Discussion on Media Access and War

And it's crazy.

Now we have to be cooperating with the Russians. Of course. Particularly.

Yes. And they could be... you've been there, you've met them. Yeah, a

couple of times. You've been there. Me too. I've worked there a lot in my life.

I'm doing, you know, I do interviews with them whenever I can.

It sort of half breaks my heart that I can't watch RT anymore because it's banned.

You can't watch Russia Today.

We can't watch it until the start, up until 22.

Up until February, whenever it was.

Yes. 2022. When the special military operation, as the Russians call it, started.

Because the Minsk Accords were not adhered to. But that's another conversation.

But may I ask, so you grew up in England.

Your father was killed fighting the Nazis in the Second World War.

You grew up in a victor country that congratulated

itself on its freedoms. You know,

if we hadn't sacrificed, we'd all be speaking German and marching in rows.

They always said that.

Is it strange to live in a world where you're not allowed to

watch a certain TV channel?

Yeah, of course it is.
