By Andrew Osborn MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia has told a BBC journalist working in Moscow to leave the country by the end of this month in retaliation for what it called London s discrimination against Russian journalists working in Britain, state TV reported late on Thursday. In an unusual move that signals a further deterioration in already poor ties between London and Moscow, the Rossiya-24 TV channel said that Sarah Rainsford, one of the British broadcaster s two English-language Moscow correspondents, would be going home in what it called a landmark deportation . The step, a de facto expulsion, follows a crackdown before parliamentary elections in September on Russian-language media at home that the authorities judge to be backed by malign foreign interests intent on stoking unrest. Being expelled from Russia, a country I ve lived in for almost 1/3 of my life - and reported for years - is devastating. Thank you for all your kind messages of support, Rainsford wrote on Twitter.
