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.

Christiane and Jamie unpack why this moment has rattled European leaders, why Spain's carefully managed immigration model is suddenly on the defensive, and whether the far right will exploit the crisis all over again. Netanyahu has publicly rejected Trump's Gaza peace plan. But with Israel's election and the US midterms falling within a week of each other, could defeats for both Netanyahu and the Republicans finally shift the balance of power in the Middle East? Plus: AOC is freezing her eggs - does that mean she's running for president? Jamie explains why he believes a far-left nominee would lose the general election, and why the centrist-vs-progressive battle is the defining question for Democrats heading into 2028.
