Following the murder of Trump ally Charlie Kirk, Christiane speaks with human rights activist Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the late civil rights icon. The two discuss the rising political violence in America and the need to seek civility. Then, Michigan's Democratic Senator, Elissa Slotkin, speaks with Christiane about what America's foreign policy should look like, following Israel striking inside Qatar and Russian drones entering Polish airspace. Plus, freed Israeli hostage Liat Beinin Atzili & filmmaker Brandon Kramer join Christiane on set in London to discuss his new film "Holding Liat," looking at how Liat's family fought for her return from Hamas captivity while also grappling with their own moral outrage over the war in Gaza and desire for peace and reconciliation. Also, Isobel Yeung reports on the UK government's decision to designate Palestine Action a terrorist group. And twenty four years after 9/11, Christiane reflects on her own coverage in the chaotic days after the attacks, and goes back to her report from Afghanistan from December of 2001, where she and her team found evidence of Osama Bin Laden's plans, his Al-Qaeda training camp, and the last place he was known to have lived before fleeing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE  9-11-25 GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Brussels at the Article Four meeting called by Poland. 1942 FIRST HOUR 9-915 McCausland: Jeff McCausland analyzes Russia's drone probes into Poland, viewing them as Vladimir Putin's attempt to intimidate NATO and gather military intelligence. He notes Dmitry Medvedev's aggressive rhetoric against Finland. McCausland also discusses Israel's strike against Hamas in Doha, impacting US-Qatar relations, and US military posturing near Venezuela to intimidate Nicolás Maduro. He warns against "gunboat diplomacy" and a "war on cartels," stressing the dangers of escalation and historical lessons. 915-930 CONTINUED McCausland: Jeff McCausland analyzes Russia's drone probes into Poland, viewing them as Vladimir Putin's attempt to intimidate NATO and gather military intelligence.

He warns against "gunboat diplomacy" and a "war on cartels," stressing the dangers of escalation and historical lessons. 930-945 Mary O'Grady analyzes Argentine President Javier Milei's significant election loss in Buenos Aires, attributed to a corruption scandal involving his sister and the slowing economy. His brash style, while initially appealing and celebrated internationally, now alienates potential congressional allies and conservative voters. O'Grady suggests this approach is ill-suited for governing, hindering his economic reforms, as he struggles with high inflation and cuts to public subsidies, impacting public perception.945-1000 Chris Riegel, CEO of scholar.com, counters AI doomsayers like Geoff Hinton, emphasizing AI's transformational potential as a tool. He highlights the  mmense investment, hundreds of billions, in building gigawatt-plus data centers across the United States. This infrastructure drive is creating new industries and jobs, establishing the US as a global leader in AI, while also noting Asia's keen interest in US AI technology and Europe's lack of a cohesive strategy. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Jonathan Conricus observes Qatar's unprecedented move to engage beyond conventional tools, which Israel is closely monitoring. He suggests Israel's recent strike could signify a new deterrence doctrine, making Hamas leaders in Doha more vulnerable. This pressure might compel Hamas to accept Israel's terms for ending the conflict, which include releasing hostages and surrendering, thereby preventing further destruction and suffering in Gaza, despite the significant costs involved for Israel.1015-1030 CONTINUED Jonathan Conricus observes Qatar's unprecedented move to engage beyond conventional tools, which Israel is closely monitoring.

Despite warnings and previous Trump administration cuts, over $25 million in grants went to organizations with alleged ties to terrorism, antisemitism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. This included partnering with groups like CAIR, which also provided firearms training to radical mosques, raising serious questions about oversight and vetting standards for federal funds.1045-1100 Jonathan Speyer reports on Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping and Israel, sustained by Iranian, Iraqi, Hezbollah, and even Chinese support. He describes the Houthis as fanatical, religiously and tribally motivated, aiming for "death to America, death to Israel, and curse the Jews." While cutting their supply chain and taking Hodeidah port is militarily feasible for a Western-backed force, a lack of political will currently prevents such aggressive action against their sophisticated smuggling operations. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions. He discusses Russian drone incursions into Poland, likely an intentional message to NATO to test air defenses and warn against deploying troops to Ukraine. Russia may also seek to maintain Belarus firmly in its orbit by disrupting its multi-vector foreign policy initiatives, particularly any attempts at détente with the West.1115-1130 CONTINUED Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions.

While a flat tax would streamline the system and boost economic growth by focusing on consumption, de Rugy emphasizes that no tax system alone can resolve the severe US debt crisis; crucial reforms to Social Security and Medicare are indispensable.1145-1200 Ronan Wordsworth addresses a persistent recruitment and retention crisis in Five Eyes militaries, spanning decades. Younger generations, particularly Gen Z, favor STEM careers offering flexibility and better pay over military discipline. Militaries are responding with increased advertising, flexible service models, lateral entry for skilled professionals, and significant pay raises and bonuses. Low morale, stemming from unpopular past wars and perceived institutional guilt, also significantly impacts retention rates. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Professor Evan Ellis details Peru's complex political landscape under unpopular President Dina Boluarte, its strategic importance due to mineral resources, and substantial economic ties with China, including the Chancay deepwater port. He also addresses the escalating Venezuelan situation, with a US Marine Air-Ground Task Force deployment and bounties on Nicolás Maduro, suggesting potential military action.

//The Wire//2300Z September 10, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED AT EVENT IN UTAH. RUSSIAN DRONES ENTER POLISH AIRSPACE, SEVERAL SHOT DOWN BY POLISH AIR FORCE. VIOLENT MURDER SUSPECT REMAINS FUGITIVE IN NEW YORK. // -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Poland: Yesterday evening multiple Russian drones were observed flying out of the warzone in Ukraine and into Polish airspace. Polish military authorities issued various airspace closures and scrambled aircraft to intercept these drones. U.S. Air Force aircraft were also observed responding to the crisis, having scrambled at least one F-35 to attempt to find the drones. As the crisis developed Poland issued a large-scale shelter-in-place order, encompassing much of the eastern regions of the country, home to roughly 9 million people. No one was killed, and none of the drones appear to have been targeting anything in Poland as roughly a dozen drones were discovered crashed in farmers fields in eastern districts of the country.Analyst Comment: So far, the number of drones that entered Polish airspace has varied. Most reports seem to settle on a figure of around a dozen drones of varying type, but the true number has not been confirmed. Poland did confirm that several drones were shot down inside their airspace, though the exact number was not provided.-HomeFront-Utah: This afternoon Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem.Analyst Comment: This is a developing situation at the time of this report, and the situation remains very dynamic and multiple malign actors may be involved. After the shot, an elderly man (who was identified as George Zinn) was tackled in the crowd by those who thought he was the shooter. After some time, it became clear that Zinn was not the shooter but actually an agitator of some sort. While this is speculative, this individual behaved as though he may have been a spotter and/or an intentional distraction from the actual shooter, who may have taken the shot from an elevated position some distance away from the event. Some video evidence from the scene does indicate that an individual was spotted lying prone in a tactical position on the roof of an adjacent building. This afternoon, the FBI stated that they had one suspect in custody, other than the individual identified as George Zinn. More details to follow as information becomes available.North Carolina: Societal tensions remain extremely high following the release of the full murder tape of Iryna Zarutska. President Trump has called for the death penalty to be applied in this case, and the extremely shocking and disturbing nature of the murder is causing larger questions to be asked.Analyst Comment: In short, this horrific murder (and now along with that of Charlie Kirk) has moved the goalposts toward an acknowledgement of reality more than anything in recent memory. The defense is also trying to tee up an insanity defense, releasing statements that suggest the killer might have been mentally ill. However, the audio from the murder tape confirms that the murderer had planned and pre-established a story for the murder, stating that the victim had provoked him in some way (which the tape also confirms she did not do). Considering that the murderer will be tried by a jury of his peers probably *in Charlotte*, this is an important distinction to remember.Washington D.C. - Yesterday the Bureau of Labor Statistics posted the annual revisions to the jobs report, which revised the total number of jobs created last year. Out of the roughly 1.7 million jobs allegedly created last year, a little over 911,000 jobs were revised downwards, which is the largest recorded revision on record.Analyst Comment: This jobs report means that 51% of all of the jobs reported last year...never existed. The books were cooked to doub

This week a swarm of Russian heavy drones flew into Poland, a NATO member, and several of them were intercepted and shot down. The incident has raised a number of questions, as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called it “a large-scale provocation”. Thomas Graham, a Russia expert and a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis as we look at what this incident means for Europe, for NATO, and for ongoing talks on Ukraine.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Russia Tests NATO With Poland Drone BreachRussia's Strategy Against the West: Escalate Slowly and See if It RespondsPutin's Message to Ukraine, Europe and Trump: I Won't Back Down‘Intensified interest' in passing Russia sanctions bill, says ThuneCooperation signal on US LNGGreece weighs additional F-35 jets 

This conversation was recorded before Russia's drone strike on Poland. But in the conversation we speculate that just such an incident is becoming an inevitable part of the Kremlin's escalating aggression and probing of Western defenses and resolve. ----------Today I'm speaking with Operator Starsky, a former Ukrainian National Guardian, blogger, and inspiration for everyone who is following the war, and supporting a Ukrainian victory. He has created one of the most popular and original YouTube channels dedicated to the international community.

They highlight the severe implications of this decision for national security and counter-intelligence efforts. The conversation turns to the lamentable yet strategic nature of disinformation campaigns and their harmful impacts and stresses the necessity for robust countermeasures. The discussion also delves into Ukraine's ongoing struggle and how the nation has remarkably adapted to external threats by enhancing its defensive and offensive capabilities, including the development of advanced drones and missiles like Flamingo. The societal and geopolitical impacts are examined, with specific focus on how international communities can provide better support against such pervasive threats. The episode wraps up with a poignant reminder of the unyielding resilience of the Ukrainian people amid these extraordinary challenges.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Recap00:42 Breaking News: Disinformation Agreement Annulled01:57 The Threat of Russian Disinformation04:57 Propagandists and Justice08:11 Film Recommendation: Kiev of Mine11:02 Escalation in Ukraine13:31 Trump's Impact on Ukraine28:54 Ukraine's Resilience and Innovation36:03 Escalating Fuel Crisis in Russia38:18 Historical Context and Comparisons40:20 Russian Air Defense and Strategic Targets44:00 Internal Russian Politics and Potential Coups46:58 Ukraine's Strategic Strikes and International Support52:35 Impact of Sanctions on Russian Aviation58:52 Western Perceptions of Russia01:04:16 Historical Atrocities and Misconceptions01:08:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------

Fluid Russia: Between the Global and the National in the Post-Soviet Era (Cornell UP, 2021) offers a new framework for understanding Russian national identity by focusing on the impact of globalization on its formation, something which has been largely overlooked. This approach sheds new light on the Russian case, revealing a dynamic Russian identity that is developing along the lines of other countries exposed to globalization. Vera Michlin-Shapir shows how along with the freedoms afforded when Russia joined the globalizing world in the 1990s came globalization's disruptions. Michlin-Shapir describes Putin's rise to power and his project to reaffirm a stronger identity not as a uniquely Russian diversion from liberal democracy, but as part of a broader phenomenon of challenges to globalization. She underlines the limits of Putin's regime to shape Russian politics and society, which is still very much impacted by global trends. As well, Michlin-Shapir questions a prevalent approach in Russia studies that views Russia's experience with national identity as abnormal or defective, either being too weak or too aggressive. What is offered is a novel explanation for the so-called Russian identity crisis. As the liberal postwar order faces growing challenges, Russia's experience can be an instructive example of how these processes unfold. This study ties Russia's authoritarian politics and nationalist rallying to the shortcomings of globalization and neoliberal economics, potentially making Russia "patient zero" of the anti-globalist populist wave and rise of neo-authoritarian regimes. In this way, Fluid Russia contributes to the broader understanding of national identity in the current age and the complexities of identity formation in the global world. Guest: Vera Michlin-Shapir (she/her), is a Visiting Research Fellow at King's Russia Institute, King's College London. Host: Jenna Pittman (she/her) is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University. She studies modern European history, political economy, and Germany from 1945-1990.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on Europe's response to Russia's drone incursion into Poland; South Korean workers return home from U.S custody; Britain's Prince Harry arrives in Kyiv, Ukraine; and a Royal Opera appearance by Russian soprano Anna Netrebko draws a pro-Ukraine demonstration.

Polish prime minister Donald Tusk says the incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace brings his country closer to military conflict “than any time since World War II”. But it's not just Russian aggression causing major headaches for European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen - she's also facing backlash over her U-turn on Gaza, with many calling the latest sanctions on Israel too little, too late. With tensions rising on multiple fronts, the real question is: can a divided Europe stand united in the face of growing threats — or are internal cracks starting to show at the worst possible time?

In the second and final part of their discussion defence expert Lee Pilgrim and host Iain Ballantyne resume their survey of the Royal Navy and how to fix it. They ponder the need for a new ‘Dreadnought moment' under a leader as radical as the legendary Admiral Jacky Fisher who introduced war-winning tech and a new mindset. Fisher pushed through construction of the all-big-gun, steam turbine powered HMS Dreadnought, which in 1906 made all other battleships obsolete. Lee suggests it will also require a latter-day Julian Corbett, the civilian naval visionary who helped Britain forge a strategy for the immensely powerful Royal Navy of the early 20th Century. In their lively chat, Lee and Iain weigh up the worth of the UK's new Atlantic Bastion concept, and the part uncrewed systems will play in it, along with the need to keep humans in the kill chain if drones are to be a major part of policing the Greenland-Iceland-UK (GIUK) gap.  The latter is the main gateway to the broader Atlantic used by Russian submarines since the Cold War, but Iain and Lee wonder if a less passive, more forward leaning strategy is needed. Also touched on in the discussion is the utility of drones as part of the UK Carrier Strike Group and the  F-35B jet as a fighter-bomber compared to how the Royal Navy used to do things the last time it had big carriers (in the 1970s). •Lee Pilgrim has worked in defence and intelligence - for government and industry - for over 30 years both in the UK and overseas, so has some useful insights into a whole load of interesting things.

1) The suspect in the killing of Charlie Kirk slipped behind a building, braced himself on the roof and swung off the edge, hitting the ground hard and leaving behind palm smudges and a shoe print. He bolted across a patch of grass, cut through a parking lot and vanished into the trees.2) President Donald Trump said he intends to attend the funeral for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed at an event on a college campus in Utah.3) The shock Israeli strike against Hamas officials in Doha, followed by Russian drones piercing the airspace of NATO ally Poland, delivered twin blows to President Donald Trump’s longtime boast that friends and foes respect the US under his leadership like never before.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Revisiting the age limit for military drafting as Russian drones encroach on Polish airspace, sparking warnings of a potential third World War as Poland prepares to ask NATO to activate Article 4. NATO's Article 4 states: "The parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the parties is threatened."

-U describe Russian drones in Polish airspace as a move toward open conflict; Liberal Senator ejected from the front bench after comments about the Australian Indian community; and in sport, Wallabies fly-half Tom Lynagh cleared for Argentina rematch this weekend...

Police are still searching for the gunman who killed right-wing activist Charlie Kirk during a speech at a Utah college campus. We look back at Kirk's rise in conservative politics through Turning Point USA and the controversies that defined him. And in Europe, Russian drones crossing into Poland are testing NATO's limits and raising fears of a wider war.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Eric Westervelt, Megan Pratz, Kate Bartlett, Mohamad ElBardicy and Alice Woefle.It was produced by Ziad Buchh, Nia Dumas and Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.
