"News and the New York conversation. Live from NPR news in Washington. I'm Windsor Johnston. The cleanup continues in the Northeast in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. The remnants of the storm brought torrential rain and catastrophic flooding too many parts of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania last week. New Jersey governor Phil Murphy toward the city of Lambertville today, where residents are still working to clear debris and the spirit of teamwork and community activism is overwhelming. President Biden has approved major disaster declarations for counties in New Jersey and New York. The president is expected to visit those states on Tuesday. Millions of Americans could be facing eviction orders after the Supreme Court struck down a moratorium last month that protected renters from being thrown out of their homes during the coronavirus pandemic. NPR's Chris Arnold reports and a 6 to 3 decision, The justices blocked the Biden administrations temporary ban on the moratorium In many states, landlords could file eviction cases. They just couldn't take the final step of actually evicting people. But now they can Maggie can ear is a legal aid attorney in Atlanta. We are starting to get calls from people who have received notice. From the Marshall that the marshals are coming out in a few days to evict them, Kinnear says billions of dollars from Congress to pay back rent and prevent evictions has gotten bogged down in bureaucracy in many states, and it's not reaching many people in time. It is to me a tragedy. That there is money available and it's not getting to the people who really need it. And that is both the tenants and the landlords. Chris Arnold. NPR NEWS. The Biden administration has confirmed that it's helped an American citizen and family members evacuate Afghanistan by land to a neighboring country. Officials say the family successfully departed Afghanistan and was met by US embassy staff at the border. Listening to NPR news in Washington. And you're listening on WNBC in New York. I'm Sean Carlson. As you've been hearing, President Biden has approved major disaster declarations for parts of New York and New Jersey hit hard by Wednesday. Storms. New York governor Kathy Local says that declaration will bring additional money that can go towards temporary housing, crisis counseling and legal services. She says the storm caused at least $50 million worth of damage in the state. Local says the deadly flooding also demonstrates the need for a better warning system. For New Yorkers who live in basement apartments. We know where they are. And whether they're certified and approved by a building inspection or not. Doesn't matter. There's a human being living in. There are multiple human beings living in that space. Local also says she's identified $375 million in separate funding. She wants to dedicate towards infrastructure improvements. At least 17 New Yorkers died as a result of the storm. Meanwhile, elected officials from parts of New York City that's all flooding last week are calling on cities, state and federal leaders to come together to invest in protecting people from future storms. Council member Justin Brannan represents district 43 in Brooklyn, which includes Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Benson hurts and Bath Beach, he told NPR making changes takes money, but the cost of doing nothing. Is too high and rising. This is just you know, it's new reality, but it's something that we've been. We've been warning. We've been sending me alarm on for a long time. And it comes to a point where it's like. Well, how many once in a lifetime storms can I have in my lifetime? Brennan says New York needs to take lessons from other parts of the world that have figured out better ways to deal with flooding. Extended unemployment benefits, one of the cornerstones of the federal government's response to the covid pandemic end a day. The winding down of expanded benefits will impact more than a million New Yorkers that includes Jennifer Wang from Orange County. The 52 year old says she's applied for more than 100 remote and office jumps after the pandemic caused a huge drop off in her travel marketing business. She says she is now considering taking a job in the service sector, which she says could put her health at risk. I have fibromyalgia and I have a lot of back issues, but I have retail in my background and I have restaurant background, but it's just to me like I know that My body can't handle eight hours on my feet. Democratic lawmakers have been pushing Governor Huckle to prolong unemployment benefits. A spokesperson for the governor says the decision on extending the program has yet to be made. For tonight.

There's so many questions left about the Taliban in Afghanistan what the rules will be under their rain, who their leaders will be whether the Taliban has seized the last part of the country that they didn't control. The Taliban says they have but rebel forces in the pen Sure province contest that claim and say they'll continue fighting now to bring us up to date. We spoke with Matthew Akins in Kabul. He reports for the New York Times. Want to start with Pensioner province because there are kind of conflicting reports about whether the Taliban has taken over the region. Um, what do you know now? Well, it's a little difficult because the Taliban of cut communications with the valley, but we did see some videos of Taliban fighters, speaking from the provincial capital in front of government buildings, so the Taliban have clearly captured That part of the provincial capital. At least I think that there is a lot of expectation and a lot of maybe hopes being projected onto what is actually fairly small group of people in a small province. We've also been hearing that the Taliban is going to set up its its government. Um what have you learned? And can you give us a sense of kind of how this this group can rule? We were expecting a government last week. It didn't happen. And I think that speaks to both internal divisions within the movement and considerable outside pressure, so we don't really know what it's going to look like. I mean, we've really been assuming and hearing that there's going to be a supreme leader in a kind of theocratic position, and that would be Sheikh haibatullah ones of that, who is the current spiritual leader of the Taliban? There is a definite regional difference between um The southerners like Kandahar is the helm undies and then you have groups like their Connie's. You have other Taliban commanders and networks that have been brought in more recent years from the north. The country. So the Taliban does actually reflect the diversity of the country and another fault lives. That is, there is, I think an interesting generational aspect here. You have younger leaders. You know, there has been an incredible amount of Taliban fighters and commanders have been killed and that I think wiped out a lot of the older Qatar's at least in the field. So there is a young group of Taliban They do represent the the youth of the country in that sense. Now, after US forces left, we heard US officials say that they'd still work to get Americans and Afghans who had worked with the U. S who were left behind right people who would be seeking asylum. Have you seen any movement on that front? Well, I would say that probably most interesting development is just that the airport is now operational. There's been domestic flights going. There have been some international military flights that have come in from the The Qataris and Turkey and the Taliban have said that they're going to let anyone who has proper visas and passports. Leave if they want so may very well be that this evacuation or relocation, resettlement, whatever you want to call it. Well, actually just be able to proceed through normal channels. If the Taliban keep their word, and the West keeps to his word. If the West actually makes visas and documents available to these people, I know that the international community is very worried about like the ability to get aid into the country. As the Taliban kind of address this or cooperated at all. Yeah, I think they're looking at humanitarian aid is probably one of the first points of cooperation that they can start with their nationals. You know, they They really want to legitimacy. They want to be recognised they they need AIDS. There will be opportunity as well. Now that security concerns are gone. I mean, you're able now to travel around the rural areas, the country because the Taliban and control there may be less corruption if you're better oversight. But the challenge is immense. There's a huge trust deficit, obviously with the Taliban internationals and it's very urgent people are you know are suffering from drought from hunger. From poverty all over this country. And that's New York Times reporter Matthew Akins. 2020 was a tough year for local election workers between a pandemic record setting mail votes, threats and conspiracies about the count's pushed by former President Donald Trump and his allies. Preparations are underway for 2022 sweeping new voting laws in states such as Georgia provide a new challenge for those tasked with overseeing the voting process..

"And the listeners and supporters of KQED public radio Now, 7 35. This is morning edition from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin in Washington, D C and I'm Steve Inskeep in Islamabad, Pakistan, even here, as we report on different stories on the other side of the world. It's been hard to miss the images of flooding in New York City. My former home Hurricane Ida, you will recall devastated much of Louisiana when it came ashore and then remarkably kept much of its destructive power. Even after it moved far inland and passed over 1000 miles of land before slamming New York. New York City Council member Justin Brandon represents part of Brooklyn and also chairs the city's committee on resiliency and Waterfront. So we've called him Council member Good morning. Morning, Steve. Thanks for having me. How's the recovery going in your district? What's interesting about my district is two of the main neighborhoods in my district are have names that include elevation You have Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. And usually in storms like this. We are immune and stay pretty dry. But this time was different. I don't know that there was a house or a basement in my district that didn't take on Water of some kind, So it's clear that we're dealing with a very new reality here. And when you say new reality, you mean, of course, that by climate change change, there's likely to be more storms like this. Absolutely. And for those of us who have been sounding the alarm on this stuff for a long time, you know, we often feel like the boy who cried Wolf. But now it's clear that you know the clock has run out and the new climate reality is here and like you said, I mean, the fact that we had a storm that devastated Louisiana and, you know, days later, also devastated New York City is just It's just a very, very new reality that that we need to prepare for it. We need to prepare for a very, very Quickly. Well, let's talk about that preparation because some people will know New York has had devastating storms before the city was trying to respond. The city's already been raising some of its shorelines. Now, I guess we have to ask are those existing and planned improvements enough? And I think they are enough. I think the issue is that they're not happening fast enough. I think it's not like we're staring at a blank page here where we don't know what to do. And now, today, we have to figure out how to make our city more resilient. We know what to do. The problem is bureaucracy. You know you have you have fights on city state federal level that often, uh, that often bottle up these projects that frankly, we don't have time for. You know, this isn't the same as You know, a new slide in the playground. You know, these are projects that really is a matter of life and death. Um, and everyone really needs to come together to push this stuff through because almost 10 years later Now I'm still visiting communities that are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Um so you have You also have an equity issue here because you have Primarily low income communities of color who are really on the front lines of the climate crisis, whether they like it or not, So I think really, what called right now. What's what's called for is partnership on every level of government. To recognize that this is an emergency. That's not coming soon. It's here right now. It's sitting on our couch with us drinking coffee, and we need to do something about it. But we know what to do. We just got to do it. Sitting on the couch with you drinking coffee and perhaps feet in the water that's on the floor. How different does the city need to look in 10 or 20 years and it looks now. That's a great question. I mean, I think part of this is about sort of lifting that veil of exceptionalism, right? I mean, I love my city. I love my state. I love my country. But maybe we don't have all the answers. And if other places are doing things better than we are, I think we've got to be willing to listen to and learn from from what other cities or states or countries might be doing because, frankly, the cost of doing nothing at this point is far greater. And the cost of doing something. Um, and these storms clearly are only going to get worse. And there's a lot of us who have been saying this for a long time, and none of us take any satisfaction over. You know what we've been warning finally being here, but But that's that's what we're dealing with right now that the climate crisis is not at our doorstep. It's here. It's inside homes. Can I just ask? New York, of course, is an archipelago. It's almost all on islands other than the Bronx. Can you imagine some parts of New York City being abandoned in the future? It's certainly possible. You saw that in parts of Staten Island after Hurricane Sandy, I think you're absolutely right, Steve People forget that New York City is 590 miles of coastline. We have four of the five boroughs are either islands are connected to one So you know, I don't know. People think of New York City is landlocked. In some way. It's very, very much not so not only do we have a coastline, we have islands and and we're very, very vulnerable to these storms are one of the most active Urban hurricane centers. So this is just, you know, it's new reality, but it's something that we've been. We've been warning. We've been sending the alarm on for a long time. And it comes to a point where it's like.

I don't know that there was a house or a basement in my district that didn't take on water of some kind, so it's clear that we're dealing with a very new reality here. And when you say new reality, you mean, of course, that by climate change, there's likely to be more storms like this. Absolutely. And for those of us who have been sounding the alarm on this stuff for a long time, you know, we often feel like the boy who cried Wolf. But now it's clear that you know the clock has run out and the new climate reality is here and like you said, I mean, the fact that we had a storm that you know, devastated Louisiana and, you know, days later, also devastated New York City is just It's just a very, very new reality that that we need to prepare for it. We need to prepare for a very, very Quickly. Well, let's talk about that preparation because some people will know New York has had devastating storms before the city was trying to respond. The city has already been raising some of its shorelines. Now, I guess we have to ask are those existing and planned improvements enough? And I think they are enough. I think the issue is that they're not happening fast enough. I think it's not like we're staring at a blank page here where we don't know what to do. And now, today, we have to figure out how to make our city more resilient. We know what to do. The problem is bureaucracy. You know you have you have fights on city state federal level that often, uh, that often bottle up these projects that frankly, we don't have time for. You know, this isn't the same as You know a new slide in the playground. You know, these are projects that really is a matter of life and death. Um, and everyone really needs to come together to push this stuff through because almost 10 years later Now I'm still visiting communities that are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. So you have You also have an equity issue here because you have primarily low income communities of color who are really on the front lines of the climate crisis, whether they like it or not, Um, so I think really what called Right now it's what's called for is partnership on every level of government to recognize that this is an emergency. That's not coming soon. It's here right now. It's sitting on our couch with us drinking coffee, and we need to do something about it. But we know what to do. We just got to Do it, sitting on the couch with you drinking coffee and perhaps feet in the water that's on the floor. How different does the city need to look in 10 or 20 years and it looks now. That's a great question. I mean, I think part of this is about sort of lifting that veil of exceptionalism, right? I mean, I love my city. I love my state. I love my country. But maybe we don't have all the answers. And if other places are doing things better than we are, I think we've got to be willing to listen to and learn from from what other cities or states or countries might be doing because, frankly, the cost of doing nothing at this point is far greater. And the cost of doing something. Um, and these storms clearly are only going to get worse. And there's a lot of us who have been saying this for a long time, and none of us take any satisfaction over. You know what we've been warning finally being here, but But that's that's what we're dealing with right now that the climate crisis is not at our doorstep. It's here. It's inside homes. Can I just ask? New York, of course, is an archipelago. It's almost all on islands other than the Bronx. Can you imagine some parts of New York City being abandoned in the future? It's certainly possible. You saw that in parts of Staten Island after Hurricane Sandy, I think you're absolutely right, Steve People forget that New York City is 520 miles of coastline. We have four of the five boroughs are either islands are connected to one So you know, I don't know. People think of New York City is landlocked. In some way. It's very, very much not so not only do we have a coastline, we have islands and and we're very, very vulnerable to these storms are one of the most active Urban hurricane centers. So this is just, you know, it's new reality, but it's something that we've been. We've been warning. We've been sending the alarm on for a long time. And it comes to a point where it's like.

"To the corners corner segment of asked the lawyer This year. You know, it's an election year. I mean, yeah, we're not running for governor. We're not running for president. But there are people they're important races throughout New York City City Council races, let along the race for mayor. And what with us right now We have two guests. Fran Villamarin from the New York State Conservative Party and Brian Fox candidate for City Council in neighborhood where I live in Bay Ridge. Welcome to the show, guys. Thanks for having me on great to be here. Now, Fran. You and I live in the same neighborhood pretty much. Uh, We got a city councilman out here. What's wrong with him? Well, basically the City Council when we have is absent, he doesn't represent the community. The quality of life since he's been elected has gone down. Taxes are up. Crimes up, but a quality of life is really decreased, and we need somebody in that position that can help save our community and saved the city. We need somebody that's going to be present and do the job. Okay. Which is our other guest Right here. Brian Fox. Brian. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. Okay. Now, Fran, why did you guys decide to endorse Bryant? Brian has the qualities and qualifications to be a city councilman and represent the community well. He believes that we need to improve the quality of life. He's a big supporter of the N Y P D. He wants to drive down crime. He wants to lessen the burden on our small businesses and the people that live in the community, and that's the kind of person that we need in the City Council, and that's something So that's the kind of person that the Conservative Party wants in the City Council. Okay, Brian, let me ask you this question. Why did you decide to run for City Council? I mean, who wants to get involved in politics in today's world? Yeah, that's a good question. Very good questions. So I think that being a small business owner myself, I actually have the I T staffing firm. They run out of the house right now. I've been in business for quite quite a while, but I think that over the time of just living in bear Ege I've seen an unfortunate turn around with with with several points. I think crime has risen over the last. You know, if you even give it a span of between 7 to 10 years, I think that crime has gone significantly up. Vandalism, graffiti, The quality of life has gone down and as a concerned neighbor and and and business owner, um I decided to, um you know, put my hat in the ring and and and run to hopefully make a change in an impact will it locally in the community. Now. I mean, right now, it seems like New York City. Uh, you're talking about inmates running the asylum. I mean, if that doesn't fit right now, I don't know when it will, but You know has has the I'm say his name Justin Brannan. He's done anything as far as speak out against bail. The bail reform is sledding. Criminals, commit a felony a violent felony and get re released in a few hours. I don't think he's he's done anything to address that. And frankly, I mean, I do give credit where credit is due, and unfortunately, in this case, it really is not to give. Um I don't think that he's done anything to address the uptick in crime. I don't think he's done anything to address the situation with with Bill Reform and qualify and the qualified immunity situation. Um, we see so many, for instance, is whether there protests or whether they're just, you know, general crime. You'll see that police are a lot less willing. Now there's to make necessary arrests due to the fear of being personal help being held personally liable in several cases, whether it's a necessary arrest, or, you know, whatever The particular situation is, Um, so it's an answer your question. I think he has done um, very, very little, if not anything at all to address the uptick in crime. If I made may add to that Not only has he done very, very little, but he's done harm. Is actually supported defunding the police. He voted for that in the City Council. Yes, absolutely. And and and that's that's a major issue for me. I mean being that I back to blue and vigorously black to blue and and the police department. Local law enforcement corrections. I've that's going to be part of my platform from here until election Day. Uh, and moving forward beyond that, um, he has advocated for not just the dismantling of the N Y p D but also wants to introduce Unarmed caseworkers to show up to potentially violent situation. So it's going to step further, if not even just defunding the police but also supporting non arm's individuals going into potentially violent situations, which I don't know what world he's living in, but I know that in my ideology does not work. All right now I'm friend has Justin Brannan done anything to help the business owners in Bay Ridge or wherever. I mean, I don't I don't know of anything. Maybe he can tell us how I don't know of anything that he's done to help the business owners and be rich or any part of his district. The policies that he's voted for in the City Council have done nothing but damage the environment for businesses in the community, So I I don't see that he's done anything good. Um, I think that everything that he's done. All the votes that have taken have been detrimental to people not only to business owners, but the people that live in the community as well. Well, let me ask you something apply to the landlord's right now. Mean landlords can't affect anybody. Is a moratorium. The eight They're in some cases. So so somebody's not paying rent. They can't do anything about it. They've got to let the 10 and sit there. But at the same time there real estate taxes went up. And I think that's unconscionable. Everybody is getting government handouts, but the landlords and homeowners Your real estate taxes are going up. Meanwhile, or everything else, all the other expenses. Everybody else is getting a handout except the landlords. That's true. And if I can add to that the whole idea behind the property taxes in New York City have been a problem, especially for our community. In Bear Ridge. We pay higher property text and in other neighborhoods such as Park Slope. It's inequitable, and he promised, he promised. Justin Brannan promised that he would help fix the situation that he was going to do something about it. He has done nothing about it. Brian, What do you have Anything, dear to that? Yeah, I definitely agree with friends. I mean, it's it's something that he has an address, and I think that that's that's I mean being, you know, homeowners in in the local community, something that there needs to be a plan put in place. That's Feasible. That's plausible, and that's something that we we plan on putting together. Um, once elected. Okay. Now just quality of life, Brian. What? What do you have to say about quality of life in Bay Ridge Dyker Heights area. Sure it could definitely improve. I mean, I think that whether your renter's whether you're a homeowner, um, anyone living within the district deserves a great quality of life right so well, going back to what I was mentioning before, in terms of the not just the uptick in crime, but also when it comes to the lack of trash pickup On the corners of the trash that has been kind of built up and accumulated not just on the corners but also just in the streets..
