is this a similar narrative playing out here with what we are seeing with alexei navalny? l: absolutely, and also there is the belarus opposition leader. that is one reason why navalny came back. he knew the threat he was being faced with, that he was afraid he would end up in the wilderness and perhaps branded as a foreign agent. the sad thing you mentioned, the diplomatic toolbox is very empty right now for the west. beyond sanctions, what else can they do? if i were a western policymaker, i would be confused out the moment on what the next move is. when it comes to navalny or when it comes to the brutal regime in myanmar or other places, i think rhetoric and statements of concern do not work anymore. you have to go through the hard core stuff. what i mean by that in russia's case is removing them from the international financial system. it is the nuclear option, but i think it is the only way -- it is the only option where russia, the kremlin, is terrified of that happening to them. one more thing, if i may, i hate to say it, we are still in early days of the biden regim

so there is some history between alexei navalny and this doctor as well. so a lot of concern over the weekend. this morning he walked into a village about 40 miles from where he disappeared, said he was fine and now claims he's going back to work tomorrow morning, guys. >> still a lot of mysteries here, fred. maybe too many. we know you'll stay on this for us. thank you for your reporting. appreciate it. >>> up next, new developments in the house leadership fight. the top republican publicly paving the way for a shakeup this week. >>> and republicans claim joe biden is sending the economy into a, quote, tailspin. we will fact check. this is "new day." ♪ birds flyin' high, you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ it's a new dawn... ♪ if you've been taking copd sitting down, it's time to make a stand. start a new day with trelegy. no once-daily copd medicine has the power to treat copd in as many ways as trelegy. with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy helps people breathe easier and improves lung function. it also helps p

what more can be done is alexei navalny dies. what should the room u.s. reaction be and anything else he can add to this subject. >> thank you mr. browder and it's good to be with my fellow panelists and i appreciate the mccain's for bringing this together. on the question of russia there was no one who was more direct and forceful about what the u.s. role should be. the ongoing abuse of alexei navalny is appalling and i share your concern and your illusions to parallels of magnitsky. allowing medical treatment and care is the humanitarian -- humanitarian issue not a political one addition to the fact that he shouldn't be in prison at all. i'm glad the biden administration has sent a clear message that will hold russians who abuse their people accountable and in this case joining with the european union to send a clear and power over all message is incredibly important. i think the treasury should be reviewing a list of 35 putin oligarchs that is to navalny and his team has applied to sanction targets but given mr. navalny's current situation the immediat

trying to kill his credit, alexei navalny, half of russians say it is his own fault.on polls and russet state the folks there and see the united states as their number one enemy, so putin stays popular as whether he finds new ways to poke america, whether by hacking or social media campaigns. what incentive does he have to compromise with biden? america will have to figure out away way to live in cold piece -- peace with pressure, not warm and friendly, and that is the bottom line. ♪ ■xtñññvvvvvrrzozozozoñ?ñ - hey, i'm valerie june. ming up on reel south .

>> looking at what happened to alexei navalny recently or to late boris nemtsov, one of the great leaders, who was shot in 2015 in the center of moscow. there's so many of my friends and colleagues who marched with me in our peaceful rallies. almost all of them are either in exile, in jail, or worse. putin's russia -- it's a full-blown dictatorship that doesn't allow any dissent within its borders. and i believe that staying alive, staying free abroad, i could do much more by revealing the truth about putin's regime and also helping to unify the russian opposition. >> russian dissident alexei navalny did return, as you mentioned. >> it was a heroic move. he was poisoned. they tried to kill him. he survived after several weeks in a coma. and then he decided to come back, and now he's in jail. and i have bad news. i don't believe that he will see daylight outside a prison cell as long as putin stays in power. >> his treatment by putin and the ssian government has triggered massive protests across the country, bualso, on the other side, has inspired a brutal crackdown from russian authoritie

real opponents, for example, alexei navalny are not allowed near the ballot. problem is even in these circumstances when they have full control of the national media, full control of the political process, full control of ballot access and when they are able to disqualify real opponents from the ballot even in these conditions they're beginning to lose because such are the growing protest sentiments in russian society. greater and greater numbers of people across russia, especially the young generation, are saying enough is enough. it's not okay for one man to stay in power into his third decade. so as we saw spectacularly two years ago in the moscow city council election even after disqualifying all the real opposition candidates the pro regime candidates lost nearly half of the districts across moscow and they are terrified of this humiliation being repeated. it's very important to emphasize that everything the putin regime is doing, the growing repegs, it's not a sign of strength but weakness because they know they're increasingly losing their grip on russi
