radio cairo is big. the bbc. if you look at newspapers and what they publish, it is either written by their own journalists or 80% or 90% is taken from the new york times, so much of what we consider to be the basis of public debate or political society is that these are directly coming from these public diplomacy agencies. maybe something has been placed. that is of course always possible, but i'm always wondering -- that's the reason why i showed up here -- what is its actual impact? if we go to the state archives and look at how they spent some resources, we assume they had an impact, but it we actually look at the ground, it was not really important. what was important was what was going on on the editorial pages of the washington post, for example. the only time you actually see public diplomacy having any impact in the newspapers is when the american cultural center has a meeting or public event or sends a stipend to the u.s. those kinds of things have a tangible effect on public debate. it is not easy ques

and you see slight increases under obama when he was elected after the cairo speech. but after that, expectations were not met. we see a drop. and in some cases in several countries, favorability towards the u.s. was lower under obama than it was in bush's final year. which is an important point to em. that is sort of thoord process. how could that possibly be? but even in the case of say jordan, it's only a 1% increase. but u.s. favorability went up from 14% in 2015 to 15% under trump. so you negotiation pretty much the same. but it shows that at least in places where there is strong anti-american sentment that's been there for a long time, do people really care that fch trump was elected? they may not like him. but for them they're life long experience with the u.s. policy is a very negative one. and they're very skeptical that anyone can really change that. and i think the obama years really underscore that point because, again, i mean, the cairo speech was quite well received but then people didn't actually see significant changes in policy. also if you look at tu

came into office hoping to turn around america's image in the region and give his famous speech in cairo to kick off his efforts. we didn't see a real sea change here in the obama presidency in terms of the u.s. and this year survey especially in turkey and jordan. africa is a region where we typically have seen mostly positive views for the united states.wh that was true during the bush era when we survived anti-americanism. he was pretty popular there. his policies were relatively popular there. the same is true or maybe even more so during the obama era and even though they had been these declines in africa in their survey on balance the countries we surveyed it changed in the u.s. in a positive light. latin america, differences across the latin american nation that we surveyed. mexico stands out as a place and this year survey that has very negative ratings for the u.s. at least vis-À-vis what we used to say in our surveys. this is a map that illustrates the change in u.s. favorability since the last time we surveyed all of these countries. red countries are where thereng has been a

i think the obama years really underscored that point because again, i mean, the cairo speech was quite well received but then people didn't actually see significant changes in policy. also if you look at turkey, it was in one of the years under bush, there was 12% approval of the u.s. it dropped down under obama to 10% in 2011. and jumps up and now it's at 18%. so depending on what years you look at, again, under trump, in 2017, is higher than some of the years obama's tenure. so it's porn to keep in mind that the middle east is sort of an outlier if you look at the rest of the results. but i think it sort of gets to a question that applies to a lot of the results in this survey is how much does any of this really mat her what does it mean to say that favorability ratings drop tremendously or increase tremendously under a certain president? does it actually matter as much as we might think it does? and clearly when you have a new president it can shoot up 60% or go down 60% as we've seen from the bush-obama transition, but transition.ma-trump the world doesn't end with these changes, i

for instance, tufekci points to the 2011 protests in cairo's tahrir square. >> the government just didn't know what to do, so they just shut off the internet, which completely backfired. it was the absolute wrong thing to do if you were a government because it just brings attention. and a lot of parents who were getting news from their kids in tahrir square, the cell phones were also cut. >> sreenivasan: but governments have also learned how to use digital technology. five years later, during an attempted coup in turkey, president recep tayyip erdogan relied on digital technology-- his iphone facetime app-- to rally supporters against rebellious soldiers. >> it was really sort of amazing to watch this. it was just this little screen, but it confirmed to the country that he was alive. they realized very quickly that the internet and digital technology would be on their side to counter this coup. >> sreenivasan: you point out how crucial twitter and facebook were in getting people to come out to the street, but you also point out that there's a tremendous amount of power on these platforms

we believe the cairo center and poor activists across the country and other people coming together, weues that deals withcies tink racism, not just when somebody says the "n" word, but systemic racism, policies that hurt people because of color, poverty, the war economy and national morality. think about it, trevor, we just came through a presidential election, 26 debates on both sides of the aisle. you didn't hear the word "poor." when you go through an entire presidential election and you talk about tweets, e-mails and texts more than you talk about poverty, systemic racism and the war economy and national morality from the perspective of justice, we need a revival of values in this country, otherwise, we will continue to see the likes of trump and others get elected.

having a famous speech in cairo in 2009. to kick off the efforts. we do not see a real change during the obama presidency in terms of views of the us and it is certainly very negative this year especially in turkey and jordan. africa is a region where we have typically seen mostly positive views towards the united states. that was true during the bush era when it was anti-americanism. in many regions. he was pretty popular there, his policies were relatively popular there and leaders continue to get good ratings there. same is true or even more so during the obama era. even though there have been some decline in this survey, the countries we surveyed at least continue to see the us in a positive light. latin america again, some differences across the latin american nations that we surveyed. mexico stands out as a place in this year's survey that has very negative views of the us. you can see that a little bit on this map here. this is a map that illustrates the change in us favorability since the last time we surveyed in all of these countries. red

i've been based in rome and berlin and is a cairo bureau chief.'ve written two novels, shadow man and thomas surgeons. thank you for being here. in the strange times, strong journalism with good book and challenging ideas are critical.

the impact of the message came a few hours later, 2:00 in the morning cairo time, when there was a knock on the door at nasser's villa. he opens the door and there is the soviet ambassador to egypt. and he reads him a personal cable from alexei kosygin, in which he says we have learned from the americans who have learned from the israelis, that you egyptians plan to start a middle east war. we do not want egypt to be blamed for starting a conflict. if you fire the first shot, we will not be behind you. dumbfounded, how did the israelis even know about it? he convenes his general staff and says there has been a terrible leak, whatever you have planned, call it off. but the general was not to be quickly persuaded. he contacted the chief of the egyptian air force, and he said, how long will it take operation dawn to get off the ground? the chief of the air force said they were climbing into their cockpits and within 45 minutes they would be airborne. during the next three quarters of an hour, the future of the middle east hung in the balance. and he utilized those 45 minutes to consult with
