is charged with terrorism. police allege he broke the law by threatening to sue officials, supporters rally outside cons house, going to prevent police from arresting him. kenny as defeated presidential candidate, brian would dig up formally, appeals the outcome of the recent election. and in the buddhist league, who can stop by a munich, raining champions, are having bad, best stops to a season ever after trashing bull bull. 7 mill. ah, i'm glad elf as well come to the program. russia security services are claiming that ukraine is responsible for a car bombing in moscow on the weekend. the attack kills daria doug,

the daughter of an outspoken russian hard line nationalist. a said to be very close to vladimir putin, both to gonna and her father that publicly supported russia's war in ukraine. keith has denied any involvement, but an obscure russian group is now saying it was behind the attack. they call themselves the national republican army and none on group. that is now claiming responsibility for the killing of daria took enough blood, which in a video statement read by a former russian lawmaker, the group threatened to more attacks on people with connections to the kremlin. or is there a doubt that an improvised movement could have carried out such a sophisticated attack quite similar investigations over the death of dark doogie. now continue, the russian investigative committee says an explosive planet in the vehicle killed the 29 year old t v commentator. the power of the explosion was evident parts of the toyota land cruiser was strewn across a large area. her father alexander duke in may, however,

have been the target of the attack. russian stayed media said doug in was intending to travel in the vehicle, but changed his mind at the last minute. both dugeon and his daughter were on her way to moscow after they attended a cultural festival. as we should, alexander doogan is one of the staunchest allies of president vladimir putin. in a far right philosopher in author, he has been pushing for a revival of the russian empire. his daughter, although less known, was also a prominent member of the altar nationalist movement supporting russia invasion of ukraine. e on that be. so i called for genocide of ukrainians. she called greg into human race. she called for public 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 rushing for right nationally neo nazi are influential scene

rushes. federal security service is now accusing ukraine of being behind the blast as spokesperson for ukrainian president viola dimia sal lensky has denied keith was involved. or this story is of course, being closely followed endocrine. so let's bring in the w's roman, gone to ranko, joins us from the ukraine in capital chief roman, the so called national republican army claimed responsibility for this attack. what more can you tell us? what we know about this group? well, was still don't know much and there are still i would say there are still more questions than answers. for example, nobody heard of that organization before and there was no am confirmation that it exists are from independent sources. and it is still unclear why this organization would do such a thing now, half a year after the russian invasion and ukraine began. or why choose such a target?

because m that ideologists that mr. dugan himself was a well known a far right activist. but he was not having much of an influence as were here. and he was definite, not, not proteins, brain as some media claim. his daughter was also a relatively unknown, i would say. so there is still unclear why such a target. now, roches domestic intelligence surveys f s b is claiming that ukrainian special forces were behind this attack. is that likely? well i'm, i would not exclude it am, but at this moment, at this stage i would say m, it is rather unlikely because ukrainian special forces did some killings, but most of them, if not all, were on the ukrainian territory or in don barza in the east of ukraine controlled previously by the separatist,

nor by russia openly and in the south of ukraine. so they killed a military man. they killed a ukrainian collaborators who were appointed as head of administration in those regions. but the, there were no killings in russia itself, nor killings of bremen in russia, a so on, at this moment it is, it, it is still a speculation. if the ukranian special forces were behind it, if it is so, it would be something completely new. and now i have we heard from the kremlin, how is put in reacting to this well, we haven't heard of from putting himself an erection. and it was an untypical for him to, to say something. so soon he most likely will comment in the coming days. and we still are waiting for a reaction from russian sources. what we've heard so far is the official reaction by the russian investigating committee pointing towards ukraine, saying it was the ukrainian woman who did this and hers and fled to estonia. or

there was no reaction to that from ukraine, from the ukrainian government sources or so the key of officials that said that they are not behind that attack. and this is if there were no new and there is no new information on that. but everybody is just, i'm guessing what, what good putting or what could russia do next? and there is not much what a rush i could do. just teach ukraine harder with raucous, probably more rockets or more powerful rockets. but this is something here and key of people have been expecting because of the in ukrainian independence day on august 24th. and because of the attacks on the crimea against russian military targets. so ukraine is expecting russian retaliation. and any time soon my colleague roman had gone to ankle, they're reporting from here. thank you very much. roman police in pakistan, have filed terrorism charges against former prime minister in run con. he had threatened to sue pakistan's, police inspect the general and

a judge. during his speech at the weekend, the countries media watched or car since band channels for broadcasting live addressed by con, accusing him of hate speech. hundreds of his supporters house surrounded his home and the capitalism about in efforts to prevent his arrest. and earlier i spoke to shantell shops from d w asia and asked him what was behind the charges against pakistan's, former prime minister. well, in my opinion, the former prime minister on con, is, are trying to put pressure on the box on the military because he really does not care about the incumbent government or premises boston. he knows that the army dot is calling the shots, the army who according to have forced his ouster from follow. and that's what he has been trying to do. the mass, really, the public gatherings of the and the army rhetoric is all mean putting pressure on

the army chief come or job. so there has been a history of andy army politics is focused on iraq on taking it to another level on is not a traditional politician focused on someone like a donald trump in the u. s. so it's supporters like this kind of rhetoric. and when he threatened to do dish judges and the police officials, obviously it was obvious that the government would act against him and now he's facing the consequences of his right. now, speaking of his support of how much support does he have in the population? is he a real threat to the government and to the military? as you said, i think he's extremely popular and he has become more popular since is out of because people see him as a someone who is challenging the status quo. the tradition, politicians, he has

a someone who has stood up against the army and his, and the us rhetoric because he accused the u. s. washington. all for a conspiring and you know, getting the opposition parties in the military to do i was to from power. so he has become immensely pop up, but i believe that the government is not really worried about it because every politician bugs on knows that as long as the buffalo agree is backing them, which the military is doing at the moment of their position to secure. but popularity, non popularity is rising bushel. now talk to me about the military a bit more in which way are they running the country? well, 1st of all, they have a huge economic sticks in box. so they have the biggest chunk off the g p a and done some defense budget because of this strategy. geopolitical situation of

box where you have india and a new york rather than the stuff that was done, borders have gone on. so military gets a lot of money ministries involved in businesses as well. at the same time, the military determines because military has boxed on directly for over 35 years collectively as a military decides the foreign policy and domestic policy. and all these things to politicians in the past who have tried to challenge emitter creek half a summer brown and he said he's an exam now. iran is doing the same thing, but the military believe it's just the geopolitical situation. the strategy can just cannot be compromise and they cannot allow populace prime minister who suffer dodge all of these things. because he believes that he was focused on situation is quite unique in terms of with the strategy, the militancy issues,

the dollar bomb issue, all of them issues. the military has an upper hand has been like this for a long demand channels on there from t w asia. thank you very much on that revenue time. now for a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today, south korea and the us have kicked off the biggest combined military exercises in years. the 4 day drills are being viewed as a response to more frequent and threatening missile tests by north korea. anti war protesters in sol held a rally in opposition to the office. they were german console of shaw says arrived in canada for his 1st official visit. schultz is expected to sign a new deal, establishing hydrogen supply chains with canada. he's traveling with is economy minister and a business delegation. they're looking for energy alternatives and ways to speed up germany's green energy transition. for man, be a champion,

singapore and so have deferring views on whether homosexuality is right or wrong. but most people, except that a person's sexual orientation or behavior is a private and personal matter. and that sex between men should not be a criminal offense. the move has been welcomed by many who say it's time to bring the law up to date. actually i got a law gave, right? so i kind of feel that it is something that is still the justifiable while the colonial era law ban sex between men, l g b, t q group said the law amounted to state, sanctioned discrimination against the entire gay community. ah, i'm in awe

. it means singapore joins a growing list of asian nations including india, thailand, and taiwan, to liberalize their laws on homosexuality. but following pressure from religious groups, the government says it has no plans to change his legal definition of marriage as being between a man and woman. some rights groups a disappointed what the government has done is to say that discrimination against l. g. people is acceptable cementing this discrimination in the supreme law for example, has huge ramifications for other other kinds of life and other policies which the people so while repeating the ban on gay sacks is being hailed as a triumph of love. i've a fear rights groups will in the lion city still has a long way to go to full a quality ah.

creek, both of us house of the dragon hit the small screen in the u. s. sunday evening and most similar simultaneously, street on platforms around the world. it is said 200 years before the events and game of thrones. that trick will is packed with intrigue and politics, battles and bloodshed. and of course, even dragons. well for this that's bring in our film expert scotts, it's got rocks, bro, from a dw cautious got, you watched it. how was it? yeah, i was quite impressed. i mean, i'm not sure but you, but i've been sort of jones in for games throughout game of thrones since it wrapped up 3 years ago. and this gives you basically everything you want from, from the original series. i mean, you're back in king's land and you have the iron throne, you have a political intrigue, lots of dragons from the very start. so it has all those, all those elements. i think it is interesting though, because i think the show is trying to do something quite different. the game of

thrones was will be interesting to see how fans the series, whether they really embrace the show or not. so what is the difference that i was a huge fan as well as the 1st couple of series? what's the difference? yeah, the, the big difference. i mean, game of thrones, a sort of the big story is it's a bunch of different families, houses battling over the iron throne trying to who rain over this kingdom of west arose in this a series because it takes place almost 200 years before the instance in the ritual game of thrones series, and we've got just the one house, the house of tiger in the rules of everyone. they've got their dragons. no one can challenge them. so it's not the story of houses battling. it's for a house carrying itself apart. and it's the story of the succession of the, the, the ruler. you have an aging king. he sickly. and it's a question of who's going to succeed him is going to be his younger. oh, daughter or is going to be his sort of violent and a brother and it becomes the question of, of succession and,

and it's sort of the, one of i was talking to one of the actors in the series. and they said it's almost like a kitchen sink drama, very private, very intimate, but then down on this massive scale, i with it, with a, sat in the special effects and so forth that we know from the series. so if you were nourishing value of similar productions, valley in some ways is even more than, than you never from game game of thrones, but the, the context is more personal and more intimate. so i think that combination, interestingly interesting to see if fans of the original series really embraced that. or if they think, oh, this is a bit too small. i want to be jumping around. i want to be going up to the wall. i want to be going to another country and i want to be staying in kings landing all the time. ok, so the demand of that for that show was very high. that apparently that the hbo streaming service struggle to keep up there will happen. yeah, we saw this in the us, and this isn't the 1st time this has happened. but the, it happen also in the last of the season of game of thrones as well, that the streaming a service hbo max and couldn't keep up with the man that you saw. a saw the, the service collapse in certain places. and people can watch the show,

i'm using this with some of the other streaming service. i think it's interesting because these, this internet infrastructure may not be up to the demand that every, because everyone now is watching the shows online and not in sort of regular television. it'll be interesting to see if the each bill max is of this world of netflix and so forth. can really keep up with the man to sort of maintain the infrastructure. we can always walk, we can watch all the shows in sort of full hg quality when we want to. um, so far there were some mistakes, but some, some problems. but i think the majority people were able to watch. and so how many stars out of 5 you're given, ah, i would say of for, for now, and maybe an additional one if they had a few more dragons. very good. thank you very much. scott ross for that w culture. you're watching did have a news is a reminder of the top story we're following for you. russian security services alleged that ukraine was behind a car bombing in moscow over the weekend is our kills diary. i do get out the daughter of a russian hardline nationalist, both together and her father, and publicly supported russia's war and ukraine. keith as denied any involvement
