Station. From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I m Miles the Chuang And I m Ari Shapiro Here s an unthinkable choice stay together as a family in a dangerous and squalid refugee camp on the Us Mexico border or give your child up in the hope that he or she has a shot at asylum this is the choice that some migrant parents are making they re stuck in Mexico because of president trumps asylum policies and they are sending their unaccompanied children across a bridge that connects the 2 countries N.P.R. s John Burnett has been tracking their journey and he joins us now from Texas near the Mexico border Hi John Hey Ari How bad do circumstances have to be for a parent to do this send their child alone across a bridge into an unknown country it s both an act of desperation and of love you have to understand the conditions in this makeshift refugee camp that sprang up in my to morrows just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville Texas 2000 people are living in Coleman camping tents that were designed for weekends at the lake not as a winter refuge for a family for many months when it rains they leak when a cold front blows in the shiver the campus filthy people are sick the porta johns are overflowing there are criminals everywhere and under an asylum policy called remain in Mexico applicants have to wait up to 6 months in these grim conditions before they get a hearing in u.s. Immigration court and then nearly all their claims are being rejected so why aren t parents crossing the border with their children will adults and families who apply for asylum together are sent back to Mexico but the federal rules are different for unaccompanied kids they can t be returned to Mexico so the parents take advantage of that Ok well let s listen to your story about some of these parents I met 3 very sad hunder and fathers who recently decided to send their sons across the international bridge in the camp people call it the last step but I see on I walked up on Alexis Martinez when he was on his cell phone trying to talk to his son to the u.s. . A thin left. Unfortunately the call drops Martinez last saw his 2 sons 7 year old osteo and 5 year old been how mean on November 17th they were holding hands their faces streaked with tears bravely walking across the gateway international bridge the father says he had to send them Little been home mean had been gravely sick and Martina s couldn t afford any more antibiotics. They were sleeping on the ground in the cold but on one occasion my youngest contracted Bronco pneumonia the stones are not good for children because the cold goes right through them. Sometimes you do things not because you re a bad father but because you want what s good for them don t want to see them suffer his sons are now being held in a juvenile shelter in Philadelphia overseen by the Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement Martinez hopes his boys will be released to live with their mother in New York City he and his wife are a strange these oh our shelters have been criticized for their rigid rules and extended confinement but conditions there are a dramatic improvement over life in the camp a good example is the lack of medical care what s happening down here is breaking my heart these are some of the most vulnerable people on the planet Dr Mara salmon is on the faculty at Temple University she s volunteering at a pop up clinic in the matter Morris camp she says the Mexican state provides no health care to the migrants a vivid example she says she recently diagnosed and 8 year old boy from Chiapas Mexico with acute appendicitis they sent him to a Mexican hospital and the hospital sent him back untreated he got worse volunteers frantically tried to get u.s. Immigration officials to accept the child of his father so he could be treated at a Texas hospital because of the delay in his care us having to go through all of the legal hoops to try to get him across his appendix ruptured the child eventually made it to a Texas hoss. Buttle and Salman says he s doing well the Homeland Security Department did not respond to a request for comment when questioned before about appalling conditions in Mexican border towns where asylum seekers are waiting senior v.h.s. Officials have replied that parents should not bring children on these harrowing journeys in the 1st place and further they say Mexico has assured the trumpet ministration that migrants are being taken care of more of a new Bonnie said law who disagrees he and his 17 year old son Marvin whole Well fled to see gulper because he says in this 13 gangsters were trying to recruit the teenager now the same thing is happening with the guys who hang around the matter Morrison can t my saliva said goodbye to Marvin Jr 2 weeks ago his son crossed the border and he s now in a child shelter his father hopes he ll be released into the care of a great uncle in Dallas Let s take them up on that a lot of that it. That I don t know what s going to happen to the parents I don t know if the laws will ever permit us to reunite with our children or what happens to us is in God s hands but I want to make sure my son is safe. The 3rd father I met in the Mount Morris camp who sent his child away with Delmer Lopez I want to but as it will not even be a menial is how do I say it this was the hardest thing I ve ever done in my life 3 weeks ago he told his 10 year old plus a Armando to cross the bridge alone to be with his mother and little sister who live in Houston the parents are divorced your lady had one of the best here your way you know I told him Don t worry I m coming on he said Promise me Poppy I had to tell him a white lie and then when he did that on the limit they would let the Galen little problem with your little backpack and inside was his favorite toy a stuffed turtle and his jacket his passport and his mother s phone number and at the mall a single bezel to call him but it was out of but when he walked to the bridge and I gave him 5 passes to cross he walked away and turned around and waved the last thing I saw was my son being escorted away by 2 American officials as. John Burnett is still with us and John what happens to these parents so are you in the case of Delmar Lopez he s already lost his asylum case and he doesn t know what he ll do now and he s too afraid to return to Honduras he says dogs threatened to kill him there and all of these parents know if they lose their asylum cases as a family their children will never get to the u.s. At least if the child goes alone they have a shot have you been able to figure out how many parents are doing this we don t actually know the Jodi Goodwin is a long time immigration lawyer in the Rio Grande Valley and she says she has 4 clients in the matter Morris can t who ve sent their kids to live in the u.s. Including Delmar Lopez who we just heard from I met her in a coffee shop and we talked about this painful choice that haunts me at night and I m snivelled embedded a 7 year old I can t imagine I mean. And what mom that sent her 3 year old how do you push it 3 year old across a bridge and say go beat the blow this is better for you. And she said something else Goodwin was involved in lots of family separation cases remember that s when the administration decided to punish parents for crossing the border illegally by physically removing their children from them she told me those cases were wrenching but when a parent decides my child is better off without me Goodwin said that s so much worse That s N.P.R. s John Burnett on the Texas Mexico border thank you John you bet are. The European Union s smallest member state is in crisis over the unsolved murder of a prominent investigative journalist 2 government ministers on the island of Malta have resigned and the Prime Minister s own chief of staff has been arrested all 3 denied being involved in the murder of death. She died in a car bombing 2 years ago Danica kisses dug into the unsolved murder for us last year and has been following the developments she s on the line with us from Athens Hey Joanna. So tell us a little more about this journalist who was she and how was she viewed in Malta. So deafening kind of went to let s see it was modest most prominent journalist she wrote about fuel smuggling organized crime money laundering She also called to the leak law firm records known as the pen of a people person she found offshore well tied to the inner circle because Prime Minister Joseph less. So she got a lot of death threats she got sued a lot a government minister even froze her big counts and you know it all came to a tragic end on October 16th 2017 just outside her village I remember talking to her son about the day she died he heard this huge explosion the she drove away from their house I knew was a call them straight to him I tried calling my mother on the phone with perceived injuring when I got there was just so much destruction and so much fire and since that day her family has never stopped Haku very publicly and all over the world about her murder they want to know who s behind it they want justice and they blame the government of Prime Minister Muscat for blocking back just as they say you know these people have some well what about the rest of the Maltese public I mean do you get the sense that there are a lot of people out there who believe the Prime Minister is responsible for this murder. Well you know it really depends on who you ask I mean mother s a deeply divided place full of the cli those who like her Joseph Muscat and the center left Labor Party are utterly devoted to him but the other half of they believe the government is corrupt and is covering up the murder of a very brave teller and they want to resign you know here was the scene yesterday at the Capitol Bolena. Was. There shouting the protesters shouting Mafia Mafia just as Muscat is leaving his office it through aides and points at him and that s after his top aide and 2 of the government ministers left their jobs so do these recent resignations and also the rest of the prime minister s chief of staff to these events give people the sense that there is evidence tying these men to the murder you know that s not clear yet but what is clear is that the probe into getting a kind of want to go and see is murder is finally widening to include those most powerful people you know these are the very people she investigated as a journalist so that s a lot of pressure on Prime Minister Joseph let s get but he s not resigning he denies involvement in the murder of death but I want to kill it c n n he says he wants to well navigate the current through this crisis that is Reporter Joanna cases thank you Joanna You re welcome nots and she joined us via Skype.

And from Americans for the Arts. This is All Things Considered from n.p.r. News I m Ari Shapiro and I m Elsa chain President Trump offered a show of support this evening for pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong the president signed a pro Hong Kong bill that the Chinese government had warned would be seen as meddling in his domestic affairs even as he signed the bill though Trump offered a conciliatory message to Chinese President Xi Jinping Trump is trying to avoid upsetting trade talks with Beijing right now which have reached a delicate stage N.P.R. s Scott Horsley joins us now hey Scott I also so just a few days ago President Trump was pretty noncommittal on whether he would sign this legislation what s changed you know it s pretty clear this bill was going to become law with or without the president s signature it passed the Senate unanimously I think there was a single no vote in the house so Congress was really overwhelming in its support for the democracy movement in Hong Kong and Trump decided it was better to be on that train than under it so he went ahead he signed the bill but he also reiterated his respect for Xi Jinping just as he had done last week when he was asked about the Hong Kong bill in an interview with Fox News here s what he said on Friday we have to say and what I m going but I m also standing with President Xi he s a friend of mine he s an incredible guy so since then you know little ways he s really trying to walk this fine line we ve had local elections in the interim in Hong Kong and the pro-democracy forces won a big victory in his statement this evening the president said he hopes the leaders of Hong Kong and mainland China can settle their differences amicably All right so we just heard President from being a friend he s also a negotiating partner with some pretty high stakes trade talks on the line so how do you think signing this pro Hong Kong bill will affect the ongoing trade talks chump acknowledged last week that Hong Kong could be a complicating factor in those trade negotiations but he s really trying hard not to alienate President Xi to the point where he might just walk away from the table for weeks now the u.s. And China have been trying to broker a limited trade deal. In which China would buy some extra soybeans and other foreign goods from the u.s. In exchange they d get some limited tariff relief from President Trump earlier this week the 2 sides had a phone call but actually nailing down an agreement has been really elusive yet and there is a deadline looming in less than 3 weeks the Trump ministration has threatened to impose tariffs on another $160000000000.00 worth of Chinese imports including a lot of popular consumer items if there s no agreement struck by December 15th I am curious though a lot of this Hong Kong bill seems symbolic What is the practical effect of this legislation you know the practical effect not entirely clear the bill says the State Department has to report each year on whether China is living up to the promises it made back in 1907 that it would preserve Hong Kong s autonomy if Beijing is seen as falling short the administration could strip Hong Kong of its special trading status so it is a cudgel the administration could use to go after China but it also gives the the president a lot of leeway and Trump underscored that in his signing statement this evening saying he would ignore any part of this bill that he sees as compromising his constitutional powers to conduct foreign policy the way he wants to you know Trump has argued that his friendship with she has actually been good for Hong Kong that it s helped to head off a tougher crackdown on the pro-democracy forces of the bill does authorize sanctions against Chinese officials if they do carry out a crackdown in Hong Kong and President Trump also signed a separate bill this evening that bars the u.s. From selling things to the Hong Kong police like tear gas and rubber bullets That s N.P.R. s Scott Horsley thank you Scott you re welcome. Kristen Campbell s 1st book the dirty life told the story of how she left a publishing career in New York City to start a farm I had no idea you could be dirty in so many different ways there s dirt dirt there s blood there sweat there s your own sweat the sweat of animals the dirty life became a surprise bestseller 10 years later Campbell is wants. Again writing about farming her new book good husbandry tells how farming has continued to shape her marriage and her life into middle age Brian Mann of North Country Public Radio reports when I turned up at Kristen and Martin Bill s farm house it smells rich and earthy potato in the soup bubbling warm on the stove is a big block of their homemade cheese on the battered table I just wish that everybody had the experience of getting their hands in the dirt and seeing what a miracle it is to pull food out of it in them to cook it and eat it with other people Kristen Kimball is a small woman with dark shoulder length hair now in her forty s it s late autumn as we said out of the fields she and Mark are what you might call evangelists for the small for local food movement my pitches always can I can be to cover for everyone I meet He s a tall rangy guy in a big straw hat who grins with excitement when he talks about milk from. My guys their land Essex farm sprawls over 1600 acres of forest meadow in New York s outer on the foothills even this late in the season there are bright purple cabbages in neat rows and if you ve last berries to be plucked from them there s a real bargain here and that s all this. Sun sweeps over a distant flock of sheep but the wind is sharp you can feel the winter most large farms these days focus on one or 2 big cash crops the Kimballs raise everything from beets to chickens in this kind of community supported agriculture a food is sold directly to customers in the case of the Kimballs feeding hundreds of families in theory this business model is more sustainable it means more money in their pockets but this life is still precarious It started off disastrously wet and cold in the spring summer and fall were very good for us and our harvests were some of our best habits and they supplement their income with speaking fees. And revenue from Christine s books after 15 years at the center of the small farm Renaissance the composed described themselves as one part romantic 2 part realist work and I came into every culture to time when things felt very very hopeful you know we were at this wave of young farmers who were starting new farms many of us 1st generation but it s also the old story about culture which is that we re working in a business that is subject to the chaos of weather to the vicissitudes of market so yes it s rich it s beautiful and it s also really really hard this is part of the story her book good husbandry tells the feel of late autumn days in the fields the joy of raising their 2 daughters on the farm but also the strain of a struggling small business and the pressure on a marriage they say they ve seen a lot of farms like theirs fail since Kristen s 1st book came out they go out of business because of burnout and divorce I think any farm family would recognise the farm is the thing that holds you together as a family because it s the project you work on together with passion and energy and and it s also the thing that can wear you down as a family because the work isn t real untying and the financial pressure can really erode the family to when you step back a little bit the fact that we re still here around this table is pretty close to Americal there clearly proud of the fact that their farm is still in business and they say they re still having fun making a life together working their land as winter sets them just so I. Don t need to be harvested. Probably after the ground freezes and that will go for thieves for our pigs and chickens Kristen says even after all these years she s a little startled this turned out to be her story but also happy the trade off she says have been worth it Brian Mann n.p.r. News at 6 New York. The end. I am the at the end of the earth and. You re listening to All Things Considered from n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered on K.B. s in San Diego I m Sally Hickson a recent report found that the military often mishandles domestic violence on base leading to fewer prosecutions and more danger for people who are abused some spouses say they re not taken seriously and the process favors the abuser Carson frame reports for the American home front project. Elise Monroe remembers her ex husband s anger quick explosive and loud he liked to punch things one night when he was drunk and angry he punched a hole in our shower it was always my fault if he was angry it was something I did but Munro says the 1st time she felt fear was in January 2010 a few months after she her husband and their 2 young children moved on base at Fort Drum New York and I remember that night I had tried to lock myself in our bedroom and he kicked it open and cornered me and I I had tripped and fallen and he grabbed me really hard on the arm and picked me up when military police showed up they noted the torn apart House and the bruises that had started to bloom on Monroe s arms they took her husband away for a 72 hour cooldown period and sent Monroe to have her injuries photographed at a base medical facility but while the army punishment Rose husband for damaging their house he was never prosecuted for hurting her instead his command ordered him to go to anger management counseling but Rowe says no one followed up about her well being no one offered me services no one told me that there were things that were there for me for my benefit for my children s benefit in my opinion it was solely concentrated on him Monroe s situation is not unique earlier this year the Defense Department inspector general found that the military often mishandles domestic violence it said military police sometimes were sloppy with evidence collection and interviewing and often failed to report offenses into federal databases as required the inspector general also found that police often didn t tell abused spouses about Family Advocacy a Defense Department program which offers them support and safety counseling Lisa Coloe a directs healing household 6 a military family organization you know certainly people come to me and they show me other then that they have a report ahead in the way that they are supposed to and there have been more times than I can count that the Family Advocacy representative told me of that there were they. Have any file on this person the report also found commander sometimes interfered at crime scenes pushing law enforcement to do things that weren t in keeping with protocol and says an abuser s command sits on the committee that decides what s actually violence it s just this giant like jumbled mess of reputations and culture and who s the service member and how many medals to be had and one of they don and was this really abuse since the i.g. Report was released in April calendula says she s seen signs that some bases have begun to take their domestic violence protocols more seriously that the response has been inconsistent another change happened last year when Congress amended the military s criminal code to include domestic violence Brian club of the battered women s Justice Project says that may be encouraging inforce meant what Congress directed was that now with the specific domestic violence a domestic assault offense it would be easier to track these offenses within the military justice system be able to report on them as well as to be able to flag them correctly for civilian law enforcement but for domestic abuse survivor Elise Monroe change didn t come fast enough her ex husband s violence continued to escalate until 2016 when after leaving the service he threatened her life there was a moment where he had me on the front stop with his Me and my side and he had punched me in the face and said that if I was not quiet he was going to put me in the ground where I belonged I knew he had a loaded weapon in his truck Munro fled with her kids to safety and is now remarried her ex-husband continued to spiral last year he was shot by a guard of the Department of Veterans Affairs after he threatened the guard with a knife he survived the shooting but was convicted of several crimes Munro can t help but wonder if that all could have been prevented if the military had taken her abuse more seriously this is Carson frame reporting.

P.b.s. Were news matters. From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I m also Chang and I m Ari Shapiro when the actor and singer Mandy Patinkin recently came into our studio to talk about his new album he was preoccupied with subjects that go beyond music questions like What am I going to do with the rest of my life now I m really free because I finished the final scenes of Homeland and of the final release on Fennell season Season 8 I literally just came here from the final photo shoot with Claire Claire Danes who stars with Mandy Patinkin in the Showtime drama about terrorism Potemkin has been in the public eye for decades in 1979 his breakout role came opposite Patti Lu Pone in the musical if. You. Did you. In your. School would immediately. He want to Tony for that role in the 1980 s. The movie The Princess Bride gave him a line that people still quote today. His career has been a nonstop string of plays films t.v. Shows albums concert tours and so on this day having just finished homeland after an 8 year run Mandy Patinkin snoo album children and art took a backseat to those bigger ideas now I ll have all my time and all my mind and all my being to be free of that world that fictional world of Homeland lived in to be able to live more in a world that I feel is is far more hopeful and optimistic and less frightening I get the sense that at this point in your life. You have a kind of freedom and ability to take risks and do what you want that maybe you didn t have 20 or 30 years ago when you still had something to prove I don t plan to put anything on my calendar I want to keep it open I want to be lost I want to see what I d bump into I realize that when I was 14 or 15 at the Young Men s Jewish Council you Center on the South Side of Chicago because I hated school my mother so want to be in the plays over there I did a play something happened in rehearsal one day and I thought this sounds good if this is what plays are I m going to I m going to hang here and I did that for more than 40 years and there s all the things I didn t choose to do which is infinite and what might bump into now I m a workaholic my kids called me the project Man I m addicted to projects whether I ll make it and not take a familiar job in the craft that I ve practiced and for my whole life I may well crumble and go do that I hope I don t only you would call like a starring in a Broadway show or a movie or a marquee television series crumbling because I d like to see what else there is out there and what I might find I m well aware that any difficulties Mandy has is just getting through the day if Mandy opens an ice cream shop you know like I like all of us you know I deal with anxiety who doesn t but me and he s going to go with me if I open an ice cream shop I m going to worry about the ice cream melting I m going to be worried about the caller s cracking I m going to worry about there not being enough chocolate chips in the truck and. I m aware of all of that yeah but I m also really curious as to you know I don t know how much time I have left on this planet I don t want to miss something that might be right in front of my face . I got to ask you ve you ve been known for so many roles over so many years homeland Sunday in the Park With George Chicago Hope I mean the Princess Bride is there something you most like when people really you too I would say the 2 were working with James will pine and Steve Sondheim and Sunday in the Park With George James having written the words connect George connect. Winning and winning. Game. Ways. And connect is the word of my life it s what I long to be able to do every minute that I m awake and the other one being the it is shell them and when I learned this huge issue repertoire it just hit me in the kitchen as they say and I didn t grow up speaking Yiddish I didn t it wasn t really used as a secret language of my so it just hit me in my soul what I learned from it is whatever culture you come from let the sounds and the music wash over you you don t even need to know the words. It will take you somewhere you can t even understand but it will guide you and calmly you and make you feel not alone you talk about the act of making music as a joyful act in contrast to the dark show Homeland you ve been making but between the song about refugees with bodies on the water and the Laurie Anderson track from the air which describes the plane going down there s a lot of darkness on this album too there is but you know. I love Stephen Sondheim people have asked me why Steve Sondheim and and what I feel Sondheim and Shakespeare are about is turning that darkness into light so even the refugee song The effort is to shine the light through the darkness because that s our way to tomorrow to change narratives that are literally unexceptable that we re living with because they affect human lives as we are witnessing minute by minute while we re talking. There is one song from Broadway on this album it s the title track children and art which is written by Sondheim for the show that you start in the original Broadway production of Sunday in the Park with George and this was sung by Bernadette Peters and that production just. It was a song I ve always loved from the minute I heard Bernadette hear it for the 1st time and the minute I heard her sing it for the 1st time it was universal and genderless art never more than these moments where living these days is the avenue toward expression of existence the whole system is falling apart and you need to turn to the fire department to put out the flames and in this case I appeal to artists of every nature to guide us and lead us back to humanity and caring for our fellow human beings and doing what is morally and ethically appropriate and not forgetting what my Grandpa Max used to say and yet ish. The Fed law which means the wheel is always turning So if you re on top know that one day you ll be on the bottom and if somebody is knocking on your door open it and welcome them or no one who will be there when you need help. Mandy Patinkin it s been a joy talking to you thank you so much Same here thank you his new album is called Children and art and he will be on a 30 city concert tour performing songs from the album in the months ahead.

From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I m Miles the Chuang And I m Ari Shapiro Here s an unthinkable choice stay together as a family in a dangerous and squalid refugee camp on the Us Mexico border. Or give your child up in the hope that he or she has a shot at asylum this is the choice that some migrant parents are making they re stuck in Mexico because a president trumps asylum policies and they are sending their unaccompanied children across a bridge that connects the 2 countries N.P.R. s John Burnett has been tracking their journey and he joins us now from Texas near the Mexico border Hi John Hey Ari How bad do circumstances have to be for a parent to do this send their child alone across a bridge into an unknown country it s both an act of desperation and of love you have to understand the conditions in this makeshift refugee camp that sprang up and metamorphose just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville Texas 2000 people are living in Coleman camping tents that were designed for weekends at the lake not as a winter refuge for a family for many months when it rains they leak when a cold front blows in the shiver the campus filthy people are sick the porta johns are overflowing there are criminals everywhere and under an asylum policy called remain in Mexico applicants have to wait up to 6 months in these grim conditions before they get a hearing in u.s. Immigration court and then nearly all their claims are being rejected so why aren t parents crossing the border with their children will adults and families who apply for asylum together are sent back to Mexico but the federal rules are different for unaccompanied kids they can t be returned to Mexico so the parents take advantage of that Ok well let s listen to your story about some of these parents I met 3 very sad hunder and fathers who recently decided to send their sons across the international bridge in the camp people call it the last step but as. I walked up on Alexis Martinez when he was on his cell phone trying to talk to his son to the u.s. . A thin necklace and. Unfortunately the call Jobs Martinez last saw his 2 sons 7 year old and 5 year old been how mean on November 17th they were holding hands their faces. Street Good tears bravely walking across the gateway international bridge the father says he had to send them Little been how mean had been gravely sick and Martina s couldn t afford any more antibiotics I thought of and. They were sleeping on the ground in the cold on one occasion my youngest contract a Bronco pneumonia the stones are not good for children because the cold goes right through them. Sometimes you do things not because you re a bad father but because you want what s good for them you don t want to see them suffer his sons are now being held in a juvenile shelter in Philadelphia overseen by the Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement Martinez hopes his boys will be released to live with their mother in New York City he and his wife are a strange these oh are shelters have been criticized for their rigid rules and extended confinement but conditions there are a dramatic improvement over life in the camp a good example is the lack of medical care what s happening down here is breaking my heart these are some of the most vulnerable people on the planet Dr Mara salmon is on the faculty at Temple University she s volunteering at a pop up clinic in the matter Morris camp she says the Mexican state provides no health care to the migrants of vivid example she says she recently diagnosed an 8 year old boy from chop us Mexico with acute appendicitis they sent him to a Mexican hospital and the hospital sent him back untreated he got worse volunteers frantically tried to get u.s. Immigration officials to accept the child of his father so he could be treated at a Texas hospital because of the delay in his care us having to go through all of the legal hoops to try to get him across his appendix ruptured the child eventually made it to a Texas hospital and Salman says he s doing well the Homeland Security Department did not respond to a request for comment when questioned before about appalling conditions in Mexican border towns where asylum seekers are white. A senior u.s. Officials have replied that parents should not bring children on these harrowing journeys in the 1st place and further they say Mexico has assured the trumpet ministration that migrants are being taken care of more of a new Bonnie said law disagrees he and his 17 year old son Marvin hole will fled to because he says Image 13 gangsters were trying to recruit the teenager now the same thing is happening with dogs who hang around the matter Morrison can t my saliva said goodbye to Marvin Jr 2 weeks ago his son crossed the border and he s now in a child shelter his father hopes he ll be released into the care of a great uncle in Dallas and not take them up without a lot of. I don t know what s going to happen to the parents I don t know if the laws will ever permit us to reunite with our children what happens to us is in God s hands but I want to make sure my son a safe the 3rd father I met in the Mount Morris camp who sent his child away with Lopez I want to but as he had. How do I say this was the hardest thing I ve ever done in my life 3 weeks ago he told his 10 year old say Armando to cross the bridge alone to be with his mother and little sister who live in Houston the parents are divorced. The best way I told him Don t worry I m coming home he said Promise me Poppy I had to tell him a white lie I m with. Them until they get a. Little backpack and inside was his favorite toy a stuffed turtle and his jacket his passport and his mother s phone number at the. When he walked to the bridge and I gave him 5 passes to cross he walked away and turned around and waved the last thing I saw was my son being escorted away by 2 American officials as. John Burnett is still with us and John what happens to these parents so are you in the case of Delmar Lopez he s already lost his asylum case and he doesn t. What he ll do now and he s too afraid to return to Honduras d. Says thugs threaten to kill him there and all of these parents know if they lose their asylum cases as a family their children will never get to the u.s. At least if the child goes alone they have a shot have you been able to figure out how many parents are doing this we don t actually know that Jodi Goodwin is a long time immigration lawyer in the Rio Grande Valley and she says she has 4 clients in the matter Morris can t who ve sent their kids to live in the u.s. Including Delmar Lopez who we just heard from I met her in a coffee shop and we talked about this painful choice that hurts that and I m snivelled embedded a 7 year old I can t imagine I mean. And what mom that sent her 3 year old how do you push it 3 year old across a bridge and say Go beat them this is better for you. And she said something else Goodwin was involved in lots of family separation cases remember that s when the administration decided to punish parents for crossing the border illegally by physically removing their children from them she told me those cases were wrenching but when a parent decides my child is better off without me Goodwin said that s so much worse That s N.P.R. s John Burnett on the Texas Mexico border thank you John you bet our. The European Union s smallest member state is in crisis over the unsolved murder of a prominent investigative journalist 2 government ministers on the island of Malta have resigned and the Prime Minister s own chief of staff has been arrested all 3 deny being involved in the murder of Daphne Koller Monica let s see if she died in a car bombing 2 years ago 2 and a casus dug into the unsolved murder for us last year and has been following the developments she s on the line with us from Athens Hey Joanna. So tell us a little more about this journalist who was she and how was she viewed in Malta so deafening kind of when it glitzy it was modest most prominent journalist she wrote about fuel smuggling organized crime money laundering She also called the elite law firm records known as the head of the peepers indeed bound offshore well why did the inner circle as prime minister chose let s under She got a lot of death threats she got sued a lot a government minister even froze her big house and you know it all came to a tragic end on October 16th 2017 just outside her village I remember talking to her son about that. He heard this huge explosion issue thrown away from their house I knew it was a call them straight doing I tried calling my mother on the phone with perceived injuring when I got there there was just so much destruction and so much fire and since that day her family has never stopped very publicly and all over the world about her murder they want to know who s behind it they want justice and they blame the government the prime minister less for blocking just as they say you know these people have some. Well what about the rest of the Maltese public I mean do you get the sense that there are a lot of people out there who believe the Prime Minister is responsible for this murder. Well you know it really depends on who you are. I mean mother s a deeply divided place politically those who like Joseph Muscat in the center left Labor Party or other we owe it to him but the other half and they believe the government is corrupt and is covering up the murder of a very brave teller and they want to resign you know here was the scene yesterday in the capital Bolena. There shouting the protesters shouting Mafia Mafia just as Muscat is leaving his office it through aides and goings at him and that s after his top aide and 2 of the government ministers left their jobs so do these recent resignations and also the rest of the prime minister s chief of staff to these events give people the sense that there is evidence tying these men to the murder.

Austin to get crushed and then go home Nathan Bane had other ideas with seconds left in overtime in the game tied up Duke lost the ball a lumberjack.

News I m Ari Shapiro and I m Elsa Chang President Trump offered a show of support this evening for pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong the president signed a pro Hong Kong bill that the Chinese government had warned would be seen as meddling in its domestic affairs even as he signed the bill though Trump offered a conciliatory message to Chinese President Xi Jinping Trump is trying to avoid upsetting trade talks with Beijing right now which has reached a delicate stage N.P.R. s Scott Horsley joins us now hey Scott so just a few days ago President Trump was pretty noncommittal on whether he would sign this legislation what s changed you know it s pretty clear this bill was going to become law with or without the president s signature it passed the Senate unanimously I think there was a single no vote in the house so Congress was really overwhelming in its support for the democracy movement in Hong Kong and Trump decided it was better to be on that train than under it so he went ahead and signed the bill but he also reiterated his respect for Xi Jinping just as he had done last week when he was asked about the Hong Kong bill in an interview with Fox News here s what he said on Friday we have to say I do what I m going but I m also standing with President Xi he s a friend of mine is an incredible guy so since then you know c.e.o. He s really trying to walk this fine line we ve had local elections in the interim in Hong Kong and the pro-democracy forces won a big victory in his statement this evening the president said he hopes the leaders of Hong Kong and mainland China can settle their differences amicably All right so we just heard President from being a friend he s also a negotiating partner with some pretty high stakes trade talks on the line so how do you think signing this pro Hong Kong bill will affect the ongoing trade talks chump acknowledged last week that Hong Kong could be a complicating factor in those trade negotiations but he s really trying hard not to alienate President Xi to the point where. He might just walk away from the table for weeks now the u.s. And China have been trying to broker a limited trade deal in which China would buy some extra soybeans and other foreign goods from the u.s. In exchange they d get some limited tariff relief from President Trump earlier this week the 2 sides had a phone call but actually nailing down an agreement has been really elusive yet and there is a deadline looming in less than 3 weeks the trouble ministration has threatened to impose tariffs on another $160000000000.00 worth of Chinese imports including a lot of popular consumer items if there s no agreement struck by December 15th I am curious though a lot of this Hong Kong bill seems symbolic What is the practical effect of this legislation you know the practical effects not entirely clear the bill says the State Department has to report each year on whether China is living up to the promises it made back in 1907 that it would preserve Hong Kong s autonomy if Beijing is seen as falling short the administration could strip Hong Kong of its special trading status so it is a cudgel the administration could use to go after China but it also gives the the president a lot of leeway and Trump underscored that in his signing statement this evening saying he would ignore any part of this bill that he sees as compromising his constitutional powers to conduct foreign policy the way he wants to and you know Trump has argued that his friendship with she has actually been good for Hong Kong has helped to head off a tougher crackdown on the pro-democracy forces of the bill does authorize sanctions against Chinese officials if they do carry out a crackdown in Hong Kong and President Trump also signed a separate bill this evening that bars the u.s. From selling things to the Hong Kong police like tear gas and rubber bullets That s N.P.R. s Scott Horsley thank you Scott you re welcome. Kristen Campbell s 1st book the dirty life told the story of how she left a publishing career in New York City to start a farm and no idea you can be dirty in so many different ways there s dirt dirt there s blood there sweat there s. Your own sweat and sweat of animals the dirty life became a surprise bestseller 10 years later Kimball is once again writing about farming her new book good husbandry tells how farming has continued to shape her marriage and her life into middle age Brian Mann of North Country Public Radio reports when I turn up at Kristen and Martin Bill s farm house it smells rich and earthy potato in the soup bubbling warm on the stove is a big block of their homemade cheese on the battered table I just wish that everybody had the experience of getting their hands in the dirt and seeing what a miracle it is to pull food out of it and then to cook it and eat it with other people Kristen Kimball is a small woman with dark shoulder length hair now in her forty s it s late autumn as we said out of the fields she and Mark are what you might call evangelists for the small for local food movement my pitch is always can I convince to come upon everyone I meet He s a tall rangy guy in a big straw who grins with excitement when he talks about Milton and. I guide their land as 6 forms rolls over 1600 acres of forest meadow in New York s outer on the foothills even this late in the season there are bright purple cabbages in neat rows and if you ve last berries to be plucked there s room. That s all it gets sun sweeps over a distant flock of sheep but the wind is sharp you can feel the winter most large farms these days focus on one or 2 big cash crops the Kimballs raise everything from beets to chickens in this kind of community supported agriculture a food is sold directly the customers in the case of the Kimballs feeding hundreds of families in theory this business model is more sustainable it means more money in their pockets but this life is still precarious It started off disastrously wet and cold in the spring summer and fall where they get their. In our harvest were some of the best habits that we had they supplement their income with speaking fees and revenue from Kristen s books after 15 years at the center of the small farm Renaissance they compose describe themselves as one part romantic 2 part realist work and I came into every culture to time when things felt very very hopeful you know we were at this wave of young farmers who were starting new farms many of us 1st generation but it s also the old story about culture which is that we re working in a business that is subject to the chaos of weather to the vicissitudes of market so yes it s rich it s beautiful and it s also really really hard this is part of the story her book good husbandry tells the feel of late autumn days in the fields the joy of raising their 2 daughters on the farm but also the strain of a struggling small business and the pressure on a marriage they say they see a lot of farms like mirrors fail since Kristen s 1st book came out they go out of business because of burnout and divorce I think any farm family would recognise the farm is the thing that holds you together as a family because it s the project you work on together with Ashton and energy and it s also the thing that can wear you down as a family because who work isn t real and seen and the financial pressure can really erode the family when you step back a little bit the fact that we re still here around this table is pretty close to Americal they re clearly proud of the fact that their farm is still in business and they say they re still having fun making a life together working their land as winter sets in it s a story. That all needs to be harvested. Probably after the ground freezes and that will go for feed for our pigs and chickens person says even after all these years she s a little startled this turned out to be her story but also happy. Tradeoff she says have been worth it Brian Mann n.p.r. News at 6 New York. You re listening to All Things Considered from n.p.r. News. Now people all over the country are looking forward to spending time tomorrow with some of their nearest and dearest and if you are a fan of the Macy s Thanksgiving Day parade that might mean visiting with a giant floating Snoopy or Sponge Bob Square Pants but Macy s Parade regulars might have to spend the day without these characters high winds are threatening to ground the giant balloons and to hear more about this we re joined now by Jen Chung She s an editor at The Mist which is part of member station and why c Hey Jen Hi aren t so I m guessing gigantic balloons thrashing around in the wind is not the safest thing in the world is that why Snoopy might get grounded tomorrow exactly Now these are huge balloons I mean can you imagine a balloon the size of a 6 story building coming down the street that is the tallest blue and white Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid is 62 feet and then some of them are really long one is 77 feet oh my God Ok So have there been issues in the past when the wind has created dangerous conditions in New York yes back in 1907 on a day with 40 mile per hour winds the cat in the Hat balloon had a street lamp which fell over and injured 4 people and one woman was in a coma for almost a month. Ok but that was in 1997 you said right so right after that New York City created these firm regulations so if wind gusts are above 34 miles per hour or there are sustained wind speeds of over 23 miles per hour the balloons will be grounded Ok have balloons ever been grounded since 1907 No but back in 2005 even though the conditions were fined for the balloons to be flying m. And M s balloon had a street lamp and injured 2 other people so the city has also taken more measures to increase training and enhance their wind monitoring so it s balloons knocking down street lamps that seem to be the recurring hazard it is and so they ve also looked at street furniture to see if there s anything they can do and maybe to. They re after a little Ok so I imagine officials are keeping a close eye on the weather report tomorrow will the balloons be ready to go if officials make a call at the very last minute that everything s going to be Ok the balloon inflation started this afternoon and continues throughout the evening so the Macy s Parade team has been watching over the balloons and then overnight they ll make sure that they re anchored and ready to possibly go tomorrow morning Ok now the prey does start at 9 am but it is a 2.5 mile route right this last like several hours at least at least until noon I understand so if when conditions change in the middle of this long procession then what happens can the prey just stop so the balloons at all these different intersections there when monitors there s even a one monitor with each balloon and someone from the n.y.p.d. So they ll be checking throughout and if the wind conditions become more dangerous they re actually going to pull the balloons to a side street and then they will be safely taken away that is Gothamist and w n y c editor Jen chan that talking about wind conditions that might sideline some gigantic balloons tomorrow during the Macy s Thanksgiving Day Parade thank you so much Jen and have a happy Thanksgiving Thank you Happy Thanksgiving.

What you said n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I m not that Chang and I m Ari Shapiro when the actor and singer Mandy Patinkin recently came into our studio to talk about his new album he was preoccupied with subjects that go beyond music questions like What am I going to do with the rest of my life now I m really free because I finished the final scenes of Homeland and of the final release on phantom season Season 8 I literally just came here from the final photo shoot with Claire Claire Danes who stars with Mandy Patinkin in the Showtime drama about terrorism Patinkin has been in the public eye for decades in 1979 his breakout role came off as it Patti Lu Pone in the musical it. Did you. In your own. Use would it be that. He wanted Tony for that role in the 1980 s. The movie The Princess Bride gave him a line that people still quote today. His career has been a nonstop string of plays films t.v. Shows albums concert tours and so on this day having just finished homeland after an 8 year run Mandy Patinkin snoo album children and art took a backseat to those bigger ideas now I ll have all my time and all my mind and all my being to be free of that world that fictional world of Homeland lived in to be able to live more in a world that I feel is is far more hopeful and optimistic and less frightening I get the sense that at this point in your life. You have a kind of freedom and ability to take risks and do what you want that maybe you didn t have 20 or 30 years ago when you still had something to prove I don t plan to put anything on my calendar I want to keep it open. I want to be last I want to see what I d bump into I realize that when I was 14 or 15 at the Young Men s Jewish Council you Center on the South Side of Chicago because I hated school my mother said Why don t you go be in the plays over there I did a play something happened in rehearsal one day and I thought this sounds good if this is what plays are I m going to I m going to hang here and I did that for more than 40 years and there s all the things I didn t choose to do which is infinite. And what might I have bump into now I m a workaholic my kids called me the project Man I m addicted to projects whether I ll make it and not take a familiar job in the craft that I ve practiced and for my whole life I may well crumble and go do that I hope I don t only you would call like a starring in a Broadway show or a movie or a marquee television series crumbling because I d like to see what else there is out there and what I might find I m well aware that any difficulties Mandy has is just getting through the day it Mandy opens an ice cream shop you know like I like all of us so you know I deal with anxiety who doesn t but me and he s going to go with me if I open an ice cream shop I m going to worry about the ice cream melting I m going to worry about the problems cracking I m going to worry about there not being enough chocolate chips in the trial culture but I m aware of all of that yeah but I m also really curious as to you know I don t know how much time I have left on this planet I don t want to miss something that might be right in front of my face. I got to ask you ve you ve been known for so many roles over so many years homeland Sunday in the Park With George Chicago Hope I mean you know Princess Bride is there something you most like when people relate you to I would say the 2 were working with James Wood pine and Steve Sondheim on Sunday in the Park With George James having written the words connect George connect. Game playing a. Game of your ways moving. And connected is the word of my life it s what I long to be able to do every minute that I m awake and the other one being the. It is shell them and when I learned this he had a shoe repertoire it just hit me in the kitchen as they say and I didn t grow up speaking Yiddish I didn t it wasn t really used as a secret language of myself it just hit me in my soul when I learned from it is whatever culture you come from let the sounds and the music wash over you you don t even need to know the words place. It will take you somewhere you can t even understand but it will guide you and calmly you and make you feel not alone you talk about the act of making music as a joyful act in contrast to the dark show Homeland you ve been making but between the song about refugees with bodies on the water and the Laurie Anderson track from the air which describes the plane going down there is a lot of darkness on this album too. There is but you know. I love Stephen Sondheim people of asked me why Steve Sondheim and and what I feel Sondheim and Shakespeare are about is turning that darkness into light so even the refugee song The effort is to shine the light through the darkness because that s our way to tomorrow to change narratives that are literally unacceptable that we re living with because they affect human lives as we are witnessing minute by minute while we re talking there is one song from Broadway on this album it s the title track children and art which is written by Sondheim for the show that you start in the original Broadway production of some in the Park with George and this was some by Brenda Peters and that production. It was a song I ve always loved from the minute I heard Bernadette hear it for the 1st time and the minute I heard her sing it for the 1st time it was universal and genderless art never more than these moments where living these days is the avenue toward expression of existence the whole system is falling apart and you need to turn to the fire department to put out the flames and in this case I appeal to artists of every nature to guide us in the lead us back to humanity and caring for our fellow human beings and doing what is morally and ethically appropriate and not forgetting what my Grandpa Max used to say in Yiddish. The Fed law which means the wheel is always turning So if you re on top know that one day you ll be on the bottom and if somebody is knocking on your door open it and. Welcome from or no one who will be there when you need a. Man to protect and it s been a joy talking to you thank you so much Same here thank you his new album is called Children and art and he will be on a 30 city concert tour performing songs from the album in the months ahead.

News this is All Things Considered I m not the Chang and I m Ari Shapiro Here s an unthinkable choice stay together as a family in a dangerous and squalid refugee camp on the Us Mexico border or give your child up in the hope that he or she has a shot at asylum this is the choice that some migrant parents are making they re stuck in Mexico because of President Trump s asylum policies and they are sending their unaccompanied children across a bridge that connects the 2 countries N.P.R. s John Burnett has been tracking their journey and he joins us now from Texas near the Mexico border Hi John Hey Ari How bad do circumstances have to be for a parent to do this send their child alone across a bridge into an unknown country it s both an act of desperation and of love you have to understand the conditions in this makeshift refugee camp that sprang up in metamorphose just across the Rio Grande from Brownsville Texas 2000 people are living in Coleman camping tents that were designed for weekends at the lake not as a winter refuge for a family for many months when it rains they leak when a cold front blows in the shiver the campus filthy people are sick the porta johns are overflowing there are criminals everywhere and under an asylum policy called remain in Mexico applicants have to wait up to 6 months in these grim conditions before they get a hearing in u.s. Immigration court and then nearly all their claims are being rejected so why aren t parents crossing the border with their children will adults and families who apply for asylum together are sent back to Mexico but the federal rules are different for unaccompanied kids they can t be returned to Mexico so the parents take advantage of that Ok well let s listen to your story about some of these parents I met 3 very sad hunder and fathers who recently decided to send their sons across the international bridge in the camp people call it the last step but as. I walked up on Alexis Martinez when he was on his cell phone trying to talk to his son to the u.s. . Let s see it next. Unfortunately the call drops heartiness last saw his 2 sons 7 year old and 5 year old Ben how mean under the bus 17 they were holding hands their faces streaked with tears bravely walking across the gateway international bridge the father says he had to send them Little been how mean had been gravely sick and dirtiness couldn t afford any more and biotics. They were sleeping on the ground in the cold but on one occasion my youngest contracted Bronco pneumonia the stones are not good for children because the cold goes right through them. Sometimes you do things not because you re a bad father but because you want what s good for them don t want to see them suffer his sons are now being held in a juvenile shelter in Philadelphia overseen by the Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement Martinez hopes his boys will be released to live with their mother in New York City he and his wife are a strange these are shelters have been criticized for their rigid rules and extended confinement but conditions there are a dramatic improvement over life in the camp a good example is the lack of medical care what s happening down here is breaking my heart these are some of the most vulnerable people on the planet Dr Mara salmon is on the faculty at Temple University she s volunteering at a pop up clinic in the matter Morris camp she says the Mexican state provides no health care to the migrants a vivid example she says she recently diagnosed and 8 year old boy from chop us Mexico with acute appendicitis they sent him to a Mexican hospital and the hospital sent him back untreated he got worse Baal in tears frantically tried to get u.s. Immigration officials to accept the child and his father so he could be treated at a Texas hospital because of the Del a in his care us having to go through all of the legal hoops to try to get him across his appendix ruptured the child eventually made it to a Texas hoss. Little and Salman says he s doing well the Homeland Security Department did not respond to a request for comment when questioned before about appalling conditions in Mexican border towns where asylum seekers are waiting senior officials have replied that parents should not bring children on these harrowing journeys in the 1st place and further they say Mexico has assured the trumpet ministration that migrants are being taken care of more of the new funny stuff like it disagrees he and his 17 year old son Marvin whole elp fled to the gulp of because he says in Mr teen getting stories we re trying to recruit the teenager melt the same thing is happening with drugs who hang around the matter Morrison can t my saliva said goodbye to Marvin Jr 2 weeks ago his son crossed the border and he s now in a child shelter his father hopes he ll be released into the care of a great uncle in Dallas and not take up a lot of a lot of that if. I don t know what s going to happen to the parents I don t know if the laws will ever permit us to reunite with our children what happens to us is in God s hands but I want to make sure my son is say the 3rd father I met in the Mount Morris camp who sent his child away with Delmer Lopez I want to put as he had. How do I say it this was the hardest thing I ve ever done in my life 3 weeks ago he told his 10 year old will stay or mando to cross the bridge alone to be with his mother and little sister who live in Houston the parents are divorced and in one of the best of the way I told him Don t worry I m coming home he said Promise me Poppy I had to tell him a white lie on which he did them at the. Little backpack and inside was his favorite toy a stuffed turtle and his jacket his passport and his mother s phone number at the mall a single best. When he walked to the bridge and I gave him 5 vessels to cross he walked away and turned around and waved the last thing I saw was my son being escorted away by to America. Officials as one of them. John Burnett is still with us and John what happens to these parents so are you in the case of Delmar Lopez he s already lost his asylum case and he doesn t know what he ll do now and he s too afraid to return to Honduras he says dogs threatened to kill him there and all of these parents know if they lose their asylum cases as a family their children will never get to the u.s. At least if the child goes alone they have a shot have you been able to figure out how many parents are doing this we don t actually know Jodi Goodwin is a long time immigration lawyer in the Rio Grande Valley and she says she has 4 clients in the manner Morris camp who ve sent their kids to live in the u.s. Including Delmar Lopez who we just heard from I met her in a coffee shop and we talked about this painful choice that haunts me at night and I m snivelled embedded a 7 year old I can t imagine I mean and what that sent her 3 year old how do you push it 3 year old across a bridge and say go meet the girl this is better for you. And she said something else Goodwin was involved in lots of family separation cases remember that s when the administration decided to punish parents for crossing the border illegally by physically removing their children from them she told me those cases were wrenching but when a parent decides my child is better off without me Goodwin said that s so much worse That s N.P.R. s John Burnett on the Texas Mexico border thank you John you bet Ari. The European Union smallest member state is in crisis over the unsolved murder of a prominent investigative journalist 2 government ministers on the island of Malta have resigned and the Prime Minister s own chief of staff has been arrested all 3 denied being involved in the murder of Daphne.

Well what about the rest of the Maltese public I mean do you get the sense that there are a lot of people out there who believe the Prime Minister is responsible for this murder. Well you know it really depends on who you are. I mean mothers it deeply divided the cli those who like just Muscat and the center left Labor Party or other we owe it to him but the other half they believe the government just corruption is covering up the murder of a very brave feller and they want to resign you know he was the scene yesterday in the Capitol Bolena. They re shouting the protesters are shouting Mafia Mafia just as Muscat is leaving his office it s rude aides and whines at him and not soccer his top aide and 2 of the government ministers left their jobs so do these recent resignations and also the rest of the prime minister s chief of staff to these events give people the sense that there is evidence tying these men to the murder. You know that s not me your dad but what e s clear is that the the in to get me kind of want to go and see is murder is finally widening wealth is most powerful evil you know these are the very people she investigated as a journalist so that s a lot of pressure on Prime Minister just once got but he s not resigning he did nice in the murder of death and I want to go and see it and he says he wants to well.

News I m Ari Shapiro and I m Elsa Chang President Trump says he will designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups Trump told former Fox News host Bill O Reilly in an interview that he s been working on it for the last 90 days the Mexican government has greeted the news with alarm saying the move would amount to intervention for more on how Mexico is seeing this we re joined now by journalist James Frederick in Mexico City Hi James I also Thanks for having me so I mean there s nothing new right about the u.s. Being concerned with Mexican drug cartels So why is the Mexican government so alarmed by what Trump is saying right now well President Lopez Obrador summed it up pretty concise Lee this morning at a press conference he said Cooperation yes intervention no when it comes to us you re fighting drug cartels who headed ministration have basically said that they don t think the militarized a war on drugs has worked and they want to ramp it down but with Trump coming in and saying things like that it feels like it s been ramped back up and the fear in Mexico is that this terrorism and other nation is the 1st step towards u.s. Military and her intervention here in Mexico well how exactly would designating cartels as terrorist groups change the fight against them. Well President Trump has made it clear he wants to change the way these drug cartels are fought as he referenced on Bill O Reilly he said he wants to help the Mexican government I ve actually offered him to let us go in and clean it out and he so far as rejected the offer but at some point something has to be done. So the question is what Trump means by this if this means direct u.s. Military intervention in Mexico that s really not clear if you means that but in practical terms this designation gives the u.s. The ability to impose sanctions on anyone who is supported or aiding drug cartels in any way but that s not exactly new the u.s. Treasury Department already sanctions lots of people who are affiliated with cartels the other big difference that this could make is that it would the State Department s counterintelligence unit could be involved in Mexico providing more surveillance and intelligence but again the question is how much that changes the Drug Enforcement Administration is already very active in Mexico against drug cartels How much does that move the needle Well if this does go through with these cartels are defined as terrorist organizations What do you see as possible unintended consequences that could flow out of this the biggest question is how do you identify someone as a member or a collaborator of a drug cartel in recent years here in Mexico there s been a huge bowl entering of the drug cartels so there s now dozens of different cartels of different sizes here affiliation it s hard to pin down it s constantly shifting so that s a big question the other one is that you know when we get into the question of material support how do you define that we know lots of u.s. Businesses have been extorted by Mexican drug cartels you talk to them at your point of terrorism Exactly and so these u.s. Companies who have had to pay extortion to drug cartels they would. Now be officially aiding a terrorist organization there are just lots of questions of what this will actually look like on the ground here in Mexico That s reporter James Frederick in Mexico City thank you James thank you.

Disastrously wet and cold in the spring summer and fall were pretty good for us and our harvest were some of the best habits that we had they supplement their income with speaking fees and revenue from Kristen s books after 15 years at the center of the small farm Renaissance they can build describe themselves as one part romantic 2 part realist work and I came into every culture to time when things felt very very hopeful you know we were at this wave of young farmers who were starting new farms many of us 1st generation but it s also the old story of that culture which is Pat we re working in a business that is subject to the chaos of weather to the vicissitudes of market so yes it s rich it s beautiful and it s also really really heart this is part of the story her book good husbandry tells the feel of late autumn days in the fields the joy of raising their 2 daughters on the farm but also the strain of a struggling small business and the pressure on a marriage they say the same a lot of farms like theirs fail since Kristen s 1st book came out they go out of business because of burnout and divorce I think any farm family would recognise the farm is the thing that holds you together as a family because it s the project that you work on together with passion and energy and it s also the thing that can wear you down as a family because the work isn t real and seen and the financial pressure can really eroded the family when you step back a little bit the fact that we re still here around this table it s pretty close to Americal there clearly proud of the fact that their farm is still in business and they say they re still having fun making a life together working their land as winter sets them just so I. Don t need to be harvested. Probably after the ground freezes and that will go for feed for our pigs and chickens. Person says even after all these years she s a little startled this turned out to be her story but also happy the trade off she says and then worth it Brian Mann n.p.r. News Essex New York. Illinois. Player. And. You re listening to All Things Considered from n.p.r. News. Now people all over the country are looking forward to spending time tomorrow with some of their nearest and dearest and if you are a fan of the Macy s Thanksgiving Day parade that might mean visiting with a giant floating Snoopy or Sponge Bob Square Pants but Macy s Parade regulars might have to spend the day without these characters high winds are threatening to ground the giant balloons and to hear more about this we re joined now by Jen Chung She s an editor at The Mist which is part of member station and why see hey jen Hi Art So I m guessing gigantic balloons thrashing around in the wind is not the safest thing in the world is that why Snoopy might get grounded tomorrow exactly Now these are huge balloons I mean can you imagine a balloon the size of a 6 story building coming down the street that is the tallest blew in while Reg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid is 62 feet and then some of them are really long one is 77 feet oh my God Ok So have there been issues in the past when the wind has created dangerous conditions in New York yes back in 1907 on a day with 40 mile per hour winds the cat in the Hat balloon had a street lamp which fell over and injured 4 people and one woman was in a coma for almost a month. Ok but that was in 1997 you said right so right after that New York City created these firm regulations so if wind gusts are above 34 miles per hour or there are sustained wind speeds of over 23 miles per hour the balloons will be grounded Ok have balloons ever been grounded since 1907 No but back in 2005 even though the conditions were fine for the balloons to be flying a m. And M s balloon had a streetlamp and injured 2 other people so the city has also taken more measures to increase training and enhance their wind monitoring so it s balloons knocking down street lamps that seem to be the recurring hazard it is and so they ve also looked at street furniture to see if there s anything they can do and maybe to. A little so I imagine officials are keeping a close eye on the weather report tomorrow be ready to go if officials make a call at the very last minute that everything s going to be Ok the balloon inflation started this afternoon and continues throughout the evening so the Macy s Parade has been watching over the balloons and then overnight they ll make sure that they re anchored and ready to possibly go tomorrow morning Ok now the prey does start at 9 am but it is a 2.5 mile route right like several hours at least at least until noon I understand so if when conditions change in the middle of this long procession then what happens can the prey just stop so the balloons at all these different intersections there when monitors there s even a one monitor with each balloon and someone from the n.y.p.d. So they ll be checking throughout and if the wind conditions become more dangerous they re actually going to pull the balloons to a side street and then they will be safely taken away that is Gothamist and the editor Jentzsch talking about wind conditions that might sideline some gigantic balloons tomorrow during the Macy s Thanksgiving Day Parade thank you so much Jen and have a happy Thanksgiving Thank you Happy Thanksgiving.

From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I know the Chuang And I m Ari Shapiro when the actor and singer Mandy Patinkin recently came into our studio to talk about his new album he was preoccupied with subjects that go beyond music questions like What am I going to do with the rest of my life now I m really free because I finished the final scenes of Homeland and of the final release on phantom season Season 8 I literally just came here from the final photo shoot with Claire Claire Danes who stars with Mandy Patinkin in the Showtime drama about terrorism Patinkin has been in the public eye for decades in 1979 his breakout role came opposite Patti Lu Pone in the musical it. Did you believe. In you only. Use wouldn t. He want to Tony for that role in the 1980 s. The movie The Princess Bride gave him a line that people still quote today. His career has been a nonstop string of plays films t.v. Shows albums concert tours and so on this day having just finished homeland after an 8 year run Mandy Patinkin snoo album children and art took a backseat to those bigger ideas now I ll have all my time and all my mind and all my being to be free of that world that fictional world of Homeland lived in to be able to live more in a world that I feel is is far more hopeful and optimistic and less frightening I get the sense that at this point in your life. You have a kind of freedom and ability to take risks and do what you want that maybe you didn t have 20 or 30 years ago when you still had something to prove I don t plan to put anything on my calendar I want to keep it open I want to be lost I want to see what I d bump into I realize that when I was 14 or 15 at the Young Men s Jewish Council you Center on the south side Chicago because I hated school my mother said want to go be in the plays over there I did a play something happened in rehearsal one day and I thought this sounds good if this is what plays are I m going to I m going to hang here and I did that for more than 40 years and there s all the things I didn t choose to do yeah which is infinite. And what might I have bump into now I m a workaholic my kids called me the project Man I m addicted to projects whether I ll make it and not take a familiar job in the craft that I ve practiced and for my whole life I may well and go do that I hope I don t only you would call like a starring in a Broadway show or a movie or a marquee television series crumbling because I d like to see what else there is out there and what I might find I m well aware that any difficulties Mandy has is just getting through the day if Mandy opens an ice cream shop you know like I like all of us so you know I deal with anxiety who doesn t but me and he s going to go with me if I open an ice cream shop I m going to worry about the ice cream melting I m going to worry about the problems cracking I m going to worry about there not being enough chocolate chips in the truck and. I m aware of all of that yeah but I m also really curious as to you know I don t know how much time I have left on this planet I don t want to miss something that might be right in front of my face . I ve got to ask you ve you ve been known for so many roles over so many years homeland Sunday in the Park With George Chicago Hope I mean the Princess Bride is there something you most like when people relate you to I would say the 2 were working with James the pine and Steve Sondheim on Sunday in the Park With George James having written the words connect George connect. Being entering a. New long ways to being. Connected is the word of my life it s what I long to be able to do every minute that I m awake and the other one being the. It is shell them and when I learned this huge issue repertoire it just hit me in the kitchen as they say and I didn t grow up speaking Yiddish I didn t it wasn t really used as a secret language of my so it just hit me in my soul when I learned from it is whatever culture you come from let the sounds and the music wash over you you don t even need to know the words place. It will take you somewhere you can t even understand but it will guide you and calmly you and make you feel not alone you talk about the act of making music as a joyful act in contrast to the dark show Homeland you ve been making but between the song about refugees with bodies on the water and the Laurie Anderson track from the air which describes the plane going down that there is a lot of darkness on this album too. There is but you know. I love Stephen Sondheim people a vast me and why Steve Sondheim and and what I feel Sondheim and Shakespeare are about is turning that darkness into light so even the refugee song The effort is to shine the light through the darkness because that s our way to tomorrow to change narratives that are literally unacceptable that we re living with because they affect human lives as we are witnessing minute by minute while we re talking there is one song from Broadway on this album it s the title track children and art which is written by Sondheim for the show that you start in the original Broadway production of Sonny in the Park with George and this was some by Bernadette Peters in that production just to see this. It was a song I ve always loved from the minute I heard Bernadette hear it for the 1st time and the minute I heard her sing it for the 1st time it was universal and genderless art never more than these moments where living these days is the avenue toward expression of existence the whole system is falling apart and you need to turn to the fire department to put out the flames and in this case I I appeal to artists of every nature to guide us in the lead us back to humanity and caring for our fellow human beings and doing what is morally and ethically appropriate and not forgetting what my Grandpa Max used to say in Yiddish. The Fed law which means the wheel is always turning So if you re on top know that one day you ll be on the bottom and if somebody is knocking on your door open it and welcome come or no one who will be there when you need help. Mend it to tank and it s been a joy talking to you thank you so much same.

Studio alone Yeah that s quite special it is quite special it s very special and I know everyone listening will be enjoying the intimacy of it as well. Tell us a little bit well this isn t the 1st time you ve been in this studio because you came in with Koby on yeah I was here maybe about 18 months ago with me during a session that is that I was lots of fun totally different configuration of course yeah but yeah it was great and it wasn t I mean I was aware that you existed and that you were out there making music but hadn t actually seen you play live at that point and since then I ve seen a few Chinese Tell us a bit about your life because you ve jewel identity of being Scottish and Kenyan and you grew up in rural Scotland Yeah I am I was born into Suny Kenya and then in 1907 came over and today the Deep South of Scotland I am in a tiny tiny village called height a shot at a height a. In the lock I m even massive. And day and up in school unlike the northern tip of Dumfriesshire and then moved to Glasgow and I ve been Glasgow since 2008 what was your you know experience of growing up in Scotland with your jewel identity how was it being a black girl in Scotland and living in the countryside very tricky I mean that s that s what that last song is a boat. Have their marginalised and polarized I felt and how are they and but I wouldn t be doing what I m doing if wasn t for that particular strain of life I suppose so it informs your our own oh yeah right definitely definitely and what other things I mean I hear that you know just the Scottish weather you know the countryside. Where their grief love and I move I have got a bit of a dark sense of humor thought I tend to laugh a lot 3 griefer tend to make light of things but that one that doesn t necessarily come across in the music when it comes across and there in between banter I ve seen you. In between song banter is hilarious sometimes tell us about the name error of the cursed I mean it conjures up so many images and I suppose it taps into this dark side you re talking about yeah of the karst actually came to me in a dream I was having I have very verge Reims that I was having a dream about. 2017 and the phrase that came out of it was there the karst So I went on Google as you do with all of your dreams and ended up that it was the tribal name of a man called Patrice Lumumba and he was the 1st democratically elected president of . The Democratic Republic of Congo but he was. Assassinated in a joint q. By the British government of the Belgian government so that and that was his tribal name way of the karst. I mean imagine how astonishing I mean is some of the perhaps read or absorbed him so massively I mean I do I fall asleep to a lot of like documentaries So something and Thank you Chief algorithm probably fed me Yeah Ok what about songwriting in terms of actually you know you re a solo artist although you do sometimes play with the drummer and you have got a percussionist can be here with me tonight Hello Daniel. But yeah it s usually just me I m trying to get a little band together but I also hate telling people what to do. So they just got to instinctively kind of for he had just come in and do what you do so put a bit in writing songs I mean where does that come from what with a day inspiration is that made you pick up a guitar start singing. My 1st 1st records I ever heard when I came over would have been in the moden and a lot of our early Hughes stuff so my dad had a extensive record collection and by listen to a lot of that John arbitrating I was obsessed with their number trading and but it was Joni Mitchell that really got me to join a mutual ancestor is out of harp got me picking up the guitar and thought that you know this is something that I could I could do so I m actually playing my 1st ever guitar this is I was actually going to say I love that it s our I love the way it looks and it sounds great as well and that s the 1st Everett sorry I got this when I was 8 it s no 21 years old excellent Well let s let s have a look well I don t even know if it s a vanity I mean it s more than 21 years I was made in 1074 but at 21 years old yeah it sounds great and so what kinds of things were you playing when you 1st just but like finding your way around the fretboard and snare and yeah I did a lot of. Everyone s dime still do yeah a lot of smoke on the water that was I got some guitar lessons then my 1st ever guitar teacher was a guy called Mr love. Freeze and he taught me a lot. Fingerstyle Joni Mitchell. And that have John arbitrate a pair of. It s kind of African style guitar but not too much I kind of delved into that little later on yeah and what am I taking to the stage as they are of the curse what with those 1st you know couple of gigs like that was Juno was funny my 1st my last gig as Genesee is my previous project and my 1st because I have a karst was that Daisy that pretty slim who was assassinated this is this is to sort of magical land so I felt it felt really right and that the last gig I was wearing all black in meters meters of black fabric and heels I was like a floating 9 am and I with Jack commiserating with everyone about the death of Genesee but the birth of the craft right well it s fascinating and I really think that what you re doing is very original as well let s hear another track and we can Shabbat more later on we re going to play 1st we re going we re going back back into panel so we re going to be doing welcome to Ok and then we re going to step 4 I think you need a glass of that financial rattle that a little bit of red all songs are written with red wine Well I was thinking I would join if I wasn t driving home afterwards but all the songs are written with red wine so why not have it when performing in the Ok so this is saris safe walking does the walking right Ok let s hear air of the curse your own p.c. Radio School thanks Frank. Wonderful live music you re on b.b.c. Radio skulled air of the karst with walking disaster building a what s not want to buy if you don t mind sharing who had thoughts of childlessness type listening growing up and the sort of when you see how different paths. Through the grow up to take I have and yeah I don t know your songs but you know can a very personal agenda write about perhaps you know I mean for example you were talking about otherness earlier on feel politically of the moment there must be a few inspiring things going on worldwide that could creep into songs yeah I mean I think it s interesting I was thinking about that idea of a protest song and how very few. Modern protest songs there are but there s so much to protest about so I ve been working on a couple of ideas about that and because my songs are very very personal that cannot and itself be quite limiting when you re talking about just yourself and not quite are subsequently Yeah well no I mean but again it s difficult to write a good protest song there have been many great ones and there are some bad ones that there is when you want to get it just right yeah yeah anyway it s a pleasure having in session tonight 2 more tracks later on we ll talk about the list one hundred s Katherine Joseph the Great Western festival all sorts of stuff still have thank you air of the current here on b.b.c.

Hi this is Steve Inskeep with N.P.R. s Morning Edition our goal is to bring you news that matters to keep you in touch with information that you need to make sense of the world in what can seem like a senseless time over the course of a day a week a month the news unfolds and where they re with your day by day listen to Morning Edition everyday weekday mornings on 89.3 p.c.c. . You re listening to Q On c.b.c. Radio one Sirius x.m. 169 and from p.r.i. Public Radio International I m Tom our. Children and. So that voice you re hearing right there that s Mandy Patinkin the same Mandy Patinkin you might know from films like The Princess Bride or t.v. Shows like Chicago Hope or homeland what you re hearing there is the title track to his new album children and art you see music has been a big part of Mandy s life for a very very long time he s bringing some of his favorite songs to the stage in Toronto this week in a solo concert show called Diaries he s singing songs from his own album Songs from Broadway musicals even popular songs you ve heard on the radio let s hear a little bit more maybe mom. Can we talk about this we just heard the children are to Stephen Sondheim tune track from the new record let s to hear you sing it again I mean I just it s so great to be singing again he started singing when you were a kid or you were in enquires when you were 7 or something yeah 7 years old I joined the boys choir congregation out of the South Side of Chicago this is Goldberg was the Cantors wife then and she put me as a soloist in the boys choir on Saturday shall this morning and I had a great time and then I did it till I was 14 or 15 after my like a year or 2 after my bar mitzvah and it defined my life I heard all those old men praying and crying in their voice when they sang and and that sort of where I learned the feeling well that that music can be more than just a song it can be meaningful it can have a spiritual me yes it had to do something to it had a mystery to it because I would listen to these men who were old men that were younger than me. At the time would read. To them pray and sing these beautiful melodies which are in my bones and there was a cry in their voice and there was a mystery to that cry and I and they would get lost in it and they close their eyes and it just was sort of magical and and I just didn t even pay attention but it it just became a part of me I realized later on in life did you start to understand was there a moment where you started to hear music he started to go oh now I know what they were hearing now I know what they were feeling I do I do because I think whether it s funny sad meaningful connective they re all like little remembrances or prayers to me or recollections you know one of my favorite lines in all of literature is from a musical that Oscar Hammerstein wrote and it s a it s a line that s in a lot of cultures as long as there s one person on earth who remembers you it isn t over and a lot of these songs make me remember a lot of things others make me wish for other things others make me celebrate a lot of things but I guess more than anything it there are there are about finding the light for me. Some of them are very ironical and and it s easy to you know go down the dark road with some of these songs but I look at it one day and I went No no no and I hit the light switch and I just flipped that switch and I went make all of them the opposite of that no matter how much they are dragging you down that rabbit hole force your way out kick it Bruce Coburn said kick at the darkness to live bleeds daylight Yeah there you go is pretty good yeah speaking of songs meaning remembrances Can we play the Can we play the 1st song we have here. The moment she. Said that line again back when you got a look at the darkness to live leads Daylight s. Casarosa my name. There s a crack in everything that s how the light gets you pretty get it. Also want to be listening to right now Mandy. A let s listen to. Me It s a oh what a circus oh what is a good beat a new team 7 be 9 so in the spirit of songs giving you memories and being like prayers are being like meditations that s the mistake of error but I like hearing that much about sort of thoughts come to mind oh my lord it was I remember where you were at 20th Century Fox Studios where we recorded it I remember reading in the commissary with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice our member my wife was my fiance that I just met and and I remember that I was 25 years old and it was a fun thing to do that day and. Many lifetimes ago and a life changing one I mean that s the thing I mean I said to someone the other day how often do you get to hear the moment your life changed how often do you get to how many people have that privilege you know yeah it s funny I would never think of that as the moment of my life changed although it certainly was the moment that brought me out to a larger audience but the moments for me were my life changed was when I met my wife Catherine grody film 40 years ago April 16th 1st 8978 and when I saw my 1st son Isaac you know why I saw him 1st when he came into this world to me and my 2nd son Gideon those were the life changing moments for me when I. When I when my father passed away and I was sitting by his bed waiting for hours for his final breath and and it was it was magical it wasn t. It was it was arresting you know that I had you know I m not one of these who people you know who. But there was an energy in that room and my amp title was there who died at 103 years later but I thought my Grandpa Max who I m named after his he named was Menachem Mendel I swear I never met him because I m named after him I was the 1st one born after he after he died and I thought it was in the room and the room was so charged and so it I just never experienced such electricity in a place and it bonded my aunt died in me forever so those were life changing moments for me right this was just a song. But I am I am really interested and I want to talk about some of the stuff the stuff you just mentioned in just a 2nd but I am I am really interested in how when you re a musician and when you re inspired by music how it can affect the rest of your life you know I don t talk with us too much I m a musician I do this job I m always thinking about what does that do right and for someone like you I want to play another clip we take a listen to the to the humbling clip to close if you want other scenes like a terrorist in your bed. Like you. Great song how does it feel. As smart as the dumbest person I ve ever known that was my guess maybe as intelligence agents and sand in the t.v. Series Homeland with his costar Claire Danes and I m just trying to figure what Claire is talking about when she said Mandy is a really musical person and he plays with that in the way he delivers the lines but I think that the way I learn music or words is I go over them hundreds and hundreds of times for hours and days and weeks and I listen to them and I have a head they have no meaning initially and little by little I just start to literally my mouth and everything starts my body starts to memorize the word the forming of them and then I begin later to have thoughts with them and then it s way I it s the way I rehearse and choose and so then I ll have a thought. That marries itself or connects it self whatever the song writer wrote or the or the script writer wrote to something that I m connected to in my life visceral or in my imagination really or in my wishes or my dreams and I and my my game is to marry my imaginative connective tissue thoughts to what the writers wrote that close enough so that it makes me alive and it makes me connected and so that s how I learned the music of it and because of that rehearsing and that repetition as I begin to finally get that idea I don t like this one I like I m going to keep hold of this a better idea or 3 days or this a better idea why I can t believe I didn t think that idea oh my God that s what it is and you know those are days and weeks later and then I go in front of the camera on the idea because I ve done all that homework is now you can forget about it my wife always says when we talk to you know younger people said. You know she said she gave the greatest note to me when she said Mandy and I said I was groggy to go out on an opening night of Secret Garden in New York and Broadway and I said I just I m just so nervous on her she says me Andy you know this guy just forget about it go out there listen to the words and see where they take you. And I think that is the most difficult thing to do but you can do it if you re a workaholic or earn nervous aholic like me meaning I ll rehearse so much that I ve gone through the possibilities and therefore I then can say Ok forget about it and now be with you who is my fellow actor with that day what just happened in your life my life the world that day and we say those words we ve been rehearsing or doing for months or in some cases years which are called classical songs that you sing hundreds and hundreds of times and so why today does it connect to you because you re listening to it and because it s usually written so simply that it has a life that s endless I m going to play some notes for you take a listen. And he s found. She s the greatest. Thing to do here on the news but if you do not see. This trend this. Month. You see. My guest Mandy Patinkin singing a song by. In some ways the greatest American songwriter Maybe Randy Newman so long dad from his new record children and we were talking earlier and I prefer to be it as a life changing moment for you and he said well you know it s not really life changing moments are when I met my wife or my kids were born or when my father passed I can t help it he must have thought he must have it on your mind when you receive that this is a song where I m with my dad and bring him back and and make and him be there forever and I love this song that s a beautiful one. I am a bit moved by it to be honest I ve kind of been through something similar myself you know and they re And you re kind of always hoping for an opportunity to dream about them right hoping that the show I love it actually saying that you know what I mean later I know exactly what you mean would be great if they showed up they do show up as I said before as long as there s one person on earth who remembers who it is and over so you talk about them they re there I remember my dad died when I was 18 I m I think we had a cancer and 6 years or so went by and I hadn t had a dream then one day I had this dream I was playing a heart surgeon and I was picked up by real heart surgeon in this movie the doctor that bill hurt and I did and we were he was taking me to a sports event and I just had this dream and I said I just had the stream about my father had been waiting 6 years for this dream and it was so real that I you know I literally went to this place like who is going to prove to me that my dream is any less real than this conversation I m having with you why can t that be just as real Yeah it was so vivid in my dream but I there was some else I wanted to tell you Oh I know what it was I was doing the play it was called Rebel women and I want to cross the street to the colonnades cafe and this is I m about I hadn t met my wife yet so I m 21 to 3 and a guy walks up to me after the play and I have the scene with Peter Weller where you know it s a father son play but it was during the Civil War and Peter and I have this scene together and and and it s about loss and a guy walks up to me and I m 20 something 23 and a guy walks up to me who s in his fifty s and he says Can I ask he says I saw the play I said Yeah he said Can I ask you something I said sure did did did you is your father alive I said No How long ago did you lose your father. I said about 6 years ago and there was a pause and I looked at this much older man I said Is your father alive now how long ago did you lose your father 6 days ago. And I said wow I said you know and I told the story about this dream I had and I ve been waiting 6 years to have this streaming and I felt so Rob because I was such a crazy kid so manic and energetic and. Didn t listen enough and didn t take time and was robbed of the time with my dad I was 18 and I didn t get to know him the way I want he said let me tell you something I m 55 I just lost my dad you feel that way when you re 55 or 65 or 75 or 2424 I said thank you I said so we do the best we can that s good you know I don t know how much I want to talk about this but I have felt that way. I got you know I do when else got more time yeah 24 but it doesn t matter you know you get 60 years you know but that s the gift of your imagination and if you believe that and see my connection to God Yeah and I m not a you know I m a spiritual guide but I m I m Sciences my connection so Einstein s theory of relativity I get meaning energy never dies back to what I said in the beginning when my dad died and that energy that electricity in that room so I believe that you can be in this space the air you breathe that it exists because that energy isn t what you want to are looking at or what we re listening to or the car the radio or wherever you are it is a different form but that energy exists forever just like light doesn t just like sound does so therefore if you want to breathe in Jesus or Buddha or Moses or your dad or my dad or anybody you knew there are available they re all around us they re all around you and that that to me is science others will say that s religion and I go fine I can t literally define either one of them nor can I define love which is everything religion love science is everything I don t understand. I m going to have some kind of nap after this interview by the way I m going to need some kind of can we bring in a person are there still persons can be really when you when you go through some of these singer songwriter thing yeah or or guys like Steve Sondheim or even or Irving Berlin or running mate Oscar Hammerstein Randy Newman Well singer songwriters you know all those you know these guys I m just the mailman these guys are the geniuses they are plugged into a kind of simplistic poetry that is so available and timeless Yeah it s wonderful but like but like you say when it came to enroll I what I find I m still kind of reeling from is that you need to know the pieces so well and I m taking it s the same case with the music that you feel so attached to with a personal experience or a thought or an emotion that even though you are the mailman and you re your existing within the framework in which they wrote that music you are also that music my favorite word is connect that s what the pine wrote for sun in the Park With George he had me say it over never going to connect George connect if you re connected to the woman you meet the man you meet the child you have the friend your student the world you re alive. You re just a line could be the last song of the last clip from 9 Some can you compare that for me and not just. Be. Me. Move you. It s my guess many take in singing to be of use from his new album children are so. We started by talking about asked about music gave us a child and you told me the story of seeing these older say older men yes you had a few men might be feeling when younger than me no feeling such deep emotions and reverence been in tears in to the music we talked a lot about the power of music and you said that it s the best way to pray it s amazing way to to pray and use it when you listen to something like that when you sing these songs now does it still feel like that to you yeah it s. It s a funny thing music I guess that s why Shakespeare said of music be the food of love play on it and it s a universal language and and that s the going in and out of you if you re a singer and you can t help but feel better than when you started and it just recovers you and it and and you know. I always like playing characters that have accents cuz it s easier to hide behind the acts and therefore it s like a mask and therefore I m freer to express Well that s what music is because I m not singing this interview to you we re talking to each other on a pitch granted but we re not singing you know literally we can we could but that s singing you know his a step from reality and that s a mask Therefore I find it freeing to be truer to. What you know and what you have no idea that s coming Well I mean we re all coming to the theater we re It may include in me to get away from it for a few minutes you know and to go to something else that s a bit more comforting that s one of the reasons I love doing these concerts more than anything in the world is because these songs these stories these lyrics they speak to me and it s really comforting to feel that I m not alone that other people like to listen to them along with me and that s in so you don t feel alone well that s that s what our can do. Bring us back to our happiest moments are can make us feel better it can give us a living in our lives I can t let you go without playing the clip can we can we play that for him. My name is you know through kid life. That you re smiling there playing anyway I was I was unsure how that was going to go I love it I can never get over when people bring it up that I got to be the guy in that movie in my turf and from that person s brain yeah I just I love that people love that film I loved it it was and I just had the best time being with Andre all that time was beautiful and I m always thrilled that people love it and generations and you know we re here for 5 seconds and if you re if you get lucky and something good happens to you in any area of this minuscule life you know enjoy it and I say that to myself as much as I say it to anybody because my best friend he stayed alive to say goodbye to my wife and myself and he will eat a lifted himself out of that took that one spoonful of morphine and he looked at us with wide eyes and he said the hardest thing in the world to do have fun and leave it there may be taken let s talk to you to talk to you. Thank you Mandy Patinkin is a legendary actor and singer you might know him from The Princess Bride you might know him from home land these days he s performing more on stage his new album children and art is out now and if you re interested are you can catch Mandy performing tomorrow evening Thursday night at the edge of Mirvish Theater in downtown Toronto Ontario if you re looking for something to watch we re going to talk about that coming up right after this on Q.

You re listening to Hugh on c.b.c. Radio one Sirius x and $169.00 and for p.r.i. Our Public Radio International My name is Tom our Disney plus has arrived it s the newest streaming platform to hit the market Disney plus includes t.v. And movies from Marvel Pixar Fox National Geographic and of course Disney platforms are outbidding one another for rights to popular shows and movies and that can mean that suddenly a show you love just disappears from the streaming platform that you use lots has been pulled off Netflix over the last several months as different entertainment companies are hoping to grab a piece of the streaming pie and the latest bunch of series that will be pulled off Netflix as soon as next month are all the nature documentaries planet Earth Frozen Planet Blue Planet and more will all be gone from Netflix come early December on the bright side you still have a few weeks to work your way through them and if I can make a recommendation you might want to start with Blue Planet 2 James honey Bourne is the creator and executive producer of that series he and producer Dorothy sifted through thousands of hours of footage to make this striking immersive project that s actually kind of fun and super watchable Here s how they did. We came up with a dream of to back in 21st scene and taken a full 4 years to make inal I think we undertook some 125 expeditions to such in our countries and we spent some stick 6000 hours on the walls and a found in the deep ocean. But that s the level of commitment that you have to go to if you re going to try and do something with breadth of the original blue kind of series. Some of the stories the Blue Planet 2 team captured were incredible For example I mean you think and I I definitely thought that bird. Birds attacked fish that s just kind of how nature works apparently not always the case here s James honey Bourne talking about the giant tree Valley a fish that attacked birds we heard rumors or a fisherman s tale literally of the fact these fish would leaping out of the water to grab sea birds in mid air and there was no documented evidence of this no photographs no detailed descriptions of it anywhere so we realized this really was a new piece of behavior and that we went to the middle of the Indian Ocean and then we discovered that on the horizon occasionally there was a splash as the fish was leaping out of the water and to talking the birds. And then of course you think well gosh now we know it s happening great but how on earth we have going to film it because it appears totally random in the end we discovered it was actually best done by following hungry looking fish and if we could get on a sand bar on the edge of the sea and just look down a bit more we could follow fish that were actively hunting and that was the way we managed to get the shots in there. It s so important that we not only show a spectacle that might be happening in the distance from the camera but that you feel in the subject that you feel part of the story but but you need to film it from every angle and a lot of those angles are at water level or you know the fish s eye Lionel with the but it s to build up a complete portrait of what is going on and you know to represent nature as as accurately as we can we ve built something called the probe scope which is a tiny lens you maybe have a centimeter across which will be very close to a small animal to create an image of a you know a big creature but it s perspective and so we re seeing the view on the animal s eye line in. 2 to help us have empathy for the animal in the problems it faces. So I think it s one of the things which has changed. I think in the past it was look at those curious animals. And now very much it s come with us and world and it s more engaging more transient film but perhaps more exciting to watch. Her. One of the most immersive episodes on Blue Planet 2 is the episode called The Deep Blue Planet team traveled to the depths of the ocean in Antarctica and are the 1st people to ever see and film Life on the seabed Here s a Dorothy producer of The Blue Planet 2 deep ocean episode. Scientists have in Antarctica and and they ve some robots down through there to get a bit of a sense of what might be down there but it s a very different thing to actually go down there in a submarine down 2000 meters you know over 3000 feet and to really discover what life looks like down there and just to discover how much life is down there this cockpit of life this extraordinary. To me you know I ve spent a long time a large chunk of my life diving on. Full of life of fish darting around in packs. Found very much like that in this frozen ocean at the bottom of the line. To capture this deep ocean landscape the blue planet had to use submersibles and as Dorothy explains the not that big inside. It s cozy you know you go to get the people that you like because you re going to be in there for 789. Even 10 hour days and you know you re close and you know the pilots knees old most in our kidneys you know this is this coast is this is cozy. So the Blue Planet 2 team are down of the deep ocean they re filming from this for 789 hours at a time I know you re thinking you. Go to the next and suddenly you get a tank Nicky you can have. As close as we go as a smooth demon is up one is not something I ever really wanted to do Alice is really unfortunate for me because I d need an awful lot of coffee in the morning to get me going which meant I just had to get up 3 hours ahead of getting into the subway so I could get the coffee in but then I could also get the coffee and it s before that I started. When we went on our very 1st dive and we were we were on our way down and and we got about 450 meters and the thing is in Antarctica the water is hyper call and cold water can shrink things slightly and one little valve had not sail properly and we didn t know that this is what hadn t sail properly all we knew was that there was beginning to see into the bottom of the submersible and you know that s just not your ideal situation when you a good 45 minutes from the. What was going to my head is we are now at 45 times the pressure that you re acts on the face and if that pressure gets a grip on whatever this tiny seep is if that rupture is well it s you know it s game over there s no you don t you can t get out of that and so it is that the urgency will. Find where the water is coming from. The minute we found where it was coming from we could all relax Ralph the pilot said that is completely I can just isolate that off and then he gave us a choice he said. Now was that you want to go back to the surface is that it for the day he and I said no we re down here you handle the problem let s carry on we got watched. The film almost made it sound I make it sound like you know this really nice editing all the rushes hands of sweat and sweat and skill that goes into that box and what I m what I m saying is the deep ocean gave us so much because we were so constantly finding ourselves in territory that had never been in before in front of scenes that nobody had ever seen before and we were just so I just found it we were constantly being given these incredible gifts from these magical. We had a we had a story had a constantly unfolding story because of what we capture. So getting the visuals for blue planet to you is one thing when you watch the show the sounds what you hear are all part of the experience here s Blue Planet 2 executive producer James honey and. Sound it is part of the language of film and it s a really important element of the action is often overlooked element of the action I didn t really appreciate for example the dawn chorus that happens every morning on a coral reef when the fish start singing. And it s hard for us to herit because we re hearing the sound going on the reef you have the cracks and pops and grunts of other things and they can obscure sometimes it s amazing dawn chorus but it s when you when you filter out these other lies when he chews. Right frequency that s when you hear the amazing songs that many of these fish produce and we have a hydra directional microphone that can literally tell you which fish is making which song. And the sound helps convey the full atmosphere what it s like to be and also sometimes the the intelligence and the communication so when we put a small pressurized housing on to the back of a so we could dive down into the abyss with a mother and it s calm we also recorded the sound of the chatter between them and they appear to be talking in their click language. And then. Go any deeper. And then she stops communicating and she starts echolocate and she s now checking rather like a bat would do to find that night but she s clicking for the giant squid and you can hear that click and then it suddenly speeds up and intensifies as she finds her target. And then she goes silent. 2 2 like everything we do we want to be totally true sometimes if you re filming a fish splashing away on a long lens then you re going to have to add the special features just to make sense of the image but wherever possible we use natural sounds and we as I say have hydrophones in all sorts of locations too to make sure we capture the true sounds and we represent the best we can. I was really really hopeful that we could we could sound from the. You know I had. If you re in a submarine then you ve got a constant background noise is impossible to gather the. Sounds as if we were in a submarine but then but then I was talking to other to some amazing scientists who were they wanted to record the sound at the very bottom of the ocean at the deepest point on Earth in the Mariana Trench and I felt fantastic this is amazing I m going to get sound from the bottom of the ocean how cool is this Fast forward about 2 years they ve mentioned the recordings back and I said Well well we send it to me can t wait to hear and they said no no no we re not even going to and I said why he said because the soundtrack is just absolutely felt that the noise of shipping traffic at the surface of the ocean doing for oil probably hundreds if not 1000 miles away said the ocean noise that the ocean is so full of noise and it s cascading old boy down to the very bought into the very deepest part of the ocean and this is a very sobering moment in once again demonstrating how we are impacting parts of the ocean we can t even get there ourselves and yet we re still managing to have an impact on and. 2 of course you know it s structural television but it s also entertaining t.v. And that should be you know we want people to tune in and a skate to this amazing world and learn new things and in fact it was true star who said that if you want to protect something 1st you have to let people care and that s really what these t.v. Shows do you know they let you in and it s through that the entertainment of watching at the pleasure of watching it but you begin to get pretty see that the sea creatures in these worlds beneath the waves are much closer to our own than perhaps we previously thought.

Opera dot org. Listening to q. On c.b.c. Radio one Sirius and Sam 160 9 am from p.r.i. Oh that s Public Radio International I m. The person sitting across from me right now is one of the many actors who s made the tough decision to leave home behind for work and how long has it been since he moved from Vancouver to l.a. . Going to say 10 years too long and that s a long time jacket is there a thing you got to do when you come back to Canada is there like a you know I. Should be thinking yeah I m in the Pacific Northwest so I have to go out nature buy a fleece Yeah you know how you. Get on an island I don t mind playing some bloods you know that s so beautiful and if I were given me come home and just you know go to a bar. I should add that along with being an actor in films like the new zombie land movie that s out now. Is a musician a poet he draws he writes to and he s kind of combined a bit of all that into his latest project it s a book called Mixed feelings it s a pretty personal exploration of identity and what it means to be a mixed race person and how that affects everything from how you see yourself to how others see you as a nice to have you here you know thank you so. Quite well that s a nice summary of the book I think we re not that we get and thank you very much. In your book you write about what it s like to feel like an outsider as some and of mixed heritage do you remember the 1st time you felt like that. I mean I think it was more me and not to be unfair sue our American friends but I think I felt it more when I went to the states and you and 2 fold because 1st of all America is a an incredibly polarized rate racial place. And also you re being applied to not see that we don t have our own problems up here we have. We re being applied to the film industry and this is a place that is naturally a. It s asking you to define yourself for their convenience or you have to be cast as a yes some ethnicity right they don t really care they just need to know right they need to be discreetly defined so they know when the pick up the phone oh the who my looking for I m looking for an Indian guy all Avon s an Indian guy I can pick up a phone call him right and that that s an easier and more convenient way of defining me then that would be to say the more complicated answer which is I m. A mixed English Irish Indian kid who s Indian family was born in East Africa who s you know you know immigrated whose English descended Nangle far you know and so it s a it s a more complicated set of circumstances and it s much easier to truncate that into our reason you write write and you show that happened in the film and so the 1st time I really felt I was probably working in the film industry so I think one of the more powerful moments when I was reading the book was the moments where you describe people saying racist things about Indian folks too in front of yes. Bill not knowing not not not knowing I mean is that does that happen often that s happened absolutely or or because I m Indian light in their eyes you know how that s how I would they define it that s not how I define it but that s how they define it they don t see that I would have a problem do you think that s allowed you to see what others may know. Oh absolutely it s I think most makes kids live in this in between him. And habit multiple spaces and see different people and how they interact comfortably or relatively comfortably in their own groups and so you get to see Indian people in groups say stuff about white folk that you would never hear anyone say or you get see white folk in groups say stuff about Indian folk you would never get to hear if you were an Indian person and it s an interesting I don t know I don t always say the thing that they re saying is a negative thing it could be a positive thing they just probably wouldn t say that if they knew if they knew anyone else was or anyone other than their own race was around so when did you realize that these these feelings were something that you wanted to put into a book. Well you know I ve I ve always written poetry I love poetry as a medium it s I think the most direct way of expressing self. And. And you know what I do when I try to think of I think of a an idea or a concept always I want to talk about mixing if that s what I want to talk about and I try to figure out of all the mediums available to me how do I deliver the message as potently And as you know as as personally as possible and so when it came to my race and it came to my own identity it felt right to write poetry rather than like make a screenplay about a character who s mixed and if like you and I do that this is a direct this is a direct and direct we re directly speaking about well let s let s get to the let s get to something here I want to hear something from the from the book to speak about some of those direct feelings and what it would be going to read I don t know I don t know yet what he was really. Since we talked about America a little bit maybe this is the one to dream it s called American sweethearts. Dollar discount David Duke is dancing with a dark skin darling named Diana as they rock back and forth to a trap arrangement of America the free they are America and they re repulsed by each other yet all they can do is dance holding each other in this emptying bar on Rome s last day America s cancelled. Just turning us into Q. I guess he s an actor and writer his new book mixed feelings is everywhere now starring in zombie land double tap which is in theaters now we just heard a poem from the book his his new book a new collection called Mixed feelings you folks ever talk to you about what it might mean to be mixed race and understand it might be actually hard for them to know yeah they wouldn t I don t think they d. Know I think most mixed couples. Maybe just act like it s not to think because that s what they were used to doing and I think there s a lot of that careful organization of their own feelings on it so that when you come to a person a person who is born of that love or for that relationship yeah I don t know how you inform them about how to handle that they would know right now and it s you know and again it s you re constantly turning up and turning down your racial identity all of us are you know even even like off New Finland you go home you re you re completely completely or completely different person than you would be as you project to me so I think I think that s the thing that would take away the most interesting thing is that it makes people s ability to sort of like hyper relate to different groups of people because we re constantly doing that moving our dials up and well it makes me think then that you know as much as this book is easier own I m sure an expression of your own feelings you know also hoping that other mixed as you put it mixed race kids would read this and sort of see themselves I can t help but notice that or think that your folks I seem to still with your folks would read this perhaps learn something oh yeah I know how to talk to you about how they read it absolutely yeah they have read it and I mean they read it because I had asked if I could tell some of these stories because of the very deeply personal stories about my family and about. The acceptance of my family you know sometimes of my grandparents of their relationship acceptance of. You know just the world in general about who they were and their love for each other and I think that I think there is I mean I think what they probably learned about me is that it s actually I don t think they realize it was as complicated the thing that they were delivering me into Yeah I buy my you know my birth fired by being fairly by your existence I don t think that you know I don t because you don t live like that right like when you have a kid you try not to think about all the various ways that their life to be difficult you know. But but you know. Honestly it s I think being mixed is less about this book is less about talking about obviously we go through some of the hardships of the difficult things about the next part think what I would like to mostly promoting in this book is Is the advantages and the joy and the. I would say. Outlook that it gives you the vantage point it s a different vantage point and it s a good one and by and to give that positive good vantage point that you re talking about I love that you didn t just rely on your own story you wanted to solicit stories from others why was that important Well I think because. I 1st started writing just about my own experience and it went quite badly. I was just like well this is sort of like reductive sort of like you know it s hard to be you know whatever that means so I guess what I want to go about doing with this book is to explore if there is a mixed culture that is that is. That knows no actual racial background so like a Korean. Guy and and guy and me we can see eye to eye or you know an Icelandic Filipino guy yeah and me can see I we actually have the the similarities in the experience so if there is shared experience that means that that s the basis in foundation of a culture so all mixed kids everywhere regardless of the racial background share the things that we talk about I talk about in this book and the other people that you did land or you were and you were in exploration and you were in the search for whether that was the case you did you did land I think I would land I well I landed on that. It is we have these sort of like hyper high for hype and like you know like kind of like multiple ethnic background individuals throughout time has always been this is the battleground of melding and healing you know the children of. The 2 cultures that were warring you know they lived in the same region and they ward and they and they you know terrible things terrible history the children of what created the unification So I think that s what we ve always been on the battleground of Milton that that s a beautiful yeah. Yeah I mean I ve never considered never considered that of course but with my own experience I would necessarily have done then the 3 of course enjoyed about reading the book. Did you find a common thread in the stories you were hearing from your own not enough for this too much for that that s the most that s like the baseline of every mixed kids experience you know and to I m not brown enough for this culture and I m too white for this culture or whatever it is a bit over the mix up and it s you know and it goes down to some of the old hat. Things I also realize that a lot of stuff a little racism obviously is a huge it is to some a graces I m is obviously. A massive part of our makeup as the humanity but colors and is mostly is I would say the leading thing I mean it s it s every country in the world. Experiences it and is in pain because of it it s it s really it s really horrible but I m interested in what you get from this like I was just on your Instagram it s always a dangerous thing to say to somebody in an interview but I have. A lot of photos of me in big coats and crazy glasses walking around and posing you know there are a lot of photos of you in Big Love coats you know and it s a good time of year for you and you started snowing up at all because you must hate August you know. I live in l.a. I think we re the worst so I got a move that if I had an Ok Cupid profile they just say enjoys layers you know much like you just give me layers if you want this to go well layer me out layer me up but you know seriousness you posted a line from your poems on Instagram This is because it was dangerous to be Brown after 2000 people to share their experience of being mixed mixed race in a post 911 world and this we can talk about the comment that you got which I think people can read or whatever but I m just wondering about you and I agree you heartened to see some of those comments did you get something from them oh yeah I mean that s that s I mean that s the great thing about this whole experience with the book and going on tour and even the writing of the book the whole thing has been. A stepping stone for conversation and that s all of ever wanted because again I think being mixed your you can feel very alone because you re like oh I m the only Indian Irish guy in the world and I can t meet anyone who s gone through my experiences and I can t I can t relate so if you make that you if you make the requirements for that conversation a little bit more general just like what does make people that s the conversation that I would like to start is the experiences that you know that. That are actually so relatable for all of us you know people the 1st paragraph of your book says quote mixed feelings started like a storm a swirling of ideas that began to take shape the eye of which was always unseeable to me I was a bit scary reading someone s work in front of him by the way it was very good thank you very much also very odd to hear someone else remark it s only it s always me reading it so that s weird for me. It was a collective that we d experience if you want your code to follow you around and. Take you on tour and that s going to be great but I want to read I ll just sit there silently while you read it I don t think great really wonderful I was we were in this gigantic mink coat and that s right I can handle it but seriously do you see things differently now compared to when you started the book yes. I would say that. The evolution the feeling of loneliness and feeling like I was the only person had these experiences I don t know how to communicate this to anyone else and I don t know if anyone would listen or hear our relate and now I feel a part of a large community of people who have throughout time been at the forefront of melding of cultures and healing so I feel part of something much bigger and you know I think a lot of people are going to feel that way. As my guest his new book mixed feelings that are inaccurate elations on it thank you very much and you can also see him in zombie land double tap that is it for Q Today tomorrow on the show our Thursday headliner will be here Alexandria mio Alexandria is an artist who we got to hear at a show one time she gave us a record we listened to we put it on the air and you wrote an overwhelmingly talking about how great she was you started booking her for shows she started going to a concert so I m finally excited to say that Alexandria in my opinion one of the finest up and coming songwriters in this country will be live on the show as our Thursday headliner we will see you then later on.
