Repeated Saudi Arabia's commitment to work with the United States to prevent a similar attack from happening again Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren earned about $2000000.00 through private legal work that dates back to 1985 that information was released by her campaign last night N.P.R.'s Holland says that Warren is facing pressure to be more forthcoming about her previous corporate legal ties Warren's disclosures come in missed an ongoing spat over transparency between her and one of her 2020 Democratic presidential rivals. The Massachusetts senator is known these days is a crusader against corporations but at times in her past she has provided counsel to corporations such as Getty Oil and Dow Chemical compensation data for Warren's work is now publicly available on her website her decision to release all of this information indicates how much she sees as a direct political threat and also allows her to push the issue of transparency back to him Warren has been criticizing the judge for holding closed door fundraisers and demanding that he would lease the names of his big money donors.

News I'm Steve Inskeep And I'm Rachel Martin and this morning I want to tell you about some time I spent with Joe Biden recently we met up with him in Elkader Iowa on Friday this is a little town about an hour and a half outside of Cedar Rapids and a couple 100 people had gathered into this community center to see the former vice president his tour bus is an hour late but no one inside seems to mind muscle What kind of people show up for Joe Biden at this point of the campaign so mostly big fans I do have to say when I was just doing a rough count of this particular group probably a couple 100 folks as I mentioned less than 15 or so are under the age of 50 I got a whole lot of oh we loved you know there was this real sense of familiarity about him I heard more than once he's been around a long time and in this crowd Steve that is not a negative thing people appreciate that experience a lot of them were wearing these no malarkey stickers which is what Biden has named his bus tour which we have to say is not exactly a name that makes you think of the future but it is very job by long long word to get on a button but it's on their aid. Or you could have you take your shoes great to see so this is the best for us us larky So we are with him on the bus this is the 3rd time the vice president has campaigned for president in Iowa he's currently polling 4th in that state behind Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren and Peabody judge Biden is hoping that a recent endorsement from a former presidential candidate who did well in Iowa might help him and we're not talking about Barack Obama Well let me ask you you recently got an endorsement from your friend Senator John Kerry former Secretary of State John Kerry. There are some within your party in particular younger voters who look to. The former secretary of state and it's a warning for them for 2020 because they think about 2004 because while John Kerry came from behind to win Iowa. He still lost the presidential race and he was he was the stabilizing force he was the guy with the name recognition he was going to right the ship after George w. Bush who was at the time fairly unpopular. That's the liberal rap on you right now that a moderate can't beat Donald Trump look at all the polling data show me where the Democratic Party doesn't want you know you don't even like polls you know I say you can't trust the polls we can't but we just just travel with me travel with me look what's happening know what's moderate about my want to make sure everybody has health care I just have a different view than other people do and if you notice the vast majority of people agree with my position here agree with my position on education they agree with that and so the idea that there's something that quote I am moderate one of the things that I wish I had that label when I was running north all the time from this . Some water because I was what I was always rated as one of those liberal senators United States Senate probably there but you're not nearly as progressive on on health care as other candidates in the house because we're realistic guess what you're going to find $33.00 trillion dollars in 10 years so not raise tax look you are beginning to be more honest and you have bet you're looking at now and saying Ok those who for Medicare for all are going to have to raise taxes on middle class you let everybody not answer that question for the longest time. So Steve I should take a moment and just describe the scene here we're both situated on this black leather bench on the bus as it is driving on the highway it's a really small space we're probably only a few inches apart from one another and when I bring up any criticism of the campaign Biden bristles and leans in to make his point he is especially displeased with a question about his challenge with younger voters a recent Harvard poll shows him with only 18 percent of the vote between people between the ages of $18.29 why do you think there's an enthusiasm gap there is an enthusiasm gap whatever you're talking about I'm talking about a lot of young people who say Joe Biden's got a lot of experience he's been around a long time and that's not come with me on college campuses you don't see that you guys keep saying this because I've talked to people who just say I want someone from the outside and that salute to meet each other tell me how we were sure you have she said I want someone who can bring some outside energy because I don't think an insider can Donald Trump because he is so outside the norm at the moment demands someone who is not of the establishment What do you say to something I say the fact of the matter is that's the case the case is look the next person like to be treasurer has to be able to pass something they knew would they all the rest of the candidates combined in fashion don't trump is the reason why you need someone who knows what they're doing Donald Trump they me somebody is going to be able to stand a little stage and really. Man the respect of everyone in the world while Barack Obama was able to do it and he didn't have 9 inches he didn't know that's not true Think about it that's not true what happened was one of the reasons Barack Obama picked me as vice president is because he lacked the background in foreign policy is a brilliant guy he knew what he wanted to do he knew how to get it done you brought up the ticket someone asked of of of of and I'm running Maine and so I want to ask you about that because Senator Senator Harris is no longer in the race and that leaves the debate stage for the next debate in the Democratic primary looking very white although all the people in states will be white candidates and that is just not as you know and that's not representative of the party if you are the nominee can you commit to selecting. Of color to be on the ticket I have not a little tiny bit of a problem picking a person of color or a woman can you commit to that you know I can't commit to that because what I know about vice president is you have to have someone who works for you who believes exactly like you do on the strategic notions that you support the reason why the historians are writing about Brock about Bob and I having their close relations really body is re trust each other completely he was able to give me entire chunks of responsibility for I didn't have to report back because he knew I knew what he was thinking and you can we know right now that that person you cannot be can know that but there's plenty of people of color there's plenty of women who are not who have rather you got senators on because there's I can think of 4 women senators off the bat that would be great vice presidents I can think of some I can think of several women who are in fact the last races recently who are completely capable for your vice president or state and look I am in a situation where look at my staff I have the most diverse staff of anybody running I've always done that this is who what would the. The country has to look like the administration should look like the American public I have to ask you about what's happening right now President Trump is in the process of being impeached a Senate trial is pending Republicans have suggested that they might call you or your son Hunter Biden if you are subpoenaed would you comply no I'm not going to let you take the ball here everybody knows that this is about this is a trumped gambit you play whenever he's in trouble he tries to find someone else to divert attention to miss about real things that's happening her peers are suggesting and they would subpoena your President Trump these issues will be parsed out in the Senate trial attorney but the question is would you comply no subpoena I will not be able to what everybody is looking for here and that is to take the eye off the ball everybody knows the issue here is not what I did because no one has proof you for one scintilla of evidence that it under the Other than do my job for America as well as anybody could have done it making sure that we in fact got rid of a corrupt prosecutor who everybody including our allies. Including our allies as well as as the i.m.f. And everyone else said has to go I did my job incredibly well if even the people in his newest ration of testified to my character testified to my honesty so you while I didn't you know it didn't look good for Hunter Biden to be on that board even if you did nothing wrong the optics weren't good there were former White House aides of yours who tried to warn you about the potential conflicts of interest somebody warned me about it for potential conflict of interest nobody wanted by that I had the same time George Grant the State Department official testified because he raised it to you know here is your stuff he did not hear stuff I never heard that wants to know stuff and they're still not told him he has no band when my son died I guess that's why. He said because my son was out of that but that that's not the reason why they should have told and the fact of the matter is my son testified to did an interview say if he looking back on it made a mistake he made a mistake over he did nothing wrong the appearance look bad and it gave folks like Rudy Giuliani an excuse to come up with a trumpery and kind of defense why they were violating the Constitution. His his words speak for themselves I know that you sat down with your family before you decided to run for president this time because I talked with your wife about it and you had a big conversation about the emotional toll that this takes every single time but especially this time this is your 3rd time running for president why do you want this so bad. Number one. I'm not sure I'd be writing it for a minute for Trump or some friends I think the country at this point the vice president goes into this very long answer recounting how his grandchildren insisted that he run this time then he goes back in time and lays into President Trump for calling Mexicans rapists and defending white supremacists after Charlottesville and then Joe Biden repeats a line he says a whole lot on the campaign trail that we are in a battle for the soul of this country. They're looking for somebody who can actually bring the world back together and get us off this precipice and looking for someone who can actually get things passed what good does it do if we cannot reach a consensus on issues relating to health care education climate cities dealing with going and assault weapons I don't those things. You mentioned earlier that his experience can be seen as a liability Rachel but you hear him there playing on it as an asset right and you know I talked to several people at that town hall I went to who said listen we just want to be Donald Trump right but that's not the entire Democratic voting bloc I mean to win this very crowded primary Biden has to build a coalition of voters not just those who want to go back to life before Donald Trump but also those who want a vision for the future and they haven't decided if Joe Biden is the guy who has that Kate thanks Rachel really fascinating it's a great video as well which you can watch this interview with Joe Biden npr dot org .

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep How does intermittent fasting affect your health by intermittent fasting we mean people who fast part of the time some skipped one meal a day some don't eat at all for several days per week N.P.R.'s Allison Aubrey reports on a study that tracked what happens when people go hungry for 14 hours per day there are lots of trendy ways to fast some people skip multiple meals some fast a few days a week but Pam Taub a cardiologist at u.c. San Diego says there hasn't been a lot of evidence on which strategies are effective there's a lot of bogus claims out there people touting extreme versions such as to day fasts which can be dangerous Caliban her collaborators decided to test a simple and much more moderate approach they asked people to restrict their eating to a 10 hour window each day we didn't ask them to change what they ate we didn't ask him to change the number of calories that they consumed the only instruction was to stick to the 10 hours so if they ate breakfast at 8 am their last bite of food for the day would need to be eaten by 6 o'clock pm making for a pretty early dinner the participants followed this diet for 3 months and Taubes says she really didn't expect the results she found we saw a 3 percent reduction in their weight and a 4 percent reduction in the abdominal visceral fat so it is surprising to get these types of results especially since all the participants really did was to stop eating a few extra hours each day it turns out that by shutting off eating early the participants all of whom were overweight and at risk of diabetes ate about 8 percent fewer calories but this alone Todd says is unlikely to explain the weight loss she thinks there may be other factors at play so when you go into a fasting state typically over 10 hours of. Fasting you start to deplete the glucose stores in your body and you start to use fat as your energy source in other words rather than fueling your body on stored sugars you begin to fuel your body was stored fat This study was small Talban her collaborators have a larger and i.h. Funded study underway for now the new findings offer some preliminary evidence that a 14 hour fast can be beneficial when you're constantly giving the body calories you're constantly making your cells work says think of a few extra hours of fasting as a way of giving your metabolic organs some rest Allison Aubrey n.p.r. News if you are one of the millions of Americans who owns a rescue dog you may not know what breed your pet is since most mutts are combination Well now there is a way to find out more about your dogs and ancestry with a d.n.a. Testing kits although some vets say don't take the results too seriously here's N.P.R.'s Patti was this week let's get the squeaky toy Marine who it is was told her dog Anya was a German shepherd mix and she definitely looks like a German Shepherd only she is lighter in color and much smaller whereas my girl can't give me shit but when cordless takes Anya out for walks she sometimes hears comments that are concerning this one little boy that even said Mommy look at that lady's walk in a coyote because she is about the size of a coyote she has the same coloring other people said oh she looks like a wolf or she looks like a fox so Courtis decided to find out she went online ordered a d.n.a. Kit swapped on his mouth for saliva put it in a tube mailed it off and one week later what came back was that 88 percent of her is German Shepherd So that tells you that one parent was probably a purebred and the other parent was a mix and they identified it as the hound family so it's like Greyhound blood hound with. Pit definitely not a Fox wolf or coyote it doesn't really make a difference what breed your dog is Dr Angela Hughes a vet marriage net assist with Mars pet care which makes a dog d.n.a. Test says knowing the breed helps you understand your dog better what makes them tick why do they look the way they do why do they act the way they do it helps use with her own dog who turned out to be part Russell terrier and part Australian Cattle Dog understanding that that's just how she is hard wired that she needs a lot of exercise and she needs you know certain things that terriers need like you know a quiet dark place to deaden so that she can kind of get away and not feel like she has to be on patrol all the time recognise that she's going to go ballistic at the sight of any score all those sorts of things and that she's not just trying to irritate me but that's how how she works but these testing kits are also being used to check for potential health problems and veterinary bioethicists Lisa Moses says this is where the problems come in she's with Harvard Medical Schools Center for Bioethics I want pet owners and that are near Ian's to understand that they should not be using direct to consumer dog d.n.a. Testing to make medical decisions about individual animals Moses says the tests aren't that accurate in part because the f.d.a. Doesn't regulate them and just because a d.n.a. Test suggests a vulnerability to a disease she says it doesn't mean the dog will actually get it it's quite possible that you would end up doing a lot of unnecessary testing to look for signs of disease if you have a dog who seemed perfectly healthy and not only could that be costly but a call so be invasive and potentially even harmful to your dog especially Moses says if people make treatment decisions based on misleading d.n.a. Results what I see that could possibly happen that would. The really bad is people choosing to do treatments and saying that what end up being wrong diagnosis if you're concerned about a health problem Dr John how President of the American Veterinary Medical Association says Your best bet is to talk with your vet because veterinarians are really at their up to using all of our education experience or sensors our knowledge to really diagnose and treat the patients that we have as well as incorporating any external information you know from our clients or from literature or other veterinarians but House says if you just want to find out more about your dog Zan Sastry a d.n.a.

News I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep good morning today a House committee takes another step toward impeaching the president of the United States the House Judiciary Committee holds a hearing today and that is one move toward a result the chairman Jerry NAVL of describe an n.b.c. Will bring articles of impeachment resume for the committee at some point later in the week N.P.R.'s congressional reporter Claudio agree Salis is covering this story and it's in our studios Good morning good morning what exactly happens today so this will look a lot like a court trial for a lawyer is for the Democrats and Republicans on the Judiciary Committee who will offer their opening arguments in this case and they'll be able to speak up to 30 minutes each They'll be followed by Democrats and Republicans for the House Intelligence Committee who will present their findings all interesting because they were the committee that did the winning that is the fact witnesses right go on and so each side for the intelligence committee will have up to 45 minutes each there and Democrats are pretty confident they are presenting a solid case Jerry Nadler said if this was an actual court trial Trump would be convicted quickly let's take a listen to his comments on c.n.n. Yesterday we have a very lock solid case I think the case we have is presented to a jury would be a guilty verdict in about 3 minutes flat now we should note that judiciary ranking member Republican Doug Collins said this week in the hearing should be delayed because the panel is moving too fast with too much information Democratic lawyers Republican congressional lawyers What about White House lawyers So White House lawyers have responded to the option of participating in today's hearing and for now we're not expecting to hear much from them as part of the actual proceedings this is more of the same we've heard from the White House and President Trump throughout this house process so it's not a surprise Friday marked a final deadline for the president to defend himself before the Judiciary Committee and White House counsel Pats a blown a signal they won't take part and said in a letter to now Adler that the inquiry was quo. Completely baseless and should end now but if it doesn't supply any quote of the president saying hurry up get it over with so we can move to a senator all the pressure or the president feels he has a Republican led chamber that will be friendlier to his cause Ok so this could be rather dramatic couldn't it because you have these relatively concise arguments rather than 12 hour hearings relatively concise arguments for each side a chance to sum up the case but we don't know what the actual charges would be against the president we don't know what the articles of impeachment would be how does the committee turn these arguments into articles of impeachment so this is laying the final crowned work for drawing up those articles we've had some hints it looks like bribery and obstruction could be part of those articles Democrats will take those presentations and could issue those articles by weeks and we could see this historic floor vote as soon as next week and with that that will move the process from an impeachment inquiry to a trial in the Senate and already we have seen the President Trump make requests for witnesses he's looking for a very robust defense he's been very vocal about this part of the process but even in a Republican controlled chamber he'll have his work cut out for him trying to convince at least 51 senators to include a long list of witnesses such as the whistle blower or former Vice President Joe Biden and that could lead to new delays in this part of the process and just to be clear the president who has rejected participating in the Democratic controlled House is indicating he wants to play ball in the Republican controlled Senate definitely Ok Claudia thanks so much thank you N.P.R.'s Claudio. Meehan Mars' de facto leader on sounds hoochie will appear before the International Court of Justice in The Hague this week she's headed there to defend her country against charges of genocide against the Muslim and minority Rohingya 700000 refugees fled a brutal crackdown by me and Mars military and to. 1017 reporter Michael Sullivan has more to hear many analysts tell it Suchi surprise decision to lead me and Mars team at The Hague is simple she's playing the nationalist card Phil Robertson is deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch Matthew Smith is c.e.o. Of the Southeast Asia rights group for the fire rights I think she is going to the Hague primarily to garner support at home in Myanmar ahead of elections in 2020 and it appears as though that is at least part of the strategy so far it's a strategy that appears to be paying dividends David Matheson is an independent analyst in young gone reach via Skype I think the initial reaction was. Shock now I think it was why don't you I think it was. Most sued for sticking up for our country and contributing what many see is these I'm just shocked. And the outpouring of support has been huge rallies like this one and a social media blitz pushing the Buddhist nationalist agenda tour companies have arranged trips to the Hague for Sujit followers to show their support but says author and former diplomat Tom meant to sue cheese trip to the Hague is about more than posturing for an upcoming election I think she genuinely believes what happened in 262017 was not genocide I think she genuinely feels a great anger at what she sees as an unfair response from the outside world I think she genuinely wants to have literally her day in court and I think she genuinely believes that there can be no one better to represent the country at this time if all of that is true Matthew Smith a fortified rights expects to hear the same arguments from Sujit at the Hague that she's been making for years down denying that the crime of genocide took place alleging or trying to shift attention to crimes that were perpetrated by a random militants. And really trying to paint a picture of a situation in which it is the state dealing with Islamic terrorist threats and that independent analyst David Matheson says will be a hard sell given the government's stonewalling in the past the fact is he's responding to this one while having a whole sound dismissed the u.n. Fact finding mission the un special rapporteur Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch that have done incredibly exhaustive documentation over mantid by satellite photos to prove that something absolutely horrific and that's writing it will ultimately be if not everyone agrees there is hopeful justice Kingsley Abbott is a senior legal advisor with the International Commission of Jurists reached via Skype just a few years ago he says the prospect of accountability for me and Mark looked bleak but today he says there are several cases under way international justice always takes time but now the situation is quite different than it was 2 years ago and things can change regimes can change but I think certainly people need to buckle in for a long ride where their expectations attempted but they remain hopeful Phil Robertson of Human Rights Watch is hopeful too if accountability for the alleged atrocities reaches Suchi the reality is that she has thrown in with the general she is part and parcel of the cover up of the atrocity against the Rohingya and nothing to change that if she is going to be the leader of the cover up there are certainly some action that has to be taken against on that for n.p.r.

News I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep today Russia's president Vladimir Putin meets the president of Ukraine the meeting in Paris is dramatic since the 2 countries are fighting an undeclared war Ukraine's Volo demerit Selenski one office in part by promising peace now to Americans this is all the backdrop to an impeachment inquiry President Trump a sympathetic to Russia and he withheld his own administration's military aid to Ukraine while seeking investigations of Democrats so the war is the backdrop to that but to Ukrainians the war is the story N.P.R.'s Lucien Kim reports from both come countries he's in Moscow now have a listen to morning what do the 2 presidents mean to accomplish in this meeting well their meeting together with the leaders of Germany and France this 4 way format has been around since 2014 really from the very start of the conflict when the Kremlin backed an armed insurgency in eastern Ukraine the problem is the last Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko did not get along with Putin and the last meeting they had was more than 3 years ago Selenski says he wants 3 things in exchange of all prisoners from both sides a lasting cease fire and Ukraine regaining control over its border with Russia Russia is not in such a big hurry but the status quo also comes at a high price for the Kremlin for one supporting the separatists is expensive but much more importantly Western economic sanctions will not be lifted until there's a peaceful resolution there's also a 3rd player French president Manuel macro he's been pushing very hard for normalizing relations with Russia but he knows that that cannot happen until there is some kind of progress on Ukraine when we hears a length skis ask that there you can imagine the one that is the big sticking point when he says regain control of Ukraine's border with Russia that's the border where Russia is supporting an undeclared war and supporting separatists that has seized Crimea there's a lot of territory Russia's effectively holding right. So this is all happening at the same time as this impeachment inquiry in the United States in which is a Lenski is involved a phone call to Selenski by President Trump is the center of that entire story how does that affect his negotiating position if at all actually a lot affects in a lot when Selenski came into office in May He had 2 foreign policy priorities the 1st was meeting Trump and the 2nd was meeting Putin he wanted the White House visit to show Putin that he has a u.s. Backing and he didn't get that visit what's more now we're hearing the news that Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and not Ukraine's will be traveling to Washington tomorrow the lens he was asked on a talk show this weekend what it's like to be caught between Democrats and Republicans in the u.s. And between Russia and the West on the global stage and this is what he said led to believe as. He most in less than what he's saying here is that when the representatives of Empires are seated at the table he does not want Ukraine to be the dish that served he said what he wants is for Ukraine to be accepted as an equal and independent nation you know it's especially troubling to hear him say that he feels caught between Democrats and Republicans in the United States because haven't there been statements by Republican Senators Ron Johnson of Wisconsin comes to mind a lot of Republicans saying the most essential thing for this u.s. Ally is to have bipartisan support in the United States is that what Selenski would like to have behind him his bipartisan support of course and he's been trying to stay out of the fray as much as possible Lucy and thanks so much thank you N.P.R.'s Lucy and Kim is in Moscow.
