electrons in a test of public sentiment. following nationwide anti government protest. authorities struggle to get voters to the valid on the who are most welcome to the program. the russian opposition leader election of on the has been laid to rest in most schools. the fiercest critic of president vladimir putin died 2 weeks ago in a remote arctic penal colony side was ins gathered outside the church, where his funeral was held, in defiance of a heavy police presence and warnings from the kremlin. one human rights group says at least 65 people have been arrested at nationwide tribute. routes of moon is shaunte. russia will be free as a q outside the church and must go with the funeral of the next scene of only withheld. the anti corruption campaign,

a few months galvanized huge protests against the russian government. also, bruce, thousands to the streets of to his desk to bid him farewell to despite the police blockades and the risk of arrest the, there's something like 10000 people here. no one is afraid. we came here because we want to honor the memory of the person who is not scared of anything else. and we also have many of those here. it's just important to see people who agree that what happens is terrible and that there are a lot of people who think this will start to find just traditional public burials and the criminal and against what they called protests taking place outside the church.

inside the church, alexys family and friends pay. the final respects, the, the full of the coffin was transported to a cemetery near the banks of the most clouded river where his parents said good bye to the son, nevada, and these wife, julia novelle naya, was not present at the funeral. she is living outside of russia, saying she could be arrested if she returns the. she posted half a well to has been on social media sign king him for 26 years of happiness. she has vowed to continue her husband's work. while thousands of people

were allowed to bid farewell in moscow earlier, i asked a claim from the atlantic council if you was surprised that the kremlin allowed that many people to attend the funeral. i would say, i'm not surprised with how things went today. the kremlin wanted to avoid public shows of support for new volley, putin's greatest challenger and explicit defiance of the kremlin. if the kremlin tried to prevent a public gathering and of all these funeral, they really would have had to bring up the riot police. they would have had to forcefully keep people from paying their tributes. and that really would have resulted in images of the police cramping down and beating people in the streets. the kremlin, i think, probably made the calculation that it was better to avoid those images which could further turn, move only into a martyr, as well as those who would have separate police brutality for it. so i think that

this was the kremlin making a calculated choice, that this was the best way to, in a way, allow the russian society to let out some steam. mm. i mean with that being said, thousands of people were still arrested. so what kind of obstacles to it, the criminal into in the way of the funeral? well, there were a number of things the kremlin did in advance to trying to hamper the efforts to quite literally lay this man to rest. uh, it was difficult for and of all these families to get a hearse to carry his body for today. uh, different funeral agencies reported getting calls of intimidation, threatening them, telling them, do not do anything uh, to associate yourselves with no volume in his burial. as of the kremlin also brought out riot police today who watched over the thousands of people that came in the streets to pay their tribute, throwing flowers chanting no to war, and paying their tributes to involve me. and to all of us outside of russian,

yvonne, it was really the face of the occupational position, but how symbolic of a figure was he among the russian public as well. the volney elicited some feelings of relative apathy. among most russians, his core support was young. urban russians, he did not enjoy widespread support in russia, at least not publicly or by any measure of travel public opinion. most people simply saw him is getting involved in politics. something that often is looked down upon a bit still in the volley, elicited strong support. among those who did follow him going forward, it'll be worth watching to see just how much his wife julia takes up the mantle of leadership in russia's liberal opposition. she is abroad as well, and did not go back for the funeral today for fear of facing arrest just as he faced when he went back after being poisoned. exactly. so let's go into

a little bit more detailed there. what rule could yvonne, these widow actually play going forward? i think the russian opposition right now is that something of a turning point uh over the last 2 years with the war and with nevada only in a penal colonies. they've been spread abroad scattered before put and launched as full scale invasion of ukraine. he took great pains to write russian civil society in opposition to his rule. now they face a point. what comes next? what comes after and of only what can be advocated? is it simply going against prudence? is it going against the war? and i think that the, the opposition faces real choices. this could be something of a turning point, particularly with what could be real new leadership that play and always a pleasure. thank you so much. thanks for having. it's not president joe biden says the u. s. will be an air dropping supplies and 2 guys on

a day after more than a 100 past indians were code during an 8 delivery divide in administration is also looking at other ways to bring in more assistance. john car be of the national security council said israel supports the us air drop initiative and gave more details. united states will carry out air drops of 8 into a g as in coordination with our international partners, particularly jordan. in the coming days. we're also going to redouble our efforts to open up a humanitarian maritime court, or to deliver amounts of humanitarian assistance by c hopefully large amounts by c . this is of course, in addition to expanding deliveries by land, which we have been keenly focused on now for for many months will continue to push is re, is real, to facilitate more trucks going in and more routes being open so that more aid can get to more people to yet despite the us and, and spent the situation for god's us population remains dire, un is warning famine and gaza is almost inevitable. if

a deliveries don't increased significantly, you'll genuine playing flies even older than gaza. dropping packages of rice flour, baby, milk, and other essential items. palestinians gather in the ruins, streets below trying to guess where the aid packages will land. as people struggle to feed their families and made israel spite to destroy the militant group by mouth agencies, the cold air drops the measure of last resort because many dropped started to reach those most in need. yesterday and the day before they were at drops and the noise, but some of them the, the reach days where a the communities because of the air and the wind actually. and so the, the distribution is, is not clear for the people. and plus it doesn't reach all the categories

or the people who are still in the north. they've got this trip. the united nations warning of widespread hunger and gauze is getting more urgent. if something doesn't change, a famine is almost inevitable on the, on the car insurance. once a family needs declare, it is too late for too many people. the, is there, a 100 palestinians were killed off the crowd surrounded in a convoy and the on thursday morning. this video from the guitar e channel. ouch, is there a shows people climbing on the trucks to get to the supplies? shots rang out the how much run health authorities and survivors accused these really ami of shooting at the crowd. the talk to is it goes is overwhelmed. hospital struggle to deal with the injured when the heading,

a historic, low voter turnout. so this time around, we can also expect the same, even probably even lower because of the game regime legitimacy has been further further eroding also in the wake of the national uprisings that you mentioned earlier. so what we actually can expect in fact is that there was im gonna proclaim a fake voter turnout, political scientist alex, to show the image out there. well, there were dramatic scenes following a traffic and accident on a bridge. in the us state of kentucky, a truck collided with at least 2 other vehicles, leaving dangling over the edge of the clock memorial bridge. the truck driver was stuck in the hanging cab, but was rescued by emergency responders. the fire service said she was shaken, but appear to be in stable condition. or are you in same pictures there?
