May demands answers from Russia over Skripal

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Theresa May has told MPs it's "highly likely" that the Russian state poisoned a former spy and his daughter. We hear reaction from Russia, learn more about the poison deployed and ask: what sanctions should be applied? As President Trump drops his call to raise the age at which assault rifles can be bought - we speak to one of the Florida school students who survived last month's massacre. Andrew Hosken reports on how a financial consultancy suspended and fined in the US was hired by the Financial Conduct Authority to investigate misconduct at RBS. And an appreciation of Hubert de Givenchy, from his biographer Drusilla Beyfus. Picture: Forensics specialists investigate poisoning in Salisbury Credit: Getty.
