his lawyers have to be gone. a legal challenge at london's high court. the . i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program, the mother of russian opposition leader. alexei nev only has made a direct appeal to vladimir putin for his body to be released. the volley was declared dead on friday at a siberian prison, but according to a spokesperson for his family, russian investigators have said that his remains will not be returned for another 14 days. the kremlin has denied accusations from the vall and his wife that he was murdered, describing the claims as of noxious an unsubstantiated more on that in a moment. but 1st, let's hear from some of that video appeal from the mother of alexi know on a this is the mice been the who is behind me is the prison colony where my son, alex st. of all new,

died on february 16th for 5 days. i have not been able to see him means that they have not released his body to me and have not even told me where it is. yeah, but if i appealed to you, letting me a poor 10 because this resolution of this problem depends solely on you this and you look, let me finally see my son. i demand that alex stays body you released immediately so that i can bury him properly till age keep recruiting. and let's get more on this. i'm trying to buy data, use russia, analyst constantine, egret, who is joining us from vilios. so, you know, constantine, we have this plea now from alexei novalis mother and i'm just wondering, you know, what is the hope of making this plea? is she speaking with food in himself, or is this more geared towards an international audience? because one can hardly imagine that this will sway poor as well. correct? so right. i don't think it was way put them. i think that whole uh, uh,

sort of set top and round nevada's these, this is designed to inflict psychological torture on his family and to essentially send a message to the west. all, all he loved him, the fulton do not really care whether you recognize me as president. and all i do is i please on the territory of the russian federation. and you're not going to do anything about it because you are unable to and um, what we see is actually uh this uh, already at least i think part of pollutants also. uh, revealed to was uh, the russian state use agency. uh, just the basically like, probably about an hour ago uh, revealed that some the rush investigative authorities if they can because so i started another, a criminal proceedings against the brother of late alexi, nevada. oh. like who lives outside the rush, but uh,

opening another criminal case against the brother of the deceased acquisition just is something that i think tells you everything you need to know about the criminals . yeah, well how, how are you interpreting it as well? it's just a message. busy a absolute firmness and absolute decide, frankly speaking, to destroy everything that remains of nobody is influenced in russia, and it is a message to the west. i have lots waived this way, the sorry, the full by you a sort of far ringing off hands about the valley. i'm strand. i'm going to continue the way i please. and by the way this, i think it's very much geared up to the off them off of the so called presidential election when the west will have to decide whether to continue talking to was able to put him at the end of this completely stage plebiscite. i want to talk with you

a little bit more about the volume is why? because i mean, she's always been a for us, but in the past few days, um, you know, you have seen her really a merge quite strongly despite her grief, saying that she is going to continue her husband's fight very inside. ugly, has the opposition movement has gained a new figurehead? yes, i think about this very serious claim by hughley and then why did they have bought so far? russian, that positions been pretty much dis united on many issues. like for example, of how to formulate it's at the, to, towards pollutants, aggression to get us to crate and to unite. all these disparate sections of good are small position. usually i will have to kind of apply a lot of political skill to hope she does have it, but it has to be seen whether she can succeed. this is a very, very difficult endeavor. indeed. the w rush, analyst constantine, i got thank you. thank you. slick a week's founder, julian,

a sorry meantime, has appeared in the u. k. court and what might be his last chance to stop extradition to the united states. lawyers for the 52 year old se, but he is on well there at london's high court, trying to persuade judges there to grant a new appeal hearing. sanchez wanted by us, prosecutors who want to put him on trial on spying charges. a crowd of a sondra supporters had been outside the court protesting for his release. they fear that if the proceedings fail, he could be put on a plane to the united states straight away, as long as his wife fears that he could die if he ends up being extradited. days before the u. k. cool. let's consider whether to extradite julian a songs to the us. his wife issued a heartfelt plea for his release. his health isn't declined mentally and physically . his life is a risk. every single day he stays in prison. and if he is

extradited, he will die. but it's not just about him being expedited. should julian should never have been put in prison in the 1st place, the to day hearing maybe as soon as his final chance to prevent expeditions to the us where he faces a prison sentence of up to a 175. he is assault just been a wanted man since 2010 of these which were blowing for him, which he likes published classified us all the materials supplied by intelligence, analyst delete, consign documents and video footage from the was enough dentist on a new rac summit associated with shocking, seemingly implicating us troops impossible war crimes. i believe that if those 2 things were law for under the rules of engagement, when the rules of engagement are wrong, deeply wrong. as for your cards, many applauded as long as you steal,

it's nice in shedding lights on the murky side of armed conflict. he was showered with the woods and voted readers' choice. the time person of you have in 2010, bought so many others, the leaks when nothing short of treason and a song as a dangerous enemy of the states. in november, 20 times swedish authorities issued an arrest warrants for sullens. off the 2 women accused him of sexual assault. and right, he lost the legal battle to fight extradition to sweden. bottom file assault in short, refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy. the embassy would become his home for the next 7 years. spots in 2019, the ecuadorian embassy had had enough of its controversial logia police, were invited in at a rest at his own. now he's facing exposition to the us. something he supports us feel is an attack on free speech itself. this piece has alarming implications for journalism and trust, freedom around the world. not least of all as he would be. the 1st publisher tried under the us espionage act which lots of public interest defense. we would add some

reporters without borders that there should be a political solution, but that it must involve no further time in prison. for julian, in any country should have shown she's appeal be thrown out by the courts. he's next impulsively. final hope to avoid exposition may rest with the european court human rights. the w corresponding fair, good mass is at london's high court, and explained what is happening in the proceeding so far. or yeah, just come back from the high code you just behind me. judy and hassan just to you all setting out that case and that may knock your monday. so this is a political case that's a extra lodging into the us would be political interference into free speech. they also mention something quite extraordinary. that has to be reported on, but not very widely. and which is an indication that there was a c r a prox, to kids up and to poison him while he was hiding in the ecuadorian embassy. and

they said that they have specific evidence that supports that. then they want that also to be taken into account by another british court. so these are the reasons why they argue that and now the appeal should actually be gone to, to julian this on, there's quite a crowd behind you. what are a sondra supporters saying? yeah, really big crowd. so we're seeing people from all over the well, the feats spoken to people from australia, they're a human rights activist. yeah. they're, uh they are um, organizations like reporters without voters, the unions of supporting a members of parliament. and they basically all united in that they're saying he's a journalist and whatever he has done is covered by freedom of speech. so we've spoken to a few people and let's have a listen to what they had to say. massage is a speak is a truth teller. he is not a criminal, he shouldn't have even spend one second in any prison. why am i here?

because it's the most important political decision in the entire world for every one that we have a free press. it's just basically just the freedom of press that and freedom of speech that should be supported. always seeing more sense to ship a caring. and if he's extra died and then it's a little bit of a shot down full media and freedom of the press. okay. so barriers, you know, given all of that, what we're hearing of julia massages appeal, sales. what happens next now? so here's the pauses of saying that there is a race, but he would actually be with the way straight from the quote onto a plane. and then on to the united states, we don't know if that's going to happen. how realistic that is. we have today for the assange team and tomorrow we're expecting the, the us team to make that case. they obviously want them to be expedited. so this is

really this last john's to us to us for an appeal. if he doesn't get disappear, the john 7 other appeals then his team was saying that they're going to appear to the european court of human rights. we have a mass outside of london, high court. thank you. and all lies will be on the un security council later today. we're a vote on a new cease fire resolution for gaza is expected to take place. us has already said that it plans to veto the all jerry a sponsored plan and has instead proposed its own. now a pause and the fighting can come soon enough for the thousands of children now facing hunger and malnutrition inside of gaza. with the un children's agency unicef issuing a stark new warning about the lack of food, water and health services. pushing the bose and pot, hoping to fill their stomachs and provide for their families. many of these children survive on one meal
