Global Tensions: US-Europe Relations Amid Middle East Wars

There's a chain reaction happening across the world: The longer the Iran war drags on, the more the US drains its global supply of critical weapons. And the longer oil prices remain high, the more Russia reaps the rewards, leaving Europe increasingly exposed to Putin's aggressive instincts. Petr Pavel is president of the Czech Republic, former chief-of-staff of the Czech armed services, and served as chair of NATO's military committee. Christiane spoke to President Pavel at a conference in Prague. 

Also on today's show: Edward Luce, US National Editor, Financial Times; Dr. Elizabeth Rosenthal, Senior Contributing Editor, KFF Health News

Czech President Petr Pavel

A diplomatic stand-off continues between the US and Iran after President Donald Trump called off his negotiating team's trip to Pakistan to meet with the Iranian delegation. The President has said Iran "can call" if they want but said the war could end soon. In turn, Iran has floated an initial deal that would require Washington to permanently end the war in exchange for the reopening of Hormuz. Sanam Vakil, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House joins Bianna Golodryga to break down who is really holding the cards as diplomacy reaches a stalemate between Tehran and Washington. She joins the show from London.

Who Really Holds the Winning Cards In US-Iran Stalemate?

Is the Iran crisis distracting the world from Ukraine's fight for survival?

From Iran to Lebanon, to Israel and the occupied West Bank, the Middle East is truly in flames. In Lebanon, Israel continues to pound Hezbollah in the south, despite a so-called ceasefire and ongoing talks with the Lebanese government. Meantime, Israeli settlers are ramping up their violence against Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank, often with the security forces looking on, and even participating. Inside Israel, many Israelis support all this war, especially since October 7th. But not all, one key voice of resistance belongs to 86-year-old Colette Avital. She is a former Israeli diplomat, Knesset member and Holocaust survivor. She joins the show from Tel Aviv. 

Also on today's show: CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir; author Rebecca Solnit; House Representatives Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Teresa Leger (D-NM)

Nate Swanson served as the National Security Council's Iran director. Days before the US and Israel launched their war, he warned that Iran would respond exactly as it has done. He joins the show to discuss this all.

NSC Warned This Would Happen

After four years of virtual stalemate in Ukraine, both Kyiv and the Kremlin are trying to use the war in Iran to their own advantage.

Confusion Reigns As Ceasefire Countdown Ticks

The science is clear: the climate crisis is existential, and humanity is still not doing enough to prevent catastrophe. A new report from the United Nations warns that at our current rate, the world is set for disastrous overheating of 2.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century – way higher than the goal of 1.5. This weekend, world leaders will gather in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt for the COP27 summit, where once more they will try to agree on a way to reverse this. Simon Stiell is the United Nations’ climate chief and speaks to Christiane ahead of this vital summit. 

Also on today's show: Two-time Oscar-winner Genna Davis; Joan Donovan & Emily Dreyfuss, co-authors of Meme Wars.
