Question: Iraq Executes 36 Accused Of Slaying More Than A Thousand Iraqi Soldiers

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

Iraq has executed 36 people accused of participating in the ISIS massacre of more than a thousand Iraqi troops in 2014. As NPR's Alison Meuse told our Newscast unit, that massacre happened when ISIS, a Sunni extremist group, overran a former U.S. military base called Camp Speicher. Here's more from Alison:  "[In 2014], ISIS separated the Sunnis from the Shiites, and massacred the latter. The group posted photos and videos of its victims, gunned down as they laid face down in shallow graves. Those graves were uncovered last year, when Iraqi troops and allied, Shiite-led paramilitaries drove ISIS from the area. Some 1,700 bodies were recovered."  The bodies were found at more than 10 different burial sites after Tikrit was retaken, as we reported. Iraq's Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi "had ordered the fast tracking of death sentences, despite international concerns over Iraq's judicial process," as Alison reported. She added that the "U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights warned against the move, citing U.N. findings on a lack of due process and a reliance on torture to extract confessions." Likewise, "some of the defendants said they had not been near Tikrit at the time of the massacre, while others said they had been denied access to lawyers, or had been forced to confess under torture," as the BBC reported. It added that those executed today are all thought to be Iraqis and received death sentences in February. As Reuters reported, "the government came under increased pressure from local Shi'ite politicians to execute militants sentenced to death after a massive bombing that targeted a shopping street in Baghdad on July 3, killing at least 324 people." The brutal massacre was the focus of a 2014 U.N. report, which as we reported, detailed a " 'staggering array' of possible war crimes and crimes against humanity by the self-declared Islamic State in Iraq, including mass executions, the kidnapping of women and girls to use as sex slaves and the use of child soldiers."

Question: Friday News Roundup - Domestic

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

With guest host John Donvan. The peregrinations of President Trump again lead the News Roundup this week. And there was a lot to cover. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday. In front of some skeptical senators, Pompeo suggested that the president had been tough on Russia.  But Pompeo wouldn’t cough up much about what happened during the meeting between Trump and President Putin. Earlier this week, one of our panelists suggested it was possible that Pompeo didn’t know what went down. Hear that entire conversation. And National Security Adviser John Bolton pushed back Putin’s invitation to Washington, an offer Trump extended last week. Bolton said he wanted the meeting to be after the Mueller probe concludes. The Trump administration was also on deadline Thursday to reunite the remaining 1,634 eligible children separated from their families at the border. But the key word there is eligible. From The New York Times:  At least 917 other parents were not cleared to recover their children this week because they failed criminal background or parental verification checks. About 460 others appeared to have been deported without their children, and the government has yet to find them. Their futures, along with those of about 37 children whose parents have not yet been identified, remain uncertain.  And in media news this week, CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins was denied access to a White House press event because administration officials considered her questions during an earlier pool spray to have been “inappropriate.” But Collins wasn’t just representing CNN when she was asking those questions. She was the pool reporter, meaning that she was responsible for newsgathering for all the television outlets — NBC, Fox News and CBS, among others. What does this mean for coverage going forward?

Question: Weekly Standard: A Model Intervention

Tod Lindberg, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and editor of Policy Review, is a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard. The U.S. ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder, and NATO's top military commander, U.S. Admiral James Stavridis, took to the pages of the latest Foreign Affairs for an unusual but deserved victory lap over the campaign that led to the fall of Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi. It was, the two argued, "a model intervention." They are right, it was. But with the carnage continuing in Homs and elsewhere as the Bashar Assad regime tries to crush the popular uprising threatening his hold on Syria, it seems that U.S. policy toward Syria has become a prisoner of our "model intervention" in Libya. If the purpose of U.S. policy in Syria is to prevent more slaughter of civilians, to give Assad a push out the door, and incidentally to deal Iran a major strategic setback, it's time to put aside the Libya "model." The political and diplomatic conditions under which the Libya intervention unfolded were all but uniquely favorable — the only other contender for the title would be that in which George H. W. Bush organized the intervention to eject Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in 1990-91. If we insist on duplicating the Libya model for intervention in Syria, Assad will have all the time he needs to wipe out the rebellion, at who knows what human cost. From the standpoint of international law and legitimacy, Libya had it all. First came U.N. Security Council Resolution 1970, unanimously adopted in Feb. 2011 as Qaddafi's repression against the nascent Libyan opposition began to intensify. It deplored Qaddafi's "gross and systematic violation of human rights" and demanded an end to the violence; imposed an arms embargo on the regime and a travel ban and asset freeze on Qaddafi and his closest cronies; and referred the situation to the International Criminal Court for investigation into atrocity crimes. It's likely that many hoped Resolution 1970 by itself would persuade Qaddafi to head for an exit. That hope was misplaced if not naïve, but the unanimous resolution paved the way for follow-up action once Qaddafi chose defiance. The Arab League, the regional organization whose secretary general had already announced the suspension of Libya's membership, in March took the unprecedented further step of calling on the Security Council to impose a no-fly zone. Though stopping well short of a call for international military action to aid in Qaddafi's overthrow, the Arab League request was a diplomatic milestone in establishing regional support for outside intervention against an Arab state. Meanwhile, France and Great Britain took the lead in calling for military action to save the imperiled Libyan opposition. Although the position of U.S. allies on point led one anonymous Obama administration official notoriously to dub the administration's posture "leading from behind," there likely were diplomatic advantages in having someone besides the United States as chief proponent of a new round of military intervention in the greater Middle East. Galvanized in part by the Arab League request, in part by the advance of Qaddafi's forces on the rebel stronghold in Benghazi and Qaddafi's rhetoric promising to destroy the resistance there, and in the last analysis by the Obama administration's eleventh-hour determination to press at the U.N. for a new resolution authorizing military action to protect the Libyan opposition from slaughter, the Security Council on March 17 passed Resolution 1973, citing the "need to protect" civilians from Qaddafi's forces and authorizing "all necessary measures." The Russians were skeptical and the Chinese wary, but neither chose to exercise their veto, instead abstaining. The prosecutor at the ICC, meanwhile, moving at record speed, on June 27 obtained a warrant for the arrest of Qaddafi, his son Saif, and his secret police chief on charges of crimes against humanity. In diplomatic circles in Washington and among allies, the ICC warrant served as a proxy delegitimizer for the Qaddafi regime overall, bridging the gap between the Security Council resolution authorizing civilian protection and the avowed goal of the United States, France, and Great Britain, namely, that Qaddafi must go. Then came the decision of NATO, the world's most powerful military alliance, to take charge of the operation. The result was a successful campaign in which France and Britain, among other allies, participated at a level some might have believed beyond their capabilities. It ended with Qaddafi dead and zero NATO casualties. One can certainly fault the Obama administration's decision to avoid obtaining congressional approval for the Libyan adventure, as well as the high-handed legal sophistry the administration employed to deny that its "limited military action" amounted to engagement in "hostilities." One could fairly say that the administration was more scrupulous about dotting the i's and crossing the t's on i

Question: Interviews: Saving the Marco Polo Sheep

Some have called George Schaller the globe's greatest living naturalist. Now a field biologist and vice president for the Wildlife Conservation Society's science and exploration program, he's been working for some 20 years to create international, trans-border wildlife reserves to provide vital corridors for endangered and threatened animal species — particularly the Marco Polo sheep. The species of sheep cling to existence in the mountainous regions along the borders of Pakistan, China, Tajikistan and Afghanistan — particularly an area called the Wakhan Corridor and the Pamir Mountains in far eastern Afghanistan, the meeting place of several of the greatest mountain ranges on Earth. Alex Chadwick recently spoke with Schaller about the unique species of sheep he's working to protect, and the incredible natural beauty of one of the globe's most inaccessible regions: Alex Chadwick: How did it get the name Pamir, do you know?  George Schaller: Pamir means "wide open valleys" — rangelands, basically. And the main part of the Pamir is high, rolling hills — 16,000 to 17,000 feet — with broad valleys. And it's the main home of the Marco Polo sheep, which was first described by Marco Polo in 1273. It's a sheep with the longest horns, and the world record — over the curve, it's 75 inches. Therefore it's been an almost mythical animal that trophy hunters and museum hunters wanted. A hunter may pay $20,000 to $25,000 to shoot one. And ideally, that money should go to conservation, and it should go to the local communities. Chadwick: Does it? Schaller: No. The local communities, they don't benefit in any real way, which means they don't feel they gain anything from having the Marco Polo sheep. Chadwick: How are things going in this Wakhan Corridor? Schaller: The two critical ones right now are Tajikistan and Afghanistan. We went with a photographer and writer, funded by the National Geographic [Society], to make a survey of the Afghan Marco Polo sheep. So we spent nearly two months — going by yak mostly, some by horse — up every valley, counting animals. And we saw about 625 total. So there is still a reasonable population which, if protected, will continue to exist. And Tajikistan, now, they, of course, have the most Marco Polo sheep — they have the biggest area. But there has been very little control there. You can buy Marco Polo sheep meat in the restaurants in town. Chadwick: You can? Schaller: Even though it's illegal. The officials hunt. The border guards hunt. The local people hunt for meat. So that will have to change — because numbers, according to everybody, are going down. But, you know, conservation in a final analysis comes down to involving the local people. So you want to get some sort of harmony between the local herdsmen and the wildlife and the rangelands. Chadwick: You were successful in getting a park in Pakistan, and the government in Pakistan did put that park there. Is it possible to deal with the Afghan government... in that way? Do they even really have authority over the Wakhan Corridor? Schaller: Afghan[istan] is very interested in conservation. And the Wildlife Conservation Society is planning a major effort there to help. That's one reason I'd like to get all four countries involved together around a table, and discuss trans-frontier issues. Ideally, you would have an International Pamir Peace Park, which simply means that countries share information. They cooperate on some things, like research and education. They will discuss where is the best way to set up strict reserves, hunting concessions, managing rangelands — all the different issues that you need to protect landscape for the benefit of the wildlife and the people. China is interested in hosting such a workshop, I hope next September. Chadwick: You mean... September 2006? Schaller: Right. Chadwick: You're hoping there will be a conference in China — participation from Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China. Schaller: Right. So right now I'm working at getting the relevant officials to agree to come, and what to discuss. Chadwick:  How do you get this issue onto the agenda of the governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan, whose border attentions these days are mostly focused on "Where is Osama bin Laden?" How do you get them to say: "Well, actually, we should be talking about Marco Polo sheep"? Schaller: Every country has officials who are generally concerned about the future of their country. A country doesn't have any future if it doesn't have an environment. So yes, there are officials in Kabul who are definitely interested. There are officials in Tajikistan. China is very concerned. Pakistan is already doing quite a bit in that area. You're dealing with people that actually want to do something, which makes one feel pleasurable. And aside from everything else, it's fun to watch the Marco Polo sheep. They're magnificent animals, the most magnificent of all sheep. And to see them particularly during late November and December

If you travel through Africa and speak with musicians, you'll encounter various accounts of reggae's African origins.  Perhaps only hip-hop boasts more claims of primal ownership on the continent. Whatever the factual basis of such stories, there remains little doubt that reggae is one of the most widely embraced musical genres in Africa today. Bands everywhere play it, even if it's not their principal style, and every major African city houses full-time reggae bands. Over the years, Africa has produced superstar reggae talent, as well, notably Alpha Blondy of Ivory Coast and the late Lucky Dube of South Africa.  Here are five glimpses into a genre that has gone far beyond imitation to take on a character and life of its own.

Question: 'Carrier' on PBS Profiles Life Aboard the USS Nimitz

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

For the thousands of sailors aboard the USS Nimitz, home is 24 stories high, three football fields long, moves at 35 miles per hour and carries 85 military aircraft. Carrier, a new 10-part PBS series, profiles the daily lives of the more than 5,000 men and women who keep the massive, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier running. There is an entire floating city — with stores and barber shops and rec rooms — underneath the airstrip. This city exists for the sailors who support the jets on the runway — from ocean navigators, to munitions experts, to secretaries, to cooks who churn out as many as 20,000 meals per day. Ted Branch, captain and commanding officer of the carrier, says, "The USS Nimitz is a fine ship ... a great one, but the heart and soul is not the steel, it's the crew." '24/7 in a High School' The 17-member PBS Carrier team spent six months aboard the USS Nimitz, chronicling events in the lives of young sailors who, while navigating the personal challenges of life far from home, work to launch pilots on missions over Iraq. "It truly is a high-stakes environment where literally one misstep can get you seriously injured — or worse," says executive producer/director Maro Chermayeff.  "At the same time, it's like living 24/7 in a high school. Many of the sailors are still teenagers. They form cliques, they gossip and they generally act like kids back home." Jeff Dupre, one of the producers of the series, says that six months on the carrier established a level of trust with the sailors and Marines. "We became part of the crew and people really sort of let their guard down," Dupre says. "We became friends with them and they trusted us. And after a while, they sort of just got used to us being around." Dupre also says that the series producers made an effort to focus on the men and women who perform the behind-the-scenes tasks on the carrier. "So often, programs about carriers and about the Navy are very much focused on the top gun pilots and on the admirals," Dupre says, "but we wanted to focus on the younger sailors and really hear from them." 'Not Your Average 9-to-5 Job' Filmmakers followed 24 men and women, including newly enlisted sailors and long-serving chiefs and fighter pilots, to get a glimpse of the monotony, intensity and expectations aboard the vast ship.  Some say they joined the Navy to stay out of trouble — the average age on the carrier is 19. Executive producer/director Chermayeff, former U.S. Navy serviceman Chris Altice, and U.S. Navy pilot Laurie Coffey talk with host Neal Conan about daily life on the USS Nimitz during the course of a controversial war. "These young sailors and Marines are saddled with tremendous responsibilities," says Chermayeff, "loading bombs on jets and launching pilots on high-stakes missions over Iraq. Not your average 9-to-5 job."

Question: Q&A: Blocks, Play, Screen Time And The Infant Mind

Our "Tools of the Trade" series is taking a look at some of the iconic objects that form a vital part of our educational lives. For an upcoming piece, I'm reporting on how young children learn through that most basic of preschool education tools: simple wooden blocks. Dr. Dimitri Christakis  has done extensive research on blocks and play, and has lectured on media and children. He is the director of the Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development at Seattle Children's Research Institute. He's also a pediatrician at Seattle Children's Hospital and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. We talked about the way young children learn and how their minds develop. He's not against digital education tools, but he says they have to be the right kind and age-appropriate. He is raising alarms that Americans are over-charging their infant's developing brains. In a broad sense, your research seems to point to the fact that over-stimulation in children's brains is having a negative effect when it comes to fast-paced media. Is that accurate? Right. Our brains evolved over millennia to process things that happen in real time. And by definition, anything that happens in the real world happens in real time. It wasn't really until the advent of modern media that we were able to speed things up and make them happen at a pace that is surreal. And even early media didn't do that. That's a relatively new phenomenon. In the case of infants, there was no infant television viewing prior to about 10 years ago. And we've seen an explosion since then. Today, 90 percent of children watch TV on a regular basis before the age of 2 — in spite of the fact that the American Academy of Pediatrics advises strongly against that. And they do that, in a sense, and displace activities they previously did. In research we've done, the typical preschool child in the United States watches about 4 1/2 hours of television a day, and they're only awake for about 12 hours a day. So somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of their time is spent in front of a screen, [raising] the question of what are they not doing that they would otherwise be doing? What activities are being displaced? And much of those activities are traditional means of interacting with the environment and with adults. And blocks are a classic example of that. Four-and-a-half hours a day! That's from research you guys have done, or others have? No, it's from research we've done. It combines screen time at home and screen time in day care. Most of the studies to date have asked parents about how much their children watch at home. And, of course, most children in the United States are cared for during the day outside of their home. So you're missing all of that time. In fact, in the average home-based day care, children watch an additional two hours a day. That seems alarming. And the idea that for an infant, lots of television and all the digital media options really are only a phenomenon of the last 10, 12 years? That's right. Can you compare children's television as it first started out versus what it is today? Are we getting that much more fast-paced? Are we getting much more digitally distracted? We are. The pacing of all programs, both adult and child, has sped up considerably. Part of the reason for that is that the more rapidly sequenced the scenes, the more distracting it is. It's taxing to the brain to process things that happen so fast even though we're capable of doing it. And there's emerging science now in older children that watching such fast-paced programs diminishes what we call "executive function" immediately afterward. It tires the mind out and makes it not function as well immediately after viewing it. It makes the mind not function as well in what sense? In making decisions? Processing information? Processing information. The evaluations that are done afterward are of one's executive function, which is the measurement of high cortical functioning — things like remembering sequences of numbers, which requires you to concentrate. We see that after watching fast-paced shows, at least immediately afterward, children don't function as well. We don't see that with things like block play, reading or drawing, all of which happen in real time. You did a randomized trial on building blocks, and you linked it to language assessment. Tell us about that. In that experiment, we took 200 children, from a low-income environment, and we randomized them to two groups. One group got a set of large building blocks, that are intended for young children, at the beginning of study. And one got them at the end of the study, six months later. In the group that got the blocks at the beginning, we also gave parents a list of what we call "blocktivities." So these were simple ways to play with your child with blocks: stack the blocks, sort the blocks, divide them by color, etc. We had them keep daily diaries so we know how many kids played with blocks i

Question: System Sees Rise in Medicare Drug Prices, Profits

As debate continues over whether the U.S. government should negotiate directly with drug makers over Medicare drug prices, we measure how well Americans have been served by the market so far.  Medicare drug prices and premiums have gone up during the first year of the benefit, as have profits for drug companies and insurers. The new Democratic majority in Congress has promised to enable the government to negotiate Medicare drug prices with manufacturers.   Currently, the law expressly forbids the government to do that.  President Bush says he would veto the change, because, he says, competition among private insurers lowers drug prices more effectively than government negotiation could. MELISSA BLOCK, host:  The incoming Democratic majority in Congress has promised to authorize the government to negotiate Medicare drug prices with manufacturers. Currently, the law expressly forbids the government to do that. The White House opposes the change, arguing that competition among private insurers lowers drug prices far more effectively than government negotiation could. NPR's Snigdha Prakash reports on what effect competition has had so far.  SNIGDHA PRAKASH: One way of judging whether seniors have been getting a good deal on their Medicare drugs is to look at how much money drug-makers are making on those drugs. Richard Evans, pharmaceutical analyst at Sanford Bernstein and Company says the new drug benefit has added between 1 and 1.5 percent to the industry's profits, or about $2 billion. That's mostly because companies can now charge the government higher prices for drugs used by the millions of people who get both Medicare and Medicaid, the government's medical program for the poor.  Until this year, Medicaid paid for their drugs. Now, Evans says, Medicare's Part D Program does.  Mr. RICHARD EVANS (Sanford Bernstein and Company): In Medicaid, discounts that the industry provided were about 30 percent, maybe a little bit higher. The Part D, the discounts are in the neighborhood of 10 percent.  PRAKASH: So, as those patients went from Medicaid to Medicare, the drug industry got a hefty price increase. The group Families USA measures the performance of private insurers another way. It compared how prices on the 20 drugs most frequently prescribed to seniors changed over six months, from November 2005, when seniors were choosing their Medicare plans to April of this year. The group's executive director, Ron Pollock, says virtually all the Medicare Part D insurers raised prices during that time.  Mr. RON POLLOCK (Executive Director, Families USA): For Fosamax, used for osteoporosis, 99 percent of the plans increased their prices. For Lipitor, more than 97 percent of the plans increased their prices.  PRAKASH: The median price increase, Pollock says, was about 4 percent, far outpacing the increase in the Consumer Price Index during the same time.  Mr. POLLOCK: And what that means is that seniors who live on a fixed budget and their Social Security checks only go up with inflation, these prices of drugs are rising quite a bit fast and so, over time, it means that these drug prices will be increasingly unaffordable.  PRAKASH: The insurers raised prices for seniors because the drug companies were charging more. Historically, price increases have accounted for almost half of the drug industry's profit growth. David Sho(ph), head of health-care research at the Prudential Equity Group, says the government is to blame for the fact that private insurers didn't get a better deal on Medicare drugs.  Mr. DAVID SHO (Head of Health-care Research, Prudential Equity Group): The government isn't really, really, really trying to save money, and it hasn't given the tools to the insurance industry to really, really save money.  The way you save money in health care is by limiting choice.  PRAKASH: That is by telling seniors the program will cover a very short list of drugs so that no matter who's negotiating, private insurers or the government, drug-makers are motivated to cut their prices to get on that list. Regardless, drug-industry analysts like Richard Evans are betting that the escalating cost of the Medicare drug program will force the next administration, Republican or Democrat, to negotiate lower drug prices.

Question: Tougher Laws On Pipeline Protests Face Test In Louisiana

After a high-profile campaign to oppose the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016, a number of states moved to make it harder to protest oil and gas projects. Now in Louisiana, the first felony arrests of protesters could be a test case of these tougher laws as opponents vow a legal challenge.   The controversy here is over the Bayou Bridge Pipeline, the last leg of the Dakota Access. If completed, it will bring crude oil from the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota, through Louisiana, where it will be exported abroad.  On a recent day, deep in the Atchafalaya swamp of South Louisiana, twigs snap under the rubber boots of about 40 protesters as they march through shaded woods. Many have tied bandannas around their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed. In the distance, backhoes fling mud as construction workers clear a path for the new Bayou Bridge Pipeline.  "Y'all are trespassing!" a construction worker shouts.  "Go home!" a protester yells back. After a few minutes, the construction workers shut off their equipment and the protesters celebrate. But later, things get heated after the sheriff's department shows up. A deputy pins one woman to the ground, and the two sides engage in a muddy tug of war until she tumbles free.  It's incidents like this that have helped push lawmakers to take action. Earlier this year, Louisiana state Rep. Major Thibaut proposed a bill with stricter penalties for pipeline protesters. "You know that there's a right way to do things and a wrong way," Thibaut told a state legislative committee. "And if you want to protest against something ... get your permit and you go do it in a legal fashion." Trespassing in Louisiana is normally a misdemeanor offense. But the new law deems oil and gas pipelines to be "critical infrastructure," a classification that includes places like nuclear plants, oil refineries and water treatment facilities. As of Aug. 1, trespassing near oil and gas pipelines in the state is now a felony offense, with a possible sentence of up to five years in prison.   Several states have either passed or are considering similar laws, including Oklahoma, Iowa and Pennsylvania. The oil and gas industry is a big part of many states' economies, including Louisiana. Craig Stevens, who represents pipeline interests with Grow America's Infrastructure Now, says these new laws will help ensure pipelines are not delayed and will also help keep both workers and protesters safe.  "It wasn't too long ago when there were, I think, four protesters that broke through and tried to penetrate, and actually did pierce a pipeline up in the Midwest," he says.  "And they used blowtorches. I mean that's the type of thing could actually explode and kill somebody."   There were two such cases, and in both the pipelines were empty at the time. Pipeline opponents say more than 10 people have been arrested under Louisiana's stricter law. Journalist Karen Savage captured the first arrests on video, which shows several security officers pulling three protesters from kayaks onto an airboat. Those arrested said they didn't think they were doing anything illegal since they were on water, which is considered public property. "It's a ridiculous over-criminalization of people who protest," says Bill Quigley, a law professor at Loyola University in New Orleans who represents protesters here and in other states.   Quigley calls the new law unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds, and he says he plans to challenge it in court. He hopes doing so will encourage other states to walk back their own laws.  So far, it's not clear whether the local district attorney will prosecute those charged with felonies. But at the Bayou Bridge protest, anti-pipeline organizer Cherri Foytlin says she and others won't be deterred.  "I hope to God no more felonies," she says. "But if there is, then they will be righteous ones." The next day, Foytlin and three others were also arrested.

Question: Irish Bailout? EU Says It's A Must

European Union finance ministers are urging Ireland to accept a rescue plan to stabilize the country's worsening financial problems. The Irish government bailed out the country's banks which lost money on bad loans, and now the country is struggling to pay its own bills. Sound familiar? Check today's column from MarketWatch's Peter Atwater:  Several months ago, I was asked why, with the exception of Northern  Rock, there have been no bank runs. In response, I offered: ‘If  governments learned anything from the Great Depression it was how to  manage troubled banks. But I also suggested that governments around the  globe, by stepping in so aggressively [with guarantees], may inspire not  bank runs, but country runs. In our one-click world, money can move not  just out of banking institutions but out of entire nations. We have  already seen at least one example of this. Iceland.  Atwater's column ('Why Ireland's Troubles Matter To You') opens with observations in a column he published in Feb. 2009 about Iceland's scary debt woes. Today, Reuters reports investors are worried about Ireland, and Iceland, and Greece and other EU countries such as Portugal and Spain - and maybe more than that. The South African BusinessReport frets about the effect on the rand:  The cost of debt rose in Spain and Portugal yesterday because of  problems that surfaced in Ireland at the weekend. ... If the situation in Ireland is not soon resolved, the contagion will spread as it did in the southeast Asian crisis of 1997/98. South Africa and other emerging markets will feel the fallout.  The AP reports the International Monetary Fund says it's ready to help, too. RANGEL LEARNS PUNISHMENT TOMORROW The House Ethics Committee will determine how to sanction N.Y. Rep. Charles Rangel for breaking House rules. The Washington Post reports the panel will send the New York Democrat's case to the full Ethics Committee for 'sentencing'. Our Political Junkie, NPR's Ken Rudin, reviews Rangel's 'puzzling' performance before the panel but suspects his punishment will be a reprimand or rebuke. CHOLERA TURNS UP IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC The BBC cites DR officials who say a Haitian citizen who vacationed in Haiti, returned to the Dominican Republic with the illness. He's a construction worker, according to DominicanToday, a legal Dominican Republic resident and is now being treated in Higuey. Cholera has killed more than 1,000 people in Haiti and some blame U.N. peacekeepers for bringing the disease; there've been riots. Aid groups, including the U.N, suspended relief supplies (like tons of badly needed soap) to protect workers. Haitian President Rene Preval sternly ordered Haitians to remain calm.

Question: Turkey Arrests Migrants After Agreement With European Union

Turkish authorities rounded up some 1,300 migrants on Monday whom they said were planning to sail to Greece. The crackdown came a day after Turkey reached an agreement with the leaders from the European Union to stem the flow of migrants. Under the terms of the deal, the E.U. will provide three billion euros, or $3.2 billion dollars, in aid for the approximately 2.2 million Syrian refugees in Turkey. In addition, Turkish citizens could be allowed to travel visa-free in Europe as early as October 2016. And talks on Turkey potentially joining the European Union will be restarted. In return, Europe wants Turkish coast guards to intercept more migrants at sea. E.U. leaders also want to impose more order on the migration process, by having potential migrants interviewed in Turkey to see if they qualify for asylum status. And they want those already in Europe who are deemed not to qualify for refugee protections to be quickly returned to Turkey. It is unclear to what extent Turkey can significantly cut down on the migrant flows to Europe. According to estimates from the the International Migration Organization, the number of migrants arriving by sea has reached 750,000 this year. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu cautioned after the deal was announced that the crisis would continue until the Syrian civil war abated.

Question: Why Some Diversity Thinkers Aren't Buying The Tech Industry's Excuses

The thing about the tech industry and employee diversity reports is they can feel like Groundhog Day:  Google, 2014: "Put simply, Google is not where we want to be when it comes to diversity." Google, 2016: "We saw encouraging signs of progress in 2015, but we're still far from where we need to be." Facebook, 2014: "We have more work to do — a lot more. But the good news is that we've begun to make progress." Facebook, 2015: "While we have achieved positive movement over the last year, it's clear to all of us that we still aren't where we want to be. There's more work to do." Facebook, 2016: "We still have a long way to go, but as we continue to strive for greater change, we are encouraged by positive hiring trends."  It's certainly commendable that tech giants have gotten in the habit of airing their diversity efforts and commitment to doing better. But the numbers show that actual progress in hiring more underrepresented minorities — for tech, that's black, Latino and female — seems to be stuck in neutral. This month, Google said its total U.S. workforce in 2015 was 2 percent black and 3 percent Hispanic — unchanged from the year before. Women comprised 31 percent of all Google employees globally, up from 30 percent in 2014. Facebook issued a strikingly similar report: Of its overall U.S. workforce, 2 percent of workers were black, and 4 percent were Hispanic — also unchanged from the previous year. Women accounted for 33 percent of global employees, up from 32 percent. The numbers didn't surprise many — both companies are heavy ships, and can't be expected to rotate in a year. But Facebook's diagnosis of the underlying problem raised eyebrows:  "It has become clear that at the most fundamental level, appropriate representation in technology or any other industry will depend upon more people having the opportunity to gain necessary skills through the public education system."  The "pipeline" argument — that there are simply not enough properly skilled minorities for hire — has troubled diversity experts in Silicon Valley for years. "It's always been a cop-out," says Kalimah Priforce, who runs Oakland-based Qeyno Labs, which organizes hackathons targeted at minority youth. "The pipeline has a bias. ... Their version of the pipeline is what's creating the outcome that we see." The numbers A Facebook spokeswoman tells NPR that the education angle was never meant as an excuse for the existing demographics. Rather, it's a reflection of the company's focus on the comprehensive change needed to chip away at the years-old systemic racism that's reflected not just in the tech sector but in business in general, she says. (Facebook pays NPR and other news organizations to produce live videos for its site.) Engineering and computer science degrees, of course, are far from an exact measure of competency for jobs at tech companies, but that's one element that can be quantitatively analyzed. According to National Science Foundation data, black or African-American students received more than 8 percent of bachelor's degrees in science and engineering in 2012, virtually unchanged over a decade. Hispanic or Latino students received almost 10 percent of such degrees, rising steadily from about 7 percent in 2012. Women received just over half of science and engineering bachelor's degrees in 2012, having risen over the years, according to the NSF report. But women's share of bachelor's degrees in math and computer sciences has declined to about a quarter since peaking at nearly 40 percent in the mid-'80s. A USA Today analysis in 2014 found that "top universities turn out black and Hispanic computer science and computer engineering graduates at twice the rate the leading technology companies hire them."   And as of that year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reported that the high-tech sector (broader than just Silicon Valley) employed a larger share of whites, Asians and men, and a smaller share of African-Americans, Hispanics and women than the "overall private industry." "This is a multifaceted problem. ... But when you hear these inane kind of platitudes and then pushing the responsibility off to the pipeline, it's insulting," says Catherine Bracy, co-founder of the Oakland TechEquity Collaborative and former community organizer at Code for America. "The fact that you can't hire people into nontechnical roles, how do you account for that?" (At Facebook and Google, women were on roughly equal footing with men in nontechnical jobs, though black and Hispanic workers remained in single-digit percentages.) "These are people in companies that have been wildly successful obviously," Bracy says, "and they can't imagine that there's something that they're doing that might be contributing to a negative outcome. So if what they're trying isn't working, it must be something else that's broken, not internally." "Not a feelings problem" Much has been said and written about the "bro culture" stereotype associated with the

Vallecilla and her children, ages 5 to 16, fled Honduras with hopes shared by many Central Americans. "I just want an opportunity for my children," she said. "I want them to have an education, a home, and I want to make money so they never go hungry — things we need badly in Honduras." Finances and education were not the only reasons for leaving. Vallecilla also worries for the family\'s safety in Honduras, which is grappling with one of the world\'s highest rates of violent crime. "I worked in a factory, and on days we got paid, guys would often follow me home and rob me. I\'d get home scared and with no way to feed my kids," she said. "We mothers go out to work and don\'t know if we\'ll make it back home to our children." A scramble across the river Fleeing north seemed to be their only option. A week ago, Vallecilla and her children joined up with thousands of other migrants in a loosely organized caravan and made their way — on foot and hitching rides on the highway — through Guatemala. On Monday morning, the caravan approached the Guatemalan side of a bridge at the Suchiate River, which runs along the Mexican border. They read aloud a letter asking the Mexican government to let them continue their journey to the U.S. Mexican migration officials said they couldn\'t pass and should hand themselves over to process immigration or asylum claims to be in Mexico. But more than 1,000 migrants from the caravan who had handed themselves in days before would likely be deported, Mexico\'s National Migration Institute said. Rather than cross the bridge, Vallecilla, her children and hundreds more migrants lwalked down to the Suchiate and waded across the river, which was running low. On the Mexican side, hundreds of National Guard troops in riot gear were waiting. The scattered migrants tried to run around them, but the troops chased them down. Using tear gas and riot shields, the troops pushed the migrants back toward the river. Migrants threw rocks and sticks. Troops threw rocks back. Parents shielded their children and ran. Amid the chaos, Vallecilla and her children managed to get around the National Guard. Along with almost 100 other migrants, they started walking north on a small highway. "It was so hot and I was sick from the heat, so a man [another migrant] offered to carry my daughter" — 5-year-old Andrea, she said. It was a relief for Vallecilla. They walked north, almost 4 miles, she estimates. "And then I turned around and there were all these police coming at us," she said. Mexican federal police, the army and migration agents chased them down. The panicked migrants scattered. "The guy [with my daughter] ran and I ran after him," she said. "But then I looked and [Mexican migration] agents had grabbed my other three children. I was yelling at the guy [with Andrea] to stop." A hand grabbed Vallecilla\'s arm — it was another migration agent. "I screamed, \'Please, let me go, that\'s my daughter there,\' " she said. "She was just right there, still close to me. But he wouldn\'t let me go." The man carrying Andrea was among the many migrants who disappeared into the forest. Vallecilla believes the man ran out of fear of being detained, not in an attempt to take her daughter. Dozens of detained migrants were loaded onto buses to a detention center. Vallecilla was the last taken away. "Please, please help me find my baby," she sobbed. Migration agents pulled the inconsolable mother into a van, taking her and three of her children to the local prosecutor\'s office. On Tuesday morning, Vallecilla sent NPR voice messages. "I just need someone to help me find my baby. [The authorities] are not helping me," she said. "I don\'t want my daughter to be just another statistic of disappeared children. ... I feel like I\'m going to die." Late Tuesday, Vallecila contacted NPR to say she had been reunited with Andrea, who was unharmed. Tougher stance This week\'s caravan was one of the latest to try to pass through Mexico to the U.S. in recent years. They have drawn wide attention, prompting the Trump administration to seek stricter U.S. asylum rules and to pressure Mexico and its neighbors to toughen up their own immigration enforcement. In June 2019, Trump threatened to impose punishing tariffs on Mexico if it didn\'t do more to stop migrants. The following month, Mexico detained the highest number of migrants it had in more than a decade. Mexico detained 151,547 Central American migrants from January to November 2019, according to the latest data available from the Mexican government, compared with 131,445 in all of 2018. The Mexican government appeared to work harder this time to stop the caravan.

Question: Trump Organization Cuts Ties To Controversial SoHo Hotel

The Trump Organization is severing ties with the controversial Trump SoHo building in New York City. The development, which is a hybrid hotel-condominium building where owners of units can only live in their properties for a certain amount of time each year, has the potential to be a thorn in the side of President Trump — linking him to murky financing arrangements, allegations of fraud and a Russian-born developer with a criminal past. The skyscraper has been one of the Trump Organization's many business interests. When Trump was elected president last year, ethics experts urged him to sell off his private holdings to avoid distractions and conflicts of interest. Instead, Trump moved his businesses into a revocable trust, managed by his two older sons. Trump is the sole beneficiary of the trust. And the building's history — which NPR explored in a recent episode of the Embedded podcast — has repeatedly drawn controversy, including a lawsuit alleging fraud and shady financing. On Wednesday, Trump International Hotels Management and the board of the Trump SoHo Condominium New York said in a press release that they would wind down the Trump Organization's involvement by the end of the year. The announcement did not specify what led to this move. The unexpected end of the business relationship with the SoHo development comes as Trump's financial ties are reportedly being investigated by Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller in connection with a larger probe into Russian election interference last year and its possible links to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The Trumps do not own the hotel, but the Trump Organization has managed it and been paid for licensing the Trump name. Donald Trump had personally announced the project on a 2006 episode of his TV show The Apprentice and three of his children — Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric — led its development. The hotel opened in 2010. As NPR has reported, the project made news from the very beginning: from the discovery of a burial vault on the construction site to a heated standoff with the neighborhood and a grisly death of a construction worker. One particularly sensitive matter involved one of the SoHo developers, called Bayrock, which has been accused of being a money-laundering operation used to conceal transfers of illicit funds from overseas, according to a lawsuit by Bayrock's former finance director. Bayrock has denied the allegations. The project was also sued by some of the early buyers of its condos, who said they were misled about many of the units were sold. Trump later settled the suit, returning nearly all of their down-payments. ELISE HU, HOST:  The Trump Organization said today it's cutting ties with one of its New York City hotel properties. The 46-story Trump SoHo has been plagued by questions about its financing from the time it was completed in 2008. And since the election, there have been signs its revenues have fallen. NPR's Jim Zarroli reports. JIM ZARROLI, BYLINE: The company said it would sever its contract with the California firm that owns most of the hotel by the end of this year. The Trump Organization doesn't own the property itself. But it manages the hotel, and it gets paid a price for the use of the Trump brand name. The building is a hybrid hotel-condo located near the upscale neighborhood of SoHo. Investors are allowed to live in the units for part of the year, but mostly the units are rented out as hotel rooms. The Trump SoHo was opened in a flurry of publicity. Trump himself announced the project on an episode of "The Apprentice." (SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "THE APPRENTICE") PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Located in the center of Manhattan's chic artist enclave, the Trump International Hotel and Tower in SoHo is the site of my latest development. ZARROLI: But the hotel faced strong opposition from neighborhood groups, and questions were raised about Bayrock, the firm that co-developed it. Among the principals of that firm was Felix Sater, a Russian-born former felon with ties to organized crime. A lawsuit filed by one of the firm's executives alleged that Bayrock was kept alive by money laundering and tax evasion. Trump himself was also sued by some of the building's buyers who said he had misrepresented the number of units sold. Trump later settled the suits, giving the buyers back nearly all of their money. After the real estate crash, Bayrock defaulted on a loan and was forced to give up the building, but Trump's name stayed on it. In recent years, there have been signs the property has struggled financially. Only a small number of the units have been sold to investors, and the main restaurant closed earlier this year. The restaurant's lawyers say it had struggled since Trump's election. More recently, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia and money laundering by Trump associates, and that has focused new attention on the property.

Question: Why Do We Like What We Like?

Part 2 of the TED Radio Hour episode Brand Over Brain. About Paul Bloom's TED Talk Why do we like an original painting better than a perfect forgery? Psychologist Paul Bloom argues that our beliefs about the history of an object change how we experience it. About Paul Bloom  Paul Bloom is a professor of psychology and cognitive science at Yale University. He's author of the book How Pleasure Works, where he explores the primal (and sometimes pretentious) enjoyment that people get from food, art, and sex. His latest book, Just Babies, examines the nature and origins of good and evil. GUY RAZ, HOST:  It's the TED Radio Hour from NPR. I'm Guy Raz. And today's show - ideas around the power of brand over brain and why, as we heard a few minutes ago, most of us are completely convinced that Coca-Cola tastes better than RC or the Safeway brand. PAUL BLOOM: And it does. Perrier tastes better than regular water so long as you know it's Perrier. I think in general our experiences are modulated, not just by our senses, but by our beliefs. RAZ: This is Paul Bloom. BLOOM: I'm a professor of psychology and cognitive science at Yale University. RAZ: And a lot of his work is focused on how human beings decide what's valuable and what isn't. BLOOM: Someone isn't mistaken when they pay extra money for the better-known brand because it might lead to extra pleasure. RAZ: But how do we decide? I mean, how do we decide what has value? BLOOM: So you could value things for different reasons. You could value them because of their utility, what they could do for you. You know, so golf clubs can - you play golf with them. You know, a suit, you could wear. But things get value in other ways as well. And often, they get value because of their history. So the golf clubs, if they were owned by John F. Kennedy, would sell for a lot. If the suit is an Armani suit, you might rather have it than if it's from a no-name brand, even if you know consciously that it's the same kind of suit, the same quality. And so we get pleasure from - sometimes from knowing what something is and knowing where it came from. And our experience is transformed in that way. RAZ: When he spoke on the TED stage, Paul Bloom opened with a story about origins and why they matter. (SOUNDBITE OF TED TALK) BLOOM: I'm going to talk today about the pleasures of everyday life. But I want to begin with a story of an unusual and terrible man. This is Hermann Goering. Goering was Hitler's second-in-command in World War II, his designated successor. And like Hitler, Goering fancied himself a collector of art. He went through Europe, through World War II stealing, extorting and occasionally buying various paintings for his collection. And what he really wanted was something by Vermeer. Hitler had two of them, and he didn't have any. So he finally found an art dealer, a Dutch art dealer named Han van Meegeren who sold him a wonderful Vermeer for the cost of what would now be $10 million. And it was his favorite artwork ever. World War II came to an end, and Goering was captured, tried at Nuremberg and ultimately sentenced to death. Then the Allied forces went through his collections and found the paintings and went after the people who sold it to him and arrested van Meegeren. Van Meegeren was charged with the crime of treason, which is itself punishable by death. Six weeks into his prison sentence, van Meegeren confessed. But he didn't confess to treason. He said, I did not sell a great masterpiece to that Nazi. I painted it myself. I'm a forger. (LAUGHTER) BLOOM: And he said, I'll prove it. Bring me a canvas and some paint, and I will paint a Vermeer much better than I sold that disgusting Nazi. I also need alcohol and morphine 'cause it's the only way I can work. (LAUGHTER) BLOOM: So they brought him in. He painted the beautiful Vermeer. And then he had - the charges of treason were dropped. He had a lesser charge of forgery, got a year sentence and died a hero to the Dutch people. But I want to turn now to Goering, who is pictured here being interrogated at Nuremberg. Now, Goering was, by all accounts, a terrible man. Even for a Nazi, he was a terrible man. But you could feel sympathy for the reaction he had when he was told that his favorite painting was actually a forgery. According to his biographer, he looked as if for the first time he had discovered there was evil on Earth. (LAUGHTER) BLOOM: That just says something so amazing about the human mind. No other creature works that way. No other creature cares so much about history and branding and essence. RAZ: Yeah. It's like that bourbon Pappy Van Winkle. Have you heard of this? BLOOM: I have not. RAZ: Yeah. They make, like, a very limited number of bottles. And it's this very, like, coveted item. And I had a tiny taste of it once, and, you know, it's just some very strong-tasting alcohol. BLOOM: With a great name. Happy Van Winkle. RAZ: Pappy Van Winkle. BLOOM: Oh, Pappy Van Winkle. RAZ: Pappy Van Winkle. Yes. BLOOM: Even

Question: Maine Court Sets $25,000 Bail For 'North Pond Hermit'

Christopher Knight, whose 27 years of living in near-total isolation in Maine's wilderness made him an object of fascination after he was arrested for stealing food and supplies, appeared by video for a court hearing Tuesday, when a Kennebec County judge set his bail at $25,000 cash. Knight's arrest last week put him in the spotlight, after news spread of his years of living alone in the woods. A stranger offered to pay his $5,000 bail — an offer he rejected. He also attracted a marriage proposal. Authorities had initially sought to raise his bail to $250,000 as a way, they said, to shield him from attempts to exploit him. The offer to pay his bail had come from out of state. After his arrest, Knight told police that he had only spoken to one person since 1986, according to The Kennebec Journal. The newspaper reports that Knight's mother, who still lives in their family home in Maine, is making arrangements to see her son. He is believed to have disappeared when he was about 19. "Authorities have said Knight may have been responsible for as many as 1,000 burglaries during his decades in seclusion," the AP reports, "breaking into cottages for food, cooking gear, sleeping bags, tents and other goods to help him survive. Knight has not formally entered a plea but authorities said he's admitted to a handful of burglaries." During those years, locals nicknamed Knight the North Pond Hermit. But it seems that he has adapted to life in jail, The Kennebec Journal reports. "He's smiling, pleasant," the paper quotes District Attorney Maeghan Maloney as saying. "He's a very humble man."

This week, armed Iranian boats tried to seize a British oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, according to U.S. officials. CNN reports:  The Iranians ordered the tanker to change course and stop in nearby Iranian territorial waters, according to the officials. A US aircraft was overhead and recorded video of the incident, though CNN has not seen the footage. A British Ministry of Defense source told CNN that it “appeared that the Iranian vessels were trying to divert the Heritage from international to Iranian waters” before the British Navy ship HMS Montrose “got between them and issued a verbal warning to withdraw.”  That’s only one reason Iran has been under scrutiny this week. In Vienna, the U.S. presented a case before the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to punish Iran for breaking certain terms of the 2015 nuclear deal. Many U.N. countries pushed back against the U.S. position, including Russia, Germany and the U.K. Meanwhile, British ambassador to the U.S. Kim Darroch has vacated his post after heightened criticism by President Trump. According to leaked memos, Darroch disparaged the Trump administration as “inept,” prompting the president to call Darroch a “pompous fool” with whom he would no longer work. “It could have been any of us,” one anonymous ambassador told The New York Times. We’re also following the results of the Greek election, the health of German chancellor Angela Merkel and the alleged end of Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam’s extradition bill.
