UK SUMMONS RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR OVER SPY MURDER

The British Home Secretary Theresa May says the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko was a "blatant and unacceptable breach of international law"...

The UK has summoned the Russian ambassador to demand Moscow co-operates with the ongoing investigation.

It follows the publication of a long awaited British report which concluded Russian President Vladimir Putin "probably" approved his 2006 murder. 

Russia says the report was "politicised" and "not transparent".

The 43-year-old died three weeks after consuming tea laced with radioactive polonium-210 at a London hotel. Two Russian men accused of the murder deny involvement.

Alan Cowell, author of a book about Alexander Litvinenko, believes the murder showed the West what Moscow was capable of.
