more, we are joined by kimberly marten, professor of political science at barnard college, columbia universitye has been researching and writing about the wagner group for years. professor, welcome back to democracy now! your first response yesterday, it was like, close to 1:30 in the afternoon when we heard eastern time that prigozhin possibly was dead. >> not unexpected at all. we know putin takes revenge on people who are disloyal. it was two months to the day after prigozhin began his mutiny. and it is fitting it happen on an airplane given that as part of that mutiny, prigozhin's men ended up shooting down a series of russian military helicopters and an airplane and killed 13 people. nermeen: professor, can you talk about the other senior wagner leaders who were apparently on this plane with prigozhin? >> probably the most significant one is to call of who was -- chekalov who was in charge of the business part of prigozhin's holdings. prigozhin has many holdings and many very hidden places around the world. but chekalov was associated with those in syria. it is significant because it appe

earlier i spoke with a scientist at columbia university and the nasa goddard institute for space studiesi asked him to explain the relationship between climate change and the global food supply. >> if you are askingor the main drivers that really affect both in the yield, it is maybe three aspects -- temperature, precipitation, and something this much less known, carbon dioxide, co2 in the air. they create extreme events such as droughts, heat waves, hail, flooding is a big problem. but the co2 effect that creates climate change, tops love it. -- crops love it. at the same time, it creates adverse effects in the climate. this this effect all caps the same? good question. some crops are sensitive to the co2 effect. others are not. corn, maize does not really benefit from higher co2 levels. the shifting precipitation patterns are felt in maize production. glibly aggregated, corn is seeing the largest negative impact. john: for there are winners and losers in terms of crops? >> that is a message we need to get comfortable with our karmic change is not just a negative blanket of adverse effe

president of columbia university and then i like ike, right? sort of this all-american, really a hero. the other thing is that welch, so robert welch wrote to his friends in the '50s a letter he called a long letter and any charges that eisenhower is a dedicated agent of the communist conspiracy. what's interesting is a lot of the other birch founders with this becomes news in the early '60s they distance themselves from him. they say it's not official birch doctrine, i didn't agree and, in fact, actually two of the birch founders were, the more eisenhower appointees. there in the eisenhower administration and one at a document this in the book, it becomes a huge flap where eisenhower says oh my god this guy bill grady this is a man, a birch founder, this is a man who told me to point to labor-management committee? the founders especially on ver' mainstream, very rich, this guy grady is in particular led the ymca english milwaukee sentinel man of the year. so what they say is this was peculiar to bob welch. obviously some others at least believ

analytical issue of the big game, we have a conversation with jeffrey sachs, a professor at columbia university a renowned political economist and indeed one of the few people in america who has both competence and independent judgment. and geoffrey are very happy to see you great. thanks for taking the time. thank you, it is very nice to be with you literally in a week it will turn a year and a half. how the russian special military operation in ukraine began well, everything connected with this, uh, which we have already talked about many times. uh, we imagine what happened. we imagine, although not completely. but more or less, where are we we are. but where are we going white house representatives john carby, uh, said, the next thing is about the prospects for negotiations. and relible , the idea is being discussed that ukraine can become a nato member only within those borders that will be liberated precisely at the time of signing the agreement. and after that, ukraine will begin to fight for the rest of the territory through diplomatic, not military means. i appreciate the administration

this was acknowledged by special adviser to the un secretary-general , columbia university professorey sachs. ukraine is collapsing i said from the beginning that the us will turn it into a european afghanistan i mean that the us came to afghanistan in 1979 and for 40 years turned the country into a battlefield great day. they just left, that's the american style. no one will help ukraine with the restoration, no one will give millions of dollars for this, all these talks are just fantasies. it will follow from odessa region to sudan in the second half of august, that is, perhaps literally from day to day, this information from ria novosti with reference to a knowledgeable military-diplomatic source about the preparation of a ukrainian sabotage and punitive detachment, which is allegedly instructed to carry out frankly criminal tasks in africa, or rather all countries that are building constructive relations with russia, they say, the leaders of such states are led by terrorists. they will have to kill. well, in general, they are planning a whole series of various terrorist attacks a

one because we signed the actually good friend, a great shakespeare scholar, james shapiro at columbia university to do a biography of the character othello. how do you how do you do that? well, he's calling it a fellow in america. in other words, it will be the story of the various ways beginning in the 18th, but especially the 19th century, the ways that othello was staged in america, depicted in america, the way othello as a character changed over time in the 19th century into the 20th century. there was a period in the 19th century when othello could not be portrayed as black as the more of venice was white, and then white, and even more especially for performances in the south, where there's going to be a book we've signed on. true to your harris, an important literary scholar is going to do a book on bigger thomas. richard wright's famous in native son and there's also going to be by shelley fisher, fisk and great american studies scholar. she's doing a book, a biography, if you like, of the character jim from huckleberry finn. now, that means she's going to be tracing reactions to the char

in america you get 30 different kinds of toothpaste, luckily when i came here, at columbia university in new york city, i was thinking i'm going to get the best education, at the university. the first day at the university orientation my professors ask us, stay angry, stay outraged because america is inherently ee full and all the evil happening in the world, is because of greedy capitalism and white men. and i think that i somewhere go back to north korea? this is the exact same thing i was learning in north korean classrooms. all problems we had in the world and the solution to all problems was a communist revolution. they say the exact same thing to me. so let's talk about that, what that socialist paradise looked like. i was born in the darkest place in the world, and if you see satellite pictures of north korea at night time it is the darkest place because they don't have electricity. in new york city, i told him please go to north korea because we have that every day, we don't have any pollution or medical functions, it is more than you can imagine, 0 impact on nature, right? in

that book was published by oxford university press in my new book, big fiction is published by columbia university press. did penguin random house have a chance to get your book at all? so as an academic, we tend to we tend to work with university presses in part because there's a separate a whole separate system of how acquisition and publication works with university presses versus big trade commercial presses like penguin random house, a university press has a peer review system that means that all of their books go out to specialists in the area in which that book is working. and those specialists have to sign off. and for my boss, the chair of my department, the deans, provost and the president, they like to see that i'm working with a peer reviewed press, the university press, because that gives the work a little bit more of the academic imprimatur that it needs. for my own career. so i did not let random house have a chance at these books. well, dan sinykin, i presume you have an agent? what is the process for getting a book to any publisher? and when did cormac mccarthy get an agent for th
