here's what the french president told our fareed zakaria in this exclusive interview to cnn. >> were you disappointed that president trump chose not to go to the cemetery and memorial? >> i know it was his decision, but this is a place that french and american soldiers died together fighting for freedom, and is very important in the history of the u.s. marine corps. were you disappointed? >> no, i think it was just because of the weather and for security reasons, so i do respect that. i'm not part of the security team of president trump. he did want to go there, and we had a discussion, we had a very pleasant and friendly lunch. he wanted to go there, but he was not in a situation to go because the helicopter was blocked in paris due to the weather. but anyway, i appreciate that he had intention to go. if you remember, we together at the white house garden, precisely, we put an oak coming from waterloo together as a symbol of this alliance. so i'm sure that next time it will be in a situation to go there, that they still have a tree in a certain way representing this alliance and the

. >>> fareed zakaria sat down a few hours earlier with president emmanuel macron. >> in his exclusive interview he asks about the tweet president trump sent arriving in paris criticizing macron. >> obviously your expression about the european army irritated president trump. he tweeted something about it. do you think there's an inevitable clash here? >> no. we had a good discussion and conferred in front of the press that he was okay. >> does that mean his tweet was a mistake? >> i don't know. i'm not the one to command his tweets. i always prefer to answer questions and make my diplomacies for tweets. i think we had a very clear discussion. he is in favor of better position within nato. i agree with that. in order to have better border sharing, others do need more europe. i think it's a big mistake to be very direct with you. what i don't want to see is some european countries increasing their budget in defense in order to buy americans and other arms materials coming from your industry. if the object is to build our autonomy. >> french president emmanuel macron speaking there with f

i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from paris. today on the show, a global exclusive, an interview with the president of france, emanuel macron from his office in the palace. macron has spent the week traversing parts of his nation to komen e mcommemorate the 100 verse of world war i. this weekend he's gathered scores of world leaders including president trump to pay tribute with him. i talked to macron about his relationship with trump, about the great war and whether today there have also a danger of discord, miscalculation and, thus, tragic dip. about the rise of populism and how can he fighting it at home and abroad, and about his bold plan to make france great again. but first, here's my take. request c-- with confront willig bad news these days, many tend to think it's a bump on the road and things will work out. president obama said the ark of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice. yet could we be wrong in assuming that in spite some of backsliding here and an election there progress is inexer able? behi b

i'm fareed zakaria. world leaders have been meeting this weekend, but one leader has been noticeably absent from this year's apec summit, donald trump. why isn't he there? also, what in the world is going on with brexit? we'll tackle all of it with a terrific panel. >>> and the 2018 midterms are over sort of. now it's time to learn lessons and look ahead to 2020. the big question, should democrats zig left or zag towards the center? we'll have a debate. >> finally we'll put the art into artificial intelligence. can you pick out which of these paintings was panltinted by a robot? stay tuned to find out. first, here is my take. it's easy to get distracted by the trump presidency. what is the larger effect? take a look at three gatherings this week on the other side of the planet attended by all of the countries the summits in singapore are particularly important because countries in the region are trying to navigate the power shift taking place there, the rise of china. it is crucial they understand the ro

eastern cnn's fareed zakaria. only on cnn. >>> it was a week of celebration for nancy pelosi. even though her party now controls the house, is her future as speaker set in stone. her daughter will join us live here in the newsroom. don't go anywhere. we're voya! we stay with you to and through retirement. i get that voya is with me through retirement, i'm just surprised it means in my kitchen. so, that means no breakfast? voya. helping you to and through retirement. but how do i know if i'm i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. you don't need to go anywhere dad, this is your home. the best home to be in is your own. home instead offers personalized in-home services for your loved ones. home instead senior care. to us, it's personal. >> 102 women were electriced to the house. add to that number at least 23 women in the senate. call it what you want. some call i

i'm fareed zakaria, coming to you live from new york. today on the show, amidst anxiety and i think anger, dischord and distrust, americans will vote on tuesday. the president himself is not up for referendum but it is a reflex on his administration. >> a vote for david is a vote for me. a vote for steve is a vote for me. >> which way will it go. >> i have a great panel to talk about it. >>> also, brazil just elected a man who some have compared to donald trump: and angela merkel announced she will step aside in germany as right wing populism has gained ground there. we will take a look at the state of democracy around the world. >>> first here's my take. it is commonplace to share and read about president trump's takeover of the republican party. and suddenly there is lots of evidence that the gop is animated these days by an unquestioning devotion to trump and whatever his ideas may be at any given moment. but the problem for the republicans is that they are now becoming the party not of donald trump, but of joseph mccarthy. consider t

zakaria about earlier today was the importance of patriotism. that was love of country and seeing it within a collaborative international framework. the president has called himself a nationalist and he heard macron taking swipes at him and his rhetoric. are you surprise that had he hasn't even tweeted about that? i think he's saving it for when it gets home. the president was on this trip over the weekend but he was caught up in scandal and problems on the home front the scandal involving his newly appointed attorney general and all the actions concerning whitaker and for the president the reality of the house taking -- being taken by the democrats, the reality of the democrats taking control of the house that's starting to sink in. you can see he's in a foul mood, showing up late to events in photographs and not desiring to be there. i do think he'll end up responding, but at a time of his own choose, and frankly he'll do it when he can't be counterpunched when he's back in the u.s. and it's harder for others to respond. >> he was m.i.a. at a

they could never afford the expensive taxi fare to tel aviv. like zakaria, tens of thousands of palestinians are treated in israel every year. that means 30 to 60 trips every day for the road to recovery volunteers. the men chat half in arabic, half in hebrew, about their families, kids, everyday life. after the hour-long drive to tel aviv's sheba medical center, they say goodbye. another volunteer will take the two palestinians back to the west bank later. kajed: we avoid talking about politics during the drive, because i don't want to say anything bad about the israelis. i don't want to get him mad orr make him think that we palestinians don't appreciate what the organization is doing for us. but at the same time, i don't want to feel like i have to pay for the trip by praising israeli policies. so politics is taboo. reporter: nonetheless, they've gotten to know each other a little and chatted about life's worries. that's a lot given the current state of israeli-palestinian relations. but above all, after his treatment in israel, zakaria will
