In his first week back in office, President Trump's strong arm is already making itself felt around the world — with the United States pulling out of the World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords, imposing tariffs on China and the Americas, and pledging to end wars while threatening territorial annexations. Christiane talked to Sir John Sawers, former MI6 chief and UK ambassador to the UN, about what this shift means for where the world is headed. Then, as the State Department experiences a wave of resignations and retirements, and Marco Rubio proclaims Trump's will be the most pro-Israel administration in history, Christiane speaks with Josh Paul, one of the first Biden State Department staffers to resign over Biden's Israel policy. And as a fragile ceasefire holds in Gaza, Palestinian diplomat Husam Zomlot joined Christiane to discuss the uncertain future for Palestinians there. Plus, award-winning filmmaker Mike Leigh and actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste discuss their new film "Hard Truths." And finally, Sharone Lifschitz reflects on the anguish of Israeli families like hers, still waiting for loved ones held hostage by Hamas.
