Paula Hancocks joins the show to discuss.

A Veteran Diplomat's Take on Gaza Peace Talks

The streets of Washington, DC will soon be patrolled by 800 National Guard troops, the city's police will be under federal control for the first time in their history, and homeless people will be forced to leave. According to President Trump, it's all necessary to tackle a purported wave of lawlessness. And while crime is certainly a problem in the capital, Trump's description of a public safety emergency told a slightly different story than the statistics. There's actually been a decrease in crime, with violent crime at a 30-year low. With Trump hinting that Washington is just the first city to face these measures, what does this say about his exertion of executive power? Andrew McCabe was the acting FBI Director in the first Trump administration, he joins the program to discuss.

MAGA's Negative Impact on the Climate

The presidents of Russia and the United States will soon meet face to face, a big coup for Putin, who has been boycotted by Western leaders since invading Ukraine.

Trump has long believed in the power of his own personal ability to strike deals, but many are skeptical about Moscow's intentions, including Ukraine's President Zelensky. Mikhail Zygar is a Russian journalist who has been forced to live in exile since the 2022 invasion, and he joins Christiane from New York.

Immigration lawyer Sui Ching and NPR correspondent Jasmine Garsd discuss the implications of all these recent developments.
