by a new yorkjudge in a landmark fraud case. mr trump says he will appeal against the fine. hello, this is bbc news. we begin with international outrage at the news that the most prominent opposition leader in russia, alexei navalny, has died suddenly in jail. more than 100 are reported to have been detained in cities across russia. shrines in honour of mr navalny have also appeared across russia, in defiance of the authorities. alexei navalny was 47 years old and was president vladimir putin's most prominent and outspoken critic. he'd survived an almost fatal poisoning years ago, and he'd beenjailed on extremism charges that were politically motivated. in the us, presidentjoe biden said that president putin was responsible

for mr navalny�*s death and that it was yet more proof of his brutality. the bbc�*s sarah rainsford has this report for us. alexei navalny was a man who dared to speak out in a country where dissent is dangerous. as news of the opposition activist�*s death spread, russians gathered to remember him. no mass protest or public fury, just silent tribute at monuments to victims of political repression. there were shouts of "shame" as this man was dragged off by police. but mostly people seemed stunned. i was seeing the news on my phone. my first reaction was, like, it'sjust a joke. but the news came more and more and more. and i was crying for one hour. i was with my friends

and i was broken. i really thought that it couldn't happen. like, never. for alexei navalny�*s wife, this news had long been feared. translation: if it is true, i want vladimir putin, - his entourage, his friends and government to know that they will be held responsible. alexei navalny knew his politics put him in the firing line. his campaign against corruption could rally big crowds. he denounced vladimir putin and his team as "crooks and thieves". arresting him became almost routine. then three years ago navalny fell desperately ill on a plane. tests in germany revealed he had been poisoned with the novichok. when he recovered he returned to russia and was sent to prison.

the criminal charges started to pile up to keep him there. navalny had been in court just a day before his death, appearing via video link from prison. his persistent cheer was in itself an act of resistance. there was no obvious sign of any sickness, but the prison service say he was out walking the next day when he collapsed and died suddenly. for vladimir putin, it was just another day. he spent it meeting factory workers with lots of smiles and no mention of navalny. but beyond russia's borders there was condemnation. 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. no—one should be fooled, not in russia, not at home, not anywhere in the world.

journalists used to ask navalny constantly if he was afraid for his life and he would brush the question off. then, two years ago, he was asked for his message to supporters if he was killed. for the situation when i am killed, it is very simple — not give up. without navalny, though, the future for all russians who hoped for change, has never looked bleaker. let's speak to correspondent oleg boldyrev in riga. thank oleg boldyrev in riga. you so much for your time. could thank you so much for your time. could you give us the international reaction from world leaders at the news of the death of alexei navalny? most of it already came yesterday. international leaders from the american president, to european leaders, and leaders of the baltic countries where the first to speak out. they condemned putin and the

russian government saying that whatever the exact reason for the death of navalny, the response ability for keeping him safe lay squarely with the russian government, and that russia will be responsible for his departure. so far, there is no official confirmation for what exactly has happened. there is a very scant information coming out of the prison. information coming out of the rison. ~ ., , information coming out of the rison. ~ .,, ., ,., ., prison. we hope to get some more soon. there's been a lot of consternation, as you say, but realistically, what are the possible consequences for russia after the death of alexei navalny, even if world leaders are saying they hold president putin responsible? saying they hold president putin responsible?_ saying they hold president putin resonsible? , , . . , , responsible? yes, this criticism is laid at the — responsible? yes, this criticism is laid at the door— responsible? yes, this criticism is laid at the door which _ responsible? yes, this criticism is laid at the door which has - responsible? yes, this criticism is laid at the door which has been i laid at the door which has been firmly closed by the russian government in that regard. probably not much will come out. this is a symbolic and important point, that

russian authorities were responsible for him. but after so many sanctions, russia has endured, it is not clear what else could be done to put pressure on vladimir putin and his government. find put pressure on vladimir putin and his government.— his government. and so could you exlain, his government. and so could you explain, because _ his government. and so could you explain, because you _ his government. and so could you explain, because you are - his government. and so could you | explain, because you are reporting from latvia right now, could you explain what the situation is in russia, what this tells us about the level of repression there when it comes to the critics of putin? you can see the _ comes to the critics of putin? you can see the pictures, _ comes to the critics of putin? 7m. can see the pictures, the crowds are gathering to commemorate alexei navalny and they are seen outside of russia, but inside russia, small groups of people carrying one or two flowers, timidly approaching the memorials set up to commemorate victims of the stalin era and that's the best they could do. lay the flowers, set the candles and hope not to be detained. those hopes were in vain for dozens of people

yesterday, in most cases in st petersburg. some were detained, and some are still in custody. because russian authorities deemed navalny extremist, the organisation which he set up undesirable, a mere association with those can potentially carry a lengthy prison sentence. so people in russia who come out to commemorate navalny they are risking very much and that is the extent of their freedoms, or lack of freedoms, that they have now. . ~' lack of freedoms, that they have now. ., ~ , ., lack of freedoms, that they have now. ., ~ i. lack of freedoms, that they have now. ., ~ . ., lack of freedoms, that they have now. ., . ., now. thank you so much for your time. let's speak to mariana katzarova, the un special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the russian federation. thank you forjoining the programme. i know you are an independent for the un, but in your view, does the

united nations consider russia responsible for alexei navalny �*s death? responsible for alexei navalny 's death? , . ~ responsible for alexei navalny 's death? , ., ~ , responsible for alexei navalny 's death? , ., ~' , ., , ., responsible for alexei navalny 's death? , ., , ., ., death? yes, thank you. yes, i am an independent — death? yes, thank you. yes, i am an independent expert _ death? yes, thank you. yes, i am an independent expert but _ death? yes, thank you. yes, i am an independent expert but it _ death? yes, thank you. yes, i am an independent expert but it is - death? yes, thank you. yes, i am an independent expert but it is a - independent expert but it is a system of the united nations and it is the government, members of the un, that actually vote for any mandate, including mine. so i am the first ever special rapido of the united nations of human rights in russia. it is an important step forward for the united nations and this is the first mandate to monitor the human rights situation and this is a huge step for the un. in terms of alexei navalny, i have made

repeated statements, i took office on may the 1st last year, and all this time we called for the immediate release of alexei navalny, to give him medical care, to release his lawyers who were detained last year. you know, to immediately release him not to charge him with this nonsense, the charges of extremism. together with his defence lawyers. and i think that was important calls, but of course they fell to deaf ears with the russian authorities. we should definitely remember it is notjust navalny. navalny is really the iconic figure of the russian descent, and the most i would say brave political leader who dared speak years ago, and all this time, against the policies of the russian authorities, against the

corruption of them, of the ones in power. and for this he paid with imprisonment, i9 power. and for this he paid with imprisonment, 19 years that he was sentence. , ., , ., sentence. sorry to interrupt. to our sentence. sorry to interrupt. to your point. — sentence. sorry to interrupt. to your point. you _ sentence. sorry to interrupt. to your point, you said _ sentence. sorry to interrupt. to your point, you said that - sentence. sorry to interrupt. to your point, you said that these | your point, you said that these international calls have been falling on deaf ears. so what more can actually be done? can there actually be any consequences when something like this happens, or can the kremlin essentially keep acting when it comes to the repression you are describing, with impunity? fist are describing, with impunity? git the moment, the two important things that need to be done in the name of navalny, first in all there should be justice for navalny, first in all there should bejustice for him, and navalny, first in all there should be justice for him, and the circumstances must be established of his death. always when a prisoner

dies in custody, first and foremost the presumption is the state is responsible. until proven otherwise through an independent from the state investigation, so the russian authorities have to allow it immediately. the second thing in his name should be, and i have called yesterday with a big group of my colleagues who joined me, yesterday with a big group of my colleagues whojoined me, special rapporteurs of the united nations, to release immediately all political prisoners in russia. instead the russian authorities, today up to 100 people, including journalists, were detained in russia by police all over russia while trying to lay flowers to commemorate navalny. and i think instead of releasing political prisoners in russia, they increase the number by detaining more people. next week we are commemorating the beginning of the

fully fledged invasion of ukraine by russia. two years since the beginning of the war against ukraine. the majority of the political prisoners in russia have voiced their descent, and have voiced their descent, and have voiced their descent, and have voiced their feelings against the wall. they paid the price and have been detained. i am particularly concerned about those whose health had been deteriorating through the torturous conditions in detention, like navalny. there are several who have received lengthy punishment in cells, incommunicado... to have received lengthy punishment in cells, incommunicado...— cells, incommunicado... to that oint. .. cells, incommunicado... to that point... about _ cells, incommunicado... to that point... about the _ cells, incommunicado... to that point... about the fate - cells, incommunicado... to that point... about the fate that - cells, incommunicado. .. to that i point... about the fate that these people have faced, quickly before we leave you because unfortunately we are running out of time, what are you concerned about when it comes to

the lawyers for alexei navalny? the? the lawyers for alexei navalny? they need to be the lawyers for alexei navalny? tue: need to be released the lawyers for alexei navalny? tte: need to be released immediately. three of them in october were detained and they are in prison now awaiting trial on charges of extremism and under international law this is a nonsense. two of his additional lawyers, who are at the moment in exile, three days ago were sentenced to detention and imprisonment, awaiting trial by a russian court. so i think was very worrying, it is navalny �*s lawyers but it is also a number of russian human rights lawyers that are on target by the authorities because how do you dismantle the rule of law question what you silent civil society, you dismantle the independent media, which has been donein independent media, which has been done in russia by the authorities. particularly over the past two

years. and the last thing is people could not have a proper defence when they are victims of human rights violations. that's a calculated machine of regression. i am extremely worried. in behalf of navalny, we need to continue. thank ou so navalny, we need to continue. thank you so much for— navalny, we need to continue. thank you so much for your _ navalny, we need to continue. thank you so much for your time. _ you so much for your time. thank you very much. two years ago, the documentary film "navalny" was released — it went on to win an oscar. in it, alexei navalny was asked the question — if he were to be killed, what message would he want to leave? my message for the situation when i am killed _ my message for the situation when i am killed is— my message for the situation when i am killed is very simple. not give up. am killed is very simple. not give u n . ., am killed is very simple. not give u. ., am killed is very simple. not give u . _ ., ., , ., , , am killed is very simple. not give u. ., ., , up. you may answer this one in russian- _

there. world leaders and diplomats are in munich for high—level debates on the world's most pressing security challenges. this morning's session will be also attended by german chancellor olaf scholz, european commission president ursula von der leyen and china's foreign minister wang yi. ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy spoke ahead of the summit calling on europe to respond to russian president putin. he now openlyjustifies hitler, absolving him of responsibility for world war ii. and he has made the genocide of our people just an ordinary part of his policy. putin kills whoever he wants, be it an opposition leader or anyone else who seems the target exactly to him. after the murder of alexei navalny, it's absurd to perceive putin

as a supposedly legitimate head of the russian state. our chief correspondent, lyse doucet is in munich for us and had this update. it's day two of this premier international security gathering, which was a bolt out of the blue yesterday. the news that shot like a bolt of electricity that alexei navalny was dead, russian president putin's most prominent critic. and here on day two, a rainy day here in munich, as you can see, it is still casting a dark shadow over these discussions. russia was always going to be on the agenda here because the war in ukraine, approaching its second year mark, is high on the agenda of defence chiefs and top diplomats, presidents and prime ministers from europe, from the united states and canada, and far beyond.

the death of navalny has concentrated minds here, including prominent politicians who came from britain a short while ago. i spoke to the chair of the select committee and the houses of parliament and a year ago she called for more sanctions against russia, lest she said alexei navalny died in prison. i asked for her reaction to his death. it i asked for her reaction to his death. . , . i asked for her reaction to his death. ., , ., , ., i asked for her reaction to his death. ., , ., ,., ., i asked for her reaction to his death. .,, ., ., , ~ ., death. it was a bolt of shock and heartbreak. _ death. it was a bolt of shock and heartbreak, and _ death. it was a bolt of shock and heartbreak, and i _ death. it was a bolt of shock and heartbreak, and i think- death. it was a bolt of shock and heartbreak, and i think the - death. it was a bolt of shock and | heartbreak, and i think the tenor death. it was a bolt of shock and i heartbreak, and i think the tenor of the debate — heartbreak, and i think the tenor of the debate this year has been one of resolve, _ the debate this year has been one of resolve, but — the debate this year has been one of resolve, but we must stand by our ukrainian — resolve, but we must stand by our ukrainian friends and we must give them _ ukrainian friends and we must give them not _ ukrainian friends and we must give them notjust enough to ukrainian friends and we must give them not just enough to survive, but to wind _ them not just enough to survive, but to wind that — them not just enough to survive, but to wind. that has hardened since the heartbreaking news because we all know _ heartbreaking news because we all know that — heartbreaking news because we all know that this was a murder. britain has tied _ know that this was a murder. britain has tied to _ know that this was a murder. britain has tied to murder navalny multiple times, _ has tied to murder navalny multiple times, and — has tied to murder navalny multiple times, and the reason is to sell is that dream — times, and the reason is to sell is that dream of freedom that he represented. the - represented. the chair of the foreign affairs select committee in the british houses of parliament there. that kind of support will be expressed to

president zelensky in public and in private here at the munich security conference when he comes to this premier security gathering, knowing that what he is hearing from his commanders on the front lines, that they are even running out of bullets. they don't have the weaponry they need to continue fighting this war. so he will certainly be emphasising here, as he does at every turn, that the words are very nice, they are good to hear, but he needs to know that the arms and ammunition, the financial support, is still coming if ukraine is to stand any chance at all of holding the territory that it has, and as the months go on, to take back the territory now under russian control. in hungary, prime minister viktor orban is due to deliver his annual state of the nation address, after a week of unprecedented political turmoil in the country. several senior officials have resigned, including the head of state, in a scandal over child protection. and a large demonstration against his policies has taken place.

let's go live to budapest, we can speak to our central europe correspondent nick thorpe. could you give us the context here? why has this become such a big threat to viktor orban? basically, child protection, the protection of the traditional family, has been a cornerstone of his policy for the last ia years in government. so in a way, no one expected this to become his achilles' heel, and for him to lose such popular and successful politicians as the head of state, the formerjustice minister, a top bishop, and so that is why it has been so painfulfor him. he is also not used to being on the defensive, and for the last week we have not actually seen the prime minister, so i think now in this state of the union address, state of the nation address, we will be expecting him to

try to take back control of the narrative, draw a line under the paedophile scandal, and say look, we have taken the consequences for this, we have taken response ability for it, our people have resigned so let's get on. politically, this is important for him. we are four months ahead of the very important local and european elections. he really wants to end this subject while critics of the government want to keep it on the agenda and they still have questions about how clemency was granted. can still have questions about how clemency was granted. can you tell us about some _ clemency was granted. can you tell us about some of _ clemency was granted. can you tell us about some of the _ clemency was granted. can you tell us about some of the protests - clemency was granted. can you tell us about some of the protests that | us about some of the protests that have happened in response to this scandal? . �* , , have happened in response to this scandal? ., �* , , ., , ., scandal? that's right. this was a big protest _ scandal? that's right. this was a big protest with _ scandal? that's right. this was a big protest with up _ scandal? that's right. this was a big protest with up to _ scandal? that's right. this was a big protest with up to 50,000 i scandal? that's right. this was a - big protest with up to 50,000 people yesterday. they were saying that this is not an anti—government protest as such, theyjust this is not an anti—government protest as such, they just want a different style of government. they want genuine child protection. they want genuine child protection. they want an end to this sort of mud slinging, especially from the government �*s side. anti lgbtq,

anti—migrant, anti—brussels. they say the government �*s policies are weak on rhetoric but strong on genuine policies which would protect the nation's children, whether in state orphanages, or even from domestic violence. and some of the concern here is also for viktor orban who made family values one of his core principles, didn't he? . v values one of his core principles, didn't he?— didn't he? that's right. this has been important _ didn't he? that's right. this has been important because - didn't he? that's right. this has been important because this . been important because this government passed in 2021 a child protection law, toughening the measures, sanctions against paedophiles, for example. his critics say that is not enough, that there is still an enormous amount of hidden sexual violence in this country, and that his policies are strong on rhetoric, but what is going on those state orphanages, was going on those state orphanages, was going on those state orphanages, was going on in terms of domestic violence, so his critics want a

proper examination by the government. they want genuine child protection. he says he is doing very well and he wants to get beyond this issue now. nick, thank you. donald trump has been ordered to pay more than $350 million in penalties in his civilfraud case in new york. he's been found to have unlawfully inflated the value of his wealth — to secure more favourable loans and insurance terms. he's also been barred from acting as a company director in new york state for three years. his lawyer called the ruling a politically motivated witchhunt, and said he would appeal. will vernon reports from washington skyscrapers in new york. a beachfront estate in florida. donald trump's property portfolio looks impressive, but how much is it all really worth? ajudge has ruled not as much as mr trump said it was. he must now pay a huge sum and will be banned from doing business in new york

for three years. the former president reacted to the ruling with fury, and said he would appeal. it all comes down to biden — his witch—hunt against his political opponent, the likes of which our country has never seen before. you see it in third world countries, banana republics, but you don't see it here. mr trump has called the prosecutor in the case corrupt and racist. we are holding him accountable for lying, cheating, and a lack of contrition, and for flouting the rules that all of us must play by. because there cannot be different rules for different people in this country — and former presidents are no exception. this case cuts to the heart of donald trump �*s identity as billionaire businessman and successful deal—maker. it was his

property empire that he used to launch his entire political career. for donald trump, this was personal. donald trump's wallet was already feeling lighter after last month when he was ordered to pay more than £60 million to writer ejean carroll for defaming her. and he still faces dozens of charges in four other cases, including for alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. we will see you on the trail! thank you much, everybody. mr trump is hoping his legal troubles don't harm his chances at the ballot box. so far, they only seem to have made him stronger. will vernon, bbc news, washington. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. after a dry and mild start to the day, the afternoon for most of us is not looking too bad, but cloud will thicken through the afternoon, and out towards the west it will already be raining by early

afternoon, i think, already be raining by early afternoon, ithink, and if already be raining by early afternoon, i think, and if you look at the satellite picture you can see at the satellite picture you can see a weather front sweeping towards the uk, and that clearer weatherjust ahead of it. so i think some brightness along the east coast, may be around the midlands and the south—east. this is around for pm today, but out west you can see it is wet and on top of that it will be windy as well. where you see the green splodges, that's where the rain is heavier, for example around the lake district. south—western scotland, northern ireland and into the western isles. but around the north—east of scotland it is still relatively bright on saturday. temperatures in the north around ten, but closer to ia or 15 in the south. all of us are in for some rain tonight. it will be quite heavy, and particularly heavy in the south of the country through the early hours of sunday morning. and it will be a mild night. in scotland and aberdeen around seven celsius, ten in liverpool. that's the morning temperature on sunday. 12 degrees in

the south. we are uncertain as to how soon this rain is going to clear from east anglia and the south—east. yes, a wet start for many of us for sure, but that weather front could drag its heels around this corner of the country. i think by the time we get to early afternoon we should be mostly sunny for all of us, and certainly the further north and west you are. 12 in glasgow, 13 in birmingham, and around 13 in plymouth. on monday, a week weather front will sweep across the country, and then high pressure will build. the week weather front in the morning will produce showers for a time, then the skies will clear it later on in the day. temperatures about what we have been used to, may be a shade lower. nine in stornoway, around ten in liverpool, 13 also in london. if you are planning the week, it is looking unsettled. it's going to be often wet and windy with

damages still into double figures. at the end of the week ahead it could turn a little colder. —— temperatures still into double figures.
