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

Amanpour

The Supreme Court blocked President Trump's efforts to restrict mail-in ballots less than two months before the November mid-term elections. It's a ruling that has potentially saved a third of American voters from being disenfranchised. Staff writer for the Atlantic Toluse Olorunnipa and President of the Brennan Center Michael Waldman join the program to discuss the SCOTUS ruling. 

Also on today's show: Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor, co-authors, "End Times Fascism"; Rana Foroohar, Associate Editor, Financial Times

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. Plus, as warnings grow about the risks posed by artificial intelligence and the enormous data centers powering it, Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson tells Christiane why communities are pushing back. 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.

Remembering 9/11

Britain, France and Canada have announced sweeping sanctions on trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The British Foreign Secretary accused Israeli settlers of "ethnic cleansing" against the Palestinians living there. Israel responded by ordering the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem. The U.S. has yet to push back against the sanctions. The U.N. says settler violence has reached unprecedented levels and this summer, dozens of prominent figures in Israel signed a letter demanding action to 'eradicate Jewish terrorism' in the West Bank. Among them was former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. He joins the program from Tel Aviv.

Israeli Settlers Accused of 'Ethnic Cleansing'

25 years ago this week, America and the world changed forever. The 9/11 attacks shocked people everywhere, and prompted an outpouring of global sympathy, with NATO for the first and only time in its history invoking Article 5, that an attack on one is an attack on all. Today, America's standing appears very different. Nicholas Burns has held many senior positions within the US government, most recently as US Ambassador to China. On September 11 2001, he was America's Ambassador to NATO when Article 5 was first invoked. 

Also on today's show: Peter Ricketts, UK Government’s Special Envoy for the historic loan of the Bayeux Tapestry; David Cohen, former US Ambassador to Canada

Former US Ambassador to NATO Nicholas Burns

The funeral of war criminal Ratko Mladić shocked European officials and cast doubt over Serbia's bid for EU membership. Tens of thousands of mourners gathered to honor the "Butcher of Bosnia," as the former Serb commander was buried with military honors. EU President Ursula von der Leyen called images from the funeral "shocking," and EU Enlargement Chief Marta Kos canceled a planned visit to Serbia in protest. Kos joins the show from Brussels. 

Also on today's show: Julian Borger, Senior International Correspondent, The Guardian; Utah Governor Spencer Cox

Germany Makes Far-Right Turn

Russia is bombarding Europe with so-called "grey attacks" - what might President Putin do next? Christiane asks Czech President, and former NATO General, Petr Pavel, who has been sounding the alarm bells for months. Then, a tribute to an extraordinary and full life. As Gloria Steinem dies at 92, Christiane revisits her conversations with the great feminist activist, who fought for women everywhere. Plus, after Nepal's catastrophic glacial meltdown, a special report on the ongoing search for the living, and the dead. Also on the program, an intriguing new documentary, ‘An Eye For An Eye’, about an Iranian woman who killed her husband after years of abuse—and must pay his family for forgiveness, or face execution. Then, as we mark 35 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, we look to Christiane’s archive with a piece detailing how the economic shock of the breakup hit Russians in their Vodka.

Is Russia Waging A "Hybrid War" Against Europe?

One of Donald Trump's main biographers, Maggie Haberman, says the US president's superpower is his "shamelessness." It's something he likely learned from his mentor, the notorious lawyer and fixer Roy Cohn. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kai Bird's latest book, "American Scoundrel," takes a close look at Cohn and how his influence can still be seen on American politics today. 

Also on today's show: Director Tanaz Eshaghian, "An Eye for an Eye"; author Wilbert Cooper, "The Black Shield"
