Description

"A government threat to silence a comedian the president doesn't like is anti-American", says Jimmy Kimmel as his show returns to air.

Christiane and Jamie are recording from New York, and Christiane gives her reaction to Kimmel being taken off air temporarily after comments he made about Charlie Kirk's murder - and Jamie reacts to the creeping levels of censorship he's seeing in Trump's America.

For the first time, G7 nations have recognised the state of Palestine. So what does this historic decision actually achieve? Christiane and Jamie discuss whether this is the right time for countries such as the UK, France, and Canada to make this move - and whether it could prompt Israel to annex more of the West Bank in response.

In the week of the UN's 80th anniversary, Christiane and Jamie also share their most memorable stories from their time at the United Nations - from how they met, to their work reporting on and trying to stop genocides.
