[Global Network Report] On June 14, local time, the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) announced a complete video interview with Russian President Putin.

The video shows that when answering human rights-related questions, Putin was repeatedly interrupted by reporters from the station and asked "Is this freedom of speech? Or is it American freedom of speech?"

　　NBC reported that the interview took place in Moscow on June 11, local time.

NBC host Simmons conducted an exclusive interview with Russian President Putin on hot topics such as Sino-US relations, Russian-US relations, and human rights.

　　The video shows that about halfway through the interview, Simmons mentioned the so-called "human rights" issue, saying that the Russian opposition leader Navalny is now in jail and is the target of assassination. "Mr. President, why would you Does the opposition see it as such a big threat?"

　　Hearing this, Putin couldn't help laughing and replied, "Who said I felt threatened by the opposition, or we were threatened by the opposition? Who told you?"

　　Just as Putin was about to continue, Simmons interrupted and said, “A Russian court has just declared an organization associated with Navalny to be an illegal organization... In journalism, both Madusa and the Moscow Times Being labeled a'foreign agent' and facing bankruptcy... Russia seems to be unable to tolerate dissent anymore."

　　"You see it as dissent and intolerance to Russian dissidents, and we have completely different views on this." Putin retorted that the law against "foreign agents" mentioned by the host was as early as the 30s of the 20th century. It was passed in the United States in the 1970s. One of its purposes was to prevent (foreign) interference in the domestic political affairs of the United States, and the measures it took were much stricter than in Russia.

　　Speaking of the United States, Simmons, the host, seemed to be a little unable to sit still and hurriedly interrupted Putin.

While Putin was still talking, Simmons interjected and said that Putin was in circles, did not answer his question, and said that he wanted to ask a question directly.

　　The video showed that the two came and went, and they seemed to be in a stalemate.

Putin then said, "Let me answer."

　　"You asked me a question, but you didn't like my answer. Then you interrupted me directly. This is not appropriate." Putin then continued to elaborate on the above question.

　　"You're still talking about America." The host Simmons interrupted again.

　　"Yes, I'm talking about the United States, you see, you don't let me say it," Putin later explained that he will not only focus on the problems of the United States, but will return to the current topic itself.

　　Nevertheless, the host Simmons interrupted Putin again, saying that he believed that Putin’s belief was that other countries should not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs and should not comment on the politics of other countries, but Putin was also commenting on the United States.

　　"I didn't! If you can be a little patient, let me finish what I want to say. You will know everything." Putin denied that you don't want my answer to be heard by your audience. This is the problem.

　　"You are preventing me (speaking), is this freedom of speech? Or is this American freedom of speech?" Putin asked immediately.

　　The video shows that at this time, the host curled his mouth and said awkwardly, "Please (continue) answer."
