Specials, Season 1

While America was once tops in education, we are now ranked 15th in reading, 23rd in science, and 31st in math. What happened? How can we dig ourselves out of this deep hole?? We travel to South Korea and Finland to bring back lessons for the United States.

America's health care system is broken. Our healthy life expectancy, the standard measurement, ranks only 29th in the world - behind Slovenia. Our infant mortality rate ranks 30th - more than twice that of Sweden and Japan. Can it be fixed? How?? We travel to Switzerland, the UK and Taiwan - all are trying different ways to keep their citizens healthy. And we bring back lessons that we can apply right back here in America.

America is a melting pot. It is the land of immigrants and of opportunity. But for more and more people who aspire to live and work here, the U.S. border is closed these days. The question is: how do we draw-up a rational immigration policy - one that makes sense for the would-be immigrants and one that, more importantly, makes sense for our country? GPS goes around the world - to Canada, Japan and Germany - to find the best (and the worst) immigration policies...and to figure out what we can learn from them.

The latest special from Fareed Zakaria GPS "Global Lessons: Putting America to Work" takes an outside-in look at America's unemployment crisis. What are the best ideas that other countries are using to get people employed and keep them employed? We travel around the world and back to the U.S for answers.

How can American power itself going forward - in a way that is gentler to the environment, cheaper, better? GPS goes around the world and back to the U.S.A. to look for the best energy solutions for the future.

What does President Obama need to do in his second term - to break the gridlock in DC? To set the American economy on a sustainable path? To handle the foreign policy crises popping up all over the globe? Fareed Zakaria assembles top statesmen and stateswomen to offer their advice to the President - from Republicans like James Baker, to Democrats like Robert Rubin and Independents like Michael Bloomberg. And then Fareed offers his own "Memo to the President".

Beyond the Manhunts explores current domestic and international terror threats to the homeland, the use of drones and enhanced interrogation in intelligence collection, and the role of women agents in counterintelligence. Zakaria also discusses insights into the hunt for bin Laden, and gathers broad perspectives on how U.S. intelligence agencies have slowly evolved to take on some activities associated with the U.S. Military. Author and national security analyst Peter Bergen, former National Security Agency director Michael Hayden, Pulitzer Prize-winning national security journalist Mark Mazzetti, former CIA director and U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former FBI agent Ali Soufan, and former CIA officers Nada Bakos, Robert Grenier, and Cindy Storer discuss how America's clandestine operations detect the dangers and try to stop them - and what does and doesn't to be working.

The GPS team goes around the world to get global lesson on guns and how to make America safer - from practically gun-free Japan to gun-loving Switzerland, from Australia which enacted tough legislation after a gun massacre to Colombia where a former gun criminal turned politician entered into an interest experiment on guns in public places. Then back to the U.S. for what the U.S. military learned about guns and suicides.
