Has America turned away from its global leadership role for good under Donald Trump? Can public opinion can still have a significant impact on foreign policy? And how big a threat does censorship pose to democracy? These are just some of your questions that Christiane and Jamie tackle on this week's extended Q&A episode. Christiane also reveals whether, as a journalist, the desire to be the first to report something has ever trumped the need to be right. Plus she and Jamie give their view on what the world's most under-reported story is - and they finish by explaining what still gives them cause to be hopeful in a world where hope often seems hard to find.
