translation: three days ago, vladimir putin killed my - husband, alexei navalny. ed the father of my children. putin took away the dearest thing i had, the closest and most beloved person. but putin also took navalny from you. somewhere in a colony in the far north, above the arctic circle in the eternal winter, putin killed notjust a man, alexei navalny — together with him, he wanted to kill our hopes, ourfreedom, our future, to destroy and nullified the best proof that russia can be different, that we are strong, that we are brave, that we believe and desperately fight and want to live differently. there are few details about the circumstances around the death of alexei navalny. our reporter olga robinson from bbc verify has more on what we do know. it's been four days since russian opposition leader alexei navalny died in prison, and there's still very little that we know about the circumstances of his death. so let's take a look at what we can say so far. just to remind you, alexei navalny died here, in a remote prison in the arctic circle on the 16th of februa

the lawyers for alexei navalny? they need to be the lawyers for alexei navalny?ers for alexei navalny? tte: need to be released immediately. three of them in october were detained and they are in prison now awaiting trial on charges of extremism and under international law this is a nonsense. two of his additional lawyers, who are at the moment in exile, three days ago were sentenced to detention and imprisonment, awaiting trial by a russian court. so i think was very worrying, it is navalny �*s lawyers but it is also a number of russian human rights lawyers that are on target by the authorities because how do you dismantle the rule of law question what you silent civil society, you dismantle the independent media, which has been donein independent media, which has been done in russia by the authorities. particularly over the past two years. and the last thing is people could not have a proper defence when they are victims of human rights violations. that's a calculated machine of regression. i am extremely worried. in behalf of navalny, we need to continue. than

and then putin killed my husband, alexei navalny, on his orders alexei was tortured for three years. then they killed him. even after that, they abused his body and abused his mother. 0n the one hand the public has once again shown everyone that putin is capable of anything and that you cannot cannot negotiate with him. applause. but on the other side i can also see how shocked everyone is. many people have the feeling that putin cannot be defeated at all. in this desperation they are now asking me, how can i help you? and i am thinking about how alexei would answer this question. i will try answering. but to do so i have to tell you a little about what he was like. alexei was an inventor. he always had a new idea for everything, but especially in politics. you have elections at the beginning ofjune. many of you will beginning ofjune. many of you will be campaigning. meeting voters, giving interviews, shooting commercials. now imagine that all of this is impossible. no tv station will do an interview with you. no money in the world can help you with the commercial. and the voters who

he spoke to our security correspondent frank gardner and shared his reaction to the news of alexei navalnymstances. i was very moved by the words from his wife so soon after his death, and she was right to say that russia has to be held to account and the international community has to be clear about that. it is a reminder that russia is an ever—present threat. it's one of the reasons i'm here at the munich security conference to talk about an incoming labour government, if we are privileged enough to get that far, and how wejoin with our international partners in meeting that ever—present threat from russia, but it has to be held to account. we've heard a very impassioned plea here from president zelensky of ukraine for more help from europe. basically, he's trying to give a wake—up call to europe. if you become prime minister, what more can ukraine expect from the uk? i thought they were very powerful words from president zelensky as they always are. i had the opportunity and privilege to go to kyiv last year and meet president zelensky myself, one—to—one. the purpose of that was to assu

before we go, let's recap what we know about the reported death of alexei navalny. rnational leaders have condmened the death, which was first reported by russian prison officials. navalny had been in russian jail since 2021 on charges widely viewed as politically motivated. putin's spokesman said russia's penitentiary service is looking into what happened, but provided no further information. and remember, our coverage continues online. you can find a live page on our website with the latest news and analysis from our correspondents in the region and around the globe. that's at bbc.com/news that's all from the team here in washington. i'm caitriona perry. hello there. once again, it's been another week that's been dominated by some wet weather at times. but when we have had the sunshine, it's felt pleasant enough. and some of us on friday had a beautiful scene, just like carmarthenshire. hope you made the most of it, though, because particularly out to the west, the start of the weekend looks decidedly unsettled, with more wet and windy weather arriving. ahead of it

russian authorities have issued an ultimatum to the mother of alexei navalny, the opposition figure whod in prison last week. a spokesperson for the navalny team says his mother has been given three hours to agree to a "secret funeral" without members of the public in attendance. otherwise he will be buried inside the prison compound. the death in custody of mr navalny coupled with saturday's second anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine has led to the biden administration announcing more than 500 new sanctions against russia. it comes from the spokeswoman for his family who said that an investigator had been in touch with alexei navalny and his mother to say that within three hours, she had to agreed to her son being buried in secret, that is the wording that was used or alternatively, her son would be buried somewhere in the prison compound, presumably in the arctic prison where he was held and according to the spokesperson for the alexei navalny family, alexei navalny�*s mother is refusing to accept this it is insisting on a proper burialfor her son accept this it is insisting o

and then, putin killed my husband, alexei navalny. nied visits, phone calls, and then either letters. and then they killed him. even after that, they abused his body and abused his mother. on the one hand, it has been shown once again that putin is capable of anything and that you cannot negotiate with him. we go back to our breaking news. we have learned that prince harry has lost his high court challenge against the decision by the uk government to withdraw routine armed police protection when he is in the uk. the duke of sussex stepped back from royal duties and left the uk in 2020, but he argued unsuccessfully that the removal of royal protection was unlawful when he was a working royal, hero was entitled to armed police protection but that entitlement ended in 2020 when the duke and duchess of sussex left the uk and moved to the united states. prince harry argued the home office has acted unlawfully after the executive committee for the protection of royalty and public figures decided that they would provide security only when ass

these are the last known images of alexei navalny, from two days ago. he died the next day after falling unconscious. today, mr navalny�*s mother arrived at the remote penal colony where he died, beyond the arctic circle. she was told her son's body had been taken to a local morgue, but... the body of alexei isn't there. so alexei's prison just lied to his lawyer and his mother that the body is there. so we don't have any clue where he is now and what is happening to him, and when it will be given to the family. we do know one thing — the russian authorities are saying very little about what happened. the death of alexei navalny is a huge story outside russia, but here, it is being kept out of the headlines. it is barely mentioned by the state media, as if the kremlin is hoping out of sight, out of mind. not everyone is out laying flowers, but everyone we spoke to had heard about mr navalny�*s death, though there was a mixed reaction. "it's very sad," anton says. "and it's bad that there are political prisoners." but this lady tells me she is not interes

putin killed notjust a man, alexei navalny.ogether with him he wanted to kill our hopes, ourfreedom, our future, to destroy and nullify the best proof that russia can be different, that we are strong, that we are brave, that we believe and will desperately fight to live differently. that statement just released differently. that statementjust released in the last couple of hours. you will get plenty more reaction and details about the activities and meeting she has been happening in brussels. a bbc panorama investigation has discovered that uk special forces blocked troops from the afghan units they fought alongside from relocating to the uk after the taliban came into power. leaked documents show that uk special forces rejected applications, despite some containing compelling evidence of service alongside the british military. the uk ministry of defence says it is conducting an independent review. with me is bbc panorama'sjoe gunter. thank you for being here. what exactly have — thank you for being here. what exactly have you
