In this episode from Australia, Christiane reacts to the announcement of an imminent summit between the US and Iran in Istanbul, and gives her view on whether those talks are likely to achieve a meaningful breakthrough, and can help to avert a regional war in the Middle East. Christiane also reflects on Trump's suggestion of Republicans 'nationalising' elections, and speculates as to whether the upcoming Midterms will be free from Presidential interference.

Later, she speaks to the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and former foreign correspondent, Geraldine Brooks, about whether Trump is using ICE as a private militia, and what the US can learn from Australia, which is where Christiane is recording from this week.
