A successful outcome is dependent upon involvement from russia, india, iran and pakistan. It has to decide how much to involve india that would shift the strategic landscape all tolg together. This is the difficult work of diplomacy that the trump a administratiad administration has decided to ignore. For more go to cnn. Com fareed and read my Washington Post column this week. Lets get started. Another day, another Head Scratching Tweet from donald trump. This time its about
Indepth examinations of global issues, featuring interviews and roundtable discussions. Fwheeded this fwheed need this is because rime is Running Ramp Aant in mexico . We do not carry on the relationship between tweet. This rampant in mexico . We do not carry on the relationship between tweet. We dont negotiate through social media. Its not an issue we should allow defined by. Do you have any sense from your negotiations with them as to whether they have ever brought up the issue of mexico paying for the wall in a serious way. Is there any proposal . Is there any american proposal thats serious that would have you pay for the wall . We made it clear that the president has been transparent about the fact theres no circumstance under which mexico would pay for wall. Therefore, he says not being part of the conversation. Ive been part of every negotiation since the Trump Administration started. We never discussed that because its an issue that we all know. I think they know what mexicos position about it. Its not a position that will change. You will not find any mexican who is willing to accept the notion of that. That is not an issue. Its not an issue that defines the negotiations. Another joint problem, it seems to me, the fact that mexico is no longer, a country thats exporting migrants as a transient country. Theres more people trying to get in from mexico from Central Mexico than there are mexicans trying to get into the u. S. Do you find the Trump Administration is sympathetic to this issue and tries to work with you on it . I think that theres a much
better understanding for what the actual numbers. For over 15 years, net migration from mexico into the u. S. Has been negative. Every year more people coming back into mexico than people from mexico, mexicans trying to get into the United States. However, mexico, as your absolutely right, as become a transit country. We are facing the fact that hundreds of thousands of Central Americans try to get into mexico with the purpose of staying into mexico but get into the United States. This presents a significant challenge for every country involved. For guatemala, honduras, el salvador and the United States. This is a shared challenge. We should Work Together in sharing human rights that all migrants are treated well and we cannot just address a problem by joining to enforce border control. Thats part of the solution but
the real solution is to invest jointly in developing central america. This is something our future president is strongly proposing. I want to ask you about the election if youre a recent of the president. For the last 20 years mexico has been Lekts Ielecting governments been very proamerican. Thats really transformed the relationship which for many decades before that was adversarial. He was polling low numbers. Then donald trump announces his nomination and starts blasting mexico. Do you think he was elected president of the mexico because the mexican people wanted to show an act of defiance against
Donald Trumps antimexican rhetoric . Im not the political analyst. I will defer that question to the people who really understand political science. Mexico has a sufficiently election. It was a transparent process that we elected a new president with strong, popular support. Im very encouraged by the fact that the transition is happening very smoothly and were collaborating with the future government, the future president. That includes the relationship with the u. S. Were neighbors. We will remain neighbors. Its much better for the people of america and mexico to have a good relationship. Its encouraging no matter what was said. Both in the u. S. And then in mexico. Thats in the past. What i see is a build up of a
good relationship and nothing can be better for the people of mexico than having a constructive, respectful relationship with the u. S. Mr. Foreign minister, pleasure to have you on. Thank you. Great to see you. Next on gps. Little rocket man. President trump has gone from calling kim jongun names just a few months ago to tweeting very nice things about him. Is it possible to imagine such a 180 degree turn on iran as well . The president seems to have opened that door this week. More on that when we come back. Electronic Dance Music woman it felt great not having hepatitis c. Its like a load off my shoulders. I was just excited for it to be over. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of Chronic Hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter Million People and is proven to cure up to 99 of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Before starting harvoni your doctor will test to see if youve ever had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious Liver Problems during and after harvoni treatment. Tell your doctor if youve ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take
including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. Ready to let go of hep c . Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. Counterpart, never, ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. Then this monday trump took a different tone saying this at a news conference. I would meet with iran if they wanted to meet. I dont know if theyre ready yet. Theyre having a hard time right now. I ended the iran deal. It was a ridiculous deal. I do believe they will probably end up wanting to meet. Im ready to meet any time they want to. He went onto say there would be no preconditions to a meeting. At the end of the week iran conducted a naval exercise in the straits of hormuz. What is going on inside iran . Joining me now to fill us in is Tehran Bureau chief for the New York Times. Thomas, what do you make of this naval exercise . This is, of
flexing by the iranians. They have said we can close off the strait of hormuz into the persian gulf, into which 20 of the worlds Nrnl Flenergy flows. They want to send a signal to the United States but also their renalal allies that rye riran cn do. This can close off the strait of hormuz. Iran can do. This can close off the strait of hormuz. Iran can do. This can close off the strait of hormuz. Iran can do. This can close off the strait of hormuz. Iran can do. This can close off the strait of hormuz. Would that not cause rouge r huge Ripple Effects through the straits . Absolutely. Thats why i dont think iran is really intent on closing off the strait of hormuz. If they would do so, not only would they not be able to export their own oil, they would very possibly invite Military Action by the United States or its
regional allies. As you mentioned, china, irans only remaining customer for oil plus irans main Trade Partner would be hit very hard by a rise in Energy Prices and by shortage of oil. They would alienate the chinese if they close off the straight of hormuz. What are iranians making of Donald Trumps offer . Casually stated that he would be willing to meet with no conditions. What the iranian officials would say or have said is something thats pretty clear. They are ideological. They wanted to speak public to the yiUnited States in the past0 years. I spoke to a building constructer, a lawyer, a hairdresser. They all said why dont we talk to donald trump. This remark comes from the
background of irans declining economy. The National Currency has lost over 80 of its value in the last year. Take your bank account and just deduct 80 . Thats what happened to iran, to the Purchasing Power of iranians here in this country because of mismanagement by irans leaders but also because of the threats of sanctions. Sanctions that will be implem t implemented in first round of u. S. Sanctions from august 6th. These people are saying why dont we talk to United States. The North Koreans are talking to the United States. The taliban wants to talk to United States. Why cant iran do that . That was the sentiment on the street. The regime is clearly under pressure. The economy is doing badly. The iran deal seems to have fallen through. Not many successes. Meanwhile the u. S. Administration, mike pompeo, is
clearly outlining a strategy of regime change. The Israeli Government is feeding these fires. Does it feel to you like were in some kind of prerevolutionary moment where this regime could collapse . For revolution you would need lots of people on the streets. We are seeing protest in iran. In the past six months theres been simmering protests across the country. In january, you might remember in over 80 cities people took to the streets. 25 people were killed. Almost 4,000 people arrested. In the months following that period, theres been low level protests, if you will. H hundreds of people in this city. Hundreds of people in that city. Those protests have been picked up. Theres been protesting in cities. What is not just happening at this point is the bulk of the iranians, the iranian middle class is joining in this
protest. They feel the outcome of such protest is still too uncertain to join in. Many people say they are fed up with their leaders and many people also say they dislike donald trump. They at this poipt in time dont yet see how this protest can change their life for the better. As always, pleasure to have you on. Thank you. Next on gps. When the hoover dam was built, it was perhaps the most ambitious and innovative project of its time. Now nearly a century later, modern innovators have new plans for the dam that could rock the world again. Find out what is going on when we come back. Want to end the d.

Stunning mass of cement and rebar. It became an emblem of new ideal rebirth. They drove the cities. Now a fascinating New York TimesStory Vealreveals a new plan th could be just as revolutionary. Engineers want to turn it into what the times call a giant battery. In other words, place not just to generate but to store Renewable Energy. Heres how it would work. They built a pump station as far as 20 miles downstream from the dam powered by the solar and wind farms that pepper the american west. That pump drive water upstream. This is whats known as pump storage. Its impressive. Spinning solar and wind to hydroelectric power. It solves a problem. Were in the midst of an emergency revolution. The first phase was about generating. Theres been lots of progress on that front as cheap chinese solar panels have flooded glow
ball markets. Solar Power Generation increased by more than 25,000 percent. Ball markets. Solar Power Generation increased by more than 25,000 percent. Glo. Solar Power Generation increased by more than 25,000 percent. Glol markets. Solar Power Generation increased by more than 25,000 percent. Now we need storage. Solar and wind are so called intermittent sources. That means theyre here one minute, gone the next. As they scale up, they start causing problems. Take california which leads the nation in solar capacity. In the middle of the day when the sun is shining, solar floods the Electricity Grid but then disappears at night when people need electric power night. Sometimes the state simply shuts down solar panels during the day to avoid overloading the grid. More isnt always better unless you have storage which is the next phase of the energy revolution. In taming the sun, a fascinating new book that tackles these
issues, the author reveals a startling statistic. In the United States turned off all its sources of electricity, it has enough Storage Capacity to power the country for just 43 minutes. Storage has a long way to go but many smart people have very big ideas for what to do about it. Last year elon musk made the Worlds Largest lithium battery. The agile responding to outages in a fraction of a second and can store up to 129 megawatt hours of wind energy. Thats still a drop in the bucket but its a start. Heres another wild idea. Solar fuels. Scientists are working on technology that would use the suns rays to split a molecule of water and funnel the hydrogen for fuel. Fuel is a much easier way to store energy than batteries. Bill gates is fupnding some of the research. These ideas might sound overly ambitious but so did building the hoover dam 90 years ago. Next, the Democratic Party in the midst of a Soul Searching Debate about its identity. Bern kn Bernie Sanders has a clear idea where his it should go. Pl im home. Child, voiceover she gave them some broth. Without any bread. [siren in distance] and kissed them all soundly. Lights out. Good night. Child, voiceover and put them to bed. Hunger is a story we can end. End it at feedingamerica. Org. American unemployment is way down. Theres still more than six Million People in is u. S. Who would like a job but dont have one. What to do . My next guest has a plan. Under her job guarantee plan, every one who wants to work would be guaranteed a job that pays at least 15 per hour. Who would pay for this . The federal government. How exactly without racking up even more debt . Stephanie who was an Economic Advisor for the Bernie SandersCampaign Says the federal government doesnt have to worry about how to pay for it. I wanted to understand more. She started by telling me how she came up with the job guarantee plan. When fdr talked about a bill of economic rights, he was talking about really guaranteeing certain things to
all americans. Number one on the list was the right to employment. This is an idea thats become sort of popular lately. You have a number of people in both the house and the senate who have introduced legislation to try to make fdr and Martin Luther kings dream a reality. It asks the question would we create a job for every one who wants to work in america. Isnt that flying the face of basic capitalism which is to say the market determines whether there are needs and companies try to fill those needs. Thats the process by which it happens. The idea of actually intervening in the job market is seen as more market unfriendly. I think its extremely market friendly. Its extremely probusiness. What it does is say right now what were doing is leaving millions of people behind. They want work and they cant find it anywhere else in the economy. On some level the real economy, the private economy is failing millions of people. What the federal job idea guarantee does is say what if we ensure that everybody who wants to work is afforded the opportunity to a job. What we foinind is if we were t put people to work, we raise Economic Prosperity for everyone. It benefits private business as well. How much would it cost . It depends where are in the business cycle. If you start now, it will be less costly. If youre trying to do this when youre shedding 800,000 jobs a month it will be more expensive. The ooanswer is youre probably going to employ 15 Million People and spending something between 400 and 550 billion annually. The premise is is it fair to say that your basic view is the
government cant run out of money. That all the people on the riepright and left who worry about Social Security and medicare and Student Loans and say trillions of dollars, what you seem to be saying is it doesnt really matter. Youre saying the government can print more if it runs out. I dont you that terminology but thats what it is. The United States government, federal government of the United States of america is the source of the u. S. Dollar. They are the issuer of the currency. They have given the Exclusive Right to create the currency. Theres big trouble. They have the Exclusive Right to create the dollar. That gives them extreme power. They have the power of the purpose. They can never face bills that they cant pay. Financial constraint isnt the relevant constraint. Its inflation. Do we have the machine, the factory, the materials to do as much as wed like to do. Isnt the problem that if you print all this money, you produce inflation because the expectations of everybody changes. This is what happened in germany in the 1920s which led to hyperinflation. This is whats happening in various countries. No. Printing money doesnt cause inflation. Spending money can be inflationary. Thats why i keep saying the limits are real and governments cant just spend willy nilly. Who do you think they arent up against these already when you have debt to gdp levels that are as high as they were after world war irkii. People say were already at the limits. If we had 21 trillion in debt
and the Interest Income was being received then i would say we have a limit. We have hit the limit. Thats not the case. Do you think the democrats are ready to be as bold and radical as youre describing . I think they are reaching really high. I dont know if are they are ready to be as bold as im suggesting we could be but what were starting do s ining to set of democrats are some pretty ambitious policy proposals. I think they are reeaching high. Behind ever politician was an academic scribbler writing way. If we hear these ideas, youll know who was scribbling behind the scenes. Thank you. Up next, the godfather, the graduate. Why the first few minute ofs of film can be so important. Fascinating stuff from the woman who opened my eyes to the won r
wonders of movies. Back in a moment. Hawaii is the first state in the u. S. To have 100 Renewable Energy goal. Were a very small electric utility. But, if we dont make this move were going to have changes in our environment, and have a negative impact to hawaiis economy. Verizon provided us a solution using Smart Sensors on their network that lets us collect near Real Time Data on our power grid. colton this technology is helping us integrate rooftop solar, which is a very important element of getting us to our Renewable Energy goals. shelee if we can create our own energy, we can take care of this beautiful place that i grew up in.

Immediate and long lasting dry mouth symptom relief. When i speak at college campuses, im often asked a question for me thats easy to answer. The question is what was your favorite college course. You might expect it to be something on Foreign Policy or history or economics. It was not. The course i took at yale that captivated me the most was classics in the history of American Cinema or Something Like that. It was taught by the great film scholar. Once a week in the class i was able to escape the pressures of a students life and enter other worlds as imagined in the greatest films of all time. Its my great pleasure to be reunited with my professor today. Welcome. Im delighted to be here. Why is it that you wanted to write a book about the opening
scenes of movies . Why Opening Scenes so important . First impressions count. Whether its meeting someone for the first time or sitting down in that theater and watching the opening images. Thats going to determine whether you want to stay with the person or the movie. In terms of film, i have found that most of the great movies tell you, they give you in first few scenes the keys by which to unlock the rest of the movie. You give an example of shindlers list. Describe that Opening Scene. Its such a powerful illustration of what youre saying. It could have begun in a number of ways. It was the lighting of a Sabbath Candle and you hear the hebrew prayer. Something with ritual and c continuity and survival. The smoke from the candle becomes the smoke of a train in
landscape that takes you into our view of world war ii. Thats the second of say two layers of the opening. In that second one you see lists being typed introducing the importance of typing names. Then you see a man but only through his hands in a room. The mystery. Who is this person . We assume its the Title Character but all we hear are details. Even when he goes to a nightclub, spielbburg refuses to show his face. Why . I thought about that a lot after watching the film twice. I decided he is introducing so many important elements of film such as the mystery. Why did this profiteering, member of the nazi party list
his life to save 1100 jews during the holocaust . Well never really know. Theres a scene from the classroom but the godfather. Many people think of as the greatest film of all time. That Opening Scene is extraordinary. The line that it begins with. This immigrant, he says i believe in america. I believe in america. I love the gradual reveal. This is what when i first saw the godfather, even though i was quite young, i knew i was in the hands of master story teller. Its not just the lines become spoken closely into the camera. Its the gradual reveal. The camera slowly pulls back to show you were in darkened room. Its a slight wave of his wrist that tells me hes in the frame. Then we cut to him, and i start to understand how the power of this man is indirect. Its quiet. Its extensive. I didnt know there were other men in the room at the beginning of the shot. Then i realized, this is his doma domain. You talk about how you can have a very intelligent film maker convey his intelligence immediately. The first line of dialogue as we see benjamin sitting in an airplane is were beginning our dissent into los angeles. Nichos said he was proud the entire theme was encapsulated in that. A vozoom flattens space. We move from benjamins face in a way thats appropriate because it expresses his emotional situation returning to his parents home. That kind of flattening. When ghhe gets to the airport, expresses his lack of control. Hes on this Conveyor Belt much like suitcases. Theres a line when you see the suitcase, do they match. Some film makers are not content to merely tell a good story. They find the exactly appropriate cinematic language. In way your message to people who go to the movies is seeing a movie by an important director, theyre being very thoughtful about how they construct these movie, particularly the Opening Scene, so pay attention. Thats exactly my message. You said it. Its to be alert. To have an active engagement
with a movie. Some people go and absorb like a sponge. Im interested in another kind of cinema. Im going to use that term. Its part of the history of art. Its part of how still so many of us learn about the world. Pleasure to have you on. Thank you. Next on gps, Finding Christ and finding votes. How the power of the evangelical vote in the u. S.
