Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Winter Johnston. Incoming President Donald Trump has been working to fill out his administration before he takes office in January.

00:00:30 Speaker_03
NPR's Mara Liason reports some of his nominees have been seen as extremely controversial, including his initial choice for Attorney General Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his name from consideration for the job last week.

00:00:45 Speaker_04
Donald Trump had started the week out pretty defiant, daring the Senate to reject Gaetz.

00:00:50 Speaker_04
And if they couldn't have the votes for Gaetz, he said he was just going to push Gaetz through as a recess appointment, which would have undercut the Senate's constitutional role as a co-equal branch of government.

00:01:00 Speaker_04
But it turns out that the laws of political gravity have not been abolished completely. Gaetz didn't have the votes. And instead of pushing him through as a recess appointment, Donald Trump decided to accept the will of the Senate.

00:01:11 Speaker_03
That's NPR's Mara Liason reporting. Hundreds of people showed up at a high school in East Los Angeles this weekend to get help becoming American citizens.

00:01:23 Speaker_03
It's all part of a larger effort by the school district and the city to protect people from deportation that has been promised by the incoming Trump administration. NPR's Kelly McEvers reports.

00:01:36 Speaker_01
Refugio Sanchez has citizenship. Like an estimated 800,000 other people in L.A., his wife, Cheryl Sanchez, is undocumented. They say people are panicking.

00:01:48 Speaker_05
I don't want to be separated from my kids, my family.

00:01:51 Speaker_01
Refugio and Cheryl Sanchez have three kids. They say people they know on social media are already talking about how there could be checkpoints and how they might get rounded up. The family signed up to get legal help for Cheryl through a non-profit.

00:02:06 Speaker_01
School board officials say there will be more events like this in the coming weeks. The L.A. school district and the city recently voted to become sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants. Kelly McEvers, NPR News, Los Angeles.

00:02:20 Speaker_03
Contentious negotiations at the climate conference in Azerbaijan ended this weekend with wealthy countries agreeing to triple a previous pledge to help developing nations cope with a hotter climate.

00:02:33 Speaker_03
But NPR's Jeff Brady reports many of those developing countries are not happy.

00:02:39 Speaker_05
Under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, rich countries that mostly created climate change by burning fossil fuels agreed to pay developing nations that are disproportionately suffering the consequences.

00:02:50 Speaker_05
India's representative called the $300 billion a year by 2035 a paltry sum considering the damage. Chandni Raina said her country was not even allowed to make a statement before the decision was finalized.

00:03:03 Speaker_05
We are extremely disappointed with this incident. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to pull the U.S. from the U.N. Climate Accord for a second time. Jeff Brady, NPR News.

00:03:15 Speaker_03
This is NPR. This will be a shortened trading week on Wall Street because of the Thanksgiving holiday, but investors will still have new information to consider.

00:03:28 Speaker_03
Earnings and data on new home sales will be released, and a report on inflation is also due out. Crab fishermen in California are frustrated, but not surprised that the state's commercial dungeness crab season has been pushed back once again.

00:03:46 Speaker_03
Billy Kruse from Member Station KQED has more.

00:03:50 Speaker_07
For the second time this year, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has delayed commercial crab fishing. The reason?

00:03:57 Speaker_07
A high presence of endangered humpback whales at risk of net entanglement and a high concentration of toxins in crabs found in the northern part of the state. Matt Wanus is a local fisherman who relies on crab to make a living.

00:04:11 Speaker_07
He says these delays are causing people to leave the industry and find more consistent work.

00:04:16 Speaker_06
Your job is to do fishing, and it's really tough sometimes to relate that over to a land job. I can't speak for the whole fleet, but I can almost guarantee you everyone's going to say the same thing.

00:04:26 Speaker_06
It's very frustrating to see our industry die like this.

00:04:30 Speaker_07
The Golden State's commercial crabbing season has been delayed each of the past six years. For NPR News, I'm Billy Cruz in San Francisco.

00:04:38 Speaker_03
Forecasters are predicting another round of winter weather in the coming days, just as travelers hit the road for Thanksgiving.

00:04:46 Speaker_03
Forecasters say another round of snow and heavy rain is expected in California, as well as in the Midwest and Great Lakes region this week. This is NPR News.
