What really happened in Salisbury on the morning of March 4, 2018? With the actual forensic evidence still outstanding, will we ever know the full story? Also, a surprise image from the liberation of East Ghouta in Syria, and will Trump’s tariff war with China usher in the TTP and TTIP by fiat? All this and more…
UK Column anchor Mike Robinson and guest host Patrick Henningsen are joined by special Dmitry Orlov from St Petersburg for today’s news round-up. Watch:

Patrick Henningsen is a geopolitical analyst and has been to Syria in the last year. On a recent edition of the Global Research News Hour with host Michael Welch, he addresses the actual reasons for U.S. interest in the overthrow and undermining of President Assad.
