The best president America never had

One year after the storming of the Capitol, Colonel Laurence Wilkerson, chief of staff to the late General Colin Powell, presents a searing assessment of the current state of the republic, both in its domestic politics and its role in world politics. Colonel Wilkerson tells Alex that Colin Powell was the greatest president America never had, and the world would be a much better place now if he had decided to run for the White House. He also confirms that the former UK prime minister, Sir Tony Blair, committed Britain beforehand to stand with President Bush in the war on Iraq, come what may.

Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
