This week, Christiane and Jamie are asked whether they agree with Hillary Clinton that there is an Epstein files “cover up” by the Trump administration and whether the files are being unlawfully drip-fed to the public.
They’re also questioned on the controversial treatment of immigrants in America today and whether the US could face repercussions - or even international sanctions - because of it.

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?

The Q&A has returned! This week, Christiane and Jamie are asked whether America's allies would involve themselves in potential US military strikes on Iran, and if not, what that reluctance might mean.
They’re then questioned on the rationale behind deploying ICE agents at the Winter Olympics, as opposed to the secret service, and why, in comparison to UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Donald Trump appears to have faced far less scrutiny over the Epstein files.

As the crackdown on dissidents and protesters continues in Iran, Christiane and Jamie discuss what it would actually take for the Ayatollah's Islamic regime to be overthrown - and whether there is any chance that Trump will still follow through with his threat of a military intervention, given talks have now started between the US & Iran. Christiane also calls out Jamie and all recent US administrations for being too focused on Iran's missiles and nuclear threat, and for not doing more to support the human rights of Iranian people.
An impassioned Christiane also reacts to the recent sentencing of Hong Kong's media tycoon Jimmy Lai - and warns that press freedom is also being curtailed in the US and the West. She and Jamie discuss the consequences of major cutbacks at the Washington Post, and how Trump has used fear to silence many journalists who have been critical of his Presidency.
Christiane and Jamie also react to the crisis facing UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and discuss whether there was ever any justification for appointing Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador, given his known links to Jeffrey Epstein.
