Russia warns UK: 'You're playing with fire'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Russia's ambassador to the UN has told a meeting of the Security Council - called to discuss the Salisbury poisonings - that Britain is playing with fire and will be sorry for making what he said were 'unsubstantiated' accusations. Also in the programme: the pest controller who's swapped the vermin of Wales for the vipers of Afghanistan; and how America used jazz to strike back in the Cold War.
