Read this email in your browser Welcome to This Week. On Thursday, May 20, at 11 a.m. EDT, FP reporters Jack Detsch and Robbie Gramer will take an inside look at the Biden administration's plans to confront China globally, from Pentagon budget wars to what a superpower on the move means for the Middle East. In a free-flowing conversation moderated by FP executive editor Amelia Lester, Jack and Robbie will also answer audience questions and share some exclusive nuggets from their reporter’s notebooks. Please click here to register for FP’s inaugural SitRep call.  Next, as world leaders race to vaccinate their populations against COVID-19, they face a formidable obstacle: misinformation. False claims about vaccines are proliferating around the world, exploiting gaps in education, fears over ethnic and racial divides, and a lack of trust in government. Join FP on May 25 at 11 a.m. EDT for a critical discussion moderated by FP editor in chief Ravi Agrawal about how to understand, and overcome, the epidemic of misinformation getting in the way of the world’s COVID-19 response. Lastly, join us on May 26 for a virtual dialogue on the growing importance of satellite technologies in volatile environments where lack of infrastructure can limit intelligence gathering and situational awareness. Experts will illuminate how satellite imagery is enabling early detection of unrest or other destabilizing events that may put critical infrastructure, assets, or local populations at risk.
