In 2022, he was sentenced to 19 years on charges that were widely seen as politically motivated.His team said Navalny had filed his own lawsuits for failure to provide medical care many times during the three years he spent in prison, but all were denied.Nicknamed Polar Wolf, the penal colony is known for a culture of collective punishment.The director of Navalny’s foundation claimed the letter received by Ms Navalnaya suggested that only Navalny himself could be a plaintiff in the claim.”I wonder how?” Ivan Zhdanov said in a post on Telegram.Yulia Navalnaya also reacted to the news on social media, claiming on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the case was dismissed to avoid evidence of her late husband’s death being aired in court.”There is only one reason [the case was dismissed] – at the trial, they have to provide documents and videos about what happened on 16 February,” she said.Russia’s most vociferous Putin criticPutin names Navalny and claims he agreed swapLife in notorious ‘Polar Wolf’ penal colonyThe Kremlin denied allegations that Navalny was murdered by Russian authorities, calling Western reaction to his death “hysterical”.For more than a decade, Mr Putin refused to refer to his political opponent by name, but this changed after his death.”As for Navalny, yes he passed away, this is always a sad event,” Mr Putin said after claiming his fifth term as president.Related TopicsRussiaAlexei NavalnyVladimir PutinMore on this storyPutin claims landslide and scorns US democracyPublished3 days agoNavalny ally blames Putin’s men for hammer attackPublished13 MarchNavalny’s mother ‘given hours to agree to secret burial’Published23 FebruaryWhat Navalny’s funeral tells us about Russia todayPublished2 MarchTop StoriesLive. US accuses Apple of monopolising smartphone marketLive. Which women might get state pension compensation?

Leonid Volkov was assaulted with a hammer and tear gas while in his car in Vilnius on Tuesday night, Navalny spokesperson Kira Yarmysh said.The alleged assailant is unknown, as is their motive.Lithuanian police have been informed of the incident and are investigating, according to the Reuters news agency.Another member of the Navalny team, Ivan Zhdanov, posted pictures on social media of Mr Volkov with a bloodied lower left leg and what looked like bruising to his temple. He has been taken to hospital. Asked whether the assailant shouted anything, Mr Zhdanov said: “Everything happened in silence.””Of course this is a clear political attack, there is no doubt here”. Mr Volkov has lived outside Russia for some years for his own safety and served as Navalny’s chief-of-staff until the opposition leader died suddenly in prison in the Russian Arctic last month while serving a 19-year sentence after being convicted of charges that were politically motivated.Mr Volkov, 43, also faces various politically motivated charges in Russia. He served as chairman of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation until last year when he resigned following the revelation he had signed letters calling for the European Union to drop some Russian sanctions.Despite living outside Russia he has also made sure that the activism of Navalny and his team could continue.This has included anti-corruption investigations, YouTube videos and livestreams during protests and major events in Russia.Many more activists moved to join Mr Volkov abroad in 2021 after Navalny’s entire political organisation was labelled “extremist” and banned in Russia. Several of Navalny’s former team are now in prison, as well as some of his lawyers.With presidential elections this weekend, Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalnaya has called on opponents of Vladimir Putin to turn up at polling stations across Russia at midday on Sunday in an act of peaceful political protest.It was an idea supported by Alexei Navalny before he died.Related TopicsRussiaLithuaniaAlexei NavalnyMore on this storyPutin critic Navalny dies in Arctic Circle jail, says RussiaPublished16 FebruaryTop StoriesNo 10 says Tory donor’s alleged comments about Abbott were racistPublished1 hour agoBBC report into treatment of Gaza medics ‘very disturbing’ – CameronPublished4 hours agoGaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated themPublished17 hours agoFeaturesThe gangsters and rebels jostling over power in HaitiCan royals move on from Kate photo media storm?The Ukrainian sea drones hunting Russian warshipsHow the miners’ strike changed the role of womenMeet the pop star who brought some cheek to the Brit AwardsWhat is TikTok and could the US ban it?’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’ Video’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’Schoolboy recounts daring escape from Nigerian kidnap gangWhen wind turbine blades get old what’s next?Elsewhere on the BBCThe powerful emotional impact of Pink Floyd’s musicShine On You Crazy Diamond has helped people through their hardest timesAttributionSoundsFrom the largest ship to disasters on deck…A closer look at times when cruise ships have caused commotionAttributioniPlayer’I was mad for stuff but I didn’t realise I wasn’t happy’Stuart Mitchell’s search for happiness will make us all question the true cost of livingAttributionSoundsMisled with the promise of a home…Panorama investigates the mobile home swindleAttributioniPlayerMost Read1Navalny ally Leonid Volkov attacked in Lithuania2No 10 says Tory donor’s alleged comments were racist3Ashes and 35 bodies removed from funeral home4Can royals move on from Kate photo media storm?5Andrew Tate and brother can be extradited to UK6Ghislaine Maxwell appeals sex abuse conviction7NHS England to stop prescribing puberty blockers8UK to pay failed asylum seekers to move to Rwanda9Prince William attends Thomas Kingston’s funeral10Ukraine-based groups claim raids into Russia

Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, as well as several world leaders, have directly blamed the Russian president for his death.Navalny’s team had originally wanted to hold the funeral on 29 February, but “it quickly became clear that there was not a single person around who could dig a grave on that day”, Ivan Zhdanov, the director of Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, wrote on X.Mr Zhdanov implied that the reason for this was that Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to make his yearly address to the Federal Assembly on the same day. “The Kremlin understands that nobody will care for Putin and his address on the day of Alexei’s farewell,” he wrote.He also encouraged people to arrive early “to have a chance to say goodbye to Alexei”.Alexei Navalny: More coverageOBITUARY: Russia’s most vociferous Putin criticREAD MORE: What we know about reports of Navalny’s death BEHIND BARS: Life in notorious ‘Polar Wolf’ penal colonyIN HIS OWN WORDS: Navalny’s dark humour during dark timesSTEVE ROSENBERG: Grief, defiance and hope among Navalny supportersWATCH: Oscar-winning BBC documentary on NavalnyRelated TopicsRussiaAlexei NavalnyMoscowVladimir PutinTop Stories‘Green’ UK power station still burning rare forest woodPublished4 hours agoBiden wins Michigan primary despite Gaza protest votePublished5 hours agoMPs facing threats to get security as part of £31m packagePublished27 minutes agoFeaturesFree tuition a ‘beacon of hope’ for med studentsThe Papers: ‘Day of royal tragedy and drama’ and ‘£16 packs of cigs’Why South Korean women aren’t having babiesWhy Google’s ‘woke’ AI problem won’t be an easy fixGazans in survival mode with cold nights and food rations’My mother’s body was left by smugglers in the desert’Watch: Inside the famous Sistine Chapel after crowds leave.

Mr Navalny’s team believes the anti-corruption campaigner was murdered on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.A rights group said 300 Russians had been arrested for laying tributes.Western governments say the blame lies with Russian authorities for the 47-year-old’s sudden death, while foreign ministers from the G7 group of rich countries called on Russia to “urgently clarify” the circumstances surrounding it.Mr Putin has not publicly commented since the Russian prison service announced on Friday that Mr Navalny had been taken ill and died at the remote IK-3 prison in the Arctic Circle.In the immediate aftermath, the Kremlin said it was aware and the president had been informed.Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it rejected “biased and unrealistic” assessments over his cause of death made during a meeting with British officials on Saturday.Rosenberg: Dissent takes courage – and Navalny supporters are defiantIn pictures – Navalny’s years as a Putin criticNavalny – what next for Russia?Mr Navalny was one of the most prominent faces of Russian opposition to Mr Putin’s regime and was serving a three-decade sentence for politically-motivated charges at the “Polar Wolf” penal colony in Kharp, about 1,200 miles (1,900 km) north of Moscow.His mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, was reportedly told by the prison service he died on Friday after collapsing and falling unconscious during a walk, his team said.She visited the colony on Saturday and was given an official notice stating the time of death as 14:17 local time (09:17 GMT), Ms Yarmysch said.Another Navalny ally, Ivan Zhdanov, said the activist’s mother was told he died of “sudden death syndrome” – a generic, vague term for a condition which causes sudden death from cardiac arrest with no apparent cause. His team said that Ms Navalnaya was told his body had been taken to the town of Salekhard, near the prison complex, but when she arrived the morgue was closed. Prison officials reportedly told her an initial post-mortem examination was inconclusive and a second would have to be carried out. Mr Navalny’s allies claim his body is purposely being withheld by the Russian authorities so they can “cover traces”, and call for the body to be returned to his family “immediately”. Image source, ReutersImage caption, Tributes to Mr Navalny have poured in from across the globeMeanwhile, more than 300 people have been arrested following vigils and gatherings across Russia, according to independent Russian human rights monitoring group OVD-Info.OVD-Info, which reports on freedom of assembly in Russia, said arrests had taken place in 32 cities, with the largest numbers in the capital Moscow and St Petersburg.On Saturday, police in Moscow detained about 15 people who had laid flowers and lit candles at the foot of the “Wall of Grief” monument to the victims of repression during the Soviet-era. Protests are also being held near Russian embassies in many countries. G7 foreign ministers meeting at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday observed a minute’s silence to pay tribute to the Russian activist.British Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron said the UK would be “taking action”. “When appalling human rights outrages like this take place, what we do is we look at whether there are individual people that are responsible and whether there are individual measures and actions we can take,” said Cameron, who added that he would not share in advance what measures the UK intended.Also in Munich was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who described Mr Putin as a “thug” and said it was “absurd” to perceive him as the “legitimate head of a Russian state”. Mr Navalny had been an outspoken critic of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began two years ago next week.Alexei Navalny: More coverageOBITUARY: Russia’s most vociferous Putin criticREAD MORE: What we know about reports of Navalny’s death BEHIND BARS: Life in notorious ‘Polar Wolf’ penal colonyIN HIS OWN WORDS: Navalny’s dark humour during dark timesSARAH RAINSFORD: Navalny was often asked: ‘Do you fear for your life?’WATCH: Oscar-winning BBC documentary on NavalnyRelated TopicsDavid CameronWar in UkraineVolodymyr ZelenskyRussiaSt PetersburgAlexei NavalnyMoscowVladimir PutinUkraineMore on this storyRosenberg: Dissent takes courage – and Navalny supporters are defiantPublished5 hours agoTop StoriesNavalny’s team accuses Russia of ‘hiding’ his bodyPublished1 hour agoRosenberg: Dissent takes courage – and Navalny supporters are defiantPublished5 hours agoZelensky warns of ‘artificial deficit’ of weaponsPublished4 hours agoFeaturesHow Russian state media are spinning Navalny deathRosenberg: Dissent takes courage – and Navalny supporters are defiantNavalny’s life in ‘Polar Wolf’ remote penal colonyMarina Litvinenko on the death of Alexei Navalny.

That’s the equestrian sport, not the mints.Delfina Blaquier, married to Prince Harry’s polo-playing friend Nacho Figueras, also posted a picture of the new jam, with hers labelled “10 of 50”.The social media trail for American Riviera Orchard evokes a sense of the couple’s home in California – and this soft launch for the jam show pictures of the jars in a sunny basket of lemons.It’s not known how much items from the new lifestyle brand will cost. Although there are already plenty of other royals getting into jams. Visitors to the gift shops in royal palaces can get a Buckingham Palace Strawberry Preserve for £3.95 or Windsor Castle Fine Cut Seville Orange Marmalade, also for £3.95.On both sides of the Atlantic they seem to be conserving their finances.Related TopicsUK Royal FamilyMeghan, Duchess of SussexMore on this storyWhat we know about Meghan’s regal lifestyle brandPublished16 MarchMeghan launches surprise new lifestyle brandPublished14 MarchTop StoriesMPs back smoking ban for those born after 2009Published8 minutes agoMuslim student loses school prayer ban challengePublished2 hours agoBowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelinePublished7 hours agoFeaturesJeremy Bowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelineIranians on edge as leaders say ‘Tel Aviv is our battleground’A really, really big election with nearly a billion votersWhat is the smoking ban and how will it work?Martin Tyler: I nearly lost my voice foreverWho are the millions of Britons not working?How to register to vote for the local elections ahead of midnight deadlinePlaying Coachella after cancer emotional, says DJHow the Alec Baldwin fatal film set shooting unfoldedElsewhere on the BBCFrom weight loss to prolonging lifeIs intermittent fasting actually good for you?

It focuses on whether a 2002 federal law created to prevent corporate misconduct could apply to individuals involved in the 6 January riots. More than 350 people have been charged in the incident under that law, which carries a 20-year prison penalty.Donald Trump faces the same charge in the pending federal case accusing him of election interference. The law makes it a crime to “corruptly” obstruct or impede an official proceeding. On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices heard two hours of arguments over the law’s interpretation. However, it remained unclear how they would rule. A lawyer for a man who stormed the Capitol and was prosecuted under the law argued before the Justices that “a host of felony and misdemeanour” crimes already exist to prosecute his clients actions.The 2002 law passed in the wake of the Enron accounting scandal, Jeffrey Green said, was not one of them. US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar counterargued that rioters deliberately attempted “to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the election,” therefore obstructing an official proceeding. Both fielded sceptical questions from the Justices. At one point, Mr Green argued that there is no historical precedent in which the law was used to prosecute demonstrators.Justice Sonia Sotomayor replied: “We’ve never had a situation before where (there was an attempt) to stop a proceeding violently, so I am not sure what a lack of history proves.”On the other hand, Ms Prelogar fielded questions from Justice Neil Gorusch on whether the law could then be stretched to apply to a “sit-in that disrupts a trial” or “a heckler” at the State of the Union Address. “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?” he asked, appearing to reference an incident in which Jamaal Bowman, Democrat House representative, pressed a fire alarm in the Capitol.How the top court rules could have wide-ranging effects on the hundreds of people charged, convicted or sentenced under the law, as well as the prosecution of Mr Trump. Here is a breakdown of the key players and the law being argued: What is the 2002 federal law at the centre of the trial?The law is called the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It was passed in response to the Enron scandal in the early 2000s, after it was exposed that those involved had engaged in massive fraud and shredding documents. It criminalizes the destruction of evidence – like records or documents. But it also penalises anyone who “otherwise obstructs, influences or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.” How has it been used in response to the 6 January riots?Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has brought obstruction charges against those who participated in the storming of the Capitol. Federal prosecutors argue they did so to impede Congress’ certification of the presidential electoral vote count to cement Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Therefore, the latter portion of the law that deals with obstructing an “official proceeding” would apply, the DoJ says. Who is challenging the law’s use in this case, and why? The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to the law’s application brought forward by a former Pennsylvania police officer.Joseph Fischer was charged under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with obstruction of a congressional proceeding on 6 January, as well as assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct. His lawyers argue that prosecutors overreached with applying the Act, which they say deals explicitly with destroying or tampering with evidence integral to an investigation. Those who challenge the law’s application in 6 January cases also argue that a broad interpretation of the law would allow the prosecution of lobbyists or protestors who disrupt matters in Congress.How could the Supreme Court ruling impact Trump?The former president is charged under the very same law in a federal case accusing him of working to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Mr Biden.If Supreme Court justices rule that the law does not apply to the 6 January rioters, Mr Trump could seek dismissal of half the charges he faces in that case.It also could be seen as a political win for the former president, who is seeking re-election in November, as he repeatedly has accused prosecutors of overreach. A final ruling is not expected until June.

Local authorities had raised concerns over public safety.A UK spokeswoman called reports of police action “extremely disturbing”. She said that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was a “strong supporter and advocator for free speech” and that he was “very clear that cancelling events or preventing attendance and no-platforming speakers is damaging to free speech and to democracy as a result”.Alexander De Croo, the Belgian prime minister, said that the shutting down of the conference was “unacceptable”.Referring to the fact that it was the local mayor, Emir Kir, who opposed the conference, Mr De Croo added that while municipal autonomy was a cornerstone of Belgium’s democracy it could “never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech”. “Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop,” Mr De Croo wrote on X.In a message to organisers, Mr Kir had said some of the attendees of Tuesday’s conference held anti-gay and anti-abortion views. “Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right,” his statement said.Mr Kir also wrote on X: “The far right is not welcome.”Nigel Farage, who took to the stage this morning, told the BBC the decision to close down the conference because there were homophobes in the audience was “cobblers”, and that he condemned the decision as an attempt to stifle free speech. “Thank God For Brexit”, he said.Organised by a think-tank called the Edmund Burke Foundation, the National Conservatism Conference is a global movement which espouses what it describes as traditional values, which it claims are being “undermined and overthrown”. It also opposes further European integration.The conference said it aimed to bring together “public figures, journalists, scholars and students” who understood the connection between conservatism and the idea of nationhood and national traditions. French far-right politician Eric Zemmour, arriving for the conference after police had blocked the entrance, told journalists that Mr Kir was “using the police as a private militia to prevent… Europeans from taking part freely”.Organisers said Mr Zemmour was not allowed into the venue and that his address would be postponed.Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and far-right French politician Eric Zemmour were listed as keynote speakers. The National Conservatism Conference reportedly started around 08:00 (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday and carried on for three hours until police showed up and asked the organisers to make attendees leave.Later, organisers wrote on X: “The police are not letting anyone in. People can leave, but they cannot return. Delegates have limited access to food and water, which are being prevented from delivery. Is this what city mayor Emir Kir is aiming for?”Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki were due to speak tomorrow. Earlier, the organisers said on X that they would challenge the order to shut the conference down. “The police entered the venue on our invitation, saw the proceedings and the press corps, and quickly withdrew. Is it possible they witnessed how peaceful the event is?,” they wrote on X.The Claridge event space – located near Brussels’s European Quarter – can host up to 850 people. Around 250 people were in attendance on Tuesday afternoon.Mohamed Nemri, the owner of Claridge, told the BBC he had decided to host the event because “we don’t reject any party…. even if we don’t have the same opinion. That’s normal”.”I am Muslim and people have different opinion and that’s it. We are living in a freedom country. I’d like to people to talk freely,” he added.It is the third venue that was supposed to hold the event, after the previous two fell through. Belgian media reported that one venue pulled out after pressure by a group called the “Antifascist coordination of Belgium”.Related TopicsBelgiumTop StoriesMuslim student loses school prayer ban challengePublished43 minutes agoBowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelinePublished5 hours agoLive. US expects to impose further sanctions on Iran ‘in the coming days’FeaturesJeremy Bowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelineIranians on edge as leaders say ‘Tel Aviv is our battleground’A really, really big election with nearly a billion votersWhat is the smoking ban and how will it work?Martin Tyler: I nearly lost my voice foreverWho are the millions of Britons not working?How to register to vote for the local elections ahead of midnight deadlineMeteorite ‘repeatedly transformed’ on space journeyHow the Alec Baldwin fatal film set shooting unfoldedElsewhere on the BBCFrom weight loss to prolonging lifeIs intermittent fasting actually good for you?

The metal object was jettisoned from the orbiting outpost in March 2021, Nasa said on Monday after analysing the sample at the Kennedy Space Center.The 1.6lb (0.7kg) metal object tore through two layers of ceiling after re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Homeowner Alejandro Otero said his son was nearly injured by the impact. Nasa said the object was part of some 5,800lbs of hardware that was dumped by the station after it had new lithium-ion batteries installed. “The hardware was expected to fully burn up during entry through Earth’s atmosphere on March 8, 2024. However, a piece of hardware survived and impacted a home in Naples, Florida,” the agency said.The debris was determined to be part of a stanchion used to mount batteries on a cargo pallet. The object, made from metal alloy Inconel, has dimensions of 4in by 1.6in (10.1cm by 4cm).Mr Otero told CBS affiliate Wink-TV that the device created a “tremendous sound” as it blasted into his home.”It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,” he said.”I was shaking. I was completely in disbelief. What are the chances of something landing on my house with such force to cause so much damage,” Mr Otero continued.”I’m super grateful that nobody got hurt.”According to Nasa, the ISS will “perform a detailed investigation” on how the debris survived burn-up.What’s the risk of being hit by falling space debris?Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s more space junkSpace junk has been a growing a problem. Earlier this month, sky watchers in California watched mysterious golden streaks moving through the night sky.US officials later determined that the light show was caused by burning debris from a Chinese rocket re-entering earth’s orbit.In February, a Chinese satellite known as “Object K” burned up as it re-entered the atmosphere over Hawaii.Last year, a barnacle-covered giant metal dome found on a Western Australian beach was identified as a component of an Indian rocket. There are plans to display it alongside chunks of Nasa’s Skylab, which crashed in Australia in 1979.

At the time of his arrest, he was an active duty member of the US Marines. Prosecutors said Brannon was a neo-Nazi who frequently spoke of “cleansing” the US of “particular ethnic groups”. In November, Brannon pleaded guilty to conspiracy, destruction of property, possession of an explosive and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility.Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, said the attack “was designed to terrorise patients seeking reproductive healthcare and the people who provide it”.The explosion damaged the front entrance to the clinic in Costa Mesa, Orange County. No one was injured.However, Mehtab Syed, of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, said Brannon’s “deep-rooted hatred and extremist views… could have killed innocent people”. Mr Syed added that Brannon plotted to rob Jewish residents in the Hollywood Hills, and had also discussed plans to attack the power grid. Further to this, in 2022, Mr Syed said Brannon, of San Juan Capistrano, placed calls to two US “adversaries” hoping to offer himself as a “mole” providing US intelligence.Two co-defendants, Tibet Ergul and Xavier Batten, have pleaded guilty to similar charges and will be sentenced next month.According to the National Abortion Federation, a group representing US abortion providers, there was a “sharp increase” in violence against clinics in 2022.
