	Description:		As countries around the world try to adjust to a new normal, it's clear that there is no perfect blueprint for handling the coronavirus. Greece had remarkable early successes fighting the virus, but having now opened up to tourists, cases have surged and a new shutdown has been hurriedly implemented. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to discuss the pandemic, heightened tensions with neighboring Turkey and the ongoing migrant crisis. Then, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko continues to cling to power after a disputed election result and a week of protests. Igor Leshchenya, Belarusian Ambassador to Slovakia, explains why he chose to side with the people, tendering his resignation and denouncing Lukashenko. Our Walter Isaacson speaks to Ron Klain, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Biden, about the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and why he thinks it will cost Trump the presidency. Chair of the Democratic National Committee Tom Perez talks to Christiane about the unconventional format of this year’s event and how he thinks the presidential race is shaping up. And correspondent David Chalian speaks to Christiane about the latest from the virtual convention floor.
