Chinas president xi jinping . The world will soon have what my guest says is an unprecedented opportunity, and we have a sneak preview. Finely, does barack obama have this man to thank for his presidency . Ill introduce you to an author who says absolutely. But first here is my take. Like you, i have watched the protests in hong kong with fascination. I have been trying to figure out what they mean for hong kong but also for china. The situation brought to mind for me a book published a few years back by a chineseamerican academic. Its called requesting chinas trap transition. In it bey invoked the most established law in political science, that over time countries that grow economically tend to become more democratic. Oilrich states that are usually run by dictators are the exception. China had achieved decades of growth and yet had seen almost no moves toward political openness. The worlds great exception. Around the time of the books publication in 2006 be y predicted because of this mismatch between Economic Growth and political stagnation, problems would emerge six to seven years later. In other words, right about now. And, indeed, the scholar says, hong kongs turmoil today has huge implications for china. Bey argues that perhaps what explains the chinese anomaly is this that dhin the ruling elites have been united, confident, and ferocious in their termination to maintain a oneparty system. In taiwan after a death, the elite split. That kind of split between a reformist wing and a hard line wing has not happened this china. Theres another analogy to the soviet case. The pressure for reform in russia in the 1980s was real but limited. It was pervasive in poland and czechoslovakia which were the most economically developed countries under soviet influence. And that put pressure on the whole soviet system and on moscow itself. Hong kong is like eastern europe, a rich but unfree outpost of the empire. Bey cautions the events in hong kong are unlikely to spill over into the mainland. He says, quote, the system of control, patronage and surveillance on the mainland is too strong, unquote. I would said there is also considerable support in china for the status quo. Its quadrupled the average persons income. But pei argues the hong kong protests could produce rifts in the communist party as it has to deal with issues of dissent and repreparation now and in the future. The solution for china is obvious, political reform. This has been seen and advocated by many Senior Leaders in the party when when by jou. Wen insisted political reform had to follow economic reform. But it 234enever happened becau reform threatens the partys monopoly of party. China will not become a westernstyle liberal democracy, but it should consider the example of singapore, a city state with a strong oneparty system but one that also hayes legal opposition parties, reasonably free elections, and real independent courts. Chinese leader ping famously visited singapore in 1978 and learned about singapores free market Economic System before beginning reforms at home. President xi jinping would do well to take a trip to that city state. Read my Washington Post column this week for more. Lets get started. Isis is a threat to the United States. Its also a threat to many states in the middle east. That is making for some very strange bedfellows in that part of the world. The say down with israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ask him about the threat, obamas plans, and those unusual alliances being formed to fight the terrorists. Prime minister netanyahu, thank you for joining us. Thank you, my pleasure. You have very good intelligence. What is your assessment of the strength of isis . Well, several tens of thousands by now and its growing by day because theyve got about 2 million petro dollars revenue a day. Theyre augmenting their territory. The strength of isis is the strength of terror and fear. You dont have to be that large. There were times in history where small bands conquered all of asia just by galloping on horses and beheading people and instilling terror in the hearts of millions, and this is the strength of isis. A fervent, fervent fanatic ideology and the willingness to have to kill anybody for its realization. When we look at what is going on in the middle east, when you look at syria and iraq, what does it mean for israel . Because at one level i wonder, youve got the iranians tied up in supporting the syrian new regime. You have hezbollah forces tied up in dealing with it. All your enemies are fighting with one another. Is that good for you or bad for you . Well, when youre enemies are fighting with each other, dont support one or the other, we can both. That means we fully support president obamas goal to defeat isis, but we also believe that you should prevent iran from becoming a threshold nuclear power. To prevent it from having capacity to enrich enough uranium for the bomb in short order. So i think these are the twin goals that i have as the Prime Minister of israel, but i find not only that i have them, that many, if not all of the arab states except assad in syria, everybody shares those views. Are you in a that sit alliance with the moderate arab states like egypt and saudi arabia . I would say theres a commonality of interest that was crystallized and i have never seen it in my lifetime because all the arab states identify as we do these twin challenges of a nuclear iran and the radical sunnis making inroads into sunni states, and they recognize that it imperils their societies and they all want to get rid of israel on their way to the great satan. Were just the little satan. The great satan is the United States, and they all have these mad ideologies, so we share the common interest to address those dangers. My hope is that we can pivot on this to productive relationship also to advance a realistic splin palestinian israel peace. I think because of these common challenges, it may actually work the other way around, that a rapprochement between israel and the key arab states would facilitate an Israeli Palestinian peace and i think we have to explore both. But if that is the case, what these arab states will say is they need to see progress on the palestinian front and on that front you said to the times of israel and they were roeporting on the interview, they said Prime Minister netanyahu could never, ever and they italicized this, countenance a truly sovereign palestinian state. They say. They characterized that interview. Im characterized in so many way approximates. It was done in hebrew so they dont have an exact quote. If thats true youre essentially saying theres two twostate solution. I just said yesterday in the white house publicly, i said i remain committed to a vision of peace of two states for two peoples, two nation states, one for the palestinian people, one for the jewish people, living in mutual recognition with solid security arrangements on the ground to defend israel, to keep the peace and to defend israel. What did you many when they say you said here is the security problem. What is the security problem . Whats the problem . First of all, i think the problem is not this or that border but what lies on the other side, the palestinian side of the border. Do we have a palestinian state that is like syria or like libya or like gaza in which you have people sworn to our destruction or do we have a peaceful state that recognizes our right to have a state of our own . Thats the recognition part. The second part is, okay, even if we had that, how do i know that this will keep . How do i know that hamas will not walk in and as they did in gaza and knock out the Palestinian Authority. We walked out. Hamas backed by iran walked in and fired 15,000 rockets into israel. After we cleared every last inch of gaza. But to a palestinian in the west bank, if they hear what youre saying, theyre saying i think we would interpret it as well never get our own state. I disagree with that and i think that its too facile from the part of governments and others to except this notion because look at the middle east. I mean, states are disintegrating. Militant islam is walking into the cracks. Every place that western powers vacate has been taking over by islamists whether its iraq and elsewhere. We vacated lebanon. Southern lebanon, taken over by islamists. Hezbollah on behalf of iran. We walked out of gaza. Taken over by islamists. Hamas and backed by iran. So we have a real problem. Its not merely our problem. Its also paradoxically also the problem of the Palestinian Authority. If you just expect israel to walk out, youll be thrown out, too, by the islamists, okay . So how do we work out a deal, a protracted deal, where you get political independence and i have no desire to govern the palestinians. None whatsoever. But at the same time i dont want a twostate or a unitary state, a binational state but i dont want a iran state, a third iranian enclave around israels border. I think the solution lies in longterm security arrangements that involve israel for a protracted period of time to which the palestinians say you cant do that. That offends our sovereignty. We cant have the presence of security presence or military presence of our former enemy on our soil. That doesnt square with independence. I say really . How about American Forces in germany seven years after the fact . Or japan or in south korea. No analogy is perfect and identical but the principle in the middle east as we know it where the islamists just rush in, how do we prevent hamas but those forces were protected germany from the soviet army not occupying germany. Nobody really after you win a war, do you a nagasaki, its a debatable question how much what the local governments decisions are, but the point was there was also an American Security consideration and it wasnt merely germanys consideration or japans jrtion. There was an American Security imperative. Now, think about that. This is germany or japan. When we talk about the west bank, the distance from the west bank, okay, to israels International Airport is the distance from the bridge to this hotel. Thats it. So if the west bank is taken over by hamas, they could fire mortars into this hotel, into the center of new york. They could stop our International Airport with more yars, not rockets, not missiles, mortars. A guy with a mortar. Let me ask you about hamas. We have to find a Security Solution that is real and i think its possible. I think we have to adjust our conceptions of sovereignty. I dont know if theres absolute sovereignty anywhere. I dont see it in the economic field. Were all tied to international structures, were all tied to limitations, and i think we have to think about having these security arrangements which could be over time could be made shared security arrangements, but thats the way to keep israel safe, paradoxically to keep the Palestinian Authority intact, and ultimately to secure peace. Well be back in just a moment with more of my interview with Prime Minister netanyahu. I will ask him about negotiating with hamas. Is he willing to do it under any circumstances . train horn vo wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. Norfolk southern. One line, infinite possibilities. Peace. E financial noise financial noise financial noise financial noise intact, and ultimately to secure intact, and ultimately to secure you said in your speech isis is hamas, hamas is isis. President obama says very clearly isis can never be negotiated with under no circumstances whatsoever. Are you saying that you will never negotiate with hamas under any circumstances . I negotiate with an enemy who wants to stop being my enemy. Thats how you make peace. An enemy who wants to destroy you remains committed to your obliteration is not someone you can negotiate with. You dont negotiate with al qaeda. You dont negotiate with this latter day baghdadi. As long as hamas remains committed to our destruction, what is there to negotiate . The method of my suicide or what . We can talk to the palestinians who want to live in peace with us, we can have disagreements about borders but fundamentally we want to shape a Common Future of peace with each other. With hamas that calls for our eradication. Theres nothing to discuss. Let me ask you about iran. My reporting tells me that the negotiations are currently in the stage where, you know, the iranians want about 9,500 centrifuges. The americans have said 1,500. The question is can you sign as i say, it may be reporting, im not entirely sure but a number of people are saying maybe theres a deal to be had at 5,000. Could you live. 5,000 centrifuges . Could you . Here is the question. Why should iran have a single centrifuge . Whats your argument . They say we want civilian nuclear energy. We well, so does canada, mexico, sweden. 17 countries have that civilian nuclear energy, they dont have a single centrifuge. There are a lot of others but you dont need it. But iran has violated endless number of u. N. Security Council Resolutions telling them thou shalt not have centrifuges because youre secretly building underground nuclear facile silts to make bombs. You have neutron bombardment facilities. Theyre only for that. They say were making radio isotopes. What, to shoot out on ic bms to iranian patients orbiting the earth . Jur making medical isotopes to treat the orbiting iranians. Its ridiculous. Of course theyre out to make a bomb. He shouldn they shouldnt have centrifuges to that purpose. So the extent they have centrifuges which is contrary to our position, the more they have, the worse the deal gets. The fewer they have, the more time it would take them to enrich enough uranium to make the bomb. Is 5,000 too many. 5,000 would cut it down, the breakout time, the time it would take them to kick out the inspectors and enrich very rapidly. The lower enriched unirain yum into bomb grate uranium would be a very short time and it would imperil all of us. One final inquire, do you think president obama has been too passive in his assertion of American Power . There are people in the United States who feel that way. Do you think that he has been too passive or restrained . I think hes aware fully of the challenges that face the United States and the world. I mean, we had actually i thought a very deep conversation actually about the challenges, and i think the fact that he has chosen to act as he has, and its not an easy thing to be a leader who takes his country into battle, its not something that is done impetuously, and i say that from my experience as well, i think hes fully aware of the great challenges that face him, the United States, and the democracies of the world. We have to build alliances, but ultimately we have to, as i see it, certainly defeat isis, unquestionably, but also prevent this malignancy that is growing between east and west. In the west the great civilization of the United States and the east the rising powers, impressive powers in asia. Principally china and india and, of course, there are others. The world will readjust itself to this new structure, and i actually bode it well. But in between theres this wild growth, wild, of people with a desire to roll back modernity, constrict choice, subjugate women, eliminate gays, tell minorities you either convert to our creed or you die. Thats wild. No more relativism there. And these people are trying to arm themselves with territory, with weapons, with nuclear weapons. That is a threat to our Common Future, and i think this is the largest challenge. I never lose sight of that. Not only to me. They all want to destroy my country, israel, but i think to everyone, and increasingly people see that, and certainly the arabs. The arab states around us see it. I think theres a challenge but theres also hope. Do you trust obama on this challenge . I trust him to do what is important for the United States, but i think that were the jury is out on all of us. The jury is out on all of us. We have to were going to be tested, all of us, and ultimately its not what we intend to do. Its what we end up doing, especially what we end up preventing. Prime minister, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. We just got many insights into how israels Prime Minister thinks. Up next, an interesting look inside the mind of chinas president whose views are much less wellknown. Anncr now you can merge the physical freedom of the car, with the virtual freedom of wifi.

But jim has afib, Atrial Fibrillation an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto®, jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto®. Like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesnt require regular blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. Gps proceed to the designated route. Not today. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. Onceaday xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions.

The three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. Save money and save lives. Yes on 46. What in the world is the leader of the second largest economy on the planet thinking . Thats a question many would love to know the answer to, but in a closed secretive society like china, its all but impossible to know. He rarely gives interviews and the press in china is far from free. But now we have something to look at. Chinese president xi jinping has a new book entitled the governance of china and its 5i78ing for worldwide impact. State media reports the book has been published in nine languages, chinese, english, french, russian, arabic, spanish, portuguese, german, and japanese. My next guest, Robert Lawrence kuhn says its a while stone. He is the author of how chinas leaders think. Welcome. Pleasure to be here. First, give us a sense of who this man is for our viewers. Who is xi jinping and why is he a little different from chinas ordinary leaders. Xi jinping has been involved in really every aspect of what makes china today. His father was one of the founders of the country, truly a great revolutionary and a great reformer in the early days. Xi jinping went to college, degree in chemical engineering. Then he went through several two decades of work at the local level starting in a county and then a city and working his way up for many years in the province to become the governor and then for five years was the party secretary, the number one responsible for a province thats the center of entrepreneurship in china. That gives him a great sense of business. Thats when i first met him in 2005 and then in 2006. Seeing him work in the local area, and hes a person when you see him who is unassuming. Hes big, he has a strong presence in a room, but you feel very comfortable with him. He doesnt put on airs. Hes very warm and very friendly. Everybody says that. What does the book say about nationalism . What is the picture that comes across of xi jinping as a nationalist. First of all, the book has 18 different categories, 7 of which deal with international affairs. I think that already is significant. Other sections deal with political activities, peoples standard of living have six sections and four deal with behaviors. In terms of nationalism you see china at least in the book, which is what china and president xi wants the world to see, what you see is xi is what i would call a strong patriot, and as such he will be very tough on issues like maritime territoriality. Issues in hong kong today, i dont expect any flexibility there because he believes in order for china to truly realize the chinese dream, which is his overarching political philosophy, is the rejuvenation of the chinese nation. The great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. And this comes in terms of his political philosophy as well. Certainly theres a great defense of socialism and the singular leadership of the communist party. No doubt about it. But it is now being infused with traditional chinese values. Confuciusism is making a tremendous come back. The president is promoting that. In melding together ancient chinese philosophy, particularly confuciusism with a socialist ideal that is, of course, greatly modified in terms of chinese characteristics which brings the market in to have a decisive role. You have socialist attitudes of government, the market playing a decisive role in leading china forward, and underlying it or infusing it is ancient chinese tradition. Robert lawrence kuh n, pleasure to have you on. Thank you.

Plus hook up the family with the Samsung Galaxy s5 for zero down on wednesday the next can army captured a man known as its engineer whom the next can government called, quote, one of the main leaders of Drug Trafficking in mexico, unquote. It was a major success in that nations war on drugs. Last week i had a chance to sit down with the president of mexico to talk not only about drugs and immigration but also about the things mexico is Getting Better known for. Things like trade and the impressive reforms that president Enrique Pena Nieto has pushed through including amending the constitution to open up its Energy Sector. Listen in. Mr. President , pleasure to have you on. Translator thank you so much for this great opportunity. Its really a pleasure to be here. I know you are opposed to the legalization of marijuana, so i wanted to ask the question to you in a slightly different way. Have you noticed any effect of the partial legalization of marijuana in certain states in america . I mean, one of the things that people who advocate the legalization of marijuana point out is that it would take a lot of the crime out. It would take a lot of the illegal money out. It would regulate it the way alcohol is regulated and provide tax revenues to the government. Do you not find that compelling . Translator i dont see it that way. I instead think this is a door of access to drug consumption to the most harm of the drugs and it eventually will generate an environment of more violence as well and we will have to see in those states that have already legalized marijuana consumption what social behaviors are they seeing and if whatever gave way to this eventual legalization in those states, has it really resulted in the economic benefits for those states and for society at large . I dont think that is the case. However, i do insist we have to hold a debate with evidence showing exactly what is happening throughout the world and what is also happening in the states of the American Union where they have legal otherwised it. You know, in the United States when people think about mexico still it is immigration that dominates the way they think about it. What do you think when you hear the debate about immigration in washington . Translator first of all, i think the relationship between mexico and the United States is a lot broader and sometimes it would be surprising to know that many details of the relationship. The number of daily crossings, legal crossings, every day. About 1 Million People every day, legal crossings that come. People coming and going from one country to the other because of work and trade and the trade level that we have which is so broad which we will probably talk about. But when you hear some of the antiimmigrant language, the rhetoric, do you think its racist . Translator i think its discriminatory, yes, and i think its unfortunate for a country whose formation and historic origin relies so much on the migration flows of many parts, europe, asia, for instance. I think this is a country whose jorin to a great extent is one of mi graths agration and thats unfortunate to hear this exclusionary and discriminatory tones regarding migration flows into the United States. Today we have to recognize that the migration that comes from mexico to the United States has fall. There is a lower number of mi grants to balance between those who are coming to the United States and thats going back to mexico is practically a zero balance today, and that reflects the fact that in mexico we are opening greater opportunities for those who dont want to leave their country or those who have no need to go looking for a new opportunity of personal or professional growth. You have done a fairly impressive set of reforms in the time you have come into office. You have reformed the Energy Sector which required an amendment to the constitution. You have reformed the Telecommunications Sector which many people thought you wouldnt be able to do. You broke up carlos slims monopoly. You have taken on the Teachers Union and had reform there. Youve been cheered by a lot of people in the west, by economists, by experts, but people in mexico are more worried, and your Approval Ratings have gone down. Will you persist in this policy of Structural Reforms which are in a sense medicine that youred a minute streistering which isc certain amount of dislocation and pain . Translator i think in the first months which is what we have to recognize, in the first months of this administration, in the first 20 months, we have been able to materialize a package of Structural Reforms that had been postponed for many years. Were materializing them, and now society is waiting. People are expecting these reforms to actually bring them tangible, sensitive, and concrete benefits and to ensure this we have to speed up the process of implementation. We are now in this stage. And i think to the extent that people start feeling the benefits, we are going to have more backing and sympathy for the reforms we have reached. And i am certain that they are going to bring mexico greater growth, more opportunities for job and professional development for more mexicans and that this will allow us to have more progress. Mr. President , thank you very much for joining us. Translator thank you so much for this opportunity. Next up, 30 years ago bill cosby changed what americans saw on television, but did the comedian and his show also change the face quite literally of american politics . Just over 30 years ago the cosby show premiered on American Television screens. It was ground breaking, especially for the way it portrayed this africanamerican family with bill cosby as the patriarch. But did it break so much ground that without it barack obama might not be our president . Thats what my next guest says. Mark whitaker is the author of the new book cosby his life and times. I should note mark was cnns managing editor until last year and many years ago we worked together at newsweek. Actually he was my boss. Welcome back. Hi, for reareed. Explain that idea. You talk about it in the book, if not for bill cosby and thes whody cosby show, barack obama may not be president. Karl rove was on fox news and talking to Chris Wallace about the social significance of the election and they pointed out for the first time we were going to have an africanamerican family in the white house and karl rove said, now, wait a second, weve already had an africanamerican family that was sort of americas family and that was the huxtables and the cosby show. The point was picked up by others in the days after that. In electing obama we werent just electing a politician. We were also sending his family to live in our National Home in the white house and to a large degree i think that was never a point of controversy during the election i think partly because of the cosby show. The point about this is its not just that america was transformed in maybe the 80s and 90s by law but there was a social change that took place that accepted black as middle class upright and the cosby show was at the center of this transform chitiatio transformation. Thats why i was interested in studying bill cosby. Apart from the great politicians and civil rights leaders we can name, you know, i think there are very few africanamericans who have had a big as big an impact on our society, and that show did two things that i think were what i call quietly radical. On the one hand, it presented a picture of africanamerican family life that everybody could identify with, white families, and around the world, too, people of different color and so forth. At the same time black families looked at that show and saw in the background a tremendous amount of black culture. They saw jazz, saw black art, they saw historically black college. They saw a quiet support for the struggle in south africa. So it was also incredibly affirming i think for the black population. Do you think bill cosby intended this . Was this all part of a kind of quiet plan . Well, you know, its very interesting. Now that i have gotten to know him a little bit and it took a while because, you know, it took me a year of reporting before i got any cooperation from him. On the one hand, what i show in the book is that he has always had a very strong sense of social conscience, even though and often he was criticized for not bog more racial humor, political humor as a performer. In fact, behind the scenes hes always supporting civil rights causes and using his power and his money to get africanamericans hired and so forth and so on. On the other hand, once i actually got to know him and interview him, you see that a lot of this is not strategic really on his part. Its much more intuitive and instinctive because thats the way he thinks. He has this amazing kind of intuition and hes been a pioneer in all of these areas but if you ask him to articulate his vision, his strategy, he really cant do it because he talks in stories. You also talk about one event that radicalized certainly his wife and perhaps even him which is the death of his son. And its just, firstly, a beautifully written part of the book, but tell that story. What happened to bill cosbys son . Well, ennis cosby, he was his only son, cosby has five children, like on the huxtables, and he cosby had always want a son. He had a very difficult relationship with his own father, and ennis turned out to be, you know, this incredibly handsome, good natured boy except he struggled in school. And it wasnt until he was in school in atlanta that he was diagnosed with dyslexia. And that sort of turned his life around and he decided he was going to commit himself to becoming an educator and he was in the midst of studying to get his doctorate at columbia, he goes on vacation to los angeles, and he gets a flat tire on the san diego fraeway, pulls over and in the course of changing his tire, he was shot dead by when they finally found him it turned out it was sort of this delinquent immigrant thug sort of character. And, you know, for cosby, you know, of course, losing a child is about the worst thing that can happen to anybody. I show there are a couple things that help explain who bill cosby is today that flow directly from that tragedy. One is he copes with it probably by going back to work. Hes always been an incredible work ahallic. He makes it look easy on stage but he has always worked very hard. To this day hes on the road every week giving standup concerts and performances. Also, a lot of what you heard from bill cosby about sort of what some people view as lecturing the black community about the importance of education and the importance of Good Parenting and so forth in my view a lot of that in his mind is an effort to give some meaning to this awful tragedy of losing his son. Mark whitaker, pleasure to have you on. Great to see you, fareed. Up next, according to a new report the Global Wildlife population decreased by half in just 40 years. An amazing statistic.
