Fresh off his trip to the Middle East, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen talks about spillover conflict fears as attacks escalate in The Red Sea, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, whether the claims of genocide against Israel hold up, and the repercussions of Netanyahu’s relentless war on Biden’s re-election bid.

Then, in a forensic, months-long investigation into Israeli strikes on Gaza, CNN’s Katie Polglase asks if the end can really justify the means when hospitals become legitimate military targets?

In our Letter from London this week, professor Scott Galloway joins Christiane for a lightning-round conversation on why he thinks (mathematically speaking at least) Trump’s going to jail, Biden’s going to win, what scares him most about Artificial Intelligence - and why there’s “nothing more dangerous than a young, broke, lonely man.”

Also this hour, with awards season shifting into high-gear, actor America Ferrera sits down with Christiane in LA to unpack her unforgettable and inspirational moment in the billion dollar movie, Barbie.

And in the Amanpour Archive: In a week that saw a significant step towards normalizing relations between warring neighbors Serbia and Kosovo, we take you back to 1999 as Christiane watched US Marines lead a NATO coalition to free Kosovo from the brutality of Yugoslav rule.

Airdate: January 13th, 2024.

Guests: Chris Van Hollen, Scott Galloway, America Ferrera.
