Journalist and author Fareed Zakaria hosts this in-depth look at the major global developments of the week (the title's "GPS" stands for "Global Public Square"), with an emphasis on new ideas and innovative solutions to the world's toughest problems. Each episode also features Zakaria leading a panel discussion and interviewing a major world figure.
Fareed speaks to U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken about the American diplomatic plan for Israel and Gaza, the future of the Iran Nuclear Deal, and what he said when he met this week with his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Lavrov. Then, a panel considers the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with Peter Beinart, Noura Erakat, and Dan Senor. Plus, Zachary Karabell discusses his new book, Inside Money: Brown Brothers Harriman and the American Way of Power, about how business built America and what modern capitalism should look like. And lastly, as the Arctic region continues to defrost, creating a new political and economic horizon, Fareed examines Russia's intentions (and why they are worrying to the West).
