reason many came. >> we came to protest because they killed a man, a man telling the truth. we think the authorities actions are a travesty of justice. >> i came because boris was killed. not only because of that we need to fight. i cannot look at this. we look around i want to shout people, i love you. >> reporter: boris nemtsov's face was everywhere the bullets that killed him said the banner was meant for all of us. also present were thousands of russian flags. a political statement in an era when opposition leaders like boris nemtsov are vilified on tv as traitors and mists. it -- columnists. it surprised many that a huge opposition rally has been allowed to take place in the center of moscow.

maybe the kremlin is thinking if grief and sorry is more manage ail public emotions than political anger. despite chanting this was sombre, quiet and well behaved. included in the 50 torso arrests, a ukranian mp detained on suspicion of involvement in an odessa fire killing 40 pro-russian demonstrators. >> big anti-kremlin marches are a rarity with freedom of assembly tightly controlled by the authorities. the challenge for russia's opposition is whether to turn the emotions generated by the murder into a re-energised push for political change. >> rory challands. >> footage released shows boris nemtsov in the moments before he died. a tv center released webcam

footage showing two figures on the bridge where boris nemtsov was shot on friday. a passing snow plough blocks the shooter. he is shown jumping into a passing car. he spoke about opposition to vladimir putin's policies and experience as an outspoken critic of the president. >> vladimir putin started a mad aggressive policy deadly for the country in a war against ukraine. there was documented evidence. i don't hide the fact that there is pressure on the opposition. lives are spread. one has to be strong to endure this. truth is stronger. all the protests and lies. the truth is stronger. >> former champion was a close personal friend and is an

outspoken russian political activist. i speak to him about the loss of his friend and what is means for the future of russia. when did you last speak to your friend boris and did you fear for his safety? >> i spoke last year. i had to leave russia two years ago, recognising that staying there could be dangerous. i know in february he at least in two interviews, he expressed fear. it was unusual, because i knew boris for 20 years, since 2004 was close in the organising protest and trying to come up with the peaceful formula of the transition. this was a man always full of life. >> not a fearful man. >> he was bursting with energy.

he was 55. you could be jealous of his energy. going against the tide. he was not afraid the bravest of us all. and he was the most vocal critic of vladimir putin's regime. boris was not going after vladimir putin. he had... >> after the system. >> the system. he concentrated on vladimir putin as a symbol of the system. some of his essays about vladimir putin's rule were phenomenal. when the opposition says it's marginal who cares, he was no threat, today you have hundreds of thus aned mourning boris yeltsin -- thousands mourning boris nemtsov. the rally got so many people that recognised the importance, and his work. that's why when people ask who

can benefit just in front of kremlin, and the answer is the only one vladimir putin's regime. you said to the associated press, if you have an 86% approval rating which is what vladimir putin says he has, it's reported in russia, why would you kill someone like boris. the russian government suggested perhaps he was killed by a colleague, and it could be blamed on the government. where do you fall on that. >> colleagues. so many enemies die. every time we look for someone else to come up with a theory that could satisfy the government. this time they talked about ukrainians islamic trarists, came up -- terrorists coming up with fantastic stories. he was murdered in front of kremlin, this is a place with more veto equipment than the studio or any studio in the world. by sent. the moment when he was shot and

the killer made six shots in two seconds tells you about the qualification. this stopped at the spot. covering the angle of the camera that could show the face of the killer. how many people knew the angle of the camera could follow boris yeltsin from the restaurant, and was moving walking across the bridge to his house. there were so many dark spots. i know where he lived, if you wanted to kill him, there were so many opportunities, it's the most videotaped place on this route. people who did it. they believed they would not be caught. >> the kremlin say there'll be a thorough investigation. having said that i suspect you don't agree that. how do you believe, will you go about having a thorough j investigation of what happened. >> we will not. everything vladimir putin

promised was falls. he keeps lying about everything that russian folks have been doing. how can we trust this man when he talked about his personal enemy. >> you can watch more of my interview tomorrow 9:00pm eastern on al jazeera america today in kiev protesters called on russia to release a ukranian airport pilot. the demonstration was viewed as a free day. she was accused of being involved in a military strike. she denies the charge and claims to have been kidnapped in east ukraine and has been on a hunger strike since december. her health is failing. >> she has will power, serving as an example in ukraine is unbreakable. we want to support her and her bother and cries day and fightand

[ chanting ] >> reporter: delegates to the conference of the u.s.'s most powerful israeli lobby group a.p.a. c were greeted by a small group of protesters. police were determined to keep the opponents outside on the

freezing pavement. >> in recent weeks opposition to the israeli prime minister serviced elsewhere, among politicians that have been staunch defenders. binyamin netanyahu's decision to address a joint session of congress without consulting the president obama administration led to a debate about the nature of the u.s.-israeli relationship. inside there seemed to be an attempt to gloss over any differences. u.s. politicians were on hand to give the audiences what they wanted. as we negotiated with iranians they toppled the capitals. >> what will they do with section relief money, do you think they'll build schools and hospitals? gip behaviour today, they are -- given behaviour today, they are likely to invest in more. >> last week policy was berated. john kerry asked for the benefit of the doubt and emphasised the

closeness to israel. >> i reviewed the record the other day. we have intervened on israel's behalf in the last two years, a couple of hundred times in over 75 different foray in order to protect israel. for some supporters that carries little weight. one group published this full-page advert in the "new york times". and attacks president obama's security advisors rice and suggests a divide between her and samantha power. shows of disrespect to the president obama administration intend fizz tensions. it's unclear how deep a shift is occurring in washington. 30 congressional democrats out of 232 said they will not attend

the address to congress on tuesday. >> it's not clear whether a wider, deeper debit is under way. as to whether strategic centers aline with those of israel and whether it needs to be re-examined. it is clear that the president obama administration has had enough of binyamin netanyahu speaking about the iranian programme, in a manner that does not conform to u.s. israeli intelligence agencies what they know to be the truth. later, we'll examine the issues behind the israeli prime minister's upcoming address to congress. the boko haram crisis is expected to play a major role in the presidential elections in nigeria, the issue is how incumbent jonathan goodluck is dealing with the security. the president addresses critics in an interview in lagos. >> reporter: with less than four

weeks to go president jonathan goodluck promised voters he'll defeat boko haram. >> we must end it. i'm telling you the stages. it's the tip of territories. taking over the territories they are holding. they are becoming weaker. now it will include us monitoring. to monitor the activities. and begin to pick them and frustrate the activities. the president denied accusations his government mishandled the book crisis. boko haram has been in touch with me. >> president jonathan goodluck stood for re-election. the vote was withhold because of violence in the north-east where boko haram is active. we asked whether the election date could be moved again. >> i don't think so. i think they have been conducted as national elections, 28th of

this month. i don't see why we should postpone again. i'm impressed with the successes, going on and they are not. i will win the election. >> if you don't, will you step aside. will you bow out grace fly. >> if by default someone wins election of course. i'll go to my village. the country is not. i want to stop. >> there are fears there could be election-related violence. more than 800 people were killed during the 2011 looction. i'm not happy. it's framive, it's very unexpected. and we are doing everything to reduce it. we need to recalibrate our security architecture to ham the elections, otherwise it will go into unnecessary crisis.
