About this episode

This week Fareed hosts an all-star panel with David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, and Nina Khrushcheva, a professor of International Affairs at The New School.

They discuss how the recent insurrection may jeopardize Putin's grip on power, examining the fall of the USSR to understand the present moment in Russian domestic politics.

Then, Fareed sits down with Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley to talk about climate change; she says that wealthy countries and corporations who have contributed to the climate crisis must do their part to address the global consequences.

Plus, Kenyan President William Ruto talks with Fareed about his rise to power in Kenya and his country's stance on the war in Ukraine.
