this is gps, the global public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i m fareed zakaria. today on the program, president putin s most formidable political rival was locked up two years ago. but alexi navalny still has a voice, his message carried on by his inner circle, one that inspires russia s opposition movement. i have an exclusive interview with his daughter, dasha, on the state of her father and his mission to bring democracy to russia. and what might befall the world in 2023? ian bremmer will lay out the biggest political risk of the new year. the biggest risk is putin, acting as the most powerful rogue state that we have ever dealt with in his story. and rucihr sharma will give the economic outlook. but first, here is my take. it was hard not to be fixated on the drama that unfolded in the house of representatives this week, when the republican party had a nervous breakdown in full public view. this crisis was entirely of th
we ll also bring you my conversations with other world leaders at davos. first, sanna marin, the prime minister of finland. her nation shares an 830-mile long border with russia, and is waiting to be granted nato membership. then, kyriakos mitsotakis, the prime minister of greece. a nation once seen as the sixth man of europe. the current state of greece s economy may well surprise you. but first, here s my take. davos was back with a bang. after a skinny spring version of the event last may, this rweek, the conference was packed with attendees trying to learn more about the world in 2023. it s not a bad place to try. davos is the only truly global conference that i ve attended. in one day, you can meet with chinese officials, american ceos, ukrainian human rights activists and middle eastern entrepreneurs. in fact, i did. every year, some country or trend is surrounded by buzz. this year there were three. the gulf states, india, and artificial intelligence. saudi arabia an

let me be the first to tell you that there is finally a new speaker of the house, and the 118 congress has officially been convened. it took four days, and 15 tries, but in the early hours of this morning, the california congressman, kevin mccarthy, was finally elected the new speaker, putting him third in line for the presidency of the united states. it was a tough road getting there, especially last night, when tensions between republican members themselves, almost reached a breaking point. from the house reconvened at 10 pm last night, republicans appeared hopeful that they had votes to elect mccarthy on the 14th ballot, but when that seem headed for baylor, mccarthy s allied huddled around the florida congressman, matt gates, to get him to vote for mccarthy. instead, gates voted present, which is not good enough to win mccarthy in speakership. after the roll call, mccarthy himself approached gates, the two exchanged words amid a group of other lawmakers. mccarthy was the
