Summary

The British government is facing major criticism for overlooking the threat of Wagner, the Russian mercenary network. A parliamentary committee said the UK’s “dismal lack of understanding” over the group’s work in Africa allowed it to flourish. But according to the Washington Post, Russian President Vladimir Putin was so stunned by Wagner’s march on Moscow last month that he froze with indecision for almost a day. Christiane discusses this with Professor of Russian History Robert Service. Also on today's show: Nobel Peace Prize winner Nadia Murad; former Trump official Miles Taylor; former soccer stars Brandi Chastain and Lianne Sanderson To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
