scott mcgrew is following those talks under way right now. what's the latest on the ground?we'll talk about the talks and what's going on as far as the military goes. status quo in the north in kyiv, heavy shelling around kharkiv, that's the country's second largest city. in the south, significant russian progress. reports of russian ships just off the coast of odesa. odesa about the size of san jose. the russians claim they seized a town in here, the town of kherson. that would be the ukrainian city, the first ukrainian city to fall to the russians. it's a provincial capital at the mouth of the dnieper river. this video, we can't tell you which side's vehicles you're seeing here. in many cases they're using the same equipment. here's a picture of the second round of talks between russia and ukraine. previously the russians demanded e-militarization of ukraine. the u.s. sending ukraine anti-tank javelins, stingers and anti-aircraft missiles. putin and macron talked a little while ago. the french readout says macron warned putin that the invasion is threatening relations. the

"wired" looks a lot more mainstream. and tech, well, tech has offered us less and less to cheer for sometimes. and that's what led me to "wired" global editorial director to give some thought about what the future of "wired" should be. he joins me now. good morning, gideon. the question is so serious in your mind, you've actually written a manifesto about this. welcome to the new wired, the future begins here again, is the title you gave it. why so serious? >> well, i think that we're in a time when there's a lot of hope and also a lot of fear around technology and what it could do for us. and you described

i'm scott mcgrew. i cringe a little when someone suggestions we run something that is not a business like a business. the classic example of that is government like a business. the fatale flaw in that argument is government is not a business. so lighthouse, for instance, makes no profit and you shouldn't run a government like a business. when i heard the proposal to run education like a start-up, which kind of sounds like the same thing, i was not convinced, but then i heard the guy behind it was brian greenberg who helped create khan academy and he had $45 million in backing. i thought i would brian the doubt this morning. brian, thank you for joining us. so your effort is called the silicon schools fund. $45 million to work with to encourage schools to act like start-ups. let's start with the money. where does the money come from? >> so we are a foundation, and we raise money from really dedicated philanthropists all around the country. just to clarify, i didn't help start it. i worked with them to c

scott mcgrew joins us to explain. >> reporter: there is an old joke about not remembering the '60s. i don't remember 1969 because i was 2 at the time. according to records first time jobless claims then and this week were 187,000. 187,000 americans showing up for the first time asking for benefits. it is exceptionally good news for the economy showing very, very few lay-offs. the unemployment rate is low as well and of course we've seen the signs outside businesses advertising new jobs. it is going to be one more challenge for the fed and jay powell, our strong economy combined with shortages created by covid slowdowns created record inflation. the fed can fight inflation by slowing the economy down with interest rate hikes. it is really the only way to fight inflation. we've already seen one small interest rate hike. today's good news could help push the fed to raising rates faster and sooner than expected. back to you. >> thank you. you can see scott and the rest of the morning team every week day morning 4:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. right here on nbc bay area. >>> up next a tense after
