Recent uptick in violence there . Will it get worse . Refugees, how many should the United States take this. All that with an all star panel. Also, a nuclear deal with iran. Normalized relations with cuba, big accomplishments but was a deal reached this week even more important. I will talk to the United States trade representative about negotiating the Transpacific Partnership. Another workweek is about to begin. How would you like to work just six hours a day, get paid full salary and not get fired for it. Well show you how. First, heres my take. Recent setbacks in afghanistan from the bombing of a hospital in that city raised the question. Why after 14 years of American Military efforts is afghanistan still so fragile . After all the country has a democratic elected government widely viewed as legitimate. Poll after poll suggests the taliban are unpopular. The afghan army fights fiercely and loyally. Yet the taliban always come back. The answer to this puzzle can be found in a profile of the talibans new leader. It turns out that pe lives in quatar. Sometimes in an enclave where he and some other taliban leaders have built homes. We will bin laden lived for years in a compounds. All three of these cities are in pakistan. We cannot solve the problem of afghanistan without recognizing that the insurgency against the government has opinion accused of being shaped, aided and armed from across the border by one of worlds most powerful army. Someone inside or outside the u. S. Government points this out. No one knows quite what to do so its swept under the carpet and policy stays the same. This is not an incidental issue. Unless its confronted the taliban will never be defeated. This case many experts believe the insurgents, rebels have a Nuclear Armed sponsor. Pakistan has mastered the art of pretending to help the United States while supporting its most deadly foes. Take for example the many efforts american officials have made to start talks with the taliban. It turns out they were talking ghosts. All the while pakistani officials have been facilitating contacts and talks with him. This is part of a pattern. Pakistani officials from former president categorically deniy i that bin laden was living in pakistan. The Pakistani Army has been described as the godfather of the taliban. Pakistan was the base for the american supported majority as they battled the soviet union. The United States with drew almost as quickly and pakistan entered that strategic void. Now history is repeating itself. As the United States draws down, pakistan again seeks to expand its influence through long standing proxy. What should america do . First pakistans former ambassador to the United States, the u. S. Needs to see reality for what it is. Quote, when you are lied to and you dont respond, you are encouraging more lies, unquote. He argues that washington has to get much tougher with the Pakistani Military and make clear that its double dealing must stop. To do this would be good for afghanistan and stability in that part of world but it would also be good for pakistan. Pakistan is a time bomb waiting to explode. It ranks 43rd in the world by the size of its bank. It has one of the Worlds Largest armies. It maintains close ties with some of worlds most brutal terrorists. The country has five and a half million children who dont attend school. The worlds second highest number. As long as this military and its mind set are unchecked and unreformed the United States will face a strategic collapse as it with draws forces from the region. For more go to cnn. Com fareed. Lets get started. Lets get straight to the rest of this development and elsewhere with a really terrific panel. Ian is the president of a global risk consultant. Peter is contributing editor at the laatlantic. You have studied putin for a long time. What do you think is going on . Is this a sign of weakness or strength . Is he desperately trying to sure up a failing ally or is this an ingenious power. I think its a little bit of both. Ive always said hes not a strategist. He runs tactical circles around washington. It doesnt mean he has a strategy for the long run or if he does it its a good one. You dont know what will come out of his being in syria. On the other hand, he is economy is cratering. His military is still a lot weaker than the u. S. Military. You wrote a column saying there is smart if only obama could be this active. Hes defending a regime that has 80 of the population. Really a relatively small investment of a few plane, couple thousands soldiers. He sures up an ally. Russia has always wanted to expand in the mediterranean. Hes exploring an alliance with iran. What is the chance it will defeat isis . It will sure up a stand. Prove that he is a reliable patron to client states. Thats in his interest to show that russian power is power that you can depend on. You were shaking your head. I dont think hes out there to destroy isis. I dont think he wants to take casualties. That would be very unpopular back in russia. The europeans think that syria is more important than ukraine. You now understand the only road is going to go through moscow. If you combine that with the fact that the russians have told the paramilitaries on the ground back in ukraine back off your election, which theyve done. They have kept the ceasefire is working. Thats strategy. Thats not a tactic. You think its to get the europeans grateful to the russians and back off of sanctions against russia. The sanctions expire in december. Absolutely. One thing to do with increased terrorism. You put yourself on the opposite side of the entire world. Peter makes an excellent point. Putin is aligning himself with an exclusively shia coalition. The other thing hes doing is moving into areas the u. S. Has traditionally dominated. Just this week a representative of the Russian DefenseMinistry Said look at afghanistan, its a total mess. America is messing it up badly. If you think of the way hes sustained himself in power, the kgb agent becomes the reformist president in his first term, those early years. Hes like a frog who jumps from lily pad to lily pad. He feels one of them sinking under his weight he jumps to the next thing. This is how he sustains his power. It helps sure up his domestic problem. Its worked hard. Per capita income in russia has gone up a lot. They are effective vively blaming the United States. 9 90 get their media from television which is controlled by the russian state. At the end of the day i think that machine together with the fact putin is able to show some victories, beat the rest the couple of times, thats working well. He also scored seven goals this week for his 63rd birthday in hockey. Do you think obama should do anything to counter putin . No. You want to get into a quagmire in syria, be my guest. Just because a country has more troops and more planes flying over another country does not mean that its stronger. Its hard to see even if its help putin domestically in some way, very hard to see how it ends well. All right. Were going to come back and talk about the violence in israel. Well also talk about the trade bank when we come back. But it is not the device that is mobile, it is you. Real madrid have about 450 million fans. Were trying to give them all the feeling of being at the stadium. The microsoft cloud gives us the scalability to communicate exactly the content that people want to see. It will help people connect to their passion of living real madrid. The artificial heart, this ielectric guitarsdoers, and rockets to the moon. Its the story of america land of the doers. Doin it. Did it. Done. Doers built this country. The dams and the railroads. John henry was a steel drivin man hmm, catchy. They built the golden gates and the empire states. And all this doin takes energy no matter whos doin. Theres all kinds of doin up in here. Or what theyre doin. What the hecks he doin . Energy got us here. And its our job to make sure theres enough to keep doers doin the stuff doers do. To keep us all doin what we do. The citi double cash® card. Its a cash back winwin. With 1 when you buy and 1 as you pay. With two ways to earn on purchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem onesided. As we age, certain nutrients. Longer than ever. Become especially important. From the makers of one a day fiftyplus. New one a day proactive sixtyfive plus. With high potency vitamin b12. And more vitamin d. Still not sure whether to stay or go on that business trip . Should i stay or should i go well this fall stay with Choice Hotels two times and earn a free night. When it comes to business, you always have a choice. Book now at the new choicehotels. Com we are back. Before the break peter said the fact that russia is bombi ining syria, it does not mean power positions are improving. You disagree. Now the horrific refugee crisis. United states does have an interest. It has a humanitarian interest but we also have a geo political interest. In 1991 we created no fly zones over northern iraq. We saved a lot of curds by doing that but we helped to create the kurdish autonomous region. When we think about syria what youre talking about is any u. S. Involvement would have to be aimed at dislodging assad from power. We dislodge hussein from power. We did it in yemen. It feels like we know how this move will end. We have overcommitted in the past. The answer to that is not completely. First of all, syria is many countries. Just because we cant solve the riddle of syria doesnt mean we cant do a lot for the kurdish areas of syria to maintain some opposition. Something in this country thats decent and a source of instability. I would say the problem with syria is not obamas policy. Its whats hes been saying doesnt bear anything to that policy. Israel. What is going on with this rise of terrorism . Does it represent something bigger . Yeah, i think what it represents is both among israelis and palestinians the forces that actually genuinely want a real two state solution has been weakening and weakening over time. What youre see ing is a growth on both sides. I believe its growing weaker and weaker on both sides. Look, i also wanted two states and a decent palestinian state that can provide for its people and not be a thorn in the side. The problem is the failure of relationship. He has on the one hand tried and is trying as far as i know to tamp down violence. On the other hand he stokes it and he contributes to it politically by going to the u. N. And declaring the oslo cords are null and void. You need to generate a palestinian leadership that wants a twostate solution and is committed to that in some serious way and its talking out of both sides of its mouth. We have to move on. I have to ask quickly, as a refugee you wrote a piece about why the United States should take many more refugees. You think we should take more than what we are taking. Absolutely. I think america does quite an excellent job of taking in immigrants, refugee, absorbing them, making them into americans. The point i was trying to make in that piece is the idea of a refugee is a pretty politically selective idea. I was a refugee because i was jewish from the soviet union. We were able to get refugee status, get on a plane and in ten hours we were in washington, d. C. We didnt have to pay smugglers. We didnt have to make a dangerous sea crossing. We didnt get a chance to talk about tpp. What do you think of the transpacific pact . Its 40 of the world committee. Its deeper integration. Its by far the part of the world that we need to engage with the most. China which opposed it when it was first announced, now the leadership is saying these are important standards. Its like they used to talk about the world trade organization. This will go down as the single most important successful Foreign Policy legacy of the obama administration. The Transpacific Partnership is the most important Foreign Policy success of this administration. Next on gps we will sort it out with the architect of that deal. U. S. Trade representative michael froman. We got the new tempurflex and its got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress. You sink into it, but you can still move around. Now that i have a tempurflex, i can finally get a good nights sleep. vo change your sleep. Change your life. Change to tempurpedic. For my frequent heartburnmorning because you cant beat zero heartburn ahhh the sweet taste of victory prilosec otc. One pill each morning. 24 hours. Zero heartburn. The president s former secretary of state came out against it this week. Its 11 different nations compromising 40 of the economy. Why is mrs. Clinton against something shes pushed 45 times in the past publicly. If its such a great deal, why is the administration being secretive about the details . Well get to all of that with my thex guest, the man who oversaw the deal. Nice to have you on. Good to be here. First, 11 nations. This took six years. Its quite an accomplishment. Ive got to ask you what is the key to getting a deal of this magnitude. What did you learn about negotiating . It took a lot of persistence by all 12 countries working together to reach an agreement that will increase jobs and wages. It was six years in the making during a good bit of that time the secretary of state you were dealing with was Hillary Clinton. Publicly she supported it. Was she very supportive privately as well . I wont comment on president ial politics. Just to say were all focused on making sure through this agreement we can level the playing field. You must have been surprised by her opposition . Well, again, i think the key thing is to focus on having the deal on the table. Having people have chance to read it. Get into the details to make a judgment about it. Were convinced its a very High Standard deal. It opens markets around the world and eliminates 18,000 taxes on u. S. Exports. It raises labor, Environmental Standards around the world. It establishes new disciplines. All of which reflect American Interest and values. Im convinced as the people sit down and take the time to go thereupon it in detail they will come to a positive judgment. If this is such a good deal, why is it all secret . Its not all secret. We put out a lot of information along the way. Were looking forward to getting texts released as soon as possible. Its an international negotiation. What do you say to people about Bernie Sanders and donald trump who say the result of these american jobs get shipped overseas . We got 95 of all the World Consumers living outside the United States. Some of these are the Fastest Growing and largest economies in the world. Shipped from abroad we need access to those markets. Thats how we going to grow good paying jobs in the United States. If we can tear down these barriers. Were going to need more good paying jobs in the United States. Foreign policy component to this and it was something strongly supported by Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state. Do you hope that a president clinton would follow through on a policy that she was very much part of creating . I think this is a key part of the rebalancing toward asia strategy. Its one of most concrete m manifestations of that policy. Our partners want us to be embedded with them economically and strategically. The logic of that goal will continue to hold going forward. Could china see this as a kind of containment strategy the United States is ganging up with all its allies and trying to shut china out . Tpp is not directed against any country including china. It is directed at accomplishing High Standards for the region. Rules of the road that reflect our interest and our values. Its meant to encourage other countries to raise their game as well. We already have countries who contacted us and want to be considered for the next tpp partners. We expect more countries will join over time if they are able and willing to meet the High Standards of the agreement. Michael froman, thank you. Thanks for having me. Are you interested in Hillary Clintons thoughts on trade and this apparent flipflop . Make sure to tune in to the first democratic debate right here on cnn. Thats tuesday night at 8 30 p. M. Next on gps, im going to show you how you can work 30 hours a week and actually be more productive. Why do so many People Choose aleve . Its the brand more doctors recommend for minor arthritis pain. Plus, just two aleve can last all day. Youd need 6 tylenol arthritis to do that. Aleve. All day strong. Its tough, but ive managed. Crohns disease. But managing my symptoms was all i was doing. So when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. The Health Care Law gives us powerful tools to fight it. On medicare fraud. To investigate it. Prosecute it. And stop criminals. Our senior medicare patrol volunteers are teaching seniors across the country to stop, spot and report fraud. You can help. Guard your medicare card. Dont give out your card number over the phone. Call to report any suspected fraud. Were cracking down on medicare fraud. Lets make medicare stronger for all of us. This week sweden took center stage as this weeks nobel Prize Winners were announced. Theres another reason why theyve been in the news lately. They are pioneering a bold concept in the working world. The sixhour workday. Businesses all over sweden are foregoing 9 00 to 5 00 shifts for a 9 00 to 3 00 day for or s variation to improve their quality of life. Can working less give businesses a competitive advantage. Consider a study that found those working 40 hours or less per week out perform those who work more than 55 hours per week on certain tasks. In another study, a stanford economist concluded the number of hours somebody works isnt directly proportional to his output. About 48 working hours productivity goes down. Tony schwartz has explained people work better in short bursts rather than long grinds. In sweden, companies have been raving about the sixhour workday. The shorter days give employees more energy and they work better as a team with fewer disagreements. Another web outfit says it has a competitive advantage over companies with its shorter shift since it can attract and retain great workers with such a great perk. In the United States, Web Companies like relevance and tree house have reported stellar Employee Retention rates after implementing a four day workweek and googles larry page has also supported that idea. Yet, despite the arguments for shorter workdays American Workers seem to be spending a lot of time at the office. A 2014 survey found that American Adults working fulltime put in an average of 47 hours per week. Nearly a full business day more than the typical 40 hour workweek. Almost one in five americans work 60 hours per week or more. U. S. Workers logged more hours than any other country. Its worth remembering that a pioneer of the modern American Workplace, henry ford, cut back his employees hours as part of his revolutionary approach to making his workers happier and more productive. He had his doubters at the time but competitors soon imitated success and the rest is history. Its time to revolutionize the American Workplace once again and move away from that now outdated 9 00 to 5 00 model of work. As a progressive website todays white collar knowledge worker has about six hours of Productive Work in them each day, not eight. Technology has disrupted the workplace to is a certain extent. Theres a lot more to be done. Throughout the 20th Century America innovated its way to become the most vibrant productive nation on earth. Its time we invented more productive ways of working in the 21st century and more pleasant ones as well. Up next, some european leaders ignore the refugee crisis until it became politically expaid i cant to Pay Attention and look like heroes. Thats what one european leader will tell you when we come back. Jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive big day . Ah, the usual. Moved some new cars. Hauled a bunch of steel. Kept the supermarket shelves stocked. Made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. Whats up for the next shift . Ah, nothing much. Just keeping the lights on. laugh nice. Doing the big things that move an economy. See you tomorrow, mac. See you tomorrow, sam. Just another day at norfolk southern. Still not sure whether to stay or go on that business trip . Should i stay or should i go well this fall stay with Choice Hotels two times and earn a free night. When it comes to business, you always have a choice. Book now at the new choicehotels. Com last week i brought you part of a fascinating discussion i had with president bill clinton, italian prime minister. Theres more great stuff for you to see. This time theyre talking about the future of europe. We started off talking about the deep divisions the euro crisis had created. Im a great believer in the european union. Unfortunately, it was inspired the imagination of my generation. Unfortunately, we converted from a voluntary of free and legal nei nations devoted to principles of democracy. It became a relationship where the debtors had difficult meeting their obligations. That created this tension between character and that is by its nature unequal. Given that unequal nature and given the many crisis europe faces today, how does it get back on its feet . Here is italys prime minister. The question is where is the strategy of europe for the future . I think, this is my point of view, in the last month im not able tounderstandifthisis correct. Im really surprised the lack of support by some leaders. For example, refugees. We discussed a lot about refugees and the people told us in the european this is a problem of italy. I remember some colleagues who told me, this is your business not ours. After the crisis, after the picture in newspaper, the same leaders who told us this is your problem, realize interview incredible. I open my doors. I open my house to refugees. The same leader who told me this is your business to months before. Its not a joke. I dont say the name. What is the problem for europe . The lack of strategy. For italy its important and we too but we ask to European Community an idea for the next ten years, 20 years. The lack of vision would be the first problem more than division. The lack of vision is a problem more than the principle division. Why do you think its so hard to achieve reform in europe. I wouldnt want reform. Its the greatest life in the world. Its beautiful country. Amazingly rich. Incredibly nice work rules. You can take long vacations. You can retire early. Theyve created this paradise. Now their being told this is all going to change. You got to work harder. You got to retire. Its stuff for politicians to take stuff af way. For the last 30 years theyve been elected saying heres more. Heres more. It is. They created a good society. Its a question of how to handle growth. I believe if the immigration or refugee problem can be turned from a problem into an opportunity, just take syria, for example. Historically second lar and not super religious in terms of political violence. Europe is the only european country. Its younger than america. The irish were growing like crazy before they got by banking bubble. They had lots of immigrants. Having lost it, i can tell you youth matters. The demographics of a country will define how many new jobs you can create, how many you can allocate to consumer spending. Its very productive. France has high productivity growth. They have to because they have static work rules. The germans still have higher percentage gdp manufacturing and in exports and japan. Northern italy has had a higher per capita income that germany. In order to do this and make these decisions and trade offs you have to have a sane conversation and people have to be secure about it. Do i think they can grow like china . No. They dont want to give up, and they shouldnt, the level of social solidarity and economic equality they have achieved certainly greater than we have. They can have higher rates of growth. Its just a decision to be made. I think what you said is right. This whole thing should have a revision in the european idea. It should be a revision upward, not downward, in my opinion. Gentlemen, thank you very much. Thank you. Next, what mickey, minnie and mow have in common. The citi double cash® card comes in very handy with cash back twice. With 1 when you buy and 1 as you pay. With two ways to earn on purchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one sided. If i wanhello. O up. Or if i want to go down. No. But then if i want to come back again. Yes. Its perfect. My favorite part is to be able to lift your legs up a little bit and it feels like im just cradled. vo change your sleep, change your life, change to tempurpedic. As we age, certain nutrients. Longer than ever. Become especially important. From the makers of one a day fiftyplus. New one a day proactive sixtyfive plus. With high potency vitamin b12. And more vitamin d. Im a gas service my nrepresentative. N. Ive been with pg e nine years. As an employee of pg e you always put your best foot forward to provide reliable and safe service and be able to help the community. We always have the safety of our customers and the community in mind. My family is in oakland, my wifes family is in oakland so this is home to us. Being able to work in the community that i grew up in, customers feel like friends, neighbors and it makes it a little bit more special. Together, were building a better california. This week californias governor jerry brown signed into law the end of life option act. Its all about quality of death. It may be a grim topic but something we ought to talk about more. The Economist Intelligence unit ranked 80 countries by quality of death analyzing factors like care, affordability, care qualities. It brings me to my question, which country ranked number one in the 2015 quality of death index . Stay tuned. Well give you the correct answer. This weeks book of the week is unfinished business. This is not just the important book on working women that ive read recently, its the most important book about the workplace of tomorrow and how to get it right. Men and women must read it. Now for the last look. When you think of theme parks, you probably think of roller coasters and ferris wheels, mickey and minnie. Welcome to the communist party theme park. The chinese governments latest entry into the countrys burgeoning market. Here you are invited to explore the communist partys values. Wander through cartoon statues of chinese olympic medallist, soldiers and astronauts. Check out a kaleidoscope of socialist values. You can even take an oath to become a party member. Every childs dream, right . The government has been criticized for spending money on this propaganda park. Perhaps they should have included flashier rides like a communist coaster, a mild mountain. They might have taken a page from the russian neighbors and focused more on the red omni. Russia opened patriot park this summer dedicated to russias military. It attracts tens of thousands of visitors who want to spend time especially joying russias latest military weapons. Again again it might be better for children to play with chinese manifestos. The correct challenge is a, United Kingdom ranked number one in the Economist Intelligence unit quality of death index. Taiwan is sixth and the United States ranked nineth overall. Mo thanks to all you for being part of my program. See you next week. Good morning. Reliable sources begin this morning with breaking news out of iran where a court has finally issued a verdict in a possible sentence in the espionage jail of jailed journalist jason rezaian.
