BREAKING. Amanpour snags Mugabe. CNN's Christiane Amanpour gets exclusive Robert Mugabe TV interview


You're reading it here first. This programming note - CNN just told me that Christiane Amanpour's secured an exclusive TV interview with Zimbabwe president, Robert Mugabe. Viewers can tune in to see it in Amanpour, Christiane Amanpour's new daily news show on Thursday night at 21:00 on CNN International (DStv 401).

Tomorrow night Christiane sits down for the exclusive interview, the African head of state's first with a Western TV channel in years,  to talk about rampant inflation, empty food shelves, whether power sharing is working, who he thinks is responsible for his country's economic and political turmoil and what it is that he wants from the international community.

After this rare interview, he's supposed to appear at the United Nations in New York on Friday.
