“Russia’s ‘fake’ election”, Newsnight (28/2/2018)

Only one person can win the Russian election. So why would anyone risk it all to challenge Vladimir Putin? Ksenia Sobchak is a Russian socialite turned opposition journalist. Now she’s running for the Russian presidency. But many opposition supporters say she’s a fake candidate, running a no-hope race to boost the Kremlin’s democratic credentials. She herself admits she has no chance of winning. Gabriel Gatehouse joined Ksenia Sobchak on the campaign trail and found a twisted tale of intrigue, power struggles and family loyalties in a country where nothing is as simple as it first appears.

The Fumes Of An Empire: UK’s Chaos & the US Midterms

The midterms are two weeks out and chaos just keeps building. The UK is cycling through Prime Ministers faster than they’ve cycled through James Bonds and their economic crisis continues. In the US, election deniers are whipping themselves into a frenzy ahead of the midterms. Jon is joined by British journalist Gabriel Gatehouse to run down what’s happening in the UK and what his reporting on QAnon and election conspiracy theories might tell us about the fate of our democracy in the post-election period – if we ever even get to a place where the election is over. Writers Tocarra Mallard and Robby Slowik are also here talking Ye, Adidas, and antisemitism.
