the, the washington replies, the rush or gate card as the us attorney general claims are t is helping moscow interfere and this year's presidential election for things are certain in life death, taxes and our kids that are parents and us selection. that's how our press office has sent back of the allegations. 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. 123. and the is really prime minister repeatedly and says that control of the philadelphia cord or between gaza and egypt is a necessity. and the complicates the csr tossed with some of the

from our headquarters in moscow. this is our t international. i'm rachel ruble. our team has bands in the west in 2022, but that's not stopping us from meddling in this year. is the us presidential election at least as, according to the countries justice department and claims russia. and specifically, our very own network is engaged and a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of the trump paras. raise our to use editor and she's margarita send money on husbands sanctions by washington. in response, she has asked what officials there would do without a convenient boogie man 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 lead 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 teams 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 its apparent a link to archie. unless 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, have a nice phase, 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 a 32 internet domains have been seized by the us government. so pretty strong allegations, but no evidence to back it up so far. yeah. have to admit, i didn't realize archie had so many viewers in america, especially since like, we can't even see it has there. this comes after a cnn report where r t 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, a 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 it's 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 couldn't decide on one. we even thought of running an office poll. so here they are. one huh. 2, ha, ha, ha, ha. 3 hops outside for 2016, called, and it once is cliches. back 53 things are certain in life. death, taxes, and ortiz interference in the us elections. 6, we gotta 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 keisha is back, but i think my voice is that there are 3 things to to the tax. is it no hotels behind russian propaganda? and in the us, however, the attorney general was asked to file our case response to that cnn optical. and

he seems pretty unimpressed 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 that hot, 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've been very rich person, sir. you really have seen him so many times before us taking this very seriously, archie 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 elections. what talking 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 in that time there was a huge rush like 8 scandal we had outlets like, but speed and political, constantly running things up. this idea that russia had been involved that have been polluting it into food and all different ways. we have been told you don't see that as the democratic party was using. this was a don't see that was written up by a british 5. it turned out to be full, say russia helped trump in 2016. we had the d and c documents, the clinton email link school saying, you know, russia, the 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 and the

managed the old base should being the highest of the f b i who to century been singling out individual accounts and saying to social media joints like facebook and twitter. this is the person need to go off that this is the account we want taken down. then we had the justice department special council saying that the s c, i claims the link from to russia. this whole thing was they were unable to pull the admission to get some evidence to prove those links. we had the mueller report, which was huge, the way back in 2019, again, from links to russia. trump has been supported by russia. russia has been meddling . all chase be meddling again. turns out to be part of cages or full r u d is then we have to clinton links again from this link to a russian back. again, with polls we have c so many times before,

the thing is close to the point of it function. and the question how we, the system is that you can assume that when the american movie moses populate those for turning in. woodson being critical of their own systems that has to be enough to give me comments and the p american population. not small enough to think for themselves to dislike that when they go to the polls in november, that they can choose the candidates that they think is the best candidates for them to leave the country. but we spoke earlier with stevens, the goals, special envoy for humanitarian affairs, to the foreign affairs ministry of the russian federation. this says, washington 6 to hide the truth behind actions. it takes against russian media. a woman. this is something is general that they tried in the past, and they will try, you know, every election, because i think they're very afraid of the truth. and they are highly cognizant of the fact that they are engaging in the scroll down agreed that is going to be

exposed. department of justice is not really in the business of listening to the people uh to its own people. they're in the business of creating their own narrative and their own agenda, and secretly trying to push that for, you know, believe i think the most of the american people are starting to see that they're being lied to and manipulated constantly. they have a president, the can complete the sentence, you can walk without falling down. and you know, times in life and times and united states haven't been worse than 60 years. so these are all indicative of a failing, you know, system. and i think the people of the mass are not all stupid. they the, the, see what's up, this is the, you know, this information, this information propaganda. uh, see it or its

a playing field where they know that they are being expose. and the only thing that they can do back is, you know, outside of performing an actual qu, on a country where the opposing leader is. the thing that they can do is over and over again, try to create this information and misinformation and propaganda. and as i've said before, i've seen 2 different directors the see, i talked about how they spend so much of their time and money on this information. this is a very, very big deal that they're doing not just inside america, where there, by the way, not supposed to be working, but all over the world. you know, from top to bottom. this is just information machine is really designated and designed to on the whole, completely destroy the image of russia and its people

and our philosophy on how we take care of in the nation. and the people you know, come up with a lot of people. ready laughing at them, that's what they'll come up with. that's beautiful. and the us justice department kept insisting during this declaration about the legal actions against r t that americans are apparently, well too influenced by russian media. for years, the russian government has used r t to seed an amplify their propaganda narratives around the world. russia remains a predominant foreign threat to our elections. the government of russia continued to use r t to direct this information and propaganda. r t has used people living and working inside the us to facilitate contracts with american media figures to create and

disseminate russian propaganda. here, the justice department says americans are under our influence. now. do you feel influence that we succeeded in our goal? wait a 2nd. i didn't know, i know it was being influenced to you. you're telling me that over the past 7 years, i worked at this company that you've been all influencing me. this is unbelievable . now i've kept of course, i'm just kidding. in all seriousness, i mean these allegations against russia, from the justice department have to be some of the most absurd ones that we've seen throughout all of the allegations that they've given. i mean that moscow is really funding a $10000000.00 propaganda farm in tennessee to undermine trust in the us as institutions. i mean, as a result of all this, the buying a ministration like we heard earlier has put sanctions on our editor in chief margarita. see money on its launch charges against some of our co workers simply for not registering this for an agency. busy they were allegedly posting videos and

content on the internet. it's all really strange. i mean, on top of that, the attorney general claims that this was done. uh so that moscow could get some sort of preferred outcome of the out of the future elections. even though the, even though there's the fact that kamala harris has only said, pretty much negative things about russia. and if we look back at donald trump's presidential administration is, you know, the term where he did serve in the white house. he continued a regime of sanctions against russia and did pretty, pretty much continued a lot of what was going on. but for that, i mean, now it's important. understand also that this new wave of anti russia mania that we're seeing. all of a sudden, i really began, i would say, when kamala replaced bite, and uh, in the as the democratic nominee for the upcoming elections. and these are accusations that we've seen time and time again. uh, often around previous elections, like charlotte mentioned earlier in the program or on 2016, like in 2018 and now we're seeing the same thing. and every time we see these

charges it's against the russians who are not located in the united states. and it will likely never, uh, go to court over this stuff. right. and it's convenient enough for the united states that they'll never have to actually prove these allegations in a court of law based on the people they're actually going after and trying to charge. and another thing it goes to show is just that this really is not about the so called russian, this information like the authorities are, are saying really this has to do with the fact that most of the media, most of the media in the united states, i'm talking about the mainstream media, of course, is completely controlled by the american political establishment and r t is one of the very few media sources where you can get alternative information that actually give some sort of the alternative perspective. there are very few of them, and archie probably has to be, i would say one of the most popular. we saw an example of that last week when met

a ceo, mark zuckerberg admitted that the biden administration had pressured him to censor and suppress stories connected to cope with 19 back in 2020. anyone further to say that the government actually told him to suppress a story connected to the hunter binding corruption scandal, which ended up being not connected to russian, this information at all. so this sort of independent position that r t has is something that's very dangerous for america's leads and very good for anyone who's looking to think outside the box. journalist robert and lucas joins me now to discuss the matter. so roberts, here we are another election cycle in the us, another wave of accusations against r t coming from washington. what's your take on the latest election interference claims as well? there's a few ways that we could approach this. obviously, there are the allegations themselves and how the us should actually address things like this. and then there is the united states and it system um, i mean,

looking at the united states and how it operates itself around the world. it's it sort of modus operandi that it goes around the world itself, not just influencing boston elections. the over probably saw frame states and a store lane profit receives that they control themselves. and then on top of that as well, the us system is basically one where it's, you know, you can offer up the most money you will be able to buy the politicians out. that is the us system. if you look at the cube, a lobby, if you look at the a pack of all the a pack openly and publicly brags about buying politicians essentially say everyone that they've endorse them back is in office, and they're able to destroy a candidate to otherwise may 1 there that's what was even in local elections if you want to talk about foreign influence in the united states. what about marian 8 or saying, who is israel rich is billionaire, who gave a $100000000.00 just gave

a $100000000.00 orders to the trump campaign with the understanding. and we know this from hearts as well as most trusted newspaper. with the interest in mind that donald trump is going to be elected, he's going to recognize is rarely not ex, ation of the west bank. and of course, that is in violation of international law. it goes against standing us policy for a very long time. the us system is built so that politicians can be bought, that elections can be bought from, are talking about the media spirit. however, in these allegations that come out against r t and it's not just r t, it's any off position. for instance, we have here similar allegations made against iran as well the somehow because r t is operating as communicating the points of view with the americans, right the they listen to it's an english and i understand a different points of view that somehow this is such a branch and this is meddling in their elections and that, you know, some website is going to somehow swing the us election. if that is true,

that there is all this information out there. then you could come about that by combining the talking points directly and engaging, but they don't want to do that because the other side has a point. and so they con, acknowledge they, they kinda acknowledge it. oh, that's the opposition, have an arguments, and they don't want to do that because as soon as they start admitting what their role has been around the world and the influence campaigns, day of the, as well as for fuel in for a nation's including in russia as well, by the way, then their propaganda will full of parts uh, in front of their own eyes. yeah, it's, it's really interesting um these allegations for, for many reasons that you just outlined there in the report claims that are to use coverage influences us voters. but our team for the last 2 years has largely been

unavailable in the united states. how can americans be so easily influenced by a news network that they can't even watch or will even if they are influenced? let's take that as a, as facts per 2nd. and consider that, you know, millions of millions of americans have been influenced by the points of view that are communicated on our team. whether that be on different fall or, and public policy issues or a block party to vote for, for instance. then they have their own lines, the basically they're telling their own public that you're so stupid that if you listen to a foreign channel, right, a channel which is broadcasting views, which oppose that of the united states government. that they'll just be so dumb that they will accept anything that they see on television and they aren't critical thinkers. that's is essentially what they are saying is that their own people are stupid. and that that can be so easily implement influenced by

a r t and other for him channels for instance. and so that is really what the obligation is at the end of the day. they don't like to come back, the actual talking points which are made. and they don't like to even engage and get it in their eyes legitimacy. but because they refuse to engage because they continue to censor because they continue to essentially said that anybody in their own country, whether they be journalists, are active, this, or anyone that is doing any thing, any sort of action or speaking against us policy in any way must be controlled by the process, governmental, chinese government for the iranian government, they lose more and more credibility themselves and people do just begin ignoring them laughing at them and that in of itself, the sanctioning and the a censorship in of itself makes. it undermines us. institutions, it undermines the legitimacy of the united states government and their sports people when they're speaking because they don't actually entertain, engage with,

and responding to the accusations which come in our levels against them. because if they do like we just try to the porch, if they do respond to these accusations, they have to make, they'd either have to lie, like they often do. or they would have to admit many places where they are wrong and they are acting in an immoral way. right now the united states is literally funding an army, a genocide. that is what the us does right now is, is a visual policy platform. and then when it said it was pressuring b is rarely government to stop this genocide, which is all the population. all mass disagree with. they want the ceasefire when there was a chance for them to do that. and they said that they were pursuing this spar agreements, they decided that they would go ahead and just they would approve of $20000000000.00 arms package. so that is the united states government if they use the questions,

lie of few skates, sensor and then just to choose everyone who has an opposing point of view of as being or an agent. and that is what we see today. and it's, uh, it's quite pathetic, really when you look at it, because it's about attacking the messenger. and ultimately, you know, with all of the lobby groups in the united states and all of the foreign influence campaigns 0 go on going. this is, you know, such small p not saying that a website was created and that party is somehow so influential in the election. and basically what i see it as if maybe if the democrats lose again, and donald trump takes off is they're going to again, for 4 years. i talked about how russia, you know, sold the election like they did the 2016 and look at that. so that case fell apart . fun on times ahead. i hate totally with their general us to robert and like us,

robert, thank you. an upright minister benjamin netanyahu has held a news conference for foreign media this evening. he doubled down on israel, having a presence in the philadelphia card, or which undermines any gods a ceasefire. agreements. this comes as president by them are part of lead prepares to send another hosses deal proposal to homos and israel and is demanding a final response from both sides or the middle east bureau chief maria from ocean over parts. the last press conference for is really media prime minister netanyahu addressed for in journalist as well repeating his earlier statements word for word . like on monday, he used maps and slides to explain the importance of controlling the philadelphia core. the 15 kilometers stretch between egypt and guys. on the turn. yeah. who believes but this axis has been used by how much to smuggle weapons, money and fighters for years. and that is really control. now insurers have mass

one to be able to we arm itself in the future or smuggle 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 had last 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 2. great supposedly stating that the 10 yes was insistence costing the captives their lives. similar sentiments happen codes by thousands of protests. those who have been taken to the streets of age rel, off to 6 hostages, were found dead in gaza, and also by the families of those hostages. some of whom opened the accused attend yahoo! of sacrificing their loved ones to maintain control of the corridor. earlier in july from us, accepted us back 3 phase, these fired deals dropping its demand for

a permanent choose before signing. i asked me submit and 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 that they stayed within the echo denied that how much had ever agreed to anything and said, that's corey. the control is fall from the only issue on the tables. was these really control over the philadelphia core door? as i 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. austin 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 condition. is anything that contradicts anything that is said, that's how most 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 attachment, the negotiations for the internship, public sign people and has nothing but the deal when they are having a great thing about me, what, what things done. same is what are they make they, they would can order that. they think they're all grown the they're more better type need in the political kind of car for my good no way they brought in the cool

lady, but husband and all i'm with them talk more about the agreement will not be there to mine what to hear me talking don't mock up to say what they're up. there's no, i mean the 3 me, they're a big, they've been in your, your call is that a run? we settled my meal. they really were or bite them. but both the britain, they want to do it the account that i'm not going to believe about 3 of you have to bring it up result in the not the thing that the me but i'm better we want to uh, put it in our community before the uh, we are only a big we're our cleaning method to get there or to the bulk of being on the sticker of the rebate. the media cool, blooming face and football me was the one. during his presentation, the prime minister used a gun and map of

a israel that did not mark the west bank or rather depicted it as part of israel, which raise a question. i'm a journalist. you have literally wiped the westbank off that map. does that official policy now that the westbank doesn't exist? nope. i didn't include the dead sea. it's on tone in the map. i didn't show the jordan river. it's on this map. i didn't show the sea of galilee nice on the graphical features. this is a population of what i didn't get agency lives, didn't get into that. it was talking about because there is a whole issue, a whole issue of what to do, how do what you piece between us and the palestinians. and julian scenario, 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 and the slanders and laws that are directed at us. we don't intend to drive these people away. they want to drive also way. bottom line have mosse and these rel, remain far from it deals with both sides pointing fingers at one another. despite some encouraging and positive signals from washington. a key mediator hiring to

have mass holds $101.00 hostages with at least $6.00 to $6.00 believed to still be alive. however, this continued pain passed only jeopardizes the prospect of those hostages. returning home, safely, as time has quickly running out on i now back to our lead story and the us attorney general as accusations of r t and other russian media outlets influencing the upcoming us presidential election. or these press office has responded to the allegations. 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. talk to ha, ha, ha, ha, 3 i for 2016 called and it once is cliches. back, 53 things are certain in life. death,

taxes and ortiz interference in the us elections. 6, we gotta earn our kremlin paycheck somehow. 7, somewhere. secretary clinton is sad, but it's not because of her. it's most abraham farmer, olivia, and government information minister and spokesman told us, washington looks for an enemy to distract us. citizens from real problems in the country. why didn't have the station or, you know, the elections are coming in and 3 months that trying to dive batch the american as thinking analysis away from there we get problems towards a full member of the american people i, the russia and this time deck deck is on our team, you have the u. s. agency for international development, short and so us a very famous you'll have the national endowment for democracy. all of these other agencies, you have the u. s. department of the state beauty of democracy, human rights, all the fees.
