The first of two planes carrying Russian diplomats expelled by the US have arrived at Moscow's Vnukovo International Airport. The plane had on board 46 Russian diplomats and their family members. The second plane is expected to arrive in Moscow later on Sunday. In total, 60 Russian diplomats were scheduled to leave the US. Washington has shut down its consulate in St. Petersburg as part of the latest moves in the poisoning of a former Russian spy in England. Russia and some two dozen Western nations have expelled more than 150 of each other's diplomats.
