On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his Take on the "startling" developments in Saudi Arabia – and what it says about the spread of the strongman playbook.
"A country famous for its stability to the point of stagnation is watching a 32-year-old crown prince arrest his relatives, freeze their bank accounts and dismiss them from key posts. But on closer examination, it shouldn't be that surprising," Fareed says. "Mohammed bin Salman is now applying to Saudi Arabia what has become the new standard operating procedure for strongmen around the world."
Then, Fareed hosts a live panel to discuss President Trump's 5-nation trip to Asia. Joining Fareed will be Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and author of "A World in Disarray," NPR international correspondent Elise Hu, and Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and author of "Superpower: Three Choices for America's Role in the World."
Plus: Fareed speaks with Ali Shihabi, founder and executive director of the Arabia Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, about the recent developments in Saudi Arabia.
Also on the show: Fareed speaks exclusively with Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, who was in the United States this week to meet with Vice President Mike Pence. What is behind the current U.S.-Turkey tensions? Did Turkey expect the Trump administration to extradite Fethullah Gulen? And what would he say to regime critics who point to growing challenges facing the media? Fareed discusses these issues and more with Yildirim.
