he's a white supremacist fascist he has no respect for women, for people of color or anything else you can think of besides himself >> he'sng up a lot of what this country believes in and we invited him here and we're giving him all this pomp and circumstance and normalizing his behavior, and it's messed up. >> reporter: the president returned the favor by taking aim at rea number of notable fi in his host city. he renewed a feud with london mayor sadiq khan, tweeting that he was a "stone cold loser." he in royal family and he shattered diplomatic protocol by in getting involved in british domesic politics. s is a city and a nation in turmoil. this week prime minister yeresa plans to step down as leader of her party. britain is supped to leave the european union in just four months. but there's no agreement key issues. >> couldn't be a more worse time imforo visit. >> i mean really he couldn't have come at a more awkward time. >> reporter: the president criticized may's handling of breshxit, sayinhad not been tough enough.

>> u.k. allowed the european union to have all the cards, and it's very hard to play well when one side has all the advantage. >> reporter: president trump offered his take on who should replace may. he said ex-foreign secretary and brexit supporter boris johnson would make a "excellent" leatir of the co party, or tories. he's a colorful, controversial former journalist and mayor of london. johnson wants to reopen brexit talks with the e.u., but if that faiayls, hehe would support leaving with no deal. but even johnson is trying to chorare a delicate dance. >> but how useful is it for team borie s to his meeting at this stage? i'm not sure it is that helpful he might as he is trying to appemeal to more moderaters of his party want to distance himself from the us president during this trip. >> rerterthe president also hinted that he might stop sharing intelligence with the u.kde., if labour party l jeremy corbyn were to win the nexgeneral election.

>> nawaz: thousands of city employees gathered today at a virginia beach convention center to mourn friends and colleagues killed in friday's shooting at a government building. twee ople were killed, four others were critically injured. outside the building where the attocacrred, there are now makeshift memorials. we'll have our own remembrance shortly. police still haven't ovided a motive. but we learned this weekend that thepp shooter used a ssor attached to a .45-caliber handgun. the spressor lowers the sound of a gunshot, and its use has raisosed concern fo experts. among them, juliette kayyem, a former assistant secretary of land security during the obama administration. ove now teaches at harvard's kennedy school ofnment and joins us from boston. >> juliette kayyem, welcome back to the "newshour". you argue in ane od in "the washington post" that the use of a suppresser in this shootingre "tens to uphenned how we

understand and train for ho acte future.cases in the how did this change things for you? >> we commonly understand a suppresser as a silencer. it reduces the decibel level ywhere from 25 to 35 millimeters and distorts ere the gunhot may be coming from. we don't know the specifics in this case and what hpened virginia beach, but there is sort of firsthand quotes forom e in the building saying they had no awareness of what was happenippng. a sser can make it sound like metal -- like a metal chair across the floor that you don't know where it is. so why is this relevant? we don't see this often in th active shooter cases, it's actreually quite the assailant in this case clearly spent some time trying to get d a suppresser, u have to wonder why. the reason why it's disting for first responders is we train the public to, as we commonlery

unand it, to run, hide or fight, and the running and hiding are dependent on knowing, in fact, what's going on. any delay in a capacity for then potal bystanders or victims to run, let alone for the first responders to know wre they're running to, raises an additional wrinkle that a lot of us on theo outside areng at this case as sort of an unhappy surprise that we haven't een before. >> it's worth pointing out that, her many americans, unless you'vd gunfire before, you don't know exactly what it is you should be listensor. i remember after the christ church shooting, there are survivor kwho said w there are gunshots, that's why we kept praying, heard the same tter thousand oaks shooting, after the las vegas shooting, for example, people think they hear fireworks or fire crackers, does the suppresser reall py change hple react? >> so there's a debate about that and i think et probably depends on whethere peo have heard gunfire before. i'm not minimizing the assai cnt in te actually knew the

facility, that helped him considerably. but if you put that together with the silencer or the suppresser, you have a situation which not only do people not know how to respond, but, as importantly, the police officers and the first responders have both muted for noise level any capacity to know where that noise is coming from. this was a very, very long firefight. we are going to know a lot more about whahappened in the days to come as there are after-action reports. but, nonetheless, the reason i wrote that piece, is as ther is political movement to make the ability to get suppressers easier for american gun-owning public, it is worth those who oppose it knowing one of the impacts is going to be in our cacity to respond. in an active shooter case, there's not much people can do but run away, if you're a bystander or potential victim, or run to if you're a first

responder. >> nawaz: it's worth pointing out that it takes an an ex defense background check, much more than buying an average firearm, it can take up to seven or eight months. the shooter clearly crossed that hudle. what sort of regulation do you think would prevent that from happening? >> 42 states allow it, it is regulated under the national firearms act about a year and a half there was a movement on the hill to reduce or lower somhe of standards for background checks. that should absolutely not hapen and i think because you have house democrats pushing against it now, it probabl won't. nonetheless, there's, at least for many of us in this space, whether you are for or against guns, there is not a very good reason for there to be a major market for suppressers. a lot of people talk about your ears and when you're shooting, the noise level. there a actually alternatives in the market for ear muffs or

e equivalent of ear muffs that mute the sound. in other words, what we need to do is not lower those standards and then assess how did he get through this background check and whether we suldn make them more rigorous. on herehere's no ques that there's a movement to make it easier to get suppressers. virginia beach should be sort of a call that that not only harms people mo w.h.o. might be vitims but harms police from being able to get in quickly akn wing where the sound comes from. >> nawaz: every time we have one of these shootings and there is a call for a specific kind of reform, if pushback is wean't legislate away piece by piece our gun reform and ending gun violence. what do you say to that? >> sure we can. this is the mythology of gun violence and gun legislation. in states that have more rigorous gun law, they have less handgun violence, so there is a corcalculatn between gun

permissiveness and murders. but more importantly, as a homeland security issue, what i'm concerned about is do wee havpry that will kill a lot of people quicku ly? what int want the to do is minimize the ability of someone to do great harm very fas without the capacity for people to run away or be rescued. so i'm against semiauditsmatic rifles and, in tois case, limit the capacity for people to have suppressers which would harm first responders as much as it would harm potential victims absolutely key. we can do this piecemeal. do not let the perfect the enemy of the good, legislation has worked in the last and will the future. >> nawaz: juliett >> nawaz: we wanted to take a than >> thank you.th us. moment now and remember the 12 victims of the virginia beach wooting, with some memories and tributes from tho knew them best. robert williams was a special projects coordinator who, as a

otiend "had a lot of institutional knowledge." williams, according to another is sightsas setting on retiring this year to spend more time with family. friends have set up a gofundme page for the widow of herbert snelling-- a contractor in the building-- to help with funeral costs. friends say "bert wasur geous, kind and he loved his wife and jesus deeply." ryan keith cox loved to sing in church and is credited with saving lives in the building. here's how his co-worker christi dewar described what he did. >> seven of us were going to go out the break room door and keith was standing there and he said stop get upl gainst the wa quiet be still. get in lori's office now d rricade the office get in there and i saime on keith and he said i got to check on everybody else. >> nawa an engineer with virginia beach's public utilities department. enjoyed scottish music a joined a pipe band last fall called tidewater pipes and

that brought down a dictator. and a humble opinion on accepting compliments. it was another busy weekend for the crowd of 2020 democratic presidential candidates, with many of them flocking to a new anedd unexpect battleground state. >> there is no middle ground. >> nawaz: 14 democratic presidential candidates descended on california this weekend, rallying some of the state's most progressive voters at its democratic convention with promises of sweeping change. >> the riskiest thing we could do is try too hard to play it safe. >> nawaz: with a primary vote slated three months earlier than past presidelial races-- ifornia is poised to play it'ess biggt role yet in shaping the 2020 race. s up californi democrats? >> nawaz: home-stme senator kaala harris enjoyed a warm reception, but not everyone did. >> medicare for all may sound good, but it's actually not good poly r is it good politics.

>> we are seeing pushback against all the progress we've made toward equality. >> we want women to have a seat at the table. >> what about men? >> they're already there, do you not know? ( laughter ) >> nawaz: new york senator gillibrand, meanwhile, sparred with chris wallace in a fox news town hall, over women's rights and the network's abobartion coverage. >> what happens on fox news is relevant because they talked abouict infae for six and a half hours. 6.5 hours right before president trump's state of the union. >> nawaz: on the republican sid le, maryland governry hogan shot down a much- speculated 2020 run, saying he would not challenge president trump for the g.o.p. nomination. and that brings us to politics monday, which brings us to amy and tam. that's amy walter of the "cook political report" and host of the "politics with amy walter" podcast from w-nyc. and tamara keith from npr. she also co-hts the "npr politics podcast."

welcome to you both. you probably know this aeady, yesterday marked eight months exactly until the iowa caucuses. as johnston martin of the "rw yok times" pointed out, only waone democratic candidatein iowa this weekend. i wa to ask you about this map. the dots on here show how many candidates have made t least one stop in each of those tes. they've already visited 30 states and territories this cycle. amy, at thi point, in years past, that map looked very different. there was a lot of other cocentration in other states but fur candidates. when you have so many candidates gying attention, they will spread it out more. it tell us how nationalized this primary has begun. in 1992 no one chadle tom harkin in iowa running for presidentr

that yecause he was the senator from iowa. today, look how many democratic candidates doubt came to the home state of kama harris in california. the goal for so many of the candidates is because our media landscape is so nationalized, whether we'reetting it from this program, cable news or twitter streams, we're all gettinthe same news whether you sit in iowa, birmingham, alabama or california. so if you make a great speect h thts picked up and you get a viral moment from another stais, everyone in iowoing to be able to see that, too. >> well, tam, here's a fun fact. m" y "newsholleague pointed out, when you look at california, it's the only one of als those stat of the four major early states that half the candidate field has gone to, meaning no other state has had more visits from ten candidates. california's playing a different role this year. >> right, so california's traditional role, and came up reporting in california so i

know the traditional role well it is the a.t.m. candidates would go to l.a., palo at o beverly hills and you would never see them as a member of the press. they'd raise money and fly back, take that money, take it to iowa and new hampshire. now, california has moved -- they've done this many times, they've tried moving up their primary to gain relevance and this time they've moved up into guper tuesday. so they are a tate with a business prize of delegates, but don't put too much weight on those delegates because it's not a winner take all state, so even though they have a ton of delegates, they often end up being divided somewhat evenly, so it doesn't end up being the big pay load of delegates candidates would hope for. and the other thing is they had vote by mail.fa so, it, people in

california could start voting at the same time that people in iowa are caucusing, but what they won't know is whether candidates have made it out of ior -- out of iowa or new hampshire. so many people will probably wairkts vote by mai meaning some of the ballots may not be null gruel counted,o if it's close it could be a long time before anyone those know the results of the california primary. >> the other fact to remember in it's primary on the democratic side. so if you're registered- non-party preference is what they call independents in california, you can vote there. there are more non-party preference registrants in california than republicans, so those are a big pool of voters that don't show up to the butocratic convention democrats could target. but the early states iowa and new hampshire will play thero traditiona which is culling the fields and saying to

voters in california and all the other states coming up on super tuesday, these are the most viable candidates. >> we're still seeing the candidates spend a lot of time in those places. something track for sur i want to ask you about something else, an interview that aired last night with son-in-law of the president and seen your white house advisor jared kushner, a moment asked about when jared kushner was asked about donald trump's vocal support for the birther movement questioning president obama's citizenship. >> is birtherrisstm ra wasn't really involved in that. >> i know you weren't. was it racist ? like i said, i wasn't involved in that. >> i know you weren't. was it racist? >> i know who the president is and i've not seen anything in him that is racist. so, again, i was not involved in that. >> did yo wish he didn't do that? >> like i said, i was not involved in that, that was a

long time ago. >> what did you make of his refusal to awer? this is sort of a time-honored tradition in interviewing people ced to president trump in some way, whether economic advisors or a member of his own family or any, you know, cabinet members, you ask these reporters or members of congress in hearings, ask them, well, what do you make of this thing that the president did? do you disagree with the president's view on tariffs? and they squirm, they try not tans, a they don't wanto make the president mad, and, so, you end up with things like what happened there, which is a lot of people in the president's adnistration just don't want to cross the president, especially probably a member of his family. well, he tried to have it both ways. he didn't want to cross the president but didn't defend the president either. he didn't come out and say, that's not racist, the birtherrism thingisn't racist, so he's able to play both sides, right, to say i nuter came

and defended racism, but i also came outen and dd the president. >> it's worth saying we dn't hear a lot from jared kushner. a very senior role, a lot of influence, a ge portfolio, what do you make of him coming out now. >> they've covered a lot of ground, they also went very muco into th he has been doing on the middle east peace, working with palestinians and his relationship with the saudis, but at came across, to tam's point, he doesn't act or behave much differently than man iy other peop and around the trump orbit. so it's not th hat just becaue is the son-in-law that he has some sort of special thoughts o somethout him that makes him that much different than the other people in donal trump's orbit. >> some w after all thisnews, it's only monday still. a few more days too, but i wanted to ask you to look ahedad

ay what's your big story? >> the tariff issue is a big deal. the fact the mexican government, many top officials are in coshington trying to age the president not to put the tariffs into place. if they go into place, it'as rting june 10. the president's tweets both before he left and being in london suggest he is relishing a fight but we also know he hasto come u the line. beforbefore, he was going to cle the border completely between mexico and the u.s. now, backed off. but certainly with the markets and the industries, auto r industry, ople investing in the stock market, this is a very big question about whether these tariffs actually go into place. >> the deadline is june 10 he put into. what about you, tam? >> so amy stole my thing, but the other thing i'm watching is the disaster aid funding bill, it was supposed to be o a glide path. the president said i'll support it even though it doesn't have

border funding in it, and then it was in theory going to be passed by unanimous consent in the house. three different times rublican house members jumped up during recess and said, actually, no, i object, we can't pass this by unanimous consent, so the house will be back and in theory will easily pass with the democratic house, but the question is whether the president's view on the deal being okay has changed over that time. >> definitely one to watch. >> nawaz: amy walter, tamera keith, thanks fo beingere. >> you're welcome. >> nawaz: when special counsel robert mueller broke his silence last week, his main point was that his report speaks for itself. but the report is 448 pages long. it is dense, and many just don't have time to read it. so we're going to spend some time, every night this week, digging into what the report does, and does not say. william brangham and lisa desjardins will be our guides.

through two years of this investigation, through the indictment individuals and then spelled out clearly in his final report, robert mueller made one thing crystal russia attempted to interfere with our 2016 election. re's the last thing mueller said last week -- >>eindly close byrating the central allegation of our indictments that there were multiple systematic efforts to interfere in our election, and that allegation deserves the attention of every. america >> and, so, that's where we will start. volume one of his report, just er half of the total report, and it deals exclusively with what the russians did. >> mueller lays this out like the entire report, essentially a large outline saying russia attacked in two ways. he w,tes, fir that it carried out a social media campaign that faiferred presidential candidate donald j. trump, and second a russian intelligence service conducted

computer intrusion incidents against employees and volunteers wotoing on the cl campaign. translation, russia used the internet to fool american voters and hackers to attack democratic computer networks. >> according to mueller's report, the russian campaign began in mid 20 1rbg -- 2014 n grease to have the internet agency came to u.s. tgather material to be used in latter postings. this is the headquarters in st. petersburg, russia. >> by the end of 2016, russians set up fake social media account that reached millions of voters aimed at promoting trump or dividing americans. >> the russians createdeak hashtags mike kids for trump, bought thousands of onlineds, impersonated u.s. citizens and set up political rallies like a confederate rail yi in houston, made posters to promote a rally

in pittsburgh in 2016. >> this lace out how it ensnared real american operatives include trump and advisors and kellyanne conway all retweeted these fake accounts. page 34 showed a 24016 facebook post from candidate trump himself where heent organizers and promoted a rally in, but mural writes russians in the i.r.a. organizey that rnd even use a fake facebook account to brag that mr. trump posted about our event. >> according to the report, oi.r.a. staffers a posed as american citizens and tried to communicate withhe trump campaign to ask hem for assistance coordinating some of these fake rallies. but the report notes vethe igation has not identified evidence that any trump campaign official understood t requests were coming from foreign nationals, and mueller's investigators found no similar connections between the i.r.a. and the clinton campaign.

lo>> next, the repors at russia's hacking, concluding 's largest foreign intelligence service known as the gru attacked the democratic pad the clinton campaign. the investigation found the gru stole the password and identies of network administrators and used those to get access to democratic files. e report said the gru's operions extended beyond stealing material and included reasing documents stolen from the clint campaign and supporters. >> to release the materials the russians created online personas with names liked.c. leaks and guccfier 2.0 to establish a relation with wikileaks which then released the stolen files to the public.on age 45, mueller documented how in early july 2016 wikileaks contacted the russians privately on twitter saying, if you have anhing hillary-related, we wanted it in the next two daysra prefeble. then on july 22, three days

beforeratic national convention began, wikileaks released more than 20,000 e-mails and other stolen documents. it was a clear attempt to embarrass clinton and weaken her candidacy. >> timing is a constant theme in this report. the we after the democratic convention, mueller writes candidate trump made this emcontroversial stt -- >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that areissing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily b our press. >> now, prpeident trump edly insisted this was a joke, but mueller writes, within five hours ofandidate trump saying those words, the gru targeted clinton's personal office for the first time, notably mueller found no evidence thathe campaign knew that russians would respond, but the report showed for the first time how soon russians acted after the president spoke. >> there wre other new

revelations i the report as well. mueller says the russians directly targeted our election systems. they used cyber attacks against private technology firms thatio make ele software as well as officials in several states and coovernments. >> the question is did the russians' effort change o affect both? mueller opportunity address it, instead writing that t f.b.i., department of homeland security and states are still oninvestigating. final note about this part, this russian section is where you see some of the most heavili redacted pag the report, much blocked out because of ongoing invtigations. >> tomorrow night, we'll break down russia's outreach to the trump campaign, how mueller made his determination about the colonel conclusion and conspiracy issue, plus whatel r could not find. >> nawaz: we return now to the litary crackdown in sudan today, the worst violence since

the overthrow of the country's president in april. g john ys the latest. >> reporter: amna, the violence today targetedmohe center of a hs-long civilian movement that forced the downfall of the ulcountry's longtime omar al-bashir. esdozens were killed as prrs dodged live gunfire. the main opposition group d the military of committing a massacre. protesters ved to remain on e streets until the generals who replaced bashir in april hand power to a civilian-led government. opposition groups suspended talks with the military after today's crackdown. the u.s. embassy in khartoum urged sudanese forces to stop the attacks, and blamed the military for the violence. thfor more o we're joined by michael georgy, special middle east correspondent for reuters, who joins us by skype from khartoum. mr. georgy, thank for joining us. it's late monday night where you

'se now. whhe situation on the streets now? >> the streets are very quiet at the mome, but it started very violently today. the situation is very nse, at the moment, it's quiet. >> what led to today's events? at triggered the evnts? >> well, i think the mility lost patience, they have been in netiations that stalled, edthey wao stay in charge, even though there's a civilian government with protesters. >> is the main sticking point who will control the government in bhe interim periodore elections? >> yes, the main problem ie that litary wants to stay in control and basically dominate politics while the opposition forms some kind of government. >> as i understand, both sid agreed on elections in three years. it's a question opef what h

between now and then? >> yes, that's right. the transition is the issue. >> we've heard the opposition accuse the military of a massacre in this incident. what is the military's explanation? >> the military has downplayed the violence they've said th were attacking criminal anelementsthe they had at one powet announced the ready to resume talks but actually the opposition rejects this. they see it as a massacre. it's been the most violent attacks since bashir wased top in april, but it's clearly the gnal that the military is not going to compromise for now. >> based ton -- based on the reports and what you and your colleagues have been able to gather, how likely is the hat they explanation weren't targeting the protesters, they were targeting mecriminal es? >> well, it's clear they broke up the sit-in, which has been a huge symbol of resistance, so

t ere's no doeir aim was to disburse the sit-in. over, some protestrs have gone to other parts of kartun and it could escalate if it doesn't end. >> the military leaders have gotten support from regional powers like saudi arabia, egypt, le united arab emirates, they've met with tders of the military who are now in power, what's at stake for those regional powers in sudan? t> the regional powers are concerned ab political islam specifically in the muslim idbrotherhood across thee east. sudan of course has 30 years of rule by islam, so they want to rule out the is -- rout root out islamist. after the coup they promised billions of dollars and there have been mov by members of canals to saudi arabia and

u.a.e. a egypt, so it's obvious they have full support in those countries which means the miliry really doesn't need to make concession at th point. >> michael georgy, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> nawaz: and we'll be back shortly with an essay on how to take a compliment. fibut, take a moment to hear from your local pbs station. 's a chance to offer your support, which helps keep programs like ours on the air. >> nawaz: for those stations staying with us, we have an encore report of a story we first brought you in 2017, about a podcast pruced entirely from san quentin prison. e of the show's co-hosts was released last november, after serving more than 20 years behind bars. jeffrey brown went back to california to catch up with him and find out what's next for the

hit podcast. >> reporter: we first met woods in 2017, when he was an inmate >> the routines of daily life are anything but. these days,he chooses when to wash the dishes, check e-mails, pack a lunch. no more tiny cell, hordes of other men, strip searches. we first met woods in 2017, when he was an inma >> reporter: we first met woods in 2017, when he was an inmate at sanuentin prison. he was serving a 31-year-to-life sentence f attempted second degree robbery. and along with san francisco- based artist nigel poor, he was ofthe co-host ear hustle"-- odthe hit prx podcast pruced entirely from san quentin that gave a rare and intimate feel for life behind bars.

>> reporter: with an on-air rapport like lifelong friends, the pair gathered stories and interviews from inmates in the yard. the show picked up millions of listeners over three seasons, covering everything from cellmates to death row. but perhaps the show's biggest nomoment came this pasmber: >> we got some breaking news, earlonne. ( laughs ) it's the day before thanksgiving, and today you got some amazing news. >> after 21 years in prison, governor brown, the great governor of california-- >> absolutely! >> decided that i served enough time in california state

prison, and he commuted my sentence to be released >> reporter: woods has been paroled to oakland, where he's received housing through "re- prstore justice," a noit even his daily commute is a novelty. >> i take it in like the average person might you know don't take it. i mean they might take raeverything fored. i sit here and observe. >> reporter: in his commutation letter, jerry brown, who just finished his tenure as governor, said woods "set a positive plexfor his peers and, through his podcast, has shared meaningful stories from those inde prison." it says mr. woods is "clearly no longer the man he was when he committed this crime." true? >> very true, very true. when i got locked up in 1997 my mind, it was just like a light switch just, just flipped like i'm done with that side of life. i'm done with the crime, i'm done with the gangs, i'm done with everything. you know i forward in my life and just do me. today i'm probably back that e eight-year-old dused to

know. you know but i'm just older w and so i'm back to my authentic self. >> reporter: that "authentic self" is clearly what appealed to so many lteners of "ear hustle." and woods now has a full-time position with prx to continue working on the podcast. he'll be based at the offices of "reveal" at the center for investigative reporting in emeryville, california. nigel poorill keep going to san quentin, working with a new -ht and new challenges. or>>e the challenge is going to be how do we keep the intimacy of the project. now that we literally have the world in front of both of us to do various things with i >> reporter: one issue the two e will tacklis based on wood's new reality: the process of re- entry to society. and on the day we sited, woods and poor were tweaking their scripts for a special "ear hustle" episode featuring an iew with governor brown

recorded after t commutation. o you're listeningspecial unplanned abbreviated episode of "ear hustle." >> reporter: you've got to think about ear stle podcasts in a different way i guess? >> yes, i think so. part of what i never paid attention to is that we humanize people. you know we were just going in to tell stories you know not ooking at it like oh you know this is a sequestered population that don't too many people know about. tand i think it same way out here is that reentry is a part of the population and a lot of people don't know about. >> reporter: on the podcast yon,ve explored this idea of the sense of loss, you know that the shame of lost time, lost do you feel now like you have to

make up for lost time? >> not at all. >> reporter: no. >> not at all. >> reporter: if i do make up for any loss, it's with my immediate family you know the time that ti've been go time i've been away-- my mother just turned 70. my mission is to spend time with her. you know i'm not trying to go too fast to catch up with rmething that i've missed nothing and i'm just waking up everyday enjing the fact that i'm waking up free. >> reporter: when we talked at san quentin, i askedou about victims of crimes. >> right. >> reporter: how should they , look, watching you and watching what you were doing at san quentin and watching you? >> when people come to jail they have to rehabilitate himself they have to change their thinking their mindset. and i believe that as far as m - if a person is looking at me they're saying ok well he's doing the right stuff he's doing he right things to get o of prison. he got out got out got a job he's going on about his life.

so i would hope that they're looking at me like, "okay if there was a lesson to be learned he learned his lesson." so i would hope that that's how they see it. >> reporr: for the pbs newshour, i'm jeffrey brown in oakland california. >> nawaz: maybe you just had a performance review or yoared somethinwrote with a friend. it's likely that whatever feedback you received, the negative comments are what stuck th you. esme weijun wang is an author, most recently of "the collnited schizoph." tonight she shares her humble ioopon why we should make an effort to listen for something else. >> when i was in the sixth grade, i was kwn for being an

overachiever. ffor sport, one of low classmates decided to keep a piece of paper taped to her desk; on that sheet, she'd make a tally for every error i made in class. she'd call out, gleefully, drawing attention to whatever it was that i'd done wrong. i became sensitive to my mistakes. that sheet of paper on her desk loomed like no accomplishment of mine ever did. to receive a compliment, in many cultures, is to demur. we are taught, particularly if we are women, to brush off a kind word lestur heads grow too large. oo, we learn that to foc on our weaknesses means that we'll improve, so that come tim mpany evaluations, our otfocus isn the seven pieces of praise, but on the single criticism. for years, i kept my own records

of what i'd done wrong, and forgot the compliments. i received thoughtful notes and emails, but never let them ristick-- that is, until ad suggested that i begin to keep a folder of the kindords said to me. in went the best parts of my book reviews, the sweetest lines from people who love me. now, years later, i have pages and pages of text messagesnd taails and tweets, because the world can be a bplace. we can be unrelentingly hard to ourselves, and under such circumstances, it's a shame to not let the world's light stick to us whene have the chance. in my humble opinion, it is not enough to absent-mindedly nod when someone ss, for example, that the mix cd we made them ker them company in the win of their bereavement, or when your student tells you that they had never loved poetry before

your english class. write these things down. keep a recor stitch them together, and let them keep you warm. >> anden update now to an earlier story before we go. s.the ouse o house of representatives has passed a disaster a package for cities and territories hit by wildfires, hurricanes d the 1-9d million measure was approved by a wide bipartisan margin and is headed to president trump who is expected to sign it. the house oversight committee said it's moving to hold attorney general william barr and commerce sector wilbur rothn ontempt of congress for not complying for subpoena of documents for the trump administration's add ago citizenship blank to the sen
