Amanpour: Sarah Chayes, Maleeha Lodhi, Larry Brilliant and Elliot Ackerman

Former journalist and U.S. military advisor Sarah Chayes joins Christiane Amanpour to discuss the ties that bind U.S. and Afghan societies. Former Pakistani ambassador to the U.S. and the UN Maleeha Lodhi says Pakistan would like to see the international community engage with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Then turning to the coronavirus pandemic, top epidemiologist Larry Brilliant discusses the potential for the Delta variant spread among children as many more schools are set to open in America. And then former marine and best-selling author Elliot Ackerman, who helped hundreds of Afghans escape in the last few weeks, talks about U.S. foreign policy going forward and Biden's legacy.
