Amanpour

Two years after October 7th, a rare moment of hope and jubilation for war-ravaged Gaza and for Israelis awaiting the return of their loved ones, after Donald Trump announced the Israel-Hamas deal had been reached. Christiane speaks with three Middle East mediators, Oliver Mcternan of Forward Thinking, Israel's Yossi Beilin who served as the country's justice minister, and Hussein Agha who has a long history in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, about the intricacies of the deal and whether it will lead to a lasting peace. Then, Christiane speaks with Israeli journalist Nir Hasson about why he thinks Israel's brutal response to the October 7th massacre "destroyed the foundations on which the State of Israel was founded." Plus, CNN's Gustavo Valdes reports on the administration's deportation of Emmy-award winning journalist, Mario Guevara, who was arrested by ICE in June after live-streaming coverage of a "No Kings" protest. Also on the show, former Israeli hostage Nili Margalit recounts her horrendous experience in the tunnels of Gaza during Hamas captivity. Christiane also speaks with Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael al-Dahdouh who became the face of what journalists like himself have had to endure covering the carnage in Gaza. And as the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded this week, from her archives, Christiane revisits the story of Shirin Ebadi, the first Muslim woman and Iranian to win, and the extraordinary courage behind her fight for human rights. Air date: October 11th, 2025 Guests:

Oliver Mcternan, Yossi Beilin, Hussein Agha,

The Response To The Israel-Hamas Deal

Talks continue in Egypt to end the war in Gaza.

Israel Marks a Grim Anniversary

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why This Shutdown May Be Different

America is reeling and the world is shocked after conservative youth activist - and staunch Trump ally - Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Acts of violence such as these are not isolated, or unique to one side of the political aisle. Martin Luther King III has experienced this violence firsthand as the son of the civil rights icon who was assassinated in 1968. He joins the show from Atlanta. 

Also on today's show: Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Founding Director, Polarization and Extremism Research Innovation Lab at American University; British artist Jenny Saville; author Dan Wang ("Breakneck")
