and that's our questioning, really the russian leader. why is it just him part of things very selective in its treatment. and of course, the overriding fame between the 3 man in stage talking about cooperation between the nations in russia's far east and the region of the world of pacific rim, which is becoming more and more important in terms of many, many aspects at talking that there will be or a new card or needs to be built from st. petersburg to vladivostok where that was occurring. it would be some at 10000 kilometers because it would go from different coast to coast and that it would construct many russian regions. not got a lot of support from the chinese representative and also the malaysian prime minister to so so much shopping so much being spoken of by the main use like we will go through in the coming hours and bring it to you in some detail. but for now,

let's get on to other ad world news. yeah, it is just me day here in the russian capital, our top story, archie, us here are news channel. was bombed in the west 2 years ago. but the part is that you bought the house and stopped us from meddling in this year's u. s. presidential election novice, according to washington's justice department. it claims russia on specifically our own network is engaged in a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of the trump harvest. race ortiz, editor in chief, is among those sanctioned by american officials, margarita simonian question, how the united states would cope with all its a convenient bogey man. like us. 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 r 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 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 its 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 you have the have to question how precarious the system is in the us . if apparently one fake news website can make people decide to, but one way or another, or to really sway his entire election 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 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, i have to admit, i didn't realize archie had so many viewers in america, especially since they can't even see it has their 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 all the, not taking these allegations to seriously say we've been here certainly 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 couldn't 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. 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 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 pressure today. set the statements of 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 subsection 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 it really has to be 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 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 and 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 in a big, polluting it into fade 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 saying 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 were linked 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 face being the highest of the f b. i who just send shipping, singling out individual accounts and saying just social media joins like facebook and twitter. this is the person need to go off the business 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 motor report, which was huge, the ways that back in 2019, again, from links to russia, trump has been supported by russia. russia has been meddling all to be meddling again. who turned out to be predicated on the phone? all you did is then we had the clinton leads again from please link to a russian back. again. was full. we have the so many times. the thing just close

to the point of a fraction and you have to question how we, the system is that you can assume that when the american movie merits has possibly substituting 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. that is still nice 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. like colleague charlotte dubin, ski and rachel with the, the us justice department kept insisting during its declaration about the legal actions against r, t and americans are just too prone to 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 to we succeeded in our goal. wait a 2nd. i didn't know, i know i 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 and 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 c manion. it's launch charges against some of our co workers simply for not registering this for an agents while they were allegedly posting videos and content on the internet. so 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 the 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 selections, 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 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 who are 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 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 that last week when met a ceo marks dr. berg admitted that the biden administration had pressured him to censor and suppress stories connected to cobit 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 our t has is something that's very dangerous for america's elite and very good for anyone who was looking to think outside the box. former ca on the list, laurie johnson told r t dot americans are facing themselves a form of terminate or even making factual statements can make one guilty by association in the countries in the world that has engaged with for meddling and

political interference in the affairs of other countries is the united states. how is it that our 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 go into it. somehow this powerful entities is able to direct and interfere quote, interfere and the presidential election. which really shocking about this is like i've, i've had media experience going back 30 years, going back to 1994. and i ended up doing every single major media outlet in the united states, both the cable news and broadcasts news, abc, cbs, nbc, all of them. what i discovered was most of those stations, almost always, we 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 it so we decided to go

a different direction. we decided not to have you because they didn't like to hear what i had to say. 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 now and i've been, i've been not making a r t appearances maybe for 78 years ago. it was started in 2016 at 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 iron, do you have 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. if you don't want to take it may be a matter of time before they come after me. but i'm going to keep speaking now if i come from a heritage of 28 ancestors that followed the american revolution that fought against the british tyrants. and uh so, you know,

i'm committed to upholding those kinds of freedoms. were once again facing a form of tyranny. in this country, and they're trying to do guilt by association. that if he even say something favorable about russia, if you say something, this factual about rush, that you were accused of being a puppet approved. but you know, tell me the truth is, what is it? i'm going to speak to speak the truth. let's get a range of reaction and we begin with. so it's african politician in co c mon, daylight joining us live on the program from versus far east. we appreciate your time today, sir. another wave of optimizations against our tea coming from washington. very reminiscence of 2016. what do you make of this latest attack on us of the lead?

this is what we are experiencing at the retro to that is coming from the united states of america. guys the same that the been witnessing in the occupied palestine and the width outages that i have been beaten eh, band and kicked out of the occupied part of the side by desire mist entity. you today, i'll witnessing the same hypocrisy in the united states of america, where oddity is uh, being a subject to the same eh, bedding the, to the outages of his witness. it is a real time that the us citizen bri. it's totally me, is to look into how a freedom of speech and journalism is being silenced and needs to be gotten voice out, stuck into this. it cannot be accepted,

not in the free world as it were. you have such a, a precedent that is emanating from the and the we believe that continues to do the necessary web to cover the stories that emanate from the account. on the timing of this i q is ation the american presidential election. just 2 months away . now, do you see anything in the accusations coming right now? i of the yes, absolutely. this is a particular time where the u. s. a one said to keep the international community outside the zip or missions of how the elections will be carried out. if you have the gordon as an observer to really

upset countries during elections, you will know that we really don't know if it's just ability in bolton, pause and bolting stations, and engagement the width of the voters. and in this, the god they don't want to see of t doing the coverage on the united states elections. and this is actually, paul could say, because the united states of america, the, for us that wants to go to every election, predominantly in left in america, in the us. we couldn't continent, and subject to law said to having them as opposite of admissions in our country. where we know that effectively they participated in the same change right to all, to the left in the american countries in the office, in continental washington. it's still taking digs out our t despite i think it's worth very much very pertinent and pointing out that we're

buttons in the west. yeah, we're seeing is a threat. why do you think our network is being seen as such of the life of t and a it last year continues to be a friend to the global community. we and so it's off the car and also the car or the general have always said god, that russia to be a friend and pop not to all very own develop and you know, as salt off or call relationship dates bed during our duck as days. any describe the full evaluation and we've solidified all relationships with the last year through by electrodes and with the participating in the breaks formations. so many of the countries have always sitting at a russia as a friend and pop not to watch development. whereas in the worst, it is a competitive eh,

and to do that is being seen by the west as a real problem in terms of the own. i had given me and jimmy point not system last year has offered the hand to a mode to plot or to system where we are speaking all for a part of the countries participate to one. you quote 14, with the acknowledgement of the independence of reading it to states participating as e quotes. this, therefore is beginning to wear out the domain. and so if you knew paula system and they had good money offered the western imperialist the system. but why fi or the alternative view, people are becoming more and more new on state. they want to decide for themselves and get the information and then come up with their own opinion. more and more in

the west. you're not allowed to do that. you're not allowed to hear perhaps the view from certain sectors all of the globe that in your view, is that going to be a very bad thing for the west? people going forward? is that short term? is it the? absolutely it is. so does it mean because the, in the reality we all seem to be empowered with information. we all rely on real time use and a we are open to various opinions in order to shape our own understanding of the political try meant while we are in this regard that we have seen in the united states of america, a huge government and particularly in the media space all for the is i missed the

agenda and therefore it is a b, belong to have the foreign operators in the media space be able to provide an alternative opinion to what the us media has been perpetrated. many that come to a present markets on often called and left in america. as the taurus, the surprise, been shopped of the reality of what the receiving end can make the plastic example in regards to the policy me an issue. the news that are being off for the western media uh of propaganda that is in favor of desire and is the entity. whereas when you then come out of that space and you come on the african continent and you go into lucky, not very cops, you find that the news agency like press tv, autumn, t, o julia, really or for

a different opinion of what the reality is in the cold, and this is beginning to expose the lies in the propaganda that is being perpetrated by the west, the media. and this is why the u. s. today is trying to capt. visit by brittany, the lives of our t, from operating in monitoring the elections to be fair and transparent. pleasure to have you on the program set out for ken, politician and grandson of nelson mandela, and cosi montela, and many sites as well as dell of into there's another grid guest on the program join just now and we do appreciate you holding on sir at leo need us chris, on top of this one more quick ambassador to many nations, including canada, on poland, and also diplomats, your initial reaction. when you heard this, that the priority of washington's elite is r t. i'm that this seems to be the focus

for now the, the election roman. well, 1st of all, i was very happy that the r d a reacted with the, with the humor to the stability of the us or thought at these because it's so deep stupidity that can characterize this. and actually, i think that the usa is acting like a rock state and the, the, by the administration has created the story. i think in order to blame a, this so called drug should intervention for their potential failure in the polls. so if, if they don't go well, they will justify their, their, their failure by saying that it's russian spoke fault. but also, i have to underline here. uh, what was the candy they,

the vice president mentioned last month, which is which i think is very serious. uh, 2 votes, said that there is no guarantee to pre speech or on this information or hate speech, and specially around our democracy. so this is no fearful threats that if the democrats are elected, there might be problems was freedom of speech in the united states. and they would like to control everything. it's like going back to the period of mccarthy extra. and the, the last russia gates episode 2016 as you well remember was, was a hoax. it was turned out to be, it was an, it was admitted to an adventure, really thought it was. what do you think, sir, that when americans hear these latest accusations that,

that they take it seriously? i doubt it. actually i, i very much doubt it, and that's why i think that drove, how should they should continue reacting it by mocking the administration and with a sense of humor. because i mean, don't forget that nothing as a previous speakers said, nothing is, is mentioned about the general side of the palestinians that are taking place in the, in the, in the israel. and as my de la previously said, that, i mean if you leave the west that you go to the other areas of, of the grow, shoot, a humanity gets another perspective of what this actually happened. this is a problem that the west, just basic for example, i me, i us, it like greece. we just here, uh, the western propaganda all day since we,

we, we can not have the rest of the day here. i think that in the united states, you can still play, but this lack of objective information for us in europe is, is quite serious, difficult. it, it to creates problems to are receiving a project up information to what's going on in the planet. under planned us officials claim that they've shut down a number of websites, allegedly linked to russia. but the issue is, we've seen no evidence publicly presented all these links to moscow. do you think we will? i know i very much doubt it because as was said, the before these cases will will never reach reach the court. so the or for these uh can uh, come up with solve this false information. uh, damaging rush up today which have nothing to do with reality. as they, they're,

they're using that because they know that they will never have to provide evidence, concrete evidence in the case of the court if they can, because they know that these issues will never reach the court. and i think the issue as well is that what's being spoken about a lot on there? they are not denying this is not, is fox. we're talking a lot of issues that affect normal americans the, the crisis on, on the southern border. you've got the cost of living, you've got a tax, peer money going overseas, the funds, foreign wars, and nobody is denying that. but all of a sudden this is seen as doing it, this service to the american public. you know, they surely can make their own mind up about what they want to listen to, especially in an election year, 2 months side from this as well. the timing of that maybe we can touch upon as well

. but this is all coming out in a stream just a couple of months away from the ballot. yes, the same thing happened in the 2016. and i think that as i said, the doubts, if that's uh the by the administration, is afraid that they will lose votes and then order not to move a boat. so they have to find the anatomy at that, at a me is a rush or that's why they're coming out. now, 2 months before the elections, we are becoming popular increasingly with viewers in the global size as well. and that's to our pride because we, we speak to a lot of people that maybe haven't had a voice in the, in the legacy media. do you think that could be one of the concerns that's that's possibly we're having mother more of a, a foot print in these areas. these on heard voices. yes. because

uh in the those countries that can seize you that where, where are t is? so is visible, it's a very important means of information for the people living. so as i said, unfortunately, the date here in greece, we cannot hear you and another uh, e u countries because of this of this band that has been imposed, which i have called them to very many times in my previous interviews, which is totally on democratic and the situation is getting worse. i mean, i think that did one or 2 years or people who wouldn't be persecuted for speaking against the european union. this is how bad the situation is developing. how does this move? just all not situate. how does this move against our tea tally with us principles and freedom of speech? it said it's totally contrary because.
