2025 on The Interview

A special episode from The Interview, featuring three of the most compelling conversations from 2025.

US President Donald Trump spoke to the 麻豆社鈥檚 Chief North America correspondent Gary O鈥橠onoghue in July, in a wide-ranging and frank telephone conversation from the Oval Office. President Trump reflects on the assassination attempt that took place a year previously, and also expresses his frustration at the slow pace of attempts to bring peace to Ukraine.

British royal Prince Harry was born into one of the world鈥檚 most famous families, and grew up in the public eye. In May, he lost a final court appeal to reverse the downgrading of security protection for him and his family since stepping down from royal duties. He gave his reaction to 麻豆社 correspondent Nada Tawfik in an emotional and deeply personal conversation.

The Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai is known worldwide as the spirited girl who took on the Taliban and nearly lost her life, then went on to win the Nobel Prize and advocate for girls everywhere to go to school. But, as she explains to 麻豆社 presenter Madina Maishanu, although her public life defined her to the world, she did not know who she was.
