As the Beast from the East snowstorm battered Britain in March 2018 an assassination squad from Russia flew into London from Moscow. President Vladimir Putin demanded the murder of Sergei Skripal, the double agent who had betrayed Russia’s secrets to Britain’s Mi6. They knew his address in Salisbury. During their 2 day stay they travelled to his home and sprayed a deadly nerve agent onto the handle of his front door. The consequences of their actions would reverberate around the whole world. This is the story of Sergei Skripl, his daughter Yulia and the innocent victims of the Novichok poisonings. 45 mins.
