Summary

Russian and Ukrainian delegates agreed to what’s being called “humanitarian corridors” so trapped Ukrainian citizens can leave the country. But after a phone call with Vladimir Putin, French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly believes that the “worst is yet to come” as the invasion heads into its second week.

A Texas judge issued a restraining order to halt the state’s investigation of a family that supported their trans kid’s gender-affirming health care. But an appeal by state Attorney General Ken Paxton put that order on hold, as well as a hearing that could’ve extended protections to more families. Adrí Perez with the Texas ACLU, which represents the family under investigation, explains how trans kids, adults and their families are all being harmed by the state’s anti-trans policies.

And in headlines: A jury acquits the only officer on trial in the death of Breonna Taylor, Idaho advances its own Texas-like anti-abortion law, and Harvey Weinstein is caught with contraband Milk Duds.

0:00.0	It's Friday, March 4th. I'm Gideon Resick. And I'm Trevelle Anderson. And this is what
0:10.4	a day the podcast that when played at 5% speed lasts about as long as the new Batman
0:16.1	movie. That's right. And if you play them at the same time, the news sinks up perfectly
0:21.3	with the action. And at one point Paul Dano and I say the same line at the same time and
0:26.8	it is super powerful. On today's show, we hear from ACLU of Texas, which is defending
0:34.7	a family against the state's anti-trans policy that punishes parents for giving their kids
0:40.1	the healthcare they need. Plus, there was a major $6 billion settlement in the country's
0:45.8	opioid crisis.
0:46.8	Yeah, but first there are obviously more updates from Ukraine as we go to record around
0:50.7	930 Eastern on Thursday night. So to start on the ground, reports said that Russian
0:55.9	troops have been shelling the city of Maryapal. The mayor of the city said that that has resulted
1:01.2	in a loss of power, water, and heat. The AP also reported later that Russian troops
1:06.2	had been shelling Europe's largest nuclear power station in Ukraine. This was all over
1:11.2	social media. A fire broke out. And shortly before we went to record, American and European
1:15.9	officials were in touch about it. But there was reporting that Ukrainian authorities said
1:20.0	the situation was under control as we are speaking.
1:24.0	In the midst of all of this, Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky gave his first press conference
1:27.8	since the invasion started. He talked about the resilience of Ukrainian people, requests
1:32.2	for more support from Western allies, and his desire for a no fly zone over the country.
1:38.1	Russia, however, has rejected Ukrainian demands for a withdrawal and an end to the attacks
1:42.7	on the country. And to add to that, French president Emmanuel Macron spoke to the Russian
