Mystery baffling investigators in the UK.

REPORTER: Four months to the day since the Salisbury incident

and another mysterious substance in Wiltshire.

Police in Wiltshire say two people are critically ill in hospital.

REPORTER 2: They're dealing with, what they're calling, a major incident,

REPORTER 3: The man and woman in their 405...

Just a few miles from where a former Russian spy and his daughter

were poisoned in March.

Perhaps it's some kind of contamination from the Skripals.

Is there some risk of exposure environmentally?

It is not yet clear if a crime has been committed.

REPORTER: They said nothing in their backgrounds would suggest

that they had been targeted.

NEWSREADER: Tests are being carried out at the government

at chemical weapons research laboratory...

REPORTER: A whole raft of new questions for the British authorities.

NEWSREADER ON TV: Char/[e Row/ey and Dawn Sturgess

both in their 405, were found unconscious

at a house in Amesbury in Wiltshire on Saturday.

They remain in a critical condition

after being exposed to the substance Nov/choir.

Now, Nick Dixon has this report.

REPORTER: Poi/ca have va/idated what many speculated.

Two more people have fallen--

Nick!

.. .letha/ nerve agent Novichok.

Nick!

OFFICER: ...can con?rm that the man and woman have been exposed

to the nerve agent��

It's... It's happened again.

What? - It's happened again!

that contaminated both Yu/ia and Sergei Skripai.

REPORTER: The couple named locally as Charlie Rowley and Dawn Sturgess��

What if it's my fault? - SARAH: What?

What if they've come into contact with something that I touched?

No, no, Nick, that's... ridiculous.

It could be a delayed reaction, couldn't it? � No.

I mean, it takes 50 years to degrade! - Dr Haslam said...

Dr Haslam said that's not right.

I want you and the kids to get tested again, - Dr Haslam told you... Nick!

I can't have you like this,

| just...

| just can't.

TV CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY

Sorry. Sorry for shouting.

You OK?

Go get ready for school, yeah?

Yeah.

REPORTER: This is very much a cautionary measure

of the sheltered housing Where Dawn Sturgess lived.

It is unnerving speaking to people here in Salisbury today

who are worried about the impact again on this city.

Sorry to disturb you but as you can see, the police are here!

INDISTINCT CHATTER - They've not come to arrest you

they have come to help you...

INDISTINCT CHATTER

For safety reasons, you have to evacuate the building. Please...

REPORTER: Questions are being asked about how this could have happened

just months after the mass...

REPORTER 2: Four of the people now, including the Skripals

who are in a critical condition... - CROWD CLAMOURS

...after a military-grade nerve agent in a Wiltshire town.

OFFICER: That's it.

OFFICER: Sorry, sir, restricted access,

Oh, Sarge.

Didn't realise you were...

Are you...

KEMP: So where are we with containment?

Charlie Rowley's flat has been sealed off along with everywhere else he went that day.

John Baker House, where Dawn lives, has been evacuated.

They were in Salisbury on Friday, the day before they became ill.

Where? - Queen Elizabeth Gardens.

We are moving to close it now

and we believe they then took a bus to Amesbury.

Soon as we identify it, we'll impound and test it.

Would anyone care to hazard a guess as to what's happened here?

Well, we always knew the attackers would have a container for the poison.

We just assumed they left with it, but what if they didn't?

Maybe Dawn or Charlie found it, picked it up...

So we're back to square one?

This isn't square one, Stephen, this is much, much worse.

First time around, we had something to work with.

This time, we have no idea what's happened or how.

Sergei Skripal was a Russian spy.

These are two ordinary people.

LOCK BUZZES

MINTY: Home, sweet home.

Just as you left it.

Boss wants to see us in five, OK?

You know there's no way any of us could have foreseen this?

Well... I'll be there in a minute.

I know, I'm just saying.

It's not your fault.

It's not anybody's fault. - I said I'll be there in a minute, Dave, OK?

l was reading about Dawn this morning

and I realised I've met her.

I ran an outreach seminar for people with alcohol problems.

SHE SIGHS She was having a hard time.

She was funny. She had a bit of life about her.

I liked her.

You'd like her too.

I'll see you upstairs.

Yeah.

Oh, she's a bit poorly, love.

But the doctors are gonna make her better.

REPORTER: where a couple on Saturday fell ill

CAROLINE SIGHS

...here behind me in the police cordon there

they're now critically ill in hospital in Salisbury

after being exposed to Novichok nerve agent.

Well, in the House of Commons, the home secretary Sajid Ja vid

has said he understands the concerns of the public.

SAJID JAVID: lrecognise that some local Wiltshire residents

will be feeling very anxious.

Let me reassure you that public safety is of paramount importance.

REPORTER: We will bring you the very latest this afternoon...

STAN: I let her down, our Dawn.

I let her down.

CAROLINE: No, you didn't.

STAN: l was relieved, you know?

When they told me she'd been poisoned.

What?

I thought she'd done it to herself.

And l was relieved

cos I wouldn't have to live with that for the rest of my life.

I couldn't save her from herself.

Thought all those months I kept her at arm's length, she goes and does this to herself.

How could I live with that?

So when they told me about the poison...

l was happy.

l... I was bloody happy.

Have you ever heard anything more selfish than that?

You didn't let her down, Stan.

You were always there for her, she knew it.

She knew it.

How could this happen to our little girl?

Do you remember when she was 15 and she ran away to Cornwall

and you had to go pick her up from the Traveller's camp?

They were the ones who wanted rid of her.

Then when she was 17, she got knocked down by an ambulance.

They were treating her on the side of the road

she looked up and she said...

"I don't know whether I'm really unlucky or really lucky."

THEY CHUCKLE

Yeah, I remember.

When you think about it, Stan...

this could've only happened to our Dawn.

THEY LAUGH

REPORTER: Wiltshire Police initially thought that the couple had taken

contaminated crack cocaine or heroin...

REPORTER 2: it was initially thought they'd fallen ill after using heroin

or crack cocaine from a contaminated batch of drugs

but further tests are now needed,

Police say it's not yet clear if a crime '5 been committed.

REPORTER 3: The couple may have touched a contaminated object from the Skripal attack

like a discarded cigarette end, or a syringe containing Novichok.

The couple may also have found a container in which the original substance was mixed.

REPORTER 3: The fact that the police still haven't found a container

with the lethal chemical weapon inside it is a cause for concern.

The public are repeatedly told that the risk to them is low

but without the evidence

that is hard to justify.

SIRENS WAIL

OFFICER: Can everyone get off the vehicle, please?

CROWD CHATTERS

ALISTAIR: A month ago, I mean, I stood in the middle of this city

declared it safe and open for business.

Well, we all thought it was.

What do we say to them now?

You said that this city was safe outside the cordons.

Now what do you say? � CROWD CLAMOURS

My son is ten, he won't go to school.

He's having panic attacks about this.

What am I supposed to tell him?

Who missed this? � CROWD CLAMOURS

How did you miss it?

How do we know it's not gonna happen again today or tomorrow

or next week? � CROWD CLAMOURS

If I may, erm...

You're right, we didn't see this coming.

And we still don't know exactly how it happened.

Is that all you have to say?

Until we work out exactly what happened here, yeah, I'm afraid it is.

That's all we have to say. - CROWD JEERS

We are testing every single object found at all six sites

and we'll have answers soon.

CROWD CLAMOURS

STAN: What?

What the hell is this?

What they saying about her?

CAROLINE: Stan, don't read it.

"Homeless addict"?

That's not Dawn...

MAN: Any more teas or coffees?

We're fine.

I hardly slept all night.

Me too.

I don't know why we're here.

We should be with her.

They told us...

We have to go back.

Whatever happens...

we have to be with her.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

Tim. How's it going?

Slowly.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Look...

Uh, this isn't out yet, but...

Last night, we tested a perfume bottle.

It was full of Novichok.

Dawn must have sprayed it on herself.

I mean, even now, what's left in the container

could kill thousands of people.

What, the contamination radius could be worse than the last time?

So we have no idea where they got hold of it a�a�and who gave it to them?

You wanted to see me?

I heard about the town hall, Tracy.

You were right to request more information.

So, these are the chief suspects

in the criminal investigation being run by CT.

Their movements before and after their attack on the Skripals.

It does not leave this room.

OK.

They flew to Gatwick from Moscow on Friday 2nd March

then went to a hotel in East London

where according to other residents, they spent the night with a prostitute

and a bag of marijuana.

Next day, 3rd of March, they caught a train to Salisbury for a recce

and left and went back again the day after.

The day of the attack.

And does it look like they threw any kind of container away?

There's no evidence of them discarding anything, but...

they were out of CCTV range for long periods, so they could well have done.

You've got ten minutes.

Thanks for this, Paul.

NEWSREADER: The home secretary has pointed the finger at Russia.

SAJID JAVID: it is completely unacceptable for our people

to be either deliberate or accidental targets

or for our streets, our parks, our towns to be dumping grounds for poison.

WOMAN: it's very sad cos i think it's probably put Salisbury back again.

/ hope not, because we were just beginning to...

MAN: One disaster's bad enough and now we thought we�d moved out of it

and it seems to be happening again.

WOMAN: Salisbury is always a quiet place, you know, it�s nice to live in.

So it's a bit worrying, what's going on...

MONITORS BEEP

I don't know why we're so bloody quiet. She hated that.

Can I talk to you all in the family room?

Yeah.

TIM: We should be able to declare the flat in Amesbury safe in less than ten days.

However, as you would expect, this is the biggest concentration of Novichok

we've ever encountered

and yet we still haven't managed to find any in any of the other sites

that Dawn or Charlie visited.

MILLS: Stephen.

KEMP: Well, that's good news they haven't found it anywhere else.

It means this time it wasn't spread, so I suggest we reassure the public

by countering the conspiracy theories and get the facts out there.

SHE SCOFFS

I'm sorry, is there a problem?

The facts?

I still know next to nothing about what really happened here, Stephen.

You want to tell the public the city's safe when all I know for sure is that

an innocent man and woman are fighting for their lives in hospital

and there still could be something else out there.

You saved the other ones. You saved them.

Why can you not save Dawn? � Mum...

Dawn has a bleed on the brain. It's inoperable.

She can't recover from it.

I'm so, so sorry.

NEWSREADER: Hospital staff in Salisbury said they did all they could

to save the life of Dawn Sturgess, a 44�year�old mother of three

who came into contact with the highly toxic Novichok nerve agent just over a week ago.

She died late last night after being on life support.

The death of Dawn Sturgess, a British citizen on British soil

now changes the investigation to a murder inquiry

with all the diplomatic and security rami?cations that carries.
