In a special interview, ‘Leading Women’ CNN has unique access to IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde in Washington DC, Peru and Chile. Lagarde talks to CNN anchor Gabriela Frias about why women can lead an organisation through a crisis; using her role on the world stage to change the global workforce; why she doesn’t want to be President of France and how she is coping with the ongoing political fraud case.
Lagarde is considered one of the world’s most powerful women. Forbes placed her in 5th position in their 2014 list for the most powerful women in the world. A woman of many firsts, Lagarde was the first woman to chair the global law firm Baker and McKenzie, the first female finance minister of France and the first woman to lead the IMF.
She talks to ‘Leading Women’ about the significance of being the first female leader of the IMF: “That’s the reason why I think I want to do a good job, because I don’t want to let my female colleagues around the globe down. I don’t want them to turn around to me and say, you know, ‘why did you make a mess out of it?’ So I feel an added burden and an added responsibility as a result of that.”
The special will be broadcast on CNN International on Wednesday January 28th at 1130 CET and 1830 CET

‘Open Court’ travels down under for the Australian Open 2015, as the world’s best women’s and men’s tennis players get ready for the first tennis grand slam of 2015 in Melbourne.
Pat Cash hosts the show and interviews past Australian Open winners, including champion Li Na. She first made headlines when she became the first ever Asian to win a grand slam singles title, before creating more headlines in October when she chose to retire from tennis. What’s next for one of the biggest pioneers in the 2014 sport?
Cash also meets with 2014 champion Stan Wawrinka, who will be defending his title. Wawrinka tells ‘Open Court’ he sees Serbian Novak Djokovic as favourite to win in 2015.
In the programme, Cash also speaks to Australia’s current number one player 19-year-old Nick Kyrgios. He broke onto the tennis scene last year, when he knocked out world number one Rafa Nadal at Wimbledon, but can he now live up to the hype surrounding him?
‘Open Court’ meets retired seven-time grand slam winner including four Australian Opens – Evonne Goolagong Cawley, as she opens up about her childhood within her Aboriginal family, which shaped her life, inspiring her success on court.
