Amanpour is CNN International's flagship global affairs interview program hosted by Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour.

Amanpour

In the same week President Donald Trump brings a ceasefire and plans for a permanent peace in the Middle East, could he also be preparing for war in his own backyard? He ended this week authorizing CIA action in Venezuela to target the drug trade and the flow of illegal migrants, as the U.S. continues to blow up boats off the coast there. And while Trump stopped short of saying the U.S. is pushing for regime change in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado, the country's opposition leader and winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, is calling for just that. Christiane spoke to her from an undisclosed location about why she supports Trump's military intervention against Maduro and why she has dedicated her Nobel award to Trump. Then, as Trump's ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas in Gaza moves to phase two, Christiane speaks to Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. who helped broker the deal about his hopes amid the many roadblocks ahead. Plus, a special CNN investigation by Stefano Pozzebon uncovers the abuses and harassment faced by female workers in Guatemala's garment factories. Also on the show, Christiane speaks with renowned historian Thant Myint-U about his new book "Peacemaker," and his grandfather U Thant, the former UN Secretary General, who played a crucial role in resolving massive events like the Cuban Missile crisis. From her archives this week, Christiane emphasizes the need for courageous leadership in the Middle East by spotlighting the legacy of a true warrior for peace : former Israeli Foreign Minister, Prime Minister and President, Shimon Peres, who despite facing backlash at home never stopped believing in peace. And finally, from peace warrior to Sumo warriors. Far from home, more than 40 of Japan's top heavyweights have taken the British capital by storm for the first Sumo championship in the UK in more than thirty years. Air date: October 18th, 2025 Guests:

From a Middle East Ceasefire to the U.S. Power Play in Venezuela

Despite jubilation in Gaza following the ceasefire with Israel, the future of more than two million Palestinians is still far from secure. Talks have kicked off in Egypt to decide a post-war governance plan for Gaza, but Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti will not be among Gaza’s transitional leaders. Imprisoned since 2002, he's considered a terrorist by Israel. Christiane speaks with Barghouti’s son, Arab, who joins the program from Ramallah.

Who Will Lead Gaza?

The ceasefire in Gaza is just four days old, and already there are signs of tension: Hamas says it's handed over all the hostages remains it can access, without specialist equipment. Israel is restricting aid in retaliation. Meanwhile, Israel returned 120 bodies of Palestinians held during the war, some of which show signs of abuse and beating. And with Hamas reasserting its authority in brutal fashion against ordinary Palestinians there are also growing questions around the future governance of Gaza. Nasser al-Kidwa is a well-known Palestinian politician, nephew of Yasser Arafat and former Foreign Minister for the Palestinian Authority. In recent years he's worked on a peace plan alongside former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Al-Kidwa joins Christiane from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Egypt is playing a major role in helping to secure and stabilize Gaza. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty joins the show to discuss.
