This is WEEKEND EDITION from N.P.R. News I'm Luke Garcia Navarro good morning President Trump tweeted last night that he is cancelling peace negotiations with the Taliban he revealed details of a planned secret meeting at Camp David between U.S. Officials the Afghan government and the Taliban that was supposed to take place this weekend the stated reason for the cancellation a suicide attack that killed multiple people including a U.S. Soldier on Thursday Trump wrote what kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position many things about this announcement are surprising Joining us now from Islamabad is N.P.R.'s Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman who was traveling around the region with the head of Central Command 4 star general Ken and Frank McKenzie welcome. I understand the lines are pretty bad so we're going to try and get through this we've known for a while that a deal with the Taliban may have been close but this was an unorthodox way of announcing it to say the least it is surprising that the peace deal is going to be cemented on U.S. Soil what has been the reaction. Well of course often a child in a reaction once they learned about it from some media reporter had no idea it's important to happen and so they kind of all assembled and we have an intra Taliban making superstar to respond to took a few hours and they basically said the very things will pay students and that's been their reaction against a government meanwhile applauded what the president transferred say about the cancellation and the call for a cease fire and that's kind of where we are now we don't have a sense of the way at this point Secretary of State might pump AOE has been doing the rounds on cable this morning and here's what he said to Jake Tapper on C.N.N. When asked about the timing and location of this secret meeting. To behave if they don't deliver on the commitments that they've made to us now for weeks and in some cases months president I'd say it's not going to reduce the pressure we're not going to reduce our support for the Afghan security forces that have fought so hard there in Afghanistan he's essentially saying there that the ends would have justified the means how do you expect that that will go over with the different players in Afghanistan now. Than from anything here in the American military likely increased strikes in attacks on Taliban locations including leaders and a child and could very well responding trying going out on it's a soft target civilian targets and so forth so that's going to be a real concern going forward and what we've been hearing for months now is that the Taliban the political leadership is not unified there are differences of opinion on the country to say that there are some Taliban or more but say conservator and not really willing to have a deal also that the military commanders in Afghanistan the Taliban military commanders who may not agree to a deal so they could continue fighting that's been a problem on the television set for organization. So will likely see more Taliban attacks in no not attacks on the Taliban that story had occurred over the past few months as you mention the Taliban has been launching multiple suicide attacks including an especially her 5th one on a wedding they have used this as leverage throughout the negotiating process so I guess the question is Was there something different about this attack that might have prompted this response from the president. I think a couple things no no I think 1st of all they expected. This arrest this occurred. To the American soldier from Puerto Rico. Did your you know here they expect you know they expect you to have. A console to watch till I think their own order that they're not screwed because I'm sure mentioned in his tweet so warm that was a big part of their starts are consoled who wants to know and P.R.'s Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman from Islam 5 thank you very much. You're welcome. To New Hampshire now and Democratic voters there 3 years ago many of them wanted more options besides Hillary Clinton so they went with them on Senator Bernie Sanders this campaign cycle there are plenty of candidates to choose from 19 presidential hopefuls showed up to speak at the New Hampshire Democratic convention yesterday and P.R.'s followed reports the state convention felt like a high school pep rally when I got there around 8 am Hundreds of party activists were already waiting in line to get inside their Hampshire Democratic officials say this was the largest political convention they've ever held some 9000 people bought tickets just outside the main arena and Kathleen a local Democratic leader she told me she's still torn between 2 candidates former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren by. It's like stayed with truly and Mary's done that across the board experience in foreign fields of math and I love Elizabeth Warren she's got the fire he's got the enthusiasm she's got the new flame and political analysts don't think of war and in Biden is being on the same ideological plane but for voters like Seems instincts and personality matter more than where a particular candidate fits on the ideological spectrum Warren and sanders have the advantage of being neighbors to New Hampshire and in presidential primaries here neighbors always seem to do well Sanders still has some good will from 2016 but it's more in who is resonating more as a share she's seen as the ultimate insider outsider candidate she speaks in strangers' language but if peels to Clinton supporters like Donna Margaret I met her and she grabbed popcorn from the concession stands she had a good blue sticker on her cheeks that was hard to miss going too far to the left. I don't think is something that's sustainable and for that reason it does not have Sanders on her short list but she does include Warren even though the 2 have nearly identical policies market admits that on some issues like Medicare for all or in is further left than where she is but she thinks the Massachusetts senator is really and seems like a pragmatist I am thinking that her message a modified a very fair if crowd cheers can be a metric for anything then more in support was more enthusiastic than any of the other $8000.00 Chana Gates on stage her supporters beat those inflatable thunder sticks so loudly as she walked on stage the applause continued for a solid 2 minutes before she could begin speaking and when she did she made an appeal that many could have interpreted as a reference to Joe Biden I get it I get it there is always a lot at stake and people are just. There but we can't choose a candidate we don't believe in the cause for staying there but in general the convention had a friendly festival by supporters didn't just cheer for their own channel 8 they gave standing ovations to lines they liked regardless of who spoke them and sure there were still some loyal Bernie Sanders supporters in the arena I noticed Heather Baldwin buying a Sanders T. Shirt and so I asked her if she's already decided who she's voting for oh I definitely would vote for Bernie but if I don't get to vote for Bernie as president after the primary I will vote Democratic because we've got to get rid of what's. Festering in the way and that urgency for unity is a fundamentally different tone than 2016. N.P.R. News. There is an election today in Moscow one that's been disputed for weeks opponents of President Vladimir Putin were barred from running for city council setting off a summer antigovernment protests and mass arrests but even without any candidates of their own Putin's enemies are still trying to spoil the vote for the Kremlin we have N.P.R.'s Lusine Kim on the line from Moscow Good morning good morning how is it that a local election has become such a test for Vladimir Putin's regime where you have to remember that Russia is a super centralized country and an American context Moscow plays the role of New York Washington and Los Angeles combined And so what happens here really determines the way that the whole country goes of course that Moscow City Council has practically no real power but the Kremlin couldn't face the idea of outright critics of Putin winning elected office it would have given them a bully pulpit to talk to the whole country and more importantly I think it would have given the opposition legitimacy and sort of set a precedent for other regions in Russia would put his opponents barred from the election though aren't the results a foregone conclusion. Well I think it's interesting that despite the Kremlin's tight control over the political system here elections do matter in the past there have been lots of documented instances of vote rigging but the government also understands that if there are mass violations in a city like Moscow that could spark even more protests Putin on the whole is still very popular but the ruling party which is called United Russia is absolutely not in fact Putin has abandoned the party so has the Moscow mayor and now all of the candidates for United Russia and Moscow are hiding their party affiliation and running as independents what makes the Kremlin especially nervous is that you have opposition leader Alexina Vall me telling his supporters not to boycott the election but instead to go out and use their ballots to vote against against those pro-government candidates looking ahead once these elections are done what is the opposition's strategy if they don't have an event to rally around. Good question 1st of all the opposition has just shown how it can turn a supposedly meaningless city council election into a rallying cry for mass protests there really is a lot of pent up frustration right now which mostly has to do with the stagnating economy but many Russians are also unhappy and and just plain scared to see people go to jail just for something they tweeted or for attending a protest the opposition to Putin is still relatively small and it's divided internally they're certainly encouraged by the protests this summer because nobody expected them but on the other hand if the Kremlin can get through these elections there won't be a national election for another 2 years and so it's still going to be a very long uphill battle for the opposition That's N.P.R.'s listen to him in Moscow Listen thank you so much.

This is WEEKEND EDITION from N.P.R. News I'm little Garcia Navarro hurricane Dorian has left 70000 people homeless in the Bahamas while hundreds of people are still missing rescue operations are under way including air lifts and evacuations by water a boat carrying 1500 people arrived yesterday in West Palm Beach from the Bahamas Here's Bently Williams who was waiting to get on the ship yesterday just to get one alone to take a bath that's a meal like maybe 6 hours just to find one a. I can do with no more I mean I'll do anything just to get out I don't want to be a no more traveling on the Paradise which is the name of the boat was W L R N REPORTER Welcome to the program thanks for having me you posted a picture on twitter of a large crowd waiting in Freeport the main city on Grand Bahama which was hit so badly by hurricane Dorian they were waiting to get on the ship who was a lot on board there was a lot of Americans that were still on the island were unable to get off so the ship was letting those American passport holders on but that was a minority the majority of the people that were waiting were behind me and residents who withstood the storm and in many cases lost everything they had and they many of them had V says they were able to immediately go to the port once the ship started running the ship I was on was there actually the 1st passenger ship that was offering rides off the island dialing is right now 100 percent without power there's basically no water service right now also a lot of people are just really in desperation and they were packed like sardines waiting to get in the line and wait hoping that they would be one of the ones that received a ticket as you traveled to Florida with a group I imagine they had so many stories to tell can you recount some of them unfortunately a common denominator was people just telling me Look I lost everything the walls literally collapsed in people's houses I heard from several people that. There were stuck hiding in their attics for 30 hours or so until the flood started to recede and then now they don't have anything and even people that do have homes they told me that's not good enough my business my work my my means of making anything of myself was destroyed so people are finding themselves really in positions where they don't know what to do. What do people tell you about how they actually weathered that storm and what happened to them so the island had never flooded in this way that people had built homes over the years in places where they never expected even under a bad storm that it would flood in these places and you know we should keep in mind Grand Bahamas seen many hurricanes over the years this is not their 1st rodeo they were naive going into this so people thought that they could ride it out in their homes and as the floodwaters started to rise as the winds were kicking people had to swim and try to find something to float on from place to place I talked to one family that had to evacuate 3 separate times because it everywhere they were going it wasn't high enough in the water kept getting to them the devastation on parts of the Bahama Islands are substantial as you mentioned are people worried they might not be able to return that's absolutely a worry of people and it's for some people is not even quite a word they say a matter of factually that they say look the island is done as it is right now so I need to leave and get out of here because there is no hope on this island I heard lifelong residents telling me that and one thing to keep in mind is Freeport in Grand Bahamas 60 miles off the coast of West Palm Beach so it's the communities are actually very very close there's already existing trade relationships family relationships so most people I talked to they have family they have some kind of support structure in the United States in the state of Florida in particular so they were looking in this time a need to say look I need to get off this island. I need to go to Florida where I know I least I have a support network I can take a hot shower I can get water when I need it it's more of a reality than a worry for a lot of people. Than Years Eve Adam thank you so much thanks for having me. Early Saturday India tried to do something that had never been attempted before its space program tried to land an unmanned rover near the moon's south pole but mission control lost contact with the lander craft as it made its final approach now there are reports the space agency has located the lander on the moon's surface but doesn't know what condition it and P.R.'s Lauren Frayer is in Mumbai at 1st all went according to plan Mission Control narrated as India's Vic crown Lander detached from an unmanned orbiter to go in for a soft landing on the moon anticipation and excitement filled the command center in the southern Indian city of Bengal moving the combined have successfully completed give up they can face the panel the whole room went eerily silent Prime Minister Narendra Modi was there watching from a glass mezzanine above dozens of schoolchildren were there as well all wearing matching space program T. Shirts and baseball caps everyone waited and I was just waiting for the confirmation and the displaced and waited some more and then scientists huddled in quiet conversation their body language revealed it before Mission Control did I get a call from that finally the director of India's space agency walked up stairs to brief the prime minister they lost contact with the victim lunar lander the last signal came in when it was a little over a mile above the moon surface the schoolchildren rubbing their eyes packed up and went home it was past 3 o'clock. Had the last few hours that a nation by the way Prime Minister Modi tried to comfort the disappointed scientists at mission control some of them in tears this was supposed to be a celebration mood he spoke in front of a huge sign that read the sky is no longer the limit for our pride victim Rolf's but they didn't need to cover more of their hours and the times to grab. Every Indian. eg with us but he dove right as by their comfort zones india's moon craft would has become the 1st to land at the moon's unexplored south poles scientists were analyzing what went wrong when they lost contact with the lander they may now have located it in are trying to establish communication and see what condition it's and lauren frayer n.p.r. News and tomorrow on morning edition there's health news to start your week new research on the role of exercise as a treatment for chronic pain plus the labels on all the nitrate free trickier putting in your kid lunched out exactly correct tune in tomorrow morning bright asking your smart speakership clay n.p.r. Or your member station line it The militant group ISIS the Islamic State has lost much of the territory it held when it was as reporter as a day moving any says running a kind of killing spree in Iraq and Syria but many of the young women and girls that left their homes to join ISIS youth the group differently the story I wanted to tell is how it unfolded in the lives of so many young woman as as kind of and in a very perverse way an empowerment project Vinnie's new book is called guest house for young widows the women of ISIS it follows some of the girls who left their families in Tunisia Germany and England to join the Caliphate We begin with the story of the Bethnal Green teenagers these were a group of young high school students they were 15 they went to school in a very urban dense neighborhood of London they were straight A students they were popular in school these were not girls who you would think would be really susceptible but a lot of them also had absent fathers you know at that time I think we forget now there was a lot of Islamophobia and racism they were kind of waking up to politics you know ISIS was on social media ISIS was on Facebook and there were people in prison in networks that they met at a mosque they met at a religious groups and they were kind of persuaded that their families were brawl in moral and that they could join this kind of utopian project that they could live freely as young Muslims and so one went and then the other 3 started to plot may hit it from their families and they hid it from their teachers. And it kind of became a chain of disappearances and in the end you know the police had to take away the passports of dozens of girls in London because so many were being lured by what seemed so attractive to them at the time there are some common threads on what drove them to go to the Caliphate I think in this important to be aware of you know ISIS changes messaging over time and so that there was women. When at different times route responding to different aspects of that appeal but I think big part of the history that we have to remember is in the Middle East you know I says unfold in in the wake of the collapse of the Arab Spring and women were really central to those uprisings to those protests they didn't have a lot of there was not a lot of space for women and a lot of the repressive orders and it's countries before the 2011 revolutions and you know one by one those collapsed into civil war into greater repression I think in the aftermath of that ISIS emerged and for some young women in those societies it was it was just order those kind of dashed hopes were exploited and part of be appeal of Isis I think in those early days in countries like Tunisia and for girls liking or was that there was no other way to be politically active to be a feminist of any kind it was the only door that was open I was about to mention the story of nor. She was a high school dropout from Tunisia and you make the point in the book that she was sort of rebelling against a secular state and it was her way of expressing her female identity exactly said you are grew up in in attorneys said that was a highly authoritarian but secular So you know it was religious she wanted to cover her hair she went to school wearing a headscarf and she with the one out of high school for that you can see that headscarf was banned in public spaces like that in Tunisia before the 2011 uprisings you describe this shocking scene which is actually attacked by her teacher she was a teacher slapped her she was thrown out of class she was suspended should she tried to go back but it was just too humiliating for her she felt like it was a betrayal of what she felt her religion demanded of her and so she left society there was no space for new or in that Tunisia so after 2011 the revolution kind of created space and should be. Came very active and was taking part in charity drives and there was suddenly a kind of rush of I guess social participation for young women like you know or. Whatever the reasons were their experience under the Caliphate it wasn't what they had hoped for. You know I mean almost all of them uniformly on of the women whose stories that I've followed girls some of them because they got their name they were married before they were even 16 some of them they very often became victims of the order that they thought was going to bring them some kind of some kind of empowerment if their husbands were fighters they usually died after a few months and they were expected to remarry again and again and when they said no they were punished you know even worse if women tried to escape their had their children taken away from. The role of women in ISIS as sort of been badly documented or ignored by journalists or fetish ised on the other side why do you want to tell these stories I think what only coming in to some kind of understanding of women and militancy how women at the same time can be perpetrators and victims you know I think we have to arrive at a much more nuanced understanding and I think through these stories we can see that women can organize they can recruit people into these kind of militant groups because they're women they can very quickly also suffer violence at the hands of such groups and it's a very tricky understanding what is their culpability do you have an answer to that question after hearing all these stories some would say even though you write with great empathy should they not be judged by their actions they absolutely have to be judged and I think many of them know that you know I was just in Syria a couple of months ago in one of the camps where hundreds of women are held and they didn't go you know they they saw what they were a part of you know some of them are still quite devout their loyalists I think it's important not to view them as a big monolithic kind of group that you know they're all evil many of them also suffered very badly and and by giving them you know the chance to be process. To be treated you know fairly as citizens who committed crimes you know I think that we reduce the chance that there will be more radicalization amongst the women who are left. As a dame of any is the author of guest house for young widows among the women of ISIS thank you very much thank you. You're listening to WEEKEND EDITION from N.P.R. News. For the people of Antigua and Barbuda the images coming out of the Bahamas this week are familiar scenes of destruction and 27000 hurricane lashed the island nation as a Category 5 storm earlier I spoke with Gaston Brown the country's prime minister about that storm and what it takes to recover lucky for us we didn't have a lot of family talent he only had one fatality a small child but the damage to property was devastating in fact 95 percent of the properties and by Mueller a damage several of them are actually totally demolished and it will take a few years to fully recover but you know I think at the time the estimates for rebuilding were in the hundreds of millions $220000000.00 which was a massive amount of money for a country or size and that is the reality of the costs associated with the. Reality of Alabama James I know you're president doesn't believe in climate change but I will build because I think he had me and this country and other really suffering the consequences have an effect of gravity James Yeah at the time you also said the rich countries should pay for the recovery because they are the ones emitting the greenhouse gases do you think the same should happen with the Bahamas right absolutely I mean they should there's a drop in cities countries in the Caribbean that have to be ready for. That are literally damaging infrastructure damage and he was private property that literally are demanding our development Well who did pay after hurricane Armaan 2017 I mean you did accept some help from China which is a big greenhouse gas a matter but I'm curious did the U.S. Not step up. Well. I don't think it will be reported and. I wear that every call that the public of China made a contribution of 2 millenia dollars them carry $3000000.00 Canadian and the European Union $5000000.00 euros I don't recall that made any significant contribution. Obviously the Bahamas are at the very earliest stages of their recovery but what advice do you have for them as they look to rebuild Well you know the recovery is going to be difficult prime minister I mean the government they're going to come in for the very criticism because normally presidents got a penny for immediate recovery and I think Democrats are in the car and that because generally speaking. For example the funds that have been pledged by kind of by the United Kingdom by the European Union we have not been able to view ourselves or those funds yet and I'm quite sure they government of the families of find itself in a similar situation so what is happening Bob you know if you have not been able to get the money you need to rebuild for. The trial the properties that were damaged we have rebuilt about $600.00 of them as a result we still have internally displaced persons and that is a reality very scarce resources prime minister as you have mentioned climate change predicts fiercer storms have you thought about what the future might look like in your country. Which might make it uninhabitable Well you know we did at a deposition we have at work and that has been oblique one with the country and to advocate large countries very limited States' ability. Mitigate and certainly to adapt to climate change and. Obviously they were already dead as a result of the type of leadership that was Gaston Brown he's the prime minister and part. This is N.P.R.

A did the. PASTERNAK book and P.R.'s Lynn Neary reports it was about 5 years ago when Leonard Prescott's dad sent her an article in The Washington Post about how the CIA had used doctors of ago as a tool propaganda during the Cold War and I had if I know everything about the mission the result is Prescott's debut novel The secrets we kept It's the story of the young woman who became involved with the CIA's plan to get copies adultress of a go into the Soviet Union where it had been banned because of its portrayal of life under communism throughout the book Prescott weaves her spy saga was the story of Boris Pasternak and his real life lover Olga the model for Lara but much of the novel is set in Washington D.C.

Former borders of this. 161st got story begins here in the secretarial pool at the old CIA headquarters a building still well hidden and protected by guards and gates says when she began researching the story she became interested in the women who work there in the 1950 S. I was always pulled towards these women because I was researching all these memos and reports and they were all heavily redacted about the Chicago mission and names and places were directed and I kept thinking about the women who typed these reports and these women who would know the secrets of the secret keepers and some of the women had worked as spies Turnbull were to some of them had led French resistance fighters at the front lines some of them had planted bombs to sabotage trains and bridges and when the worst was over and the CIA was forming they were put in positions behind desks often in record keeping clerical positions despite all that they had done during the war one of the main characters in the book arena was not a former spy. She needed a job and found one as a typist at the CIA but the spy master saw something in her that made him think she could take on a different role and one of those. Messages. Would pick. To different places never really knowing what was inside the packages but. No one would suspect that this young woman had an important message the CIA begins training arena to work on the mission one of her trainers is Sally a beautiful sophisticated woman who still works as a spy in the post-war world she takes arena to Dumbarton Oaks in D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood. In particular was as a place where meetings would occur between K.G.B. Handlers and their recruits so I thought. Sally she would take. Training to the. Enter the park which surrounds the Dumbarton mansion and. The reason I. Get it. It's in this park that arena story takes a turn as she was writing Prescott says a spark between her characters and knew they would fall in love it became her way into writing a love story that parallels the one in Dr Zhivago if you can think of Dr Zhivago not think of the lot story and how these 2 were brought together. But could never be and I knew when I was writing that I wanted to write another lab story and it fell upon arena and Sally almost by accident and it was that 1st scene when there was like I think there might be something more here are these characters eventually arena sent to pick up a microfilm of Dr Zhivago in Russian which will be made into a book that the CIA smuggled into the Soviet Union Prescott said this scene in one of her favorite places in Washington. This was a place where. Occurred. It's . Almost hard to imagine. A work of fiction that became more famous. Than its politics I think. Of the. Threatening enough that government still resort to censorship to stop the flow of words and ideas Lynn Neary N.P.R. News Washington. We interview a lot of journalists on our program here's one that's attempting to reach a coveted audience teens Olivia Seltzer is 15 and she's created a daily newsletter that covers the day's top headlines for her peers it's called the cram lady joins us now from Santa Barbara She's founder and editor in chief Livia It's great to speak with you it's so great secrecy to thank you so much for having me so why did you decide to create the crim So pretty much right after the 2016 presidential election I noticed that all of my peers at my junior high school the only thing you're talking about was news and politics but what I also noticed was that there is no new source for young people so no one I knew was actually reading or watching the news in turning this interest into anything. We saw you profiled in Teen Vogue which has gotten a lot of attention for its political coverage. How do you write the news that's different than the way something like N.P.R. Would you know the mainstream media so to speak yeah so I read the comics actually how I talk to my friends and also everything I write I'm writing it from young person's perspective and I think that that's really important and I have my top story of the day it's not necessarily going to be the top story at every news source but it is going to be the top story and I said young people so lately there's been a lot going on with a thing and a thing is incredibly 5 lead among young people most of the people I know vague Lately there's been an issue where people will be hospitalized because it will have severe respiratory illness after bathing and I think that's something that I've heard young people talking about it at school a lot they haven't necessarily heard adults talking rot that unless they're parents and they're concerned for their kids in a world where the phrase fake news is bandied about at the highest levels how do you Fact checking your news do you have an editing process so I wake up every day at 5 am and I spend about an hour reading over pretty much every news source in existence because I think it's really important that I am giving an unbiased point of view a lot of my friends house. Political views on both sides of the political spectrum and I don't want to alienate anyone after I'm finished writing then I give it thanks and slow this read over and kind of editor and make sure that everything's good and if it's not and we'll make it just meant because it's really important to me that everything is the most accurate it can be the census shows that for the 1st time a majority of kids under 15 are nonwhite and that's something that the mainstream media struggles with to not only to appeal to teens but to appeal to diverse teens do you think about the kinds of stories that might appeal to sort of a different demographic so I actually have an editorial team of teams from all over the world and they actually will research new stories and they'll send a nice story that they think deserve to be written about and I think that's really important because these are chains that come from a variety of of religion social classes of backgrounds of of different races neck necessities and I think that that's really important that that's all been represented in a need is because there's a viewpoint I resign but I also want to see viewpoint of other teens from different backgrounds I have to ask you what do you think traditional news outlets can do to appeal to younger audiences or is it just a lost cause I don't think it's necessarily a lost cause but I think osteo if traditional news sources want to appeal to young people they actually need to bring in young people I think a lot of times there are new sources such as like classic news for kids that are geared towards kids but I think a lot of times it feels like the news has been dumbed down for teens which is not what we want we want the real news but we do want to in a way that speaks to us live you Seltzer is the founder of the Graham thanks for joining us thank you so much.

But sometimes the most moving and memorable moments can be when very little is happening on stage. This music from the opera Tyee says about a woman who's at a crossroads in her life and she's trying to decide which path she should follow and rather than have her sing an aria composer gives the solo line to a member of the orchestra. I'm Melissa Owsley with his moving meditation a little later this hour. It's usually a piece for violin an orchestra the arrangement I have on tap is a new recording with cello taking the solo line right now though the finale from a symphony by Juan Arriaga.
