Each episode also features Zakaria leading a panel discussion and interviewing a major world figure.
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore tells Fareed what he worries about regarding the November election and whether we can escape climate change catastrophe.

And what does the plot to kidnap Michigan's governor tell us about the rise of the far-right in the U.S. and around the world? Cynthia Miller-Idriss and Fareed discuss.
