ranging remarks after the vote ended on sunday, cnn's matthew chance has been following all of those developments from moscowarctic penal colony last month which puts li then you're scrutiny in a few days before mr. navalny passed away, some colagues told me that there is an idea to exchange mr. navalny for some people who are in prison in cou believe news, maybe you don't. the person who spoke to me had not finished his sentence yet when i said i agree. but

unfortunately, what happened happened. there was only one condition for him not to come back let him sit there. i'm going to go well for such things happen. there's nothing you can do about it that's life >> of course, navalny's supporters accused putin of killing the opposition leader as he ruthlessly silenced his critics of the kremlin of course, the putin has denied any involvement. the presidential election though has been slammed by critics also as being neither free nor fair with high turnout, putin received well over 80% of the vote, claiming a mandate to rule russia for another six years. he lashed out criticism by taking a swing. the us political system suggesting that court cases involving presumptive republican nominee and former president donald trump were politically motivated. >> whereas your motion should be considered democratic, use administrative resources to attack one of the candidates for president of the united

states, including through the courts. the use of administrative resources did judicial system this has becomes simply ridiculous in a disgrace in front of the whole world for the united states in for your so-called democratic system. in quotes, i have every reason to believe that today, we are not seeing any democracy, at least during the election processes in some western countries, including the united states what a warning there from the kremlin leader about democracy. but in the aftermath of elections in which opposition candidates weren't even allowed to stand critics say democracy in russia has virtually disappeared matthew chance, cnn, moscow >> clare sebastian has been following this shock result yes. >> well, i mean, it was the die was costs doesn't it? before people even went to the ballots, there were no real opposition leaders that were available to be voted for. but i think we've got to look at this in the context of the sort of shows of defiance that we

did see you throughout the election. there were people pouring green inke into ballot boxes. there were several arson tax at polling stations and then we saw this noon against putin movement on sunday, not only in russia, but outside of russia, i was at the event in london and i think weirdly in this strange twist of irony that may have contributed somehow to these high turnout numbers. there is a sort of a more mobilized opposition than we expected into people telling me that for the first time they participating in elections, even though they know they couldn't change the results. i spoke to a key ally of alexey navalny in london. he said, look, we know we can't change anything now, but we want to make sure that we're a unified opposition force and ready. but obviously, on the flip side, this means more putin and other six years, possibly another 12 years. is it means more repression in russia, which i think many people felt that that was the case anyway, after the death of alexey navalny and for ukraine, this means more of what we've seen, more war and carrying out the elections in

those occupied territories shows that russia intends to consolidate its presence there and potentially move further despite those shows of opposition, we've seen putin sounded emboldened in the address, even the fact that he mentioned alexey >> navalny by name. obviously, he's now deceased and presents no threat because notably, he never did mention him by name and then he was speaking about the threat to democracy worldwide. what was your interpretation of putin reflecting on the results and where he is in terms of his power. >> yeah, i think when he mentioned that x enough, that was the moment that he seemed as most emboldened right? because he's never done it before. he is the master of the unpredictable. you will defy expectations like that. but it was interesting the way he said it that also made it very clear that he was very keen to get rid of him. he's ending the condition. he said that the person who mentioned the prisoner swap to him, he said yes, before they didn't finish speaking, he said the condition was that navanly would never come back to russia. so i

thought that was relatively telling as well, the daily, the kremlin did see him even in prison as a threat. so i think yes, bruton is embolden. he talks a lot now about the unity of russia. one big unified family. he said, so he's going to continue, i think with the same path that we've seen with this new, albeit false mandate. >> class mastering. thank you >> turning to the us now where republicans who should be focusing on the upcoming general election are in damage control mode. >> that's after a series of inflammatory comments made by but likely gop presidential nominee at an ohio rally this weekend. take a listen >> we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. and your dr. to be able to sell those guys. if i get elected. now, if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole

that's gonna be the least of it. it's going to be a bloodbath for the conscience. if i had prisons that were teeming with ms 13 and all sorts of people that they've got to take care of for the next 50 years, right? young people that are in jail for years, if you call him people, i don't know if you can call up people in some cases than not people in my opinion, these are animals. okay >> during that rally, he also described people convicted of crimes on january 6 as patriots and hostages democrats roundly condemned those remarks, joined by a few republicans two. >> but while some gop lawmakers assault to qualify and explain the things that trump said. others insisted his comments were taken out of context by the quote, liberal media >> no, say, first, he was speaking about the possibility of criminals been among the immigrants. and those are the people he was saying may not be people if you will. on the other hand, thoroughly the president's rhetoric because reflected poorly in terms of regarding folks who are coming here illegally, illegally and

they shouldn't be. but in a dehumanizing fashion. and that's why again, many people continue to have reservations it's a concerted effort liberal media is out to get him that democrats are out to get him. and anytime he says anything, they're going to take it out of context and go after him. >> i'm talking about former president trump's comments, calling them not people and animals well, i of course disagree with those in the past. i think the american public disagree with those, but i do think that people see that donald trump is the only candidate in this race. it's going to be able to fix this crisis well, i spoke with thomas gift, the director of the center on us politics at university college london. here's what he had to say about the inflammatory language that trump news he's use similar language like this before where he's talked about immigrants, poisoning the blood of american >> trumpism is really about the politics of fear. it's about politics of grievance. it's about the politics of

retribution. it's, it's dark. i mean, this is what has given trump's success up until this point. and i think anyone expecting trump to change course now, heading into the general election is really missing the mark. it doesn't track with his rhetoric or his record in 2,016.20, 20 trump really dialed up the language heading into the general election that includes specifically his comments rounding immigration. so it's unsurprising mobile it's shocking, but it's unsurprising. i'm trump's just going to continue to do this. more going for a lib lot, both calm and he was referring to the auto industry, wasn't he was at a specific reference to the auto industry or was that a wider, more provocative word that he was hoping to get headlines with >> well, i think taken in context, max i'll grant that trump's bloodbath comments were mostly in reference to the american auto industry. i think that's giving him the benefit of the doubt because he's always a bit disjointed and

mashes these phrases together. even so, i think that doesn't mean that his words word problem because trump just consistently traffics in this kind of catastrophizing language. it's violent rhetoric apocalyptic rhetoric. it's designed to trigger a visceral reaction president joe biden won't have to worry about funds. this is reelection campaign looks toward the general election. the president now has more cash than any us democratic presidential candidate has ever had at this stage, thanks to some record, fundraising, cnn's priscilla alvarez has the details the biden campaign over the weekend announced another major fundraising haul saying that in the month of february, they raised $53 million. now of $155 million cash on hand, marking a major advantage over republican rival former president donald trump. now fundraising has been a bright spot for the campaign, but this hall in particular was notable as the rematch between former president donald trump and president biden has it's been crystallized and recent weeks a moment, but the biden

campaign has been waiting for up until this point. now, the president biden spent the month of february on a fundraising swing from the west coast that contributed to this fundraising haul, as well as the gop primary in south carolina. now they also had another record-breaking month in grassroots fundraising with 97% of the funds raised under $200. and that's in your campaign officials calling this a barometer of enthusiasm, even among those low approval ratings. and the president is expected to continue his campaign blitz this week with stops in nevada and arizona as he continues to shore up his coalition and trump prior to secure that victory in november. priscilla alvarez cnn at the white house >> still to come >> negotiate is a set to meet for the latest round of hostage and ceasefire talks. but can there be a breakthrough as differences remain between israel and hamas? >> plus the widow of the russian opposition figure alexey navalny's sends a

try to replace the elected leadership there. that's something that israel, the israeli public does on its own. we're not a banana republic look, i think the only government that we should be working on to bring down now is the tourist tyranny in gaza, the hamas tyranny >> netanyahu also says that the demands that hamas is making, making the hostages-ceasefire deal more difficult. >> time will tell, but hamas outlandish demands and i'm not itemizing every one of them now makes that deal a lot more difficult, but we're going to keep on trying because we want those hostages back. we understand also that the one thing that gets hamas to give them is to give these hostages to us, is the continued military pressure >> the latest round of those hostage and ceasefire talks are expected to resume in doha, qatar in the coming hours and joining us now for more on that as cnn's nada bashir, not at what more can you tell us about the state of those talks? and

even though a premise netanyahu or he might say that it was totally inappropriate for chuck schumer to make those remarks saying he was one of the key obstacles. is it accurate? >> well, that seems to be the perspective of the united states. certainly we've heard from the white house saying that they believe that the current proposals on the table at this stage are broadly within the froma that they have been working towards over the last couple of weeks alongside other international allies to the fact that v israeli leadership and in particular note and you still believe this deal to be in their words, unrealistic and outlandish is raising some concern. but of course, as we know, the mossad director david barnea, is in qatar, expected to take part in those talks today with delegations from both qatar and egypt. again, crucial mediators between hamas and israel over the last few weeks. and what it is looking like at this current stage is another six-week truce, balls and fighting which would see a phased exchange of israeli hostages for palestinian prisoners. now, what hamas has put forward at this stage is a first stage which would see a female so as

including idf soldiers, as well as the sick, the elderly, and the wounded being released from captivity in gaza in exchange for between 700 to 1,000 palestinian prisoners in the second phase what hamas is proposing is we would see the release of all remaining hostages, including male idf soldiers, in exchange for more palestinian prisoners. around 100 palestinian prisoners in israeli jails currently serving a life sentences. but what appears to be the sticking point still at this stage is what happens after that six-week period. now hamas is calling for a permanent ceasefire and for the full withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza. and as we know, permanent in its and you has said that this is unacceptable. he believed gives that the israeli military needs to continue to push forward towards what he has described as a full victory, namely the full destruction of hamas in gaza. but of course there is mounting pressure on israel, particularly from its allies, given the mounting civilian death toll. and of course, a concerns or on a famine now in the gaza strip all right in terms of raffa, honestly think hamas is gathered there. so

netanyahu's carrying on with his planned operation. >> yeah. we heard from you over the weekend saying that plan is approved. the military operational plans have been approved on the israeli side that they that they believe this is an operation that could take weeks. but of course, this is a huge point of concern because while the israeli leadership says they believe hamas has operatives in rafah, this is an area where some 1.5 million people, civilians, mostly on our concentrated where they haven't pushed towards and displaced. now, the israeli leadership and military say that they are working on plans to evacuate these civilians. we've heard from the white house also over the weekend saying that they have received no credible plan for the evacuation of civilians, but they cannot support any sort of military operation in rafah without seeing a plan for the evacuation of civilians and the protection of civilians in the south. and of course, as we know, this is growing increasingly difficult because the situation in the north is so dire it is extremely difficult to get aid to the north as it is in the south.

but what we have seen is this huge concentration. now civilians in the south, particularly around an offer which is a crucial gateways for aid from egypt. and there is a huge, huge amount of concern from the international community around what this could mean for civilians, particularly during the month the ramadan war, of course, many are fasting, but also as we know, warnings of famine, people simply don't have food or anywhere to turn anymore. >> i'm trying remember. thank you so much >> still ahead this out. we'll be speaking with world health organization director on the state of humanitarian aid in gaza. >> plus protesters around the world gather to denounce vladimir putin and what they believe is another rigged election in russia. have demonstrated it is in berlin address that issue after this break

president biden is once again calling for ceasefire in gaza and for more humanitarian aid to reach the thousands of people stuck in rafah israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said on cnn, the he intends to continue the use of military force until a deal with hamas can be reached. and russian president vladimir putin will hold powerful the next six years after winning what he says was a democratic election. in a news conference on sunday, mr. putin confirmed but he was aware of discussions about a possible prisoner swap involving russian opposition leader alexei navalny, and that would have been just before navalny's death. >> last month and was near russian polling sites outside the country on the final day of voting on sunday, including one in berlin, where alexey navalny's widow >> waited for hours to submit her ballot. for a plugin, spoke with russian voters making their voices heard against vladimir putin navalnaya was

certainly the most prominent of the opposition >> activist suit here to the russian embassy in number living to vote in the russian presidential election. >> it wasn't perfectly wondering what i wrote on the ballot papers. who voted for of course, i written evolving cyanide because it just can't be so that a month before the election. and already during the presidential campaign, would putin's main opponent already imprisoned, was murdered? >> we have, of course, the russian opposition had called on russian voters both inside the country, inside russia, and outside of the country. so ex-pats to go to the end. messi's at 12:00 p.m. in their respective time zones. and to vote in the russian election for anybody but vladimir putin. >> there is >> there could be no end in negotiations and notching with mr. putin because he is a killer. he's a gangster, he's the person who brought my

country do the war the same time. >> what you have >> here in berlin is you also have a big dennis menstruation that took place also and you had scenes here. we're at times there were anti-putin protesters on the one side screaming some of the voters on the other side. and there were thousands of people who lined up here at the embassy in berlin some of them clearly pro but i'll well, a lot of them clearly against vladimir putin and some of them even width here in the colors of ukraine. now, i was able to speak to opposition act hoarder cough, ski, and here's what he had to say >> muskegon snap. >> we have the only opportunity to show by going to polling stations at the same time as those who oppose putin and those who opposed the war that we are the majority and this is important inside russia. it's important for those russians who are inside other countries today, because putin's propaganda is trying to convince, including western

public opinion that all russians are in favor of that just like here in berlin, russian ex-pats around the world voted in their respective embassies and the scenes that we >> saw here in the german capital is at some people needed hours to actually be able to get into the actual polling station because so many people were lining up for pleitgen cnn berlin joining us now from florence, italy is alexander bound of senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. sandi, it's always a pleasure to speak to you about russian affairs. now, obviously there was no credible opposition candidate standing in this selection, but in terms of the mechanics of the voting itself, how free and fair was that >> it's absolutely unfree and unfair. it's clear and we see the increase of the result every second, every next election. reelection of redeemer putin gifts us, give

10% more. like 60 always 60% in into 12th 12 in 2012, then albert, 70 and then over ha ha. the reason it's clear putin has taken an unprecedentedly irresponsible, immoral decision to invade ukraine. now he has to show that this decision is supported by the majority. that is larger than ever which is way to redistribute, to share that responsibility for this decision with the whole of the country it is a big mandate though, and his eyes as there presumably for the war in ukraine. and it means it's gonna push even harder. that's something like 90%. it was his policy to go into ukraine, so he's got the public support now it's expected lottery

expected. this number will be interpreted as a support of the war, but it's technically impossible if we go to even official numbers of the supporter of the so-called special military operation bye bye. by the citizens of russia, we see these high number of haiti and more present for the war till the victory only in one particular group of people, of group of some age. and in all other groups, they are much less like 60, 50, and then the group younger than 30, it's less than 20%. but this support, at least to interpret this result of 85% as a support for the war of 18% of population. it's technically impossible even taking into account official numbers. the

officials of theology now go to the voting abroad. that is unprecedented numbers of people who voted abroad. that first show us how many russians have moved outside of russia. since the beginning of the war? and then what the results i'll could be without the reach of these political, technological, administrative mobilization, and resource that exists inside russia. and without the reach of russian propaganda, at least the restricted breccia question. it's totally different numbers given that the result of this election was a foregone conclusion, does this illusion >> is not quite the right word, but does this illusion of a mandate actually change anything in terms of vitamin putin's actions does it in bold in him domestically or internationally? some way >> we have seen yg merch putin,

yes, a yesterday speaking to their member of can pay, but in fact, there was no campaign by the well, from his side note, typical typical electoral campaigning he was just present as a president in the us is a leader of the country in the news is, he's obviously pleased with the result. but there's another significant moment in this unprecedented, the high number before that, russia was well, the pink as a sort of peculiar, specific but western style political system with many exemptions. but still, there were some niceties to be observed. so 60% give to something seven to sign it, maybe, but with 85 and fift presidential term of the same person, it goes absolutely

differently as absolute difference political space non-western it all. and this rupture with the western political institutions, with western political decorations is basically the message of the russian region dream for the rest of the world 85 doesn't mean that we are, that does mean that we are not following western pattern, say anymore we are building something sovereign, something totally different. we see this number only in the in some asian autocracies for the european autocracies in the past it's got propose or in the central asian countries, but not in russia before. so russia stops being even imitating western political system. it's totally serwer and it's political institution. this is the message i would expect that rest of utilisation, some of the political system and electoral results in the future. because in the soviet union behind the results of 99

we've just heard from the central election commission saying the turnout was a record. 77 it's pretty incredible and does speak, doesn't it to the mandate, but putin claims to have it's absolutely unprecedented. to this number. >> and it's achieved >> which kv administrative mobilization because people pool, are very dependent on the state in russia, in the state becomes more and more the single employer in many regions, in many areas of the economy. as so, it has this resource to pressure people to go and walked and evil to show oh, how they have voted, because we see how the bosses of the companies over enterprises, we're asking

people to show them how they how they did vote electronically, or two, to make a photo of the ballot and to send to them, which is absolute legal, legal, even by russian law. but it happened in unprecedented numbers of cases right now this one reason, another reason that the whole system, the governor's the mayor's, the heads of their the, state run companies where kin certain involved in the sort of competition to show the large support because they knew that the kremlin and the leader wants to show that this, as i said, unprecedented, risky, immoral, and destructive decision to go to the war with ukraine is supported to come fort the consciousness later i want founder thank you so much

imprint.com in britt for certain >> this just into cnn, israel defense forces are urging residents around the al shifa medical complex in gaza two evacuate, posting on x what they should move south to quote, a humanitarian zone it's unclear how many gazans have access to social media and internet this time to even see that you're the message comes as idf troops surrounded the

medical complex early on monday we say, based on their intelligence, the hospital is being used by quote, senior hamas terrorists to conduct and promote terrorist activity. ceiling can't independently verify the idf's claim. >> gaza's health ministry says about 30,000 people are sheltering in that complex and claim anyone attempting to leave the hospital. it's quick targeted by sniper let's this was the scene outside and unrwa and age distribution center on sundays, people lined up for flower >> hundreds of thousands of people are scrambling to get food in gaza as limited aid trickles in with aid organizations saying gazans are facing famine now, dr. rick brennan is the regional emergency director for the world health organization in in the eastern mediterranean. he joins us now from cairo. i mean, how would you describe the level of famine we're facing right now? >> well, i don't think there's been a formal declaration of feminine at this stage, but the

levels of food insecurity a soaring. we're seeing accelerating rates of malnutrition, particularly in the north amongst children. 13% of kids are acutely malnourished. that will worsen unless next up we scale up aid and the where, where, well, short of the systems that are required to stay ahead of them. and i think the concern is that we will have a state of feminine and there is improvement in secret dirty, and unhindered access to the people in need >> and dr. richard, you recently visited gaza. can you tell us what you saw there? i think we have some photos to share with our viewers. it's so important obviously because very difficult to actually get information, images, and stories please, out of gaza. so the fact that you had the opportunities to do that is really important

>> yeah. well, i've been working in humanitarian assistance for 31 years now and like just about every other humanitarian veteran that's worked in gaza recently visited gaza recently, i would say there are aspects of this crisis that amongst the worst, i've ever seen, the levels of displacement, i was only in rafah. whereas you know, there's been 1 million people now displaced i've never seen overcrowding like that. never seen so many people's squeezed into such a small area with a pooling sanitation very limited access to food and the shelter itself is very poor quality and there's been a lot of rains and flooding of those settlements that that is a crisis in of itself, the level of displacement, the lack of sanitation, the associated disease outbreaks. now of hepatitis, diarrhea of course, limited access to aid. and we've already talked about the

food deficit now it's looking at some of the data this morning. now, we usually don't like to talk about the number of trucks going into gaza. is that there's an appropriate metric, but it's one of the best that we have. and we say that around, we need around 500 bucks in going into gaza per day since the start of the crisis, were an average of 130 so that gives you a sense of the massive deficit of distance going in as these needs continued to soar you, talk about the problems of displacement, but it's about to get a whole lot worse, isn't it? you've been into raffa israelis are talking about proving the military plans to go into rather that will require a massive relocation of all those civilians won't it? how realistic is that? and what are your concerns >> well, the first concern is where do they go? >> and i >> my understanding is the census they'll go further west and a bit north up into the central part. but again,

there's no areas prepared to receive whereas the shelter coming from most of the shoulder there is made is makeshift. it's made from plastic shading and bits of timber that people have been able to bring together. people aren't in big tent camps. let's be clear, this is not like a managed refugee crisis. so where did they go? what's the source of shelter? >> how does the >> aid then get to them? the other big concern, of course, for us and the health care we've seen this massive degradation of the health system of 36 hospitals, only 13 of them are functioning in there so when we were in rafah, i visited two hospitals, al-najar hospital, which is normally a 65 bids facility. it's it has 300 patients right now. and another field hospital very well run by international medical corps, a us ngo, which now has 150 bit if that military offensive occurs, both of those hospitals are going to

have to relocate. >> now, how did they move? >> this is the first one. i'll now show it's a fixed facility. they are looking at options for perhaps moving into some other makeshift facility further west or north? international medical coal will have to pack up. it's hospital and move in tyler. and that'll take days. so this further limiting access to medical care during the time of the military offensive when we would expect high levels of trauma and injury as well. so beyond catastrophic situation >> it is beyond catastrophic and it's almost unthinkable that this has now been going on for six months. what is your message to the key players in this as this conflict? spills over at six month and you everything you just said about how you're witnessing some of the absolute worst conditions

and crowding and what people are having to ensure and gaza well, we would just have to revisit our humanity. we have to think of the innocent women, men, children caught up in this debacle. we obviously need a ceasefire. we need unhindered access to those in need. we need the release of the hostages. we need both sides to put down their arms and. we need a return to basic decency. we need a return to basic humanity. these are simple steps. if there's a political will there, we can achieve this. and there are issues on both sides that need to be addressed. let's let's be very, very clear he's fine access release of the hostages, return to the negotiating table, putting the people
