A British police officer who became seriously ill after being exposed to the nerve agent that targeted a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury has been released from hospital.
Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey was one of the first people to respond to the incident on 4th March when Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found in an unconscious state.
In an update from Salisbury hospital, the pair were described as remaining in a critical but stable conditioon.
Earlier a UK court ruled blood samples can be taken from them at the request of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons which is investigating the incident. The court ruling said the Skripals are unable to communicate and added it was not possible to say when or to what extent either may regain mental capacity.

Russia's Ambassador to the UK has called the comments of British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that compared Russia to Nazi Germany "unacceptable and irresponsible".
The remarks of Alexander Yakovenko came after Mr Johnson likened the public relations gains to Russian President Vladimir Putin from hosting the upcoming Football World Cup to Adolf Hitler's use of the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Mr Yakovenko said the UK had blamed Russia for the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury without any evidence, adding that is something his country cannot accept.
Speaking from the Russian Embassy in London, Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko said the comparison of Russia to Hitler's Nazi Regime could not go unchallenged.
