this is gps, the global public square. welcome to all of coming to you live today on the program >> the >> leading opposition figure in russia alexey navalny, dies in prison >> what happened >> what does this mean for russia we'll dig into it with the new yorker's david remnick >> and >> the words have been reverberating around europe all week. former and possibly future president trump threatened not just step in against the russians if they attracted nato allies. >> in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want i'll dr. carl bildt, the former prime minister of sweden, about the real fears on
7:02 am
the continent >> also >> richard house on the middle east and in the wake of pakistan's recent controversial elections, i will talk to the sister of the jailed politician imran khan who's allies swept the polls >> i'll >> bring you my take at the end of the show. but first, i wanted to get right to the death of alexei navalny and outspoken critic of vladimir putin for many years, navalny was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent and evacuated to berlin 2020 he defiantly returned to russia, was promptly arrested and languished in prisons ever since the 47 year-old died this week in a remote penal colony in the arctic. we had his daughter dasha on the show last january today, david remnick joins me to discuss this tragic death, which many believe is a murder he's the editor of the
7:03 am
new yorker and the author of the pulitzer prize winning book, lenin's tomb. welcome david, let me ask you first to talk from moment about navalny because i do think we sometimes in today's world we forget when we see genuine courage, this is a guy who was you know, allowed to go because of angular merkel to germany for treatment putin had tried to poison him. he refuses to stay there. he has political asylum. he could come to the united states. he goes back and he goes back because as i think his daughter said to me he could not ask other people to protest putin's russia if he was sitting comfortably in germany or the united states, that's a rare kind of courage. don't you think? >> contrast it to the lack of courage we see in our politicians and politicians all over the world who want even reach the possibility of losing a primary an election because of their their, their
7:04 am
unwillingness to defy a strong arm figure in their own party navalny was a kind of modern version of the old dissident. but his tools were different. he wasn't writing manifestos on onion skin paper and pass it in the mount. he was using social media. he was using mass protests. he was using all the modern tools he could. >> and he really came >> to fame in 20 12 as a leader of anti-putin protest right outside the kremlin walls. and this scared putin terribly because putin saw this as the possibility of a color revolution coming to his own gates. and he has been his enemy ever since he tried to kill him with poisoned with novichok several years ago, it failed. >> an >> unbelievably unbelievably alexey navalny are shown in the terrific documentary film that cnn broadcast again last night.
7:05 am
went back to russia knowing absolutely that he would be arrested immediately and put an a prison camp. so when you're asked if he was murdered, well, first there was the attempted and failed murder of several years ago and then the old technique of the gulag and his health failed. and we'll find out the details i hope about how he died, the idea that he had quote, unquote sudden death syndrome, is a kind of bitter dark comedy from the kremlin and why this putin feel he has, he has to do this. he has total control over the country. he he rules with an iron fist what does what did nevada leave represent or for that matter, boris nemtsov, who was killed aside the kremlin walls. why, why this fear of the dissident >> well, navalny represented the idea of modernity of liberalism, not in the american sense, but just in terms of
7:06 am
liberal thinking of choice. and the possibility of an end to this regime that began in 2000. that's been going on for a generation. navalny was it an attractive figure, somebody who had represented leadership for minorities of all kinds he represented a different existence not only with the west, but places like ukraine. he opposed the invasion of ukraine in the most forthright language. he was, he was a kind of latter day andriy soccer off, if you remember? in 1986, in december 1986, mikhail gorbachev, that relatively new soviet leaders signaled his turn toward liberalism by liberating andriy soccer off from gorky where he'd been kept as a virtual prisoner with his wife this is the opposite. this is somebody signaling his ruthlessness, his willingness to kill his enemies and a very,
7:07 am
very different kind of system that's in place right before his so-called election. remember putin is up for election in just a matter of weeks, which of course he will win because it's it's a fraud from beginning to end. so sometimes history moves distinctly backwards and tragically, we sometimes think it constantly moves forward in the best possible way that's not the case navalny always spoke of a beautiful future for russia that's why today, this week is so deeply tragic because it's very hard to imagine the opposition recovering its footing very quickly after this, this is a terrible, terrible blow and very quickly david, we only have about 30 seconds, but i do want to ask you, you raise the issue of political courage. is it possible that trump bore any of the republicans will have a rethink about putin after this brutal demonstration of his, of
7:08 am
his repression as donald trump ever had a rethink about anything in a moral sense and a political sense we'll tucker carlson become a transformed man after watching what happened following his pathetic interview. i don't think so. i seriously doubt that and it's left to joe biden to make the moral and political distinction between the two in the election which has already done by making the statement that he gave the other day that this was in fact a murder. and we'll see what the united states does going forward with this is a huge, huge event david remnick. >> thank you for putting it in context for us i was very helpful >> next on gps >> last weekend, trump threatened nato members who do not spend enough on defense how are europe's leaders responding i'll speak to the former prime minister of sweden, a country that just joined nato.arl bildt fareed

7:14 am
european leaders, they try to keep a reasonable straight face, which wasn't entirely easier for some of them. again, stoltenberg the secretary burden of nato, was rather firm. what. he said. >> but >> behind that everyone is deeply worried we only sort of early and the election is in november. and he might say, the one strange thing after the other, that in itself has a de-stabilizing influence and then of course, entire question, if he's elected what on earth might happen? >> you know what i wonder about carlos's the damage already done in the sense that i have drawn nato. the nature of the nato is deterrence is, it's a psychological one. you're trying to deter putin principally from daring to cross borders because he is worried about the certainty that nato will respond. and that's has cast into doubt even if at the end of the day donald trump order to respond
7:15 am
some of the psychological deterrence is already lost samovar does that is already lost. you're entirely correct >> and >> that of course, i went the credibility of nato rests on the credibility of the man or woman who sits at over an office. and what kind of decisions might come out of the oval office iniquitous critical situation and when there is beginning to debate what might happen in different situations. that of course grades as you point out, uncertainty instability and two, this should be added, of course, the turmoil that we see in the house of representatives, which is blocking aid to ukraine the two together and it is distinctly these stabilizing is there as an area in which this jolts to europeans to do more, to take there's 18 out of 31 above the 2% threshold of defense spending. could it pressure more of them to do it? could it result in a more unified foreign and defense policy? say, i mean, as any good that could come from this,
7:16 am
well, i think as you noted, in most european countries, virtually all of them are busy increasing defense spending quite a lot. that has to do with ukraine. and all of them that are in more exposed positions and east of europe facing russia, the one way or that they are above 2% or even well above to present and they are on a path to even more so the limits to what can be down short term, what might happen is, of course, that has to do more with the aid to ukraine that there will be recognition of the need for the europeans to do even more. most of them hey, do ukraine has already been. but if the us disappears from the scene, the one way or the other europe will have to do more. >> it feels like in order to do more, i mean, as you said, europe is already paying more. do you current. ukraine, than the united states. but the us has a military industrial complex. the kind europe doesn't is it possible that you're, will have to build
7:17 am
something like that which some of which it had during the cold war kind of returned to a european military industrial complex that can that can churn out weapons of all kinds to deal with this new security environment. >> i think that will happen. but the problem with that is, of course it takes time, it takes time to build facilities to refute the workforce, to get all the raw materials necessary. we see that with the terms to ramp up production of artillery ammunition. but there's no question there is a significant effort underway to expand the defense industrial base of europe. but it takes years, unfortunately looking at it from the point of view of sweden, carl, where you prime minister and foreign minister sweden has taken a big gamble in joining nato, which is that it is adopted a much more confrontational policy toward russia then it has historically and it is done. so i presume on the expectation that it has the
7:18 am
united states ad is at its back. is there is there concern in sweden that maybe this was this was a more risky move than they realize, given the trump might be elected >> not really, because their advantage of a nato members should irrespectively of that, even if you point out, i mean, the us is the backbone of nato. so there's concern of what might happen. but of course we will gain advantages anyhow, by the integration that we get with our northern, northern european neighbors and with a bits and with the dutch and the others. so there are pluses, even if you take out the use out of the equation. but it was you as is the particular when it comes to the critical component of nuclear deterrence. there's no way the us can be replaced >> you in sweden made that decision to joe join nato because you see a fundamentally changed strategic environment, particularly with regard to
7:19 am
russia. what do you think about that donald trump doesn't understand. in other words, if i would've put you in a room with donald trump, what would you try to explain to him about what has happened in terms of the security situation tuition in europe, particularly on the east. >> well, i will try to say to him that the security of the united states longer term is dependent. what happens in the rest of the world and if the security of europe is fundamentally in danger by russian aggression, be that in northern europe would be that somewhere else. it's got a long-term impact on the security of united states. it's got to have an impact on china because the message will be clearly understood in beijing that you can do whatever you want and that might be other actors around the world that we received the same message. and at the end of the day the united states, we live in a far more uncertain world, and that should be understood even by someone who doesn't seem to care too much about the word card. bill,
7:20 am
>> always a pleasure to hear from you. thank you. >> thank you >> next on gps as israel presses into the south of gaza, i will ask richard haass how does this conflict end? and is there any path to peace >> corruption lies prison. governor rod blagojevich went down in a blaze of infamy. >> i've done a lot wrong. criminal night. okay. well, that's one factor. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper, back-to-back premieres tonight at nine on cnn. >> everyone our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition or strength and energy >> ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein i told myself i was okay with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms with my psoriatic arthritis >> symptoms but just okay. isn't okay. >> and i was done to settling >> if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira

7:25 am
richard haass, former state department official and president emeritus of the council on foreign relations richard welcome. let me ask you >> this >> seems to be a feeling among, particularly among commentators that given the enormity of the original hamas attack, the enormity of israel's response this is going to shake things up and you're going to see some peace deal cease-fire. does, does it seem likely to you in a word? >> no, i wish i shared that optimism, but i think there's understandably from the get-go for it, there's been hopes that this would end there's lot of people hoped that it might lead to a different israeli government more inclined to compromise and make peace. there's people who is hoping that it would lead to the emergence of a palestinian alternative to hamas ultimately, a peace process. i haven't given up hope on any of that, but at the moment there's precious few
7:26 am
indications that that is that is anything close to becoming reality so you once wrote a book in which you've talked about how negotiations and be still is only come when there's a certain kind of ripeness when they >> when things have gotten to a point where you can imagine a deal happening on that scale. do you think we are anywhere close? >> in a word? no you mentioned the ripeness idea. you need, you need leadership on the various sides to a dispute that a one willing and to able to make a deal to compromise while on the israeli side, you have a strong government are strong enough government that's able to make a deal. but there are zero disposition. indeed, they define themselves in many ways in opposition to it. instead, they prefer to continue the war as they would say, to root out hamas even though there's very little evidence that's an achievable goal. and indeed there's a chance you could see a widening of the war to 11 on the palestinian side hamas is
7:27 am
clearly unwilling to compromise to even accept the notion of a jewish state. and the palestinian authority is much too weak, even if it were inclined to deal with israel. so you don't have any of the ingredients. so peacemakers, diplomats can do whatever they want, but they have virtually nothing to work with and the situation. the answer is not to go home. but what we what we have to try to do is put in, put some ideas out there that over time could lead to a more ripe political contexts. and that's the most we can do right now. i think is began to change the conversation on the israeli and palestinian side >> we haven't talked about the north hezbollah. how worried are you that this, this conflict might spread? it certainly seems that hezbollah and iran have been careful and signal that they don't want this conflict to spread but
7:28 am
could you see it's spreading even nonetheless, just kind of accidental or ms miscalculations. >> there's two ways at least it could spread. one is the way you just suggested there has been some exchanges in the last few days, so that could be something that could could do it i also think the israeli government could credibly argue that they're in an untenable situation where upwards of 75,000 israelis who live in the northern reaches of the country aren't safe and event required to vacate. and i don't think that's a tenable situation for the long term now, ideally, given what you said for read there could be some kind of quote unquote arrangement between israel around possibly his bulla that would allow people to go back some sort of informal de facto truce or cease-fire. i don't think the only alternative is for israel to widen the war militarily i certainly hope not, but i'm not going to sit here and rule out that possibility either. bad situations can get worse in many ways. that's the character
7:29 am
of modern middle eastern history. >> when you look at the situation, would you seem to be saying, is you don't expect some radical change. you might just have more of the same. this is going to continue what does that do for biden politically? is it tenable for him to continue in the position he is where he's being very supportive of israel, but the israeli government is pocketing that support and making no concessions to him >> again, we're in somewhat violent agreement. i think it makes the president look weak is his instincts are to be supportive of israel and almost like an avuncular uncle to express disappointment or charo when he feels the prime minister or the israeli government are doing the wrong thing. the problem is what we're we're over four months into this crisis. and the israeli government essentially rejects american and treaties. israel essentially is doing what it wants to do in gaza may do what it wants to do in the north. so the united states only has a few options, but i would say we could provide
7:30 am
certain military equipment, but play certain additions on its use. there's no reason, for example, israel should be using large munitions and highly populated areas of gaza. we could start tabling our own initiatives in the united nations rather than abstaining or vetoing those of others. i think the president has to become much more forceful in trying to change the conversation. i know israelis are still footing focused on october 7. that's understandable. but i think it's time for the president to begin a prolonged conversation over the head of this government with the israeli people about october 8 and ninth and tenth and february and march and essentially make the argument that we there needs to be a political dimension. there can't be a military solution which at the end of the day, is a political challenge. he has to initiate that conversation because he doesn't have a partner. and this is prime minister who is not interested in that conversation? >> richard haass always good to hear from you. thank you. >> thank you

7:36 am
minister viktor orban to stop blocking an eu aid package for ukraine the far-right orban, who has a close relationship with putin feels the eu treats hungry unfairly meloni used to be very anti-e.u. as well. but as come to embrace it and according to the new york times, she persuaded or been that it would be better for him to work with the european union. then again, instead, she pointed to her own success in securing billions from the eu and much needed funds for italy back in 2022 when meloni came to power, some actually saw her as an italian version of orban. or perhaps an italian donald trump she was anti-immigration, anti-abortion anti lgbtq. her coalition partners were close with putin and her own party had its roots in italian fascism joe biden described her victory as something for democracies to be worried
7:37 am
about. but his staunch support for ukraine won him over within a year. biden was hosting her at the white house saying they had become friends and applauded her for standing with ukraine bologna has also pleased the us with a policy to china. italy had been the only major western nation to join china's signature belt and road initiative. meloni decided to pull out. this was seen as an undeniable sign of europe's pivot away from china meanwhile, her hawkish stance on immigration looks increasingly mainstream as france, the uk, and the us have tact right on the issue but she recognizes that tough measures in italy alone are inadequate to fix the problem so as african migrants continue to russian meloni has undertaken a flurry of diplomacy to stanch the flow just this week, she finalized a deal with albania to hold asylum seekers. they're

been at the forefront in making america the country that leads the world and economics, technology, culture, and power once upon a time, american conservatives praised america's organic communities, rooted in freedom and choice built bottom-up, not top-down. but the new populist, right, despises these cities and that disgust is in part a rejection of modern pluralistic american democracy itself. increasingly, they are dazzled by the clean and orderly ways of dictatorships, populist rhetoric, arians, and absolute monarchies after all, say what you will about putin. he makes the subways run on time go to cnn.com slash fareed for link to my washington post column this week thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. >> we'll >> see you next week
