foreign ministry has speculated that keith might have been behind the bombing. alexander dugan is believed to have been the target of the attack. his sin in this video circulated by pro government media minutes after his daughter was killed in the car explosion. they suggest the vehicle belong to dugan, but he was using another one at the time of the blast. fairly in the morning, as investigators continued their work, the power of the blast became evident parts of the toyota land cruiser were strewn across the large area. a burned body was reportedly found in the vehicle which slid of the road. both duncan and his daughter daria were on the way to moscow after they attended a cultural festival. another 3, alexander dugan is one of the staunchest allies of president vladimir putin. and at the far right philosopher and author, he has been pushing for a revival of the russian empire. his daughter, although less known, was also

a prominent member of the ultra nationalist movement and supporting russia's invasion of ukraine e on. that is the word that she called for genocide of ukrainians. she called greg and says stop human raise. she called for public ah, public killings of ukrainian prisoners of war, et cetera. so yes, she's against daughter bart. she is, 1st of all, a very active member of our russian, a fall right nationalist, neo nazi, our influential scene. a spokesperson for ukraine and president invalid im zalinski has denied keith was involved. but pro russian separatist, say ukraine was behind the blast. and russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman murray, as a heroine, said if the investigation's trail led to ukraine, it would amount to state terrorism. and this is how d w is russia. analysts konstantin egger describes the reaction to daria again, us killing in russia. well, when i woke up this morning, i saw the russian to the sphere, russian sort of social media,

really exploding with this news and predictably those who are support of present putin and he's war was saying, this is an act of terrorism. and those who oppose him and the lot of ukrainians was saying, serves duke in the right. even basically, if he was the targets of this or a parent assassination attempt, although frankly what i've seen in the last 23 hours is quite interesting because a new report of servicing that the car in which the diarrhea duke in our travelled ah, was really a her car and not dugan's car. so now a new version is that actually she was the intended victim of this hit. if this was indeed a hits, but it seems like it was are certainly it would appear to be a but just to help us understand a little bit more about the man at the center of this, the survivor and the father,

alexander doogan. who is he, how much influence does he have with president putin? no one knows he is 60 years of age, are met him a few times and interviewed him in my previous job. he is a very brisk man who doesn't suffer contradictions lightly. ah, he modeled himself very much on the early 20th century authoritarian philosophers, especially the italian yulusef allah, who was one of the fathers of italian passion as many claim about at the same time, he was very much a personal. he is very much a person with a specific russian imperial nationalist twist. he actually things that are the soviet union or the russian. why should be kind of re composed and no blood should be spared in a, in the quest for this goal, he sees the united states and generally i think the west as eternal enemies in

russia. oh, with whom there could be there could be no compromise, as was his influence. no one really knows because he is great at self p. r. but no one has seen him are together with president putin. he doesn't hold any official positions of the criminal. although one has to say his project in the sphere of social media lectures and stuff like that, a pretty well funded and just briefly, if you don't mind, is there any way you can see this affecting russia's war and ukraine? well, i think there's good to be a propaganda fact, and of course, if it was indeed a hit by some kind of ukrainian connected entity, this is a signal to a lot of other people in moscow, but i do not think it's going to be something like a turning point, something really dramatic, the battlefield remains the main focus for us. okay, t w's, russia analyst, konstantin agger. thanks so much. and earlier our

correspondent young philip schultz and key explained the reaction to the death of daria davina in you crime, and has immediately denied any kind of involvement. a top adviser to president lensky. immediately went on tv and said that ukraine has nothing to do with the bombings a. instead he, he blamed internal power struggles in russia. of course, the sadness regarding the killing is very limited. here in ukraine, davina is considered a top and then me, by many people here in ukraine, and many western countries sanctioned her because of because of the lies. and she spreads about about ukraine and the war in ukraine. at the same time, there are fear sierra of ed, so the bombing could be followed by x of revenge. and as we heard before, some prominent figures in moscow have already called for some sort of retaliation.

a text on keith. let's have a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. american president joe biden has joined the leaders of the united kingdom to france and germany in a call to address safety at nuclear sites in ukraine. they welcome the international atomic energy agencies mission to the shop, a region nuclear facility, russia and ukraine have blamed each other for jeopardizing safety at europe's largest nuclear power plant. a bloody siege in somalia has come to an end. somali forces overcame islamist terrorist who stormed a hotel in the capital, mogadishu, the battle with the al qaeda linked to al. sure. bob militants lasted 30 hours and left 20 people dead. many others were wounded in the siege. singapore will repeal its colonial era law banning gay sex prime minister leash and lou made the announcement at the annual national day rally saying that society was

more accepting of gay people. but he said there would be no change in the legal definition of marriage as between a man and a woman during one man. china says it will try to protect its grain, harvest from intense drought by using chemicals to generate rain. the country is in the midst of a severe water shortage and its hottest and drives summer since the government began recording rainfall 61 years ago. but can china or anyone really changed the weather, firing rockets into the clouds and hoping for rain these meteorology workers in china's hu bay province, or participating in a 3 month project now. sure, hoping to save this year's grain harvest people around the world have been trying to seed clouds for decades. but it's not clear whether it really works. what is clear is that southern china's farms need water badly. as a lawyer, homemade its situation is like this every year with them,

but we will have to find new solutions to a guy that they along with. for example, we will build up natalie to block the sun one guy pendleton, and irrigate every day with him without. and we will install automatic spray systems to reduce our loss of excellent, loosely, lee. and i guess our little since the mock one way to get water to the fields is to divert rivers and reservoirs using heavy duty pumps. rice paddies require a huge amount of water and are especially sensitive to drought. any man without timely irrigation. the rice would buckle, which would lead to crop failure longer, but reservoirs are already depleted by the hot, dry summer. oh yes. that's why authorities are trying everything to save the harvest. whether the technology is proven or not. researchers at the university of richmond in the united states are teaching a group of rats how to drive little plastic cars. the rodents are rewarded with small treats. learning to drive seems to relax the rats of finding that could hold

potential for solving human mental health challenges. this is black tail at the training. this is multi colored tail and they are taking driving lessons. it's not always easy, but if they find their way, they are rewarded with a treat. her usually have a little bit of a moment there where you see them sniff bang, trying to figure out what's going on. and then they'll put their paws on to the lever and they just have to push the lever down and that makes the card go. and it looks like it's not only humans who enjoy getting behind the wheel. scientists say some rats seem eager to drive just for the fun of it, while others do so, just for the treat, leo goes to raise test. also shown that driving right are more resilient and less

stressed. we want to sort of get out this aspect of all these effort based rewards and on what driving might be for them as far as an enriching experience and on something that may combat against negative emotions. things like that that we can sort of generalize into our human lives as far as doing things that bring as joy that we are involved in that also reward us. the head of the program believes behavior therapy, like learning a new skill is key to treating the mind. like one of the great failings of medicine has been an inability to throw our mental illness through drugs back. she believes her team's findings could help fine alternative treatment for a range of mental health conditions, including insanity, or depression. and we head to the southern hemisphere now to winter
