jon kay, bbc news, wiltshire.correspondent gordon corera is with me — the police have said in the last half hour the couple did touch something. do they know what it was? they believe they were contaminated by an item they handled. my understanding is police do not know exactly what that item is and they don't have it yet, but they believe it may well be some kind of container or receptacle used to carry novichok. the understanding that the contamination on the couple came from handling is based on the strongest concentration being on their hands, when they have been tested in hospital. this still means that the most plausible line of enquiry remains that this was an item discarded after the attack on the skripals which this couple then picked up. they still don't know that for sure and there are still other options and they are keeping an open mind, but this still points in that direction. all still very mysterious. the home secretary has pointed the finger firmly at russia again. the home secretary talked about

on this programme: the home secretary tells mps the nerve agent that's poisoned a couple in wiltshire could be the same as that used against an ex russian spy and his daughter in march. it could very well be the exact same nerve agent that was used in march because it would not have had time to deteriorate in any meaningful way. there's more pressure on the work and pensions secretary over how she interpreted a critical report into a key government benefit. and there's anger in the commons when a debate on allowing mps to vote by proxy after the birth of a child is pulled from the schedule. how many more babies will have to be born to members of this house before we can start to put some modern practises in place to take care of those women and those babies? but first, the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the novichok nerve agent that has poisoned two people in amesbury in wiltshire is the same as that used in the attack on sergei and yulia skripal in march. sajid javid was updating mps after a meeting of the emergency committee cobra. the couple had been found unwell at their ho
