so, kerri, hats off to you.would you just tell us a little bit about the book and how you came to write it? >> thanks, i'm happy to be here going to make me cry. so mill town if you don't know is that narrative nonfiction book about a town in which my family worked. they examine it more broadly the un- building of the american dream and the working class, the hazards of loving and leaving home and indigenous nature of toxic and disease. and how i started this book began with a false document and ends with a false document. i've been doing genealogy research back in 2001. in summary grandfather's obituary and death certificate and found all kinds of information i never would've known about him because he died when i was two or three. and i wanted to find out a little bit more about him. so i wanted to find out where he lived first of all which is in princeton, rhode island the little town and i looked for the town and i couldn't find it so i decided to go to the stone. so my father and i drove up to princeton rho

he really delved in deeply into kerry's photo acacia which is kerry's new encounter with these types. what do you think this acacia says in 2020 now. although kerri made it a few years ago. what does this say that was news that we need to pay attention to? >> was happening and now we think about the public debate from the 19th century, we are having public debates now about the monuments having the importance of the archives or the absence of archives. so what we are experiencing now is an opportunity to look at the record and see the multiple stories that have been neglected in some way. but also have been resurfaced. but in a sense she paid two different historical narratives from the female body, the experience of dress, of objectifying the body will be think about the experience of women who were enslaved. so there are multiple stories that have not been discussed. john talked about images that could not be shown in the north or the south based on christian values. we also know that some of these images circulated in private bathrooms and private food was because of pornography. s

and what happened to the edward kerry?n 1864 and stopped in san francisco where it was sold and resumed its whaling. then, in 1865, it was captured and burned by the confederate shenandoah and that was the end of the edward kerry. now, -- people would think that probably the 19th century was the heyday of whaling, but actually it was the 20th century when soviet fleets, european fleets, asian fleets started hunting whales for meat rather than for oil and surprisingly in the 200 years of whaling that nantucket was doing, approximately one million whales were killed, but in the 50-60 years of more modern whaling where they have big factory ships and grenades and harpoon guns and so on, over 3 million -- it is estimated over 3 million whales have been killed. whale populations are still quite threatened, they really are under considerable threats drilling in the sea, from pollution and garbage, integument with fishing gear and collisions with other ships. whales the end of our talk, i am so glad so many were able to join us a

the master of spying fiction jonah kerry has passed away at the age of 89. ask more from scott rock's brought from d.w. culture who joins us from germany's former capital bomb welcome scott i don't like kerry had a special connection where bob thomas will yes definitely he was stationed here as a spy for 4 m i 6 back in the day and obviously he used that material of his life in future books including a small town in germany but john kerry as we heard the piece had very close connections to germany he worked here as a spy and he studied german mastered the language characteristic that he passed on to his most famous fictional character george smiley and even a few years ago too in 2011 john kerry won the good to metal for contributions to the german language and for furthering understanding between nations so it's quite appropriate that i speak you. from here from bonn a city that was very very close to john kerry's heart so how would you describe his literary legacy. yeah i think the best way is to compare maybe to fleming the creator of james von fleming's

i think in some ways you could look at john kerry's books and then all of the films and t.v. series that were made of them as almost an alternative history of the cold war i mean he really looked behind the curtain and behind the rhetoric of the of the great powers particularly britain after. who took over after the 2nd world war and and carried out espionage around the world and was incredibly critical of the methods and the actions undertaken in the name of freedom and in the name of democracy completely different than for example to ian fleming the author of the james von novels legends ball and a sort of a sexy jingle sort of british rock cheerleader john kerry is much more morally ambiguous and with his spies the ends never quite justify the means he's never quite sure if the characters never quite sure if they're on the right side of history if they're on the right moral side right you told us so much about the man and the author already but what do you think was the secret of success. i think it was 2 things one he knew his stuff i mean he was a spy he knew the sort of

kerry won the good to metal for contributions to the german language and for furthering understandingbetween nations so it's quite appropriate that i speak to you. from here from boston a city that was very very close to john kerry's heart so how would you describe his literary legacy. yeah i think the best way is to compare maybe to fleming the creator of james von fleming's view of spy craft was sort of sexy exciting and james bond was sort of a rah rah cheerleader for british imperialism kerry's view was very very different he was a very much more morally ambiguous in his books and his character george smiley for example is sort of the anti james bond he's a short fat bookish type who's who's always conflicted about what he's doing and i think. carries legacy is almost an alternative narrative of the cold war where the winners of the cold war that britain american particular are not near necessarily the morally superior groups and that the ends don't always justify the means so given that this lack of flash and excitement why do you think its focus was so successful. i guess it was

kerry didn't stop writing when the cold war ended with the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 for kerry the world of espionage was always a metaphor for the human condition. the writer was disappointed with the geo political developments in the 90s. tailor of panama. was my 1st novel. with no ideological content it spoke to the new materialism to the new postwar era it spoke also to my own disappointment that there was no energy for the reconstruction of the world when the cold war ended. the reuters stories were often sacked in germany. and i think that it was in some mysterious way my destiny always to write about germany in one way or another the writer often made cameo appearances in the film versions of his brother will show a lot of speaking parts in the b.b.c. series time. but sometimes it was blink and you'll miss him. the master of spying fiction john kerry has passed away at the age of 89. on topic we could all do with a bit more escapist literature these days so our series on german language novels in english is timely if you need to complete your christmas reading list all s

capital and like ira had actually a special connection to that city tell us about that yes hi yeah john kerry was stationed here as a spy. undercover at the british embassy and they have a great connection to the city of course he said one of his famous novels a small town in germany here in bonn and. really close connections to germany and even to the german language and he studied german and he gave that trade on to one of his most famous characters george smiley and various of his novels even the fact that a few years ago he received the good medal for contributions to the german language and for international cooperation so i think it's particularly appropriate speaking about john le carre from from this town and ball on where he had which he had great affection for how would you describe his literary legacy. yeah i think margaret atwood put it best when she said. kerry's works are key to understanding the 2nd half of the 20th century i mean he basically gave an alternative history to the of the cold war turned of narrative he instead of looking at the the victors of the cold of the world

kerry? >> reporter: contessa, what happened here today is a microcosm of the big problem it is that vaccine distribution, specifically getting the vaccine into people's arms just after midnight here today in ft. lauderdale at holy cross health, health care workers began lining up to get the vaccine. first come, first served it turns out there wasn't even enough vaccine for everybody who made it here, limited supplies those health care workers who came here say they're flummoxed, the fact that there's been nine months to plan for the distribution for all of this, and now they have to wait in line, first come, first serve. they're wagging their angry fingers at the federal government >> every day we have people who get here at midnight, 12:30, 3:45, and it goes into their practice day patients are offset by their physicians waiting to get a vaccine. the more access points we have to give vaccine, the better this is going to be and the less lines we'll see. >> if the slow rollout of the vaccine

i will talk a little about john kerry now. appointed to head this new climate envoy on the national security council. this is a win that there is a cabinet level post for climate. that is nothing to take for granted. it is a huge step forward in terms of how seriously this administration is claiming to take the climate crisis. but a lot of questions are remaining about whether john kerry has changed his view since the obama administration where he was very vocal defender of the transpacific partnership, which would have open up the isla localllenges -- purses to sue governments for things like environmental protection. he consistently has preached climate change primarily a national security threat, which i think combined withhe position as is envoy post and the rest abide's foreign policy hocks on foreign policy. not asee this crisis is threat to humanity but a threat to u.s. military assets, which i think is a sort of dangerous way to view this problem. amy: can you also comment on cedric richmond, the louisiana congressmemb
