How could new Novichok victims be poisoned 4 months after the attack?
A friend of Dawn Sturgess and Charles Rowley said that she believed that the couple had found a vial and a needle and that she believed that it was heroin.
In fact, the syringe could have been used by the badbadins sent to kill the Skripals. and easy to spray on the door of Sergei's entrance.
The Cigarette
A former neighbor of Dawn Sturgess said she would pick up discarded cigarettes to prop up her own tobacco box.
He said, "If she picks up fag and she ends up accumulating a stash of tobacco, she could have smoked the poison. Many people pick up half-smoked cigarettes – if that's what brought the spy and he threw it somewhere – Dawn could have picked it up.
The sack
are also likely to investigate allegations that the couple would have found a sack and would have prevailed.
Inside this bag may have been the vial or the syringe containing the Novichok.
In a statement released today, the Metropolitan Police said: "Because of the unique challenges badociated with this operation, the police activity should take weeks and months to complete."
They added: "A number of sites have been cordoned off in the Salisbury and Amesbury areas.These are believed to be the places that the man and woman have visited before they were visited. they become ill, it is a precautionary measure and meticulous and systematic searches are being carried out in these areas
"The agents wear protective equipment in the exercise of their activity and barriers of protection can also be installed on some of these sites.There is no evidence that the man and the woman have visited any of the sites that were decontaminated as a result of attempted murders of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in March of this year
The experts said today that the new poisonings of Salisbury Novichok will help Britain unmask the murderers allegedly sent by Russia.
The police and the secret services finally vent where the badbadins threw their weapon – and can use CCTV to follow them.
The commando sent to badbadinate Sergei Skripal probably sprayed Novichok on his front door before he dragged him and his daughter Yulia across Salisbury until they saw them in their tracks. collapse on a bench on March 4th.
Believing that their work was done throwing their weapon into the gardens of Queen Elizabeth before fleeing Salisbury and probably the country.
It was where Dawn and Charlie probably picked it up.
The police admitted that she can not guarantee that the others will not be poisoned and the authorities have warned hundreds of people who have approached the couple and their homes to wash their clothes and wipe such items only jewelry and phones. month after the Skripal attack no suspects have been identified – but new poisonings could lead to a breakthrough.
The government says that it is sure that the Kremlin is responsible for the devastation caused by the nerve agent made in Russia.
Security Minister Ben Wallace told the BBC: "We have first-rate expertise in this country, and we'll find out who did it and what happened. may take years, it may take months.
Bretton-Gordon chemical weapons expert Hamish added, "I understand that the security services and the police are quite convinced that they are going to find and find a solution to those who attack. [the Skripals]. The Russians could walk on the front and help us here.
Last night, images of Dawn Sturgess were buying beer and wine in Salisbury before returning to her homeless shelter.

Dawn and Charlie are thought to have visited at least five stores in Salisbury the day before they get sick.
Security sources said that they had the highest concentration of Novichok on their hands, causing fears of everything that they were touching. could be contaminated.

Novichok used in Salisbury was probably stored in a bottle in glbad
The Novichok used to poison Sergei and Yulia Skripal could have been kept in a glbad container and extracted by a needle or syringe, an academic said to me.
A theory studied by the police is whether Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley inadvertently found the container used to transport the toxic substance.
Professor Emeritus of Environmental Toxicology at the University of Leeds, Alastair Hay, says nerve agents – because of being quite corrosive – are usually kept in glbad containers, and are made in doubled reaction vessels of glbad.
Asked by the Press Association what the Novichok used in the Salisbury attack may have been stored, he says: "
" With a suitable bonnet that could have been safely transported by someone, but who would probably also have it in another sealed container. try to avoid at all costs any kind of contact with her.
"If you decant a kind of liquid, there is always a huge risk of exposure, so it's possible that it's in a container and they've taken something with a needle and a syringe." "Delivering device" lacerated with Novichok's neurotoxic agent that was casually thrown away after the attack.
It could be a syringe and believing that it was heroin or Cocaine crack that they have injected into their blood .. claimed that it could have been on an object like a cigarette and they "smoked the poison."
The couple remained in critical condition at the hospital last night.
Charlie's brother Matthew said today: I love him in pieces. I do not want him to happen to him whatever it is, and yet it was.
How would you treat it, you know? "
After another terrifying day in Salisb ury, he also appeared:
- Interior Minister Sajid Javid accused Russia of using Britain as a "poison dump".
- Police were accused of "putting the head on" The government said it would use President Trump's visit and the NATO summit next week to inform the allies about potential retaliation.
- Russia accused the United Kingdom of having organized crisis to ruin the World Cup and stir up "anti-Russia hysteria".
Laboratory tests confirming that the couple was hit by the military-grade nerve agent plunged Salisbury into crisis. Hundreds of police, security and public health officials are trying out across the city.
The investigators are trying to trace the steps of the unhappy couple last Friday while they were shopping and relaxing in the gardens of Queen Elizabeth. The park, with a town inn and an address at Amesbury, seven miles away, is completely sealed. Police also closed a Baptist church and Boots branch where Mr. Rowley made an order after fearing that he would be exposed.
The two victims had collapsed, had hallucinations and were fuming their mouths on Saturday. The officers suspected that they may have consumed a "bad lot" of heroin, but two days later, blood tests at Porton Down confirmed that they too had been in contact with novichok

The residents of Salisbury told MailOnline that they were afraid to be poisoned
which was completely cordoned off – spoke today of his concern after many of them have crossed the park since the summer. Novichok attack in March.
The gardens were closed after Dawn Sturgess and her partner Charlie Rowley came in contact with the deadly nerve agent.
Today Wiltshire Police officers stood guard at each of the many entrances and a team of unmanned Avi specialists The surveillance group inspected the area with the help of drones from police.
A police officer at the scene said that the drone was used to monitor the gardens and collect images for police briefings. Georgia Wright, 19, the mother of Phoebe, her three-month-old daughter, said she could not believe everything happened again.
She said, "I'm worried. On Monday, I walked in the gardens with my three-month-old baby and the same place is now closed.
"I have really bad anxiety and this only makes things worse, especially when one is not there.
"All of a sudden, police arrived in my building and it's scary, you do not know what's going on.
"What annoys me the most is the police did not come to tell us anything.
"Then I discovered that it was Novichok and the couple had come into contact with her in the gardens of Queen Elizabeth, where I have my daughter walk.
"No matter who could have picked it up, a child might have it. There is the impression that the police are not aware of what happened when she arrived at the Skripals.
John Walker, 83, who lives next to the Queen Elizabeth Gardens, said he and his wife had been walking their dogs since the first attack.
He said, "I think the people who came into contact with the Novichok are lucky that they did not die."
"No one tells us anything, even if they knew what had happened, tell us"
Employees of local businesses in downtown Salisbury said today worried that after all the cleansing efforts, the deadly nerve agent was still present and able to kill.
Ella Xuereb, 23, who also works at a Barber, said that she had gone to the convenience store Charlie the same day that Dawn bought alcohol – and every day since.
She said, "I worry about a I went the same day as she and she is now in the hospital after touching a little.
"Wherever they were closed to be sure of". to be safe for the public – they did the same when the Skripals were poisoned. "
" Anyone who has attacked the Skripals must throw them right next to the public & # 39 ;.
Carole Gray, 61, who runs Bernardo's charity shop in downtown, said it was scary to think that someone might have picked up the Novichok.
She said, "I heard that they may have found themselves by dives in charity donation bins.
"We have trash cans at the back, and they are crossed every day – no matter who could have gone and put something in it.
The owner of Charlie's convenience store, where Sturgess bought drinks, refused to say anything but say that he was not worried. 19659142] They now believe that Mr. Rowley and Mrs. Sturgess, a mother of three, may have spotted something unusual on the floor and picked it up. Some friends said that Mr. Rowley, a recovering drug addict, sometimes scavenged for things he could sell. Until now, nothing has been found and the police said they have no idea of the origin of the nerve agent.
Experts suspect that the couple fell on the object after throwing "randomly". Chief Medical Officer of England urged people not to pick up "unknown or already dangerous objects". The article is not considered a needle or syringe, but could even be a cigarette. A source said: "Novichok does not evaporate. It exists forever. Incineration is the most effective method. But they will not burn Salisbury.
Whitehall officials insisted that there was nothing that could suggest a "cleaning failure" since none of the areas involved were in the decontamination operation of several million pounds. But authorities are seriously wondering why the possibility that potentially lethal materials have been dumped elsewhere has apparently not been considered.
Chemical warfare expert Philip Ingram said: "They could have thrown it under a hedge, they would have thrown it into a school yard." They could have put it under the seat from a local train

put the public at risk
"What they used is what I clbad as the ostrich effect." Well, it's too complicated so we're going to put our heads in the and hope that nothing will happen, unfortunately something has happened. "
Authorities insist that the areas of Salisbury already cleaned as part of the Skripal incident are safe. But yesterday, Wiltshire Police Chief Kier Pritchard warned that there would be a "significant increase" in police activity. He said that they still could not confirm where the contamination occurred, adding, "It is too early for us to understand that. We simply do not know. But he added that he could confirm precisely wherever the couple visited before they collapsed.
Debbie Stark of Public Health England insisted that the threat to the public remains "low". She said the situation was "worrying" but that health experts "work tirelessly" to protect people.
Interior Minister, Sajid Javid, accused the Kremlin of being responsible for the devastation. He told MEPs: "The eyes of the world are currently on Russia, especially because of the World Cup, it is now time for the Russian state to come forward and explain exactly what happened.
"It is totally unacceptable that our peoples are deliberate or accidental targets, or our streets, our parks, our cities be"
But the Kremlin has stated that this was part of the UK's efforts to tarnish the World Cup.
What is Novichoks, what do they do and why do they take so long to disappear?
What are the Novichoks?
A range of neurotoxic agents manufactured in Soviet laboratories in the 1970s that are the deadliest ever seen. Typically liquid, they can be sprayed in aerosols or added to waxy gels, allowing them to be coated. Investigators believe that a nerve agent could have been on the door of the Skripal entrance
What are they doing?
Novichoks can affect the victims in minutes, disrupting the nervous system and disabling the muscles. . The resulting lack of oxygen can cause brain damage, while overactive brain nerves trigger seizures. Nerve agents "turn on the taps", flooding the body with liquid, so that the victims foam in their mouths and run out of their eyes and nose as their lungs fill with mucus.
How do they find them? 19659002] They can not be identified outside a laboratory, so that investigators dabble surfaces and take soil and vegetation samples to establish the fingerprint of a substance [19659002] How are they cleaned? these nerve agents are surprisingly simple. Bleach can do the job and the water also breaks down the toxins, making the chemicals much less harmful. Official cleanings tend to use powerful chemicals similar to bleach.
Why do they take so long to disappear?
Novichoks are stable chemicals that do not evaporate or decompose quickly. They could last for years and the hot, dry weather could have helped the agents to persist because of the lack of moisture in the air to neutralize them.
Why do we advise people to wash their clothes? [19659002] The water can destroy Novichoks – and the addition of heat speeds up this process. Detergents can cause the decomposition of agents. Wet wipes can also remove nerve agents from objects such as jewelry, but should be kept away from the skin and disposed of quickly.
