President Vladimir Putin of Russia is going to London to watch the judo at the Olympics and to meet Prime Minister David Cameron.

Executive director of the Russo-British Chambers of Commerce Stephen Dalziel discusses the relationship between the UK and Russia and whether the issue of Syria and human rights in Russia will be talked about.
