Darya Shipilova, 28, was exposed to pneumonic plague after breaking a test tube, resulting in hundreds of people being placed into quarantine. Dr Chris Smith, consultant virologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, told LBC that the facility “may well have been weaponising this particular form of the plague.” “It may have been doing it for nefarious reasons", he told LBC’s Breakfast with Nick Ferrari. He added that while the plague is not currently present in the UK, the disease has not disappeared completely, with around 1,000 cases reported worldwide each year. Andrew Marr speaks to Professor Philip Davies Director of the Brunel Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies to get the facts. 00:00 | Donald Trump's statement on the matter 00:52 | The WHOs statement on the matter 01:50 | Andrew speaks to Professor Philip Davies #andrewmarr #plague #russia #pandemic #outbreak #who #disease #worldnews #lbc
