i talk with the leaders of four of russia s neighbors to the west. starting with ukraine s president zelenskyy. i ask under what conditions he would be willing to negotiate with vladimir putin. then president duda of poland explains just how much suffering russia has caused his nation in the past. and top ministers from finland and sweden tell me about their nations historic decisions to apply for nato membership. then, a rare interview with iran s foreign minister at a critical time in talks for a revived nuclear deal. to make sure that an iran that is already acting with incredible aggression doesn t have a nuclear weapon or the ability to produce one on short notice. will they reach an agreement, or will the talks fall apart? when in god s name do we do what we all needs to be done? finally, one more senseless act of violence this time in texas. i ll give you some of my thoughts on how to end this endless carnage? but first, here s my take. the world economic fo
