Christiane Amanpour, CBE (i/krɪstʃiˈɑːn ɑːmənˈpʊər-/; Persian: کریستین امانپور; born 12 January 1958) is a British-Iranian journalist and television host. Amanpour is the Chief International Correspondent for CNN and host of CNN International's nightly interview program Amanpour. Amanpour is also a Global Affairs Anchor of ABC News. As of 2014, she has been recognized as one of the journalists most world leaders follow on Twitter, according to a report by the PR firm Burson-Marsteller.
Born in London, England, Amanpour was raised in Tehran. Her father Mahmoud Amanpour is a Muslim from Iran; her mother Patricia is a Christian from England. She is fluent in English and Persian.
After completing the larger part of her elementary education in Iran, she was sent by her parents to boarding school in England when she was 11. She attended Holy Cross Convent, an all-girls school located in Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire, and then, at age 16, New Hall School, in Chelmsford, Essex. Christiane and her family returned to England not long after the Islamic Revolution began. She has stressed that they were not forced to leave the country, but were actually returning to England due to the Iran–Iraq War. The family ultimately remained in England, finding it difficult to return to Iran.
Amanpour. is a global affairs interview television program hosted by Christiane Amanpour, airing weeknights 2100 pm and 2130 pm CET and replay at 2300 pm and 2330 pm CET on CNN International (CNNI). The show also airs weekdays at 2am and 2:30am Eastern Time on CNN/US.
The weekday program has three segments. The first one is called The Brief, in which Amanpour tells a story from a different perspective, and often adds her personal experiences. The second one is typically an interview with a high profile news maker or politician, while the final segment is called Imagine a World, which is Amanpour's final thought on a topic that was not discussed on the show.
When Amanpour is reporting in the field, she anchors the entire program remotely.
The show has featured a number of high-profile interviews, including Joko Widodo, Robert Mugabe, Jacob Zuma, Queen Rania of Jordan, Son of Hamas author Mosab Hassan Yousef, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a rare joint interview with Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and Sec. of Defense Bob Gates, an unprecedented joint interview with the U.N. Ambassadors to India, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Mohamed ElBaradei, Hans Blix, NATO Secretary General Rasmussen, Gen. McChrystal, the first-ever joint interview with media power couple Tina Brown and Harry Evans, Gen. David Petraeus, and the then Vice President, now former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan.
The Cyrus Cylinder (Persian: استوانه کوروش) or Cyrus Charter (Persian: منشور کوروش) is an ancient clay cylinder, now broken into several fragments, on which is written a declaration in Akkadian cuneiform script in the name of Persia's Achaemenid king Cyrus the Great. It dates from the 6th century BCE and was discovered in the ruins of Babylon in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) in 1879. It is currently in the possession of the British Museum, which sponsored the expedition that discovered the cylinder. It was created and used as a foundation deposit following the Persian conquest of Babylon in 539 BC, when the Neo-Babylonian Empire was invaded by Cyrus and incorporated into his Persian Empire.
The text on the Cylinder praises Cyrus, sets out his genealogy and portrays him as a king from a line of kings. The Babylonian king Nabonidus, who was defeated and deposed by Cyrus, is denounced as an impious oppressor of the people of Babylonia and his low-born origins are implicitly contrasted to Cyrus's kingly heritage. The victorious Cyrus is portrayed as having been chosen by the chief Babylonian god Marduk to restore peace and order to the Babylonians. The text states that Cyrus was welcomed by the people of Babylon as their new ruler and entered the city in peace. It appeals to Marduk to protect and help Cyrus and his son Cambyses. It extols Cyrus as a benefactor of the citizens of Babylonia who improved their lives, repatriated displaced people and restored temples and cult sanctuaries across Mesopotamia and elsewhere in the region. It concludes with a description of how Cyrus repaired the city wall of Babylon and found a similar inscription placed there by an earlier king.

CNN's Christiane Amanpour has Tariq Ramadan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Naser Khadr discuss Is Islam on Trial. ALI: Islam is not a European religion. There are Muslims in Europe, and they bring Islam to Europe. Islam is a set of beliefs. It's a set of values. And what we are seeing in Europe is that there is conflict between the values of Europe and the values of Islam. And those Muslims who adapt, choose to adapt to the values of Europe will become Europeans, and they will be able to believe and to practice the religious dimension of their religion...

In the Now host Anissa Naouai was invited to discuss Media coverage and the situation in Ukraine on Amanpour with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. The version that aired on CNN was only a small portion of the actual discussion. A clumsy and visible video edit job is what audiences saw. Titled as "WAR OF WORDS" but the real debate was cut. CNN did publish what they called a full transcript on their website. But RT recorded ALL of Anissa’s answers. And it seems there were certain things they didn’t want their audience to hear. This video contains FULL answers given by Anissa Naouai to CNN on Thursday November 20 2014.
