CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour has expressed regret after invoking President Donald Trump’s “assault on values” during a segment commemorating Kristallnacht.

Ms Amanpour sought to clarify the comments on Monday during her late-night talk show “Amanpour & Company”, which airs on US public broadcaster PBS.
