when americans see images like that, they are incredibly generous. >> keir simmons, thank you very muchreport and if you want to help unicef in its fight against hunger in kenya and around the world, visit unicef usa.org/nbc. >> and keir is on right. americans, the american government, has long been extraordinarily generous. but obviously we need to do more right now. and there are organizations like unicef. willie, also, you know, we've been involved for some time with global citizen who are fighting extreme poverty. and they are trying to do it by working with governments. so it is not just one person here or -- it is a collective, nations rising up, a global initiative to help so much people suffering right now. >> and the good news is there is progress being made if you look at worldwide poverty rates. but you look at those kids, those families, you look at those young girls that the school, and if you don't see your own child in there, you should. >> you're not looking closely enough. >> yeah. and that is a worth while cause. just an amazing and thought-provoking report from keir t

keir simmons is in kenya for us tonight. >> reporter: these children and their mothers in east africa are thousands of miles from ukraine, but the conflict has reached even there. now in the hospital because he's so sick and underfed. russia's president putin this week again threatened to stop ships full of staple food bound for africa from passing through a russian blockade of the black sea. we flew to northern kenya and visited this unicef-supported hospital where we met leya. and severely malnourished sara. leya says all of her livestock which she relied on to feed her family died in the worsening drought here. how many meals a day do you have at home? just one, she says. mary from sudan is here with her four-month-old son. she told me she had no milk for her baby. she says life is much harder than it ever was. she has to decide which of her children get food. as groups like the world food program fight to feed 22 million facing starvation here, primarily caused by drought now in its fifth year. food from ukraine will be crucial. every time a young patient dies, this man tells me -

this is now on him. >> keir simmons, you look. a self inflicted wound after another.nd entrepreneurs in his country. what entrepreneur wants to be successful there? we could talk about the uighurs. it's been staggering. yet the more mistakes he makes the more power he accumulates. >> yeah. i think you could borrow. it is the economy, stupid. the 1.4 billion people ridden a wave of economic growth allowing the chinese communist party to hold on to power but i think of a visit before covid reporting on the uighurs and the message from chinese officials there are we are bringing economic prosperity. that's the answer to the questions about treatment. pulling people out of poverty. the problem for china and xi is if the economy is slowing down potentially driven by the covid policy what do you do then and say to the people then? richard is exactly right that effectively what xi has done is taken the responsibility on himself and anything that goes wrong and as the law of unintended consequences anything that goes wrong reflects on him. but there's more to the challenge th

and keir simmons recently travelled there, and extraordinary reporting you have been doing.ce. >> that's right, josÉ. they are talking about it at the g20, but i have to tell you, i was absolutely stunned by what we saw when we went to east africa. the numbers tell one story, tens of millions facing starvation there, and even famine, and it's happening right now. when you see people in the dirt just looking for the opportunity to eat, it's heartbreaking. families tkreuf even to tkes paw ration by a devastating drought. sifting through the sand, hoping to find pieces of gold. >> did you find any gold this week? >> no gold this week. >> how often does he find gold? she shows me what a pieces of gold looks like, a speck on the tip of the finger, and that will pay for the first food she has had in two to three days. they are not trying to get rich, just want to eat. she says, i'm hungry. like the 7-month-old here, living with her mother in a small tent, and for the first time a children's clinic has arrived. if she can't hold down food, they will rush her to the hospital. and a

of russia saying why are our boys, our husbands having to go to ukraine so far away from us. >> keir simmonsguys? >> the problem, we have been saying it for years, the problem with russia is that it's become -- the government has just become so tied to vladimir putin that even the thought of anyone replacing him is just not crossed anyone's mind. we don't know how that looks. we don't know what comes after putin for a country that has more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world. we certainly know what things look like before putin, and yes, they are absolutely horrific now. but, you know, throughout much of the '90s, there was political, military, social an -- anarchy in russia. everywhere you look, there's danger. >> he has been very deliberate about not having a succession plan. he didn't want that. he made himself president again in order for there not to be a succession plan, and we don't know what it would like for him personally not to lose, and for russia with all of its nuclear weapons to lose in ukraine either. the question has to be, you know, if we get rid of putin, i
