About this episode

Christiane and Jamie tackle more of your questions in this week's bonus episode, including Georgina's about whether it will be safe for foreigners to travel to the US for the 2026 Football World Cup given the hostile atmosphere Trump is creating with his crackdown on immigration.

Christiane also gives her view on the latest events in the Middle East, and Jamie doesn't hold back when asked whether the Israeli military is now committing war crimes in Gaza. They're also asked about Russia's growing influence across Eastern Europe in light of Jamie's recent trip to Bulgaria.

Plus the pair reveal what they enjoy reading and watching in their free time, and what career they'd have pursued if they hadn't been reporters, diplomats, or podcasters!
