Russian diplomats and their families are preparing to leave the UK after being expelled over the Salisbury spy attack. The UK expelled 23 diplomats after Prime Minister Theresa May said Russia was culpable for the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
Later today, the government will decide whether to impose further sanctions on Russia. Mrs May is chairing a meeting of the National Security Council.
Moscow has denied all involvement and is expelling 23 British diplomats in response. The UK diplomats have until Saturday to leave Russia.
