tom symonds, bbc news, salisbury. in moscow, the russian government has vehemently denied any suggestion of involvement and promised to cooperate with the inquiry if asked. a foreign ministry spokesman accused boris johnsonng "wild" and "preposterous" statements and the russian ambassador in london accused the british media of trying to demonise russia. 0ur correspondent steve rosenberg reports from moscow. it sounds chillingly familiar. russia under suspicion of planning and executing an attack, 2,000 miles away, in britain. in 2006, the target was former russian agent alexander litvinenko, murdered in london. the man britain believes poisoned him is andrei lugovoy. today, he dismissed claims that moscow had attacked sergei skripal as propaganda. translation: why do they say he was poisoned? perhaps he poisoned himself or had a heart attack. you talk about propaganda, but what about alexander litvinenko? the inquiry in britain into his death found that you had poisoned him, probably on the orders of vladimir putin. translation: there was no official investigation into litvinenko‘s death. there was an attempt to accuse russia and a russian citizen, me, of poisoning him in britain with polonium. as for th

of england this evening thanks so much for being with us tom good to be with you now as we just heard earlier today foreign secretary boris johnson basically saying here that it is likely that the russian president vladimir putin personally ordered this poisoning does this attempted murder go to the top of russian politics what information points to that. well look i haven't seen it classified dossiers that the foreign secretary has because i represent i chair a parliamentary committee not a government one but i think it's very unlikely that a weapon of this power and potential hazard could possibly be authorized by anyone except to the very most senior levels so it's it would seem very surprising that a chemical that could it were misused for example on moscow metro could kill hundreds would be able to be to fall into the wrong hands because as we know russia has got many internal divisions and the gang violence that is so prevalent in not just in moscow but in many other towns and the spate of islamic extremism that they are facing in the south means that they're extremely careful about the arms that they that they control part

has denied any wrongdoing, but the foreign secretary boris johnson has warned of ‘robust‘ action should the kremlin be found to be involved. tomncomfortable questions linger here in wiltshire where a former russian agent and his daughter were struck down on sunday afternoon. yulia skripal lives in russia and was visiting her father, sergei, in salisbury. this cctv footage shows them just half an hour before locals alerted the police that they were unconscious on a park bench. sergei skripal was an officer in russian military intelligence but in 2004 he was arrested and later convicted for working for mi6. in 2010, he was handed over to britain as part of a spy swap. the russian government said suggestions it was involved are completely untrue but the murder in london in 2006 of former russian spy alexander litvinenko means suspicion is almost inevitable and the ramifications for russian—uk relations are huge. should evidence emerge of state responsibility than her majesty ‘s government will respond appropriately and prop the cash robust leap. and implications are huge. if russia is behind it, it means they are taking thimgs to

commission. 0ris johnson, one of the key vote leave campaign figureheads at the time, he has spoken about this, he has said: criticism from various politicians, not least from the labour party, tomy, basically saying, the electoral commission needs to have more power to be able to and more resources to be able to take action in the cases. theresa may needs to make sure the electoral commission has the money to fully investigate these allegations, if there was criminal collusion, the people who have led these campaigns are now senior cabinet members and i think we need to make sure that they were not aware of what was going on and that is why resources are needed. if needs be, police should be investigated as well. what you think of the wider political ramifications? in terms of the reputation of vote leave, it does not paint them in a good light, it raises questions about the legitimacy of the referendum, in terms of what the electoral commission can do, if these allegations turn out to be correct, it cannot rerun the referendum, but important to point out, vote leave say all of this is untrue, none of it, there is no evidence that any of this has happened, and if they did give

johnson tweeted in response and described this as completely ludicrous. he said vote leave won the referendum fair and square. we've also heard from others who have been critical about this like tom, who has said that theresa may, the prime minister, needs to make sure that the electoral commission has all of the resources it needs to fully investigate this issue. the police could potentially be called in if needs be. is that investigation going to happen? the electoral commission is investigating. it has investigated the leave campaign twice last year and found no evidence against them. they are now investigating a number of different allegations. and on this specific claim? the electoral commission would not tell us whether they were investigating this specific claim, but we know that mr sanni has given his evidence to the electoral commission and we understand that tomorrow at some point, he will be revealing his evidence. so far, we don't know what it is. and also news about the conservative mp dan poulter. people might remember that in the autumn, there were a number of conservative mps accused of inappropriately touching women or behaving inappropriately towards women. dan

johnson white house. in this book, you have a novel by billy lee brammer. why did you put that in? it is called "some of the way with lbj." tomthat is the subtitle. it is called "the gay place," and it means the earlier definition of gay, something raucous. i chose it because political journalists view it as a cult classic. a generation of people, their generation all read the book and loved it because they knew lbj, they covered him. the author was a writer for the austin texas monthly or something, but was a speechwriter for lbj from 1957 until 1959. he would've been a contemporary of dick goodwin. writing speeches for john kennedy. he was writing speeches for lbj and they had a falling out. he went back to texas. he wrote this satirical book about an lbj, made him governor of texas. it turns out to be a book that actually admires politicians and the craft of bargaining and agreement negotiating. so he has this lbj as governor of texas. and it delightfully captures texas politics and legislative politics. it is actually three novels in one. but one of the things i tried to do in this book was have books that talked about po
