Salisbury poisoning a 'war crime by Russia'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As police say the couple poisoned by the nerve agent - Novichok - may have handled contaminated material - we'll hear how the Russian media are handling developments. And we ask how our government should be handling the Russians. The man who heads Donald Trump's Environmental Protection Agency finds he can no longer protect himself from a long list of allegations. We hear about the latest humanitarian crisis on Syria's border with Jordan. And Jeremy Bowen reports on life in rebel-held areas recaptured by the Syrian government. Plus a preview of a big Brexit day at Chequers. And the bleat goes on: an insight into the joys of Goatish music.
