Ukraine claims killing of Russian chemical weapons general in Moscow e-scooter bomb

Ukraine has claimed responsibility for an e-scooter bomb that killed a top Russian general in Moscow on Tuesday.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, chief of Russia’s nuclear, biological and chemical protection troops, and his assistant were killed by an explosive hidden inside the electric transport device outside Kirillov's apartment as they exited the building.

In part two, a High Court judge has ruled that the alleged Chinese spy at the heart of a scandal about access to Prince Andrew can now be named as Yang Tengbo, a 50-year-old “close confidant” of the Duke of York who denies the claim.

The businessman, named in an immigration tribunal appeal hearing, was banned from the UK over national security fears that he could compromise the royal amid Yang's access to the heart government.
