Summary

CNN correspondent Matthew Chance joins the show live from Moscow this week to share an update from Russia in the wake of the armed insurrection. Then, Fareed hosts an all-star panel with The Atlantic's Anne Applebaum and Masha Gessen of the New Yorker for analysis of the situation unfolding in Russia. They talk about what led to the fracture between Putin and Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, as well as what impact the rebellion may have on the war in Ukraine. Plus, Fareed sits down with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss how to get the world’s wealthy countries to pay to fix global problems – like climate change and extreme poverty. They also speak about Macron's vision for an autonomous Europe – not tied to the U.S. or China.
