mystery is being held under armed guard in moscow. i'm talking about the female companion of vladimir putin critic boris nemtsov. the 23-year-old model was walking home with nemtsov more than 30 years her senior after dinner this weekend when shots rang out as they crossed a bridge just yards from the kremlin. nemtsov died moments later. the model reportedly called a friend and a political colleague of nemtsov's and said several men pulled up in a car and one of them opened fire. russian police are looking for a male suspect, someone they describe with short hair wearing blue jeans and a brown sweater. authorities said the shooter likely used a russian-made pistol. nemtsov was murdered less than two days before he was set to lead this rally, a rally protesting a number of putin's policies. whatever the investigation turns up, mourners who supported boris nemtsov have made up their minds and tens of thousands remember him in this rally that we saw play out in the streets of moscow today. some carried banners that branded putin, quote, the shame of russia. our matthew chance wa

now our senior correspondent matthew chance in moscow to talk about this a bit more. we're wondering why did the russian foreign minister laugh rohr leave if we see him shuttling back on tuesday, how encouraging would that be? >> reporter: you're right. it was a little concerning that one of the main negotiators in this long-running process to negotiate a deal over iran's controversial nuclear problem left the discussions at such a crucial phase. sergei laugh rohr has been playing it down. his -- lavrov has been playing it down, saying it was merely a question of his work schedule. we're hearing he could be returning later today if there's a positive sign. that's what the foreign ministry says, if there are positive developments in switzerland, sergei lavrov will go back in the next hour. the russian foreign minister expected to give a news conference. he's been meeting with the foreign minister of vanuatu, the island state recently hit by that tropical cyclone. and it's during that news conference, as i say, in the next hour that we're expected to hear whether or not he wi

and that are from a region known from unrest and rebellion against moscow. our matthew chance has more. >> reporter: for more than a week after the killing of boris nemtsov, russian investigators say they've made a breakthrough. the head of the russian federal security service appearing on national television to announce that two people have been detained in connection with the shooting which took place right here on this bridge in the center of moscow a short distance from the kremlin. two men have been named. police say they're from the volatile north caucuses region of southern russia. vladimir putin has denied any involvement in the murder of boris nemtsov. a prominent opposition politician here in russia. he's vowd to bring those responsible to justice. but critics accuse the kremlin of responsibility for the killing if not directly ordering it then of creating an atmosphere in russia in which those who oppose the government are seen as enemies of the state. matthew chance cnn, moscow. >> let's bring in our panel to discuss this what happened in the shadow of the kremlin, former c

might il might be a bett option. ivan watson is live in moscow. hugh is this playing out where you are on the street? does people this it's at all possible a crime, a random crime or do they think the kremlin is involved here? >> reporter: well, i think some people are quick to blame the kremlin or at least the atmosphere of intolerance that the media has created saying that might have contributed to the brazen assassination. on sunday there was a march in honor of boris nemtsov that went through central moscow and there were perhaps tens of thousands of people who marched in memory of this man. but that is -- when you think about it in a city of so many millions, it's a relatively small number. in fact i've seen somebody compare tight the outpouring of more than a million people estimated in paris after the attacks on "carley hebdo." compared to that, the number of people who came out in favor of boris nemtsov was relatively small. and perhaps it underscores the fact that he was, despite his international prominence, within russia he was a marginal political figurer. basically a regio

anniversary celebrations in moscow and it seems that north korea has accepted russia's invitation though there's still no official announcement from announcement about the trip. we hear about this trip. how do we interpret this? >> reporter: vladimir putin you have to remember has been isolated by the west in many ways. he's facing international sanctions from the united states from the european union as well. he's been forced to look elsewhere for friendship and for alliances. he has a growing strategic partnership with china. countries in south america as well. now it seems he could be standing shoulder to shoulder with kim jong-un. the first visit by theeerk by the north korean leader. it comes at a time when both countries are looking to deepen their ties. facing a backlash from the west russia is looking east. president vladimir putin inviting north korean leader kim jong-un to moscow to attend upcoming world war ii anniversary celebrations. north korea's supreme leader is expected to attend but so far no formal confirmation from pyongyang. >> you've seen the russians talking about

: now the big question here is will kim jong-un accept putin's invitation to go to moscow in may for a big celebration of the end of world war ii? the russians say the north korean leadership has accepted but it's not clear if kim himself is going to go. analysts say kim may be reluctant because he has never been outside north korea as its leader. there's the possibility of a coup against him. >> fascinating if he does show up. thanks brian. >>> a troubling new warning that russian missiles are now a direct threat to the united states of america. tensions are putin's russia as bad as during the cold war. >>> police give an update on the manhunt who for whoever shot two police officers in ferguson. they think they know where they came from but they do not know who fired them.

it will be a scandal not only in moscow city but also the world. >> now as this moscow murder mystery deepens, we have brand new surveillance video of his killing. now the model girlfriend of this russian opposition leader fears she's next. we'll be right back. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. most of the products we all buy are transported on container ships. before a truck delivers it to your store, a container ship delivered it to that truck. here in san diego, we're building the first one ever to run on natural gas. ships this big running this clean will be much better for the environment. we're proud to be a part of that. >>> welcome back to "the lead." in world news tens of thousands of people are marching to mourn and protest the murder of one of president

investigation from moscow so fred is this model friend being pro texted is she cooperating with investigators giving everything that she knows? >> certainly the russians are saying she's being protected but she's not in the official witness protection program. so she is in a safe location she's in an apartment that belongs to one of nemtsov's friends. there are russian security officials there, and one of the things that that lead investigator has said that they believe at this point, there is still so much information that they hope to get from her. she's of course a ukrainian citizen who would probably travel back to ukraine if she got the chance to if she were released to do that. however they do want to keep her there a little bit longer as a witness, not as a suspect or anything. they want to get more information from her. what they're saying at this point she is the most important witness they have. she was able to give information, she was right next to boris nemtsov when this happened and she made the initial call to the police. now the other thing that the police have d

whipping across moscow. would he just not be seen so many days because of the flu and because of a cold, or could there be something else here? >> reporter:, you know, victor, i think as i read and i talk to people, excuse me, i think the most likely think he simply is sick. there is a flu in moscow right now. but one of the problems here is that the kremlin is not used to explaining a lot. so when he disappears and he has been out of the public live, at least live on tv for almost like nine or ten days, they -- all they can do is say, no, he is healthy. how do you parse that? i mean, yes, healthy, may be down with the flu. this, in turn, is fueling this enormous output. i mean, just go on to twitter or any social media and you will find all of this, everything from, you know, theories or rumors about a ku day ta has his security forces have taken over to maybe his alleged girlfriend in europe is giving birth to a baby. it's really kind of crazy but that is what happens when there is really no structural way that they can give some objective information about what is happening. >>

syria issue when he was first secretary of state, flying off to moscow promising to put new pressure on assad, saying he was illegitimate and thinking that he would negotiate some grand bargain with the russians and get this problem solved. and the truth is that syria has gone from bad to worse in the last year or two. we've now gone over 200,000 dead. and as your correspondent was indicating earlier, america seems more worried about the islamic state and what it could do or not do under a syrian leadership of assad than they are about getting rid of assad. i think the syrian issue, the administration is flailing around a little bit. and i think the confusion over the last 24 hours is demonstrative of that. >> jay my ruben, the former secretary of state. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> still ahead, one day to go for israelis head to the polls and the prime benjamin netanyahu has lots of reason to worry. we're going live to jerusalem for a look at what's at state stake >>> the rush hand president finally appearing in public today. but his absence in the last ten days still not

worry if she was kept in moscow and now since she left moscow i guess ukrainian security will find ways to protect her if these threats are real. >> who do you think is behind nemtsov's death? >> there are only two choices. either putin himself gave an order or his closest allies his inner circle. because this murder took place at one of the bridges that led to kremlin. those places are the most protected places in russia maybe in the world. there are more video cameras there than fort knox. to imagine that these cameras couldn't catch this event is inconceivable. so it's quite suspicious that the only camera that is being used to present this video is the camera of the moscow city channel. also there was one more video from the video register on the car passing by and those videos proved that it was a well-prepared murder and i don't believe that anybody but kremlin security could operate in this area. >> is there a reason to do it specifically on the street right near the kremlin? it seems an area that a, would point to the obvious at least acquiescence by the russian government
