we are going to catch up with the latest on the situation in amesbury in wiltshire. a man and woman are in a critical condition after being exposed to an unknown substance. it's just it'sjust eight it's just eight miles from the scene of the alleged russian spy poisoning which took place in march. we heard just a short while ago from the deputy chief comes to pull paul mills telling us that the two people we re mills telling us that the two people were still being treated, were in a critical condition, but he said in a pretty firm way that they couldn't put any specific detail yet on what the substance might and might not have been and, indeed, went in a position to say whether any crime had been committed at this stage. quite a lot of details to be filled m, quite a lot of details to be filled in, to put it mildly. there has been a lot of concern and the cabinet's emergency committee cobra has been meeting to discuss the situation because this is obviously potentially very hazardous. margaret strange is the mayor of amesbury, and joins me now. thank you so much for

jon kay, bbc news, wiltshire. our security correspondent gordon corera is with me — the police have said in the last half hour the couple did touch something. do they know what it was? they believe they were contaminated by an item they handled. my understanding is police do not know exactly what that item is and they don't have it yet, but they believe it may well be some kind of container or receptacle used to carry novichok. the understanding that the contamination on the couple came from handling is based on the strongest concentration being on their hands, when they have been tested in hospital. this still means that the most plausible line of enquiry remains that this was an item discarded after the attack on the skripals which this couple then picked up. they still don't know that for sure and there are still other options and they are keeping an open mind, but this still points in that direction. all still very mysterious. the home secretary has pointed the finger firmly at russia again. the home secreta

on this programme: the home secretary tells mps the nerve agent that's poisoned a couple in wiltshire could be the same as that used against an ex russian spy and his daughter in march. it could very well be the exact same nerve agent that was used in march because it would not have had time to deteriorate in any meaningful way. there's more pressure on the work and pensions secretary over how she interpreted a critical report into a key government benefit. and there's anger in the commons when a debate on allowing mps to vote by proxy after the birth of a child is pulled from the schedule. how many more babies will have to be born to members of this house before we can start to put some modern practises in place to take care of those women and those babies? but first, the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the novichok nerve agent that has poisoned two people in amesbury in wiltshire is the same as that used in the attack on sergei and yulia skripal in march. sajid javid was updating mps after a meeting of the emergency committee cobra. the couple had been found unwell at their ho

russia's illegal annexation of crimea, a nerve agent poisoning in wiltshire and, of course, election meddling. the key question, did moscow plot her downfall? on friday, a dozen russian intelligence officers were charged with hacking the democratic national committee. mr trump said it hadn't occurred to him to ask president putin for their extradition, blaming not the hackers but the hacked. i think the dnc should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be hacked. they had bad defences. they were able to be hacked, but i heard they were trying to hack the republicans, too. and this may be wrong, but they had much stronger defences. and with that, he was off, dampening expectations but no doubt hoping to make history. this is what awaits in helsinki. and as he flew towards it, mr trump was tweeting again, calling much of the news media the enemy of the people. at least the two leaders will have something in common. james cook, bbc news, turnberry in ayshire. the brother of charlie rowley, one of the victims of the novichok poisoining in wiltshire, has spoken to the bbc abo
