Novichok Pair 'Handled Contaminated Item'

BBC World Service - Newshour, Novichok Pair 'Handled Contaminated Item'

British police say the latest couple poisoned by Novichok likely handled an exposed item

Charlie Rowley, 45, and Dawn Sturgess, 44, collapsed at a house in the English county of Wiltshire on Saturday and remain critically ill. British police say the pair likely handled an item exposed to Novichok.

Also in the programme: Scandal-hit Scott Pruitt has resigned as head of the US Environmental Protection Agency; Boeing has agreed a deal that will give it control of Brazil's plane-maker Embraer; and a variety of banana considered crucial for the future of the fruit now at risk of extinction.
