"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

More than 70 people were killed and hundreds were wounded in clashes between protesters and police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buchatskiy — now a 21-year-old international student at Stanford University studying international security — said it was the first day that Ukraine woke up and started taking its sovereignty more seriously.

"title": "How Events in Ukraine Affect the Price of Gas in California",
"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Gas prices in California \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">reached record highs this week\u003c/a>, with the statewide average topping $5.50 a gallon. That comes as President Biden on Tuesday announced a ban on the U.S. import of Russian oil, in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get a sense of what this all means for oil production and consumption in California, KQED's Saul Gonzalez spoke on Wednesday with UC Berkeley economics professor Severin Borenstein, an expert on energy markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Severin Borenstein, economics professor, UC Berkeley\"]'What's going on really right now is that crude oil prices have gone way up because there's concern that Russian oil generally will be taken off the market.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAUL GONZALEZ: So let's talk about this ban on Russian crude first. The U.S., including California, only gets about 3% of its petroleum from Russia. So is turning off the spigot from that country really going to have much of an effect on California? And how will refineries make up for that loss?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SEVERIN BORENSTEIN\u003c/strong>: Well, it is a very small amount of crude oil relative to what we process every day, and so it's not going to have much effect. Unfortunately, it won't have much effect on Russia, either, if that's all that happens worldwide. The hope is that this is going to grow into a larger banning of Russian imports in Western Europe and other parts of the world, and that could have a real effect on Russia by making it more difficult for them to sell their oil or to sell it at a lower price. The example we have from when we did a similar thing with Iran in 2010 and it turned out to be very effective, they did manage to still sell some of their oil to China, but at a deep discount which lowered their revenues. The effect in California of the U.S. ban on Russian imports is going to be hard to even notice in prices relative to the overall just increase in crude oil prices. It's a small amount and can be pretty easily replaced. What's going on really right now is that crude oil prices have gone way up because there's concern that Russian oil generally will be taken off the market. And since they produce about 10% of world supplies, that would be a big hit to the supply in the market. The concern that that will happen is what's driving up crude oil prices now, even though Russia so far has been able to continue to sell its oil.[aside postID=\"news_11907530,news_11896845,forum_2010101888192\" label=\"Related Posts\"]\u003cstrong>As we speak this morning, the average price of a gallon of regular gas is now over $5.50 here in California. I know you don't have a crystal ball in front of you, but how much higher should we expect to see those numbers go?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nUnfortunately, it's really very difficult to tell. It depends entirely on whether Vladimir Putin decides to push forward with his invasion of Ukraine or to pull back. If he did decide this isn't worth the losses and to declare victory and withdraw, oil prices would drop dramatically and gasoline prices would follow within a few weeks.

The U.S., including California, only gets about 3% of its petroleum from Russia. So is turning off the spigot from that country really going to have much of an effect on California? And how will refineries make up for that loss?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SEVERIN BORENSTEIN\u003c/strong>: Well, it is a very small amount of crude oil relative to what we process every day, and so it's not going to have much effect. Unfortunately, it won't have much effect on Russia, either, if that's all that happens worldwide. The hope is that this is going to grow into a larger banning of Russian imports in Western Europe and other parts of the world, and that could have a real effect on Russia by making it more difficult for them to sell their oil or to sell it at a lower price. The example we have from when we did a similar thing with Iran in 2010 and it turned out to be very effective, they did manage to still sell some of their oil to China, but at a deep discount which lowered their revenues. The effect in California of the U.S. ban on Russian imports is going to be hard to even notice in prices relative to the overall just increase in crude oil prices. It's a small amount and can be pretty easily replaced. What's going on really right now is that crude oil prices have gone way up because there's concern that Russian oil generally will be taken off the market. And since they produce about 10% of world supplies, that would be a big hit to the supply in the market. The concern that that will happen is what's driving up crude oil prices now, even though Russia so far has been able to continue to sell its oil.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are now roughly 20,000 people of Ukrainian descent living in the Bay Area, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://san-francisco.mfa.gov.ua/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ukrainian consulate in San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The connections between the two regions are not simply economic. Strong cultural affinities have developed. People move between the Bay Area and Ukraine and work together on projects. They get married to each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wife is Ukrainian,” said John Sung Kim, CEO of the Bay Area-based outsourcing company \u003ca href=\"https://jetbridge.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JetBridge\u003c/a>.

And so this could be 100 people,” Kim said. But it’s an open question when that might happen. “Airports have been bombed and traffic is a no go. People are stuck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s the JetBridge team in Belarus, dependent, like their co-workers in Ukraine, on international money transfers for their salaries. Kim fears financial sanctions on Russia could be extended to include Belarus, a Russian ally. Should that happen, it could become difficult to pay his employees there. “So now we have questions, like, do we need to extract people out of Belarus?” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11906424\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11906424\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/CyclistUkraineFlag.jpg\" alt=\"cyclist carrying bright yellow and blue ukrainian flag rides under series of metal hoops under a blue sky\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1416\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/CyclistUkraineFlag.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/CyclistUkraineFlag-800x590.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/CyclistUkraineFlag-1020x752.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/CyclistUkraineFlag-160x118.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/CyclistUkraineFlag-1536x1133.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A bicyclist waves the Ukrainian flag over his head as he rides through the Sonic Runway, an art installation outside San Jose City Hall. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While many companies big and small employ Ukrainians here or in Ukraine, those contacted by KQED declined to identify specific employees out of concern for their safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JustAnswer, a San Francisco-based tech company that employs 252 people in Ukraine, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/tech/article/How-Russia-invading-Ukraine-affects-the-workforce-16938923.php\">also has been working on contingency plans to keep its workers safe, make sure they get paid — and handle workers who want to serve in Ukraine’s military\u003c/a>, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google, Oracle, Snap, Grammarly and Ring also employ workers in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for Ring said the company is in close contact with the people it does business with in Ukraine, and that “we’re of course monitoring their well-being with great care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not the first time that our team members in Ukraine have experienced heightened uncertainty,” said a spokesperson for Grammarly, \u003ca href=\"https://gbozhok.medium.com/grammarly-the-story-of-how-three-ukrainians-created-the-most-popular-online-grammar-checker-5c3f20a2f66a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a company founded by Ukrainians\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Grammarly also supports all of our team members, including those who call Ukraine home, with various mental health benefits and frequent internal communication updates that aim to provide clarity in a time of uncertainty,” the spokesperson said. “Our contingency plans also account for ensuring Grammarly’s services will not be disrupted. This includes backup communication methods and temporary transfer of business-critical responsibilities to team members outside of Ukraine to ensure our Ukraine-based team members can focus on the immediate safety of themselves and their families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, after Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, the nonprofit humanitarian aid organization \u003ca href=\"https://novaukraine.org/\">Nova Ukraine\u003c/a> was born in the Bay Area.

He estimates that a third of his high school class from Kyiv now lives in the U.S., reflecting how enmeshed the two countries have become in the last three decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Putin and his subservient government and parliament — they have gone way too far,” Markov said. “It’s not a matter of Russians versus Ukrainians at all. It’s a matter of Putin versus the world.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

There are now roughly 20,000 people of Ukrainian descent living in the Bay Area, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://san-francisco.mfa.gov.ua/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ukrainian consulate in San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The connections between the two regions are not simply economic. Strong cultural affinities have developed. People move between the Bay Area and Ukraine and work together on projects. They get married to each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wife is Ukrainian,” said John Sung Kim, CEO of the Bay Area-based outsourcing company \u003ca href=\"https://jetbridge.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JetBridge\u003c/a>.

But it’s an open question when that might happen. “Airports have been bombed and traffic is a no go.
