Christiane Amanpour

CNN's chief international correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, chairs this week's edition of 'International Correspondents'; CNN's weekly look at how the world's media cover the war on terror and its repercussions. The program goes on air at 1 pm today and tomorrow at 9 am.

The participants include Radio 4 presenter James Naughtie, the editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, the former BBC journalist and MP Martin Bell and the editor of Channel 5 news, Gary Rogers.

The episode investigates the impact of increasing media criticism of the US air strikes, asking whether the military action is taking too long or whether the media are losing their stomach for a long drawn out conflict.

'International Correspondents' is a half-hour programme on CNN every Saturday during the current crisis, bringing together some of the world's leading international journalists and media figures in a roundtable discussion on different aspects of the war against terror.
