just the other day we heard from navalny, that exclusive interview with matthew chance, navalny essentially saying that he knows the risks, that he will not be silenced, and now there is almost predictably it seems the news of this raid. >> yeah the news of this raid. you're right, that is something that many people were thinking, was going to happen. and it happened around i would say 9:30, maybe 9:00 a.m. earlier this morning that we got the word that the offices had been raided that police officers went in to those offices, apparently saying that there might have been a bomb threat coming from those offices. some navalny staff were detained in those raids that took place. and only a couple of minutes ago, george, alexei navalny was interviewed by his staff on his youtube channel. one of the thing navalny supporters are trying to do is stream a lot of the protests taking place here around the country because a lot of russian state media simply isn't mentioning it or even covering it and there alexei navalny said the police he's in is surrounded by police and that he can't get out which wo

so today, mr navalny called his supporters onto the streets. called his supporters onto alexei navalnyinent opposition figure, and president putin's most vocal critic. he has been barred from running in the presidential election. he's now being arrested by police. in the presidential election. this was no softly, softly. in the presidential election. we saw mr navalny surrounded by police. seconds later, he was thrown onto the ground. then, the politician vladimir putin cannot bring himself to mention by name, was dragged into the police bus. his supporters called on voters to boycott the election. all the candidates, they believe, are hand—picked by the kremlin. they believe, are they are candidates that putin approved. and we do not have candidates that we want to have. there is little doubt that vladimir putin will walk this election, with the help of russian tv, which maintains his macho image, portraying him as a cross between action man and father of the nation. portraying him as a cross between and mr putin enjoys far more airtime than any of the other candidates. but the kremli

he spoke exclusively with alexei navalny before these latest protests.tthew, alexei navalny doesn't have much support from voters, does he? so why does president putin feel so threatened by him? >> well, i think that as these protests across the weekend on sunday demonstrated, alexei navalny is one of the few, if not the only opposition figure in russia that can call these kinds of numbers out. now whether those numbers are sufficient to topple president putin i think is unlikely. navalny polls somewhere in the region of 2%, according to the official polls which are admit lid flawed. and president putin polls much higher, often more than 80%. so yes, he doesn't have the figures it seems to really challenge vladimir putin. but at the same time, the kremlin is concerned that he represents certainly an emerging threat. as indicated by these nationwide protests that were called to boycott the upcoming march 2018 presidential elections in this country in which navalny has been barred from standing. monitors across the country report that more than 350 people,

the russian opposition leader, alexei navalny, has been detained by police in moscow. 185 people have been detained in support of him in a number of russian cities. he was arrested as he attended a demonstration supporting a boycott of the presidential election in march, which he claims will be rigged. this was what he had to say to his own online news channel before he was arrested. translation: i'm the head of the anti—corruption fund and i was a presidential candidate, but first and foremost, i'm a citizen, who wants to have normal election and who is not prepared to take, any longer, all this nonsense that's been going on for the past 18 years. and to extend this nonsense for another six years. our correspondent, steve rosenberg, has been at the demonstration in pushkin square in central moscow. he is russia's most prominent opposition voice, opposition leader. he's also the most vocal critic of president putin, and he has been barred from running in the presidential election which takes place in march. the reason? a suspended prison sentence he says, and his suppo

fred pleitgen following the story on both navalny and the protests. just the another day we heard from navalny that exclusive interview with our colleague matthew chance and navalny essentially saying he knows the risks, that he won't be silenced, and now there's news of this raid. >> yeah, there certainly is the raid. it is shaping up to be quite an interesting day today here, george. we're going to see how big the turnout is going to be, especially here in moscow which is usually the largest venue for the protests that navalny tends to organize. one of the things that's happened is that raid has happened. but on the flip side of that, george, what the police haven't been able to do is actually shut down a youtube feed that navalny support verse been running since the early morning hours. the police apparently is trying to stop that. i've been giving live updates of some of the protests as they've been happening. the other thing that's been going on is on this youtube feed navalny himself also spoke. he was interviewed by the host. he says he's curre

now we were standing right next to mr navalny earlier this afternoon when he was detained.atic. he was walking up the main street in moscow, towards pushkin square, then a group of russian police moved him, grabbed him, bundled him into a police van, and he was driven away. so quite dramatic, and when his supporters on pushkin square heard he had been detained, they were shouting "freedom to navalny, down with the kremlin" and "putin is a thief." the russian authorities maintain this was an unsanctioned protest, that the navalny supporters didn't have the right to be on pushkin square. now they maintain they don't need to get special permission to come out and express their opinion and denounce the presidential election. the kremlin maintains this election in march is free and fair, and that voters will have a choice of candidates to vote for, but i think it is important to say, in the system of power which vladimir putin has constructed over the last decade—and—a—half or so, it's often referred to as managed democracy. here we have a managed election. it is vladimir putin
