Former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter are both responding well to treatment after being found collapsed on a bench in Salisbury city centre.
More than a month after the attack, counter-terrorism officers are working to find the origin of the nerve agent used in the attack on the double agent.
But the government is convinced that Russia was behind the attack. Ministers have been asking the Russian government to admit what has happened. They haven’t told us anything. This really can explain why Putin has so much power. Why did Russia even have the nerve agent?
A police officer, who went to help Mr Skripal and his daughter, has been released from hospital, Wiltshire’s chief constable said. Wiltshire Police named the officer as Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey.
Addressing the House of Commons, the Home Secretary said the attack was “attempted murder in the most cruel and public way”.
