The latest ceasefire proposal in the war in Gaza and why Hamas won’t accept it; What the West plans to do with $300 billion in frozen Russian assets; Bill Gates on his new nuclear reactor; How AI will revolutionize education

Today on the show, the UN Security Council approves the Biden-backed ceasefire proposal for the Israel-Hamas war. Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House, explains why Hamas isn’t accepting the plan. Next, the Financial Times’ Gillian Tett talks about the controversial move by Western nations this week to offer a $50 billion loan to Ukraine on the back of roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets. Then, Bill Gates broke ground this week on a new nuclear reactor in Wyoming. He joins the show to tell Fareed why he thinks that more investment in nuclear energy is crucial to combatting climate change. After that, Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy, discusses the positive role that AI can play in education. Finally, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has a controversial new plan to deal with immigration. He wants to send asylum seekers all the way to Rwanda. Fareed lays out the deal that the UK government has signed with the East African nation, and how the plan is playing out in the upcoming election.
