Amanpour

The funeral of war criminal Ratko Mladić shocked European officials and cast doubt over Serbia's bid for EU membership. Tens of thousands of mourners gathered to honor the "Butcher of Bosnia," as the former Serb commander was buried with military honors. EU President Ursula von der Leyen called images from the funeral "shocking," and EU Enlargement Chief Marta Kos canceled a planned visit to Serbia in protest. Kos joins the show from Brussels. 

Also on today's show: Julian Borger, Senior International Correspondent, The Guardian; Utah Governor Spencer Cox

Germany Makes Far-Right Turn

Russia is bombarding Europe with so-called "grey attacks" - what might President Putin do next? Christiane asks Czech President, and former NATO General, Petr Pavel, who has been sounding the alarm bells for months. Then, a tribute to an extraordinary and full life. As Gloria Steinem dies at 92, Christiane revisits her conversations with the great feminist activist, who fought for women everywhere. Plus, after Nepal's catastrophic glacial meltdown, a special report on the ongoing search for the living, and the dead. Also on the program, an intriguing new documentary, ‘An Eye For An Eye’, about an Iranian woman who killed her husband after years of abuse—and must pay his family for forgiveness, or face execution. Then, as we mark 35 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, we look to Christiane’s archive with a piece detailing how the economic shock of the breakup hit Russians in their Vodka.

Is Russia Waging A "Hybrid War" Against Europe?

One of Donald Trump's main biographers, Maggie Haberman, says the US president's superpower is his "shamelessness." It's something he likely learned from his mentor, the notorious lawyer and fixer Roy Cohn. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kai Bird's latest book, "American Scoundrel," takes a close look at Cohn and how his influence can still be seen on American politics today. 

Also on today's show: Director Tanaz Eshaghian, "An Eye for an Eye"; author Wilbert Cooper, "The Black Shield"

Embedded with the Lebanese Army

Arson attacks, air space violations and assassination squads: Those were among the warnings from Poland's Foreign Minister, Radek Sikorski, at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Ireland today. This comes just after Germany announced that it was in fact Moscow behind last month's attack in Leipzig Airport, where an explosive drone was found near two Ukrainian cargo planes. None of this surprises Czech Republic President Petr Pavel, who told us back in April that Putin likely would attempt increasingly bold campaigns against NATO. Pavel joins the show from Prague to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Tennessee State Representative Justin J. Pearson on the battle over data centers; Notre Dame law professor Derek Muller on the battle over mail-in ballots

Czech President Petr Pavel on Russian Aggression

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned yesterday following months of clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Much of that friction is understood to have stemmed from Hegseth's slashing of the army's most senior leaders. For many, Driscoll's departure is no surprise, but it leaves the military without another combat-tested leader at what some see as a time of maximum peril. CNN White House Correspondent Alayna Treene joins the show to discuss. 

Also on today's show: former CDC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Debra Houry; author Annie Lowrey, "The Time Tax"; author Kurt Andersen, "The Breakup: A Novel"
