from Fareed Zakaria GPS · host CNN Podcasts

President Biden and President Putin met for the first time this week in Geneva and Fareed asks Andrey Kortunov, director general of the Russian International Affairs Council, about the state of U.S.-Russian relations and how cyberattacks are impacting the relationship. A low turnout election in Iran has secured a presidential win for hardliner Ebrahim Raisi. Robin Wright, contributing writer at The New Yorker, and Vali Nasr, Professor at Johns Hopkins University, explain who Raisi is and what his presidency will mean for Iran. Then, an exclusive interview with Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen about the future of Afghanistan after American and allied troops pull out of the country. Plus, anthropologist-turned-journalist Gillian Tett on her new book “Anthro-Vision,” where she lays out how important rituals and symbols are to human culture and why it’s good to embrace a bit of culture shock. Lastly, Fareed explains why a carbon tax can be the first big step in the fight against climate change.     GUESTS: Andrey Kortunov, Robin Wright, Vali Nasr, Suhail Shaheen, Gillian Tett To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
