CNN
About this episode

Guest anchor Bianna Golodryga talks to Ian Bremmer, Eurasia Group president, and Anne Applebaum, staff writer for The Atlantic, about Biden's first in-person meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and what it means for the world's two largest economies, plus how the world views the U.S. midterm results. Then, Dara Massicot, a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, discusses Russia’s withdrawal from the Ukrainian city of Kherson. How significant is this Ukrainian victory? And after Benjamin Netanyahu received the mandate to try and build the next coalition government in Israel, Anshel Pfeffer, a Jerusalem-based writer for Haaretz and The Economist, examines the likely result: will it end up being Israel’s most right-wing government ever? Plus, Bill Weir, CNN’s Chief Climate Correspondent, on what was (and wasn’t) accomplished at the UN’s climate conference.
