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

Amanpour

Senator Lindsey Graham, an emblematic figure of the Republican party, passed away on Saturday at the age of 71. Once a critic of Donald Trump, he turned into one of the president's strongest allies, and also strongly backed the US-Israeli war with Iran. Former GOP Senator Jeff Flake used to work alongside Graham but had significantly different views on President Trump. He joins the show to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Rose Horowitch, staff writer, The Atlantic; domestic violence prevention advocate Doreen Dodgen-Magee

Fellow Senator Flake Remembers Lindsey Graham

At the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump declares “love and unity” with allies, and Europe signals it is taking more responsibility for its own defense. Christiane speaks with former US Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith about what the summit revealed and growing uncertainty around the fragile Iran truce. Then, Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III responds to White House broadsides accusing the institution of having a “radical, activist ideology.” Will Ripley reports from Taiwan on China’s striking mock-up of a U.S. warship in the Xinjiang desert. Former British Prime Minister Theresa May joins Christiane to discuss CNN’s new documentary The Salisbury Poisonings: A Spy Next Door about the Novichok attack in England in 2018, and they discuss the threat Russia still poses to the West. From the archives, Christiane looks back at Beirut in 1993, a city emerging from civil war and still symbolic of Lebanon’s repeated cycle of destruction and rebirth. And finally, Spain’s Running of the Bulls festivities explode across Pamplona, 100 years since Ernest Hemingway immortalized them in The Sun Also Rises.

The Latest on Russia's War Against Ukraine

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"
