that is partly why the russian embassy has described this as utterly unsatisfactory.e has been given out. they wa nt to believe has been given out. they want to see exactly what britain knows. but of course this is now a diplomatic row that will continue and we wait with interest by note when and if the foreign office will have that meeting. many thanks. the headlines on bbc news... 300 extra police will be on patrol in areas of london — after six people were killed in shootings or stabbings in the last seven days. russia warns president trump there will be a "tough response" to new us sanctions on businessmen and officials close to president putin. there's been a 25% increase in holiday makers losing their money to fraudsters — for airline tickets or accommodation that don't exist. let's get more now on our top story — the mayor of london, sadiq khan, saying police should feel confident using "stop and search" powers to try to combat a recent spate of violent crime. earlier i spoke to dal babu — a former chief superintendent with the metropolitan police who retired f
