My guest has been celebrated here at the World Economic forum in davos. Hes been given an award for his philanthropic work advancing womens rights. Hes Shah Rukh Khan, the bollywood superstar whose fan base runs into the billions. He says he wants to make the world a better place, but how far is he really using his voice to do that . Shah rukh khan, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much, zeinab, and thank you very much for having me over at hardtalk. Very glad to have you.

All right the u. S. President seemed in upbeat mood as he arrived here. And prosperity between israelis and palestinians that seems further away than ever you might think that when youve alienated one side in a negotiation in this case the palestinians you might reach out to the inc you very much flanked by israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the author of the art of the deal showed that not his way when they disrespected us a week ago by not allowing our great Vice President to see them and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and support tremendous numbers numbers that nobody understands that money is on the table that money is not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace because i can tell you that israel does want to make peace and theyre going to have to want to make peace or were going to have nothing to do with it. Of course the reason the president pence on his visit was shunned by the palestinian president and heckled by palestinian members o
The president says he will sit down with Robert Mueller under oath. But once again questions the integrity of the fbi. And davos is one of the most expensive places to be in the world right now, well look at whats its like if youre not one of the global elites get in touch with us using the hashtag beyond one hundred days hello and welcome.

When they disrespected us a week ago by not allowing our great Vice President to see them, when we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and support, tremendous numbers, numbers that nobody understands, that money is on the table. That money is not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace, because i can tell you that israel does want to make peace. And theyre going to have to want to make peace too, or we will have nothing to do with it any longer. Donald trump also met theresa may. It hasnt
