hundreds of detectives have analyzed thousands of hours of cctv footage and thousands of documents. some things we knew already. british investigators had already concluded russia was responsible for the exposure of hundreds of people to a deadly agent on the streets of salisbury. now, thanks to the careful methodical work of the british authorities, no one should have any doubt. it is actually amazing to see the clarity and the undeniability of the results. the british government has identified two russian nationals as responsible for the use of the nerve agent on british soil and the attempted murder of a british citizen and his daughter. critically the british have ad also concluded that the two -- have also concluded that the two men are officers of the russian military intelligence service. this was not, as prime minister may said, a, quote, rogue operation. this was a highly planned, purposely driven attack. the british had the suspects on cctv from their arrival at gat wick airport to their travel to the vicinity of the skripal's house on the day of the attack, and finally th

when i ran the investigation into the cctv images from the london riots, we had 100,000 hours of cctvb quicker. right individuals, who will have made the job quicker. they found that using super recognisers was quicker thanjust that using super recognisers was quicker than just trusting anybody to watch cctv. and once you think you have picked out the faces of the suspects, that then provides you with a new impetus to find the same faces in other bits of cctv, is that how it works? absolutely. they have named these men. they put the mugshots of these men out. did the authorities suspect these men to begin with? that would have made the job easier. otherwise, the super recognisers would have just trawl through all the footage and tried to play face snapping, as we used to call it, where you try and match the images looking at all the flights coming in from russia and all the images from salisbury, can we have a snap, can we match anybody on the footage? and they have obviously done that very well. and it shows how useful cctv in general is to the police. years ago, this kind of thing w

they've released images of the two men after going through 11,000 hours of cctv footage.he russian foreign ministry says the names and photographs of the men "do not mean anything to moscow". 0ur security correspondent, gordon corera, reports. these two russians now stand accused of the salisbury nerve agent attack. police say they entered the country as alexander petrov and was done boshirov but those are thought to be false names used by undercover operatives —— ruslan boshirov. false names used by undercover operatives -- ruslan boshirov. the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and cps are officers from the russian military intelligence service, also known as the gru. the gru isa service, also known as the gru. the gru is a highly disciplined organisation with a well established chain of command is not a rogue operation. it was almost certainly also approved outside the gru at a senior level of the russian state. the two men, police say, carried out a remarkably sophisticated attack. they flew in from moscow and are seen here in salisb

other officials have been busy mocking the british case as absurd — a soap opera — even claiming cctvay the names of the suspects are likely to be aliases, so it is possible, whoever russia has now found, it is not the men who travelled to salisbury at all. with these surprise comments, vladimir putin has raised the prospect that the suspects in the salisbury poisoning could appear in public perhaps very soon. but, all along, moscow has dismissed the allegations coming from london as nonsense. so, whatever happens now, it seems unlikely to take the british investigation any further. this former kgb officer told me russia could be behind the salisbury attack though the culprits never expected to be discovered. so, behind their public statements, he thinks russian officials are worried. translation: all of the elite understands the mess that russia is now in. the leadership sets the tone. they say the british made it all up, that is all rubbish. that is just laddish bravado. everyone knows that the consequences will be serious. the poisoning of sergei skripal and his daughter has alread
