This is gps, the Global Public square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and Around The World. Im Fareed Zakaria coming to you from new york. Today on the program, the knesset votes to take away a key power of israels Supreme Court, and as Benjamin Netanyahu urges calm, the nations Political Center and left erupt in anger. Ill talk to the New York Times Paul Friedman about the politics involved and with his colleague Emily Bazilon about the legal issues. Then the secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on the good news and the bad news from americas Southern Border. Finally, did President Putin lose or gain power after prigozhins failed mutiny . Ill ask russian journalist in exile mikhail zigov. But first heres my take. The mysterious disappearance of chinas Foreign Minister qin gang is a timely reminder that the future of u. S. China relations will be determined not just by american policy and whats happening domestically in the United States such as the president i
India in the himalayas, demanded that australia cease any criticism of his country. pledged his country s unqualified support for moscow and even as russia s aggression in ukraine escalates, and he has ramped up criticism of the united states. none of these policies seem to be working. countries around china have become far more active in countering beijing s influence and searching for assistance elsewhere especially with america. from japan to the philippines to india, nations are pushing back. will beijing recognize this and change? is an increasingly autocratic and closed decision making system capable of learning and adapting? qin gang s mysterious removal does not suggest a positive answer. go to cnn.com/fareed for a link to my washington post column this week and let s get started.
