clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia now a couple of days before that war is johnson the u.k. foreign secretary also said that there is no doubt that russia was behind what happened you argue that their source of shock is russia how did you manage to find that out so quickly when i look at the the evidence from the people from from port and they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt well it seems that all of that was going well until when the chief executive of porton down came out and said that not only were the scientists not able to prove that the nerve agent came from russia but generally speaking they didn't know what the source was we have not verified pfieffer say source you have not been able to establish that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide aid you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular nerve agent is there to be clear you're not able it
