>> mckend in washington. and this is cnn welcome to all be watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber this is cnn newsroom, blaming vladimir putin, president biden says the rise shouldn't leader is responsible for the death of moscow critic alexey navalny. donald trump is back on the campaign trail with a fresh promise following a new york courts, i watering fine for fraudulent business practices. >> wait till you >> see his new apparel line that might offset some of those costs. and a successful blast off for japan hands flagship rocket live in sync for with an update on the space race >> live from atlanta. this is c and then newsroom with kim brunhuber >> president biden says he has no doubt that vladimir putin is

to blame for alexey navalny's death prison officials say the opposition leader died friday after a walk, but many western leaders say putin bears responsibility. here's what biden told reporters saturday i've heard several things. i haven't had confirmed, but no matter who is responsible, whether he he is responsible for circumstances reflection of who he is >> just cannot be tolerated i said we would be oppressed he is paying a price already. >> across russia, more than 400 people have been detained while attending vigils or demonstrations supporting navalny. >> now those >> numbers from ovd-info, an independent russian human rights group. it's not clear how many of those people have been released. now there's no word yet exactly what caused navalny's death. russian authorities say navalny died in prison friday after losing consciousness. his family wants

a better answer than that. they and many western leaders are laying the blame squarely on russian president vladimir putin our nick paton walsh has more from the munich security conference will continue to hear stark condemnation from western nations over the death of alexei navalny and a prison colony near the arctic circle on friday morning, we're hearing more details to from his team saying that his mother went to that prison, tried to get the body or confirmation of the death receiver telegram to that effect, went to a nearby town to the morgue there, which should give me told the body was was told there that it had being moved elsewhere. there wasn't clear where it was, and navalny's team now essentially saying the investigation by russian officials here is a pe because you might expect and while there isn't direct evidence at this point that the kremlin ordered navalny's deaths certainly in motion generous interpretation. they miserably failed to keep a man in poor health alive and those prison conditions. and that i think is behind some of the statements we're hearing now

from western officials. the most recent, most strident us secretary of state, antony blinken, saying this is another extraordinary reminder of the brutality of the putin administration. navalny's death has provided but it's a very clear reminder to western nations here of the threat of russia to its own dissidents, but also potentially to european nations to remember there have been concerns that recent marks by former president donald trump about the nato alliance, about how he might not necessarily honor it. if nato members didn't contribute to their own defense budgets, that's kinda been swept aside by the tragic death of nevada only providing a clear focus on what moscow is capable of. and that provided some sort of dark assistance ready to ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy. he took the stage today to remind people of the threat ukraine's facing and how that might be a threat that european nations face from russia, if indeed ukraine doesn't have some kind of prevalence on the battle field he also had to unveil the complex news for ukraine that

they have had to withdraw from a town in the east, abdivka, that scene of fierce fighting over the past weeks and months they announced this morning they had to pull troops. as lenski said, that was the most logical thing to do to preserve human life. and while he did say that ukraine's lost one soldier for every seven, russia has lost in that fight, according to his information, that may suggest superior ukrainian tactics, perhaps, but also too, it shows you the remarkable waste of human life russia is willing to throw hello asleep at a relatively minor strategic objective like avdiivka, but it's also most clearly to hear a reminder to those european powers that the lack of usa, the $60 billion held up by friendly republican dysfunctioning congress that is having a real impact on the ukrainian front lines. other areas too. we are hearing now of potential russian advances and so munich here really, i think starkly reminded of the threat russia poses from the tragic, awful death of alexei navalny, russia's leading opposition figure but also to

the immediate impact on ukraine's frontlines of a slowdown in western aid. a deeply dark atmosphere here, frankly, and acute focus on how oh, the russian threat is intensifying nick paton walsh, cnn, munich, germany and former cnn moscow bureau chief nathan hodge joins us now from london. so nathan, what are we hearing from navalny's family and his representatives? >> well, kim, at this stage, should we don't have any new information about the whereabouts of navalny's body and his family and his supporters are calling for his body to be turned over to turn turn back over to the family and there's a very important reason why back in 2020 navalny fell well, elon a flight from the siberian city of tomsk on a return flight to moscow. >> the >> pilot managed to divert the flight, saving his life. navalny was evacuated to a hospital in germany. and german

officials subsequently announced that he was sickened by poison by novichok, a nerve agent and cnn bellingcat investigation would subsequently reveal that navalny had been tailed essentially for at least three years by a russian security services team that specialized in nerve agents so there's a lot of concern here about trying to establish the real true cause of navalny's death here's kira yarmysh. this is navalny's spokesperson, speaking to just that that issue. take a listen. >> there was a bunch of fsb officers who were following him for three years all across russia. and then they finally tried the, attempted to kill him and well, all the time, we were seeing that oleksi was in

the hands of people who already tried to kill him while he wasn't prison. and so this is what just happened when us there was a risk alexey knew it as well. >> and >> justice yesterday, the well, they murdered him as they plan to do it three years ago but again, kim navalny returned to russia in early 2021. despite this poisoning wanting to remain active when he could have opted for a very comfortable exile, kim and nathan, as for his supporters, there seems to be plenty of outrage over his death, of course, but supporters in russia pay a >> high price for showing it well, kim, first of all, this is happening at a crucial moment russian president vladimir putin is preparing to run in presidential elections

next month. probably not best to characterize them really as an election, but more of a plebiscite that will reanointed him for a fifth term in office and putin is essentially dominated russian politics and squeezed out russian civil society over the course of two decades. but things really, really dramatically ramped up since the full-scale invasion of ukraine two years ago. if before then, there were still some margin for political opposition in russia, the ability, for instance since of people like navalny to organize street protests and to press ahead with their opposition activism russia introduced meconium, new laws following the invasion of full-scale invasion of ukraine in february of 2022, which essentially made it illegal to criticize the military essentially outlawed calling a war, a war. and this has made really the margin for protesting for activism. well, slimmer than ever. and essentially going into this

election next month president putin is essentially cleared russia's political landscape of all of all real opposition. >> and with the death of >> navalny, russia's embattled marginalized opposition has lost its most charismatic and it's most powerful figurehead, kim all right. >> nathan hodge, thanks so much when we heard >> earlier from >> nick paton walsh there about the fall of defka, russia's defense minister says the eastern ukrainian city is now under full russian control and president biden says, republicans in congress can blame themselves. cnn's priscilla alvarez has more >> president joe biden on saturday underscoring the stakes of getting additional funds to ukraine following a phone call with ukrainian president zelenskyy earlier in the day. this as ukraine has had to withdraw how from one of

its towns ceding ground to russia because ukraine is low on ammunition, something that president biden tied directly to congressional inaction. here in washington now, this scenario of ukraine having to withdraw because because they are low on ammunition has been a top concern for us officials and something they have warned about if additional aid is not urgently sent to ukraine. and the president indicating on saturday that he is not confident that other towns won't fall if that aid isn't and sent to ukraine. >> there isn't another city to fall right after this a conference. or not. >> i'm not no one can and ukrainian people for so bravely put so much on the line. the idea that now run out of ammunition, walk away i find it, sir find it on now the funds that the president is referring to, here are ones that date back to october when

the white house and abroad national security supplemental request asked for 60 billion in additional funding to send to ukraine. now that funding has been stalled amid infighting in congress, but it didn't make some progress in the senate. when the senate passed a foreign aid package earlier in the week and includes those $60 for ukraine. but the house has gone on recess for two weeks, and house speaker mike johnson has said that he doesn't have any plans to put this package on the floor, leaving all of these funds uncertainty in the meantime, the president and the vice president, or trying to reassure allies that they will stand by ukraine and they will not see ground to russia. all of it made all the more difficult without that additional funding sent to ukraine priscilla alvarez, cnn, washington and republican presidential candidate nikki haley is slamming donald trump on his silence over the death of russian opposition leader alexey navalny haley says,

quote, he siding with a dictator who kills his political opponents. now, we know navalny is another one that he is killed. why isn't trump saying anything about it that haley went on to eviscerate trump years? yes. >> citing a madman, he's made no bones about that, that he wants to destroy and he took the side of over our allies who stood with us after 911 >> when he did >> he put our allies in danger heat because our military men and women serving over there today and he bolted donald trump hit the campaign trail again just one day after his latest legal and financial setbacks, >> the 2024 republican front runner went after the new york state attorney general and the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial at a rally in michigan on saturday after he and his companies were slapped with a 300 $55,000,000 fine for fraud. nereus

>> we will have no higher priority than ending the weaponization of this horrible legal system that has developed around us. it's a horrible, horrible thing that's taking place. you talk about democracy. this is a real threat to democracy. this judge is a lunatic and if you've ever watched him and the attorney general may be worse, maybe where she ever watcher i will get donald trump campaign. i will get donald trump. i promise i will get him. she knows nothing about me >> know combined with the $83 million judgment for defaming e. jean carroll, trump has now been fined roughly $438 million in the past four weeks, and that's just in the state of new york so if the judgment against donald trump holds up on appeal, many are now asking how you would actually pay for it. cnn's kristen holmes explains how the republican front runner have used political donations to help foot the bill in addition to

the $355 million at the judge ordered donald trump to pay, he >> was also last month order to pay 83 million in the defamation case of e. jean carroll. >> of course, these are both being appealed, but some of the money will have to go down and does raise the question as to whether or not donald trump has this money and how exactly he would pay these fines after all is said and done. now, in the past, he has used his leadership pac, which is a save america pac, to pay a lot of his life eagle fees. >> we >> talked to campaign finite variance experts who said that that was possible, that there's loose interpretations of the rules of these leadership packs. in particular. so it would be possible for him to dip into that pac to pay some of these bills. but there is one huge glaring problem here, which is that in 2023 alone, donald trump's spent $50 on various legal fees, leaving that account that save america pac with 5.1 million, which is very short of the roughly $400 million or more than $400 million that he would owe in

these various cases? various finds. the other part of this is a donald trump can continue to fund raise. we have spoken to a number of republicans who say, if we are giving donald trump this money, he can use it for whatever he wants. they can give it directly to that leadership pac. but one thing to remind viewers about the donald trump's real claim to fame and how he gets most of his mother one is from small dollar donors, not these big, giant donors that would be very hard for to get these small dollar donors to add up to more than $400 million at the ose in these various legal case so in the wake of that jaw dropping judgment, the foreign president is launched his own line of shoes. have a look the republican presidential candidate unveiled them, met sneaker con, in philadelphia on saturday. the gold hightops carry the very cheeky moniker, never surrender. now keep in mind that nearly $400 a pair laugh so about 890,000 pairs of the priciest sneakers to pay off that $355,000,000 judgment

in new york so trump's consonant rants against the verdict and the justice system had become a part of his brand. cnn's jim acosta spoke with senior political analyst ron brownstein, who compared to trump's behavior with other autocratic leaders, areas >> the students of authoritarianism will tell you that strongmen will break the rules while in office, push against the balance hundreds of law and custom and then if when they are out of office and if they are held accountable, they will say that the justice system, the legal system, is being weaponized against them. and that becomes not only a way to rally their supporters june, but as we've seen with trump, it becomes a predicate for arguing that you should do do the same thing. if you get back in power, his claims that there is this vast conspiracy of grand juries in multiple states and attorneys and district

attorneys and federal attorneys who are all conspiring against him. and that's what's produced his legal challenges becomes the basis for him him to argue, well, i am explicitly going to do the same thing. it's a pattern that's been seen in other countries. and that's why his language, portraying the legal system as a threat to democracy is so dangerous not only for what it means in terms of this election, but what it would mean if he gets control of the justice department again >> all right. >> coming up, israel's prime minister says there are safe places for palestinian civilians to evacuate to in gaza the palestinians, the bag to different level, latest in a live report well, coming up next, stay you know, how sometimes we sit down and smell that smell that's why i created lumi whole body deodorant for pitts privates and beyond. just a pea sized amount plight, anywhere? clinically proven to block owner all day, we put lumi to the test, the average crotch 12

is planning for a ground invasion of rafah the population there in gaza's southernmost city balloon to some 1.5 million people as palestinian seek refuge from the war. now, israel's prime minister says they need to move, again, claiming there's a lot of space north of raka for people to go meanwhile, israeli forces are launching strikes in rafah already in central gaza, killing at least eight me, one people so far. elliott gotkine joins me now from london. so first on those strikes, what more are we learning about the targets and the victims? >> came, as far as the targets are concerned, israel says that it is targeting hamas. this usually means militants, tunnels under the ground or weapons storage facilities, rocket launchers, and the like. and it says that it doesn't, it does its utmost to avoid civilian casualties. but according to the director general of one of the local hospitals, he says that in these strikes on rathod itself, there were two strikes that one of them killed a family of six

and that another strike in an open area killed seven people, women and children, being among them. so it's clear from this, the war has already come to refer. i mean, it's came to refer in the wake of the hamas terrorist attacks of october the seventh. these on the first strikes on rafah, they clearly won't be the last. and i suppose, even if this ground operation doesn't take place, it's still shows that even in areas where people have sought refuge, there are still dangerous to civilians and to lives of those people who have sought refuge there. and i suppose that if anything, underlines that turns that many have about the prospective ground operation by israel in rafah, that even if they do move somewhere north and prime minister netanyahu has said that there are plenty of areas to the north of rafah, which israel has cleared also says that israel is finishing up operations in hanunis, that even if they do move some of them for the month for multiple times, that they will be no safer there than they are right

now in rather kim and then elliot, i mentioned earlier the biden ministration has threatened to veto gaza cease-fire resolution at the un security council. so what's been the reaction and what impact might this have on negotiations on, on the war? >> i don't think it's particularly surprising kim the us has vetoed resolutions. dirt since this war began. previously, its position is that the best hope for a ceasefire is to have a temporary ceasefire of around about six weeks that would enable more humanitarian aid to go in. and of course enabled these hostage negotiations to move forward. now the category said over the weekend that things are not looking particularly promising. israel has derided. hamas has proposal for the release of thousands of palestinian prisoners as delusional and as a result, they seem to be at an impasse. and i think the us is particular concern with a resolution right now is that if a un security resolution were to pass, that called for a complete cessation of

hostilities at this would just benefit hamas and that it would torpedo those hostage talks even if, as i say, the qatari's remarking that they're not looking particularly promising right now in terms of the practical impact on israel's plans and operations, whether it's in rafah, all the rest of the gaza strip. i don't think they're likely to have any practical impact. >> the >> israelis have come under pressure from the biden ministration, both to take more care for civilian casualties and to not go into rafah on the ground unless there is a clear plan to keep civilians out of harm's way, kim >> i appreciate that. elliott gotkine live in london the us says it's successfully conducted to self-defense strikes against iranian backed houthis in the red sea, us central command says it targeted a mobile anti-ship cruise missile in a mobile unmanned surface vessel in yemen they also say the rebel group launched for ballistic missile, three of which appear to be in the area of a commercial vessel. the empty pollock's. there were no

washington, additional military aid for kyiv is bogged down in partisan politics and now the house is taking the two-week break, further delaying the $60 billion package on saturday, volodymyr zelenskyy said, quote, dictators do not go on vacation joining me now and cnn's sebastian shukla live from munich. so the biden ministration is trying to link the ukrainian withdrawal in defka and the stalled funding. so take us through those comments and put them into context for us. >> yeah, it can the meeting here in munich was >> about munitions for ukraine and president zelenskyy arrived under that pile and shadow of the news of alexei navalny's death, to the news as well that he also had had to withdraw his own troops for their own safety on the ukrainian battle we'll fields in the region of dennett's. can he arrived here with a very simple message, which is, i need to get more munitions to be able to defend my troops because that city,

that town of avdiivka, long beleaguered on the frontlines in ukraine since almost 2014 when russian-backed separatists also put it in its crosshairs, has now come and fallen in two russian hands in that ostensibly is a win for president putin on the battlefields in ukraine. one that is very rare for him. take a listen to what president zelenskyy had to say about the munitions and the help that he needs we can get our land back. and putin can lose. and this has already happened more than once on the battlefield. our actions are limited only by the sufficiency and lands of the range of the range of our strengths >> but i'm president zelenskyy then spent the day after that impassioned speech meeting with world leaders. but importantly, particularly secretary blinken and vice president harris, where that discussion about the

congressional aid bill going through which his needed by ukraine will have been high on the agenda. the message he was trying to give, not just the world leaders, but in particular to the white house and congress is passed that bill. i really need it all right, thanks so much specimen shock. but in munich, appreciate that. might want to go back to our top story this hour, a russian rights group says hundreds of people have been arrested across the country for attending vigils and rallies following the death of jailed opposition leader alexey navalny according to a russian prison services, that all he died friday after he felt unwell during a walk, joining me now is volodymyr me love russian opposition politician and advisor to the late navalny. and he's also the former deputy minister of energy for russia. thank you so much for joining us here. you were an associate of navalny's. now a day or so after the news has broken, has it sunk in? how are you handling this loss? >> well, it's really extremely

difficult because this is not the first friends that i lost on the battlefields of boris nemtsov with whom we worked in late '90s was also so murdered nine years ago, exactly. the same late days of february. so it's really hard to comprehend, but we need to move on and we need to be strong and continue to fight putin's regime >> in terms of how russians are reacting. given the level of repression that we're seeing even for anyone seen to support him. what have you been seeing and hearing? >> well, first, you really got understand the extreme level of repressions in russia because you probably saw the footage of people being arrested and detained. just who are laying flowers in memory of navalny. however, we do see that people are coming in in large numbers and the authorities to have this improvised, the flower memorials removed, but then people bringing flowers again.

so we see that navalny's murder actually resonates squad strongly across the country. however, again, the environment is so repressive that we probably should not expect any serious mass protests by now. but navalny in his less political call right before the murlin, actually cold people to come to polling stations on the election day on 17 march at noon so we actually expect that really big numbers of people across the country would turn out and that would be the most visible event of the upcoming so-called presidential election. >> you too have been sentenced to prison in russia for essentially distributing propaganda about the war in ukraine, on navalny's youtube channel, you're opposing putin from a broad, do you think that in the end? navalny would have been able to do more for his cause if he if he hadn't have gone back

>> but it's a difficult question. i think we also have to refer to his own view because i know it was kind of painful for him to be outside russia, the country we would she loved and to which she dedicated and his whole life to build a better future for for russia. so i think it was really a very complicated for him to stay away. yes, it was major sacrifice, but he build a mass movement and movement that will survive him and go on really thousands and thousands of bright future oriented people who want a normal, peaceful, democratic russia, which respects people's rights and does not attack any other countries and so on. so this movement will go ahead. i think that's his main legacy. >> but specifically how will it go on? i mean, you've you've outlined how repressive things are there right now. does it have to take place outside of the country or do you expect somebody to take over the mantle within the country and face the inevitable

consequences. >> we have many supporters inside the country. i mean, the total audience which watches us through social media, watchers are broadcasting is probably dozens of millions. i think the aldridge is somewhere within 3,035 million people of which like 1,015 million are permanent audience. this is a sufficient core to bring about changes, once the regime weakens, it inevitably will happen. as it did in the ages. putin faces many troubles across the border with the army, with the economy, with public opinion and so on. so when it weakens, it will matter, and we will come back to russia and you will see protests and so on. so maybe not right now, but this grapes of wrath, there's some might say are brewing inside the society. >> you >> will see them just as the world soyuz in the 1980s we've heard so far many world leaders, including president

biden, lay the blame for navalny's >> death on putin. you've called on those world leaders to respond. so specifically, if you were speaking to save president biden how would you have him respond >> well, there's a very clear thing that is visible on the surface. now, the west has been introducing sweeping sanctions against russia since the beginning of the full scale invasion of ukraine. but these were mostly focused on the economy and the military industries and so on. but personal individual sanctions against putin's cronies, oligarch. he bureaucrats, law enforcement, people they are legging so far behind. i think about 2000 people have been sanctioned so far. navalny's team has proposed the least of at least 7,000 and many of those people actually operate underneath the sanctions radar and they allowed to roam free with whatever crimes there have been involved in. so seriously

stepping up with individual sanctions and following the navalny list, i think would be a very important first step in responding to what putin has done. >> all right, we'll have to leave it there, but really appreciate your take on this tragic event. and vladimir milov. thank you so much. >> thank you so much >> while cnn has learned that russia is working on plans for a nuclear space weapon, now, it's not intended to be aimed at earth, but rather it's satellites we're here in this exclusive report from cnn's katie bo willow us. the results could affect consumers before anything else >> what we've learned from three sources familiar with us intelligence is that this mystery anti-satellite system that us intelligence believes russia wants to develop is something that military space experts calling nuclear emp. it's a nuclear weapon that would be parked in the earth's orbit and if detonated would cause a massive wave of energy

that would potentially cripple a vast swath of other satellites in the vicinity. think of it less like a nuclear missile that would be fired at a particular target, and more like a directed energy weapon that would spread outwards to blanket group of targets. now important to emphasize that russia hasn't developed this weapon yet. this is something that us intelligence now believes that they are trying to do. but the word that us officials have been using is aspirational. but what if russia were able to field and use such a weapon? what could it do it wouldn't endanger human beings on earth directly. officials the emphasized, but it could potentially knock out a big chunk of the commercial satellites that people rely on to go about their everyday lives to use their cell phones to call an uber, to shop on instagram, pay their bills. experts say this kind of weapon could, for example, knockout a big constellation of spacex satellites that ukraine is currently using to communicate on the battlefield and direct fire in its fight against the russians what's not clear is whether this weapon could or would have any impact on gps

satellites or america's nuclear command and control satellites, which operate at a higher orbit. and our nuclear heartened it's also not clear how far along the russians are in developing a working nuclear e&p. >> the >> concept of a nuclear emp actually dates back to the cold war. so this isn't a new idea, and officials have said, they've been tracking this threat for months, if not years. we know from our sources that there has been a stream of reporting in recent months about russian efforts to develop nuclear powered anti-satellite technology, which is a related technology, but one that's not nearly as alarming. president biden on friday said that what so worried the intelligence community in recent weeks was that they learned that russia had the capability to launch one of these systems, but that's not the same thing as actually having a working e&p. russia has had a number of high-profile failures in its nuclear development program over the years, including an accident in the wake of a failed test of a nuclear

powered cruise missile. a few years back, that killed a number of prominent russian side scientists. so some of the sources that i spoke to were a little skeptical that russia would be able to make this work in the long runs still, it is a threat that official say is very real and something that the us intelligence community is watching closely. katie bo lillis, cnn, washington and the kremlin's dismissing the report, calling it a malicious fabrication in a way for the white house to scare congress into approving more money to counter russia sweden appears to be another step closer to joining nato on saturday, prime minister viktor orban announced, hungry can ratify sweden's membership as soon as parliament reconvened ins and just over a week. and we would be the final nato member to approve sweden's accession to the alliance. sweden and finland applied for membership in may of 2022 after russia launched its invasion of crane earlier that year finland join nato in april 2023, doubling nato is border with russia all

alone >> king charles wednesday, it's on cnn japan has successfully >> launched his flagship h3 space rocket a year after it failed on its maiden attempt, the country's space agency says it reached orbit early saturday and deployed its payload of satellites as planned. the launch marks the second straight win for japan after its moon lander achieved a pinpoint touchdown last month, the moral, let's head over to manisha tank live in singapore. so many should take us through what this means for japan and for the space race it is quite significant to you mentioned that second success in as many months. and i think what's really key is that lunar landing for japan was cited by jackson, which is

japan space agency as a significant achievement for future lunar and planetary explorations but let's talk about this h3 rocket. what does it really? it's an upgrade from the h2a and the h2b and what's interesting is that the upgrade is some of the materials that they've used. the space agency in japan, citing the fact they've used off the shelf components rather than exclusive aerospace components. and one would only imagine they could be more costly. and i think that's really interesting aspects of all of this. you mentioned that pinpoint landing each time one of these missions goes up to space, we're seeing a new boundary brain being crossed in terms of the technology. and so it becomes of interest to experts and scientists worldwide who were operating in this space. now by extension, it's been a really fascinating last 12 months for the space race, as you might call it, in asia. let's talk about india for a second, which put jewelry on three on the moon in august 2023, and just a month after

sent a probe up to monitor the sun than the sun's rays, the sun's activity the ties to send back data on what that would mean for us back here on earth. that was another example of a mission where the costs were bought, brought down quite significantly in comparison to some of those previous attempts we've seen to go to the moon successful ones by nasa for example. so there's a lot one of attention in this space right now about the kind of materials that are being used, the kind of frontiers that are being passed. as for this particular rocket that's gone up successfully, jaxa is saying that they anticipate some 60 missions a year over the next 20 years. and this could be a mix of commercial as well as government payloads. so there's a lot what happening in this space, and i'm sure there's a lot more to come kim. >> fascinating, as you say, the world is watching when he should tank live in singapore. thanks so much >> historic nba all-star weekend is underway. we'll tell you all about it after the break. please stay your
