On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed explains why Kim Jong Un is the world leader he most wants to interview – and what he would ask him.
"The general impression around the world continues to be that the North Korean leader is crazy, provocative and unpredictable," Fareed says. "But I wonder, he might well be strategic, smart and utterly rational. Since I am unlikely to get that interview, I have decided to imagine it instead."
Then: It has been a busy couple of weeks in world affairs, from North Korea to Myanmar to Iran and more. Fareed hosts a panel to discuss some of the latest developments. Joining him are Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator magazine, Anne Applebaum, a Washington Post columnist and author of the upcoming book "Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine," and Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator for The Financial Times.

Also on the show, Hurricanes Harvey and Irma reignited discussions over climate change – and the science underpinning it. But how should we respond to those who question the scientific consensus not just on this, but other issues, too? Fareed sits down with Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York, and author of "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry."

Plus: Fareed digs more deeply into the issue of climate change with Katharine Hayhoe, director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech.
"We care about a changing climate because it exacerbates, it amplifies the naturally occurring weather and climate risks that we already see in the places where we live," Hayhoe says. "It's amping up our heat waves, our wildfires, our droughts, and even our hurricanes."
