to berlin, and moscow. there's strong reaction around the world to the death of russian opposition leader alexey navalny. some people are showing support for him at memorials like these in russia. and many parts of europe. russia just prison system says navalny collapsed and died on friday. many members of the international community are blaming russian president vladimir putin for navalny's death from a us president donald trump has been silent, but current president joe biden isn't holding back. he's pointing a finger directly at russia's leader, nereus >> make no mistake. make no mistake. putin is responsible for navalny's debt. and as people across russia and around the world are mourning navalny today because he was so many things that putin was not he was brave. he was principled who's dedicated to build in a russian where a rule of law existed. he knew it was a cause worth fighting for. and obviously even dying for.

>> cnn, chief global affairs correspondent matthew chance has more on navalny's life and death end his last appearance just a day before he died. alexey navalny's seemed in good spirits even teasing the judge at the fourth where he appeared by video conference >> your honor, >> i will give you my personal account number, so that you can send me money from your here good salary. he said, i'm running. thanks to your decisions >> in prison authorities say he collapsed on friday after his daily state media says, emergency teams called to his penal colony, tried to revive him for more than half an hour still, navalny's family they are waiting for confirmation of his death. >> does not know years >> the problem >> you are

>> is true. i won't putin and all his steinian, everybody around him. >> a >> budjenska and the regia, his government, his friends is najla i want them to know that they will be punished for what they have done to our country. it's not just going to my family and to my husband. is my emotion. what we estimate but navalny's demise sends yet another chilling message to the russian opposition. a few braving restrictions to lay flowers amid widespread shock, the country's most prominent opposition figure has been cited what calms me is that if he really died, his death will make his supporters a bit stronger. says this woman and some people because those nolan, when i learned about it, i was horrified and cried. says another now i just want to screen share can you can, expect. >> but we'd russian presidential elections just weeks away. vladimir putin

seems unfazed by the death of another prominent critic he's visiting an industrial facility in the city of chelyabinsk, leaving his spokesman, dmitry peskov, appeals newly more could questions according to the rules of all necessary investigations are underway, age as he told reporters later, suggesting that much international reaction to the death he's unjustified neck, but for many blame is already being laid at the kremlin's door prone navalny protests are banned in russia but in neighboring georgia and elsewhere, mourners are turning out to pay their respects and to voice their anger putin, die. >> they're chanting. but it is his critics. it seems whose lives are snatched away matthew chance, cnn, london and former cnn moscow bureau chief nathan hodge joins us now from london.

so just now the munich security conference, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy said that russian president vladimir putin sent a clear message with navalny's death. what message do you think that might be? >> well, kim, first of all, i think it's still very early days. we're still getting more details and learning more and there are many, many questions that remain about the circumstances of navalny's death. but clearly as we've already reported president biden has says, laid blame squarely on president putin for the death of navalny. many other critics are, are basically pointing out that whether or not it's an order that's direct from the top this russia's prison system is basically set up to crush people and navalny has endured some of the worst of russia's prisons. he was based, he was

jailed in a prisoner above the arctic circle yet somehow he managed to maintain his famous and very cutting sense of humor while he was in prison. in fact, one of his most recent posts before his death was joking about the weather there as well as the awful music that was being blared over the pa system in security conference where president zelenskyy speaking. so we will come back to you in a minute. i just want to go to president zelenskyy at the munich security conference. >> hour ukraine >> the president you are outmanned and you always say this, there are huge, huge advantage in terms of numbers of russian forces there is a question of potentially you signing a law or changing the draft and the conscription and blowing the age from 27 to 25.

are you going to do that? >> but daniel boone blocks now dying danya the tiniest provably mobilization it. done i hello, misha moment, but dinucleotides elude the gift tomlin enough room to fears each know would you are colored dina new greene's? in his alleged get nazi, the dominant, the bouillon. we'd normally what all right. >> we don't have translation there for president zelenskyy is comments on a bring nathan hodge back, our former cnn moscow reporter thanks for sticking with us here. so we were talking about navalny, his death. i mean, much as being made of the timing of his death, we have the start of the munich security conference and a week in which donald trump made those comments about letting russia do what it wants to allies a fawning putin interview with american

personality tucker carlson and republicans yet again, failing to pass aid to ukraine what do you make of the timing? >> well, kate, i think it's also important to point out another event that's coming up that's very important for vladimir putin's calendar and that's the election in the middle of march, in which he's quite, quite certain to sail to reelection. it's in fact a little bit difficult to call it an election because it's been cleared of all kind of meaningful the petition. and people such as navalny or candidates who might have opposed the war in ukraine. and the full-scale invasion had been barred from running. so this is the death of navalny is coming at a time when it's become increasingly clear here that there's absolutely no space for dissenting voices in russia. so that the election that we're going to be seeing in a month is going to be a little bit more like a sort of a plebiscite, a way that the kremlin can show the legitimacy

of putin's rule and the backing of the russian population despite the fact that russian civil society has been absolutely crushed over the past two decades. and russia's free press has been essentially muzzled. and there was one of the reasons why figure like navalny was so critical because not only was he instrumental in getting thousands of russians to go out on the streets risking arrest to protest against what they saw us, corruption, kleptocracy. he was deeply involved in what we call investigation it of journalism. and that was digging into the affairs of russia's top officials, including president putin himself, and laying bare what, what he saw is as a corrupt and kleptocratic regime so certainly, i mean, this is making the political landscape in russia look a lot more monochromatic. kim >> yeah, and when we began you and i were speaking about

president zelenskyy reacting to navalny's death. we do have a clip of him speaking just recently at the munich security conference. i want to play that for you >> putin kills crew, ever he wants an opposition leader or anyone else who seems at the target exactly to him after the murder of aleksey navalny >> it's absolute two perceive putin at a supposedly legitimate head of a russian state and he is the thug who maintains power through corruption and violence coming to his so-called integration, shaking his hand considering him an equal means to disdain the very nature of political power >> all right, so obviously we

have president zelenskyy hoping that navalny is might lead to more support for ukraine in its war against russia. we heard president biden's sort of speaking about how hopefully this will lead to more support for arms for ukraine in congress do you think this will lead to a change in position >> well, kim, i think this is the death of navalny, i think gives ammunition to the ukrainian argument that there is really no serious negotiation to be had with putin regardless of whether one thinks that there must be negotiated end to the war and how that would happen >> but >> this gets to the larger point of what the russian world looks like or what, what kind of russia one could expect. and what we've seen already from our own experience reporting the war in ukraine, the intense violence that was inflicted on ukrainians who were in russian occupied territory as well as

the decades of experience of the ukrainian peninsula of crimea under russian rule, which has essentially a police state. so i think that, this will focus many minds when it comes to getting back to the arguments about both financing, increasing aid, delivering aid to ukraine, as well as sharpening, i think we're bringing into much sharper focus exactly what kind of system russian president vladimir putin presides over. kim. >> i really great getting your analysis on what's going on here. nathan hodge in london. thanks so much. the likely 2024 us presidential nominee for the republican party was hit with a massive financial penalty friday in new york. donald trump must pay nearly $355

million from pleading the value of his properties. he and his adult sons are also temporarily banned from holding certain positions in new york businesses. both of trump's sons also face fines along with a former employee, but they're finds are much smaller now the ruling comes after a jury ordered trump to pay more than $83 million to writer e jean carroll last month cnn's kara scannell looks back at the trial >> devastating blow to trump's reputation as a successful businessman after a new york supreme court judge ordered him and his company to pay nearly $355 million barring him from serving as a company director in the city where he made his billions, where his name is plastered on skyscrapers for three years, donald trump may have authored the author of the deal but he perfected the audit is still this long running. fraud was intentional. >> agreed. jus illegal. >> friday's ruling follows the

nearly three month long trial filled with dramatic moments. trump himself often chose to attend court, though he was only required to be there when he testified this trial was you rode that fasttrack this trial could have been brought years ago, but they waited until i was right in the middle of my campaign. >> he frequently attacked judge in goren and as well as his clerk and then new york attorney general in the hallways of the courthouse and on truth, social is this, judge is very partisan, judge, with person who's very partisan sitting alongside him. >> well, wasting our time with this trial the democrat judge from the club houses, it's a disgrace and we're going to be here for months with a judge that already made up his mind. he have a rogue judge rules that properties are worth a tiny fraction, 11 hundred a tiny fraction of what they actually are. a trump hater. the only one that hates trump floor is his associate up there. >> his attacks, even resulted

in the judge issuing a gag order restricting him from going after the court staff, which trump then violated twice and was fined a total of $15,000. >> i thought they were going to go somewhere, but i think they understand that they have nothing as it relates to a case other than i guess an overzealous attorney general who would destroy all of new york business by going after transactions where there are no victims i guess, other than herself, the former president and his adult sons all testified during the trial, which began in october last year. during his testimony, donald trump frequently clashed with judging gotten in the courtroom the judge warning trump's lawyer, chris kise, to control your client and threatened to remove him. >> thank you very much. >> outside mar-a-lago, friday after the ruling, donald trump continued those attacks. >> these are radical left democrats. they alluded to x and it's election interfering. so i just want to thank you for being here. will appeal, will be successful, i think because frankly, were not successful new york city they just gone,

people are moving out of new york state. and because of this, they're going to move out at a much faster rate. >> the judge ordering donald trump to pay nearly $355 million plus another $100 million in interest with other legal judgments like against him, he is owing more than $540 million a big bill for the former president, kara scannell, cnn, new york >> so as you just heard, trump is already vowing to appeal, but that won't keep him from shelling out a money to appeal. you'd have to come up with a full judgment amount or secure a bond using now sets as collateral. cnn senior legal analyst, elie honig says the rulings language will make appeals difficult >> this opinion was written by this judge. absolutely. with appeal in mind, it's meticulous. he goes through every property, every transaction, and he puts things in the appeal that he knows he cannot be reversed on forever. example assessing how credible a witnesses did. i believe this witness or not? that is uniquely up to the trial judge. you can't be reversed on that.

so downstroke certainly will appeal. i think he's got next to no chance of winning lawyer, in jeffrey toobin discussed trump's fine and how it connects to the scale of his fraud here. yes >> the problem is that because he lied about his assets, he got lower interest rates to have to pay it back so he benefited to the tune of millions of dollars by lying to the banks and two other authorities about how much money he had. he has never acknowledged that, but this damage award is because he got all this benefit millions of dollars lower interest rates because of the lies that he told >> the hearing on donald trump's georgia election subversion case has ended for now, a judge will decide whether fulton county district attorney fani willis should be disqualified from the case because of alleged financial misconduct in her personal relationship with lead prosecutor nathan wade. more

now, from cnn's nick valencia here in atlanta tell us about your relate today. >> terrence bradley was supposed to be a star witness for defense attorneys trying to disqualify fulton county district attorney, fani willis from the donald trump election interference case. but on friday weights former law partner and divorce attorney couldn't provide details to show willis and nathan wade were lying about the extent of the romantic relationship? >> i have no personal knowledge of when it actually happened i was not there i do not have any personal knowledge. >> these are attorney-client privilege, a major hurdle for the defense especially after a judge scott mcafee ruled bradley could not be asked about what privilege conversations he had with weighed about his relationship to talk about privilege happy to ask him the substance of the question. >> yet, one defense attorney managed to introduce a text exchange with bradley and 2023 about the wade willis romance. >> so what i have is a text

message from you saying, oh, my god, nathan took funny on a trip to napa and pay for with his firm >> continue reading. >> and you said easy that dome also testifying friday, fani willis, his father, backing up her heated testimony from thursday when she said she always keeps cash on hand i've always kept case and i've told my daughter, you keep six months worth of cash always on both days, money was >> center stage because defense attorneys are trying to prove that willis somehow benefited financially from a relationship with wade through gifts and vacations that weighed paid for with money he earned on the case, we went out multiple times that probably went to the level of more than $100 but if we're doing for tat, like that, i probably paid for as many meals as he paid for and so i did not receive any gifts from him and willis and wade both maintain the relationship

began only after wade took the job of special prosecutor. will this his father testified he didn't know about the relationship until the rest of the world found out and only met him recently, did not meet nathan wade until 2023 in a surprise turn willis did not take the stand again on friday, her team believing they had enough to beat back efforts to this qualifier. >> it has no further questions for ms willis. >> the judge has signaled that these hearings will continue sometime in the next week when they do eventually wrap up. he's going to allow the state and defense attorneys to write replies and written legal briefs, which means that it could be weeks before we know the conclusion of these hearings altogether. these allegations have already led to a delay in this case prior to them surfacing the da appear to be on track for an august star to this trial. for now, all of that has been put on hold. nick valencia, cnn, atlanta >> still ahead. walk of how alexey navalny's death as a symbol of a changed russia as

palestinians are reportedly fleeing >> gaza's southernmost city of rafah were they say they've been seeking or where they've been seeking shelter. the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs, as many are heading nora, so deir al balah hey, it's because of intensified airstrikes on rafah. in recent statements by israeli officials about an impending ground offensive un's relief agency estimates 84% of health facilities in gaza have been affected by attacks since the start of the war. and more than 70% of all civilian infrastructure it has been destroyed or severely damaged. meanwhile, the international court of justice has decided against ordering additional provisional measures for gaza. south africa had asked the court to consider whether the tensor situation and rafat called for new measures. the icj says the current order in place is sufficient as it covers hostilities in gaza as a whole

>> all right, one we're live now to cnn's scott mclean in istanbul. so scott first, what's the latest on rafah >> hey, good morning. can look, it seems like people in rafah are starting to see the writing on the wall. they are crammed in there one 0.3 million of them. this un agency that you mentioned says that there is more than half of the population of gaza crammed into less than 20% of its territory and many of them are leaving because of, as you mentioned intensifying airstrikes there and also the statements that we are hearing from israeli officials, this promise that they have made to go into rafah at some point in the future? the problem for these people who will be fleeing northward, trying to find any measure of safety is that they'll need to go past a hanunis. this is a city in the south where there is active fighting taking place right now. that's where the nasser hospital so is under siege right now by israeli forces. and they're headed toward deir al-balah, where there is also fighting on the ground taking place to the east of the city. and of course,

they're not going to be safe even in the city from israeli airstrikes. it was last week that 12 people all from the same family, some of them children were killed in one single israeli airstrike. israel has said that it's not going to who've into rafah militarily until it's able to evacuate the civilian population in rafah. but the white house is questioning whether that's even remotely realistic or remotely possible. and of course, there's also plenty of pressure piling up on the israelis, not to go into rafah saying that it would be a catastrophe, but israel so has not. throughout this war have been so keen to take advice from its allies. and so it's really anyone's guess as to what or exactly when we'll see action in rafah? >> yeah, exactly. scott israel's government again, pointing the finger at the un agency for palestinian refugees. so take us through exactly what they've been saying

>> yeah, so israel has made some pretty eye-opening statements here are some pretty eye-opening claims. they say that of the third 13,000 employees of unrwa, the united nations relief and works agency set up in 1948 specifically for palestinian refugees they say that some 1,500 of them around our members of hamas. they didn't give any evidence to support that. >> they >> also released the names and photos of the 12 employees that it says were involved in the october 7 attack for ten of those people that listed photos, names, the accusations against them, but it didn't provide any evidence but for two of them, it actually released screenshots purportedly showing them inside of inside of israel on october over seven. now these are images that cnn is not in any kind of a position to verify, but the images or the accusations being made against

these two unrolled what employees, one of them has a math teacher, one of them is a social worker against the social worker. the accusation is that he helped kidnap and israeli soldier and was involved in transferring weapons then trucks against the math teacher. the accusation is that he was involved in logistics and also received and held hostages. unrwa is investigating all of it. it's not commenting, but for some context here this organization would annually give to israel the names and details of all of its employees to israel. and it says that none of these names wherever flagged prior to so it was not in a position to know any of this. and it's also important and i know that israel has, for years and years taken issue. not only with the un claiming that there is broad bias against it, but specifically with unrwa saying that it heche awaits the palestinian refugee issue. it's also been a lightning rod even outside of the country, president trump called it

irredeemably flawed and cut off funding only to have it restored by president biden. now though that funding has been cut off not only by the united states, but many of its biggest backers, putting it in real desperate financial straits at a time when that aid is so so desperately needed, kim yeah, adding fuel to that controversy. scott mclean in istanbul. thanks so much ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has been speaking at the munich security conference france, where leaders have been reacting to the death of alexei navalny, while the latest details after the break stay with us full story with anderson cooper tomorrow on cnn >> so we decided to put in an in ground pool. >> i literally went on angie and typed in pool and then got choices, getting to talk to different contractors, see different bids in kind of look at their reviews, look at what other people think of them. and it's nice to know that you're meeting with people who already are at a certain level. we wanted something beautiful, we wanted something that our

garvan walsh. he's a former foreign policy adviser to the british conservative party and founder and ceo of article seven and urban also chairs the election watchdog unhappy democracy. thank you so much for being here with us. so i want to start with the reaction we're seeing to navalny's death as i mentioned, you were an adviser to the conservative party. so what would you advise the current british government to do in response to navalny's death >> look, it's a very serious situation, but it's hardly a surprise. i think the most important thing to do is continue to build up the international coalition against vladimir putin's regime support ukraine as much as possible. and to strengthen and continue to enforce, economic sanctions that are causing economic problems to russia right now >> i mean, the timing of his death with the munich conference starting no coincidence. coincidence. do you think?

>> this was the conference and back into thousand and seven, where putin first announced his intention to challenge the rules based international order so it's not really a surprise that he's using this to poke the west, the western the eye again, he's doing it at a time where the west has demonstrated significant weakness we seem to be unable to get aid ukraine because speaker mike johnson is not holding a boat. or the european union took more time to get its aid in order because viktor orban decided, decided to block it the clear, clearly he sees a moment of weakness is altered this is also the moment that ukrainian troops withdrawn pre-med vika, that he's using that for maximum propaganda on that perception of weakness. and the conference itself, as we've reporting one of the main subjects has been donald trump's comments encouraging russia to to do what it likes to. nato allies, the don't pay enough. i mean, the binary situation has been trying to do damage control with its allies. there has been working as

anyone reassured, do you think? >> look, i think europe >> european leaders are meeting in munich for the first time when the withdrawal of the american security umbrella has become a serious possibility >> whole point of >> nato is to say if you're talking the smallest european countries, you're picking a fight with america. trump's now saying, well, i'm not so sure about that. it's not really about the money, it's about his disdain for nato and collective security. he doesn't like it. he doesn't get it smaller european countries and even larger european countries are very serious questions to ask over the next few months. how are they going to prepare for the possibility of from coming in? i then weakening? nato security guy >> yeah, trump's comments, they did highlight a painful truth, i guess europe is nowhere near ready to defend itself without the us. so you've argued that nato needs to develop contingency plans to defend against russia with little or
