The CIA director has just been to Moscow, just as his predecessor did weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. That warning was ignored. Will this one be? Channel 4 & LBC Presenter Matt Frei joins Christiane to explain why Putin might try to test NATO in the Baltics, and why European leaders aren't sure Trump would come to their defence.

Then: Estonia's spy chief says Putin could face a coup from his own inner circle. Christiane looks at the growing signs of unease around the Kremlin, and why what happened to Yevgeny Prigozhin is a warning to anyone who might try to oust the Russian President.

Plus: Mark Carney says Trump's trade demands amount to economic war, and most Canadians agree. Why has a former central banker stood up to Trump when other world leaders haven't? And with 30 countries now caught up in the Iran-US war, is this a 21st century world war?
