On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his take on the spread of anti-Semitism, after the attention drawn by two freshman Democrats, Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), over comments about Israel.
"Muslims should be particularly thoughtful when speaking about these issues," Fareed says, because anti-Semitism has spread through the Islamic world since the 19th century.
"Anti-Semitism is now routine discourse in Muslim populations in the Middle East, and alas far beyond. While some Arab governments have stepped back from the active promotion of hate, the damage has been done," Fareed says, noting that it should be possible to criticize Israel and examine AIPAC's lobbying, but the two Democrats have unfortunately "squandered an opportunity to further that important debate" by phrasing the issue as they sometimes have.
Next, in a wide-ranging interview, Bill Gates discusses inequality, his charitable work, Howard Schultz's presidential aspirations, Amazon's canceled plans for a campus in New York, and how emission sources other than electricity—like agriculture—have to be addressed to fight global warming.
Stanford computer-science Prof. Daphne Koller discusses how artificial intelligence can change health care, through diagnostics, genetic analysis, and disease prediction. Finally, our "What in the World" segment examines how America came to exert influence over the World Bank, but not the IMF, as President Trump pushes bank critic David Malpass as its next leader. (Surprisingly, it's a spy story.)
And for some Sunday reading, check out Fareed spends his Sundays, as profiled in The New York Times. | |
