For . Go to battle at x. Com today and get 70 off every single thing. Oh, rafael roma at the Georgia State capitol in atlanta. This is cnn this is cnn breaking news hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me this sunday. Im Fredricka Whitfield and weaving again with this Breaking News Polls are now closed in russia following a threeday president ial election. And with no genuine opposition candidates appearing on the ballot, the outcome whats never in doubt, Vladimir Putin is expected to win the vote that will keep his grip on power through 2030 he has already russia longestserving ruler since soviet dictator joseph stalin. Weve got full coverage for you. Cnns Matthew Chance is in moscow. Fred pleitgen in berlin, and also with a cnn contributor and former Moscow Bureau chief Jill Dougherty so matthew, you first, what is the significance of the Election Results that are coming in . Well, i think its pretty significant in the sense that weve had 50 of the vote counted so far, more or less according to the central election commission. And Vladimir Putin has one an astonishing 88 , nearly of the vote, which is extraordinarily high. The highest result that hes had in the five times that hes been elected president and so thats something that significance and undoubtedly thats going to be used by the kremlin as a way of saying that a way of claiming that they have a strong mandate, what putin has a strong mandate . Two, for instance, continue as war in ukraine, russia calls its special military operation, but we also have to bear in mind that this is an election thats been carefully choreographed opposition figures, for example, were not allowed to take part. And so its an incomplete view of the political landscape, if you like, Inside Russia, fredreka. And then matthew amine, despite the lack of opposition, there were acts of defiance. How significant was that . Yeah, i think pretty significant. The level of defiance as it points to that degree of frustration with the lack of Political Choice in the country. I mean, look, youve seen, weve seen over the course of the past three days of Voting Polling Stations being attacked with molotov cocktails, with firebombs. Weve seen individuals go into Polling Centers and poor green dye or blue inke all over the paper. Votes that have been cash trying to ruin those votes that have been cast as well. There have been various other sort of acts of Defiance Soviet today. The Opposition Group associated with Alexey Navalny, the late russian Opposition Leader who died last month in an Arctic Penal Colony called for russians to come out at 12 00. Local time all over the country, across the time zones in a Sort Of Rolling Act of defiance. And come and vote at that point. And i was at a Polling Station at 12 00 at midday in moscow and suddenly about 150 or 200 people suddenly arrive there and went to, went to cast their votes. And so that gives you an indication of just how much sympathy there is for the opposition cause, at least in moscow and other places around the country as well. Take a listen to one of the people we spoke to their about why theyd come at that time why do you come now to cast your vote . Because they come to an end. He wanted to see all these people together and see each other inperson. Fair enough. Thank you very much yes. A bit cryptic. They wanted to see each other in person because its illegal to engage in a unauthorized protest Inside Russia. And so these people wanted to make sure that they didnt protest, but they wanted to for bit these Polling Stations with likeminded people who shared their political views, fredricka okay. Matthew chance. Thank you so much. All right. Fred, lets lets go to you in berlin. So the widow of the late Opposition Leader, Alexey Navalny was among the large crowds of russians who voted remotely there in germany. What did she have to say . Yeah it was so interesting here in berlin, frederick up at because it was very different than what matthew was seeing there on the ground in moscow because of course while showing public dissent in russia, of course, is something thats illegal and get into a lot of trouble. It was very much on display here in berlin with it many people who turned up to vote at the Russian Embassy here in berlin, which course had the Polling Station inside it. They were literally thousands of people who lined up. And what we saw there is there were some people who were actually publicly displaying that they were for Vladimir Putin. They had russian flags on them, but there were also a lot of people what parents we had followed that call from the opposition that midday against putin to show up at the Russian Embassy here in berlin. Some of them with posters against Vladimir Putin, posters against the war in ukraine. There was even one woman with a blue coat with yellow writing that said stand with ukraine, who was russian and went into the embassy to vote there. But of course, no one more prominent than you will. Navalnaya, the widow of Alexey Navalnys. She came there, she thanked the people for the support. She waited six hours in line to be able to get inside the embassy and inside the Polling Station. She then also said that when she did get to vote, that she just wrote the name navalny on the ballot because she obviously feels that her late husband, Alexey Navalny, was the main opponent of Vladimir Putin and obviously died in prison before the election took place. She got quite aggravated actually, when she was asked if she had a message for Vladimir Putin. This is which she had to say so how blindly its not one wants the Stopa Xy Me Is Babri represents a companion navalnaya, also called Vladimir Putin, a gangster and a killer. When she was asked and then walked off so you could see a lot of people here in berlin today voicing there im just sent there was also a pretty big demonstration that also happened were a lot of people called for support for ukraine as its trying to fend off russia in the war. That is going on there. And then also called on western governments to not legitimize Vladimir Putin fredreka. All right, fred pleitgen. Thanks so much. Jill dougherty with us now, you were a cnn Moscow Bureau chief for very long time. You know, russia well. So what did you make at those acts of protest Inside Russia that we saw during the elections . Theyre a little unclear. I have to say to me exactly who was doing that or maybe why they were doing that. Obviously it was taking a very big chance and they probably will be punished for that now a question that i do think that the people who showed up for the navalny events at noon, those who are very interesting because you know, if you did it in russia theres almost no question that one way or another. Youre going to be identified and that could have an effect on you although they didnt do anything wrong. This was the interesting part about this fred i mean, they came to vote and unless theyve destroyed their ballot or something, what they did was legal okay. It looks like weve lost that shot with Jill Dougherty, but thanks to everybody, jail. Matthew and fred. Appreciate it. All right. Straight ahead.

Patricks day, deadly gun violence hit several cities across the us overnight, seven people were shot in downtown washington, dc to people died. This happened not long long after a Shooting Spree that caused an entire Pennsylvania Community to shelter in place for hours. The suspect now facing Murder Charges cnns Polo Sandoval is joining us right now. So polo youre reporting on the pennsylvania shootings, which also end up going across state lines into new jersey. So a standoff there. What are you learning today yeah, fred, just this time yesterday, were bringing you these pictures of an army of Law Enforcement swarming around a home in trenton, new jersey. They were essentially waiting out the cis fact in a string of killings that took place in neighboring pennsylvania. Ive come to find out hours later that house was empty. The suspect identified as 26 yearold andre gordon was in fact, encountered by a Police Officer at about 05 00 p. M. Yesterday not far from that home, officer positively identified him, his gordon arrest, and without any further incident the dance so theres that you facing those Murder Charges in pennsylvania. But then were also today learning more about the charges cities facing in new jersey. They really paints a clearer picture of this series of violent acts that allegedly took place this today, according to the new Jersey Attorney Generals Office he is now facing charges of possession of a firearm without a serial number, receiving stolen property, possession of a large capacity ammunition magazines, and also possession of hollow point ammunition. So these charges as laid out by the new jersey a g. Now telling us a little bit more about the potential firepower that this 26 yearold man allegedly had at his disposal. Now, poor to point out yesterday when i spoke to trenton, may are outside of this home. He told me that they had been able to locate the weapon believed to have been used in those killings. This is all part of that ongoing investigation. New jersey Attorney General also adding in a statement saying that yesterdays incident is the latest quote, horrific the latest in a horrific litany of illustrations of how illegal guns and Assault Rifles can empower one disturbed actor to carry out these kinds of acts. Reminder that among the three people that jordan is alleged to have killed his 13 yearold sister, the ags office, also adding that at this point, it is currently unknown as to whether or not they actually have legal representation. Patient at this time, im of course talking about gordon okay. And then polo tell us about the circumstances of the shooting taking place in the Nations Capital that happened just this morning. Details are slim coming from dc metro, what they have said, however, its its seven people were hurt and the gunfire that was about 12 blocks away from the white house there in downtown washington.
