constructive firmness and i hope it will allow us to reach the end to a satisfying result. >> reporter: despite the optimism tone, there are still details to work out. it is not yet a done-deal. and i'm also told even if they were able to do a deal right now there's still a lot of paperwork that needs to be worked on, and it would take some time. so the guidance i'm being given the earliest they could reach a deal is sometime later on monday. >> and there is also the issue of capitol hill. republican leaders saying today that even if an agreement is reached soon it first has to be approved by congress. >> he knows that the resolution of disapproval is likely to be introduced likely to be passed and likely to get over 60 votes. if he then vetoes that in order to sustain the veto he would need 34 votes which i'm referring to earlier and i think

unresolved issues, before a nooucialtion deal cannuclear deal can be achieved in vienna. officials giving athens until monday before being suspended there the eurozone. this time greece is almost out of money. it's sun nighttime for the look at the week ahead the race for the white house in 2016 is our topic because it is in full gear. on the democratic side hillary clinton is the front runner but all eyes seems to be on vermont senator, bernie sanders. it is sanders who made the rounds of the talk shows. >> the american people understand that establishment politics and establishment economics are not working for middle class and working families of this country and they want real change.
11:28 pm
>> i think we have to both grow the economy faster and fairer so we have to do what will actually work in the short term, the medium term and the long term. >> well, tomorrow clinton is expected to reveal the economic policy in a major speech she will make in new york city. restructuring the economy for the middle class. then on to meetings with congressional democrats. as smoor tell michael shure tells us it's going to be complicated. >> it's one she wants to make rather than one she has been called to make. her campaign is calling it a time out from the campaign trail but in fact she's going to be doing campaigning on her own black caucus, hispanic caucus and indigenous american caucus.
11:29 pm
that is not lost on sheila jackson lee of texas a member of the congressional black caucus. >> we are a body of members that have diverse districts, an important body of members and might i say an important part of america. she is to be complimented in recognizing that this is no time to not hear from people who are experienced and who are committed to this country and its values of democracy. >> and those values are exactly what hillary clinton wants to tap into as she takes this message around the country. she is starting in washington with these groups but trying to hold together a coalition coalition of voters that voted for the first time in 2008 or 2012 but voters that propelled barack obama to victory and those are voters that she's going to have to see come back to the polls. so while the campaign may say this is a time out from
11:30 pm
campaigning, it may in fact be the most important campaigning she does all summer. >> basil, thank you for being with us. she's going to capitol hill for policy meetings tomorrow, but with bernie sanders gathering crowds in the thousands isn't she going there to secure the base? >> i don't know if it's about securing the base, but securing a very very important constituency. they are the ones that control delegates. >> but if you're the proposed democratic front runner who had a huge lead not only in terms of apology numbers but also in terms of dollars raised for campaign, weren't they supposed to be in your pocket already? >> you can never take it for granted. back to 2008 she had a lot of members of congress, a lot of other leaders already. and some of them went to broim beforebarackobama before the actual
11:31 pm
election. a lot of these members have complained they haven't gotten a lot of support from barack obama. so now it's sometime for her to get their support and talk about how her administration might be different. >> bernie sanders and to some extent donald trump are gathering crowds because you stand for something either you stand for something or you stand for nothing. listen to bernie sanders on the sunday morning talk shows. take a listen. >> i want to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. the major majority of the american people want to do that. john boehner's memberships want to do away with the concept of the minimum wage. >> he says he wants to tax the big and wealthy people, several
11:32 pm
different issues that he was planning to outline. hillary clinton has been thinking about running or running for almost two years. why are we waiting to see what she really feels about the american economy? why do we have to wait? >> you have a sort of ebb and flow of a campaign. she's going to talk about the same kinds of issues that bernie sanders is talking about. and i think she'll have a little more detail than she's had previously. >> when you ask her about and i watched the cnn interview she did when she was asked about the economic plan, she said wait until monday. if you are running for president don't you already know what your plan is? just tell people. >> campaigns are organic organisms, they are full of life. you are waiting for other factors that don't involve just you. her campaign has i'm sure a plan
11:33 pm
how they're going to bring out some of these policy issues and i think in doing so you'll get the kind of detail people are looking for. if you do it all at once you may not have that detail. >> aren't you sure it might be yogi berra disaij have you deja vu all over again? bernie sanders went to iowa and she's not. >> presidential exainls campaigns are both symbolism and strategy. barack obama had a significant component of the party. bernie sanders is doing something similar. he's representing a part of the party that wants to hear a very, very strong voice. hillary clinton is also that voice but bernie sanders is a strategist who has got to win ohio and new hampshire.
11:34 pm
>> part of your stomach is turning and scratching your head and saying, here we go again. >> i'm a good democrat, this is family. whoever will be victor will be president of the united states coming out of a democratic primary. we have a very strong party and that i think is very very important right now. >> george bush once joked that the 1% was his base. in hillary clinton's case, it could be argued that it is her neighbor in the hamptons. why would a woman who made tens of millions of dollars in her life as a public servant when she doesn't take the public bus and do what the public do? >> first of all, i don't know a person of that level that takes the public bus. >> it's just an illustration. >> i understand but sometimes i think there is an expectation we put on them that we should not have. i think she's been talking about issues affecting the middle
11:35 pm
class affecting the poor for her entire career. >> if someone is running and says i'm there to help you as one of the people why shouldn't the people expect them to be like the people? >> i don't expect the president to have grown up next to me in the bronx. >> why? >> not everybody could grow up like i do. but the people for whom i vote, that those individuals actually speak to the issues that i care about. they help me or other members of my family get the same opportunity they have. it's not like poor people don't want things that rich people do, poor people want to be rich. i think hillary clinton is speaking to that as well as bernie sanders is. >> isn't that a political talking point? we had that man from hope, he didn't run as omill oa millionaire.
11:36 pm
just like you and me at that time he was just like you and me. are we now changing the narrative on hillary clinton because she's rich? >> no, i don't think so. what's important for barack obama as the community organizer turned senator turned president and bill clinton is authentickivity. awe then tiftaweauthenticity. oops being a champion of both the poor and the milt class. even those she didn't grow up a certain way i think folks are dharvel she can speak to those issues come into those area and speaks to those residents.
11:37 pm
>> why should any union support a democratic candidate or for that matter hispanics or minorities, the case could be made that they are worse off now than during bill clinton or barack obama. >> if you look at the candidates right now the republicans have consistently especially in the case of scott walker talked about dialing unions back. >> are they choosing the less are of two evils? >> i don't think they're choosing the lesser of two evils. they need a champion. in the case of the american federation of teachers they're trying to get on the band wason of hillary clinton hoping she can change the conversation away from common core and teacher organization he that have been problematic for a lot of their members. >> how many times do they hope for champions before they have the cause? the number of jobs and steel mills that have been closinged
11:38 pm
in places like pennsylvania and cleveland and detroit cities that are now bankrupt in the case of detroit. how long do unions have to wait before they get what they voted for? >> i think some of it is true based on an older model of how unions have operated and organized. what's happening now unions are finding strength in organize fast food workers in the conversation of moving folks increasing their minimum wage has even pushed walmart to raise their wages. i do think there are union victories, maybe not in the way we used to think of them but they are there. >> baz il, former advisor to hillary clinton, thank you for being with us. >> scott walker is expected to announce his candidacy for president tomorrow. he makes it official monday evening, walker is set to join

11:44 pm
shift in this literate hero of be "to kill a mockingbird,"," what do you make of this new image? >> it's a little perplexing. it's not just that atticus is an advocate for state's rights. you would almost expect that for a man of his generation in the south that he would be -- he'd have his back up about the federal government coming in and telling white southerners how to live. it's that atticus spouts a lot of theories that sound straight out of a eugenics textbook. atticus discovers he has been reading a book called the black plague and she accuses him of being no better than hitler. >> this is a graifer graifer graifs
11:45 pm
grave departure. how are they going to reconcile the change in go set a watchman? >> even though it supposedly was written before "to kill a mockingbird," it's being described as some sort of first draft of "to kill a mockingbird" even though it's set later. i think teachers will have to use go set a watchman to talk about the variety of responses of white southerners to brown versus the board of education. that's referenced in the novel so we know the current time of the novel is sometime after 1954. i think novel can be useful in terms of discussions about how people who are essentially good can have very distorted very bad
11:46 pm
ideas about race. it's not anywhere near the masterpiece "to kill a mockingbird" is. in terms of literary value i think it's a hard novel to reach, it is not that well written. but the vision of race and the arguments about race that it gives us in america in the 1950s it's a useful novel. >> all right maureen corrigan with npr's fresh air, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> a gift to syrian refugees from malala yousafzai who turned 18 today. malala became a symbol of defiance in 2012 after she was shot on a school bus in pakistan. last year she became the youngest recipient of the nobel

11:48 pm
the threat is never over until we rebuild the health sector. >> the world today is more ever connected than ever before. and virus diseases just like terrorism know no national boundaries. >> reporter: here in the west of guinea near the border with sierra leone deaths are down from the height of the epidemic which has claimed more than 11,000 lives but throughout the region there are still about a dozen new cases a week. >> response and recovery are so intertwined, you've got to get health services back in place again. if there's going to be trust among the people returning. and if lives and livelihoods are going to get back to normal. >> rebuilding the health care
11:49 pm
systems, underfunded before the epidemic, is difficult. countries have been stepping up to the microphone and making pledges. the united kingdom alone promised $100 billion in money and debt relief. fledgling democracies which have seen their gdps plummet. with complaints about corruption and misspent aid money aid organizations say transparency and accountability will also be necessary. >> the path forward for recovery just as the path for fighting ebola itself is going to have to involve engaging communities more. actually making sure that citizens can track the funds and weigh in and complain when they're not getting services that they deserve and holding governments and donors and even ngos accountable.
