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.

International Rescue Committee president David Miliband and Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass join Fareed to discuss the diplomatic fallout of the Chinese spy balloon incident and how to navigate the political pitfalls of sending aid to Turkey and Syria after an earthquake devastated the region. Then CNN's Frederik Pleitgen and The Guardian's Shaun Walker explain the history of the Wagner Group and how Russia is using the mercenary outfit to help fight the war in Ukraine. Plus, Sue Mi Terry, former CIA analyst and current director of the Wilson Center's Asia Program, explains why North Korea's renewed emphasis on its nuclear program is worrying.
