Q&A: Why is Israel allowed to have nuclear weapons?
Thu, 10 Jul 2025
In this week’s bonus episode, Christiane and Jamie explain why Israel has been allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons - even though it won't admit to it - but other Middle Eastern countries aren't. They also discuss whether cultural differences between Iran and the West are contributing to the current tensions in the region. Plus, Christiane and Jamie both offer personal insights into the former Palestinian leader, the late Yasser Arafat, and Christiane explains why Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is a threat to liberal democracy in the Balkans. And finally - have you ever wondered why Jamie calls Christiane 'madam'? Listen to the end if you want to find out!
