but they couldn't save him. the volley was transferred to a prison colony above the arctic circle. in december, it's conceded one of russia's toughest prisons and his regularly being held in solitary confinement. nevada and these teams said his lawyer will visit the prison on saturday to confirm his death. novalis wife usually was attending the munich security conference when the news reached to you at the problem. if this is true, i want put in an all of his entourage, the food, you know, we just use the friends and his government to know that they will be held accountable. is that those for what they have done to our country, somebody to my family and to my husband not to be as soon as

the in cities across russia and around the world. mona's paying tribute to the kremlin is most very cool critic. in moscow, people lay flowers at the will of sorrow, a memorial, 2 victims of political repression, changes. i don't know, so it's kind of a shock right now. it's even hard for me to speak now. we loved him, we were to be increasing the of cost involved needs of september, 1st of all, and a symbol of position, a symbol of hope for a brighter future for the show. and there's a feeling back with his death, this hope dies. if it had still been any hope left, it is even less now than it was before the past. when you die, did you begin to have a desire to leave russia or to mention that because you stop believing in positive

change just as she did it to me or that's dwindling. hope on charlotte as a protest i is detained, seconds of to holding up the assign at a memorial. but no volume the suppose is a splits between, sorry for the loss of the graces type and resolve. the news of his death will only involved in opposition to the russian regime. dw is yours. so heads up, bureau and regal out be a and i asked him whether there's any confirmation of an invalid and his death beyond the russian presence of us. a nobel and a half official statements from the russian prison service and republic media, both programs and state media and independent media. however novel his team hasn't confirmed his dad. so we have tried to contact to the director of youth foundation . unfortunately without success. the only thing that always press secretary has that isn't that he's a lawyer, he's on his way to prison,

is that awesome knows now what the less, this is all it is huge and use in the process. some russians are already in bringing flowers to the monuments of political, to prosecute the people in different cities. people have also taken through the streets abroad to come in the right and the valley of worldwide and barely in the front of the same bus. and in london, a t. and we got lots of guys. it was also spontaneous. montana is raleigh in front of that austin investing. and the valley was moved to a prison called in a, in the optic in december. can you tell us about the conditions that he was subjected to the, as well we know little about does it prison conditions. exactly. in, in prison, camp number 3 in the amount of minutes into their options. optical when of only was held. but you do know that the vice president particularly is considered to be a particularly harsh yvonne. it's set to be cancelled, particularly back to me. and also that is difficult to reach from the outside world . as the air temperature is there, it is extremely cold, when the volleyball strengths fell out to the few months ago from another present

in the central rasa. at she joked it into the air, was the very frosty bucket clean. what did you know is the extent of all it has been punished extra. how to sleep $27.00 times during cheese, imprisonment since 2021, when she was transferred to us so that the resell the so called punishment isolates or for several days. cultures criticism therefore came from that option of human rights counsel. today one member. and they had to suspect that the violence detention conditions of ultimately destroying his health. one of the initial reactions in, in russia being to his death. i mean, do people accept what's being said about how he died, for example, as well as the kremlin reactive promptly continued use of developing this desk, putting spokesman, pest golf, refers to the doctors who was supposed to find out of the colors of nevada and his death those and directly indirectly concerning the death report, as it was not a single word from pushing himself he's known for never mentioned,

you can have all of his name, but the russian president, the only was always from what was the made and well known blogger during his lifetime hardly any russian official, politicians. they had to comment freely on the valley's dance. the deputy had over the state that you must foreign affairs coming to reject that speculations of the position if he hadn't died of natural causes and for an office volkswagens a hot or what to cause the opportunity to criticize the last, once again saying the if it was still low results over the forensic investigation boxes of asked was still drawing its own conclusions. she was apparently referring to numerous reactions from best implementations into beach. could this, these, upon the russian politics of the crabs and present food include the health and 2nd scene and your re, do we know how people are reacting to this? i mean, you know, he was a well known mine in russia. what are people saying about this? absolutely, people are shocked even though it was pretty quiet to both involved in the last few

years because he was in prison. he just mentioned, sometimes a comment on political things, but at all it all, it was quite about him, but people bring up bringing now flowers to the monuments of the political prisoners and russia. it's dangerous to do is also police is gathering around this uh, this, these monuments reportedly. so we'll see what's well next in the next days, i don't expect any mazda master, always about to. we'll see. you don't use eerie russia, so thanks so much for that. you're of us president joe biden says alexei nevada named bravely. it stood up to corruption and violence bite and added that he was outraged, but not surprised by the reports of newfound these death reports of his desk. it's a true i have no reason to believe it. or not, russian authorities are going to tell their own story, make no mistake. make no mistake. putting his responsible front of on his desk, putting is responsible. what has happened involving is yet more proof approves

patella's. knowing should be full, not in russia, not at home, not anywhere in the world. i also washington correspondent benjamin alvarez group for his reaction to president biden's comments. president biting came out appraising of all on the and i quote is a powerful voice of truth. he remembered what happened with that poisoning that he decided it to go back to russia, knowing what you would face the dangers that sadie called him brave. you called him dedicated call to the principal 3 correct domestic cities of the president. a put team does not have is that that have all the believe to deeply in the country and that the russian authorities will tell their own story. so quite similar to what we heard from vice president, kamala harris in a munich. and also we heard from secretary a blink and there, when he was asked about the confirmation, he said, we don't know exactly what happened, but directly in set the russia is responsible for the death of i'll explain of only

now present thought and is on public record saying that he personally wound the russian president vladimir, who said that if i like, like st of only died, that would be consequences for russia. what measures could we be talking about or this, right, it's president a bite and set that in june. and when he matched june off a few years ago, he also talked to the question saying that this happened 3 years ago is sanctions at the house in sanctions across the board. when he was asked during this press conference, after meeting the russian president in geneva, what the consequences would be of an excel, alec saying of only died in the jail. but you dodge the question now. he said that they have been sanctions all over the last couple of years, but knew when he would have to ask exactly what would happen. know if they will be any consequences. now for moscow. he said we have a number of options on the table. so not going into detail, there was a use this and the statement that he gave him the white house also to continue

pressing congress saying that it's important that this a bill and that additional help for a ukraine needs to be passed once again, smashed out, criticized a trump without naming him, he always talks about the previous a president. he also and criticized his statement, encouraging a russia to invade a nato, a territory. well, by instead of as long as i'm president, i will make sure that we defend every inch of nato territory, so we will still wait for other and other statements. i mean, we have today earlier and vice president come all the higher as she said, ross is responsible. we will have more it to say on this later. secretary blinking, who said, oops, spoke about a fixation and fear of one man only underscores the weakness, and roth is the heart of the system. the putting has built and from jacob sullivan, who said if it's confirmed, it's a terrible tragedy and keeping the russian governments long and sort of history of doing harm to his opponent. it raises real and obvious questions about what

happened to you and what we can expect later on. there already calls on social media. a calling for a pro test at is 6 pm in washington, in front of the russian embassy are really symbolic plays because, and that plays already has the name of for his name. so if it was a, a part of the alpha street here in dc, the, was it renamed after this critic that was shot and killed a in front of the kremlin, an opponent of russian president vladimir putin. that street has been renamed to the boys nymphs of plaza and there we 10 expect to protest that later on in front of the russian embassy here in washington, dc. and even l for as grew, but in washington, benjamin, thank so much for that. and other world leaders express the sorrow and dismay hats reports of i'll new stuff. this is of course, the terrible news which we are working to confirm. my prayers are with his family, including his wife julia, who is with us today and is confirmed. this would be

a further sign of prudence, brutality. whatever story they tell, let us be clear. russia is responsible. she did nothing wrong. she was in prison, 4 feet unsafe charges. and even if nobody pulled the trigger, we know that it was the conditions that would create the cube. and those conditions, where was the responsibility of president, whether it's uh, the whole serial face. so russian or the head of opposition, of no wiley, but himself and a lot of many, many, many russians. and most of what the russians was against was this review already died. you heard the news and this is actually quite tragic. and it shows the extent to which the russian leadership is willing to go to try to silence

the voice of the people. it just shows us what kind of uh, what kind of country we are dealing with. and it's a, it's, it's a tragedy in d. of the volley supports as a holding vigils and cities around the world of correspondent homes. brun spoke to me earlier from the russian embassy here in belen all the people, much of a discussion here is going on in the russian. much of the demonstration is being addressed and russian as many of the young people from russia who lived near in berlin or elsewhere in germany. i talked earlier, for instance, to a young woman who had just gone to the russian embassy to renew her passport when she heard about the difference of all i need. she was almost in tears. there were enough number of people here who have put on the smallest lit candles as the mode as a solemn, at times the people are in shock. but they're also saying that

in some way that work has to continue. i spoke to one of the organizers office of this protest, the yes gave me another another. i would like to ask a and e, and he is from the free nevada, in the movement here in germany. let's hear what he has to say. we're here to express all or not disappointment, but our commitment to what we are doing for their own. that's very important because booting strip of guns and crumbling especially before the elections in march are trying to do more lies us. and to stop our end to prep again to projects that we're doing and russia from, from, from europe, from the us. so, and that's why i'm more motivated to speak out. and of course.
