and he leaves this episode communicating if i want to kill alexei navalny, i can.he united states it should be, look, if alexei navalny, if you try to silence this man there are not only people going to rise up in russia but around the world to ecpose vladimir putin's corruption, to spotlight the corruption of vladimir putin and the oligarch network that supports him. to make putin again think twice about is this the time i might push too far and invite a backlash that fundamentally threatens this country? that's the only thing going to get putin's attention. it's not a coincidence he was arrested the samedy he put out a video and exposed the fact putin owns the most luxurious possible residence in the world. that corruption is dangerous for putin. it's what exposes russia for the kind of ponzi scheme putin has constructed as you yourself have written about it at length. >> it's true. it's dangerous for him. it's an achilles' heel for him both in terms of the way the exposure of that undercuts him with the russian people. it's also an achilles heel he doesn't want

tell us what happened. >> alexei navalny appeared by a video link.ce he survived that hunger strike. he did look extremely thin. he also had his head shaved. he was in a black prison uniform. one thing he did do is have a private emotional moment with his wife where he asked her to get up. she was sitting in the courtroom. he wanted her to take off her mask so he could see her. he was very happy about that. one thing he did do. he did seem fairly weak and thin. when thid he did do is rip into vladimir putin in his final speech and the judge as well. he called putin the naked emperor. there are now new charges against alexei navalny and some of his associates as well. so you can really feel the russian state coming down almost like lead on alexei navalny, on his organization as well, guys. >> fred, thank you so much for that report from moscow. >>> president biden pushing to transform the government. will it work? >>> plus, new details on what the fbi found during their raid at rudy giuliani's apartment. expense report! if you're using multiple system

russia's ambassador in london has insisted alexei navalny will not be allowed to die in prison. andrei kelin told the bbc the opposition leader's medical treatment would be taken care of. supporters of mr navalny claim he could die within days. and the united states�* national security advisor, jake sullivan, has said there will be consequences if navalny dies behind bars. russia's ambassador to the uk was talking to the bbc�*s andrew marr. of course he will not be allowed to die in prison, but i can say that mr navalny behaves like a hooligan, absolutely, in trying to violate every rule that has been established. his purpose of doing that is to attract attention for him, also by saying that today his left hand is sick, tomorrow his leg is sick and all of that stuff... the european court of human rights has ruled that the charges against him for money laundering are, they say, "arbitrary and unfair. " isn't the truth that he is in prison because he is a threat to president putin, for democratic reasons? no, not at all. he has violated his terms of parole and that is why he has b

we know that alexei navalny has been on an extended hunger strike in captivity.ys his health is very frail and he needs to be able to see doctors that he trusts and so far that simply isn't the case. there were some pretty ugly scenes that happened in russia in st. peterburg. we saw reports of police beating some of the protesters there. if you look at the picture, i just got some updated numbers, it's now almost 1,500 protesters that were arrested just today and the bulk of them also happened in st. petersburg. so really a very different picture happening there. but once again the protesters calling for alexei navalny's release and calling for him to be able to see his doctors. you can clearly see the security forces here remaining very defiant. vladimir putin remaining very defiant. the protesters also saying they're not going away any time soon, wolf. >> the u.s. is warning russia both publicly and privately that russia will be held accountable if navalny dies. how is putin responding to that? >> yeah, he's obviously saying that no one is going to tell him wha

what is alexei navalny the symbol of right now in russia, for russians?rred to the hospital of a nearby penal colony, which is even worse and more notorious than the one he was in before. former inmates have spoken about being tortured in this hospital. an orderly in this hospital was investigated for torturing a prisoner to death. so it's not much of an improvement, but he's apparently getting some sort of a vitamin drip and a glucose iv, so hopefully getting pulled back from the jaws of death a little bit. i think the reason you saw so many people come out to protest in moscow and st. petersburg, including in fairly provincial towns and cities, despite all the threats coming from the kremlin, despite all of the promises of punishment for protesting, navalny remains the only voice, credible voice and organized voice of opposition to vladimir putin and the regime he created. and you saw this crazy russian troop buildup on the border of ukraine. at the same time, the russian government had to stop exporting grain because they're trying to control prices in
