The home of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal has been surrounded by police once again while it is undergoing major works to rid it of traces of poison.
A military team has moved in to dismantle and decontaminate the house in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
Mr Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were exposed to deadly Novichok in the city last year but survived the chemical attack, which Prime Minister Theresa May said had 'almost certainly' been approved by the Russian state.
Detectives believe the pair first came into contact with the poison when it was sprayed on the door handle of their property in March 2018.
The decontamination project is being led by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) but military teams will carry out the work, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said.

This will be the same team involved in the clean-up so far, from the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear unit, he added.
The clean-up has been taking place ever since they collapsed on March 5, but work paused over Christmas.
A letter written by Wiltshire Council said the would take place this month.

Dated January 4 and signed by the council's director of public of health, Tracy Daszkiewicz, the letter told residents that contractors would spend the first month erecting scaffolding to cover the house and garage with a 'sealed frame'.
A military team will then dismantle and remove the roofs on the two buildings over two weeks.
Everything will be wrapped and sealed before being removed from the site, and then the roofs will be replaced, Ms Daszkiewicz said.
The letter said: 'This phase includes the removal of the house roof and garage roof.
'All materials will be wrapped and sealed on site before being removed safely from the premises.'
