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

Amanpour

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.

Bibi Eyeing Complete Gaza Takeover?

The battle is on in Texas, where Republicans voted to issue civil arrest warrants for Democrats who fled the state to stop plans to redistrict the congressional map. Texas Democrats involved say they're “running into the fight to stand up for our democracy.” Former Democratic Congressman Joe Kennedy, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, says his party is failing to meet many voters where they are. With that in mind, he started "Groundwork Project," a non-profit aiming to rebuild Democratic values in four key red states. He joins the show from Boston.

Joe Kennedy on Rebuilding Democratic Values

While the White House claims the US economy is booming, recent data indicates otherwise, with one report in particular fueling concerns about a weak job market. In response, President Trump fired the person responsible for producing the numbers he claims were "rigged." So what's really happening? Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman and Greg Mankiw, who served as chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers under President Bush, join the show to break it all down.

What's Really Happening with the US Economy?

As suffering and starvation continues unimpeded in Gaza, the chorus of criticism is becoming louder, and not just from abroad. In an unprecedented move, Yuli Novak & Guy Shalev, the executive directors of B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, two leading Israeli human rights groups, tell Christiane why they believe their government is committing genocide in Gaza. Then former National Institutes of Health chief Francis Collins discusses the chilling impact of science and research cuts on American healthcare under Donald Trump's second term. Also, as Trump ramps up pressure on Putin's grinding war, Nick Paton Walsh has a special report on one of the country's youngest victims, Tymur, aged ten. Plus, after recent elections in Japan saw the obscure far-right party, Sanseito, make dramatic gains in the recent election, Christiane discusses whether Trump or tourists are behind the stunning results with Tomohiko Taniguchi, a former advisor to longtime Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Mira Rapp-Hooper, who was a special Asia advisor to President Biden. Thirty-five years since Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, from her archives, Christiane's report on America's massive military buildup in the Saudi desert ahead of their effort to repel Saddam, and the weary U.S. troops she met there, worried about insufficient supplies and what was yet to come.

For veteran diplomat and the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass, these are remarkable times indeed, as he watches the current world order morph under MAGA. He joins the program from New York.

Trump's New World Order

World leaders are meeting at the annual UN General Assembly against a grim backdrop of global conflict and deepening geopolitical divisions. But sometimes diplomacy can yield important results. This time last year, Siamak Namazi was released from Iran's notorious Evin Prison in a hostage-prisoner swap with the United States. He was the longest held American in Iran, a horrifying eight-year ordeal. Six months before his release, Namazi bravely called into this program from inside Evin, to make an emotional plea to President Biden. A year later, he is ready to talk for the first time, in an interview with Christiane in New York. 
Also on today's show: Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris; historian Timothy Snyder on his new book "On Freedom"
