Skripal Suspects: 'We Were Just Tourists In Salisbury'

The two men suspected of poisoning a Russian ex-spy in the UK say they were tourists.

The pro-Kremlin TV channel RT has featured an interview with the two men accused by the UK of trying to kill Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in March. The men said they are simply Russian businessmen who were on a short break abroad. We'll get more details from our Russian service.

Myanmar's de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi has defended the jailing of two Reuters journalists, despite international condemnation. We'll hear from Myanmar.

And why one Mississippi student has been called "a role model for girls across the US".
