.@melindagates: “After 20 years of gains on extreme poverty, we now have another over 35 million people dropping backwards into extreme poverty, which means they live on less than $1.90 a day. That is unbelievable… We’re going to have a lot of building back to do – a lot.”
“It’s going to take us probably decades – probably one decade, and in some areas two, to regain back” what has been lost due to coronavirus, says @melindagates.
.@melindagates: “There is good modeling that says if [the first set of vaccine doses] only go to rich world countries, you're going to have twice as much death around the world. So the U.S. needs to be at that table, and it's not right now, and that is a tragedy for everybody.”

Today’s ceasefire is “promising, but much more needs to happen,” Canada’s Prime Minister @MarkJCarney tells me in an exclusive interview. Iran’s military response to US bombing “was proportionate, it was de-escalatory,” he says, and now there’s “an opening for diplomacy.”
@MarkJCarney “Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons,” says Canadian PM @MarkJCarney. “There was a fiction that they perpetrated that this was for only peaceful means,” but levels of enrichment, “their belligerence,” and their use of proxies, “all of that points in one direction.”
@MarkJCarney Canada just signed a major defense and security pact with the EU. “If the US is pulling back, there are others of us who do believe in multilateralism,” Prime Minister @MarkJCarney tells me. “But it’s not a reaction against the United States. It’s *for* something, not against.”

Having spent most of my career covering forces in the field, I am sad & alarmed by this purge of a distinguished man with a trailblazing combat & leadership record in the US military, & that of two women who despite the odds, reached the very pinnacles of military leadership. Image

In 2022, I interviewed General C.Q. Brown, an impressive scholar-soldier with an amazing life story: edition.cnn.com/audio/podcasts…
Having covered the U.S. military in combat, crisis, and peace enforcement all over the world, I have seen how a truly representative military has made the US so powerful and safe.

Since stepping down as Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel’s legacy has come under scrutiny – particularly over reliance on Russian gas and the rise of the far right. But Merkel insists it doesn’t make sense to look at these in hindsight, when I spoke to her in DC this week.
“President Trump lives off actually acting unconventionally and, in this way, draws the attention of people to himself,” Angela Merkel tells me. Nonetheless, “looking back… we were actually able to get to sensible agreements with him.”
“I think [Trump] smells when people are a little bit afraid of him. And when you’re not, then you can enter into good talks with him,” says former German Chancellor Angela Merkel – adding that she wasn’t afraid when she dealt with him.

Last time I interviewed Siamak Namazi, he was inside Iran’s Evin Prison. A year after his release, he says he’s more relaxed for our second interview: “It is such a joy to be talking to you and not worrying about someone dragging me to a solitary cell somewhere because of it.”
In the year since he was freed from Iranian prison, Siamak Namazi tells me that adjusting to normal life “is a very difficult process. I remember having to set an alarm to remind myself to leave the apartment… I just wasn’t used to doing that.”
After he was freed from 8 years of imprisonment in Iran, Siamak Namazi says there wasn’t much government support. Nor did the US government debrief him, he says, despite the fact that “I’ve clocked the most hours negotiating with the Revolutionary Guards.”

“By targeting our civilians… [Russia is] trying to break our will to win,” says General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I spoke to him at an undisclosed location near the frontlines, in his first TV interview as Ukraine’s top commander.
Russia planned a new attack from Kursk before Ukraine’s incursion, General Syrskyi tells me. “We moved the fighting to the enemy’s territory so that he could feel what we feel every day… In addition, we took a sufficient number of prisoners. We created an ‘exchange fund’”.
“We are doing everything we can not to lose Pokrovsk,” Ukraine’s top commander General Oleksandr Syrskyi tells me. “Over the past six days, the enemy has not advanced a single meter in the Pokrovsk direction. So our strategy is working.”

The National Rally was “surprised” that Macron called parliamentary elections so soon after the EU elections, Marine Le Pen @MLP_officiel tells me. As the left and center coalesce against her party ahead of the second round, I asked her how it feels to be considered so dangerous.
@MLP_officiel French soccer star Killian Mbappé has urged his compatriots not to vote for the extremes. The National Rally’s Marine Le Pen tells me she’s “not much of a football enthusiast,” but that his intervention “is starting to not be well received in our country.”
@MLP_officiel In 2017, Marine Le Pen outlined to me a plan to negotiate with the EU – and then to consider a referendum on quitting. Six years later, does she stand by that? “No,” she tells me. “We’re not going to leave the European Union.”
