CNN has been providing a lot of advice for President Obama, and with all of the problems around the globe there are a lot of issues to discuss but also a lot of hope for the future. Some of the clips that have run since the Inauguration...
Wednesday we had Phil Black in London, David McKenzie in Nairobi, and Jim Bittermann in Paris:
Cal Perry with a look at a fascinating class being taught in Beirut, where students come in for two weeks and speak with the people making policy in the region -- US diplomats, leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah, even Iran:
And what of Iraq? Arwa Damon reports on what officials are saying in Baghdad:
We also had Reza Sayah in Islamabad with a look at the complex situation there:
Reza's report led into a discussion between Tony Harris (in Atlanta) and Christiane Amanpour (in New York):
Campbell Brown talks to Fareed Zakaria and Christiane Amanpour about what the most important priority is for the new administration:
Thursday morning, Morgan Neill reported on the news that Fidel Castro had watched the inauguration:

Where in the World...?
