Is Boris Johnson the most colorful mayor in the world?

July 25th, 2013

By Mick Krever, CNN

Boris Johnson may be the most colorful mayor in the world.

Known for his wit – and sometimes gaffes – the top man in London sports a floppy blonde mop of uncombed hair.

When he wants to promote the bike share system nicknamed after him – Boris Bikes – he rides them up to strangers in shopping malls.

When he wants to promote the Olympics, he ziplines in full suit, waving a tiny Union Jack in each hand. The fact that he got stuck twenty feet off the ground halfway down was just “the only piece of transport infrastructure that seriously malfunctioned” during the Games, he says.

“I'm deliriously happy,” Johnson told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour at his office overlooking the Thames and Tower Bridge on Monday. “I'm deliriously happy and lucky to be mayor of London.”

In his first international trip, Pope Francis has travelled to Brazil, a country wracked in recent weeks by massive street protests.

So is the pontiff, with his message of social change and revival within the church, endorsing the activism of Brazilian youth?

“The core message that he's trying to deliver to young people on this trip is that he wants young people to see themselves as inserted into the struggles of society,” CNN Senior Vatican Analyst John Allen told Christiane Amanpour from Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday.

Barriers to Israel peace less now, says President Carter

July 24th, 2013

By Mick Krever, Claire Calzonetti & Juliet Fuisz, CNN

The differences to bridge for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians are not as great now as they were between Israel and Egypt during the groundbreaking Camp David accords, Former President Jimmy Carter told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday.

“The differences between the two are not nearly so great as they were then,” Carter said, “if Israel will still accept, which they did in 1978 and ‘79, that the acquisition of territory by force is not legal.”

President Carter’s efforts as president led to the groundbreaking first-ever peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, known as the Camp David Accords.

Direct negotiations between Israel and another neighbor, the Palestinians, now look more real than they have in years, thanks to the work of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

President Carter – as a member of The Elders, a group of distinguished former presidents, veteran diplomats, and other leaders founded by Nelson Mandela – is using his years of experience to try to solve some of the world’s toughest problems.

He spoke with Amanpour in London along with fellow-Elder Lakhdar Brahimi, the longtime diplomat who is currently the joint UN-Arab League envoy to Syria.

Brahimi told Amanpour that one of the toughest issues to be worked out in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, the right of Palestinians to return to their erstwhile homes now in Israeli territory, may not actually be as difficult as it is made out to be.

Longtime peacemakers reflect on Mandela’s legacy

July 24th, 2013
02:32 PM ET

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and longtime diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi are uniquely qualified to reflect on the legacy of Nelson Mandela.

Not only are they lifelong peacemakers with decades of experience each, but they are a members of The Elders, the organization of former heads of state and leaders founded by Mandela himself.

“He not only was a good in being theoretically wonderful,” President Carter told Amanpour on Wednesday, “but he also brought wonderful new life to his own people.”

Brahimi, who is currently the U.N. and Arab League envoy to Syria, reflected on the iconic speech given by Mandela when he was released from prison.

“To make that speech,” Brahimi said, “in which he reached out to the people who, who were keeping him under their feet for 27 years, is hugely inspiring.”
