10:00 am
this is gps, the global public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareedzakaria. we have a terrific show for you today, including the former school teacher who is now the leader of america's largest trading partner. i introduce you to canada's new charismatic prime minister. >> we want to be positive players in the world. >> also the ever-spreading zika virus caused the white house to call a meeting in the situation room. and the world health organization to convene an emergency committee. we'll tell you what you need to
10:01 am
know. and you know what life is like in france. 35-hour workweek, six weeks of vacation, great wine and food. not quite. the country's economy minister busts some myths. then, five years ago, cairo's tahirir square was crowded trying to topple a government. what happened to egypt and the arab spring? i have a scholar and great journalist to tell us where it all goes. and honor killings. one of the most barbaric brands of murder. a woman shot by her own family because she loved the wrong person. i'll talk to an oscar-winning filmmaker who has made a stunning film about one such
10:02 am
horrific case. but first, here's my take. to understand why the current conservative crack-up so con founds the republican establishment, you have to recognize that the party is facing two separate revolts that are taking place simultaneously. one led by ted cruz, the other by donald trump. the first one is well described in an important new book "why the right went wrong." for six decades, he explains, conservatives have promised their voters they were going to roll back big government. in the 1950s and early '60s, they ran against the new deal. then they railed against medicare, today it's obamacare. but they never actually did anything about these programs. the simple reason for this, of course, is that while americans might oppose it in theory, in practice they like the welfare state. and the bulk of government spending is on the middle class,
10:03 am
not the poor. but whatever the reality, republicans kept promising something to their base and never delivered on it. this has led to what dionne calls the great betrayal. party activists are enraged they've been hoodwigged and view the establishment as a bunch of corrupt compromisers. they want someone who will finally deliver on the promise of repeal and rollback. enter ted cruz. how did a first-term senator, despised within his party, both in washington and texas, get so far so fast? by promising to take on those party elites and finally throttle big government. cruz declares that he will repeal obamacare, abolish the irs and replace the income tax with a 10% flat tax. oh, he'll also enact a constitutional amendment to balance the budget, which would mean hundreds of billions of dollars of spending cuts. trump supporters, on the other
10:04 am
hand, are old-fashioned, economic liberals. in a powerful analysis, drawing from the rand corporation, the trump voter is very different from the cruz voter. he writes, quote, cruz outperforms trump by 15 percentage points among the most economically conservative republicans, but cruz loses to tru trump by over 30 points over a quarter republicans who hold progressive positions on health care, taxes, minimum wage and unions. trump is well aware of this fact, which explains why he has said repeatedly he won't touch social security and medicare. he denounces high ceo salaries, promises to build infrastructure and is against free trade deals. trump's voters reflect an entirely different revolt. ever since the 1960s, a part of america's white, middle and working class has felt uncomfortable with the changes
10:05 am
afoot in the country. they were uneasy with the social revolutions of the 1960s, dismayed by black protests and urban violence and enraged by the increasing tide of hispanic immigrants. in recent years they've expressed hostility toward muslims. it is this group of americans, many registered democrats and independents, who make up the core of support for donald trump. in his analysis, tesla shows sta teskally, quote, trump performs best among americans who express more resentment toward african-americans and immigrants and who tend to evaluate whites more favorably than minority groups. end quote. could these twin revolts have been prevented? perhaps, if the republican party had been honest with its voters decades ago and explained that the welfare state was here to stay, that free markets need government regulation and that the empowerment of minorities and women was inevitable and
10:06 am
beneficial. its role was to manage these changes, it should have argued, so they develop organically, are not excessive, and preserve america's enduring values. that is a role for a party that is generally conservative rather than radical. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" column this week. and let's get started. every year at davos a country stands out, attracting admi admirati admiration. this year it was not so much a nation but a person. justin trudeau, the new 44-year-old prime minister of canada. women seemed particularly impressed, perhaps because he has appointed a cabinet that is
10:07 am
50% female. an unabashed liberal who plans to raise taxes on the wealthy and take climate change seriously. in doing this, he continues the legacy of his father, pierre tr. deau, perhaps canada's most famous prime minister. davos was his debut on the world stage and my interview was his first with a noncanadian broadcaster. listen in. mr. prime minister, you campaigned on the idea that you were going to do deficit spending to build infrastructure, that you were going to reverse canada's denial on climate change issues and embrace an active climate change policy, despite the fact that canada is a major oil producer, a new inclusion policy for aboriginals in canada. i remember a remarkable moment in the campaign when there was talk about prime minister harper said one should strip canadians
10:08 am
who are affiliated with isis of their citizenship. and you said no. you disagreed with that. you didn't think the government should have the power to determine who is a canadian or not in that fashion. i guess my question is, how on earth did you get elected? [ laughter ] >> i spent the past eight years as a politician, having honest, open conversations with canadians in which i listened an awful lot. and from a young age, i had the opportunity, while my father was prime minister, to travel across the country and meet with people and listen to people. and understand the values, the positivity, the optimism that underscores canadians' world view. so in this election, at a time where so much has been made about the power of attacks in politics, of strategic division, of negativity as a powerful motivator to get people out to
10:09 am
vote, we decided that by presenting a positive vision, not only, if it worked out, would we be able to get elected but we would then have the kind of strong and inclusive mandate to provide a positive and good government for canadians. so our focus on this was very much let's bring forward who canadians are and want to be instead of focusing on what we're scared of. and i think that has served us in good stead. >> do you worry that if there are a few more terror attacks like the one in paris -- of course, like the one that took place in canada itself -- it will be difficult to maintain your policy of tolerance, inclusion, and the welcoming of refugees? you've already slowed that down slightly. >> i think -- i think people are open to not choosing to live in
10:10 am
constant fear. there are terrible things in the world. terrible people who want to attack our free and open societies. we have to make a decision how much we're going to close and limit and crack down within our societies in order to protect it. because if you do that too much, you lose part of the free and open nature of society. and i have a tremendous level of confidence in ordinary people, who go through their lives, don't think a lot about politics, don't think a lot about terrorism -- think a lot about their families, their job, about their future and about their community and want to see things work in the right way. and, yes, one of the primary responsibilities of any government is to keep its citizens safe. but one of the other primary responsibilities is keep us free and true to our values.
10:11 am
and getting that balance right in a responsible way, as opposed to a way that raises fears and anxieties is, i think, what people are looking for. >> when you look at the western world today, it seems as though there are problems in europe, the united states is facing some new challenges. i'm talking economically now. do you worry that we are in for another global recession? >> i can't help but being tremendously optimistic, you know. conversations like i've had here, like i've had with business leaders across the country over the past months, conversations i've had with canadians, people are very optimistic about the challenges that are coming and our capacity to build on them, to look at innovation, at the disruption that's happening right now to many old models as an
10:12 am
opportunity to create great advances. yes, there are difficult times. you know, many people around the world are facing real challenges. but i have tremendous confidence in our capacity as governments, as private sectors, as citizens to solve these challenges. >> is president obama a model? >> i think president obama certainly showed that a progressive, intellectual, smart world view can provide tremendous leadership. obviously, there are challenges in each country in getting that world view into policy. but i have been very impressed with how he has reached out and drawn together a very empowering, cohesive vision for the future that will have long impacts into the future in the united states. >> you have had an extraordinary situation in which you are now in the office that you probably
10:13 am
remember from the time you were 4, 5, 6 years old, when your father was prime minister. but you were not groomed to be prime minister. you went off and did all kinds of things, including being a snowboarding instructor. what part of it has been -- you know, what part of it has brought back memories the most now that you're in this job? >> just the contact with canadians. that's something all my life, whether it was a school teacher or, yes, a brief stint as a snowboard instructor and, can i say, davos is lovely but you've got to come to whistler. there's no time difference for americans to come up to whistler. the fact is, meeting with canadians and connecting with them on a values basis, on a positive, hopeful outlook, trusting canadians and focusing on getting people to step up -- my father always challenged us, as his kids.
10:14 am
but he challenged canadians, as well, to be better than we thought we are. and i find that very much the way he raised me to be, as a person. and now as a prime minister. >> but he, your father, also always saw himself as having a role and a message larger than canada. do you believe you have a voice you want to spread beyond canada? >> i think canada -- i'm going to be typically canadian and certainly say it's not my place to tell anyone what they should be doing or shouldn't do. but i think canada has a model that works fairly well at a time where people are looking for how to create pluralistic, successful communities in which there's tremendous opportunity for everyone to succeed. we're working very, very hard on continuing that. we want to be positive players in the world. and i think it certainly is nothing we can impose on everyone. if we can showcase solutions
10:15 am
around harmonious, diverse communities are there to be had, there to be built and it's easier to think positively toward each other and be open and respectful than it is to be angry and mean, i think that's an important lesson to share with the world and i'm glad to be sharing it. >> mr. prime minister, pleasure to have you on. >> pleasure for me. next on gps, everything you need to know about the zika virus and the scariest part of this pandemic. it tells us how unprepared we are for the next one. every day you read headlines about businesses being hacked and intellectual property being stolen. that is cyber-crime and it affects each and every one of us. microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cyber-crime. we use the microsoft cloud to visualize information so we can track down the criminals.

10:19 am
tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you're pregnant or planning to be. ask your dermatologist about otezla today. i've been blind since birth. i go through periods where it's hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. learn about non-24 by calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com.
10:20 am
the zika virus is spreading explosively says the world health organization. it is a pandemic in process says america's top infectious disease doctor. this once obscure virus is found in a wide swath of the americas. it is believed that for most people the virus is a minor medical hiccup, but the cdc has warned pregnant women not to travel to the danger zone. why? there's an association doctors are still investigating between zika and a sometimes deadly birth disorder called miccrocephaly where babies are born with abnormally small heads. joining us to understand the big picture is author and investigative reporter. her next book is called "pandemic" tracking con tanlgions from cholera and ebola
10:21 am
and beyond. can this spread to the united states? >> yes. and it probably will. we've already had other viruses that are carried by these same mosquitos that are present in the united states. it's pretty likely that it will take hold in the u.s. at some point. >> but when you look at things like dengue and other mosquito-born viruses, they don't spread like wildfire in the u.s. the way they do in south mencht why? >> americans don't live in as crowded cities as in, say, northern brazil. that's part of it. the place where we have the mosquitos that carry the mosquitos, people don't live that closely together. we have fewer people in those places, for one thing. it's also the way we live. we have electricity, air conditioning. we go inside. we have screens on our doors and windows. we're protected from mosquito bites. in all these ways are lifestyles are such that we don't get as
10:22 am
exposed as poor people in a brazilian slum might zblb sometimes strange things cause these diseases to spread. you point out that the housing crisis in florida actually helped dengue spread. explain why. >> during the foreclosure crisis we had a lot of abandoned homes. because that's florida, that meant a lot of empty swimming pools and gardens and when the rains came, they filled up withstanding water and they became giant mosquito hatcheries. no one was home to notice or let in the mosquito inspectors and later we had the first epidemic of dengue in florida and 5% of the population in key west was found to have been exposed. >> el salvador has told its women not to get pregnant for the next two years. many other south american countries have issued similar kinds of warnings, though not quite as extreme. is this an overreaction? >> at this point, i don't know that it is. i mean, we don't know enough about the connection between
10:23 am
zika virus and this horrible birth defect. and the other problem is, we can't really surveil for it very well. you can't tell you have it until it's too late to do the best test. so you can see if you have it within the first five days of infection but you don't have symptoms then. you'll be unlikely to go out and see if you have it anyway and do the blood test. we don't have a good way to track this disease. of course, we don't have any treatments for it or any vaccine for it. it's only going to be nine months later when you have the baby that you would realize that i had -- that this thing had happened to you. so, at this point, not getting pregnant, it's really -- it's an incredible public health warning. i haven't heard of anything like that before. and we think of pandemics as causing death rates to go up. in this case, it could have an opposite effect, which is birth rates might fall. >> so this is obviously happening in part because of globalization, trade, travel,
10:24 am
people moving around. and you see -- i think you point out 300 brand new infections in the last 50 years. what's the solution? we're not going to wind back that clock and not travel. goods are going to be moving from place to place. what should we be doing? >> a lot better surveillance for one thing. we can't know which pathogen is going to cause the next sort of big epidemic about we do know where these things are most likely to happen. we know how it happens. in places where there's rampant urbanization, lot of slums, intensive livestock production, all these different ways in which new pathogens can emerge, we know that's how it happens. we can look at a map and see where are the hot spots where this is most likely to occur? we can do intense surveillance in those places and people are already starting to do that in sort of an ad hoc way.
10:25 am
that's something we'll need to step up in the future. >> in countries like the united states, developed countries that would be the recipients here, do we need to have a different public health investment and response? >> i think so. right now we have a biomedical response to these disease outbreaks. and that is to kind of isolate the cause and, you know, the mosquito in this case or virus and surgically target it with chemicals and drugs. what we're seeing is that they're moving from wildlife into human populations or livestock into human populations. they're being driven forward by social and political factors, large-scale diffused environmental factors. we really need a collaborative approach, veterinarians, biologists, political scientists as well as our biomedical experts to really come together to start a much more collaborative approach to solving these health crises.

now for our "what in the world" segment. when you think of france, you probably think of fine wine, exquisite cuisine, great works of art, but not of an economic powerhouse. it's that quintessential example of european style socialism known for leisure instead of long hours, 35-hour workweeks, six weeks of paid vacation and crippling labor unrest every now and then. a week ago i met someone at the economic forum in davos who paint aid different picture, the economic minister. >> france is the next big thing.
10:31 am
it's all about innovation. >> he went through some surprising facts about france's economy. take labor productivity, the measure of how much the average worker can produce in an hour. france has one of the highest levels of the european union, he points out. and that 35-hour workweek -- >> 35 hours a week is not a reality. on average, people work 37 to 38 hours. >> it turns out that the french actually work more hours on average than the germans. although, still much less than the americans, according to the oecd. what about unions? it sometimes seems from across the pond that french workers are always striking. well, unions in france are powerful, but they don't actually have many members. less than 8% of french workers are unionized, according to the oecd's latest tally, far less than the united kingdom and less even than the united states. perhaps the biggest surprise about france is that it turns out to be an entrepreneurial
10:32 am
nation that is becoming a worldwide hub for the technology industry. >> we are number one in start-ups, creation in continental europe. last year we created 1,500 start-ups. >> at consumer electronics show in las vegas this year, one of the marquis events of the tech industry, nearly one-third of the start-ups were french, according to fortune. paris plans to host what is hoped to become the world's largest start-up incubator, housing 1,000 start-ups. >> new generation of entrepreneur. entrepreneur is a french word. it's not an american one. >> entrepreneur is a french word but state control of the economy is also a french word and france has a long tradition of the state being deeply involved in the economy. >> you're right. sometimes you have over interference and over intervention from the government -- i mean, that's something we have to streamline.

they got rid of that dictator. many say the current regime is just as oppressive as the mubarak regime that was deposed. some say it's worse. much of the arab spring are similarly bleak. libya is in chaos and yemen is in civil war. the only other nation to overthrough its ruler back then, tunisia, is the one relative bright spot. what went wrong? joining me an associate professor at the kennedy school of government. he is an author of "arab spring:pathways of owe pregnancy and reform." and based in cairo, she covered the arab spring for "the washington post." leila, let me start with you. isn't it to say that his regime is more oppressive than the
10:39 am
mubarak regime that was deposed? >> i think that's very fair to say. five years on, just before this anniversary, we're seeing mass arrests, people being arrested for starting facebook admin groups. government checking facebook, see if they're organizing protests. there are laws that criminalize any type of protests five years on and we're seeing the faces that really led egypt's revolution in 2011, all those faces are in jail. >> tarek, the regime will say they have to do this because there is a serious threat from what they regard as terrorist organizations. they regard the muslim brotherhood as the nice face of a much more virulent islamic jihadi terrorist movement. is there much evidence for that? how would you skroib what they're doing? >> i think certainly government thinks it is confronting a
10:40 am
terrorist threat. look, they really are. if you look at what's happening in the sinai, this independence incidence la or provin-- penins providence, there is an organization that claims allegiance to isis. this organization has actually been doing things, challenging the authority of the egyptian state even before mohammed morsy was overthrown. one thing we know about revolutionary upheavals, the kind that tunisia, yemen and libya experienced, it's often with an explosion of violence and instability. it's clear that the egyptian military saw this, which even dated -- was existing during
10:41 am
mo morsey's time. and so a lot of their oppressive actions today need to be understood in that light, that they are basically seeing themselves as shoring up the egyptian state against this season of instability, which has claimed so many other arab nations, most recently syria. >> certainly hundreds of thousands that we saw in tahrir square and when we would see the upclose interviews, often young, idealistic, democratically minded people, where have they gone? what do they think of what has happened to egypt? >> that was a very different time. at that time, we saw a cross section of society. i remember when mubarak stepped down, speaking to a 60-year-old professor who wept in the square saying that finally he had a voice.
10:42 am
today, this is a very divided society. people are afraid of becoming syria, of becoming yemen. they don't want blood on the streets in cairo. and so you have a lot of people who say, listen, i would rather take some stability than full freedoms. i want somebody to take control, take the reins here. the state has done a very good job of scaring people. there are fears about the sinai, as tarek mousad said. there are what some have described as really crimes on behalf of the state. violence, as we saw two years ago, where nearly a thousand people were killed to break up a sit-in. it's a time where all opponents, all critics of the government seem to be being jailed. many of the people who stayed on this path of reform and change that they wanted, even when they opposed the brotherhood as well as now the military, a lot of those leaders, so to speak,
10:43 am
those young leaders are in jail. >> tarek, this question that you asked leila about sort of where the revolutions are, and where the revolutionaries are, it's really difficult for me to think about egypt's revolution without alternatively feeling either really stupid or really callous. you know, i remember back, being on your show in january 2011 and totally believing with every cell in my body that egypt could and would move from mubarak to a liberal democracy. now that that dream has really come apart, we can come up with multiple reasons why the dream was never rational one to begin w and everything that i was taught in school should have caused me not to be optimistic. i feel really sometimes stupid when i think how optimistic i was. but then when you think, look,
10:44 am
democracy could have never succeeded and all they can hope for in those places is some kind of stability, you feel really callous and you feel really brutal, because, as leila pointed out, many of these young people who were at the forefront of trying to acknowledge at a time for a more hopeful egypt or more hopeful countries throughout the region are now behind bars. and it is a very sad fact of life that today everybody is excluded. not just islamists, but liberals and secularists. they're also excluded from governance. you have to ask yourself not just if islamists will be radicalized but if this entire population is going to be alienated and what kind of politics is going to result from that. it can't be pretty. >> tarek, leila, pleasure to have you on. next up, an assassination attempt. a woman shot in the face by her father. for what? for falling in love. we'll bring you that story and

10:50 am
filmmaker is bringing this barbaric brand of murder out in the open with her film, which debuts on hbo march 7th. i spoke with her recently in davos. you have a character saba, 18-year-old girl, and she's found almost dead in a river. how did that happen? >> so, saba wanted to get married to a young man from her choice and her uncle opposed it. they took her straight into the dead of the night and into the woods. >> this is her uncle and her father? >> uncle and her father. and then shot her. >> in the face? >> in the face. put her in a bag and threw her in the river and she survived. mir rack cue lousily, she survived. she called emergency services and landed up in a hospital.
10:51 am
now, you can imagine, this is a small town. but the services worked. the emergency services came. the hospital was able to operate on her almost immediately. the police then apprehended her father and her uncle. >> and her father is, interestingly, unrepentent. he essentially tried to kill his own daughter and he thinks he was doing the right thing? >> absolutely. but in jail, i speak with him and he says, i would do it again. i would kill him and her. and -- she brought dishonor to the family. how dare she run away. i looked after her and this is not something i could have -- >> interestingly, he thinks about it as islam but, of course, there's nothing about this in islam. it's some kind of tribal custom that exists in parts of pakistan and afghanistan. >> absolutely. in his mind, he was doing
10:52 am
something that was okay due to religion or culture. however, honor killings are definitely not part of islam at all, a religion that gives women a lot of rights. and i think one of the biggest problems in pakistan and other countries that honor killings are prevalent, there are, around the world, by some estimates, 20,000 women being killed a year in honor crimes. in pakistan alone, the reported number is 1,000 and unreported could go up to 2 or 3,000 because honor killings are hidden from the world. a father kill as daughter, body never found, no one goes to jail for it. even if they do, there's a loophole in the law that allows a wife to forgive her husband or parents to forgive the son if they kill the sister. >> saba seems willing to forgive her family. she sort of reconciles with
10:53 am
them. >> saba initially wanted to fight it. she was forced to forgive. >> you have some good news at the end of it all, which is that the prime minister of pakistan has come out in favor and talked about the movie? >> i think with an academy-award nomination, the prime minister made a very bold statement. he acknowledged that there are elements within pakistan that gr grapple with honor killings and wants to eliminate honor killings. that's a very bold statement from a prime minister who seldom talks about women issues. i feel like he wants to leave a legacy in pakistan that includes women and he's been making a number of gestures that seem that he wants to empower women in pakistan. >> thank you so much. next on "gps," the oldest constitutional democracy in the world relies on some really old
