| 0:00.0 | This is GPS, the Global Public Square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and around |
| 0:07.6 | the world. I'm Farid Zakaria. |
| 0:10.7 | Today on the show, Russia's meddling in American elections rears its ugly head again. The |
| 0:17.0 | coronavirus contagion continues in China and elsewhere. And in Afghanistan, the United |
| 0:22.8 | States could be close to a peace deal with the Taliban. |
