Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files

On this week’s Q&A, Christiane and Jamie are asked what the killing of ‘El Mencho’ - who was the boss of Mexico’s powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the country’s most wanted man - means for US–Mexico security cooperation and the future of joint anti-cartel strategy.
They also unpack Donald Trump’s latest U-turn on the Chagos Islands deal and are asked who’s got the stronger case - Trump, or UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer?

This week, Christiane questions why there have been so few legal consequences in America for those who are implicated in the Epstein Files, and she & Jamie look at whether we are ever likely to see more people go to jail over their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. They also discuss Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's recent arrest on suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office, plus Christiane reveals why her name appears in the Files...
They also react to the Supreme Court's decision to rule many of Trump's tariffs illegal and explain what the consequences of that landmark decision could be for the global economy.
Later, Christiane has the latest on potential US strikes on Iran and shares her thoughts on Steve Witkoff's claim that Trump is surprised the Iranian regime hasn't already 'capitulated' in the face of a major military build-up in the Middle East.

As officials from Trump's top team and the Iranian regime prepare for another round of talks, Christiane reveals the chilling warnings she was given by key diplomats at the Munich Security Conference about the chances of Trump launching another round of strikes against Iran.
Christiane also explains how she sought out Reza Pahlavi - Iran's exiled Crown Prince and one of the people who could take over if the Ayatollah's regime is toppled - at the same Conference to hear at length about his plans for a potential transition of power. She and Jamie discuss whether a return to a monarchy would be in Iran's best interests, and Christiane explains why she feels there's now support among many ordinary Iranians for the prospect of a US military intervention.
Christiane & Jamie also reflect on Marco Rubio's speech to European allies in Munich: was it a Valentine's Day embrace, or another warning that America no longer has Europe's back?
