tonight as worldwide outrage grows over Alexi naval's death Mr president President Biden saying the US is considering more sanctions against Russia while condemning House Republicans for blocking Aid to Ukraine UK the way they're walking away from the thread of Russia the way they're walking away from NATO is just shocking inside Russia images from an anti-putin news Outlet reportedly showing what may be the Convoy transferring naval's remains from his Arctic prison although the video could not
be independently verified naval's mother traveling to the morg but told she will have to wait two weeks to recover his body and today naval's wife Julia accusing the Kremlin of poisoning her husband and waiting for traces of poison to disappear although the cause of naval's sudden death has not been revealed publicly ulia also vowing to carry on her husband's fight hundreds across Russia have been arrested paying tribute to navali Putin's fiercest critic but on the battlefield Putin scoring an

e is a direct link between lack of Aid coming from the US and the rising casualties he's seeing you know that the aid has been held up do you think that has made a difference the less Firepower you have the more casualties you have the more lives are lost it's directly related Ukraine's president zalinski is closely tracking what's happening in the Republic house and is warning allies that any deficit of weapons here in Ukraine risks giving Russia breathing space highlighting once again Ukraine'

ems Trump writing the sudden death of Alexa navali has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our country claiming that rigged elections and grossly unfair courtroom decisions are destroying America Trump has faced days of scathing criticism from opponent Nikki Haley for refusing to condemn Putin I don't know why he keeps getting weak in the knes when it comes to Russia Haley campaigning on Trump's history of praising Putin viers of comments like that moment on the world stage when
Trump said he takes Putin at his word including when Russia was accused of meddling in US elections President Putin uh he just said it's not Russia I will say this I don't see any reason why it would be on the trail Trump blasting his latest legal blow a New York judge finding him liable for fraud ordering him to pay 3555 million it's a horrible horrible thing that's taking place today Trump's attorney saying the former president will be able to cover the penalty massive Bond payment within 30 d
ays even if we choose to appeal this which we will we have to post the bond which is the full amount and sum um and uh we will be prepared to do that she wouldn't say if Trump would have to liquidate assets to cover the fine but insists he has the money he's strong he's resilient and he happens to have a lot of cash and David there are just five days until the South Carolina primary with Nikki Haley trailing behind Donald Trump by more than 30 points in her home state and Haley's campaign says t
omorrow she'll be giving a speech in South Carolina on the state of the presidential race David yeah we learned about this speech Just moments ago we'll be watching it tomorrow Selena thank you in the meantime we turn to the tragic scene in Minnesota two officers in a paretic shot and killed responding to a domestic call and tonight here the audio First Responders arriving on the scene The Suspect with children inside the home here's Alex PR tonight terrifying police scanner audio describing the
