Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with Christiane Amanpour, Chief International anchor for CNN. Amanpur has been on the front lines of global crises for decades, reporting from conflict zones including the Gulf War, Iraq, the Balkans, Syria, Sudan, Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, and beyond, and challenging world leaders to answer tough questions about war, peace, and humanity.
Her journalism has helped millions understand the consequences of international conflict and political change. Amanpur joined us at the Emanuel Center to help make sense of the world in 2026. Alongside journalist and broadcaster Rachilla Shah, Amanpur addressed some of the most pressing questions of our time. Will Donald Trump name a successor or seek a third term as US President.
Could wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan expand beyond their borders? And what should journalism look like in an era of sophisticated AI and unregulated social media? Let's join our hosts now live on stage. Hello everyone, good evening, welcome to this Intelligence Square event. Delighted to introduce our guest tonight, Christian Amanpohr.
