MOSCOW: Britain's Foreign Secretary has been publicly snubbed by his Russian counterpart, who told him it was ''absolutely unrealistic'' to expect Moscow to extradite the prime suspect in the murder of the Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko.

There are also about 250,000 Russians living in the south-east of England. But among that select group of people whose job is to get on with each other – British and Russian diplomats...
