failing to reach europe. london's opera house turns into a virtual battle ground. opposition supporters in russia are preparing to march through moscow in memory of murder he government critic boris nemtsov. a white car found abandoned after the killing. linking the superintendents to opposition groups rallying for support. rory challands has more. >> this murder beside the blood red walls of the kremlin has shocked many. >> it is a tragedy for the whole country for any thinking people. >> translator: people like him are very important in any

country especially here. people like him who can lead others who can follow their views and who are honest. >> translator: it's hard for me to talk about it. i just feel sorry for him as a person. he was murdered. i don't know if it was a provocation or not. but it doesn't matter. this person is a part of our history. for some, he was a positive figure. for some, negative. >> each one of these flowers have been left for a man that at one point was considered to be a potential successor ofist elliot of boris elliotyeltsin. ambassadors and dignitaries came

with a message that the way russia investigates this crime will be watched closely in capitals far away. >> we are gathered with the eu ambassadors to pay our respects and lay flowers at the site of the killing of mr.ist nemtsov. >> what do you think it's an important thing to do? >> as said, it's a brutal murder and we are appalled by the killing. we expect the russian authorities of course to find culprits and bring them to justice. >> the investigation which vladimir putin has pledged to take a close interest in is already underway. but political murders in russia have a habit of going unsolved. s on saturday, police investigators examined the white car found abandoned. >> first of all, of course it is the possibility that the murder could be a provocation to

destabilize the political situation in russia. and indemnify could become a sacrificial victim for those who would not stop before using any means to reach their political goals. >> that's a theory dismissed by the opposition leaders sympathizers, they say the kremlin is responsible for his murder. maybe not directly but at least because the government has created the environment where it could happen. rory challands, al jazeera moscow. >> fred weir joins us. it is the case that indemnify was very much portrayed certainly by the state media as a traitor against the kremlin. >> yes and we have had a real whipping up of patriotic

feelings. the society has become extremely polarized and people who even just a few years ago were considered to be maybe opposition critics or something now are considered enemies. and this is quite explicit on tv, in newspapers and so on. people like nemtsov sort of morphed into traitors and enemies in the official, you know, view and that's what most russians get. so yes this extreme polarization is a product of kremlin politics. we also have this war it's a secret sort of war but it's clearly going on in ukraine and russian volunteers ultranationalists are going coming back with that combat experience and with their own expectations. we saw this before when we had wars in chechnya. the whole society becomes

brutalized as in the murders in the past such as anna politskaya, the war that's happening just under the radar screen. >> in your assessment, will anything change? an outpouring of grief and anger and accusations and the opposition are expected to march today but at the end of the day, does it make them stronger? >> it's hard to say. i think much will depend on the turnout. but it is clear, that the state the kremlin in the first place is stepping aside and letting this march happen. letting the outpouring of grief forrist nemtsov take place. owners for boris nemtsov take place. it is a good thing that maybe there will be a realization that things have gone too far in

this hyperpatriotic atmosphere, it does have social consequences when you do that but i wouldn't hold a lot of hope for that. >> fred, thanks very much for that fred weir in moscow there. hamas says egypt is setting a dangerous precedent. a first time an arab court has condemned the group. denies that its fighters in north sinai have been attacking egyptian security forces. >> translator: it is a shocking and dangerous decision that targets palestinian people goes against the rules that makes israel the friend and hamas the enemy. it will directly directly contaminate the relationship of egypt.

thanks very much indeed for joining us. hamas saying this is a shocking and dangerous decision, makes a friend out of israel. what do you make out of this decision from the egyptian court? >> well, i think it has to be seen in the context of the jingoistic and zen exen compensateic xenophoneic relationships. if egypt is now no longer able to mediate either between the rival palestinian movements

hamas and feda, and the next time there's a conflict and there's increasing signs there will be another conflict that basically marginalizes egypt regionally. at the same time, i would say this lawsuit was brought by a lawyer in a private capacity rather than being a political decision by the government and we'll now have to see to what extent the egyptian government adopts this court resolution and seeks to operationalize it. >> there's been talk about how hamas are being isolated. we do know they have powerful allies like qatar like turkey but what about countries like saudi arabia, uae jordan where you are. there is more concern about rise of islamist groups and they're no quite so friendly with hamas are they? >> well, hamas has largely been

boycotted throughout the region with the reception of qatar and turkey since it won the elections, palestinian legislative elections in 2006 and then seized power in the gaza strip in 2006. there have been at various times various forms of relations with of course other governments throughout the region, saudi arabia until 2007, egypt although egypt has dealt with the palestinian question, basically as a security file for at least the past decade rather than as a central political question in the region but yes. hamas is not only isolated, it's increasingly isolated. and i think the situation in egypt is of particular relevance here. because that's the gaza strip's only window on the world.

and hamas has held sway. >> existence of gaza right next door to egypt. >> well, in terms of immediate impact, it is not clear what impact it will have because as you know hamas's military wing have already been declared a terrorist by egypt and more importantly the egyptian authorities have been systematically blowing up the areas on the gaza strip in egypt and this unprecedented campaign to seek to hermetically seal the gaza strip from the egyptian sinai. and the position is that the gaza strip and specifically hamas are largely responsible for the problems in sinai.

egypt would be facing largely the same problems that it does today, in the gaza -- in the sinai peninsula because the dynamics behind those problems are very much egyptian rather than egyptian-palestinian. >> thank you very much indeed, live from amman in jordan. as the security situation don't deteriorate in libya many are returning. nicholas hawk has been speaking with some of the men who have just returned home. >> they return home to senegal empty handed hungry and shaken. words come up again and again about their treatment in libya. violence and racism.
