Martin Luther King III on the need for civility in America & what the U.S. response to strikes in Qatar & Poland should be
Following the murder of Trump ally Charlie Kirk, Christiane speaks with human rights activist Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the late civil rights icon. The two discuss the rising political violence in America and the need to seek civility.
Then, Michigan's Democratic Senator, Elissa Slotkin, speaks with Christiane about what America's foreign policy should look like, following Israel striking inside Qatar and Russian drones entering Polish airspace.
Plus, freed Israeli hostage Liat Beinin Atzili & filmmaker Brandon Kramer join Christiane on set in London to discuss his new film "Holding Liat," looking at how Liat's family fought for her return from Hamas captivity while also grappling with their own moral outrage over the war in Gaza and desire for peace and reconciliation.
Also, Isobel Yeung reports on the UK government's decision to designate Palestine Action a terrorist group.
And twenty four years after 9/11, Christiane reflects on her own coverage in the chaotic days after the attacks, and goes back to her report from Afghanistan from December of 2001, where she and her team found evidence of Osama Bin Laden's plans, his Al-Qaeda training camp, and the last place he was known to have lived before fleeing.
