On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:

First, Fareed gives his Take on the US decision to reimpose sanctions on Iran – and how it might have some unintended long-term consequences.
 
Next, Tuesday saw the final special election before November's midterms. How are perceptions of the Trump administration's foreign policy likely to shape voters' views? What do Trump's positions on Russia, tariffs and immigration say about the future of the Republican Party – and the country? Joining Fareed to discuss these issues and more are Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of "A World in Disarray:  American Foreign Policy and the Crisis of the Old Order," Ross Douthat, an op-ed columnist for The New York Times and the author of "To Change the Church: Pope Francis and the Future of Catholicism," and Gloria Borger, CNN's chief political analyst.

Also on the show: Fareed is joined by Tim Harford, Undercover Economist columnist at the Financial Times. How have the gramophone and the elevator, among other inventions, changed our world? Harford discusses his recent book "Fifty Inventions That Shaped the Modern Economy."
 
Plus: This weekend marked the anniversary of the white supremacist marches in Charlottesville. Fareed is joined by Jon Meacham, author of "The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels," to discuss what history tells us about how America might weather the current divisiveness.

And: Fareed is joined by Joanne Lipman, former editor-in-chief of USA Today, to discuss her new book, "That's What She Said: What Men Need to Know (and Women Need to Tell Them) About Working Together."
