"If this escalates Higher gas prices for example That's right And the other thing so on one hand as you spell that way this certainly does not feel like it's in line with what Joe Biden was wanting to do when it came to foreign policy especially orienting that approach to American voters to the American middle class through framing things around China but the other hand one thing that Joe Biden talks a lot about is really that he sees this existential struggle between authoritarianism and democracy right now and certainly Vladimir Putin moving a 150,000 soldiers as Biden set the number today Onto the border of a rival of a neighboring country is a very good framework for Joe Biden to have that conversation about a democracy versus autocracy and you have repeatedly heard Biden talking about the fact that NATO and western nations are more united than they've ever been before This has been an opportunity for Joe Biden to talk to his peers in Western Europe over and over and over again and get on the same page That real quick from The White House point of view What next What do we watch for in the next few tense days You have heard off ramp off ramp off ramp off ramp over and over and over again from the briefing room from the president just now certainly they are looking to have diplomatic conversations But as Biden mentioned today it is tough to see how that exactly happens when that one thing that Putin wants more than anything Ukraine to be permanently out of the NATO picture is something Biden has said is not going to happen He said again today that nation's futures are up to those nations to decide not outside circumstances Scott Detroit thank you Let's go to Frank Langford briefly in key Frank NATO is very much at the center of this We know that alliance was formed to deal with Soviet aggression decades ago earlier we heard Putin's red line was Ukraine joining NATO how is all this impacting the alliance now I think at this point it's actually probably impacted it pretty well And it's not working out too well for president Putin I mean the thing that he doesn't want is more troops anywhere near his borders and he's actually going to get more of them now As Michelle was talking Nate is going to be sending more troops into parts of Eastern Europe And so one of the things if you spend time around blossoms and I've been covering NATO off and on over the last few years is they say that Vladimir Putin in some ways gives them helps them focus when he does these sorts of things and helps kind of give an alliance that after the end of the Cold War has struggled with its own identity It sort of gives it renewed purpose And even today it was interesting listening to secretary general Jens Stoltenberg He had really hard words tough words of the Russians saying yeah they say they're pulling back troops We don't see that at all on the ground And so there was a lot of skepticism coming out of Brussels What I will be interested in to see particularly with Scott was talking about is in these negotiations that are coming up between the Russians and the Americans and NATO does what does Vladimir Putin get out of this And does it come anywhere near the sorts of things that he's been asking for And I think that that will be very interesting to see And frankly let me ask you a quick question about Putin we've talked on our shows about some analysts suggesting Putin is actually managed to unite the NATO allies in this case Countries that don't normally agree with and one another Well that's been the line in Brussels for years That basically taking over Crimea was actually a very good thing for NATO I mean bad for obviously a lot of people in Crimea were bad certainly very bad for Ukraine But he was absolutely seen as helping to unite NATO and it's not easy to always hold together 30 very different nations with different points of view and different pieces of geography here in Europe But president boot seems to be able to do that sometimes Michelle Kellerman it feels appropriate to give you the last word here as our diplomatic correspondent because this is all about diplomacy That is what everyone is saying they want Diplomacy with a 150,000 troops involved Well it's reminding me of something when I was in Ukraine reporting recently the foreign minister there told me look yeah there are all these troops on our border but we keep being told they're going to invade and yet the days keep passing and they haven't his takeaway was it means diplomacy works It sounds like everybody's hoping he's right there Yeah I mean the problem is that how much is this just about responding to this moment of this big show of force by Putin and how much does this encourage continued big shows of forces from Putin in the future you know that they'll only negotiate when Putin does something like this So we'll have to see One of those time will tell a moment Thank you Michelle there at the State Department Thank you All right that is going to do it for our live special coverage In a moment we will return to our regular programming which much with much more analysis of the president's speech on air and at NPR

So then is walk back the right phrase because you still saying also that he wants the bipartisan infrastructure bill as well as a much larger bill passed through reconciliation. Lot of this is kind of ambiguous. I would say the big important change here is that he is no longer saying that he only gets that relatively smaller, bipartisan bill. He'll veto it. Look, you do not want to be issuing 600 word clarifications. Two days after you say something in your politician, right? But again, this is this is two things it wants. It's incredibly hard. He's simultaneously trying to pass something bipartisan to prove that governing can still work and also satisfy progressives who want to see Biden continue on this path of new deal style expansions of government but doing it with razor thin majorities. So he's trying to push for both of these bills to be passed by two very different coalitions of lawmakers at once during it on a tight timeline and during a period in an administration where were traditionally historically some of that momentum of the early days starts to wane. So this is an incredibly tough act that we're gonna be talking about a lot over the next few months. All right. Also big this week was Vice President Kamala Harris going to the border? It's been a tough issue for the Biden administration. She's been criticized for waiting five months to go there as she was tasked with actually dealing with the border situation. So what did this visit a chief? Honestly, politically, it mostly just took it away and attack. The Republicans were repeatedly leveling on her and Biden probably not much beyond that. Harris did not make any major new policy announcements or anything like that. You know, When will you go to the border is a question Harris got just about every time she interacted with with reporters based on how Republicans were criticizing her for this, and at the same time, the administration is under increasing pressure from immigration advocates for not making changes to trump era policies fast enough. Harris went to El Paso. She visited some sites, and she made a point of speaking to reporters and saying, This cannot be boiled down to a story about optics and politics and visits. This is a real issue. It affects Children. It affects families, and it's going to be a long term solution. That's NPR. White House correspondent Scott Detroit. Thank you. Thank you. Because of the pandemic. There's been a fear that students lost serious learning time this year, so many districts returning to that old fashioned fix Summer school and they're adding some new twists. One such school is in Texas, the Grand Prairie Independent School District as part of our series learning curve, where we have heard from educators, parents and students during this pandemic. NPR's rosemary. Miss Dairy brings us this final report for our series April, Wyatt is an elementary school principal in Grand Prairie, a city between Dallas and Fort Worth. She says, after roughly a year of remote learning, many of her students just aren't where she'd like them to be. It is no secret that the pandemic caused so many academic gaps, especially in math. Why, it says Grand Prairie teacher Taylor, Danny says Kids also need help with their social and emotional skills, how they need to communicate how they need to. Instead of just taking a marker. Can I ask for that marker? Because when your virtual you don't have to worry about sharing and doing all of those things, but their districts approach to summer school might surprise you. Because it feels a lot like that Other seasonal mainstay summer camp, for example, lunch sounds like this. All right, All right. Well, let's get this China. When principal why it wasn't cheerleading gym teacher Jonathan Casper was pumping the music. We got jams blasting off the wazoo. Everybody's dancing, flying like it's not your normal lunch the point, Casper says. It's summer schools got to be fun for kids to want to be there. The rule holds in the classroom to they will be creating their personal superhero. Patricia Lewis is Grand Prairie's associate superintendent each week they will be adding to that thing. They will name their superhero They make build a model of the superhero. They may create a song about that superhero. Lewis says her district talked up their approach with parents and students. They sent special invitations for an open house with a video of what the program would look like. They made phone calls to reach the district's most vulnerable students. And then there's the swag bag Kids get for registering in your swag bag. You got my camp T shirts you got My camp, water bottles, all types of little goodies. Principal Wyatt says. Even math will be more fun this summer because it's in person. What is it like instant performance? 100 Take a look at our hands.

"T V. TV crews in there capturing all of this, So this is very much the prelude for the big talks and and to your point, Scott Detroit, so, saying the U. S is saying, Don't expect any big breakthroughs here. The Russians are telegraphing the same thing. I think the question is This is not going to reframe reset what is a very difficult relationship. But might these talks opened the door to the next round of talks and the next one and finding some path some common ground between these two countries? Scott Detroit. When you talk with White House officials did they seem optimistic even about that goal of stability. Never mind big agreements or big changes, just stability. I don't know if I would say that they keep saying that's their goal, and I think a lot of allies, you know. Michael McFaul, former Obama administration ambassador to Russia, has said. I think that they are wrong and hoping for a stable, predictable relationship. I just don't know if it's possible. The White House has said, though, that President Biden wants to have conversations wants to be in the room. He is somebody who has decades and decades and decades of experience. Sitting in the room with people. And to him that is the heart of international relations is just one on one conversations, so he's trying to have one right now. Though, this topic list we could fill the rest of the hour of morning edition, listing the topics of conversation, so I'm very curious how much time they're going to spend on enormous talk topics like you know, nuclear stability, arms control when there are so many other things to talk about. Including. Of course, these ongoing ransomware and cyber attacks coming. The White House has been very clear to say from criminal organizations within Russia. That is something that has leapt to the top of the agenda for today for the Biden administration, based on these high profile hacks of labor Mary Louise, give us the last gimp of what glimpse of what you're you're seeing there. And now the day one, we are seeing the beginning of who knows how long these talks are going to be four hours, five hours less if they all go to hell more if they're making some progress. We're waiting and watching and they are underway here in Geneva at Villa le garage..

"It's been really difficult. These stories and the forecast and the numbers from Wall Street are coming up. It's 401. Live from NPR news. I'm Janine Herbst. President Biden has arrived in Geneva, where he'll meet face to face with Russian President Vladimir Putin tomorrow. As NPR's Scott Detroit reports The White House expects the meeting to last hours. A White House official says the summit could last five hours or more First, Biden, Putin, Secretary of state, Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will meet in a smaller session along with translators. After that larger staff will join on both sides. Biden and Putin will hold separate press conferences after the event, not a joint briefing. Like Putin and former President Donald Trump, held in Helsinki in 2018, the White House has a long list of topics to work through everything from cyber attacks to nuclear arms discussions. Biden administration is making it clear, though, that they do not expect any immediate major agreements to come from the talks. Scott Detroit NPR NEWS Washington The country has passed another pandemic milestone more than 600,000 people have died from Covid 19 in the US NPR's Allison Aubrey reports. This comes at a time when new cases of the virus have declined more than 90% since the winter highs. As the pandemic eases and people return to normal activities. There are still about 375 deaths per day in the U. S. That's nowhere near the few 1000 deaths per day throughout the winter. But it's a reminder of both how deadly the virus can be. And the importance of vaccination about 65% of adults in the U. S have gotten at least their first dose. Many states have surpassed a goal set by President Biden to reach 70% by July 4th. But experts say states that lag behind could be vulnerable to outbreaks. Allison Aubrey NPR News President Biden today unveiled a national plan to combat domestic terrorism.

The number of open FBI domestic terrorism investigations this year has increased significantly. According to an unclassified summary of the March intelligence assessment, the two most lethal elements of the domestic violence, extremist threat are racially.

How Will Climate And Health Policy Look Under Biden?
"An episode from the npr politics podcast about how climate and health policy might look under the incoming biden administration. Enjoy hey there is the npr politics. Podcast i should ask oh. I covered the white house from scott. Detroit biden transition. I'm jennifer ludden. I added gene environment. So jennifer ludden. You're here joining us. Thanks so much for talking with us. Hello hello i so joe. Biden has over and over emphasized climate as a central part of his administration. We're going to get into what that really means. But first let's start with what the last four years have looked like for climate policy because it really hasn't existed right jennifer. Well it's been very active sort of like in the reverse. I mean you know after going from president. Obama trump was like whiplash. And we're kind of head you know reverse whiplash again all those actions. That obama took in eight years. We have seen dozens and dozens of rollbacks of them. You know there was the paris climate accord of course and then Rules to bring down carbon emissions in power plants to make cars more fuel efficient To restrict development of wetlands and so forth. A lot of this has been challenged. You know we've had a lot of court cases and the trump administration has lost some of those but some are ongoing and you know another Maybe lasting climate legacy of president trump will be all the conservative court appointees he had including three in the supreme court which is where some of these Contested rules may end up but to be frank. Climate action has never really measured up to what scientists say. We've needed right. It's it's we as a country have fallen shore true. I know so much You know obama had so many fights about getting his measures passed and they're really inadequate. But i will say so much has changed in the past four years. It's pretty remarkable. I'm we have been sort of hanging out in limbo reverse but the rest of the world and a lot of us cities and states have just been on fast forward You have seen countries. City states Businesses industry utility companies established. These incredibly ambition as ambitious goals of not only reducing carbon emissions but trying to go for zero carbon in the next few decades. This has been driven by a major shift in public opinion. Huge ramp up. In extreme weather disasters more americans are feeling this viscerally in their lives wa the hurricanes the fires the heat. And so you know. It's pretty clear that just bringing back what obama had managed to pass is not going to be nearly enough. And that's the way that that biden talked about this throughout the campaign and it's the way that the various advisers and Cabinet picks and cabinet level special positions is created are viewing this like the overwhelming view of the people who will be setting policy is the world is on the clock. The us has wasted years on this effort and they need to radically overhaul the entire power sector over a decade and a half and then keep going and totally transformed the country's economy by twenty fifty and that's basically to almost the bare minimum of what is needed according to experts to stave off the worst of a warming planet. When you look at you know how you're going to deal with this issue. Obviously you have the power sector which is a huge amount of the carbon comes from that you also have the transportation. The way we fuel our cars and trucks that comes from fossil fuels. What is biden looking to do. Is he going to phase out all coal. We're going to go to auburn noble energy. We all know that you know. The sun doesn't shine all the time. When doesn't blow all the time. How does that work and in president trump would always say you know. I can watch cable because the wind's not blowing honey. Some of these fast forward are more straightforward than others right like just to take vehicles and and emissions that's an area where it is pretty straightforward and You have. I wouldn't even call it. Reluctant agreement right from a lot. Lot of big auto manufacturers is that fair to say jennifer like it's kind of like acceptance of like yes yes in conjunction with states like california and the federal government. Which has the right to do this getting back. On pace to having stricter emissions higher mileage standards so cars are using less gasoline and then hopefully sooner rather than later aren't using gasoline
