If you have followed recent discussion over the case of the attempted murder of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury using a military grade nerve agent, you may find interesting the programme “Russia and the West: a new Cold War? Who is responsible?” transmitted on Austrian broadcaster Puls 4 on 11 April. In the programme (in German) I debate the background to the case with Johann Gudenus, Chief Whip of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ); Michel Reimon, an MEP of the Austrian Green party; and Ivan Rodionov, Managing Editor of RT (Russia Today) Germany.
You can see a link to the programme, broadcast in German, here. Comments welcome.
Since the programme was broadcast, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has confirmed the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical used in the attempted assassination of Mr Skripal and his daughter. You can find the Foreign Secretary’s statement here.
