0:00.0	This is GPS, the Global Public Square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and
0:06.7	around the world. I'm Farid Zakaria coming to you live from New York. On this week's show,
0:14.9	it has been six months since many Americans left their schools, jobs, their leisure lives,
0:20.5	and shut themselves inside to escape the virus. Today around the world, many kids are back
0:27.2	at school. Economies are opening up at so-ar bars and restaurants. So are we starting to win the
0:35.4	war against the pandemic or have we not yet begun to fight it properly? I'll talk about that and the
0:43.6	rest of the top news from around the world with a great panel. And the best of the best practices
0:51.2	on COVID-19, Taiwan. With a population of almost 25 million people, how does it still have under
1:00.6	10 deaths? I'll talk to the man who masterminded the plan. Chen Jianren was not only the vice president,
1:08.8	he is an epidemiologist as well. Also, how to lead a crucial question for our time? We'll get

1:51.1	Then over the next few days, mail-in ballots will be counted and the numbers could shift in Joe Biden's
1:56.6	favor. But will Trump accept that outcome? Will America? First, an explanation of why this is the
2:04.0	most likely situation based on what we know now. Several surveys have found that because of the
2:10.6	pandemic, in-person and mail-in ballots will show a huge partisan divide. In a CNN poll, 87% of
2:19.0	Trump voters said they prefer to vote in person versus just 47% of Biden voters. In another
2:25.7	poll, by the Democratic data firm Hawkfish, only 19% of Trump voters plan to vote by mail,
2:32.0	while 69% of Biden voters said the same. The firm modeled various scenarios and found that based
