alexander perepilichny died suddenlyjogging in surrey. one test revealed traces of a rare toxin in his stomach and a businessman campaigning over his death says not enough has been done to deter russia. based on the reaction of the british government to the murderer in mayfair using nuclear material with alexander litvinenko, which was nothing, it basically gave a green light to vladimir putin that he could do whatever he wants here. and he has been doing whatever he wants here for quite a while. it is still too early to be sure this investigation will go. but if the trail does connect salisbury to moscow, then the pressure will be on the british government to respond. scott stewart is vice—president of tactical analysis for the geo—political intelligence firm stratfor. he was a us state department special agent for a decade and was involved in hundreds of terror investigations. hejoins me from outside pittsburgh, pennsylvania. i know you are a special agent for the us state department and for a decade you are involved in many terror
