Amanpour: Vadym Prystaiko, Andrew Forrest and Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Vadym Prystaiko, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, joins Christiane Amanpour to talk about the explosive interview from Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Parnas seemed to confirm the White House's effort to intimidate the President of Ukraine into providing dirt on Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Prystaiko discusses the international crises that Ukraine has been inadvertently dragged into; from the impeachment of Donald Trump to the Ukrainian airliner shot down in Iran. Andrew Forrest, founder and chairman of Fortescue Metals, talks about the devastating wildfires in his home Australia. Forrest donated $48 million in aid - but as a mining magnate he has a complicated history with the contributing factors to climate change and by extension these very fires he is helping to put out. Our Walter Isaacson sits down with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the host of "Finding Your Roots," to discuss his Emmy award-winning show and the array of celebrities he has helped piece together their ancestry.
