When back in March, Steve Bannon embarked on his tour to unite Europe’s populist parties, he gave his first public address in Zurich.

Switzerland is where the anti-globalist fightback began, he told his audience, when its people said no to joining the European Community in a referendum in 1992.

Now it may retreat further still, as the Swiss prepare to scrap international treaties in favour of national laws.

Gabriel Gatehouse has the story of populism vs globalism, an epic battle for our age.

President Putin has always insisted that the two men wanted in the UK for the attempted murder of Sergei Skripal, were just ordinary civilians on holiday. Yet according to Russian investigative journalist 'Bellingcat', one of the suspects is not a fitness instructor he claimed to be, but Colonel Anatoliy Chepiga -- a highly decorated Russian Military Intelligence Officer.

We speak to 'Bellingcat' - one of the anonymous journalists behind the investigation - to find out how this information was revealed and how close they are close to finding the real identity of the second suspect.

This came after pressure from other panellists and celebrity voices - including the actor Jim Carey - who threatened to pull out.

Bannon has befriended populist far-right governments emerging across Europe, though that didn't stop the editor of the Economist tonight defending its decision to host Bannon at a similar event, despite protest.

So should we salute organisations for standing up to what they believe, or call them 'gutless' for trying to silence a debate that should be had?
