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 againstDonald 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.

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. T
