Within the past hour or so, he confirmed actually reports that weve heard before that the kremlin was engaged in an negotiation to possibly free Alexey Navalny in the days before he finally died in an arctic penal you know, colony, a death by the way, that Vladimir Putin described as a sad event. Take a listen for mr. Navalnys passed away. Some colleagues told you that they were not members of the administration some people said that there is an idea to change mr. Navalny for some people who are in prison in western countries, you can believe me or you can choose not to. The person who spoke to me. You have not finished his sentence. Yes. I said i agree but unfortunately, what happened happened, we would exchange him i said and you pay only on one condition that he doesnt come back from the go. Let them sit there. Thats all that happens. What can we do about it . Well they, have it paula. A pretty interesting description of the negotiations that went on, apparently behind the scenes to free an in navalny before he died in his penal colony, the supporters of the late opposition leader, by the way, save the the kremlin leader that putin killed, Alexey Navalny at something the kremlin denies as part of her Ongoing Campaign to silence critics and opposition inside russia, that opposition has been further silence with the result of these elections. Are still coming through to us now, it seems that most of the votes counted Vladimir Putin has got the vast majority, well over 80 of the votes that were cast for, cast for Vladimir Putin as the kremlin leader. Further tightens his grip on power in russia and Putin Tonight also mentioned the various court cases facing former President Trump what did he say yeah, he did your right. He was of course, confronted with criticism of the undemocratic nature of the russian election. And he lashed out of that criticism, citing to take a swipe at the us president ial debate and the various Court Cases InvolvingPresumptive Republican nominee and former president donald trump. He basically said that it was undemocratic to use administrative resources like the courts to attack a president , a candidate for president of the United States. And he said that basically when it comes to the electoral process many western countries in particularly United States, are not democratic at all, but of course, despite that side swipe by the russian president s his Landslide Victory in this president ial election in which no opposition candidates, by the way, were even allowed to stand i was raised questions about democracy in russia and thats the concern of outside observers at the moment matthew chance. Thank you and for more on this. I want to bring in an apple bomb staff writer from the atlantic and i want to get your reaction to what youre hearing from Putin Tonight. Somebody usual things that weve seen at this point look with this Landslide Victory, no real opposition. Do you think that putin feels invincible so let me begin first by questioning use of the word election to describe what happened. Putin likes to use the forms of democracy as a way of legitimizing his regime in fact, hes, hes running russia illegally he was meant to have served two terms as president. Hes done that already. Hes already broken the constitution. Hes already illegally in power. Its not an election, its, there are no other candidates on the ballot who are actual opponents. People vote really in order to show that theyre upstanding citizens because they may be afraid not to vote. They may have repercussions in their jobs if they dont vote. Its not an election in any sense of the word at all. And the purpose of orchestrating it that way is for someone who is clearly in secure at some level about his power to orchestrate to create a show of approval that gives him justification. Remember it wasnt it was only a few months oh, really that he we we saw a an armed uprising against putin from prigozhin, from one of his, if Gaining Prigozhin who was a general who Ran A Mercenary group that was part of his army, part of his invasion of ukraine. And that was, that was the first time weve seen anything like that in russia in many, many years. So hes clearly nervous. Hes clearly worried. He clearly felt the need to create this enormous and bizarre show i just dont think that is the sign of someone whos very confident but do you think that this could empower him to not only continue as war in ukraine, but also potentially to invade other Eastern European countries. You know if hes going to do that, its not because of this manipulated event that were pretending is an election. Look, hes going to continue his war until hes not able to fight it anymore and hes very worried about not being able to fight it anymore, which is why hes using every piece of influence does that he can, for example, to block american aid to ukraine, to block european aid to ukraine he, he, he, he, the russians have friends, they have contacts in washington. Theyre doing their best to use propaganda on social media to convince people that ukraine cant win and so on. They have a whole series of narratives that they use to persuade americans that the war is unwinnable. But of course he knows better. Russia has lost in the last few months Something Like 10 of its oil refining capacity. Because of ukrainian drones, the Ukrainian Russian Naibe has been pushed and pushed out of the western part of the black sea theyre not moving, they should be moving forward on ukraine has far less ammunition that it did at this time last year. And yet theyre not moving very fast. Theyve lost 300,000 people who are dead or wounded its not award thats going well for them so i mean, obviously if theyre able to keep fighting it, if they are able to when if theyre able to Hoodwink Americans into persuading them theres no point in helping you cry and then they eventually, ukrainians could run out of weaponry would they go forward after that . Yes absolutely. They say so all the time in russian propaganda is the former russian president medvedev, has recently put up a map but russia that shows russia occupying most of whats now ukraine. They talk all the time about invading other countries. But part of this is a show for their own people. And its a way of scaring us. They want us to be afraid. Theyre going to escalate to make us anxious. And what theyre really afraid of, what the russians or moos mr. Afraid of, is that congress will pass the bill that gives aid to ukraine that will enable ukraine to continue fighting and eventually to win the war. I also want to ask you about navalny. Not only did putins say his name, but also said that he was open to a prisoner exchange. What do you make it that so we know there had been conversations about prisoner exchanges. Theyve gone on actually for a number of years. I dont i dont have any inside information about how close they really were to completion. I know that some people around navalnys think that the two things. One, the fact that it was, it was now being seriously discussed and the fact of these elections, those were actually the causes of his death. The reason why he was murdered right now was to prevent that exchange from happening two dash, everybodys hopes. And also to prove somehow to russians that there is no possible opposition that they cant. Theres no point in opposing putin. You know, what do you need . Needs to do to stay in power is to eliminate any idea of succession that there could anyone could replace him. That theres any alternative for russia. You wants people to believe this is the only thing that they can have. The only kind of russian than they, of course thats not true and by, by dismissing navalny or by pretending in that it was some kind of weird accident hes simply hes hes covering up what really happened. And applebaum, thank you. Thank you. And desperation on chaos in haiti tonight, after a unicef container carrying essential items for newborn babies and their mothers was looted in the capital portauprince. Now, armed groups have control over 260 containers in haitis biggest port this comes as guatemala says, its console, and haiti was ransacked and cool an act of vandalism. Cnns david culver is live on the scene in portauprince. David, what are you seeing their tonight on the ground . Hi there, paula. Yeah, we wanted to get a sense today of some of the Human Suffering that is playing out here in haitis capital city. And as we try to move out and about, i mean the logistics in the planning from a Security Perspective are quite tedious so we tried to figure out each morning how were going to go a certain route just because it can change by the hour, if not by the minute, but we were able to go to one area. It was quite striking to us and that is but was a school and now has become a Refugee Camp People who are refugees in their own city. And this one place that we went to stood out to us because its been more than a week since theyve had food brought in. They have no running water, nothing clean for them to be able to drink and bay then and theyre septic tanks are overflowing. And this gives you a quick sampling of what their life is like right now so this was a school here in portauprince, haiti and every single classroom that we pass like this one here, has now become a dorm room. Is there are dozens, if not hundreds of people . Oh, made this a recent campsite and you talked to a lot of these folks and theyve come here in the past couple of weeks because of the most recent surge in violence and gangs taking more and more territory tori here in the city but these folks have also been on the run from their own home for months, if not years one woman told me its been well over two years since youve been in her own house and she said gangs took over her community, killed her husband and forced her family to find a new home so essentially, paula, people like that have had to go from campsite to campsite even in that school, they have essentially had to figure out how to make do with not only the gangs and oftentimes will put pressure on them, but sometimes the folks who are living in that community who suddenly have new neighbors who they certainly didnt want there as theyre all dealing with constrained amount of resources and trying to figure out how to live amongst each other. But it gets violent and it gets contentious at times. And you mentioned that unicef container because its not about just trying to get things to portauprince, right . The containers are at the port several miles behind where i am and its about and then getting them from that location to distribute them within places. Portauprince, like where we visited and thats the challenge and thats where the gangs have really taken such a strong hold that the logistics of getting around many of Those Roadblocks Arrow next to impossible at time. So thats the holdup for a lot of the folks who are in that situation. That is just absolutely desperate, waiting for some help to your point about the logistics of getting help this weekend, we saw the first flights of a Un Air Bridge to help get humanitarian aid into haiti from the dominican republic. How did that go . And will there be more potentially . But this is crucial and so theyre trying to ramp up more of these Helicopter Transports and what it was initially yesterday with two helicopters that came in with mostly people, so they had the folks who were going to be replacing some of the folks here who im needed to switch out or people who can just help with some of the strategic aspects on the ground. What they really need to be bringing in are the medical supplies that we know caitlin was too. Right. So were just confirmed Senior Editor caitlin hu here, that there have been two transports of that Un Air Bridge helicopter coming in today, bringing in that much needed medical supplies. But again, paula, they come in, then the challenge starts on the ground and that can take many days to figure out how to get it to where it needs to be what can you tell us lastly, about American Citizens still stuck in portauprince yes. So you do have folks who obviously have been either volunteers who are missionaries or here for businesses and yes, many of them happened to be american. And right now the us embassy is coordinating and trying to arrange flights out of paper he should, which is about 130 miles or show for where we are. So imagine from where you are in dc going up to philadelphia, the thing is its not a simple as driving. Certainly you cant fly the airports closed. But if you were to try to hit the road, you would hit gang after gang, after gang after gang. And so its next to impossible to get to those locations from here, paula david culver.

Are gonna go to therapists if theyre having an interview which i definitely new episode tonight at nine On Cnn Tonight, and awardshow controversy. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is of course, a liberal icon. Her name graces honors from the Opperman Foundation to recognize women women like queen elizabeth, diane von furstenberg, and barbra streisand, who all previously won the award ford but this years winners are raising some eyebrows. The board was expanded to include men and women this years honorees include elon musk, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Milken are wall street banker who served some time in jail and sylvester stallone. They will all be receiving the rbg award. Now, Martha Stewart will also be among those honored. And ginsburgs children are not happy with the selections and now want her name removed from these awards. Joining us now, james ginsburg, the Late Supreme Court justices, son james, thank you so much for being with us. These awards gym, theyre intended to honor women who exemplify qualities of empathy and humility. So how did they end up with this list this year i havent got a clue. Youd have to ask the people behind the Opperman Foundation that question yeah. The original purpose of the award was i have a great if youre to recognize an extraordinary woman who was exercised a positive and notable influence on society and served as an exemplary role model in both principles and practice and whether you want to discuss the wisdom of opening up that two men are not, is one thing, but i i think it would be hard pressed to apply that description to people like elon musk and Rupert Murdoch. And thats why the family is so upset, not just a children, the whole family and her clerk family or long in fact, it was her one of our law clerks who sent the letter to the foundation saying, please rethink this. And of course, ive been contacted by people i know and people even that i dont know about this saying how upset they are. My sister even got a threatening letter because one of the things we want to do here is set the record straight. The family had nothing to do with this we were not consulted we are vehemently against this appropriation of our mothers name and this insult to her legacy now the Opperman Foundation has not responded to cnns requests for comment, but how do you think your mother would respond to this list of honorees . I think shed be appalled i think these are people who pretty much are stand in against all the things that she stood for in terms of trying to bring people into the make the world a better place . For people striving for equality and for a more inclusive world where everybody is treated with respect i think that one of our law clerks made a great analogy because i should mention that we looked at their 990, which is the form and i run enough for profit, so i dont know all about this. Form that a nonprofit that has to give the government saying he kept, heres our purpose. And therefore, im actually has the description of the award very almost exactly the same description as i just read you and its a little bit like as one of her law clerks put it, if somebody gave money to a university to build a physics lab and they built Football Stadium instead. Its so violates the purpose of what was intended here. And this is not what my mother signed onto when the award was first created. And is it that you have a problem with the award being expanded to menn or is it just these menn in particular well, we could discuss that, but yeah, the the particular awardees and we can discuss the wisdom of each one, but the two that obviously stand out here our elon musk and Rupert Murdoch. When you think of trying to create a more just society, which of course was moms ultimate goal . Those are probably about the last names that would come to mind. Are there any names at the top of your head that come to who you think would have been more appropriate recipients oh, i mean i there are so many. I wouldnt want to even begin to suggest. I think previous awardees are good examples of that. But theres so many people people try actually trying to do good in the world. And that was the goal originally of this award was to recognize those kind of people. And i dont want to single out one over another because i would be doing an injustice too. Im sure all the great people out there who would be appropriate recipients but clearly, the ones theyve named are not. Going forward, how do you plan to rectify this to make sure this doesnt happen again next year with your after well, as another famous Supreme Court justice once said, sunlight is the best disinfectant. So were starting and thank you so much for you on so that i can set the record straight i dont want to speak to what our other plans might be the foundation doesnt see the wisdom im disgusting. And ending this desecration of my mothers memory but i will say that we will continue to fight this jim ginsburg.

Theyre not something that israel, theres rarely public does on its own and were not a Banana Republic this comes after the head of the World Health Organization says he is gravely concerned after netanyahu approved plans for a major offensive in rafah gaza were about one million gazans have fled trying to find safety from the violence of the war. Whole ahead. And cox joins me now from doha, qatar, paula, were hearing some reaction about netanyahus planned operation. What more can you tell us . Well pull a netanyahu was fairly blunt today saying that that rafah offensive, as he called, it, would take place. He said that it will likely last several weeks. It has humanitarian groups that has leaders around the world, extremely concerned the wellbeing of those 1. 41, 0. 5 million palestinians who are currently sheltering in this area that weve heard that just last friday the Prime Minister actually approved that the military plan and the Evacuation Plan he is planning to evacuate civilians to what he calls humanitarian enclaves. He says that will be done with the International Community where they will have food, water, and shelter. But that is all the details we have at this point. It does seem a particularly difficult task to carry out. And in a place where the un says many are on the brink of famine, the white house as well saying that they dont and have any credible details about how they are going to make sure that these palestinians are kept out of harms way at this point. But israel is adamant that it has to carry out all right. This particular offensive, saying this is the last bastion of hamas. Now here in doha on monday, we are expecting the mossad director to come and restart the negotiations with the mediators. Qatar, and also of egypt. Theyre going to respond to the proposal so the counter proposal from hamas, when it comes to trying to hammer out some kind of a ceasefire, it is a deal that netanyahu was called his is cooled absurd at this point and unrealistic, but he is still willing to send his mossad director here. There is a hope that could be something coming out on monday. Hola hola hand cox. Thank you.

Now a delay in the Manhattan Criminal Trial against him makes it just a little bit less likely that he will stand trial in any of his criminal cases before the 2024 election joining me now, ghraieb have as he is a Criminal Defense Lawyer, he also used to represent Rudy Giuliani and the Georgia Election subversion case brian, thank you for joining us. Lets talk a little bit about what happened in georgia this past week everybody i think knows there was this effort to disqualify fani willis, but i want to Start Talking about the judge who to make this decision. Scott mcafee hizon, early 30s. Hes been on the jug the bench for just over a year and hes handle this handle this incredible least sensitive issue with the cameras in the courtroom. How do you think he did i mean, i dont think you could find a flaw so far he has an excellent demeanor. Hes patient, he listens he takes notes, his rulings come out timely, and i even personally find myself agreeing with some of his rulings. Of course not the ones where hes ruled against me. But in this case, i think theres hes shown that hes a very sound jurist. Ive been impressed many people i talked to on both sides have also been impressed i mean, to be thrown into a case of this magnitude right after taking the bench. Thats no small feat to be able to even keep pace with the scheduling, the amount of motions, not to mention he has other cases yeah, absolutely. Is up for reelection soon. All right. So he issued this opinion effectively saying fani willis can stay if nathan wade, her former romantic partner, goes, he stepped down. But in this opinion, fani willis does not come away unscathed. He criticizes her professionalism, her judgment, and take some shots at her honesty. Brian, how do you walk into a courtroom and try a case in front of a judge who said those things about two well certainly difficult. I mean, in this profession, were used to taking losses, taking criticism, getting right back up. And you still have to advance the case forward. No one wants to be referred to as unprofessional and a court filing, especially not in this profession. As you said, her entire office has cases in that courthouse. They have to return to that courtroom. They could have a blow dealt to their own credibility. Certainly not what you want to read, but at the same time, i think some of the decisions that you made have gotten us to this point. Its not as if it was just what took place in the courtroom that de there has been this ongoing issue, which is of course why defense filed the motion the first place see, we explore how did we get here, how did this happen and so i think that theyll lick their wounds, get back up, and continue with the case. Now that weight is resigned, she has plenty of season prosecutors within her office who are completely capable of handling the case like this many of them who will remain on the case maybe theyll appoint somebody else to replace wade. But they have no choice but to move forward. Well, lets previously said she wants to bring this case against trump and over dozen codefendants in august of this year. But this Disqualification Process took up a couple of months do you think its realistic that this case could start this year its hard to say. I mean, the volume of discovery in a case like this takes a long time to go through. The main thing that im looking for now is what is the state going to do as far as are they going to point someone else . So they can just move forward with the team that they have but also they were held. There was another ruling that came down just before this one from judge mcafee granting the dimmers with respect to several council the indictment. So the state now has to decide do we seek a certificate tried to appeal that. Do we move forward with an indictment that has fewer accounts . Or do we go back to the drawing board, represented the grand jury and try to get indictments on those counts again, as he noted in his order, unlike federal court, theres no way for them to cure this by giving more particular information they have to go and seek a new indictment if they want to proceed on the counts that were just quashed and if they get it wrong the second time in georgia, a second quash on the same count means you can never bring that count again, its extinguished. So theyll have to make some really careful decisions if they want to bring the same counts for a long time, trumps legal team said they worry the most about the Georgia Election subversion case because of the gravity of the charges, but also the fact that it lies outside the pardon power do you think that this should still be their biggest concern given the four criminal cases well, i mean, any criminal case is a great concern. I mean, you have the weight of the government. I dont care how much money im and your resources you have, you will never outspend the government having all of these cases going on at the same time is its just an unbelievable complexity. Not just the potential at the end of the road, but even defending such case, if you give testimony because you feel you have a good defense in one case, that transcript is going to be available the next time youre testify. And so you may want to assert certain rights to not testify in one case, but you need to testify in another case. There are all these considerations that they have to go through, not to mention the timing and the scheduling aspects. You have four cases, even the judges in those cases are trying to figure out how do we try this with the other trials on the horizon, because certainly defendants have a right to be present participle fade in their own case.

Christine, it all comes down to sunday. Its election for College Basketball. Were still waiting on the woMens Brackets, but we do have the Mens Brackets here. What are your big surprises . The big surprises are a couple of teams like pit, they or their fans certainly are not happy tonight. Pittsburgh, Indiana State are real Cinderella Team with a great tradition way, way back with larry bird some st. Johns fans will not be happy another example of teams that may feel they were snubbed. Paula is oklahoma so those are a couple of those are probably the four names that people will hear the flip side, of course connecticut, the defending mans champion coming back as the number one seed overall, youve got houston, purdue, and North Carolina blue line. There, their back. And even though three of those 14s lost their conference tournaments, the only one, that one there conference tournament is yukon. But those two those four teams look strong. And i think theres a big question too about purdue out of the big ten. Produce had heartache. Theyve lost in the last two two of the three years. They have lost in their first a very highly ranked produ team. And so can produ do what their fans want them to do and get to the mens final four. Thats it. Thats another big question out there among many as people are starting to begin to think about the mens bracket is were about to find out about the womens i could hear in a few minutes. Are while were waiting for word on the womens teams, do you have any predictions there will certainly. Weve got to talk about the most famous name in college sports. And thats Caitlin Clark and her iowa team has been playing much better in the last few weeks and one, the Big Ten Tournament last week, coming back from a deficit in the final few minutes and really, really playing well. So we would think that i will will be a number one seed. South carolina is the best team in Womens Basketball undefeated. I dont stay lays team is looking strong. Then i think maybe through teams from out west, when youre looking at stanford and the us see Southern California with their freshmen started due to watkins. This is a great time for Womens Basketball hall. Its a great time for the womens game and for the respect for the womens game, what i was watching, the mens selection show kept talking about mens basketball. The adjective that wasnt used for generation decades. And now it is as being used. The talk about mens and woMens Brackets. I will be interesting to see how many more people will do a woMens Brackets this year than ive ever done them in the past because of the celebrity of Caitlin ClarkSelling Out Arenas Millions of fans. Frankly, the womens game has been Getting Better tv ratings in the mens. And so will we see people . Filling out woMens Brackets that old excuse that they didnt know the players, so they didnt know any of the teams. Well, that excuses out the window with the celebrity, the fame, and of course the recordbreaking season. Clark all right, really quickly . Who do you have winning your woMens Brackets and york Mens Brackets well, certainly i love to cio would go as far as possible, the womens, but ill south carolina, its gonna be tough and then you can demand winning their six ncaa title. The women have 11 at uconn, so the man are trying to catch up. So ill go with you unanswered south carolina. All right. Christine brennan. Thank you.
