Russia has called for the UN Security Council to meet later to discuss the spy poisoning case in Salisbury which saw the use of a nerve agent. Moscow has lost an attempt to stage a joint investigation with the UK into the poisoning at a meeting of the world's chemical weapons watchdog, the OPCW on Wednesday.
UK authorities say they believe Russia was behind the attack on former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in early March, charges Moscow has vehemently denied.
The OPCW is conducting its own tests on the agent used in the attack. Russia's Ambassador to the OPCW Alexander Shulgin says Moscow has no confidence that inquiry will be impartial.
