May chairs top security meeting over Russian spy poisoning case
British Prime Minister Theresa May has chaired a meeting of the National Security Council to discuss the case of a former Russia spy who, along with his daughter, is critically ill in hospital after an apparent poisoning by an unknown substance.
Downing Street said senior ministers were updated on the investigation which is now being led by the UK's Counter Terrorism Police, due to their expertise. The case, in the southern city of Salisbury, has not been deemed a terrorist incident.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told MPs in Parliament that the case had echoes to that of Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who was poisoned and died in London in 2006.
Wiltshire's Acting Chief Constable Kier Pritchard said additional police officers would be patrolling Salisbury but insisted there is no apparent risk to the public.
