US: From June 17 on the BBC, What the World Thinks of America:
Hosted from the Cabinet War Rooms in London, the programme boasted a panel of quality thinkers, movers and shakers, including former cabinet minister Clare Short, US journalist Joe Klein and former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto — a seldom convened brains trust of world views on America’s pre-eminence.
The entire program is available on streaming video, along with a response piece and a discussion forum.
There are some good ideas, although the program itself seems too, well, American. The focus keeps skipping around from poll results to talking heads to correspondents to, well, you get the idea.
