennsylvania senator john fetterman is opening up about seeking treatment for depression. his message to others struggling with their mental health. plus, big changes could soon be coming to a pharmacy near you. how the fda weighs making birth control available over the counter for the first time ever. . and there he is. chaz. the rec league's self-crowned pickleball king. do you just bow down? no you de-thrown the king. pedialyte. 3x the electrolytes.

okay, parents, if you are worried about what your kids see on social media you are certainly not alone. there are new guidelines issued, and they say adults should monitor what kids between the age of 10 and 14 do online, and screen for problematic usage and avoid apps centered around beauty or appearance entirely. there has been so much focus on the negative impacts of social media, especially on young developing minds. tell us more about this guidance and how realistic is it to follow for families? >> it's a really good question. it's like, how much can this help and what does it mean for parents? the interesting thing is how was this done. we were talking about how there has been a lot of headlines, this is bad and that is that bad, and this is an aggregate

and then what do we do with all that information, which can be helpful for parents. you mentioned some of the big ones, and the big one for parents to understand is the comparison trap when you are online. the beauty and appearance issue that you see on the aps, it's real. there is things more nebulous, like avoiding spaces where there could be cyber hate. i think the biggest takeaway for parents is this is a conversation starter, and there are ten good things to be aware of, and how do you start to have conversations with your kids about what to do about those things. and another one is to think about how screen time might impact sleep or physical activity, and that could be set as a rule like taking the phone out of their room at night.

>> the other piece here is what can be done by the tech companies that own and operate these apps to try and help families? >> great question. this is aimed at those questions. really big question, what are you doing about your algorithm? same with that like button, should children, should young teenagers be compared and using the like button or are there certain features that can be changed, and that will see if the companies or any legislation changes those things. >> thank you. good conversation. that does it for us. can't forget, tune in for savannah's show. that will do it for us today. reporting from new york, i am ana cabrera. josé diaz-balart picks up with coverage right now. good morning, it's 11:00 a.m.
