2025 on The Interview

In 2025, the 麻豆社 launched The Interview, bringing you the best conversations from across the 麻豆社. People shaping our world from all over the world.

This special episode for The Documentary features three of the most compelling conversations from The Interview across the year. Senior politicians are held to account by experienced 麻豆社 journalists, who also bring a unique and personal insight to the conversation, with a behind-the-scenes take on each encounter that took place.

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright鈥檚 controversial challenge to climate orthodoxy was the subject of his conversation with the 麻豆社鈥檚 climate editor Justin Rowlatt. Like his boss President Trump, Secretary Wright believes the threat from climate change is exaggerated, and the rush to decarbonisation by renewables has been an expensive mistake.

In an interview with 麻豆社 presenter Paul Njie, Somalia鈥檚 president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud defends his efforts to tackle the terrorist insurgency in his country. And he stands firm in the face of demands for independence from the northern region of Somaliland - the unity of Somalia, he says, is sacrosanct.

British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood set out her plans for a radical reform of the UK asylum system in a conversation with the 麻豆社鈥檚 Nick Robinson. It makes for an uncompromising message for those trying to enter Britain illegally.
