UK calls for Security Council meeting over poisoned ex-Russian spy

Britain calls for a meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the investigation into the chemical agent attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter.

The UK Foreign Office says in a tweet that it called for an “urgent” meeting to update council members on the investigation into the March 4 attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

Prime Minister Theresa May is planning to announce a range of economic and diplomatic measures against Russia in response to the assault on the pair. The father and daughter remain in critical condition in a hospital in Salisbury, southwestern England.

May is set to update the House of Commons on the matter later today.
