A month after Conservative Party members elected her as their new leader Britain's prime minister Liz truss might have expected to be doing a lap of honor at the party's annual conference, which has just begun in Birmingham. Instead, she is having to defend herself against open criticism from some of her own MPs. After markets reacted badly to the economic policies which are finance minister, the Chancellor quasi quantang unveiled 9 days ago. Those involved big tax cuts, including for the highest earners, coupled with large scale borrowing to help families with rising energy bills. The ensuing market turmoil, which saw mortgage rates rise and pensions put at risk has helped to give the opposition Labor Party leads of more than 20 points in several opinion polls. In an interview today with the BBC's Laura Kuhn's Liz truss, defended her economic approach, but conceded she could have done a better job of preparing the markets for what was coming. I do stand by the package we announced and I stand by the fact that we announced it quickly because we had to act by do accept. We should have laid the ground better. I do accept that. You accept you and I have learned from that. I have learned from that, and I will make sure that in future we do a better job of laying the ground. But some of her MPs, including the former cabinet minister Michael gove, believed the problem goes beyond presentation that the substance and implications of what was called a fiscal event had not been thought through. This is what he told Laura kunsberg. There is an inadequate realization at the top of government of the scale of change required. So yes, the energy package was the most important thing in the fiscal event. But broadly, 35% of the additional money that we're borrowing is not to cut energy costs. It is for unfunded tax cuts. And yu San concerned about that. You profoundly concerned. Yes. Henry hill is deputy editor of the conservative home website, and he's at the party conference. So, what kind of conference have first his party leader can list trust expect? Well, really, this is her big chance to try and rest back control of the political narrative, which the government has comprehensively lost control of in the last week. The Chancellor quarantine presented his so called mini budget, which contained a lot of measures which surprised a lot of conservative MPs. It was an absolute 90° right turn on economic policy in the back end of a parliament. There was then a very bad market reaction to that. And that seems to have shaken the public's faith in the conservatives as the party of sound economic management. And there has never been as conservative election victory in which the public didn't think they were the best parties who run the economy. So she's a real risk here, both her keynote speech and the Chancellor's keynote speech are the big opportunities to get back in control of the narrative. Many are saying that once you lose that reputation for being the party of economic responsibilities extremely hard to get that back, can she do it in one speech? I mean, she can't do it in one speech. I think what she can do with her speech is potentially staunch the bleeding. She needs to win a hearing from her backbench MPs and party activists. And if she can do that, then she has an opportunity if she can stabilize things. She has October. She has another set of treasury announcements in November. And she can buy herself a couple of months. She might be able to at least persuade conservative MPs who are worried about her proposals to give them a fair hearing. And that will give her an opportunity to persuade the country, but if she can't persuade her party, she will simply have no opportunity to bring forward her programs. She won't have an opportunity to make that case to voters until spend the two years she has left in office firefighting. We know she's got a lot of opposition because senior conservative MPs such as former government minister Michael gove are saying in public, look, this is simply not conservative. The economic policy that you have sat down at that presents a challenge of authority as well as anything else, doesn't it? It absolutely does. I think this is one of the things that's been so baffling about what Liz truss is trying to do is that what she's trying to is already very difficult. We're more than halfway through this parliament. The pandemic used up an awful lot of government time and money. It's very difficult to argue the conservatives have as yet really delivered on that manifesto of 2019 that secured that huge majority. And Liz tran is proposing in many areas of policy to completely change course. Now normally, to do that, you would call an early election and you would win your own mandate so that Tory MPs had been returned promising to do what you wanted. She can't do that because the polls are really bad. And as a result, what she's found is this prime minister who didn't even win the first round of the conservative leadership contest he was not backed by a majority of her colleagues to even be prime minister, is now trying to persuade all of these MPs to back this quite radical program and they're looking at the polls, they're looking at what their own constituents want, and they're just saying, no, thank you. What about party members? Your website does regular polls and she's tends to come up very high if not topping them has the past couple of weeks dented her popularity amongst those who only a few weeks ago voted her in as party leader. Today, in fact, this morning we published our latest conservative home's latest cabinet league table and Liz truss was somewhere in the middle, which is an extraordinary opening position for prime ministers. I think both Boris Johnson and Theresa May opened up in the 90% plus positive approval ratings in their first month

"Is weekend edition from NPR News. I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro. Good morning. This pandemic has warped the economy. But mass layoffs at the beginning led to a boom in entrepreneurship in black communities across the country's startups are sprouting. Sensory. Douglas, for example, started a cleaning and organizing business in Minneapolis. I have been working for a bank for over five years, and there was the clove it my hours have been cut and E almost single mother and it's hard. I have four Children photo, you know, so I will stay since I have a joint clean. Why not started cleaning business and help others as well as about myself, and I just feel so much pride in and and I feel amazing. My name is committed for and I come in the living large in Virginia. I moved to the state about 10 years ago from Ghana with my mom and my two brothers and then man, Dad was with me, but he passed away off of it. Mind that personal we was a wake up called. I have to do something. So I created the telemedicine up that connects patients and Dr together. My dad will be proud of me for lunch in this business. I just want to try to put as much happiness into this cold, dark world that I can. My name is Jack Quinn Maddox and I am in Denver, Colorado. I am an event planner for weddings, social and corporate events. I was planning for the future, trying to build generational well from my daughter and my three grandsons. And as a black woman. I feel like I'm a part of history. A movement that has not happened in the history of this country. Joining us now from New Orleans is Andre Perry. He's a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Welcome to the program. Hey, thanks for having me. What is driving this surgeon entrepreneurship in black communities across the country well on his face, black people are driving entrepreneurialism. The lack of businesses in the black community really reflects Lack of investment, and so we see a lot of stimulus funds going into communities not necessarily tied to uplifting entrepreneurialism. But black people are taking advantage of this opportunity. So it is someone taking lemons and making lemonade. But there's always been an entrepreneurial spirit in the black community. I think what I also hear you saying is that people turned entrepreneurial out of necessity because the job market during this pandemic really hurt the black community more. I mean, they lost jobs, and they had to find something else to do. Yes. Remember when people started to talk about how we're recovering so well and they used an unemployment rate a in the aggregate and they said, Hey, look, we're at 8% and things are improving. But when you looked at the black unemployment rate, it was going in the wrong direction. Let's be clear. Black people are also dying at 2 to 3 times the rate as their white counterparts and so we need services. We need things in the hood that will help alleviate the pain and suffering in our communities. And so we're starting businesses in healthcare. We're starting transportation services. We're meeting the needs. When the overall labor market has denied us are those the kinds of businesses that people are opening businesses that actually sort of our catering tol vacuums created by the pandemic, the number one business sector for black Americans in terms of starting firms is in health care. Home health firms, nursing assistants and other health professionals contact tracers to folks working on vaccine distribution. Most of the entrepreneurial activity was in health care. The National Bureau of Economic Research found that a lot of this is happening in middle income black neighborhoods. Why is that significant? Remember, most people start companies using the equity in their homes? That's also the reason why homeownership is so important. It's also the reason why the value of our homes must be at market rates. And so because there's more wealth and middle income neighborhoods they're converting that wealth. Into firms. I mean, the desire to build generational wealth was a big motivator for the entrepreneurs we spoke with, and in reality, I would like to ask you Will these startups the lead toe long term wealth when we are looking at people catering to what eventually is something that's going to not be there, which is the pandemic. Well, the growth and entrepreneurialism shouldn't be result of happenstance. We need to invest in black businesses. Beyond this pandemic alive. The relief fund. A lot of the recovery funds are going to be one time. Shots of cash in the systems. And so it's incumbent upon the federal government corporations with all this talk of black lives matter and the racial uprising that they start to invest in black businesses for the long term, and that means the economy expands. There's more revenue, there's more productivity. The entire country improves is a result. A century has passed since the Tulsa race massacre and listening to you talk about black entrepreneurship. I mean, we must remember that that destroyed so many lives and livelihood. The area was called Black Wall Street that was raised after all, now that we see black communities, seizing new opportunities for capital and business. Do you think this moment could be a turning point? And what should we learn from this? I think it is a turning point because one of the lessons of this pandemic is that when our neighbors are sick, we are them vulnerable. And that is true. Economically. Aziz. Well, we talk about memorialized Black Wall Street, the Greenwood district in Tulsa because of the anniversary, But there was a Tulsa in cities all across the country, and let's be clear. In the beginning of the pandemic. When the cares act rolled out in the payroll protection program rolled out, many black businesses could not participate in because it did not allow for sole proprietorships to participate, and 95% of black businesses are sold proprietorships compared to 78%. White front and so we gotta remove those drags of racism. We must be vigilant and make sure that there's not these deliberate attempts to throttle our growth. That's Andre Perry, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me..

Why Black Entrepreneurship Surged During the Pandemic
"Is of course the one year anniversary of the murder of floyd in a year of protests and reckoning there have been signs of hope even during a pandemic that hit black americans particularly hard and closed many black owned businesses new data suggests that people in black communities started new businesses over the last year in cities like new york and atlanta the study from the national bureau of economic research says. Black americans were more likely than white americans to take steps toward entrepreneurship. during the pandemic marketplace's euler has more on. Why so the study found that. After a relief package is passed last year. There was a big surge in registered business formations in the following weeks. Catherine facia teaches business at boston university and helped write the study. She says that's despite the cares. Act not directly infusing. Any money into new businesses are passed not to pat is a lot of start up formation so it was very interesting for us to see that cares out had that ripple of fat another reason for the surgeon. Black entrepreneurship could be the americans. Now have a better understanding of historic inequality or he goes. Mom is an assistant professor of management at columbia university and a co author of the study.

"This'd evening party county conditions will continue and into the weekend and partly sunny conditions in land Slight chance of rain along the coast overnight on Friday. This is all things considered from NPR news. I'm Mary Louise Kelly. And I'm Elsa Chang. Can you imagine being at a college that's missing out on as much as half a billion dollars. Well. Tennessee State University, the only public historically black college and university in the state of Tennessee, doesn't have to imagine this from 1957 to 2007. Tennessee State University was underfunded year after year as the Tennessee State Legislature failed to allocate funds to the school as it's required to do so under a state law. And Tennessee State isn't the only hbcu missing out on state funds to talk about all of this more. We're joined now by Andre Perry. He's a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Welcome. Hey, Thanks for having me. Thanks for being with us. I mean, Tennessee, you know, it's not the only state that owes money to hbc use as we just mentioned. Can you just give us a general sense of how pervasive this underfunding is? Of HBC years. Well since the 50 since Brown the board, the federal government ordered, um states to desegregate their schools, and most people just think that occurred in that cave 12 Arena. But it also occurred for a higher education institutions and by the way most HBC use are in southern states. And so there's just been a reticent to desegregate. Higher ed based on funding, and so many of these states created funding formulas that regularly to shortchange HBC youth, and we should assume that it's race because in many of the other institution for Donnelly, white institutions are receiving their full funding and have the former dean At university. I can tell you when it comes to making sure you pay what is owed college university presidents make sure that and what are some of the academic consequences that you see when an hbcu Doesn't get enough state funds well, when any university doesn't have adequate funds, they're not able to produce the kind of high costs programs. Um, that might be in demand. And so I'll just give an example engineering to run an engineering school. It costs a lot of money. And so if you're coming up short, That's what you're not gonna have an engineering program or it's gonna be theoretical in nature, and you won't have the equipment you won't have. The facilities to have people get the best of that degree. In addition, you're not able to innovate, but but what you're seeing in HBC youth. It's not just that they're not able to innovate or add certain degree programs. Our facilities are deteriorating. They're not able to keep up with the competition. And so this this leads to a lowering of standards and Eventually students won't want to go. Now there are some people out there who understand the underfunding of HBC use as a problem with alumni giving alums can be blamed for a school's financial problems. So Curious. What do you make of that line of thinking? When people say this is a problem of people giving, and by the way, black people in terms of the percentage of their overall income give more than any other group, But what they're really saying is we're going to blame black people. For the lack of funding in black institutions abdicating the state's responsibility to do so. That's all that it's saying. We need to expose this lack of funding. Aziz really theft at a scale? That is unprecedented when you're talking about half a billion dollars in Tennessee for one institution, Yeah. I mean, this is theft at a scale. In an air, economical that's astronomical. And and by the way, this is what fuels the economy, highly educated workforce. And so if we're denying black students, black institutions with throttling the economy, so that's why this is this horrible. Um, these findings And we should go deeper. We should do an investigation at every state for every hbcu and we should assume that they are being robbed. Andre Perry is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Woods. 10 left to shoot 2 48 left in the game. Mason Madsen has it outside the art looking for an open teammate. Now, Davenport down low for vote gets up a lefty hooked and stores. I mean, there was pushing, it goes, takes a time out. On that deep entry pass. They were looking around, and nobody was going to take that shot. They were looking for Chris Boat to his credit. He was wide. He was working wherever the ball was. He was shoulder. Square to the past. 63 55, Cincinnati, two minutes and 39 seconds to go John Grant and called the Time out Bear Cats have one left. Temple has two left. If we have a tie up possession arrow favor Cincinnati with America. It's on top by eight and they're in the bonuses. Well, so This team that's in there right now. They all know their role. You've got a bunch of spot up shooters. But now Zac Harvey's in Zach is your God that will break the zone down. Even if it's a man, the man he will attack. Yes, he will shoot that rainbow floating, but he will attack the basket, and Chris can get several dunks with this lineup because they'll be focusing on the driving conditions. That Barry is hot. He's made his last three threes for temple and scored 13 of their last 15 points. Gotta think will be looking to get him a three if they can. Williams dribbled the ball up the floor. Zack Harvey is defending Brendan Barry. Down to 32 Go. Cincinnati up by eight. Here's a cross court pass caught by Terry Not berry and have Andre Perry hits a three from the corner. Oh, you're starting to see strategy. This is where coaches earned their money because a play out of time out. And it works to perfection. Then he calls another time out on his side. Now typical the time out and let's see what Brandon goes now. It's like a chess match, man. Cincinnati's leaders five. Two minutes and 24 seconds left. Zack Harvey, Mike Adams. Woods is great defense. They've been playing all game long. Neither has recorded a foul. Today. Adams Woods with 12 points, looking more like that in the woods of last year, when you saw him create played great defense and be silent with the bowl. Apple five for 11 from outside the arc here in the second half, just under 50%. No Keith Williams if he can close this game out As he looked at keep Williams Coast Brandon and gave the one finger as if You know, I'm gonna get you back in in the second. But if he closes this game out without Keith, it's a message that he's sending. You cannot have this type of attitude going into a game to hurt your team. Temple goes for a full court press. Mike Adams, who can run the baseline, he passes information. Madison double teamed in the backcourt. Madsen dribbling passes it for the Julius Guns and head cut by Adams would three onto brake temple races to catch up on now Cincinnati will work clock. With 2 11 to go. 17 left to shoot Cincinnati up by five. Julius has it near the top of the key, taller Dev. Andre Perry defends Julius goes by him on the dribble, Missed the finger roll but got Drew a foul. He'll go to the line to shoot two is Dave Andre Perry picked up his second foul. You'd like to see more of that where you see the screen coming, the defender peaks over to see the screen. And you quit left the right cross over used that body to shield them and put it up off the glass. Julius has two foul shots coming. He's only scored four points.

"Left in the half Forrester at the line for a couple of foul shots. He is two for two so far tonight. Started his college career playing for the Indiana Hoosiers, and his free throw is no good, Dan. I think thinking on that is they gotta give Mama do a little bit of a rest because you know he's coming back from being out with Colbert so he needs a quick blow. And then if they could get a minute out of Chris Boat without fouling, they can put mama doing for the rest of the half and take Chris out. Second foul shot Good. That's seven first half points for Forrester, Cincinnati's leaders 4 26 2 22. Temple goes to a half court trap Bear cat Solve it. Now Temple backs up into it. Man to man defense. Here's vote just outside the arc, hands it off top of the key for the Julius Julius to the wing and Micah Adam's Woods has a foot out of bounds as he catches the pass, catch the ball and shooting. I mean, it's very simple Things is like the third time. This has happened in the last couple of games where guys on the side of the court and steps out of bounds. This vote out as you anticipated. Mamadou Diarra checks in Mamadou Looks like he lost some weight. It was already skinny. Yeah, he looks really skinning out some Eminem's and watching bank off his ribs. Temples fall down by four battle outside the are guarded by Mike Adams Woods. Good defense by the bear Can I swore he knocks the ball away. We've gotta scramble on the floor. And Cincinnati comes up on the loose ball. It's a two on one break. Davenport to Harvey. No Foul shot is blocked out of bounds by Divx. Andre Perry. Are you serious? I mean, he puts it up and get smacked to the ground, and the official just points to the sideline and saying No, no call Zack Harvey came down hard. The back of his head slammed into the floor. No whistle. Harvey will throw it in from the baseline 307 left and a half since in any leads by four. Lobs it into Mamadou Diarra. The right elbow passes backward for Mike Adams Woods. Now it's David Lee Julius on the Sea Paul logo 15 left to shoot 2 55 left in the half. Julius passes for Davenport into the corner. Mike Adams Woods. Or three, and it's good, pretty simple. Instead of trying to catch it and attack baseline where their options are limited. Catch it and shoot cats are up by seven for the first time in the first half 29 to 22 Jeremiah Williams in the lane just below the free throw line gets up a shot. No good. Rebound hits the floor diving attempt by starting out of bounds and it goes out of bounds off temple. Tremendous hustle. There was going to say if they get at the temple. He was already out of bounds when he threw that ball. But to dive on the floor. To really try to sell yourself out. To get that ball to get extra possession for your team is what bear cat basketball is all about. I said Harvey, that was actually Jeremiah Davenport with that tremendous effort. Try to get that loose ball. Cincinnati's ball 29 22 the bear Cats up by 7 2.5 minutes left in the first half Julius Outside the arc passes to Davenport, looking down low for Mamadou instead passes on the right wing for Adam's Woods Julius of the left point. Unsurpassed for Harvey steps into a three and the rainbow is good. He's been putting in the work. Yes, he's been out, but he has not been idle. He's been putting in took the time and you started to see the payoff that double digit Lee for Cincinnati, 32 to 20 to eight off the bench in the first half for Zack Harvey. Forrester. Guarded by Mamadou Diarra and illegal story, Barry three point shot. He missed it. Julius has the rebound Cincinnati running every time they grab a rebound. Here's Gavin toward passing for Adam's woods outside the arc right back to center court. Julius 1 35 left in the half 16 left on the shot clock for you See Julius dribbling out near center court on the far sideline. The R sprints out to set a pick Now it's Davenport, Allie. You caught into the basket by Diarra briefly lost it. And then the ball goes out of bounds off. Mamadou can't drop the baby. Come on.

Among the executive orders he's signed since arriving in the Oval Office for are aimed at advancing racial equity and tribal sovereignty. Earlier this week, we spoke with the Brookings Institution's Andre Perry about one of those initiatives. Tackling discriminatory federal housing policies. I do think this is a start. You have to start somewhere you start with HUD and hopefully mo mentum from the public. Can encourage these other areas to make change. We called on three experts to address the other pillars of the Biden plan, reaffirming tribal sovereignty, ending the federal government's use of private prisons and condemning discrimination, bias and hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Ethel Branches. A former attorney general for the Navajo Nation. Paul Butler, is a former prosecutor and author and professor at Georgetown Law and from Citizen University and the Aspen Institute. Eric Liu. I started off by asking. Will these executive orders make a difference? Ethel Branch spoke first. Absolutely. It sends a strong message. Using the language of equity is very hopeful. It's a needed reaffirm INTs to Indian country that this administration's engagement with Indian nations will be very different from the last administration and also signals that some of the things that were under way under the Obama administration will be put back into place. But I think this is just a start. If President Biden really wants to reaffirm tribal sovereignty we need to start talking about Lifting the federal chains essentially that restrict tries from controlling their territory and governing with respect to their people. And Eric Liu, you have written about the experience of Chinese American families. I wonder what you make of this order fighting xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. I think President Trump created a frame of permission. That it was okay to be casually racist toward Asian Americans and people of Asian descent. And, as with so much of President Trump's racism he could say, at least on the surface, plausibly. Oh, I didn't mean that that's not meant to be that you're being too sensitive. But I think anybody of actual Asian descent could feel the vibe of disrespect and menace and the form of disrespect comes in this way in particular. Which is You look Asian. I don't really care whether you're Asian, American or Asian from Asia. I'm going to see you as a threat. I'm going to see you as a problem. I'm going to see his escape goat. President Biden simply by changing the tone simply by refusing to speak in that way, makes a big difference. I want to turn to the other executive order ending the federal government's use of private prisons. Paul Butler, your professor, of course at Georgetown Law, You're a former prosecutor that you've been critical of the criminal justice system. Many aspects of it. What are your thoughts on that executive order and its effectiveness? I didn't roll back some of President Trump administration's most egregious policies like abolishing Trump 17 76 Commission, which tried to get schools to teach American history. Discounting the role of white supremacy. President Obama had banned federal private prisons. Trump reinstated them. And now Biden has re banned them. It's a decent but limited start. For example, Biden's executive order does not immediately close one prison. It says that when a contract with a private prison comes up, it should not be renewed. And it only applies to prisons not to immigration detention centers. The bigger problem is mass incarceration, and Biden's executive order doesn't make a dent in that. Only about 10% of all inmates are housed in federal prisons. Not one of those gets to go home. We've heard a lot about tone about undoing things that the Trump administration has done. About sort of reframing in each of these cases, but what needs to happen next? You talk about the president as POTUS. But there is another POTUS that's at play here, and that's the people of the United States. The great responsibility is on us. We the people us as citizens to take responsibility where we live in our own communities in our own institutions. For starting the same conversations naming these same ills, reading the map of power and decoding. How are we going to hold up our corner? How we're going to do our part to unwind these challenges and problems? This is Paul. I would push back from that orbit. The New York Times described the movement for Black lives is the most successful social justice movement in the history of this country. There was one day this past summer where there were demonstrations and 550 different cities. Citizens have been demanding change, so we've been on the case. And now that we have a sympathetic person in the Oval Office, I think it's time for us to demand that that person act. So I say every week US racial justice advocates should be asking the White House But what have you done for us lately? What have you done for us this week? If fighting does want to make the biggest bull transformative moves to advance racial equity and his equity in this country, Um, for all American citizens, I think we really need to be talking about moving from that civil rights framework to human rights framework. Everybody should be able to eat three meals a day. You know, everybody should have a right to have a job or whatever you know, a third of Navajo and Hopi lack indoor plumbing and direct access to clean drinking water in the face of covert. That's been devastating because it makes constant hand washing difficult and makes it hard to stay home because people have to travel to a windmill and and Halder water. Um or seek water in neighboring communities where the covert restrictions or not. Very strictly imposed. So you know, I really love to see President Biden start talking about human rights and setting that minimum standard for all Americans. This is Paul. The concern is that's a color blind approach that doesn't directly attack white supremacy. So human rights, not civil rights Reminds me of President Obama's color blind approach. He would say that a rising tide lifts all boats, so if you make things better for everybody than people of color will also benefit. The rising tide only helps if you have a boat and too many people of color, including native people, that African American people never had a boat in the first place. The point is that mass incarceration, police violence, the disproportion impact of the cove it pandemic on communities of color segregated in substandard housing.

Thanks for having me. Senators were sworn in yesterday to be jurors in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump over his role in the insurrection at the U. S Capitol. But that procedural step was marked by a bit of drama, thanks to a maneuver by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. As NPR's Barbra's front reports in a tweet. On Monday, Paul previewed that he wanted to force lawmakers on the record over the issue of whether former President Trump's impeachment trial is constitutional. He did just that yesterday. The move cut even some of his colleagues off guard. You think I was more surprised than anything? That's Lisa Murkowski, Republican senator from Alaska. Paul argued The trial is a partisan exercise and unconstitutional because Trump is no longer an office if the accused is no longer president, where is the constitutional power to impeach him? Private citizens don't get impeached. Impeachment is for removal from office and the accused here has already left office. But majority leader Chuck Schumer dismissed the idea and sought to table the motion. The theory that the Senate can try former officials would amount to a constitutional get out of jail free card for any president who commits an impeachable offense. The Senate voted 55 to 45 to reject Paul's argument, clearing the way for the trial to move forward on February 9th. The outcome was expected. Democrats had enough votes to dismiss Paul's motion. But the vote count is telling and likely for shadows the intentions of most Republican senators during the trial itself. It could signal a blow to the house's case in the Senate before the trial even starts, a two thirds majority is required for a Senate conviction. Democrats would need 17 Republicans to join them to convict Trump. And in this vote on Lee, five, Republicans joined Democrats to table the motion that includes Markowski. She says she expects the question about constitutionality to come up during the trial. I think this is a matter that needs to be brought before the full Senate. I think we need to have that level of a briefing, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has left the door open on how he would vote after the trial. Still, even he sided with most of the Republican Conference in support of Paul's motion. Senate Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota, a Republican, said the vote doesn't necessarily indicate that lawmakers will vote one way or another after the trial. I just think that it was a question on the constitutionality of it. I don't think it binds anybody wants the trial starts. But Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, who voted with the Democrats, says the implication is clear. The Senate will ultimately not convict Trump. Do the math. Do the math, she says.

I ran for president because I believe we're in a battle for the soul of this nation. The simple truth is our soul be troubled as long a systemic racism is allowed to persist. But in signed executive orders this week that cover housing, private prisons and the treatment of Native Americans and Asian Americans. NPR's Carrie Johnson reports, President Biden says the country is at a turning point in its attitude toward racial justice. After police killings of unarmed black people sparked protests last summer. Those eight minutes and 46 seconds that took George Floors, life open the eyes of millions of Americans and millions of people around all over the world. Over his first week in office, Biden reverse the so called Muslim ban and paved the way for a return to diversity and inclusion training programs in the government. On Tuesday he signed four new executive orders. Susan Rice leads the White House Domestic Policy council. Today, The average black family has just 1/10 the wealth of the average white family. While the gap between white and black in home ownership is now larger than itwas in 1960, the first bite an executive order directs federal agencies to overcome a history of racism in housing and restore tools to uncover evidence of discrimination when people apply for rental units and mortgages. The second executive order instructs the Justice Department to phase out its contracts with private prisons. This will not end mass incarceration, but it's an important step toward taking the profit motive out of incarceration. That's David Farty. He directs the National Prison project of the American Civil Liberties Union. Varty says the president has an obligation to doom or because of his promises. On the campaign trail. There is much, much more work that needs to be done Most. Obviously, this order does not apply to immigration detention, where more than 80% of detained immigrants are held. In private for profit prisons. The final two executive orders promised support and respect for Native American sovereignty and call on federal agencies to fight xenophobia against Asian Americans. Hateful rhetoric against them has spiked during the pandemic. Him as a bear directs public policy at the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights under law, she expects to see more from the federal government, since it's already hired experts and racial equity across the administration. One of the strongest signals to the civil rights community has been the appointments of key administration officials. Who come from the civil rights community and are committed to their core of their work to racial equity and justice. Biden says to expect Maura executive orders soon Carrie Johnson NPR NEWS Washington All right. We're going to take a closer look now with housing issue, The Biden administration says the federal government needs to do a better job of acknowledging the ways that communities of color are blocked from fair and equal access to housing. Andre Perry is a senior fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution where he studies race and housing. Andre Thanks so much for being here. Hey, thanks for having so what do you make of this executive order isn't going to is going to make the changes that you want to see. Well, first, this is start. We haven't heard or seen equity mentioned as much as any president. It has been uttered by Biden and in just the first month of being in office, so introducing values is important.

Thanks for having me. Senators were sworn in yesterday to be jurors in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump over his role in the insurrection at the U. S Capitol. But that procedural step was marked by a bit of drama, thanks to a maneuver by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. As NPR's Barbra's front reports in a tweet on Monday, Paul Preview that he wanted to force lawmakers on the record over the issue of whether former President Trump's impeachment trial is constitutional. He did just that yesterday. The move cut even some of his colleagues off guard. They think I was more surprised than anything. That's Lisa Murkowski, Republican senator from Alaska. Paul argued. The trial is a partisan exercise and unconstitutional because Trump is no longer an office if the accused is no longer president, where is the constitutional power? To impeach him. Private citizens don't get impeached. Impeachment is for removal from office and the accused here has already left office. But majority leader Chuck Schumer dismissed the idea and sought to table the motion. The theory that the Senate can try former officials would amount to a constitutional get out of jail free card. For any president who commits an impeachable offense. The Senate voted 55 to 45 to reject Paul's argument, clearing the way for the trial to move forward. On February 9th. The outcome was expected Democrats had enough votes to dismiss Paul's motion. But the vote count is telling and likely for shadows the intentions of most Republican senators during the trial itself. It could signal a blow to the house's case in the Senate before the trial even starts, a two thirds majority is required for a Senate conviction. Democrats would need 17 Republicans to join them to convict Trump. And in this vote on Lee, five, Republicans joined Democrats to table the motion that includes Markowski. She says she expects the question about constitutionality to come up during the trial. I think this is a matter that needs to be brought before the full Senate. I think we need to have that level of briefing, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has left the door open on how he would vote after the trial. Still, even he cited with most of the Republican conference in support of Paul's motion. Senate Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota, a Republican, said the vote doesn't necessarily indicate that lawmakers will vote one way or another after the trial. I just think that it was a question on the constitutionality of it. I don't think it finds anybody wants the trial starts. But Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, who voted with the Democrats, says the implication is clear. The Senate will ultimately not convict Trump. Do the math do the math, she says.

We haven't heard or seen equity mentioned as much as any president. It has been uttered by Biden and in just the first month of being in office, so introducing values is important. This executive order on how they also directs the HUD secretary to essentially enforce discrimination under, Um uh, that occurs under its purview. S Oh, it's a great start. The problem with it is that housing entails so many different regulatory agencies so so many different jurisdictions that HUD may not be able to reach many of the issues that Hurts black, brown and Asian people. And so so it's just good start. Um, it's more than symbolic. But I'm happy to see it. Yeah, I'm gonna pick up on something. You said that the order is gonna push hard to fully enforce the Fair Housing act. Can you explain how the Fair Housing act has been neglected or not enforced? Oh, man, when when it comes to discrimination, Um, there's some obvious sort of things that occur on the daily so there's rental discrimination. Landlords consistently, um, discriminate against black brown and agent folk. We also see steering. In from real estate agents. And that's the practice where, um of real estate agents direct potential buyers towards one neighborhood whether they're black or white, depending on the neighborhood. There's also harassment claims that Essentially come from lamb look, particularly from landlords on Dis is occurring right now because of Covitz. So many renters have not been able to pay and they receive significant harassment. So Over the last four years. You have essentially not seen any enforcement there. The Ben Carson and HUD essentially been sitting on their collective hands when it comes to these issues, so This is a welcome action on the part of Biden to say, Hey, we have at least have to enforce the rules in the book the But there's another issue. Equity is not just about fairness. It's also about material losses. The executive order doesn't really touch on how we're going to recoup those material losses. From historic discrimination. Some of some part of this problem lies outside federal control. Right, As you have mentioned practices from mortgage lenders discriminate practices. The banks have carried out real estate agents and that industry how do you start to address those issues? Yeah, you know again. Housing involves the federal Housing finance Agency, The 0 CC officers, the Comptroller of the currency, the Fed Reserve. There's so many agencies. My issue that's mentioned in the memo regarding housing is in terms of housing. The valuation has a lot to do with real estate agent behavior has a lot to do with appraisals has a lot to do with lending..
