on these grids? you re absolutely right. first, i would say we already reach about a million customers, 550,000 in india alone. what we see from those customers is not just that they pay their bills and use power and electricity, we see that they move themselves up the economic ladder. they might buy an electronic sewing machine and start a small business, or they might be an agriculture producer who then uses a rice hulling machine to improve their economics of their own business and lift their families up. that trend is taking off all over the world, and we believe that we will hit the targets we defined at the top, of reaching a billion people within a decade with renewable energy so that they re no longer undersieved and finally connected to the economic ladder of globalization and they can lift up themselves and their communities out of poverty. rajiv shah, this is a terrific, ambitious project and we wish you well. thank you, fareed. next on gps, it has come

this is the fundamental mistake, you know, when you saw india modi embracing putin, that was a symbol. it is hard to manage but we better manage it and not just black and white the difference. on that philosophical note, kishore mahbubani, david miliband and anne-marie slaughter, thank you very much. if you want to learn more, watch a new documentary praeling on cnn tonight, the sundance award-winning cnn film navalny, follows the russian opposition leader nealexi that valley through his attempted assassination, poisoning. it airs tonight at 9:00 on cnn. when we come back, a crisis in ukraine to the crisis around
