Britain-Russia: Rift grows

Britain yesterday accused Russia of staining its international-reputation by using "blatant intimidation" against staff of the British Council.
In unusually blunt terms, David-Miliband, UK foreign secretary, said Moscow's "reprehensible" tactics against the British cultural body were reminiscent of the cold-war".
He spoke of "anger and dismay" at actions he said were directly linked to the bitter dispute over the 2006 murder of Alexander-Litvinenko, the former KGB officer.
