what does fareed zakaria say now? >> "firing line with margaret hoover" is made possible in part by... and by... corporate funding is provided by... >> fareed zakaria, welcome back to "firing line" and happy new year. >> thank you so much. pleasure to be with you, margaret. >> as 2022 gets under way, omicron is driving a surge in cases and hospitalizations, and there is fresh debate over what our public-healt posture should be. now, you've finished writing your most recent book, "ten lessons for a post-pandemic world," back in june of 2020, when roughly 125,000 americans had died from the virus. we're rapidly closing in on 850,000 american lives lost. how, fareed, have your 10 lessons for the post-pandemic world held up? >> you know, actually surprisingly well. if you look at the biggest challenge the united states has had, what i pointed out in the book, that our public-health system is not really designed for public health, by which i mean, it's designed for private health. we have a healthcare system where if you'r

welcome, liz. >> thanks, fareed.e. >> so i want to ask you, you're the person who really in some ways fundamentally alerted us to the fact xi jinping marked i very different leadership in china with a much more ambitious and in some ways more repressive and in some ways more expansionist sense of china. what do you think is most important to him on his agenda when he looks out right now, is it more consolidation at home, is it more external influence abroad? >> certainly 2022 is a really important year for xi jinping because it is going to mark the third point of transition for him. so come this fall he is up to be reselected for general secretary of the communist party for his third five-year term, and then we anticipate another third five-year term as president of the country the following spring. i think there's little doubt his number one priority is cementing his political control, his political leadership and ensuring sort of a smooth 2022. having said all of that, i would say he has surprised us before with hi

>> not only do i feel that way, fareed, it's reality., the whole idea of brexit was in many ways portrayed that this was going to make the united kingdom greater, increase its independence, increase its global role. instead it shrunk it, it's diminished it, and johnson's personal behavior further dim she is the appeal of this country, plus it has its hands full with brexit. they still haven't come to a formula consistent with the good friday agreement that's the basis of peace in northern ireland. so my guess is when history looks at the leaders from david cameron to boris johnson, they are going to see these people as pulling the thread that broke the fabric of the united kingdom. the day will come when northern ireland joins the republic of ireland, we could see things happening with scotland. this is little england and it's tragic for the united states as well. we have lost an important voice in european councils and we have lost in some ways a powerful neighbor that could be a power. there is no silver lining in the cloud that could

i want to bring in now fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria gps," the perfect person to talk to abouted, thank you. i appreciate you joining us this evening. the president says that the u.s. may move some troops in the near term. is a russian invasion inevitable at this point? what is the truth here? >> no, it is not inevitable. i think what vladimir putin is trying to do is to escalate and put enormous pressure on the west, on nato and obviously on ukraine and trying to get a whole bunch of concessions that he feels are long his due, that the west needs to understand russia has national interests, ukraine can't become a nato, nato can't conduct military exercises so close to russia's border. and he's picked this moment because he thinks the west is divided, rudderless, confused, but most importantly because he feels he is in a very power-strong position. the nord stream 2 pipeline is almost done. the germans need russian gas. europe is having a huge energy crisis. gas prices are up 400%. this is all part of a very strategic move by putin. he may -- i think he's willing to go to war.

>> so, fareed, yes, we have to contrast.kdowns we experienced in the united states and europe are nothing like the chinese. you are in your apartment, they shut off the elevators, food gets delivered to you or it doesn't get delivered to you in some cases and there are draconian measures if you're caught outside and that lasts weeks, it can last more than three weeks of that, and it's millions of people, 14, 15 million people at a time, and many -- in fact, most all the businesses are closed. what they have to do, and you can see this in other countries that adopted initially a zero covid policy, but now are opening up, is you have to vaccinate your population with an effective vaccine, that's an mrna vaccine, and then slowly open, but not overwhelm the system. because even with good vaccines and booster shots, we know that people are going to get omicron and that some of them, not a lot, but some of them will need hospitalization and that you want to prevent overwhelming the system. remember, the chinese have 1.4 billion pe

the books and books bookstore chain in the miami area and we'll get an idea of how his business has fared over the past two years. but let's start with some publishing industry news. over the holidays three best-selling authors died. joan didion wrote 11 books including slouching towards bethlehem and the year of magical thinking she was known as a leading voice in the new journalism movement of the 1960s. and pulitzer prize-winning biologist edward o wilson of harvard spent his 70-year year career studying insects specifically ants among his numerous books was a 2013 social conquest of earth and his 2020 biography tales from the ant world. and bell hooks focused a great majority of her writing on race and feminism. she released 30 books over 40 years including her 1981 debut entire woman black women and feminism and in 1997 released wounds of passion a writing life. well, all of these authors have appeared on book tv's monthly interview program in depth and you can watch their appearances any time by visiting book tv.org and searching their name using the search bar at top of the page. n

out front now, fareed zakaria, host of fareed zakaria gps. we all -- we all know that -- that -- that taiwan, um, is at the core of all of this between the u.s. and china. and yet, the unsaid was said today in a remarkably tough and direct warning by the chinese ambassador who did not just go on npr and randomly stumble into that comment. >> oh, no, the chinese diplomats are very, very disciplined. you are exactly right, that this was a carefully chosen moment. this was the first interview the ambassador has given. um, he is xi jinping's chosen ambassador, unlike the previous one who was a holdover from the old regime. so, what he says matters a great deal. he is a rising star in the foreign policy bureaucracy in china. um, it is, you know, in a sense, a slightly more explicit version of what china has said many times. president xi told president biden when they spoke that if -- if anyone encourages taiwanese independence, they are playing with fire. so it -- there with stand to be a little more metaphoric than explicit here but the danger is

and also, fareed zakaria, host of fareed zakaria gps here on cnn. dana, what are you hearing from your source about how the president did how they think the president did and how democrats are -- are feeling tonight? >> well, people i checked in with just when it comes to the political calendar are some house democrats. those who are in the most competitive seats and the word i had back was a couple things. number one, they were happy that he was open to the notion of breaking up his massive spending bill that is stuck in the senate. and doing so piecemeal which he revealed today in his press conference because it shows a willingness to -- to change in order to get things done. and just on the performance part of it, um, the fact that he spoke for almost two hours -- i was getting texts during the press conference from some political operatives saying make it stop. but from the -- another political perspective it was -- the response i got was well it shows that he has stamina -- which is a big deal for a lot of democrats right now who are hearing fr

. >>> i want to bring in now fareed zakaria, the host of fareed zakaria gps. good to see you as well. look, every president faces big challenges, but president biden is starting a tremendous -- staring at, i should say, a tremendous upheaval at home. a loss of voting rights, a pandemic-weary population, the coordinated republican assault on our democracy. how has the administration faced up to all of that? >> look, they had a plan, don. it was not an unreasonable plan. and the plan was that they were going to take heroic measures to get people vaccinated and that that was going to break the back of covid. that would then usher in economic activity, and you'd be -- you know, you would be in a very different place than you were in the last year of the trump administration. they did, in fact, manage to in a really herculean fashion, get access to vaccines, get the supply of vaccines done. they then hit a brick wall, which was there was a sudden number of people, a large number of americans who just wouldn't take the vaccine. and that is largely because of this pe

the problems facing our railways have been compounded by reduced fare income as a result of a fall inon restrictions, commuter numbers in great western railways were less than half what they were pre—covid. that's despite a much quicker bounce back in road traffic. so our cuts to services derailing the recovery and will more of us take to our cars when fares rise again in march. there is no point in conveying fresh air around the country if there isn't demand. our concern is that this is a chicken and egg situation. people will not come back to the trains if the offering that is being made available is not one that is attractive to people. and that's a combination of frequency, journey time, whether you have to change and of course, importantly, price as well. and it's notjust rail users feeling the pressure. train companies say they've been confronted with a government squeeze on their running costs. there is absolutely no point in saving e1 in costs of operating the railway if you lose £2 in revenue and what the service that is now being offered in large parts is simply unattractive

>> reporter: well, as fareed was saying, it is a complex situation and president biden is, as fareedutlined, trying to, you know, pick his way through it very carefully and to lay it out carefully. but it's undoubtedly that complexity that leads to the sort of gaps in positions between the united states and its allies and partners, that nato, it's allow today a degree for the french president, for example, yesterday, to re-express his feelings that the european union should have a voice at the table. the french president has always wanted the eu to have a more united defense position, a defense policy. so this, this complexity has allowed the waters to become muddied, and undoubtedly the assessment, you know, from western analysts is that if the kremlin -- president putin will be able to look at that muddied waters and perhaps find an opportunity there to exploit the situation as he wants to do in ukraine. what we're hearing from the kremlin today or at least foreign ministry spokeswoman today, saying that all this talk about an invasion that is being -- she implied heightened built

let's get perspective from cnn's fareed zakaria, the host of fareed zakaria g pfrmtss.ate, how much damage could putin inflict on u.s. citizens if he decides to target critical infrastructure here at home? >> i think he could do substantial damage. i think our critical infrastructure is fairly vulnerable. ted ckoppel wrote a very good book about this many years ago that's largely still true. it's worth pointing out that would be a very significant escalation. the russians have not in any way indicated that that is the path that they're on. they have, in fact, downplayed the agree to which they'll be any kind of actual military intervention. if anything, they've been more careful about not escalating. the biden administration has i think very appropriately and very shrewdly publicized all the range of possible things that russians can do. so a we're not surprised by them, b, it puts the russians on alert that we know what they're capable of, where these things could go. false flag attacks in ukraine, cyberattacks in ukraine, cyberattacks in the u.s. i think cyberattacks

i think now the difference is smaller between the highest and the lowest fares.he lowest business class for premium cost fear is more competitive -- fare is more competitive with main cabin. so people say it is not that big of an increase. i will go ahead and pay up so i get on first and get the overhead bin and get comfortable in my seat and i am happy. taylor: yeah, certainly i know we have all been there at one point or another. talk to us more about profitability and price elasticity airlines and then a labor shortage or a labor workforce that certainly is demanding more. the impact of that on profitability and the willingness and ability to pass that onto the consumer. helane: we are thinking about that like three different ways i guess. first is cost headwinds. you mentioned the two big ones, labor cost and fuel cost. we are definitely seeing those cost pressures in the first part of the year. oil prices being $87 a barrel and jet fuel could be $230 to $250 a gallon. that is not consistent with other airlines. definitely pressure. to your point, everyone ha

during the 19th century trade fare, buildings were constructed in the city center. the best known and most famous is the made la passenger we lupsi of it's not on the lead is went even further to develop the structure for the sample fairs known as fair palaces. $31.00 starting around 1900, over 2 dozen of them popped up around central leipzig. many of them in the form of passages, one twin boys in the bottom floors at a displays to this day shift on the upper floors. the actual 1st spaces were conceived as one way layouts, like an eye key hung from good, swung from going for you heard about you, kia ya as a lot of the visitors i brought up to one floor and the fair organizes have to make sure they don't get away, i'm sure those star am shocked, wasn't with citizens. they had to go all the way around and wants to satisfied, just like an ikea today. they go on to the next floor to them and see us if we monitor the java. so this one way layout became the model for the sample fair palaces of light, 6 inner city, thus pod about food, food, the wisdom is a palestinian sha

look, tensions clearly continuing to grow despite what fareed said yesterday.ia, now we have ukraine growing russia. peskov saying they're not behind it, don't know anything about it. what more do we know? what's ukraine saying here? >> well, the ukrainians are saying they have some indications that it might have been actors from russia or belarus that are behind the cyber attack. the russians obviously deny that. we heard that from dmitry p peskov. . i think one of the other things we heard in that interview of fareed, really very good interview, was that peskov in that interview said he's not sure whether there can be an agreement between russia and the u.s. but right now the u.s. and russia are, as he put it, on completely different tracks. he said that he finds that very disturbing. so it certainly seems that right now everything looking -- is looking more towards more confrontation rather than less confrontation. we've heard some things from the russians about the things that they want from nato and from the u.s. they say they want written security guarant

go to cnn.com/fareed for a link to my "washington post" column this week. and let's get started. ♪ >>> after three rounds of high-level meetings between russia and the west this week, the two sides are no closer to compromise over de-escalation on the ukrainian border. the russians express frustration that the united states has not responded to a series of demand that include ukraine never joining nato and rolling back nato activities in eastern europe. washington says these demands are nonstarters and that russia could be laying the groundwork to fabricate a pretext for an invasion. so what exactly is moscow's end game? kremlin's longtime spokesman, dmitry peskov, has been by vladimir putin's side for two decades. one of his closest aides. i talked to him on friday in an exclusive interview. mr. peskov, pleasure to have you on, sir. >> it's my pleasure. it's my pleasure, thank you. >> why has russia brought these proposals -- some people would say why has russia created this crisis now? many of the things that are being talked about, the russian demands, t

but perhaps his biggest political concern is how he fares within his own party. a look at why that is crucial, along with some history, i spoke with special correspondent jeff greenfield, who joined us from santa barbara. so, jeff, when we see these twists and turns, where does the president stand with his own party, among democrats? >> well, a new associated press poll says his approval rating among democrats is 71%. which might sound high, except that's a sharp decline from the near-unanimous 97% approval rating he had at the start of his presidency. and also, only 48% of democrats say they want biden to run in 2024. that's three years away. you can't overanalyze that. but he's also hurt amongomen, the young, latinos, blacks-- core elements of the democratic party. >> sreenivasan: so what's the kind of short-term implication of that? >> well, it's pretty obvious that if you go into a midterm where the president's party is always up against it, with an unhappy democratic electorate, that affects everythg from working to get out the vote to actually showing up at

fareed zakaria spoke exclusively with a spokesman for president vladimir putin who claims somehow thate here. have a listen to what he said. >> there are no russian troops. i'm a spokesperson to kremlin and i can tell you there are no russian troops on the ukrainian soil. but there are russian troops on the territory of the russian federation next to ukrainian borders. and we find it necessary to keep those troops there in front of the very tense situation and very unfriendly environment created by various training of nato. >> fareed zakaria joins us now. to hear him there claim -- i suppose he can claim there are no official russian troops in eastern ukraine, but everyone knows the u.s. has credible intelligence that these are russian-backed forces, russian weapons, and have been for a number of years here. when you spoke to him, you heard statements like that. you see the broader statements from the kremlin about just what they're demanding in exchange for backing off here. do you see a path to agreement, or do you see a rationalization for war? >> i see a very narrow path for agreem

. >>> let's bring in fareed zakaria. good too to see you. let's start with this meeting and the promise of the meeting at the united nations tomorrow. can some real concrete diplomatic progress come from it? >> it could theoretically in the sense that the two sides have positions that are not unbridgeable. there are a few things the russians are asking for that the united states and nato will not offer, you know, a blanket guarantee that ukraine will never be a member of nato. that's not going to happen. but there's a lot of other stuff with regard to troop deployments, nuclear weapons, things like that, where you could imagine compromises. the problem is there's very little for us on either side. there's a great deal of distrust, in fact, and one way of keeping the alliance together is the united states has staked out a very strong position trying to make sure that there is no division within the alliance. so in negotiating terms, it will take -- it will take real skill but there are elements of the negotiated path. >> the whole issue of na

we took office nj transit riders and suffered through eight years that saw them paying 36% more in fares but receiving less reliable services in return, so rider safety once a back burner issue has been restored to the forefront, new locomotives and passenger cars and newer and cleaner running buses are not only finally on order but being delivered and put into service. the shortages of trained engineers and bus operators that led to canceled roots have been backfilled giving nj transit the roster it needs to keep lines running. on time performance is up, cancellations and delays are down and we did all of that without asking customers to pay one penny more in fares for four straight years. over the past four years we also restored a basic sense of social and environmental justice including an acting the nation's strongest environmental justice law. we expanded and protected voting rights and started down the long path of true criminal justice reform that will ultimately lead us to safer communities and stronger bonds of trust and goodwill between law enforcement and the residents they s

others faring worse, those that don't have domestic markets.'s take a look at how these elevated price levels are playing out on the political front. let's get to new york. vonnie: the highest in nearly 40 years. president biden saying his administration is making progress, even as headline inflation hits the highest and a must for decades. the president says the u.s. cpi report shows a meaningful reduction over last month with gas and food prices falling. this top economic advisor notes the fed's role in easing price pressures. >> they are continuing to predict we will see in easing -- and easing over the course of 2022. the fed is operating independently and the president has underscored the importance of operating independently to take actions consistent with making sure these price increases do not become entrenched. vonnie: the u.s. says russia must abide after a second round of talks concluded without a clear path forward. washington says moscow gave no commitment to de-escalation during wednesday's meeting. little progress was made in mo

the new regional non-union netransit and congestion toll revenues along with the pricing and transit fares are all committed to treasure island directly to funding the new transportation services. that is the other performance measure. however, treasure island is an equity priority community. therefore, this board has included an additional goal that wasn't originally included that is affordability. the board has since called for since 2011 calls for an affordability program to be developed to consider each element of the transportation program and ensure affordability for current and future low income households on the island. we bring this item to you now because new homes are for sale on the island right now. occupancy is expected later this year. the new transportation program launched so the transit services, features like the transit pass as well as the congestion management are all planned to launch together in mid 2024. that is subject to closing program funding gaps, otherwise, it would be able to launch in mid 2024. approval of the toll policy now will support the delivery of the
