i mean if you've got the head of chechnya putin's man in chechnya coming out and saying he admires one of these guys and this guy was motivated to do it because of the charlie hebdo issue and then you start to think maybe kadyrov was involved and maybe his people were involved because it all fits into a picture of his activities very well and the idea that these guys were the masterminds? no. it's not even clear these guys were the shooters. >> right. bob baer to you. all of these men who police are accusing of this in their 30s and all from chechnya, what do you make of these allegations? >> as we talked about, poppy. it's the usual suspects. >> right. >> if you can assassinate somebody in russia you go to chechnya and it doesn't matter who you are, whether you're islamic fundamentalist, a foreigner or the government and these people will confess to anything and i don't think we're any closer to knowing who killed nemtsov than the day he died. there is no transparency in any of this and frankly, again, i would say i just can't imagine why putin would risk an assassination like this ou

now, what is interesting is that the president of chechnya who is a close ally of the kremlin actually came out in public speaking almost in defense of at least two of these suspects one of them zaur dadayev who was charged in court this weekend, and then he also referred to besland shavanov the man who reportedly killed himself with a hand grenade when authorities were trying to arrest him. now on his instagram page which he often uses to make announcements, basically said that zaur dadayev had been a lieutenant in the police in chechnya. he quotes i knew dadayev as a genuine russian patriot. he served in the very first days in the formation of a regiment that was part of the 46th battalion of the interior ministry of the russian federation. the russian president went on to describe shavanov, who reportedly killed himself as also being a brave warrior. so a lot of questions here why the chechen president is defending these men while also calling for their investigation to be completed into their alleged links to the murder of boris nemtsov on february 27th in moscow. zain? >> this is

. >> reporter: the arrest of five suspects from chechnya has led some to something the killing may have been linked to islamic extremism. his supporters nis dismiss that as nonsense. nemtsov was also working on a report detailing russia's military involvement in eastern ukraine. his daughter says they discussed the report but that she's not been able to access her father's apartment nor the computers on which he kept his files. >> are you afraid to go back? >> i'm not afraid. i will go back on the 15th of march, but i -- they have killed my father. i cannot just keep silent. it's -- it's absolutely impossible. >> zhanna nemtsov in that report from gabriel. >>> time to pick up on the world of business. alex is here. gaming is the name. >> absolutely right. a huge industry here in the uk david, and, of course across much of europe. today, we're talking though about london because it does have the largest games development community specifically in europe with over 250 such studios. over a couple days the creme de la creme of the gaming industry will be meeting in london to discuss the lat

have been detained, and another reportedly blew himself up during a confrontation with police in chechnya. chechen leader ramzan kadyrov said the suspect who confessed had objected to cartoons of the prophet mohammed printed by french magazine charlie hebdo. but nemtsov's allies and relatives expressed can suspicion saying he was killed for criticizing putin. the israeli navy has killed a palestinian fishermen after a evening fire -- after opening fire on boats off the coast of gaza. sayed abu -- saeed abu reyala the brother of the slain fishermen, described what happened. >> what happened is we went like anybody else in the world to work in fishing, and an israeli boat opened fire on us. they shot him, they shot our machinery. amy: the shooting comes amid heightened tensions after palestinian leaders in the west bank about to halt security coordination with israel due to israel's withholding of tax revenue. israel has withheld $127 million in taxes about two thirds of the palestinian budget, in protest of palestinian moves to join the international criminal court. in tel aviv, thousands

or that in chechnya, we have had material attached to mines. so the threat is there. and it will increase. and we need to look at our whole issue of proliferation in light of the increased terrorist threat. we also need to understand some of the other risks that are coming from left field. and one of the ones that i constantly talk about is the risk of competition for commodities. and in particular, water. and people talk about china but they very often miss out on one of the really important parts of the equation, which is that 48% of all the people alive on our planet today get their drinking water from a river that arises on the tibetan plateau. why do you think china is so intent on tibet? is it the dalai lama? or is it the fact that it's the world's greatest resource in terms of fresh water? unless we know the data we will not make sensible interpretations of events and therefore are likely to make policy mistakes. the rise of religious fundamentalism particularly islamic fundamentalism, is there for us all to see. we're facing this crisis now with isis, the late

he also allegedly expressed interest in fighting jihad in chechnya.t like they didn't have a strong enough case for him. then we know that he moved overseas livedover seas for the past year and a half and in january attempted allegedly to fly from turkey to syria. if you're wondering how he made it back to the u.s. what happened is turkish officials stopped and asked if they could look through his electronics. he denied them access. they sent him back to egypt. egypt reported him to the u.s. he's now behind bars and expected to plead not guilty according to his attorney tomorrow. >> dan, to pamela's first point, we have reported on teenagers wanting to get into syria to join isis. we've certainly reported on westerners. this is the first veteran i can recall who has been caught trying to do this. your reaction sir? >> first of all, the most disturbing part of this is his civilian experience on civilian airliners. quite frankly, his military service wouldn't have been much benefit to isis. as an air force avionics mechanic he probably didn't have a lot

he went to school on the russian experience in chechnya.watched very closely the experience in iraq and afghanistan, and look what he's doing, he's taking up guerrilla warfare in ukraine. that's the kind of warfare that wins. that's the kind of warfare that putin's now taking up. we do not need to get into this as a conventional force on the ground in a region where we've already been handed, really handed our rear ends. we don't need anymore. >> colonel lawrence wilkerson, we don't need anymore, a good a summation as anything. thank you very much. i always appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, chris. >>> "the rachel maddow show" starts now. >> chris, you know that's my focus in life is what you're just talking about there. that was a really important segment. >> answering that poll is cheap, right? it's what comes after it that costs. >> just the -- but to see the change over time, and to connect it to what's really going on, it affects the way people think about these things. it is not abstract stuff. it's concrete and really important.

sharp shooters, not necessarily iraqis or syrian, a lot of these we discovered to come as far as chechnya. there have been a lot of boobie traps. every time they felt they were losing ground, they would resort to these tactics. it has become more challenge for take over these areas. but peshmerga are determined to take back these cities and mosul as well. >> that's the big appreciations isn't it. i was going to ask you how confident are the peshmerga and the iraqi government forces that they can retake tikrit, and use that as a springboard to move forward and relaunch themselves to retake mosul. >> absolutely. that will give us better tactics, better leverage, and a lot more area in setting the stage for taking back mosul. it's inevitable. we're going to take back mosul. hopefully with the continued support of the international coalition and international airstrikes. it's inevitable. isil has made mosul it's headquarters. it's the second largest city in iraq, and we're going to take it back one way or another. this will require all hands on deck. iraqi security forces, peshmerga forces in

the top search is chechnya. islam not on the top search.v's computer were not revealed to the jury but defense said they were typical for add boy. >>> let's take a look at what is coming up on "new day." alisyn. >> we are going to get more information on that wall street journal report that israel spied on the iran nuclear talks and gave confidential information to the u.s. lawmakers. what impact does this have? how about relations with the white house and israel? we will talk with the reporter who wrote that article. >>> also we will look at angelina jolie's decision to have her oavaries removed. should women consider this option? dr. sanjay gupta will join us with the answers. >> i cannot wait to hear what he has to say. thank you for that. >>> accused killer robert durst now linked to another crime. details next. ortho bug b gon gives you season-long control of all these types of bugs. spectracide gives you season-long control... of just ants. their label says so. bugged by more than ants? get ortho bug b gon. the label tells the story.

custody for the assassination of boris nemtsov, but he was never known as critic of islam or of chechnyarstand the truth about what happened to him. >> what's your feeling of this much more needs to be investigated. do you think is it possible entirely possible that someone in putin's camp could have orchestrated this? >> you know everything is possible and i really don't want to speculate about such outrageous claims. we do need evidence to see it. but what we can already say is that the context was very dangerous. for two years now the russian media, the kremlin controlled media, has called him a traitor, said he is an enemy of the state, that he is a puppet of the united states. therefore, when this is said young hot heads who think they can take a license and kill people like that i think that needs to be understood to understand the context for how this russian opposition leader could be assassinated, you know, literally minutes away from the kremlin. >> president putin now indicating the planned annexation of crimea weeks before the referendum there, what does that tell you about p

there are a lot of russian nationals that of travel to chechnya and other areas. i think they realize that assad is problematic. none of us want to see the collapse of the government in damascus. what we do want is for there to be a few skirt -- a future in damascus to bring into power eight representative government that will address the grievances, a multi-confessional country that really deserves a government that represents the people are. -- the people there. charlie: do you fear what might replace an assad government? charlie: we don't want certain elements to replace them. director brennan: the last thing we want to do -- it is important to bolster those forces within the syrian opposition that are not extremists. charlie: do you worry about iran and iraq in terms of what happens if iranians would like to have a stronger presence in? iraq director brennan: the iranians have clear interest because i they share a border with iraq, they share a history with it as well. there are coreligionists from iran and iraq. we recognize that iran has legitimate interests

he claimed his school work suffered because he lost relatives in chechnya.republic that is occupied by russian soldiers that falsely accused and abduct innocent men under false pretenses and terrorist accusations. dzhokhar wrote he wamentsed to do well in school so -- wanted to do well in school so he could help those in his country. >> a close friend of tamerlan theaf navy pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of lying to the fin. prosecutors say he deceived investigators about his relationship with the deceased bombing suspect. >>> she'd been on arizona's death row for 22 years. now debra miltey has been exonerated. the. her son, a 4-year-old boy was shot to death. prosecutors failed to disclose the history of misconduct by the dentive. >> she was a victim of a dirty cop. she was a victim of prosecutors sitting on evidence that probably would have saved her. >> she spent two decades on death row. now two men are on death row for killing christopher. both refuse to testify against his mother. >>> the home of sandy hook elementary school shooter has been demoli

that he was sympathizing with osama bin laden, that he also had expressed interest in traveling to chechnya to fight jihad. then after that questioned by the fbi. he was still able to go on and work for private aviation companies as a mechanic in the u.s. and in the middle east where he lived for a year-and-a-half before turkish officials turned him away at the airport as he tried to link up with isis allegedly. >> wait a minute. he'd already been flagged by the fbi and had expressed a number of views against the u.s. yet he was hired as an army contractor in iraq? >> that's right. i've been asking a lot of officials about this today. here's what we're learning. basically if you become a contractor for the army you have to go through a background collection. but the system is not enough to flag cases like this where you don't have ongoing investigations. clearly, the fbi at the time didn't have enough evidence on pew to actually bring charges against him so it wouldn't be surprising in light of that that he would have passed that background check because there wasn't an ongoing investigatio
