Russian TV news channel Rossiya 24 has aired a trailer for a weekend show featuring former Fox News journalist Tucker Carlson.

The state-run broadcaster did not make clear whether it will feature original content or be a translation of his regular English-language videos on X.

Carlson abruptly left Fox News in April where his populist conservative takes were renowned.

Rossiya 24 has not yet said when the show will air.

The advert, first shared earlier this month, aired again on 22 September with the words "on the weekend" but no further details.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The state-run broadcaster did not make clear whether it will feature original content or be a translation of his regular English-language videos on X.

Carlson abruptly left Fox News in April where his populist conservative takes were renowned.

Populist conservative takes on issues ranging from immigration, crime, race, gender and sexuality featured often, with "woke" ideology being talked about.

His show was cited in the lawsuit from voting machine company Dominion over Fox News' reporting of the 2020 presidential election.

Fox regularly discussed false claims that Dominion's machines were rigged against Donald Trump.

Russian state TV channels have regularly cited his shows in the past - due in large part to his penchant for repeating dubious Kremlin claims about Ukraine.
