the, the, the united states respects and champions freedom expression, but we will not stand by as r, t and other actors carry up forward activities in support of russia's various activities that we are running out of popcorn. looking at what they would leave off for next are to react to the unprecedented acts of a censorship from the us after the impose assumption begins bond, that's what critical coverage of washington. you've asked the question for matt, for months and months about the global south and why there's not more support for ukraine is because of the broad scope and reach of r t and a russian foreign ministry reacts to the new round of, of just asians against our title, calling it the tourist of persecution,

raso red flags b u. k, saying the british used to have it didn't have to be in secrecy working from its diplomatic emissions to destabilize the well, the well continuing coverage of the latest trends shaping the. busy right now, this is our team to national i a michael fortune. now let's start without breaking news. i've been following satan's being champions of free speech, but not when it comes to our child r t a. that's the new us approach. as washington impose the fresh round of assumptions and r t k being that our world wide broadcast influenced minds everywhere. here, some of this, the secretary of state's arguments, a russian reputation. this information to subvert and polarized screen up of societies extends to every part of the world. in response today, the united states,

united kingdom and canada, are launching a launching a joints diplomatic campaign to rally allies and partners around the world to join us in addressing the threat posed by r. t and other machinery of russian just information and corporate influence party also secretly runs the online platform african stream across a wide range of social media platforms. now, according to the others website, african stream is and i quote, a pan african digital media organizations based exclusively on social media platforms. focusing on giving a voice to all africans, both at home and abroad. in reality, the only voice it gives is the kremlin propagandist. the united states respects and champions, freedom of expression, even when it comes to media outlets that winning we spread government propaganda and will continue to lead the world in defending and promoting media freedom. but

we will not stand by as r, t and other actors carry a corporate activities in support of russia's nefarious activities. now, an unprecedented move. the west has banned the organization as a whole, but while our t, as long as being blocked in the west, they're now trying to extend that towards the global styles by urging these countries to join them in the competing against the channel. now the reason why is the, is that they say that r t is the one to blame behind the lack of support towards ukraine. here's what they said. you've asked question for matt, for months and months about you know, the global south and why there is not more support for ukraine in this part of the middle east, or that part of latin america or this part of africa. well, one of the reasons not the only reason, but one of the reasons why so much of the world has not a been as fully supportive of ukraine as you would think. they would be given that russia has invaded ukraine and violated rule number. one of the international

system is because of the broad scope and reach of r t. we're proud again to just information and the lies are spread to millions, if not billions of people around the world. now james rubin, the man who started his career and the government, then moved to the media, then back to the government is now accusing r. t of being too close to the state. and while he also went on to best artie a little bit more and he tried to make the difference between r t and state funded american media. that's a big difference within our state funded media. i believe you may know. busy in this building gets to tell anyone that v o a or a fee or r l. what to say do are right. they ask us questions and we answer them. that's the difference between a state funded media organization in a democracy and one in an authoritarian government. the leader of r t is admitted that that's what she does and they do. and we've now given you

a norm as examples of how dangerous it is around the world, and i sure hope it meets your definition of something new. now they've also continued to claim that r t a news media channel has so much power to the point that it can influence and other countries politics are to, has also responded. we've been broadcasting straight out of the k g b headquarters all this time. no, but seriously, we're running out of popcorn to sit and watch. well, the us government will come up with next of all to us. now like last week, when they've introduced sanctions, a guess r t employees, they've now introduced the sanction binding the organization as a whole, which is quite interested in when you consider that the us really prides itself in freedom of speech. all right, let's get some reaction. now, to all of this and speak to the handle, the silver, all the secret hidden vienna, alexander markovich. alexander is good to have you join me now. so now we have

sanctions against ross of media over what they call cold, but intelligence and milady influence. why is washington doing this. busy all over again. well, i think um, 1st of all, washington is um, basically, um saying, um that's russia is doing what's washington is actually doing? so all the people's incontinence around to waltz, basically spreading um, propaganda, misinformation, and swats russell on the other hand is throwing off to put it up at a rush or 2 dates is it actually makes it possible that even that this informed masters of europe of africa off um that's in america, i can listen to a 2nd opinion to listen to an opinion which is closer to the truth than the western propaganda. because as we all know, if you will only listen to your opinion on the american news about the ukraine,

for example, we would still be thinking that you care for your trade news when it gets straight . instead, sooner or later, russia will cross under the myself western sanctions. so therefore on all these sections such as the a patrick reaction by the west because he's actually steering on of, of losing the game is losing the game of information welfare. and therefore you tries to censor f 3, every kind of opposition still available. and of course the rest of today on wizard some big outreach in the walls is of course an enemy in the eyes of the west, some propaganda me. now take a look at the allegations that blinking presented against our team cutting, malign cyber security and providing support for military operations about from, from is what he seems like. he sees the weaponized ation of media. what's your take

here? well, i think when it's about the webinar session of media, we know that the americans themselves, uh, mazda is mazda, is in these fields, like we know from the old days of the so called radio free europe. but also about the atlantic bridge shuttle onto the game show. how many and um in europe, which is basically about um the united states controlling to europe, the media and actually finding every kind of, um, opposition. so therefore, i think is letting me put in a split its, um, what's the west is actually, it's an empire all flies and therefore the west is really and deeply concerned about the truth and everyone. we're actually speaks the truth and stepped forward. they wants to suppress um, oppositional media like russia today, we're actually trying to come to is and pile flies and provides the truth. all

right, now another offer. so late a claim that's us media, subs, democracy. and that's the big difference compared to our teeth. what do you make of those words? well, if i a look at swats american media system, the last for 2 years to report to the about the so called weapons of mass destruction. i'm available in iraq, which lots to that, that for more than 1000000 people in iraq on the lights about um, a scanner send a live about libya. they actually lead to the death of millions and millions of people. and they are actually calling all these lies the truth. this makes you actually think about the sincerity and moral derangement of all those people in the west and claiming that they own the truth. but um, the only thing they own actually, um,

is being the mazda of this information. now, it was also claim that r t u has managed to prevent countries and the global salad from standing 100 percent behind you grade doesn't. that's what really have the kind of influence. well, um i would be really impressed if um, archie is actually able to control the whole of the global cellphones and make them think what moscow facing the eyes of the west. i think um, it's not the case that um, archie has maybe the function being multiplication and multiply um messages which are not in favor of the west also in the global self. and i think a lot of people, especially in africa and lots in america, really appreciate this variety and difference in use because otherwise they want to be solely dependent on the united states. the actually good see on the examples

of the war in iraq for example, are in the scan is done or when it comes to the arab spring, of course the united states um, used its power to actually manipulates millions and millions of people. and i think it's quite liberating, in every sense of the words for um, people in africa and asia and, and that's in america, that's they now have a different source of information which is actually not leading them into a crazy walls. revolution we're seeing changes and um, other uh, brutal adventures and under quite on the contrary um, isn't faithful for an error of cooperation and prosperity among the peoples. so i think the west is especially afraid because r t is providing here at different image, an image of multiple everything. um, in contrast to this um unit for my station of thoughts of manners. and also

of the information space um, which is actually um done by west the media, your very spot on there. have to leave it here now like that. i'm also a big head. all the silver, all these to do this. they are not. thank you so much for your insight. thank you for the invitation break. now the russian foreign ministry spokes, one bar, as i kind of, i said that the fact of the are to use objective information is reaching the most divest corners of the world is clearly getting on the, some people's skin resulting in washington, resorting to ets, a traditional tools of persecution. you should use those in, you know, some sickly. this is no longer about sanctions and it has not been about sanctions for a long time. this is about persecution, among them in the same way that people were persecuted on the basis of nationality, ethnicity, religion. so there was, this is what has been done around russia today. and in general, around the russian media, russian public figures, those people who are read on to really lay down their lives,

there will be in those people who call things by their names who are not afraid to say the trust who have gone through haley circles of pressure sanctions, persecution, of all kinds to motion one. so they do not get in so for they 2 hadn't been born in russia today or has not collapse. it has not scattered and this must also be understood. and this causes and comprehension in the west. first of all, in washington, it's great. we're thinking about ukraine yet, about ukrainians, about the future of the ukrainian people. they would not be worried about russia today, and they would be worried about the master's level of disintegration, disability of ukrainian society, but not about russia. today's interest in the context of ukraine, and accordingly, it is not about ukraine, but only about one thing without maintaining its own american dominance. the russian media, primarily those that are engaged in broadcasting abroad, show the fact that they are not demonstrating what pro russian position or they do

not work to improve the image of the russian federation. they provide objective information. and this objective information reaches different parts of the world war. there was not a single example of russia today, engaging in propaganda, this information down the fakes and so on. otherwise it would all be in court right now. but it isn't. that's why these measures are being taken. that's why the fight is for extermination. this is harassment to understand, this is persecution and harassment. this has been a for the races on the knots of them in its purest form. as mentioned earlier, the accusations against our t spiraled last week, when the us justice department claimed that russia had somehow been pulling the strings in the us presidential election. however, these allegations are nothing new. now back in 2016, moscow was accused of helping trump to the victory over hillary clinton. art is martin, sorry about has been looking at how the allegations of, of mass crab in

a different makes the headlines. regardless of where the fox, like, the west is all about, stop checking, right? okay, let's check some fast and then see who's the real liar here? let's start with russia and interfering with the us presidential election in 2016 as far as place so that there is no way from could with and when he did, they found the way to justify its massive interference in american elections, to the latter recruited personally, was involved in this, russia was meddling in our election, colbert, washington hacking operation. these hacks have taken place by russians. russians behind this, in some form, the russian state actors broke into the d. n. c. a recurring theme is it can see it says this here, there are also shaking in their boots apparently well back in 2017. the scandal was on arrival again, everywhere you look, you saw pictures of trump and who to the build up was great. just like a hollywood blockbuster mueller investigation was suppose to expose all from slings

to russia, and all the ways in which russia supposedly swayed the votes. it turned out to be a very anti climactic our conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy. if we had had car confidence at the present and clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so they could not provide any concrete evidence to support years of lies and vision information on their part to fast forward a few years as it's another election in the us, this time the new york post published data obtained from hunter biden's laptop, which exposed his father's corruption. oh no, it may or 3 weeks before the election, something has to be done. there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said

that what this is accusing me of is a russian plant. they have said that this is has all the car for 5 former heads of the c. i. both parties say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. nobody believes it except of his and his good friend, rudy giuliani. you mean the laptop is now another russia, russia, russia hopes? are you that got exactly what this tells you exactly what is where he's going the lot. all right up is rush. your show. i want to stay on the issue of right. you have to be kidding. here we go with the russia. they're all so of the noxious and soul search, and that it's a lie. you think that this was all set after a proper investigation? no, just opinions from so called credible journalists, who somehow think that they know it all, all the hallmarks of a russian, russian, russian dis, information russian, this information, this information can. this is a classic example of the right wing media machine. once again, over a year later,

it turned out that it was all along there. awesome. this information, part of the actual story because the laptop was very, very real and it was the mainstream media trying to shut down the real story. 18 months ago, 2 papers joined in the drive to suppress the posts reporting off the laptop playing a bogus, clearly partisan claims that it was somehow russian. this information never mind that we had not only authenticated the info and produced confirming sources like former hunter, business partner, tony bob zelinski, but also openly reported how we got it. unlike both the other papers and list anonymously source reporting on the trump, russia gate scandal, which eventually proved to be utterly fake. the product of clinton campaign, this information, and where big tech gleefully promoted the russian gate. nonsense. it's sensor the post scoops. that's the tactics. if something alcord or inconvenience happens, just play the rushes, but the time the world figures out the truth,

no one will care and of course we'll be on to the next lie. what's the 1st thing we heard about the noise from pipeline explosions that rush so then it is a no sense, totally defined logic, but that's for west for media was selling to the mass is russia is most likely behind as a, but it is likely that this is an act by russia, the assessment is that russia was behind it. okay, once again, where is the proof? because all signs were pointing elsewhere, but who cares? right? as long as russian, this information makes it so the headlines that's enough to pull the will over the rise. while there is not yet evidence to say exactly who is responsible for the north stream attack, there are, however, plenty of officials pointing at russia. state department spokesman ned price and several european officials all blamed moscow alternately calling them culpable for

the sabotage itself, or at a minimum guilty of leveraging the incident to smear the us. the key here is no evidence. there is no evidence yet there. always convinced it's russia that's very professional and or balanced on them, or see, show those accusations against moscow by the way. but the channel also presents of the over whelming evidence to the contrary. and guest spots. we were rights because 2 years went by and the so called truth seekers, in fact checkers had to change their to. the us believes it was a pro ukraine force, the sabotaged the pipeline early on a lot in the west, suggested russia did. it seems like maybe not the case anymore. there is this potential link to ukraine in that the company which initially rented out the seals and it said to the whole committee owned by a couple of ukrainians. a your,

the cities reported was rented from a, from in poland that apparently belonged to, to ukrainian national. so that's one concrete link with ukraine. turns out the sco walton involved after all hoops. well, does anyone care at this point? of course not. the story is already for gotten the new information suppressed and in the minds of americans. it was the russians all alone. and it's the same with all the other stories, one and out for just blame the russians. millions of americans and europeans fall forward each and every single time and you know why? because that's what their media tell them. unless, of course, they watch channels like our to you, which is exactly why washington shut us down and they us. so once again, we ask, who's the real liar here? and that was hardly an octave as to be an idle cindy. god really,

i believe the washington's targeting of oddities and god media doesn't toe. which line the they're, they're trying to see that the, the, and the mean the other media is around the world. but i'm just telling you the truth about what is happening is we as the west, the, she gives us need, uh, a deep layer of proof like, and in, on our eyes is to avoid. it's see that she was basically, so they are deeply arranged by the know the media that does that mean what that everyone can see and the visa is that making it very difficult to do for the damage to the producer. the on the face of the program that you say sweetie, be off of the door, what they're seeing, the seeing that the rock straight spreading, it probably around the war to go in to. ready the states that the other states

something were. busy to forget about to create and so don't support and you bring that closer. but they say it's the opposite actually says united states, this is trying to spread that all around the world to grow more to provide and, and to, and to a pool. you said well in the countries that to send the weapons and money to the cameras team. well, one can wonder why the american establishment, the sol fix it did on our tea. maybe it's for these kinds of reports where we expose how, for instance, 6 british diplomats were involved in intelligence gathering and subversive activities. a that solving this quote and establishing the world not logged in has dismissed the claims as baseless with all the details here is, are these more, i guess, the f a political department, sole sections of the embassies are traditionally havens for spies. as these departing british people, it maps kind of test or identified as are the employees or agents of

british intelligence. the more in ukraine has turned upside down. many rules of diplomacy, a robust simpler, some of those changes began before these conflicts. and among those to one of the small moves no, was competing for an officer, then use truck show before an office is nothing above the coordination center for this truck through the civilization of the war situation by drinking all these awards countries, things are global conflict res intelligence agents posing as diplomats deeds, what they quote then the current conditions, the medicine mingled and robert didn't dive with friends. the russians invited them to private, even secret tools behind the embassies tool and impenetrable rules. now, tons of tough last, many russians want anything to do with british intelligence. because with different

van london's priorities, a well illustrated by semi informal events abroad were british diplomats build purchase with a local flock. one such event in russia took place in may. we're talking about a reception on the occasion of the birth date of the british and besser to russia. nigel casey this among the seasons. once in the orbit of the british embassy and the colors, think of expert at the most co carnegie center because bunch of them took off editor in chief and ceo of news. i've used them. i guess you have that. and then you'd see much of german, all the world union of old delivers. the graduates of church on university in washington are still rotating the least of new commerce who showed up at case his birthday party is interesting. among those invited were like sons of about board managing partner of the law firm of popcorn and partners. alexander that i was the chairman of the board executive director of the yelton center to meet a good evening jeweler, entrepreneur. in the world mister case,

it either continues to look for alternative ways to implement the interest of great britain in russia or avoids public meetings with real actors. of this work is quite difficult to believe that the new color of soft power is the children of russian actors, jewelers journalists for an agents and old delivers. jessica could davenport, for example, 2 rated so called activists now and he's hi, this is payroll. she met regularly with i g, poof, and media representatives such as newburgh, cuz we have a paid for by the west jeep who's in the activities, leaving on bridges. rods as the government and you've paid for by the foreign office. jessica's passion, though, was reported the pushing migration on russia. she often met with the lawyers and activist law being migrant rights and freedoms, even at the expense of russian citizens. as the deadline expulsion nude,

it is with them that you will denies the 5, the meetings, russian intelligences horsham shed with the press number for an office for that, and then deceptive, not to be perused by the public. they bet what the eastern european and central asia directors of the bridge the fall adult facies of had to be made for them by 6 wing dedicated to everything and the russian. the d. c, a d is integrated with d, v i s department 5. the close we are the part of the f, c, d o that focuses on defense and act as the interface between the cdo for an office and the ministry of defense. we provide political, military expertise to parts of the government, dealing with military operations. a go, literally spies,

spread across departments dedicated to disseminating breeding's propaganda. world was with a focus on ukrainian propaganda. how does but add more be add ons, ring to oh, and basses, deputy director of government information campaigns, a plethora of departments dedicated to you creative negotiations and quote, nation and initiatives. it's almost like ukraine, the eas paul, to run by the foreign office, or even kids has a negotiations department. and the p is the brits doing that for them. that's even an escalation department headed by simon fed wherever. and don springs the austin nature, presumably intended to analyze how far let them push the credit and conflicts before new payable head start reading down on london. that's we see this particular group overlook, but we can watch,

do really spies itself from russia. have to do with these people. i'm others go with the people of much includes that we have now stripped over the accreditation report from the guest positions in the directorate as well. many of the departments that the new case, new ministry of propaganda has it. but really spies expelled from russia, d. c, a. d was reformed into that it's covered state by most of the harris who the student in most school is diplomats. james b a who heads the media manipulation department spent suited of in russia and likes the suv such that even got married it most school mach diamond to on so, so i'm to russian sanctions analysis and much more. he's the advocates bike. lots to keep fits during his time and most school. christopher joyce last didn't get much time to enjoy the russian capital he was booted asking me

a 2 months off to his arrival. your legend, he likes it in russia, su much even shed some tears, as he was off to leave the country after which he became the head of russian policy department. these files reveal just how vested as involved with me is in the ukrainian conflicts. capitalists departments costing oh for to looking round the clock to keep the oil that they helped start doing. and that's at ease at home . and graduates of the most prestigious candidates academy. and the was the breezy ship, a sea in moscow, more i guess the oxy. now let's recap our breaking news story we've been following now the us has slapped our to you with a fresh round of functions accusing it of him.
