As an insult.

Bye now.

That was Steve Rosenberg, the BBC's Russia editor.

We also spoke to Steve back on the 19th of September.

Cheerio.

I'm Tristan Redman and we're here with a bonus episode for you from the Global Story podcast. The world order is shifting. Old alliances are fraying and new ones are emerging. Some of this turbulence can be traced to decisions made in the United States. But the US isn't just a cause of the upheaval. Its politics are also a symptom of it. Every day we focus on one story, looking at how America and the world shape each other.

So we hope you enjoy this episode and to find more of our show, just search for The Global Story wherever you get your BBC podcasts. If you can't keep up with all the Epstein news, fear not, you're not alone. This week we've seen the files nearly but not quite bring down a British prime minister.
