markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred global financial headlines kaiser reports. from moscow the top stories for the. wrap up the summit in the city because as both leaders praise moscow's ever improving relations with the west. america's longest war the u.s. involvement in afghanistan. now as frustration builds over the growing financial costs attacks in afghanistan reached an all time high. for foreign troops

since the start of the. aggression in the u.s. . joint space flights and the cold war relations that followed on this day thirty five years ago two spacecraft one salvi one american blasted off and. the apollo. programs continue next star. talks to a former k.g.b. officer to find out what could be happening behind the scenes of the latest spy saga between moscow and washington. ten people have already pleaded guilty to being agents for russia one more has just been deported how come so many people were caught at once what they do just not very good at their job. but it's hard for me to answer this question

as i had no direct connection to this case or is data i can only use data from the u.s. department of justice that was published and posted on the internet it was used as grounds for this report has some information on what this group had been working on over the ten years i certainly do have many questions about some of the things i saw in that report i mean the safety of people working group and work principles for any intelligence agency such as conspiracy principles here during the ten years their homes were secretly searched this is something one should be able to detect staying in a point in territory any secret agent understands their opponent he should be able to detect signs of such activities like whether he's under surveillance i think during these ten years they would have noticed suspicious signs of someone watching over them can we suggest that someone has betrayed them and if so who could be behind it. i believe the chances are that the information leak took place as

a result of possible treason that happened at about the same time as their work started all i can do is make suggestions it could have been treason by members of this group or others involved in this work or an information leak as a result of negligence in regards to conspiracy and safety principle is. usually what happens to spies that have already been disclosed how their careers and their lawyers shaped after the reveal or. their status whether they are regulated intelligence officers or whether they are just assisting persons involved in. the service then those who saw the reasons for the failure of an agent or an assistant also affects what happens after this analysis is going to be a low professionalism or unforseen circumstances such as another individual street which means that it wasn't the agent's fault i myself was affected by the board and like that i was working under the so-called legal cover over u.s. embassy workers. as a result of

a political campaign five of us were declared persona non grata and thrown out of mexico as well didn't happen then that affect my life in particular to some extent my further business travel opportunities were limited i wasn't allowed to a number of the so-called main adversary countries on the other hand i was transferred to another category of the cold spiders intelligence needs such blown agents for assignments in situations where they don't want to risk alone agents so i started working in this area therefore when experienced agents who work for a long time fail for various reasons they can then be used in all kinds of areas where intelligence has a very wide range of working areas they can keep regular workers and use them in the field of training and education for instance. the us secretary says say they've been on the tail of the russian agents for almost a decade why did it take so much time for them to bust the spy ring it's been described by many experts as amateur. border. reservists as get signs

that certain individuals may be suspected of being involved in unacceptable activities such as intelligence work or deploying an entire range of operational tools at their disposal it's in order to determine whether these individuals are really able to damage the national security of the country where they are stationed they don't just have to determine that such activities were performed they have to recall these facts in order to present them to the relevant judicial authorities proving someone is this isn't an easy task in any case until june doesn't decide this report to higher state officials. anywhere it's complicated procedure but. ten years isn't that. what i did it may be a little bit too much but there's another thing graduating with all of the paradox and drama of intelligence when intelligence receives an assignment it all happens in a particular setting

a particular political situation while the secret service is doing its work the setting can change on the political level those who assigned the task may now have completely different relations with the country at all therefore even though the secret service did manage to prove something the political landscape requires a different attitude and a different implementation of these data let's use iraq as an example the cia knew for sure that saddam hussein's regime didn't own weapons of mass destruction and they received an assignment from higher political state authorities to provide the documents proving otherwise and therefore they started working to obtain such data even though they knew it wasn't anywhere to be found nonetheless in the course of this work and in which of saddam hussein as the national and then the international enemy was used to fulfill higher political tasks but when it all happened and they realized there really was no weapon of mass destruction the secret service was betrayed the guilty party initiating the entire search for proof and they were punished for it too. so do you mean something has changed in the russian american

relations. considering this work started ten years ago that time relations were different and the american state authorities had a different attitude towards. the secret services were doing their job whether they found evidence or legitimate actions or not everything's points to the fact that they didn't find them so it's either they were doing a bad job or they were doing such a good job or those who were under their surveillance weren't working at all. situation has changed i believe the recent visits and meetings at the top level are a step towards an era of recovering the kind of relations the us and the u.s.s.r. used to have during say world war two what should we do in the present situation should we keep working even though we know there's nothing to be found. in these twelve days that shook the world we thought our relations were about to explode again in spite of the recent warming and rapid developments and almost a theatrical solution and happy ending from both countries everybody relations seem

even stronger now and a compromise for the solution was found unbelievably quickly up with these events are the top level of intelligence work during the cold war it used to take years to prepare such as it turns out now to some extent the foundation was made even before this issue was made public. because one side was already prepared for it and the other one was interested in doing it smoothly in the current situation either one wanted to use this opportunity to gain is grain of gold this would be the purpose of all previous achievements i mean the summit during the russian president's visit to the us. how do you think were these people these particular people really in a position to threaten u.s. national interests. i didn't see it in the information that i came across. russia and the us have swapped is this how these kind of stories you and.

every situation is unique therefore i cannot give you a general answer actions on both sides in similar cases have certain principles but this can all change depending on the situation at a given moment the case could be suspended in order to wait for something to make a solution easier or it could be better to resolve it immediately like in this case even during the cold war there were channels enabling one side or another to initiate just walk but this is a very delicate matter as it has to meet the interests of both sides and to bring three main aspects together i mean political operational and legislative ones of points or political goals can differ between two countries at one point or another also they have to consider whether this could have a negative effect on the operational aspect of the matter therefore this used to take a long time for example the swap of abel he was arrested in one nine hundred fifty seven and this war powers had been shot down in one thousand six day and put in jail two took place in one thousand nine hundred two this means he spent five years in jail. for a u.k.

citizen when regarding the case of gorski also took a long time he was arrested in one thousand nine hundred eighty one and i think he was released in one nine hundred sixty for another couple of illegal agents who were arrested regarding the case when they returned to moscow in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine these were the terms of negotiating and approving those swaps you can understand that things were changing during that time whereas in this case i repeat these were twelve days that shook the world it fired up swiftly and it happily. but this case is extraordinary russians having swapped four russians and ten for four do you think this is a fair. thing is i was very much surprised i come from the cold war there were no precedents where russians were exchanged for russians but now as we can see from statements by administration officials and from the media this unequal exchange was instigated by the us side that wish to receive the persons they had names the result is a consensus and

a compromise both sides are satisfied and the problem solved. how do you think this case will affect. u.s. efforts to reset relations noida what if we take the broad dame's any such war office chances for warming and we can see it i believe as a first step to revival but others say it's a time bomb under good relations it's hard to judge or i told the media that this war should be for the joint post-mortem involving spy hunters on the gore side we all talk about some political consequences but we don't talk about people's plates these people have to like you take it they were not convicted of spying in the united states but in a different situation the political decision making would have been different and then this evidence might have entailed some serious consequences in court and these people would have for years or even decades found themselves in a situation with the terms much worse than what they got as a result and the other man had a prison terms reduced to. which side has benefited more. yet almost.

judging by the reactions both sides are satisfied by this always come it's a happy ending and both sides demonstrate as much. why do americans need miss this attack again who is already serving his sentence. carried them with blood because. this question should be posed to the americans i only know the open charges against a judge in some say he was feeding open stock that he had summed up with the fact that it became secret others say he was feeling nothing at all still others say he had meetings with spies how can i make any assumptions on the basis of all this. the wall street journal recently wrote that the historical swap deal will allow the russian leaders to feel like they're back in the time of u.s. soviet parity do you agree with it. but at. this particular

conclusion doesn't follow from this agreement it's comical in my view in principle these are side effects these kinds of events do happen periodical in interstate relations national interests do diverged and after the u.s.s.r. ceased to exist it was claimed that the intelligence service no longer had friends or foes and began minding national interests here the secret services are always guided by u.s. national security interests something cropped up in u.s. territory they sort of neutralize it while outside u.s. territory they viewed stress globally no matter where they emerged and took steps to neutralize them as well. do you think the country's sunni point is a kind of a bad habit dating back to cold war the one we are rather to get through. as long as the student of the state is in existence within a human community or intelligence services will exist as well methods change but

principles as described in the bible this is to this day but the information revolution doesn't affect intelligence priorities of course. thank you very much a leg for joining us. in the russian empire. to save the soviets. five hundred tons of gold and dozens of colored. six hundred. roubles. the train. station. sentry long way. ministry of the. on.
