russian nationals as suspects in the attempted murder of the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yuliathe men, using the names ruslan boshirov and alexander petrov, are thought to be officers from russia's military intelligence service. mr skripal and his daughter were poisoned with the nerve agent novichok in salisbury in march this year. but moscow has denied any knowledge of the men, as our security correspondent gordon corera reports. these two russians now stand accused of the salisbury nerve agent attack. it is claimed that in march they deployed the nerve agent which poisoned sergei and yulia skripal, and which months later accidentally contaminated charlie rowley, and killed dawn stu rg ess. police say they came to the country as alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov, but those are thought to be false names, used by two undercover operatives. the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and cps are officers from the russian military intelligence service, also known as the gru. the gru is a highly disciplined organisation, with a well—established chai

10:00 — two russian nationals named as suspects in the poisoning of former spy sergei skripal and his daughter yuliaafter an extensive study of cctv and other images, scotland yard says there would be sufficient evidence to charge the two men. it came six months after the skripals were poisoned by a russian—made nerve agent in salisbury, prompting a huge international outcry. the two individuals named by the police and cps are officers from the russian military intelligence services — also known as the gru. the men have been named as alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov, whose movements have been traced in detail by the british authorities. we'll have the latest on the investigation, that's involved 250 officers, and we'll be asking about the significance of today's new information. also tonight... we are three friends, bloggers, we all have one thing in common, we all have or have had cancer. tributes to the bbc‘s rachel bland, who's died at the age of a0 — presenter of an award—winning podcast documenting her treatment for cancer. scallop fishing — now britain and france have agreed the principles

it is claimed that in march they deployed the nerve agent which poisoned sergei and yulia skripal, andhich months later accidentally contaminated charlie rowley, and killed dawn stu rg ess. police say they came to the country as alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov, but those are thought to be false names, used by two undercover operatives. the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and cps are officers from the russian military intelligence service, also known as the gru. the gru is a highly disciplined organisation, with a well—established chain of command. so this was not a rogue operation. it was almost certainly also approved outside the gru, at a senior level of the russian state. the two men, police say, carried out a remarkably sophisticated attack. they flew in from moscow, and are seen here in salisbury, shortly after it is alleged they smeared nerve agent on sergei skripal‘s front door. and this was what is believed to have been their weapon — the perfume bottle used to carry the novichok nerve agent. today's announcement by the crown prosecuti

like to update the house on the investigation into the attempted murder of sergei skripal and yulia skripal. this was a sickening and despicable act in which a devastatingly toxic nerve agent was used to attack our country. it left four people fighting for their lives and one innocent woman dead. i know the force of the full house will be with the family, following their loss. in march, the government concluded that the russian state was responsible. i also said that while we all share a sense of impatience to bring those responsible to justice, as a nation that believes in the rule of law, we would give police the space and time to carry out their investigation properly. since then, about 250 detectives have gone through more than 200 -- 11,000 hours of cctv and taken more than 1400 statements. working around the clock, they have carried out painstaking and methodical work to ascertain which individuals were responsible and the method they used to carry out this attack. mister speaker, this forensic investigation has now produced sufficient evidence to bring charges against two russian nat

an hour and a half later, already contaminated from the front door, sergei and yulia skripal drove intok in the mill pub and, after lunch at zizzi's, were found seriously ill on a park bench at 4:15pm. they very nearly died. while the suspects walked calmly back to the station, took the train to london, and flew out of heathrow at 10:30pm that night to moscow, safely out of reach. by now, detective sergeant nick bailey had also become contaminated. the fake perfume bottle police think they used had a special adapted nozzle and was full of novichok. it was found injune in this counterfeit nina ricci packaging by charlie rowley. he thinks it may have been in a charity bin. his partner, dawn sturgess, died after spraying herself with the bottle. for the leader of salisbury council, today's news made what happened here all the more real. i think there's real anger today that two individuals, knowingly it appears, came to salisbury to carry out an act of what turned out to be attempted murder. there were civilians that were wrapped up in the collateral damage of that. people feel that is a s
