today's conversation is to look at how russian influence works in the united kingdom. as part of that broader work, we also looked at germany. the reason that malcolm turnbull was so important is because we used his framing of influence activities. we looked at covert, coercive, and corrupting influence factors. many reports have certainly examined the supply of influence activities, but very few look at the demand-side, how democracies use and accept these influence activities. so our report focused much more on the demand, how do democratic governments and societies internalize that influence activities. this report was made possible by the state department's global engagement center through the information access fund. we're grateful of course for the support but these are the authors and not of the state department views. if i may, let me briefly go over some of the key findings from this report. russia and china certainly have different objectives in how they use their influence activities, but they share one commonality. they both try to divide the united states

today we are going to be talking about russian influence in the united kingdom. this conversation is actually part of a broader recording that csis just produced that looks at how to counter the russian and chinese influence. so last thursday we held a conversation with former australian prime minister malcolm turn ball that looked at chinese influence in australia, part of the report examined japan and australia and how chinese influence works there. today's conversation is to look at how russian influence works in the united kingdom as part of that broader work, we also looked at germany. the reason that malcolm was so important was because we used his framing of influence activity. we looked at covert, coercive and corrupted influence factors. many reports have certainly examined the supply of influence activities, but very few look at the demand side. how democracy's use and except these influence activities. so i record and focus much more on the demand, how democrats in the government in societies influence that activity. this report was made possible by th

i think the united kingdom made a good decision, but i think that decision was made not because the united states said it was a good decision but because leadership here in united kingdom concluded the right thing to do was to make that decision for the people of united kingdom. uk government borrowing soared to more than £35 billion injune, about five times more than the same time last year because of the coronavirus crisis. at thejohnny depp libel trial, his ex—wife is questioned about the injuries she says were caused by him. the government has "categorically rejected" an allegation that it actively avoided investigating whether russia interfered in the 2016 brexit referendum. the accusation was made by mps presenting their long awaited report into claims of russian meddling in british politics. the intelligence and security committe says the government badly underestimated the threat, while the intelligence agencies took their eye off the ball. we'll have reaction from westminster and moscow shortly, but first, our political correspondent nick ea rdley. what influence does russia have

it's been revealed that the united kingdom has sold millions of pounds worth of interception equipment to dozens of countries worldwide that present itself even if you use repressive now there are calls for the government to explain itself yet again the government needs to show how those risks were assessed in this case and how this equipment was ultimately used the exports include wiretap spyware and other telecommunications interception equipment that could be used to spy on so-called dissidents and it doesn't come cheap in fact the u.k. has signed off more than 75000000 pounds worth of good to have to list of countries the u.k. even appears to be breaching its own rules here as the u.k. has banned the sell off security codes to countries that might use them for internal repression and among the list of countries even the u.k. itself has accused of human rights violations including saudi arabia the u.a.e. and china. make good on my pledge bringing to force the united kingdom's 1st thomas human rights sanctions regime which gives us the power to impose sanctions on the on those involv

expectations and with his disposition and demeanor remember how differently political culture is on the united kingdom donald trump is a maverick where the measures of politics whereas in england it was really remarkable for someone like winston churchill to come along because the united states their political culture peter is timidity in moderation. and that is truly unique. >> winston churchill never visited australia. >> that's correct. i know. it was a long way to go. and in terms of travel i didn't go to australia that on that trip he said if he could be born again anywhere he would choose the united states of america the first and with that backhanded compliment in chief among them to be a refusal to drink during meals. and that lines up but i always use when i speak to audiences all across the country and he always do the right thing after exhausting every other option. >> is there a similarity to winston churchill? >> we do. that is something that has always bonded me. with a huge americana fan. and with the united states of america really are the things that mattered. don't worry america will

she was a danger to herself, or because she could be an iconic figure to other people in the united kingdomewed by the bbc and others, they all found that she expressed absolutely no contrition for what she had done, no contrition for supporting a regime that enslaved yazidi women, that carried out beheadings — jihadi john carried out at least four beheadings himself. utter brutality. it was her choice to do it, there's no sign that she feels what she did was in any way wrong, and i think many british people will not only have sympathy for priti patel's wish to keep her out of the united kingdom, but will actually think that this woman who went off to support a regime who wished to destroy all the values that make britain, the united kingdom the country that is — she went off to fight for a regime that opposed each and every one of these values. she now comes throwing herself on the mercy of british taxpayers and british courts — that she herself reviled — in order to get back to the united kingdom. the reality of the situation is that we have responsibilities to safeguard children. it does

how alone is the united kingdom right now?ell, we are in a slightly curious phase because we are in the exits lounge from the e.u., but we have not quite left because all the rules still apply to us. i think it is fair to say that we have not yet situated ourselves on the world stage in a way that we will need to do for brexit. the government was working on that. the brexit talks have been difficult, not least because of covid-19. i do think that what lies behind isr question, if it is what the role of the u.k.? i think that is an open question. the dean etches in quote is that someone has lost e.u. but not the role. which i think is probably true, and i feel it is a bit unfortunate, and i think we do have a contribution to make globally and we need to resituate ourselves after brexit. but realistically, the government has other priorities at the present time. tom: i don't mean to denigrate anybody here, but it is a phrase out there. i know it is a popular tv show years ago. is there a risk, howard davies, of a little britain?

thing is that two of the wealthy countries who have done very badly in this pandemic are the united kingdom and the united states. this might create a certain amount of comradery but not the basis of a good relationship given we are five months or so from the u.s. elections, how would a biden election affect and different. >> i think the biden will be similar but a bit more coherently looking out for u.s. issues all the delicate issues involving u.s. trade will going to be pursued vigorously by the united states. anothe of biden administration and democratic control of congress is that the house speaker nancy pelosi has already put the united kingdom on notice that it is going to take a very hard line against any deviation from understandings involving the northern ireland good friday agreement. this is central to brexit. that's potentially another sticking point, which would be amplified with democratic control of the government. >> a long road ahead dana, thank you for joining us senior fellow for u.s. foreign policy and trans-atlantic affairs, iiss. >> the dow jones looking at over 200 p

just the united states, but every nation is different from the apparent smoothness we see in the united kingdom. this goes to the 10 year option you mentioned earlier that will see -- that we will see i believe today, and the financial system in the united states appears to be running smoothly as we await the next $1 trillion or $1.5 trillion of stimulus. lisa: another way of saying that yields are a drug autumn, meaning it has never been cheaper for these governments to borrow money, so why not do it? raising the existential question of windows debt matter. we have been talking about that throughout the program. but the issue is how these are targeted. we talked about the enhanced unemployment benefit, set to run out at the end of this month. the $600 benefit per individual in addition to the normal unemployment benefit that have financed abilities to spend. how much will that encourage people to get rehired as the united kingdom is trying to do? tom: a lot to talk about today, and part of our good conversation with markets elevated. i do want to mention gold out to $1815 at one point. right n

and the united kingdom can't agree on a deal on their future relations that might mean that the united kingdom will crash out of the european union at the end of the year so a lot on the table for the german government but a lot of this also requires consensus and better than simply what's going to be really what's going to be required i think i'm going to. take our viewers straight to the german parliament not because john slanging a buckle has begun how to dress to members of parliament. and i president of the bundestag in my introductory words years since it is the 1st. presidency is now assumed by german aid in a difficult time germany has assumed the presidency of the council of the european union and not surely a presidency will be overshot of a shadowed by the corona pandemic our efforts to contain it and to return to a new normal if you like of 2 weeks ago i asked for your support for the unprecedented recover i plan that we have in order to achieve the economic and social recovery in europe of autopsy or playing accounts on the 52 weeks ago i just looked at this and we agreed
