News I'm Noel King and I'm Steve Inskeep senators are preparing their turn in the impeachment process the House votes on 2 articles of impeachment this week and if that vote goes as expected the next step would be a trial before the Senate in January the presiding judge would be the Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and the jury is the $100.00 members of the Senate unlike ordinary jurors they set the rules they vote on which witnesses they want to hear and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has requested for they include Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security adviser John Bolton Senator Schumer is on the line now good morning good morning nice to talk to you know welcome back to the program why these 4 Well look 1st and foremost this is an enormously weighty and solemn responsibility and we send Senate Democrats believe that the trial has to be fair and it's important that the American people judge it to be fair and so there is lots of evidence that the House presented but these 4 witnesses have direct knowledge of why the aid to Ukraine was delayed there is no reason not to have them I haven't heard of a single good reason not to have them other than people are afraid of what they might say well the White House of course has claimed executive privilege and said that they will not not send them over and John Bolton is out of the White House has said he wants a court to decide whether he should go well here's the bottom line this has to be a fair trial and there are a good number of my Republican colleagues who have said that you know they need more evidence they're no better people in presenting this evidence than this so our Republican colleagues Leader McConnell and the president have 2 choices do they want to get all the evidence out or do they want to hide the evidence resist letting the facts come out and basically engage in a cover up this is very serious stuff Steve and these witnesses have direct knowledge and I haven't heard of a single reason why they shouldn't testify No I don't know maybe their evidence will be exculpatory but to exclude them. Gives the appearance at least and maybe more people are very afraid of what they might say What are they hiding as you know Senator Mitch McConnell has warned of mutual assured destruction here that if there witnesses on one side there would be on the other are you willing to accept some of the witnesses that Republicans want they for example some of them anyway would like to hear from Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden and pursue the conspiracy theories that the president was pursuing inside Ukraine Well again we want witnesses who will focus on what the facts that the House presented are I have even heard of a single fact that Hunter Biden might know that are relevant to the house charges you know if the Senators Lindsey Graham or others want to go do their own independent hearings fine but don't be smirch a very solemn proceeding our documents here is based on the 99 rules where there were witnesses Republicans voted for witnesses a limited number and they're based on the facts that the House presented if people don't want to hear these witnesses and instead try to put these shiny objects of conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact I don't think the American people want that so my appeal I'm sending this letter this morning to all the 100 senators I believe Republican senators will think that this is a fair proposal I'm certainly willing to listen to Mitch McConnell to alternatives but the idea that they can bring in this one or that one for political purposes who have nothing to do nothing to do with the specific facts that the House has alleged and will vote on this week is is demeaning to the entire process and I don't think the American people will stand for it now Mitch leases that some Republican senators won't stand for it either now Mitch McConnell was on Fox News over the weekend and has talked about the way that he intends to conduct this trial or our influence this trial of course is presided over by John Roberts but you need 51 senators to set. The rules here's something that McConnell says everything I do during this uncoordinated Well White House counsel may know the difference between the present position our position as to how to handle this Ok To be honest that doesn't sound impartial at all Senator but Republicans have said Democrats are just committed just as committed against the president is that correct we're committed to a fair trial where the facts come out and we're willing we don't know what these witnesses will say but whatever they say they should be heard from and Mitch McConnell when he says he's going to do just what the president wants it's sort of like a juror conspiring with a defendant it makes no sense that's not what a fair trial is about and what I tried to do in this letter and what we Democrats are trying to do is lay out for all of the Republican senators as well as the American people what a fair fair trial would be we're not interested in dilatory tactics we're not interested in come introducing our own conspiracy theories just the facts ma'am and that's what these 4 witnesses will produce of course it is a little different than a jury trial because it is a political process involving people who are supposed to defend an institution but are also partisans I do have a question though about your institutional role here I understand that senators Democratic senators want to defend the institution of Congress which the president refused to cooperate with but there's another institution here the institution of the presidency as you must know Senator in 2 previous impeachments of presidents both times the presidents were on the face of it Guilty as charged but both times enough senators decided it would be unwise for the country to remove him Do you worry that it would damage the presidency if you were to remove this president well 1st the facts must come out and 2nd if a president can so abuse power and he is not stopped will he do it again and even in a worse way will you. Sure presidents do it even more I think the danger here is the balance of powers and the checks on the president this president has shown a desire for almost undiminished power more than any other so I worry much more about the overreach of the president than a diminishment of the president you want to sure that this is serious enough to warrant not only rebuking the president some way but removing him from office I'm not making a final decision I want to hear the facts I think most of my Democratic colleagues want to hear the facts as well I think many of my Republican colleagues want to hear the facts as well this is an attempt to be fair if you look at this objectively it is right down the middle equal time for both sides nothing dilatory you know there's an American expression speedy but fair justice that's what this letter be speaks of so thank you very much thank you Steve I got to run Steve Ok Senator thanks so much bye bye that's Chuck Schumer the Democratic leader in the Senate and N.P.R.'s Mara Liasson was listening along to that Mara what did you hear that well I heard Chuck Schumer trying to make a distinction between the witnesses that Trump wanted to call like Hunter and Joe Biden and then the witnesses that the president has refused to allow to testify you know the fact that the president made the ask he asked the Ukrainian president to investigate the Bidens that's established but Republicans complained that what wasn't established was the quid pro quo questions about the delayed aid they said we didn't have a lot of direct evidence about that so now Chuck Schumer is saying well let's call the people who would have direct evidence about that delayed aide what the president said about it and wanted to to to do about it and that's why he's asking for these 4 witnesses including the former national security adviser John Bolton and the acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and he's saying look at the call is. Perfect and there was no quid pro quo then these witnesses will tell us that why not let them testify that's that's the the strong argument that he's making what we don't know is how Mitch McConnell will respond and we should note about the senator's abrupt departure there he promised a 7 minutes and gave exactly that and went away I do have to ask though what is the circumstance under which Chuck Schumer would get his way does he have to win some Republicans over to his side in order to get the witnesses that he wants Yes or he just makes a deal with Mitch McConnell I mean that's usually how these rules are worked out the Democratic leader in the Republican leader work out the rules as he said they did in 1990 for the Clinton trial Ok so it's so this is this letter that Chuck Schumer is sending as part of a negotiation right Mara thanks so much thank you that's N.P.R.'s Mara Liasson.

Thank you on college campuses across India students are demonstrating today there have been almost a week of protests over a new Indian citizenship law it offers amnesty to migrants who are not Muslim critics say it discriminates against Muslims N.P.R.'s Lauren Frayer reports that in the capital New Delhi The protests have gotten violent. Then flowing into the John was more than 200 people were injured when Delhi Police stormed the campus of University last night they fired tear gas and beat students with batons dormitories were evacuated videos posted to social media show bloody students fleeing into a library in a men's restroom the university's vice chancellor now. Told reporters she's filing a police report against police. Is still quite a way I live in a damaged property can be recovered but the emotional toll this is taking on our kids cannot be repaired she said the citizenship Amendment Act passed by parliament last week offers amnesty to undocumented migrants from 3 Muslim majority countries that neighbor India Pakistan Afghanistan and Bangladesh to be eligible the person has to be a persecuted with just minority a Buddhist Christian or Hindu for example and not a Muslim the government says India should be a refuge for those minorities but critics say that by excluding Muslims this citizenship offer violates India's constitution but. At a protest today in Mumbai students read aloud the Constitution's preamble which defines India as a secular democratic republic Prime Minister Narendra Modi a Hindu nationalist tweeted that no Indian has anything to worry about with this new law but he also made a comment at a political rally last night. One of. Those behind these violent tests can be identified by their clothes the prime minister said seemed to suggest that anyone in Muslim attire was a suspect India has one of the world's largest Muslim populations about 180000000 people who many believe are increasingly disenfranchised under Modis government Lauren Frayer n.p.r. News Mumbai. This is n.p.r. News It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm know well King good morning the longest ever global climate talks ended on Sunday in Madrid but with not much to show the summit was supposed to get countries on track to meet the targets of the Paris climate accord that didn't really happen u.n. Secretary General Antonio described the event as a lost opportunity David just got back from the summit and he's in our studio Good morning good morning he's director of the International Climate Institute at the World Resources Institute which is an environmental research group so what was the mood when the summit broke up. Not a great mood in many ways this was sort of talks meant to take forward the Paris Agreement which is the landmark climate agreement that was struck in 2015 and that now needs to move forward on many fronts and what we saw there in Madrid was a strong sense of a disconnect a Gulf really between what we've been seeing in the streets with with protesters and with youth with businesses in cities around the world taking action all of that on the one hand and on the other hand what was actually taking place in the negotiating halls and what countries were saying and doing and so I guess the question is it seems like the activists are pushing pushing pushing in the countries are saying no no no not not yet why why was the outcome so disappointing Well the biggest gap was really with the major economies the biggest emitters in the world and they are they have been dragging their heels many of them on taking action next year is a critical moment in fact under the Paris agreement countries are meant to ramp up their actions meant to strengthen their commitments under the agreement and there was a lot of fuel dragging on that question and it wasn't really until the last 24 hours when we saw that many of the vulnerable countries small island countries least developed countries pushed very hard to have language. On strengthening action next year and so we saw that come through but it was really in the last moment and meanwhile there were other elements of the Paris Agreement that were meant to be taken forward for example on carbon markets that didn't really come to fruition there why carbon markets was it was a big point of this summit can you explain just briefly you know it's kind of confusing but why is there no agreement on what should happen with carbon markets why is that so hard to get to well the issues on the table were about how to go about trading carbon credits among countries and there were a couple of issues in play but mostly this came down to what to do with the carbon credits from the previous agreement the Kyoto Protocol Ok which we're coming to an end and there are some countries Brazil was really at the forefront of them who want to use carbon credits from the Kyoto Protocol In other words from before 2020 for action that's supposed to happen after 2020 leading up to it for the next decade essentially So there was that push from Brazil and some of its allies Meanwhile Australia also wanted to use a lot of carbon credits that it has from that previous arrangement so this was sort of you know taking the old elements of action taking those old emission reductions and saying well apply them to the future to the action that needs to happen over the next decade we know from what the science has told us we need to cut emissions globally in about half by 2030 so this would erode the kind of action that actually is needed on the ground this is a disagreement over how we move forward Ok the u.s. Was involved in these talks even though the temp administration has withdrawn from the Paris climate accord How does that play with the other countries they're not well the us was particularly vocal on questions of finance not really wanting there to be strong signals on financing climate action in developing countries who need it both to reduce emissions and to adapt to the serious impacts that they're having. And it was really quite concerning to see the u.s. Being so vocal at a time when it's going to be out of the agreement fully in a year's time from now do you see any any room for optimism any real reason for optimism moving forward well next year is a critical year is the year 2021 countries are met to increase their action strengthen their commitments under Paris and we've seen some movement the European Union for example has moved forward but others need to now take that next step the alarm bell is ringing Ok All eyes on 2020 David with the World Resources Institute thanks so much for coming in thank you hey this is c.p.r.

Driving down Interstate 70 in Eagle County take care of my car is there not just tools of Transportation for me and that's why I could feel him start to get nervous as an 18 wheeler passes us the roads here are covered with sand and small rocks to help with traction when it's no way out the trucks a big tires kick up some of that and fling it backward right into Mark Bergman's windshield that's the small stuff Bergmann slows down to let the truck pass quickly has been Merc skates unfazed today but in the 4 years since he moved here from the Northeast Bergmann says he's had 4 windshields replaced and one memory stands out it was a beautiful clear day in the late spring probably late May early June a stone came flying and hit the windshield on my Mazda Miata I'm just glad I have to top up what was your reaction a familiar with the 7 words George Carlin said you couldn't say on t.v. And radio I won't get into it here but they are not nice words insurance generally covers the cost of repairs and replacements but getting them done can be a hassle and so urgent called me. Because he wanted an answer to this question why does seem. Very large aggregate bore stones as I'll call them instead of sand for traction so I called si dot and talk to Kyle Lester see DOT's director of maintenance and operations and he feels the market Bergman's pain you ever had your own which occurred yes I believe it's cracked right now. Lester says see that uses an aggregate that's a little bigger than playground sand about a quarter inch at the largest and he smaller than that and he says it would wash off the road too quickly and plug up nearby rivers and that's a big deal watersheds are very fragile and the state uses tens of thousands of tons of aggregate every winter and there's one more reason to see that mixes the aggregate with liquid to help it stick to the road better if the sand is too tiny it'll turn into mud if you have to find of a product that will. Leave the truck Lester admits that sometimes some bigger rocks will slip through he blames that on quality control issues and Lester says those issues are just a fact of life when you buy as much of this stuff as si dot does Eagle County Government uses a similar aggregate on local roads so I called Mark Burgman back and ran all of this by him he was not impressed Well I'd really like to see si dot improve their quality control and while I'm not on some long great crusade I'd like to try to activate our state representatives to have them take a look at it too in the meantime it seems like this will probably remain very common what I'm going to start by doing is heating this up just in this small area Steve Moore with novus out a glass holds a tiny blowtorch so you can get this at Home Depot for 30 bucks we're in a garage of a home in the Vail Valley Steve Moore is leaning over a Mercedes-Benz with a tiny chip in its windshield he says of chips aren't fixed at this stage they could likely spread into bigger cracks more of them. Oyster from the glass so the repair resin will hold tight next he attaches a tool with a big suction cup to the glass so basically I'm forcing glue into the damage and removing the air then he uses a u.v. Light to cure the resin and make it hard the whole thing takes about 20 to 30 minutes more says he's done this repair $10.00 to $15.00 times per day in the winter since he started off his franchise in the early eighties back then the industry was still young people didn't know when shields could even be repaired Novus is now a multinational conglomerate We're all over the world I think we're in 43 countries doing chip repairs and obviously Colorado is one of the biggest markets for it he's done this repair nearly $200000.00 times but he says he doesn't get bored I run into friends all day long it's pretty social and I'm helping people out and they're usually pretty happy when I'm there and happy when I leave it's not hard to see why because even if drivers here have to deal with little dings and cracks the view through that glass of the Colorado Rockies it makes it all worth it I'm nothing no miner c.p.r.

Oriented Stam worker oriented innovation industries 5 places garnered 90 plus percent of all of the growth of our defined innovation sectors so you know the stronger getting much stronger and most other places are going sideways or worse so 1st of all you like to spread the innovation there for spreading the wealth some of argued that innovation just wants to be where it should be and any outcome is what the market. Wants we don't see it that way we see think that a lot of things can happen along the road that lock in maybe sub optimal dynamics and I think there's a lot of evidence that having the bulk of our innovation sector in a narrow set of coastal metros is leaving huge problems so we think there are all kinds of reasons to encourage more growth elsewhere in the rest of the country and you pitch this idea of a growth center what is a growth center a growth center is a place that is designated to receive substantial federal investments what we call an innovation search to get to the next level of you know innovation sector growth and change and you know we think we should be so let you know select .
