No Peace in Sight

No peace in sight between Israelis and Palestinians. Christiane speaks with Hamas official Basem Naim about the state of President Trump’s peace plan. Then, as Gaza’s hospitals crumble, American doctors Mark Perlmutter and Feroze Sidhwa tell Christiane about their grueling work treating Palestinians in the enclave, now the subject of the new documentary “American Doctor.” In India, a student who left the U.S. to take on the Modi government with his “cockroach movement.” Abhijeet Dipke tells Christiane how India’s Gen Z won its first battle. Plus, the mysterious case of a woman who tried to blow up a Ukrainian millionaire in Monaco for $8,000, then turned up dead. A special investigation asks what really happened. Also on the program, “Half Man,” the dark new show from “Baby Reindeer” creator Richard Gadd. He tells Christiane why he keeps returning to trauma and male relationships.
