president bush then mocked kerry, by saying he knew the proper order was whiz with that's with cheese whiz supposedly the proper order. but to true philadelphians provolone also shows some cred. walker went with american cheese, questionable, but what raised hackles among the tough philly crowd was his cutting in line and not cleaning up after himself. philadelphians can be tough. we once booed santa claus at an eagles game though to be fair, the presents the previous christmas had been rather would noting. kerry did win philadelphia though so when it comes to the cheesecake back-and-forth let's not overstate the role ♪ it's back to geno's baby ♪ >> ah "the cheesesteak song." i'm jake tapper in washington. "fareed zakaria gps" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com

this is "gps," the global public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria. we'll start the show today with the american political circus. 17 candidates and that's just on one side of the aisle. 464 days left until any votes are counted. two major american political dynasties. and one and only donald trump. what does the rest of the world make of all of this? i have a great international panel to talk about just that. and the nuclear deal with iran has upset many. atop that list israel for certain. but next in line is surely saudi arabia. we will take you inside the

secretive kingdom with a former u.s. ambassador. then nobel peace prize winner kylash satiarti on keeping kids in school and why that means something very different in india than it does in the west. finally, something is rotten in lebanon. the pearl of the mediterranean is becoming putrid. what's all the stink about? find out. but first here's "my take." since 9/11 america has responded aggressively to the danger of terrorism, taking extraordinary measures invading two countries, launching military operations in many others and spending over $800 billion on homeland security. americans have accepted an unprecedented expansion of government powers and invasions of their privacy to prevent attacks.

since 9/11 74 people have been killed in america by terrorists according to "new america." and calculating using cdc data in the same period over 150,000 americans have been killed in gun homicides. and to tackle that problem, we have done nothing. our attitude seems to be one of fatalism -- another day, another mass shooting which is almost literally true. the website shootingtracker.com documents that in the first 207 days of 2015 america had 207 mass shootings. after one of these takes place now, everyone goes through a ritual of shock and horror and then moves on aware that nothing will change, accepting that this is just one of those quirks of american life but it is 150,000 deaths.

that's almost three vietnams. after last week's incident in lafayette, louisiana, the governor of the state and presidential candidate bobby jindal pointed his finger at what has now become the standard explanation for these events. three days after the tragedy, he said on "face the nation" -- >> every time this happens it seems like the person has a history of mental illness. >> but it makes little sense to focus on mental health. look at these statistics. for the united states and other countries provided by gunpolicy.org, which uses official data. america has a gun homicide rate that is at least a dozen times higher than those of most other critical industrialized countries. it is 50 times higher than germany's, for example. we don't have 50 times as many mentally disturbed people as germany does but we do have many many many more guns. former texas governor rick perry's solution is to loosen the few restrictions on guns

that do exist so that in the lafayette movie theater, other patrons would have been armed and could have shot the gunman. the notion that the solution in dark crowded movie theaters is a mass shoot-out is so dangerous that frankly, it should rule perry out as a serious candidate. when asked about such proposals after the last mass shooting in a movie theater in aurora colorado william bratton, who has now been police chief in three major american cities, dismissed the idea entirely. to him, the solution is obvious -- we need some sanity in our gun laws. gun control can reduce these numbers of incidents, he told cnn. we have done the opposite. we have actually loosened restraints on the ability and ease with which people can buy, own and carry guns. this is partly because in june 2008 the supreme court broke with 200 years of precedent, and in a 5-4 decision written by

justice antonin scalia created an individual right to gun ownership that has made common-sense regulation of guns much harder. in his powerful dissent in that case justice john paul stevens pointed out that scalia's opinion was an act of extreme judicial activism that for two centuries federal courts had recognized that the government had the power to regulate the sale of firearms and that the supreme court in particular had for at least seven decades consistently ruled in this way. it is not an act of fate that has caused 150,000 americans to die over the last 15 years. it is a product of laws court decisions, lobbying and pandering politicians. and we can change it. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" column this week. and let's get started.

♪ as i sat one day watching coverage of the 17 republican candidates for president and 5 democratic ones as i thought about the fact that there was still more than 450 days before the election itself as i considered the fact that if jeb bush or hillary clinton wins and then wins re-election in 2020 there will have been a bush or clinton in the white house for 28 of the prior 36 years. and as i watched the donald with his big mouth and his almost bigger "make america great again" truckers hat i said to myself i wonder what the rest of the world thinks when they see all of this. so let's find out. joining me here in new york are timothy stanley, the british opinion writer currently columnist for the united kingdom's "daily telegraph." he is the author of many books about america and its politics.

and apple bound foreign columnist for the "washington post" and pulitzer prize-winning author. although american by birth, she's lived overseas for more than two decades and is married to a polish politician. from monday texas city, jorge cass casaneda is an author and professor at nyu. and from london an iraqi journalist currently assistant editor in chief at a newspaper and a yale world fellow. and what does the world think when they're looking at american elections? >> in a word they think we're insane. our elections are, as far as i know the longest one in any democracy that you can find. and of course by far the most expensive. the last polish presidential candidate on his campaign spent the equivalent of $4 million, which i think might buy you a house seat in this country, but probably not a senate seat.

the total cost of the last british election campaign the general election parliamentary election was $37 million, 25 million pounds. so that gives you some idea of the scale of the difference -- length cost, length of debate, everything. >> you say, tim, "lunatics with money are never mad, only eccentric in america," talking about donald trump. >> running for president. yeah yeah. >> what do you think? i mean brits are used to eccentrics. what do you think brits think of donald trump? >> i think we see him as being part of a long line of candidates like him. think of herman cain back in 2012 before him ross perot. we're used to this idea of the snake oil salesman the guy who steps in, says if you vote for me i will build roads, i'll give you health care i'll give you everything you want. and then we see them burn up. we don't expect them to do very, very well, but it conforms to a particular cliche in the european mind about america and how its politics work that it's about money, it's about buying yourself attention, it's about

personality, but most of all, it's about anger. what's slightly troubling for europeans is a lot of talk about what americans right now are angry about. we're getting that from donald trump. the list is very long -- immigration, health care all those things. we're not getting a very long list about what america's going to do about it and what these candidates actually stand for. so i think europeans are looking and thinking we've heard this before. it's amusing, it's fun, it's eccentric, but it speaks to a politics that is kind of stuck. >> jorge casaneda the anger in trump's case seems directed very particularly and aggressively toward mexico. how is mexico receiving this rather extraordinary candidacy? >> well fareed i don't think it's seen as a lot of fun either in mexico or in central america or parts of latin america because, despite this being the usual silly season of american electoral politics trump has been very insulting, very offensive. he's been racist he has generalized, he has been vicious

in many of his comments. and so this is not taken as funny at all here. what's even worse, perhaps, fareed is that with a few exceptions jeb bush perhaps rick perry and lindsey graham most of his 17 rivals, as you said, or 16 rivals are not really pushing back against trump, specifically on the question of the racist comments he has made constantly about mexican migrants to the united states or central american migrants or caribbean migrants or south american migrants. so there's a lot of discontent a lot of confusion in mexico of course mainly but elsewhere also in latin america about who this guy is and why aren't the other guys saying really anything about it? why aren't they pushing back? why aren't they differentiating themselves from him? i think this is making a lot of people very upset here and they would like to see a stronger reaction in the united states for more civilized voices.

these are american barbarians, to put it very simply. >> and nina in iraq, there are many many people -- forget iraq is actually a democracy, and you know quite a lively one. you have tons of candidates and lots of jostling and there's a lot of craziness in iraqi democracy, right? >> there is. and having lots of candidates as you said is something that iraqis have gotten used to in the last 12 years or so. the presidential system's completely different of course because the president is almost an agreement between the different political parties who they choose to be president, but the parliamentary elections bring up all sorts of names and parliamentary lists and so forth. so we're more used to having different candidates and different names, and some crazies on the side than perhaps other countries in the region. >> all right. if donald trump isn't going to win, who does the world want to be the next american president, when we come back.

and we are back talking about the american elections with anne applebaum, timothy stanley, jorge castaneda and mina al orabi. you wrote something fascinating. you talked about dinner parties in london where people are talking about international affairs, and then somebody looks up and says, you know we haven't mentioned the united states once in this entire conversation. and everyone agrees that it's very odd, and they go back to talking about what they were talking about and never get to america.

>> i'm afraid that does happen. i'm not sure that it would happen on every topic, but it very often happens on european topics. it very often happens when you talk about russia. there is a sense that the united states is not fully part of all of these conversations anymore, that it's very distracted. and of course that's going to grow worse over the next few months during the elections. >> and as a result do you think it means that people don't care whether it's bush or clinton or who? >> i don't think it's so much that people don't care. i just think that people are a little more sanguine now about whether it can really make such a big difference. i think, in a way, speaking particularly about europe you know the hatred of bush was very overdone. the huge welcome for obama, which as you'll remember cheering crowds in berlin before he was even elected, were also overdone. and people now have a little bit of you know think okay whoever's president, many things are going to remain the same. a few things will change. and there's neither an enormous amount of hope nor an enormous amount of fear attached to the

presidency anymore, as there has been over the last decade or two. but the sense that this is world-changing and that our lives will all be different depending on who the next u.s. president is, that's kind of fading away. >> mina in iraq and in the middle east in general, is there a feeling that the next president is consequential because of the iran deal because of isis? how are people seeing it, and do they have a preference? >> yeah i'm afraid it's quite different in the middle east and a lot so in iraq that people still think america is very consequential and there's a sense that the current president's really wanted to step back from iraq. he came in on a promise to withdraw from iraq and really didn't have any other policy when it came to iraq until isis cropped up. so people are waiting to see what the next american elections will bring about in terms of a president that may be more engaged. and so there is a curiosity, very much so.

>> jorge, there is a big difference i assume for the mexicans which is odd, by which i mean mexico's leaders for a long time had worked very closely with republicans, madrid or the opening of a mexico both economically and politically was very much a partnership that had taken place with a lot of internationalist republicans, like reagan and bush sr. now is there a very stark divide where kind of all mexicans would just prefer democrats? >> i don't think so fareed for one reason which is that none -- despite of everything jeb bush is viewed as a front-runner as someone who is likely to be the republican nominee. and he is seen with actually a great deal of affection in mexico firstly for the obvious reason that he has been married for 40 years to a mexican national not a mexican american. she was born in mexico and maintains a lot of roots here. jeb bush's children could become

mexican citizens overnight, if they wanted to. and his stances on immigration and his knowledge of mexico and other parts of latin america -- he lived in venezuela also do i think, bring him closer to the opinion that a lot of people in mexico and latin america would have. so you have this ambiguous situation. but at the same time, at the end of the day, people are, at least relatively happy. because on the one hand if it is hillary clinton, it is the first time since thomas jefferson, if i'm not mistaken that a u.s. secretary of state has become president. it has never happened. and this would give her inevitably an enormous amount of experience. so i think there is a certain ease a certain tranquility about who, if it's either of those two. the problem, of course what happens if it's not either of those two? >> when you talk about this tim stanley, you think that the republican party has many very sane and serious candidates but they have to make their way

through the land mine that is donald trump right now. >> yeah absolutely. they have to take this opportunity as a teachable moment to say here's where we stand in relation to that and then define themselves by it. some candidates are doing that like rick perry has come out strongly against him. the problem is there's something about trump's character, if you get into a fight with him, you get covered in the mud in the struggle and maybe that's going to happen to those candidates too, which is what they're worried about. but look we in europe expected a great change to come over america when barack obama was elected. and yet, eight years later, we're still seeing headlines about gun crime, still seeing race riots, still seeing stories about grotesque income inequality. so there's a feeling, if it's bush versus clinton again, how does the change come? how does america move forward? i think that's the serious angle to europe's amusement to trump, is it sort of reflects the sense of things not changing and not evolving. >> the other aspect of trump that i think is his appeal is that he is not a standard

factory manufactured politician where everything is poll-tested. and i remember you wrote something once about how american politicians seemed so manufactured and the family seemed so manufactured and this is so different in much of continental europe, certainly. i mean you're the wife -- you were the wife of the foreign minister. and you pointed out, you barely ever had to go campaigning with him. it was regarded as very weird if you had gone campaigning with your husband. >> yes. no there's a very different attitude towards families and towards spouses. it does vary a lot from country to country, and running for president is different than running for parliament. but you know i think you can also though see trump as part of a tradition or a change that's happening, which you can see in european politics as well which is of these crazy candidates coming out of the blue attracting a lot of attention. you had this in italy. you had the comedian who attracted a lot of attention. there are quite a lot of elections, if you look around the continent, which are being

disrupted by unexpected forces of the far right or the far left sometimes anti-european, sometimes anti-immigration which are giving people the feeling that they're voting for something real that give them some kind of sense that there's an edge or there's an emotional surge to politics which they don't feel from the mainstream party. so i think in that sense, the united states is very similar to quite a lot of european countries, a lot of other mature democracies. >> we are going to have to leave it there. next on "gps," why in the world is turkey just about the only country in the middle east putting a serious effort into the fight against isis? where are the rest of them? we will describe the concept of free-riding when we come back. ing of the campus on day one. but you're armed with a roomy new jansport backpack, a powerful new dell 2-in-1 laptop and durable new stellar notebooks, so you're walking the halls with varsity level swagger. that's what we call that new gear feeling. you left this on the bus...

create an isis-free zone in northern syria. great. but as with most things in the middle east, the truth is more complicated. in their first set of strikes, it seems that the turks are also attacking kurdish fighters in iraq many of whom are allied in the struggle against isis. why? well fearing kurdish separatism at home turkey has been at odds with militant kurds elsewhere in the region as well. the turks' second ulterior motive according to observers, is political gain at home. president recep tayyip erdogan's party failed to earn the majority election for the first time in recent years, forcing a coalition with other parties. erdogan's strikes could spark the fires of nationalism around him, allowing him to call another election and get a majority. and after the elections well

some observers think the air strikes will peter out once they have served their domestic purpose. but at least turkey is now doing something. the strange reality is that while isis is a mortal threat to its neighbors, its neighbors don't seem to be doing much about it content to let the united states fight their battles. jordan saudi arabia the united arab emirates and bahrain have all been involved in the campaign against isis in syria but look at their contributions. the united states has carried out over 2,000 air strikes against isis in syria, the military says. meanwhile, the arab allies have flown just over 100 strikes combined. airwars.org estimates that denmark, which has conducted missions against isis in iraq has flown as many air strikes as those arab allies have flown in syria combined. the netherlands has conducted almost twice as many strikes against isis as the combined

total of arab strikes in syria. the united arab emirates suspended air strikes in syria for a while because they were worried there were insufficient plans to save personnel who may be captured a senior u.s. military official told cnn. guys this is war. sometimes planes get shot down and people get hurt. saudi arabia is the largest market for the u.s. defense strait in the world, according to ihs in its annual report on defense. in 2015 one out of every seven defense import dollars will be spent by saudi arabia ihs predicts. together saudi arabia and the uae imported more defense equipment than all of western europe combined. where are these weapons? if they are not to be used against a mortal foe like isis when are you planning to use them? egypt has the most combat aircraft in the region according to ihs, but so far,

they've only managed a few air attacks on isis targets in libya and none in syria. so before washington expands its war against isis maybe we should end the free-riding and get the nations in the region to start fighting against an organization that threatens their very existence. next on "gps," we'll take you inside a country that is opaque to outsiders. the secretive kingdom of saudi arabia. it is angry over the iran nuclear deal. it's been bombing yemen for the last four months. what is going on? we have a great guide, america's former ambassador.

let's celebrate these moments... this woman... this cancer patient... christine... living her life... loving her family. moments made possible in part by the breakthrough science of advanced genomic testing. after christine exhausted the standard treatment options for her disease, doctors working with the center for advanced individual medicine at cancer treatment centers of america suggested

advanced genomic testing. the test results revealed a finding that led to the use of a targeted therapy that was not considered for christine before. now, they're helping fight her cancer on another, deeper level... the genetic level. this is precision cancer treatment an approach to care that may help patients like christine enjoy the things that matter most in their lives while undergoing treatment. the evolution of cancer care is here. that's definitely something worth celebrating. learn more about precision cancer treatment at cancercenter.com. appointments are available now. across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin.

victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal.

stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. saudi arabia is one of the most secretive countries in the world. although the place has been home for most of islam's most holy sites, it was just last century that the kingdom emerged from what was essentially a group of warring tribes in the desert.

saudi arabia and its intentions are back in the news today for two main reasons. first, if israel is the nation most upset by a nuclear deal with iran by all rights saudi arabia should be a close second. the sunni monarchy of saudi arabia fears a resurgent shia iran in this age of fierce sectarian struggles. secondly saudi arabia has been bombing rebels in yemen for more than four months now. what is going on? to go inside the secretive kingdom and inside the minds of saudi arabia's leaders, i asked robert jordan to join me. the bush white house sent jordan's nomination to be the u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia on september 12th, 2001. jordan is the author of the new book "desert diplomat: inside saudi arabia following 9/11." listen in. robert jordan thank you for joining us. >> good to be with you, fareed. >> so you were an odd choice for ambassador to saudi arabia as you yourself say in the book.

you helped bush in a crucial legal battle. you represented him. >> right. >> in a case that essentially won, saved his political career. and from that, how did you, as somebody who had no middle eastern experience, didn't speak a word of arabic how did you wind up in saudi arabia? >> i asked myself that a number of times. but as it turns out, the saudis refused to give diplomatic credentials to a career foreign service officer as ambassador to the kingdom. they want someone who is a friend of the president, who can go over the heads of the bureaucracy, who doesn't have a career to protect and who can actually speak for the president with the king and his leadership. >> you point out that the united states did not actually have an ambassador in saudi arabia when 9/11 happens and when the world realizes that 15 of the 19 hijackers were in fact saudis. >> exactly. my predecessor had resigned and left office in the early spring

of 2001, so that position was vacant. and actually as it turns out, even the deputy chief of mission arrived for her job as acting ambassador only on september 10th. so she had her hands full within 24 hours, and then i came a few weeks later. >> and in dealing with the saudis give us a picture of you know what that was like. because you get there you know 9/11 has happened and we all remember this. initially, the saudi official response was, well maybe these guys want saudis. and if they were saudis we know nothing about it. >> one of my first calls was on then the governor of riyadh prince salmon who is now the king. his response was emphatic this was not saudis we couldn't have done this. this had to have been an israeli plot. i got the same thing from the minister of interior, prince nye yaf. i finally had to bring a cia

briefer out and show some of the princes compelling evidence that it was indeed saudis who were the hijackers. >> but it's disturbing that you say that the current king his initial reaction was, essentially, you know highly defensive defensive, and in a way suggesting that saudi arabia did not have this big terrorism problem. >> i think they were in denial to a great degree particularly at some of these levels. and it took a great deal of effort on our part to develop the cooperation, which finally did come. >> and eventually it came because al qaeda actually attacked within saudi arabia. >> the greatest leap forward was after the bombings on may 12th of 2003 when three western housing compounds were blown up by al qaeda operatives. at that point, crown prince abdullah said to me that he understood that they had a problem, that they would take immediate action to capture or kill the attackers and to treat justice harshly anyone who gave

them comfort or aid or even tried to justify what they did. >> describe the current king of saudi arabia. because as you said when he was governor of riyadh you dealt with him. >> he was governor for almost 50 years, so he had to have started in his 20s. he was and has been considered one of the least corrupt leaders. he has been considered probably the hardest working member of the cabinet. he would be in his office at 8:00 every morning. the story goes that when he was appointed defense minister, he went over to the ministry of defense at 8:00 and the only person there was the gate guard. the next day, everyone was there at 8:00. >> do you think that saudi actions in the last few years, they have after all, militarily intervened one might say, invaded two countries, bahrain and yemen, for the first time in decades. is this motivated by a clear strategy or is this kind of just fear of iran and all of its

influence? >> they have"showbiz news ticker" -- articulated a strategy. their strategy has been to be against iran at every turn and to presume that iran's hand is behind every negative act, certainly in their eastern province in bahrain and now in yemen. we haven't seen what the political objective is of the adventure in yemen, and i think this could really come back to haunt them. >> fascinating set of insights. robert jordan thank you so much for coming on. >> my pleasure. thanks. up next a rare treat for us all. the most recent nobel peace prize winner. we all know malala but do you know the man she shared the prize with? i'll introduce you to kailash satyarthi, a man who is trying to fix the world's future one child at a time. when i lay in my tempur-pedic contour, then i slowly feel it start to kind of wrap itself around me... my mind just goes kind of blank- and the next thing i know it's morning. with tempur-flex you've got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress and it also adjusts to my body. my cloud feels so comfortable.

nobel peace prize winner as a guest, indeed the most recent winner. you're thinking malala yousafzai, that brave pakistani girl who stood up to the taliban and won the 2014 nobel peace prize. but perhaps you are less aware of her co-winner, kailash satyarthi, who has dedicated his life to fighting child labor and child slavery. you should know this man for the great work he's doing, and you will know this man after you hear his amazing story, including what inspired him to do such good. kailash satyarthi, pleasure to have you on. >> thank you so much. >> so how did you get started on this quest? because you were -- you're a trained engineer. you had a good job in india. this is the thing everybody aspires to. and then you give it all up. >> well frankly speaking it started from my childhood. the seed was sewn on the very first day of my schooling.

i was 5 or 5 1/2-year-old child. and i saw a cobbler boy outside the school gate and that made me a little bit uncomfortable. then every morning and evening after schooling hours, when i go back home i saw him, and that made me more angry inside. and one day i gathered all of my courage and went straight to the father of the boy, who was also sitting alongside cobbler, and i asked asked, why don't you send your boy to school with all of us? and he looked at me as it was a very heavy question. he said i never thought about it it and i started working since my childhood and so was my father and my grandfather and now my son. then he looked at me and said that babugi means sir, we people are born to work. on his part it was an answer. but for me it was a question

and a challenge for the rest of my life that why are some children born to work at the cost of their childhood and freedom and education and dreams? it was unacceptable for me. i refused to accept it then and i still am struggling with that that no child must be born to work at the cost of childhood and freedom. so -- >> but then when you were an engineer you had another encounter. >> then i started a magazine in hindi. one day, a desperate father came and knocked on my door to publicize his story. then i heard him. i found that he and his wife and many more people were trafficked from his native village to work at the brick kiln several years. >> so he had been working essentially as slave labor -- >> in slavery for 17 years. he was not allowed to go away never paid anything and there

was a fence inside which all the families used to live. children were born and grew up there, but they had never seen the but also 36 people altogether. >> how widespread is this problem of indentured servitude, slavery and child slavery, which has been your particular focus? 168 million children are full-time child laborers. 168 million. out of them 85 million are working in what they call the worst forms of child labor, and

officially statistics such as that 5.5 million children are in slavery. >> are governments doing enough now? >> i think it's much better. but things have changed. in india, as well as all over the world. the number of child laborers, is now 168 million. but that is a remarkable progress in the last 20 years from 260 million, almost to this number. similarly the out-of-school children were about 130 million. now they have gone -- the number has gone down and it is 58 million or so. so that brings us strong hope for me. >> you in your tech talk you talked about how this very important for people to be angry. that you liked anger. explain why. p. because anger is a power. it is a power to fight.

i did not want to use my anger for destruction, for violence or for some other negative things. but i tried to preserve it, as a positive power. because that gets me energy to fight around me and i tried to convert my anger into ideas, and ideas into action and action which can make the world a better world. >> so you're using your nobel peace prize, the money, and the fame to create a foundation. you announced it in the united states. you had the ceremony at the lincoln memorial. why the lincoln memorial? >> we have chosen the lincoln memorial because we are all making history. and i'm very confident that we will make slavery history very soon. we will make child labor history very soon. and those who joining in this campaign those who were present there, they were not only making

history but they are partners they are the people who are writing the script of the history of victory, of liberty over slavery. >> kailash satyarthi. pleasure to have you on. >> thank you so much. next on "gps," what is more important? a president for a trash collector? one country was lacking both. and the answer became quite clear. i'll explain all when we come back.

justice has proposed six simple and elegant ways to solve some of the stickiest problems in america. whether you agree with all of them or not, this brilliant, brief book will make you think at length. and now for the last look. the small country of lebanon is bursting with excess at the moment. there is an excess of refugees. more than 1 million syrian refugees have flooded across the border in the last three years. and now there is an excess of trash in its capital city. i don't mean slightly overflowing garbage bins. i mean trash. piling high on the streets. reeking and rotting in the heat. and giving off fumes as citizens try to burn it. you see the country's biggest landfill closed this month, and a divided government couldn't agree on new sites for the trash. facing heavy protests. why didn't the president step and do something about this mess? well there is no president. the city may be full of trash,

but politically, there is a vacuum. the lebanese parliament has failed to elect a new president, not once not twice, but 26 times since last spring. as many have reported. the government has long been wrought with political and sectarian divisions, and these tensions have been ek acerbated by the war in neighboring syria. this week the environment minister did announce an agreement to clean up the trash had been reached. though the details are murky. many lebanese see the garbage crisis as indicative of their country's woes. that the government failures fill their lives with rubbish. the correct answer to the gps challenge question is "b." the first photograph of the earth was taken by the crew of apollo xvii in 1972. nasa tells us it was the first time photography was used to capture the earth from far enough away to see the whole planet. 28,000 miles away. the 1972 blue marble image looks

quite similar to this most recent beauty which makes it even more remarkable that the latest sunlit image was actually taken from 1 million miles away. thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. hello everyone and thanks so much for joining me i'm fredrick can whitfield. a piece of airplane debris found last week does indeed belong to a boeing 777. the same model plane as the missing malaysia airlines flight 370. malaysia authorities confirming that today. the piece of aircraft wing is now in france. it arrived in france after being found in the indian island -- indian ocean island of reunion where it was found last week. earlier today, more debris
