hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle the television station you're watching now in the russian news agency sputnik may find themselves in legal jeopardy in the united states the drive to designate both as foreign agents under the foreign agents registration act is disturbing and dangerous it would seem those in power decide who can freely speak. cross talking who is a foreign agent i'm joined by my guest scott rickard in tampa he is

a former american intelligence linguist in oxford we have neil clark he is a journalist and broadcaster and in london we crossed alexander across with he is a political commentator and a former kremlin advisor all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated scott let me go to you first in tampa. applying to r t and sputnik this is not for security reasons i this is a very political thing this is a extension of the conspiracy called russia gate and i'm taking it very seriously go ahead scott what's your opinion well it is a very serious situation you have obviously a world that's been run by western media and there and there are finally is someone chipping away at the iceberg and breaking the glass ceiling artie's done a great job of getting a voice of reason out there giving a platform to them for information that's out there available and making it really

mainstream you look at the billions of hits on you tube at once again everybody's taking a look at the information. and agreeing that there is a difference of opinion and in fact this difference of opinion from our perspective comes with a lot of facts and these facts are very difficult for the western media to deal with and i think what we've seen now is that everyone across the board is in fear that you heard hillary clinton in the past saying worth we're losing the information war but they're not losing they're losing the control of the information network and the information that work is finally basically providing information to individuals that is fact based and it's basically giving the c.n.n. from the politicos on the left in the fox and and the other fox affiliated networks on the right a good run for their money and i think that what we're seeing now is they're going to use a political agenda to call us foreign agents when in fact you know i'm not a paid agent i do this freely on my own free will i've reached out to

a lot of people around the world trying to get on western networks i've been called a conspiracy theorist by c.n.n. and never given a call or given a chance to respond and i've also reached out to many news agencies and natasha must go boy who is now the head of digital media in washington d.c. she's with voice of america and i got to tell you that person you know she has written one article on the u.s.s. liberty but what after that article that was a year noting article i'm sure she was going to write it again let me go to alexander in london i mean if you look at these accusations against putin r t and the conclusion i draw is very very simple. based on facts like scott just mentioned here you can't have a different opinion if you and if you have a different opinion and conflicting opinion you're called propaganda now i find that nonsensical but it seems to be be very much in the mindset of the powers that

be in the west they really want to shut down free speech go ahead alexander. well i agree with your piece above let us look at the so-called who is actually who can be questioned as foreign agents or foreign influence now i personally would first put hollywood now hollywood runs a multi-billion complain across the world on behalf of the american government it promotes its films this is a huge sophisticated marketing campaign now look at the film by hollywood it has american propaganda even them superheroes films right now shouldn't the war basically label hollywood as an agents of foreign influence because if this does exactly the same now that's one point second point well why don't they. accuse the muslim brotherhood and network which runs across all europe me the least america of

being. an agent of foreign influence because as we as you know peter there is a conflict between several arab states right qatar and kuwait who are accusing them of funding muslim brotherhood now why don't they call a muslim brotherhood which by the way russia bent on and started ok ok i said it but i'm going to hang on hang on here real quickly ok let me i'll stay with you alexander what would i find really really troublesome is that you can designate a lot of different groups and organizations that as agents of of a foreign power but this is i think a precedent is being set that and a media organisation from another country is being put into that designation that it's a precedent i find it very very dangerous. yes but that was more important to you by the way i have made several times the point here in britain on television and so on that why don't they make the murdoch's empire you know the media empire and call

them agents of foreign influence because they blog the us state department's policies openly here in britain so where her move to this dangerous territory when you can accuse in the media. of being agent of foreign influence and by the way a sport and. i'm not surprised in the for the state egg zack lee thank you very much of a doing that i'm glad you know what we have a comment at the bottom of the screen saying that ok we're very transparent to me let me go to neutral and let me go to neal in oxford you know and neal i mean what do they what do they expect to happen because you know it seems to me it's a trap if our t. and sputnik accept being agents or before under the power act and then whoever is going through the paperwork through their disclosures and all that are always going to find something they don't like i mean it it's a it's a situation where you can't win and i'd like to stress again to all of you and our

audience the pharo when it came in one nine hundred thirty eight was not designated for news outlets for lobbyists and other people peddling foreign influence crime primarily from nazi germany ok go ahead neal in oxford but i think it's very important to understand who is behind this strife and let's name names let's talk about the atlantic council because this all started this thing about the f.b.i. looking into our team sport and whether they should register as foreign agents started. earlier this month when the atlantic council published an article on its website demanding that r.t. be registered as a foreign agent in sport because well then that to counsel had to have a forum or a meeting on the eighth of september when they called for this again. and then what happened just a few days later the f.b.i. x. so this is being led by the neo calm wall of the and if we look at the atlanta council i brought it here a list of the donors people who donate to the atlantic council and what have we got

we've got the forward and home office of the united kingdom we've got nato itself nato and so we've got the raytheon company we've got we've got boeing we've got the united states department of state lockheed martin we've got the u.s. the u.s. air force u.s. army green call you've got a whole lot of u.k. if. you can even go through the list is so long i encourage our viewers to go look there are here in a sense how much money they give you're going to get website have a look at it let me go to scott here you go hey you know what i should this now we have to have equal time here ok i mean go back to scott in tampa you know scott i agree with you r.t. and sputnik and other. alternative media i think it's fair to say we are breaking this monopoly but the content they say oh they were against fracking and they or they they covered occupy wall street and oh my goodness they actually had a third party debate i mean if you look at public opinion polls that's what our t.

broadcast is exactly where public opinion is in the united states ok but the monopoly media they will they will allow their monopoly to be broken and when someone does it that's when you get in trouble you get in political trouble ok and that's what they're afraid of go ahead scott well that's exactly what i mean when you look at the monopoly that's being broken you have all these other organizations that have come out that have you know get no access whatsoever and the fact is is that the access comes from you know traditional networks you know if you look at the hill you know brant budowsky from the hill you know he gets great access you know he's talking to john podesta he's pushing hillary clinton's agenda and you know the hill has of the largest publication in washington. d.c. written or published and read for twenty four thousand individuals that are in washington d.c. pushing that left agenda and these are you know these are housed bar and that work type of things that have been gone on in the left in the right some people written

both sides if you look at andrew. what's his name feinberg. this guy as they definitely had the same kinds of agenda he worked at the hill he's i can't believe sputnik hired him when you look at the agenda that goes along side of you know calling us foreign agents let's look at operation mockingbird yeah. and the cia purposely put people out in foreign networks to operate as foreign agents and this is obviously most countries do this they do this as a way to not only gain information but also share information and this type of sharing of information is what we have the best of now you know when you talk to the tower of babylon and you talk the a bit ability to share information there's nothing better than what we have today and i think the information that we're able to share with each other people can and analyze it on their own of course in italy yet we live in a society of sidey of a lot of mockingbirds that just repeat what they see on t.v. and i think generally what they do across the board what they do is they look down

upon us let me go to alexander before we go to the break here you what you were talking about who should be designated a foreign agent well i would think i can't speak about the u.k. parliament but i could i would assume that at least half or maybe three quarters or even ninety percent of members of congress should be signed on to the power act particularly lou when you look at apac and its relationship to israel go ahead forty seconds before we go to the break go ahead alexander well better quickly i'd like to say this i've been asking some people here in britain why do warchild and you know what they. do for a lot of those others of exactly the same work for work we're live here in britain it's like a brand new dime soviet union every news channel says exactly the same thing. for the. why that. because of the different new general it's president an opinion which people want to hear that is the problem that's why they want to suppress. ok gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to

a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on a foreign agent. years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun bad guy trying to get to one of my family members he would have better live better and i think they are and hurting when i buy my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than home for a million americans have been killed by the u.s. . team yes we did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves some real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit. and. to

return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years you've got i don't know that but we're not. here's what people have been saying about redacted and this is actually just pull along. the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yeah it's the john oliver of party america is doing the same. apparently better than food. and see people you've never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. well no. but there are there as well marshall in the. islamic state claims it was behind the manchester terror and. ok we're breaking into the program earlier today u.k.

prime minister treason made called a special meeting of the anti terror crowborough committee and she's now giving a speech let's listen in. and once again i'd like to thank them for their professionalism and for their bravery in the peace and security services are obviously doing all the work to discover the full circumstances of this cowardly attack and to identify those responsible and i would urge any members of the public who have anything mation or footage about what happened this morning to pass it to the police urgently the threat level remains at severe that means that a terrorist attack is highly likely but this will be kept under review as the investigation progresses and the public should go about their daily lives but remain vigilant and people who are travelling in london will see an increased armed police presence on the transport network and they will see security will be increased and the police will of course do what is necessary to protect the public

of the threat of terrorism that we face is severe but together by working together we will defeat them prime minister he said following the london bridge attack just a few months ago that enough is enough and that we've been too tolerant of extremism is that still your view and how do you intend to tackle this threat yes we do need to ensure that we're dealing with not just the terrorist threat but with the terror the extremism and the hate that can actually incite that terrorism that's why we're looking very carefully at the powers that our police and security services have to make sure they have the powers they need but it's also why we're working with the internet companies the home secretary has visited silicon. spoken with the internet companies and next week anger be chairing a session co-hosting it with the president from france to talk about what more we can be doing to ensure that we deal with the terrorist propaganda with the

extremist propaganda with the hatred that is put out across the internet prime minister donald trump has intervened to say that this was carried out by people who scotland yard had in its sights does he know something we don't never think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation as i've just said the police and security services are working to discover the full circumstances of this cowardly attack and to identify all those responsible and just finally sidique khan was at your meeting he said that london needs more police more police stations more resources will they get it we are very clear we have protected police budgets we also protected counter-terrorism policing and we have ensured that it is possible for the police to increase the number of armed police and i'm pleased to say that once again the emergency services the police and others responded immediately this attack on the scene immediately and we thank them for their professionalism bravery thank you thank you thank you. because it was the

british prime minister treason may just giving a statement following the cobra meeting the cabinet office briefing rooms where the various members of government parliament civil service come together in a crisis situation it's been happening more frequently of late of course another is because our breaking news this hour treason may stating that there will be an increased presence of security on the streets including on public transport of course but today that is where we saw the attack on the chub station said that britain is facing a severe threat and the investigation is ongoing not a lot of new information as to what we know in the past. number of hours saying that they probe is still ongoing but let's just get a reminder in fact all of our breaking news this hour from london where the number of people injured the terror attack on an underground station has been updated to

twenty two police say an explosive device only partly off the incident took place at parson's green station that's on the district line in the site west of the city area of the city about a house and seen a lot of terror in the past including during the time as well. these are well this is an overview really of the city just showing maybe it will it will go in a little bit closer and some of the streets that are being cornered and off for most of the hours it's happened what six hours ago now is it twenty am local time these are the this is what's believed to be the exclusive device went off only partially. trained. only. if and how it got off really is what investigators said immediately after the attack when they

had a look at what was out there with the ball bearings various other implements in. the. walls pictures have emerged showing the merge and see services taking injured people away from the scene this is what we're looking at a number of hours ago people being carried people there with bandages on their head we saw some other people with burn as well to various exposed pieces of skin orage as well. but more and more people have been sharing their experiences online from the london underground explosion this morning it would have been a packed target. had to go into work at rush hour a lot of people going to school us well this is what some of them hoping to see. mustn't be rushing at us explosion on recount surreal might.

just had to run for my life at parson's green station's huge stampede last injury. i saw people jumping not caring where they landed or whether they broke bones they were leaping over the various. there was lots of shouting and screaming it was a bit of a crush on the stairs going down to the streets some people book pushed over and trampled on. i saw people with money generous burns to the fees and slags people were helping each other. a little bit earlier we spoke to counterterrorism expert doug weeks up by the instant this is what he had to say a whole range of issues. the device itself clearly cannot function in the manner that it was hoped to which was obviously a good thing my understanding at this point is approximately eight people have been

taken to hospital most men with burns in the hours to come that you will see a fairly significant police presence at most the london transport. system . in a science in that bucket. would be certainly adequate. and if the only function as it was intended in. a pocket size one to hold and. continue considerable damage one has. kind of question one of the cells coing. this i think no matter how many police or security personnel that you have. to try and protect a semi the size of london and things like this aren't going to continue to be able

to affect employing a poison when you have a device like this especially if something is obviously identifying at this point in the pocket of the christmas lights and all that will certainly review all the c.c.t.v. and fairly rapidly be able to start the new term and where. those to myself onto the train and they will start tracking those individuals down i think that is one pat purely from a security point of view. and the police and government are really struggling to try and get their hands on this to contain it and something that is potentially not. not containable at least without some very serious security measures put in place thinking about. the long term i think we need to start looking at potentially more. solutions rather than simply of

the nation that mean primarily and one of our social nature and where we can hopefully start swinging some of these individuals from carrying out the attacks and the problem though is that if you look at the attacks especially those there share. although that much of what is reported in the media is a concern about potential individuals coming back from you know fighting overseas and other purpose and then carrying out attacks here so far that has not really come to. be what we are seeing in terms of news and tax it will be interesting to see what comes out of this attack once they identify who the perpetrators are. is and whether or not this was another case of individuals

acting for the matter of being a tall man that's interaction. so just to bring you up to date will what we saw in the past ten minutes or so trees are made the british prime minister coming to a short interview staving off the terror level had not been moved up to critical it will remain out severe it will be increased presence on the streets of security including on public transport in london a little bit of a rebuke also to donald trump but said that it was in the sight of scotland yard the person the perpetrator who carried out today's attack at treason may not agreeing with that statement i'm back in five minutes time with all the latest from the incident in central london join me that. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to

tragedy i did i took a line just i came to god and the game and it was. many lives have been broken fixes to the banks going to. be. the bank i didn't think of. through the back under done by creditors people see you know the future face of how you know you become ill you do job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is a lifelong trap or is there a way out oh it's actually come to a bit of you know. if you're to build. a few more. that your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last. year at me all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry.

so i write these last words and helps to put to rest. things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one difference i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at the point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit

suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects . was is gellatly all to what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's saying. don't back off there's no marshall and . islamic states claims it was behind the manchester terror attack by look to the north front so cool the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming and i says so bad someone needs to do something against them for me was like yeah why don't routine something. that.

feels. good. those are. two of. the cases. the challenge for the title. under oath is going to. prove the police. moved. from contends with more moves from special counsel robert mower while hillary clinton pushes her view of what happened in the twenty six dean campaign it's all the latest on this edition. of politic and on larry king according to multiple reports the trump campaign is

begun turning over documents to investigators working for the office of special counsel robert mueller the reports contend that this is all part of mr miller's investigation into possible collusion between them from campaign and moscow so what's the significance of this and what might it portend of anything let's talk about that with lanny davis who's in washington d.c. he serves as white house special counsel during the clinton administration also a strategic media and crisis management expert at in miami kendall coffey formerly served as a u.s. attorney is currently champion of the southern district conference of the florida federal judicial nominating commission we welcome them both lanny will start with you what do you make of that some campaign handing over documents to special counsel dealing with the campaign they've worn.
