ABC News’ Charles Gibson to Conduct Joint Interview with Bill & Melinda Gates

Interview to Air Tuesday, October 27 on “World News with Charles Gibson” and Across ABC News’ Platforms

ABC News’ Charles Gibson will conduct a joint interview with philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates on Tuesday, October 27. The Gates Foundation recently launched the Living Proof Project, a campaign to raise awareness about success stories of health initiatives around the globe. On Tuesday evening in Washington, D.C., the Gates will address policy makers, members of the international aid community, and a global audience via webcast, but first they’ll sit down with Gibson to discuss the real impact of U.S. investments around the world and why they consider themselves “impatient optimists” hoping to encourage even more action.

The interview will air on Tuesday, October 27 on “World News with Charles Gibson” and the “World News” webcast. The interview will also be featured across ABC News’ platforms, including the full interview on a special global health section at www.ABCNews.com/globalhealth (live later today). Videos from the Living Proof Project will also be available on the page.
