that s almost sort of blaming the opposition. reporter: yes, indeed. many opposition figures have taken offense to that kremlin line that this callingkilling was staged to make the russian government look bad. opposition is saying no. the fact this killing could take place in the shadow of the kremlin of boris nemtsov shows just what kind of place russia has become. so, you know they object to this kremlin line that this was about them. the investigators, i have to say, are following a number of different threads of investigation. one of them is the opposition they say, could have orchestrated the killing of boris nemtsov to attract
kremlin. that s the really potent message this killing has sent to ordinary russians. many i have spoken to are scared about what the future holds for them particularly if they are sympathetic to the points of view. boris nemtsov came up out of the era of democracy and new freedoms and the fall of the old soviet empire. is there a feeling the country is moving in the wrong direction and moving away from the democracy and moving away from the things boris nemtsov came up as young politicians under? reporter: look if any further evidence were needed that is the direction away from democracy and liberty. if any further evidence were needed of that the killing of boris nemtsov, perhaps this
of nemtsov think about that? reporter: i think there is a sense where people find that offensive. those particular people you mentioned. one strand of inquiry the police are firing up is the members of the opposition carried out the killing or called for the killing to create more sympathy for the calls. the line that the kremlin meant it as a provocation to make the russian government look bad, that is something that doesn t really seriously believes. what is believed here is russia has become a country where a senior politician like boris nemtsov, the leader of the opposition can be gunned down within eye sight of the center of the country. beneath the walls of the
washington. michelle kosinski has the latest. reporter: we are hearing the concerns from lawmakers and from the secretary of state and from within the white house there could be sensitive information revealed by prime minister netanyahu in the big speech before congress. it seems like that is coming from the israeli delegation putting out the sorts of teasers that we are going to hear something that we have not heard before. there is good reason to believe that. remember, over the last couple of days leading up to the big speech, they have revealed certain bits of information about the ongoing nuclear negotiations with iran. it could have a ten-year timeframe. the white house was asked about that and they said no that is not accurate. we heard from president obama on the negotiations and it does seem like they are going for a ten-year timeframe. the white house issued a warning about revealing sensitive information. here is the press secretary. the release of that
investigation? reporter: apparently not. she has been questioned by the russian investigators and she has given her witness testimony. something along the lines of we were walking back from a restaurant. she and boris nemtsov. she has been his girlfriend for a couple of years. they were having dinner on red square. she said somebody shot boris nemtsov in the back. he went soft and fell to the floor. she didn t see the killer. she didn t see the car which the killer made his escape in. the police have questioned her. she has now been handed over to consulate officials from the ukrainian embassy. she is now, we understand back in ukraine. she has left russia. there s not much more i don t think, that she is going to be able to add in terms of clarity to how the killing took place. the kremlin saying this was a provocation to stain the reputation of vladimir putin.
