From the New York Times. I Michael Barbara. This is the daily today was the world's most personal resettlement programme. Has other countries said no ordinary Canadians signed up for a grand social experiment, opting syrian refugees for one year. So what happens as your ends, and now that the republican care bill is dead. What's the future of the democratic plan, it was supposed to replace its Monday March twenty seven, on Friday, President Trump went out of his way to say that the failure of the republican Healthcare bill was not the fault of how speaker, Paul Ryan, then

Saturday. How welcome an injustice, Trump encouraged, his twenty seven million twitter followers to tune into Fox news at nine p m on judge in Cairo. Thanks are being with us to watch his friend judge, Janine Piero. My opening statement Paul Ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house, the reason He failed to deliver the votes on his health care bill, the one trumpeted too, were pale and replace Obama care the one that he had seven years to work on. The one he hid and under lock g in the basement of Congress, the one that it had to be pulled to prevent the embarrassment of not having enough votes to pass this one for six minutes Ryan. She said had let his president down and speak

and you crawl men with all yours, swagger and experience, and, yes, Salem, a bill of goods which ends up our complete and total our Europe, and you will allow our president in his first one hundred days to come out of the box. Like that judge, Piero is saying there was zero communication with President Trump before the show Speaker Ryan's spoke person is saying his relationship with President Trump is stronger than ever and publicly. President Tromp is turning his focus on the Democrats I've been saying for the last year and a half The best thing we can do politically speaking, is low. Obamacare explode exploding right now, I'm Margo Marta, Hey Margo, it's Michael how you get Margo is Obamacare.

Exploring now. I really don't think that it is Margo. Singer cats writes about health care for the times. It's definitely true that the Obama CARE markets for who, by their own insurance, have had some difficulties in the last year, and there are reasons why we should be a little bit worried about them, but the reality is that it will take their basically going to work out. Ok, that does not mean that they cannot exploit, I think one of the day question as we look forward to what the trumpet ministries and as is they have a choice now, which is do we want to help stabilize these things? Make them work the bath that they're gonna work, or do we want to be the one lighting the fears that makes them explode? I think that they have tools available to them. That could push things and either direction. But if you imagine the kind of status quo, like maybe we're Obama was still president things were kind of coasting along. I think it would be reasonable to it.

Back that these markets. Would you just fine, so the other, a media narrative from Republicans after this bill, failed beyond Obamacare is going to explode anyway, was well that's over and were onto the next thing and the next things probably taxes, and I want understand why seen as such a foregone conclusion. That Republicans would just pick up in total move on from something. So fundamental. This is something they have campaigned for years? Had there been a replace the affordable care act We just pick up their marbles and walk away after an initial failure, because it really good question. Obamacare is definitely something that has been really important. You must all have again than has been crucial to their political message for so many years. On the other hand, and I think what we have seen is that there is not enough common ground among republican

Congress and the White House to actually come up with some kind of health care policy, and so there are lots of things that have been written in the aftermath of the bill. Getting pulled from the floor on Friday and lots of people say things like, oh well, if only Trump had been a better negotiator and have been more engaged in policy details or if only they taken more time and had hearings and if only in a Paul Ryan had been nicer to the freedom caucus, etc and that they could have reached a deal mete out. This is my opinion, but I think that actually none of that is really true. I think that this was sort of their best chance to do something and the problems that undermine this particular effort will continue to problems in the future if they come back with something else. Margo. Thank you very much. Prettier time no

I'm also article to be embedded back, we'll be right back America's biopharmaceutical companies have one very important thing in common: a common enemy they're, making great progress because their collaborating ways they ve never done before. In a matter of weeks, they progressed from potential treatments for covert nineteen to Anna bodies and antivirals that have shown positive results to several promising vaccine candidates. Get the latest Data Ph Rna, DOT, Org sash corona virus, because science is how we get back to normal hello hype, Peggy, it's Michael Barber from the New York Times. How are you I'm very well? Thank you. How are you Peggy Karras he's a retard geography teacher in Toronto. I wanted to start by Asking you here before you admit any family,

did you learn that there was trouble in Syria? Clearly the news reports from several years ago when the war for started. I was following the news from happening there and when did you decide again, but I think for so many people that little boy on the beach with a really first, I opener and in a really hit me dreaming, it's rare that we have to warn you right from the top of the news, cares about what you are about to see, but the photo we're going to show you how quickly resonated across the world the three year old, syrian boy who washed up drowned on a turkish beach, island, Kirsty was three years old when he lost his life crossing the editor rainy and see to Europe. But what was it about that story in particular that matter, because his family was trying so hard to get a candidate because they had an anti aren't Canada Alan's aunt lived in Canada, Catherine, I warrant is a reporter,

the times and Alan's aunt had actually tried to bring in another relative, and it had trouble doing that. He's five year old brother, and their mother also drowned in a desperate attempt to find it to life, and Canadians just felt heart second thought. Oh, my gosh. We could have prevented this was to be growing determination at most every level to help with this critical situation. In fact, Google Search It is over twenty four hours from Wednesday to Thursday show them number one question Canadian searched on refugees was how to respond, a syrian refugee. So how can we help? so as many other countries shun them, Canada, India two on the national movement to embrace syrian refugees. The country revived and old program called private sponsorship that would pair thousands of Canadians with refugee families for one year they sign up for a twelve month

obligation to help these families financially and socially practically. Logistically so that they can settle into life in Canada. So, in February of twenty fifty in this week, canadian airports will be decisive. Some first tentative steps in Canada, the door to a new life on says, The media, the twitter Hashtag, welcome to Canada has been trending, but just one typical, tweet, free from Julie and Warner, say so proud to be canadian. I live in a country that is choosing compassion over fear to your heart. You saw everyday citizens in Canada rise up and say we can make this our problem we're gonna, take this on. We think we can change. The life of one syrian family, Jody Cancer and Catherine Horn have reported on the programme over its twelve months

focusing on the story of one sponsor group and one refugee family. Canada was placing the opposite. Bat and syrian refugees has the rest of the world. They were saying people can be absorbed, they can belong. They can eventually contribute and prosper in this country. So we wanted to see if that was gonna at least begin to happen. With the Hodges tell me story of the hot family that Dad Mohammed was a farmer, the mom we some stayed home. They had three children at the time measured and the higher the twins moot, I am, is their younger brother he's the family comedian. They lead. Really tradition, all life, they were surrounded by extended family, really devoured Muslims and then

the beginning of fighting in Syria. Thousands of dead after to suicide bombs, exploded in serious capital city of Damascus turned their lives upside down today, It's a sixth anniversary of the start of the syrian war. The years of violence have killed close to half a million people and before the or serious population was twenty two million. Since then, huge numbers of people have fled laughed for eleven on both for economic reasons. The reasons and I mean there are so many different varieties of misery and refugee stories, but they really had a particularly miserable go of it. In Lebanon. They lived in squalid conditions. First, it was a refugee camp. Let me have a syrian refugees who fleas eleven underpins scholars. Ramshackle makeshift camps like this one, really really difficult living conditions, rats

running over mattresses on the floor. Mohammed couldn't get work refuge face tremendous discrimination in places like Lebanon, the kids often went to bed hungry at night. They were not able to scorn? Instead, the kids worked for adults every day they used cry when they saw other kids getting on school buses who were able to go to school. We sound got pregnant again and they actually lost the baby a few hours after childbirth, but they had applied to the U N as refugees, and lo and behold, they get a call one day saying: do you wanna, go to Canada? Tell me about meeting the harsh family for the first time they have been a Canada for like three days I just went to

my turn on the Sunday night to bring dinner to them. So I made sure with hollow and I went knocked on the sort you know we were making dinner before you hadn't man, I didn't make it. I bought her kind. Had no, I didn't do it, but I went to a nice age arabic, restaurant in but allow food for them. One as things are remember I was doing. I was in the kitchen- was watching all the dishes before it would put them away and with them the mother came to me said no, no, don't do that. I will do that if we all sign language, obviously knitted nano, you relax your seven months pregnant. You got sit down and I remember looking at their faces. They were very geared, I think, like they just didn't know quite what was going on and I think they were just like what's happening here. These families didn't understand private sponsorship and didn't know that they had private sponsors, and we heard after the fact that they ve been told in Lebanon that we were gonna steal that choice

then we're gonna sell off the baby. You know they saw their worried about being separated and worried about leaving their children with these strange people. They just met, and then the ah, at the generosity, sunken overtime. One per annum is doing this ruling. Somebody else is doing the schooling for the parents and somebody else taking on the dental care every couple hours there's knock on the door: a different member of the sponsor group, whereas the extended group of friends that are held the sponsors and somebody's there to do something for the family. We J, G, H, g g

there there to do a tutoring lesson with we salmon English were there to bring extra groceries or their there to do homework help with the kids the father kept asking about who you know how we're gonna pay for all this. Like your fingers, furniture rethink, this apartment lick it kept asking my friend. How am I gonna pay for all this and our friend kept telling it don't worry. These people have raised money to help you and they're gonna pay for this, and I dont think you believed him, and I mean I can't blame him for not believing it who would expect complete strangers to say look. I'm gonna pay your rent for the next year, I'm giving all his furniture like it's an amazing thing, but it is what's happening with all the sponsor group. You know. To be honest. One of the questions about the sponsor group was almost whether they did too much for the family because, on the one hand, to doing things I teaching we. Some English was so incredibly important. On the other hand, the

hush family became really reliant on these spawns hers and the level of effort that these sponsors expanded. The Catherine and I are not really sure whether at sustainable for regular people, I mean these were retirees they have a lot of time. Ah, I don't know that a working professional could do with these people that I had said I got a better co responsibility taken care of all the medical appointments in the mother was pregnant, so I was taking her back and forth to obstetricians, overtaken the whole family to a general practitioner, and I had to find- and I did find and arabic speaking female obstetrician and in arabic speaking general practitioner who would take on the family and that we're going for ourselves are going for tests for blood tat. You know a lot of different stuff, especially the beginning for the mother, to see where she was in her pregnancy to see how she was, etc, etc. Perhaps the moment that shows how intimates

censorship can actually become is when we SAM goes into labor. I went there in the Labour Room and Peggy was actually in the laboring delivery room with we SAM she was urging her hands during contractions and all of a sudden. Something goes wrong and then it became an emergency bavarian, at which point they only had the translator stead outside the operating room and the rest, not allowed in the operating room at all, and you have to remember this is a family that lost their previous China about six hours after she was born, and we SAM's thought that she was gonna die. She actually, told Mohammed, take care of the kids. For me, and they we'll her off and the sponsors where their praying with Mohammed. As as,

You know in in one of the most terrifying moments of of his life moves that like to be their scary, absolute terrified, get every time it up, but the leg, because I knew she had lost a baby already, but now is really really scared that we could have a really bad outcome again and the mother was terrified and then, after about half an hour, pediatrician came out and the doktor came out said the baby's fine, the modified Julius, healthy, she's, healthy and everything works out and, of course, when you're, with this woman comparative giving birth to this baby in your. Therefore, all of that you become very close to the woman and obviously very close to the children as well, and it has been a wonderful event to be part of Oliver so spinning.

But org. There is a lot of forward motion, but a lot of challenge of Mohammed has chop. He works in the kitchen, other middle eastern restaurant. He prepares hemison chops vegetables. He gets there on his own on the subway. He likes his co workers. There are other middle eastern immigrants who talked to him. That is a really positive sign. And we saw must be getting to learn a little English. We noticed that a lot of the syrian women outpace their husband and learning English, which can become an issue in their marriages. However, she really does still spend most of the day alone and this apartment. She does not work with this baby. She does not work. She has a small baby at home, the kids are racing ahead. They are soccer champions

how to swim? They are starting to skate, which is, of course, a really big deal in Canada. There having play dates, were they say they don't want to hang out with other syrian kids because they don't only want to speak Arabic. I love that and the last time I was there. I went chaired by issued answer. He is parent teacher, princess there in sixth grade and she leads with the Good NEWS. Well. I can tell you right now that aim to read they sat down to rest, translate the fact that a majority and Mohammed says one whether they love him so incredibly relieved to hear this, because my fear is that they wouldn't be able to learn, because we had waited so long to put them in school Vienna eager to learn. They want to be in school, no matter what, with the bleak smile

one to do the work from I didn't. I didn't tell him so the teacher, whose very intuitive kind of instantly understands just what the depth of his fear had been and how how he had tortured himself with the idea that is We're never gonna learn, so she decides on the spot to demonstrate and there's this little pile of book, very elementary bucks. Not even really doctors thought all and she says to the cave. Ok, can you let's go thus the shark s blade with mark the shark played with mark that Russia will mark the park, but till dark brown and

but it was the happiest ever they looked so unfair and so relieved, and I realized in a way that I had never seen them without the stresses of being a refugee. For the first time it seemed like that was lifted a little bit and the sponsors reactions were just as interesting. The teacher turned to the sponsors and actually gave them credit. She said, I know you guys have been showing up for daily homework, and this is in part because of you. A lot of Canadians are really proud of what they have accomplished here. They know that they are being there on the world stage. They have received a lot of international attention for what they're doing the United Kingdom.

And Tina are in the process of launching a pilot programmes? Other countries are interested. On the other hand, there are lots of people who feel like way too much has been given to the Syrians. What about the indigenous people in Canada? What about poor Canadians? They are very concerned that people are. You know, gonna just continue to that it can get stuck on welfare and that's not okay with them. Yet twelve months is, is up actually were thirteen.

You're thirteen months in a. U fulfilled your initial commitment as a as sponsors. What is your relationship with the harsh is now well. I'm tutoring list one night a week with the children M tutoring one day a week with the mother, I'm still doing the opposite chicken appointment, because it's just too far, there's no way you can get there by by taker two hours, so I'm driving her back and forth. To that end, it is the continuing thing like there's no question in my mind if they call me- and they need me for something- I will do it just as I would do for any one of my family and I think feel the same way that they know they can call me and if I'm there I'll be there to help them my peggy. Thank you very, very much. Welcome good luck to thank you. Here's what else you need to know today when on Pushkin Square
