Un Sec-Gen: Without Trust, Catastrophe Awaits | António Guterres | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

António Guterres, the United Nations Secretary-General, does not mince words when it comes to the dire state of the world. "We are standing at the edge of an abyss," Guterres warns.

And yet, there is still hope. In a frank (and in-person!)
