About this episode

After half a year of war in Ukraine, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby tells CNN's Jim Sciutto that Putin shows no signs of backing down, while renewed shelling of a Russian-occupied nuclear plant in Ukraine has the world on edge. And, will the Iran nuclear deal be revived? Jim asks former U.S. Energy Secretary and nuclear physicist, Ernest Moniz. Then, Fareed asks Janette Sadik-Khan, New York City’s former transportation commissioner, whether a future of car-less cities is possible. Plus, Economist writer Callum Williams, on how automation will change the future of jobs. Finally, as the 25th anniversary of the death of princess Diana approaches, author Tina Brown joins Fareed to talk about her new book, "The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor—the Truth and the Turmoil."
