In russia, thousands of people have been paying respects to a man who dared to defy the kremlin. The funeral of leading opposition figure, Boris Nemtsov took place earlier today. He was gunned down on friday night and as of yet, no arrests have been made. Russian president Vladimir Putin has condemned the men vowed to find the culprit but the political opposition believes it was his politics played a role in why he died. Is also controversy surrounding the funeral as well. Highlevel officials from poland and latvia who wanted to attend say they were died access. The eu is demanding an explanation. We will talk to our correspondent covering the ceremony and just moment but first we have this report. Mourners looked on as churches servicemen laid Boris Nemtsovs body to rest. Around 600 people attended his Funeral Service at a cemetery outside the capital. Just meters away, Russian Police watched over the crowd. Some opposition figures feel the death will keep people from publicly criticizing the government in the future. There is no limit. For those who want to destroy any other feeling in the country except what comes from the kremlin, there is no limits whatsoever. His death has opened our eyes. It shows we cannot go on accepting this injustice and corruption. We need to fight, we need to organize, lead to change things in russia. Earliers in the day thousands of mourners and dignitaries lined up outside downtown moscow to pay their last respects to stop germanys former Justice Minister was among those who came to show support. He lived according to those principles that people here hold so dear. I share the feelings of many of the people who have spoken today. There is simply no replacing him. He was gunned down on a bridge in the center of moscow on friday night in what appears to have been a contract killing. Many opposition supporters believe the kremlin was behind his murder. Boris nemtsov was a staunch critic of the Vladimir Putin. For many russians, hes become a symbol of resistance to government oppression and intimidation. Our correspondent is standing by at the funeral and joins us live from there. You have been talking to some of the mourners. What have they had to say . The atmosphere at the funeral was ready subdued. Many of those who came bringing flowers to the grave of Boris Nemtsov had tears in their eyes. Many of them have told us that by murdering Boris Nemtsov, one of the most important voices maybe the voice to call for another russia without corruption connie capitalism, without Vladimir Putin have been cited have been silenced forever. Is there a sense that this loss can be made some way by finding the culprits . Is there a sense the case will be sold . Among those who had been at the funeral this day, few believe this will ever be solved. It brought to mind a murder case , you remember the journalist for the independent newspaper who was gunned down in the entrance of her apartment house in the city center of moscow in 2006. The murder was convicted, but those who were behind this contract killing are still running free. It is still unclear who ordered and paid for this murder. Spell was a very important signpost in todays russia. Thank you very much. A man who once stood with Boris Nemtsov in the Opposition Movement has gained world fame as a chess champion but fell out of favor with the kremlin with his outspoken criticism. He now lives in selfimposed exile in the United States. We asked him what he thinks about whether russian authorities had a hand in Boris Nemtsovs murder. I would not be giving specific names but from analyzing everything from this murder, i feel there is no other option. In order to eliminate the order to eliminate boris has been given by the kremlin. Given the place where it happened its probably the most guarded place in moscow and it is quite amazing professional killers selected a place to commit the crime where there are chances were chances to escape there is a Security Apparatus that controls every inch of space. Ukraines currency has lost over 50 of its value since the start of the ukrainian conflict. Ukraines central bank has raised the countries base Interest Rate to 30 .

Is really Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has told the u. S. Congress that negotiations underway between iran and the United States would all but guarantee iran would get nuclear weapons. He said the world was avoided at all cost. That these the speech was peng shuai to Standing Ovations as netanyahu depicted iran as a threat to the entire world. Talks on iran plus Nuclear Program outline an agreement. It comes to weeks before a closely fought election in israel. We will get reactions from jerusalem and washington live after this report will stop netanyahu was making headlines before he arrived. That intensified washingtons already tense landscape. Netanyahu wasted no time mincing words. Iran has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted. The latest danger facing our world is the marriage of militant islam with nuclear weapons. To defeat isis and let Iran Get Nuclear Weapons would need to win the battle but lose the war. We cannot let that happen. Netanyahu delivered a clear message to members of the United States congress. He warned negotiations taking place in switzerland would clear the path to an Iranian Nuclear bomb. We have been told that no deal is better than a bad deal. This is a bad deal. It is a very bad deal. We are better off without it. He currently rejected the Current Nuclear deal but his speech offered no alternative to the current proposal. Congressional republicans were especially recep to his forceful speech and invited the israeli Prime Minister despite protests from democrats and president obama. But as a matter of policy, we think it is a mistake for the Prime Minister of any country to come to speak before congress a few weeks before they are about to have an election. Netanyahus speech was not just aimed at the american political elite. Observers say he was attempting to send a message back, head of the israeli election in two weeks time. For reaction to the speech, we are going live now to washington. Welcome to both of you. Netanyahus claimed that iran is a threat to the world went down very well with the republicandominated congress. Could this speech change the dynamics of the Obama Administrations engaging iran and lead to an end to negotiations . I would be stunned if this meant an end of the negotiations. The Obama Administration will continue talks but netanyahus speech will have some repercussions. For example, the republicans are much more energized to oppose a possible deal. That said, president obama doesnt have the power to lift the sanctions on his own. He needs congressional approval. Lets pretend talks succeed and Obama Asks Congress to lift the sanctions and congress is no. This would put president obama in a very awkward situation. A lot at stake lyrically for all sides involved. Tonya kramer joins us live from jerusalem. What has been the reaction where you are . Do israelis think this is mainly about the election coming up in two weeks or National Security . This whole visit to washington has created quite a debate here. Commentators here were saying this was a classical netanyahu speech, the politics of fear versus the need for security, very emotional. There was nothing really new in it and the opposition has not picked up on it. They went on live shortly after the speech and said we had to make sure we reestablish the strained relationships with the Obama Administration. From the likud, there was the response that it is in the vital interest of israel that mr. Netanyahu went to washington to speak there. The question now is what will come out of it and what kind of impact it will have on the ongoing negotiations with iran. What about in washington . Democrats been responding and how will this speech affect bipartisan relations . We have more or less the same picture in washington. The political elite in washington is divided. Several dozen democrats did not attend netanyahus speech. One of them was a congressman from kentucky. He and houston across delivered a response saying we have heard nothing new. Netanyahu was lecturing america its congress and the elected president on how to negotiate. Thats something americans really dont like, for a foreign leader to tell them what is wrong and how american leaders should work. According to a poll, the majority think john boehner should not have invited invited netanyahu. Let me mention that the very end, a point made by senator feinstein what is going to happen if the u. S. Does not agree to a deal with iran, but the rest of the five plus one countries do . We all know that russia is very much in favor of the deal. Britain may be against and the rest will be somewhere in between. This will be a very difficult situation. We will know by the end of march if theres some kind of deal between iran and the u. S. Many thanks. Carrying on from the final point in that interview germany is among the six world powers in talks with iran over its Nuclear Development program. The German Foreign minister told the u. N. Backed congress on disarmament in geneva that the parties have made more progress this year than they have in the past 10 years combined. Right now, talks are focused on limiting, not stopping irans ability to enrich uranium. When we come back, west African Leaders reach out to the International Community for help. After hour one minute break we have iberias president saying significant resources arent needed to help the region recover from the ebola crisis. A look at business and more coming up after the break will stop stay with us. After the break. Stay with us. The dw media center. See it live, find it again, here more of it. Discover it. Video and audio podcasts and language courses in the dw media center. Welcome back. African leaders at an ebola conference in brussels have called for a Marshall Plan to rebuild economies hardest hit by the disease. Liberias president , Ellen Johnson sirleaf , said recovering from the epidemic would require significant resources from the international committee. The conference gathered African Leaders and delegates from around the world. The summit close with a joint declaration at the principal objective was to stop all transmissions of the virus. Our reporter caught up with the former british minister, david miliband. He now heads the International Rescue committee that has been working to combat the ebola epidemic in west africa. Im standing here with the president and ceo of the International RescueCommittee David miliband. Thank you for joining us. The number of new cases in liberia have gone down dramatically. Is this a sign the fight against this epidemic have been one . The clear evidences we are winning the fight. Two things are evident there is room for complacency. Every time theres an undetected case or that comes about without contact from another case, you were theres going to be a new surge. We cannot afford to ignore the stark lessons of the last year which is when communities are left behind, you are asking for trouble. Why is it so hard to eradicate the last remnants of the epidemic . The reason its difficult to eradicate the epidemic is simple to explain. You need to explain everybodys behavior. There are microclimates when it comes to ebola, small parts of west africa where the disease remains rife. In sierra leone, obviously 70 or 80 cases a week, thats much better than the peak in september. I think the complacency one feels in the west is dangerous. This disease is not has not yet gone away and the dangers of pandemic that have been shown by this need to be taken very seriously. What kind of people do you need now . The most important people are local people. This is not going to be saved by the heroic model of a western aid worker to save the day. This is all about every workplace, every education facility, everywhere people gather in west africa to make sure the screening and identification is done properly. Health promotion is a matter for the whole community. What is the lesson that is to theres one very big lesson the traditional model which is the experts from outside come until the people inside what to do that model is broken and we need to turn it upside down. It comes to Health Promotion you need to work with credible Community Leaders and build the system around their insight rather than believing a treatmentwhat model of specialists and westernstyle care can be planted into a society thats not ready for it. There needs to be highquality treatment but if there is not Health Promotion up stream, you cannot treat your way out of an epidemic. Thank you very much.
