and little dispassionate government isn't the problem here that i mean even this phrase overtype made in russia. a very important journalist told me then kim jong un's brother when he was killed by v.x. nerve gas the british government could be blamed because britain invented v.x. nerve gas or because a helicopter i think i think i think using that they could appropriate to say of a type that was invented by the british i'm sure v.x. the series of agents the next one was one that was developed in the british between one hundred fifty two and fifty four so you know so but why jump the gun on the p.c. w that's investigating today in wiltshire why don't wait for the outcome of the u.n. inspectors well i think there's. two aspects to this the first is the the political aspect you know the prime minister was under some political pressure not least of which from the opposition parties to give a statement as to what happened and to take cycling jerico would say she had to

apportion blame immediately for the labor from bajor the i said i would wait for their proper i should say i don't i don't think the prime minister would have apportion blame unless she had some very strong intelligence that will not be released into the public and that intelligent supersedes the official u.n. inspector report or will the un inspectors report. whenever i worked with the united nations on them i'm not knocking them in any way shape or form but because every country in the world is a member the united nations we close we used to recognise google as having a higher classification than united nations intelligence wants a point to be a b c w being a world should sit well with. our bringing in a set of independent spector's they can either use the facilities important to examine the agent and they probably will there and see what's going on and look at it as much as they possibly can and to. try and examine the assessment has been

made and come up with their own conclusions and then they're probably take a sample of it away to their own laboratory so they can independently. look at the agent that's been used and apportion their own view as to where they think it's come from and that's very important to get that sort of independent oversight that you think is political pressure that caused a razor blade to jump the gun as it will i think either a little pressure i think is a political necessity and i think there's a necessity for the people who are country because this is the first time that such a horrific agent has been used on this on the streets of europe we shouldn't underestimate just how dangerous this is and the need to be a degree of public reassurance as if they have this lethal nerve weapon. what's to stop this escalating without any kind of summit between london and moscow wants to stop this being escalated into threatening us in a much more real way from developing from a cold war to a hot war which is fighting you know this is what diplomacy comes in and international diplomacy comes in and this is where it's important that the o.p.c.

w. gets in to make their assessment they can inform the united nations what's happened and we get back into the good old fashioned diplomacy game you know i think if we saw the russian reaction to the british expulsion it wasn't as severe as it could have been and therefore was a sort of like for like so there's suggestions there that president putin didn't want to escalate this any further whether the closing of the british consul the consulate in some petersburg is considered an escalation or not that's for treason made to decide for the big thank you after the break what did the saudi crown prince talk about during yesterday's meeting with president donald trump we asked a member of the old drugs media advisory board did you go out on from the headlines so cozies gift from gadhafi with cash on top of these gifts from israel with all this is all coming up in part two of going underground.

joining me every first day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do it on my guess is nobody nobody is a case and i don't no one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to. acknowledge they don't give a damn if you do the chores or not they're actually paying us to put it back into. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sandbridge what she could is behind such success.

welcome back well to go through some of this week's headlines as broadcaster former liberal democrat member of parliament lembit oh big them bad how was last night great what happened last night i was launching my thesis on why the lib dems really need to move on from just being fixated about having a second referendum on the european union as long as they do that is two party politics and they're not one of those two parties well the leader of your party vince cable little that comes on the show the way that is let's go to our first story here from the israeli paper her yes it says israeli spies ukrainian honey traps the dirty tricks used by cambridge on a little far behind facebook data breach big story developing drawing in our very own prime minister here the breach is actually because they were filmed secretly saying well we do facilitate these kinds of actions to compromise your competitors or your opponents to channel four news i thought russia meddled with the elections and all israeli spies and it was british intelligence this is based in cambridge

that was born in cambridge where the ways as you know well that's the link there's no link at all in any way continue. to fall anyway always leads to interview news if there's not actually likes you with the prime minister and the soon to be looking. to this the same techniques potentially for electoral political ads with the daily mail yes that's not a look at this one online says theresa may wants to use an army of computerized mind readers to help her win the next election and this was before this was back in twenty sixteen twenty sixteen yes the crucial thing here is less the timing rather than the connection this once again goes back to cambridge and let it go so we now see this connection between two reason may be secret service the honeytrap exploits and cambridge and there is nothing nothing in all of this to say that tourism a arrange honeytrap against nothing at all or me calling it all cambridge sounded as if you refuse to comment perhaps because they want to sustain the privacy of

their clients but it's a very opportune time for this to come out given all the other accusations pointed in other directions and i'm thinking of no particular country when i say that well i should say the boss of facebook mark zuckerberg says he's going to be interviewed by the information commissioner whose office is in this building show where we're all very excited here you'll be listening and someone's always been listening in on the former french president let's take this from a libyan newspaper as hot water for soccer as he had libyan express says sarkozy taken in french police custody over libya funding of his two thousand and seven election campaign i get this it's reported that there were three suitcases though did with cash allegedly coming from colonel could all the allegations presume he denied by carla bruni former president sarkozy more than refused to respond to the summons initially he wouldn't cooperate with the police while he is cooperating now in a sense but it's a pretty big deal again the figures are stupendously larger tennis until proven

guilty ups ups might make the news the u.n. security council when they discuss libya today all you can just say took money from going to absolutely and you got their first action because we have to be careful not to say that he's guilty of anything this compare that to how the russian. have been treated in terms of the souls pre events where we can assume guilt for that proving evidence so there are some double standards going on here well of course some people said the libya war was all just about sarkozy all the sarkozy presumably turned against his benefactor would be the allegation that complicate was about oil the sweetest oil in the world and you've got a story here for the morning star about oil or it is demonstrations it's a variation on the oil theme this is about fracking morningstar says oil companies bid to silence until frack is crumbles turns out that u.k. oil and gas company has sought a sweeping injunction to try and stop protesters from excellent demonstrations of protest as in free speech well i'm actually equivocal about fracking but i'm not

concerned about having frack as demonstrating that's their right they should be heard by the earthquakes or the earthquakes rather they see now you're in very cyber am i saying that the thing is that sixty thousand pounds on additional security has been paid which in itself is possibly ok it's a free speech question here are we living in a country where the right to demonstrate is being limited because these people get in the way of big business we have the right to protest that's going to this very tragic story redolent of the spanish civil war arguably some people say it was syria was about oil take us to this it's a gender based story the telegraph reports agenda based his agenda based henri it is because it is from an unaccountable joint all female fighting it killed in syria why because she is the not the first brit to be killed but the first woman to be killed in a very complicated situation now she was fighting with the kurdish women's protection units again backed by the united states well yes and our friend in northern syria

against i still who of course had a complicated relationship with the west in the past so the whole thing is a big mess over there and the west is culpable in turning up the heat in my view in more than one way turkey. jet killed this british is in british subject supported by american money does that mean under article five of nato the united states that alone britain can attack turkey well remember that's the big mess because we are walking into a dangerous area which could be more in century than the situation between washington north korea that over thank you well within the past twenty four hours u.s. president ronald trump here between tweeting is really meeting with saudi crown prince mohammed bin soundman on the heels of his visit to london where he met with to resume and the queen the u.s. saudi alliance though will arguably get less media attention than who trump will fire next joining me now from florida is dr g. allowed in who serves on the president's advisory board who was

a national media sora good during trump's dramatic twenty sixteen race for the white house do you know thanks for coming on going underground overpowerful is the presidency given trump's inability it seems to stop one investigation after another against him well it is those investigations against him that are proof positive of exactly how powerful this president is and how scared to death the establishment and the elite inside the beltway in washington d.c. are of him this president has come in and made sweeping radical reforms that have completely unleashed our free market economics and that is scaring those who like the way things were done in the old traditional ways with the old traditional establishment it scared them to death so it is it is because of his power that these investigations continue at the moment day here in britain we're getting headlines about some kind of alliance allegedly between israeli u.k.

intelligence and facebook changing elections in africa let alone some implications here in britain but why is it over there your media thinks trump was elected only because of the russians. it's interesting i don't know because you know the things that we've seen in our media prove zero efforts on anyone involved with the with the trump campaign to to do anything with any foreign governments we see quite the contrary on the other side from the democrats and so i think time will tell the how can you be the rubber ruler is investigating alleged collusion between the clinton campaign. the former in my six agent christopher steele that deserved to be making the headlines over there you know what the media's going to report what they're going to report and a lot of times that the u.s. media as you know is going to always be against any conservatives who are holding

office but i don't think that i have a lot of confidence in mohler frankly i don't have a lot of confidence in anyone who's left over from the establishment that existed prior to this president who is obviously a reformer in every way so my confidence is only going to come from those that the president has put in place or are those that have come along after the president where i believe we're seeing now a much more transparent government a much government that is much closer to the united states people then then we've seen in the past and beyond that i just don't trust much of anyone over the manufacturing workers are going to applaud policies like the tariffs on the island medium and steel but when you talk about the establishment it was trump who brought in establishment people then to then to fire them arguably i'm not sure exactly what instance you're speaking about right now but i will say that i think that what the president has done in terms of bringing business back to the united states and

repatriating jobs that had been overseas what he's done even and i and i personally i'm not a tariffs person but the unfair trade war that was happening against the united states. aides from other governments i think what the president did was a masterful negotiating tactic that i think in the long run will work out very well economically not just for the united states but honestly for our allies and even for trade on the world scale and you think that i mean we're also getting headlines here but came with journalistic goods all about the weather. trouble needs has a legitimate presidency they're all just designed to undercut him being able to carry through policies like the presidency is very legitimate and all you have to do is look at his base which is more solid and more. i would say fervent then any base that i have i have ever seen in american politics most free

market people love president reagan we all love president reagan but they really love this president as long as he keeps creating jobs and now we're up to so many jobs i've lost count somewhere as long as he keeps creating jobs and he keeps making american life a little easier for the average american citizen with bonuses that are coming back to them through their companies and you know increase homeownership among black families you know this president has shown that his economic. hope for our future in america is completely colorblind he wants it for everyone across the board in america and even beyond that as i said and so i don't think that you know the other side is that going to want to listen to this because they are very used to business happening as usual they like their cushy parties in their elite places in washington d.c.

they like not having to work very hard to get to get big fat paychecks and big fat pensions this president is changing all that so it's not that surprising that they don't like him much reagan of course developed a big relationship with moscow it has to be honest i know it just every day on the talk shows in the. it states but why doesn't donald trump slam and criticize russia well i think that there have definitely been some reprisals for the things that he thinks that russia has done bad i think that he sees every country for its good and its bad and its possible threats to the united states and its possible advantage to the united states so i think that the president is going to stand firmly against governments that are going to try to meddle in our elections certainly or any governments that are going to try to meddle with us economically or any governments that are going to try unfair trade practices against the united states certainly any sorts of crimes of war or nuclear threat are going to be met swiftly and abruptly by this president he is fearless in that and he's made that clear but on

the other hand if they can if there is a place for us to negotiate even with governments as rogue and ridiculous as north korea the president is going to try to stand on the side of united states and eliminate that nuclear threat and i think that's what any president of any country should always be doing for their own country it's just that it's been a long time since america had a president that cared more about america than they did about foreign nations and that's why you can dog do grown prince mohammed bin solomon in saudi arabia when trump surely knows the fifteen of the nineteen hijackers on nine eleven move from saudi arabia i think the president has dealt so well with terror that it is completely undeniable where he stands on that issue you look at isis used to be an american headlines every single day terrorist acts were happening every single day at least on a small scale somewhere in the united states he has eliminated virtually

a limited that threat at the time the american election began to mount when the president was just getting into the presidential election the number one concern on the hearts and minds of americans was isis today isis is in the back shadows somewhere no one thinks about them no one talks. them are concerns are completely different and he has a lemonade that threats i don't think there's any argument where this president stands on terror and how firmly and how swiftly he will eliminate those who presented terrorist threat to the united states dr jean allowed thank you and that's over the show but will be back on saturday to investigate today's claims against russia made by a minority government be did raise or may have prime minister's questions till then he was out by social media appeals out of the nineteen years to the day britain began attacking yugoslavia without approval from the un security council.

the far right. isn't just on the march it's taking violent my daughter's action i don't like need to hear that you know again i see these organizations which are usually split into which we take different names how do you view that. complex web of butchers' fascism. it would appear the more the political left and their allies in the corporate media . the more we learn about the corrupt behavior of the deep state the firing of andrew mccabe at the f.b.i.

it's a case in point is this the beginning of a perfect. russia says it regards the poisoning of a former spy in the u.k. as an act of terrorism demanding answers to the question. of civilians are killed as rebel shelling targets the suburbs of damascus and hits a crowded my. documents revealed the extent of the us national security agency's efforts to track down and identify big news. this is r.t. international. the russian foreign ministry says that it considers the poisoning of

former spice and his daughter to be an act of terrorism it's held a briefing on the case with a number of ambassadors attending the event it is chewed up as the story. the foreign ministry spokesperson said a number of things firstly he reiterated that russia could have in no way benefited from the attack moscow says they consider this to be a terror attack secondly they stated that the u.k. refused to cooperate with russia which is against the convention on prohibition of chemical weapons and he mentioned the attack could have been orchestrated by another party but then clarified that russia is not pinning the blame on anyone and asked that his words not be distorted let's take a quick look. we see that the british authorities are becoming ever more nervous and it's clear why the clock is they have backed themselves into a corner they will eventually have to provide an increasing number of unanswered questions we expect from london and from the organization for the prohibition of

chemical weapons an official count of developments regarding the scruple case we need comprehensive conclusions and detailed confirmations a spokesperson for the defense ministry also spoke out he said that it seems that britain is afraid to conduct an unbiased investigation into the script of case and that the u.k. presented no proof that gas illegibly used to poison scruple was made in russia he went on to say that the formula of the subs and not the child was published by scientists. who is working with the us government the russian foreign ministry went on to talk specifically about britain and said it was and is one of the states that have been implementing a program on the development of new chemical weapons since one thousand nine hundred seventy s. he added that the porton down lap in britain is used to conduct instruments involving use of chemical weapons now we did have a reaction from a london embassy spokesperson who stated that moscow doesn't have to present anything in terms of script or case but is ready for

a joint investigation london has proposed russia a dialogue over this case however it doesn't see a constructive approach from moscow now the ambassadors that. did not attend were britain u.s. and france britain and the us sent embassy workers instead a comment spokesperson reacted to the u.k. decision by saying that it showed unwillingness to hear russia's aren't says to its questions that moscow to date has denied any involvement in the attempted murders of so kenya scribble the russian former intelligence officer and his daughter yulia were allegedly poisoned insults both of them remain in a critical condition and so this diplomatic spat that has gone on for a while now looks to continue to go on for some time. meanwhile the case foreign secretary secretary i should say boris johnson said that he believes that the script being leads back inexorably to the kremlin citing a number of allegations but claiming at the same time he doesn't want

a new cold war. i want to be very clear that we do wish to engage in a new cold war and i do appreciate that i don't want i remember. the road so to walk. putin the way you see mocking thirty six. years i think the comparison with six is. right. russians. responded with a. distortion and delay and that is their tactic. cyberwar for this information middling in european election campaigns the scene of the election campaigns elsewhere in. russia has got to be moved.

to discuss the development of bring in john whitey's a political commentator and journalist john so boris johnson says he doesn't want to engage in a new cold war strangeways got of going about it though he said the upcoming world cup football in russia would be like hitler is. suppose the question is because boris says things like this sometimes is that boris being boris or is he doing this on purpose trying to up the ante. ball versts eterna and oxbridge educated crackpot seems intent on singlehandedly fracturing relations between the u.k. the and russia beyond repair and i think we're past this the true we can go to boris just being boris this is a provocation too far even for him annoyed discreet and studied insult being directed not at the russian government but at the russian people given

the election result we just had which proves that the russian people stand rock solid behind their government government and more importantly given the history of the second world war the sacrifice the epic second face made by the russian people to the cost of twenty seven million lives lost in liberty to europe from the scourge of now see fascism this is an annoying disgrace and i fear that if someone does not remain in this man sooner rather than later the damage he does and will do will live on after him there is seems a political climate certainly for a few years where it seemed that everyone thinks they can insult the russian government in particular the president but on this occasion the foreign minister of russia's come out and said that this is unacceptable just like there's a line being drawn now that you know enough is enough. indeed it's now clear that anti russian reeses m is the accepted form of leases on and no where

some of the invective some of the insults been directed at russia and its people if you were to substitute the word jewish for russian and some of those insults then you would see a huge creature could have been unleashed and rightly saw it is a really dangerous time that we are living in and i know becoming suspicious that the taming of this to perdition has been directed at russia because that has not been one scintilla of evidence thus far juiced to support the claims that russia was responsible for the attack on sergei script powell and his daughter yulia but it comes at a time when in syria eastern is being liberated as we speak and rather than the people of eastern fearing the syrian out of army and its russian allies as we are being told that the where by the west by western governments and their media court they are rushing into the arms of the city an

arab army treating them as liberators and we are no seeing that mixture of chemical weapons labs are being uncovered in eastern huta so i'm no starting to become suspicious at the correlation of these events. boris johnson and series of it has to be said have made some very strongly worded accusations they very clearly pointed the finger as they said highly likely. russia pose the question is this it would be hugely embarrassing now for said politicians are many others in the commons if it didn't it didn't turn out to be russia who are responsible to that put huge pressure on the police the investigators can withstand such pressure. of course as to anonymous political pressure on the investigation which is still ongoing do you wouldn't think so given the set to cheat with which boris johnson and his cool thinkers of blamed russia it's clear to me that the british government

which is mired in crisis over break. has been bounced into pointing the finger at russia prematurely by the reaction of the media in the u.k. which rushed to judgment the very hour that the attack to police or march fourth and it's clear that boris johnson when he comes out with these. unlettered opar so against russia does so no as a foreign secretary of the british people but as a foreign secretary of report murdoch's tames newspapers and other organs of the establishment media that have been pushing this anti russia campaign of late so we are a very very dangerous period as a c. and it seems clear that george johnson is no sets on sabotaging the world cup in russia which is in itself contemptible u.k. russia relations it's hard to think of many high points over the last decade this is going to be close to a new low do think things will actually get worse though before they get better.

it's hard to see as i say unless someone can reign in the wakes of boris johnson then he can only get worse the fact that this man can even become any occupy any position of any responsibility and any government is beyond belief it's b.s. it's past the stage where we can laugh at border's johnson he is not the level lovable rogue he is widely depicted among his supporters this man is neo conservative warmongering zealot and if we're talking about soccer as a comparison with regard to the world cup i just cash your main back to one thousand nine hundred fifty when the england national team arrived in berlin to play a friendly against germany this is that new pedia twin britain and france were handing over czechoslovakia to her.
