Episode 30

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.

U.S.-China relations have stooped to new lows. What will it take for relations to warm again? Also, what does the world make of America's Covid-19 response? Fareed discusses with former President of World Bank Bob Zoellick, CEO of New Amerca Anne-Marie Slaughter, and Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani. Then, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum tells Fareed about the "seductive lure of authoritarianism" and just how much the U.S. is straying from its democratic roots. Finally, how is the developing world fairing against the pandemic and how might it rebound back to the developed world? The International Rescue Committee's David Miliband tells Fareed.
