12:02 pm
journalist. this is footage released by the f s b and taken from a security camera on the apartment building where doria do going to lift. the suspect is spotted going to the entrance and typing the code to the door. she apparently ran to the floor in the same building where mister gonna lift. another video shows are crossing at the border, the prime suspect going from russia to western. he just 14 hours after dory 2 going to was killed. the suspect though, changed her, her color from blonde, which she had a month ago when entering russia to brian, seen in this frontage, security cameras captured st. all the details, including her face on the car, which the f s. b sage was used in the assassination. i spoke to r t dol quarter on what more is known about the events. well, she does not get here well, the f, as these official investigation has concluded that the assassination of journalist
12:03 pm
and political analysts, daria, do gonna was carried out by the ukrainian secret services. the official statement has identified the terrorists as a 43 year old woman who's a ukranian citizen named natalia, evolved and her 12 year old daughter who was brought along named sophia siobhan. now, according to the f s. b, they were following around. daria do gonna, in a mini cooper, this mini cooper entered russia, entered the country with danielle people's republic license plates, and then it was traveling around moscow with catholic stan license plates and then left the country to estonia with ukrainian license plates. the country where the assailants made their getaway to the same many cooper we're talking about here was also seen on ukrainian websites for sale earlier before this attack took place. but that, but that listing has been actually taken down. and as for where the assailants carried out this attack, it likely took place at a literature, music festival that both the assailants were at. and daria do gonna and her father
12:04 pm
alexander doogan before she was killed shortly before she was killed before a bomb was planted under the driver's side of the vehicle. she was in quite a lot of information. don the, the name even what kind of car used by the perpetrator hobbling good. any additional details from other sources? well, in terms of the mini cooper, i just mentioned a lot of people on the internet are saying that by putting up a listing to sell the car, the assailants were trying to have an alibi before they committed the act. after all, the person who put up this listing on these ukranian websites was a direct relative of the assailant. so he's also a member of the neo nazi as all battalion and an agent of the ukrainian secret services. another thing that's going around the internet are pictures of documents that are alleged to be the assailants. this is natalia vault. and if that's true, if this is, if these documents are verified that would mean that voc is no doubt a member also of the as of neo nazi battalion and
12:05 pm
a member of the ukrainian security services in terms of the person who was killed, you give some details about her 29 journalist by all kinds very popular as well. give us a sense of wider sense within russia. what reactions been to the assassinations or russians? foreign ministry spokeswoman murray as a har of has called this a terrorist attack on her telegram channel, and that's exactly what it is. there's no grey area for interpretation. this was an act of state sponsored terror against unarmed civilians. and at the same time, he has been completely silent about this and continues to accuse russian soldiers of killing civilians throughout its military operation in ukraine. but we have seen continually acts like this and we've seen ukraine stay silent on it. and what's more, we're seeing ukrainian officials call for the genocide of russians in general, like the ukranian envoy, the catholic stand. let's take a listen. we'll try to kill as many of them as possible. the more russians we kill
12:06 pm
now, the less our children will have to kill in terms of daria. do good at. what did she achieve in her all too brief time. on earth really and her father, we keep hearing so many headlines, but him in the west who was what were his beliefs to just to give you some background on the victim of this attack? daria do going to, she was the daughter of the anti western author and political commentator, alexander doogan. and she's also actually a personal friend of mine. her father has been targeted by the western media as a sort of advisor to vladimir putin on foreign policy issues. for the longest time they've been in the western media, he's been really made out to be this really important person. while actually in russia, the kremlin has not officially recognized any time with him, and many consider him to be quite a marginal figure. and it's also important to note that many are saying there's a lot speculation and reports that i was under duke and was actually the true target of this attack. or considering the fact that this bomb was actually planted
12:07 pm
under the drivers side of alexander, duke and car. and it was only after a last minute decision for him to take a separate vehicle to another place. and for daria to take his car that we unfortunately saw that dory duke and gonna was killed in this attack. well, that's cross live, know to mark slip. buddha marks a political scientist sociologist, an expert on international security issues, very much your friend of the program. thanks mark for coming on. so ex revenue rushes security service has pointed the finger squarely at ukraine here. they've supplied a lot of information as well to back up the claims in the past few hours. your thoughts just on those developments? firstly, well, 1st of all, i think that 1st of all it is. we said that this is a clear act of political terror. we know from figures a former russian duma member who defected
12:08 pm
to ukraine and became a member of the ukrainian military trying to muddy the waters on a ukrainian propaganda channel. but making it clear that daria do get herself was targeted specifically as well as her father. this is a cold blooded terrorist act to murder a 29 year old woman, an academic, a civilian. and there is no grey line on this. this is an act of really heinous political terror. secondly, i would say that it represents a security failure on behalf of russian intelligence and border security. this woman was quite obviously, they discovered quickly after the fact that she was a member of a's off, that she was a member of the. 3 ukrainian intelligence unit and she had contact with others of
12:09 pm
the same ilk. and yet still she got into the country and got her hands on explosives. it's not knowing whether she got them yet before she came into the country or whether she acquired them here. but definitely, russia is going to have to focus much more on their security if they're facing an opponent that is willing to go to such, blatantly evil acts out of spite. yeah, those details are emerging. the suspect had been in russia for a month. is that enough, in your opinion, it's enough time to plan such a brazen attack or would it go beyond? yeah, i think she probably had more accomplices. i don't think that she was probably alone in this, if not actively known, whether she is the one who set and detonated the explosive device that committed the murder. but she was obviously involved in it. she was obviously surveilling the
12:10 pm
victim. she even recently rented an apartment and moved in. i've heard reports coming from the russian intelligence services as well that she actually brought her young daughter with her as they cover wild, committing an act of political assassination and terror. which i mean, surely, must beggar. you know the opinions of mothers everywhere that she would risk her own daughter to kill someone else's daughter. some of the previous gas mark we've had in the program seems to suggest that russia won't have a knee jerk reaction to this. what reaction though, do you expect from oscars? what has occurred this weekend? yeah, i don't expect the, the russian government, the russian ministry defense is going to respond with a flurry of caliber cruise missiles or anything quite so. so crude, i think that you can expect russia to see political redress for this. i think they
12:11 pm
will definitely increase their own security. but i think you can also expect to see the russian intelligence services step up their game, both defensive and often serve as a result of this because while do again and his daughter were marginal political figures in russia, despite the attempt of the western media to blow them up to make a caricature and a bogey man out of do again and does affiliate the russian government. none of that is, is clearly true. so, but i think there is every potential that alexander duke and could become a bigger political figure out of this, as russian society react negatively, rallies around the flag after seeing a young woman, a patriot, a young academic killed in such
12:12 pm
a brutal and frankly unjustifiable action mark, it's purely speculation on my point, but do you think that possibly this goes beyond ukrainian at secret services? we know that at western governments have had some involvement in terms of preparation of attack, spare. u. k. british government have admitted that they have spoken to kiev about such things, of course weapons are supplying and all the time to keep to attack somebody or a family member of of such a high profiled figure does not come from kiev itself. or do you think we won't be able to prove this? but there were discussions there were talks away from ukraine that this was a target that, that should be dealt with. i think the regime in kiev with their intelligence
12:13 pm
services, clearly employing neo nazis straight out of a's, often in, in large numbers is certainly capable of the maliciousness of the, of the act. but we also have to keep in mind that alexander doogan was on sanctioned live, specifically from western governments, which is rather bizarre because they surely know in reality what a marginal figure he was in russian politics. but daria duke and herself, his daughter, was sanctioned by the british government. so clearly they had their numbers on both of these individuals as well. and it seems rather that, i mean, the regime and key has become a complete sovereignty, less proxy of western governments. their military's funding military 8 active intelligence on the battlefield. directing them what targets to
12:14 pm
hit. it is certainly not far fetched to believe that the ukrainian intelligence services likewise, is not doing anything without least a feel of approval by their western intelligence patron speaking to live in the program marks the boat american political scientist sociologist on expert on international security issues. mark, thank you. thanks for having. while some western media tips they have responded to the, the killing the slain of daria doing with cynicism, focusing on her father describing him as a mastermind behind rushes foreign policy. that reaction, that's in stark contrast to other assassination attempts against pro western figures. ortiz racial blevins as the story. the tragic killing of daria do. going to attract headline for media across the west, but their focus seem to be on her father, alexander again or more specifically, his political views and his supposed ties to the russian government. sienna
12:15 pm
referred to him as a spiritual guide, while the u. s. government funded radio free europe called him brain. the daily mail took a different approach focusing instead on duke and appearance, which was shown on videos taken at the scene. they described his reaction to seeing the car. his daughter was driving fully engulfed in fire as if it was a plot of some hollywood movie. but whether the attack was aimed at doogan or his daughter were both, didn't seem to matter to the individuals on social media who look to justify the apparent assassination. simply because they disagree with the views of the duke and family, and speaking of justifying it, here's what some and ukraine had to say. doogan. what's wrong with the face? prudence propaganda, consultant alexander duke himself was also supposed to be driving in the blown up car. his daughter was killed in the explosion. the apple fell not far from the tree
12:16 pm
. she continued her father's work promoting the ideology of the russian world and justifying the war against the ukraine. in general, the earth is vitreous to this russian, and we hope very soon dad will join her in hell. if it seems like the man's, your response to doris killing is different. that's because it is. in fact, earlier this month to doesn't gathered in new york to show their support after a controversial indian british author was stabbed in an apparent assassination attempt at an arts festival in new york. while he had made his share of enemies due to his religious writings, world leaders quickly came to his defense insisting that he was fully entitled to share his beliefs. salman rushdie with his insight into humanity, with his unmatched sense for story with his refusal to be intimidated or silenced, stands for essential universal ideals. truth, courage, resilience, the ability to share ideas without fear. these are the building blocks of any free and open society. and he is not alone, long time
12:17 pm
u. s. government official and accused war criminal. john bolton also made headlines this month after the department of justice revealed that he was the target of an alleged assassination plot by an iranian national. but despite the deadly attacks, bolton himself has supported, western media responded with nothing but concern. today the department of justice unsealed charging documents, revealing in a rainy murder plot against john bolton. this was a serious plot and the threat extends to other former government officials. officials say the man was a member of iran, revolutionary guard, cor, suspect. put a $300000.00 price tag on your hood. what goes through your mind, a bachelor? well, i was embarrassed at the low price. i would have thought it would have been higher while both individuals were controversial in their own ways. they didn't do the one thing the alexander to get has been doing for years. he has been an outspoken critic of the west and its foreign policy. he has also condemned ukraine's attacks
12:18 pm
on russian speaking people and supported russia's defense of the people and the don bass and, and crimea, as a result of their willingness to publicly share their beliefs. both doogan and his leg daughter were the subject of sanctions from the west. but it's the media's response, which serves as a reminder that tragic killings and attempted killings are only condemned when the target has a history of selling the approved narrative. if this were, if this were killing did happen again, someone in the u. s. for example. ready this would be treated much differently. i do think the western media is showing a double standard here. there's no question that if this it been the daughter of an important american intellectual, that the u. s. media would be ringing. it's hands would be calling for justice. would be calling for reprisals against those that did this. instead they seem to be
12:19 pm
taking some glee in what has happened. and yes, i mean again, clearly this is the result of a very strong anti, a russian sentiment in this country, which frankly has crossed a line into pure racism. and it's not acceptable. and i think the journalist, in particular, in the western media should take a good hard look at themselves and do some self reflection. let's move to more world news now. the islam abad high court house granted former pakistan prime minister im ron can protect of bail until thursday after police lodged a terror case against him. the in visally to this picture is published by his p t. i party mister can, can be seen greeting followers outside his residence. now he's facing action under
12:20 pm
the anti terrorism for allegedly threatening and just straight and senior police officers at raleigh. he organized to protest against the arrest of a senior member of his party, whom he alleges was also tortured, while in police custody. he is a local journalist job at rama. will i know i'm i'm in front of the hotel via phone, but if i miss him on on, he's addressing of a lead gathering of journalist intellectuals and political, political activists. and he's, he's telling whole foreign policy is extremely important in buckets on. and this is the 1st appearance after the tests, all phase of possible arrest on what appears to be politically motivated. that isn't charges today, according in capitalist lombard, provided him a lease, provided him a bill for a couple next couple of days. and if it means that the church officer rest are not over yet,
12:21 pm
but it seems that perhaps the next couple of days he is unlikely to be arrested. no, let me give you a bigger picture boxes on it seem perhaps that the better lines have been drawn between the former premises on phone. and the part will bought the powerful military, which has been called in charge in partis on the military, allegedly in league with the u. s. and the ministry political parties, according to the allegations by the, by the current policies they had had conspiracy to talk to his government after this year because he didn't you, former foreign minister in march of this year had visited moscow at the time, going to the she had started special military oppression that was seized by the medicos that perhaps up off the sun was going through the ocean and chinese blood and days used allegedly bucks on military and didn't office in parties to top of the government. but since then, he has stalked into med consumers according to live, to sort of a 72 percent focused on his consider the u. s. as did enemy. and now it has become
12:22 pm
extremely difficult for the current government and thoughtful ability to let us to him. just because that he enjoys that extreme popular public sport and that has become a problematic father military which is known to be making and but even government in the boxes. but it seems know the situation is a cost changing and back to son didn't dynamics of default politics is changing. and obviously the credit goes to the formative primes to it was a changing the traditional and historical dynamics of the politics van. it's seen that the defined politics of the former prime minister is forcing the military. the chair is policy or maybe if that doesn't happen, there's a possibility off it why them to action from the people in pakistan. but a senior member of im, ron counts party, has said the size of the rallies they're being seen testifies to the continued level of support, the politician and former cricket great cent choice in the citation country. public
12:23 pm

12:24 pm
you'd be taking some pictures to go out. and every person in every part of the wood is relevant in their rights to anybody to go. oh me for you. let me see if it has been wrong. what has his on the wrong him? somehow he's arrested that he actually would be so via, by all indications or indications point towards the fact that the public which never used to come out when previous governments were to own or when they were just made react was to produce lee and been a good deal of fashion because ron khan is enjoying a t k. another story we are following the united kingdom could face electricity block guides this winter for the 1st time in
12:25 pm
half a century. now it's under worst case scenario plans reportedly being drawn up by the government if gas shortage is combined with the cold season. the warning comes out of ridge, electricity cost shoot up to $4.00 times higher than last year, reaching more than $4000.00 pounds annually. per household. predictions suggest the power shortage lasting up to a week in january. in total there on $6000000.00 britons of 10 percent of the population would be impacted authorities. i've suggested that people turn off appliances between peak evening demand to save power, and that's the gas price across that you hit new records to officially have voice concerned that citizens will have to choose between buying food or hating their homes. here's our t contributor rachel marston's take on the situation. anyone who just a few months ago would amused about a potential humanitarian crisis in the u. k. or d, industrialization of germany, or blackouts in wealthy switzerland would have probably been laughed at of the room
12:26 pm
and into an insane asylum. we're talking here about the most developed nations on earth. and yet that's exactly where things are at today. it still summertime, here in europe with the winter's p heating seasons still always off. and yet, every day now official across the continent are making increasingly dire. predictions about the impact of the energy crisis caused by europe sanctioning of its own gas supply from russia. the latest to sound the alarm is the mayor of london city khan, who called attention on twitter to britain's national hall system leaders saying that the u. k. could be facing a humanitarian crisis as people have to make a choice between feeding themselves and paying for heating. as we near the winter months. choosing between hating and eating is a fair and reality for many, the impact on people's health will increase the pressure on our, in a chess off to, to pandemic years. the government must act now to protect people in the, in a chest british industry. leaders are also warning of potential closures of shops,
12:27 pm
restaurants, cafes, and nightclubs. as they get hit with impossibly high energy bills, perhaps even to the point of bankruptcy, according to media reports and representatives of german industry fear an exodus of manufacturers of car parts, chemicals and steel, all to, to record high costs of power, currently reaching a price that's $11.00 times higher than typical analysts are also fearing resulting unrest if the industry has to go to shortened work, weeks and reduced pay thanks to the energy crunch. this is where i get nervous. the ingredients for social unrest are there and the risk of that is under appreciated. meanwhile, swiss officials are drawing up doomsday style scenarios amid a fear of potential blackouts or even a shut down of the power grid. all these nations officials are going to great lengths to comment on how they're handling this slow motion train wreck streaming about the potential fall out. while ignoring the fact that halting the crash is
12:28 pm
entirely within the power and control of their own governments. they're not, is in bystanders, their architects of this crisis, and it's just a matter of stepping not from the ledge, taking a deep breath and ending their self harming sanctions. but instead, as the e, you constantly points out. they're all united this time in their folly, and it seems increasingly like their intent on pulling all of their citizens down together with them. rachel mars than well, trade unions on community organizations in the u. k. have created they enough, is enough campaign to fight against the rising cost of living. they've made 5 demands to improve the situation. they say they want a real pay increase and pensions on benefits too much storing inflation. and they want to energy bills slash saying people can't afford another prices on. they're also demanding guaranteed food for everybody and to make the rich pay more by
