View this email in your browser Insights, analysis and must reads from CNN's Fareed Zakaria and the Global Public Square team, compiled by Global Briefing editor Jason Miks. August 5, 2018 On Today's Show On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN: First, Fareed gives his take on the Trump administration's policy on Afghanistan – why it might be on the right path, and why that path is such a difficult one to navigate. Next, President Trump last month renewed his call for funding for his border wall, tweeting he would be willing to shut down the government and warning about crime in Mexico. Fareed is joined by Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray to discuss the President's comments, whether there is any chance that Mexico would pay for the wall, and the future of US-Mexico ties. Also on the show: President Trump said this week he would be willing to meet with Iran's leadership. What do Iranians make of the offer? How are Iran's leaders responding to growing economic pressure? Fareed is joined by Thomas Erdbrink, Tehran bureau chief for The New York Times, to discuss this and more. Plus: American unemployment is way down, but there are still millions of people in the United States who would like a job but don't have one. Fareed is joined by Stephanie Kelton, an economic advisor for Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign, about the potential for a "job guarantee" plan. And: Fareed is joined by Annette Insdorf, director of undergraduate film studies at Columbia University and the author of "Cinematic Overtures: How to Read Opening Scenes," to discuss the importance of opening scenes in movies.   Take This Week's GPS Challenge How many Catholics are there around the world?
