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

America's relative power is not what it was 20 years ago.

Navigating a new world order, my conversation with Stephen Hadley,

the National Security Advisor for President George W Bush.

We discuss the current threats facing the United States and their roots 20 years after the Iraq war.

Then, my works remains my life and it's my salvation.

From Amadeus to the White Lotus, the Oscar-winning actor F Murray Abraham tells me about his incredible

Hurry Srenovacen talks solutions with neuroscientists Stephanie Sutherland and

long-covey patient Tara Gormley. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in London. A lightning

successor President Barack Obama and how they continue to shape US policy to this day.

Stephen Hadley welcome to this day.
