the chief says vladimir person will be held to account for an invalid. these dis, i'm on your cooper's mckinnon invalid. and this is the day the theme, the 3 days ago, blood in their porch and killed my husband. i'll exceed the body. i'll explain, i'll explain. the bony was one of the most visible members of the position who courageously stood up for freedom. we have to send the message of support, the physician, the russian authorities, and president putin personally, there full responsibility for his death. also coming up life in the war tool and keep in ukraine, all correspondent visits the city on the front line as the will with russia approaches. it's 2nd anniversary. my know, every time

a siren goes off my legs shake because it's scary because you don't know what's going to happen. but the, the question of safety in the country that is being boned is a very uncomfortable question. in my opinion, there's no place where you can hide me. i'll go with me so that the worst columbus welcome to the show you the nfl, naya the widow of russian opposition. leda alexei, nevada, only has accused of letting it puts in of killing her husband and has vowed to continue his walk in a video posted on social media platform x. she cooled on support is to resist pollution and fight for a free russia. it's been 3 days since rational authorities announcement of all these death. so far they've prevented his family and allies from seeing his body. that is, it gets a video julian about and i said she didn't want to make calling out the russian president vladimir putin for murdering her husband. why does that in the days since

alexis, of all these death, his wife has made it clear, she won't be intimidated. into silence, you'll find me all kinds of 3 young as well as the mid 3 today's the gulf lodging there. poor jim killed my husband. i'll explain the volume you put to him, killed the father of my children's in votes and took away the dearest thing. i had the closest and most beloved this russian authorities have so far refused to hand over and of all his body to his family. his mother went to the investigative office near the prison where her son died to get his body and left empty handed. a kremlin spokesperson condemned and of all night of statements and said the death was being investigated according to law. and of all the calls that a cover up for a 2nd poisoning of her husband. after an attempt to kill him with the nerve agent, nova chuck failed in 2021 late to see in the mean uncovered refreshing. then now hiding his body, not showing it to his mother, giving it to her, and pathetically line,

and waiting for the traces of most which is now be choked to disappear, which call me at moscow is wall of grief. mourners have left bouquets and messages for lexi in of on the, in the snow. the side come memories, victims of soviet repression. in an environment where it's dangerous to show public grief or an of only, it's the closest thing to an official memorial for the opposition leader. and we can speak next with the former prime minister of russia, mikhail because he on of was the 1st head of president vladimir putin is government from 2000 to 2004. he left the country just off the russian invasion of ukraine in 2022. welcome to the w, sir. do you agree with you to a novel, naya that your former boss, the lot of the person is responsible for the death of elect, fine, developing a substitute? there is no doubt about this. uh, nobody knows the rest of the loan for the flu and was kept in in lamps and tortured

sorta 3 years. and though he was killed, he was killed by a we don't know exactly the circumstances of others. definitely definitely do the whole lot. so it is important, but sequel responsible for he's this some off suggesting the russian government is the torturing the valid these relatives by holding onto his remains. do you think this is another kind of power play? yeah, that's the case. so that's the case, but i think that's what it is right now. what do i notice about just the funeral? they don't know how to arrange these, how it will be arranged by support. so, so far they see in the bottom, in by the family and by the political forces in, in any case just this from there will be an opposition demonstration. and so it gets uh, very much afraid about them. that's why they don't know what to do. they will keep

the body, they can do this for the keep them for 4 months for us to do that. so even more, but i think that's what, that's what they did as the kids just, they're thinking what to do with these if you. yeah. and the volume is correct, but our husband was ordered, killed is the do you think any trump this could back flat and spark a much more determined opposition? one potentially that really could lead to pushing down full for i don't think so. right now the in the rest of the article c o o fee or exist and people, i've freights as kids to go on the streets and then to the most or them, you know, just they have some support of somebody saying that why me, when they knew about the kidding go, him just updates on the see some of hundreds of them. well, the rest of them for, for, for folks certain periods of time that is, that is what put in the range of these, you know, several previous years. just put them in jail, some activities that either so

a position many, many awfully. it is just bless dresser and the majority of people just keeping silence. so they've supplied the insights on those who are this impossible to have . another was a reinvigoration of upfront this moment. we didn't see a lot of it was uh why don't believe this yourself has been deemed a, a foreign agent in russia since last year doesn't develop these death make you feel for your own life. the uh, best range of the yes, the jumpstart is named me as a sort of asian. that is absolutely, absolutely a strange thing just to be. i am lots of information from agents or demographic dresser. just i present the different categories of as many wives of all of us. so that's 200 people who move this author, which is just named this one. imagine we are fighting for through, we are fighting for democrats of russia, and that's why just be just not acceptable for most of what it needs to put on

believes that the adults critics of users name could be either crazy people or for him, asians. that's what's the situation these in terms of security, of course, my dear friends, the board as himself more of was keels just on the ground rules 9 years ago. now i see a lot of me killed in the, in the prison, just many other of my friends and activists and my color braces are in prison. already the radius samson said, oh, some of them just ways income. they some of them on the, again, on the torture, this is asians awful. that's why that's why of course, every normal custom says is a freight the about to use to give or to have that those go. so who saying some through spoke to people and just greg decides that. so richard beth, if this evasion in the russia, unfortunately the demo, but in any case we believe it sooner or later. i believe just some this is the

issue. was that changing on the was a stall pressure and internal warning as well? because people write this stuff to jury come see the 2 of them is the point and they see how many thousands of people killed them. they buckled sealed, and they see what's are pressed on was going inside the dresser, and i think that's, that's what god bless long. i'm. if, if i can ask you about your work with the exiled a politician to make me come a sort of coffee and the chest champion, a garry kasparov, you're working to build an international, a position athletic, a person, and the ukraine will. but if person can seemingly kill people like developing a within puna, see, what can you realistically achieve as a, as an opposition we rely on no friends in the, in europe, in the western conference. russia is the democratic come to by constitution,

but by the attitudes there is no single feature of democracy in kind of the dresser right now. and we would like to see our country as a bottles of the civilized family. that's why we just, yeah. also asking just officer ideas and the body to go forces in the european countries to 3 dresser as a democratic country. but people jump as it dictates that that's the, the efforts that is, that is this the, what we were looking for the support of democratic forces. we were looking for support of the brain beach fighting for a day. so rainy day and the integrity of for the independence and we fighting over to these terms we can for, for our freedom voltage. mr. cause you enough. come, i ask you a question. i think many people are asking themselves at the moment. why didn't the vote and the go back to russia off the he was poisoned, he recovered here in berlin. surely he knew by going back, but he would be arrested and quite possibly killed. um,

it's very sensitive, point sensitive question. me. i personally ask. so i'd say not to come what months prior to he was there, but he is, he is coming back to russia. i. busy to him and ask him not to come back this time . i don't know why he came in in january that i bought the there used was absolutely a hide uh old, low low though, of course. and that was he was the result for years being appraisal. but so it is taking him forever. that's the origin was clear after after his arrest, he'd think of this risk he was very doesn't was the very brave goes on t, as was really the, the off of st. processed. are you, these are of browsers and the people following to and the fact that opposition just last a very i would say very important doesn't very brave, but a do some,

a be we have a suffering colors and weeks express outcomes. all this is to, to, to a family, to, of course, and to all he's support us here, mikael castiano, a former russian prime minister flooding, a person living in exile since the status of the ukraine will. thank you so much for your time and for speaking to us on d. w. thank you very much. process says it has taken full control of the east and that ukrainian town of, of these come off to ukraine, pulled its troops out on saturday. now this footage from russian state media shows russian soldiers occupying the now ruined former industrial hub in the building bass region. moscow is claimed that ukraine's retreat was so rushed and poorly planned that some ukrainian forces were left behind. you cranes, military has acknowledged casualties during the withdrawal that says the situation is stable. taking of the sca is most goes biggest,

went on the bustle field since the capture of the city of buff moot last may look tray unless frank language told us earlier that the perception that russia is on its way to winning the war and ukraine on the brink of collapse is overblown. it's it's a slightly defeat, but i would say a couple of things. first of all, but this was the question. so you know the last 6 months of when ne, ukrainians way to precarious position. now they have what's called the salient or capital, but i mean there's no bright side particularly to this, but what couple of observations on won't fail. the russians to say, 1st of all, there's no question here and type of gauge, big and circled, captured and killed. you credit the statement is to withdraw from that statement and said to be conducted quite to the effective defense west of it. but there's no equally, no doubt that strategically this comes at a very bad time. obviously,

the decisions to be made in the us called aggressive you crate the message, passing me crazy with hope with a big one is continuing success. and this isn't like, i say, this is what you'll save time because unfortunately, but the credit associated to with go to reasonably by the counting start as a basic, reasonably good order. if you look at it on the map, it's about 20 kilometers from the center of go rather than that city. and it was the last place from which you crate to the last decade or so was able to shallow minutes. dennis the city which is a huge of balance smooth the russians. so to that extent it's, it's significant other by the, the argument made by somebody is clearly not the case. i think that this is somehow the key to don't boss. so even though net scope lost, it's not, it's not about it, especially significant strategic places. it's significant, slight saving spotwood in the fact that it was being held that it was something of an embarrassment. so i think everyone consented to move, not to about it,

or of the ukrainian president below them is lensky has visited troops at the north eastern sex of the front line. video, released by the ukranian president's office has such assurance lensky and to come on send. so near the city of co penske copy on squaws originally captured by russia, then liberated by ukraine. and it's a 2020 to counter offensive assess the light of these has been the focus of increased russian attacks since last or some they to this week. it will be 2 years since russia's full scale invasion of ukraine began. exactly how many civilians have been killed is unknown, but it is thought to be in the 10s of thousands. early on in the war and march 2022, russian f force bombed fish during the siege and the port city of mario bull. ukraine says $300.00 people, including many children, were killed, the russia plains. the theater was blown up by the ukrainian as of regiment,

without providing evidence of that claim. the following month old and 60 people were killed in the eastern city of chroma tools. when mister wild struck a railway station, when it became known that civilians had been killed and injured, rational source, these again put the blame on ukraine. these 2 incidents with just the beginning, dw max on the reports now from hockey. do you remember this? it went viral after a russian attack on a residential area and hard case. the survivors of staring at what remained of their home. the russians said they had hit a chemical weapons factory. they said the couple were paid actors. honest us here off try to include and her daughter embodying that say, that's ridiculous. the tell us they left their apartment minutes before the impact . it's almost us and the video with her husband followed the man she didn't want to join us for the interview. over the summer, when i said is video now,

of course it's not a planned video. it's about supporting each other. so when we realized everything we had was lying there on file, it's actually a very sad moment. but let's hope we can achieve victory before the russians could make more missiles and destroy our homes and lives. their apartment was on the side of the building that was directly hit. all that's left is the quarter to 10 of their neighbors died, including an 8 year old girl. unless of course the civil apartment just got it here here and here it was the top one and the fest to be hit many things with thrown out it's causing the cell low. every time a siren goes off my legs shake because it's scary because you don't know what's going to happen. but the number,

the question of safety in the country that is being boned is a very uncomfortable question. in my opinion, there's no place where you can hide me. i'll go with me. said that the worst, columbus across town. another sight of recent rushing destruction, the hockey's palace hotel managed to keep running through most of the war. it was at hub for foreign journalists. we've often stayed here ourselves. director all hustling cold, takes us inside a missile hit on the day before new year's eve looking at the damage. it's difficult to believe no one died here, not even the person working out the gym. a settled cubic human 12 years. we've been in hockey's and it's been a place for all significant celebrations, children's birthdays, weddings, business meetings. and we go used to the fact that there was always a lot of peaceful people here who considered this place to be a landmark for social events and for goods peaceful intentions stuck on the seat

with the, the little needed 15 guests were staying at the hotel at the time, the people wanting to celebrate the new year and still many of the new kind of guests. so what was the list there with journalists from all over the well issue? i think we had become a hub for those people who needed to show you the whole well, what was happening with them and wants to be for sure to the boy to the russians, claimed the hotel was used as a hall by military personnel, but never provided proof, we never saw soldiers here during our stays. you all know most of what you like, han explain their actions. i think it's absurd, stud, destroying, civilian buildings, civilian facilities, hospitals. i believe that this is unacceptable. i can damage the filter. she shows us a video from the beginning of the more international journalist here in the lobby

and the local pianist waiting to invite this musician to visit us again. he's become a close friend of ours. that will definitely be music here again. and people and life. good will try out for the evil the plan is to repair the hotel and reopen as soon as possible. many wars begin and are justified with lice. the russian attack and ukraine is no difference . marina anastasio of that change goes home, never existed. according to the russian narrative. it says none of this is real. i wore it only twice. the women no better than that, but all that is left. now, our memories, the un is warning of widespread

famine in garza with one and 4 people facing salvation. a suit deliveries, struggle to get through. the majority of a trucks cross through rough uh, on egypt sported with gaza, that heavy bombardment is hampering assets following us prussia. israel opened the form of goods crossing at carom fillum as well as an inspection station at net sauna. both have been blocked by is ready the protests, the w as rebecca versus reports now from the port city of i stowed this port should be processing much needed food donations for gallons, a but it's not. these riley government isn't a baffle. we've own run the agency task with distributing the aid and it's blocked its passage. shipping containers of rice flour chick pays and even cooking oil enough to fade more than a 1000000 people for about a month. a stock here in the fort city of ash dawn,

less than 70 kilometers from rough us. and the people who so desperately made it talk about these people and making it even to a to get through the group is ready. protest is rep and it's on a border crossing with egypt trying to fill up the trunk that brought him for his writing inspection. the french's rainy rachel tree, too, was among one of the 1st to take action to help form a group called 59 and says it support is growing. we started uh months ago, we were 40 for 50 people, protesting. now we are the on the, on our greatest day, we were 400 and it's been only 5 weeks. they site is riley media room that suggest the majority of the aides that makes it into gaza. is divided by him. us as the reason they move again, we are basically blocking uh the money to a what i called in humanitarian aid that goes into guidelines falls into the hands

of comma, the convoys enclosed. but it also includes fuel. the fuel is what is very problematic for as well. we're fighting come us. and on the 2nd hand, we are giving him the fuel to continue to fight us 20 minutes. the turn of the sale, the i ration system and the end date is 360 in a statement to dw owners says, there is no evidence of systemic the version of aden garza my him. off for any of the groups have 9 claims to represent a cross section of his riley society that most people, if this protest, 4 distinct clothing of fall, writes and religious activists. those surveys suggest blocking aid is a majority opinion with international pressure on the government to allow aid in these protests. they doing what the government cons. everybody here's here and these relatives mornings the losses that we've had to enjoy in gaza. and on the 2nd

hand, our government is given international, giving aim to international pressure, and is giving out the, the, your many turn a, the, to our enemy. these other attempts have proved successful, not in completely preventing a transfer, but certainly hampering it's floating somewhere between one and 200 trucks full of 8 as opposed to come through to get processed by these radio. socrates before heading back up to rafa and crossing into gauze. but we haven't seen any the process today non have come through the protest to say, but then i'm is a small, that's because of them that the crossing has been closed. a good day for the protest is who signed bell k pump a civil disobedience for as long as it takes while they protest the situation for civilians in gaza. it's more desperate by the day now to australia is remote christmas island, where

a unique natural phenomenon has been disrupted the annual read crab migration. every year, millions of crabs cross the island to reach the amazing grounds. but for the 1st time on record that johnny is coming to mum flights. experts say it's because of climate change. typical crab migration from days gone by. over 100000000 red cross stations, crawling across the roads and forests toward the indian ocean. to meet and lay the rigs. these animals are unique to christmas island, which is mostly a national park, and they enjoy protected status. here. in the past, the roads would have been covered in cloud creatures. but now the streets and beaches are almost empty. the annual truck has gotten no storage light start. experts say climate change is to blame. christmas island received only half as much rainfall as usual over the past year. the dry conditions keep the crabs from

leaving their burrows and fulfilling their pilgrimage. the health stuff that we had in december, they got going with a couple of millimeters and they, the ones that started to moderate in december quickly realized that they had made a mistake and 10 pack wildlife experts and residents on christmas island take precautions to co exist with their crappy neighbors, but even a hard shell and sharp claws can protect them against the dangers of global climate change. and that's the show for today from the entire team on the day. thanks so much for spending part of your day. with the
