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

Amanpour

A push for peace is underway in Egypt, where key negotiators from Israel, Hamas and the United States are looking to reach an agreement on President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the war. Trump says they're "very close" to reaching a deal, but huge obstacles remain such as the demand for Hamas to disarm and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's views on Palestinian statehood. Israeli journalist Nahum Barnea joins the show from Tel Aviv to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Rachid El Khalfi, Spokesperson, Moroccan Ministry of Interior; Susan Glasser, Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Adam Serwer, Staff Writer, The Atlantic

The Push For Mideast Peace

From abroad, the chaos in Washington resonates far and wide, as the U.S. government shuts down, with Democrats going to the mat for American's healthcare. Just as the shutdown took place, Christiane spoke with Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen who has worked towards bipartisan consensus for more than thirty years but also believes it's time to mount an effective opposition to some of Trump's policies. Then, director Benny Safdie talks to Christiane about making his new film, "The Smashing Machine," dealing with loss and transforming Dwayne Johnson, aka "The Rock," into a mixed martial artist. Plus, another blow for Afghanistan's women after the internet was shut down in the country for days. Amanda Davies has a special report on the exiled girls fighting for freedom through football. And, defying bombs and presidential warnings to break the news, former CNN chief, Tom Johnson speaks to Christian about his new book, "Driven," dealing with depression and how he led CNN through a golden age despite a nightmarish job interview with Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. Then, after a total and sudden internet blackout by the Taliban in Afghanistan this week, from her archives, shortly after 9/11, when the U.S. and its allies sent the Taliban and Al-Qaeda packing, Christiane's 2001 report about what it was like when TV and satellite were finally brought back. And finally, remembering the remarkable life of primatologist Jane Goodall, Christiane revisits her conversation with the woman who changed our understanding of the world. Air date: October 4th, 2025 Guests:

From Washington's Shutdown to Afghanistan's Internet Blackout

For years, Washington and Beijing have gone head-to-head for economic, military and technological superiority. At the United Nations General Assembly, China sent a clear message that it was ready to step in as the world's superpower - making pledges on everything from trade to climate. As US Ambassador to Beijing, Nicholas Burns witnessed China's push for power up close - from cyber attacks on America to designs on Taiwan, and he joins the show from New York to explain what he saw and what's ahead. 

Also on today's show: Benny Safdie, Director, "The Smashing Machine"; Trymaine Lee, Author, "A Thousand Ways to Die"

Former Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk

For the first time in six years, the US government has shut down. While government shutdowns are not unprecedented, this one carries unique and potentially far-reaching implications. Speculation is growing that the administration may use the shutdown as an opportunity to enact sweeping changes, including mass firings. Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen joins Christiane to explore why this shutdown may be unlike any before, and what the administration’s recent rhetoric and actions could signal for the days ahead. 

Also on today's show: Vali Nasr, Professor, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University; former US Senator Joe Manchin

What to Expect if the US Gov Shuts Down

Following President Trump's tirade against the UN and American allies this week, Christine speaks with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on the sidelines of the UNGA. The two discuss how Spain has stood up against some of Trump's demands on immigration, climate, Gaza and NATO, and why it was ahead of most of Europe in recognizing a Palestinian state. Then, legendary Hollywood star Jane Fonda joins the program alongside Zimbabwean human rights defender Mela Chiponda. They talk to Christiane about their new climate fund, what the world can learn from Africa about fighting the climate crisis and Fondas' recollections of Robert Redford. Also, a special "As Equals" report about the female Mexican cab drivers fighting back against the country's fatal misogyny. Plus, after Brazil's President Lula faced off with Donald Trump at the United Nations, Christiane speaks with the country's foreign minister, Mauro Vieira who claims President Trump “is not well-informed” on both the US-Brazil trade deficit and on the Bolsonaro prosecution. From Christiane's archives, a haunting echo of today's wars, where leaders tried to spin a new reality with a litany of lies. She revisits her report on Serbian forces insisting they were not laying siege to Sarajevo despite all the evidence to the contrary. And finally, Christiane visits New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral as it unveils a new mural honoring America's migrants, and speaks with Adam Cvijanovic, the mind behind the masterpiece.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte

In a Truth Social post, President Trump unexpectedly reversed his stance on Russia's war in Ukraine, saying for the first time, "I think Ukraine ... is in a position to fight and win all of Ukraine back in its original form." He called Russia a "paper tiger" and told reporters that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircrafts that violate their airspace. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Trump's post a "game changer," but issued a warning to world leaders at the UN today. Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission President, joins Christiane in this exclusive conversation.
