6 to heights. 047 year old alexia botany is the latest in a series of high profile political dissidents, business, ty coons and military commanders, allegedly threatened, poisoned honest, fascinated by the kremlin. in february 2015, outspoken puts in critic, voice and himself were shot from behind and killed on a bridge near the kremlin, the former vice premier of russia was in moscow helping to organize a riley against the government. 5 chechnya bull most unreasonable charged over his murder. the identity of the person who hired them is still unknown. in march 2018 russian double agents, guy, st. paul and his daughter julia were poisoned an english town of souls pre k investigation, blamed russia for the attack. moscow denied involvement. discreet pals were lucky to survive. the same could not be said of another defect poisoned any u. k. all who members who liked the echoes of the death of alexander in yankee,

in 2006, the form a russian agent, alex on the let been young co slipped to london in 2000 and became ill and died in 2006 of the drinking tea lice with radioactive polonium 210. a british inquiry found his killing had been ordered at the highest level, also killed in 2006 was on a public coach guy, a. a journalist whose reporting during the 2nd chechen will also have threatened and poisoned prior to execution any elevator of her apartment block another to have survived the ledge. poisonings is flooded. me a kind of moats uh, a full. i'm a protege of boy's name, soft and public critic of puts in. he's been imprisoned in russia since april 2022 for speaking out against the war and ukraine from prison cut remote. so remains vice chairman of the human rights group opened russia, founded by mikhail quoted club ski, a former political prisoner currently exiled cooling for civil reform and russia. russia is invasion of ukraine,

led to one of the most high profile suspected assassinations. yet with pushing confidence turned critic, you gave me precautions. killed in a plane crash. last august. the leader of the most and revolving the group, had launched a short lived rebellion against the russian military leaders 2 months earlier. i, alexia valley is the latest figured to be killed of, to speaking out against pollutants, governments. and arguably the most prominent vixen yet. okay, or giles as a rush analyst at chatham, highways and international affairs think tank in the u. k. we asked him, it's such a high profile death could inspire more widespread opposition potentially. but of course we have to remember that russia has been preparing for this moment. for some time, they've been putting themselves in a position where they don't have to be concerned about public expressions of discontent and weighing up the balance of removing the phone. you as an irritant, who actually gathers quite a lot of foreign policy and criticism of russia against what it will take to,

to repress those expressions of consent and unexpressed. it's a morning within russia. you can see why this is a good bet for the rest of the state because they have long ago behind any pretense of being a responsible country. the place. but any form of recognizing. ready and instead, they are back to behaving as a rogue states that commits motor without a qualm. that was care. giles, i rush analyst at chatham. the world leader is gathered in munich, are focusing on global security. the wars and gaza and ukraine. talk the agenda. the head of nato says the russian invasion has exposed gaps and the alliances resilience with the death of alexi, novelle. and they still resonating and the security of the free world. at the center of the munich talks, america's top diplomat stress the importance of taking part. if you're not at the table in the international system, you're going to be on the menu, the reserved for me. there was an optimism about the warren gauze in dire moments. we have, i think there's an extraordinary opportunity for israel in the months ahead to

actually once and for all and that cycle. and it's because there's some new facts that didn't exist before when our efforts to make peace between israelis and palestinians, starting with the fact that virtually every our country now generally wants to integrate israel into the region to normalize relations if they haven't already done so to provide security assurances and commitments so that is real, can feel more safe and more secure. you train more, coming up on the 2nd anniversary was also on everyone's mind the year of 2020 for the most your response from everyone in the world. if we do not at no fortune, we'll manage to make the next year's catastrophic, catastrophic and for all the nations as well intelligence community are aware of

this ukraine has already seated miss with leads for us to try to try the cloud reality and reach the world unfortunately believes they miss the project good to capture and all that concert in a few days or weeks. whatever it was, your brain is, have been holding for 724 days. nearly a week after donald trump threatening not to protect nato members who failed to meet their 2 percent of g d. p. contribution of germany's defense minister was up the page. i'm proud to say that this year we will spend over 2 percent of our gdp on defense in germany. german chancellor, all off schultz underlined that commitment. yeah, yes, money that we spend now and in the future for our security copy spent elsewhere. we feel that. but i also say without security,

everything else is nothing on the missions. as the lansky warrants against this waning western support, ukraine's armed forces have withdrawn from one of the siege, tired, after months of heavy fighting. the prisons, new army commander had alexander sir, escape says, troops are being pulled. i should have dave call to avoid being in circles. the retreat as rushes biggest success on the battlefields institute for city of sophomore last year. i us and our correspondent net connolly, and keith says russia is making the most of the ukrainian withdrawal. this tells us mostly that russia was desperate for something they could sell as a victory, desperate to move even a few kilometers fluids. and they have basically thrown everything they've got at the city. they have come straight to choose number of the battalions that brigades . they have thrown hundreds of glide booms at the printing defenders that it is

basically a repeat all possible you just mentioned that which is not very far away. and it is a similar scenario whether ukrainians now at risk of being surrounded that one major roads coming in to have dave because it was crucial for all the supplies, but also for food at that was now under what is known as part of control of the russians, they could fire from both sides and the decision was taken but to avoid the risk of being surrounded and losing the troops either to rush or sailing or to being taken prison that they would leave before it was too late. i think the instructive thing looking at this and comparing it to button, what is the off button, what we didn't see, the russians able to really kind of create some kind of snowball effect and push them much further forward. they took back moved and then basic. they were exhausted, they had lost so many men. we don't have good figures about how many russians have died. we certainly will be able to see read arguments that the last is on the russian side. attacking have been far higher than when the ukraine started. subsea much easier to defend and this is in the bigger picture is probably the logical

thing to do, even though it's something that doesn't go down well we don't we ukrainians when you speak to them about this dw net connolly and keith. let's take look not at some other stories making headlines today. size ins, riley during the german city of cologne, demanding the release of the head of the curtis done workers party or p k. k. a deal or klein was jailed in turkey 25 years ago. p k. k is seen as a terror organization by turkey. the us and the european union. a foreign minister, victor orvin, says hungry is parliament can ratify sweden's membership of nature later this month's hungry is the only natural country which has not yet backed the swedish bed to join the alliance. oregon's policy previously claimed sweden accused it of undermining des moines. 8 months old and hundreds of demonstrators have rallied in senegal, demanding elections, accord, overcharged president mackey solid decision to postpone the vote scheduled for later this month. saul is promising to advise 5 and
