all of this comes as the special counsel's investigation enters a new phase, with the indictment of mr. trump's lonime adviser roger stone. for analysis of what is and is not in the latest indictment and what may be next, we turn now to ryan goodman, a professor of law at new york university school of w. he is also the founding co- editor in chief of the website just security which focuses on u.s. national security law and policy. thanks for joining us. so, what was the significant part? what did you learn out of these indictments? >> so i think the most significant part that we din' know before is just howin icated the relationship was between the campaign and roger stone. so, he had formally lefhe campaign months earlier, but it seems apparent that the specials counsel knhat he was in regular communication with senior trump campaign officials, and then on a specific mission to g information about, if not actually get the stolen email documents tt wikileaks had. so that changes the complexion

of our understanding, in so respects, of the russia investigation, because if roger stone is acting essentially s an agent of the trump campaign, it can implicate the campaign self legally. >> sreenivasan: the white house's line in response to this is "no collusion. where else the proof that we knew what te russians were doing and we were working in concert with them?" >> in this particular instance, the facts that are alleged the special counsel in terms of what the truth is versus what roger stone testified about to congress, so what the truth is there are data points there that you could look at to see whether there was coordination. roger stone was told by his inteediary that wikileaks has information about hillary clinton's health upon and then is told by thaintermediary to refocus the campaign's messaging around clinton's health, which they do. even to the point at the nd of the month, chris matthews of msnbc is saying, what's happenin there's a major pivot in the

campaign. why is this going o? we nowow at the beginning of august they were told by e intermediary, who apparently met with asawmple, this is going to be a document dump in the future. that coordination with wikileaks you can see evidence of in the indictment. >> sreenivasan: what does roger stone? he said he's never been in communication. >> i think he's in a world of trouble, so much so i think he might have tohi seriously about pleadin pleading and coop. one example is apparently on the ls congressat he t that he has no text messages or emails with person 2, he has 30 text messages that day, according to the indictment, with person number 2. it's pretty cleand that's devastating. so i don't really understand what his game is a this point, except for this other wild card of a pottial pardon o something like that. >> sreenivasan: what does this teach you about how mueller's investigation is progressing, maybe the legal framework that he's operate within, or stretching toward to include?

>> so, i think it does suggest that mueller might have mu bigger revelations in store. what several former federal prosecutors have said is hed cove actually charged conspiracy to coordinate campaign messaging with wikileaks. roger stone actually doesn't just say he wantso get information from wikileaks, but he wants to get the documenpe. that's witon number 1, he says, "get the stolen emails." with person number two he sends very specific document request. he wants wikileaks to give a specific document session when she was secretary of state and her policy over libya. that could be arged as a federal election campaign law violation, solicming soething of value from a foreign national. if you were trying to read the tea leaves, there's a good likelihood that's the directiond this might go they're accumulating these people. they did a search warrantn roger stone's home, roger stone, if he flips and cooperates can say who his conversations were

th on the campaign and say more about the convention wikileaks. there might be a lot more here over the coming months. >> sreenivasan: all right, ryan goodman, from nyu school of law and the justice security blog, thank you very much. >> tha you. ns sreenivasan: more nat joined the united states today to demand new elections in venezuela. at a u.n. security council meeting this morning, secretary of state mike pompeo urged support for juan guaido who declared himself president on wednesday. pompeo called present nicolas maduro's government a" illegitimate mafia state." >> now it's time for every other nation to pick a sid no more delays. no more games. either you stand with rces of freedom or you're in league with maduro and his mayhem. >> sreenasan: france, britain, spain and germany said they will recognize guaido unless venezuela calls new presidentian elections wiight days. ovw york times reporter ana vanessa herrero ising the developments in caracas and she joins us now via skype. ana, we ave a situation now where you have multiple parties, multiple countries from the outside recognizing guaido as the president, and then at the eame time, you've got t

military that has expressed, at least publicly, their support for nicolas maduro. >> we have-- we are witnessing what venezuelans know very well-- two venezuelans, two different alities in the same country. we now witness two precedents, but before, we had two sreme courts-- one in exile and one in the country. and two attorneys general-- one in exile and one in toheuntry. and the thing that caught ourn attent that even though the defense minister said thae the is against nicolas maduro, and nicolas maduro also said the same thing, juan guondo is stilhe streets. he's still out there. he's still calling people to the streets. he still gathers a lot of people. he called for another-- a huge demonstration next wednesday. and he's still, you know, out there, just doing what he said he was going to do-- stay there until maduro is out of the

presidency. >> sreenivasan: what is the situation on therdstreets? ress of what's happening politically. your economy is in freefall, food is ha >> right. >> sreenivasan: i mean, describe what it's like, despite the politics. >> well, that hasn't changed at all. if anything, it's getting worse. we are talking about a hyperinflation that is projeed according tllion p the minister of finance. just to translate into everyday life, we're talking about prce changing nearly every day, sometimes even in th supermarket which is something i have witnessed being in the supermarket and checking the price two or three times, and hesee how ty change it over an hour. and let's not forget, ts is a country that is reaching up to 70% poverty. ilies talking about fam that eat only just one meal a day, and even that, they have to share. a minimum wage that is about $

$6-$8 a month. now the poicare just pushing towards the edge. >> sreenivasan: you know, i want to ask in theontext of this hyperinflation, when the value of the currency keep diminishing, does this affect the loyalty of the troops whose paychecks are also becoming worth less and less?>> well, that is what experts xay is happening, ectly that. and that is why the defense minister, when he-- when he spokemmediately after a congressman in exile, jumped to twitter and said, "wait a minute. because this persothat just appeared on tv-- the defense minister, that is-- doesn'tt represe troops. he represents the high-ranked officials who are involved in criminal activities, w united states has sanctioned already. but the troops arehe real

movement that, according to him and o the opposition, are with the opposition. they don't like this anymore. they want a change. is this realing to happen? well, we really don't know.us behigh-ranking officials have much-- too much power. t's not fget we're talking about a 20-year regime giving power and money and business to the military. for the opposition, it's very complicated what they're looking for, what they're asking of the military. >> sreenivasan: all right, "new york times" reporter ana vanessa herrero joining us vi skype from caracas tonight. thanks so much >> thank you for having me. >> sreenivasan: glass ceilings are always hard to crack, and the one that stands above symphony conductors in the classical music world is nohe different fromest. but women are slowly rising in

the ranks of the nation'ss. smaller ensemb and tomorrow, at a performance by the san francisco civic symphony, one such woman will take to thwspodium. pbs ur weekend's special correspondent joanne jennings hathe story of one maestro journey from a poor neighborhood in east los angeles to the rostrum in san francisco. this story is part o ongoing series about poverty and opportunity in america, "chasing the dream." ( orchestra playing ) >> reporter: it'the first rehearsal of the season for san francisco's civic symphony. the all-volueer orchestra is composed of some 90 amateur musicians, ranging in om 18 to 80. >> some of them are retired; some of them are students; a lot of professionals either in the tech industry, in the arts, business owners, lawyers, doctors, you name it. seheavy on the accents, pl hmm? ah! ( orchestra playing ) >> reporter: at the helm is 38-year-old jessica bejarano.

she's not your typical classical music conductor. >> being that i grew up in a poverty-stricken city of los angeles, predominantly hispanic, classical music wasn't a thing. f was not a thing. so, it wasn't parte public school education. it wasn't part of my family tradition. it wasn't part of, you know, parties that we would go to. we wouldn't go to the symphony hall. like, that wasn't a thing.tr exorchplaying ) >> reporter: thean american conductor was raised by a single motctr in a tough n of east los angeles. >> she worked three different jobsnd raised, you know, my brother and my little sister. and she did the best that she to... to give us the best life that she could. i clearly remember, you know, when it was trash nights, my mother and my aunt would literally walk around the city and collect cans and bottles to recycle them. they would collect, you know, broken applices that they

would fix and sell at a yard sale or at a swap meet. and i remember at that point feeling very ashamed andba assed that my mother was a... a trash digger. >> reporter: while her mother worked hard to keep food on the table, at ten years old, bejarano developed an interest in music. >> it kept me engaged in school. it kept me looking forward to the next day where i can pull out the trumpet out of the case and play in the band. >> reporter: you've said that music saved your life. i mean, was... is it that dramatic? >> i woulday it was very dramatic because, you know, unfortunately, kids get arrested, kids are mur kids are imprisoned, kids get pregnant, you know. and so, i defied all those odds. i didn't become any of thoseat tics because music was always there to keep me, youon know straight path. >> reporter: bejarano played trumpet in her high school's marching band, but she wasn't ntposed to classical music she enrolled in an orchestral class at pasadena city college. o so, i'm sitting there playing the trumpet in thestra and just playing this repertoire and

heing the music around me. it was just like, "oh, my god, what is this? what wais this?" instantly drawn to... to the music, to the ensemble, to the setting,o the whole experience of it. >> reporter: bejarano decidebe she wanted t conductor and a music educator. she was awarded a scholarship at the university of wying and earned a master's degree at u.c. davis. but despither achievements, bejarano wasn't always taken seriously. >> i remember, at one point, i was asked if i was serious about being a conductor. and i said, "yeah, absolutely." and the teacher proceeded to say, "maybe you should go back to your country because it's not going to happein mine." and i was told that the lesson was done, and i was asked to leave the office. and i... i remember leaving confused more than anything. i wasn't upset. i wasn't angry. i wasn't sad i didn't cry. like, i was just like in a daze of, like, did that just happen? >> reporter: did it you more determined? >> oh, of course! i allowed every experience to

teh me something. every time i was told "no, you can't be a director" or "no, not going to happen here," instead of, you know, feeling deflated, i would take that "no" or that negative energy and use it to catapult me even further into my career. even further into, you know, myr ms becoming a reality. it was more of an honor to, like, have the opportunity toer actuallyrm here. >> reporter: in a field dominated by men, bejarano dreams of eventually leading one of the nation's largest opchestras. in 2007, marin aas appointed music director of the baltimore symphony orchestra, making her the first woman to hold such a position. >> and since then, she's still the only woman that is music director of a tier one orchestra. and i just don't understand why it's been so difficult for women, and i'm hoping that it will change as time unfolds. ( student orchestra playing )te

>> repr: when she's not conducting, bejarano can be found teaching music at university high school in san francisco. >> short, and then long. ( student orchestra playing ) >> reporter: woven into her lessons are stories about the composers whose music her students are playing. take, for example, tchaikovsky. >> the story of this man and what he went through in russia-- and him being, you know, a gay man-- and his only vehicle of expression, his only way of loving was through his music. ( student orchestra playing ) and when you listen to his music, you feel it, you hear it. ( student orchestra playing ) ( orchestra playing ) >> reporter: for bejarano, some compositions are deeply personal, like beethoven's piano concerto #5.tr ( orchplaying )

>> i would listen to the second movement of the beethoven piano concerto every morning, and it was like a source of inspiration for me. it..it would... it motivate me. it was like my musical wheaties, you know, and it helped meti transi. it... it.... for me, that piece also saved my life. >> reporter: how so? >> it gave me peace, it gave me inner beauty, and it would give me momentum for the day. ( orchestra playing ) >> reporter: and so, when bejarano's mother fell ill in 2012, it felt natural to play it for her. >> i remember i played that movement for her before sh passed away, thinking that because it saved my life, it would save her life. and i played it for her, and it didn't save her life. and so, i was mad at musicfo .. after that for a while. now, as an adult, you know,g

lookck at what my mom did, the sacrifices that she made to give us li give us a fighting chance-- what a woman. what a woman! ( orchestra playing ) >> reporter: it took a year for bejarano to return to her music. >> i got back into the swing of... of my life with even more momentum and... and even more thirst.tr ( orchplaying ) >> rorter: this past october for the first time since her mother's death, bejarano brought beethoven's piano concerto #to the stage. >> the fact of us putting it together and on stage is... a pretty big deal for me. ( orchestra playing ) like, i am back in music, and i'm... i'm good. i'm ready. ( orchestra concludes ) ( applause )

>> sreenivasan: as we reported earlier this month, asian carp-- the fast-growing, invasive species in lakes and rivers throughout the mississippi basin-- have become a major issue in the midwest, and officials are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to stopro thementering lake michigan. one strategy: pay fisherman and get people to eat the carp. it's not normally a fish dish iu america, but tversity of illinois at urbana-champaign is serving up thousands of pounds of asian carp a year, fillingie oudents' bewith a cheap and local sourcef protein while helping solve a major invasive species pro >> we got some bigheads, grass carp and silver carp. i'm clint carter, and i'm aci commer fisherman. we caught fish today in peoria, illinois. we caught about 4,000 pounds. we went out about 7:00 in the morning, and there were seven fi brought here today.

these fish were alive about ur hours ago, so they're fresh. i've been working with of u. of i. for probably around three years now. >> in my career, i never met the fisherman that actually caughte sh, and it's great to know who the fisherman is. i'm soohwa yu. my title is production chef at the pennsylvania avenue dining hall. in the midwest, it's hard to get fresh fish. fortunate to have clint bringing the fresh fish as we need it, all the time. >> thank you. >> my name is kit smith. i'm the assistant director of dining for procurements. we have a sustainable seafood program. the silverfin, the carp, is part that program. the issue is in our own backyard. we figured that we have a goodur of protein with our own river system, so we wanted tota take adv of that and help solve the issue that we have with the... the species. >> these fish are very widespread. ofey're causing a lo trouble.

th so, eating them, you know, not thonly reduces the risk fo great lakes, but creating a demand for them puts people like me out there to get them out ofn the water d let other fish bounce back the entire 20- plus states they've actually taken over, so... >> the two biggest chaenges: one is obviously the previous reputation that the fish has had nker the years. people used to tarp, they'd think muddy or bottom feeder. you may hear the term "trash fish," but we prefer the term "underloved fish." the other big hurdle is theam nt of bones. it's a very bony fish. >> this fish is a little difficult to wk with because there's a lot of bones on it. today, i've prepared the japanese-style, chinese-style, and like aouth american-style. the japanese style is just like a smoked carp with a bed of rice, served with green tea. deep-fried carp we do it like cantonese-style. and carp cake, silverfin slider, we do it once a week. >> we're averaging about... anywhere from about 9,000 to

11,000 pounds a year, but it m grows month th as we get more recipes. the current college students gen z, they're more open to diverse and new food experiences. it's just trying the box, trying something different. a lot of time is just getting people to try that first bite. >> that's my favorite, thiigone. >> all r, awesome. thank you so much. >> you're welcome! >> invasive species are always a huge problem. i mean, i think since there's a... there's a surplus of this, i think it was a really greaty use it. and i loved the dish. >> uh, no, i did not know s anything aboverfin. something brand new to me that i never knew about. and it's actually really delicious. >> i'm almost out of fish, so seems like everybody enjoyed it. so, i'm almost out of fish, so... which is good. >> for some of the recipes used to prepare asian carp at the university of illinois at urna-champaign visit pbs.org/newshour.
