Disclosed. Will it mean anything . Benjamin netanyahu is under pressure politically and legally. An indictment is looming and he might lose power in next months election. Can he pull off a victory . With the deadline for brexit looming the british Prime Minister is under pressure. A major vote this week in parliament will tell a lot. Tick tock. Tick tock. First here is my take. Special counsel Robert Muellers report which is expected to be delivered to the attorney general soon will end up being a great test of american democracy. How will we handle it in a nakedly partisan fashion . Or as a way to bolster our constitutional system . Its much noted were living in the era of end ruled democracies. Countries are undermining independent institutions, violating important norms and accumulating unbridaled power. In america the story is mixed t. Political system has functioned poorly. On the other hand some american institutions have pushed back. The judiciary has maintained its independence. The fbi have demonstrated that they serve the country and constitution above the current occupant of the white house. The press has by and large been able to withstand the extraordinary pressure of a president who almost daily attacks it. The greatest check on trump has surely been the public itself. Placing some limits on the president s behavior by voting in the midterms and expressing itself through opinion polls and protest. I have been watching events 7,000 miles away in india. There a democratly elected leader, his pressure often worked. So did it intimidation of the press which has become a ha handmaid even of his party. The dgp recently experienced a lobbing at the ballot box. Indias dominant party lost several key elections. Why . In a word diversity. In a new book, its noted the dominant reality of indian politics is diversity. They have ethnic groups and glasses. It was explained that this Company Guides india into 14 sub regions because of its diversity. That compares with the 20 countries of the middle east that gets put in four groups. This diversity has become indias greatest advantage. Theres money, a large parliament and spending programs to buy peoples votes. Even then recent polls indicated his coalition would fall short of a majority. Things have changed because of indias tit for tat with pakistan. In the book how democracies e die the authors make the case that diversity helps forge the culture of compromise and tolerance thats crucial to democracys success. They argue the Republican Party has become sorry ji so rigid. Most western countries are going to become diverse. Thats demographic reality. India demonstrates how that diversity could rescue and strengthen democracy. For more go to cnn. Com fareed. Lets get started. In a hearing wednesday on capitol hill senator marco rubio claimed that Saudi Crown Prince had gone full gangster. In the hot seat was President Trumps nominee to be ambassador inry in rijad. He reminded senators of the importance of u. S. saudi relationship. Joining me is the founder of the pro saudi think take based in washington. What do you make of this coming from an ally of President Trump, marco rubio . It feels like the attitude among saudi arabia has really changed. Well, it clearly has. I think what theyre all missing is that saudi arabia has had to go through a period of wrenching change in the last two years. Wrenching change in any south throughout history is extremely dangerous and the saudi government has gotten more author tarn hoping to keep the ship together. They have succeeded well actually. You havent had street demonstrations or terrorism or any popular negative reaction to the change. Particularly empowering women, not just letting them drive, but bringing them fully into the workforce, something that was unpopular with the reactionary right. Change in a very polarized society is very, very dangerous. The government has gotten more author tarn. Now has there been elements of overreach . Certainly with the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, with the arrests of women there has been overreach. With the speed and with everything thats been done, they made some mistakes, some serious mistakes coming along the way. Thats what happens when you have change. Let me ask you about a specific one which puzzles me which is the case of the u. S. Doctor who we now know was arrested and thrown in the ritz carlton. Then sent to regular saudi jail. Apparently has been tortured. There have been no charges, no public discussion of it. The u. S. Seems to the Trump Administration does not seem to be pressing hard. What im puzzled by is the brutality, the torture for a regime that described itself as not being repre sieve. Why would they do this to an american citizen . Why would they do it during the Trump Administration . It seems an in sut and rebuke to an American Administration thats been very supportive of him. Hes a saudi citizen also. He has dual citizenship. Yes. Under international law, in either country youre a citizen of that country. Im not talking about the legality of it. Why would you disrespect the Trump Administration by doing this . I dont think they see it as such. Under saudi law, you are not allowed to name and shame, so to speak, somebody when theyre arrested or even when theyre indicted. Youre only allowed to do that after judgment comes out. What happens is you enter the unfortunate situation where you have a lot of people in jail and yet nobody knows why theyre in jail. The saudi government is going to have to change that, do something about that where they come out with a detailed charge sheet that says here is why we have arrested so and so. Now you may agree or disagree with it. At least they will have justified why from their perspective they see such actions as necessary. Now frankly theres total confusion him. I dont know much about the doctor. It seems unfortunate. There must be some story with him that the government has not explained. They should do that. Theyre paying a very heavy price and nobody is giving them the benefit of the doubt. The same reports of torture by the way, which are very credible, have come out about the women advocates who advocated the lifting of the driving ban that was then instituted. Again, im sure youre going to say its overreach. It does feel like saudi arabia is turning into much more of a Traditional Middle Eastern police state where these things are kind of routine. I dont think theyre routine. If the ffinformation about the women is correct, it is shocking and has shocked saudi society. Why isnt the crown prince doing something that announces a reform of the system, a clean up or something to it feels to me at least like theyre paralyzed right now. Theres all this in the eastern western world and some other democratic countries theres a great deal of anxiety, maybe even hostility towards saudi arabia based on these reports coming out. Khashoggi, the torture and from saudi arabia you hear nothing. Well, i mean, you have not heard nothing. You had a lot of senior people who have been removed. You have people being tried. You had an open trial where foreign diplomats were invited to attend the trial. Theres a sensitivity to behaving like you are just reacting to western pressure. Theres a flip side to that within the kingdom and within particularly the more conservative communities. That goes on very badly with them. I think they also have to manage that process to make sure that they dont look like theyre just jumping whenever america or europe says jump. Always a pleasure to have you on. Thank you. Thank you.

And i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It starts acting in my body from the first dose and continues to work when i need it, 24 7. Trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. Dont use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, youre allergic to trulicity, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. These can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. I choose onceweekly trulicity to activate my within. If you need help lowering your a1c, ask your doctor about onceweekly trulicity. So why havent youul started building . Tylers off to college.

A book that youre ready to share with the world . Get published now, call for your free publisher kit today israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahus career is on the line in two different wawa ways. First the looming indictments announced by the attorney general. He said he would be charged with bribery and theft of trust. Then there are the political headaches. He has supported the far right parties in israel and is believed to be going to extremes because he has a formidable challenger on his left flank. Mr. Netanyahu faces an uphill battle in next months election. Joins be now the Political Correspondent for the globe. Let me ask you, how serious are these charges and what is the likely course . Weve been hearing about them for a while. This is it now. This is the formal charge. Obviously the charges are very grim. Bribely bribery is up to ten years in jail. Its a very grave indictment. Netanyahu is up for indictment. Obviously there was another procedure in which he may come to the attorney general and claim put some claims forward. Having said that, the fact the attorney general has made up his mind and put the charges on is very serious. I think its hurting his situation. Its hurting his campaign. Not entirely, but it has an effect on the israeli people. When one looks at this, there have been so many charges about mr. Netanyahu and there have been so many accusations of corruption and some of them he has been cleared of. Theres this swirl of charges about it. Is it does the party at some point feel its not worth the controversy . No. We believe strongly that this is a political persecution. Lets make clear in the numbers. Since 1997 hes had to deal with 19 accusations, allegations. 16 out of 19 ended up with nothing. We believe that doing the hearing in israel you have a hearing before the trial. Netanyahu will peel down all the allegations. On the political side you have someone who seems to be gaining ground. When someone looks at Prime Ministers they tend to only lose out to popular, generals who are a able to put together a left of Center Coalition which is what benny has done. The polls show that benny leading on the Prime Minister. He has a good Job Performance polling saying he has the ability to serve as the Prime Minister. Netanyahu hasnt faced anyone that strong for a decade. The Netanyahu Campaign is claiming they are lefties and weak. The israeli public dont take it as someone who can be portrayed as weak or to left to liberals. Its not working with generals. Thats netanyahus main problem. His Campaign Slogan is aimed towards the right wing. Hes unwilling or not trying to grab more mandates from the center or the center of the israeli population. He sticks to his right wing like you mentioned. He doesnt try to convince the center. If the left is liberal for generals, netanyahu is going far right looking for support. Hes gone so far right hes being denounced by many previously strong supporters in the united states. I think even apec expressed dismay over this latest move. Isnt it a sign of amorality that hell go anywhere to find allies. No. Were concerned about an establishment of a left wing government in israel. We want to increase the chances in order to win. Of course we respect the criticism of the people, especially from apec, but they have to understand that this is either a right wing government or a left wing government. I want to remind one more thing. Were concerned about left wing government that will be supported by arabs who support terrorism. Thats the question for us. All right. Well surely come back to the issue. Thank you both. Thank you. Thank you. Next on gps angry protesters on the streets in capitals around the middle east. Is arab spring 2. 0 coming on. Well explain when we come back. You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from your allergy pills . Most pills dont finish the job because they dont relieve nasal congestion. Flonase sensimist is different. It relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills dont. Its more complete allergy relief. And all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. Flonase sensimist helps block six key inflammatory substances. Most pills only block one.

I hope so. So i talked to my doctor about humira. I learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. 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. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. All of you. How you live, what you love.

Masses of young people have flooded the streets of al jeers to protest the regime of a empty who despite having a stroke in 2013 is seeking his fifth term in office. The tensions in al jeer i cant are not isolated. Their 82yearold president is so ill the times notes his framed photo replaces his actual presence at government rallies. Thats an apt metaphor for his rule thats a front for the kabul and politicians that wield power behind the scenes. Over two third of al jeer i cants 30 Million People are under 30 and they have reason to be angry. 28 are unemployed. That figure rises for College Graduates according to bloomberg. These dynamics extend throughout the region. Sudan is 75 and besieged by mass protests that threaten to topple his regime. This president is 92. The palestinian president is 83. Egypts is a relatively sprite 64, but hes muscled through parliament a constitutional amendment that could keep him in power until 2034 at which point hell be 80. Even when the leaders are not long in the tooth, their regimes are stale relics. The people are overwhelmingly young. The median age is just 24. The middle east had the highest proportion of young people in the world. Even now there are isolated baby booms. Iraq is growing by 1 Million People a year. All these young people are coming of age in economies that seem to have no place for them. As a region the middle east and north africa has the highest rate of youth unemployment in the world estimated at 25 . The u. N. Notes by 2030 the regions workforce will have 39 million more young people to absorb. Those who can are leaving, excluding the wealthy gulf country, migration
