Russia: What happens next?


The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is in Moscow for talks with his Russian counterpart amid mounting tension over Syria. Steve Rosenberg, the BBC's Moscow Correspondent, is there. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson’s handling of the aftermath of the use of chemical weapons by President Assad has again raised questions about his competence. It comes after Johnson cancelled a trip to Moscow to meet his counterpart Sergei Lavrov. Alistair Burt was Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 2010 to 2013. The G7 failed to agree on a proposal by Britain for sanctions against Russia. So what other options are open to the UK authorities for standing up to Russia? The BBC's Sanchia Berg has gone on a tour of Russian oligarch hotspots with the campaign against money laundering and Ellie Nichol is deputy campaigns director at Global Witness.
