partner at the brunswick group as us pollster robert moran. we have two main stories this hour. breaking news in the past hour or so — a usjudge has ordered donald trump to pay more than $350 million in a fraud case and banned the former president from conducting business in new york for three years. our other big story today — international outrage over the death of leading kremlin critic alexei navalny in jail in russia, with president biden saying vladimir putin was responsible. huge reaction from world leaders. we'll bring you that. navalny�*s wife, yulia, has called for the world to unite in holding what she calls the "evil"

regime in moscow to account. plenty regime in moscow to account. more from moscow i we regime in moscow to account. will start with the fu donald we will start with the future of donald trump's family business after a judge in new york delivered a ruling in a civil trial. the former president has been ordered to pay over $350 million in penalties for overstating his wealth to get favourable loan terms. he also been banned from serving as a director of any new york corporation for three years. some reaction from the trump organisation which says... . the legal spokesperson for donald trump said this in a statement.

let's cross live now to new york. let's cross live to new york and our north america correspondent nada tawfik. this just thisjust in the this just in the last hour or so, what is the latest? thisjust in the last hour or so, what is the latest?— thisjust in the last hour or so, what is the latest? yeah, 'ust going throu~h what is the latest? yeah, 'ust going through more — what is the latest? yeah, 'ust going through more oft what is the latest? yeah, 'ust going through more of that _ what is the latest? yeah, just going through more of that verdict. - what is the latest? yeah, just going through more of that verdict. of- through more of that verdict. of course the top lines they are the fact that donald trump has been ordered to pay more than $350

million, a massive financial blow for him because it is far more than the cash he has on hand. many people are unaware, an orderfor donald trump to appeal this decision, he has to first prove to the court that that money is available, put it in a trust with the court to show that he can pay it, so that will open up many questions for him. will he have to sell assets? will he be able to secure a bond in order to avoid pay that full amount? many questions can be but what's clear is that this is a massive financial blow to donald trump. now he did kind of avoid the worst of the penalties that were envisioned here. thejudge has gone back on his original order to cancel the business certificates of the trump organisation. he says that thatis trump organisation. he says that that is no longer necessary. that was regarded as the corporate death penalty and would have seen donald trump having to dissolve parts of

his company, assess potential but thatis his company, assess potential but that is no longer necessary. instead the judge is setting that is no longer necessary. instead thejudge is setting up that is no longer necessary. instead the judge is setting up what he calls a two—tiered oversight. independent monitor is already in place within the organisation to report to the court. he is also say that a director of compliance will have to be instated as well. and then another part where donald trump made off better than he could have, the attorney general had wanted donald trump barred for life from the new york real estate industry. instead the judge has ordered the new york real estate industry. instead thejudge has ordered him to be banned from doing business in new york or serving on a corporation for three years, and he banned his two eldest sons, who are currently running the company, for two years. so a little bit of a mixed bag there, but nevertheless, as he read, that kind of fiery statement from the trump organisation calling this

an injustice. we have heard from donald trump's lawyer, donald trump jr, his eldest son saying again and repeating their claims that this was all politically motivated, saying that they will appeal this decision. we are also later expecting a statement from the attorney general letitia james. she'll be doing a press conference we will hear her take on this. but certainly from the judge, in very clear terms, hejust found donald trump off my arguments throughout this case unconvincing. he said that the defendants did not show remorse, that the fraud was clear and that there was an interest to protect the marketplace given new york if the financial capital of the world. ,, . , york if the financial capital of the world. ,, ._ , ., york if the financial capital of the world. ,, , , ., . world. stay there if you will and i want to bring _ world. stay there if you will and i want to bring in _ world. stay there if you will and i want to bring in one _ world. stay there if you will and i want to bring in one of _ world. stay there if you will and i want to bring in one of our - want to bring in one of our panelists, robert moran, republican strategist and pollster. what do you make of this? 50 strategist and pollster. what do you make of this?— make of this? so it's certainly a blow to the _ make of this? so it's certainly a blow to the trump _ make of this? so it's certainly a blow to the trump family - make of this? so it's certainly a blow to the trump family and l make of this? so it's certainly a| blow to the trump family and to truck_ blow to the trump family and to truck businesses. politically it's an open— truck businesses. politically it's

kind of political implications because donald trump has been using this line that the banks were paid, that there was no victim to kind of a rally his supporters. whereas under this new york statute, it's very clear that the attorney general is allowed to take action if there was fraud, even if there was not a victim. again this idea of needing to protect the marketplace. now donald trump has already signalled that he will appeal this decision through his lawyers, so that will be a process in and of itself. but again, what are the grounds for appeal? you know, many legal experts have speculated that if the judge did go as far as to dissolving those business certificates and cancelling them, once known as the corporate death penalty, that that could have given donald trump grounds for an appeal, kind of artery to the judge had gone too far. and i think when you look at this verdict, it very

much signals that the judge was conscious of not wanting to be reversed on appeal. defending every part of his order. so interesting to see on what grounds exactly donald trump's team feels they can appeal this and we will certainly have to be something beyond that this is politically motivated. although they signalled throughout the trial that they will try to argue that the judge was biased against them. but as i say, kind of the big issue for donald trump facing him immediately now is the fact that within 30 days he will have to deposit with the court this penalty in full if he wants to appeal. they can try to secure a body to die to pay that in full, but given not many people will see that he is good on collateral and because of the amount of interest and fees, that could be quite a complicated endeavour it for donald trump. there is also the question if he could fund raise this money and we have seen one of his

super pacs already paying tens of millions of dollars in legal fees, but to raise that type of money in just 30 days will certainly be difficult. . ~ just 30 days will certainly be difficult. ., ~ , ., . just 30 days will certainly be difficult. ., ~ . ., difficult. thank you so much for that. difficult. thank you so much for that- she'll _ difficult. thank you so much for that. she'll be _ difficult. thank you so much for that. she'll be staying - difficult. thank you so much for that. she'll be staying there - difficult. thank you so much for that. she'll be staying there forj difficult. thank you so much for i that. she'll be staying there for us keeping across any reaction or to the elements we get out of new york, thanks to our panelists robert and he will be back a little bit later. now the very latest on our other hugely significant story this hour. alexei navalny dead in prison, says the russian prison service. in moscow, people have been placing flowers at a memorial dedicated to victims of "political repression". the russian prosecutor's office has warned people against taking part in mass protest in the capital. but take a look at this. 0fficers immediately approached stop a one—woman demonstration.

they stepped in to stop her. the sign she carried read, "alexei navalny died today," but the police wouldn't allow it. they took her away as people continued to lay flowers, interestingly. there was officers at you so that physically stopping another man's protest, too. he was dragged away. 0ur russia editor steve rosenberg reports from moscow. smiling, crackingjokes. this was alexei navalny yesterday as he gave testimony from prison by video link. even court officials cracked a smile. today, russia's prison service announced that mr navalny was dead, claiming he'd lost consciousness inside this penal colony.

russian tv rarely mentions alexei navalny. it read out the prison service statement about his death and moved on to other news. he was vladimir putin's most vocal critic, a protest leader, an anti—corruption campaigner who'd long clashed with the kremlin. i remember this six years ago. alexei navalny is russia's most prominent opposition figure and president putin's most vocal critic. he's been barred from running in the presidential election. he's now being arrested by police. in 2020 in siberia, he'd been poisoned with a nerve agent and airlifted to germany for life—saving treatment. he accused the kremlin of trying to assassinate him, but as a politician, he felt he couldn't stay away from russia. when he returned the following year, he was arrested on arrival.

he'd been in prison ever since. his friends and family fearing for his safety. just hours after alexei navalny was reported dead, his wife, yulia, made a dramatic appearance at the munich security conference. she couldn't confirm his death, but... translation: if it's true, iwant putin and his whole entourage, l his friends and his government to know that they will be held responsible for everything they've done to our country, to my family and to my husband. and this day will come very soon. president putin, too, made an appearance today, meeting industrial workers. he made no mention of alexei navalny. alexei navalny was one of the most charismatic political figures in russia in modern times and the only opposition leader here who appeared capable of bringing large crowds on to the streets to protest

against the authorities. and for that reason, the kremlin saw him as a threat. he knew that by taking on the authorities, he was taking a risk. my message, for the situation when i am killed, is very simple — not give up. in memory of russia's most famous prisoner, some here lay flowers. by this simple act, their message — we will not forget. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. reaction has poured in from leaders around the world. let's hearfrom some of the most high—profile. make no mistake, putin is responsible for navalny�*s death. putin is responsible. what has happened to navalny is yet more proof of putin's brutality. we should hold putin accountable for this, and no—one should be in any doubt about the dreadful nature

of putin's regime in russia. russia has serious . questions to answer. alexei navalny has been i a strong voice for freedom, for democracy for many years, and nato and nato allies have| called for his immediate release for a long time. | the world has lost a freedom fighter in alexei navalny. we will honour his name, and in his name, we will stand up for democracy and for our values. translation: putin does not care who dies as long - as he retains his position, and that is why he must not keep anything. putin must lose everything. he must not retain anything. he must be held accountable for what he has done. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucetjoins us now from the munich security conference. first of all could you just explain

the unread first edition copy of the philosopher's stone was given to an rspca shop in the isle of wight and will go under the hammer on the 26th of february. funds from the sale will go towards the charity's isle of wight branch, with a dog named harry among the beneficiaries. you're live with bbc news. i want to replay pictures we had a few minutes agojust i want to replay pictures we had a few minutes ago just to get some absolute clarity on what we were watching here. there has been a feat of life pictures from moscow, people coming out and laying flowers and this is after the news of the death of alexei navalny. but then there was one incident with a woman holding up a sign. let's take a look at that. officers immediately they're stepping in. she was holding they're stepping in. she was holding the sign in that sign read alexei navalny died today. the police would

not allow it and they took her away. and then this is a separate incident, just to be absolutely clear. looks like the police more physically there stopping another man's protest. he, too, it was dragged away said to different people involved there, just to be clear. let's bring in our panel now. former labour mp caroline flint, robert moran, republican strategist and pollsterjoining us from washington, and sam greene, professor of russian politics at king's college london. thank you all for being with us. sam, can i start with you? what is your assessment of what has been an extraordinary day? taste your assessment of what has been an extraordinary day?— extraordinary day? we are in this continuous _ extraordinary day? we are in this continuous position _ extraordinary day? we are in this continuous position i _ extraordinary day? we are in this continuous position i think - extraordinary day? we are in this continuous position i think of - extraordinary day? we are in this i continuous position i think of being shocked and not surprised. it is hard at the same time to not being moved and highly disturbed and not to feel that this is a turning point of sorts. and yet of course navalny

knew that he was heading into a dangerous situation, knew that it was likely he would not survive prison. i think all of his supporters and family members knew it was like that he would not survive, and he of course is not the first russia opposition leader or journalist or crusader for democracy and freedom who has met this kind of and freedom who has met this kind of a fate. but it is brazen, as your report was saying earlier. nobody has posed that kind of a challenge to putin that navalny has. let’s to putin that navalny has. let's brint in to putin that navalny has. let's bring in our _ to putin that navalny has. let's bring in our panel. _ to putin that navalny has. let's bring in our panel. caroline, . to putin that navalny has. let's bring in our panel. caroline, what do you make of thatjustice sam was outlining there, the extraordinary bravery of the man?— bravery of the man? incredible brave . bravery of the man? incredible bravery- so — bravery of the man? incredible bravery. so so _ bravery of the man? incredible bravery. so so many _ bravery of the man? incredible bravery. so so many have - bravery of the man? incredible bravery. so so many have left| bravery of the man? incredible - bravery. so so many have left russia to continue _ bravery. so so many have left russia to continue their opposition from afar, _ to continue their opposition from afar. but— to continue their opposition from afar, but he went back after let's not forget — afar, but he went back after let's not forget being poisoned and then receiving _ not forget being poisoned and then receiving treatment in berlin. he then— receiving treatment in berlin. he then went —

to 1—2 degrees across the far north—east of scotland. for most, though, 6—8 celsius. so saturday starts off largely fine. this weak weather front will bring a band of clouds, some spots of rain, but it's these weatherfronts moving in behind later on which will bring the more substantial rain, with stronger winds here. so quite a lot of cloud, scotland, northern england, some splashes of rain with that weak weather front there. there will be some holes in the clouds to allow for some sunny spells again, but then the rain, stronger winds push into northern ireland. that spreads across the irish sea into western britain as we head into the afternoon. the temperatures could be up to ia, maybe 15 degrees in the warmest spots, but all areas will be in double figures. then through saturday evening, saturday night, that rain, wind spreads across the country. it will tend to clear from scotland and northern ireland, bar the odd shower, but it will take its time to clear away from england and wales. so it could stay quite wet by the end of saturday night across the south—east. temperatures coming down a little bit in the north, double figures in the south.

sunday, then, these weatherfronts will take their time to clear england and wales. bit of a question mark on the speed they do clear, but at the moment, it looks like it could be quite cloudy and wet to start sunday across much of england and wales. slowly, skies will brighten from the west, but there could be a hangback of that rain across parts of eastern england, east anglia and the south—east. but elsewhere, not a bad—looking day, i think, to come for sunday with some sunshine around. temperatures maybe a degree or so down in the north, but again, at 14—15 degrees across the south, so well above where we should be for the time of year. into the new week, it does stay on the mild side. increasing chance of rain and stronger winds towards the end of the week, where we'll also start to see temperatures coming down a little bit.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. donald trump is ordered to pay more than $350 million in penalties in a landmark civil fraud case in new york. we start with that news. a new york judge ordered the former president to pay more than $350 million in his civilfraud trial. it's to pay more than $350 million in his civil fraud trial. it's for overstating his net worth to fraud

lenders.
