About this episode

As the dust settles from the US presidential debate, how can the Democrats manage the fallout from Joe Biden's faltering performance? Trumper Marc Lotter and Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg discuss.

Then, from the Amanpour Archive, flashback to Iran's Green Revolution when citizens shouted 'death to the dictator', accusing the Ayatollahs of stealing the 2009 election and locking up the reformist leader.

Meantime, as the UN takes flack for giving the Taliban a seat at the table but leaving Afghan women out in the cold, Anna Coren updates us on a young girl's second chance at life, after she tried to escape the Taliban's misogynistic rule.

And finally, how panda diplomacy is making a comeback.
