Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

First up this week is Christiane's exclusive interview with the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and his response to President Trump threatening him with a 50% tariff and claims the Bolsonaro investigation is a "witch hunt." Then, Christiane talks to billionaire media mogul Barry Diller about his new book, Who Knew in which he bares all about his dysfunctional childhood, sexuality, climb to success and his love for fashion queen Diane von Furstenberg. CNN's Donie O'Sullivan reports on the latest chapter of Ireland's national trauma, with excavations beginning this week in Tuam, Ireland for the remains of nearly 800 babies and young children who disappeared from what are known as mother and baby homes — their remains hidden in a septic tank beneath a housing estate. Plus, CIA chronicler and Pullitzer Prize-winning journalist Tim Weiner speaks with Christiane about his new book, "The Mission," why America is especially threatened now, and what intelligence looks like in the age of Trump. As the world marks the 56th anniversary of Apollo 11's trip to the moon, from Christiane's archive, her interview with American Astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian Cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko from the International Space Station about how space travel made teams out of some of the world's most bitter rivals.

The leftist, who won his third term last month, is planning a series of meetings with national representatives in which he will outline plans to restore Brazil’s credibility as a partner in global efforts to stem warming, an aide said.

Lula narrowly defeats Bolsonaro to win Brazil presidency again Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva narrowly defeated President Jair Bolsonaro in a runoff election on Sunday (30 October) that marked a stunning comeback for the leftist former president and the end of Brazil’s most right-wing government in decades. An EU official said Lula would also meet on Wednesday with EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans. Lula arrived in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh early on Tuesday, ahead of his planned appearance at the climate talks on Wednesday when two of his advisers told Reuters he will deliver the message “Brazil is back”.

They said other countries know Brazil will soon have a Lula government that has promised to take the issue more seriously than Bolsonaro, a climate change sceptic. The negotiating position itself has been largely unchanged regardless of who has been in power. For example, Brazil under Lula is expected to continue pushing for rich nations with high greenhouse gas emissions to pay poor nations for historic damage to the climate, the diplomats said. Colombia’s Environment Minister Susana Muhamad said Lula’s election would allow renewed regional cooperation among Amazon rainforest nations to tackle deforestation, a m
