city. but you know we're finding that in many african countries this is the third generation of families living in the same slum and they're not integrating into the society and so and slums are increasingly according to u.n. data in most african cities a majority of the population indeed lives in slums without a set of taishan facilities and often without clean water you said before that moving into a bigger say did does not necessarily mean that doesn't mean at all that your life fortunes are going to worse than but i think. at least here in russia we associate living in a city with higher living standards down in the countryside high levels of hygiene high levels of health care but from what i understand living in very high downs communities like slums without proper access to health care or sometimes with no access to health care at all would actually increase your likelihood of contracting disease it sure. is that do we understand at this point how those communities even function how do they address those kind of challenges you know not extremely well for example. one of the issues that. a

place where you can see a stranger of the or other traveler by going to a city and so there's just so much going on ideas are generated and so cities are i think are a fulcrum of change like that but nevertheless central governments are still important very important in terms of addressing larger issues like income distribution and climate change you know what makes me concerned about this kind of discourse is the fact that they have long seen a gap that's when politics and policies and you know ideally politics is supposed to be a facilitator of policies but i think they're increasingly diverging especially in the western countries and my concern is that if we think this way of cities you know leading the way we will essentially leave all the major issues of life you know war and peace of life and that the politicians. do you have that sense and i wonder if you believe that politicians. care enough about the things that you supposedly care i think there's an awful lot of politicians talking . about ideas that are clearly not only not evidence based but based against evidence and that community i don't fully understan

cities. in section 9a it directly attorney general and secretary of homeland security to deny federal grants to century cities except if they deem necessary for law enforcement purposes. it is true there is a proviso for that they should exercise their power to be consistent with law. but what are we to make with that when the entire premise of the order is that it is the president who has the power to impose conditions on grants and federal funds and not congress? moreover, in the ordinary courts when you see boilerplate language like to the extent consistent with law or notwithstanding any other provision of law or language like that, you do not expect to find the best majority of operative applications to be covered by this savings was and by the operative language of the executive order to cover a very small share of the cases. it is just not how we ordinarily read in order. and taken with an order like this it is quite understandable that cities across the country viewed it as an existential threat to their funding and take action accordingly. even if you did not look only at the plainte
