British government calls on Russia to explain another novichok poisoning

British government calls on Russia to explain another novichok poisoning.

Britain's home secretary has said the nerve agent that caused two people to become critically ill in southern England on Saturday is the same as that used to poison a former Russian spy and his daughter earlier this year.

Also in the programme: A community rallies around as preparations are made to rescue the youth football team stuck in a cave in Thailand; and the French film-maker Claude Lanzmann has died at the age of 92
