although there were lines, uh, for the grave of alexei navalny in moscow today, and that, i think, is significant. but the problem with the opposition right now is they don't really have a leader who is as strong and charismatic as navalny was. and, you know, he is gone. his wife, valiantly, you know, speaks around the world. but she's not navalny. and so i think at this point, the, you know, the opposition would would really like to have somebody with that, um, you know, the, uh, sheer political force and, um, uh, public, uh, influence that he had. but there really is no one at this point. so it's it's a, i would say a sad day on many levels for the opposition. >> jill, thank you so much for joining us. and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is vowing to, quote, finish the job against iran with the support of president trump. his comments came during a news conference with secretary of state marco rubio in jerusalem. rubio linking iran to the major threats in the middle east, blaming tehran for troubles with hamas, hezbollah, syria and iraq. the secretary of state warned there

understand how throughout the years, the coverage by independent media changed or the message of alexei navalny and how he was part of the bigger agenda and how it changed from different media. everything you can get, all the different information from analyzing the bigger data sets of words, it is up to the creativity of the researchers to use the data centers we provide. masha: i will try to answer the last question. you talked about censorship of lgbtq related content. we have learned obviously over the years that there are many different types of censorship. but it is useful to use the word censorship identically, -- pedantically. we are seeing that. like the cdc retractions are a good example of that, with a number of words, articles being retracted that contained one of a number of words that this administration has expressly declared to be no longer allowed. but there are -- there is also the vaguer category that we often refer to as self-censorship. i think that is very useful to think of it in the terms that timothy snyder proposed, -- obedience, and we are seeing a lot of that. where

no one should forget the death of alexei navalny, the brave opposition leader who was poisoned abroadurnal editorial page, mika. rupert murdoch, of course, owns the wall street journal. the new york post also also condemning what donald trump said yesterday, trying to blame vladimir putin's ruthless invasion, the largest land invasion in europe since adolf hitler. trying to blame that on actually the victims of that invasion. >> we'll get to the new york post in just a moment. we want to get to. richard engel. >> who has. >> a tight window. >> but here's what the wall. >> street journal. >> editorial board was reacting to. president trump blaming ukraine for russia's invasion nearly three years ago. >> he made the comments yesterday. >> after reporters pressed. >> him on ukrainian. >> officials not being. >> involved in the. >> diplomatic talks. >> between the. u.s. and russia in saudi arabia. >> i hear that, you know, they're upset about not having a seat. well, they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that. this could have been settled very easily, just a half a hal

but you've seen a lot of headway made by people like alexei navalny or the current protests in serbia where there was a tragedy at a train station, in some way that was endemocrat athletic corruption of the system, that needs the public to be like, enough. and i think the anti-corruption is a very good message when leaders are going in the direction that andrea mentioned. where they're corrupt and enriching themselves. so firing inspector generals, so that to me, i think, is an angle that is -- has shown success, i think, in other countries. >> thanks very much, max. melissa, did you want to add something here? >> i would just foot stomp the anti-corruption piece. we've seen recently in europe there have been a lot of transitions that have focused on corruption and anti-corruption champions have won. it's been a struggle but she's been able to hold on to power and she's, you know, very much trying to rid her country of russian influence and money and that's been her focus. we've seen this in bulgaria, although it's been complicated. but there has been no recent -- there has been recen

moscow, hundreds of people gathered to mark one year since the death of russian opposition leader alexei navalnywhile serving a prison sentence in an arctic penal colony. officials say he died from natural causes, but his family and supporters believe he was killed on orders from the kremlin. thousands of people risked being arrested last year to attend the funeral of navalny. >> all right. there was snow and some wet weather over the weekend in the sierra. this is a look at the conditions in soda springs along interstate 80. chain controls were in place between truckee and nyack, but those have been lifted. so it seems like steve, for those people who are on ski week, school's out. seems like they got some nice new snow and maybe some clear conditions. >> it was the best system of the season for them. no doubt about it here. yes. looks much quieter now, so if you're up there, it'll be great. rainfall. if you're north, it's good. if you're south and east, it's not so good here. santa rosa is over 37. i use the rain year, by the way, which is july 1st and not the water year, which is october 1st.

years, the coverage of this topic by independent media or we can just with the mentioning of alexey navalny and just to see how he was part of the bigger news agenda and how it changed from different media. so just everything that you can just get all the new information that you can get from just analyzing the big datasets of words just you can use, and that's up to you the creativity of the researchers to use the data so that we can provide provide. can. i'll try to answer last question, which so you, you talked about censorship of lgbt. q related content and. i think this is where i mean, we've learned obviously we've over the years that there are many different kinds of censorship, but it is to use the word censorship, sort of pedantic, early and say that censorship is what the state does and we are seeing that we're that so like the cdc retractions are really good example of that with a number of words that articles being retracted that contained any one of a number of words that this administration has actually declared to be no longer allowed read. but there are also so there's also

mourners laid flowers in moscow on sunday, one year after the death of russian opposition leader alexei navalnyorters filed by his gravesite expressing their sadness not only for themselves but for the country. navalny died last february after collapsing and losing consciousness in a russian penal colony. his mother also visited the grave and praised the bravery of his followers, who could risk possible reprisals by honoring her son. >> i know how hard it is. i understand the fears of those who come here no matter what. i sincerely believe that those who come here are for me the best people in russia, because that's patriotism. when you love your country and want to make it a little better, russia should be happy. >> navalny's widow, yulia navalnaya, encouraged people to continue fighting for a free and peaceful russia to make her husband's dream come true. she said she spent the past year trying to continue his work, and says he's still an inspiration to russians. navalny has accused russian president vladimir putin of being responsible for navalny's death, but the kremlin has denied this. i w

hundreds of people gathered in moscow to mark one year since the death of russian opposition leader alexei navalnys mother was among the mourners. he died in an arctic penal colony while serving a prison sentence. officials say he died from natural causes, but his allies and family say they believe he was killed on orders from the kremlin. thousands risked being arrested last year to attend navalny's funeral. >> in the middle east. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu appears to be moving forward with president trump's plan to order the palestinian population out of gaza. netanyahu met with u.s. secretary of state marco rubio in jerusalem. he called the removal of palestinians from gaza, quote, the only viable plan to enable a different future for the region. the plan also calls for the u.s. to take control of gaza. >> we have a common strategy, and we can't always share the details of this strategy with the public, including when the gates of #### will be opened, as they surely will if all our hostages are not released until the last one of them. >> the controversial proposal threatens to de

russia, a country where alexei navalny died in prison with us now, cnn chief international security correspondentick paton walsh and kimberly dozier as well. nick, first to you here. what do you hear in this speech? and his choice to deliver this speech at the munich security conference? >> yeah, i mean, clearly he's not going to have the message he wanted to deliver one of culture wars, one of trying to suggest that what the u.s. would consider to be the liberal governments of europe have lost touch with core values of free speech. but to many european audience here, he's mistaking misinformation with free speech. he's talking about hate speech, which many here will consider to be anti extremist legislation. and this is a quite a conflated series of values he's putting forward here, criticizing the fact that romania's election is being rerun. well, that was riddled with irregularities. and some say potentially a pro russian slant in some of that. talking about essentially abortion legislation in the united kingdom, criticizing some of the rights put in to make sure women's freedom of choice is r

. >> it has been exactly one year since the news of kremlin critic alexei navalny's death was reportedure died suddenly at a remote russian penal colony while serving a 19 year sentence on extremism charges. he denied the allegations. russian authorities say he felt unwell after a walk. the kremlin denies involvement in his death, but many western countries and navalny's allies said russian president vladimir putin was to blame. we're going to a very short break. we'll be back after this. stick with cnn. more news to come. >> cooked books. >> corporate fat cats, swindling socialites, doped up cyclists, then, yes, more crooked politicians. i have a feeling we won't be running out of those anytime soon. >> a new season of united states of scandal with jake tapper. march 9th on cnn. >> ken, support your. >> brain health. >> mary. janet. hey. >> eddie. no! >> fraser. frank. frank. >> fred. how are you? >> fred. >> support up to. >> seven brain health indicators, including memory. when you need to remember. remember. nariva. >> our heart. >> attack was scary. >> never want to go through tha

i mean, he goes so far as to kill his opponent, poisoning alexei navalny, having his spy services do that. so we now have the u.s. president endorsing kremlin positions on this war. and listen, republicans in congress that i speak to, and i'm sure you do as well know that's false, as do at least two of his senior advisers, because they've said so publicly. mike waltz and marco rubio, at least previously. do they go along with this? we'll see. >> i think one of the most concerning things is, and it's kind of an abstraction for so many americans, the post world war ii world order that we've enjoyed. people don't think about it because they've enjoyed it. right. it's sort of something they take for granted. are we seeing perhaps a realignment? >> 100%. this is not just trump apparently abandoning ukraine because he's been quite public, as have his senior advisers at the munich security conference, for instance, that the u.s. no longer will ensure europe security, saying, in effect, it's your job, regardless of nato. that is quite a move. and then more broadly, to your point here, what h

and one wonders, you know, we're alexei navalny still alive. we're boris nemtsov still alive. any number of the people who fell mysteriously out of windows in moscow, or officials who were killed around the world, what they would think of labeling zelenskyy, but not putin, a dictator. >> indeed. and by the way, just in terms of disclosures, we should point out i am personally sanctioned by the kremlin, and i'm very proud of that. john. i have 50 medals. 28 of them are from foreign nations, stemming from my time as nato commander, commander of southern command. i could not be prouder to be sanctioned by the kremlin for all the reasons we're discussing. >> have you ever been sanctioned? sanctioned by ukraine? >> no. i think i'm, uh. i'm safe on that one. uh, i will say back to zelenskyy. i think he is a heroic figure, not a dictator. and, john, i just go back to three years ago, almost to the day, as russian tanks were rolling into his country. ah, cia director bill burns went to zelenskyy and said, you can't hold out. your country is going to fall. the whole country. let us giv

alexei navalny. uh, i had the opportunity to meet with navalny's widow the day he died. and i'll never forget the pain and the. and the sorrow all of us felt with her and the death of her husband. this is a guy, vladimir putin, who, you know, essentially puts his, uh, his opponents outside hotel windows. uh, if you want to find a dictator, it's not zelenskyy, it's vladimir putin. and trump knows that. so it's really troubling that he's going to make his bed with vladimir putin. uh, and all of the trouble that's going to flow from that. >> when you speak of the trouble, are we seeing a real shift in u.s. policy now where trump is signaling that he wants to be friends with russia and not with traditional allies in europe, for example? is that how you're reading this? >> yes. i was at the munich security conference last week. we met with president zelenskyy and a number of other nato european allies. i think there's deep consternation and anger among our european allies at this abrupt discontinuity in american foreign policy. suddenly embracing putin and questioning the val

coauthored with fellow dissident yulia navalnaya, the widow of russian activist and opposition leader alexei navalnya yashin, who was also imprisoned in russia, kara-murza focuses on big tech's moral failure, calling out the industry's complicity in enabling autocrats worldwide. quote, every concession to dictators hides a tragedy in iran. administrators of opposition media platforms whose data was handed over to the government have been executed under the country's laws. in russia, tens of millions lost access to uncensored information about vladimir putin's bloody war against ukraine, leaving them vulnerable to relentless state propaganda. but do we really have a choice? corporate western lawyers from western tech companies argue to operate in a country, we must follow its laws. they see no room for debate. the principle of following local laws, no matter what they are, provides a convenient excuse. but it's just that an excuse and a moral dodge. we believe technology can stop being an unwitting accomplice to dictators and an easy tool for oppression. end quote. joining me now is the intrepid vlad

he can run against alexei navalny. oh wait, navalny was murdered, i forgot. kaitlan collins, thanks so much. and if you want more, kaitlan collins, more of her reporting on the source. that's tonight at 9:00 eastern here on cnn. only on cnn. i should note. while american policymakers digest trump's blatant disinformation, russia loves it. they're relishing it. today's state run media network rt praised trump for bashing zelenskyy. they reposted trump's truth social tirade, adding, quote, how long can zelenskyy now last? unquote. let's go to cnn's nick paton walsh, who is in ukraine's capital of kyiv, and nick. trump also told reporters yesterday at his florida resort that zelenskyy's approval rating was at 4%. a poll conducted by kyiv international institute of sociology shows that it's at 57%. for whatever that's worth, how are ukrainians that you talk to feeling about zelenskyy, about trump, about all of it? >> look, i mean, ultimately, i think it's fair to say that over the three years of the war, zelenskyy's popularity has slid a little, but it's not slid

most recently he refused to condemn putin for the death of alexey navalny, who had been such a brave fighter, standing up against the corrupt putin regime and died in a penal colony at the age of 47. for a long time, i have described the united states as being in a clash of civili civilizations, with rule-of-law countries like ours on the one side and kleptocrats, autocrats, and governments run by criminal organizations, like the narco traffickers on the other side. fairly simple clash, rule of law v. rule of thuggery. there ought to be bipartisan support for making sure that the united states does not become a safe haven for kleptocrats and criminals. we should not be giving aid and comfort to our enemies, by allowing them to park their funds here in our country. we've made progress to combat the kleptocrats and the international criminals who are on the other side of this clash of civil zicivilizations. ms. gabbard is not on the right side of that clash. not when she's so chummy with putin. not when she's so chummy with the murderer bashar al-assad. not when she is our tulsi to --
