I mean he is very open to other people's opinions. And he's always willing to compromise and he is always, always listening. You know? So that would– kind of be the last thing that I would think of when I– talk about my husband, is big– big ego, because he– he just doesn't have that. So it's not much to check."

As China prepares for its most significant leadership transition in decades, CNN today announces the launch of its first ever regular series focused on the country, the first by any international television news network. The new monthly show hosted by CNN correspondent and anchor Kristie Lu Stout provides viewers with a unique insider’s view of China from within its own borders.
Shot on location in Hong Kong at the historic Hullett House, in each 30-minute show Lu Stout sits down with thought and business leaders from within China’s borders for a roundtable discussion about what really drives this world power and economic giant.
With China’s leadership transition expected within a month, the first episode delves into the Chinese Communist Party, exploring how membership is obtained, factions within the party, the personality traits of China’s presumed next leader, and the impact of the ongoing Bo Xilai scandal. At the table helping to demystify the Chinese Communist Party is Hung Huang, a celebrated Chinese media personality and publisher brought up among China’s political elite, Victor Gao, a former official in the Chinese Foreign Ministry and English translator for Deng Xiaoping and John Pomfret, award-winning journalist and China commentator.
Co-Chair of Commission on Presidential Debates Frank Fahrenkopf addresses the ongoing debate moderator controversies and tells CNN that the Commission on Presidential Debate (CPD), nor Candy Crowley, were a party to the Memorandum of Understanding between the campaigns.
Singer and songwriter Mika joins Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien to talk new album "Origin of Love" out today and the inspiration behind it. Mika later teaches Soledad how to sing.
Mika says, “I had done my second album, I was on the road for four and half years. And then I stopped and I didn’t know how to write again. Anyway, life happened. Things happened in life which kind of set off the writing process. And my sister, one night, on the first night that she moved into her new apartment, she was born disabled on one side and she’s weak on her left side. And she finally got her own place, and on her housewarming night, she had a horrific accident at three o clock in the morning."
O'Brien says, "She fell out of the window."
Mika continues, "Out of the fourth story. But she got caught by railings. So, it was pretty brutal because she got impaled on railings but that’s what saved her life. And I witnessed it, and I saw her at four AM and I just remember this silence, you know, an accident like that. All you remember is hush. That kind of woke me up and it kind of deconstructed by ego in almost every single way. Bizarrely, an album like The Origin of Love, which is this new album that is so joyful, is actually born out of, it started with something that was so tragic and dark. But she is doing well now. She spent a year and a half in hospital and she’s learning how to walk again.”
Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien airs weekday mornings from 7-9am ET on CNN.

Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) calls allegations by former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani of a cover up in U.S. Consulate attack in Libya "ludicrous."
Rep. Israel says, “With all due respect to Mayor Giuliani, when he makes accusations about this administration and cover up for not keeping the Benghazi facility safe... I would never say this, but some could suggest that when he was mayor of New York, why wasn't he better prepared to deal with 9/11? It’s just ludicrous.”
Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien airs weekday mornings from 7-9am ET on CNN.
