It's been one week since Ukraine launched its surprise incursion into Russia. Today, President Vladimir Putin again framed this as a battle of survival against the West, saying Kyiv's move is a negotiating tactic. John Sullivan was appointed US ambassador to Russia by President Trump and was still there when Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. He previously served as deputy secretary of state. He recounts it all in his new book, "Midnight in Moscow," and he joins the program from Washington DC.

In Lebanon, the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, has condemned the back-to-back attacks targeting the group's pagers and walkie-talkie communications system as "massacres." He also warned Israel that Hezbollah's forces on the border won't stop until the war in Gaza ends. At the same time, Israeli fighter jets screamed over the capital Beirut, appearing to drop flares, and the IDF said it is striking targets in Lebanon. All of this is raising concerns about an all-out war to a new level, after Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's warning on Wednesday that a new phase of this conflict is beginning. Christiane gets the latest from correspondent Ben Wedeman in Beirut.
Also on today's show: US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns; author Robert Caro (“The Power Broker”); Francis Fukuyama, Senior Fellow, Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute

In Lebanon, Israel’s campaign is straying further from military targets, attacking branches of a Hezbollah financial center which is used by many civilians as a bank. Meanwhile, a Hezbollah drone has hit the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was not there, and no injuries have been reported. Ryan Crocker, who served as US ambassador to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and other posts across the region joins Christiane to discuss.

A major political crisis is underway in the United Kingdom. “Keep Calm and Carry On” seems to be Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s continuing motto, despite yet another scandal, top ministerial resignations, losing recent local elections, and plunging popularity. One snap poll conducted today found that seven out of 10 adults want Johnson to resign. And yet again, the familiar question: how long can he cling on? It’s a playbook Americans know well; just like Donald Trump, Boris Johnson has stepped far out of mainstream expectations for a political leader and flung up such volumes of scandal, overloading the news cycle and the public. But the old Boris razzle dazzle is wearing thin in Westminster and in the country at large, as voters grapple with the cost of living crisis and transit strikes amid a deficit of good governance. As more and more of Boris Johnson’s own MPs urge him to resign, we dedicate the hour to this very British scandal.
Featuring: Former Conservative Party MP Rory Stewart, CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson, Open Society Foundations President Mark Malloch-Brown, Former Communications Director for Tony Blair Alastair Campbell, historian Margaret MacMillan.
