amid a mounting military threat from north korea, the bbc gains rare access to the american and south korean joint operations centre designed to fend off any attack. the daughter of a prominent russian ultra—nationalist has been killed by a car bomb on the outskirts of moscow. darya dugina was a journalist and vocal supporter of the invasion of ukraine. there is speculation that the target of the attack might have been herfather,

aleksandr dugin, an idealogical ally of president putin. russian investigators say the attack was preplanned and commissioned. will vernon reports from moscow. a fireball on the streets of moscow. 30—year—old darya dugina, a political commentator, was killed when a bomb exploded in the car she was driving. at the scene, her father, alexsandr dugin, an ultra nationalist philosopher. russian media said mr dugin was meant to travel in the car with his daughter, but changed his mind at the last minute, and there is speculation he was the intended target. darya dugina, like herfather, was a vocal supporter of russia's invasion of ukraine. she was a regular guest on russian television, calling the war a clash of civilisations. both she and her father have been sanctioned by the west. some analysts say president putin is close to alexsandr dugin, although the nature of their relationship is unclear. but mr dugin�*s radical nationalism has helped shape

the kremlin�*s foreign policy, including on ukraine. his political movement, eurasianism, sees russia as the centre of a new empire that will challenge the west. back in 2016, mr dugin spoke to the bbc�*s gabriel gatehouse about his views. so we have our special russian truth 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. the authorities have not yet said who was behind the attack. but russia's foreign ministry said if a link to ukraine were found, the attack would be state terror by the kyiv regime. an adviser to the ukrainian president denied his country was involved. car bombs and assassinations are rare in moscow. but as the war in ukraine grinds on,

instability at home will be a cause for concern in the kremlin. will vernon, bbc news, moscow. our russia correspondent anastasia golubeva spoke to us about different theories on who could have been behind the assasination... the main belief right now is that it was an attempt at killing aleksandr dugin himself, not the daughter. it was an improvised explosive device that went off, on the bottom of her car. russian law enforcement said that the murder was a contract killing, but there is no official version on who is behind the death, yet. there are already some speculations, the authorities of the self—proclaimed donetsk republic say that they blamed the explosion on terrorists of the ukrainian regime, i quote there.

saying that, ukrainian authorities have already denied any involvement with this accident. the leaders of the us, france, germany and the uk have had a �*joint call�* during which they reiterated their commitment to ukraine, in the face of russia's invasion. they also spoke about the importance of making sure the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was safe and secure. and welcomed recent talks to allow inspectors from the un come and visit the plant. emergency workers in central iraq have mounted a rescue operation after a shia shrine there collapsed. an earth mound adjacent to the shrine — in the city of karbala — gave way after being saturated by moisture. the landslide hit the ceiling of the shrine, which then collapsed onto visitors. emergency workers say they have so far managed to rescue three children.

local reports say at least four bodies have been pulled from the rubble. our middle east editor sebastian usher — has been following events — and he told me more about the situation at the shrine. this is an operation, a rescue operation that has been going on since yesterday, right through the night. it is a difficult operation, if you see pictures of where this mosque, where the shrine is, it is surrounded by mud cliffs, so it is in a very precipitous area in any case. the emergency workers of having to do much of the work by hand. they have been bringing out rubble in huge bags, to try to get through to anybody who might be trapped there. a train was brought in, but they found it difficult to use it as they do not want to cause any further instability in the surroundings. families have been waiting to hear about evil who they believe might be missing, and

unfortunately, it is a tragedy, but fortunately they do not seem to be a large number of worshippers at the far end of the mosque where the landfill happened, much of the mosque is still intact. it landfill happened, much of the mosque is still intact. it sounds a very delicate _ mosque is still intact. it sounds a very delicate rescue _ mosque is still intact. it sounds a very delicate rescue operation. i very delicate rescue operation. exactly, that is how it has been. the rescue workers have said they have been able to be in contact with some of those who have been trapped, they are able to get food and water and oxygen to them. there have been pictures of several young children who have been brought out, and there are reports i havejust seen who have been brought out, and there are reports i have just seen that six people have been brought out alive, and it stays, as you say, for people who have died and whose bodies have been pulled out. the expectations are that there are only two or three more people who are still there, and the prognosis for that, rescue workers say, unfortunately, is not very good.

singapore's prime minister has said the country will end its ban on sex between men, but will take steps to defend the institution of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. lee hsein loong said sinaporean society was becoming more accepting of gay people and the british colonial—era law was out of date. the legal ban on sex between men, while not enforced, has long been criticised by lgbt activists although many more conservative citizens still support it. i'm joined now tea braun who is the chief executive of the human dignity trust — a london—based organisation that uses the law to defend the human rights of lgbt people globally. thank you very much indeed for joining us. this law has not been enforced in singapore for decades, and it was appealed as recently as february, and that appeal was not upheld. why now? why have we seen

this ban overturned? i upheld. why now? why have we seen this ban overturned?— this ban overturned? i think what we are seeinu this ban overturned? i think what we are seeing is — this ban overturned? i think what we are seeing is the _ this ban overturned? i think what we are seeing is the culmination - this ban overturned? i think what we are seeing is the culmination of- are seeing is the culmination of many years of work, discussion and advocacy, including legal advocacy. this law in particular has been on the book since 1938. you are correct, it has not been enforced for a private consensual conduct for some time, but it did continue to signal that lgbt citizens, or bisexual or gay men who were having sex with men were apprehended criminals. it is a deeply stigmatising the law, and there have been some quite concerted advocacy going on for at least a decade, including through the courts. although the final court decision in february of this year was not to overturn the law, but to uphold a ban on prosecutions of it, to

formalise that band. this is the final step in what has been many years of advocacy. that final step in what has been many years of advocacy.— final step in what has been many years of advocacy. that gay marriage remains off-limits, _ years of advocacy. that gay marriage remains off-limits, and _ years of advocacy. that gay marriage remains off-limits, and it _ years of advocacy. that gay marriage remains off-limits, and it seems - remains off—limits, and it seems likely to remain that way for quite some time?— some time? although today's announcement _ some time? although today's announcement is _ some time? although today's announcement is a _ some time? although today's announcement is a huge - some time? although today's i announcement is a huge victory, some time? although today's - announcement is a huge victory, and is very much to be celebrated, and it is to be applauded by the government, that does mean that lgbt citizens are still not equal citizens. there is still a long way to go. i don't think that overshadows the momentous announcement of today, which as i said has been a long time in the making, and even decades after the lgbt community t has been living under this law, it is still a huge victory. under this law, it is still a huge victo . , �* , ., , victory. lgbt events have been takin: victory. lgbt events have been taking place — victory. lgbt events have been taking place and _ victory. lgbt events have been taking place and is _ victory. lgbt events have been taking place and is four - victory. lgbt events have been taking place and is four for - victory. lgbt events have been | taking place and is four for over victory. lgbt events have been l taking place and is four for over a decade, so why is it taking so long for this to happen? i

time, and social attitudes in singapore have softened as a result, but attitudes are softening and the government saw that the time was right, the time is now to recognise that these laws have to go, they are discriminatory, the archaic, and they do not serve society. thank you for “oininu they do not serve society. thank you forjoining us- _ dockers at britain's largest container port, felixstowe, have gone on strike for the first time in three decades. half of britain's container trade goes through the port in suffolk. almost 2,000 workers are taking part in the eight—day action, after rejecting a 7% pay offer. here's our business correspondent, marc ashdown. the summer of strikes has reached felixstowe docks. these workers would normally be making sure essential goods find their way to households, but today, 1,900 members of the unite union are starting an eight—day walk—out. we've spent nine months

negotiating with the company and unfortunately we haven't managed to reach a settlement. therefore we felt we had no alternative but to take industrial action. i think a lot of people are behind us because they can relate. this is a time when everyone has been in a pinch with fuel, energy prices. keeps going up and not enough is being done to help families that are struggling. they're being offered a 7% pay rise with a £500 one—off lump—sum. they're asking for 10% in line with inflation. a strike here threatens to disrupt supply chains across the uk. it's called the port of britain for a reason. about 4 million standard—size containers are moved in and out of felixstowe every year, about half the uk total, filled with everything from food and consumer goods to car parts. but for the next eight days, nothing will be moving.

it's because we're a successful company that we pay well and we pay 40% above national average. it's because we are successful, because we are profitable, we've managed to make an offer to our work is that we're really pleased with. the strike here follows a summer of walk—outs at rail operators across the uk and disputes at royal mail british at royal mail, british airways and bt. pressure is mounting on the incoming prime minister to set out a plan to tackle the rising cost of living. one of the features of all of these strikes is that there is no help from government. the government isn't helping people. it's not dealing with inflation. it hasn't come forward with a plan. and when people feel that government isn't helping us, the employers aren't helping us, nobody else is coming to our aid. the only thing left is to do it for themselves, to take industrial action. the department for transport said felixstowe is well set to mitigate disruption and supply chains are resilient, but unless there

is movement in this dispute, nothing here will move for at least a week. marc ashdown, bbc news. somalia's health minister says 21 people are now known to have died in an attack by al—shabab militants in the capital, mogadishu. he said the number of dead could be higher, because some bodies may have been removed by relatives. militants stormed the hayat hotel on friday — in a siege that lasted 30 hours. earlier, somalia's police commissioner told reporters that the security forces rescued 106 people. the authorities say all the militants were killed — although the group itself says some escaped. earlier i spoke stig jarle hansen, a political scientist and historian, who wrote the 2013 book al—shabaab in somalia. i asked him what he thought the motive was for this attack.

i think it's motivated by the need for al—shabab to show that they are strong and to put the comment to the new president's statements and statements from the new cabinet saying that a war against al—shabab was to be waged. so it's al—shabab showing that they are still strong and ready to fight. their attack is a typical al—shabab attack. these hotel attacks we have seen over and over again but we have seen an intensification of al—shabab attacks after the election this year. president hassan sheikh mohammed was elected on a promise to curb the insurgency. how much success has he had so far? it's very early to put a judgment on this but it is, he is inheriting structural problems in the security architecture of somalia that has to be solved. the security structure in somalia has been very bad at providing security to ordinary somalians and al—shabab have taken advantage of that by pressuring ordinary somalians to pay money

to the organisation, so—called taxing, and increasing their wealth. so it inherited a lot of problems. this is going to be difficult because he has an army that has been plagued by corruption, it has been plagued by lack of payment, although that has improved, so there is going to be a lot of difficulties but so far, there has been some struggles after the election, but as i said also, al—shabab has intensified their attacks. south korea and the united states are holding their largest joint military exercises on the korean peninsula in years, as they practice fighting a war against an increasingly hostile north korea. but there is concern that north korea could use the drills as a chance to retaliate. 0ur seoul correspondent jean mackenzie reports... deep underground, an american and a south korean colonel watch north korea.

i'm learning but it's difficult to get it right. in this classified bunker outside seoul, the two militaries work together to defend against north korean attacks. this is the only place in korea where us forces and south korean forces sit side by side, and using all this information, they can detect almost immediately if north korea launches a weapon. between his great english and my terrible korean we can usually muddle through a lot of different things and get to a decision quickly. the threat from north korea is increasing. its missiles are becoming more dangerous, its rhetoric more fiery. so these war games from five years ago are back as the us and south korea practice how to fight their common enemy using aircraft, warships and tanks. i can't do it in a classroom, i can't do it on a chalkboard, i have to give them the most intense environment that we can create and this is that environment.

fighter pilot captain abby walters will train from the sky. it's really important for us to train together with the south koreans. the communication flow is much better in the air if you've practised it multiple times, so it can go quicker which helps us to get more effects down and just be more efficient and deadly in ourjob. north korea sees these drills as a rehearsalfor an invasion. there is concern it could retaliate. in this recent speech, kim jong—un warned it could end in war. they might have the appearance of war but the us and south korea insist these drills are defensive. in part a show of strength to convince north korea never to use its weapons, especially as it works to develop ones that can evade missile defences. lieutenant general scott plius is the deputy head of

the us forces korea. i have absolutely no worries whatsoever that north korean missiles have a way of defeating our capabilities here on the peninsula. but they are making progress. and so are we. intelligence suggests north korea is on the cusp of testing its first nuclear weapon in five years. south korea says it shouldn't be blamed if these drills provide its ammunition. since north korea know that this one is a defensive one and they wanted to utilise this joint military drill for their own political purpose, i think that the joint military drill is one excuse for north korea to do the kind of military provocation. these war games may well provoke north korea but faced with an increasingly formidable enemy, these forces believe they have no choice but to prepare.

jean mackenzie, bbc news, seoul. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's 0lly foster. hello and thanks forjoining us. it's been an absorbing day in the english premier league — shocks, drama and goals — six of them coming at newcastle's st james's park, where manchester city were looking to move to the top of the table but it finished 3—3 in perhaps the game of the season so far. pep guardiola's side took the early lead through ilkay gundogan, only to see the home side come to life. goals from miguel almiron and callum wilson saw them lead by the break and and then a stunning free—kick from kieran trippier put eddie howe's team 3—1 up with about 35 minutes left on the clock. but the champions responded instantly — erling haaland and bernardo silva got them level. they pushed for a winner but newcastle deserved their point, city lie second in the table,

two points behind arsenal. we made a properfootball game. i think everybody in the stadium enjoyed it, and to be watching the game, at the end of this is what football is all about. both teams try to win, they gave everything. leeds united are level on points with city in the table after producing one of the more surprising results of the weekend. they beat chelsea 3—0 at elland road. jesse marsch�*s side weathered an early storm but scored twice in the space of five minutes before the break. in possession for his first premier league goal and rodrigo headed a second. jack harrison made it three before chelsea were reduced to 10, kalidou koulibaly sent off in the last 10 minutes. i'm really happy for our team. they work really hard, they have tried to adapt in every way that i have asked

them to, they committed to the environment that we created, and validation moments like this are really important for continued progress, and i think that is what we have to understand. it is not just that it is a win, it is a good performance against a really good team, and we start to understand that the potential is there, and we have to maximise that every day. one other result in the premier league, brighton are also unbeaten after winning 2—0 at west ham, alexis mac allister scored a first half penalty and leandro trossard wrapped up the points midway through the first half. the hammers have lost their first three matches of the season. elsewhere in europe, mbappe, neymar and messi have all scored for paris saint germain, they're heading back to the top of ligue 1. they currently lead lille 6—1. meanwhile in germany's bundesliga, it was an afternoon to rememberfor bayern munich. the defending champions eased to a 7—0 win at bochum — sadio mane scoring twice. eintracht frankfurt drew 1—1 with cologne in the day's other game.

in italy, napoli sit top of serie a after making it two wins from two. they beat monza 4—0, while it finished goalless between empoli and fiorentina. two more games drawing to a close. atalanta v ac milan — it's currently 1—1. bologna v verona — it's currently 1—1. and villarreal are the new early leaders in spain's la liga, after they beat atletico madrid 2—0, while valencia lost 1—0 at atletic bilbao. robert lewandowski has scored his first barcelona goal, but they led for just four minutes against real sociedad, it's1—1. now it could be a huge night for the croatian borna coric, he's looking to win his first atp tour title since 2018 but faces the fourth seed stefanos tsitsipas in the final of the cincinatti 0pen. that match begins shortly. caroline garcia was the surprise winner of the women's event. the french qualifer beat the two—time wimbledon

champion petra kvitova, winning in straight sets, 6—2, 6—4. great boost for her ahead of the us open that starts a week tomorrow. that's all the sport for now. just before we go — for many, spiderman is an entertaining fantasy, but forsome, climbing buildings in cities is a serious business. young parisian alexis landot has scaled skyscrapers in la defense and mounted the montparnasse tower, but he reckons this 122—metre tower in the suburbs of paris was his toughest challenge yet. he's one of the only climbers in the world to go "free solo", meaning he foregoes ropes and security. alex prepared for this climb for six months. i'm very glad to say he made it safely to the top!

it is rather unsettled, low pressure dominates. there will be some outbreaks of rain at times, also some sunny spells, and it's a set to feel rather humid, particularly toward southern areas, that humidity is swept away by the time we get to the end of the week, with some fresh air replacing it. 0vernight tonight, the weather front we have been seeing so far today set to push northwards and eastwards, introducing plenty of cloud. it is rather muggy underneath that cloud, some coastal and hill fog down to south—western coastal areas, and temperatures in the clearest of the skies could drop to high single

figures, so cooler here. on monday, this is the position of our weather front. that is set to move eastwards as we had throughout the day, most of the rain will tend to be quite light and patchy, but there will be the odd heavy downpour at times, and thatis the odd heavy downpour at times, and that is certainly true as we head through the afternoon, with some heavier downpours. they could be some breaks in the cloud toward south—west england, but watch out for some heavier downpours. temperatures in the high teens, otherwise the low 20s. some cloud moving into western wales in central england, but there could be... we could see highs of 26 or 27

celsius. 0n be... we could see highs of 26 or 27 celsius. on wednesday, this is where the position of the rain is most likely to be. some heavier downpours at times, our weather front and southwards and eastwards, but it fizzles out as it goes, so not too much rain for central areas. cooler and fresher towards the north, and with any sunny spells we will see highs of 28 or 29 celsius stop some fresh feeling conditions for all as we head through friday.
