The Limits of Power

Amanpour

About this episode

As Washington and Tehran move toward a deal to end their war, have months of conflict simply restored the status quo? Former German Foreign Minister and current President of the U.N. General Assembly Annalena Baerbock discusses the diplomatic difficulties facing the United Nations. Then, as President Trump abandons his calls for regime change in Iran, journalists Bozorgmehr Sharafedin and Yeganeh Torbati discuss their new book 'Stolen Revolution' - a deep dive into why successive uprisings in Iran have failed. Amid World Cup fever, Christina MacFarlane reports on a football club in England helping bereaved fathers find connection and support. On World Refugee Day, Christiane speaks with 'The Pitt' star and International Rescue Committee ambassador Sepideh Moafi, who was born in a refugee camp after her family fled Iran, alongside the IRC's Sherine Ibrahim. From the archives, we look back at Christiane's report from the height of the European migration crisis, when she joined a rescue operation in the Mediterranean in 2015. And finally, as Americans mark Juneteenth, a reminder of the words of lawyer and activist Bryan Stevenson who reflects on the importance of remembering both the victory of emancipation and the enduring legacy of slavery.
