Amanpour: Ursula von der Leyen, Filippo Grandi, Justin Chon and Yola

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen joins Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview to talk about the AUKUS deal. She says a lot of questions have to be answered and the current treatment of France is “not acceptable”. Then UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi discusses the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and the need for stability in the country. Turning to a moving portrayal of the Asian-American experience, our Hari Sreenivasan speak to former Twilight actor Justin Chon about his new movie “Blue Bayou” in which he directs and stars as a Korean born U.S. adoptee who faces deportation from the only country he’s ever called home. And finally, singer/songwriter and four-time Grammy nominee Yola talks about making music in an industry that, she says, too often subverts black female autonomy.
