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

Amanpour

In his first trip abroad as President-elect, Donald Trump attended the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Dispensing with protocol, world leaders like Emmanuel Macron are eager to meet with him to take the measure of the man they know as a deliberate disruptor to the world stage. One leader who know him very well is former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She joined Christiane in Washington to discuss her new memoir "Freedom," how she handled Trump’s unconventional style, his fascination with dictators, and Putin's fear tactics. As rebel forces in Syria continue to seize key territories, Christiane digs into the archives, when she visited with Syrian refugees in Jordan, highlighting the ongoing human cost of this 13-year conflict. Sitting down with Christiane in New York, award-winning actress and Hollywood star Demi Moore discusses beauty standards and self-acceptance. She talks about her role in The Substance, a film exploring the dark side of chasing youth, our society's obsession with aging, and opens up about family, and supporting her ex-husband Bruce Willis through his dementia diagnosis. Finally, filmmaker Payal Kapadia discusses her Cannes-winning film "All We Imagine As Light," a poignant exploration of love and patriarchy in modern India.

Syrian journalist Rami Jarrah

In the early hours after Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad's fall, rumors flew of secret prison cells locked by fleeing guards, deprived of inside of food, water and even oxygen. Today, the Association of Detainees and the Missing say that the notorious Saydnaya prison is now empty, with the White Helmet rescuers confirming "no evidence of undiscovered secret cells or basements." But before that confirmation, fueled by fear and desperation, thousands of relatives went there in search of those who had been condemned to Assad's dungeons. Correspondent Clarissa Ward reports from Damascus.

The Syrian people are still celebrating what so many never thought possible, a country free of Bashar al-Assad. But amid the joy, there is much uncertainty about what lies ahead, and also deep pain, as the heinous atrocities from the past decades are coming more and more to light. Stephen Rapp has been laser-focused on bringing Assad to justice for years, gathering and documenting all the evidence possible. Rapp, who was the leading US official on war crimes, says he wants to see the brutal dictator face responsibility for the detention, torture and murder of tens of thousands of Syrians. He currently serves as distinguished fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for the Prevention of Genocide. He joins the show from Washington DC.
