ina in a video posted monday to social media. yulia continued to continue his fight for a free russia. she declared vladimir putin responsible and says she knows exactly why alexei was killed, vowing to name names and show faces in future. the kremlin denies involvement. our eastern europe correspondent gave us her analysis on the decision to come out against vladimir putin and what this might mean for yulia's future. it and what this might mean for yulia's future.— yulia's future. it is remarkable. - yulia's future. it is remarkable. yulia| yulia's future. it is - remarkable. yulia navalny stepped dramatically into the spotlight with this speech. her grief so raw, sometimes it was difficult to watch. it's her fury she says leads her to say she can continue her husband's cause. i think for many in,

many supporters of the russian opposition, feeling despondent, they will have found it uplifting. she has a certain moral authority. can she go forward as a political leader? she is abroad. after she called vladimir putin a "killer" she would find it dangerous to to go back now. as for navalny�*s political organisation, it's banned as extremist. his close allies are either in prison, like he was, or abroad for their safety. vladimir putin has spent the past two decades systematically crushing all political opposition in the country. of course, over the past few days, we have seen people bringing flowers and tributes to navalny, people who want change in russia, sympathetic to his cause. yulia navalnaya called on them to

punch vladimir putin's regime. i think the fear is very strong and the sense of pointlessness and the sense of pointlessness and of course, it was alexei navalny who punched the hardest and paid an extremely high price. and paid an extremely high rice. �* , and paid an extremely high rice, �*, ., ., , and paid an extremely high rice. a . . ,_ , , price. as navalny sympathisers in russia face _ price. as navalny sympathisers in russia face punishment, - price. as navalny sympathisers in russia face punishment, the| in russia face punishment, the bbc�*s russia editor reports on the whereabouts of his body. for three days now, she's been trying to recover her son's body, but alexei navalny�*s mother — here in the middle — was told that investigators are not ready to release it or even where the body is. 11 a clue perhaps, caught on cctv in the dead of night near mr navalny�*s remote penal colony — a prison convoy heading to a nearby town, just hours after the announcement of his death. it's thought this midnight motorcade may have been transporting his body. alexei navalny was an ambitious politician, promising a brighter future for russia. he once tried to run

for president. he ended up in prison. now he's dead. in a video statement filmed abroad, his widow yulia accused the kremlin of killing him and vowed to continue his fight to change russia. translation: having killed alexei, putin killed half of me, half of my heart and half of my soul. but i still have the other half, and that tells me i have no right to give up. i will continue the work of alexei navalny, continue to fight for our country. today, yulia navalnaya was in brussels, meeting european foreign ministers. for years, she's kept a low profile. now she's vowing to unite opposition to vladimir putin. and the kremlin — what has it been saying about the death of its staunchest critic? very little. president putin has yet

to make any public comments about the death of alexei navalny, but today the kremlin spokesman described accusations that it was the russian leadership that killed him as "obnoxious and utterly unacceptable". at this makeshift shrine to alexei navalny, we discovered that many of the floral tributes have been cleared away. and yet muscovites were still coming here to honour the man who called for change but would never live to see it. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. outside russia vigils for navalny�*s death continue. hundreds gathered in rome to attend a candleit will vigil, mourning the death while demanding vladimir putin be held accountable. we just heard that jyulia spent they day with

eu officials, who are talking about this. russian diplomats from a number of countries are demanding answers. the eu foreign policy chief said that navalny had been slowly murdered by putin's regime. a charge the kremlin denies. he says in talks with yulia he expressed the eu deepest condolences and said the eu wanted to support the political opposition in russia. by political opposition in russia. by coming to russia, yulia has taken another step in the political spotlight. poland's foreign minister said she appeared composed and determined to continue her husband's fight for a freer russia. there's been calls here in brussels for more sanctions on russia over the deaths of mr navalny and it was suggested

that might include sanctionings of people in the russian prison service. the eu's options are somewhat limited, possibly. there are already unprecedented sanctions on russia over its war with ukraine, and there was no immediate suggestion of any more hard—hitting sanctions that might hurt russia's economy. well, alexei was one of the most outspoken critics and this this week is two years since the invasion. as russian forces advance in the east and the us congress delays new funding, there are concerns over what a third year of conflict could bring. andrew harding returned to the front—line to find out how people are coping. we have come back to a front—line town, a place seized

by russia forces and liberated by russia forces and liberated by ukraine in 20226789 since then the closest front—lines are up the road still. this was alexander with his cats. �* ., �* �* his cats. andrew, from bbc? today he _ his cats. andrew, from bbc? today he is _ his cats. andrew, from bbc? today he is still— his cats. andrew, from bbc? today he is still here. - his cats. andrew, from bbc? today he is still here. "yes, | his cats. andrew, from bbc? j today he is still here. "yes, i remember_ today he is still here. "yes, i remember you", today he is still here. "yes, i rememberyou", he says. he shows me the wreckage of his old apartment block hit by russian missiles. he says he sees this war differently now. i he says he sees this war differently now.- he says he sees this war differently now. i want peace, eace, differently now. i want peace, peace. peace- _ differently now. i want peace, peace, peace. has— differently now. i want peace, peace, peace. has your- differently now. i want peace, l peace, peace. has your opinion changed? _ peace, peace. has your opinion changed? changed, _ peace, peace. has your opinion changed? changed, many - peace, peace. has your opinion - changed? changed, many changed. this is interesting. _ changed? changed, many changed. this is interesting. he _ changed? changed, many changed. this is interesting. he changed - this is interesting. he changed his opinion over the course of the last year. before he said that ukraine has to win this war and now he's saying there's too much death and suffering, he wanteds talks, even if it means giving up land. peace is more important than victory.

you can feel the weariness on the streets here. british aid distributed here, mostly to pensioners who ignore the sound of another explosion on the front—line. "our youth are being exterminated. if this continues, there will be no ukraine left". "this war will go on for a long time yet". it's not all gloom. council workers are doing what they can and a younger generation is getting on with life. school is mostly online, but not entirely. "i have everything i need", she says a year ago we found families hiding in cellars. today this family are still here. there's regular

electricity now. water from a electricity now. waterfrom a pump electricity now. water from a pump outside and this accountant is quietly determined. "we are waiting for victory", we are tired. "i don't see how we are tired. "i don't see how we can negotiate with murderers". still, the mayor is worried that america will stop supplying weapons to the ukrainian troops protecting his town. "we're fighting a monster", says alexander. "so, we need more outside military help. our soldiers are and ammunition". in small town... — it is suffering from sheer exhaustion. the knowledge that this war will not be quickly

won and increasingly the fear that ukraine's fate may yet be decided by foreign politicians in far away capitals. le andrew harding, bbc news, in eastern ukraine. israel condemned brazil's president after he accused israel of committing genocide in gaza, comparing its actions to the holocaust. the comments were described as anti—semitic. the mainjewish organisation in brazil criticised the comments. the brazilian president is described as persona nons grata in diplomatic terms, considered not welcome for official visits after he made comments at a summit in addis adaba where he

compared israel's actions in the gaza strip to the holocaust, that he said it was a genocide and there had not been actions like this in the course of history except when the nazis decided to kill the jews. these comments were strongly condemn bid the israeli government. the israel foreign minister at a holocaust memorial injerusalem told memorial in jerusalem told brazil's memorial injerusalem told brazil's ambassador to israel he would be considered a persona non grata unless the brazilian president decided to withdraw the comments. the brazilian foreign ministry did not respond well to that. they equally summoned the israeli ambassadorfor a meeting in rio to discuss this. certainly, this is a tense moment for both countries over this particular issue, ahead of the g20 in rio this week, where all the g20 nations are meant to be meeting, gathering and discussing what the g20�*s role is when it comes to tackling

international tensions of which the war in israel and gaza will be a key topic. meanwhile all eu states except hungary are backing a halt in military operations in southern gaza. israeli defence force troops entered nasar hospital in khan younis saying that intelligence said that hostages were there. the world health organization says it is desperate there i spoke to the regional emergency director at the who. rick twho was able to access the medical complex over the weekend. tell us more about what the situation is like there? well, i think we — situation is like there? well, i think we have _ situation is like there? well, i think we have to _ situation is like there? well, i think we have to look - situation is like there? well, i think we have to look at - i think we have to look at nasser medical cop flex in the context of the broader health system across gaza. the health system across gaza. the health system has been massively degraded in the course of the war, from 36 hospitals now, we are down to around 13 functioning. they're only minimally or partially functioning. that includes

nasser. nasser medical complex became one of the main referral hospitals for people in gaza, particularly throughout the war it's been under siege. that's from the israeli military over the last week or so. that means that access for health staff, for patients and for supplies, medical supplies, fuel and so on, has been extremely limited. so, when our team arrived, they found a non—functional hospital. there were an estimated 180 patients in there, probably around 15 staff. very little electricity, very little in the way of supplies no, running water. wow. �* . , supplies no, running water. wow. �* ., , ., , wow. and what they did was, the did wow. and what they did was, they did a _ wow. and what they did was, they did a rapid _ wow. and what they did was, they did a rapid assessment i wow. and what they did was, l they did a rapid assessment of they did a rapid assessment of the needs. they identified 1a patients for evacuation and

they successfully evacuated them to about five other hospitals in the south. they have got them back again late this afternoon to do another evacuation. we're waiting on the reports from that mission. they described is essentially a non—functioning hospital, desperate situation, medical staff who have done truly heroics, but against enormous odds. w' . heroics, but against enormous odds. ., ., ., odds. rick, i want to ask you, something — odds. rick, i want to ask you, something i — odds. rick, i want to ask you, something i saw _ odds. rick, i want to ask you, something i saw in _ odds. rick, i want to ask you, something i saw in the - something i saw in the statement from the who after gaining access was that there is an acute shortage of food, oxygen, basic medical supplies. how difficult it is to get these into nasser? it’s how difficult it is to get these into nasser? it's been under siege. _ these into nasser? it's been under siege, essentially. - these into nasser? it's been l under siege, essentially. over the undersiege, essentially. over the last few days, we asked for access on a number of occasions. we had the requests denied twice. we got access, as you indicated, over the weekend. again, late this afternoon. essentially nasser and other hospitals are choked

off from supply lines. it's been incredibly difficult to get there, as you indicate. medicines, food, water, fuel which is essential for running the generators, etc. so there's a minimalfueland the generators, etc. so there's a minimalfuel and one of the back—up generators has been working a bit. all the inputs required to run a hospital have beenin required to run a hospital have been in extremely short supply and hence this critically important health facility is rendered non—functional. important health facility is rendered non-functional. let's look. . . rendered non-functional. let's look- -- we _ rendered non-functional. let's look... we are _ rendered non-functional. let's look... we are in _ rendered non-functional. let's look... we are in the - rendered non-functional. let's look... we are in the process i look... we are in the process to find other _ look... we are in the process to find other hospitals - look... we are in the process to find other hospitals to - to find other hospitals to which we can transfer patients. i want tojump in there. there are essentially 13 partially functioning hospitals, you say. if we look at the big picture, more than one million displaced in gaza. if they need medical attention, these civilianss there somewhere they can go at this point?— this point? the hospitals, of the 36,

this point? the hospitals, of the 36. only _ this point? the hospitals, of the 36, only 13 _ this point? the hospitals, of the 36, only 13 partially - the 36, only 13 partially function. the access to the individuals patients, that they have to healthcare, will depend on the security environment. so what we have seen is progressively, as we had expanding military operations, you know, even if hospitals are not directly attacked, in the instance nasser, it's essentially under siege. patients have not been able to access that facility. we have seen the same such as in the north. to give you an idea of this, i was in gaza last week and visit twoed hospitals. one is called al—naja, a 65—bed facility, that now has over 300 inpatients. i went to a field hospital run by the international medical corps. as the israeli defence forces are planning their offensive in rafah, the managers of those two hospitals are now looking

at options for evacuating their patients and also relocating. they know with a big military operation, they, too, will be cut off from supply lines and, too, will not have the staff and patients access the hospitals. this is a recurring theme throughout the war. this is what has hand. in most of the hospitals across gaza this has happened since the start of the conflict.— the conflict. incredibly troubling. _ the conflict. incredibly troubling. thank - the conflict. incredibly troubling. thank you | the conflict. incredibly i troubling. thank you for sharing that with us. thank you. one more note on the middle east. kensington palace announced britain's prince of wales will undertake engagements to recognise the human suffering caused by the ongoing war. the palace says over the next ten days the prince of wales will hear firsthand accounts of the situation on the ground and meet those providing humanitarian support in gaza. he will visit a synagogue and

took place here on sunday close to the bab alman darb strait between yemen and djibouti. the ship that was hit was the rubymar, a cargo vessel flagged in belize operated from lebanon but owned by a british firm. and it was heading north bound for bulgaria. now, a spokesman for the houthis, which are backed by iran, said its armed forces attacked the ship with missiles. it suffered catastrophic damage and had sunk. now, there's no independent confirmation on this, but the uk authorities said the rubymar was taking on water. it had been abandoned and the 2a crew had been rescued. now, all this is damaging trade as ships take the longer, more costly route around africa. and egypt's president fattah al—sisi said today that his revenues from the suez canal were down by 50%. since the middle ofjanuary us forces occasionally with raf warplanes, have hit back

and attacked houthi military targets in yemen and a uk government spokesman said it and its allies reserve the right to respond appropriately. and the european union also agreed today to set up its own naval mission to protect shipping. but so far, none of this appears to be deterring the houthis. their spokesman promised more escalation and claimed it had even made two further attacks, this time on us vessels down there in the gulf of aden. now to other stories: guinea's self—appointed military leaders dissolved the government and will appoint a new one. the west african country has been under military rule since a coup in september 2021. the region's main economic and political bocecowas has been pressuring the junta to restore civilian rule through elections. nearly the entire state of california is under threat from weather as an

it's all amazing. i feel so honoured that somehow my image managed to make it to the top. 1 we dived under thick ice that's close to a metre thick and my model, the free diver, she was swimming on one breath from the surface, trying to find me under the ice among these whale bones. it's a minky whale on the bottom that she's swimming by and yeah, it's a very challenging environment. —2 degrees in the water, its pitch black down there. yeah, it's a privilege and it's been a long, hard journey. i mean, i've been educating myself also in diving, in very advanced systems, very advanced cave diving, with vehicles that push you deep into the caves. it takes me to places that very, very few people have been able to go. the more people that can see my underwater photography and cinematography, the happier i am because it's such a different world and people need to know about it.

we need to take care of what's under the surface, we need to think from environmental perspective, so think this is all very relevant in many perspectives, as much as i'd like to show beauty. i like to show the beauty of the world, like, it makes me happy. one more thing before we go. astronomers say they's discovered what could be the brightest object in the universe. here are mind boggling facts: it shines about 500 trillion times brighter than the sun. it has the fastest growing black hole ever recorded at the centre and the hungriest. it consumes the equivalent mass of one sun per day. the oasar is very, very far away. day. the oasar is very, very faraway. light day. the oasar is very, very far away. light from it has taken 12 billion years to reach us. it was first spotted in 1980. it was so bright, that astronomers failed to identify it as a qasar. one of the scientists in the australian—led team said the discovery was "staring them in the face".
