Diplomacy at a Crossroads

As old alliances are tested and new powers emerge, diplomacy is being reshaped across a divided world. Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares discusses recent tensions between the U.S. and Europe. Then, we turn to the sports world, as former professional tennis player Rafael Nadal reflects on his new documentary and opens up about his struggles with anxiety and injury. CNN Chief International Security Correspondent Nick Paton Walsh walks down a deadly road near Ukraine’s frontlines, where modern warfare is rapidly changing. Then, Christiane speaks to Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty about his country’s role as a mediator in the conflict with Iran. After The New York Times revealed that the U.S. and Israel may have considered former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as part of a regime change strategy, we revisit Christiane’s 2005 interview with the hardliner. And finally, as Americans honor the troops who gave their lives this Memorial Day, we return to Christiane’s conversation with WWII veteran Jake Larson, who explained why he joined the fight against fascism more than 80 years ago.
