GEOFF BENNETT: We have exciting news# about the future of PBS News and two## new programs you can watch here on PBS# and on YouTube and listen to as podcasts.

These are two original productions that expand# the depth and reach of our journalism.

"Horizons## From PBS News" hosted by William Brangham will# explore the forces shaping our daily lives, from## environment and health to science and technology.# Each episode features in-depth conversations with## leading experts and innovators, bringing clarity# to the breakthroughs and challenges ahead.

AMNA NAWAZ: And "Compass Points From PBS# News" hosted by foreign affairs and defense## correspondent Nick Schifrin will examine# America's place in a rapidly changing world,## unpacking global events and# what they mean here at home.

These new programs are the result of a reworking# of our resources, a commitment to meet this moment## by investing in fresh reporting and new formats,# even after difficult federal funding cuts.

And William and Nick are here with us now to# tell us about this weekend's debut programs.

Welcome to you both.

William, let's start with you.

Your debut this weekend focuses on a big issue in the headlines right now, ultra-processed foods.

Tell us about that.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: That's right.

Ultra-processed food.. such shockingly high rates of chronic diseases,# hypertension, diabetes, obesity.

And so we wanted## to do a program that looked at, why is it that we# have built a food system that makes us so sick?

Now, we know the MAHA movement headed by RFK# Jr.

has proposed solutions to that problem,## and so we wanted to examine, what# are they proposing and what would## it take to really make America healthier again?

One of the people that we spoke# to is Ashley Gearhardt.

She is## at University of Michigan she# studies food and addiction.

And, in this clip, this is her# describing the kind of design## that goes into food products by these# -- some of these big food companies.

ASHLEY GEARHARDT, University of Michigan: Many# of the products that we see in the grocery store,## although we call them food, actually resemble much# more of something like a cigarette or an alcoholic## beverage on their impact on the reward centers# of the brain than they do a fruit or a vegetable.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: In that they are designed# to not just be nutritious and filling,## but they're designed for other purposes.

ASHLEY GEARHARDT: Absolutely.

I read# a lot of food industry trade letters,## and some of the things they talk about# is turning cravings into corporate wins.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Cravings.

ASHLEY GEARHARDT: Cravings.. GEOFF BENNETT: And Nick, there has# been no shortage of international## news this.

Week what can we# expect from "Compass Points"?

NICK SCHIFRIN: Yes, Geoff, I mean, you# and I talk about all the time, right,## the global order is changing# rapidly right before our eyes.

And we don't really know how it's going# to end, but there is a lot going on.

So,## every week on "Compass Points," we're going# to try and give some direction, if you will,## to a rapidly changing world.

And we're going to# turn to experts who will have an all-encompassing## look, if you will, at one critical issue# and how it affects Americans at home.

So, this week, it's Trump on the world# stage, Trump the disrupter, as I put it,## for this episode.

And we have got three# fantastic guests this week who I think## reflect not only the debate in Washington,# but also within the administration itself,## Victoria Coates of The Heritage Foundation, who# helps us understand the president's perspective,## Kori Schake, a former national security official# who represents a more traditional foreign policy,## and Jennifer Kavanagh of the think tank Defense# Priorities, who advocates for restraint.

JENNIFER KAVANAGH, Defense# Priorities: There are other## limits on American power.# .. One of the big reasons that the United States# did not take action in the Middle East this## week is because it doesn't have the assets# in the region.

And why not?

Because they're## in Latin America.

So already we're seeing# that there are limits to American power.

And those limits will only become more pronounced# when we start talking about more serious threats,## for example, Russia and China.

Hitting adversaries## that can't hit back isn't hard.

It# doesn't show that we're powerful.
