>> i will be moving u. s. troops to eastern europe and the nato countries and the nearest term. >> right now, there are 8500 u. s. troops on standby, for possible deployment, as the world waits to see if russia intends to invade ukraine. the pentagon says moscow has deployed an estimated 125,000 troops in the region, and descending and even more weapons and equipment the software noon. the joint chief of staff mark milley offered a frank and at times alarming assessment of the current situation. >> this is larger in scale and scope, and the mass of forces that we have seen in recent memory. i think you would have to go back quite awhile into the cold war days to see something of this magnitude. given the type of forces that -- if that was unleashed on ukraine, it would be significant. very significant. it would result in a significant amount of casualties. it would be horrific, it would be terrible. >> there is still time and space for diplomacy. the united states with our allies and partners have offered russ

the u. s. and europe said no. yesterday, president biden told the president of ukraine, zelensky, that there is a distinct possibility that russia could increase and did you cried in february. if it were up to them, there would be no war. so we start tonight in eastern ukraine, near the russian border, that is where we find nbc's richard engel who joins us live. richard, we know the background, what is happening now? >> there is a game of wait and see. ukrainian government, presidents lewinsky, today gave his clearest comments yet. saying that the ukrainian people should ride this out. that they should not be overly concerned that this is something that russia does periodically, that it masses forces, it holds military exercises near the border, that it is a kind of psychological warfare, and that they shouldn't given to the bait. it is left the people here in ukraine, not just to the, east but across the country, wondering is he right? it is very tempting to believe that. that is what many peo

the u. s. justice department for federal prosecution. there are comps to protect the integrity of the national archives of the united states. who knew. think about that for a second, people disparage look at history degree one of things you can do with just the right history, and just right set of skills, as you can rub to be a history cop who bus people for pilfering's death are messing with stuff in the national archive of the united states. what? the world is your oyster that's the coolest job in the entire world. politico. com is just reported that those cops are the cops on the case, at least not part of the case. of the republicans who forged fake documents after the 2020 election ascertaining that they were the real electors from their state when they were not the real electors from their state. we have been closely covering this weird story of republicans in multiple states who created forged documents to say they were electors when they were not. kyle cheney and nicolas rule from polit

the u. s. and russia the top 20% one out of five people unwilling to get vaccinated dead set against. and this big group of vaccine resistant which is a total outlier, it's having a profound intangible effect. now let me be clear, as we said on the show before, the biden administration is falling short in dealing with the virus in testing capacities, to confusion around quarantine guidelines, but it really stands out in terms of this country's battle against covid especially deal with this omicron wave. which has washed over places that such as varied as south africa, denmark, uk. the pandemic we have right now, and that other countries are having is proving to be much less deadly and other countries where they more vaccine and more boosted than us. that's the plain brutal truth. you can see it plainly on this graph. showing per debts for millions of people. just in december when omicron was beginning to ramp. up were an outlier. another thing weren't outlier. -- france, the uk, it's even worse

. >> assistant u. s. attorneys jim warwick and ken clark met with dolores and maliek. >> i introduced myself to mr. kearney. >> and you also got a chance to speak with miss delgado. >> we presented to her the facts that we had and the evidence that we had compiled against her at that point in time. >> after the arrests came a new lead. a tip to detective harding from an ex-boyfriend of dolores's in florida. >> he called me and said hey, one night i was hanging out with dolores and we got rid of a gun. and he said, "i think that was your murder weapon. " >> i mean, do you get calls like that every day? this is pretty remarkable. >> i wish. but we don't. >> investigators met with a tipster in merritt island, florida. he said that not long after karlyn's murder he and dolores delgado had burned some clothing and sneakers here. and that wasn't all. he told them he destroyed a revolver for her, dismantled it, and that the two of them threw the pieces of the gun off this pier. an fbi dive team out of miami was

it's not just about adding u. s. troops around the ukraine area, or countries around ukraine, so that is seemingly what is going to happen some of the 8,500 troops that are on alert that will be able to move in the next few days if needed. so there's a lot happening in that. but this administration has been very clear, they don't want war. and one thing that we don't know is what vladimir putin is thinking and what he wants out of this. and that is the one thing that seems to befuddle all of us. >> that is a very big question, yes. >> jeremy, on the escalating tension between russia and ukraine,'the washington" post has this out today. as the kremlin and the west square off -- actually, it's "the new york times" -- ukrainian officials are projecting an air of calm. already this week, ukraine's defense minister has asserted there has been no change, in comparison with the buildup in the spring. the head of the national security council accused some western countries and news outlets of overstating the danger for geopo

s. troops? or is diplomacy still viable option from the white house's point of view? >> well, president biden in the administration in general are a very fluid situation for any of their allies will tell, and are still trying to figure out what are right now the best deterrent and best parts to take. -- especially after you came out the press conference and said he is going to be traveling around the country and getting out the bubble more and to handle this crisis. there's a number of agencies in the administration that we believe that russia is going to invade the ukraine. that sort of attack is intimate by february. but, they really don't know. i think we'll learn more from capitol hill tomorrow. but again, they are putting more troops on alert. they are taking a more aggressive posture. but we sort of don't know because they have not made any official decision yet. >> yes, it's tense times. and in the middle of tense times, we've got this little blowup this evening. so earlier today at the white house, we mentioned joe biden's off mic moment with the fox reporter.

. >> well, we know that the average hourly wage in the u. s. is up roughly five percent, a little less. that's s pretty substantial raise for across the country. this is across industries. inflation, though, is up about seven percent, so that's higher. what that means is that although our paychecks are going up, on average, across the u.s., we are able to buy less with that money. and so it can create kind of an illusion situation because your paycheck looks bigger but a illusion situation because so, -- the defendant was deeply obsessed with religion, and a divorce would cause him to lose his standing and reputation in the church. if mark and kathy were stuck with each other, and fighting all the time, his journals painted even bleaker picture. >> the man who wrote them, wasn't just unhappy, he was depressed. according to prosecutors, desperate enough to kill. detective breitigan took the jury through each painful entry. >> i am tired of her lies and hiding a huge amount of money from me. she turns away each time i kiss her, she continues to r

her older sister married a u. s. navy sailor, moved to america in 1985. brought 16 year old gerfa with her, hoping to give her a chance at a better life. >> she was so excited about the opportunity. i remember, she went to little caesar's pizza, it was the greatest thing, to get a job. >> she had a son, josh, went back to community college to improve herself. there she met a german immigrant named heiko. from then on, that was it. they were a family! she became a lab technician, heiko a maintenance man. they bought a house in the leafy neighborhood of lynchburg, virginia and had kevin. and the immigrant son became an all american kid. he was 14 that summer of 2011. smart, studious, and looking forward to the start of high school in the fall. >> he is this normal american kit, likes pizza, hotdogs, burgers, hang out with his friends, play video games, right on his state board. >> they lived frugally, saved their money. which is how eventually heiko could afford his used mercedes sportscar, and gerfa and kevin that vacation ship to the philippines. life was

he's also former assistant u. s. attorney for the southern district of new york. and clair mccaskill, former democratic senator from missouri and an msnbc political analyst. claire, i want to begin with when we heard from the deputy attorney general today because you have been demanding from this justice department some understanding, some acknowledgment of what they are investigating and she said very clearly that our prosecutors are looking at those, those meaning the false fraudulent electoral certificates. when you put that together with what we heard attorney general garland say in his speech generally about this, before january 6th, what is your take now on where the justice department is and what they are pursuing? >> it's very hard to say how seriously they are pursuing all of this. obviously it was very good news today that there was an acknowledgment that there was facts that existed, that showed people were trying to falsely claim that they were electors in order to overturn a free and fair election in the united states of america. but i go back, lawren

s. troops to eastern europe. and the nato countries in the near term. i know it is still in the middle of the night there, perhaps early morning and russia, but do you think this will, in any way, or change any of the dynamics or the calculation, that we are seeing right now? >> well, thank you. first of all, i would say that i could in fact provoke mr. putin in some way. the russians have been very clear that they don't like to be bullied. mr. putin has made clear that russian troops are on russian territory and he does not believe that they do need to pull back. in many regards, mr. putin has won a small victory already. because the world is now paying attention. everyone wants to speak to vladimir putin. a shot at diplomacy -- everybody wants to speak to russia and find out what mr. putin intends to do. so, it is very difficult at this particular juncture to really pin down what the russians next move will be. >> i'm curious whether you see it as well. has putin made it costly for nato to, essentially, accept, not just ukraine, but any country in eas

meadows and you during the attack on the u. s. capitol and urged to you, without success, to have former president trump issue a statement addressing the attack and condemning the violence. joining us now is democratic congresswoman -- of california. she is a member of the january six committee and also, the house judiciary committee. thank you very much for joining us once again tonight. can you tell us how cooperative mr. williamson was as a witness who was able to inform the committee about mark meadows activities and donald trump's activities? >> i was only able to listen to about four hours of the deposition. but he answered the questions posed to him directly, he was under subpoena, he was well aware of his obligations. so, i think he, like the others who have come in, for the most part, are doing their duty and responding to the subpoena and the questions. we also had very good news in the john eastman case, just yesterday with the judge ordering cooperation and through the weekend, there will be a review by the parties and

the second level was at the u. s. justice department, where they kicked up the scheme to have the u.s. justice department to try to validate and endorse the made-up fraud claims in the state. to give backup or instructions to republican-led state governments that they should falsify the election results in their state. they should throw out the election results in their state with the -- all the gravitas and authority and power of the u.s. justice department behind it. so it's first in the states. second at the u.s. justice department. and then there was the third level, which was the pressure on the vice president. they put enormous pressure on vice president mike pence to throw the count. to sabotage the actual count of the electoral college votes. refused to count the real electors from states where republicans say the result there is consent tested there for some reason in any of the states where they sent and forged, fake electors alongside the real ones. they'll say, that's enough of a dispute from the states th

. >> parabon started off by helping the u. s. military create dna profiles from the remains of insurgent bombmakers during the iraq war. it wasn't long before cold case detectives were sending them e-mails looking for help, as well. >> these investigations that we're working on, sometimes they've been cold for decades. in these cold cases, they're cold because there are no leads. and in a lot of cases that's because there's no witness description, and we're able to give them that just with the dna. >> from a single dna sample, parabon can make an estimation of someone's hair-color, eye-color and complexion. we hired parabon to test a sample of my dna. but we didn't tell them it was from me until this interview. >> i sent in my dna as a blind -- >> that was yours. >> that was mine, as a blind sample. you did not know whose dna we were sending in. >> no. we did not. >> parabon built a profile of me as if i were a random criminal suspect. >> so all we received was a dna vial labeled tr19411, and so these are the predictions that we
