The daughter of a former Russian spy who was poisoned by a nerve agent alongside her father in the British city of Salisbury has been discharged from hospital.
33 year old Yulia Skripal has been moved to a secure location more than five weeks after she and her father Sergei were poisoned by a nerve agent. They were exposed to the toxic nerve agent Novichok and found slumped on a park bench in the centre of Salisbury on the 4th March.
66 year old Sergei Skripal remains in hospital but his condition is "improving rapidly".
Christine Blanshard, medical director of Salisbury Hospital, said both Ms Skripal, and her father, have received "round-the-clock" care.
