Hello everyone and welcome to Ammanpur. Here's what's coming up.

My father's a life sir.

We believe so.

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt tells me about his new space epic Ad Astra, what it means to be

masculine and vulnerable. Then, we see today conflicts, displacements, migrations.

The catastrophic threat of the climate crisis,

the UN's human rights chief Michelle Bachelet

says it's also a threat to our right to life in a sustainable world.

Plus Microsoft's President Brad Smith on why governments need to get real about regulating big tech. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm

poor in London. Coming up my interview with Brad Pitt on his new space film but first from

the galaxy the horrifying images here on earth are clearly visible.

Fires raging in the Amazon, forests reduced to ashes,

glaciers shrinking, but the climate crisis is not only having a devastating

impact on the places we live in, but also on our human rights.

As the existential issue of our time, it'll take centre stage at this year's UN General Assembly,

which kicks off next week.

Friday, we'll see the next mass protests and youth climate strikes

pioneered by the teenage activist and now icon Greta Thunberg.

Greta and other campaigners are facing increasing hostility and abuse and

Michelle Bachelet, the UN's human rights chief, is calling it out.

Of the climate emergency, she says, the world has never seen a threat to human rights of this scope and I asked her what world leaders should do at next week's big UN climate summit that will kick off the annual General Assembly meeting in New York.

Michelle Bachelet, welcome to the program.
