we've also got tobias ellwood , we've also got tobias ellwood, the chair of the defence select committeeian prime minister, mr kasyanov , coming on minister, mr kasyanov, coming on the show as well. now, he was prime minister of russia from 2000 to 2004. he knows vladimir putin intimately. he's since been exiled from russia. he's tried to stand against putin in the 2009 presidential election . the 2009 presidential election. wow. and we'll be talking about him about what's inside the mind of vladimir putin. what is putin thinking? what's his off ramp in ukraine and why might he have wanted to kill prigozhin last week ? week? >> and is prigozhin really dead quite right. >> i sort of think with a guest like that, tom, you may need to extend the show. yeah, i think it will, cause that could be an hour and a half in and of itself. >> it really could. but we're going to try and get get to gnps going to try and get get to grips with all of those situations. we're saving perhaps the to best last. the former prime minister of russia, of course, on in the last 15 course, coming on in the last 15

and interestingly, the charity said that they used examples of the recent visit by tobias ellwood, theprogram . um, their own outreach program. um, now, mr suleyman ghani, the chaplain on his website, on his fundraiser, he said that he was raising money for a hospital and for a what he called a vocation skills institute for women. of course, women have different rights in afghanistan than they do in the rest of the world. now it wasn't just a charity trip , it wasn't just a charity trip, though, because gb news has seen footage as you've just seen on your screens of members of the delegation meeting with senior taliban ministers in kabul, including the foreign minister, a mr. amir muttaqi , who led the a mr. amir muttaqi, who led the propaganda operation before the invasion in 2001. he was said to have led a huge jihad buddhist publication system routine. so a very controversial figure, you might say, for an chaplain to be meeting . but it wasn't just him, meeting. but it wasn't just him, as you've heard in the intro. he also met with the taliban's chief justice, sheikh abdul hakim haq

. >> different is >> charlie, how different is this what tobias ellwood did?tory mp, he he posted a video in which he said afghanistan been transformed afghanistan had been transformed under the taliban. he then said he regret for those he expressed regret for those comments . but how different is comments. but how different is thiswell, i mean, not for me >> well, i mean, it's not for me to give an opinion, i mean, to give an opinion, but i mean, just it as is, it just observing it as it is, it seems very, very similar. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, very similar. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, mry similar. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, mr ellwood r. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, mr ellwood described >> i mean, mr ellwood described the difference of afghanistan under the taliban as game changing in that video . he then changing in that video. he then retracted his comments after an enormous amount of opprobrium andindeed enormous amount of opprobrium and indeed calls for him to lose his position as

and with the possible exception of tobias ellwood, everyone it's a horrific everyone knows it's a horrificplace. secondly he alcatraz didn't let its residents get onto buses to nearby towns, not enforce a curfew. give them a buffet , a tv room, a computer buffet, a tv room, a computer room or a pool and games room. now, if he really is from afghanistan, then let's be honest , afghanistan, then let's be honest, we're almost definitely going to let him stay here permanently anyway. quite possibly living at the taxpayers expense forever here. i mean, is there any recognition at all for there any recognition at all for the sacrifices of the british taxpayer, residents, and taxpayer, local residents, and indeed this government that they are to help these are making to help these people out? we have our own homeless. we have our own vulnerable and needy, they're not getting needy, and they're not getting that barge, are they? we have seaside towns decimated seaside tourist towns decimated by hotels. we have by migrant hotels. we have hundreds of millions of pounds worth investment. not worth of
