the only reason we know about whatd happe in salisbury was because british authorities and other westernolleagues were able to identify the poison and ultimately who did it. at the moment, i think the first step is to reports t as the chancellor said today, to the organizaons for the prevention of chemica weapons, an international organization that could sanction russia. but that ofrs c won't get us closer to the question of who did this, and why. atty: and that question of who the th why, we heard gordon say it points to the russian government.do you see anyone else who coulve done this? >> no. in fact, angela merkelt herself saids done by the state. it is made in government-controlled laboratories. you cannot just get hd of it. there's no doubt it was the russian state. the question is who? there are two possibilities. one ofec them is dorders of the kremlin. the other one is this was done by people acting more or less on their own, believing they were in ano environment it, but witht sanctions from the kremlin. both of those options are pretty diurbing. katt so what options do western
