the head of the u. n's nuclear watchdog visits the chris nuclear power plant. president vladimir putin has accused ukraine of trying to attack the nuclear facility. one of the largest in russia. ukraine hasn't commented raphael grossi warrant of the danger of a serious nuclear incident. we see the plant still operating at the same time, the fact that the blank piece operating at make it even more serious in terms of finding eventual action against it. and when i've done the so breaking that temperature is much higher. and if there was the case of an impact or something that could affect it, and there would be serious consequences. grossi said the reactor lacks any special protection. he had seen evidence of a drone strike on the plants, the premises, and repeated his warning that nuclear facilities must not become targets an armed concert. but rushes for an ministry spokeswoman accuse the i a e, a of not being explicit enough in its officers nations. we see both the assessments and the work of this structure, but each time we want to more objective unclear expression of the position of

it's in the opposite, if vladimir putin thought donald trump is coming back in the office, why would he give up anything? donald trump, we heard earlier in the show from chris not need to trade anything off with vladimir putin. >> of course i have to find something to criticize, they can't simply credit the biden administration and vice president harris for their work behind the scenes. it is important to build those relationships and diplomacy and i think this is an interesting detail in this monumental story because what we are seeing is what the vice president has been doing behind the scenes, often you hear from the right, criticism about the fact people don't really know what the vice president is doing, she is not doing anything. turns out, she has been to 20 different countries and talked to 150 different world leaders. as donald trump is criticizing the potential of her becoming president, saying that world leaders will look down on her and play her like a toy or whatever he said, i think the bottom line is, she is doing serious phonetic work behind the scenes. this is the proof of that. >> symone , i want to talk about donald trump, you and i have

chris. >> monica alba, thank you. >>> russian president vladimir putin is vowing to quote, squeeze out the enemy as ukraine pushes deeper into the ksurprise cross border assault it's advanced by 20 miles an embarrassing result for the kremlin, and forced them to evacuate another border region nbc's josh lederman is following this story for us. what else did putin say in his remarks today, josh? >> chris, president putin is saying that a time for reckoning will be coming for the fact that ukraine has been able to take over russian territory but that right now, the immediate goal is to liberate these territories for russia that have been occupied by ukrainian troops for several days now we just got an update from the ukrainian military, which is now claiming that they control some 1,000 square kilometers of russian territory. that's about 385 square miles. nbc news can't independently verify exactly the geography or what territory has been taken over, but any way that you look at it, this has been a real stunning move by the ukrainians to take over a large swath, dozens of settlements within russia proper. it's coming as

obviously are ultimately resolved at the highest level, vladimir putin, joe biden, what role do families play in all of this, michael? >> yeah, absolutely, chris. this is one of the interesting dynamics of these hostage swaps that seem to be becoming increasingly common, is that the families are now these active participants. you almost get to know them as characters in the media if you're following these cases, and, you know, i was struck in a statement released today by the whelan family. there was a paragraph that said they were initially, and i know this has been true in other cases with other families, they were initially advised to stay quiet, let's keep this quiet, keep the temperature low, because more attention, families are often told in the beginning, more attention will only essentially raise the asking price for your loved one. the more this person is seen as somebody that there's a lot of political pressure for the u.s. to return, the more russia or iran or whatever country is holding them is going to ask in return, and that's going to make it more difficult. what we have seen over and over, and what whelan family said in their s

cause any issues with regard to this, but chris isn't the clear indication here that put these people in the same venn diagram? >> tommy robinson, vladimir putingel farage, the inference, the smears that they're basically the same animal. that's what this is doing. and as for christopher steele saying that nigel farage is, quote, an instigator of the recent riots, that to me is borderline defamatory. >> i think it is defamatory. and if i was nigel, i'd be, speaking to my solicitors. you know, we've got a load of misinformation and nonsense going on at the moment because both parties, neither party, actually want to deal with the problem that that 60% of the 6,070% of the population feel, and there's a lot of misinformation flying about. and i think nigel is probably, you know, i think this talk about hard right, hard left, this is, you know, there's an awful lot of people in the country that are really concerned about immigration. both parties know that. and, they're both trying to, throw some muck around and of course, nigel is the one that's going to get it. >> and, chris, it's worth pointing out, of course, that this conversation with chris

chris murphy, a member of the foreign relations committee. to do this, senator, in the middle of hostile relations between the united states and vladimir putin and russia over this ongoing ukraine war is extraordinary. i think there's no way to describe this diplomacy other than an amazing achievement. we knew the germans were not willing to give up this assassin previously for brittney griner. that's why paul whelan got left behind. there's an american schoolteacher who taught so many of our diplomatic children. he was arrested on drug charges. not accused of espionage. and convicted. >> this is an extraordinary deal, andrea. obviously, we continue to have a very complicated relationship with russia. obviously, we are fighting them in ukraine right now through our support to the ukrainians. but we have been able to keep open a channel with them on these prisoner releases that has now come to fruition today. i think what's exceptional to me about this deal is that it includes not only these key americans that we needed to get released, but also includes, it appears, substantial russian political opposition figures, figures that may have been
