The actor Steven Seagal is now Russian Special Envoy to the United States. • Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F • He was tasked with fostering better relations between the US and Russia. • Newsnight had arranged an interview with Mr Seagal and we made clear during protracted negotiations with his representative that we hoped to discuss his role with the Russian state. • The actor has also found himself swept up by the metoo movement - having been accused earlier this year of sexual harassment and rape. • A potential prosecution against Mr Seagal for rape was dropped this month. He denies all the allegations. • Kirsty Wark asked Mr Seagal about all of this - and his new movie Attrition - when she spoke to him from Moscow. The interview didn't go very well. This edited version starts when Kirsty asked him about his work for Mr Putin. • Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews. • Website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsnight • Twitter: / bbcnewsnight • Facebook: / bbcnewsnight
