    If you missed it this is a great session of Crosstalk, with "our" Mike Raddie, Amar Waqqaf and Marwa Osman - who rivals Lavelle for her grip on the microphone:

    A couple of things have changed since five days ago, and since two days ago when my article on AHT was written.

    Thanks Mike for putting the same points I made about the ongoing US control over the oil fields, but I'm now beginning to wonder if these are going to also be abandoned, albeit by a retreat of coalition forces over the southern border to Al Qaim, where there is a base not far away - the one Trump visited last Christmas.
    Things are changing radically, and I will believe anything possible once we see it - on RT or SANA. As Lavelle said - the amount of disinformation is absolutely incredible.
    We met Marwa in Beirut last year, and she said amongst other things "why don't you go to the Israeli border with Hezbollah?" We just happened to meet on the day of the Lebanese elections, when Hezbollah supporters, including Marwa, were driving around tooting and even firing into the air in celebration of their win!
