Tonight, a world exclusive: The International Criminal Court, whose mission is global justice and accountability, faces serious allegations against their Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan. Khan has spoken publicly in recent weeks, in interviews and public addresses, denying the allegations. Tonight we hear from the woman accusing him — her name is Sarah. She has asked us not to broadcast her last name. She has worked at the ICC since 2017 and is still employed there. She says she never wanted to be in this position; it is still difficult for her to talk about.  

Also on today's show: Another woman who accuses Khan of past sexual misconduct, which he denies; Sareta Ashraph, Karim Khan's legal counsel

Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old husband and father, reportedly possessing a social security number and the legal right to work in the US, was fatally shot by federal immigration agents on the street in Maine on Monday. Guerrero is the fourth person to have been killed by ICE agents this year alone. The surge of violence is again igniting anger at Trump's aggressive immigration agenda, and the apparent lack of accountability for ICE agents. Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree joins the show from Washington DC to discuss.

At the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump declares “love and unity” with allies, and Europe signals it is taking more responsibility for its own defense. Christiane speaks with former US Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith about what the summit revealed and growing uncertainty around the fragile Iran truce. Then, Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III responds to White House broadsides accusing the institution of having a “radical, activist ideology.” Will Ripley reports from Taiwan on China’s striking mock-up of a U.S. warship in the Xinjiang desert. Former British Prime Minister Theresa May joins Christiane to discuss CNN’s new documentary The Salisbury Poisonings: A Spy Next Door about the Novichok attack in England in 2018, and they discuss the threat Russia still poses to the West. From the archives, Christiane looks back at Beirut in 1993, a city emerging from civil war and still symbolic of Lebanon’s repeated cycle of destruction and rebirth. And finally, Spain’s Running of the Bulls festivities explode across Pamplona, 100 years since Ernest Hemingway immortalized them in The Sun Also Rises.
