Russia hasn't been 'paying its dues'published at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2018

Labour's Chris Bryant asks about concerns that Russia may pull out of the Council of Europe.
Mr Hunt says that Russia hasn't been "paying its dues" as part of the Council. Russia seems to want to destabilise the national order, he adds, and the country seems to be unwilling to come back to the international order.
He adds that the response to the Salisbury poisoning was one of the "great successes" of British diplomacy this year.
Mr Bryant says that Russia is destabilising the European Union, and the British government refuses to investigate Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.
Mr Hunt says that Russia is not winning "hands down," and there has been a redrawing of a red line on use of chemical weapons by Russia, he says.
