Summary

Jim Sciutto, CNN’s security correspondent and author of "The Madman Theory: Trump Takes on the World," joins Christiane Amanpour to unpack former national security adviser John Bolton’s explosive new memoir detailing his time in the White House by Trump’s side. Sciutto digs into Bolton’s motives and questions why he did not protest more loudly about the President’s behavior at the time and when testifying under oath. Since lockdown, rates of domestic violence around the world have spiked and nations with already poor records on women’s rights are seeing increased rates of femicide. Gabriela Jauregui, author and women's rights activist from Mexico, and Farnaz Fassihi, the New York Times journalist, explain the ‘shadow pandemic’ of violence against women in Mexico and Iran. Physician and epidemiologist Dr. Larry Brilliant has been sounding the alarm about pandemics for years; he speaks to our Walter Isaacson about working for the W.H.O in India and the lessons he learnt eradicating the smallpox virus.
