August 13, 2021 Amanpour: Barnett Rubin, Ahmed Rashid, Heidi Heitkamp, Lucy Walker and Preet Bharara
The Taliban has now taken control of Herat, Afghanistan’s third-largest city. To assess the latest, Bianna speaks with Barnett Rubin, who has advised the U.S. government on Afghanistan, and Ahmed Rashid, a longtime expert on the Taliban. This week a bipartisan group pushed a trillion-dollar bill through the Senate; hot on its heels was an additional $3.5 trillion budget blueprint. To dig into what these bills would mean for the American people – and whether they’ll pass at all – Bianna speaks with former Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp. California is battling its second-largest wildfire ever. Exhausted and traumatized firefighters are trying to stop the blazes that are devastating the land and destroying homes. Oscar-nominated director Lucy Walker experienced such scenes firsthand when she embedded with a group of firefighters during the megafires of 2018, a story depicted in her new documentary, "Bring Your Own Brigade." Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara joins Walter Isaacson to discuss the revelations and to share his reaction to Gov. Cuomo’s resignation.
