u. k. great to see today. thanks for joining us here on the program. some pretty dramatic pictures we've been showing here on our t international. it coming out of the major cities in context on official buildings are being stormed. the catholic government has resigned. how serious does this look to? could it spiral out into something even bigger? well, i think it is very, very serious already and it said the speed of the incident is quite incredible. and it has been seen a course across north africa during the arab spring where social media allows people to talk to each other without government having any form of control over it . and very quickly, the government can lose control and that appears to be happening at the moment. and so ultimately this all started due to energy prices, but as your process of storing it in many different countries at the moment, not just conflicts, don't make you think. you think this good spot, perhaps further unrest, a field. well, i think other leaders will be looking at this and i work and i have a wall could happen a

that they've made so he basically is saying, you know, you have a great deal, britain of the u. k. you know, you should take this or else we're gonna stop speaking. so he is actually basically laying down a deadline and you're saying you had me thinking that the issue would be encouraging country is to stay, not encouraging them to just not leave, right? but when it comes to all of this, i mean, i also want to bring up the u. k. economy because it did record, it's the lowest growth in nearly a year, with inflation at 30 year highs. and the bank of england is expected to raise interest rates again next month. so what do you see as the main economic concerns for the nation right now, and is it on a path to stability despite the latest data? well, i do think rachel, actually, ironically, despite the data, i do think it is on upward trend economist over there at capital economics. and what he said is he called this over the good actually he called it the own withdrawn hangover. and i thought that was a good way to basically position this don't to get the u. k was hit rather hard heart

i wouldn't once held captive by the taliban icicle, his tiny afghan refugee has gone to great success in the u. k. don't walk away the last time you walked away. you isolated the time on the international stage and understand became a playground for every one of beach hockey. so don't walk away, it won't work. however, if you going to come back on me all of this time with a, with practical help with socialist motivation. i'm not sure the west can do that. but you know, that country needs to know the teachers. they have just kind of brain drain. they, they need doctors, professionals who can help rebuild the country on the west. this time can try nation building without weapons. because i feel like i've got women are so oppressed and they're painted as these. i mean, they're not, they're just the humanize, you know, lives the getting lost left right, and center children and women and girls with what's happening right now. they're just in the, in the scene as numbers, as these blue goes with the brokers. that's all afghan women are known as a in the world. so i just wanted to show the world that kn

u. k. a very good afternoon. so it's great to have you on the program today. the british government claims it has a information that russia wants to install a pro kremlin leader in t as though there's no indication at all as to what this information actually is your thoughts on. well, my international thought goes through what is happening currently in the u. k or within the u. k. government, at the moment. we know that the britain left you some time ago and it's 6 for its place in the world. we know that the global brit britton project is a piece to be a fos. when we know the current, the, or is johnson, is, is having a very serious trouble. and in my opinion, what the british government is doing it, or what the broad british government is doing through the british intelligence is to finding, to see it's place within the u. s frame a framework to contain a russia and also we have to bear in mind that recently lease trust and also born ban wallace have gained the permission or received the invitation from a minister of russia. mister shaw agree? no. to meet wi

u. s. state department's actually find the corral nato members because they see that it's great. ok. we had last week, we had the u. k, a sending weapons to ukraine and they avoided german airspeed. the germans don't want to say that they think this is provocative here. and then we have, we have a resident with chrome, head of the press of the rotating you presidency. and you know, he's come out with statements about respecting security of all countries and very nervous about publications. it seems to me that state department is, is trying to, it's spending actually more time trying to keep nato in line when he is actually and having a dialogue with russia because that's a dialogue that's a dialogue the deaf and dumb. lin. yeah, well that was the arguments coming out of britain as well that when they were making the argument that we shouldn't, you know, bind to the russian narrative, they were specifically referring to the europeans that they're starting to repeat the russian propaganda. what about, again, propaganda or misuse, word and all this. i mean with propaganda, you have the intentional framing of any conflic
