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

Amanpour

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. 

Also on today's show: Carlos Dada, El Salvadorian Journalist and Founder, El Faro; author Garret Graff ("The Devil Reached Toward the Sky"); Setsuko Thurlow, Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor

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. 

Also on today's show: Alexander Gabuev, Director, Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center; Barak Ravid, Global Affairs Correspondent, Axios; author Sami Tamimi ("Boutany")

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.

Israeli Human Rights Groups Allege "Genocide" in Gaza

Donald Trump recently proclaimed on social media that he is "the president of peace," but peaceful, the world is not. The Gaza war continues, Palestinian children are starving, Russia's war in Ukraine grinds on, and the global economy is in flux, with tremendous uncertainty over Trump's tariffs. 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

In Gaza, dozens more Palestinians have joined the list of those killed by Israel as they try to find food, after Israeli forced opened fire near an aid site. This comes as President Trump's Special Envoy met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is becoming increasingly isolated on the world stage. Amid diplomatic and political moves, the World Food Program says people in Gaza need aid urgently and immediately. To delve into this further, Tom Fletcher, the United Nations top humanitarian official, joins the show.

Children Suffering, Dying in Gaza

A worst-case scenario of famine is unfolding in Gaza, where widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths.

Famine Unfolding in Gaza

As appalling scenes of starvation and destruction out of Gaza continue, Christiane speaks exclusively with the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister. The two discuss the hunger crisis in the enclave, who governs the day after the Gaza war ends, and hopes for Palestinian statehood. Then, Oscar-winning filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov joins Christiane to discuss his new documentary "2000 Meters to Andriivka," bringing the brutality of war alive on-screen and connecting viewers to the everyday men fighting on the front lines. Also, from Downton Abbey to Hollywood's golden age, actress Elizabeth McGovern talks to Christiane about her new play about Ava Gardner, and the men who loved her. Plus, CNN's Isobel Yeung travels to Afghanistan reporting on the devastating impacts and distressing reality on the ground after USAID cuts. And, from her archives, 72 years after the armistice agreement ended fighting in the Korean War, Christiane's report from Pyongyang about how the legacy of that war is still fueling North Korean hatred towards the United States decades later.

Palestinian Authority PM on the Hunger Crisis and Desperation in Gaza

In the first six months of his second term, Donald Trump has set about changing the very fabric of America. And in the crosshairs: science. Unprecedented funding cuts and staff layoffs across universities, federal agencies and programs are threatening to derail research crucial in tackling the most pressing health issues facing Americans and indeed much of the world. Francis Collins has overseen some of the most revolutionary science of the last few decades before announcing his retirement in March, and he joins the show with a warning.

Former NIH Director Francis Collins

The World Health Organization assesses that Gaza is suffering from a man-made "mass starvation," as vital aid gets caught up in Israel's blockade. Gaza health officials say that 113 people have already died from malnutrition, and that all 2.1 million people in the enclave now face food insecurity. Correspondent Jeremy Diamond investigates reports of Israeli fire killing more than a thousand desperate Palestinians near Gaza aid sites in the last eight weeks.

Dying for Aid in Gaza

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning that Iran “will pay” after it fired about 200 ballistic missiles at military targets last night. When it comes to retaliation, the US President Joe Biden says he does not support an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. Meanwhile, on its northern front, Israel is sending in more forces to fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Almost swept from the headlines is Gaza, with little mention of the remaining Israeli hostages there or the nearly 90 Palestinians killed in the enclave just last night alone. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak joins Christiane on the show to discuss. 
Also on today's show: Andrew P. Miller, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israeli-Palestinian Affairs; Karim Sadjadpour, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; actor/activist John Leguizamo, host of “Voces American Historia: The Untold History of Latinos”
