This week Fareed hosts the show from Davos, Switzerland, the site of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting.

Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan al Saud joins Fareed to discuss the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, how to de-escalate the conflict in the Middle East and what it would take for Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel.

Next, Fareed interviews Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on stage at Davos to ask whether Iran is trying to expand the Middle East conflict beyond Israel and Gaza.

Fareed talks to the Ukrainian foreign minister about what his country’s most urgent needs are. Then, Fareed hears from two Ukrainian soldiers on why this war is so critical - for Ukraine and the world.

Finally, Fareed speaks to Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and conservationist, about the lessons she learned from living with chimpanzees and her on-going fight to protect the natural world.
