and damage the front door. shortly after the attack, are you creating an official said the key of security service? what's behind it? russian authorities said the explosive device was planted inside an electric scooter and was designated remotely. please, i said the incident has been classified as a terrorist act and murder, illegal trafficking of weapons and ammunition. an investigation is underway at the scene of the incidents to establish the circumstances of the crime and those involved of fame because we have looked eager, couldn't live, was the head of the russian military's chemical, biological and radiological weapons unit. he was also considered a key figure in russia's war against ukraine. took up just a day before he was killed, kit a live was charged and up censure by ukrainian cord. for russia is use of band chemical weapons in ukraine. he'd also been sanctioned by britain for using chemical weapons on the battlefield. i also russian affairs analyst constantine. i

got to tell us more about the russian general a well carry law. sonya is probably the cd and tried to remember anyone who was most any other than him among the russian offices that died during this russian aggression against the graeme. he was lift, tenant general, uh 53 years of age. uh, basically grew through the oldest stages of minutes or career and he was quite an important person in terms of his position as head of the nuclear, biological and chemical protection of defense of forces. oh russia. he is definitely part of the leadership of the defense ministry minister leadership of the general style. and he became quite famous or rather infamous. if you look from the graham, uh, you know, through the training lens full constantly. uh, cuz usually you grain in his public briefings of using chemical weapons of

endangering of a situation, for example, a new or nuclear power plant in the ukrainian held a part of the russian course called was. so she was also a media figure and he's a liquidation by the grand news, of course, an old dextrous act in near what seems to be like an apartment love where she lived in the uh, north east of moscow. its not a very prestigious area, but still um, what the rest of the social media is now showing. i look top uh the photos from moscow. it seems that uh, the uh, this, this operation was carried out with the uh, in mind of booby trapped uh screenshot, which was parked near the entrance to the apartment. look, uh, we see this quite disturbing. i would say images of the 2 bodies of the general and

his assistant. uh and uh, damage to black, toyota, uh, nearby and the russians up. there's already confirmed that this is the call which the general use. second 17. he was an important man. he was famous and as you describe it, this was an old day for us act. so how much of a blow is this full president? let them? that's who said, well look on the a, a rush is not a democracy, then i'm going to be the problem in 3 questions about uh, about security off top officials uh, in, in russia. so, uh, in this respect, prison pool is quite safe. uh, but of course this is a signal that uh you credit him uh, the grand leadership of the grant in the secret services all sending up to 12 persons. no one is safe. oh, those who do something and gets to grade all you know, across scares. and of course, this is a powerful message. this is most cool. uh and i do not remember, you know,

be trapped vehicles blown up. it must go for quite a few years. so i do think indeed this is a signal to uh, those pressures that are involved the will uh receive dw use rusher if hes on the list, constantine get constant. thank you so much for that. i also also correspond to. net conley has in keith to explain more about ukraine's claim of responsibility for the attack. so for now, we of low on details or just seeing those savings ridges, then you will see on social media all the explosion site. but i think what's really unusual to summarize quite how quick this ukrainian a message came out that this was indeed an operation of ukraine secret services. in the past, we have had reports, for instance, russian pilots who have problems ukraine, either being sholtes or otherwise coming to home in various parts of russian, moscow. and then you know, days a week later, the ukrainian especially services,

basically in directory admitting that involvement, but never as far as that is that is really unusual. and as consumers mentioned, that the location is unusual and i think it is at a time of pretty bad and useful. you craftsmanship from the front lines visa, a message to top russians, that maybe we don't have the same number of results of the same number of tanks and planes as you do. but we can hit you where and to the kind of domestic and creating audience. it's about showing that, you know, for all it's set back some recent weeks, ukraine is still able to do things that people probably wouldn't have imagined that they were capable. and they do, we know why this man in particular carrillo why he was targeted for certainly this topic. all the chemical weapons being used in the front lines is something that is taken very, very seriously. here. there's a lot of frustration when you told people that the outside world, they think haven't been paying enough attention. sometimes these agents used maybe to kill people immediately, but these are choking agents. that cost me think damage people's lungs that i've

had. people have, you know, had significant long term impacts on the health of this. and the fact that, you know, russia has signed is that the conventions finding the use of these weapons. these are, will one with them instead of being used now. and you know, for me, grace that you have, this is just being taken for granted by the outside world and russia isn't being pulled out about it. obviously, this is a dangerous game. you know, we know the russian, the pos has tried to kill, to ask, you know, the tilting crane officials on ukrainian soil. but we haven't heard false. the similar kind of high tech, high kind of level attempts by russia engaged screening officials. so, you know, the retaliation could be something that we see in the weeks to come. when you talk to you guys about this, they say actually, this is a little easiest thing, ukraine to do in russia. then for rest of the through and ukraine, there are millions of ukrainians who have worked in russia, who speak russian perfectly, who called the easily identified whereas russians are speak, ukrainian can operate on the here. on many few us of there is a sense that this is a kind of asymmetric. we'll find that ukraine can do better and the rest who might struggle to keep nick. thank you so much. that's the w. isn't it familiar?

forcing from steve. let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world and the m t wailing activist pool watson has been released from detention itself to denmark for fused a japanese expedition request. watson had been detained in greenland, which isn't a ton of mistake. in his territory on a japanese arrest for, and he's accused of damaging a whaling fit in the arctic in 2010. due to the democratic republic of congo, who has filed criminal complaints against the tech joint apple in front, and belgium accusing it of using so called conflicts, minerals, and it's for the products condo as a major source of such minerals. but some of its mines being taken over by on groups. apple says it does not directly source. it's primary minerals and syria. the head of the islam is rebels. the top of bush all outside has said,

you have to remember, my judge is less than half the size of really it's mountainous and rugged. so the challenges of bringing them a from the outside are huge. the way sites is the northern by your square, entire neighborhood set up and destroyed, then that the combination of high winds and sliding expensive these areas particularly vulnerable. and there's still a reluctance to seek shelter. and many residents are hesitant to move to emergency shelter setup due to fear of being controlled by the french department, with a large proportion of people from the cum morris. they are doing the legal says, despite the fact that the arts, historically part of the same entity is recognized by the united nations. and then also there's the health risk, and these have been exacerbated by those nobody, those risk to. and so the challenges are already a growing weeds potential outbreaks of watching boring disease as ju to 2nd water
