World sliding towards anarchy - Kevin Rudd

From Morning Report, 7:44 am on 5 June 2020

A former Australian Prime Minister is warning the world is sliding towards anarchy as the United States abandons its global leadership position in the Covid-19 crisis.

Kevin Rudd made the comments in an episode of the RNZ podcast After the Virus, looking at the politics of the pandemic and shifts in global power.

He appeared alongside CNN international anchor Christianne Amanpour who singled out New Zealand as having a world leading response to the virus.

The podcast is hosted by RNZ's Guyon Espiner, who filed this report.
