CNN Podcasts

Amanpour is CNN International's flagship global affairs interview program hosted by Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour.

Amanpour

As America prepares to turn 250, organisers had been hoping that the celebrations would bring the country together. The reality though is somewhat different, with many upset that President Trump appears to be making the nation's anniversary about himself. It comes as the Trump administration is continuing to attack America's diverse cultural heritage, and attempting to dictate how the country should view itself. Lonnie G. Bunch III is the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, a role which has often put him at loggerheads with President Trump. Bunch speaks to Christiane about reflecting on America's full and complex history ahead of its anniversary. 

Also on today's show: Dave Eggers, Author, "Contrapposto"; Jon Meacham, Executive Producer, "World War II with Tom Hanks"

Joining Christiane to discuss this is former NATO Deputy Secretary-General.

US-Ukraine Resume Talks to End Russia's War

Co-authors Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan are both journalists at The New York Times, and they join Christiane to discuss.

Haberman, Swan on 'Regime Change'

Two big wins and one big loss for President Trump as the US Supreme Court handed down some major rulings on the last day of its term. In a stinging rebuke, the president's attempt to gut birthright citizenship for millions in America was struck down in a 6-3 vote, invalidating an executive order Trump signed on his first day in office. The court upheld transgender sports bans, allowing states to bar transgender women and girls from playing on female sports teams, and the justices also lifted a Watergate-era cap on campaign spending. David J. Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, and Natasha Sarin, a professor at Yale Law School, join Bianna Golodryga to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Yaroslav Trofimov, Chief Foreign-Affairs Correspondent, The Wall Street Journal // Author, "Our Enemies Will Vanish"; Carlos Barragán, Author, “The Yahoo Boys”

THE CLOCK IS TICKING FOR THE US AND IRAN

Summer is officially underway, but in Russian-occupied Crimea, residents are facing fuel shortages, rolling blackouts and cancelled summer camps. It's all part of a new phase in Russia's war, as Ukraine expands its campaign into the invader's heartland. Now the Wall Street Journal reports the Kremlin is pressuring Belarus to open another front as Russia struggles on the battlefield. Joining the show to discuss this is WSJ chief European political correspondent Bojan Pancevski, whose new book, "The Nord Stream Conspiracy," reveals the inside story about one of the most consequential acts of sabotage in recent history, and the secret team most likely behind it. 

Also on today's show: Wafa Mustafa & Waad Al-Kateab, co-directors, "Maybe Tomorrow"; Cal Newport, Professor of Computer Science, Georgetown University / Host, "Deep Questions" podcast

Ukraine's Strategy Paying Off

It's a race against time in Venezuela, where rescue teams are frantically searching for survivors after two back-to-back earthquakes, some of the strongest ever recorded in the country. At least 164 people have been killed, according to acting President Delcy Rodriguez, but that number is expected to rise as crews reach hard-hit areas and the full scale of the devastation becomes clear. The heaviest damage appears to be centred in and around the capital Caracas, where people have been heard calling for help, as Mary Triny Mena reports. 

Also on today's show: former US Secretary of State John Kerry; Beeban Kidron, author, "Users"; Michael Scherer, staff writer, The Atlantic
