stephanie: they were grouped into asians?n category or they were grouped in another category, or they did not show up at all. stephanie: grouping them together in a broad category of asians, a much larger population, hides their uniquely high rates. in california, the covid death rate for asian and pacific islanders in 2020 was 75 per 100,000, but when the data for the two groups were separated, the rate for native hawaiian and pacific islanders alone jumped to wonder 23 per 100,000, the highest in the state, while they're great for asians remain roughly the same. >> it is too easy to be hidden in the numbers. it is an invisibility, and really learning about how to meet the needs of the communities that were most affected. stephanie: the more specific the data, she says, the clear picture of specific challenges and resources needed in the diverse communities. >> there was a question today at the session -- stephanie: she runs the arkansas coalition, a nonprofit based in springdale. >> there was a lot of socioeconomic setbacks

stephanie yacoub focused on a mother and her unborn baby. hear the baby's heartbeat." i needed to make sure that that patient and her baby were okay. we got the glass off of her and the bed that she was on. we were also able to drag her away from the window and towards an area that was a little bit more safe and not as exposed, just in case there was going to be more, you know, exposures to broken glass. adam: with caslties evywhere, dr. yacoub performed r on a nurse but couldn't save her, one of 21 deaths in the hospital. the doctor recorded a brief message for her worried family. stephanie: i'm okay, and i'm fine. nothing is wrong with me at all, no bleeding or anything. eddy: they told us, "we're going to deliver no matter what." they told my wife, "you got to focus, and we need to go through this 'cause we can't go back. we have to deliver." stephanie: the sun was setting, and we had to deliver him with the use of our friend's flashlight from her phone. adam: baby george was born at 7:18 p.m. into the chaos of a failing state weakened by

stephanie: according to the u.n.ntonio guterres, 18 developing countries including yemen, somalia, and lebanon, import at least half of their wheat from russia and ukraine. in lebanon, officials are scrambling to make up for a predicted shortage. a massive explosion at a port in beirut in 2020 destroyed the middle eastern country's main grain silos. >> without the presence of silos in lebanon to store wheat, we import wheat according to our needs. the quantities we have are enough for one month because it is being stored in mills. >> we are really in uncharted territory -- new and stephanie: michael j. puma is the director of the center for climate systems research at columbia university. he says high-end energy prices and disruptions to exports of fertilizer from russia and its ally, belarus, could also affect the global food supply in coming years. >> the countries below the sahara, sub-saharan africa are importing above 70% of their potassium fertilizers from just russia and belarus. so what are the impacts of not

stephanie sy has that. stephanie: that is the way to put it. in recent days the russian attack against ukraine has intensified and become more indiscriminate, with scores of ukrainian civilians killed, and vast swaths of infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings -- even hospitals and schools destroyed. for a closer examination of russia's tactics, i'm joined by michaekofman, senior fellow for russian studies at the cna, center for naval analyses. thank you for joining the newshour as always. with the bombing of that maternity hospital in mariupol are we seeing a concerted change in tactics by russian forces, and what can the ukrainians do to defend against such tactics? >> i'm afraid we are and i think folks like me predicted early on that this war is going to get a lot more ugly and unfortunately must -- much of the worst is yet to come in the conflict. we have seen the russian military resort to artillery fire and a lot of indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas, particularly where they get involved in urban warfare. urban warfar

it's just impossible to conquer, have stephanie. earlier this week, switzerland announced that it would freeze russian held financial assets in the country, totaling more than $11000000000.00. the big number that's according to the new york times. that's a rather shocking move, given switzerland's long history of neutrality. what, what does that kind of move tell us? it tells me that the global communities really are really running around one point, which is to, to really express their opposition, their frustration, derringer, or de, outburst our with regard to what's ongoing and in ukraine, even smaller countries neutral countries like so as a lend you mentioned half joined to chorus i. i must admit, i feel a little bit and busily and about it on one hand, i think it's absolutely good and important at the international community comes together from various sectors, countries, tech sector, sports cultures, you name it to express at their opposition. but the more we do it, the more we do it, the more i fear, i mean, we corner preside

last word, the 11th hour with stephanie -- starts now. wit stephanie -- starts now >> tonight, one month of war. president biden in brussels with nato allies. warning of chemical weapons are deployed, the west will respond. the evidence of widespread destruction grows. images of ukraine attacking a russian warship, and the city of mariupol flattened by putin's military. plus, the stunning new reporting tonight, texts between justice clarence thomas's wife and mark meadows. she was pushing to overturn the election while trump vowed to take his fight to the supreme court. as the 11th hour gets underway on this thursday night. good evening, once again, i am stephanie ruhle. the russian invasion of ukraine 's entering its 30th day, marking the beginning of a second month of war. today, as russia continued attacking ukraine cities, and ukrainian forces fought back, president biden was at an emergency summit in brussels, meeting with members of nato, the european union, and the g7. ukraine's president zelenskyy spoke to the nato allies virtuall

. ♪ ♪ >> good evening and welcome back, i'm stephanie ruhle.sident biden gave his state of the union speech at a critical moment in his presidency in our nation's history, with his domestic agenda overshadowed by a war in ukraine. the address comes as moscow launches more deadly strikes on ukraine cities in its capital kyiv and it braces for a major attack. let's get to matt bradley in lviv ukraine. matt, when you speak to ukrainians, what worries the most about the days ahead? when >> i think what worries the most is that massive convoy of armored vehicles that are now descending upon kyiv. and the fact that we have reached kind of a turning point here. i don't want to say it's a turning point, because the fact of the matter is that the russians have been targeting civilians since this began. but it is now become clear that the russians are putting civilians very firmly in their crosshairs. and that is very worrying for everybody here. it means that the gloves are off in this fight. vladimir putin as i was telling you before stephanie, he has

stephanie? >> while the west is uniting around ukraine, raf, take us to moscow, what's going on there? >> stephanie, we are starting to see the sanctions take a toll on daily life here in russia. i'll give you a couple of examples. moscow has this beautiful, world famous subway system, and people here use their phones a lot of the time to pay at the turnstiles. but starting today, people have been finding apple pay, google pay, it is not working down there. if their banks are on the list of banks that have been sanctioned by the west. i was in my hotel room in a couple of days ago, and i got a call from the front desk, and they asked me to come down and settle the bill early, because they are not sure how much longer credit cards are going to be working in this country. we are not yet seeing runs on banks, or anything like that. but i'll tell you, people here, ordinary middle class russians about nothing to vladimir putin's war, are absolutely terrified as they watch the value of the rugel colla

stephanie, in recent months, russia has repeatedly pointed the finger at nato. some of even argue that nato is at least partially responsible for the outbreak of war, arguing that it's expansion in early 2, thousands to include former soviet countries. is that the route of today's crisis? would you agree with that assessment? no, and a surprisingly, i don't agree with that assessment. let me, let me say, 1st of all, i mean that we do have principles and global principles, including our, the free choice of countries to determine their own security arrangements or nato didn't go around shopping and ask people to join advice. vice versa. countries like lithuania is the one error, the czech republic, poland. all these countries really sought to become a member of nato because they thought it was best for their own countries. and they took it free and deliberate choice and that's number one. but number 2, i would like to stress. i also recall vividly because back then i, i was there i, when we signed the strategic partnership with russia, that was back in 1997. and w

but stephanie, getting out is getting difficult. if you go to one of moscow's international airports right now, you look at the departures board, you are just seeing a sea of cancellations because both european and north american airspace are closed to russian aircrafts right now. the russian people, stephanie, have been kept in a real information vacuum about what is actually happening on the ground in this war that has been launched in their name. but earlier today, they were finally told 498 russian service members have been killed so far in ukraine. now those are official rather russian government figures. western officials are suggesting the real number might be enough lot higher than that. but just assuming for a moment that those figures are accurate, that is more soldiers killed in one week in ukraine than the u.s. lost in the whole first year of fighting in iraq. it's more than the uk lost in 20 years of fighting in afghanistan. so we are waiting to see what the responses here in russia to the news that so many young russia

stephanie? >> why wouldn't they want to own up to it? they were actively shelling the plant. is it because, we just had the map up there, that power plant is very, very close to russia, if there was radiation, and the winds were blowing in one direction rather than the other, it could be dangerous to the russian people. is that why they don't want to admit it? >> i think that's definitely, it could be part of it. memories of chernobyl are strong here. i think another part of it, stephanie, the russian people are being told day after day, this is a limited military operation, in the east of ukraine, to protect the russian speakers there. they are not being told the reality. this is a sprawling invasion of ukraine, across multiple fronts, and this power plant, it is close to russia, but it is also far-ish from these two break-away republics that the russian media are saying are the source of the, the reason the russian forces are inside ukraine. and i think there is a general unwillingness to admi

stephanie? >> cal perry, thank you, would that, let's bring our experts. tom nichols, professor at the naval war college at harvard extension school. and michael mcfaul, former u.s. ambassador to russia, and then msnbc international affairs analyst. tom, what sticks out to you tonight and what we're learning about this? >> one of the things that is very striking to me is, that the intention here wants to destroy it, somehow. my guess is they're trying to capture that part of the grid, shut off the electricity, and people have to remember that if there were a disaster at the spa and, most of that would actually blow into russia. because of the way the winds go. so, once again, the thing i'm struck by is the recklessness and incompetence of the russians in this iron fisted attempts to seize ukraine and intimidate its people. i don't think, at this point, the goal was to destroy this plant. but, this is classic russian military playbook. the classic russian military playbook of being completely rec

it is, i keep being asked, >> yeah, hi stephanie. could this get worse.l, yeah, think about those millions of syrians over the years and years. yes, it can get worse, and as we've been showing, heartbreakingly, infuriating lee, it just got worse. we see these images, these reports from the maternity ward in mariupol. it should not be the greatest person for becoming a mother through childbirth, but women are giving birth and bunkers. right now -- are being bombed, highly pregnant women in labor been buried beneath the rubble, of destroyed buildings after years. another indiscriminate attack. yeah, sorry stephanie, it can get worse, and interested. >> my gosh, today feels worse than we could've imagined but we here we are. i want to ask you about so many people have been able to get out the country. they're in hungary, poland, other places around europe, they're not just gonna be there for a few days are a few nights. are these countries ready to handle this new refugee population that will be there indefinitely? >> it's a great question, on one hand, we h

>> i can, stephanie. let's begin by saying we want to avoid ultimately, a global thermal nuclear war between the u.s. and russia. we can do that. we can avoid that, but still give the ukrainians with a need to fight this war. so my answer on where is the no fly zone, we can give the ukrainians the means to create that no-fly zone. we've done a lot of that. that is with stinger missiles providing potentially polish make 29's. these are very capable aircrafts that can be transferred to the ukrainian navy and back field by the u. s. military, and we have the capability to give the ukrainians the opportunity to conduct this. we want to avoid the situation which would be a straight no-fly zone between you s and russian aircraft going nose to nose up there. that's a potential path to what we must be mindful of. give the ukrainians the tools they will fight this fight. i think very successfully. >> michael, are we not doing that yet? when we talk to people from ukraine, parliament members, we hear over and over,

stephanie? >> why wouldn't they want to own up to it. they were actively shutting the plant. is it because we just had the map of their, that power plant is very close to russia. if there was radiation, and the winds were blowing in one direction rather than the other, it could be dangerous to the russian people. is that why they don't want to admit it? >> i think that definitely could be part of it. memories of chernobyl are strong here. i think another part of this, stephanie, is that russian people are being told to have today this is a limited military operation in the east of ukraine to protect the russian speakers there. they are not being told the reality. this is a sprawling invasion of ukraine across multiple fronts. this power plant, it is close to russia, but it's also far from these two breakaway republics that the russian media are saying are the source of the reason that the forces inside ukraine. and there is a general unwillingness to admit to the russian people quite how big thi

stephanie: when you look at u.s.roduction, president biden was keen to point out there are already some 9,000 permits that oil and gas companies have approved to produce more oil and make up for this shortfall. would you expect that the higher prices are going to compel oil and gas companies to start drilling and ramp up domestic production here? daniel: you know, the 9,000 really doesn't make much sense. i think we really need to avoid a blame game here and instead focus on collaboration and cooperation in what is turning into a serious crisis; 9,000 leases out there, first, you don't know if there's any oil there. you have to move equipment there. by the way, it takes a year or so to prepare a well and to drill it. and on top of that, the same kind of shortage also that are affecting the rest of the company, of people, pipes and things like that, is affecting the oil and gas industry. we are seeing production going up. and that should have been acknowledged in the president's remarks, go up by almost a million barr

the 11th hour with stephanie ruhle starts now.w tonight, the grimmest phase yet in russia's war in ukraine. a children and maternity hospital bombs. pregnant women pulled out, and fears that children can still be trapped beneath the rubble. and if that wasn't enough, the u.s. is now warning that russia can use chemical or biological weapons, next, and more companies cutting ties with moscow, but who is still saying, as the 11th hour gets underway on this wednesday night. >> good evening, i'm stephanie ruhle, day 15 of the invasion in ukraine, and russia appears to have begun a more brutal and devastating phase of its assault. today, airstrikes on the southern city of mariupol, destroyed a children's a maternity hospital. the horror of the bombing captured in this image of a injured pregnant women carried out on a stretcher. >> vladimir putin says russians should be proud of what their soldiers are doing in ukraine. but where is the honor? bombing a children's and maternity hospital. no patients were reported killed in this attack,

good evening, once again, i am stephanie ruhle. the russian invasion of ukraine's entering its 30th day, marking the beginning of a second month of war. today, as russia continued attacking ukraine cities, and ukrainian forces fought back, president biden was at an emergency summit in brussels, meeting with members of nato, the european union, and the g7. ukraine's president zelenskyy spoke to the nato allies virtually, warning the alliance still isn't doing enough to help. he also accused russia of using devastating phosphorus bombs, a troubling accusation the u.s. has yet to confirm. the accusation adds to the growing fear that vladimir putin may turn to chemical or biological weapons in his struggle to take over ukraine. today, biden and u.s. allies warn that that would not go unanswered. >> we would respond, we would respond if he uses it, and the nature of the responsible depend on the nature of the use. >> also today, more promises of additional humanitarian and military aid for ukraine. and, yet another round of sanctions ag

>> absolutely, stephanie. i think the battle for kyiv is shaping up to be not remember the most consequential battles of the 21st century, but maybe the most consequential fight since the battle of britain, in world war ii, in 1940. what ukraine is having to contend with, our russian aircraft, trying to bomb, and straight, civilian targets, across the city. laying siege as richard, and cal, reported to the city. cutting off key lifelines. if the zelenskyy government can hold on, stay in power, and continue to operate from a commanding control position, in its own capital city, i think that will create, essentially, a long-standing war of attrition, a standoff between russian forces, and ukrainian forces. i think this is shaping up to be, stephanie, as world war ii and a half. not yet world war iii, not yet all out nuclear confrontation between russia, in the west, but something that, probably, will not be contained just to the borders of ukraine. it will be a conflict across europe, lasting for a long time. >>

adam: at one of the city's biggest hospitals, australian-born doctor, stephanie yacoub was nearing thehaven't had anything to eat or drink, and we kind of joke about it with the resints that we're about to order some maccas for everyone. adam: a few blocks from the hospital, another australian, u.n worker sarah copland was at home with her husband craig and their two-year-old son, isaac. sarah copland: he loved making people laugh like if he ever did anything and then somebody laughed, he would do it over and over again just to watch them, watch them laugh. adam: smart and outgoing, fearless in the face of beirut's tough street cats, isaac was thriving in this diverse city, moving easily between three languages. craig oehlers: every time i came to pick him up, it was as if i was picking him up for the first time. he just was so happy, and he broke out into this smile, and he ran from me. and yeah, and it was just such a beautiful moment, and he jt had the most beautiful smile. adam: sarah was pregnant with her second child, and the family had been trying to get back to australia. craig

stephanie babst joins us from germany.have you with us bit that start with the short term. is there an offramp given we have seen these rounds of talks not yielding much of a compromise? stephanie: first of all, from what i can see, it will be a long trek, i am afraid to say. i don't see light at the end of the tunnel. vladimir putin doesn't seem to have changed his endgame, which is to bring ukraine back to russia. i must admit, i don't see a quick way out of this crisis. haidi: if this is less about grievances that might be able to be addressed by compromise on the ukrainian side and more about legacy or empire building, how does the west even begin to manage those expectations? stephanie: so far, nato in the european union have worked greatly together and i think this is something president putin has completely underestimated. he must have based his assumptions on the rather weak and uncoordinated response by the west and the opposite has been true. he must've also underestimated ukraine's military resistance, and under
