From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I'm Mary Louise Kelly if you're trying to make sense of the whistleblower complaint why it matters what it means you could do worse than to practice one of the basic tenets of investigative journalism follow the money in this case hundreds of millions of dollars in security aid to Ukraine and why it was held up back in June June 18th the Pentagon announced plans to provide 250000000 to Ukraine but the money was not released it was frozen and the lawmakers on Capitol Hill who had voted to send all that aid to Ukraine had no idea why among them Adam Smith he chairs the House Armed Services Committee Congressman welcome to All Things Considered Thanks for having me on I appreciate the chance so what I would love to do is walk step by step through the timeline of what happened when this summer and I want to know if there are actually 2 pots of money I know there was another line of money supposed to come from the State Department but from where you sat running the Armed Services Committee when did you 1st learn that security assistance to Ukraine had been frozen I don't remember the exact date it was in that July time right Ok the president signed it we just assumed it was going out and then we started to hear from a variety of people that it was going and that was somewhere around July we were not notified by the Pentagon or anybody from the executive branch that this decision had been made is that unusual that you would not be notified by the Pentagon or the White House or it is very unusual so we found out in a back handed to it away and then call the Pentagon to say it's true if you got that release that money yeah well it is well why. They didn't have any up to that question all right so let me fast forward us along on our timeline to August 30th you wrote a letter on that day to Mick Mulvaney the head of the Office of Management and Budget o.m.b. Also acting White House chief of staff yeah we wanted to have as much force behind the letter. Possible so he did it a bipartisan way and Ranking Member Thornberry Republican on the Armed Services Committee an awful lot are saying you know please release the money and please tell us why you're holding it up yeah I've got this letter in front of me it's it's straightforward one page please inform the committee why these funds are being held and when they will be released did you get an answer we did not. Guess I suppose an answer is sort of but not saying why we don't know when it's going to be released and then as we've dug into it further the answer that really got was it was a White House decision you're hearing this from who from when you're reaching out to the Pentagon they're telling you that asked the White House yes Ok. So this brings us to last month September aid was released finally how did you find out well it was there there was a lobbying campaign that was the ballclub lobbying campaign camp who wanted to get paid for the weapons and once that eventually was narrowed down the vision came out of the White House and the mood was down further the decision really came directly from the president by understanding that people reached out to the freedom Caucus who were in favor of releasing pardons and they also have a good relationship president the members of the Freedom caucus were asked to directly lobby the president to release the file and in my initial post for 2nd how are you certain that this was a decision made at the very very top by the president personally how do you know that I'm not certain that's just what I've been told 2nd and 3rd hand as we walk into lobbyist and present people who could potentially have influence on this who are trying to figure it out it was reported back that it was the decision of the president and crucially I am also told that in those conversations and again this is 2nd and 3rd and it was not terribly shocked the president about saying that he was holding up the spot because he wanted the Ukrainians to do these investigations of. Crowd Strike and about Joe and Hunter bite you're referring to some of the points that the president raised according to this readout that the White House has released of the call with the president of Ukraine back in July what do you know Adam Smith personally believe happened here do you believe there's a connection between this aid money being frozen and the president asking for help from Ukraine in digging up dirt on his political rivals I have no doubt whatsoever that exactly what happened I mean. There is no other explanation but again let me push you do you have any evidence that proves that is what happened other than what I just said in terms of what I heard 2nd and 3rd hand about what happened I do not have direct evidence but also the readout says that. He says it was done all this stuff for you but we need a favor that is the tape you never never explicitly resists the aid money to Ukraine and that phone call least according to the readout the White House has made public but I understand that he does raise the help and support that we have given to the Ukraine and help very generous to them and also it is worth remembering that this is a White House some of the phone call this is not everything that was said in the hall we have asked for a month now what's the explanation if it wasn't this why did you not and the much and he had no I mean he has given Well he has 60 has given a number of explanations for the dollar they've shifted he has raised Ukraine's alleged failure to address corruption he has said European countries weren't pulling their weight here yet but until the whistleblower information till the public you know the money not to be released no explanation was offered by the White House or the Pentagon to why the money was being released. Washington Democrat Adam Smith he is chair of the House Armed Services Committee Congressman thanks very much for your time thanks appreciate the chance. U.s. Negotiators are trying to restart talks with the Taliban to see if they can take a step towards ending the war in Afghanistan and these are the same negotiators who were making progress until President Trump called things off last month but the government of Afghanistan has never been a party to these talks and to understand what ordinary Afghans might want to happen to their country we will go there now we're going to talk to N.P.R.'s Dia deed she is in Kabul Hey there Dia hello So give me a sense of to what extent people in Afghanistan are following the stalled talks what do they think about them well they do follow them pretty closely as far as I can tell I spoke to about a dozen people over the past 3 days and I spent a lot of time in public gardens it's this beautiful old shit style garden in the middle of Kabul that it dates back hundreds of years and there's always people around just enjoying the trees the flowers taking a break from the chaos outside and. Just about everyone I met said they talk that desperate for the war to end though following this closely because they want to see what's going to happen to their country and so for instance there's one guy I spoke to his name is How should the last money his 27 Have a listen to what he says. The most so it's really interesting because us money says yeah he wants peace just like everyone else but he doesn't trust the Taliban to lay down their weapons this conflict has gone on for too long for him to trust them and he says he doesn't know if Afghan forces will be able to keep the country secure alone and so he says they need u.s. Forces here they need them to keep citizens safe so he wants u.s. Forces to stay is that a widely held view in Afghanistan there's plenty of Afghans who do feel that way but there's plenty more off gods who are just desperate for the war to end and when they hear that the Taliban want us forces to go so they'll lay down their weapons that's something they're willing to consider like here's a guy here that runs a kiosk and he says his own brother was killed in a Taliban suicide bombing last year so this means a lot to him but he says his willing to support this pay still because he hopes that if the Americans leave Afghans can talk to each other and maybe they can find a way to a peaceful resolution I'm sure how people wrestle with the prospect of the Taliban and these charges the Taliban of course didn't rule Afghanistan before it was a brutal regime women in particular women weren't allowed to leave their homes or get educations when you speak to women in Afghanistan dear which is they say about the prospect of a deal with the Taliban so this is interesting Mary Louise because not a single man I met up what it would be like for women if the Taliban did lay down their weapons if they did come into power but just about every single woman I spoke to this was at the forefront of what they were telling me now bear in mind Kabul is more liberal than all the parts of Afghanistan so we went to a private university nearby and we spoke to. 2 a bunch of girls were sitting in a classroom including some intimates of the and she was a red head scarf and Mike a lot of the women here she's in tight jeans and sneakers and on long leash was a bit of makeup this isn't the Kabul of 2001 nor of the ninety's you don't really see a lot of women here in burkas anymore and she says she was pleased actually when the talks fell apart the last time because she was worried that the Taliban would come to power and that they would take away women's rights and she says I've come so far the hormone half of us in the have them on the show she says women's rights shouldn't be trampled on they shouldn't be crushed under the fate of off balance but here's the thing so I ask her like will just say you can't have both if you have to choose between freedom or pace What are you going to choose and how many things about this and she falls quiet and then she says well she wants pace and she says too many women are being widowed and there to me children who are growing up without fathers so the war has to end even if she loses her freedom. Heartbreaking to hear and to contemplate somebody in a position of having to worry choices like that. I do want to before we let you go ask about something concrete that just happened that impacts all of this which is the presidential election Afghanistan just had one we don't yet know the results how might this affect the peace process in these talks well so far it looks at this stage that maybe 20 percent of all eligible voters turned out to vote which is the lowest number ever for an Afghan presidential elections and that means that if they Stokes do go ahead that president whoever he is May not have the legitimacy to forcefully become a part of these talks and that means that ordinary Afghans may well have a week a voice in a process where already they fairly excluded.

News this is All Things Considered I'm Mary Louise Kelly when it comes to surviving the warming climate scientists are finding that some plants and animals have an edge you can think of them as super adapters and the hope is that they can help preserve their species Lauren Sommer from member station k.q.e.d. Takes us to California Sierra Nevada to meet one when California's historic drought ended a few years ago the tally of dead trees was pretty staggering 129000000 it was terrible to see it broke my heart Patricia Maloney watched it happen as a forest and conservation biologist with u.c. Davis So here you have like a pretty large sugar pine here. We're walking in a national forest on the shore of Lake Tahoe with lots of sugar pines a tree that John Muir once called the king of conifers and a lot of them are brown and dead but Maloney isn't looking at those I look for the good you know I see that living in Sugar Pie I see that living sugar pine I see that living sugar pine against the odds these living tree survived what killed off their neighbors the drought for sure but what really did it. Is under the bark she shows me where pine beetles ate whining channels through a dead tree like little highways little beetle highways pine trees can usually fight the Beatles off by spewing out sticky resin which traps them but during California's 5 year drought the trees didn't have enough water the tank ran dry and they were unable to mobilize any sort of resin but some sugar pines could fight the Beatles off even with the drought that got Maloney wondering what's so special about these trees she started studying them and what we found is that the ones that were green like this one were more water you sufficient then their dead counterparts the survivors could do more with less water the drought was basically a natural. Experiment that we did out all but the toughest trees so Maloney is trying to make sure their descendants survives so how many do you think of that are these are about 10000 sugar pine seedlings back at Moloney's field station she shows off rows of tiny 6 inch trees each in its own container they grew from seeds that came from $100.00 of the survivor sugar pines over the next year these young trees will be replanted around Lake Tahoe is like going off to college. But the hope is that these trees will be able to handle a changing climate and more extreme droughts these survivors matter because they may have the genetic predisposition to be more resilient to a warmer climate and maybe more frequent beetle outbreaks Maloney is looking at the genetics of these trees to figure out exactly what's giving them the edge scientists are starting to do this for all sorts of species see this next 80 years as the time when we have to save as much as possible Steve Palumbi is a biology professor at Stanford University he's been looking for coral that can handle heat reefs are bleaching and dying as oceans warm so Palumbi is growing surviving corals in the hope that they can build new reefs kind of like super corals if it gives us another decade or gives us another 2 generations. That will be good will take it but beyond that is that enough is a trivial those are the questions that are going to be answered species by species in place but place even for these super adapters the climate may be changing too fast for them to keep up but scientists are trying to give them all the help they can by buying them a little more time for n.p.r. News I'm Lauren Sommer. Now our millennial Zz really as bad as some people say Cardiff Garcia and Sally Herships from our daily economics podcast the indicator from Planet Money say maybe not. Earlier generations have sometimes labeled millennial as lazy coddled afraid of traditional adult milestones like marriage and kids and buying a house but that is a bum rap and want to kind of this has made it a personal mission to explain why I'm great Kember Oh and I'm an economist at American University Gray has been referred to by The Washington Post as a serial millennial myth debunker millennial as are young adults who are now between the ages of roughly 22 to 38 and the place we're going to start the place we have to start is with the economy the data show that the economy really has been worse for millennial than it has been for people in prior generations when they were young adults Gray looked at the average amount that the u.s. Economy has grown in the 10 years after each member of a generation reached the age of 18 and here's what he found in the 10 years after millennial is reached the age of 18 the economy has grown by an average of about 18 percent for both Gen x. And the boomers It grew by about twice that much when members of those generations turned 18 young adults in general had steadily been moving out of their parents' houses out later and later ages starting in the sixty's and seventy's but that only started increasing by all lot around the year 2000 when the 1st millennium goals were around 18 or 19 years old young women and men in their twenty's are more likely to live with their parents now than any time since World War 2 And you can see a similar trend when it comes to young adults living in their own homes as opposed to renting starting in the middle of the last decade after the u.s. Housing market collapsed and dragged the rest of the economy down with it there was a huge decline in the share of people in their twenty's who lived in a home that was own rather than a home that they were renting Gray says actually the most likely reason that young adults have been living at home longer and putting off buying houses is the economy the age when young adults get married is getting higher but that has been. Steady trend since the 1960 s. Plus a much higher share of millennial is go to college and graduate than people from earlier generations and so the amount of college debt has climbed a lot since the middle of the last decade which also makes it harder for young adults to afford houses to take all these things in combination in you can see that the reason young adults have put off these milestones like buying houses and having kids does not match the stereotype of the lazy and self-absorbed millennial and if you want more proof Gray is not finished busting millennial myths there's one that really annoys him it's the myth that says millennial are disloyal to their employers hopping from job to job unable to stay put in one place but this is also nonsense Gray says young adults now switch jobs at much lower rates than Gen Xers and baby boomers did when they were young and there is an optimistic even hopeful story to tell about millennial this is more speculative but with more college degrees than prior generations young adults now is set themselves up to be more productive in the economy for the long term and because they endured the financial crisis 10 years ago at a young impressionable age it's also possible that the liberals are going to be less likely to inflate a big housing market bubble or some other financial bubble from buying things they can't afford this also would make economic growth more sustainable in the long run and if so then for once instead of blaming this generation of young people for being lazy or putting off adulthood maybe the rest of us will end up thanking them instead part of Garcia Sally Herships n.p.r.

Is not allowed to retaliate and that's true as far as it goes but just as the United States has been challenging Europe over illegal subsidies for Airbus the Europeans have accused the United States of illegal subsidies for Boeing they're pressing their own case of the day that's running about 6 months behind the American case when it's decided sometime next year it's entirely possible the European governments will level tariffs on American goods including those Boeing jets and aviation analyst Scott Hamilton of the lead him company says that could hamper Boeing's efforts to recover from the worldwide grounding of its 737 Max planes I would think that one would not want to have terror scoring on to those airplanes right now they're just under so much financial pressure that that's the last headache that they need but Boeing has a decades long history of pursuing trade complaints one of that makes sense to or not and if all that's not enough Mary Louise keep in mind the ministrations still considering a to. Arraf on imported cars from Europe that would make the stakes in this food fight a whole lot bigger and Pierce Scott Horsley thank you Scott you're welcome. There were many remarkable moments in President Trump's press conference with the president of Finland Sally minister yesterday but only one drew laughter from the press corps that was when Finnish journalist Mari corporate and rose to ask a question for President mean is that because this is the biggest issue here at the moment they have to ask what kind of favors has Mr Trump asked from you. Say not so subtle allusion to President Trump's now famous call with the president of Ukraine in which according to the White House readout of the call Trump said I would like you to do or say favor though carbon is in the studio with me now welcome thank you very much I have to ask you Is this your 1st White House press conference actually my character 31st time I had a chance to ask a question as you know you get one shot at thinking what you're going to ask a president when you get the one moment to do it how did you go about trying to figure out what task Well I wanted to ask about the basement inquiry and I talk with my colleagues and we all agreed we need to ask also from the president like what kind of favors Trump might have asked from him but as we know basically when asked it didn't let our president answer 1st he wanted to answer 1st or the other way around you would favors a story that I think you know there's a way to read are you satisfied with the answer you got of course not because Trump tried to turn it around and our president's answer was a very very careful diplomatic We had a conversation and discuss when a very basis which he's I greatly appreciate that and later on when he met with the Finnish press after that I found out he was. And very happy about my question at all actually but then also he had a little regret that he wasn't more direct at the press conference and he told to the Finnish press that no president hasn't asked me any extra favors he wanted to be very clear but very clear in saying President Trump has not asked him for any special favors he has granted and this was a readout to the finish press afterward yes I want to play you a little bit of one of President Trump's answers to another reporter an American reporter Jeff Mason of warders who is part of the White House press corps you corrupt much of the media in this country is not just fake it's corrupt and you have some very fine people too great journalist great reporters but it to a large extent it's corrupt and it's fake yes the president of Finland the question please Ok I wonder what was it like to to watch that to hear that from the perspective of a foreign correspondent covering America well of course not 1st of all hearing it the have been here many years already but it feels terrible and that we wanted to actually ask our president at the same press conference how he feels about it Finland is a very strong country of democratic institutions like United as it's also some people in Finland were told that he would be maybe more brave and say something like for example when we were at the all of it is start to say how dress is again enemy of the people and our president is sitting there quietly of course I don't know what else he can do but some people think he should really say something and you know and some people think this is the only right way to do also like he has to respect the president of the United States he's it's his guest etc But that's gotten divisive figures people what we think about that fine line between being respectful of your host but also standing up for something such as the freedom of the press which is important in Finland as it is to here in the United. Of course this is kind of the base of everything at the Democrats that is Mari Karpen and she's u.s. Correspondent for m.t.v. News Finland thanks so much thank you very much for having.

Is collecting information about you and so are all the other Internet of Things devices in your home who's using your personal data and why it's coming up on Science Friday tomorrow morning at 11 here on Key c.l.u. . From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I'm Mary Louise Kelly the writer Lauren Groff wants you to know she is on a rescue mission the object of her efforts is also a writer named Nancy Hale if you've never heard of Nancy hill that is precisely the point Hale published her 1st short story in The New Yorker when she was 21 in the 3 decades since her death in 1988 Hale has been almost entirely forgotten So Lauren Grof who is a big Nancy Hale fan took action she has pulled together 25 of what she considers Hale's most important stories in a collection titled Where the light falls I asked Groff who will know from her own short story collection Florida and her novel fates and Furious I asked her how many see Hale went from someone with dozens and dozens of stories in The New Yorker to someone we forgot about you know I don't know definitively it's very hard to tell I think part of it is that her stories are very quiet and very elegant and she's possibly not fashionable at the moment her style of writing but I find her incredibly fascinating she creates these these lines that are full of a humming electricity and her structures are so deep in so thoughtful that you don't really understand what you're reading until maybe a couple of days later when you realize exactly the craft that went into creating her short story they span the gamut some of them are highly lyrical other ones are satirical and very funny so we did put together this collection of 25 short stories they're oh interesting in their own way and you can sort of see the development of a writer over the course of decades right now absolutely you can feel she's obviously as as you would expect writing very different things than in her later years than she was as a very young writer how do you pick the stories that you limit on out of the many many once. Well I know that my name is on the cover but the Library of America was at least an equal partner if not more Reggie who he there went into the archives into he he found every single short story she'd ever published in the most as a tearing small little magazine and John Cook and Reggie and I had multiple really long debates and conversations about which stories to include There were many passionate speeches on all sides particularly mine. We ended up with battles to the death battle. It was bloody but he was also joyous because there are 3 of us just super fans of Nancy. I mean people always ask fiction writers as you would know better than anyone how much of your writing how much of your protagonist is you at readers always say it's fiction and I made it all up but you write that with Hale it's actually really matters to know what her real life story was when you're reading the stories you know every theory that a fiction writer writes has something of them in them and I had to go through her story and sort of understand where they came from in her life she wrote so close to the bone to her own life in many ways and you can see herself in her characters in these stories in a lot of them aren't so let's get to some of the stuff she writes about because she writes about things that are uncomfortable to discuss today and 2019 must have been incredibly edgy at the time she was writing some of these She writes about. Mothers feeling ambivalent about their children she writes about how oppressive a marriage can be she writes beautifully about female desire I actually wanted to what you read a little bit from one of her stories titled midsummer I love the story I loved it too so we should set the stage this is from the point of view of a teenage girl who is How should we put it blossoming into her physical desires over the long hot summer. It's. About lost good they would ride through the woods that sultry ominous August from the hard ground littered with spots of sifted sun on the hills the horses would carry them in a minute to the hollows there was something terrible about the hollows deep bottomed with decaying leaves smelling of dead water and dark leafage an insufferable heat the sound of the horses' feet was like a confused heart beat on the swampy ground they both felt it the used to get off the horses without having said a word and helplessly submerged themselves in each other's arms while the sweat ran down their backs under their shirts they never talk there they stood swaying together with their booted feet deep in the mulch holding each other hot and mystified in this green gloom from far away in the upper Meadows they could always hear the cicada reaching in unbearable sharp and crescendo. Lauren gruff I think I'm fanning myself sitting there. I mean you can feel the just summer love and how do steers by desire and she was writing this we just looked in 1034 when not a lot of women were writing this stuff and absolutely she was she was those is one of her earliest stories I think it's maybe the 3rd or 4th in the book and it is the one where I saw the Nancy Hill herself of future stories sort of took full force of the stage and she was really powerful and the story talk about one of the stories in her that woman is the title which is all about Southern women and manners and sex rates so this is a very powerful story also and I think that this story is about the way that women devour their own in some ways and particularly in small towns and in towns where sex is seen as a detriment Yeah there were a few stories in here that I did not love and there was a mole. But we're starting to question your judgment and together I will confess and then I got to one titled to the north and it just knocked me out I mean it's about a boy and his summers on the beach and how he grows into a man and his character is forming it's fantastic right in my view and I gather it's one of your favorites as well it is my very favorite in the book but you know also part of what our arguments were where abouts showing sort of the larger artistic growth of a writer and so I have to admit there are some stories in this that aren't my favorite either. But they seems importance in terms of Nancy Hale as a rounds person in showing her work through time to the north is exquisite I just found it. Full of repressed longing Yeah I mean I wonder to you as someone who writes very well received short stories is it inspiring or is it daunting to come across somebody else who could write a short story that was pretty darn near perfect Oh it's inspiring always this is one of the reasons why I wanted this book to come into the world it's because you know there are so many brilliant writers now being forgotten there's so many brilliant writers contemporary writers who have not been given the platform they deserve in the literary world is not 0 sum even though sometimes we are led to believe that it is there's enough attention and enough love for everyone and I think that it's all of our duty if we are given a certain amount of privilege to to say to readers Hey look at this person you may not know please read this exquisite story and I hope you will love the n.c.o. As much as I do I hope you'll love other contemporary writers as much as I do. That is the author Lauren Groff talking about the new book Where the light.
