years later, that legacy can be summed up with a few choice words, division, failures and confidence in shame. history will remember show by the washington replies the russia gate card, as the us attorney general times r t is helping moscow interfere and this year's presidential election. the 3 things are certain in life is death, taxes, and are sees in appearance. and you are selections that tell are pressed office to sit back at the allegations. dear cnn, we certainly have a response. actually, we have several, but we couldn't decide on one. we even thought of running an office poll. so here they are. 123. also a head, the new leader of bangladesh, held by the west as the countries in great time,

a credit kobus slammed for lifting a ban on his mom. this organization known for atrocity during the countries in battle for independence. the live in moscow, you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble. our tate was banned in the west in 2022. but that's not stopping us from meddling in this year's us presidential election, at least as, according to the countries justice department claims russian. and that's specifically our very own network is engaged in a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of the trump harris res ortiz editor in chief, marguerite assuming y'all, and has been sanctioned by washington in response. she has asked what officials there would do without a convenient boogeyman like us. the one thing i don't understand is if they finally kick us out, how would they hold the next election? they have no other scenarios at all except to undermine a competitor. scaring the penguins over his connections with the almighty are

t. i'm pleased of course, but suppose we leave completely then what they will cancel the next election. oh, they will cancel. i can feel it in my heart, or we won't leave. it does feel as if we've just been here so many times before. it's like, can you just come up with a new narrative? yes. we know all she's being accused as again, of propaganda. these allegations just made now by the attorney general in the us and the obligation is that there is this private website which creates fake news website that is linked to all tea, although he provided no evidence of how it's apparent a link to archie. and that is being used to metal ahead of the us selections to influence people as to how are they going to vote. and i mean, i have to say, yeah, they have to question how precarious the system is in the us. if apparently one fake news website i can make people decide to but one way or another, or to really sway his entire legs across. well, how many states,

how many millions of people, i mean, that is a pretty incredible in simulation. now as a result of these allegations, new sanctions being put in place against all these editor in chief and also at 32 internet domains have been seized by the us government. so pretty strong allegations, but no evidence to back it up so far. yeah, i have to admit, i didn't realize archie had so many viewers in america, especially since that we can't even see it has there. this comes after a cnn report where our tea was accused of meddling and our channel issued a response. uh, walk us through it. yeah, that's right. so archie, not taking these allegations to seriously say we've been here so many times for like come on, just have another story. just come up with a new idea. and as a result of all price office was requested by cnn to respond to these allegations

before we've heard from the attorney general given 3 minutes to do so, before cnn. i took its article public online and as a response, this is what our price office came up with. dear cnn, we certainly have a response. actually, we have several, but we can decide on one. we even thought of running an office poll. so here they are. one huh. 2, ha, ha, ha, ha, 3, i've got that for 2016 called and it once is cliches. back 53 things are certain in life. death, texas and ortiz interference in the us elections. 6, we got to earn our kremlin paycheck somehow. 7, somewhere. secretary clinton is sad, but it's not because of her. well, i know that cnn run the 2016 colt and once it's case years back. but i think my voice is that there are 3 things to, to the taxes and know how to use behind russian propaganda. and in the us, however,

the attorney general was asked about all these response to that cnn article that he seems pretty unimpressed. the saying the us is taking this very serious thing in date, russia today set the statement to fox news and some other outlets here. mocking the situation. they had 5 bullet points, a 6 bullet points, the 1st at heart 2016 once it's cliches. back. in all seriousness, there is a sub section of the country that when they hear rushing in interference, they may believe that it's not true. it's not a real thing. how do you assure people this is a real situation? i'm sure that was much funnier and the original russian. but for us, it's not funny. this is deadly serious, and we are going to treat it accordingly. so rachel, if i had a dollar for every time off, he has been accused to propaganda. i pay a very rich person. so i really have seen him so many times before us taking this

very seriously all to you saying come on, pull the other one. so far from the 1st time we've heard about banding russians for an attempt to interfere and us selections. what talked about the previous accusations and how to all those cases come out? well, i think the main one is back in 2016 when a trump won the election between clinton and that time there was a huge rush like 8 scandal we had outlets like, but speed and political constantly running thing up. this idea that russia had been involved in being to losing it in to fade and all different ways we have don't you don't see that as the democratic party was using. this was the don't see that was written up by a british 5. it turned out to be full saying russia helped trump in 2016. we had the d and c documents, the clinton email link school saying, you know, russia did basic was at the highest of most of no proof. and we had facebook and poaching accounts that will link to russia. we had auntie having to register back

then in 2017 as being for an agency. this is before we were taken off our in 2022, then 2003 is the managed list, or they should be in the hast of speech f, b i who defense keeping singling out individual attempts and saying to social media joining slot, facebook, twitter, this is the 1st one, need to go off the efficiency account, we want to take them down. then we had the justice department, special terms. so saying the s c, i claims that link from to russia, this whole bullshit. and thing was, they were unable to pull the admission to get some evidence to prove those links. we had the motor report, which was huge, the way back in 2019, again, trump sinks to russia, trump has been supported by russia. russia's be meddling, all tease be meddling again. turns out to be part of cases on full r u. d is then we have the clinton leads again from please link to russian,

back again with fools. we have seen so many times before. the thing just close to the point of a function and you have to question how we, the system is that you can assume that when the american movie merits has population for turning in woodson being critical of their own systems. that has to be enough to give me comments and the p american population on small enough to think for themselves to do so like that when they go to the polls in november. the thing and choose the candidates that they think is the best candidates for them to leave the country. all right, let's cross now to larry johnson, a former c. i a analyst, larry good. have you on the program with us. another wave of accusations against our tea coming from washington. what's your take on, on this whole election interference claims? do you remember the old saturday night live skid with christopher walken where they

were doing a blue oyster cold and walk and kept coming out saying no account about the account, but yeah, yeah, this is more, this is more cal bill. okay, so let's, let's start with the facts, fax number one to the countries in the world that has engaged with war meddling and political interference in the affairs of other countries. is the united states. number one, during the reign of dwight david eisenhower, president 19 fifties. he was responsible for over a $148.00 convert actions in or a $178.00 in $38.00 different countries, which included the over through the governments of iran and, and the governments of guatemala deluxe. jump ahead to 2016. it actually started in december of 2015. we're bred bowsky, a democrat operative, was emailing with john podesta hillary clinton's campaign manager, about how they were going to create the fabricate this relationship between trump

and proving as a, as an attack to they not only use it, was hillary clinton's campaign that let it. but they had the full cooperation of the c, i a, the cooperation of the f, b i the cooperation of much of the media. it was an entirely fabricated. and yet it was done not by russia. it was done by americans, by hillary clinton and her gang. so right off the bat, you what you get, what you have going on here today is mary garlands picking up the where hillary clinton left off. they did the concept that r t who is not allowed to broadcast in the united states, at least you can't get it on your cable news. i do have it on my apple tv cuz i had it from 67 years ago, but they taking it off. now you can't get the app on apple tv. you do have to try to watch it online, maybe with a vpn. but how is it that r t who is barely got

a presence in the united states and has one of the smallest, or you know, social media platforms as far as americans going to it is somehow this powerful entity, disabled to direct and interfere quote, interfere with the presidential election, the only interference is going on right now is the by the administration is allowing millions of illegal immigrants to come to this country to register to vote . so that you will have foreigners voting and what should be an american election. so this is an outrage. what is being visited up on russian entities is just, but it's it, this is one more example of the decline of the west. it's a descent into what i call style or mis tactics. this is reminiscent of joe stalin during the battle days of the soviet union except his not the russians doing it. it's the french, it's the brits this, the americans and is now also the brazilians cracking down. they're trying to crush

any opposition, voices, and it's a danger a larry, what do you make of the timing of all of this the american presidential election is just about 2 months away. now, do you think that this is all just deflection from the real issues? oh yeah, absolutely. listen. tamala harris is already falling into poles. you know, the gas lighting that went on presenting hers. you know, the 2nd coming to the virgin, mary, the that's now fall onto the side. and what's really shocking about this is like i've, i've had media experience going back 30 years, going back to 1994. my 1st gig was i was invited on the cnn to talk about the capture of carlos the jackal and sit there. and i did a pretty good job, i, you know, i gave good sound bite and, and i ended up doing every single major media outlet in the united states,

both the cable news and broadcast news, abc, cbs, nbc, all of them i was, and abc nightline, cnn crossfire, i did bbc, i did canadian broadcast cbc. what i discovered was most of those stations almost always would do a pre interview. they wanted to find out what i had to say beforehand. and then, depending on the answers i gave, they'd make us, uh, we decided to go a different direction. uh, we decided not to have you cuz they didn't like to hear what i had to say. the only, there's only be 2 television stations that i've been on. the never did a pre interview. one is r t r t has not, i've been, i've been not making a r t appearances maybe for 78 years ago it was started in 2016. all that no time was i ever did you guys ever do a pre interview to try say hey, what are you going to say? and at the same time i've ever been paid by you. the other one is press tv and

a ron. so to think of the i already of this, this, the russian tell it's r t and it's the iranians who don't ask these questions in advance to try to figure out what kind of propaganda they want to put out. it's, you know, it's interesting, larry, to your point about archie being not available to people in in america. and yet, here we are. supposedly, this big influence are on the selection. i was just back in america last month. coincidently around the time that the democratic national convention was going on and, and watching all the media coverage just absolutely fine. and the over comma, la harris. i mean, if archie is election interference wouldn't, isn't that election interference too? but no one is claiming that m assembly cn. cnn's coverages is insightful, influential. well, let's deal with some other facts. fax, number one, the united states for the 2024 has budgeted almost $4000000000.00 to influence elections in other countries. i think i've helped in that be so

national endowment for democracy. they've got $315000000.00 allocated. there's a pro, there's of allocation called count, a russian influence. that's 300000000. then you have the, it's called democracy programs. uh, that's $2900000000.00. so you have all of that up that comes, you know, it comes to $3500000000.00, but then we're not even talking about the billions of dollars as or at least hundreds of millions. i don't have a precise figure that the central intelligence agency is giving to conduct covert action information operations overseas, as well as the department of defense. and then on top of that, you've go to an airport, you'll find cnn international. you'll find that most nbc, you'll find fox news broadcast overseas. if the simple act of broadcasting news is, quote, considered for an interference, then i get the united states is the most guilty party of all. you know,

us officials claim they've set down a number of websites, allegedly linked to rush. i'm, i'm not familiar with any of the specific websites that they claimed to be misinformation. but i just remember over the years when we hear russian misinformation often times the stories under, by those laptop, for example, end up being a true. why can't the american people just decide for themselves? why do they have to have this nanny state government tell them what information they have access to? that it's 1984 for george orwell in the world. a big brother. you can't let people have independent thought. you know, the, the, the 100 by the laptop cases is an excellent example. i mean, not personal friends with the laptop for parent, man john paul mc, isaac. and i helped him from the very early on. once he was a sort of cut loose in a band and it was facing media attacks and with those 50 ones and former c, i, a officers came out after him to and to raise questions suggesting he was somehow

russian agent. i mean to just shameful, because i know some of them, and they, you know, they were lawyers and to abjectly lie like that. when you, when do you know that you is what the truth, this is just as it's disgrace. and so this, this effort to demonize, russia, is simply to distract from the disaster this unfolding here in america, americans to major cities are not safe. our borders are not secure. our crime rate is going up. despite the statistics, sometimes it's just as go lower and that's just because major cities stop reporting the facts. so it's all as long as we can have a convenient enemy outside. and that in this case it's russia, it's r t, it's the rush of media across the board. i. i think it's just disgraceful that it's

unfair. but you know, this is reminiscent of the red scare. so the 19 laid 19 forties, early 19 fifties. we, we can't accept responsibility, phone problems, we got to blame someone else. all right, we're going to live with their former c. i a analysts, larry johnson, larry, thank you. thank you, rachel. what's been nearly a month since bangladesh, this prime minister, was ousted and fled the country, but the new incumbent is already stirring up controversy after lifting a band on a de torres, as long as group known for tri city is committed during the nation's struggle for independence. are 2 states when a takes up the story. a jump macias allow me is bought less than a month onto the policy without molding bangladesh on grounds of terrorism. on the bottom protests with the country. the new transitional government led by us back nobel peace prize winner. dr. mohammed eunice has reversed upon on the countries and all this is on the policy is student wing and association organizations. the

government did not find any definite link between terrorism in the jermanti as long the bangladesh. its student wing is lama. chandra should be here and all other associated units of the organization. therefore, the government believes that the jermanti is law me, bangladesh is law, me, chandra, should be here and all other associated units of the jamal are not involved in acts of terrorism. often taking power you think was shy, would with praise, bye western media organizations with the crew portrayed us the restoration of democracy in bangladesh, the man who will lead bangladesh, his new k. so he could, government has returned to co nobel laureate mohammed eunice faces a massive task in bringing the country together. bangladesh is seeking to move on from political upheaval. unplugged shit, early wednesday nobel peace laureates. mohammed eunice was officially named chief advisor of the interim government. of these long been regarded as one of bangladesh is leading citizens. now, mohammed unice has been asked to lead his country out of crisis,

but some of the vote in the battle. and you might see as mommy could see, is k, i lie the bottom of this nice to this policy, or other is the most policies take power in the country. there are concerns here in india with the establishment that now with the shape because the, you know, gone, that could be the redone due to either the b and b, or possibly even some, these law missed bodies. how would you address those concerns? because democracy in democracy knew it could be. trump is a good thing is i did i, we, everybody hates updates. i hate the way she does. doesn't mean that he can, i've done that. so this is democracy, people for this is the bmc or anybody. you said you have to accept, develop busy as a press conference on the data find was lifted, the do monthly is allow me lead a struck a consider the a 3. what was some would say hypocritical time praising. finally that she freedom fighters, that help secure of independence from pakistan in 1971. during the years under east

pakistan, our bangladesh was part of pakistan we were discriminated against. we remember the freedom fighters of 1971 who helped us attain freedom. i pay my respects to them. this is particularly jarring for many given the policies opposition to independence . i think is violent role and attempting to crush the banquet that she labor ation, lupins, and those very freedom fighters. it now claims respect. in 2013 a mess uprising in dhaka cool for the execution of the policy leadership for that role in 1971 more crimes. citizen, many senior leaders of the policy have been hung to dialed off to being convicted of crimes against humanity, including killings, abductions of rights. bigler that says 3000000 people were killed by practice on the military. unable to enter the forces during that conflict with as many as 200000 women rights. a 2019 resolution in the us house of representatives expressed concern over the threat posed by this policy,

recognizing the atrocities committed during the liberation struggle. whereas bangladesh achieved independence in 1971 and established a secular democratic state, which is held him to either 163000000 muslims, hindus, buddhist christians, and a p a square. as this freedom was one at the cost of approximately $3000000.00 deaths. bolden, 10000000 displaced and 200000 women raped many at the hands of b. is the mist militants led by dramatic e as law me. whereas religious minorities, including hindus bodies, christians, and the muddy muslims has been attacked by g massey as law me. and this subsidiary is law, may structure, should be its, as the result of which hundreds of homes have been damaged, shops damaged or lucid in temples vandalized. whereas dramatically as long as the members have been links without guide to the town of i'm yes, a convenient me a goals. washington's role in the atrocities described in the resolution as during that time is the same with us to practice. stone is cold war ally in violation of

a congressional owns embargo. gmc, this allow me was banned as bangladesh secured independence in 1971. however, it started political activity again. a few years later, the organization linked to the most in brotherhood as long played i provocative road in the country. with many, including the recently i will say, prime is to shake, has a, you know, considering your mazda, you saw me, of collaborating with the genocide of bangladesh. she's she for instance, how function awfully is the most for the center of violence overall did in 2014, when elections were boycotted by the fund with us national this policy a key ally of just to you saw me. it is no politics but militant activities. it must be stopped. otherwise done actions would be taken against those involved in a terrorist and militant act, we won't let bangladesh to become a terrorist. the militant country again, the same. yeah. so you're repeating,

paula, but it's cold on the bangladesh nationalist policy. the distance itself from jim macias allow me it strongly condemned the killings in widespread violence which erupt it throughout the country and the run up to and during the january 2014 elections with at least 18 killings on election day members went on to judge the being paid to unequivocal the distance itself from democracy is let me in. hoff is that to you as well, which are regarded as the main instigators of the violence. stressing that policies which tons of terrorist acts should be banned. important. take the same 2 months is allow me registration as a political policy. what sort of vote i know this 2020 for the as long as the organization was found out, right? for intellectual, when protests over the job quite as the rope, the country in july and august, and left 600 beds. but the same as government was ousted from power and what was being described by some as a us back to the company. these new leader has welcom, do macias, allow me with open arms lifting up on so could even pay the way for

a ton to elect to politics when voting takes place like this? yeah. so just a moment off to the bottom process. the future remains on sets in, on terrorism has been normalized with bangladesh facing turbulent times and maybe even more unrest. our minister benjamin netanyahu held a foreign media a news conference this evening where he again insisted on having in his riley president presence in the philadelphia corridor. which undermines any guys a cease fire agreement. this comes as president by the report of late prepares to send another hostage deal proposal to hamas and israel and is demanding a final response from both sides. hard seas middle east bureau chief, maria for notional, joins me now to discuss. marie, a very strong stance from the is really prime minister on the strategic quarter. one more. can you tell us well, hello to you,

rachel? well, yes. last to a press conference for is really media prime minister netanyahu addressed for in journalist as well repeating. he's earlier statements word for word. like on monday, he use maps and slides to explain the importance of controlling the philadelphia chord, or a 15 kilometers trach between egypt and guys on its own. yeah. who believes, but this axis has been used by him. us to smuggle weapons, money and fighters for years, and that is really control now. insurance have mass one to be able to we arm itself in the future or smart go out hostages. we've been using yeah. oh for this explanation. and he had to do that as he faces growing criticism for sticking to this particular condition, which have mass opposes and, but ultimately complicates the negotiations as time runs out for the hostages. his own defense minister, mister gallant, and suggested that israel should consider relinquishing control off the corridor

for the sake of the do, reportedly stating that the 10 yahoos insistence costing the captives a lives similar sentiments happen codes by thousands of protest. those who have been taken to the street so phase well off to 6 hostages were found that in gaza and also invite his families of those hostages. some of whom opened the accused between yeah, how of sacrificing the loved ones to maintain control of the corridor? earlier in july and how mass accepted us back. 3 phase expired deal. dropping its demand for a permanent chose before signing. i asked mr. nixon, yahoo during this press conference a is really control over the philadelphia corridor. was ever mentioned in any version acceptance by him. us, and whether it's the only sticking point of this page within the apple denied that her mazda had ever agreed to anything and says, that's corey, the control is fall for me. the only issue on the table, let's take

a list of was these really control over the philadelphia cord or ever mentioned in any of the versions of the deal that had mass accepted. and today is a, the only obstacle to the deal, the only disagreement between, besides all, there are other disagreements. thank you very much. well, there, there is a promise in your question. there's simply long. you say it was an mention in the deal to come us accepted often accept a deal on the may 27th proposal that had 29 changes corrections 29, which effectively officiated, initiated any of them from any meeting was a rejection. in fact, a detail rejection of the deal. so while we accepted it as is we didn't make any changes and i didn't bring any new conditions. anything that contradicts anything that is said there, how much basically wiped the floor with it. earlier we have been

able to talk to at have mass member who said that the philadelphia corridor was not in the version, the militant, the group accepted in july and the israel brought it up later, sub attaching the negotiations. let's take a listen to what he had to say. the the, i mean the, the banking jump on the sign. i'm 15 has nothing but the deal. when they were having a great thing about me, but what was done sometimes they've been evicted. i've been with him or that they think they're all wrong vehicle. they're more better type need in the political kind of car for murder. i know way the for all the cause ladies that husband and all and we can talk more about the agreement will not be there for 2 months. what did you hear me talking? don't walk up to say what they're up. there's no, i mean it's already made. they're a big, they've been disney junior. they're part of the things that i run with several of

my meals during his presentation. the prime minister used again a map of israel that did not mark the west bank or rather to fix it as part of israel, which raise a question, i'm a journalist of whether this is now an official is really policy here is leaving it and yeah, who's on sir you have literally what the west bank of that map does that official policy now that the west bank doesn't exist? nope, i didn't include the dead sea. it's not thrown in the map. i didn't show the jordan river. it's on this map. i didn't show the sea of galilee there's on the graphical features. this is a population of what i didn't get agency lifted. got into that, it was talking about because there is a whole issue, a whole issue of what to do, what you piece between us and the palestinians injured in some area. i didn't get into that. that's another press conference. i'll be happy to do it. to wipe out

some of the misconceptions.
