Russian ambassador to the U.K. speaks to BBC reporter about Sarah Rainsford
The journalist joined the BBC Moscow Bureau in August 2000 and has been put on short-term visas until August 2021
During an interview with BBC’s Andrew Marr, the Russian ambassador to the U.K. spoke about the expulsion of BBC’s foreign correspondent, Sarah Rainsford from Moscow.
He emphasised that Rainsford will have her visa renewed if the treatment of Russian journalists within the U.K. improves.
Earlier in the year, the British Embassy denied discriminating against Russian journalists, saying they could “continue to work freely provided they act within the law and the regulatory framework”.
Sarah Rainsford’s Russian visa expired at the end of August, after living in the country for 20 years the Russian government refused to extend it, viewing her as a “security threat”.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.
President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.
The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.
With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
