Britain Wants EU to Match US Sanctions on Russia

The UK Foreign Minister, Jeremy Hunt, wants the European Union to match sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia - in response to the Novichok nerve agent attack in the UK earlier this year. But many European countries are reluctant to do so.

Also in the programme: Germany's rail operator, Deutsche Bahn, wants to introduce "atonal music" into a station in Berlin to drive away people who use the place to take drugs, and the 50th anniversary of the Prague Spring when Soviet tanks put an end to an attempt to introduce "socialism with a human face".
