  1. Nigeria's election controversy

    Nigeria's election controversy

    Nigeria’s main opposition parties are calling for a fresh election before ballots have even finished being counted. They’re saying that Saturday’s presidential vote was “irretrievably compromised,” with Nigerian voters complaining of intimidation and voter suppression. So far, the official count says the ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu leads nationally, but a shocking result saw him lose in Lagos to outsider candidate Peter Obi. This rollercoaster of an election in Africa’s largest democracy and economy will have an impact beyond the country’s borders. To discuss all this, we speak with broadcaster and filmmaker Bolanle Olukanni.  Also on today's show: Roger Cohen, author, “An Affirming Flame”; Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs, King’s College London; David Brooks, New York Times columnist To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

    Oscar nominee Michelle Yeoh

    Michelle Yeoh is no fan of glass ceilings. Neither her age, nor her nationality, nor her gender can stop her from taking Hollywood by storm. Fresh off a Golden Globe award for her virtuoso performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once, Yeoh leads the list of contenders for this year’s Best Actress Oscar. Her star vehicle is an idiosyncratic movie about a Chinese laundromat owner thrust into a mission to save all possible universes. Yeoh joins Christiane in London to discuss the film and her action-packed career.  Also on today's show: authors Jihyun Park & Seh-Lynn Chai; Emmy-award winner Eddie Izzard To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

  5. Why is Germany dragging its feet on sending tanks to Ukraine?

    Why is Germany dragging its feet on sending tanks to Ukraine?

    An unseemly split over tanks risks the ironclad unity the NATO alliance has demonstrated in support of Ukraine. Among some allies – led by Britain, Poland, Finland, and the Baltic nations – there is a sense of striking while the iron is hot, before Russia regroups for an expected spring offensive. At the heart of the drama is the German Leopard 2 tank, which is top of Ukraine’s wish list. But the German chancellor is dragging his feet. More than a dozen countries own those tanks, including Poland, which says it will send its Leopards to Ukraine. But it would need Berlin’s sign-off. U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby joins the show from the White House to discuss what military support Ukraine is getting – and what more the alliance can deliver.  Also on today's show: Marcin Przydacz, Foreign Policy Adviser to Polish president; Delia Ephron, author, Left on Tenth. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

  6. A revealing look at Biden's first two years

    A revealing look at Biden's first two years

    The 119th Congress is getting into full swing and we’re starting to see what the impact of a divided government looks like. GOP hardliners Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar were given committee assignments, despite being tossed off committees last term for incendiary language and ideas. The alleged fabulist George Santos also got a committee assignment, despite growing calls for his resignation. All this as the country moves full steam ahead into a fight over the debt limit, risking a US default that could have disastrous consequences for the American – and global – economy. First in tonight’s show, we take a step back with a revealing look at President Biden and his first two years in office. Chris Whipple joins the show from New York to discuss his new book, The Fight of His Life, based on inside access to the Biden administration.  Also on today's show: Composer Alan Fletcher and pianist Mikhail Voskresensky; Charlie Sykes, Editor-at-Large, The Bulwark. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

  7. Biden's document dilemma

    Biden's document dilemma

    A political scandal is brewing over the discovery of classified documents at President Biden’s Delaware home and former office, dating back to his time as vice president. A special counsel has been appointed to investigate, and Republicans are using the opportunity to slam Democrats as hypocrites. The president was highly critical of Donald Trump when classified documents were found at his Mar-a-Lago home last year. There are some key differences though: Trump had refused to return the files, even after being subpoenaed, while Joe Biden’s lawyers turned the materials over voluntarily and the White House has promised to cooperate fully. But it’s still a political headache for the president. To explain the legal implications and more, former federal and state prosecutor Elie Honig joins the show.  Also on today's show: California Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis; Jan Egeland, Secretary General, Norwegian Refugee Council; Dr. Francesca Beaudoin, Director, The Long Covid Initiative at Brown University. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

  8. Soviet weaponry on Ukraine's frontline

    Soviet weaponry on Ukraine's frontline

    During this long winter of war in Ukraine, in the eastern town of Soledar – near Bakhmut – every inch of land is contested. Russian mercenaries in the Wagner Group claim they’ve conquered the entire territory, but Ukraine says they’ve been “unsuccessful.” While the Kremlin is playing musical chairs with its war commanders – naming its most senior general Valery Gerasimov to replace Sergei Serovikin after just three months – the US and its allies are “positioning Ukraine to be able to move forward and retake territory,” according to a senior Pentagon official. Another says the upgrade in weapons they are providing gives Ukraine a “much more powerful offensive capability.” But still, both sides rely heavily on Soviet-era artillery, as Ben Wedeman reports from the eastern front.  Also on today's show: Oksana Markarova, Ukrainian Ambassador to the US; Sarah Polley, writer/director of Women Talking; former NFL player Nate Jackson, whose career was ended by injury. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
