officer poisoned by novichok while investigating the attempted murder of former russian spy sergei skripalnd his daughter yulia in salisbury, has spoken publicly for the first time. in an exclusive bbc panorama to be broadcast later this evening, detective sergeant nick bailey described his ordeal. joining me now is jane corbin, the journalist who worked on tonight's programme. in it we hearfrom detective sergeant nick bailey had quite a ghastly experience when he became very ill, having touched and another chop. yes, it was on the door handle of the house and he went out to investigate if there were fatalities. he was there to look. he was unaware of this, he was wearing a full forensic suits but after he got back from the house he did not see anything there, it almost normal, he immediately had as he described its feeling hot and sweaty and pinpricks in his ice. he got really bad the next day, so much that two days on he had to be rushed to hospital. we can hear a bit of that interview. to come back from the house, iwas that interview. to come back from the house, i was quite sweaty and

it comes, of course, against the backdrop of salisbury, the attack on the skripals, and alleged russianh they are trying to target opponents of the putin regime. that's the real concern here from the uk and from america, were this fellow to become head of interpol, then it would be more likely to take forward warrants for political opponents. as david was saying, it's an important organisation, spans are so many countries. in some ways, it's been superseded by the european arrest warrant, but that's obviouslyjust in europe, then there's nato and other organisations but interpol is an overarching organisation that covers so many countries. an overarching organisation that covers so many countries. it is a secret ballot and it seems to be one country, one vote. even if the uk and the us and its allies are trying to promote a candidate from south korea instead, it seems unlikely that will happen. again it raises the question, the putin regime loves to undermine those rules—based order is, whether it's the world trading system, the banking system or the western security — — system, the bank

from headquarters, there was a sensing that the election of a russian official in context to say the skripalthat have resulted in a death in the united kingdom by the use of novacek and a nerve agent by russia, russia's attempts to use interpol in the past through red notices and other acts called dispersal notices, could have been using this position to chase after dissidents that were opposed to the putin regime. he remain, though, the russian delegate inside interpol. he retains his position as one of the vice presidents, but he is no longer expected -- well, he won't be as expected being presiding over the whole operation. that now goes to south korea. and i think that has been met, bianca, with universal relief among interpol members. >> sam kiley in dubai, thanks for bringing us the very latest. we'll check back with you next hour as well. >>> now we're going to take a short break. we'll be back with more news after this. should happen every five hundred years, right? fact is, there have been twenty-six in the last decade. allstate is adapting. with drones to assess home damage sooner.

and this assassination, it's no different from what putin has done in poisoning skripal and his daughteryou know, the former spy who -- former russian spy who he poisoned. you know, he went ahead and assassinated his enemies and just the same way the saudi arabian crown prince has done the same thing. our government should not be standing by that man. sure, we can have relations with saudi arabia, but we do not have to accept the crown prince as the designated heir to the throne. >> you can buy things from them, sell things to them, have diplomatic relations, but we can send a message that we do not accept the idea of killing your critics. >> well, that is exactly right. look, a lot of people today have called the president's approach to saudi arabia transactional. but the thing about transactional relationships, ali, is that you actually get something in return. in this case, we haven't gotten anything in return for president trump kowtowing to the saudi prince just the same way as evelyn was alluding to before, that he has bowed time and again to vladimir putin. in this case, what we h

translation: russia has even accused us of assassinating sergei skripal, the former russian agent in of the syrian people. they want to convey a picture of the syrian people as a terrorist community while saying that they are combating terrorism. we have issued reports about the numbers of victims and damage to hospitals at white helmets centres caused by the russian strikes in syria. we find it strange that russia tells the media that the use of chemical weapons in syria must be investigated but then it uses its veto at the united nations seven times in 48 hours to prevent any investigation. is it a failure of the international community that organisations like the white helmets have to exist, and also that there have been multiple chemical attacks on the people of syria? translation: we believe the international community has failed syria since the uprising began in 2011. they have done nothing about the violations that have been committed with the use of chemical weapons in our country. and because there has been no accountability, this only encourages other dictators to commit si
