In the same week President Donald Trump brings a ceasefire and plans for a permanent peace in the Middle East, could he also be preparing for war in his own backyard? He ended this week authorizing CIA action in Venezuela to target the drug trade and the flow of illegal migrants, as the U.S. continues to blow up boats off the coast there. And while Trump stopped short of saying the U.S. is pushing for regime change in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado, the country's opposition leader and winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, is calling for just that. Christiane spoke to her from an undisclosed location about why she supports Trump's military intervention against Maduro and why she has dedicated her Nobel award to Trump. Then, as Trump's ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas in Gaza moves to phase two, Christiane speaks to Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. who helped broker the deal about his hopes amid the many roadblocks ahead. Plus, a special CNN investigation by Stefano Pozzebon uncovers the abuses and harassment faced by female workers in Guatemala's garment factories. Also on the show, Christiane speaks with renowned historian Thant Myint-U about his new book "Peacemaker," and his grandfather U Thant, the former UN Secretary General, who played a crucial role in resolving massive events like the Cuban Missile crisis. From her archives this week, Christiane emphasizes the need for courageous leadership in the Middle East by spotlighting the legacy of a true warrior for peace : former Israeli Foreign Minister, Prime Minister and President, Shimon Peres, who despite facing backlash at home never stopped believing in peace. And finally, from peace warrior to Sumo warriors. Far from home, more than 40 of Japan's top heavyweights have taken the British capital by storm for the first Sumo championship in the UK in more than thirty years. Air date: October 18th, 2025 Guests:
Maria Corina Machado
Badr Abdelatty
