secretary of state madeiline albright. on the world of challenges facing the trump administration, from north korea to russia. and her latest book on fascism, then and now. ♪ edition of our program. i'm christiane amanpour in london. a year and a half into the trump presidency, america's friends and foes are still trying to make sense of this administration's disruptive approach. but one thing is for sure, the old political order is under severe stress and strain, maybe even under dire threat. from breaking with decades of u.s. foreign policy, to ripping up international agreements, and imposing trade tariffs on allies and adversaries alike. president trump is shaking up geopolitics in an unprecedented way, often leaving just disruption in his wake. earlier this year, i put some of the biggest foreign policy challenges facing the administration to the former secretary of state madeiline albright, whose new book, "fascism: a warning," argues that the tendencies towards a neofascism pose a more serious threat now than at any

you said in your prepared remarks learning so much from and admiring so much madeleine albright. and you talked about her strength, her belief in a strong military and diplomacy. and partners in the way she ran the secretary of state's office, i agree with that. she was a very adept secretary of state. what of her practices do you plan to follow in any of the things that you learned from her that you're going to use in your service. >> well, that was one key element. i also think the integration of our economic strategies overseas with our traditional political and national security diplomacy is very important, an area i hope we can work on together. i also think secretary albright was very gifted at persuading foreign leaders and counterparts to join us in multilateral strategies to deal with the challenges that we face. that was something i admired greatly the way she did it. she was firm. she went about it in a very firm, direct, frank way, and she gained allies by persuading countries that the right cause was to work with us. >> you know, the situation in new mexico, i saw an

joining me on the line is former us secretary of state, madeleine albright.your time. i spotted your tweets in which you called senator mccain a friend and colleague who was with you in the fight for global human rights. how will you remember him? i will remember him as one of the most valiant, patriotically dedicated public servants i have ever met. somebody who understood the honour of serving his country and served his country with honour. and senator mccain was often called a maverick. what do you think made him so independently minded? what do you think made him so independently minded ?|j what do you think made him so independently minded? i think from what i understand he was always independent minded. he came from a military family and any number of different aspects, he was kind of a rebel in some ways as a young man, and then when he served, and obviously was captured, his dedication and understanding of being able to know what he thought and be brave and firm, some things that might have seemed kind of renegade as a young man are something that rea

and after nine o'clock we'll be hearing from the former us secretary of state madeleine albright whocy will live on wherever democracy is defended. the british—iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, has been refused an extension, to her temporary release fromjail in iran. her husband richard, confirmed she'd returned to evin prison, after a three day release, spent with her familyjust outside of the capital tehran. she was given a five year sentence in 2016 and accused of spying, a charge she denies. the headlines on bbc news. pope francis is returning to rome after his visit to ireland. earlier, at a mass for 300,000 people in dublin, he vowed to pursue justice for the victims who suffered abuse at the hands of the clergy. several people have been killed in a mass shooting at an entertainment complex injacksonville, florida. police say the suspect was shot dead at the scene. senatorjohn mccain, who died yesterday aged 81, will lie in state in arizona's capitol building, an honour only given to a few notable americans, including john f kennedy and ronald reagan. sport and for a fu

madelein albright is also in this book saying, really incendiary terms, the balance is out of whack andially in the years since 9/11 there has been less and less space for diplomats in the room. and the consequence of that are exactly as john kerry says, we give up opportunities to end and avert war. >> do you think that if this deal dies and the europeans somehow can't manage to save it along with iran because of u.s. pressure, that we are back to a -- what president obama said, either a nuclear armed iran, or a much higher likelihood of another war in the middle east? >> there is an extraordinarily high risk of that. the obama administration -- you know, this isn't just partisans. these are top military officials who have in some cases survived multiple administrations, both parties looking at the options on the ground and tactically what they concluded was the ability to strike iran to reduce their nuclear capacity was woefully limited. they can put things underground, they can rebill. once they have the technical know how, they can always in a few months get back to where they were.

were not targeting any group in particular they were targeting ordinary iraqis and when madeline albright famously was asked whether five hundred thousand children who have died in the during the me after that five hundred thousand more died but after five hundred thousand had died there were she was asked in an interview what was it worth it and said yes it was worth it so the mentality in the united states of exceptionalism and is i think leads them to disregard the value of human life and that's why they invade countries they destroy libya and they don't you know no one is punished for it even though they've destroyed the country now we have the african slaves being sold in the country organs being sold it's a fantastic market for murderers and people who want to sell organs so and that the same is true with iran the intention is to make ordinary people suffer so just. to make them suffer so much that out of sheer misery they will rise up and hopefully in the eyes of the americans overthrow the political order i think that's itself shows that the united states does not have the clout t

so following on the heels of our second woman secretary of state, condoleezza rice, and gloria albright, i thought it was important to continue fighting for women. so we did that and it made a big difference, and i think we benefited from it. the question andrea is asking now is one that should concern every american regardless of party or idealogy. the state department projects our power and our values around the world. they also do things like help you out if you need a visa or you lose your passport when you're traveling or, you know, someone you know dies and you've got to get the body back. there are a lot of nuts and bolts, practical work, that is also carried out. and i'm distressed, in fact, i'm just really deeply worried that in the last year and a half we have driven from the state department some of the most qualified foreign service officers and civil service officers. we have sort of shut down the pipeline for young people, and why does that matter? well, because there are certain language skills. when i became secretary in 2009, we were still desperate to build up our arab

. >> madeleine albright said it once, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.here's an expectation that others have, that we have helped to create, whether it's world policeman or a trm i like to use, umpire. the u.s. tries to umpire all these conflicts all the time. we're still lacking a leadership that will look beyond to the next 70 years. mark is completely right. we've been doing this officially since 1947. but it's always been this odd thing where it's expected but not legitimate. it's not legit mated by international law or by american law. yet people expect it and demand it. it's a conundrum. how do we get others to take more responsibility without being bad partners ourselves? we helped to create a wonderful structure of world security. we need to appreciate that and sustain that. but one way of sustaining that is by developing good partners and make sure we're not carrying this burden that has us ricochetting from one issue to the next. >> lbj library as the johnson white house chronicled his 5 1/2 years in the white house. did he have influence in th

the former us secretary of state madeleine albright has given us her memories of senator mccain.ant, patriotic and dedicated public servants i've ever met, somebody who understood the honour of serving his country, and served his country with honour. i think that, from what i understand, he always was kind of independent minded. he came from a military family, and was at annapolis and any number of different aspects when he was kind of a rebel in some ways as a young man. and when he served, i think that... and obviously was captured, that his dedication, his understanding of being able to know what he thought and to be brave and firm, so some things that might have seemed kind of renegade each as a young man is something that marked him and make it possible for him to survive five years as a prisoner of war —— renegade—ish. i think that he did rake with his party a number of times, andi did rake with his party a number of times, and i think some of his collea g u es times, and i think some of his colleagues probably wondered why he was doing what he was doing. but i think that t

ask madeleine albright and the clinton administration but there are a couple things that look different to me this time. kim jong un is a different leader, maybe that's it. i think because north korea was getting close to a capability to being able to reach the territory of the united states with a nuclear weapon that people began to take the american president more seriously when he said that's not acceptable. i know this isn't good from an alliance management standpoint but it was one thing when that threat was regional, it's another threat when it's california or alaska people including the chinese began to take more seriously the threat the united states might go to war . secondly, i actually think and we had the secretary of state and i think secretary of state mike pompeo is going to be a good secretary but let's give credit to rex tillerson. expelled workers from 20 countries was hard currency for the regime. the regime was also starting to run out of spare parts, military spare parts and by the way, some of the luxury goods, one of the most effective sanctions we had was on bran

former presidents in both political parties from senators, but also i have one here from madeleine albright. it's not self-evident but you and i know that john mccain was responsible for the international republican institute which he chaired and she chaired the national democratic institute traveling around the world, working together. this is one of the things that he legislated. he was very proud of it. and he was very active till his illness in it chairing it. and she also an octojen flairian traveling around the world as he did, he was never home during congressional recesses. he was always finding someone in the world, mark salter wrote about this in the west just now in something he posted finding refugees, prisoners in myanmar who said to him we remember your voice. you called out our names how much it meant to us that you resighed our names on radio free europe. the voice of america or one of those brafs. >> yeah, it's such an important piece of his legacy and probably not one that gets enough attention but i think the reason he was as comfortable with democrats as with republicans

guest: madeleine albright said you are dammed if you do and you are dammed if you don't.here's a nice vacation that others have and we will step in whether it's world policeman or umpire, united states is trying to umpire always conflict all the time and i think what we are lacking still is a kind of leadership that will look beyond to the next 70 years. mark is completely right, we have been doing this officially since 1947, but it's always this odd thing where it's expected, but not legitimate. it's not legitimated by international law, it's not legitimate by american law, and yet people expect it and demand it. so it's a kind of conundrum we faced for a while, how do we get others to take more badonsibility without being partners ourselves, because we have created this wonderful or helps to great a wonderful structure of world security and we need to appreciate that and sustain that. of sustaining that is by developing good partners and making sure we are not carrying this burden that has us ricocheting from one issue to the next. another film in just a moment from the
