Episode 33
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.
After a significant escalation of tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, guest anchor Bianna Golodryga speaks with Amos Harel from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and vice president of the foreign policy program at the Brookings Institution Suzanne Maloney about the fighting as well as the latest rounds of ceasefire and hostage negotiations in Cairo. Then, Michael Kofman from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace joins Bianna to discuss Ukraine's on-going incursion into Russia's Kursk region and whether Kyiv's offensive has shifted the dynamics of the wider war. Next, the Financial Times' Edward Luce speaks with Bianna about this week's star-studded Democratic National Convention and how Harris appears to be positioning herself for the final months of the race. Finally, Steve Coll, dean emeritus of the Columbia Journalism School, joined Fareed to discuss his new book "The Achilles Trap," in which he digs through recordings of secret conversations between Saddam Hussein and his inner circle.
