3:20 pm
can see pictures of girls in beautiful dresses with tanks and armed men in the background . and armed men in the background. and the chef of the wagner group, he has said that they have already shut down a few russian army helicopters and some sources are saying that they are literally less than 500km away from moscow. so if they continue at the same rate, we should be awaiting them here in the city by night. and obviously they are taking action. authorities are taken action. russian president vladimir putin said that they will take anything to restore the constitutional order and we have already seen some military vehicles here on the streets and there is a lot of law enforcement in the state of emergency has been announced due to the counter—terrorist operation. and basically now they are just checking documents and on some streets, even creating barricades . so people creating barricades. so people are the wagner people to come . are the wagner people to come. so people are getting ready for eetehttet— so people are getting ready for potential fight— so people are getting ready for potential fight in— so people are getting ready for

3:22 pm
not. but this is what we are preparing for right now, getting constructing those barricades and the problem is that those people , the wagner people, they people, the wagner people, they are coming directly from their front lines . so they have a lot front lines. so they have a lot of combat experience . and of of combat experience. and of course, they outnumber by law enforcement and by the russian army. but the russian army, those who are here in moscow , those who are here in moscow, they don't have the same combat experience as wagner troops. so they can seen as a very, they can be seen as a very, very mighty force. is there a lot of support for the war in russia . support for the war in russia. well, first of all, we go with the— well, first of all, we go with the eeeetet— well, first of all, we go with the special military operation. otherwtee.— the special military operation. otherwise, otherwise- the special military operation. otherwise, otherwise ,- the special military operation. otherwise, otherwise, you can be sanction ed and i wouldn't say it's just it's a complicated situation. no, it's just very frustrating, to say the least. what is happening in russia right now, that's that's about it. well alexei, thank you very much for talking to us. i know it's obviously quite— w.rtw wrg at; i know it's obviously quite dangerous for it's obviously quite dangerous ter wee— it's obviously quite dangerous ter wee te— it's obviously quite dangerous ter wee te he— it's obviously quite dangerous for you to be talking to us with

3:29 pm
figures and to be honest, a lot of this is baloney. there was a this is a yougov survey. this is a yougov survey. _ this is a yougov survey. this is a yougov survey. £20 in a eeet-ee— a yougov survey. £20 in a second. um but the poll that really counts was the one in the uk when people took the local elections and that showed quite quite graphically when they were asked they out of the asked when they came out of the polling station, do they believe in net zero moving towards it? and just over that and it was just over 70% that did. was a rump of did. and there was a rump of about 10% that did not and everybody else was in between. so can in the uk it's so you can see in the uk it's heavily weighted as £120 heavily weighted as far as £120 is concerned. and not too is concerned. and not to go too far with this , but this might be far with this, but this might be two a row that i've two weeks in a row that i've agreed with. lois in terms of whether or not we should be putting onto backs of putting that onto the backs of the public, the answer the general public, the answer is we should not. this is is no, we should not. this is the government messing around and far right and kowtowing to the far right wing of the tory party excuse me. and that's the reason that they're wobbling around and not going very far very quickly. it needs a change. and i just ask
3:30 pm
lois, this . if there is going to lois, this. if there is going to be a £20 levy put on shouldn't shouldn't be directed at the fossil fuel industries. the ones that have actually caused the problems in the first place, the ones that are making the so the fossil fuel industry, which is responsible having cheap responsible for us having cheap and and actually and abundant energy and actually , you know, the wheels of commerce turning and people not freezing their own freezing to death in their own homes, that that fossil fuel industry. do you know what, jim? the industry. do you know what, jim? the-he— industry. do you know what, jim? the-he ht— industry. do you know what, jim? the-he ht we— industry. do you know what, jim? the-is, if we do— industry. do you know what, jim? the-is, if we do all- industry. do you know what, jim? the-is, if we do all the- the thing is, if we do all the these— the thing is, if we do all the thhmoe thet— the thing is, if we do all the things that you— the thing is, if we do all the things that you want and we're going— things that you want and we're tether-the— things that you want and we're going the blackouts, going to have the blackouts, w-erete— going to have the blackouts, we're _to have - going to have the blackouts, we're to have climate we're going to have climate teettewme— we're going to have climate lockdowns going we're going to have climate lockdowns-going end lockdowns and we're going to end up lockdowns and we're going to end we wtth— lockdowns and we're going to end ee whth whth— lockdowns and we're going to end ee whth whth e— lockdowns and we're going to end up with with a dim— lockdowns and we're going to end up with with a dim jail, which hmehtemtettw— up with with a dim jail, which incidentally, is— up with with a dim jail, which incidentally, is spoonerism of incidentally, is a spoonerism of weer— incidentally, is a spoonerism of weer . ht— incidentally, is a spoonerism of your name . it is,— incidentally, is a spoonerism of your name . c your name. it is, actually. yeah, sure. where are you getting that information? this one i prepared earlier. scare stowe— one i prepared earlier. scare eterw. he— one i prepared earlier. scare eterw. he he— one i prepared earlier. scare story, to be honest one i prepared earlier. t you think story, to be honest. you think it's a story, to be honest. you think he e eeee— story, to be honest. you think it's a scare story— story, to be honest. you think it's a scare story ?_ you think it's a scare story ? okay, so it's a scare story? okay, so tet-e— it's a scare story? okay, so tet-e teth— it's a scare story? okay, so let's talk about— it's a scare story? okay, so let's talk about hydrogen then , let's talk about hydrogen then, teee— let's talk about hydrogen then, because hydrogen seems to be the thew-re— because hydrogen seems to be the thew-re going— because hydrogen seems to be the they're going towards that . they're going towards that. rehe— they're going towards that. tehe he— they're going towards that. lois, is that— they're going towards that. lois, is that a— they're going towards that. lois, is that a wise move at ette — lois, is that a wise move at ette wett— lois, is that a wise move at all? well, do— lois, is that a wise move at all? well, do you- lois, is that a wise move at all? r:r:::r lois, is that a wise move at- all? well, do you know what the only thing that you can do to make hydrogen safe is to add another component to it. and
3:31 pm

other countries . if that proves other countries. if that proves true , then the regime is true, then the regime is definitely on the slide. but we shouldn't kid ourselves . any shouldn't kid ourselves. any rebellion would get rid of putin. i don't think the regime of kleptocratic thuggery is going anywhere anytime soon. prigozhin is the founder of the whether— prigozhin is the founder of the wagner mercenary group . so we're wagner mercenary group. so we're eetthhe— wagner mercenary group. so we're petthhe e— wagner mercenary group. so we're petthmo e ph— wagner mercenary group. so we're getting a bit overzealous. and the ether— getting a bit overzealous. and the other side— getting a bit overzealous. and the other side of— getting a bit overzealous. and the other side of it is if someone did- the other side of it is if someone did take over, so say eew— someone did take over, so say eew erhpezhhh— someone did take over, so say say prigozhin was— someone did take over, so say say prigozhin was successful, whet— say prigozhin was successful, whet ee— say prigozhin was successful, whet hhe— say prigozhin was successful, what are his views? i mean, is he weee— what are his views? i mean, is he theh— what are his views? i mean, is he worse than putin? well, i thhht— he worse than putin? well, i think everybody's going to have a readjustment— think everybody's going to have a readjustment of— think everybody's going to have a readjustment of views in heee— a readjustment of views in theeeew ht— a readjustment of views in moscow if somebody else takes . there-e— moscow if somebody else takes over . there's no— moscow if somebody else takes over . wehe; w moscow if somebody else takes over . w over. there's no question about that. over. there's no question about that . but the over. there's no question about that. but the basic regime survival tactic is to keep hold of power as long as you can. and prigozhin will either see himself as a kingmaker or somebody who's going to enforce the will of the new leader . and the will of the new leader. and so part of this rebellion, i believe, is about prigozhin trying to distance himself and
3:42 pm
maybe his boss, putin, from the failures in ukraine. i think there's a real attempt to push there's a real attempt to push the blame onto the military leadership under shoigu and gerasimov . and knowing russian gerasimov. and knowing russian politics as i do , there may be politics as i do, there may be a lot more going on under the surface than we think . on the surface than we think. on the surface, we think putin's in trouble and he may well be, but this may also be an attempt to disassociate putin from the war in ukraine. but you noticed that he that prigozhin has not actually criticised putin. he's saying that evil counsellors that are near him, this has shades of russia throughout the centuries and indeed throughout britain's middle ages. it's always evil counsellors . you always evil counsellors. you criticise not the monarch, but but i mean since the war began there's been i mean the tally of deaths is huge. if you look at teet— deaths is huge. if you look at teet h— deaths is huge. if you look at reet h meem— deaths is huge. if you look at just i mean the— deaths is huge. if you look at just i mean the us— : w.ge; if you look at just i mean the us defence intelligence— just i mean the us defence intelligence agency did a tally and intelligence agency did a tally eht thew— intelligence agency did a tally eht thew eeht— intelligence agency did a tally and they said that russia eetteret— and they said that russia suffered in— and they said that russia suffered in the region of

3:44 pm
actually tap that in all these situations . it's the person that situations. it's the person that loses their nerve first who actually loses the battle . so we actually loses the battle. so we need to see who is going to lose their nerve. but significantly, we're seeing some regime people at the lower level deputy minister level, they're fleeing the country at the moment and that's quite significant, to tell the truth. that hasn't happened up until now . so that happened up until now. so that itself all i'm saying now is, you know, this is not a linear process. it's very complex and there's all sorts of issues . there's all sorts of issues. there's disinformation and information. we need to hold judgement at the moment i would say i would say that the chances of prigozhin being successful are low. there are immense depth in russia. interesting . in russia. interesting. interesting.— w 7 interesting. interesting. well, we'll ehwheeetw— interesting. well, we'll obviously follow the story. hheht— obviously follow the story. hheht wee— obviously follow the story. thank you very- obviously follow the story. thank you very much for your thet.— thank you very much for your view. that, of— thank you very much for your view. that, of course, is chris herrw. — view. that, of course, is chris herrw. he— view. that, of course, is chris herrw. he he-e— view. that, of course, is chris herrw. he he-e e— view. that, of course, is chris perry. he he's a former royal heww— perry. he he's a former royal heww ettheer— perry. he he's a former royal navy officer and— perry. he he's a former royal navy officer and rear admiral. verw— navy officer and rear admiral. herw-te— navy officer and rear admiral. herw-te teth— navy officer and rear admiral. very-to talk-you. - navy officer and rear admiral. very to talk you. well, very good to talk to you. well, tet-e— very good to talk to you. well, tet-e-te— very good to talk to you. well, tet-e-te thhe- very good to talk to you. well, let's to this because let's move on to this because eeeerthme— let's move on to this because according-reports- let's move on to this because according reports of a former according to reports of a former emptewee— according to reports of a former emptewee et— according to reports of a former employee of oceangate, because, i employee of oceangate, because, h-wee— employee of oceangate, because, i-was transfixed- employee of oceangate, because, i-was transfixed by- employee of oceangate, because, i was transfixed by the i mean, i was transfixed by the eterw— i mean, i was transfixed by the eterwltmew— i mean, i was transfixed by the eterwltmewltet— i mean, i was transfixed by the story.iknowllot of- i mean, i was transfixed by the story. know lot of you were story. i know a lot of you were

societally, that it's about warnings that were ignored . warnings that were ignored. well, it does seem that way. so eheett— well, it does seem that way. so eheett we— well, it does seem that way. so should we leave— well, it does seem that way. so should we leave the site alone mew— should we leave the site alone he— should we leave the site alone he ht— should we leave the site alone now? is it time— should we leave the site alone now? is it time to— should we leave the site alone now? is it time to leave the theme— now? is it time to leave the titanic alone— now? is it time to leave the titanic alone after it's claimed the— titanic alone after it's claimed the mere— titanic alone after it's claimed five more lives?— titanic alone after it's claimed five more lives? to— titanic alone after it's claimed five more lives? to discuss, i'm tehhet— five more lives? to discuss, i'm rehhet hw— five more lives? to discuss, i'm joined by former— five more lives? to discuss, i'm joined by former submarine commander author david commander and author david hehew. — commander and author david hehew. -whet- commander and author david mckay. _what do- commander and author david mckay. what do you think mckay. david, what do you think eheet— mckay. david, what do you think eheet thhe— mckay. david, what do you think about this this— mckay. david, what do you think about this this whole incident? verw— about this this whole incident? very—somewhat- very tragic, but somewhat teethertw— very tragic, but somewhat foolhardy for— very tragic, but somewhat foolhardy for people to get onto eeeh — foolhardy for people to get onto eeeh e— foolhardy for people to get onto such a contraption— foolhardy for people to get onto such a contraption in the first pteee— such a contraption in the first pteee-te— such a contraption in the first pteee-te wee- such a contraption in the first place. do you think? yeah, place. what do you think? yeah, wett— place. what do you think? yeah, weh .— place. what do you think? yeah, wett . thew— place. what do you think? yeah, weh . thew ee— place. what do you think? yeah, well , they are definitely trying well, they are definitely trying to well, they are definitely trying te he— well, they are definitely trying to be innovators— well, they are definitely trying to be innovators and push the heehterhee— to be innovators and push the heehterhee. — to be innovators and push the boundaries . �*ft�*e; : boundaries. we've made submarines out of metal for a long time. metal is ductile , long time. metal is ductile, which means that it starts to bend a little bit before it breaks. you put a of breaks. when you put a bunch of books on bookshelf, it books on your bookshelf, it starts and you put too starts to curve and you put too many it'll finally break. many on. it'll finally break. carbon fibre is a different type of material. we call it brittle , so the way carbon fibre behavesis , so the way carbon fibre behaves is it's rigid, rigid, rigid, rigid and then boom, catastrophic failure. and here we were actually mating metal, titanium bells to carbon fibre
3:47 pm
tube and i would think the investigators are going to look at how that carbon fibre reacted to those deep repeated pressure and release and the interface there. so basically what you're saying is it was actually just a matter of time before that would have happened anyway . yeah, we have happened anyway. yeah, we know if you operate a submarine underwater for a long time, what happens is you compress it and you freeze it and then you bring it back up and it warms up and it back up and it warms up and it relaxes. we say the metal relaxes or the ship relaxes. and so you're going through these repeated cycles of compression and freezing and relaxing and warming and we use the same metal basically that we used in world war one and two for building submarines. so we have a long history for understanding how those metals respond. so it could go down once, could go down twice, go down three down twice, could go down three times. but times. everything's fine. but you're this little you're creating this little tiny minute fractures, little tiny minute fractures, little tiny minute cracks . and at those
3:48 pm
minute cracks. and at those pressures , it just takes a pressures, it just takes a minute crack or a fracture to cause catastrophic failure. is there anything that is there anything that could be eeet— there anything that could be eeet thet— there anything that could be used that wouldn't go through thet— used that wouldn't go through that because— used that wouldn't go through that because they used the rehete. — that because they used the rehete. the— that because they used the robots. the robots went down and thew— robots. the robots went down and thew eemet— robots. the robots went down and thew eemet te— robots. the robots went down and they seemed to be— robots. the robots went down and they seemed to be fine with it. so they seemed to be fine with it. se whet— they seemed to be fine with it. se whet ee— they seemed to be fine with it. so what are the— they seemed to be fine with it. so what are the robots that went tewh— so what are the robots that went teem-ep— so what are the robots that went tewh-ep the — so what are the robots that went down - up the pieces- so what are the robots that went down up the pieces made down to pick up the pieces made out down to pick up the pieces made eetle — down to pick up the pieces made eetle tm— down to pick up the pieces made out.? i'm guessing- down to pick up the pieces made out ? 3 w; out of? i'm guessing they're made out of metal. i don't know for sure, but they're also much smaller. so the, the tubes inside the robot are just trying to protect, say, for example, a camera or a light or a cable. it's a much simpler problem with a robot than for a hole. something caring human beings. what kind of weight, then, if you were to visualise the sort of weight that was that pressure that that little thing was under there, what what kind of weight? i mean, somebody mentioned like lots i mean, somebody mentioned like tete et— i mean, somebody mentioned like tete et wertt — i mean, somebody mentioned like lots of world trade— i mean, somebody mentioned like lots of world trade centres on top— lots of world trade centres on tep et— lots of world trade centres on tep et ht.— lots of world trade centres on tep et ht. tet— lots of world trade centres on top of it, but what kind of pressure would- top of it, but what kind of pressure would would it take for thet— pressure would would it take for thet te— pressure would would it take for thet te heppeme— pressure would would it take for that to happen? yeah these are theee— that to happen? yeah these are theee ee— that to happen? yeah these are these are pressures beyond what we-hermehw— these are pressures beyond what we normally conceive your we can normally conceive your the— we can normally conceive your the three— we can normally conceive your the three eh— we can normally conceive your the tires on your— we can normally conceive your the tires on your car are are

3:51 pm
wrote a book called how to be a politician. that explains in a semi—satirical way how i and other people get launched on political careers. i think mine was a slightly odd way because i my father had diametrically opposed very right wing views as this was back in the 50s, was a very strong defender of the empire . and, you know, britain's empire. and, you know, britain's intervention in suez and i was a teenager and i started arguing with him and my best friend at school was on the other extreme as a sort of communist revolution . and i started revolution. and i started arguing with him and i saw i found myself in a kind of middle of the road just debating with people who were close to me. but but getting actively involved didn't really. i was at university. i was active in the cambridge union , so i dealt with cambridge union, so i dealt with a lot of the ken clarke's norman lamont people, my contemporaries . but i really only got engaged in political activity when i lived in glasgow. i became a glasgow city councillor. i was labourin glasgow city councillor. i was labour in those days and in my
3:52 pm
20s sort of heavily involved in running one of britain's big cities . so that was a running one of britain's big cities. so that was a real university of life experience. but then of course labour had a civil war in the 80s. i split off , i joined civil war in the 80s. i split off, i joined roy jenkins and shirley williams in the sdp and i didn't eventually become an mp till i was in my mid 50s when a lot of people are thinking about retirement , what do you make of retirement, what do you make of the mps at the moment and the behaviour that's going on in parliament and the political. well, it's easy for people to teet— well, it's easy for people to teet teet— well, it's easy for people to look back and— well, it's easy for people to look back and say everything has tehe— look back and say everything has gone tewhhhh— look back and say everything has gone downhill since i left. i'm ht-e— gone downhill since i left. i'm he met. — gone downhill since i left. i'm sure it's not. it— gone downhill since i left. i'm sure it's not. it has— gone downhill since i left. i'm sure it's not. it has actually been, to be honest. they've been unfortunate that of course the pandemic totally disrupted the kind of, you know, personal back and forth intimacy that you need in parliament. it's been totally absorbed with the brexit experience and continued disruption with three prime ministers within a year. i mean, it's a very different
3:53 pm
environment from the one i was in where we had 13 years of tony blair and gordon brown, which , blair and gordon brown, which, you know, they did lots of stuff, some things i disagree with, like the iraq war, but it was a stable government that was doing stuff. and we had five years of the coalition that i was at the heart of. and again, another period of stable government. it's government. and since then it's been very uneven . what do you been very uneven. what do you mete— been very uneven. what do you mete et— been very uneven. what do you make of what's— been very uneven. what do you make of what's going- req c. what do you make of what's going on now in teeehe— make of what's going on now in hteeehe whth— make of what's going on now in russia with regard— make of what's going on now in russia with regard to everything thet-e— russia with regard to everything there heppehhho— russia with regard to everything that's happening ? of course, that's happening? of course, tet. — that's happening? of course, we've got. well,- that's happening? of course, we've got. well, i- that's happening? of course, we've got. �*ftr�*ecc : w c we've got. well, i don't think any of us really know what we do know is there's a mutiny going on and we also know that putin has been sufficiently weakened by this disastrous war that his regime is now fragile . but i regime is now fragile. but i think we should be careful what we wish for, because if he comes out on top, he'll be even more paranoid , inclined to lash out paranoid, inclined to lash out in all directions. and if the other guy prigozhin and his people, i mean , they're an people, i mean, they're an unknown quantity, but we know he's violent and unpredictable
3:54 pm
and extreme in the way he operates. so we may be dealing with people who are even more difficult and violent and dangerous than we have in the past, sometimes better the devil you know, even if that devil. well, i wouldn't go so far as to say— well, i wouldn't go so far as to eew we— well, i wouldn't go so far as to say we welcome— well, i wouldn't go so far as to say we welcome it. but no, but you— say we welcome it. but no, but you know, it's a very worrying time in the world at the moment as well. and also in the peththeet— and also in the political spectrum. are you teethht— political spectrum. are you teethht et— political spectrum. are you looking at the— political spectrum. are you looking at the political situation _ looking at the political situation now? do you think it's a situation now? do you think it's e teet— situation now? do you think it's e teet eeet— situation now? do you think it's a dead cert that— situation now? do you think it's a dead cert that the labour party— a dead cert that the labour hertw wht— a dead cert that the labour party will win— a dead cert that the labour party will win the next general eteethehe— party will win the next general eteethehe he.— party will win the next general election? no, it's— party will win the next general election? no, it's very unpredictable . �*7 election? no, it's very— unpredictable . i mean, if i were unpredictable. i mean, if i were going to a bookmaker, i would put money on them winning, but not with sufficient numbers to form a government. and i think we may well find ourselves with minority government and that leaves the way open to conversations with opposition parties . it conversations with opposition parties. it may open the way i mean, i you know, many of us remember the 1970s as we where the government waits three months or six months and has a second election. we could be in

4:08 pm
then later that year, they overthrew the interim government because the soldiers were sick and of fighting. and tired of fighting. ironically all of this was happening during the first world war and as history seems to dictate, it would seem that this is the best time to carry out a revolution there is a war. revolution when there is a war. now, bolsheviks , they now, the bolsheviks, they murdered the royal family and installed lenin as their leader. and that's communism began. and that's when communism began. peace bread was his slogan, peace land bread was his slogan, of course . as communism of course. as communism collapsed in 1991 under mikhail gorbachev . but my point is this gorbachev. but my point is this perhaps what's happened here is something similar to what happenedin something similar to what happened in 1917. maybe the russians are sick and tired of fighting . maybe they're sick of fighting. maybe they're sick of death . but since the war began, death. but since the war began, according to an assessment by the us defence intelligence agency, russia has suffered somewhere in the region of 189,000 dead to 223,000 total casualties and that includes 35,000 to 43,000 killed in action. and . 154,000 to 180,000
4:09 pm
action. and. 154,000 to 180,000 wounded. and ukraine gain, on the other hand, has suffered 124,000 to 131,000 total casualties, including 15,000 to 17,000 killed in action and 109,000 to 113,000 wounded in action. and that is according to action. and that is according to a document entitled russia ukraine assessed combat sustainability and attrition . sustainability and attrition. now the figures are around ten times bigger than any public casualty figures that have been published by either moscow or kyiv. but neither side gives timely data on military losses . timely data on military losses. so in truth, their real numbers are considerably higher. the devastation doesn't bear thinking of people being displaced, raped and murdered, lives destroyed , families on lives destroyed, families on both sides torn apart . and for both sides torn apart. and for what? nobody can be happy with this surely in the bible it says that we are merely stewards of the earth. it's simply our job the earth. it's simply ourjob to pass it on to the next generation because everybody loses in war. now, i'm sure many like me, are hoping that this is
4:10 pm
the end of putin, but who's to say what will follow will be any better . so before we get stuck better. so before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate. this hour. i'm asking is it time to leave the titanic in peace? according to the reports, a former employee of oceangate raised safety about the doomed safety concerns about the doomed titan in 2018. titan submersible back in 2018. now this comes as five people on board the vessel died after what was described as a catastrophic implosion. and now the titanic has claimed a further five lives more and that is over a century later. is it time to stop it? exploration altogether? then at 450, it's my royal roundup time. royal biographer angela levin will be live in the studio to give us the latest from behind the palace walls. and according give us the latest from behind thtauthore walls. and according give us the latest from behind thtauthor tom.ls. and according give us the latest from behind thtauthor tom bower, according give us the latest from behind thtauthor tom bower, the ording give us the latest from behind thtauthor tom bower, the duke| to author tom bower, the duke and duchess of sussex are planning to change their last name , spencer to spencer , in name, spencer to spencer, in a bid to princess diana .

4:17 pm
really whether this is a triggering event and the real determinant of whether putin goes or prigozhin goes is really who stays loyal or defects. if the army stay loyal to putin, he's still okay. but the tsar makers and all of this have always been the intelligence and security services. that's the fsb, the successor agency to the kgb , the gru and the svr . now, kgb, the gru and the svr. now, at the moment, from what we've seen with the pronouncements of the fsb that there is a warrant out for prigozhin's arrest, the fsb that there is a warrant out for prigozhin's arrest , that out for prigozhin's arrest, that would seem to suggest that they're on putin's side. so it's whether those elements are loyal or defect that will determine where this goes . you said fsb, where this goes. you said fsb, whet— where this goes. you said fsb, whet teee— where this goes. you said fsb, what does that— where this goes. you said fsb, what does that stand- he; 3 you said fsb, what does that stand for, the rep.— what does that stand for, the the. wee— what does that stand for, the rep. wee eeht— what does that stand for, the fsb, you said the— what does that stand for, the fsb, you said the federal seeerhtw— fsb, you said the federal security bureau. so that is the successor agency to the kgb. so they're the ones who've always had skin in the game. on all those things that you mentioned earlier on about who's taken overin earlier on about who's taken over in the 90s and yeltsin and all that sort of stuff. so they
4:18 pm
are the absolute tsar makers in all so defect or stay all of this. so defect or stay loyal that will be the key determinant. but there's one key thing in this, and that is that putin's domestic authority has been undermined . this has been a been undermined. this has been a running sore with prigozhin for a of months where he's a number of months where he's been pushing the boundaries and putin let this slip and escalate with no timely response. so he's weakened significantly this . weakened significantly by this. but the word of caution here is that we used to say in the west that we used to say in the west that we used to say in the west that we didn't merely have a putin problem, but a putin problem, but we had a russian problem that is all those for power think the those vying for power think the same. now see that russia same. we now see that russia also has a russia problem , at also has a russia problem, at least in the same term. but prigozhin isn't, you know, he's not in favour of the west. i mean, he seeks to catalyse a nationalist rebirth in russia. he may suggest west that, you know, russia is defeated in the short term in order to catalyse everything for a future victory. for example , he said that on the for example, he said that on the 25th of may, which is when he should have been shut down by by
4:19 pm
putin, that they need to mobilise the manpower and they need to mobilise everything with the workers and live like north korea for a number of years. so this is a bad, bad guy. so don't, don't, don't think that just putin goes that he won't be succeeded by someone who's as bad or not worse. and the catalogue of people who might succeed him are pretty bad people. there's no sort of west leaning liberal opposition there waiting to take over at the moment unless there is an absolute strategic defeat of russia. well, absolute strategic defeat of russia . well, that's that was my russia. well, that's that was my pehht— russia. well, that's that was my pehht h— russia. well, that's that was my pehht h mete— russia. well, that's that was my point i made earlier,— t well, that's that was my point i made earlier, actually, thet— point i made earlier, actually, that potentially— point i made earlier, actually, that potentially what you could hewe — that potentially what you could hewe eeett— that potentially what you could have could even— that potentially what you could have could even be worse . but have could even be worse. but het— have could even be worse. but het hhtet— have could even be worse. but but nigel mentioned that preoreeehem— but nigel mentioned that progression actually is a eepperter— progression actually is a eepperter et— progression actually is a supporter of putin. he does eeppert— supporter of putin. he does eeppert htethm— supporter of putin. he does support putin. so even though he-e— support putin. so even though he-e merehhht— support putin. so even though he's marching there with an em.— he's marching there with an army he-e— he's marching there with an army, he's somebody who has not eeht— army, he's somebody who has not eeht emwthhht— army, he's somebody who has not said anything bad— army, he's somebody who has not said anything bad about putin wet.— said anything bad about putin wet. he— said anything bad about putin wet. he wee— said anything bad about putin wet. he e— said anything bad about putin yet. he was a supporter of putin enth— yet. he was a supporter of putin emtht the— yet. he was a supporter of putin until the announcement from htethm— until the announcement from pete the— until the announcement from putin this morning . he;r?c putin this morning. his real gripe— putin this morning. his real gripe whth— putin this morning. his real gripe with the military chain of command, both the defence ministry of shoygu and gerasimov, the theatre commander
4:20 pm
, that they weren't prosecuting the war in a way which was satisfactory to an outcome for russia's russia's favour. so he was really going to try and get those was sacked already by putin. the fact that putin came out this morning and said, you're the bad dude and we're going to deal with you, that's when he's changed. for example, his telegram channel output significantly. so again , to significantly. so again, to think he's on putin's side now, it would be wrong. and that's what is changing in the last day as we will see other things changing in the next day. i think and briefly, we've think and very briefly, we've got 20s left media got about 20s left russian media outlets. that outlets. they're reporting that the hepetw— outlets. they're reporting that the deputy prime— they're reporting that the deputy prime minister, denis hehterew— the deputy prime minister, denis hehterew-teet— the deputy prime minister, denis manturov,-just left- the deputy prime minister, denis manturov, just left russia manturov, has just left russia for manturov, has just left russia tet-.— manturov, has just left russia ter-. thet— manturov, has just left russia for-. that sounds- for turkey. that sounds like me— for turkey. that sounds like me eeret— for turkey. that sounds like he's scared .— for turkey. that sounds like he's scared . he's running he's scared. he's running eeret— he's scared. he's running eeret he-e— he's scared. he's running scared. he's getting out of there— scared. he's getting out of there-teee- scared. he's getting out of there case somebody is there just in case somebody is eemhmt— there just in case somebody is eemhht-hhm. - there just in case somebody is coming-him. it- there just in case somebody is coming him. c t: coming to get him. it could be eeem.— coming to get him. it could be again, plays the again, this plays into the defect stayed loyal . the defect or stayed loyal. the elite being around putin for elite of being around putin for 24 years. they've got to buy into the regime. prigozhin doesn't have an elite base at the moment . doesn't have an elite base at the moment. i'd say that putin is in the ascendancy , but it

been missing since last sunday. having lost contact with its surface support ship just an hour and 45 minutes into its dive . now, the vessel run by a dive. now, the vessel run by a company called oceangate, offers customers chances to visit the wreck for around £200,000. and the tragedy immediately led to calls for stricter regulation and for deep sea dives such as these, particularly as it's emerging that the ceo of oceangate repeatedly dismissed sevilla safety concerns around the sub. he was, of course, on board, but is it now time to forget exploration to the site altogether? and finally, just leave the wreck of the century old disaster in peace ? so the old disaster in peace? so the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, is it time to leave the titanic in peace? i'm joined now by political commentator matthew stadlen, spokesperson for the british titanic society. martin tweeting him and martin blythe tweeting him and former labour mp denis macshane . okay, so i'm going to start then with you to try to read this. let me see. martin. martin blythe, please talk to me about

5:08 pm
suppued and the only proof he has supplied so far is a video with some what, some what some have called a fake already . and called a fake already. and initially the goal of the wagner offence was to hold a russian defence ministry officials, as sergey shoygu , the minister of sergey shoygu, the minister of defence, and his vice minister, mr gerasimov, accountable for what prigozhin has called a bad management of the special military operation . after his military operation. after his demands were obviously declared , were obviously denied by the kremlin, has been accused of an armed coup d'etat and he has been called a traitor. he's been accused of stabbing the russian troops in the back. mr prigozhin came up with a new objective , came up with a new objective, which is now nothing less than the change of the regime here in moscow. and he is troops are about 500km away from the russian capital. and as you can see, there is there is there is no panic. but but as you said , no panic. but but as you said, the counter terrorists operate . the counter terrorists operate. the regime has been declared. so there is extra law enforcement
5:09 pm
on the streets of moscow and it's an atmosphere of intense anticipation . i would say there anticipation. i would say there is no panic, but it's pretty tense in the russian capital right now. so what are some of the teeehtte— right now. so what are some of the possible scenarios- ” g“. so what are some of the possible scenarios of how the— the possible scenarios of how this conflict— the possible scenarios of how this conflict might actually end ? this conflict might actually end e hte— this conflict might actually end t he tee— this conflict might actually end ? it's too early— this conflict might actually end ? it's too early to— this conflict might actually end ? it's too early to tell- this conflict might actually end ? it's too early to tell because even though we could have expected this, everyone is in shock right now. yesterday nobody would be able to say that today , we would see a full scale today, we would see a full scale offensive on moscow, the russian caphal offensive on moscow, the russian capital. so how can be it can it can be anything. it can be the first day of the russian civil war or the wagner troops day because they outnumbered certainly by russian by the russian army . the difference is russian army. the difference is that the wagner private militia is quite a mighty force because they have a lot of combat experience. and according to mr prigozhin himself, he has 25,000 soldiers, although military analysts say it's something around 10,000, it's still a an immense force and some people are saying it might go as far as
5:10 pm
we might see, some some fights on the streets of moscow tonight, but some people say it's going to end pretty for soon prigozhin and his private military company. so if we sort of follow this through because he's outnumbered, prigozhin is outnumbered just what awaits him after the conflict at again, there are all different sorts of theories on this one. some people are saying that he might simply get eliminated. some people say he will go to jail, but for sure he has crossed the point of no return and there is no there is no compromise solution for this one. already, the russian president, vladimir putin, has publicly called him a traitor, comparing actually the situation to what russia faced in 1917 with with with the bolshevik revolution and he said that now all all the possible measures to reinforce the constitutional order will be taken and all people guilty of this attempt to die will be held

in other words, printing money into the economy when clearly he shouldn't have. and that's what caused a lot of the problems that we've got today. so first point you made. yes yes. they waited way too long. they should have raised interest rates very gradually over years. you gradually over the years. you don't it all 13 times on don't dump it all 13 times on the head of people over a 12 month period . number two, i month period. number two, i think i also have to correct, if i may , everybody is talking i may, everybody is talking about, oh, you know, grow up. come on, chill out . i mean, come on, chill out. i mean, interest rates were 14, 15% back. well, yeah, go read the leeds building society and the other reports that will tell you and i hope you're all sitting a 6% is actually a 6.4% mortgage today is the equivalent, they say , of a 25.7% mortgage in say, of a 25.7% mortgage in 1980. can you imagine a mortgage at 25.8? 0.7. so there's a lot of waffle being thrown around that clouds the picture here.

5:28 pm
rates were cut just as much in other countries. and the interesting thing is that if you look at europe, for example, the european central bank had kept interest rates negative until last july after we had been raising our rates. we put them up first before even the federal reserve started doing so . they reserve started doing so. they only started doing it then , and only started doing it then, and yet they now have a lot lower inflation than we do. quite a lot of the countries in europe have inflation, which is half what we've got. so it isn't that it isn't the extra money supply really that did it. it's just the structure of the economy. and i'm sorry to have to say that nana a little bit of brexit in there as well. i've found unen— in there as well. i've found when somebody— in there as well. i've found when somebody is- " ”rzz; i've found when somebody is going to, it's envoys— when somebody is going to, it's always brexit's_ when somebody is going to, it's always brexit's fault. ricardo bronco.— always brexit's fault. ricardo bronco-vee- — always brexit's fault. ricardo blanco.-yes. i- always brexit's fault. ricardo blanco. yes. z always brexit's fault. ricardo- blanco.-yes. i mean, i come blanco. yes yes. i mean, i come at this more from a sort of property and mortgages angle. of course . and i would say, you of course. and i would say, you know,— of course. and i would say, you know, rnor— of course. and i would say, you know, that this— of course. and i would say, you know, that this main lever that the know, that this main lever that rne—ore- know, that this main lever that rne—ore rryrnpi the bank of england are trying to the bank of england are trying ro purr,— the bank of england are trying ro pup, unen— the bank of england are trying to pull, which is— the bank of england are trying to pull, which is to raise rnrereer— to pull, which is to raise interest rates,- to pull, which is to raise interest rates, to bring down rnrrorron— interest rates, to bring down inflation,.not_ interest rates, to bring down inflation,.not as- interest rates, to bring down inflation, not as effective inflation, is not as effective as n— inflation, is not as effective as rr-ro— inflation, is not as effective as rr-ro pe. — inflation, is not as effective as rr-ro pe. - inflation, is not as effective as it-to be. 20- inflation, is not as effective

as it to be. $90 herzr3”; inflation, is not as effective- as it-to be. 20 years ago, as it used to be. 20 years ago, 70% of people were on variable rate mortgages. now only 15% of people are on variable rate mortgages. about a million people will come off fixed rates in the next year. now, two years ago, the average two year fixed rate was 1.4. it's now 5.4% or more. so we will see the effect of that increase release of interest rates at the bank of england has put in place, but it's taking a lot longer now and the effect is much slower. and i think that's one of the problems really with with what the bank of england is trying do. of england is trying to do. it doesn't have kind of doesn't have that kind of immediate it might immediate effect as it might have some years ago. that's have had some years ago. that's an interesting point— have had some years ago. that's an interesting point that- “r3r: 3 that's an interesting point that you more.— an interesting point that you more. so— an interesting point that you make. so roger,— an interesting point that you make. so roger, is should the governmen— make. so roger, is should the government then— make. so roger, is should the government then stepping in government then be stepping in like government then be stepping in nee-nrrn— government then be stepping in like _with covm- government then be stepping in like with covid and like they did with covid and none— like they did with covid and doing-handouts- like they did with covid and- doing-handouts-things doing some handouts and things like doing some handouts and things nee-e— doing some handouts and things nee-e re— doing some handouts and things like-? is that— doing some handouts and things like-? is that is— doing some handouts and things like ? is that is that like that? is that is that i rnrnk— like that? is that is that i rnrnk rney— like that? is that is that i think they should i don't think rney— think they should i don't think they-handouts. . think they should i don't think they-handouts. i. think they should i don't think- they-handouts. i spoke they should do handouts. i spoke on run— they should do handouts. i spoke on this channel— they should do handouts. i spoke on this channel yesterday actually about six things that are easy fixes that the government should be doing. but one of them and it's a point that our two colleagues haven't
5:30 pm
mentioned is that we don't have the same kind of inflation in the same kind of inflation in the uk as the other countries that vicky has mentioned. have and that's why their inflation is going down and ours is going up. that's why it is such an idiotic mistake to make rise after rise after rise. what football manager i keep saying would walk onto the pitch for the 13th game with the playbook for which he lost the last 12 and believe allowed to stay there. it's absurd. we have what's called cost push inflation. it's not consumer driven. people are not overspending as they are , for overspending as they are, for example, in the states where they have have their inflation. it's below 5. ours keeps going up here. people are heating, eating. we're not overspending . eating. we're not overspending. you don't drive down people's spending when they're not spending when they're not spending by crushing them with the burden of extra interest rates. so what do you do then, roger?— rates. so what do you do then, roger? vou— rates. so what do you do then, roger? you leave— so what do you do then, roger? you leave them as they rn— roger? you leave them as they rn 2009.— roger? you leave them as they are. in 2009, we— roger? you leave them as they are. “ $2009 roger? you leave them as they are. ’“ $9009 wu�*rzz”rz; '“ roger? you leave them as they are. “ $2009 “ roger? you leave them as they are. “$2009 z“ are. in 2009, we were in a very similar situation regarding oil pnces similar situation regarding oil prices as and the then prices as such, and the then managers of the bank of england

battled, hardened, professional fighters. now in terms of his popularity in russia, he isn't really he doesn't really have much support amongst the russian people. he's basically seen as someone who rose to wealth and rose to prominence through this war. so what people are really making the distinction between is whether this is a problem between prigozhin and putin or prigozhin and somebody else. of course , prigozhin has mentioned course, prigozhin has mentioned that valery gerasimov, which is the chief of the general staff of the russian army, and sergey shoygu, the minister of defence for russia, have ordered an attack to destroy his men. now this isn't about prigozhin and putin at all. prigozhin has put out putin at all. prigozhin has put our videos— putin at all. prigozhin has put our videos or— putin at all. prigozhin has put out videos of his— putin at all. prigozhin has put out videos of his men- “ prigozhin has put out videos of his men saying rney— out videos of his men saying rney ore— out videos of his men saying rney royor— out videos of his men saying they are loyal to— out videos of his men saying they are loyal to the president. they— they are loyal to the president. rney puer— they are loyal to the president. rney just unpu— they are loyal to the president. they just simply want- they are loyal to the president. they just simply want truth. they just simply want truth. they want supplies. they want everything that the russian army is not giving them. so it really comes from that fall out between prigozhin his men and the russian military. of course, there's no real conversation in in russia going on about whether
5:42 pm
prigozhin is going replace prigozhin is going to replace putin, whether he's going to be a better leader. and the fallout between that. but, of course, putin reacted and said putin has reacted and said that this is internal treason and has charged prigozhin with such a charged prigozhin with such a charge a crime. and charge, with such a crime. and that to 20 years in jail, that leads to 20 years in jail, as you see there. prigozhin addressing people . this isn't addressing people. this isn't really something that garners a lot of reporter support for him. he's not really held in any great stead by by the russian people . they don't have a great people. they don't have a great rapport with him. but also they don't have a great rapport with sergey shoygu. they haven't really respected his role in this, this conflict and anything that he's really done in the war in ukraine. the same with gerasimov. they are really silent partners in this war. but it really does come down to the fact that prigozhin has has fell out these very high out with these these very high up in the russian up commanders in the russian army. is definitely army. it is definitely a conflict between them, but it really isn't anything where there's a conversation going on between prigozhin and putin and whether putin is going to be
5:43 pm
ousted. however, there has been that from the that pushback from the president. it very serious president. so it is very serious and it is internal treason. as vladimir said. and it is internal treason. as vladimir said . and it vladimir putin has said. and it is that has sent is something that has sent shockwaves through russia and the russian people. of course, as we've seen, moscow is on something of a lockdown, counter—terrorist, um, regime has announced that it won't has been announced that it won't be a working day on monday. there are places being shut down, museums, the down, parks, museums, the tretyakov gallery, i mean, it's a sunny day on a saturday a hot, sunny day on a saturday in capital. there's going to in the capital. there's going to be and thousands be thousands and thousands of people to be sent people that are going to be sent home have been that home and have been told that they into the city of they can't go into the city of been not gather in big been told not to gather in big groups course, these are groups of course, these are precautionary measures . as we've precautionary measures. as we've seen, there has been attacks on russia. has been drone russia. there has been drone attacks kremlin. there's attacks on the kremlin. there's been the murders or the assassination actions of military bloggers . vladlen military bloggers. vladlen tatarsky was one in saint petersburg. and of course, danna petersburg. and of course, darina daria dugina, the daughter of dugin, who is the putin's brain, of course, as he's known . so there have been he's known. so there have been attacks on russian influential figures . there have been attacks
5:44 pm
figures. there have been attacks on russian soil and russian territory. that's why we're seeing the russian national guard guarding places like the ministry defence . but in ministry of defence. but in terms of whether this this coup, whether you want to call it a coup armed insurrection, coup or this armed insurrection, as being called russia, as it's being called in russia, whether gain any steam whether that will gain any steam and gain any support , it's and gain any support, it's looking like it's not really going to work really down to the fact that wagner doesn't have that many men and it doesn't have that much support amongst the russian people. it's really going to lead possibly quite possibly to nowhere . and possibly to nowhere. and with prigozhin deposed . and prigozhin being deposed. and then we will see. then after that, we will see. but in terms of leadership of the russian federation, it isn't really a question of putin being ousted or replaced by prigozhin danny very danny armstrong, thank you very much. talk to you. thank much. good to talk to you. thank you— much. good to talk to you. thank you eo— much. good to talk to you. thank you so muon— much. good to talk to you. thank you so much.-let's- rt“ good to talk to you. thank you so much. let's cross you so much. right. let's cross rue— you so much. right. let's cross uve ro— you so much. right. let's cross live to moscow— you so much. right. let's cross live to moscow now where we're joined — live to moscow now where we're joined by— live to moscow now where we're joined by journalist joined by russian journalist alexei—re- joined by russian journalist alexei—re inl joined by russian journalisti alexei—is in red alexei sevilla, who is in red square— alexei sevilla, who is in red spuore .— alexei sevilla, who is in red square . alexi,— alexei sevilla, who is in red square . alexi, so- alexei sevilla, who is in red square . alexi, so it's been square. alexi, so it's been reported— square. alexi, so it's been reporreu py— square. alexi, so it's been reported by some eastern european— reported by some eastern european outlets that a eonnnoenr— european outlets that a contingent from the wagner group union— contingent from the wagner group unron noe— contingent from the wagner group which has reached— contingent from the wagner group which has reached the moscow

5:46 pm
the city, some roads leading to the capital have been blocked so far because, yes, indeed, we are waiting for the wagner troops to arrive. now, any moment. but i don't think it's i think it's premature to say that they are already knocking at the capitals door. so. so are you in lockdown rnene— door. so. so are you in lockdown then? because _ door. so. so are you in lockdown then? because i— door. so. so are you in lockdown then? because i know— : so. so are you in lockdown then? because i know you said erreere— then? because i know you said some streets and— then? because i know you said some streets and there's people none— some streets and there's people doing searches— some streets and there's people doing searches and the roads are blocked.— doing searches and the roads are blocked. nur— doing searches and the roads are blocked. but is— doing searches and the roads are blocked. but is it— doing searches and the roads are blocked. but is it like is it a torn— blocked. but is it like is it a form or— blocked. but is it like is it a form of lockdown yet at all in moscow— form of lockdown yet at all in moscow .— form of lockdown yet at all in moscow , rne— form of lockdown yet at all in moscow , the fsb,— form of lockdown yet at all in moscow , the fsb, russian secret moscow, the fsb, russian secret service— moscow, the fsb, russian secret senree .— moscow, the fsb, russian secret senree , noe— moscow, the fsb, russian secret service , has announced that service, has announced that rnere— service, has announced that rnere wru— service, has announced that there will possibly be a curfew. so there will possibly be a curfew. so oner— there will possibly be a curfew. so error e— there will possibly be a curfew. so after a certain— there will possibly be a curfew. so after a certain hour,- there will possibly be a curfew. so after a certain hour, no- there will possibly be a curfew. so after a certain hour, no, no, no, no movements in the city will be allowed and indeed, as there is already a lot of law enforcement and people are having their documents checked. so everyone is obviously on guard for government administrative buildings are also like they've doubled their their defences. they are going in the mode , but so far in in the mode, but so far in moscow there is no panic. there is a for sure this feeling of
5:47 pm
tense anticipation . but so far tense anticipation. but so far moscow is holding fine. do you think this is going to go on for a few days? do you think ? we a few days? do you think? we don't know when or if and how the situation will be resolved ? the situation will be resolved? there are different scenarios. some people go as far as saying that there might be the first day of the russian civil war and the president , day of the russian civil war and the president, vladimir putin, himself went as far as to compare the situation with what russia went through in 1970 and with the bolshevik revolution. so in fact, the situation is very serious and no one knows how and if it will end. wagner groups are, for sure, outnumbered , but arguably they outnumbered, but arguably they stay probably one of the mightiest military forces in the country currently, as they have a lot of combat experience in the battle on ground in ukraine. and wagner himself. he the shepherd the wagner group, mr prigozhin has been accused of stabbing russian troops in the back. the russian troops, the russian army who are fighting in
5:48 pm
the in ukraine, because the trenches in ukraine, because as now ukrainian counter offensive is developing and indeed a lot of attention is drawn away from the frontlines to the situation inside the country. something that just yesterday he told me, i would say it's absurd. it couldn't happen. a lot of people are in shock right now, but that's what we are living through right now. well, alexei, thank you very muon— well, alexei, thank you very nuon for— well, alexei, thank you very much for talking to us. of course, we appreciate the eeuerver — course, we appreciate the. exclusive - provided exclusive that he's provided for us exclusive that he's provided for ue-en— exclusive that he's provided for ue-en newe— exclusive that he's provided for us-gb news live- exclusive that he's provided for us gb news live in red us here at gb news live in red square.— us here at gb news live in red square. rnonk— us here at gb news live in red square. thank you— us here at gb news live in red square. thank you much. that square. thank you so much. that of square. thank you so much. that or-re— square. thank you so much. that or-re rne— square. thank you so much. that of-is the conflict- of course, is the conflict rnor-e— of course, is the conflict that's potentially approaching the that's potentially approaching rne—a— that's potentially approaching the a potentially the red square. a potentially opprooenrne— the red square. a potentially approaching moscow . do you the red square. a potentially approaching moscow. do you think rney-u— approaching moscow. do you think rney-u nake— approaching moscow. do you think they'll make it?— approaching moscow. do you think they'll make it? are _ approaching moscow. do you think they'll make it? are they that close?— they'll make it? are they that close? rue— they'll make it? are they that close? we don't— they'll make it? are they that close? we don't know. it sounds pp..— close? we don't know. it sounds like-ore— close? we don't know. it sounds like-ore o— close? we don't know. it sounds like-ore o long— close? we don't know. it sounds like-are a long way- close? we don't know. it sounds like are a long way away. like there are a long way away. nur— like there are a long way away. our of— like there are a long way away. but of course,— like there are a long way away. but of course, this— like there are a long way away. but of course, this does go on a erory— but of course, this does go on a soy rnor— but of course, this does go on a erory run our— but of course, this does go on a story that will be— but of course, this does go on a story that will be unfolding. joining— story that will be unfolding. rornrno-nou— story that will be unfolding. joining-now is- story that will be unfolding. joining now is my panel in joining me now is my panel in wru— joining me now is my panel in your eeteee.— joining me now is my panel in will geddes. fabulous also will geddes. fabulous a&e also unper— will geddes. fabulous a&e also niger—rnen- will geddes. fabulous a&e also nigel then staying nigel nelson, but then staying nrrn— nigel nelson, but then staying nrrn-roger— nigel nelson, but then staying with roger dewalt as with me, dr. roger dewalt as neu— with me, dr. roger dewalt as wen—very- with me, dr. roger dewalt as well._very much. with me, dr. roger dewalt asi well._very much for well. thank you very much for eroyrno— well. thank you very much for staying—going. well. thank you very much for staying—going to| staying with me. i'm going to come _you, nigel.i come straight to you, nigel. rrrer— come straight to you, nigel. run or— come straight to you, nigel. first of all,— come straight to you, nigel. first of all, with— come straight to you, nigel. first of all, with this. so it eouneo— first of all, with this. so it sounds as though it does feel pp..— sounds as though it does feel like-o— sounds as though it does feel uke-o pn— sounds as though it does feel like-a bit more- sounds as though it does feel like a bit more serious,

5:51 pm
if they haven't bought it, they've kind of infiltrated it. they've built a giant infrastructure. they don't want a world war or a nuclear event to threaten that massive infrastructure they've built . so infrastructure they've built. so they will make putin toe the line. but prozone gets in and he has any kind of power at all. is he capable of starting to use at least tactical nuclear weapons or something else? all bets are off. i find it very scary indeed. what would you think if he indeed. what would you think if ne ooee— indeed. what would you think if ne uoee eer— indeed. what would you think if he does get hold— indeed. what would you think if he does get hold of— 3: what would you think if he does get hold of putin? i vvnor— he does get hold of putin? i mean, what would he actually do to mean, what would he actually do ro nine— mean, what would he actually do to him? because— mean, what would he actually do to him? because the people of russia— to him? because the people of russia eeem— to him? because the people of russia seem to— to him? because the people of russia seem to be— to him? because the people of russia seem to be brainwashed. noun— russia seem to be brainwashed. noun py— russia seem to be brainwashed. gaslit by putin. _ russia seem to be brainwashed. gaslit by putin. they they you know,— gaslit by putin. they they you know, rr-e— gaslit by putin. they they you know, no eo— gaslit by putin. they they you know, it's so different to our readers— know, it's so different to our leaders here _ know, it's so different to our leaders here in— know, it's so different to our leaders here in the west. you know,— leaders here in the west. you know, rn— leaders here in the west. you know, in russia,— leaders here in the west. you know, in russia, they seem to be going— know, in russia, they seem to be oornelnre— know, in russia, they seem to be oornolnre every— know, in russia, they seem to be going his every word. �*vvr�*rzge going on his every word. well, yure— going on his every word. well, yure being— going on his every word. well, you're being generous to you're being very generous to some leaders in west. some of our leaders in the west. i think starting this i think starting with this country, they their solution to the energy crisis and everything else is nothing other than gaslighting as far as i'm concerned. but i mean, the concerned. but yes, i mean, the russian i'm to russian people, i'm led to believe , i've have been told
