Podcasts about skripals

Independent journalists Kit Klarenberg and Tim Norman have conducted significant investigations into the alleged 2018 assassination attempt on Sergei Skripal, a former Russian intelligence officer turned British spy, and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, England. The episode also covers the related death of Dawn Sturgess in nearby Amesbury, which was recently the subject of a UK inquiry. Skripal, who betrayed Russia for MI6 in the 1990s, was settled in Salisbury after a spy swap in 2010. On March 4, 2018, he and Yulia were found unconscious on a bench, allegedly poisoned by the nerve agent "novichok," which the British government attributed to Russian operatives. The official narrative claims this poison was smeared on Skripal's door, though inconsistencies—such as the delayed onset of symptoms, the survival of the Skripals, and lack of definitive evidence linking the agent to Russia—raise doubts about the UK government's story.Months later, Englishwoman Dawn Sturgess died after reportedly spraying herself with "novichok" from a sealed perfume bottle found by her boyfriend, Charlie Rowley, prompting further accusations against Russia. However, the apparently sealed bottle and the inability of scientists to confirm the nerve agent's origin undermined the government's claims. The British narrative was shaky and possibly propped up by intelligence-linked entities like Bellingcat and the Institute for Statecraft's Integrity Initiative, which may have pushed disinformation. The recently concluded Sturgess Inquiry, designed to control the narrative, inadvertently exposed its weaknesses.To find out more about the people and music featured in today's episode, visit the Assassinations Podcast website, www.AssassinationsPodcast.com You can find Tim's work on the Propaganda in Focus website (https://propagandainfocus.com/author/h7_2q94aatnh5/) and UK Column (https://www.ukcolumn.org/writer/tim-norman), as well as on X.com @timtron2020Kit writes for The Grayzone website (https://thegrayzone.com/author/kit-klarenberg/), including on the Skripal/Sturgess case: https://thegrayzone.com/2025/01/13/british-inquiry-skripal-poisoning/.

When the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia collapsed on a bench in Salisbury, it was Sunday shoppers who first stepped in to help. Amazingly, two of them were highly qualified medics. We hear their stories. Also, how the consultants at Salisbury District Hospital realised these were no ordinary patients.

Sechs Jahre nach der angeblichen Vergiftung von Sergei und Julia Skripal sowie dem Tod der Britin Dawn Sturgess hat in London ein Gerichtsprozess begonnen. Doch die wichtigsten Zeugen werden dort nicht erscheinen, sodass nach wie vor unklar ist, ob die Skripals überhaupt noch leben. Von Wladimir Kornilow

For generations of women and girls, glossy magazines have been a guide to clothes, lifestyles, relationships and, of course, sex. Titles like Cosmopolitan, Woman's Own and Sugar were pored over by thousands of us and now there is a podcast that celebrates those beloved back issues. Every week the hosts of Mag Hags, Lucy Douglas and Franki Cookney, read a different issue of a magazine from the 70s, 80s or 90s. As well as revelling in the 20th Century fashions, features and lifestyle advice, Lucy and Franki join Nuala McGovern to uncover a fascinating insight into the way we lived then, and the way we live now.A public inquiry begins today which will explore the circumstances of the death of Dawn Sturgess, the woman from Wiltshire killed by a 2018 poisoning blamed on Russian agents. Her death came four months after Sergei and Yulia Skripal were found unconscious on a bench in Salisbury. At the time Prime Minister Theresa May said the Skripals were poisoned with the military grade nerve agent, Novichok and that it was "highly likely" that Russia was responsible - a claim Russia denies. Dawn Sturgess died after coming in to contact with the nerve agent which had been hidden inside a perfume bottle. Nuala is joined by BBC Wiltshire's Marie Lennon, one of the voices behind the new BBC Podcast, Salisbury Poisonings.Black Box Diaries is a feature-length documentary that follows the director Shiori Itō's investigation into her own alleged sexual assault in an attempt to prosecute her high-profile offender. Opening up questions around the #MeToo movement in Japan, Shiori explains how her quest became a landmark case exposing the country's outdated judicial and societal systems.Death is a subject many people still shy away from, but one woman is determined to change that. Funeral director Inez Capps is on a mission to challenge the taboos around death and demystify an industry often shrouded in mystery. Since the age of 19, she's been working with the deceased, and she's using social media to give people a glimpse behind the scenes — from the care a loved one receives, to tours of the hearse and the embalming suite. Inez runs a funeral business with her parents in the East Midlands.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

With Russia's invasion of Ukraine faltering, could the Kremlin consider escalating the conflict using chemical weapons? What would biological warfare look like?  Dr Alastair Hay, a Professor of Environmental Toxicology at the University of Leeds, joins Arthur Snell to discuss the history of chemical weapons, and if we'll see them used in the Ukraine conflict.

But all the evidence points to them being responsible for the Salisbury poisonings.”  “The novichok nerve agent used against the Skripals and Navalny is exceeding lethal in small quantities.”  “Russia has stood back and supported Syria's use of chemical weapons.”  “The U.K. had stocks of chemical weapons, but these were destroyed in the 1950s and 60s.”  “Chemical weapons cause nowhere near as many casualties as nuclear weapons, but they are indiscriminate.”  “Troops have protective clothing, but civilians don't, so the use of these weapons would be to terrorise the population.” DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold.

Hello and welcome to the first episode of my new podcast the Global Agora. My name is Andrej Matišák, and I work as the deputy head of foreign desk in Slovak daily Pravda. My guest is Mark Galeotti. He is, as his Twitter bio says, an analyst of murky topics from Russian politics to global crime and his podcast is called in Moscow's shadows. Mark is an author of a number of books about Russia. Most recently We need to talk about Putin and A Short History of Russia. And Russia is also again in the news. Czech government decided to expel 18 Russian diplomats as it concluded that Russian military agents were involved in an ammunition depot explosion in Czechia in 2014. Two Czech civilians were killed at that time. Czechia is also searching for the GRU operatives Alexander Mishkin and Anatoliy Chepiga who were also involved in the Skripals poisoning. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrej-matisak/message

Conversations we have about important news stories that we want to share with you before we begin recording a main video topic for our channel. Before the video, EP 29.

THE BEST BITS IN A SILLIER PACKAGE (from Monday's Mike Hosking Breakfast) Comparing Policies/Trump's Still In It/Are the Forecasts Actually Right?/Hey There, Skripals!

A security specialist says former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia - who are reportedly hiding in New Zealand - still have a target on their backs. British newspaper The Sunday Times is reporting the Skripals are living here under new identities. The pair were found to have been poisoned by Russian agents with a nerve agent in England two years ago. Dr Paul Buchanan speaks to Corin Dann.

Sergei and Yulia Skripal, the former Russian double agent spy and his daughter who were poisoned with the deadly nerve agent Novichok, are now reportedly living in New Zealand. Two years ago the pair were found unconscious on a park bench in the English city of Salisbury after Russian agents smeared the deadly chemical on the door-handle of the former spy's home. Senior UK government sources have told The Sunday Times the Skripals have been given new identities to start a life here after a year in an MI6 safe house. However, according to Sputnik news, the niece of Sergei Skripal, Viktoria, says she doesn't have any information to corroborate the story. We asked the Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway for a reponse, but he declined to comment saying he can't comment on individual cases. His department is working on getting a response, but that has not yet reached us. Sir Tony Brenton, a former UK Ambassador to Russia speaks to Corin Dann. Viktoria Skripal, niece of former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal, says she does not have any information to corroborate the story that her uncle and cousin Yulia have left the UK for New Zealand, or any reason to believe media reporting on the matter. "I don't know anything about this. But I don't believe it. Their participation in a witness protection programme and relocation is something that has been discussed for a long time. "New Zealand, the USA and Australia were previously mentioned. But I think that they're still in Porton Down. It's cheaper for the British government to support them there than in New Zealand, and they don't have so much money to support themselves there," Viktoria Skripal said. The relative believes the Skripals require medical supervision that can be provided to them only in Porton Down, the Wiltshire, England science park which contains some of Britain's most advanced military biodefence facilities. "I think the information in the media about them moving is just a distraction," she insisted.

Gordon Dimmack joins us from the West Midlands, UK with updates and analysis on Brexit and to offer some insights on the similarities between the War Party attacks on Jeremy Corbyn and Tulsi Gabbard. We also have a wide ranging discussion on war, the Anglo-American empire, Russiagate, the Skripal Affair, and UK politics. Gordon hosts a popular YouTube channel where he covers news, politics, war and the horrific state of our corporate media. He works to fill their void by striving to analyze and report truthfully and consistently. In his own words: “The corporate and mainstream media have sunk to such depths of distrust, that the public are tuning in to the rantings of a middle aged man on his YouTube channel instead. That’s a damning indictment on the state of Western media today, in my opinion. Which is really something considering I’m the middle aged man in question. The Fourth Estate has become the Fifth Column, in the UK and many other Western countries, which is extremely dangerous. Democracy can only thrive if it has an independent media holding power and government to task, unearthing lies and corruption rather than being complicit in them, as our media now sadly is.”   FOLLOW Gordon on Twitter @gordondimmack.

Part 1/3. Sergei Skripal was a Russian military intelligence offer who betrayed his country to work for the British in the 1990s. He later moved to England, where he seemingly lived in retirement in the quaint cathedral city of Salisbury. But it appears that Skripal had not entirely left the world of spies behind him. Was this why he, with his daughter, was poisoned in March 2018? In Part 1 of a three-part episode, we follow the Skripals on the day they fell ill, and we find out about the exotic substance that might have been used against them.To find out more about the people and music featured in today’s episode, visit the Assassinations Podcast website.Please take our listener survey!

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by David Ewing, the chair of the San Francisco chapter of the US-China People’s Friendship Association, and Sputnik News analyst Walter Smolarek.Vice President Mike Pence gave a high profile, hardline speech at the Hudson Institute today that China is the world’s greatest military and economic threat, and he risks inflaming an already delicate relationship. In a speech that set a new tone in bilateral relations and seeks to confront China directly, Pence argued that Beijing is a hostile military power to both the United States and regional countries and that the Chinese government has meddled in US elections and will do so again. Pence also argued that China’s strong economy is a threat to global financial stability. Today the hosts continue Loud & Clear’s weekly series “Criminal Injustice,” where we talk about the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country. Kevin Gosztola, a writer for Shadowproof.com and co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, and Alex Friedman, the associate director of the Human Rights Defense Center, join the show. The US, British, and Dutch governments today accused the Russian military intelligence agency, the GRU, of a program of hacking into a variety of international targets. This includes the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, allegedly to interfere with the investigation into the poisoning of the Skripals—a charge Russia denies. The coordinated allegations come only a day after Defense Secretary James Mattis said that the US would share its offensive cyber capabilities with its NATO partners. Meanwhile, the Justice Department this morning indicted seven Russian military officers for hacking computers associated with international sports doping organizations. Why is the west rolling out this new policy right now? Brian and John speak with Daniel Lazare, a journalist and author of three books—“The Frozen Republic,” “The Velvet Coup,” and “America's Undeclared War.” Climate experts are gathering in South Korea this week to urge their governments to work harder and faster to halt global warming. Energy and climate ministers from around the world, joined by UN experts, are trying to conceive of a plan to reverse the effects of carbon emissions and are working to devise target dates for major reductions. Fred Magdoff. He is professor emeritus of plant and soil science at the University of Vermont and the co-author of “What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know About Capitalism” and “Creating an Ecological Society: Toward a Revolutionary Transformation” from Monthly Review Press, joins the show. The FBI investigation that the Senate asked for has wrapped up after 7 days without interviewing many witnesses who volunteered information, or even alleged sexual assault survivor Dr. Christine Blasey Ford or Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh himself. Today, there are actions against his nomination nationwide. Alexander Rubenstein, who we talk to from the rally at the Supreme Court, a Sputnik news analyst and journalist whose work is on twitter @RealAlexRubi, Karla Reyes, managing editor of the magazine Breaking the Chains and an activist for women’s rights who is mobilizing people for the rally today at Trump Tower in New York, and Sputnik News analyst Walter Smolarek, join Brian and John. A federal judge in San Francisco yesterday blocked one of the Trump administration’s most important immigration policies, allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who thought they would soon be deported to remain in the country. The temporary injunction covers immigrants from Sudan, El Salvador, Haiti, and Nicaragua. Juan José Gutiérrez, the executive director of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition, joins the show.Amazon announced this week that it would institute a $15 per hour minimum wage after labor and political pressure on the company. Now, Amazon says that it will end performance bonuses for employees in order to recoup the costs of its wage increases. And all the while, Amazon’s founder and primary shareholder, Jeff Bezos, continues to be the richest man in the world, with a net worth of some $165 billion. Brian and John speak with Neal Sweeney, the Vice President of UAW Local 5810, the union representing post-doctoral researchers in the University of California system.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker is joined by Dr. Gerald Horne, a professor of history at the University of Houston and author of many books, including “Blows Against the Empire: U.S. Imperialism in Crisis.”The world is changing fast as the dominant position of the United States in global politics is called into question by emerging powers. As several world leaders sharply criticize the Trump administration from the rostrum of the United States, what does the future hold for geopolitics? Friday is Loud & Clear’s regular segment on the midterms, taking a look at political races around the country in the runup to midterm elections in November. Jacqueline and Abdus Luqman, the co-editors-in-chief of Luqman Nation, which hosts a livestream every Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. on Facebook, and Brent Jabbour, an RT news analyst and host of the podcast Origin Stories, join the show. Less than a day after the powerful testimony of Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh furious response, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted along partisan lines to advance Kavanaugh’s nomination with a positive recommendation. All eyes are now on the full Senate as it prepares for a final vote. Brian speaks with Heidi Boghosian, the executive director of the A. J. Muste Memorial Institute and the former executive director of the National Lawyers Guild. Julian Assange stepped down yesterday evening as the editor-in-chief of Wikileaks. He’ll remain the publisher, but Kristinn Hrafnsson will step up to be the new editor-in-chief there. Randy Credico, an activist, a comedian, and the former director of the William Moses Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice, joins the show. Bellingcat, a citizen journalist website, reported this week that they’d found the true identity of Ruslan Boshirov, one of the Russians that Britain has accused of poisoning the Skripals in Salisbury. Bellingcat has existed for a few years, and most of its renown has come from chemical weapons investigations and accusations against Syrian President Assad. Alexander Mercouris, the editor-in-chief of The Duran, joins Brian. The US and Mexico will release the text of their bilateral trade agreement tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern, according to Bloomberg News. The Trump administration was eager to conclude an agreement with Mexico before president-elect Obrador takes office, leaving Canada out in the cold and calling the existence of the NAFTA trade agreement itself into question. Dr. Jack Rasmus, a professor of economics at Saint Mary's College of California and author of “Central Bankers at the End of Their Ropes: Monetary Policy and the Coming Depression,” whose work is at www.jackrasmus.com, joins the show.It’s Friday! So it’s time for the week’s worst and most misleading headlines. Brian speaks with Steve Patt, an independent journalist whose critiques of the mainstream media have been a feature of his blog Left I on the News and on twitter @leftiblog, and Sputnik producer Nicole Roussell.

On this episode of Fault Lines, guests join hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan to discuss the mainstream media's treatment of President Trump and vice versa. President Trump skipped the annual White House Correspondents' dinner, opting to rally with supporters in Michigan instead. There the President mocked the media and claimed credit for the historic Korea agreements. Press reactions to the snub were mixed, with widespread criticism of Michelle Wolf, the featured comedian the President called “filthy.” Who if anyone is winning the ongoing battle between President Trump and the mainstream media? The hosts will also ask guests questions the mainstream media won't ask—and cover the news the MSM won't cover—about Syria, the ongoing captivity of Julian Assange and the Skripals, attacks on WikiLeaks and other whistleblowers / Indy Media, and other important news you can't get from Joy Reid (who is busy explaining her incendiary blog posts), in the “Divided States of America.”Scheduled guests and topics:Vanessa Beeley, Independent journalist | Topic: What Vanessa Saw on Her Trip to DoumaFord Fischer, independent videographer, editor, computer scientist, web designer, co-founder of News2share.com | Topics: Charlottesville and In-Field JournalismColin Kalmbacher | Topic: Joy Reid's Evolving Story About Her Blog Posts

"Community of Democracies" Hosts: Vicky Davis, Darren Weeks COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AND CREDITS AT: https://governamerica.com/radio/radio-archives/22116-govern-america-april-21-2018-community-of-democracies The role of "regime theory" in the restructuring of governments. Follow up on the Skripals as the story continues to evolve with new evidence. We now know the chemical that was used. Deep dive on the situation in Syria, as it has become very obvious that the alleged chemical weapon attack, which served as the pretense for the U.S. bombing, never really happened. More than one reporter on the ground (and they DON'T work for Russian media) say that they are hard-pressed to find anyone there who believes it happened. Staffers at the hospital where the hosing down of children are saying that there were no chemical weapons patients. It appears to be a totally staged event. The State Department is setting the stage for OPCW inspectors to find nothing by claiming that Russia and Syria are refusing the inspectors access. The inspectors are actually on the ground, but who fired shots at them? Also, who are the White Helmets? What is their real role? Who is funding the group and why? Also, Operation Timber Sycamore, the Russians' activities in the Arctic, and a couple of phone calls.

THE NEWS media is a weapon. The question is who's wielding it and for what purpose? Topics: Missile strike on Syria; the Skripals recover; Russian Tarot; and another prophecy of Planet X.

"Assembly Line Hangings" Hosts: Vicky Davis, Darren Weeks COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AND CREDITS AT: https://governamerica.com/radio/radio-archives/22115-govern-america-april-14-2018-assembly-line-hangings The Skripal poisoning story, used to villainize the Russians, has fallen apart, as the Skripals are now on their road to recovery. Numerous questions remain unanswered about how three people could be gassed with what has been called the deadly agent, Novichok, and fully recover just days later. Why are the Brits and the CIA working to give the Skripals a new identity? Why is the daughter, Yulia Skripal, who we are now told has been released from the hospital, being kept out of the limelight and away from the public? Why not allow the public to hear what happened from the people who would know best? In the wake of this questionable event, allegations again surface that Bashar Al-Assad gassed his own people. The timing of this attack comes just after Trump demanded of his aids that U.S. troops be withdrawn from Syria. We talk about the battle going on behind the scenes, by the deep state, to control the presidency and dictate foreign policy. As the battle rages within the White House, Trump orders the another bombing of Syria. Other than a video of people being hosed down, what evidence exists that the attack even took place? What would Assad's motive be for gassing civilians and inciting the ire of his enemies when he is winning the war against the rebels? And just who are the rebels that the U.S. is backing over there? Are we being told the truth? We examine the current incident in light of similar incidents in the past. What is the significance of hitting the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center? Trump's attorney Michael Cohen was raided this week, with documents being seized related to the Stormy Daniels scandal. Could a "wag the dog" scenario also be in play? India seeks to scan the eyes, face, and fingerprints of its entire population for entry into a database that would be used every time a person makes a purchase. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is seeking to establish a searchable database of U.S. media influencers — including alternative media, bloggers, podcasters, columnists, and talk show hosts. Also, Mark Zuckerberg testifies before Congress regarding the Facebook / Cambridge Analytica scandal. We explain the connection between Facebook and Palantir Technologies, and connect the dots to DARPA's 2003 Lifelog program.

This week we discuss the 1981 plot by a New Zealander to kill the Queen of England (and, admittedly, Aotearoa New Zealand), a plot which was covered up the authorities at the time. There's also a bit of news about the Skripals, including discussion about someone who didn't mew like a cat...

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Kevin Gosztola, a writer for Shadowproof.com and co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, and Paul Wright, the founder and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center and editor of Prison Legal News and Criminal Legal News.Today, the weekly series “Criminal Injustice” continues, where the hosts discuss the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country, including the murder by NYPD of Saheed Vassell, a man known by cops and the community to be mentally ill. Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. After he was killed, there were uprisings in dozens of cities, though these powerful rebellions have been falsely portrayed as opportunistic and materialistic looting and rioting. What were the social movements at the time of the assassination of Dr. King and what kind of oppression caused the Black community to rise up after this assassination? Malik Rahim, a former Black Panther and a longtime housing and prison activist in Louisiana who gained widespread attention as an important community organizer in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, joins the show. Yulia Skripal, who last month was poisoned in the UK with her father, a Russian double agent, is finally recovering. She said she feels stronger each day, but is still disoriented. The British government has said the Skripals were poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok. Absent any proof, however, British scientists and politicians have backed off that claim. Brian and John speak with Dr. Piers Robinson, the chairman of the politics, society, and political journalism department at the University of Sheffield and the author of “Routledge Handbook of Media, Conflict and Security.” The Brazilian Supreme Court ruled last night that former president Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva can be sent to prison while he appeals his conviction on corruption charges. Lula said that the 6-5 ruling was an underhanded ploy to keep him off the ballot. He is currently leading in presidential preference polls. Earlier yesterday, a Brazilian general threatened a military coup if Lula was not imprisoned. Ada Siqueira, a member of Brazilian Expats for Democracy and Social Justice, joins the show. Major teachers strikes continue in Oklahoma and Kentucky, even though the Oklahoma state legislature has agreed to increase teachers salaries. The teachers are striking due to pensions, class sizes, classroom supplies, up-to-date textbooks, and respect. Liz Davis, President of the Washington Teachers Union who has taught in DC public schools for 41 years, joins Brian and John. Facebook executives announced yesterday that at least 87 million users had their personal data harvested secretly by data firm Cambridge Analytica. The number is far higher than Facebook had previously admitted. The company responded by saying that it would adopt Europe’s stricter privacy policies for the US. But Congress wants CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify. Dr. Robert Epstein, the Senior Research Psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, and Bill Binney, a former NSA technical director who became a legendary national security whistleblower, join the show.A group of retired veteran intelligence, law enforcement, and military professionals yesterday delivered a letter to the Ecuadorian Ambassador to the United States asking that his country allow Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to have internet access and permission for him to receive visitors. Assange has been cut off from the outside world for two weeks now after he commented on Twitter about Catalonian elections. Brian speaks with John about delivering the letter to the embassy yesterday.

Darrell Castle examines the questions of who poisoned the Skripals and where the evidence is that Russia did it. Transcript / Notes WHO POISONED THE SKRIPALS Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, March 30, 2018, and more importantly, this is Good Friday, or the Friday before Easter.   This is good news day and if there is good news out there I will find it today.  First though, we have to talk and wonder, about the Skripals and who poisoned them.  Were they actually poisoned?  It's hard to be sure in our world because no government, and virtually no media, can be trusted to report the truth. Something that we can be certain of, is that on Sunday, March 18, Vladimir Putin was re-elected as the leader of Russia.  That's no surprise at all, because although Russia pretends to have Western-style democracy, there is always only one candidate with any chance to win.  Just before the election, the news about Sergei Skripal, age 66, and his daughter Yulia Skripal, age 33, being poisoned became Front Page news around the world. There are many questions that need to be answered about the Skirpals, and many things make the apparent attack on them seem very odd indeed.  I said apparent attack because it's best not to take anything involving government at face value.  The official narrative released to the press and to the people of the world, is full of holes and raises more questions than it answers.  The first question is why the government of Great Britain thinks that Russia was behind the attack.  Britain, through its foreign minister Boris Johnson and Prime Minister Teresa May, said it's “highly likely” that Russia did it. So if it is highly likely that Russia did it, why won't the British government allow the recovered nerve agent to be examined by Russian scientists and by the Convention for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to which all nations involved are parties?  Article 9 Section 2 of the Convention reads as follows: “Without prejudice to the right of any State Party to request a challenge inspection, State Parties should, whenever possible, first make every effort to clarify and resolve, through exchange of information and consultations among themselves, any matter which may cause doubt about compliance with this convention, or which gives rise to concerns about a related matter which may be considered ambiguous.  A State Party which receives a request from another State Party for clarification of any matter which the requesting State Party believes causes such a doubt or concern shall provide the requesting State Party as soon as possible, but in any case not later than 10 days after the request, with information sufficient to answer the doubt or concern raised along with an explanation of how the information provided resolves the matter.” That section says to me that when the evidence of an accusation of a breach of the Convention is requested, the evidence must be provided within 10 days.  Russia and Britain agreed to this Convention, and it required them to destroy chemical weapons stocks in order to be in compliance.  Russia says it destroyed all stocks under UN ,and even United States, observation.  Russia has denied the poisoning and requested the evidence, but no evidence has been forthcoming. Great Britain said to Russia and the world that these people were on British soil and were poisoned with a nerve agent called Novichok, which is made in Russia and nowhere else.  It's true that Novichok is very deadly, and that it was invented by Russia in the 1970's, but that was at least 30 years ago. Wouldn't it be very easy for someone else to have acquired it, including those involved in the destruction of the Russian chemical weapons stockpiles?  There even seems to be evidence that the Iranians were working on production.  We have seen that the Convention, which was set up and agreed to as a method for handling such disputes, requires that an accused nation be given the right to...
