  • Poor reporting

    I’m listening to “Inside Hezbolah” - the questions are in English (obviously originally not in English) BUT it would be fabulous to hear the English translation of the responses. So NO real understanding on my part of the interviewee’s views - which was the key point of this episode. Lots of views of other reporters, but from the title, the key point of the views inside were what counted, and we couldn’t understand them because we don’t speak their language. So, if you are going to broadcast ... more

  • Excellent, except…

    The music hype is repetitive and simply junk-noise. Please calm down. The news doesn’t need any hype-push today. The chaos and crises are loud enough in text as spoken by your fine reporters. All of you: stellar reporting.

  • Israeli UN Ambassador, Danny Danon

    Amanpour delivered a masterclass of journalism: showing the highest degree of respect, while not allowing opaque dishonesty overlooked. I was screaming into my headphones, she asked literally every question that I wanted answers for. I still don’t REALLY know those answers—he never gave a direct response (but maybe that’s the answer).

    MY POINT: this the best-of-best journalist. Bravo.. and thank you.

  • Stick with Amanpour!!

    Christiane is the only person from CNN whose podcasts I still listen to for news. She serves it up intelligently with integrity and without an agenda.

  • Please Don’t Interrupt

    If Christiane could somehow learn to NOT interrupt important guests like David Petraeus, then I would be able to hear what Mr. Petraeus has to say, in response to her pointed questions. Rather than hearing incessant, indignant, and disrespectful interruptions from Ms. Amanpour. Let the man speak !! That is the purpose of the interview for God’s sack! Learn some respect!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Khan
Q: How does the ICC maintain independence while facing political pressure and internal leadership challenges?
The ICC relies on the sovereignty embedded in the Rome Statute, strict adherence to law and evidence, and a strong commitment to procedural integrity to act as a buffer against external influence and internal turmoil.
ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Khan
Q: What is the impact of US sanctions on your personal and professional ability to do your work?
Sanctions limit access to financial services, banking, and travel, affecting daily life and operations, but the deputy prosecutor emphasizes resilience and continued commitment to pursuing cases and upholding the court's mandate.
Is Russia Waging A "Hybrid War" Against Europe?
Q: Finally, I just want to ask you then, is it better to try to engage the Russians or to keep trying to isolate them? For instance, at the G20, inviting the Russian finance minister caused tension. What is your view?
Pavel cautions against normalization with Russia while maintaining a willingness to negotiate; he supports a firm but open stance, arguing that unconditional engagement could be misinterpreted as weakness, yet negotiations should occur without preconditions while Russia stops fighting at the front lines.
Is Russia Waging A "Hybrid War" Against Europe?
Q: Well, let me ask you that, because this is the crux of the matter, isn't it? I don't know whether they are successful in discouraging your countries from supporting Ukraine, but your countries are having a really hard time right now supporting Ukraine.
Petr Pavel argues that while Western support faces political and logistical challenges, the resolve to support Ukraine remains, and deterring Russia requires maintaining unity, deterrence, and not misreading Moscow's incentives. He emphasizes that disunifying actions from Russia are intended to erode cohesion, but NATO and member states must stay aligned.
Serbs Mourn 'Butcher of Bosnia'
Q: How does Kos view nationalism in Serbia and its impact on EU prospects?
Kos argues that nationalism remains a powerful force in Serbia, and leaders will balance nationalist sentiment with EU aspirations and strategic partnerships, aiming to keep the EU option alive while maintaining ties with Russia and China.
