Russian spy attacked with 'nerve agent'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Police have said a former Russian spy and his daughter remain critically-ill in hospital. We find out more about the weapon and hear political reaction from Westminster and the Kremlin. As the EU says no to a pick and mix approach to the single market, the chancellor makes a plea for financial services to be included in the post Brexit trade agreement. We discuss where the money might go if the City of London is cast adrift. As the NME gives up on print and goes digital, we go back in time with the frontman of the Charlatans.
