Darya Trepova, a 26-year-old accused of killing a military blogger and supporter of Moscow's Ukraine offensive, appears in court for her case's first hearing.

Ukraine has denied involvement and blamed domestic infighting for the killing. IMAGES
Russian scientists teamed up with Special Forces in Voronezh on Tuesday to test a special quadcopter which they claim is controlled entirely by one's eye movements. At the heart of the technology is an augmented reality helmet that displays video both from the drone and from a camera mounted at the front of the helmet, allowing the user to see ahead while controlling the drone. Special sensors inside the helmet track eye movements and convert those movements into commands for the drone.

The action took place on the grounds of the Zhukovsky airfield outside Moscow, and featured some of the world's fastest four-wheeled vehicles racing different aircraft on the race track in a mini event called the Festival of Speed.
