It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep And I'm Rachel Martin so you make a deal with some people but then one person decides they're out another breach is that so is the deal any good that's the reality facing the original signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran the u.s. Withdrew under President Trump and this week Iran announced that it has breached the limits on enriched uranium Now the other members of the deal are trying to figure out what's next that includes the u.k. And France this morning France's president warned warned Iran against doing anything else that would call the agreement into question Ellie Durand Jeremiah I'm sorry for butchering that pronounce a Geisha and helped advise European leaders on the nuclear negotiations that led to the eventual deal thank you so much for being with us good morning so the u.s. Is out of Iran has basically taken itself out by intentionally violating a central tenet of the deal is a dead no not on Iran is making clear that is trying to give time but that is to try and damage who. Invented the wheel they claim that they're right in within the corner of the agreement and that they want the other remaining parties if they feel to be more I think more action and that is there a lot of big We've been there has been the or if that's being cool if you I and get the mechanism that they be talking about do trade with Iran are running so Q splaying how that would work because the problem here is that American sanctions have have complicated things to say the least for European countries who under the dealers will be able to do some business with Iran so that Iran can receive some financial benefit in exchange for easing its nuclear program. Garang and I think neither is gone or Europe is under any illusion that down to what they're able to achieve in terms of teaching all make transactions and business with one another but I think what has gone into trying to get from Europeans it's sometimes a pull back. To to show that they are committed to the degree meant as much as they're gone and by the way live on isn't just putting pressure on the 2 opinions there will think most with the Chinese and the Russians well on the policy so yeah it functions in the us by trying to really complicate the thing but there is a way I think that the difference can come together to get out of the car impact that there's a need now Iran has the Cianfrance being that they being patient. Over a year now to try and he can get us from the cream and it's that they will consist saying now if it does if it does cannot be possible for the party to the deal to get something in return for Iran we may well be the end of the day 1 o'clock in the tail by don't think we're quite that I do think we have a team a week a month ahead in which there can be a bigger diplomatic pressure from likely to go p. And by to try and convince Iran not to take for that that because I'm a cornered board I could really collapse the criminal together I want to play a bit of an interview that President from did last night on Fox News he was talking about his decision a few weeks ago to call off strikes on Iran because he says he was told about the possible civilian toll but the president is still clearly keeping the door to military action open Let's listen. Is it possible that you can circumscribe your your part of the deal so that you don't have to pay attention to this growing tension between the us and Iran I mean how do you ignore what's happening between those 2 countries. Well I think I need the pictures during the burial or to put nothing in 10th of the tension between direct in Iran and the president but drawn from our understanding when he met with President lumpectomy 20 stone that he came to go forward on the issue of the technically an essentially there's no warning not getting from the European side to American counterparts but the current trajectory of not one pressure that the u.s. Example exerting on radar is going to lead to some sort of a burthen or unintended military confrontation with Iran I mean they can break character that overthrown and now I think this would be a real nightmare NALEO for the Europeans because while the u.s. Has the luxury of being thousands of miles away from Iran this country actually sits on your doorstep and we know what happens in the Middle East the pain the meddling and so think Europeans I think they are back to the situation on which we were either nuclear agreement where they're trying to board on sort of a military confrontation between the West than Iran whether it's on the nuclear issue or the right thing tensions in the region well again Miles she's with the European Council on Foreign Relations we appreciate your time and insight this morning thank you so much as a. Let's come back to the United States now and note that anybody who spends much time watching television in America learns how the justice system works in the criminal justice system the people are represented by 2 separate equally important groups the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders these are their stories that's from the long running show Law and Order the attorney general in Washington d.c. Is trying to change the system that we know so well experimenting with a new way to dispense law and order local prosecutors have developed a program to connect young offenders with their victims bringing them together to work out plans to move forward without jail time years n.p.r. National justice correspondent Carrie Johnson d.c. Attorney General Carl Ray seen says he started as a reluctant innovator I think my exact words was that I think the idea is a little hokey after all racing's an elected official and he says every day he comes to work with this on his mind we are committed to public safety but the d.c. Attorney general says he's convinced there can be a better way to keep the community safe it's called restorative justice and here in Washington it brings together young people accused of breaking the law with the people they hurt unlike traditional prosecution restorative justice is really focused on the victim there are a few ground rules victims have to agree to participate in the sessions the program is only open to juveniles who don't use guns during their crimes and if young people follow through on the plan may develop with their victims their charges get dismissed our objective in our prosecutions particularly sense for dealing with the prosecution of young people is to put them in a position to learn from their mistakes i.e. Rehabilitation prosecutors across the country have been experimenting with restored of justice but race. Scene is the 1st to creating a unit within his own office right now in the hall from the lawyers who appear in court to prosecute Sima Ghosh Wanny runs the group of 7 people every week they get together in a circle to discuss their cases in meetings like this one so I know there are 2 cases that were up to day one defendant Ashwani says that people used to doing things the traditional way and started to accept the new approach people like Erica Clark I don't remember a time when I didn't want to be a prosecutor Clark has spent 3 years in the attorney general's office but her commitment to the law goes back to my mother 1st suggested it to me I think when I was maybe 6 or 7 on the playground I would try to stick up for kids who were being bullied and just injustice in general has been very upsetting to me from a very young age Clarke remembers her 1st impression of restorative justice she was skeptical Oh Ok so we were not going to prosecute you we're going to sit around in a circle with like the hippies down the hallway and we're going to have a talk and then you don't have any punishment but with experience Clarke says she's become a convert to the idea I've come to believe that the public is actually safer if we can do a successful restorative justice conference rather than less safe because if you can actually change the hearts and minds of this young person or these young people then. The hope is that they're less likely to re-offend the attorney general's office says early data is showing signs the program is a success and it's starting to include more serious offenses including assault on police officers Jason Dixon is with the Metro Transit Police He's also the victim of a crime about a year and a half ago Dixon tried to break up a fight on the subway among a group of kids Dixon got in between the kids in the scuffle and he bore the brunt of the assault he tore his rotator cuff and strained his knee but when prosecutors called Dixon opted for a restored of Justice session rather than take the case to court but this was my son and somebody saw an opportunity to help him I would hope that person would take that that opportunity you know and I saw something in this young man that I felt like was enough to me to say hey I know I'm injured but I want to see how I can change his life to the point where he doesn't make a decision like this again after word the young man agreed to call Dixon once a week for 6 months avoiding a possible criminal record in the end the officer wound up offering parenting advice to the 16 year old who assaulted him a new father himself I really feel like this program opens up doors with kids that don't have a lot of doors shut in their face this program is under way in a city where police interactions with young people have become very public and very controversial are this video of d.c. Police running down a 9 year old and handcuffing him is going viral it is the Sarah 3rd such incident in about 4 months where d.c.

And from the listeners who support this n.p.r. Station It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep good morning we do not know if President Trump will follow through on a threat to begin immigration raids in major cities the president announced these raids on Twitter and then delayed them saying he wanted to pressure Democrats to agree on changes to immigration law at a press conference over the weekend the president said the raids will proceed now unless the Leslie do something pretty miraculous but the Democrats it seems to me they want to have open borders Now the mayors of 10 big cities where those raids may take place are deciding how to proceed and in Chicago the new mayor Lori life for it says she's given orders to police what is it that you cango intends to stop doing that it was doing with immigration authorities. I issued a directive to our police superintendent that ice can no longer get access to any databases the c.p.d. Has so that's I think a big start the other thing is I've underscored to the police department that they cannot in any way facilitate any of the ice raids and I understand that I do know that your predecessor Rahm Emanuel taken similar positions though are you going beyond whatever he was having the police do well I'm just reemphasizing that this cannot be something that we do we're not going to facilitate street closures blocking air traffic anything like that oh well let's think about that for a moment if we have magine an ice raid and it being a rather large scale effort they might send immigration agents into an apartment building hypothetically to pick some people up and they might ask the Chicago police for backup to clear the streets to be ready in case anything goes wrong you're telling me the Chicago police just aren't going to do that we're not going to do that that is not our role as a local law enforcement we have to make sure that we're maintaining good relationships with people in communities just this morning I was in an area in our city called back of the Yards which has a heavy emigrant population and certainly a number of people that are undocumented and there's a level of fear in those neighborhoods and particularly among some of our young people who come from the immigrant community because in many instances they're 1st generation they are the ones in their family that speak English and it is scaring them to think about the fact that they may be the victim of an ice raid or that their parents or somebody else in her family so what these tweets do is really work to destabilize neighborhoods and bring fear into our city and that's one of the things that we're trying to work against some people listening will say well naturally people would be afraid if they're in the United States without documentation but do you find fear among people who are in the United States legally when you're walking down the street and you are a bore. Skinned person or you're a person that lives in an immigrant community there's no differentiating soley on the basis of what you look like they don't walk down the street saying Hi I'm an immigrant I'm here legally or are not and so there is a general concern as to how I says make a differentiation and we've we had an incident here not that long ago or a woman was stopped on a traffic stop turned out that she was a doc a kid who was here illegally she was with her young daughter she wanted to take her daughter home to her parents and event that she was going to be arrested and once the ice agents determine that she was actually subject to Dhaka and here illegally then they found her parents at home who were undocumented had been here for decades and now they've been deported so those kinds of stories spread like wildfire and the general fear of what might be coming is something unfortunately that permeates many of our neighborhoods if there are people with deportation orders against them should they be deported if a judge has made a final determination somebody is in here legally then that's what our system provides and they're going to have to deal with those consequences now there's obviously also appeal rights but we expect people that are here going through an immigration process to get their due process what I would like to see is a focus on individuals who are creating harm in our communities there are people here and gauged in violent crimes or people here who engaged in other kinds of things that are disruptive to the community Well that's an interesting point because the president has framed this latest threat instead of raids we don't know if any rates will happen but he's threatened them framed as a pressure tactic to get the Democrats in Congress to move do you want the Democrats in Congress to work with the president here I want there to be a bipartisan effort to solve this problem that has eluded many presidents and I do . I don't think it's realistic given the complexities of the issues if the president isn't lobbying members of his party to come to the table with a comprehensive solution it's not going to work if that happen but I have some confidence that we could move forward in a realistic way but fear mongering scare tactics in artificial deadlines are not going to get it done you outlined a moment ago what sounds to me like a position similar to the one that President Obama took when he was in office that authorities should focus on serious criminals people who have done something wrong other than cross the border illegally if ice were to come to you or come to your police department with a narrower list of people and say this is a list of serious criminals we want to round them up would you collaborate then if there's a court order yes we would consider that if there is a valid court order signed by a judge that isn't simply an iced attain or signed by an agent will absolutely abide by that that we believe in the rule of law 100 percent Is there a downside to avoiding broader cooperation with ice I know that you've got information that they might want I'm wondering if sometimes they have information that your police might need to solve a crime Look it's a complicated there's no question about it and you know I'm a former federal prosecutor before ice was ice I did a lot of cases with Customs Enforcement But fundamentally what we have to do is stand up for the rights of people in our communities we have to support them it's hard for me to listen to young people who are terrified that their parents are going to be taken away from them kids who know no other way around than the United States who no other place than Chicago and I think what gets lost in the shuffle is the human toll that has taken and I'm I'm seeing it in witnessing it every day Laurie Lightfoot is the new mayor of Chicago Mayor thanks so much for your time thank you I appreciate your time.

News I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep President Trump says he wants to delay the upcoming 2020 census now the Supreme Court has already ruled on this it is keeping us citizenship question off the census for now that's a question the president wanted he yesterday said he has his own view you go through all this detail and you're not allowed to ask whether or not somebody is a citizen so you can ask other things but you can't as whether or not somebody is a citizen so we are trying to do that we'll look into that verse for the uncertainty is now affecting the scheduled printing of paper census forms because the time to do that as arrived N.P.R.'s Hansi Lo Wang has been tracking all of these developments He's in New York good morning good morning Ok yesterday was supposed to be the day the printing began did it. All signs point to know not got an official response from the Census Bureau or from the printing contractor are Donnelly But if you were to take a look at the website that's tracking the 2020 census of materials and whether they've been approved or that they have not been approved for printing and it appears that this is all over the citizenship question is this person a citizen of United States President Trump wants to get that question on to the census forms even though for now the Supreme Court is keeping it off you said for now didn't the court give a little bit of room to the administration here that's right technically the decision the ball is back in the court of the Commerce Department oversees the Census Bureau if you will and so the troubling ministration can try to make another case in court to give another reason for adding the citizenship question now that the Supreme Court has said the original reason the child appreciation at least said on paper seems to have been contrived this reason that adding a citizenship question would have helped better and force the Voting Rights Act and President Trump was asked yesterday at the White House why he thinks asking a citizenship question is so important on the census and what's interesting he didn't mention the Voting Rights Act Let's listen to what President Trump said I think it's very important to find out if somebody is a citizen as opposed to an illegal I think that is a big difference to me between being a citizen of the United States and being an illegal I feel compelled to just pause for a moment Hansei and make a couple of points of fact in language 1st referring to a human being as an illegal is something that a lot of people will find offensive but it's what the president said so we're telling you 2nd there are other kinds of people in America besides United States citizens and people here illegally in fact there are millions of them so we note that as a point of fact go on we should also be clear that the citizenship question if it is included on the 2020 census would not be asking about immigration status and non-citizens living in the u.s. Whether they're green card holders on authorized immigrants would just shut off a box of says no not a u.s. Citizen why would that be so controversial to ask what the president described as a simple question. The Census Bureau has long known that asking about citizenship those types of questions would be a very sensitive question something that would make it hard for the Census Bureau and the government to meet a constitutional mandate once a decade count every person living in the us you don't see the term citizen when we're talking about the census in the constitution and also adding the citizenship question Census Bureau researchers have found out is not the best way to collect citizenship data actually the best way the Census Bureau researchers have found is to compile existing government records which remember accurate and less expensive than asking citizenship question and of course the political bottom line here is that the Census not only determines who gets more government aid or less but also determines who has more or fewer representatives in the house so there is a lot at stake if you can tweak the numbers in ways that affect That's right and the concern here is whether or not households would non-citizens were participate in the census next year on 2 thanks you're welcome N.P.R.'s Hansi Lo Wang. Ok so when you're trying to predict the weather one of the most important things you need to know is how much more is in the air that information comes from sensors on satellites But meteorologists say those sensors could be compromised by new wireless 5 g. Technology Here's N.P.R.'s Rebecca her to understand the potential problem 1st you have to understand why we use satellites in space to detect moisture in the air in the 1st place William Blackwell is a physicist at mit and he helps the u.s. Government design satellite sensors back when they were developing radar in World War 2 back in 1444 they were developing reader frequencies around 24 gigahertz and it was working very well in the winter and then they tried to make measurements in the spring and there was a big degradation of the echoes coming back like the radar wasn't working as well because there was something in the atmosphere making a little bit of noise about specific frequency around 24 gigahertz and that something was moisture and that was really one of the eye opening things like was that the beginning of sort of modern weather protection that was certainly part of it by the late 1970 s. American scientists figured out how to build a sensor that could detect moisture from space by picking up that weak signal that water vapor makes every exactly 23.8 gigahertz and for the last 20 years information about what's going on at 23.8 bigger Hertz has been part of pretty much every weather forecast you see but gathering that data could get harder because 5 g. Operates really close by well the sensors are extremely sensitive we're trying to measure very small quantities and we're home on the order of a trillionth of a watch so any admission in the band from 23.6 to 24.0 The sensors will measure some part of that So the question becomes what levels of interference are tolerable interference from 5 g. The Federal Communications Commission has already auctioned off the 5 g. Frequencies right next to $24.00 gigahertz meteorologists worry that could make it hard to detect moisture there will just be. Too much 5 g. Communication going on at a congressional hearing in May an official from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that if 5 g. Is deployed as currently planned in the us it would take Noah's forecasting ability back to where it was around 1980 the wireless industry disputes that the claims that the 5 g. Would interfere with that are without any evidence whatsoever Nicholas Ludlum is the chief communications officer at c t i a the trade association for the wireless industry he says think about it like being in a car you know if you're if you're driving down the highway and there's big a line up trucks in that lane right next to you Well it's a big noisy traffic in this analogy moisture is your little car and 5 g. Is the truck traffic and the next lane they're not interfering with your ability to drive down the highway there's something to that perhaps but you know you have to think about maybe oh a wide load bumping into you Blackwell says the moisture sensor is currently in orbit and there are 2 of them for the us are affected by noise that's nearby and the other concern is that 5 g. May not operate perfectly in its lane multiple scientists told me that's a relatively common problem with other telecommunications technology studies by Noah and NASA as well as groups in Europe and the World Meteorological Organization have found that 5 g. Could interfere with moisture sensing European regulators intend to allow a lot less 5 g. Signal power than the f.c.c. Says it will allow here the wireless industry says allowing more power is important if the u.s.

Melissa Block is there and joins us now Hi there Melissa Good morning Steve what's it like to be an American fan and journalist of course watching the action there it's been electric I mean the last game against France played in Paris was extraordinary this one tonight in is against England as you say and it's going to be a really interesting match up I mean you have the u.s. Team that has 3 World Cup titles 4 Olympic gold medals to his name Team USA is the presumed favorite to win but look at England they're known as the Lionesses they've been showing just a huge amount of strength and speed and slippery play on the pitch and up until now England has never made the final in the World Cup So the real question is Will today's match change that keep an eye on one star English player that's Alan White she's an attacker she has 5 goals in 4 games which means she is tied with the u.s. Players Alex Morgan and Meghan Rypien Oh making a point I was asked about this matchup tonight's match against England and she said we absolutely have our work cut out for us what has made Megan Rypien know the standout name for the United States in these games everything about her both on the pitch and off so she scored all 4 u.s. Goals in these last 2 games she has been outspoken throughout her career on human rights and Q issues she made headlines for a spicy comment she made earlier this year when she said there is no bleeping way I'm going to the White House if the team wins the World Cup and Trump responded with some some angry tweets of his own she is brilliant in play her strategy her execution she is a clear fan favorite lip. We reach the headline in the spin on the Web site Deadspin when when the u.s. Beat host country France in the last game here then here's what they said purple haired lesbian goddess flattens France like a creep Ok Wow So there you go headline I think I maybe have never quite heard before all never before if Rypien 0 is scoring all the goals we must note that nobody else on the u.s. Side is at least in those last couple of games what's helped some of them down Yeah well I mean they have been facing really strong teams with a really tough defenders and that's going to be no different tonight England has the defender Lucy bronze who will be actually matched most likely up against making her Pino look also at Alex Morgan I mean Alex Morgan who scored 5 goals 5 of the u.s. Is 13 goals in their 1st match against Thailand a much less experienced team of course 5 goals from her but since then not a one unclear whether she is injured not playing at full strength or has just been defended extremely strongly she's been hacked a lot we've seen her on the ground and she's been slow getting up for the Americans already planning for the final. Well if you believe British tabloid newspapers they are there was a little mini scandal known as hotel gate here when the British team found what they called Brass necked members of the u.s. Staff infiltrating the English team's base in other words the hotel No look that's the hotel where the teams that are playing in the final game will be housed so it would not be at all unusual that the u.s. Team might be scouting it out one of the British papers had a headline are these Americans stars too arrogant so I don't know about this but I have learned a new phrase brass necked our own brass necked Melissa Block is covering the World Cup I'm not sure if that's a compliment Steve a thing I don't know if it means tough if it means on top of things it is you Melissa well gosh they She's in they own friends this is n.p.r.

From k. 11 years in San Francisco I'm fed up and this is the cross-currents Morning Report contacts culture and connection from around the bay area downtown Fruitvale I live in Lake Merritt neighborhood the Glenview you know. 2 weeks ago the trumpet ministration argued in court that they don't need to provide things like toothbrushes soap or beds to the migrant children they're detaining a few judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco had some choice words for them if you don't have a toothbrush if you don't have soap if you don't have a blanket it's not. What everybody agreed. There is fair reason to find that those things may be a part of. All our part this exchange went viral and it's contributed to a national outcry over the administration's treatment of detained children at least 6 children have died in Border Patrol custody since September 28th and the head of the agency recently resigned according to k.l. Abuse immigration reporter Theresa caught surreal as this viral moment also highlights something else the 9th Circuit's role in checking Trump's immigration policies and Theresa joins me now Hi Teresa Hey Ana So 1st off if you can just remind us what exactly is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals right so the Supreme Court is the most powerful federal court in the u.s. We all know that but if you go one step below that the 2nd most powerful courts in the us or in our federal system at least are these 13 circuit courts that person over different regions of the country the 9th Circuit is the largest of these courts by far it has a poet jurisdiction over 9 western states including California over 20 judges currently serve on the court which in the world of. Courts is a lot and the court is based right here in San Francisco Ok so why was the trumpet ministration arguing about toothbrushes in front of the 9th Circuit right so this hearing was about the Flores agreement which basically sets the standards for how the federal government treats the migrant children it detains the agreement was reached during the Clinton administration and it says Children must be held in quote safe and sanitary conditions now attorneys have argued for years that Florez wasn't being enforced and they filed a motion to that effect on the Obama years so fast forward to 2017 a federal judge ordered border control to appoint a monitor and make sure detain children get things like dry clothes and a real battle the Trump administration says that the judge's ruling went way beyond the Flores agreement and it argues that children don't need dry clothes or beds to be quote safe and sanitary that really happened yes it did it is all on tape. All right so the 9th Circuit sounded pretty skeptical of that argument all right they haven't ruled on this case yet but they certainly don't sound inclined to rule and the Trump administration's favor on this I should note that the judge you heard at the top of this story a judge to she may he's Japanese American and he was interned as a child and so that added a certain amount of emotional weight to that heated exchange. And this wouldn't be the 1st time they ruled against the trumpet ministration it would not so the 9th Circuit is somewhat more progressive than the other circuit courts and by the way that's not because it's based in San Francisco though you might hear people say that it's because many of its judges were appointed by Obama and Clinton even Carter there are still a few of them around and well the court has ruled in the Trump administration's favor several times like you might have heard of the remain in Mexico policy Circuit did rule in the trumpet ministrations favor on that however by and large they've played a really key role in blocking some of Trump's most well known immigration policy Muslim banned Muslim van Yeah so you know I'm sure we all remember that trump rolled out his travel ban against 6 majority Muslim countries right after taking office there was that chaotic week when it was in effect and then it just went away for a while that's because it was blocked by lower level courts and then the 9th Circuit kept ruling it was illegal they actually ruled it was illegal 3 different times I should note that the Supreme Court did eventually allow it isn't a fact but the 9th Circuit delayed it and here's another one remember Trump's asylum ban Yes When he had Yeah yeah Ok so the asylum ban for just a refresher course he issued a proclamation that would bar immigrants from seeking asylum if they initially crossed the border illegally it's around the time that people talk about the migrant caravan your tolerance here as tolerance exactly 0 tolerance well that policy never went into effect because once again it was also. Block by lower level court 9th Circuit ruled against the Trump administration there are a lot of examples of this 9th Circuit ruled against Trump when he tried and dock when he tried to defund sanctuary cities they've done it again and again right so what has been the terms administration reaction to these rulings. So let's just say that Trump has been very vocal about how unhappy he has done with this court and he has tweeted about this extensively the 9th Circuit is also ridiculed by members of the right wing media has called it the 9th Circus Newt Gingrich has called for the court to be a Balazs and the Trump administration is trying to pack the court in their favor How how are they planning to do that well by appointing new judges so there are several vacancies on the 9th Circuit and the trumpet ministration is busy appointing judges to those positions in May The u.s. Senate approved conservative Judge Daniel Collins as appointment to the bench over Democratic legislators objections including Democratic senators from California 16 of the 9th circuit judges were appointed by Democratic presidents but 11 spots are currently being filled by the Republicans and Trump has 2 vacancies left to fill conservatives I should mention have also flirted with just adding more judges to the court in general bringing the total number of the 9th Circuit Judges to $34.00 so that you could skew the entire court conservative but I will say legal experts think that that's unlikely to happen sounds like it's a big thorn in the side of the company ministration It sure is Ok Terry said thank you thank you Hannah Theresa is calle immigration reporter you can reach her at immigration at k l w dot org And don't forget to tune into cross currents today at 5 to hear more stories from around the bay for k.
