Byline Times writer and FSB disinformation expert Zarina Zabrisky responds to the Russia Report, released by MP's on the UK's Intelligence and Security Committee. The report accused the Westminster government of underestimating the threat of Kremlin-inspired interference in the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 and the EU referendum in 2016. Zarina explains the origins of Vladimir Putin's "mafia state" and explains its global ambitions.

We also hear from Dr Andrew Corbett, a former Trident submarine commander who told Byline Times he wouldn't have pushed the nuclear button if Boris Johnson was PM.
