"Other advocates would like the Biden administration to take a wider look at the question of unaccompanied minors. Gladys Molina runs the young Center for Immigrant Children's rights in Phoenix, a comprehensive look and how they can't stay out of government care. Allow kids with an adult caregiver to present at the border and release them as soon as possible after being processed by border control. Because many migrant Children don't head to the U. S border alone. They travel with an adult grandmother, an older cousin. They become unaccompanied one separated by U. S officials from that relative at the border since that adult isn't a parent or guardian. Molina doesn't think this should happen. But not everyone agrees The U. S. Should keep the door open to unaccompanied Children at all. Pete Hermanson is a long time now Retired Border Patrol agent he lives near Knoxville, Tennessee. Border Patrol agents often encounter unaccompanied Children. First, I think that we put the border Patrol and we put our immigration services in a position where they're stressed. Where they're not resource properly, and we're not handling the situation properly. He believes the U. S. Should work more with Mexico to return migrant Children back to their home countries. But for now, the U. S. Is working to keep places like Fort Bliss in Texas is an option. And allow Children arriving alone to the US to stay for the world on Monica Campbell. Popular activist who fought corruption in Ghana was killed this week. Ibrahim Mohamed, better known as Kaka use social media to help launch a hashtag fix the country now a mob attacked him on Monday. Young activists who protested his death were then shot at by police to more people were killed. To talk with us about this social movement and the events as we can. Ghana is journalist Ridwan Kareem Dini Osman. He joins us from the capital Accra. Tell its first of all Ridwan, who was Kaka, the man who was killed and what his movement was all about. Well thinks the country now activists Kaka Mohammed, popularly known as Kaka, like you've already mentioned was attacked by a mob y returning home on Sunday at age era, a farming community in the Ashanti region of southern Ghana. Now I'm Confirmed. Reports say the 45 year old was killed because of his runs on Social media, which were believed to have made the government unpopular Now carcass family revealed that the deceased had received threats. Over his Facebook tirade before the deadly attack, and it's a little confusing this mob that showed up at his house. I read that the police may have been involved, or perhaps these are citizens sent by the police. Have there been any arrests made in his death? And is there any further information on who this mob was? We have very little information. I think that police have been given enough public information about I mean, in terms of the profiling they have done on the suspect. But we know that they have arrested three suspects and as I speak to you now they are in court. We are monitoring until see what the outcome of today's proceeding will be. But we know that they are being charged in connection with The better incidents. So regardless of who made up this mom that attacked Kaka and ultimately led to his death. Kaka's neighborhood I gather, went out to protest afterwards. And now the news of his death has reverberated all over Ghana. What kind of support does Kaka and his movement actually have across the country now, during his burial on Tuesday in Nigeria, things got bloody When I joined the police and military team confronted Irish youth who have taken to the streets to demand justice. Now the joints Security forces shot and killed two suspects. And that's about four others critically injured coffees. Yeah, is one of the protesters. I I spoke to Humana had to rush to the scene. I went there and full of large, so I had to follow up to the hospital and lo and behold, tour dates about six or eight or nine people also injured. Red one. I'm kind of confused because Ghana has enjoyed a really positive reputation in recent years for such a model nations. Should we be surprised that there is a movement called Fix the country now in Ghana? I mean, what started that? Well in the leader to the 2020 elections in Ghana. The president give some relief, particularly on water and electricity because of the general economic hardship emanating from the Covid 19 pandemic, However early 2021 as so many taxes where reimposed including on water and electricity now this led to anger as many good ends continue to struggle financially. Many resulted to social media to express their frustration and that gave birth to the face of a country now movement and what happened in a draft. So what happens now? In this kind of fraught week to the fix the country now movement? Where does it go from here about movement have been bought by the police from protesting because of Covid earlier now, this was child in court, and the movement won the right to demonstrate. But we were told they must work with the police. As so far, however, will fix the country now has yet to declare whether it will carry out further demonstrations. Time possibly will tell Reporter Ridwan Kareem Dini, Osman and Accra, The Ghanaian capital. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. We'll be right back.

"NPR news. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is intensifying. Three women in Israel were killed by Hamas rocket fire on their apartment blocks today among hundreds of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Israel continues its air strikes on Gaza, which have killed at least 30 people and brought down an apartment building there. As the escalation continues, Some say the U. S needs to do more to help resolve the conflict. Biden administration wants to focus on other foreign policy priorities. But as NPR's Michele Kelemen reports, the Middle East has a way of drawing the US back in Biden administration was trying to tread lightly in the Middle East. It has taken some small steps to rebuild relations with the Palestinians restoring aid that was cut by the Trump Administration. But former U. S Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer says the U. S needs to get more involved. The administration has studiously avoided Dealing with almost any aspect of this issue, other than trying to correct some of the most egregious mistakes of the Trump administration. What's the violence on the ground? And the escalation tells us is that The conflict is not going to give the administration a vacation. Now at Princeton University, Kurtzer says the U. S needs to be tougher with Israel to stop it from carrying out planned evictions of Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem. That is one of the issues that is raising tensions Now, Kurtzer says the U. S. Should also press Israel to crack down on ultranationalist Jewish groups. That have been roaming the streets, chanting anti Arab slogans and provoking fights with Palestinians. In other words, the Israelis have to hear from us. As Hamas to the Palestinians need to hear from those who have some sway with them. That we're not simply going to turn the cheek and allow this to go on. When our own interests are at stake. One interest is making sure Israel remains a democracy. Another is allowing the US to focus on many other global threats. Michelle Dunn of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace worries that the Biden administration is just not staffed up yet to deal with this crisis. They didn't want to appoint a special envoy for Israel Palestine, which most administrations in the past have done and they don't even have yet a new U. S. Ambassador to Israel or consul general Working with the Palestinians done says this may be a sign that the Biden administration wants to focus elsewhere. But the US Israel alliance is the biggest bilateral military relationship in the world. And we've seen some on the more progressive side of the Democratic Party in Congress already pressing the administration saying Well, you said you wanted to make human rights and important part of your foreign policy. Where is that now and we see that you know, the Biden administration just clearly hasn't thought this through. Yet. State Department spokesperson Ned Price is the U. S is doing what it can Calm tensions and sending clear messages to both sides. Israel has a right to self defense. We also recognize that the Palestinian people need to be able to live in safety and security, just as Israelis do. He wouldn't say whether the U. S. Thinks Israeli air strikes in Gaza are proportional, but says any loss of civilian life is quote. Deeply lamentable. The White House says President Biden is getting daily briefings on the situation.

"Online at L c h b com Michelle Hannigan. Hillary Walker will be back after marketplace with look at traffic and then at 4 30 on the California report. As we ring in the new year, we revisit some of our favorite stories about the people who inspired us in 2020. This is KQED. This is marketplace. I'm Reema Face After decades of debate, the Trump Administration next week is planning to auction off drilling rights in Alaska more specifically Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Those against drilling say they want to protect the land, which is home to some 250 animal species, including Keira Booze and Wolverines. But here's what you may find surprising and this long awaited bidding process Turns out there's not a lot of interest. Here's the marketplaces Scott Tongue. A lot of things were in fashion in the mid eighties. Big hair, fanny packs and oil giants wanting to drill in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. Her and war all have mostly gone out of style. Him bride. Ricco publishes the Alaska Economic Report. One thing that is really interested. A lot of us in Alaska who follow these things is how ambivalent the major oil companies have been an and war for years. That could be because they sense the toxic politics. Decades of environmental opposition mean a risk of lawsuits against well cos. Considering in war. Less corporate reputational risk bread, nurses and drilling in remote Alaska is not cheap words. Energy and environment lawyer David Hayes, a former top official at the Interior Department, the price of oil is not high. The expense of drilling in Alaska is high. Meanwhile, there are many places in the world that are much cheaper to drill for oil, then the Alaskan Arctic so most if not all, oil giants are expected to sit out the bidding. Which would mean low lease prices in measly royalties for the government. Not exactly what Congress predicted three years ago when it authorized leasing an assumed a billion dollars in royalties. The bids they're put in are going to be nowhere near what Congress said would likely occur. Low bids mean drilling rights could go for bargain prices, though, and Bradner at the Alaska Economic Report predicts some interest Perhaps among state and local players, the geology does look very good. And even given all the bad PR in the politics, I just can't imagine that somebody maybe just individuals aren't kind of submit bids, perhaps anticipating lukewarm interest. Alaska State Development Commission just got the okay to bid itself. Make a grab for potentially valuable land and eventually flip it or partner with oil companies. The deadline for bids came yesterday and Wednesday they'll be unsealed in Washington. I'm Scott Tong for Marketplace. Three words to remember to get started on Monday. MARKETPLACE Morning Report. Check it out. Uh huh. Drilling in Alaska or anywhere really is about energy generation. But just as important, maybe more is how to store that energy. Like iPhone that is sitting in front of you right now. Trying to grab my attention with notifications uses lithium ion batteries. That's the same technology that is in my laptop. My airpods, my Tesla. Just kidding. I don't have a Sessler. But if I did lithium ion batteries, they power electric cars, too, and the technology while it is helping pave the way towards a renewable energy future. Some wonder is that actually the answer to our bigger energy needs from K U N. R in Reno, Nevada. No, Black explains. Venture.

"Congress has overridden President Trump's veto of a defense policy bill. This is the first veto override of Trump's presidency. In an unusual New Year's Day session, the Republican controlled Senate voted 81 to 13 for the override. Bill provides a pay raise for U. S troops and guides Defense policy. President Trump rejected the measure last week. He denounced it for language that allows the renaming of military bases that honor Confederate leaders.

"Looks like a better decision down the road than it does today? I think there could I mean, remember, Brexit is really about the idea of national sovereignty. It's not about economics. And this is how Boris Johnson put it on Christmas Eve. When he finally got that trade deal, The British people voted to take back control of their money, their borders, their laws. And, of course, that's in an economic cost, Ari. Another potential scenario where Brexit looks a little better. Is it politically? The U becomes even harder to manage. And the U. K in the end is glad that I got out when it did. That's NPR's Frank Langfitt. Thank you for all of your coverage of the story over the years, and particularly today on this historic moment. Great to talk. All right, all right, from the edge of the English Channel. Let's have now to Oxford, where on and men and is director of the UK in a changing Europe. That's a think tank with a focus on Brexit. Welcome. Thank you having me Want to scale from solid wind to utter disaster. Where would you put this deal very much towards the wind side because by the time we reached sort of Christmas, and of course, the deal was finally done on Christmas Eve. We have a binary choice, which was between deal and no deal. No deal would have been significantly more disruptive significantly more costly and I think, as importantly and no deal outcome would have set the UK and its European partners of loggerheads. Each side blamed the other for the collapse of the talks, and that would have got in the way of cooperation on security. Climate on all kinds of things for weeks, if not months, So compared to that outcome, a deal is a wind from the American perspective. Britain's role as a global leader has been crucial. I mean, the UK has a permanent seat on the U. N Security Council. It's a powerful force in NATO. How do you see that changing after this Brexit deal? And when I say is the one that you miss there is that the UK is also being useful to the U. S. As a friend inside the European Union. That is to say, an Atlanticist liberal free trading state that could shape you decisions and make the case for Atlantis is, um and free trade at the heart of the European Union. I think the U. S. Will miss that. I suspect the UK will make efforts to be an even more activist foreign policy player. Because the government is keen to ram home that message we might have turned our back on European Union membership. But we haven't turned our back on the world or on our responsibilities as a key defender of the liberal international Order. I'm curious is a person who has devoted your professional life to following this saga over the years. Can you just tell us how you Personally feel now that this deal has finally happened, I found I found every step of the journey very, very interesting because so many weird and wonderful things have happened in British politics wonderful, broadly defined from the perspective of a political scientist. You could not how you could not hope to live through or interesting time to study the politics of your country. The other thing for me that is fascinating, though, is that many people, many people who supported Brexit leaving the European Union wasn't and ended itself. It was a means to an end. That is to say, if we leave the European Union, then we can doctor thought you fill in that blank because you won't become a more activist international player Deregulating away. The European Union would never let us so Actually, The real test of Brexit in many ways is yet to come. Which is now you've got that freedom. What the hell are you going to do with it? And how are you going to make people's lives better because of it, despite the fact You're in charge of an economy that is growing less fast.

Never bet against Los Angeles. This is the city of Angels, and you certainly have acted that way. So far, Let's finish strong. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. Thank you very much and all the best for the new year. Thank you sending you strengthen love and to all you listeners to for nearly half a century, the Supreme Court has ruled that women have a right to abortion and access to abortion. But now for the first time, there's a new conservative super majority on the high court, including three trump appointees, and that may well spell defeat for abortion as a constitutional right. NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg reports in 1973. When the Supreme Court handed down row versus Wade. The vote was 72. But since then the courts composition has moved inexorably to the ideological right. At the same time, however, public opinion polls have showed large majorities supporting abortion rights in most cases, and those approval ratings have remained remarkably stable over the years. On the Supreme Court. However, the centrist conservatives are gone, replaced by justice is more passionately opposed to the notion of a constitutional right to abortion. So the question now is how fast and how far does the court wanna move? Among constitutional scholars. There are basically two schools of thought. Many expect the Supreme Court to systematically hollow out Roe versus Wade, but not explicitly overturn it. Professor Josh Blackman predicts the slow evisceration of row until the right to abortion is just to write on paper. So it's like this sarcophagus of road that you have the outside tomb, but there's nothing inside just an empty shell. But and why you law professor Melissa Murray thinks that the time is right for anti abortion forces to strike most forcefully. There is, I think Galvanizing view within the pro life movement that the time has come to call the question. Why wouldn't you do it now? When you have the 63 Super Majority? Mallory quickly a vice president of the anti abortion Susan B. Anthony list, says her group is trying lots of different approaches aimed at undermining and ultimately overturning Roe. What the pro life movement is doing is Throwing every type of spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. Anti abortion forces are, in fact prevailing in many state legislatures, enacting lots of different laws that restrict abortion. As of now, there are four cases challenging those laws pending before the Supreme Court and more than a dozen cases pending in the federal appeals courts. Among the different restrictions are bands on abortions at early stages of pregnancy, with six states banning abortions after six weeks. That's before many women even realize they're pregnant. Then, too. There are bands on the most common method of surgical abortions there laws making it more difficult to obtain medical abortions using pills. Their laws, making it illegal to terminate a pregnancy because of fetal abnormality and their laws that make it difficult to impossible for clinics that perform abortions to remain open. Abortion rights lawyers like Stephanie Toti know they're facing an uphill battle. Roe v. Wade has been settled precedent for nearly 50 years and yet Everybody thinks that that we might be on the cusp of of that president being overturned, and so I think it's really important to keep up the fight. If the direction the conservative court is going on abortion is clear. Less clear is how the conservative justices will get there. And why use Professor Murray points to an idea promoted in an opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas, which sought to link Planned Parenthood, contraception and abortion to the racist views of the eugenics movement in the early 20th century. Though Thomas wrote for himself on Lee. In that case, Murray notes that other conservative justices last year adopted a similar approach in striking down laws permitting non unanimous jury verdicts because of their racist roots. And she suggests that maybe laying the groundwork for a new approach to overturning Roe. What could be better than to take down row on the ground that it is not just Wrong in terms of your moral view of where life begins, but it's wrong because it's about racial injustice. Indeed, those opposed to abortion already used the phrase anti discrimination laws. To refer to laws that ban abortions based on fetal abnormality.
