Former OpenAI Board Member Helen Toner

Twenty-five years after the September 11th attacks, Christiane looks back at the day that changed America and reshaped the world. Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Nicholas Burns reflects on the global solidarity that followed 9/11 and the wars and upheaval that came next. Then, as Israel faces growing international isolation over Gaza and the occupied West Bank, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert joins Christiane. In Yemen, CNN’s Nic Robertson gets rare access to an island at the heart of a battle with Iran-backed Houthis that could further threaten global oil supplies.

And from the Amanpour archives: in the extraordinary weeks after 9/11, Christiane reports from Kabul, where she and her team uncovered documents offering a glimpse inside the terror networks America had gone to war to defeat.
