2:02 am
ising, the murder of daria de geena, the daughter of one of present, vitamin putins, or lies the 29 year old was killed by a suspected explosive device as she was driving near moscow on saturday. her father, alexander dugeon, was travelling in a car behind her. both have been vocal supporters of russia's invasion of ukraine. and again, his death has fogged an outpouring of grief with people gathering. at this makeshift memorial in moscow, prison putin has said the attack was evil. and her father has really so written statement is saying a victory in ukraine is the only way to avenge her killing. now russia claims the attack was carried out by a ukrainian woman in her forties who had been planning it since july. russian media has linked her to the as of battalion, a unit of ukraine's army that russia has designated a terrorist school, but they have denied involvement with no, i don't know her personally, this woman. secondly, the documents they showed belong to
2:03 am
a person serving in the household battalion. this is obvious because of the uniform . she's wary and her military id. this woman does not serve in the us of petroleum . all i speak to nigel gold davis about this is a senior fellow for russia and eurasia at the international institute for strategic studies. thank you very much for joining us on, on to 0. now to many people, it's not surprising that russia has blamed ukraine for our this killing. but by doing this, this is moscow and, and the f. s. b o to admitting to an intelligence failure. what are your thoughts about this scenario they've put forward and how quickly the, the case has been resolved? yes, so as you say, on the one hand, it is sir, if, if their version is to be believed, then it represents the massive intelligence failure. it's not a small matter of cassandra below not been around moscow, but secondly, and equally implausible. it seems to me they claim to have solved the case with
2:04 am
unprecedented speed. it typically takes months or even years, or often never for a political murders to be sold. and yet the efforts be the rush of security. so as claims have done as a matter of hours. and i think everyone looking the kind of details they're providing her, you've come to the conclusion, there's nothing credible about the story that they have put together. it almost seems, in a bizarre way designed to be disbelieved the ideal to a woman. and for 12 year old daughter drove into russia in a mini cooper and then fled the scene. or having carried out this bowman or none of it seems to add up. and yet of course, it's very worrying. now the russia is claiming that ukraine is behind it. and the next question is, what all follow from that? yeah, i was going to ask you about that because of course, a reaction among programming commentators was immediate. lots of outrage. he thing
2:05 am
this killing will be used by the russian government to ramp up. public outrage were then russia for a set and justify perhaps even more the price of actions on the part of the sate. it does seem at least possible, this has been fabricated. let's go full flag, attack your coward out, but robin's them. so in order to serve precisely that purpose, to wake up outrage, and also to justify some dangerous and potentially radical escalation of this so far on the successful war that equation against ukraine. the other thing to look at here is that the rougher is now starting to put the spotlight on it. stonier those, well, they have a big claim that the person who supposedly carried this out lead to sonya. they are demanding stillia handover. this, this person,
2:06 am
the students are saying at this point they have not received an official, a request for expedition call. but of course, it is a need to, and you members, state, not long being concerned, the russian might cry to escalate this crisis. provoke a crisis of the need to itself, so we have to watch what russian out those to estonia is, let us to ukraine. right. and the question being now of whether and how moscow will retaliate. yes. so i would rather is already playing with fire in, in conducting some very irresponsible and dangerous operations around those up patricia nuclear power plant. this is the largest nuclear facility in europe. so, i mean that's, that's one thing to look at. another is the, the possibility that russia could radically escalated, use of air power,
2:07 am
or even more indiscriminately, or even larger scale than it's done so far. i think it's been very disconcerting in recent days, by the way, is that ukraine has innovated in its approach and particularly or day shows attacks that ukraine has carried out or in crimea. so again, all this looks like a pretext for russia to apply, or some even larger scale indiscriminate force that could lead to very, very frightening consequences. indeed, thank you very much for talking to us and sharing of use. nigel gl davis from the trash and sewer for strategic studies in washington. thank you for your time in london. sorry. now. meanwhile, in keith, the ukrainian capital authorities have banned independence day events this week, present vote amused lensky has warned. russia could launch attacks in the lead up to the celebrations wednesday,

2:09 am
among other things. and this is happening on the latest incident. how we're russia security services accusing ukraine of being behind the killing of daddy geena. she's the daughter of a cloth advice or to bloody me, to putting she was killed in a car bombed a few days ago in, in moscow, and russia accusing ukraine. we have not heard from ukraine yet, but suddenly this race is the alarm here. another thing that has been wasting the alarms are that reports by intelligence community that russia has been amassing miss aw than other types of weapons in bilateral in other world news, kenya is veteran opposition need a ride? dinner has petition to the supreme court to challenge the results of this month's presidential election or dingo is narrowly defeated in the vote and says the results of flawed can. his electoral commission declared his rival, william wrote the winter with 50.5 percent of the vote. but 4 of the 7

2:19 am
get ahead of it before the massive outbreak, given the communities, fortitude and their resilience. and also learning from the mistakes of cove it and there is a vaccine. the cdc says it should be administered in 2 doses 20 days apart. but there's not nearly enough of it. destination critics like these are now popping up across the country for critics say the by the ministration was very slow and more important, leaving hundreds of thousands of doses of the vaccine that the us already own in europe. so now officials are trying to stretch the vaccine by administering it in a different way. they're hoping to get 5 doses out of one vile. but there could be a problem with that. it's totally unclear that anything i've read on the science, if the degree of protection is identical to what the original proposal is or restriction,
2:20 am
which is to get to full dose is not goldstraw says he was turned away from getting his 2nd shot. he believes it's a problem of supply. the d. c. health department blames the biden administration. what we end up getting is 12000 doses. had we got 12000 files and vaccine that would have been some 60000 doses that we would have had. the monkey pox virus has spread quickly in the united states. the 1st case was reported in may. the cdc says there are now more than $14000.00 confirmed cases. the binding ministration says they are working to secure millions more vaccine doses, but helped extra say that creates other issues really need to be partnering with our global ah ha, monitors and colleagues around the world to make sure the vaccines aren't just made available to high income countries like you asked in and europe, but also that, you know, it's just, it's pretty alarming and disgusting that now there are still no vaccines made available on the continent of africa. the maker of the vaccine says it will take months to expand its production capabilities. but experts say the window to contain
2:21 am
a broader outbreak could already be closing, paddle haine, l 0 washington. while before this he is outbreak, monkey pox was rarely found outside central and west africa. the virus is related to smallpox. the 1st human case was recorded in central africa in 1970. in may, this year the disease spread to the u. k. u. s. and europe. they've now been more than $35000.00 cases, reports around the world. in july, the world health organization declared the outbreak of public health emergency of international concern. joining us now on al jazeera, alive from washington, d. c, is lauren's ghost in his a professor of medicine and founding o'neill, chair in global health law at georgetown university. thank you very much for being with us. there's been a lot of criticism as we heard in patty's report about the u. s. government's response to this monkey box outbreak. one would have thought that the lessons from
2:22 am
the cone of ours crisis would have been learned. why do you think and how does us find itself in this situation today? what would have been the mistakes? yes, it's a coven 19. was the, the most complex, hardest case of public health has faced monkey park should have been dealt with very quickly. was the easiest case. we already had vaccines. we already had treatments. we had tests, and yet it was a comedy of errors at the beginning of the month box response in the united states . and we repeated the same mistakes. it seemed that we didn't recovered a false faulty tests and cumbersome, long waits for test times. and to few tests, treatments that were scarce and very difficult to obtain. and of course,
2:23 am
vaccines which should have been in an ample supply, ended up being scarce and help communication messages were very poor. so the beginning of the response was, was really upsetting, particularly since we had gone through so much were covered in one would have hoped that we'd learn those lessons. yeah. just challenge, just how challenging has it been to to communicate the risk, some of monkey pox to the general public? well, it shouldn't have been that difficult because we've had, we've had diseases that began in communities of men who have sex with men with the aids epidemic. and we had to, at the beginning of the aids epidemic, we had to tailor our messages to the gay community while also informing the
2:24 am
wider public. we should have been doing the same thing here with monkey pox. but it turns out that the, that the, the wider public was placed in a panic perhaps unnecessarily. and the gay community wasn't given the frank, honest and health messages that it needed and deserved. and so we're, we're, we're where we are now, and the by did ministration is trying to have a big pivot on the declare monkey pox, a public health emergency in the u. s. just like to just stay with w h o globally. and we've got, we've ordered more vaccines. this is a, what's the best way to think now to, to slow the spread vaccines? well, i think it's a combination. i think, you know, we need to get much more vaccination. we need to do much better with our testing and contact tracing. and we need to know inform gay men, frankly,
2:25 am
and honestly about their risks and also to mobilize the gay community to rise up and take care of each other, which it did with the aids pandemic. getting the good news is, is that gay men have extraordinarily good networks, highly informed, and have been shown to be able to deal with these kinds of epidemics in their community. but they need the tools to do it. and particularly testing treatment and vaccines. profess lawrence cost in thank you so much for talking to us about this. thank you for having me. f one we us present. donald trump is moving to temporarily block the investigation into the materials seized by f. b. i. agents from his florida home 2 weeks ago. trump's lawyers have asked a federal court to hold the examination of the document until a neutral official known under us law as
