Question: Trump Administration Threatens Even Higher Tariffs On China

President Trump is ratcheting up trade tensions with China, threatening to increase proposed tariffs on Chinese imports from 10 percent to 25 percent. The higher tariffs, which would apply to some $200 billion in Chinese imports identified by the administration last month, represent an effort to get Beijing to address longstanding unfair trade practices, officials say. "The Trump Administration continues to urge China to stop its unfair practices, open its market and engage in true market competition," said U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer in a statement. He said the president had asked him to consider increasing the proposed tariffs. "We have been very clear about the specific changes China should undertake. Regrettably, instead of changing its harmful behavior, China has illegally retaliated against U.S. workers, farmers, ranchers and businesses," Lighthizer said. Chinese officials said they were prepared to retaliate again with higher tariffs of their own. "U.S. pressure and blackmail won't have an effect. If the United States takes further escalatory steps, China will inevitably take countermeasures and we will resolutely protect our legitimate right," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a press conference Wednesday. The higher tariffs are not a done deal. Officials say there will be a comment period for businesses and people affected by the tariffs. Still, the administration's threats represent a significant escalation of trade tensions with China. "I think it is a very serious situation. I think it would be a very complicated thing to get out of, because I don't see an easy remedy once we go down this path," said Michael Camuñez, president and CEO of Monarch Global Strategies and former U.S. assistant secretary of commerce for market access during the Obama administration. Camuñez notes that the Trump administration has given mixed signals about how tough it's willing to be with China, and that has complicated efforts to resolve the conflict. While Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has attempted to work out a deal with Beijing, other officials such as Lighthizer have taken a much tougher stance, he says. "There are folks in the White House that really think the best approach to China is a very aggressive one, and that position clearly seems to be prevailing," Camuñez says.

Michael Oren's Power, Faith, and Fantasy explores the history of America's political, military, and intellectual involvement in the Middle East from George Washington to George W. Bush.

For well over two centuries, American statesmen, merchants, and missionaries, both men and women, have had a profound impact on the shaping of this crucial region. Drawing on government documents and personal letters, featuring original maps and over 60 photographs, this book reconstructs the diverse and remarkable ways in which Americans have interacted with this alluring yet often hostile land stretching from Morocco to Iran, from the Persian Gulf to the Bosporus. Covering over 230 years of history, Oren's latest is an indispensable work for anyone interested in understanding the roots of America's Middle East involvement today.

Oren is a Senior Fellow at the Shalem Center; a visiting professor at Harvard and Yale Universities; and the author of the best-selling Six Days of War. Oren lives in Jerusalem.

Question: U.S. Spending In Afghanistan Often Unaccounted For

The U.S. has spent billions of dollars on reconstruction projects in Afghanistan, much of it on private contractors who do everything from train Afghan security forces to build schools. These projects are crucial to the U.S. counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan. Now more than eight years into the war, the government office in charge of tracking these projects has issued its first major report. The conclusion is that billions of dollars have been spent, but no one knows for sure what that money has bought. Better Tracking System Between 2007 and 2009, the U.S. government paid $18 billion to roughly 7,000 contractors doing reconstruction in Afghanistan. Patrick Peterson, who wrote the report for the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, says the big problem is that the agencies doling out those funds -- mainly the Pentagon and the State Department -- don't have a clear way to track this kind of spending. "There are contractors who provide food and meal service for our troops – that's not easily distinguishable from a contract say to build a road in Afghanistan, conduct a police training or conduct an anti-drug operation in Afghanistan," Peterson says. "That's the challenge." Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies says this is no obscure accounting challenge. The U.S. contracting problems in Afghanistan have huge consequences for the U.S. military strategy. "Has it seriously jeopardized our ability to win the war? The answer is yes," he says. Not being able to track reconstruction dollars means not knowing if projects designed to win over the Afghan people are working. Counterproductive Reconstruction Efforts At the same time, lax U.S. contracting rules have, in some ways, actually fueled parts of the insurgency, Cordesman says. "You don't know whether the money is being used by power brokers or corrupt officials or people who are using it to build up local power or, for that matter, simply to pay off the Taliban and other insurgents," he says. The reports issued this week by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction are the first to give a comprehensive look at how all contracting dollars are being spent. The big question is why it's taken so long. "This might have been excusable going into Afghanistan in 2002," Cordesman says. "We had no real experience in doing anything like this. More than eight years later, there's absolutely no conceivable excuse." Congress didn't pass legislation creating the Afghanistan Inspector General's office until 2008. Now that the office is up and running, it's produced a report that says the reconstruction records are so bad that it's almost impossible to review them. A Broken Office Overseeing The Spending?  Special Inspector General Arnold Fields says it's his job to conduct audits and investigate the funds made available for reconstruction in Afghanistan. But, he says, "If I cannot identify those funds for reconstruction in Afghanistan then I'm unable to carry out the full measure of the legislation." Earlier this year the Afghanistan reconstruction office was itself audited and got a failing grade on management and standards. A group of senators, led by Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill, the chair of the subcommittee on contracting oversight, has called on the White House to fire the special inspector general. McCaskill says if the White House doesn't act soon, she'll call a special hearing on the matter when Congress re-convenes next month. She and others say you can't expect to fix the contracting system in Afghanistan if the office meant to do the fixing is broken, too.

Question: Chocolatiers Lindt Loses Final Appeal To Trademark Golden Easter Bunnies

After 12 years, a federal court in Germany has settled an epic Easter battle: It ruled Lindt & Spruengli, the Swiss chocolatier, could not trademark its gold-foil wrapped easter bunny chocolates. Germany's international broadcaster Deutsche Welle reports:  "The case in Germany's highest administrative court was the fourth and final one Lindt lost in its attempt to win copyright protection of its Easter bunny model. The court had to answer whether it was legally possible to register a product, which was in general use for decades, as a trademark, said Daniel Terheggen, Riegelein's lawyer from Lindner & Blaumeier Attorneys. "'The ruling has set a legal precedent in copyright law with which we are very satisfied,' he added. "Confiserie Riegelein was the only defendant left to face up to Lindt in the courts, after a number of smaller chocolate-making firms succumbed to the pressure exerted by the Swiss giant."  Of course Riegelein was very happy. "The sitting gold-wrapped bunny has been a firm part of our offering for at least a half century," Peter Riegelein said, according to The Guardian. "Now it is finally clear that it can stay as it is." Lindt hinted the fight was not over. "We will continue to defend our Lindt gold bunny in the future whenever necessary," the company said in a statement.

Question: Friday News Roundup - International

The report by special counsel Robert Mueller offered a definitive conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Russian president Vladimir Putin famously denied any allegation of Russian interference at a meeting with President Donald Trump in Helsinki, Finland. Here’s a piece of the report’s findings on interference efforts:  The Internet Research Agency (IRA) carried out the earliest Russian interference operations identified by the investigation-a social media campaign designed to provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States. The IRA was based in St. Petersburg, Russia, and received funding from Russian oligarch Yevgeniy Prigozhin and companies he controlled. Prigozhin is widely reported to have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Read the whole report here.
The Trump Camp officials who cited or retweeted IRA-controlled Twitter accounts were (page 33-34): • Don Jr • Eric Trump • Kellyanne Conway • Brad Parscale • Michael Flynn — Ken Dilanian (@KenDilanianNBC) April 18, 2019   Another nugget with international implications? The NYT‘s Sharon LaFraniere pulled out this piece from the report:  During the campaign, Paul Manafort discussed with a Russian associate a plan to let Russia control part of Ukraine. Both men believed the plan would require candidate Trump’s assent to succeed (were he to be elected president.) They also discussed the status of the Trump campaign and Manafort’s strategy for winning Democratic votes in Midwestern states.  And her analysis?  This suggests that Russia was trying to influence the Trump campaign to support a plan that would have allowed Russia to control part of eastern Ukraine, which would have been a huge victory for the Kremlin. Mr. Manafort had shared internal campaign polling data with the Russian associate before their Aug. 2, 2016, meeting — and for some period afterward, the report said.  On the other side of the world, this week the North Korean government reported that the country tested a “new-type tactical guided weapon.” This test comes after talks between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Trump fell apart in February. And in Indonesia, sitting president Joko Widodo announced he won reelection. Here’s more on the election’s implications from The Guardian:  Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, is an outpost of democracy in a South-east Asian neighbourhood of authoritarian governments and is forecast to be among the world’s biggest economies by 2030. A second term for Widodo, the first Indonesian president from outside the Jakarta elite, could further cement the country’s two decades of democratisation.  Widodo’s win is contentious, as the official election results need to be released by May 22. But Widodo’s opponent, Prabowo Subianto, made an early claim that he had won, with 62 percent of the vote. French president Emmanuel Macron vowed to rebuild Notre Dame within five years. The cathedral was badly burnt in a fire, although the structure of the building was maintained. We talked to the French ambassador to the United States about the resonance of Notre Dame’s architecture earlier this this week.

Question: I Saw First Ladies Kissing Santa Claus (And A First Dog Dressed As Him)

represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr

It's Christmas, and Santa Claus just completed his annual, almost unbelievable, trip around the world to drop off presents for children everywhere. But on his way, he's stopped off through the years to hang out with the first family — sometimes, perhaps, there was some mistletoe around. On at least two photographed occasions, first ladies have planted a smooch on Santa's cheek. Here was Barbara Bush (as hubby George H.W. looks on): Nancy Reagan seemed to have a particular fondness for celebrity Santas. Here she is on the lap of Mr. T, from A-Team days ... ... and under the arm of Larry Hagman, the actor who played J.R. Ewing of 1980s Dallas fame: Even President Obama looked like he was about to get in on a Santa smooch a couple of years ago: Encounters with Santa are not always so ... sassy. Sometimes, they're just plain goofy. Sometimes presidents sing ... ... and dance with Santa ... And George W. Bush, who loved to festively sing and dance ... ... got in on the act with Santa in 2006: Sometimes, though, the first families try to bring some seriousness. They're always trying to make Santa read to kids: More reading: Don't they know the kids just want the presents — or to see Rudolph? Presidential Santa encounters go back a long way. Sometimes, presidents even dress their dogs as Santa, like Lyndon Johnson did with his presidential pup, Yuki in 1967: Sometimes the encounters were kept on ice (before all this global warming talk, of course): Didn't know Santa could skate? Of course he can. He's from the North Pole. Many may not remember or know that one man, for 41 years, entertained the first family as Santa — Robert George, a Southern Californian, who, as AP dubbed him, was "Santa Claus to six Presidents." His "year-round Christmas display charmed thousands of disadvantaged and disabled children in Southern California but bedeviled some of his neighbors." It endeared George to President Eisenhower and each successive president until his death in 1998. "Mr. George, a retired barber, became the nation's Santa Claus in 1956 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower heard about his display and invited him to the White House," AP noted in his obit. "He subsequently accepted similar invitations from Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George Bush. Mr. George was scheduled to attend a photo session last October [1998] with President Clinton but was forced to cancel the trip because of illness." No one has taken George's place, but maybe it's one tradition worth bringing back. After all, this is the year of "Make America Great Again." Speaking of #MAGA, it's not clear what Trump has in store for Santa, but Santa did show up to a Trump event earlier this month, so ... He's also gotten in on the Santa (sort of) act in the past: And we know for certain, he wants to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas" (not Happy Holidays). Just look at all those Christmas trees: Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays) from all of us to all of you.

The car companies made sure of that.   Today, things are different.   More and more people are using their bicycles — and scooters, and electric bicycles, and mopeds — to get around which means suddenly, our roads — and our drivers — are having to make room.   According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bicycling deaths surged by 10 percent last year — even as overall traffic deaths went down.   New York specifically has had so many cycling deaths — 19 so far this year — that Mayor Bill de Blasio has declared it an "epidemic."   How do cyclists share the road while still obeying the law? And how do drivers deal with a changing vehicular landscape? To answer these questions, we spoke with Angie Schmitt, a national correspondent for Streetsblog, a collective of transportation news sites; Greg Billing, the executive director of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association; and Bruce Deming, an attorney representing injured cyclists and pedestrians. He's also the author of Surviving the Crash: Your Legal Rights in a Bicycle Accident. Like what you hear? Find more of our programs online.

Question: Deadline Looms For Haitians In The Dominican Republic

The Dominican government says that after 7 p.m. tomorrow, anyone who can’t show papers proving they’re in the country legally will be subject to expulsion. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians and people of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic have been scrambling to abide. The deportation threat has sparked international protests, including a “Black Lives Matter in the Dominican Republic” rally in New York yesterday. Part of the outrage stems from concern that the deportees will include people born in the country, who had once believed they were Dominican citizens. Cassandre Theano of the Open Society Justice Initiative in New York discusses the situation with Here & Now’s Robin Young. Guest

Question: Sister Of Charleston Shooter Dylann Roof Arrested After Menacing Social Media Post

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

The younger sister of convicted mass murderer Dylann Roof — who gunned down nine parishioners at a Charleston, S.C., church in 2015 — was arrested Wednesday on drug and weapons charges after she posted a disturbing message on social media. Morgan Roof, 18, a student at AC Flora High School in Columbia, was charged with one count of marijuana possession and two counts of carrying a weapon on school grounds, the Richland County Sheriff's Department said, describing the weapons as a knife and pepper spray, according to The State newspaper. WACH-TV in Columbia reports:  "No students were harmed and [Morgan Roof] has been transported to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. She [appeared] in bond court Wednesday night, where her bond was set at $5,000, and was charged with carrying weapons on school property. She was also ordered not to [return] to the incident location."  Roof's arrest came after she reportedly posted a message to Snapchat saying that she hoped students participating in Wednesday's walkout of classes to protest gun violence would "get shot" and suggested that only "black people" would be participating in the nationwide protests. "Your walking out of the allowed time of 17min, they are letting you do this, nothing is gonna change what tf you think it's gonna do? I hope it's a trap and y'all get shot we know it's fixing to be nothing but black people walkin out anyway," she posted. Sheriff Leon Lott said that after learning of the post, the school's staff called the school resources officer and Roof was promptly arrested. Susan Childs, the principal at AC Flora, said in a statement to parents and students: "As many of you know, today was set as a time for a student walkout. Our student leaders had asked to be allowed to spend seventeen minutes to remember each of the victims of the Parkland, Florida school shooting." "[A] student used social media to post a hateful message. The posting was not a threat, but was extremely inappropriate. That student was dealt with in a swift and severe manner as the posting caused quite a disruption," Childs said. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said in a statement that a "potential tragedy was avoided" at the school. "We owe a debt of gratitude to all involved who acted so quickly and decisively," McMaster said. Dylann Roof, a self-avowed white supremacist, killed nine African-American parishioners during a Bible study at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in June 2015. In January 2017, he was sentenced to death by lethal injection. Roof pleaded guilty to state murder charges and was found guilty by a jury in Charleston on 33 counts of federal hate crimes. He is currently awaiting execution at the United States Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind.

Question: Black Church Leaders In Georgia On The Importance Of 'Souls To The Polls'

Georgia Republican lawmakers have backed off of a proposal that would have curtailed early voting on Sundays in the state. Sunday voting is especially important for congregants in Black churches, which regularly hold "souls to the polls" events after Sunday services.  "We gather in our churches on Sunday morning, you have morning worship and then after the service you get on the church buses, church vans, get in cars and people go to vote," says Bishop Reginald T. Jackson of the Sixth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Jackson is the presiding prelate over more than 500 churches in Georgia. "It's a very effective way the Black church has of getting out our vote," he tells Steve Inskeep on Morning Edition. Georgia's Republican-led House passed HB 531 earlier this month. One of its provisions would have largely standardized voting across counties, limiting the ability of counties to offer more days to vote. Backers of the change argued that it would have brought more uniformity and less confusion to the state's elections. After pushback from Black Georgians, Democrats and some in the business community, modified measures would require early voting to be available on two Saturdays before elections, and give local officials the option to open polls on two Sundays. Black churches' involvement in politics and voter mobilization goes back to the years after the Civil War. But they became a major force during the civil rights movement. "Souls to the polls has a direct link back to Jim Crow when we were fighting for the right to vote," says Christy Jackson, the supervisor of the Sixth Episcopal District who is also married to Bishop Jackson. "It became something that gave us comfort, to go in a group with our church group during those times to go and vote."  In modern times, Christy Jackson tells Morning Edition, souls to the polls is for the larger community, not just for members of the church. "They might just be community members who get on the bus knowing that they have sort of a safe transport, if you will, to the polls." Churches are especially important for mobilizing African Americans in rural counties, Christy Jackson says. "There are some polling locations, voting locations that are 10, 15, 20 miles from where a person lives. And so these central located churches, for example, then become what we call neighborhood hubs." The bills in Georgia's legislature that would increase barriers to voting are largely backed by Republicans. A Republican criticism is that Black church leaders influence their members on how to vote. State Sen. Larry Walker earlier told NPR he's concerned about "undue influence" on voters with other people helping to fill out ballots. Black voters have leaned heavily Democratic for decades. Reginald Jackson counters that "the goal is to get people to vote. You don't tell them how to vote, but we are encouraging them to vote." He says he's not afraid to advise people if he's asked. "That's a common, ordinary thing," he says — adding that it happens in white, heavily Republican, evangelical churches as well. The bishop says that if any measures that hinder voting end up becoming law, African Americans will persevere. "If you go back to early times of Jim Crow, even though they did everything to make it hard for us to vote, our ancestors still made every gallant effort. They cast their ballot. Blacks are resilient," he says. Christy Jackson adds that recounting the struggles of the past to young activists is essential. "You have to tell the story so that you can see the throughline to the other side." Victoria Whitley-Berry and Jacob Conrad produced and edited the audio interview.

Question: Couples Urge Sotomayor To Deny Utah's Bid To Block Gay Marriage

represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details

Attorneys for same-sex couples say Utah officials who want to block gay marriages "cannot meet their burden" of showing either an error by a lower court or serious damage if the ceremonies continue, according to papers filed with the Supreme Court Friday. The filing urges the court to deny a request to halt the unions in Utah. The couples' response comes three days after Utah officials asked Justice Sonia Sotomayor to block same-sex marriages in the state. Last month, a federal district court invalidated Utah's ban on gay marriage, saying it is not constitutional. Utah is appealing that ruling. The state's request for an emergency delay was directed to Sotomayor, who handles such requests from that section of the United States. On Tuesday, Sotomayor called for a response from the couples' legal teams by noon today. "Utah officials wants an emergency stay so that county clerks in the conservative and predominately Mormon state can refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples," NPR's Howard Berkes reports for our Newscast unit. "The state argues that children generally fare best when raised by heterosexual parents. The same-sex couples who challenged Utah's law counter that professional psychological organizations disagree. Both sides claim irreparable harm if the court rules against them." In the weeks since the federal court set aside Utah's ban, hundreds of gay and lesbian couples have secured marriage licenses. As we reported earlier this week, the request for a stay from Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes calls gay marriages "an affront not only to the interests of the State and its citizens in being able to define marriage through ordinary democratic channels ... but also to this Court's unique role as final arbiter of the profoundly important constitutional question that is so carefully preserved in Windsor." Utah's voters endorsed a definition of marriage as being a union between one man and one woman in 2004. Today, lawyers for three same-sex couples who challenged the ban said the state had offered no compelling reasons for a delay in its filing, as The Salt Lake Tribune reports. And they noted that a hearing on the state's appeal is due to be held in February. The filing also notes that one of the original plaintiffs in the case, Kate Call, "is suffering from a terminal illness that may very well prevent her from surviving the instant appeal." The document concludes, "Forcing same-sex couples and their families to wait and hope for the best during the pendency of this appeal imposes an intolerable and dehumanizing burden that no family should have to endure." As for what happens next in the case, it's not precisely clear. Sotomayor could act on her own or take the issue to her colleagues. "The usual tradition and practice in this type of high-profile, controversial case is for the circuit justice, in this case Justice Sotomayor, to refer the request over to the entire court," law professor Carl Tobias of the University of Richmond tells Howard. Tobias says that although Sotomayor may act alone, he thinks she'll probably refer the request to the whole court.

Question: Check Them Out: Other Efforts To 'Truth-Squad' Campaign Ads

While NPR has its Message Machine project ("fact-checking the 2010 campaigns) with PolitiFact.com, we certainly don't want to ignore the other things being done to "truth-squad" what candidates and interest groups are saying in their campaign ads. So, may we also call your attention to: Read More -- FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center and one of the original efforts to hold politicians, parties and interest groups accountable for what they say in their ads. Over the past few campaign cycles, FactCheck has proved to be very non-partisan -- taking aim at the misstatements of Democrats and Republicans alike. For example, this week it skewered Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida for "falsely accusing his opponent of evading the Vietnam War draft" in an ad. And also this week, FactCheck went after Sharron Angle, the Republican candidate for Senate in Nevada, for making false claims about her opponent, Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader. She said Reid wanted to "give special tax breaks to illegal aliens." FactCheck said that's dead wrong. -- The Sunlight Foundation's new "Campaign Ad Monitor" project. It's an online tool that "allows anyone to report information on the political advertising they see on TV,  hear on the radio or view online." Basically, as Sunlight says:  "When you see a political ad on TV, hear one on the radio or view one online,  visit Sunlight CAM to log it and tell us more about it.   "Start by entering your zip code on the homepage and note what type of ad you  are reporting (radio, TV or Internet). Next, enter some additional information,  such as the media outlet that ran the ad, which politician was mentioned, what  was said and if the ad included a 'paid for by' line. Then just click submit."  -- Campaign Media Analysis Group's The Spot blog. Not quite a fact-checker, it does offer some very important information about who's spending how much money on which ads and where those spots are running. It's good information because one of the key questions in recent years about ads released by both candidates and interest groups is whether they're actually paying any money to put them on TV -- or are just putting videos out in the hopes of getting free attention from the news media and bloggers. And speaking of "ads" that were made more to get attention than to get on TV, let's end this post with an example -- and one that's quite unusual and rated a "true" on PolitiFact's truth-o-meter. It's from the campaign of Republican John Dennis, who's challenging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA. Enjoy:

Question: Democrats Grind Out Health Care, A Vote At  A Time

President Obama was in Ohio on Monday to give his third campaign-style, outside-the-Beltway health care overhaul sales pitch in the past half-dozen days. But back in Washington, the furious action was behind the scenes, as Democratic leaders continued their desperate arm-twisting for health care's too-close-to-call end game. And interest groups shoveled millions of dollars into last-ditch efforts to influence the outcome of the historic bill. That outcome, which hinges on a key House vote expected later this week, remained wildly uncertain. "Everyone knew it was going to be a nail-biter going into this," says health analyst Alec Vachon. "It's now all about vote wrangling."  By The Numbers  To pass the health care overhaul, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has to persuade at least 216 of her 253-member caucus to support the version of health care legislation that the Senate approved last December.  Among her formidable challenges: convincing recalcitrant House Democrats who find aspects of the Senate bill unpalatable that a subsequent smaller, so-called fix-it bill — known as reconciliation — will ultimately pass both chambers with at least some of their desired changes. Health care overhaul advocates are banking on Pelosi's powers of persuasion, as well as those of the president, to move enough Democratic fence-sitters to get to the magic 216 majority number. Most vote counters say that as of Monday, Pelosi is still around a dozen votes short.  "There's a path to victory for the Democrats, but a lot of things will have to go right," says David Dayen, a blogger with the progressive Web site Firedoglake. Dayen, who has been closely tracking the votes, says that Obama, Pelosi and Democratic leaders will have to persuade at least a half-dozen Democrats who voted "no" on the House version of health care legislation last fall to support the Senate version. "That's a tall order," Dayen says. One of those original "no" votes belonged to Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a hero to progressives who favors universal health care. He voted against the House bill last November because he said he viewed it as a sellout to Wall Street and the insurance companies. Kucinich has said he'll vote no again this week. And it just so happens that on Monday, Obama not only delivered his speech in the heart of Kucinich's district but also met privately aboard Air Force One with the congressman and Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge, who has not committed her vote.  Oddsmakers, no doubt, will be watching the two closely in coming days.  Also watching the horse trading for votes are investors who participate in the prediction market Intrade, which on Monday listed Obama's health care legislation with a 70 percent chance of passing by June. That represents a significant increase from early this month, when it was listed with around a 30 percent chance. High-Stakes Wooing  Private Air Force One meetings, behind-the-scenes deals, promises of something back home — the art of individual vote corralling takes many forms.  "It's like romance — you say different things to different people," says Vachon, the president of Hamilton PPB, which provides health policy advice to corporations and investors.  Vachon recalls that during the heated 2008 debate over the Bush administration's Medicare prescription drug plan, he asked a member being courted by the White House whether he had asked for money for a bridge to be built back in the member's district. "He told me, 'We don't have a river,' " Vachon said. "I told him, 'Hey, you could get that, too — go large!' " He was only half-joking.  There are at least a dozen House members who don't like language in the Senate health care bill that limits federal spending on abortions because they believe it is weaker than House-approved language included in the so-called Stupak amendment. But though Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, who fashioned the amendment, has said that he'll be a "no" vote this week, it appears that there are a handful of other Stupak amendment supporters who are moving to the "yes" category. "It looks like Rep. Stupak is losing members. He said he had 12, but I only count six now as a firm 'no,' " Dayen says. "And four or five are on the fence."  Under the rules of reconciliation, Democratic leaders aren't allowed to change the Senate's abortion language because it doesn't involve the budget. Instead, party leaders have been working to convince Stupak coalition members that the upper chamber's abortion coverage provisions aren't appreciably different than the House language.   But it leaves open the question of what promises Democratic leaders are making to sway members of Stupak's coalition.   Vachon is among those who have long said that they believe Pelosi will find the votes — though he's not sure how. "This could be an epic fail — where she gets just 202 votes," he says. "Or there could be the crowd effect" that will bring her a winning majority.  The Politics Of No  Still, the bottom line for many ne

Question: Mark Sawyer: McCain's Crooked Talk on Cuba

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

Today, we're starting a new series, featuring online commentaries written by our political contributors. "Political Positions" brings you opinionated reactions to the week's news, so be sure to read and respond. This first piece comes from Mark Q. Sawyer, director of the UCLA Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Politics and the author of Racial Politics in Post-Revolutionary Cuba. Here, he writes about what he considers John McCain's politically expedient stances on U.S. relations with Cuba.  Yesterday, Sen. John McCain attacked Sen. Barack Obama -- his potential opponent -- on Cuba policy and argued we must stay the course with our current lack of engagement with the island. Why is it that McCain supported normalizing relations with Vietnam, a regime that tortured him and cost 58,217 American lives, but won't talk with Cuba?   McCain, who once sensibly suggested that some reforms in Cuba could open the door to constructive engagement, is now hardening his position simply to garner votes among older Cuban American voters in South Florida. He is attempting to draw a distinction between himself and Barack Obama by characterizing Obama as "naive on foreign policy." It may be good politics, but is it sound policy?  Read More >>  McCain quoted Obama as saying, "I believe that normalization of relations with Cuba would help the oppressed and poverty-stricken Cuban people, while setting the stage for a more democratic government once Castro inevitably leaves the scene."   McCain sarcastically dismissed Obama's position as "interesting" and asserted his support for the U.S. embargo and lack of dialogue with Cuba that has produced absolutely no change in 40 years. Further, our approach hurts poor Afro-Cubans the most.   Obama's position is both "interesting" and absolutely spot on. During my research in Cuba, one thing became clear: There is nothing that worries the regime and the Communist Party as much as a potential opening with the United States. A flood of investment, tourists, media products and other things -- as well as free travel to and from Cuba for its citizens -- is the most likely and quickest course to transforming Cuba, advancing freedoms, and potentially destabilizing the current government.   Further, talking to Cuba presents no risks. Cuba is not a military threat to the United States at all. In fact, the most troublesome problem Cuba could present would be if the government unraveled in a disorderly fashion and created a refugee crisis that might drive up to a million Cubans to take to the sea toward the United States.   Talking to Cuba and working on issues of human rights, food support and even trading with Cuba and obtaining things like the vaccine for meningitis developed in Cuba that could save lives in America would be highly productive. Farmers in the United States would benefit from a new market for goods, and Cubans would have more food options.   Opening toward Cuba might also save lives. A sensible immigration policy and a policy that might allow Cuban athletes to participate in U.S. professional leagues the way we once allowed Soviet hockey players in the NHL, and currently Chinese basketball player Yao Ming in the NBA would save lives. Victims of the lack of dialogue include people like Reggaeton artist Elvis Manuel, who died on a raft trip from Cuba, seeking to perform in the United States. Why can't these artists and athletes perform and make a living in the United States without risking death to do so? Of course the fewer lost lives would deprive some of a propaganda victory, but is it worth it? Clearly if we talk to Cuba, we might be able to work out something.   If we as Americans are truly concerned about the Cuban people, saving lives, freedom and an orderly transition in Cuba, we would talk immediately and frequently. We don't because politicians like John McCain want to pander to the Cuban-American leadership for votes in Florida under the idea that a win in Florida might catapult him to the presidency. However, it has not been sound, effective or humane foreign policy for 49 years.   McCain, again rather than taking a sensible and thoughtful approach to foreign policy, has chosen to pick the political expedient route. In so doing -- like with his positions on Iraq and Iran -- McCain reaffirm his commitment to the disastrous foreign policy approach authored by the Bush administration. It seems, on yet another issue, the Straight Talk Express has lost its way and taken a detour into political pandering.  -- Mark Q. Sawyer

Theresa May reprises her moves to the sound of “Dancing Queen” as #CPC18 speech begins https://t.co/r1zmSjL68c pic.twitter.com/ELOmq4Cw0q — Bloomberg (@business) October 3, 2018   She was dancing before the Conservative Party Conference amid intense negotiations about Brexit. May seemed optimistic about a deal, according to NPR.. “If we stick together and hold our nerve, I know we can get a deal that delivers for Britain,” she said, although she noted that the negotiations were “challenging” for the EU. What’s the status on Brexit negotiations? Other international news caught our eye this week: The U.S. canceled a 1955 treaty that normalized relations with Iran. The New York Times described the move as “largely symbolic.” More from The Times:  In legal terms, the United States withdrawal from the 1955 treaty with Iran does not take effect immediately. The treaty remains in place for one year from any announcement of withdrawal, meaning Iran’s lawsuit will proceed. It was negotiated after the C.I.A. helped stage a coup in Iran that Iranians still cite as a gross violation of the country’s sovereignty. The 1953 coup, code-named Operation Ajax, was engineered by Kermit Roosevelt Jr., a grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, and installed a government that two years later cemented the treaty with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The treaty sets up commercial relationships, tax structures and access to each nation’s courts. None of that has applied since the 1979 Islamic revolution.  Indonesia is still reeling after an enormous tsunami. Recent estimates put the death toll at more than 1,400 people, with nearly 100,000 homes destroyed in addition to the death toll. Earlier this week we spoke to Louise Comfort, former director of The Center for Disaster Management at the University of Pittsburgh, about the tsunami. Listen here. It’s also Nobel season.

Question: What Does A Song That Costs $5 Sound Like?

Last week, Sony Corporation announced a new line of high-end audio components that promise to deliver a better online audio experience. The announcement comes amid growing evidence that music fans are tired of the crappy sound they hear on their portable music players. Case in point is the success of Cookie Marenco's business of selling super high-definition music downloads. Marenco's been in the music recording business for over two decades. Marenco, a sturdy-looking, energetic woman, recently stood in front of a room of eager ears at the California Audio Show just outside San Francisco. She was there to show them her high-end technology. Among the enthusiastic listeners was James Forte from San Francisco, who first discovered Marenco here three years ago. "All you have to do is hear it and you get hooked very quickly," he says. Marenco uses a format called DSD, which stands for Direct Stream Digital. DSD has been around since the late 1960s. It's only been used commercially on Super Audio CDs (SACD) for about 13 years. But DSD didn't take off, in part because something else happened around the same time. In 1997, the first single was purchased online — "Electric Barbarella" by Duran Duran. At the time, Marenco was working for Liquid Audio, one of the first companies to offer commercial music downloads. Marenco says no one she knew even got what she was doing. "My artist and label friends looked at me like I was talking about things in a crystal ball. 'Music on the Internet? Are you crazy? How is that even possible?' " Marenco and Liquid Audio were offering compressed audio downloads in formats like MP3 and AAC, which is what iTunes uses now. Even though she's a musician herself and could hear that MP3 was lower quality than CDs, she thought MP3s could change the industry in a way that helped artists. "I thought that this was going to be a great way for independent artists to compete on their own," she says. "What it turned out to be was technology companies taking over the music business and technology companies who don't necessarily care so much about what happens to music and the musicians. I don't think anybody expected MP3 to take over and completely demolish the record industry." MP3s were lower quality audio because they had to be. The files were small and moved quickly over a slow speed Internet connection. Marenco now says she feels guilty for helping to make MP3s popular. Marenco had her own recording studio back then, but she and other recording engineers were hitting hard times. It was getting easier for musicians to use computers to record at home and people weren't expecting the same quality anymore. "Pretty soon nobody was going into the studios," she says. "Musicians are thinking 'Well, I can record in my own bedroom.' " Marenco decided to take a break from the business. One day she invited a dozen engineers and artists to do a blind test of three different audio formats. Analog tape recording, high-resolution digital (better than CD) and DSD. "Tape was still everyone's choice in a blindfold test," says Marenco, but they all agreed "that DSD was the closest thing to tape." Marenco waited another five years before she started her own label, Blue Coast Records, and she sold Super Audio CDs mastered to DSD in her own studio. She focused on quality even though the industry was in decline. "High-quality audio in 2007 to musicians was a very foreign concept," she says. "Everybody had gotten so used to MP3s and so emotionally disillusioned by what had happened to the music that the musicians I knew had just kind of given up." These days Marenco is back at work as an engineer in a studio she built in her home. She takes great care in the recording process. During one session, she had four musicians in the studio and none of them wore headphones the way they do in most recording sessions. Marenco prefers they play together as if they were on stage, a process she believes makes the sound more authentic. About three years ago, as most people got faster Internet connections and bigger hard drives, Marenco decided to make her DSD music files available for download. At the time, Marenco's customers could only play DSD on one device — a Sony PlayStation 3. Marenco charged $5 a song and $50 an album. It didn't sound like a formula for success. But, she says, "we were shocked. Thousands of people came to download. What was interesting to me as a business owner is they never asked me to lower the price. They asked for more content." Since then, Marenco's gone from a customer base of hundreds of people to thousands around the world, and she did it with a roster of largely unknown artists. This year she says she started making more money from her online music sales than she does from her work as a recording engineer. Marenco was one of the first to offer DSD as paid downloads. Now, Mark Waldrep, an audio engineer who sits on the board of the audio division of the Consumer Electronics Association, says more are

Question: What's The Appeal Of The Taliban?

The Taliban brutally flogged a teenage girl, burned schools to the ground and advanced to within 60 miles of Pakistan's capital. Despite the stern rules and intolerant attitude, many Pakistanis support the Taliban insurgency. Why? Who are the Taliban, and what's their appeal? Neal Conan explores those questions with authors and experts on the region. Akbar Ahmed, the Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University, worked as an administrator in Waziristan and Baluchistan, and was Pakistani ambassador to the United Kingdom. His latest book is Journey Into Islam. Nicholas Schmidle, a New America Foundation fellow, wrote To Live or to Perish Forever. And Gretchen Peters, author of Seeds of Terror: How Heroin is Bankrolling the Taliban and al-Qaida, covered Pakistan and Afghanistan for more than a decade, first with the Associated Press and then for ABC News. NEAL CONAN, host:  This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan, in Washington. An important conflict is underway inside Pakistan, as Army troops battle the Taliban in the Swat Valley and Buner, not far from the capital. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled the fighting and are crowded into refugee camps. Most of us know of the Taliban as Islamic fundamentalists who seized power in Afghanistan years ago and provided safe haven to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida. After being driven from power in 2001, some of those Afghan Taliban found safe havens of their own in neighboring areas of Pakistan.  They continue to battle the U.S. and its allies in Afghanistan from those bases, and the movement is spread deep into Pakistan as well, to the point that it now represents a real threat to the government. And many worry that Pakistan's nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of extremists.  No movement can mount that kind of challenge without both political support and money. So what has sustained the Taliban? Who pays of it? And what's the appeal to Pakistani civilians? If you're been there and have direct experience, give us a call: 800-989-8255. Email us: talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation on our Web site. Go to npr.org, click on TALK OF THE NATION.  Later in the program, and alleged Nazi war criminal is deported to Germany for trail. Does justice have an expiration date?  But first, the Taliban. And joining us now from his office at American University, Akbar Ahmed. He's currently chair of Islamic studies there and has served as an administrator in northwestern Pakistan and as the Pakistan ambassador to the United Kingdom.  And ambassador, nice to have you on the program today.  Professor AKBAR AHMED (Chair of Islamic Studies, American University; Former Pakistani Ambassador to United Kingdom): Thank you, Neal.  CONAN: And when the Pakistan government - is the Taliban able to spread and able to convince people to join because the Afghan government is incompetent?  Prof. AHMED: Neal, in Swat, you're seeing a very complicated situation. There was a clear-cut class structures. You had feudal landlords owning lots of land, irrigated lands, rich lands, and hundreds of serf-like peasants on their lands. Now, a lot of these eventually joined up with the Taliban movement. So therefore, you're seeing something more complicated than just simply Taliban versus the government of Pakistan. You are seeing a class component to what's happening, a slow-motion revolution. You're also seeing a collapse of justice, a collapse of law and order, which creates a vacuum, and in that vacuum, these Taliban turning up and saying we will provide you justice. We will provide you law and order, however rough and ready.  And the ordinary people of Swat now are being caught up in between the one kind of Islamic representation presented by the Taliban and the government of Pakistan, which barely exists. And for me, a (unintelligible) person, my wife is from Swat, a few hours ago, people rang from Saidu Sharif, the capital of Swat, to say her family houses - she's the granddaughter of the ruler of Swat. The old palaces have now been deserted. Everyone has fled, so you're getting the Army shelling, helicopters flying low, bombing the region, and the Taliban killing anyone who's there. So literally, you're seeing a devastation take place right now.  CONAN: And you're written that, indeed, members of her family have been taken out and killed.  Prof. AHMED: Exactly, because her family's also sacred lineage, which meant that they challenged the Taliban where it hurt them, which is they challenged them in the interpretation of Islam, and they said that your kind of Islam is brutal. It's harsh, and it's not the correct form of Islam. So this was a challenge that the Taliban could not ignore. And this cousin of hers was a government minister, had been to a school of mine, the (unintelligible) School, a very bright young man. He was just blown up. And then another cousin, also a member of parliament, was killed with two sons in front of - who were killed in front of him, and w

Question: The News Roundup — International

President Trump has tested positive for the coronavirus. President Trump joined several other world leaders in testing positive, including President Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Fighting broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over disputed land, leading to more than 100 deaths in what is the heaviest instance of conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in years. Now, Russia and members of NATO are considering courses of action if the conflict continues to escalate. Protests have erupted inVenezuela over power cuts and a lack of fuel and drinking water. More than 100 demonstrations occurred across the country. The government has deployed riot police and they have occasionally clashed with protesters. This week, Pope Francis declined to meet with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. In turn, the secretary met with other Vatican officials opposed to Pope Francis, and continued to criticize the pope’s relationship with the Chinese government. But while the two ostensibly clashed over foreign policy, there’s likely more to the (lack of) meeting. More from The New York Times:  an appeal for Catholic support.
 Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Vatican foreign minister, was asked whether Mr. Pompeo had sought to manipulate the Vatican for political purposes. “Well, that’s one of the reasons that the Holy Father is not receiving the secretary of state,” he said. Cardinal Parolin said he had no evidence that Mr. Pompeo’s article and visit were meant to aid the president’s re-election, “but it is a thought that can be made.”  And over a million people around the world have died of COVID-19.
