Summary

Today on the show, Fareed speaks with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in his first TV interview since the ceasefire about how Israel and Gaza can secure a lasting peace, and how his country has become a key mediator in several global conflicts.Then, President Trump has gone from publicly admiring Vladimir Putin to engaging in worrying saber-rattling with the Russian leader over nuclear weapons. Fareed asks the former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, author of the new book "Autocrats vs. Democrats", about the changing Trump-Putin relationship and the future of the Ukraine war.Later, as young men in America fall behind in education, work and relationships, Fareed talks to NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway about this crisis of masculinity and his new book, “Notes on Being a Man.”Finally, hundreds of civilians were massacred this week in Sudan's Darfur region, a brutal escalation of the ongoing war in that country. Mai Hassan, a political science professor at MIT, sat down with Fareed to discuss how it got to this point. GUESTS: Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani (@MBA_AlThani_); Michael McFaul (@McFaul); Scott Galloway (@profgalloway) ; Mai Hassan (@MaiOHassan) Learn more about your ad choices.
