taken here a special year with regard to russia but it continues to build up a threat. don't need to and it continues to work against us in a confrontational movement confrontational he's dangerous and new in new money being. located to the defense so-called defense but in effect it is build up performance will grow bored out of these does not bring the end of this is better for european security is it going to be difficult to persuade people here in this country that that is the truth when media in this country continues he tells us he too is defensive against your threats russia is that. the problem with the united kingdom is that for recent 3300 years we have unique situation or revelry to each other i think that it is that a bunch of deficient in that sense about the people in this country the

establishment even in the highest circles of the still do believe that russia is a competitor and think they are in a competition for influence and of course of these does not contribute to make a relationship better especially in the last peter the time when we see that but he didn't due to internal developments break as it pulls worlds cortlandt is. going to miss cortlandt its influence on international every night is declining crypts it does not play such at all as in the past of course. many years ago and when people in london see that russia. build up its influence in the world in the middle east the becoming somewhat corrupt this is what i sense because people who support breaks would reject that. it's

a breaks it is a renaissance for this country but actually those who oppose breaks it those who oppose scottish independence those who oppose donald trump say you and your government are involved in hybrid warfare which is why we have break city which is why trump is the president the united states why whoever wins the general election on the day somehow your country will have been involved. it is pure speculation. in the 1st place we can not influence even from a distance or he hear of 70 and millions of people who are determined themselves how to leave and what to do in the future i had already chance to analyze so that during. 2 weeks i'm here but actually there are some probably about a 2 schools of thinking as i understand one believe that it will be a prosperity it will be

a flourishing of the concert for additional frequent i mean the other school of thinking that it will be a declining in national economics it will be a crisis or a couple of years and no money to spend for the government who is right we can only guess at what's going to happen in a couple of years in this country it is also interesting even for us can you understand why elites in this country would seek to find a and they need to blame the instability huge is the kind of outline that it is the easiest way out from internal discussions it is much more difficult for political parties is to provide programs in the comics in domestic affairs in politics the best of politics national house and they are those because these programs programs will look a bit to like. people do not differ these party from the hotel or what were the days of the spotted what's the use of the other party and so on it is but it is

much easier to get the launch accuse the against of some outside forces in this case this is russia of course. we have seen these in the recent days i will say is that even 10 days ago even that we could go. and newspapers abstain from these involvement of russian. object into internal debates brought her way over in recent days we have seen new ideas go to accuse us in cyber attacks and so on but really when i am reading of these articles so they are funny because i think it is fair to say and i think it's true you need to it is just pure you know and it's a fake it is just. i will see you would. hope to call it. it's a kind of a provocation just reflect attention well those on the right some people go to the

extreme right the buckley brothers telegraph said jeremy goldman's national health service documents somehow the release of that was facilitated by your government and on the liberal left russian oligarchs albeit some who are actually wanted in russia are accused of aiding boris johnson. both has nothing to do with reality as a president the 1st words that president trump has pronounced publicly when he has come to london is that he don't he's not involved and you know domestic affairs or especially one for health matters. but then the other said that we. were here at these names or for russian people who are unable to the end of the story kind of financing the cost really sort of easy to release the report yes but these names are not known at the world in now or in moscow or believe me and these are these people a british citizen if a citizen

a british citizen originated from india it will get on the walls or a friend in chicago or the so that political party doesn't make it big scandal or not really one of the one of the ledge to do it is the wife of the former russian minister. do not want to get to go into these details which is quite a way for his award perhaps he had 3 wife or you know the president who's minister treaties it's i have no idea and it does look many things. let's listen finish it up and this does not the russian government it is it is not our work idea this is not our case it just a person government took over this is strange you mentioned 300 years but strangely live in this residence when there are pictures of winston churchill and celebrations of the alliance between moscow and london and now we're talking about is your attempts to. attack this country. it is

really strange because similar picture of insurers so i have seen together with stalin or they have seen if that is the school for u.k. and best in moscow and it is only proves that we have. a long relationship between i would 2 countries and i would. people and some of the sensations some data scandals cannot affect in a long term relationship because of the key sure that links with 2 people russia or stand by our soviet union the. russian federation and the united kingdom they are stronger than one of these sensational infinite sets but it was they have been big changes britain and russia on the same side of iran i understand you helped negotiate but the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty which was the british

government have long supported. you are again on the british side on washington's decision to rip it up and destroy that treaty well yes 40 years ago i was part of the team that negotiated one of the. treaty is that has brought at the time to play into that relationship at the dangerous boarding to a european history and this was i and there it was as short i would say. agreement it. is a. lot. of contribution into the current current current world because it has diminished the threat and each year that it ceased to exist. we suggested a very simple think we suggested a moratorium or the deployment of any kind of. into intermediate range missiles in the europe and my prep is unfortunate he has sent letters to this and

to presidents or if you knew you were put through to the united states as well do you cade leave office and the response was meager it was say that they're supposed to do these extremely important matter is bigger when the president micronor has mentioned that we have to think about that we have to discuss to negotiate. on these but we still hope that leaders will be reasonable at some point in time we will get another important agreement which will reduce threat or. continuation of disability ation of emergence of stories continue crime stories you know the argument from london probably is that you will treaty the treaty that may have indeed saved this planet from nuclear destruction did not adequately address beijing another of the enemies as cool name to need to summit this week.

one of the argument exactly it was as you mentioned china and bridging but it's a very special country very special developments over it so. i cannot go at the moment into the details but it conducts its own poll this year and in at least i and i if we have an equalization of forces between former soviet union and the united states this was by a little thing one can not do it easily they say by little agreements into multilateral that are little or what they were this it has started to go with the role of the united states from a.b.m. treaty a.b.m. treaty into billy's tick missile treaty that was a cornerstone of desire among your disarmament and since that united states continue into this lying little bit from the new reaches it means that at some

point we reached a certain stability in the level of threat from both sides and all of these stability or flavor or threat from both sides. will be able to but then we have got elements which the whole world and it means that it has become and the world. it's become less predictable that the threat has started to grow and we need some new means to deal with that when you understand the significance of that nuclear treaty do you think that the british media scene does because there hasn't been a great deal of focus on the fact that the i.n.f. treaty which you say is so important for world peace is being destroyed they are. focusing on me or stance about violations by russia in the streets here but this is not the case we perfectly are aware of the fact that by the time. they have united

states has already prepared at least 4 different systems or intermediate range that are capable of. having a nuclear warhead the best i'll just stop you there more from the russian ambassador to london after this break. guys are financial survival. when customers go. well reducing our. that's undercutting not what's good for market it's not good for the global economy. and the special something we can dangle says. yeah but it also.

was over forget. about korea completely. russian athletes eligibility for the international competition season state this includes events like the kill kill in pigs and the for. the world cup in qatar if i am a daddy as last. year when you come out of the just as it was 4 years ago in moscow anti-doping plavix at the center of the scandal so who tampered with the doping samples database and what does greed or you want to give have to do with it and you know she's stupid but it was dr paul as i mean it doesn't. mean that he's the pasha in the richest book you'll ship by to expose me in the front of it all to the world so the polish in addition to.

facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark so. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be seen if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist for the more growth we give them the sooner we are all handed.

welcome back i'm still with the best. the media in this country most of it still images that you or interfering in this country. involved in hybrid warfare will do you see the role as countering disinformation in this country there have been revelations about british foreign office funded initiatives like the integrity initiative with journalists linked to the journalists who work at the b.b.c. and other outlets in this country will be countering disinformation. we are trying but we are not so might hear our will say you know we did have certain at them to define what is a hybrid war facebook advertisement paid by russian truth ums about literal forms.

that is not correct. and they took an interest in the border that is leading us to lead to this is neither us accounts or not it runs with right to define together what is it hybrid to war and we have so many different opinions from different the best of us believe me so it is impossible to for the moment to come to a conclusion there is a certain motion of her great war but what it is. it's a big question because in this world or woman accused in this cyberspace one a.q.'s anyone about anything ok but how do you actually intend to operate in this country given so many diplomats perhaps unprecedented numbers have been thrown out of this country let alone what happened in the united states that the russian consulates and russian embassy similarly we expelled similar numbers of diplomats from the

u.k. embassy in moscow in the united states and this and that we are in a similar situation and we discussed this issue was british embassy in moscow a letter but it started and we agreed with him that i were privatized to establish war or the embassy on both hands and we continue to talk about that as the storks very tough and there are difficulties between our ministers and between our embassies it involves other institutions but we are working to establish a moral functioning over both ambushes both in moscow and here in london because some of the explosions are to do with perceived violations of international rules by russia by nato countries but it was specifically in this country it was this group incident is the russian line the same that you still don't know where yulia script is a russian citizen even though it seems the reuters news agency was able to locate

it. there we don't know if they have as many people as such or forces or if they're saying just agency but even i haven't heard about that they did locate that huge eps for the interview they did the last known interview on t.v. with the earliest perhaps perhaps. we are going to defend her as a russian citizen no doubt about the steel of the whole case does not move at all we have no single piece of information that the what has happened a year ago do you think it will help this. and you have bastards are in town. perhaps and you government the new prime minister there has been ahead of this election this still has been no movement whatsoever on the screwball case or don't have a major coup or are told to do that before and you will government will become what we have asked we have sent about 80 different letters and notes to british government asking them for the new information but and i think it'll do you think

when there's been a german diplomatic spat to diplomats being thrown out are you prepared for diplomats being there now trim your embassy here in the near future because something else turns up in the british media and you know in the history of diplomatic relationship it happens from time to time even if you build stuff from earlier years of doing just century let's stick it in 1027 1st but our kitchen has a character but it does go on to say that for ever to cut off relations ship it lost it for 3 years abroad then it has come to terms and of these waves are coming and going you can. be sure to both that totally but how can there be any lasting trade in business relations between britain and russia if there is this continual in 2 minutes and. i'll still a-t.

and. i think between you 2 countries i can assure you of that great and business relationship continue to very good last week we have here 3 british russian economic forum's and we each has a truck that the boat serves and people i have eaten at this particular residence 250 guests for the unique reception instead of a 100 that has been promised and i can assure you of that business is for i think it's raise the rate a lot in the last 2 years. continue to grow and some companies some legislators company express bridges but don't be. and the others they if you think they are good in conditions there was are they working with our so they are doing the business and it's not just the quality of the log because of goods sanctions are a part of the relationship between the 2 nations and russia and presumably it came

up at the reception in the business people speaking to you when they feel full of 3rd party sanctions now being threatened by the united states the companies trading with russia we're leaving under threat or from your sanctions for a number of years but the more sanctions are being implemented against russia they're stronger is becoming and we are finding different means and ways. to leave independently from economists or because countries like the united states. how to deal i wouldn't blow problems just. getting out over the influence of the dollar and other instruments that we have disposable for united states and european union and you see that i would equate to me ease and i would steadily growing the one that make the city of london oppose you if you have plans for removing the federal reserve is the ice national guard.

so this is very interesting to the girls we had to rank to understand or there's at least mean to us also that use european a cancerous little wink or gold that is sort of for all of them so we are not we're not alone. doing doing probably doing that they're the closer to sort of. a secret operation i do believe dealing with it was going to. find so i cannot say i look at this wall go have little scar growth is a legend of course but. there is one point in it it has been as well as gold is that if using the dow took to give back to the government of any swell it which is a very bad example i think that some cancerous really are. with the become more cautious about having a lot of them as. safe banks are safe because britain prides itself on its standing up for the rule of law despite would you say about the gold of the bank of

england being being kept behind but ironically while the foreign office may we're told visas we're diplomats and so forth russia is opening up their visa system i understand to make it easier for people around the world to visit russia will british people be able to visit russia easier than the current situation with the complicated and quite expensive visa situation it's a good question or of course i think that british people are will not benefit from that because we have no agreements with the united kingdom on facilitating a visa over here for many occasions are we suggested for the year care government to start talks about a visa liberalization for a businessman who is students scientists professor and then i make or 2 of the governmental people to departments around but we did not receive reports at the 1st

because you're going to make it easier for people from the european union from china from korea from japan a $50.00 visa or is rumored but nothing for people from this country. i'd like to do that but we need to. pause it if. you need to for tango do you think also that the continuing room is ahead of the as the election will continue right up to polling day that somehow this is a russian election like. when many u.s. television networks the trump election was a russian election. there are 2 different situation the united states the russian factor he's a specter all for internal fight a bit to be a republican and democrats so they are using it in every way just to get benefits for might and i think that since other forces or with the euro or does not differ

better much eat it can play some little incident on friday in the u.k. it's situation is different you do not. believe do not believe. it we view or for having said this as a fact that i told it is a speculation is it is just a means to attack the tension ok well you've just been appointed ambassador here and there was an atrocity on london bridge even though nature was dueling about china and russia being enemies all around the world the threat of terrorism is seen as a global threat what about security cooperation between russia and britain your embassy here and the 4 surfaces over threats to the safety of your this country. before the crisis we have had a. necessary communication alliance wiese u.k. it was among them to fight against crime terrorism in only in terms of this is

important i think that there were attempts to do what he standish at least lines from both sides and i think that in a good spirit we are going to bring you these communications 16 of them important for security and of course i'd like the west again express our condolences to the victims of the breach and just on the on the prominence of these terrorists some of them have been seen to have. in the aftermath of the british war in libya of course britain has been bombing syria do you think russia will have a lot of intelligence that we can share with the british government on the terror threat here because gold trump of course just said britain should take back isis terrorists from syria i think that we have plenty of information about terrorism in the world and especially about terrorists that are active here in europe and moscow will be prepared to share this information those who are waiting to exchange of

these very important side i know that some capitals has already there down there is even if nato countries and that they have a no station because of the nature of relation all right well france has been criticized in the british media for making. these overtures i don't know what the names k. but also whatever it is because it is still not so important as a general desire to get into this important matter and we hope that a long time sooner than later we'll show the desire to do the same and that's to thank you thank you for that simple a special edition of going on the ground from the russian ambassadors residence in london see on monday when we speak to the former deputy prime minister was strongly who's campaigning for justice for julian assange of wiki leaks.

and there is only this johnson. and i just got out of prison for. 41 he is. 73 and so. i got arrested my son my. life just everything was taken out of. organized i think it was. meant to snow man that looks a little bit like me. about. homicide. now. that.

we're tough you is doing that so you're going. to go. on a friday try to try to get. good something right didn't. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely for watching the hawks.
