G20 leaders are getting ready for a virtual summit hosted by Saudi Arabia this weekend. In anticipation, human rights organizations are calling for accountability for Jamal Khashoggi. His widow, Hatice Cengiz, famously waited for hours outside the consulate after he entered -- and he never emerged. Now she is calling on world leaders to boycott the Saudi summit, as she explains to Christiane.

The new documentary "The Dissident" traces Jamal Khashoggi’s life and career from insider to outcast -- and the harassment and monitoring of other critics of the Saudi regime. Director Bryan Fogel is well versed in challenging oppressive governments. His last feature "Icarus" exposed the Russian doping scandal and won an Oscar in 2018. He joins the program to reflect on Khashoggi's legacy.

The Trump administration’s strong support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been a hallmark of its foreign policy, with a particular point of unity being their common enemy: Iran. There are reports that President Trump has asked for options for an attack against Iran, as he seeks to cement a hardline stance against the Iranian regime.
