The biting cold of the night air makes her chills and aching muscles feel even worse. She is thirsty and tired. She needs to go to the bathroom, but she needs to ask for permission. She stands up on her mat. Toilet. This is the drill. Usually one of the kidnappers will nod and wave a hand, giving her permission. But tonight, all of the men are passed out. She says toilet three or four more times. Still, nothing. She has to go. She's going to throw up. She grabs a small pen light and flashes it as she makes her way into the desert. She doesn't want anyone to think she's trying to escape. It's pitch blackout. She has trouble finding her way. Jessica imagines for a moment, what it would be like to escape tonight. She could run for help, find the place to hide. But she knows nobody here would help her, and Paul would most likely be killed if she tried to escape. When she hits the brush, she drops to her knees and throws up, holding her hair with her left hand, and flashing her light with the right. When she's done, she goes back to her mat and lays down hugging her body into a ball trying to stay warm. Her starved body has trouble conserving heat and she shivers through her fever chills. She wants to sleep, but she can't. She keeps hearing scraping noises. It must be the giant beetles that emerge from their nests at night and skitter across the desert. They crawl into her blanket sometimes. She struggles to her feet and gives the blanket a shake, and then lays back down. Then she hears it again. She gives her blanket another shape. But then she hears the soft breathing of dahir. The one she calls the helper, the only one in the camp who is nice to her. At night, he sleeps near her to protect her from the other kidnappers who might rape her. She counts her breaths in and out. She looks for her mother's star, then her eyes close. Everything is silent until to here is on his feet, yelling at the other kidnappers. Up, up now, he has a gun. He never has a gun. What is happening? And then the night erupts in gunfire. It's 1 a.m.. Navy seal Justin Sheffield signals to his men to form a wedge and move in slowly. They roll the balls of their feet on the ground, they don't make any noise. They are headed to the outside edge of the kidnappers camp. Their plan to proceed downwind from the camp seems to be working. Ian his team landed a few clicks south of the target. On course and on time. They abandoned their heavy bags at the drop zone. Now, their light and nimble. They are essentially invisible to the naked eye. But in the pitch dark of the new moon, it's still hard to see anything. Sheffield looks up into the sky, scanning for the surveillance predator drones he knows are up there. They're sending back a live feed of their operation to the situation room in The White House. Sheffield assumes that the president is watching his every move. After a few more minutes of stealth maneuvering, Sheffield can just make out a small patch of trees ahead. It's the target area. The kidnappers makeshift camp. Sheffield whispers into his radio. We're a hundred meters out. They push in closer. Sheffield raises his rifle. He whispers into his radio again. All stop all stop, bad news. It looks like everyone is awake. Suddenly he detects movement. A man stands up. He's armed, adrenaline shoots through his body. Let's go, guys. Jeff field and his team start to move in, lining up their laser on the target's heads. Jessica hurdles beneath her blanket, shivering is bullets fall around her. It feels like the world is on fire. She has no idea what's happening. She assumes it's a rival plan, another group is coming to get them. Maybe Al shabaab the kidnappers scream to each other and then drop as bullets rip through their bodies. One of the bodies falls to the dirt beside her. She can just make out his voice in the gunfire. He's dead. To here was her only friend, other than Paul. Paul wears Paul she tries to make herself small. Stay down. Oh God, oh God, oh God. She doesn't know if it's a prayer or a scream. She knows she doesn't have the energy to survive another group. She's too sick. She worked so hard to get this far. Could this really be how it ends? She feels her blanket being ripped away. She fights to hold on, she can't see anything. She flails her arms ready to fight. But then she hears a voice. English. Jessica, Jessica, we are Americans. You're safe now. We've come to take you home. Jason Sheffield studies his breathing. He radios in. Jackpot hotel, we got her. He looks at the woman in front of him through the emerald green tint of his night vision goggles. She's covering her face, trying to protect herself. He can tell she's disoriented and confused. Jessica, can you walk? She looks around, patting the ground. I don't know where my shoes are. It's okay. I got you. We have to go. He lifts Jessica up and throws her over his shoulder. Then he takes off running, away from the gunfire, holding her head beneath his hand to protect it. Other seals form a shield around the two of them as they go. When Jason reaches the rest of his team, he sets Jessica down. Two of the seals come over and check her vital signs. He can tell she's.

"This morning edition from NPR news I mean Martinez in Culver City California And I'm Stevens keep in Washington D.C. Good morning Defense lawyers have now made their case for three men on trial for killing ahmaud Arbery They say that Georgia man wanted to make a citizen's arrest and that the suspect who fired the fatal shot believe he was acting in self defense Prosecutor Linda Dakota asserts that something else was on the minds of the three white defendants All three of these dependents made assumptions Made assumptions about what was going on that day and they made their decision to attack a monarchy in their driveways Because he was a black man running down the street Let's discuss this case with Aisha bell Hardaway She is a former prosecutor who now teaches law at case western reserve university in Ohio welcome to the program Good morning Thank you for having me What evidence brings race into this Well race has been talked about quite a bit throughout this trial The description of the individuals suspected of being on the English property over the months leading up to the killing of ahmaud Arbery somewhere black There's a notably a white couple with a bag seen on the property And so and so the jurors have heard a few different times about the description of suspected individuals on the property I guess we should remind people Arbery was supposedly looking at something on this vacant property where there was some construction going on and that is why the defendants say they found him suspicious Yes for sure But the mention of race is detailed by both prosecution witnesses and defense witnesses throughout the trial And so it would be naive for anyone including prosecutor Donna kaski to think that the jurors failed to pick up on the racial components present in this case Is it tricky to bring it up explicitly because however much we know the history of race in America and know the race of the individuals it's hard to prove in court what was in somebody's mind Sure absolutely The lived experiences of this juror of this jury and the individual's jurors is going to weigh heavily on how they hear and interpret the arguments made by all of the lawyers in the courtroom The hope is that you know prosecutor Donna caskey I think her hope would be that she's read the jury accurately and that no one would be put off by by her assertion you know that this is essentially racial profiling that led to the coronary confrontation and killing of mister Aubrey But that remains to be seen Oh that's fascinating So you might as a prosecutor are for that matter as a defense attorney be explicit about this or just let it sit there and be implied depending on your best guess of what's in the minds of the jury members That's right That's right So let's talk about the defense here Travis mcmichael the man who actually fired the shot said he was acting out of self defense and here's his lawyer Jason Sheffield Let's listen You are allowed to defend yourself You are allowed to use force that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if you believe it's necessary I have to note Kyle rittenhouse in Wisconsin pleaded self defense in the jury agreed the other day are the circumstances significantly different here Sure they're significantly different Simply as it relates to whether or not anyone was actually attempting to encounter the mcmichaels already Bryant I find it really interesting The clip that you just played if you listen to that that defense lawyer skillfully paused and inserted his client's name into an incomplete description of the Georgia self defense law And if the jurors were only paying attention to that particular clip which many I think hung on yesterday during closing arguments they might walk away with a false impression of what Georgia self defense law allows Well let's talk about that law specifically and also about race This race is I think a thorny question If you're a white person and you believe that you are in danger and acting in self defense and part of the reason you believe you're in danger is because you're confronting a black man is that still a legitimate self defense claim in Georgia Not to use deadly force In order to use deadly force you have to reasonably believe that it was necessary to prevent the same meaning to prevent deadly force It doesn't permit the use of deadly force when confronted with anything less than deadly force So a bald and baseless fear that of deadly force is insufficient to successfully assert the use of lethal force under Georgia's state law I believe prosecutors get to make a rebuttal today in a sentence What is the final point you'd make if you were prosecuting She needs to humanize mister Arbery and she needs to make it clear that these defendants acted in concert Ayesha Belle Hardaway professor at case western university thanks so much really appreciate your insights Thank you for having me Inflation is as high as it's been in more than three decades So President Biden went with stability for his pick to lead the Federal Reserve And he's tapped fed chairman Jerome Powell to stay on for a second four year term NPR Scott horsley reports Biden says pals steady and decisive leadership when the pandemic struck helped pave the way for the country's rapid economic rebound But with that turnaround has come a new challenge prices that are now climbing at the fastest pace in more than 30 years By an acknowledged many families are struggling to keep up with the growing cost of food and gasoline He says it's the Federal Reserve's job to keep a lid on inflation while also encouraging a return to full employment To meet these goals who's going to require patience skill and independence pal a Republican was initially appointed fed chair by former president Donald Trump and he enjoys strong bipartisan backing in the Senate Some progressive Democrats hope Biden would appoint fed governor lael brainard to leave the Central Bank but Biden tap brainard as vice chair instead Brendon says she looks forward to working with pal to build a durable recovery This means getting inflation down at a time when people are focused on their jobs and how far their paychecks will go It means supporting a growing economy that includes everyone By leading a Republican in the top fed job Biden gives the Central Bank some insulation from partisan politics But while the president says he respects the fed's independence Biden also says he got assurances from pal that the fed will be proactive in financial regulation and addressing the risk of the financial system posed by a changing climate Biden will soon have three more vacancies to fill

"It gave the family an awesome insight on what he was actually thinking Mister Travis mcmichael killed a kill my son All on assumptions He had no real facts or where ma was coming from What am I had done He just took actions into his own hands Now there will be more from Travis mcmichael today as the state continues its cross examination It's not exactly clear yet whether either of his co defendants his father Greg mcmichael and another neighbor William roddy Bryan will also choose to testify Debbie can I ask you lastly how the bigger theme of what racial justice means in this country is present in and outside of the courtroom Well certainly activists have been talking about it outside the courthouse but you know in the last couple of weeks it's also figured prominently in the courtroom Brian's attorney Kevin Goff has made several motions for mistrials after complaining about black pastors in the courtroom wherever now sharpton was there last week the reverend Jesse Jackson here this week sitting in the gallery with the Arbery family At one point the judge took golf to task for what he called reprehensible statements Now goth argues that having civil rights icons in court is an undue influence on the jury yesterday the mcmichael's lawyers joined him and asking judge to bar civil rights leaders from the gallery Here's attorney Jason Sheffield They represent a national conversation that is for the conviction of the defendants And for that reason I think that they should not be present in the courtroom where the jury can see them and be reminded of the national conversation So as you hear the national conversation about racial justice very prominent the judge denied that motion And now today in part in response to all of these arguments more than a hundred clergy are planning a faith march outside the courthouse And peers Debbie Elliott in Brunswick Georgia thanks Debbie The Afghan embassy in Washington D.C. was once a powerful symbol of the country's future Now it and dozens of other Afghan embassies around the world are in limbo Their staff to serve a government that no longer exists at the embassy Washington workers are racing to help thousands of refugees before the money runs out NPR's Laura Sullivan takes us inside For more than 70 years the embassy of Afghanistan with its stately Georgian brick and stone has held down the corner lock in.

"Us and death to antifa That unite the right rally in 2017 ended in violence with the killing of Heather heyer In opening statements in the civil case last week against the organizers one defendant dropped racial slurs in referenced Adolf Hitler's mein kampf in a federal courtroom This week opening statements are also expected in the murder case against father and son Gregory and Travis mcmichael along with William roddy Byron The white men are accused of murdering ahmaud Arbery a black man jogging in the neighborhood Central to jury selection were questions on race from the defense as a sign of whether a juror could be impartial Do they believe the confederate flag is a racist symbol Do they support the Black Lives Matter movement Here's defense attorney Jason Sheffield posing a question to potential jurors Who here agrees that people of color are not treated fairly or equally in the criminal justice system The trial against Kyle rittenhouse is also underway He was 17 when he crossed state lines with a semi automatic weapon He was underage so it was not legal for him to have a gun And he shot and killed two people and wounded another at antiracist protests in Kenosha Wisconsin that erupted after a police officer shot a black man in the back repeatedly Rittenhouse is claiming self defense In that case the judge has already ruled the people rittenhouse killed and wounded can't be called victims Here's judge Bruce Schroeder in court The word victim is a loaded loaded word And I think alleged victim is a cousin to it While the victims here weren't black they were at protests in the defense of black lives says Ashley woodard Henderson Co executive director of the highlander research and education center in Tennessee and a leader in the movement for black lives She says watching the three cases unfold We're seeing the disproportionate impact on black lives It's saying whose lives matter and our valuable and whose are not We're seeing judges say that the prosecution can not call the folks that were murdered or that were injured by shootings at those folks can't be called victims but that the prosecution can call them arsonists Looters rioters et cetera Brandon busky is the director of the criminal law reform project at the American civil liberties union One of the main things that unites this when you look at the allegations is you know these are these are all defendants either in criminal cases or in the civil case in Charlottesville who have been accused of actions in service of trying to defend the legacy of white supremacy and white dominance in this country And I think that's one of the most striking things that links all of these trials He points to the white vigilantism in the killing of ahmaud Arbery and the folk hero status of rittenhouse who killed people He crossed state lines to a place he's not from arm to confront antiracist protesters and people crowdfunded to pay for his defense One of the other common threads that I think we need to pay attention to here is the complicity of law enforcement Now now obviously these were not cases of police directly shooting individual as what happened with the uprisings of the past number of summers not just with George Floyd References the concerns and allegations about law enforcement's complicity or willingness to ignore threats in each case The outcomes of these three court cases will be referendums on race and white supremacy in this country he says but the emboldening of white nationalists and white supremacist groups Those under currents are going to require a much broader social reckoning than what these trials can provide When he's watching for are the narratives being spun in court and what the jury's ultimately decide about who deserves to be punished Leila Fulton and pyrrhus You're listening to all things considered from NPR news At four 18 you're listening.
