Welcome to my new program, “CrossTalk.” Our aim is to really tackle the most important issues of the day – with all opinions and viewpoints given a fair hearing. The program includes me as anchor and the same “IMHO” and “In Context” team, with the addition of Russian television personality Yelena Khanga providing background and facts about what we need to know to understand the stories shaping our world.
Please give the program a watch – your feedback means a lot to us.
Best,
Peter Lavelle

Good evening Peter, or whatever the time may be?
This morning, London time, I watched your Cross Talk programme about Hugo Chavez.
I wanted to listen to the views of Eva Golinger and Prof Hellinger(?).
Instead what did we get? A frequency jamming session from somebody called Thor Smorgasbord, or a name like that.
He claims that he is the founder of a Human Rights organisation. He kept bellowing on about 'Free Speech'. It would appear that his idea of 'Free Speech' is his constant loud chatter jamimg the broadcasts of the other two guest. Who I would have preferred to listesn to. Rather than Mr I-have-a-point-of-view-and-will-not-let-anybody-else-speak !
I would have thought with your experience you would have hit the pause button on Mr Thor, or just switched off the sound ?
The programme sounded like a monkey house at feeding time. All very frustrating, and unprofessional.
3/10. See teacher and stay behind for detention !
Hello Peter:
I am one of those people who seldom watch TV. Therefore, I consider it a stroke of good fortune that I happened to go on RT channel a little while ago, and watched only part of your TRULY ENLIGHTENING AND CANDID take on Al Qaida Inc. (9:00pm, Monday, January 18, 2010). I found Mr. Robert Fisk's comments making a lot of sense. It just so happens that in the morning I was with a group of Canadian women who are members of University Women's Federation, where this very topic came up. How I wish I could get a copy of your this particular program, or if it is possible, can it be aired again??
