hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the daughter of one of president putin's close allies, aleksandr dugin, has been killed in a bomb attack. russian media says darya dugina died after her car exploded near moscow. there's been no comment from the authorities there. it's thought that her father — who's often called "putin's brain" — could have been the intended target of the attack. the pair were reportedly set to travel back from an event in the same car. aleksandr dugin is a prominent ultra—nationalist philosopher and strategist. mr dugin was interviewed by the bbc�*s gabriel gatehouse in 2016. he had this to say about his philosophy. truth is the question of belief and postmodernity shows that every so called truth

is the matter of believing. so we believe in what we do, we believe in what we say, and that is the only way to define the truth. so we have our special russian truths that you need to accept as something that maybe is not your truth... even if it's not true? but if the truth is relative, that doesn't mean that truth doesn't exist. for more we can join eastern european political analyst sergej sumlenny in berlin. good to see you. what more do we know about the dugin family? thank ou for know about the dugin family? thank you for inviting _ know about the dugin family? thank you for inviting me. _ know about the dugin family? thank you for inviting me. first _ know about the dugin family? thank you for inviting me. first i _ know about the dugin family? thank you for inviting me. first i don't - you for inviting me. first i don't believe it's the correct way to

is behind this ideology that dugin's family promote, it's about destroying the central european countries and divide the world between moscow and berlin. it's about forging the alliance of so—called eurasian nations from the far east of the west. it's about denying every democracy, every free speech, free thinking, claiming they are all spiritual values that deny every democracy, freedom of choice, that are promoted inside this so—called eurasian. if you want it is the development of geopolitics and that is what dugin was doing. and he stays behind the war in

addition to this particular disruption, the wider context, china for example, the products coming in from china, there is huge global supply chain challenges there with the adverse weather recently. there is a commodity, energy issues and so there are these issues happening. this disruption itself, in terms of particular products, i think one key thing we have to be mindful of is it is a plant so there would be one hopes some contingency in place, but we also have to look at the timing of this as well. we would say this is a critical time in terms of the seasonal goods that would be coming into the uk. halloween, black friday, and even looking as early as stuff coming in for christmas as well. on the flip side, people have also got to factor in the fact that
12:13 pm
although the goods coming in might be fridges and laptops, there might be fridges and laptops, there might be a lot of frozen foods and goods passing through so there will be disruptions. it is limited, it's only eight days as they say, disruptions. it is limited, it's only eight this as they say, disruptions. it is limited, it's only eight this might y say, disruptions. it is limited, it's only eight this might mean they have prolonging this might mean they have to divert the infrastructure, the infrastructure might not be able to cope. to put that into context, very recently the port was not able to meet the demands so a lot was diverted to different parts of europe and then containers loaded in rotterdam and passed through smaller ports in the uk but that means delays and consumers have to bear the brunt of that. dr delays and consumers have to bear the brunt of that.— the brunt of that. dr kamran mahroof. — the brunt of that. dr kamran mahroof, many _ the brunt of that. dr kamran mahroof, many thanks - the brunt of that. dr kamran mahroof, many thanks for i the brunt of that. dr kamran i mahroof, many thanks for your the brunt of that. dr kamran - mahroof, many thanks for your time.

thank you. somalia's police commissioner says the security forces rescued 100 the security forces rescued 106 people from the hotel attacked by islamist militants on friday in the capital, mogadishu. the health minister said 21 people were killed during the siege. doctors at mogadishu's main hospital say they are treating more than 40 wounded. this al shabaab militants stormed the building on friday — as emily brown reports. gunfire. the crackle of gunshots penetrating the mogadishu air. a crumbling hayat hotel in the somali capital under attack after it was stormed by an islamist militant group on friday night. al—shabab attackers detonated at least two bombs outside the hotel before making their way in. the deadly siege lasted for 30 hours. the hotel is known for being popular with journalists and politicians. gunmen held hostages inside. some
12:15 pm
were rescued. many needing hospital treatment. al—shabab is the main islamist militant group in somalia. it's engaged in a long—running conflict with the federal government. some believe this deadly assault is a reaction to the government's recent comments saying they will intensify their response to the armed militant group. unfortunately we have had several years of really bad governance in somalia, which has, like in afghanistan, really weakened the somali forces further, often aligning them with particular plans and particular politicians. so it has long been feared as we have waited for this delayed and delayed government finally to to succeed this may, that this was strengthening al—sha bab. security forces claim the gunmen have now been killed, and the siege has ended.
12:16 pm
but this hasn't yet been verified. and whilst this battle may be over, many are anxiously waiting to hear news about their loved ones who were trapped inside during this deadly attack. emily brown, bbc news. the bbc�*s emmanuel igunza is in neighbouring kenya. he has more on what is happening on the ground. really grim pictures coming out of the hayat hotel in mogadishu. what we know so far is the police are trying to comb through this hotel. there are explosives there which were left by the al—shabab militants, so it's a tedious process. the police commissioner is currently giving a press conference at the site, giving further details. we do know dozens of people were killed. the initial number was given as 12 but we expect that number to be much higher. there were dozens of people
12:17 pm
who were trapped inside the hotel, many of them are still not accounted for, so it remains quite a fluid situation and the area remains a sensitive area because of the explosives which were left by the militants. and we are of course following that fluid situation. we know al—shabab fighters have attacked several other targets in recent weeks. for those not to familiar, who are al—shabab? what do we know about this group? they are allied to the al-qaeda group and they have been carrying out attacks inside somalia and across eastern whole of africa. they are believed to be the strongest militant group allied to the al-qaeda group. they control much of central and southern somalia. they have carried out attacks even recentlyjust along the border with somalia and ethiopia. this government initiative, i would say this is one
12:18 pm
of the new president's top priorities, dealing with this militant group, but now this attack shows the strength and capabilities of al—shabab group, that it will take quite a lot to deal with it because this insurgency has been going on for the last 15 years and that is why perhaps the president has asked the international community for support in dealing with it. not just within somalia territory but within the eastern whole of africa. on that strength and capability, where does this leave the security in somalia? it is still very much problematic. somalia has not been stable for several decades now. the last regime was seen as not really capable of dealing with the al—shabab problem. and also within the wider region, al—shabab has carried out attacks in kenya, low—level, high level. we have seen several hundreds of people being attacked.
12:19 pm
so the capabilities of al—shabab are quite immense and therefore it will take quite a lot to deal with them. the bbc�*s emmanuel igunza. households struggling with the rising cost of living in the uk will receive some help this winter, according to the business secretary. kwasi kwarteng claimed the treasury was working on options for the new prime minister, but has not yet stated how they plan to help. earlier our political correspondent helen catt gave us more details. i think what this is really is a bit of an exercise in reassurance, making sure that people know that there is help coming down the track. this week the new energy price cap in the uk will be announced, it is expected to be a lot higher, which means bills are going to go up a lot, so this is about reassuring people ahead of that. so kwasi kwarteng says that there is work happening across government to look at different options for help, and i've spoken to a treasury source this week who told me that nothing
12:20 pm
really was off the table. all options are being looked at. and the idea is that they are doing all the sort of background work so that they can present that to whoever is the new prime minister on september the 6th, whether it's liz truss or rishi sunak, and that means they will be able to implement whatever that prime minister decides very quickly. so some of the criticism that has been levelled at liz truss is that we don't really know what it is that she plans to do beyond cutting tax and removing some green levies. kwasi kwarteng addresses that in this. he is a key ally of liz truss. he is tipped to potentially be the next chancellor. he says it is entirely reasonable that she doesn't set out the specifics until she has got all the information to hand. so the other thing you might be thinking is the uk does have a government even though this contest is going on at the moment, and why isn't the existing government just cracking on and doing things? the answer to that is that it has promised that it will not make any big spending commitments or policy commitments before the new prime minister is in place.

12:25 pm
usyk had beatenjoshua to claim the belts, but volunteered as a soldier following russia's invasion of ukraine in february, although the ukrainian authorities advised him to return to the ring to highlight the country's plight. here's our reporter injeddah, ade adedoyin. it really was a dramatic night and the fight fell into a similar pattern as the first one. usyk was very elusive, hard to pin down. he was landing the volume of punches, thouthoshua had his moments, landing some hard crunching shots to the body and to the head, but he was just never able to pin the ukrainian down. the fight really came alive in the ninth round whenjoshua had him hurt. it looked like he was on the verge of stopping him. but usyk showed a champion's heart to weather the storm and then rally in the next round and then almost had joshua out in that tenth round. it was a brilliant performance by the ukrainian, and he showed real class and why he's been undefeated in the last 13 years. as for anthonyjoshua, a little out of character afterwards, it was very, very emotional. he picked up the belts, threw them out the ring and then
12:26 pm
stormed out before being called back into the ring by his entourage. he gave a speech praising 0leksandr usyk for a brilliant performance. wherejoshua goes now remains to be seen. as for 0leksandr usyk, he said in the ring behind me that he would love the opportunity to fight tyson fury, the wbc champion, and that will be a blockbuster affair. tyson fury, undefeated. he said recently that he will retire from boxing. but with the prospect of facing 0leksandr usyk in a huge unification bout, there's every possibility that he comes back. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. some of us are getting to see some sunshine today, but the best of that during the afternoon is likely to be found across the northern half of the uk. furthersouth, more in the way of cloud. and whether you find yourself in a cloudy zone or a sunnier zone, there is the potentialfor some showers at times. now, this is the earliest satellite image. it shows cloud rolling its way in from the west.
12:27 pm
that's becoming more extensive, especially across the southern half of the uk. further north, a better chance of holding onto some sunshine. a mostly sunny afternoon for a good part of northern england. northern ireland seeing sunshine and just the odd shower. sunny spells and showers across scotland, the showers most frequent out towards the west. but generally more cloud rolling its way in across southern england, wales into parts of the midlands, bringing some splashes of rain at times, and it will turn quite murky for some western coasts. not as windy as it was yesterday, still quite breezy, particularly up towards the north. temperatures of 18 degrees in glasgow, 25 in norwich. through this evening and tonight, this area of cloud will tend to expand and become more widespread. some mist and murk for some of these western coasts and some outbreaks of rain becoming actually quite heavy in parts of the west by the end of the night. really quite warm and muggy for some of these southern coasts. 16 in plymouth overnight, 9 in newcastle, cooler and fresher further north and east.
12:28 pm
so, into monday, this frontal system working its way eastwards will generate some outbreaks of potentially heavy rain at times. the north—east of scotland should start off with some sunshine and should hold onto some sunshine through the day. it may be that things brighten up a little bit down towards the south—west during the afternoon, but inbetween we will see this zone of wet weather, some quite heavy bursts in places, moving eastwards through the day. temperatures between 17 and 23 degrees. but those temperatures are set to climb as we head towards the middle of the week, particularly in the south. tuesday bringing some spells of sunshine, also some areas of cloud and some showers here and there, but more of a south—westerly wind. so, that will bring a warmer feel to the weather, particularly in eastern england, where highs will reach around 27 degrees. but even further north and west, aberdeen, glasgow at 20. belfast seeing a high of 21 degrees. it stays pretty warm in the south as we go into wednesday. a lot of dry weather to come through this week, but equally there will be some outbreaks of rain at times.
