Navalni, who has accused Russian government officials of corruption, was attacked by poison and was treated in Germany, but returned to Russia after five months. Let’s find out by connecting to the press.
Arrested upon arrival, right?

Local media reported that Navalni arrived at Sheremetyevo airport in the north of Moscow via Russian airline Poveda flight around 8:10 pm local time.
Navalni, as expected, was arrested by federal enforcement agents at immigration.
After returning home, Navalni vowed to resist on social media, saying, “I am not afraid. I know I am right.”
The Federal Enforcement Administration said “I arrested Navalni on charges of violating his duty of probation several times.”
In December 2014, Navalni was charged with receiving 590 million won in Korean money from the Russian branch of French cosmetics company Yv Rocher, and was sentenced to three years and six months in prison and five years probation.
Having consistently accused Russian government officials of corruption, he suffered from poisoning on the plane in August, fell into a coma, and recovered after receiving treatment in Germany.
The court will decide whether to convert Navalni’s probation into jail on the 29th.

In the UK, the number of people who received the first dose of the vaccine exceeded 3.55 million, which is more than the cumulative number of confirmed cases?

The British government said on the 15th that 3,59,179 people had received the first dose of the vaccine.
The number of people who completed the second vaccination was 447,000261.
As of the 16th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases was 335,361, and the number of vaccinations exceeded the cumulative number of confirmed cases for the first time.
In England, 45% of seniors aged 80 and over have completed the vaccination.
The government is preparing a system for vaccinating 4 to 5 million people per week.
Based on this, the plan is to finish vaccinating 54 million people, equivalent to all adults over the age of 18, by the end of June.
The UK government is hoping to ease the blockade in March as the number of confirmed cases slowed and the number of vaccinations increased.
