| 0:00.0 | This is CBS Eye on the World. Here's John Batchelor. I welcome my colleague Judy Dempsey, a senior scholar for the Carnegie |
| 0:15.4 | Endowment for International Peace. She's in Berlin, and the Chancellor of all the Germans is in Canada at the G7 meeting |
| 0:24.2 | and the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Canada, making remarks about the current events, |
| 0:30.2 | especially the war in Iran and Israel. The comment from the chancellor at the summit, this regime, meaning Tehran, is very weakened |

| 1:44.8 | This is a big story. I mean, Ukraine is still on the front page of several newspapers, |
| 1:51.7 | but this is major because what's at stake is not only a conflagration in the Middle East, |

| 2:02.5 | they could spill over to Europe or the United States. It's so unpredictable. And so it's getting |
