Against britain. i have to say a lot of detail there from teresa may. a potential that has become a staggering moment with russia's relations with the united kingdom. they have a close relationship even under the trump administration who has been criticized for being too soft on russia. just to recap, this all began a week ago, back last sunday, when sergei, a former spy for russia, who was jailed for mi-6, he and his daughter yulia went out for pizza, went out for a drink. they were found unconscious on a bench. only yesterday were people who visited those two establishments told to wash all ...
