Drawing on decades of insider experience in global affairs, reporting from conflict zones, and grilling world leaders, they explain how we ended up where we are – and where we might be going. Forget about a new world order – right now, there’s no world order. From Trump and Putin to the war in Ukraine, China’s global rise, and chaos in the Middle East, geopolitics has never been more dangerous or unpredictable. The Ex Files provides unparalleled insight into the issues keeping world leaders, and the rest of us, awake at night. With searing honesty, jaw-dropping stories, and candid humour, this is the foreign policy podcast for our fractured age. They’re no longer married, but when it comes to current affairs, Christiane and Jamie still finish each other’s sentences. Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files is a Global production, available every Tuesday and Thursday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your shows.

They discuss why the Trump administration appears to have been surprised by the conflict's impact on the global economy and whether the Iranian regime is any closer to falling than it was three weeks ago. Later, Christiane & Tina discuss Trump's other war: his continued assault on the free press, from giving daily micro-interviews to his notorious distraction techniques. And Tina explains why the Epstein Files are the one story that the President hasn't been able to make go away.
