of course, that directly feeds into some of the things that yulia navalnaya has been saying and also some of those who follow alexey navalny has been saying that they simply don't have any access to his body. that is mother was there at the morgue there and was told that she could not have any sort of access to it. so that's something that is certainly going on. obviously, no trust in the investigation. that's going on there in russia right now, whereas the russian officials say, look, there is an investigation going on, guys. >> yeah, to say at least it's good to see you, fred. thank you for the very latest, much more to come on this fredricka. >> all right. >> joining me now is former cia officer bob baer. bob, great to see navalny's wife, yulia navalnaya posted a video this morning claiming putin killed her husband and that russian >> authorities are hiding his body. there's no evidence to substantiate her claims. obviously, russia doesn't want the world to know his cause of death. do you think they're trying to erase or manipulate? delayed navalny's cause of death and will eventu

i agree 100% with yulia navalnaya. >> there's been a lot of pushback to president biden's aid packages for ukraine. do you think this raises the stakes for getting republicans on the president's side when it comes to that? >> i certainly hope so. and most republicans, by the way, are on the president's side. i know many of them. the last time they voted in the house of representatives, 300 voted in favor of assistance. only 100 votes against. it's just speaker johnson that is blocking this, and he's blocking it because donald trump has told him to do so. and that is a gift to vladimir putin. let's be crystal clear about it. every day they block that aid, more ukrainians die. so i hope that speaker johnson will understand that he will live in infamy as a speaker, as the guy that stopped aid to ukraine, and months go by without that aid, it's going to get a lot worse. so i would hope that he would rethink that decision and instead let this aid go to ukraine. there's no better answer to the assassination of alexei navalny than to give those ukrainian soldiers the bullets they need to try

yulia navalnaya ya vowing to continue her fight. they've been asking to see his body for days. his widow accusing them of hiding his body to cover up a crime. russian investigators say they will hold it for at least two more weeks for examination. >>> and israel has given hamas a deadline to return hostages by the start of ramadan next month or face a ground offensive in the city of rafah near gaza. that's where 1.5 million are sheltering. over 100 are still being held in captivity. cbs's holly williams reports on newly released video showing the vivas family in the first days of the war. >> reporter: israel's military released this video showing a family the same day they were kidnapped october 7th, being moved by the militants. the baby was 9 months old at the time, the youngest hostage, taken with his 4-year-old brother and their parents. in november as hamas released over 100 hostages during a seven-day cease-fire, the group claimed she and her two children had been killed in an air strike. but the militants haven't shown any proof or handed over any bodies. despite mountin

yeah, everyone was watching for this and waiting after yulia navalnaya recorded that speech where sheakes. so i guess at least this comes as a relief to his family that they would be able to get him buried, because one of the scenarios described by the officials according to navalny�*s mother was that they would not give his body and would bury him in the penal colony, so definitely it's a relief that his family was able to get his body. we don't know where the funeral will take place. we know that navalny�*s mother, well at least at the time of the announcement, she was still in the arctic circle, so we don't know where exactly and when exactly the funeral will take place. and do you think russian authorities hope that by handing over navalny�*s body that this will bring an end to all the controversy that has surrounded his death? well, definitely they don't like the level of discussion and the level of coverage this all has caused. because, obviously, they were irritated by the very fact that despite being in the penal colony, navalny was able to send his messages through, to be abl

yulia navalnaya met with several eu foreign ministers this morning and before those meetings, she posted a new video online promising to find out how her husband was killed >> to slaver >> and this is just in a cowardly way. they're hiding his body, not showing to his mother, not giving to his mother. they are lying and they're waiting for the traces of another of putin snobby shock to disappear, which is color maybe cnn senior international correspondent frederik pleitgen joining us now fred, the kremlin has said that an investigation is underway. what does that mean? >> yeah. well, they said this investigation is underway and that this investigation is open-ended, that it's unclear what exactly the results of this investigation are going to be, which appears to mean that if you take into account these of navalny's comments, that apparently the body for at least the next 14 days he's going to be under some sort of investigation. they might be some sort of autopsy or other tests that are going to happen, obviously, as we've heard there from yulia navalnaya herself, she does not believe i

yulia navalnaya's reaction is not the reaction of a woman who recently learned of the death of her beloved all the attention of this world. by the way, the last time julia saw her husband was 2 years ago. deviations, that is, from some clear rules, so, probably, they most likely took this cliché, and the image of tikhanovsky, and continued it in the story of navalny himself, but at the same time i would like to say that navalny’s murder should be looked at from the point of view, that is russian federation, he was in a special regime colony, where he was essentially cut off both from the information space and physically, he did not... pose any absolutely threat to the russian federation, so he did not receive any letters, parcels, anything, and a very interesting fact is that they looked after his health very carefully , after 7 minutes an ambulance arrived, and this is, in general, the yamalo-nenets district, this is such a remote, inaccessible territory that the doctors were sitting, that is, on duty, that is, in order to save his life, well.. the russian federation clearly understood wh

vice president kamala harris essentially opened up this conference and noted that yulia navalnaya was there and not long after she finished speaking conference organizers said that there would be a surprise guest on stage and just moments later mrs. navalny, yulia navalnaya took the stage she was emotional, but certainly kept it together very powerful remarks, very stoic almost in disbelief if as you can imagine, she said that she noted that reports out of russia said that she couldn't she didn't know whether to believe them or not, but made clear that this is part of what she called the fight against evil. here's a little bit more of a chips, chips which is quarter. >> i would like to call upon all the international community, all the people in the world. we should come together and we should fight against this evil we should fight. this horrific regime in russia today. this regime and vladimir putin should be personally held responsible for all the atrocities they have committed in our country. >> and then right after that, boris and brianna, she got a standing ovation from the dign

. >> reporter: he was the kremlin's fiercest critic, now alexei navalny's widow, yulia navalnaya, filling painful void boldly accusing the russian president himself. "vladimir putin killed the father of my children, who took away the dearest thing i had." for days, the "cbs evening news" family has demanded to see his body but tonight, russian investigators say they will hold it for at least two more weeks for examination. in her searing indictment, his widow alleges it's all to cover up traces of poisoning. it was another of putin's nova chocks, the same nerve agent that nearly killed him in 2020. for his legions of outrage supporters, he's now a martyr. "we are here to honor the memory of a hero,." as if speaking from the grave, navalny sought to steal the spines of his supporters in a documentary just two years a ago. >> my message when i'm scaled is very simple. don't give out. >> reporter: the outrage truly is worldwide. in rome, people are demanding justice for alexei navalny and casting blame squarely on the kremlin. even more sanctions against russia are under consideration. >> ma

today, yulia navalnaya was in brussels, meeting european foreign ministers.she's kept a low profile. now she's vowing to unite opposition to vladimir putin. and the kremlin — what has it been saying about the death of its staunchest critic? very little. president putin has yet to make any public comments about the death of alexei navalny, but today the kremlin spokesman described accusations that it was the russian leadership that killed him as "obnoxious and utterly unacceptable". at this makeshift shrine to alexei navalny, we discovered that many of the floral tributes have been cleared away. and yet muscovites were still coming here to honour the man who called for change but would never live to see it. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford is in warsaw — and has more on what this means for any meaningful opposition in russia. yulia navalnya has really stepped deliberately and dramatically into the political spotlight with this speech. her grief at times was so raw that it was sometimes quite difficult even to
