navalny has accused russian president vladimir putin of being responsible for navalny's death, but theis. our 20 countries issued a joint statement marking the first anniversary of navalny's death on sunday. it said we reiterate that the ultimate responsibility for his death lies with the russian authorities. one year on russia's dire human rights record continues to deteriorate. the kremlin crushes peaceful dissent, maintains a climate of fear and undermines the rule of law. the united kingdom, australia, canada and several european countries are among the signatories on the statement. the u.s. was not among them. up next, an update on the health of pope francis as he recovers from bronchitis in the hospital. >> our thoughts and prayers. >> are with those. >> whose lives were tragically taken. >> the dots all start to connect. >> together. >> somebody did this purposely to these people. >> lockerbie. >> the bombing of pan am flight 103 sunday at nine on cnn. >> i want. i want, i want, i want. >> i. >> want all. i. >> ocd is more than what you see on tv and in the movies. it comes with

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 must never be a nuclear iran. cnn's nic robertson has more from jerusalem. >> pull of that joint press conference with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and secretary of state marco rubio. very clear the two countries in lockstep. and on iran absol

navalny just came after his suit in germany. the most expectation, there was a massive wave of protests. embassy was not far from pushkin square. i know the f.s.d. was following me. 200 people. ok. eventually thousand. thousand plus. they were standing for two hours and all of them were arrested. that's it. same happens. so i mean, this size matters. this is what, ok, i'm an ambassador, i can't teach what you should do. >> i just think as ambassador, a protest is a tool to demonstrate power. it's not an end in itself. too often, at times, having a protest is seen as an end in itself. if you show up with 100 people, that's a to demonstration of weakness. i think that's the key core challenge of successful protests are demonstrations of power with lots of people. >> thank you. go ahead, ask your question and then go ahead and get that one. >> hello. i would like to ask your opinion on -- with regards to political situation in france. there we have also more autocratic kind of development, maybe out of constitutional crisis that re

navalny's mother was among the mourners.n 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 derail an already shaky ceasefire deal, just

. >> 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

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

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

today we're seeing the exact opposite, and the example that julia navalny, ilya yashin and i give inshington post opinion piece is that if we look at apple, an american company headquartered in california, we're seeing that not only has it not been trying to overcome this system of total censorship and propaganda imposed by vladimir putin's regime on millions and millions of people in russia, which, of course, the main goal of which is to suppress and distort information about putin's bloody and murderous war in ukraine instead of helping the people of russia access objective information, we see apple actively aiding and abetting putin's authoritarian regime in suppressing that information and in strengthening its censorship tools. in the past several months alone, apple, at the request of putin's regime, has voluntarily removed several apps belonging to independent media outlets such as echo, the insider or the bbc, or actually us funded media outlets such as radio liberty, radio free europe and current time from its app store, and they also removed more than 50 vpn services, which

navalny. let's bring in senior political columnist for politico. york times. elisabeth bumiller, chief white house correspondent for the new york times peter baker, staff writer for the atlantic anne applebaum and nbc news national security analyst clint watts. and this is one of those situations. shocking. but given everything that donald trump has said since 2015 about vladimir putin, unfortunately not surprising, right? >> i think it's really important. >> to begin. with putin's goals in this war, that he. >> has stated repeatedly that. >> others around him have also repeated, that have been repeated on russian television in the last few days. putin's goal is the destruction of ukraine as a nation. he wants to replace the leader of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, the elected democratic leader. >> with. >> the pro-russian puppet. he does not want to see ukrainian democracy survive. he wants ukraine to be folded into the russian empire. as of today, he has not given up any of those goals that he now hopes to pursue them through negotiation, through c

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

thousands risked being arrested last year to attend navalny's funeral. >> our time now. 705. jonathan martin, a former stanford university and 49ers offensive lineman, is clearing up allegations that of being bullied by a former teammate when they played for the miami dolphins. the 2013 bullying scandal led to fellow offensive lineman richie incognito being suspended, but martin now tells espn he was never bullied, and it's a story he's been trying to fix for a decade now. martin says he told his parents he didn't like what happened with some of his teammates, and martin claims his parents allegedly escalated the situation. martin was later traded to the 49ers after the bullying allegations went public. incognito went on to play with the buffalo bills for three seasons, and then for the raiders for two years. well, the nba all-star weekend is over. now the bay area looks ahead to hosting its next major global events. ktvu james torres is at thrive city in san francisco now, where the city is trying to. well, trying to enjoy and look back on a busy few days. good morning james

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

raise navalny's from the dead and installed a democratic and free leader of russia. of these are false arguments. the vice president then addressed rug information being pumped up into the public. he wrote, on the specifics of the negotiation i'm not confirming details publicly for obvious reasons but much of what i have seen leaked out ranges from entirely bogus to missing critical information. goals for negotiation it. we will telegraph our posture to make people feel better. many of the subjective criticisms and out to pearl clutching a don't ultimately matter. criticisms of ukrainian leadership you are welcome to disagree with these critiques of trump do not bear on the war or his negotiation in the war. there is a lot to digest. let's do so with the author of seven things you can't say about china it is senator tom cotton. good to see you here today. >> hello. >> will: you heard me lay out and i'm sure you saw some of the arguments the vice president made on exit defending the trump administration. i'm curious what you think it is remarkable for us to all see th

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

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

have committed crimes, why doesn't putin set a similar one up for his dissidents, like the latest navalnyffshore in beijing for the uyghurs or anybody else who is an enemy of the state. >> so, and i might have to interrupt you because we're waiting. professor, i'm going to say thank you. we're going to go to the east room of the white house, where president trump and the japanese prime minister are about to hold a press conference. he is the second foreign guest of the president. let's listen in. >> thank you very much. it's a great honor to be with the prime minister. we had a picture taken a little while ago, and it was so nice. i thought i'd present it to you on stage. and here's the. >> picture. >> i wish i was as handsome as him, but i'm not. >> thank you. >> okay. thank you. >> oh. >> i remember that day. thank you very much, everybody. >> appreciate it. >> i'm delighted to welcome japanese prime minister ishiba shigeru to the white house for the first time. and, prime minister, it's an honor to have you with us, a great honor. japan is a great country. thank you very much. japan is

when you think of what happened in russia to navalny, charged with certain minor crimes, but basically put away forever, right, in a high security prison where he ultimately died. so these are different sources of arbitrariness. different institutional checks and whether our institutions can stand up. one of the main concerns here, you have a civil service that's no longer a civil service there to follow the law, but rather, a civil service which is -- only has partisan who will purse the policies of the leader regardless of whether they're legal or not. another is if you suddenly appoint people to lead different agencies whose priorities are to make life difficult and keep the opposition at bay sbe there in the fbi, be they in the department of justice and so forth. so they're a fact that you can fire anyone who was engaged in investigations with respect to violent defenders impacting the capitol. it's meant to send a signal of fear to anyone who tries to oppose the law. one thing that you can see is that these play books are transnational. one thing you can see is that the use of law

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 --

watch what putin did to navalny, his political opponent. he poisoned him.ost: we will leave it there, steve. a couple of callers have talked about the -- president trump's cuts to the federal workforce, including usaid. this headline from this morning's new york times, judge let's white house call staff at the chief u.s. agency for foreign aid. judge carl nichols of the u.s. district court for the district of columbia wrote that it was no longer justified to stall the agency from enacting the plans which include placing more than 2000 additional employees on administrative leave, enforcing -- and forcing some workers posted overseas to return home. the judge found the group that brought the lawsuit, an association of foreign service workers, have not demonstrated that they faced irreparable injury so far and that it was unlikely to win its case. the trump administration has proposed placing nearly the entire global workforce of the agency on administrative leave, while simultaneously canceling a raft of its contracts and proposing a freeze of nearly all for
