New sanctions to be imposed following Salisbury nerve attack

Senior Russian politicians and bosses of their spying network could have sanctions imposed on them within months following the nerve agent attack in Salisbury.
The move comes as EU leaders are poised to agree a new chemical weapons sanction regime at a meeting.
The UK and France are pressing for the new system to be adopted at the Foreign Affairs Council (FAC) in Luxemburg.

Jeremy Hunt, the Foreign Secretary, along with a number of close allies will call for those responsible for the use and proliferation of chemical weapons to have assets frozen and travel bans imposed under the new regime.
