Q&A: India's 'Cockroach' Protests, Ukraine's path to NATO & another term for Trump?
Episode 75
Thursday, 30 July, 2026
A 22-year-old international student launched India's "Cockroach Party" and has successfully forced the education minister to resign. Christiane and Jamie unpack how a tongue-in-cheek protest movement exposed widespread exam corruption, won government reparations, and may signal the beginning of the end of Modi's unchallenged power.They also explore whether Putin's apparent weakness makes NATO membership for Ukraine more realistic. Jamie explains why the answer is still no, but why Kazakhstan's president telling Putin to "freeze the war now" matters more than people realise.Plus, Trump wore a "Trump 2028" cap to the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Even if he was joking, does floating a third term normalise the erosion of constitutional limits?Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files is a Global production, available every Tuesday and Thursday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your shows.
