BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, UK Allies Blame Russia for Skripal Poisoning

As Moscow considers its response to UK expulsions allies issue joint statement.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

As President Putin considers his response to the expulsion of twenty three Russian diplomats from London - what do his political opponents make of the UK government's response to the Salisbury nerve agent attack? We hear from a close ally of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. And we'll debate whether Jeremy Corbyn's response could have damaged Labour's electoral chances. Also thousands of civilians pour out of the besieged Syrian enclave of Eastern Ghouta - we assess the state of the civil war on the seventh anniversary of its initial stirrings. What Canada makes of Trump's admission that he made up economic facts. And an operatic response to a defining moment of the Vietnam War.
