In it he angrily accuses NATO as being a threat to world peace and so on... Back to Emily in the Studio again and with an exasperated tone utterly, disbelieving that Mr Marr hadn't spotted the obvious flaw here by not realising that the interview was given in 2011, a lot of water had flown under the Bridge since then!
