Iran agrees to a framework for an historic nuclear deal, but questions over details remain. Al-Shabaab militants gun down 147 people at a university in Kenya. Rebels in Yemen advance on the port city of Aden despite airstrikes from a Saudi-led coalition. New evidence suggests the pilot of the Germanwings plane accelerated during descent. The Iraqi government declares victory over ISIS in its battle to take back Tikrit. And in Nigeria, a former general is elected president in the country’s first peaceful transfer of power. Moisés Naím joins Diane Rehm for analysis of the week’s top international news stories.

    The Spring and Autumn of Chinese Politics

    China’s political future will be shaped between now and next October. As the Communist Party enters its intense “campaign season” to prepare for a major political transition in 2027, reading Beijing's actions and responses may become more difficult as domestic politics weigh on its behavior more than usual.

    China Sells Stability Amid American Volatility

    U.S. unpredictability has allowed China to capitalize on its positioning as the “responsible great power”. Paradoxically, the more China wins the perception game, the more likely expectations will rise for Beijing to deliver not just words but to demonstrate with its deeds.
