so i guess her pal and his daughter yulia were found unconscious just over a month ago in the u.k. city of souls bree it was later revealed that they were both exposed to a nerve agent of a type produced in the soviet union called navi chalk screw pal it used to be a russian intelligence officer before he was charged for revealing confidential information to the u.k. secret service says he remains in a coma with his daughter reportedly in a stable condition. former london mayor ken livingstone believes the u.k. authorities jumped the gun when accusing russia. i mean that's ridiculous because they literally threesome i was up there that you can day one i'm blaming russia and president putin for this making these claims before they've even been the first report from the people investigating the incident and we still haven't had their final report and i would be a fool surprised if it is never made available to the public the british government has set out to blame all of this on president thirteen and russia from the very beginning but the simple fact is a country has a principle that you

daughter of russian former spy sergei screwball both exposed to a nerve agent last month in the u.k. city of salzburg twitter as more. number of things have been said in this statement and from the russian authorities perspective it is rather worrying and some key point here she has said that she doesn't want to be contacted by the media she knows that she has the support of the russian embassy but she does not wish to have their help right now and also she doesn't want her cousin victoria to visit or now victoria has spoken out publicly and she's run the frustration because she tried to get a british visa which was denied and she says that she wanted to visit yulia and she feels that the phone conversation she had with yulia wasn't genuine is a very i ask the u.k. and you personally to reckon siddur the decision to refuse my these or they're scared that i will find out something more that yulia will tell me something yes they try to manipulate me not the kremlin m i five at first i was happy that yulia called but it was clear that she wasn't speaking her own words she was being prompted

u.k. the city correspondent would have guessed the. this is part of russia's response to the tat mirror response for every russian diplomat expelled from great britain the united states and two dozen odd other countries most of them either nato states or countries that are seeking to join nato for every russian diplomat expelled russia is expelling one of those countries diplomats from russia in the case with great britain twenty three diplomats have been expelled but it doesn't end there russia's also. the u.k. to reduce its diplomatic staff in russia by an additional fifty this is so that the number of russian diplomats in great britain and the number of british diplomats in russia at the same to establish parity this is i suppose you could say a punitive measure for great britain's role in this entire affair it was london that launched this campaign that went to these countries and convinced them to kick out russian diplomats and russia sees this is unjust and unfair because they no evidence no proof of russian involvement in this a

u.k. your city of salzburg which took place just over a month ago now. the double agent and his daughter were found unconscious on a park bench they were rushed to hospital and dog with a nerve agent poisoning which was later attributed to russia by the u.k. government citing lab findings. when i look at the the evidence from the people from from porton down they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt that typically you're not able look or down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that. the u.k. later denied boris johnson had cited porton down for confirming russia was to blame all of a letter from the foundation for strategic research police it's almost impossible to link the poison to its source. in the case of know each other i think it's not possible to direct link. a country of prediction there is no proof for sure there accuse a shine is bade on suspicion not on proof because it's in this kind of affair you know it's very difficult to find a smoking gun. it's true th
