means pride celebrations are kicking off across the country. but this year many of those events are facing an increasingly hostile environment. nearly 500 anti-lgbtq bills have been introduced in state legislatures across the country, and some big businesses are facing calls from boycotts with target and bud light fighting backlash from their marketing and merchandise. tonight on "nightly news," nbc's stephanie gosk explores what's changed and why this could be the most consequential pride month in years. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports," thanks for being with us, follow us online on facebook and twitter @mitchellreports. "chris jansing reports" starts right now. ♪♪ good day, i'm chris jansing live in washington, d.c. one down, one to go, after house lawmakers voted overwhelmingly for the debt deal, the spotlight now shifting to the senate where there's a major push to get this

done before the end of the day. what multiple sources are telling our team on the hill. and i'll get the administration's perspective from nec deputy director in just a couple of minutes. plus, the comments from former president trump caught on tape and now in the hands of the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents. and it's a horrific case involving unspeakable crimes. an ex-cia officer accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women, the evidence seemingly overwhelming including photos and videotapes, but today a judge is being asked to throw it all out. but we start in the senate where the scramble is on to push the debt limit bill through the senate as soon as tonight, cramming what would typically be maybe a week's worth of debate and drama into hours, with lawmakers now under the threat of a catastrophic default if they don't get this done by monday. here's majority leader schumer just a few hours ago. >> june 5th is less than four

days away. at this point any needless delay or any last minute holdups would be an unnecessary and even dangerous risk. and any change to this bill that forces us to send it back to the house would be entirely unacceptable. the senate will stay in session until we send a bill avoiding default to the president's desk, and we will keep working until the job is done. >> of course the real question is how long that might be as senator schumer suggests, even a single lawmaker objecting to an expedited time line could push this bill uncomfortably close to the deadline, and any amendments that are introduced would have to fail. otherwise they could derail the bill entirely. joining me now is nbc's ryan nobles on capitol hill, and with me here is juanita tolliver, an msnbc political analyst and host of crooked media's what a day podcast. so ryan, break this down for us. what are the chances that this

gets done tonight? what would have to happen between now and then for that to happen? >> well, the republican minority whip, john thune just briefed reporters not too long ago, and he said that they are still, you know, kind of at a bit of a holdup in terms of a time agreement to get this vote moving, and he said that things were trending now more toward tomorrow for this vote as opposed to later tonight, but he said anything's possible at this point. right now they are haggling over the types of amendments that will be voted on to kind of appease the group of senators that are upset about the content of this bill. you see some of the possible amendments that could end up on the floor, one that would cut spending more than what the current bill proposes. there's also an amendment by senator tim kaine of virginia to strip approval far pipeline that is scheduled to be built in west virginia. he and mark warner oppose this effort that senator joe manchin fought to get included in this bill. then there is also a push by senator lindsey graham to get

more military aid into this spending package. he believes it's insufficient to help ukraine in terms of their fight against russia. all of this to a certain extent is just noise. there's a real belief that there are enough votes, the 60 votes necessary to get this over the finish line, and senator joe manchin who usually has a pretty good pulse of whether or not something's going to pass or fail had this to say about the bill earlier today. >> i believe it will pass intact. everyone knows it can't go back with any amendments because if it does, we don't meet the deadline. but people want to have their say, and they're due that. and if that would happen, you know, we could be here until the weekend, and we could be up as early as tonight. >> reporter: and what senator manchin said there was very important about the amendment process. if even just one of these amendments passes, the bill has to go back to the house. this whole process starts all over again, and they will no doubt blow through the deadline. so part of what is happening

right now is that chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell are taking a look at each of these amendments and they're whipping to see exactly how many votes there are for each amendment to make sure that an amendment is put up that doesn't have the possibility of passing, which seems a little counterintuitive. that's the game that they have to play here. the other thing to keep in mind is that many of these amendments, perhaps all of them, may only need a simple majority to pass. that's why this process is delicate and a little bit complicated. senate leaders believe they can put it together to get this bill passed hopefully by the weekend. >> thank you for that. well, susan, we've been through a few of these in our day. i mean, what do you think the chances are that this somehow fails, has to go back to the house or if i'm looking out the window, it's a beautiful day. it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend with congress, that can sometimes also be an incentive to get things done. >> it's not done until it's done. it's always possible to get snarled up in some kind of

procedural, but even those smart senators who are proposing amendments to change the bills acknowledge this is the bill that's going to pass. they're trying to make a point. i think the expectation of almost everyone in town is this will pass. congress does have a tradition of waiting until the last possible minute before it does something. >> yes, it does. we have heard from both sides about their frustration, and susan's right. they know this is the bill. they also know that there are things that they feel they have to in good conscience speak up on. so elizabeth warren one of those people, let me play for you a little bit about what she has said about this. >> look, we shouldn't be in this position. the problem we've got is that the republicans are willing to take hostages, and the democrats are not. we play the grown-ups in the room, and right now we are in a position where the hostage

takers have said they are perfectly willing to blow up the economy, to ruin our good name and the world, to drive up our borrowing costs for decades into the future, and the democrats are trying to calm them down and give them enough to pass. >> well, there's another side to this, which is the republicans who as you know say look, we've got historic spending cuts. they didn't get anything. are there winners and losers here? >> absolutely, and i didn't hear senator warren say a single lie in what she said there. democrats are the ones stepping up to make sure that the government does not default on its bills. that's what the message was from minority leader jeffries in the house. that's what democrats are going to do in the senate as well, and so that's the frustrating part here, though, because all of the they thinks in this debt limit deal do really every size a republican agenda. i'm talking about the big issues around work requirement increases that threaten, what,

900,050 to 55-year-olds who are going to be subject, i'm talking about student loan debt repayment being ended, i'm also talking about that pipeline. >> that sounds like the democrats let them have the better deal when you enumerate those things. >> i think what's frustrating here too is what senator warren made clear, republicans were ready and willing to default e historically for the first time in the history of this country and democrats absolutely were not. >> one of the things also in terms of the actual issues here -- and let's not lose sight that there are issues -- came from senator lindsey graham, and he's upset about the impact on the military. he was just on the floor. let's play what he just said. >> i will never, ever trust again because you got an r behind your name that you're going to be the party of ronald reagan. you have to prove that to me.

we're playing with the men and women's lives in the military, their ability to defend themselves as some chess game in washington. i don't want us to default on the debt, but we're not leaving town until we find a way to stop some of this madness. >> the question, susan, is what does that mean? stop some of this madness. does that mean stop the bill from going through? >> he may not leave town, but i think most of the other members of congress plan on leaving town. actually, the one amendment that would give the most concern to leaders in the senate is one that would address the issue of defense spending. but they would point out that backers of the compromise would point out that military spending and veteran spending is protected from the cuts. it will affect other kinds of programs. so there is a response to it, that is an issue that has a lot of currency, especially with a lot of republicans, and it's one of the issues that's going to come up in an amendment. >> there's also been a lot of talk about how joe biden handled this one. there was a big article today

about how the president basically iced out most of the democrats, had a very small group of people he worked with, mostly kevin mccarthy to be honest with you. >> explicitly. >> and then there was this huge push to do what he said to the american people was he was going to always be able to do. he got to his members and tried to reach a deal. there are going to be some lingering bad feelings about this. >> absolutely, especially when we know in 2024 the president's going to turn around and ask these same people to be his surrogates on the campaign trail to mobilize their constituencies. that means that president biden has a lot of making nice to do and saying that this debt deal is not as bad as it could have been ain't going to cut it. i think he's going to have to make amends with a lot of the progressive members of the democratic caucus, and i think he's going to need to get alignment on messaging, especially when it relates to black and brown voters, where we know he's seen a 10 to 15 point

decline in approval since he was elected in 2020. >> ryan nobles, thank you on the hill, juanita tolliver, susan page, you're going to be back with me in a few minutes. it's the tale of the tape part two, new reporting about former president donald trump's legal troubles. we're back in 60 seconds. secons (vo) this is sadie. she's on verizon. the network she can count on. and now she's got myplan. the game changing new plan that lets her pick exactly what she wants, and save on every perk. sadie's getting her plan ready for a big trip.

travel pass, on. nice iphone 14 pro! cute couple. trips don't last forever. neither does summer love. so, sadie's moving on. apple music? check. introducing myplan. the first and only unlimited plan to give you exactly what you want, so you only pay for what you need. and get iphone 14 pro on us when you switch. it's your verizon. there is explosive new reporting today about evidence in the case involving donald trump's handling of classified documents, a source tells nbc news that the special counsel's office has a recording of the former president discussing a classified document, which he kept after leaving office. on the tape trump acknowledges the document was classified, the source who is directly familiar with the matter also says the 2021 recording was played during grand jury testimony. the former president has denied he mishandled any classified

documents, but what effect could this have on a legal investigation that appears to be nearing its end, and what might it mean for 2024 with more and more candidates joining the race to challenge trump. joining me now shan woo, former federal prosecutor. this document, this classified document reportedly relates to iran. what would a taped admission mean overall? >> it would be very powerful evidence for proving the case in front of a jury. most significant at this juncture is the effect on prosecutors. they've been very concerned about being able to prove trump's state of mind, a lot of questions, you know, was any of this accidental. what did he intend. trump makes a lot of noise about being able to declassify things. this kind of evidence will make them more comfortable in reaching a charging decision, and that's really the first hump you have to get over here is for the prosecutors to be comfortable with their case

bringing that charge. >> yeah, i mean, susan, you live in this environment around d.c., and we've all been out in the country. no prosecutor wants to bring a case they don't think they can prove, but one this high profile with the stakes as high as they are with somebody who's running for president and is a former president, it doesn't even begin to describe it to say they need to dot their i's and cross their t's. >> if you bring a case that is less than compelling to people, it will reinforce trump's argument that he is the victim of a witch hunt, of runaway prosecutors, of a weaponized justice department. it especially raises the bar to ensure trust in a system to have a case that persuades people who maybe supported trump in the past to say, yes, i understand what he did here and i believe it was wrong. >> whether it's the american people or jurors, there is something about a tape, isn't there, shan? i mean, i was thinking about nixon who lost his office because largely a tape that was

missing, what was recorded on it. the georgia investigation where trump is asking the secretary of state to find votes. what's the power of a juror hearing a defendant in their own words? >> trump's very generous to prosecutors generally with all his talking and taping. the power for a juror is a lot of times in a criminal case you won't hear from the defendant. they have a fifth amendment right not to testify, so there is the defendant's actual voice, even though they are not testifying live on the stand. and i think this particular admission, assuming the reporting is correct, is really helpful because it talks about him being aware of the sensitive nature of that document and the espionage act, which is a potential charge predates the modern classification system, a lot of his lawyer's arguments, his talking has been about declassification. this would evade that defense really because it's a sensitive document relating to national defense. >> even's talking how close are

we, last week "the wall street journal" reported that the special counsel is wrapping up his criminal investigation into this case. having interviewed virtually everybody who was at mar-a-lago at the time. what are you hearing and when you look at this in sort of the overall realm of the many cases against him, how big is this? >> i think this with georgia are the biggest cases. they don't go to his personal behavior. they don't go to business payoffs to stormy daniels. they go to things he did as president of the united states with the public's business, with an election, the safe keeping of class -- very sensitive classified documents, so i think that these two cases are much more serious than the legal actions we've seen him encounter so far. >> one of the interesting things we're watching, obviously, depending what happens with these, they're different, obviously. they're criminal cases. this is not the new york case, which was a civil case with e. jean carroll. do they move the needles with

voters? do they get some of his opponents who have not wanted to say the name trump or be critical of him to move their strategy. >> so far not moving the needle. the one reason we have this big field of republican contenders getting bigger in the next week or two is that there is a conclusion among some senior republicans, the republican p establishment, that trump will be damaged by this and there will be an opening to deny him the nomination the next time around, and we will see if that's true. >> susan page, shan wu, thank you for coming in. he was supposed to be working under cover for the cia. prosecutors say on the side he was drugging and assaulting women. the shocking photos in evidence and why they may not be allowed in court. plus, on the trail with ron desantis, the florida governor heading to new hampshire after vowing he won't be trump's punching bag anymore. you're watching "chris jansing reports" live from washington, tk. d.c. .c lasts all day.

actor danny masterson from that 70s show now faces up to 30 years in prison after he was convicted on two counts of rape at a retrial in los angeles. he was charged with raping three women whose identities have been kept private in his hollywood hills home between 2001 and 2003. the jury could not reach a verdict in one of the cases. all three accusers had once been part of the church of

scientology. masterson is still a member. the verdict comes six months after a first attempt end ed in a mistrial. a federal judge is about to decide whether almost 600 photos of an ex-cia officer allegedly abusing women after drugging them should be thrown out of court because the government may have botched the warrant to obtain them. the case of brian raymond accused of abusing more than 20 women raises questions about how the digital age could further complicate assault law. nbc's ken dilanian is reporting on this. i'm also joined by kristin gibbons feden an msnbc legal analyst and former prosecutor who has prosecuted many sex abuse cases including the one against bill cosby. thank you both for being here. tell us about what's going on today with the hearing. >> i was there this morning and this former cia officer was in an orange prison jumpsuit with his lawyers looking much older than the photos we've seen online. he was based in mexico city for many years as a spy, and this all started when a woman ran

screaming from his apartment claiming he had raped her. and subsequently the agents from the diplomatic security service, the state department served a search warrant to seize his iphones. now the way they did that is an issue that could get the whole case dismiss ds. the defense is in court asking that all these incriminating photos be excluded from the case, and it's technical the reasons behind this. basically they're saying they went to him three different times on the same warrant because they didn't really understand these agents how iphone security worked, right? so they weren't allowed to get his pass codes. you're not allowed to force someone to tell you their pass code, but the warrant did compel him to offer his biometric, his thumbprint. they didn't realize after he did that, the phones would lock up again. they didn't have a plan, so they went back to him and what his lawyers say was an unconstitutional search because they didn't get a new warrant.

and then they asked him several times to give over his pin code. he finally did. his lawyers are saying that was a fifth amendment violation. the judge has already ruled that these are significant questions. now she has to decide whether to throw out the evidence. >> kristin, for a normal, everyday person who just wants to see justice done in a case, they're probably going to look at this and say are you kidding me? what do you make of what you hear here? >> well, i think the controversial execution of that search warrant and then also coupled with the fact that the judge did allow him to withdraw his guilty plea, which typically signals an end point for many survivors, certainly the survivors in his case, has the absolute and understandable potential to send ripple through society, through potential survivors future and those who have been sexually abused in the past, but really it significantly impacts the confidence that women and all survivors of all gender identities have in the justice system as a whole.

while i respect the judge's decision and disagree with it, i can say firsthand that these types of errors, especially when publicized can fuel apprehension and skepticism about the reliability of the justice system as a whole. and really ultimately deter survivors from reporting, just out of fear that their own accounts will be mishandled or discredited, despite the gravity and validity of their claims. >> i mean, it's already so hard. you know this better than i do, i was seeing some statistics that frankly surprised me that already more than 900 of every thousand assaults go unreported. the success rate of sexual assault cases that are filed already low, according to the national sexual assault hot line. only 310 out of that thousand assaults in the u.s. are ever reported. just 50 of those lead to arrests, and only 28 ever see felony charges. finally, just 25 ended in incarcerations. what do you say to someone who

comes to you and looks at these kinds of statistics and says it's too much? >> you've got to validate it. the statistics are real, and the emotional trauma, it can't be understated, but i think it's also important that on the other side you've got to acknowledge the victories that have been made in recent years, despite these setbacks. the increasing societal awareness of sexual assault, exposure of rape myth, the education, the legislative changes, the successful litigations. you just talked about masterson, the conviction, we also have r. kelly, weinstein, e. jean carroll. these are all signs of progress. justice can prevail even against high profile individuals, or authoritative individuals such as in this case, and really that victims can find their voice in the justice system, and that they to have the ability to find justice. >> which brings us back to this case, and the whole question of

technology. we know that technology has been a big conversation on capitol hill trying to deal with all the new ways in which it affects our lives, but in the cases of looking for evidence, is there a lot of confusion out there? do there need to be, i don't know, more clear guidelines? does there need to be new training? i mean, are you surprised that what happened here happened? >> no, you know, i'm not surprised. this is a case that is going to be -- is going to serve as a pivotal point for cases going forward. in this particular case, it really does implicate as ken was talking about the fourth and fifth amendment, but really what the officers did is they were permitted to get the biometric code. the issue is they went three different times. is that permitted. was the search warrant as it was as the four corners, did it allow for those ongoing requests, and that's really the pivotal point, particularly when

you have these technological advances. so while, you know, the constitutional issues are going to be interpreted by the court, these are pretty novel for all intents and purposes. >> ken, are we likely to hear what the judge decides today? >> probably not because it's such a complicated case, but probably fairly soon. >> ken dilanian, kristen gibbons feden, thank you both very much. coming up, we'll talk to a white house insider about the behind the scenes push to get the debt deal over the finish line as early as today. first, new numbers from the cdc show the u.s. birthrate was flat last year, about 3.6 million babies were born. and a big headline is that that's a record low number of births to teenage mothers. the number of children born to mothers older than 35 continues to grow and the biggest increase is among 40 to 44-year-olds. the average age for first time moms, 27.3 years old.

the senate is voting right now on a republican resolution that would overturn the president's efforts to cancel student debt. i want to bring in nbc's ali vitali on capitol hill, remind everybody what this is all about. >> reporter: this is a procedural vote they took yesterday, so we had an expectation of how this was going to go. again, the thing at hand here is voting on a resolution that would overturn the biden administration's student loan

debt cancellation and the pause that was placed on it during the pandemic. this is something that passed the house back at the end of may just a few -- or just last week rather, and now is expected to pass the senate. it will, of course, then go to president biden's desk, and that is where he's expected to veto it. what we're watching here on the senate floor is that vote still being held open as they get just a few more votes in at the last minute, but three key yes votes to overturn this from the democratic side, we're talking specifically about senator joe manchin of west virginia, senator kyrsten sinema of arizona, and then senator jon tester of montana, all of them have really fascinating politics at play in the 2024 cycle as they're up for re-election. man chin and sinema, of course, regularly mentioned in the same breath as the most likely of democrats or in sinema's case now, independents, to cross over and vote with republicans in this tight margin chamber, but the senate not just dealing with

the business of the debt ceiling today, chris. now also doing some other business on student loan debt cancellation. >> thanks for that update. and now to that other big issue before the senate, the debt limit bill, which could face a final vote as early as tonight or tomorrow. so what is the administration doing to make sure it clears that final hurdle? i want to bring in the deputy director of the national economic council who spent years as a senate staffer on capitol hill. so you've lived this on both sides. look, i think there's some level of confidence i've heard from the hill, but within the white house, is there level of concern within the administration that something might happen that would gum up the works here? >> well, we don't like to count our chickens before they're hatched. i think the house vote was a really strong sign. you had an overwhelming majority of democrats and republicans voting in support of this bill. you don't typically see those types of bipartisan numbers. those are naming a post office

type of numbers when it comes to bipartisan support. i think that's a good sign in terms of what that means for democratic and republican support in the senate, when we eventually get to that vote either today or tomorrow. >> one of the concerns with the amendments, look, you worked there, there are at least threw senators now, i think it's mike lee, rand paul, both republicans and tim kaine, a democrat who have indicated they have specific objections to parts of the bill that could slow the process. is there a way around those delays to work around what people consider to be necessary amendments at least to get their views out there? >> this is how the senate operates. we have a lot of faith in majority leader schumer to figure out how to navigate from where we are today to getting the bill to the president's desk. sometimes you have time agreements that allow votes on certain amendments, you need super majority support to get those amendments attached to the bill. we'll see how senator schumer wants to handle it. at the end of the day, i think we remain confident one way or another this will get through the hurdles we have remaining

and get to the president's desk in advance of the june 5th default date. >> in time for congress to go home for the weekend. >> i can't speak to that, but before june 5th, i feel confident about that. >> let's talk about the numbers since that is where you are right now. most people, trillions means nothing. you know, they can't get their minds around that, but those kinds of numbers also frankly allow both sides to spend, and to, you know, throw numbers out there and say what they will. there's a column in "the wall street journal" that calls this debt ceiling deal a deal that doesn't deal with the debt, right? the congressional budget office estimates the deal will reduce deficits by 1.5 trillion over a decade. that sound like a lot, but it simply meaning according to this article the federal debt now 97% of the gross domestic product will rise to around 115% in a decade instead of 119%. so if the point of this is to at least keep some rein in on spending, is it not working?

>> well, look, it's a step. it's a step towards reducing the deficit. it builds on another step that the president secured last year when he passed the inflation reduction act, which also reduced the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars and projected by over a trillion dollars if you look beyond the next ten years, and beyond that, the president's budget takes a balanced approach to reducing the deficit even more. $3 trillion over the next ten years, a combination of cuts to wasteful spending on things like prescription drugs where americans spend two or three times what people in other countries spend for the exact same drug and also targeted taxes on the very wealthy and on big corporations. if you take that balanced approach, if you put targeted tax increases on the table, if you take a hard look at some of the wasteful spending we do on prescription drugs or oil and gas subsidies to an industry that made $200 billion, we can make a lot of progress. >> there are a lot of other ways in which democrats feel the bill

misses the boat. i want to play something that bernie sanders had to say in a conversation with my colleague, ryan nobles. >> at a time when the middle class is shrinking, working class families are struggling, makes cuts in nutrition programs, housing programs, promise that ordinary people desperately need. meanwhile, the billionaires who are doing phenomenally well with not asked to pay their fair share of taxes. they're laughing all the way to the bank. >> what do you say to people who say, look, we know there's got to be compromise, but this betrays some core democratic values. >> i would say it does not do that. it does not make any cuts to social security. it doesn't make cuts to the medicare program. it protects medicaid. all key priorities of the president, all key priorities of the democrats. by the way, things that the republicans were attacking from the moment they started the first bill. >> work requirements a big one that it's moved up in age. >> i think on the work requirements point, it was a tradeoff. so yes, the republicans pushed hard for additional work requirements on a small number

of older workers, the president pushed hard for expanding that snap program, food benefit program so that people who are homeless or who are veterans actually have fewer restrictions on their ability to claim those benefits. on net, those two changes actually mean that more people will get access to those benefits. yes this is a compromise. it has elements that we wouldn't put in there. the president pushed hard to have tax increases included on this. we don't think it's just a spending issue we have. republicans rejected those. at the same time we were able to protect key priorities of the democratic party. >> on a very, very busy day, i really appreciate you coming over to take some time to talk to us. thank you. >> thank you. and coming off two days of barn storming through iowa, ron desantis today is in new hampshire, and he got a little testy. the florida governor snapped this morning when a reporter questioned his willingness to field voters' questions. >> governor, how come you're not

taking questions from voters? >> coming up to me talking to me, what are you talking about? are you blind? >> what? >> are you blind? >> i'm not blind, no. >> people are coming up and talking to me for whatever they want to talk to me about. >> gabe gutierrez is traveling with desantis. i'm very used to hearing very tired candidates at the end of maybe months on the campaign trail. this is still the start of week one. but you just heard from desantis. tell me a little bit about that and what this has been like so far for him in new hampshire. >> reporter: hi there, chris, actually, to be fair to governor desantis, he just wrapped up another event here in rochester, new hampshire, he did take numerous questions from voters, spent several minutes signing autographs and did answer some of their questions. he also listened to some questions from reporters. he did not engage on the question that i threw at him regarding the classified documents investigation into former president trump and that

new audio recording that a source says prosecutors have. he didn't answer that one, but he did, chris, answer when i asked him to respond to former president trump this morning saying that he need only six months to fix the u.s., that coming after governor desantis said he'd need two terms to undo the damage done by democrats. desantis fired back and said, quote, why didn't he do it in four years. it's clear that now desantis is willing to establish that contrast with former president trump, not doing it during his stump speech, but when asked directly by reporters, he is showing a willingness to do that. i have been speaking with voters the last several days. i was in iowa yesterday, new hampshire today, take a listen to what some of those voters in iowa told me about why they came to see governor desantis and what they think about the increasingly crowded gop field. we do not have that tape, chris, so what i can tell you, what

many of them have been telling me, some of them are looking for an alternative to former president trump. the desantis team does believe that they can be that new alternative, and they're appealing to these conservative voters, evangelical voters in iowa and rural conservative voters here in new hampshire trying to hit that message. they have several events here in new hampshire, another one in manchester later today before heading to south carolina. they are really looking at those early states to try and build enough momentum. still, though, chris, as you know, still a long time to go. seven months before those critical iowa caucuses, chris. >> that's a long time between now and then, gabe gutierrez, thank you so much. with three new candidates scheduled to get into the race next week, we'll dig into the changing dynamics for the battle for the republican nomination. stay tuned for that. still ahead, russia's deadly pre-dawn attack, apartment buildings, schools, even a children's hospital targeted by

child and her mother. that is a sad irony on this international children's day, which was founded as an initiative for children's well-being. nbc's molly hunter is on the ground in kyiv for us. i know there was a speech today ahead of children's day. president zelenskyy highlighting the devastating toll this war has had on kids and the numbers he put out there, 483 ukrainian children killed since the russian invasion. the u.n. estimate is even higher. what's been the reaction there to this latest deadly attack? >> reporter: yeah, chris, that's exactly and i just want to zero in on exactly what happened today. overnight, as you said, another massive wave. ten ballistic and cruise missiles were fired, and even though the ukrainian air force is now so good, protecting the capital so well, especially with the u.s. made patriot air defense missiles, fragments of those missiles fall down. what happened last night, and we went to the site first thing this morning, according to the kyiv mayor, four minutes after

the air-raid alert sounded and we heard it in the middle of the night, a fragment of a missile fell down in front of a medical clinic. this medical clinic is in an apartment complex. we went and talked to residents. under this medical clinic is the only working shelter, really, in that neighborhood. it's what residents always went to. so as soon as the air-raid alert happened, there was one guy with keys, according to two residents and when the aerial alert happened, this guy went and opened the alert. three person died. one woman, her husband gave an emotional interview to local media talking about how he was trying and they were banging on the door of the air-raid shelter, they could not get in. he went to get help and at that moment, the fragment fell. another story, a mother and a 9-year-old girl. i want to show you this heartbreaking video. take a look, we're going to pull it up right now, and this is the grandfather at the scene. this is reuters material, and on the ground is the body of his granddaughter. and this picture is incredibly

powerful, chris, as you say, now, the police say this is a crime that the shelter was not open. they are looking into an investigation. they say criminal investigations have already been started. excuse me, chris, but we actually spoke with relates and they say this is a huge problem not just in this neighborhood, but across the capital is that sometimes when you need the most, kyiv relates are needing them almost on a daily basis, those shelters are not open, chris. >> the picture of the grandfather and just one family among at least 438 according to president zelenskyy, who have lost children. molly hunter, thank you. we'll be right back. y hunter, t. we'll be right back. and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have long term consequences. now as you're thinking about all the vaccines your teen might need

effect for all of new jersey and all of the pennsylvania suburbs in our regions. who is most at risk? >> people who already have lung disease or heart disease are more at risk. there's also some evidence that it affects pregnant women and developing fetuses. >> reporter: disaster created by below average rainfall, high winds and temperatures near 74 degrees. exacerbated by climate change. experts say the risk to air in u.s. cities remains so long as the fire rages up north. as the summer heats up, and conditions dry out. experts warn we could feel more impacts, even hundreds of miles from the fire zones. now back to you. >> anne thompson, thank you. we've got a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports." let's get right to it. at this hour, cancelled, inside the move from defense
