Optimism and Inspiration Ahead of Brazil’s Crucial Climate Summit

Ten years ago in Paris, the world set its key climate goal, to limit a rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Now the United Nations is warning that the planet is likely to overshoot that target in the next decade, and that swift action is needed to limit the damage. The warning comes as world leaders are gathering for the COP30 Climate Conference in Belem, Brazil. Christiane spoke to former UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres, a key architect of the Paris Climate Agreement, in Brazil ahead of the summit.

Former UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres

President Trump is throwing out all kinds of reasons to try to explain some of Tuesday's US election results. While this includes false claims of election rigging, a new cover story in The Atlantic suggests this administration is also taking concrete actions that undermine that very security. According to one expert, "If you are not frightened, you are not paying attention." Atlantic staff writer David A. Graham joins the show to discuss his reporting. 

Also on today's show: author Salman Rushdie; NYT climate reporter Raymond Zhong

'We Can Be Brave'

President Trump's long-awaited meeting with China's Xi Jinping has resulted in some success or both sides, with agreements on rare earth minerals and tariffs. But while these deals may be a welcome sign of diplomatic engagement, Trump's unexpected order to start nuclear weapons testing again, for the first time in 30 years, grabbed the bigger headlines. Matt Pottinger was Trump's Deputy National Security Adviser during his first term, and he joins the program from Utah.

Gaza has seen its deadliest day since the ceasefire began just over two weeks ago.

Cracks in the Ceasefire

The Trump administration is pausing all shipments of military aid to Ukraine, potentially crippling the country's war effort against an invading Russia. Concurrently, the White House is pausing offensive cyber operations against Moscow and even mulling sanctions relief. Joining the program to discuss is former NSC Director of European Affairs Alexander Vindman, who in 2019 blew the whistle on Trump's threat to suspend military aid to try to get Zelensky to investigate Hunter Biden. Vindman's new book "The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine" could hardly be more timely.
