Handling of the pandemic amid an ongoing corruption probe against him. Those are your headlines kevin on my colleague will be here in about an hours time with a full and fresh look at your news stay with us this is our t. V. International. Hello and welcome to cross talk were all things are considered im really about as russian been meddling in u. K. Politics according to an initial report the answer is maybe find it and the usual highly likely report is and also secretary of state might bump you know is on a crusade against china does anyone outside the beltway really care. Cross knocking this and more im joined by my guest in london Marcus Papadopoulos hes editor in chief of politics 1st magazine and we crossed to alexander me curious hes a writer on Legal Affairs as well as editor in chief of the duran dot com originally prospect was in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was ok lets go to marcus in london mark as i read the russia report and i couldnt help but get the feeling that it was kind of a Cross Section of a buzz feed story and a madison Avenue Market proposal really kind of short on facts high on accusations and evidence free thats my conclusion go ahead mark. I have truth shall occasions paid in a judicial way and in a way. All through law with the courage allegations in that i accept demands in fact evidence to serve the who actually accusations and if the evidence is not bad if the evidence is not forthcoming then the case should be dismissed now or as a matter of the Parliamentary Press gallery i made sure that i quickly or quiet a colleague of what has become known in branson as the last records and i will say this piece after us glance i was extremely dubious because allegations of the name sure which were being made by this committee of tolerance against russia should really manifest itself in at least 100 pages but the rules was only 20 pages and that is a very strange strange events sandra lee those who is full of traditional language of british officials languages such as the u. K. Is committed to the rule of law the u. K. Is committed to up hold in the International Law based system the language of british officials are paid to has for centuries deceived a great many people brinson and codes now turn into the cons and there was no evidence whatsoever forward to support the accusations against russia indeed intrudes paragraphs it clearly states if there is a no evidence to support a bass and russia interferes in the solution as an untruth in source independence referendum and in the sand paragraph it clearly states it there is no evidence. Russias interference in the us who files the 19 general election in prison on that basis there is no case to be heard because there is no evidence corroborates in these assertions against russia what we have seen in this sure is possible and possible all are. Very well orchestrated and i was very loose less media p. R. And Political Campaign against russia because russia is not russia will the 99. 00 seas russia is a russia resurrections much of it so yes irans superpower status is and that is what is high in this report that is what is behind the fear of britain and america well its an immature think made very curious about it is that its essentially is demanding people like ourselves and our viewers to prove a negative because they make a claim and they trying to build a case to satisfy that claim but they obviously dont and they turn around and say you have to prove to us that they didnt meddle this is inverting the entire inverted and logically end and actually how you approach the law in any kind of meaningful in on as an investigation go ahead oh well this is exactly the point because instead of saying you know we have all this evidence that there is russian meddling you know politics and you know setting out what the evidence isnt coming to conclusions all this saying is there is no evidence of russian met in our politics that must mean that the Intelligence Services are not doing their job properly because even though there is no right. You know we. Do find it out and then i see absolutely right in saying that very aggressively people like us. Dare i say the russian government as a well you know weve got no evidence at. That you actually did metal should prove to us that you decent its its not monk this is talking about how do you know judicial approach is legal is it a judicial approach its a well turned on its head it says you know you know we make this search and we bring in all these extraordinary deniece witnesses people that William Browder Christopher Steele people you know who have their own well known views about russia we dont look beyond books we dont call it academics or insults from Miss Universe is people who you know we know weve got them and all programs look look so that when history can seep notion we make an assertion its not a saturday session not an assertion of facts but theres an old beliefs and then jamal means that the other person the other saw it proves is wrong i think heats its its its alice in wonderland stuff and you know what you are mentions i want to kind of go deeper and. Marcus here and be the expert external witnesses here im reading from the report here and William Browder Christopher Donley lucas christopher. Think its gone to the point of being ludicrous i mean all these people have a right to their opinion but this is the external witnesses theyre experts here of one sign of this debate if its even to make of this one empty accusation here and i mean shouldnt the writers of this report be embarrassed by this i mean anyone who watches Russian Fairs in every respect of how you feel about it with everyone going to the conclusion this is really one sided go ahead mark. Well if britain has a free and independent media then it is journalists both for global cost and prince fans want to highlight it to the British Public and that these excerpts and i use the words in a very loose way in inverted commas these acts on russia are not all jacksie of individuals when it comes to boston masses wife because for many years now after they have demonstrated his austerity so who lost they have demonstrated his hostility towards the russian government hostility so who is Russian Foreign policy so they are not objects if it and they are certainly not impartial but once again what we see in britain is another example another manifestation where british politicians fear were game boltons so many accusations of any kind whatsoever against lusha know it and they do not have to put forward evidence to support those assertions. Mainstream asia will not question they will certainly not ask penetrating questions they will last groups and i see why because it may just sounded in britain and also in america piece how collapse as that is why british politicians feel they can make any claim against russia because they know british Mainstream Media is not going to scrutinize what they are saying their money theres no downside of being wrong here ever ok im going to be here im going to make a supposition here of course this is this is hostility towards russia and this as the do to bolster nato i do bolster defense spending in the u. K. And in United States i mean in the scene then in. So city of an enemy but theres a kohler area to all of this and i think its even more insidious because these the the agenda i just mentioned thats going to go on anyway ok well talk about china later in the program here but this is really a pitch for censorship and its ok for the Security Forces to control free speech to decide what is except except the will speech and of course the other point here this is directed right at us here at r. T. You know what absolutely i mean 1st of all those experts i mean this is a tiny group of experts an impartial investigation would call for many many more x. Sloan and and then this and expose little diverse backgrounds and diverse views these people were chosen because they are known to have the views about russia that they do but youre quite right the only. Evidence and i didnt call it and so i used the word in evidence in inverted commas the any actual quotes all made on made about russian will cost us about r c and about scrutiny and of course hope we see we see a campaign against these broadcasters afterwards and who pursues these increasingly enough the leader of the British Labor party coming back to marcuss point who is of course a lawyer he must know when he reads this your absurd it is so charitable i would call him a tool theres a beard on or but he he has a Legal Training he has a Legal Training he must see when he reads this report that his factory that its the experts behind it are not you know from a representative pool of russian experts not remotely and yet hes campaigning now for r. T. For those actions and yet taken against oxy. I dont absolutely what is just russian book but his voice is dissident voices and we place and its really interesting because there is such a thing as off come in its supposed to be its not supposed to be partisan here now what were hearing now from the labor party is that it should be. Partisan the government should get involved and decide what is a good speech. Safe speech security speech for for the public sphere in britain i mean this is going over the line i mean i have my issues with off coming in and now theyre going to be shelved aside in the governments going to decide what you can say what you can hear what broadcast mark is that i mean if its that you. Well pisa for many years now common has been the british on unsolder british test status in an unofficial sense censorship asian save so there is no muss alert from all soft console it says that in regards to the later policy it let me tell you this they consent to policy easiest out nationalities the policy of the british establishment of the labor party has long at bain an Opposition Party controlled by the british establishment in d. C. So you create diplomats in the 1940 s. In the 1950 s. To use are old hat some also of the labor party is also chain you in socialist it is our policy control ideas satirise and now then again the policies led by socialists i dos socialists have to be the right phrase on whom i hope 1st i didnt recent times very cool but as far as the british sound issuances consensus now that she is salma is haitian the labor party the labor party in their eyes is back in safe hands ok well you know theres that report will have delved into the oligarchs russian oligarchs living in the u. K. And how they use their money or belittle influence but i suppose that will come out in a long deal right gentlemen were going to go to a short break and after that break well continue what its real nice day. Welcome back to crossfire where all things are considered im people about to remind you were discussing some humans. Ok lets go back to london i was going to be here as my comp aoe has been very on bombastic i would say in the last few days here east take. A swing at north north stream me and also hes come out very loudly about china here in let me quote you something he said here its really quite interesting to me china ripped off our prized intellectual property and trade secrets costing millions of jobs across america really tiny did i thought i thought american corporations did that maybe i got this wrong about well youre 1st of all youre right about this i mean it was american corporations who decided shouldnt send their facts to reste china just to china by the way to make. Indonesia talk cause of places thats supposed to be you know their Business Decisions america is the latter Free Enterprise all through all thats the idea anyway but seriously all pay is speech extremely troubling and very very i mean its. Unbelievably aggressive in its language. Paints a picture of china which is so dark i mean im not going to say i didnt read just the mail your. Earlier though oh i dont well quite without its 8th clearly. Into not just us all to do polls between chandran the us is clearly more than just jobs the least use of that kind thats a. And the goal gets aspects of this speech intended to rally American Public opinion is complete looking for a long term confrontation with china which is now being represented just basically do you soviet union so were back into more of that all over again its cold war suit with a vengeance and i have to say i think a lot of people in europe especially will be looking at this and they will be you know shaking their heads. And sighing and say to themselves oh no not yet because this is one of his biggest trading partner is china it was remember that in italy actually geminis journeys biggest trading partner is china and this is what its all about that kind of goes you have the demagogue statements about china stealing our jobs. China stealing all technology the chinese cant come up with their antic knowledge thats why theyre also i mean their head who is ahead on flights because the chinese ambassador. Or i know that in many cases when it will in western Companies Want to do business in china is the day they sign a waiver to a lot of their technologies i mean its not as if it does theres an industrial espionage happened of course it happens now is it me always and my company or thinks its only one country in the world it doesnt everybody does it are you a part of doing business here let me go to marcus here is one of the things that we also he said is that the world must change china or china will change us well thats kind of interesting there thats kind of a form of orientalism if i had ever heard any go ahead. And i know that. This is a form of passive aggression and that is something of vassals coos the worship be very very alarmed by it but i suspect peter that i have a dissenting voice in all of this yes on the one hand there is clearly growing tension between washington and beijing last manifests itself partly in American Military minutely this in the South China Sea and also the trade war but on the other hand i submit that it is not sit in the interests for either america or china for there to be a further and major serious deterioration in the relationship between the 2 countries because if they was if the economic relationship between the americans and the chinese was to collapse if it was to be settled and then both countries almost overnight would go into recession the chinas projects the one yes and that has a very very large ambitions and i have no doubt it will prove a great amount of money for the chinese but it will not compare to the trading and investment relationship the chinese have with america and i would also say this there are a lot of commentators who are us who can talk about Chinese Military minds and how the chinese cruises americans in the South China Sea well yes the Chinese Military would certainly fight anyone in the world to defend Chinese National security but the Peoples Liberation army laments the Largest Armed forces museum in the well as this chinese i have progressed when it comes to technological masses and they have done exceedingly well they are still dependent on luster for hightech and not. For losses their. Defense systems and also for lesser of generation. Is china has the congo gurus you know who retire harsh you will see the difficulties the chinese will encounter in fighting to a very advanced military that is high around the house so you cannot compare the Chinese Military to the American Military i dont think were there yet and i think go back to the point you made a minute ago that im going to make yours i mean its the United States thats threatening trade its not really the beijing doing it i mean. You know it you know the way its being played out now its either or its the china world or its the west you know whom im watching and sense as me and its being pushed to look that direction and at this point its a very dangerous game of chicken but i dont think anyone wants real confrontation here or whats happening here and its go back to my point they are hes concerned with nuss or them thats where we are in this struggle right now im going to be careful this is exactly because i take all the points that monkey says and youre absolutely right peter if you read the Chinese Media or does the chinese english language media they are afforded by these events they dont looking for a fight with the United States theyre not looking to sever the economic relationship with the United States all the points that marcus is making about this being interim mendus own goal full both the United States and china if they move to an adversarial you know hostile well the chinese themselves and making them am quite ill but the fact is you are discussing this in a rational way and there is not much rationality in my own case each theres not much rationality in u. S. Policy about china at the moment and other countries there are not these things in. A more rational way the europeans the southeast asians countries like taiwan countries like thing that means theyre looking at all of this and theyre being asked to take sides in exactly the way that you say and they dont like it they dont want to be told but that is the world that people like mike. And it must be set a lot of people in the United States are drug learning incidents and act out and this is tall but you have to remember there is much push back to its very messy amik an apocalyptic byzantine reign which which is completely counterproductive because a puppet also is a chain has taken so if bandage us in western generosity what world is he living it. Well this is the same individual paisa who want to say openly the cia has overthrown foreign governments now or when have i have come here or indeed other western politicians talk about generosity well i suppose generosity has been defined in there are no terms. Could be chinese would find it generous how the americans and the british or the special services or america and britain have interfered in hong kong and have all this traces and are provided assistance to the militants princesses in hong kong i dont think the chinese or indeed any other country in the well is was find it generous that the American Society is leader cloying elements or lysis to these ngs im told and where she is a restless muslim province in the way in the west in most parts of china so you know how on earth can my computer make the assertion that bats america the west in general has been generous but then it takes me back to my points which i raise. Earlier on in this episode my own piers is simply one west some politician who knows there is not going to be scrutiny with his comments when it comes to oh it comes to china because american mainstream may have a simply the american assassinations and sat for they are not go into question here when it comes to china because american mainstream age is not a free no independent they all use as a weapon and i would say most potent weapon the west has in its arsenal so its hack countries in the road which for sure independence foreign policies you know you know your own sentiment here is me thinking its a very interesting confluence of events right now we have the upcoming american president ial election donald trump is way down in the polls. If appears i think that theres a growing consensus that is greatest weakness is the reaction to the corona virus plague of course his administration is pointing all of the blame at china the the recovery is not in the cards or news for the majority of people here china just isnt it is a very convenient card to play right now i would say and it can be it is convenient because theres no pushback as marcus was saying but is extremely dangerous because the interconnection the coupling of the American Economy to the asia chinas economy is so very very deep and intense nothing like if ever was with russia for example go ahead well youre quite right i mean they receive the atmosphere in the United States at the moment is extremely feeds it and obviously there is the political dynamic there is in domestic political dynamic you make china. All americas fadia to deal with the Virus Outbreak in fact is part of the. Contest speech actually touches all this is all showing us all you know things are happened in the way that they have happened and the fact that china dealt with a Virus Outbreak much warmth sanctity that the us is stuck is another issue but we must understand 2 things about this firstly the drift towards confrontation with china has been happening the songs on actually started on to Barack Obamas administration overseas hugely excited or at least in the last few months but the drift was already pointing that way on the 2nd day just the there is no real discussion all just use of facts that we see in the United States is a very very strange on all in the Financial Times maybe exactly that point im worrying about satirist you know in america last observation here and i remember the quote the 1st cold war with the soviet union and there was a real debate today there is no real debate and it comes to china its all the time we have i want to thank my guests london i want to thank our viewers for watching us here r. P. C. A mix of them if. We go to work for you straight home will. Join me every thursday on the Alex Sullivan show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Julian associate travels to sweden to deliver a speech while there he met 2 women aged 31 and 26 the wiki leaks founder was soon involved in an intimate relationship with both of them.

How everythings chang and the woman came back to early and. Wanted julian to stay there anyway. Those women they really approached him it seems like especially the younger ones saw him on t. V. Fell into law whatever that means to be the 1st in there it looks like someone who wants to be a Rock N Roll Group feels nothing approaching him and really chasing him down and finally she also succeeds in it and they share a one eyed stare which at some point becomes a balticon dog you know.
