Listen on

Episode notes

While Italy and Spain hover near 250,000 Covid cases, Greece has only had 3,000. What did it do right? Fareed talks to the Greek Prime Minister. Then, America’s grim exceptionalism - in policing. Rates of fatal shootings by American police are almost 70x those in the UK and more than 20x those in Germany. What makes American policing different? Also, is American policing systemically racist? Fareed explores the question with a professor whose work is studying such issues. Finally, the view from abroad: America's adversaries are celebrating its unrest. What will become of U.S. soft power? Guardian columnist Natalie Nougayrède and FutureMap founder Parag Khanna discuss. 

GUESTS: Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Rosa Brooks, Paul Hirschfield, Phillip Atiba Goff, Natalie Nougayrède, Parag Khanna.
