Vladimir Putin is 'morally responsible' for the death of Dawn Sturgess - the British woman killed by Novichok poisoning back in 2018. That was the key finding of a public inquiry which was published today - and in this episode, Mark and Amber give their reactions to the report.
Could and should the government have done anything differently in response to the initial poisonings back in 2018? Should Wiltshire Police really have been told a former Russian agent was living on their patch? Are there still unanswered questions, more than 7 years on from the Salisbury Poisonings?
Plus, the team explains why the EU is unable to agree on whether to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine from defending itself against Putin's invasion. Amber recalls her personal experiences of dealing with the EU, and Marc P reveals why some people believe Trump and the US are backing the Belgians not to release the funds, in a bid to help Russia reintegrate into the international community.
Later: why is US Defece Secretary Pete Hegseth being accused of war crimes? Is he too gaffe-prone even for President Trump and are his days in office numbered?
