Russia’s Ambassador to Ireland Yuri Filatov speaking before Oireachtas FA Committee.

Says 'the eastern expansion of NATO' is 'the most pressing issue now facing Russia and Europe'

Says security situation on western borders of Russia 'is unacceptable and has to be dealt with' Filatov says that 1999 Charter for European Security outlines that each country is free to choose security alliances so long as this is not 'at the expense of security of others'

Boris Johnson is here at #PendulumSummit. He had a meet and greet with 'Diamond' ticketholders and has been kept away from media since. He's due speak about 'Opportunity in Uncertainty' about an hour.

Whose opportunity he's talking about remains to be seen. You'd know he's here though, you wouldn't normally see this dispalyed proudly around Dublin
