it's been 90 days now since alexei navalny — been 90 days now since alexei navalny has been refusingmily of an elderly woman from south wales who was taken home from hospital by ambulance staff to the wrong address say she was "frightened" by what happened. elizabeth mahoney�*s son has been told she was also put to bed in the stranger's home, before anyone realised what had happened. the welsh ambulance service has apologised. nicola smith reports. treasured photos of elizabeth mahoney in healthier times. two years on after treatment for covid in hospital, she was ready to be discharged. but instead of taking her home, the nonemergency patient transport service took her to a house in newport several miles away. it's not clear how it happened, but her family believe she may have been mistaken for another patient with dementia. she was telling them apparently that her name wasn't — i won't say the lady's name — but she said, "that isn't my name, my name is betty," she's known as. she said, "this isn't my house." mum was frightened, i think, then. officially, we heard from the ambulance

alexei navalny's supporters say they will carry on with their anti-kremlin activities. volney's charismatic personality, they might have it much harder to have an impact. from al jazeera, moscow. barbara: airstrikes against ethnic armed groups have continued in myanmar two days after a military outpost was captured near the border with thailand. monitoring groups say that the junta has launched six air attacks since tuesday. scott heisler is monitoring the allotments from bangkok. scott: subgroups inside that korean-held territory in myanmar have been reporting at least six, as possible as nine airstrikes carried out the attack on the outpost. once they overran that territory around the outpost pushing the myanmar army out, the knu soldiers occupd the area. today there was footage of them patrolling along the banks there . what this means is that this is kind of a continuation of what we have seen in the last month. march 27, there were some air strikes and people in the korean held territory who can across the river here into thailand because they are worried about mor

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 be

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

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

relationship with russia and how alexei navalny symbolically plays a huge role in this. >> yeah, both are correct, mika. let's start with mr. navalny, who's really become a global figure at this point. and deservedly, so. he has managed an extraordinary level of activity in an utterly oppressive authoritarian state. i give him his enormous credit for his strength of character and his ability to move a message. it's really quite remarkable. i think it's having a real impact into foreign affairs broadly. putin is feeling the heat on the international scene. and that brings us to ukraine. here you see 100,000 russian troops on the border. that's a massive movement of troops. think about the u.s. moving 100,000 troops to the border of mexico, for example. it's an absurd thought. but they've done so. now they've kind of blinked and are stepping back a bit. did navalny have something to do with that? perhaps. as well as the sense i think that vladimir putin isoverexten ukraine, on navalny. and i think he's waking up to that fact. >> elise jordan has the next question. elise? >> admiral, ale
