border. the head of the wagner group vows to topple russia's military leadership, hours after the kremlin accused him of "armed rebellion". junior doctors will hold their longest strike yet next month — there'll be five days of continuous action. investigations into what caused the submersible titan to implode, killing all five people on board, are ongoing. england bat their way back into the women's ashes: a first test century from tammy beaumont gives england hope they can chase down australia's huge first innings score at trent bridge. and in weather, a very warm and humid data, right across the country with more sunshine developing later. i'll have your full weekend forecast coming up here on breakfast.

it's saturday 2a june. our main story: the kremlin has ordered the arrest of the leader of its mercenary group, wagner, which has been assisting the country in its war against ukraine. yevgeny prigozhin has been accused of mutiny by russia — it's after he called for a rebellion against russia's army. it follows accusations of a deadly attack on wagner forces. the fighters have left ukraine and entered russia, where security has been stepped up. vincent mcavinney reports. operation fortress activating in moscow. in the middle of the night, military vehicles protecting kremlin buildings. the full details of the plan are state secrets but a sign that putin is clearly worried because of this man. yevgeny prigozhin is the leader of the bagnaia group. —— wagoner group. ——

prigozhin has been a close ally of putin's for years, accused of meddling in the 2016 us election and expanding russian influence in africa. since last year his has recruited dozens of convicts across russia to fight in ukraine but in recent weeks he has been a vocal critic of those running the war in moscow, culminating in friday's striking outburst and accusations his forces have been shelled by russia's generals. his forces have been shelled by russia's uenerals. �* ,, �* russia's generals. translation: the defence minister _ russia's generals. translation: the defence minister came _ russia's generals. translation: the defence minister came to _ russia's generals. translation: the defence minister came to rostov - russia's generals. translation: the defence minister came to rostov on i defence minister came to rostov on purpose to conduct an operation to destroy dpmc wagner. he used the artillery and the helicopter pilots blindly to destroy us. this is near —— not a military coup, blindly to destroy us. this is near —— nota military coup, it blindly to destroy us. this is near —— not a military coup, it is a march fourjustice. in -- not a military coup, it is a march fourjustice. in response, russian state _ march fourjustice. in response, russian state tv _ march fourjustice. in response, russian state tv interrupts - march fourjustice. in response, russian state tv interrupts its l russian state tv interrupts its normal programming to broadcast an emergency news bulletin. the host announcing that the sf d, russia's

going to be an isolated incident. it is unclear yet what exactly is taking place in russia the next few hours could see putin's ripon power fracturing away are not seen since he first assumed office 23 years ago. junior doctors in england will go on strike next month for five consecutive days — making it the longest single period of industrial action in nhs history. it's after the british medical association union, which represents doctors, said an offer of a 5% pay rise was "not credible" — but ministers say the offer is "fair and reasonable", as marta newman reports. thousands of appointments will be cancelled again next month asjunior doc is asset to strike once more. the fourth time since this pay dispute began stopped and the dispute began stopped and the dispute remains the same— the british medical association union which represents more than 116,000 junior doctors in the uk they are

government offer of a 5% rise was not credible and that pay has not kept up with inflation. ministers, on the other hand, say the pay offer is fair and reasonable but it is patients who are suffering. we have already seen — patients who are suffering. we have already seen around _ patients who are suffering. we have already seen around 650,000 - already seen around 650,000 procedures postponed thanks to strike action in the last seven months or so. over 100,000 of those during the lastjunior doctor strike during the last junior doctor strike and during the lastjunior doctor strike and that is incredibly disruptive for individual patients who may be waiting in pain or anxiously waiting to be seen. there are thousands more patients whose treatment is postponed as a knock—on impact of that week of strike action as well so we simply can't allow this to become business as usual. it is dreadful for patients, become business as usual. it is dreadfulfor patients, damaging become business as usual. it is dreadful for patients, damaging for staff morale and it is increasingly expensive for the nhs.— expensive for the nhs. junior doctors make _ expensive for the nhs. junior doctors make up _ expensive for the nhs. junior doctors make up around - expensive for the nhs. junior doctors make up around half| expensive for the nhs. junior i doctors make up around half of expensive for the nhs. junior - doctors make up around half of all hospital doctors in england and a quarter of all doctors working in gp

surgeries. they will walk out from 7am on thursday the 13th ofjuly through to tuesday the 18th ofjuly. in what is thought to be the longest single period of industrial action in the history of the health service. hospital consultants in england could also go on strike on the 20th and 21st ofjuly if medics vote for action. the result of that ballot is due early next week. downing street say the strike action is concerning, describing the walkouts as hugely disappointing, saying in a statement, " the government has been clear that strikes must be pause while strikes take place and we remain ready to continue talking at any point if strikes are called off."— meanwhile, the rolling nurses on strike in england may soon come to an end. the royal college of nursing has raised doubts over whether the 50% voting threshold to fig —— to trigger

further action will be reached. the police watchdog has said that hand—held metal detectors could be introduced by forces across the country after a man was found guilty of murdering a custody sergeant with a gun he'd hidden. louis de zoysa shot sergeant matt ratana using an antique revolver that he'd smuggled into a holding cell at a croydon police station in september 2020. he will be sentenced next month. investigations in the us and canada are being launched to determine what caused the submersible, titan, to implode as it descended to the wreck of the titanic — killing all five people on board. the sub's mother ship, polar prince, is due back in stjohn�*s in canada in the next few hours, asjessica parker reports. nearly one week ago the special began its journey down towards the most famous shipwreck in the world. the contact was lost. with officials later finding that the titan submersible was likely crushed in

the catastrophic implosion. on—board was the head of the expedition firm stockton rush, british pakistani businessman and his teenage son suleman, and the french adventurer. his family described him as one of the greatest deep sea explorers in modern history. the the greatest deep sea explorers in modern history.— the greatest deep sea explorers in modern history. the whole week has been so difficult _ modern history. the whole week has been so difficult because _ modern history. the whole week has been so difficult because i _ modern history. the whole week has been so difficult because i think - modern history. the whole week has been so difficult because i think we i been so difficult because i think we have been very hopeful that the best possible outcome could happen. of course i think we wreck most it would be a true miracle but miracles can happen. on thursday morning when we got the news of the debris i think our hearts were broken, frankly. think our hearts were broken, frankl . , ,, ~ think our hearts were broken, frankl . , ~ think our hearts were broken, frankl. , ~ ., frankly. this past week saw a huge international _ frankly. this past week saw a huge international search _ frankly. this past week saw a huge international search for _ frankly. this past week saw a huge international search for the - frankly. this past week saw a huge | international search for the missing titan submersible. it ended with the discovery of debris on the seafloor not far from the titanic wreck. now attention is turning to questions about what happened, why and how to

happened is also said to be launched in the us. the search for the titan is over stop now the search for answers. jessica parker, bbc news, in boston. jessica parker, bbc news, in boston. our correspondent danjohnson joins us now from boston, where the rescue effort was being co—ordinated. morning dan, what can you tell us? questions are being asked and they will be answered by at least two separate investigations getting under way. separate investigations getting underway. one separate investigations getting under way. one headed here by the us coastguard but there is also one being started by canadian transport safety officials. that is because the polar prince, the ship that took the polar prince, the ship that took the titan out to the wreckage of the titanic is a canadian flagship and the expedition set off from st john�*s and newfoundland. indeed that mothership is due back there later this morning. and some of the ships that have been part of the rescue effort are already arriving back there off the coast of canada so a lot of activities still related to

this search and the operation to try to build a bigger picture of exactly what went wrong here. what the timeline was and what the problem was that led to the loss of the titan and that debate raging among the deep sea diving exploration community about the safety of this vessel, about its design, the sort of way that it was manufactured and the way that these trips to the seabed were actually being operated for feepaying seabed were actually being operated forfeepaying passengers. there is a debate about whether that sort of extreme exhibition is appropriate and how it can be done safely in future. some have been defending stockton rush and his safety record but there is also a lot of criticism from within that community and it is notjust hindsight, people producing evidence that they have been warning perhaps for years that this sort of thing was not being done safety and the proper standards were not in place and that there was a risk of something going catastrophically wrong and sadly that is what we have seen and that is why there are now at least two investigations under

foo fighters frontman dave grohl�*s transport methods of choice. instead, he took the train. here he is meeting rail worker brendan cropper onboard the 11pm from london paddington. dave and his entourage then caught minibuses to take them to glastonbury for their set on the pyramid stage. which was brilliant, i thought. it was absolutely brilliant. it went down a treat. matt has the weather which so many people will be keeping an eye on in glastonbury. i which so many people will be keeping an eye on in glastonbury.— an eye on in glastonbury. i don't think ou an eye on in glastonbury. i don't think you have _ an eye on in glastonbury. i don't think you have much _ an eye on in glastonbury. i don't think you have much to - an eye on in glastonbury. i don't think you have much to worry . an eye on in glastonbury. i don't i think you have much to worry about in glastonbury this weekend. i think the main thing will be the strength of the sunshine and the humidity. it will be a warm weekend for many. a few changes but after a hot day, we could see thundery downpours developed across parts of the uk during tomorrow. what is happening? at the moment high pressure across the western half of europe. low pressure in the atlantic trying to push its way in and with that you start to draw in the air of the

south and it is pretty humid air coming up across these parts which will bring thunderstorms during tomorrow and it has meant overnight temperatures have not dropped below the mid—if not high—teens and this is what it is like there at the moment stop the sun is up and will warm up very quickly. lots of low cloud around and patchy rain and drizzle for some in the west and some mist and sea fog towards the english channel. western wales and some of it will be a struggle to shift. a few isolated showers with scotland, northern england, maybe the east midlands and increasing amounts of sunshine later and temperatures widely mid to high 20s could hit across the southeast corner of england and that is compared to averages of 17—21 this time of yearand compared to averages of 17—21 this time of year and that heat old in the atmosphere into the start of tonight and by the time, some of you will be contemplating heading to bed, we will slowly see temperatures quite widely in the 20s so another uncomfortable night out there tonight. still that southerly wind

drawing in the humid air head of these approaching storms which will be edging towards northern ireland as we head to the start of sunday and will continue to march its way eastwards. it does look like after a sunny start elsewhere, many southern parts of england and wales. —— stay dry and the chance of a shower is only slim but the band of heavy, thundery rain across the —— across most other areas, and a big change in temperature. 17 or 18 in northern ireland and post where we should be at this stage injune and could sit hit 3132 in the southeast corner. the cold front will work its way out through sunday night and into monday opening the door to atlantic air for the rest of next week. it won't be cold by any means but they will be a bit more change. monday back to sunshine with very little rain if any at all across southern areas and further north we will see a scattering of showers and may be some longer spells of rain into northern ireland later in the day. temperatures a good deal more

comfortable if it is too hot and humid for you this weekend, around 18 to 23 degrees and more comfortable temperatures will continue for most during this week with rain at times especially in the north and west. very little rain closer high pressure in the south and still warmer days possible. you can see on wednesday in london temperatures up to 26 degrees. thanks so much. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mirror leads on next month's junior doctors strike. it reports comments from the co—chair of the british medical association who's urging the government to make a "credible" pay offer. the times has the headline "pay blow for millions of public sector workers" as it says the government is prepared to block a 6% pay rise. the guardian leads with a warning of a "tsunami" of dangerous vapes coming into the uk. a senior official at

trading standards has told the paper she receives calls from border force staff about non—compliant vapes on a daily basis. let's ta ke let's take a look at the inside pages now. you are a fan of a siesta. you have said this before on this shift, you embrace the siesta. is there a difference in your mind between a nap and a siesta? i don't know the difference. _ between a nap and a siesta? i don't know the difference. a _ between a nap and a siesta? i don't know the difference. a nap - between a nap and a siesta? i don't know the difference. a nap on the l know the difference. a nap on the 'ob. it is know the difference. a nap on the job- it is being — know the difference. a nap on the job. it is being recommended. - know the difference. a nap on the job. it is being recommended. i. job. it is being recommended. i think that depends on the line of work, doesn't it? i am thinking of quite a fewjobs where i don't want to see someone asleep. i quite a fewjobs where i don't want to see someone asleep.— quite a fewjobs where i don't want to see someone asleep. i don't think it means right _ to see someone asleep. i don't think it means right now. _ to see someone asleep. i don't think it means right now. no, _ to see someone asleep. i don't think it means right now. no, i _ to see someone asleep. i don't think it means right now. no, i was - it means right now. no, i was thinking about a bus driver, there are manyjobs where... if you are not doing something where you are in charge of people, because apparently margaret thatcher uses take them in the back of her car, winston churchill was a of this. a few things that have popped up here. ——

was a master of this. 20 minutes is the ideal time, there is a call for businesses to provide areas for a napping area which is great if everyone keeps a clean and tidy, and doesn't make it smell. also, a 20 minute nap, take it before 3pm so then you don't avoid any problems sleeping at night. this i don't get, one way to boost the impact of a nap is to drink coffee first. because, i will explain it to you— and nap can reduce levels of adenosine in the brain. caffeine subsequently kicks in and blocks those receptors, preventing sleepiness, which then boosts activity. so you have a coffee before you go to a nap. i think i have had this logic before, which is so you are on a long car journey and driving. the best thing to do is go in, have a cup of coffee and then have a nap. because 20

minutes later, the caffeine is kicking in. minutes later, the caffeine is kicking in-_ minutes later, the caffeine is kicking in._ i- minutes later, the caffeine is kicking in._ i thinkl minutes later, the caffeine is . kicking in._ i think that kicking in. oh, i see! ithink that is the logic- _ kicking in. oh, i see! ithink that is the logic. so _ kicking in. oh, i see! ithink that is the logic. so you _ kicking in. oh, i see! ithink that is the logic. so you have - kicking in. oh, i see! ithink that is the logic. so you have a - kicking in. oh, i see! ithink that. is the logic. so you have a window when you feel sleepy, and then the coffee kicks in and away you go. it seems like a military operation really, for a nap, just nap. coming up really, for a nap, just nap. coming up to 6:20am. now it's time for click. our oceans and the marine life they support are under threat. climate change is causing them to warm at record levels and as the seas absorb more co2, they also become more acidic. and that as well as other man—made damage like trawling for fish can

have a devastating impact on important habitats like reefs, but can technology offer a solution? well, adrian murray has been finding out about some conservation efforts to help bring back marine life. just off the island of samso, plans are under way to build an artificial reef, and i'm about to join a group of researchers out on the water. ready to go out? so we're now approaching the future reef site out here. the rocky reefs in denmark's cold waters are home to fish, seaweeds and other species. however, an area equivalent to almost 8,000 football pitches has disappeared. a lot of rocks have been removed from the seabed over the 20th century, mainly for the construction of harbours. without this essential habitat, basically a whole ecosystem's been lost

and without active human intervention, we don't expect these habitats to restore. the team are installing cameras at hundreds of different spots on the seabed along this stretch of coast. we're heading out to one of the locations where there's an underwater camera and over the next several weeks, the researchers are going to be gathering thousands of minutes of underwater footage which they're going to analyse to see how much biodiversity is out there. this handy qr code programs the cameras to record for two minutes each hour. sets the camera to the right resolution, the right frame rate, and also it sets down the camera for the other 58 minutes in the hour and this allows us to record throughout the day. in reality, they don't expect to find very much but as the new reef is built with thousands of boulders, they'll monitor again and hope to show

marine life is bouncing back. the idea here is to tackle two issues in one go — both marine conservation and protecting the shoreline from erosion. a growing problem in the face of climate change. so computer modelling is working out the reefs best position and height by simulating waves, currents and how it affects the flow of sand. what we see at the moment and what many communities are also worried about is that with climate change, we will see an increase in the frequency of storms in the future, as well as rising sea levels and we need to prepare for this, especially in low—lying countries. there's now a wider push to replace the 55 square kilometres of denmark's lost reefs. a lot of what used to be natural habitats out here is missing and so that's why there's now this new dawn of restoration and reefs are just one of the most important

things to restore. elsewhere, new marine habitats are being created with 3d printing, and by using specially moulded concrete in bigger infrastructure. at this danish wind farm, stone and 3d printed reefs have been placed on the sea floor. the advantage to this is you can take all of the best qualities of a natural reef and you can exaggerate them, completely. algae, other organisms, need a hard substrate, a hard surface to attach themselves to so you can maximise surface, you can 3d print the structures so that they have passageways and hollows. i mean, literally moments after they were placed on the sea floor, the video shows that marine life just moved in. and if all that goes

to plan, it's hoped to give coral reefs and the marine life they support a better chance of survival. now, as technology to tackle the climate crisis evolves, it's attracting a lot of attention — including that of former formula 1 champion nico rosberg. now a green tech investor, he's founded the greentech festival in berlin, where alisdair keane caught up with him. just describe to us the festival and where we are. greentech festival is europe's biggest sustainability event now, and it's actually a global series — we're in berlin, we've done london, we're doing la, singapore, and it's all about leading innovation and bringing it all together here, and the people behind that also, so we have politicians, we have scientists, we have start—ups, ngos, business, ceos, everybody�*s coming together here to form partnerships, deals, and also to inspire. we want to reach many, many people to inspire people also on this movement.

what's your motivation for putting this on? my motivation was that i want to contribute with what i'm doing as an entrepreneur, and i saw a space here where it was lacking, this sustainability event in europe, so i said hey, let's do it, it's a big opportunity. was there a moment for you when the climate crisis came into vision and you decided to focus on that? it's not one moment, it's a process. and also i'm coming from the angle that i love this tech innovation, that's what fascinates me, and the opportunity that there is now for innovation to have this positive impact, you know, that's a lovely combination. so that's my angle that i'm coming from and it starts with mobility. we can make mobility a lot more efficient, a lot more sustainable and beyond there, there's food innovation, there's property innovation, so much is happening — also artificial intelligence now. it's going to be huge for sustainability because it's going to make everything so much more efficient.

you made your money and your name in f1. that's a sport with a huge carbon footprint, travelling the world, petrol engines — is it a bit of guilt in you deciding to focus on the climate crisis? no, not at all, i'm really proud of my sporting success, it was a wonderfuljourney, i achieved my dream and now in my second life this is the new path that i'm taking which is very fulfilling, you know, i'm very happy to be on this path of contributing and it's not as a result of some guilt or something. would you say now having spent so much time in green tech you're confident about the direction towards tackling the climate crisis, or do you still have worries? well, none of us can be confident. i can see a lot of reason to be optimistic, yes, when i see the spirit here at our event and even the amount of attention we have from the government here for our event and how they're contributing, attending, that is also very reassuring. now we all know how bad cars are for the environment, and that doesn'tjust mean

when they are being driven. even if you go electric, that doesn't completely solve the problem. all cars have an environmental impact when they're being made, and when they no longer work, they're scrapped — but maybe they don't need to be, as paul carter has been finding out. now, we're all familiar with production lines in factories, but here is something a little bit different. this is a de—production line, and it can dismantle entire cars from scratch down to its component parts injust over one hour. and i'm here to follow one car on its end—of—life journey. here at the uk's most advanced reverse production line

facility, 120 cars are received daily to be deconstructed, packed and purchased online within hours. it's an engine in a dishwasher! of course it is. that eventually goes into a box and goes to the warehouses and they're resold, either on the internet or through our front counters, the re—manufactured parts go back to the re—manufacturers. the non—ferrous materials gets recycled, so we basically recycle a car to a greater than 95% of its body weight. as consumer interest in sustainability grows, there's likely to be increasing demand for reused parts like this one, rather than purely recycled ones. and as you can see from the scale of this facility,

there's already quite a lot of it. but one barrier people face is being sure of the quality of reused parts. as ebay is one of the largest online automotive marketplaces, it has partnered up with industry bodies to develop the vehicle recycler�*s association certification to help consumers buy in confidence. the big thing is it's completely independent of the industry, so it's an outside body looking at it. and what it is is a verification that you operate to a certain standard. last month, ebay relaunched their certified portal, featuring certified recyclers like charles trent to make it easy for people to find same quality parts as the ones their cars were sold with. there are 2,500 what we call auto—treatment facilities in the uk, not all of those are specialising in actually removing the parts from the vehicle, manyjust scrap the cars and sell it for metal value.

charles trent are really super focused on removing as many parts as they can from every single car. they see a big volume coming through, and then for customers who can't necessarily afford to buy brand—new parts to keep their cars on the road, but they really need to be able to get their kids to school, these types of parts allow them an opportunity to keep their cars running. as consumer attitudes towards the secondhand market are changing, so is the industry. and instead of being the sort of place where cars come to die, facilities like this one are giving them a new lease of life. and that's it for the short version of the programme, the full version can be found on iplayer.— of the programme, the full version can be found on iplayer. thanks for watchin: , can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching. we'll _ can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching, we'll see _ can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching, we'll see you _ can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching, we'll see you soon. - can be found on iplayer. thanks for

should be enthralling with the match finely poised. trent bridge has proved to be a batter�*s paradise so far as england finished the second day, on 218 for 2, some 255 runs behind the aussies, after their history making first innings. our reporterjo currie, rounds up the day. leading the fight back. tammy beaumont with what could be a pivotal hundred becoming only the fourth of england player to score a century in all three formats of the game. but australia have a star of their own and the day has started from annabel sutherland �*s frustrating england's bowlers cruising to the century. the first—ever test hundred for australia. it took until after lunch for australia to finally see off the visitors. sophie ecclestone putting an end to this innings not before the visitors posted a giant total of 473 stop the highest women's test score in the last 20 years. sutherland 137 not out. what could england do in response? show some much—needed grit is the answer.

captain heather knight claimed a half—century but it was tammy beaumont who really shone, bringing about the loudest chair of the day, she made her hundred just before the pros. day three will begin with a match well—balanced and with beaumont at the helm, england has managed to chip away at the huge australia score stop now theyjust need to keep it going. jo currie, bbc news, trent bridge. scotland's cricketers have won two out matches of two, in their men's world cup qualification group, beating the uae by, 100, and 11 runs in zimbabwe, yesterday. captain richie berrington's century was the foundation for their innings, of 282 for eight — the second scotland centurion, in as many matches. the uae were never really in the chase. scotland arejoint top of their group looking good for a place in the final stage of qualifying. ireland's leona maguire, has a one shot lead, heading into the third round of the women's pga championship in newjersey.

maguire followed up, her good form on thursday with five birdies in a three under par round of 68. england's mel reid is one of three players, a shot further back on four under par overall, but maguire is the one to catch. weather was a little bit trickier today on the back nine when the rain came in. i think we werejust today on the back nine when the rain came in. i think we were just glad we got finished. i think we have been pretty blessed with the weather the last years but played really well and gave myself a lot of chances, didn't really get any on the front side but nice to get those three birdies coming in. wimbledon is just over a week away, with players getting game time on grass, but not british number one cameron norrie at queens anymore because he's been knocked out in the quarter—finals. he was beaten by america's seb korda. norrie was a queens finalist two years ago but he was below par, in this match, losing the first set 6—4, and the second 7—6 in a tie—break. korda will face the top seed carlos alcaraz, in the last four later today.

it was the same story for britain's harriet dart, at the birmingham classic, as she beaten by russian fourth seed anastasia potapova in the quarter—finals. dart was the last brit still in the draw at the wimbledon warm—up event but after being a break up in the second set, the british number four fell away against the world number 21. onto the latest summer football transfer news and wolves have sold captain ruben neves, to saudi arabian side, al—hilal, for a club record 47 million pounds. nevesjoins a growing list of players moving to saudi arabia's pro league. the portuguese midfielder, had been at wolves for six seasons, helping them get promoted to the premier league in his first year. brendan rodgers, says he understands why some celtic fans, were angry with him leaving the club for leicester four years ago but wants to change their opinion by bringing more success to celtic park. rodgers has agreed a three year deal to replace ange postecoglou

and will return to the dug out for next season but he doesn't think that in hindsight that moving to the premier league was the wrong decision. it is natural that when i left it was a sad moment and i certainly don't regret it but what i do regret is the hurt that it caused people and it is the very reason i am here today as a celtic supporter i understood what it meant and probably even more so when i left. it is final royal ascot and frankie is bowing out with a flourish after winning the gold cup on thursday. dettori has once again shown he's still at the top of his game — winning two more races yesterday. he's now 52 and is set to retire at the end of the year, but has now made it an incredible, 81 royal ascot winners. this victory aboard coppice added to one from the first race of the day aboard porta fortuna — as well as that win in the gold cup. he doesn't need to retire, does he?

our headlines today: accusations of mutiny as infighting between the leaders of russia's army and its private mercenary force escalates on the russia—ukraine border. the head of the wagner group vows to topple russia's military leadership, hours after the kremlin accused him of "armed rebellion". junior doctors will hold their longest strike yet — next month will see five days of continuous action. falmouth in cornwall prepares to welcome thousands of visitors for armed forces day. and we're with glastonbury first timer rick astley as he prepares to play the pyramid stage later today. england bat their way back into the women's ashes: a first test century from tammy beaumont gives england hope they can chase down australia's huge first innings score at trent bridge.

and in weather, a very warm and humid data, right across the country with more sunshine developing later. i'll have your full weekend forecast coming up here on breakfast. it's saturday the 24th june. our main story: the kremlin has ordered the arrest of the leader of its mercenary group, wagner, which has been assisting the country in its war against ukraine. yevgeny prigozhin has been accused of mutiny by russia — it's after he called for a rebellion against russia's army. it follows accusations of a deadly attack on wagner forces. the fighters have left ukraine and entered russia where security has been stepped up. vincent mcavinney reports. operation fortress activating in moscow. in the middle of the night, military vehicles moving to key positions in the capital to protect kremlin buildings. the full details of the plan a state secrets but a sign that putin is clearly worried

because of this man. yevgeny prigozhin is the leader of the wagner group, a private mercenary army engaged by the kremlin to bolster its flagging traditionalforces in ukraine. prigozhin has been a close ally of putin's for years, accused of meddling in the 2016 us election and expanding russian influence in africa. since last year he's recruited thousands of convicts from prisons across russia to fight in ukraine but in recent weeks he's become a vocal critic of those running the war in moscow, culminating in friday's striking outburst and accusations his forces have been shelled by russia's generals. translation: the defence minister came to rostov on purpose - to conduct an operation to destroy pmc wagner. he used the artillery and the helicopter pilots blindly to destroy us. this is not a military coup, it is a march forjustice.

in response, russian state tv interrupts its normal programming to broadcast an emergency news bulletin. the host announcing that the fsb, russia's domestic intelligence agency, has launched a criminal case against prigozhin and that president putin is being kept informed. prigozhin claims his forces have now crossed back over the russian border in multiple locations and are entering the nearby city of rostov where military vehicles have also been moved overnight. but prigozhin is vowing to destroy everything put in his force's way as they attempt to march back to moscow. a white house spokesperson says president biden has been briefed and is monitoring the situation as well as liaising with allies. analysts believe this could be a defining moment for ukraine in the war. these kinds of developments taking place indicates to me the beginning

or at least the early stages of an unravelling of state power. even if they put down prigozhin, it is clear this is not going to be an isolated incident. it's unclear yet what exactly is taking place in russia, but the next few hours could see putin's grip on power fractured in a way not seen since he first assumed office 23 years ago. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. junior doctors in england will go on strike next month for five consecutive days — making it the longest single period of industrial action in nhs history. it's after the british medical association union, which represents doctors, said an offer of a 5% pay rise was not credible. government ministers say the offer is fair and reasonable, as marta newman reports. chanting. what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! thousands of appointments will be cancelled again next month asjunior doctors are set to strike once more — the fourth time since

this pay dispute began. and the dispute remains the same — the british medical association union which represents more than 116,000 junior doctors in the uk say a government offer of a 5% rise was not credible and that pay has not kept up with inflation. ministers, on the other hand, say the pay offer is fair and reasonable but it's patients who are suffering. we've already seen around 650,000 procedures postponed thanks to strike action in the last seven months or so. over 100,000 of those during the lastjunior doctor strike and that's incredibly disruptive for individual patients who may be waiting in pain or anxiously waiting to be seen. there are thousands more patients whose treatment is postponed as a knock—on impact of that week of strike action as well so we simply can't allow this to become business as usual. it's dreadful for patients, it's damaging for staff morale and it's increasingly expensive for the nhs.

junior doctors make up around half of all hospital doctors in england and a quarter of all doctors working in gp surgeries. they'll walk out from 7am on thursday the 13th ofjuly through to tuesday the 18th ofjuly in what is thought to be the longest single period of industrial action in the history of the health service. hospital consultants in england could also go on strike on the 20th and 21st ofjuly if medics vote for action. the result of that ballot is due early next week. downing street say the planned strike action is concerning, describing the walkouts as hugely disappointing, saying in a statement: meanwhile, the rolling nurses strike in england may soon come to an end.

the royal college of nursing has raised doubts over whether the 50% voting threshold to trigger further action will be reached. marta newman, bbc news. the police watchdog has said that hand—held metal detectors could be introduced by forces across the country after a man was found guilty of murdering a custody sergeant with a gun he'd hidden. louis de zoysa shot sergeant matt ratana using an antique revolver that he'd smuggled into a holding cell at a croydon police station in september 2020. he will be sentenced next month. investigations in the us and canada are being launched to determine what caused the submersible, titan, to implode as it descended to the wreck of the titanic — all five people on board died. the sub�*s mother ship, polar prince, is due to return to stjohn's in canada in the next few hours, asjessica parker reports. nearly one week ago,

this vessel began its journey down towards the most famous shipwreck in the world. but contact was lost, with officials later finding that the titan submersible was likely crushed in a catastrophic implosion. on—board was the head of the expedition firm stockton rush, british pakistani businessman shahzada dawood and his teenage son suleman, british billionaire hamish harding and french adventurer paul—henri nargeolet. his family described him as one of the greatest deep sea explorers in modern history. the whole week has been so difficult because i think we've been very hopeful that the best possible outcome could happen. of course i think we recognised it would be a true miracle but, you know, miracles can happen. and then thursday morning when we got the news of the debris i think our hearts were broken, frankly. this past week saw a huge

international search for the missing titan submersible. it ended with the discovery of debris on the seafloor not far from the titanic wreck. now attention is turning to questions about what happened, why, and how to prevent such a tragedy again. every time i dive i see something i've never seen before. it's emerged that safety fears were previously raised with stockton rush, the chief executive of oceangate which led the expedition. oceangate has not commented on a 2018 e—mail exchange seen by the bbc where mr rush apparently dismissed concerns about the experimental design of the uncertified vessel. if you steer away from sound engineering principles which are all based on hardwon experience, there is a price to pay, and it's a terrible price so it should never be allowed to happen again. it shouldn't have been allowed

to happen this time. canadian government investigators are now heading here — the port of stjohns in newfoundland. it's where the sub was transported from before it began its fateful dive. another probe into what happened is also said to be launched in the us. the search for the titan is over. now the search for answers. jessica parker, bbc news, in boston. our correspondent, danjohnsonjoins us now from boston where the rescue effort was being co—ordinated. morning, dan. the really tough questions are being asked and the scrutiny is emerging. yes, there is a search for answers. a proper timeline of exactly what went wrong here and an answer as to what the real fault was that caused this loss. they will be an investigation run by the us coastguard from here but also one being started by safety officials

from the canadian transport safety board because the polar prince, the ship that the oceangate expedition was launched from is a canadian ship and that ship is heading back to the port in stjohn's newfoundland and due to arrive there later this morning carrying some of the other expedition team back to land. some of the ships that were involved in the search and rescue effort have already arrived back there and we are already expecting more of those vessels to return as the day goes on, as this recovery effort moves into a different phase, really. but there is still to beauty around near where the wreckage was found as they try to find any more evidence that can help them piece together exactly what happened here. we're getting a bigger picture of the sort of concerns and worries that raised with stockton rush over the years, rings like these e—mail exchanges. people in the deep dive exploration community voicing their concerns about the designs, —— the designs he

was using and the materials he was using. some considered his experimental expeditions to be downright dangerous and he has defended himself in these e—mails saying he was pushing the envelope, pushing the boundaries, being innovative and needing to break rules to achieve the sort of things he wanted to achieve but sadly we know that the warnings were perhaps accurate and that is why the submersible and the five lives have been lost. . ~ submersible and the five lives have been lost. ., ~ , ., , submersible and the five lives have been lost. . ~' , ., , . submersible and the five lives have been lost. ., ~ , ., , . johnson in boston. members of the scottish national party will meet in dundee later at a convention to discuss how they can hold a legally binding referendum on scottish independence. scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, is expected to tell members that westminster�*s response, during the cost—of—living crisis, demonstrates why they need to leave the uk. polls suggest current backing for independence is around 118%. the king has praised the military for its "immense and dedicated contribution" in a statement to mark his first armed forces day as commander—in—chief. marches and celebrations will take place across the uk. in cornwall, more than 1,000 service

personnel will be part of a parade that will include fly—pasts from the red arrows. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. is the weather going to hold? another grey seen here in devon and misty and murky around southern and western parts right now but that will break up and it will be a pretty warm if not hot day today across modes that make most parts of the uk. another warm night tonight but tomorrow with we could see some changes. bunbury downpours but not for everyone. so stay tuned. it is happening is the thundery downpours typed to the weather fronts. before they arrive we have high pressure to they arrive we have high pressure to the east and that is helping to draw up the east and that is helping to draw up the humid air and that has been a

particularly warm start of the day. temperatures overnight not dropping below the mid— high—teens so get a jacket if you are going to step outdoors. some patchy drizzle across northern and western areas. heavier bursts into the north—west of scotland later and the odd isolated shower continuing. low cloud may continue to luh —— linger around western coasts of wales and towards the east of the english channel but most of you will see more sunshine through this afternoon and the temperatures will respond accordingly. 26 around the northeast of scotland on 29 or 30 towards the southeast of england and the heat that builds up through the day will be slow to move away through the night and by the time some of you are starting to think about going to bed, around ten o'clock, temperatures are still in many parts of the uk above 20 degrees so another tough night for sleeping tonight. anotherfew another tough night for sleeping tonight. another few changes to take us to end the night and tomorrow morning and namely this weather

front pushing and across ireland's first thing on sunday morning, arriving with potentially heavy and thundery downpours, moving from west to east and elsewhere the odd dry start. a bit more breeze through tomorrow with the heavy and thundery rain will move the way eastwards with a few hours of rain and maybe a few showers but not much rain if any at all and that includes glastonbury. hotter today, 31 or 32. and close to where we should be at this stage in the air. the fresh air pushes to all as we move from sunday night into monday so if it is all got a bit too much for you, monday will be a much more comfortable day. we will see a few showers around scotland and northern ireland and cloud will thicken to bring more persistent rain later on. away from that, england and wales, isolated shower but most will be dry especially south and east and temperatures a bit more akin to where we should be around this stage ofjune and we will be at those sort

ofjune and we will be at those sort of level through the week ahead but be prepared to the north and west, they will be wet and at times breezy conditions with the further south and east you are, many places will continue to stay dry and still quite warm. as we've been hearing, the longest single period of strike action in nhs history is due to take place next month, asjunior doctors in england walk out for five days in an ongoing dispute over pay. we're joined now by matthew taylor, the chief executive of nhs confederation, which represents health service trusts. good health service trusts. review to join this morning. five good review to join this morning. five days next month, consecutive, how do you feel about that? it is obviously very — how do you feel about that? it is obviously very bad news. if you look across _ obviously very bad news. if you look across the _ obviously very bad news. if you look across the whole of the industrial action— across the whole of the industrial action we — across the whole of the industrial action we have been looking out for the last— action we have been looking out for the last seven months or so, we have seen upwards of 650,000 cancelled

point is this issue of money, the government offering 5%, virginia dockis government offering 5%, virginia dock is demanding 35%, and that is a huge gap. what i think needs to happen is a bit of pragmatism, a bit of imagination. we saw with the agenda for change, we hope that will stick, it was a combination of money for this year but also a payment for last year. so perhaps the government needs to acknowledge that there is a genuine issue around the pay of junior doctors. there is genuine issues about the retention of the staff, the public pays thousands of pounds to train doctors and too often after they have qualified they move to another health system where they are paid better or they drop out of health entirely. the government needs to acknowledge and recognise the need to do something about pay. and i think thejunior doctors need to recognise that while 35% maybe their aspiration, they will have to settle for something different. so at least if both sides indicate the fact that they are willing to comp document compromise,

joining us. the time now is 7:21am. today marks one year since the us supreme court overturned a ruling that had made abortion legal across the country since the 1970s. within days of that ruling clinics had already started to close in some states. our correspondent sophie long has been finding out what the impact has been across the us as the debate remains as divisive as ever. legal abortion on demand! as news broke of the supreme court's ruling, protests erupted across america. abortion became illegal automatically in some states, in others bands were swiftly signed into effect and clinics closed. mississippi's last abortion provider is now a furniture shop. but those who work here are still performing the procedure, two states in 17 hours' drive away in new mexico. we hours' drive away in new mexico. - moved everything from jackson here,

and we mostly served texas women here. i think it is a great loss, i think it is... i think they have taken itjust like they have everything else in mississippi, and they had taken mississippi backwards again. in mississippi everything has changed and nothing has changed. in the poorest parts of america's poorest state, for some, accessing an abortion was almost impossible before the ban. often the only support available was a crisis pregnancy centres run by anti—abortion organisations. i understand single parenthood, i understand not knowing if the food will be there. i understand the lack of resources. i understand what a lot of these women are going through, i understand infertility. i understand that the decision of do i abort, do i keep? i understand a lot of things that maybe when you look

at women like me, or others that run facilities like this, that we don't understand — but we do. over the past 12 months then out—of—state has become a confusing patchwork of abortion laws. in texas where i am now it is illegal. but across the border in new mexico women still have the right to choose. and so doctors like aaron campbell travel thousands of miles every week to perform the procedure legally. i every week to perform the procedure leaall . ., ., every week to perform the procedure leaall . . ., ., every week to perform the procedure leuall. . ., ., , every week to perform the procedure leiall . ., ., ., , ., every week to perform the procedure leuall. ., ., ., i. . . legally. i am out of my own clinic because we _ legally. i am out of my own clinic because we had _ legally. i am out of my own clinic because we had to _ legally. i am out of my own clinic because we had to close. - legally. i am out of my own clinic because we had to close. it i legally. i am out of my own clinic because we had to close. it is i legally. i am out of my own clinic because we had to close. it is a l because we had to close. it is a felony in tennessee to provide an abortion. i believe in this right for people to be able to make this decision for themselves. and i believe that they should be able to get that care from someone who knows how to do this safely.— how to do this safely. meanwhile in mississippi. — how to do this safely. meanwhile in mississippi, even _ how to do this safely. meanwhile in mississippi, even though _ how to do this safely. meanwhile in i

with annabel sutherland frustrating england's bowlers as she cruised to her first century. the fastest ever test hundred for australia. it took until after lunch for england to finally see off the visitors. sophie ecclestone with a fifer, putting an end to this epic innings, but not before the visitors posted a giant total of 473 — the highest women's test score in the last 20 years. sutherland 137 not out. what could england do in response? show some much—needed grit is the answer. captain heather knight claimed a half—century but it was beaumont who really shone. bringing about the loudest cheer of the day, she made her hundred just before the close. day three will begin with a match well—balanced and with beaumont at the helm, england had managed to chip away at the huge australia score. now theyjust need to keep it going. jo currie, bbc news, trent bridge. scotland's cricketers have won two out matches of two in their men's world cup qualification group, beating the uae by 111 runs

in zimbabwe, yesterday. captain richie berrington�*s century was the foundation for their innings of 282 for 8 the second scotland centurion, in as many matches. the uae were never really in the chase. scotland arejoint top of their group, looking good for a place in the final stage of qualifying. there's no stopping ireland's leona maguire, at the moment, the form player in golf after she stormed to her second lpga tour title last sunday at the lpga classic. she now has a one shot lead heading into the third round of the women's pga championship in newjersey. maguire followed up her good form on thursday with five birdies in a three under par round of 68. england's mel reid is one of three players a shot further back on four under par overall but maguire is the one to catch. and rory mcllroy had a better day at the travellers championship in connecticut. he made a second round 64, and is tied tenth, seven shots off

the lead which is shared by americans denny mccarthy and keegan bradley wimbledon is just over a week away with players getting game time on grass but not british number one cameron norrie, at queens anymore, because he's been knocked out in the quarter—finals. he was beaten by america's seb korda. norrie was a queens finalist two years ago but he was below par in this match, losing the first set 6—4 and the second 7—6 in a tie break. korda will face the top seed carlos alcaraz in the last four later today. it was the same story for britain's harriet dart at the birmingham classic as she beaten by russian fourth seed anastasia potapova in the quarter—finals. dart was the last brit still in the draw at the wimbledon warm—up event but after being a break up in the second set the british number four fell away against the world number 21. it was a dramatic night in rugby league as castleford moved closer to super league survival as they beat second

placed warrington. there were also wins for hull kingston rovers over wakefield and leeds on a special night for the rhinos. they had a very special guest watching their legend rob burrow who's been fighting motor neurone disease since 2019 and doing so much to raise funds for research and this fixture was dedicated to raising awareness of the disease, and on the pitch rob burrow, would have loved what he saw as his former team leeds ran in nine tries to end their losing streak and thrash huddersfield giants so the giants own dreadful form continues. onto the latest summer football transfer news and wolves have sold captain ruben neves to saudi arabian side al—hilalfor a club record 47 million pounds. nevesjoins a growing list of players moving to saudi arabia's pro league. the portuguese midfielder had been at wolves for six seasons helping them get promoted to the premier league in his first year.

whether temperature measurement look where weather is heading this afternoon, 25 or 26 northeast of scotland, 2425 in northern ireland, up scotland, 2425 in northern ireland, up to 31 towards the southeast. mid 20s at trent bridge, should stay dry, a small chance a very small chance of a passing light shower. dry and very hot for the semifinals in west london for queens, and temperatures of 29 this afternoon, it will take a while for the heat to disappear as we go into tonight. temperatures through tonight into tomorrow morning, once again staying in the mid—to high teens across many parts of the country. and a stuffy night and warm start tomorrow. this is the weather fronts that will bring them, the pressure airjust behind us to the west, it will bring spells of heavy and hungry rain across northern ireland during the first part of the morning, that will spread into scotland, eventually through the first part of the

afternoon, later in the afternoon part of northern england, may the north midlands to further south, looks like very few showers around, many will stay dry and eastern areas stay hot and humid tomorrow, even hotter through the southeast corner. that more comfortable air will push to all as we go through the night and into monday. but it opens the door to atlantic avenue next week, so be prepared, there will be a bit of rain to northern and western areas, more changeable in terms of forecasts. showers around on monday, scotland still the odd heavy one. more persistent rain edging into the west of northern ireland. but in most of england wales, temperatures close to where they should be for this time ofjune.— this time ofjune. monday will be cool relief- _ this time ofjune. monday will be cool relief. it _ this time ofjune. monday will be cool relief. it will— this time ofjune. monday will be cool relief. it will be, but - this time ofjune. monday will be cool relief. it will be, but still- cool relief. it will be, but still 'ust a cool relief. it will be, but still just a touch _ cool relief. it will be, but still just a touch above _ cool relief. it will be, but still just a touch above average. l now it's time for newswatch. we'll be back wth

the headlines at 8. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. with the new single channel for both domestic and international audiences, are uk viewers getting a news service that meets their needs? and is a tv news channel the right place for a radio phone—in show for 2 hours every weekday? it's 12 weeks since the bbc's two news channels became one single operation, so time to take stock of the new service, which we'll be doing throughout this programme with its boss, paul royle. at some times of the day, uk viewers see a separate, dedicated feed. for example, between nine and 11 every weekday morning when nicky campbell's 5 live radio phone—in programme is shown. ..nicky campbell, listen on bbc sounds and watch on iplayer.

good morning. good to see you. a number of viewers, though, have told us they don't believe a news channel is the right place for a phone—in show. here are two of them. we now have the option of watching either a radio phone—in programme which is simultaneously broadcast on radio 5 if we wanted to listen to it, or switching to a competitor's news coverage, none of which hold a candle to the bbc's normal offering. so between nine and 11 am, every weekday morning is now a news desert. we've also lost a number of excellent news presenters, the likes of anita mcveigh and martine croxall, who brought empathy and interest who brought empathy and interest to their broadcasts. and whilst i know that the bbc in these straitened times have to save money, surely there are other ways in which this can be done without losing the fundamental quality of bbc news coverage. if i wanted to listen to a radio phone—in or even participate, then i go to the radio and television news and bbc news is a particular medium which is important for a range of things.

i don't understand why are you doing it — is it cost saving? if so, just seems to be misplaced. the effect of it is that i, and i suspect many others, migrate to another news medium. and that's sky news. on the point mentioned by sheryl there about the loss of presenters such as anita mcvey and martine croxall, we asked the bbc about their status and that of other female presenters all over 45 who haven't appeared on the news channel since march. the bbc told us: well, let's talk now to paul royle, who is in charge of the news channel. first thing in the morning then nicky campbell's show is already on the radio, it's already on bbc 2. why isn't the news channel showing the bbc news output going out across the world? because that would be a real choice for viewers, wouldn't it, paul?

the nicky campbell show takes uk viewers to the heart of talking points every morning, and these talking points are based in news stories. obviously there's news headlines and updates in the nicky campbell show, and headlines that run across the bottom of the screen. and of course, as you've seen on those mornings, when perhaps there is a clash, whether there is a big news story or a press conference — for example, earlier in the week when the prime minister and ukraine's president were speaking at the uk — the ukraine conference in london, we ran that news conference instead of nicky campbell. so we're flexible as well. but the programme takes us to people and places and talking points which we think are really valuable to the channel. another question about programmes, then, is later in the day there are these three strands — verified live, the daily global and the context. our viewers are saying they're alljust news, they're not unique programming — what's the point of this branding? well, obviously, we've only launched that branding fairly recently.

the channel isn't in its new format, even even three months old. and so to take verified live, for example, that programme has a relationship with bbc verify, which is the new team and hub that we've set up in the newsroom, which is going deeper behind stories and checking stories out in a more forensic and data—led and analytical way. and so, for example, we make space every day to make sure we feature content and analysis from bbc verify. so that's a way in which that programme is forging its own identity. we're going to pause therejust for a moment, paul, to look at the content of the news on the channel, the programming and the international versus the uk focus. so despite that separate stream for uk viewers at certain times of the day, most of the output is shared with audiences around the world. and in the eyes of some, that's led to domestic news being downgraded at the expense of international events. reporting live from singapore... overnight, that's reflected not just in the choice of stories, but in the presentation, too,

which comes from singapore and from washington. this emphasis on foreign news hasn't gone down well with everyone. my name is blackmore. i'm concerned by what has happened to bbc news channel. it seems to have lots and lots of international news with lots of international presenters. really, we need a channel that reflects where it originates from. so can we please go back to just having the bbc news channel as it was, with the news readers we had. paul, many licence fee payers who've long been watchers of the news channel are really unhappy that they no longer get a dedicated uk bbc news service. and it's not like uk news as boring right now. are you going to have to rethink this?

well, again, there's a couple of things there. as you said at the beginning, the channel operates in a couple of ways. there's a combined feed when it's the same content, it's going out to the world and to the uk. but we also have periods when the feed is separate as well, with a global feed and a uk feed. and so obviously then that is very uk—facing. we also have the ability to break stories out and spend more time on a big uk story through the day. for example, when those terrible events in nottingham occurred a couple of weeks ago and we were able to spend the whole day covering those events for uk audiences. and it's interesting because we've just run some audience — an audience survey, which isjust run by our audience team which hasjust come back. and actually 60% of uk viewers who we've surveyed think the balance is about right between uk and global news, and of those who are left it's evenly split between some who think there's too much uk and not enough global, and some who think there's too much global and not enough uk. so at this point, and we're thinking about this all the time, of course we're always thinking about this — but we feel like we are sort

of broadly in the right place. some viewers, as we've heard, they really dislike the overnight presentation from singapore and washington. does it really feel like a british news channel at those times? well, obviously, what we're doing is we've got a combined news channel, it's uk and it's global. and what we're doing with this sort of idea of following the sun and broadcasting live from singapore and from washington, dc through sort of uk night—time hours. and what that means is you've got really dynamic teams who are delivering from different parts of the world during their daytime, covering events in their region, but also events around the world as well. so to give you a good example, our brilliant team in washington, dc. the big interview they secured a few weeks ago with one of the godfathers of ai, and his fears about what ai can do. that was secured by them through the night, obviously a highly important, big subject and it was the lead

story not just across the bbc but across lots of places the following morning. that is one advantage you would get with teams who are active in chasing stories. thank you paul. another concern we have heard over the past few weeks is the range of stories being covered on the news channel and a tendency that some feel they have dissected to stick almost excessively to one topic. one example we featured on this programme was the departure of phillip schofield from itv�*s this morning after an affair with a young colleague. similar complaints surfaced the following week when prince harry appeared in the high court against the daily mirror, and this week the channel has covered many hours for the search for the missing submersible which ended on thursday with the confirmation the five passengers had died. on the subject on titan, e—mails:

so paul, let's deal with that issue. the contrasting coverage of the titan and the sinking of the migrant boat of the mediterranean last week in which five or 600 people are believed dead. many viewers believe that they got that balance wrong and also that there was something ethically distasteful about that alleged imbalance. what you say? obviously the titan, what happened has been the dominant news story over the last few days and there has been a lot of coverage and there has been a huge audience engagement with that story. it would be wrong to say that bbc news was not covering extensively what happened to the mediterranean a week ago. we were in kalamata reporting live and extensively from there. we had a piece from pakistan—administered kashmirjust

last night going to villages where 28 of the victims are thought to have come from. we are still in kalamata today interviewing survivors from that terrible incident. and probably one of the most significant pieces ofjournalism from anyone over the past week on this story was when the bbc, bbc news established and challenged the greek coastguard's version of events in terms of what happened in the seas, and this idea that the boat was continuously moving to italy. another big issue and a complaint on the news channel for many viewers is the rolling hours spent on a story that viewers think is not developing. so an example is waiting for prince harry at court, the phillip schofield story and viewers say why hang on for hours, often with the reporter standing outside of the building filling airtime when there is nothing new to say? we always strive to get that balance right. one thing we know is that audiences or some audiences at least want that pre—build to a story and we get that through our data.

of course that is not always an exact science and sometimes we get it wrong. we are obviously not perfect in that regard. at the same time we do want to deliver a high story count for viewers and want to take them to other subjects and issues as well. we do think about it hard, when there is a big story we know that the audiences want to immerse themselves in it that is part of the logic behind what we are doing. we are conscious of this and we always try and strike the right balance. paul royle, thank you so much. thank you for all of your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio and social media, e—mail us: or you can find us on twitter. you can call us. do you have a look at previous interviews on our website. that's all from us will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc

news coverage again next week. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... mutiny accusations — the mercenaries used by vladimir putin against ukraine, turn on russia. the head of the wagner group vows to topple russia's military leadership, hours after the kremlin accused him of "armed rebellion", putin is due to address the nation in the next few hours. junior doctors will hold their longest strike yet. next month will see five days of continuous action. falmouth in cornwall prepares

by the chief of the wagner mercenary group. we can see now, live pictures of putin's address from moscow. this has 'ust putin's address from moscow. this has just started _ putin's address from moscow. this hasjust started in putin's address from moscow. this has just started in the putin's address from moscow. this hasjust started in the last putin's address from moscow. this has just started in the last two minutes. hasjust started in the last two minutes. , .., , ., hasjust started in the last two minutes. , , ., minutes. his comments are coming throuah, minutes. his comments are coming through. quoting — minutes. his comments are coming through, quoting the _ minutes. his comments are coming through, quoting the president, - minutes. his comments are coming through, quoting the president, wej through, quoting the president, we are fighting for life and the security of our people. this is after the leader of the mercenaries, has been accused of mutiny after he called for a rebellion against russia's army. this follows accusations of a deadly attack on wagner forces.— accusations of a deadly attack on wagner forces. now prigozhin has said that putin _ wagner forces. now prigozhin has said that putin has _ wagner forces. now prigozhin has said that putin has control - wagner forces. now prigozhin has said that putin has control of - wagner forces. now prigozhin has said that putin has control of key | said that putin has control of key sites in the russian city on the ukrainian border. despite warnings, the streets are filled with fighters

from the wagon a group this morning. forces which had been used by the kremlin for the months in ukraine. now invading and taking control of one of their own cities. overnight, operation fortress activated in moscow. in the middle of the night, military vehicles moving to key positions in the capital to protect kremlin buildings. the full details of the plan are state secret but a sign that putin is clearly worried because of this man. yevgeny prigozhin is the leader of the wagner group, a private mercenary army engaged by the kremlin to bolster its flagging traditionalforces in ukraine. prigozhin has been a close ally of putin's for years, accused of meddling in the 2016 us election and expanding russian influence in africa. since last year he's recruited thousands of convicts from prisons across russia to fight in ukraine but in recent weeks he's become a vocal critic of those running the war in moscow, culminating in friday's striking outburst and accusations his forces have been

shelled by russia's generals. translation: the defence minister came to rostov on purpose to conduct an operation to destroy pmc wagner. he used the artillery and the helicopter pilots blindly to destroy us. this is not a military coup, it is a march forjustice. in response, russian state tv interrupts its normal programming to broadcast an emergency news bulletin. the host announcing that the fsb, russia's domestic intelligence agency, has launched a criminal case against prigozhin and that president putin is being kept informed. a white house spokesperson says president biden has been briefed and is monitoring the situation as well as liaising with allies. analysts believe this could be a defining moment for ukraine

in the war. these kinds of developments taking place indicates to me the beginning or at least the early stages of an unravelling of state power. even if they put down prigozhin, it is clear this is not going to be an isolated incident. it's unclear yet what exactly is taking place in russia, but the next few hours could see putin's grip on power fractured in a way not seen since he first assumed office 23 years ago. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. vladimir putin is speaking at this moment in time and he has demanded, he says, to prigozhin that he stops participation in criminal actions. he has said he will do everything to protect russia, saying that we will prevail, we will become stronger, he has also said he will defend the

constitution. he has said that the situation in rostov—on—don is difficult and has said that everyone who took part in the mutiny will be punished. he's also said he will take decisive action is to stabilise the situation in rostov—on—don. he's also added that russian armed forces have necessary orders. this is as president putin is addressing the nation at this moment in time. yes. nation at this moment in time. yes, that addresses _ nation at this moment in time. yes, that addresses right _ nation at this moment in time. yes, that addresses right now. _ nation at this moment in time. 19:3 that addresses right now. let's talk to a steve rosenberg right now. our audience this morning is taking quite a lot of information. do you want to put everything into context boris? the significance of this moment between the wagoner mercenary group and vladimir putin? yes. moment between the wagoner mercenary group and vladimir putin?— group and vladimir putin? yes, this is a hue group and vladimir putin? yes, this is a huge challenge _ group and vladimir putin? yes, this is a huge challenge to _ group and vladimir putin? yes, this is a huge challenge to the _ group and vladimir putin? yes, this is a huge challenge to the kremlin. | is a huge challenge to the kremlin. to vladimir— is a huge challenge to the kremlin. to vladimir putin. the wagoner mercenaries have been fighting on the side _ mercenaries have been fighting on the side of— mercenaries have been fighting on the side of russia and mr prigozhin

patients who are suffering. we've already seen around 650,000 procedures postponed thanks to strike action in the last seven months or so. over 100,000 of those during the lastjunior doctor strike and that's incredibly disruptive for individual patients who may be waiting in pain or anxiously waiting to be seen. there are thousands more patients whose treatment is postponed as a knock—on impact of that week of strike action as well so we simply can't allow this to become business as usual. it's dreadful for patients, it's damaging for staff morale and it's increasingly expensive for the nhs. junior doctors make up around half of all hospital doctors in england and a quarter of all doctors working in gp surgeries. they'll walk out from 7am on thursday the 13th ofjuly through to tuesday the 18th ofjuly in what is thought to be the longest single period of industrial action in the history

of the health service. hospital consultants in england could also go on strike on the 20th and 21st ofjuly if medics vote for action. the result of that ballot is due early next week. downing street say the planned strike action is concerning, describing the walkouts as hugely disappointing, saying in a statement: meanwhile, the rolling nurses strike in england may soon come to an end. the government has been clear that strikes must be paused while talks take place. meanwhile, the rolling nurses strike in england may soon come to an end. the royal college of nursing has raised doubts over whether the 50% voting threshold to trigger further action will be reached. marta newman, bbc news. investigations in the us and canada are being launched to determine what caused the submersible, titan, to implode as it descended

to the wreck of the titanic — all five people on board died. the sub�*s mother ship, polar prince, is due to return to stjohn's in canada in the next few hours, asjessica parker reports. nearly one week ago, this vessel began its journey down towards the most famous shipwreck in the world. but contact was lost, with officials later finding that the titan submersible was likely crushed in a catastrophic implosion. on—board was the head of the expedition firm stockton rush, british pakistani businessman shahzada dawood and his teenage son suleman, british billionaire hamish harding and french adventurer paul—henri nargeolet. his family described him as one of the greatest deep sea explorers in modern history. the whole week has been so difficult because i think we've been very hopeful that the best possible outcome could happen. of course i think we recognised it would be a true miracle but,

you know, miracles can happen. and then thursday morning when we got the news of the debris i think our hearts were broken, frankly. this past week saw a huge international search for the missing titan submersible. it ended with the discovery of debris on the seafloor not far from the titanic wreck. now attention is turning to questions about what happened, why, and how to prevent such a tragedy again. every time i dive i see something i've never seen before. it's emerged that safety fears were previously raised with stockton rush, the chief executive of oceangate which led the expedition. oceangate has not commented on a 2018 e—mail exchange seen by the bbc where mr rush apparently dismissed concerns about the experimental design of the uncertified vessel. if you steer away from sound engineering principles which are all based on hardwon

experience, there is a price to pay, and it's a terrible price so it should never be allowed to happen again. it shouldn't have been allowed to happen this time. canadian government investigators are now heading here — the port of stjohn's in newfoundland. it's where the sub was transported from before it began its fateful dive. another probe into what happened is also said to be launched in the us. the search for the titan is over. now the search for answers. jessica parker, bbc news, in boston. members of the scottish national party will meet in dundee later at a convention to discuss how they can hold a legally binding referendum on scottish independence. scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, is expected to tell members that westminster�*s response, during the cost—of—living crisis, demonstrates why they need to leave the uk. polls suggest current backing for independence is around 48 %.

glastonbury. let me show you one of our weather watcher shots. beautiful fog in scotland. it hasjust watcher shots. beautiful fog in scotland. it has just formed from the water droplets and sunshine gets to work as well. a lot of low cloud that you have got at the moment will gradually clear to sunny spells through the day. and it will reveal quite a hot day for many of you. it is quite humid out there, as it will be again by night, that there are some changes on the way this weekend. into sunday, some of you will get a few thunderstorms. let's deal with today the first of all. extensive cloud around at the moment, some patchy rain and drizzle in the west, some mist and sea fog in the west, some mist and sea fog in the west, some mist and sea fog in the english channel and the irish sea coast. some of that will linger throughout the day. elsewhere, a lot of the cloud will break up. showers continue through the afternoon with the odd isolated one in northern england and the midlands. foremost, it be an afternoon of sunny spells

and feeling quite hot out there in the sunshine. 26 degrees in the west of northern ireland and maybe 2932 as of the south—east of england. after that very hot day, a very warm night can once again tonight. even as you are starting to contemplate heading to bed at ten p m, temperatures in many areas still above 20 degrees. but as i said, there is a change in the way tomorrow. this is the weather from that will bring the change, some fresh air lies behind that as it starts to work its way in. for sunday, that will start to bring some rain for the morning for northern ireland. elsewhere, a dry and sunny start but others those thundery downpours will work their way eastward through the day. southern counties of england and south wales will have very few showers around. in eastern parts, another humid one, 30 or 31 degrees possible to the south—east of england. but it's much fresher in the west. they were once an essential part of every high street,

but over the past few years there've been a number of bank closures, and in our towns and villages they're slowly becoming a thing of the past. more than 400 branches have closed since 2015. banks say more of their customers are turning to online banking, but charities warn that the changes are causing some people to become increasingly isolated, as ben godfrey reports. when lloyds bank closed its bromyard branch last autumn, it really did come as little surprise. one after another disappearing from this town, a town that's seen a ripple effect, leaving people here feeling short—changed. quite often we have to take money out of our tip jar, because that's where there's a lot of small change in there, especially the elderly people. we're seeing more and more cash around than we previously were, so we don't want to not take it, but in the next breath, we're often having to say to people, it's got to be card because we don't have the change to give you. shop owners have told us they're having to travel to hereford and leominster to deposit their takings. the post office is open and has been offering

retailers cash services, but it's not enough, they say. we are limited as to how much we can actually get in one day. you know, they provide an excellent facility, but it would be better for us and our customers to actually have a bank in town. are you two having a holiday? lynne jackson, who's visually impaired, has come to the hope centre for support with online banking. the alternative, now all the town's banks have closed, is a 15—mile bus journey to hereford. they say, "oh, it's easier to go online, do this, you only have to do this or that, you know. you can put the money in. you can do that." i can't and i'm too scared to do it. the centre has started digital inclusion sessions and is now working alongside age uk, citizens advice, and women's aid to help reduce isolation in this community. without the bank here now, how are you supposed to pay for things if you're not set up digitally? and so the risk to them is that

they're unable to do things that they did before. it's as simple as that, isn't it? it may be bricks and mortar to some, but the loss of a bank branch has left many rural communities stretched. you feel that you're not with it. you are old. it does feel that you can't do, sort out your problems yourself. ben godfrey, bbc news, bromyard in herefordshire. we're joined now by harry kind, consumer affairs expert at which?. this idea that people are being isolated, we've spoken about this when we talked about supermarket tills and people don't have an opportunity for conversation with the automated ones. it comes down to relying on technology now, which is what the banks are saying, and a lot of people don't embrace that and feeling elated by it as well. or we hear the same and it comes to

had the women's ashes offering just as much excitement and promises of excitement as the men's. yes. as much excitement and promises of excitement as the men's.— excitement as the men's. yes, and hats off to — excitement as the men's. yes, and hats off to england _ excitement as the men's. yes, and hats off to england because - excitement as the men's. yes, and hats off to england because you i hats off to england because you might remember after australia got their record, 473, you might have thought after that england would just wilt, but they have gone anything you can do, we can do better maybe or as well as. england have batted themselves back into contention, in the one off women's ashes test, and it means day 3 should be enthralling with the match finely poised. trent bridge has proved to be a batter�*s paradise so far as england finshed the second day some 255 runs behind the aussies, after their history making first innings. the visitors frusrated england's bowlers early on, as annabel sutherland cruised to her first century — the fastest ever test hundred for australia, setting the hosts a target of 473. england responded well though,

captain heather knight brought up a half century, but it was tammy beaumont who shone brightest, bringing about the loudest cheer of the day, as she made her hundred just before the close. england will resume day three on 218—2. anytime you contribute to the team, obviously ate few runs behind alberta and the bowlers were putting on a hard the 41 and a half days and nights to repay them and give the bowlers are bits of arrest and personal milestones are always good as well. there's no stopping ireland's leona maguire at the moment, the form player in golf. that's after she stormed to her second lpga tour title last sunday at the lpga classic, she now has a one—shot lead heading into the third round of the women's pga championship in newjersey. maguire followed up her good form on thursday with five birdies in a three under par round of 68. england's mel reid is one of three players a shot further back on four under par overall,

but maguire is the one to catch. it was a dramatic night in rugby league, as castleford moved closer to super league survival, as they beat second—placed warrington. there were also wins for hull kingston rovers over wakefield and leeds on a special night for the rhinos. they had a very special guest watching, their legend rob burrow, who's been fighting motor neurone disease since 2019 and doing so much to raise funds for research. and this fixture was dedicated to raising awareness of the disease. and on the pitch, rob burrow would have loved what he saw, as his former team, leeds, ran in nine tries to end their losing streak and thrash huddersfield giants 54—0, so the giants�* own dreadful form continues. their coach said it was a terrible beginning, a terrible middle and a terrible end, for the giants at least. talking of efforts to help fight motor neurone disease, the gloucester hartpury players will donate their match fees from their premier 155 final today to help the campaign led by former gloucester star ed slater, who himself has been diagnosed with the disease. as for the final, there will be a new name etched on the premier 155

trophy this weekend and it will be a a non—london team for the first time in the league's six—year history. gloucester are first—time finalists and will face last year's runners—up exeter chiefs at kingsholm stadium, which has been rebranded as queensholm for the occasion. its a final farewell to royal ascot for frankie dettori today. his grown up children have said they want more winners on this last day. and you would be daft to bet against him, after the week he's having. after winning the gold cup on thursday, he won two more races yesterday. he's now 52 and is set to retire at the end of the year, but has now made it an incredible 81 royal ascot winners. his trademark victory leap after victory on board coppice came after the win, in the first race of the day, riding porta fortuna — adding to the celebrations after that win in the gold cup. we'll find out more in an hour's time. thank you. it is nine minutes

to nine and we will keep you up—to—date with the situation in russia at the moment after mercenary forces, there has been an uprising, clash with the mercenary forces. putin has addressed the nation and we will keep you up to date as the story develops. as we've been reporting, the longest single period of strike action in nhs history is due to take place next month, asjunior doctors in england walk out for five days in an ongoing dispute over pay. they will strike from 7am on thursday the 13th ofjuly through to tuesday the 18th ofjuly. more senior consultants in england could also go on strike on the 20th and 21st ofjuly if they vote for action. the result of that ballot is due early next week. downing street say the planned walk—outs are "concerning" and "hugely disappointing." let's now speak to dr emma runswick, deputy chair of the british medical association's

control. our actions to defend the state against the threat will be harsh. junior doctors will hold their longest rake yet, next month will see five days of continuous action. falmouth in cornwall prepares to welcome thousands of visitors for armed forces day. england bat their way back, into the women's ashes... a first test century from tammy beaumont, gives england hope they can chase down australia's huge first innings score at trent bridge... and in weather, a very warm and humid day to come right across the country, with more sunshine developing later.

i will have your full weekend forecast coming up here on breakfast. it's saturday the 24th june. a developing story to bring you, the russian president has called the actions of the mercenary group, a stab in the back. in a televised address it follows a dramatic challenge by the group's leader. that address took place in the last hour, progozhin from the wagon group has been accused of mutiny after he called for rebellion against russia's army. it is following accusations of a deadly attack on his forces. we understand that president macron of france is keeping a close eye on the situation. the ministry of

defence has released a statement regarding this and has described what is going on is the most significant challenge in recent times.

i shall repeat, any internal mutiny is a serious threat to our state. it's a threat to our nation, it is a blow to russia, a blow to our people. ouractions blow to russia, a blow to our people. our actions to defend the state against the threat will be same.

as the president of russia and the supreme commander in chief, as a citizen of russia, i shall do everything to defend the country, to defend the constitutional system, life and security under the freedom of the people. those who organised and prepared the armed mutiny, those who took up arms against their comrades have betrayed russia and will answer for it. that comrades have betrayed russia and will answer for it.— will answer for it. that was president _ will answer for it. that was president putin's _ will answer for it. that was president putin's nationall will answer for it. that was - president putin's national address earlier, calling the events at the trail, a stab in the back. although, he did not by name mention that your

guinea progozhin maintains this is not a coup. they have been shooting at us, we have been shooting at them and that has been going on these eight long years. from 2014 to 2022. sometimes the firing increases and sometimes it eases. on february 20 24th there was nothing extraordinary. now, the russian defence ministry is trying to deceive the president and the public by claiming there was insane aggression on the part of ukraine and that they were going to attack us. along with the entire natal block. so the so—called special military operation on february 24 was launched for completely different reasons.— was launched for completely different reasons. progozhin has vowed to go _ different reasons. progozhin has vowed to go all _ different reasons. progozhin has vowed to go all the _ different reasons. progozhin has vowed to go all the way - different reasons. progozhin has vowed to go all the way and i different reasons. progozhin has i vowed to go all the way and topple the russian military leadership, but denied he was carrying out a coup.

described wagner's actions. he said that domestic troubles were a deadly threat to russia and he promised a tough response, he called this treachery and he basically likened the situation to 1917, the year of course, of the russian revolution. no sense from that brief tv address that vladimir putin is ready, willing, in a mood to sit down and chapter mr progozhin to work things out or even give up his defence minister i'll give up his chief of the general staff. this is a president who is basically saying that enough is enough, we are going to crackdown now. but how is he going to do that? that is the question. it is a very difficult situation for vladimir putin and of course, there is the situation in ukraine. 16 months ago, vladimir putin launched a full—scale invasion

of ukraine, russia's war in ukraine has not gone according to plan, so he huge headache there for vladimir putin. meanwhile, he has to sort out a very difficult domestic situation and are very dangerous threat to his power here now. and are very dangerous threat to his power here now— and are very dangerous threat to his power here now. steve rosenberg with that anal sis power here now. steve rosenberg with that analysis from _ power here now. steve rosenberg with that analysis from moscow. _ power here now. steve rosenberg with that analysis from moscow. we - that analysis from moscow. we continue to bring you new lines as they come in and we are just hearing from the uk foreign office, confirming that there are reports of military tensions in russia's rostov—on—don region and the risk of further unrest across russia. that is according to the uk foreign ministry. raising concern about further unrest across russia and the tensions in russia's rostov region. we've also heard from the german government to a saying they are closely monitoring events in russia. of closely monitoring events in russia. of course, this is a huge challenge that has been a frantic president

putin by progozhin. let's talk more about today's developments. olga, one of the things that i suppose is most surprising to most people about this is, for a long time, wagner has really been at the forefront over russia's advancement in ukraine. handing them victories in the back much, how do we understand how this relationship has devolved into this? wagner was a forefront of russian military for years now since the fighting started in 2014, then in syria and in several african countries. so indeed, for a very long time they were fulfilling the tasks of putin's geopolitical goals abroad and also they were always

closely entwined and communicating with the ministry of defence. on the one hand, it is a surprise if you look back to the 2014, but on the other hand, the head of wagner, progozhin started his quite emotional video address quite a while ago and was heavily criticised by the head of the russian ministry of defence. it“s by the head of the russian ministry of defence. it's a crisis in the making, on the other hand, what we have currently is a lot of statements and audio addresses by progozhin, but not that many videos to prove exactly what is going on. not many videos to prove his words. we need to remember that progozhin is not only the founder of wagner, he is very well developed and

versatile chain over media resources. websites, telegram channels, social media channels, so a very well controlled and tightly controlled system where he can easily spread and control the narrative. to be honest, in a way, the russian state controls the tv but they don't have that much presence and influence in social media is progozhin currently has. so he has an upper hand in this crisis. that is quite an interesting thing that you point out that, that he does have a direct channel to spread his own narrative about things. one of the ways that he has been contradicting the kremlin“s narrative is by giving the reason for the war in ukraine. he is saying that it for the war in ukraine. he is saying thatitis for the war in ukraine. he is saying that it is not what the kremlin are president putin has said it was. what do you make of that? what does he gain from spreading that sort of idea? in he gain from spreading that sort of idea? ., , he gain from spreading that sort of idea? . ._ , he gain from spreading that sort of idea? . .y , ., he gain from spreading that sort of idea? . ._ , ., . . idea? in a way, he is not creating an hint

idea? in a way, he is not creating anything new _ idea? in a way, he is not creating anything new and _ idea? in a way, he is not creating anything new and the _ idea? in a way, he is not creating anything new and the way - idea? in a way, he is not creating anything new and the way he i idea? in a way, he is not creating l anything new and the way he gains his popularity, he always voices over what many people think and what many people discuss. i think all of the influences have alreadyjoked about the fact that russia has launched this invasion but of the goals of the invasion are really unclear, even when state officials make their statements, they are still being asked and re—asked what they actually mean. so by questioning this narrative, he only voices things that have already been discussed. once again, that gives him an upper hand. of course, publicly, for mr putin, this is quite surprising and unpleasant that this is happening now in such a scale. on the other hand, it is really early to say at the moment whether it is all somewhat

rehearsed. we need to remember that mr putin used to be the current leader of the kgb, so he's really good with all of these operations. there is no proof that this might have been one of them. that there is no proof that this might have been one of them.- there is no proof that this might have been one of them. that is the interesting — have been one of them. that is the interesting thing _ have been one of them. that is the interesting thing about _ have been one of them. that is the interesting thing about all- have been one of them. that is the interesting thing about all of- have been one of them. that is the interesting thing about all of this . interesting thing about all of this isn't it? that no one can really be sure what is going on because the russian state has been so successful at spreading propaganda and keeping people guessing. just in terms of where this could go next, what are the possible scenarios that you see? that's a really good question, anywhere we need to wait. there are

forjoining us. what have you made of today's events with this very public challenge from mr prigozhin? indeed, it is a very vocal situation and we have been carefully monitoring it since last night and there are some tensions with the wagner group, and the ministry of defence, have been taking place for a definitely but they wanted to note is part of our political culture is the dominant power of state, so the power of the state is something that we reserve, it makes us secure and any actions taken against the constitutional order, against the power of the state, taken as treason. and with prigozhin's actions, it is betrayal definitely

and it is not beyond our understanding, we can understand, it is an understandable situation, but it is not something that can be accepted widely by russian people because we are the same nation, same people, we have a common goal and a different aim to achieve. ijust different aim to achieve. i 'ust want, different aim to achieve. i 'ust want. sorry i different aim to achieve. i 'ust want. sorry to i different aim to achieve. i 'ust want, sorry to jump �* different aim to achieve. i 'ust want, sorry tojump in, h different aim to achieve. ijust want, sorry to jump in, but. different aim to achieve. ijust want, sorry tojump in, but i l different aim to achieve. ijust . want, sorry tojump in, but i want to bring in a new sign from the russian foreign ministry, the spokeswoman calling on russians to rally around putin. olga, you are talking about national duty, why is there a need to call on russians to rally around putin? does prigozhin have a following? is there a sense there is a danger that putin could lose its support to prigozhin? there

is a situation _ lose its support to prigozhin? there is a situation under _ lose its support to prigozhin? mr? is a situation under development are still now and the unity around putin and the constitutional order is that what we have and it is maybe an extraordinary situation but i can assure you that there is high support of the special military operation. it is notjust against ukraine but we understand there is this conflict with western countries and just underlying unity is just a normal thing and it is not like this. ., ., , normal thing and it is not like this. ., . , ., , . , normal thing and it is not like this. ., ., , ., this. how has prigozhin been able to ull this

other parts of europe and the german government have said they are closely monitoring events in russia. we have also heard from the uk foreign ministry confirming that there are reports of military tensions in russia's rostov region and a risk of further unrest across russia. we continue to bring you all the latest as it comes. we heard from president putin earlier calling this a betrayal and treason following this dramatic challenge by the chief of the wagner mercenary force. all the latest here for you on a bbc news. stay with us. heat and humidity continues to build for some of us this weekend, perhaps those temperatures culminating on sunday. our weekend looks very warm,

not only by day boats and at night. we could see some thunder downpours developing. saturday meant to stay misty and murky for much of the day by the coast with a few light showers for the north of scotland but sunshine is a strong and will punch holes in the cloud and those tempea rtu res punch holes in the cloud and those tempeartures will respond after a mild start to saturday, temperatures may well pique with highs of 29, possibly 30 degrees. as we move out on saturday and sunday, high pressure is just drifting a little bit further east so we tap into more humidity from the inner continent and at the same time but there is where the front foot ascent from the north—west where the two meeting it could go off with a bang. thundery downpours developing across the north, perhaps that thundery rain are not really reaching centre and south—east england during daylight hours. we might see top temperatures

getting to 31, 30 2 degrees which is quite humid indeed. out of sunday and monday, is that front moves through, it introduces the yellow colours, somewhat fresher conditions are likely to follow behind and on monday there will be some turnaround. temperatures are still around where they should be orjust above average. because he temperatures 23 or 2a degrees. is a move out of monday and tuesday, another area of low pressure pushing and. isobars increasing, winds will strengthen, but it will bring the heaviest of the rain of the most unsettled weather once again into the far north and west. england and wales that may well cling onto dry and sunny moments, increasing amounts of cloud but nevertheless a pleasant enough at the centre comes

through. it will turn increasingly wet in the far north of scotland. 15 to 19 degrees here and highest values of 2a, 75 fahrenheit. wednesday, we will keep an eye on this area of low pressure because we could see gusty winds, gales are potentially likely in scotland but a long way offjust yet. wet and windy weather into the far north—west, some sunshine elsewhere and with a greater chance of more sunshine on wednesday, may be a greater chance of seeing those temperatures bounce back up to 25, which is simpler let's look a little further ahead. there are signs that this unsettled weather will stick with us a while. the reason being is thejet stream. it will intensify and dip down to the south of us and once we are on the south of us and once we are on the northern edge of the jet stream, low pressure tends to form and keep things pretty unsettled. those lows are likely to stay with us so as we look further ahead, there is the potential to see some showers or longer spells of rain. notjust in

the north but even across parts of england and wales. that will come as welcome news for gardeners and growers. not all doom and gloom. when we get sunshine it will still feel pleasant fed late june when we get sunshine it will still feel pleasant fed latejune at when we get sunshine it will still feel pleasant fed late june at sun. take care. you are watching bbc news, these are the headlines. president putin says russia are in the mist of unarmed mutiny and admits his forces are not in control of this sudden city of rostov.

military headquarters in rostov. the governor of rostov has told the public to avoid the area. there is increased security with what is being called anti—terror measures. the motorway which links the russian capital with cities in the south is closed because of a military convoy thatis closed because of a military convoy that is moving along it. the kremlin has called for progozhin's arrest with top russian generals telling wagner forces to stand down. the russian president has given a tv address and has said russia is facing a betrayal. here is that address by mr putin to the russian nation. , , ., , ., address by mr putin to the russian nation. , , . , . ., nation. russia is engaged in a fierce fight — nation. russia is engaged in a fierce fight for _ nation. russia is engaged in a fierce fight for its _ nation. russia is engaged in a fierce fight for its future. - nation. russia is engaged in a fierce fight for its future. the | fierce fight for its future. the entire military information might of the west has been sent against us.

we are fighting for our independence, for our right to remain russia. a country with 1000 years of history. today, the fate of our people is being decided. we need to the consolidation of all forces, everything has to be discarded that weakens us. anything that can be used and is being used to subvert us from within. therefore, any actions that splitters are a betrayal of our people, a betrayal of the comrades that are fighting on the front line, a knife in the back of our people. this was struck russia in 1917 when russia was waging the first world war, a victory was stolen from us.

this turned into a huge upheaval, the destruction of the army and the state. the loss of huge territories. as a result, tragedy. russians killing russians, civil war. and a benefit was derived by various political adventurers, foreign powers, that are tearing the country apart. we shall not let this happen again, we will defend our people and our state. again, we will defend our people and ourstate. including again, we will defend our people and our state. including against internal strife. when personal ambitions take over from faith in our own people and the cars for which the soldiers of the wagner

group are fighting shoulder to shoulder. those who liberated the villages and towns, they fought and gave their lives for new russia. those who are pushing the country towards anarchy. i shall repeat, any internal mutiny is a serious threat to our state, our nation, it is a blow to our people and our actions to defend the state against the threat will be harsh. those who constantly judge treason, threat will be harsh. those who constantlyjudge treason, blackmail and terrorist methods will be

inevitably punished. they will answer before the law and our people. the armed forces and other state authorities have received the necessary orders, additional measures of anti—terrorist nature are now in force in moscow and other regions. action will be taken to stabilise the situation in rostov, it remains difficult, in fact this government and military administrations have been blocked. as the president of russia and the supreme commander—in—chief, as a citizen of russia, i shall do everything to defend the country. to defend the constitution under the freedom of people, those who organised and prepared the armed mutiny, those who took up arms against their comrades have betrayed russia and will answer for it. those

who are being drawn into this crime, i urge them not to make this irreparable mistake. i will defend everything that is sacred to us and together with our motherland we will overcome any trials and be even stronger. overcome any trials and be even stronrer. ., ., , overcome any trials and be even stroner. . . , . overcome any trials and be even stronrer. . . , . �* , stronger. that was vladimir putin's address to the _ stronger. that was vladimir putin's address to the nation, _ stronger. that was vladimir putin's address to the nation, denouncing | address to the nation, denouncing that mutiny. let's show you some pictures released from the wagner military group reporting to share progozhin with armed men in a rostov. wagner says these pictures were taken at the headquarters in rostov and that in this clip you can see him arguing with deputy defence

minister and the general. the bbc is yet unable to verify the exact location of these pictures. there is a lot of action and reaction with this story. our reporter is in the newsroom and has been monitoring developments. this newsroom and has been monitoring developments-_ newsroom and has been monitoring developments. as you can imagine, there has been _ developments. as you can imagine, there has been a _ developments. as you can imagine, there has been a lot _ developments. as you can imagine, there has been a lot of _ developments. as you can imagine, there has been a lot of reaction, - there has been a lot of reaction, particularly from across europe, to the events in russia. i want to start off with what the uk defence ministry as saying. they are calling this... they are saved to represent the most significant challenge to the most significant challenge to the russian state in recent times. they have issued quite a long and detailed, what they call intelligence update. i willjust read you a few of the lines. they said that the feud between the wagner group and the russian military has now escalated into outright military confrontation. they say that the wagner group forces have crashed from occupied ukraine into at least two locations. we've been talking a lot about rostov, they say that the wagner group is certainly occupying key

sites including the hq which runs russia's military operations in ukraine. the uk also says that further wagner groups are moving north, almost certainly aiming to get to moscow. they also say there has been very limited evidence of any fighting between the wagner forces and the russian military as they progress. they also say that over the coming hours, what they call the loyalty of russia's security forces and especially the russia national guard will be key to how this crisis plays out. they are also suggesting that there is a risk of further unrest across russia. that is the latest from the uk. the german government say they are monitoring developments closely as you would expect. we have also had a statement from the lycee palace in paris. they say that president back and is closely monitoring the situation in russia and they remain focused on supporting ukraine. we've

also heard from poland's president, of course, poland has a border with russia and the president has held consultations with the prime minister and the minister of defence about the situation. the president tweeted that, in connection with the situation in russia, we held consultations with the prime minister and the ministry of defence as well as with allies. interestingly, he is saying that he had spoken to allies as well and he adds that the course of events beyond our eastern border is monitored on a non—going basis. we are also being told that the white house, from the white house, that president biden has been briefed on matters. we also had more from moscow itself. via the belarusian president's telegram channel, they are saying that president putin has spoken to his long—time alley in belarus. he has informed him about what they said was events in russia. it does seem that president putin is

talking to his long—time ally in belarus. ijust want talking to his long—time ally in belarus. i just want to point out that the bbc news live page is up and running, of course, there active elements across europe and russia that are all coming into the newsroom here. we have a team of journalists working here and around europe to bring you the latest. you will find it on the bbc news life page and interestingly, they have just posted a telegram message from the head of the wagner group, saying that all 25,000 others are ready to die. you can read that, and literally, as i speak a new update has come in. what has triggered the rebellion in russia and what is behind it? you can find out all of that background information, if you are just that background information, if you arejustjoining us and are not quite understanding who the wagner group are and how their are key to the developments in ukraine and what they are doing now, then this is the best place to find it. it set bbc news life page and you will find it on the bbc news website. and also,

turmoil within the russian ranks. that has not happened, front lines have not collapsed, so the timing of this mutiny, if you like, is truly amazing. we don't know whether some of the proportion is acting on his own in a daredevil manner, thinking that he can force a political crisis, or whether the mutiny has been prepared, whether he has allies within the military and security structures within russia. whether it is all prepared and has deeper roots. that would be the decisive factor. has roots. that would be the decisive factor. �* , , ., roots. that would be the decisive factor. a ,, roots. that would be the decisive factor. a , , factor. as you say, it is hugely significant _ factor. as you say, it is hugely significant what _ factor. as you say, it is hugely significant what progozhin - factor. as you say, it is hugely l significant what progozhin might have around in terms of support. in terms of putin's and support, we have heard that he has ten spoken to the belarusian president. what is it setting that one of his first things

would be to brief the belarusian president about what is going on? putin has addressed russian people, so that completely dispel the rumours about putin being incapable, that he can be... he was very much there right in front of the camera. he sent signals that this is not on and that this is an internal manner. this is a stab in the back he said. he set to return to work and be calm, we are not going to tolerate it. that is very much what i president has done in 2016 when there was a military coup in turkey. so putin presented himself as somebody who is strong and in charge. certainly, putin will talk to the belarusian leader because he is very close to the wagner

operations. he doesn't want this to open a second front. i will not say that this is very significant, i think the internal situation and managing the internal crisis for putin is very much a priority. and putin is very much a priority. and in managing _ putin is very much a priority. and in managing that internal crisis, how do you suspect that he might go about it? we had some hints as you mentioned from his speech, he said that the response would be harsh, but do you see this becoming a negotiation with progozhin do you see it becoming a confrontation? i would think that the russian leadership will do everything to avoid military confrontation. for two are three reasons, first, they need wagner troops which have a really good military force to be able to fight at the front lines where the county defence of his

going on. they need this fighting force to be there. secondly, they are not quite sure whether the russian army is prepared to shoot at magna's troops. they are fighters, they are fellow russian citizens, they are fellow russian citizens, they possibly do not support this anti—state action but that does not mean that they would be prepared to fight them. the other thing is that they have not given up on negotiations. now, as we can see, there are some military commanders and people who can reach out to progozhin trying to negotiate and scale down the situation. they say they will have a dignified exit and all things will be forgotten. that has a very short window of opportunity because putin cannot

lose face, he cannot be seen as being too soft in negotiating with the enemy, there are bad memories of the enemy, there are bad memories of the russian leadership in the 90s negotiating with the chechen rebel leadership which is seen as a national humiliation. just to bring in another new sign, we are hearing officials in moscow occupied ukraine have expressed support for putin. officials impulsive ukraine occupied by moscow are expressing support for president putin. —— officials in ukraine. and a spokeswoman has asked her russians to support president putin. how should russians be thinking about how the actual soldiers in the

wagner units are thinking about this? because we have seen that line from a prigozhin saying all the 25,000 of us are ready to die. what is the hold that he has over the soldiers who are marching with him? because probably he has promised them something that he has allies that will become a civil conflict and that they will be joined by masses of people. the president of russia has warned against that possibility. i think that is what prigozhin is using to raise the stakes as high as possible. i do not think they are all ready to die, but it sounds good.— it sounds good. there is definitely a reminder _ it sounds good. there is definitely a reminder that _ it sounds good. there is definitely a reminder that not _ it sounds good. there is definitely a reminder that not believe - a reminder that not believe everything we hear, but it is important to keep looking at the evidence. thank you very much.

dr anna matveeva is a senior visiting research fellow from king's college london's russia institute. thanks for your time. to explain more on who the wagner group is — and their leader — here's our analysis editor ros atkins. the wagner group forcing some of the war�*s fiercest battles, including bakhmut, and lost many men. this is prigozhin laying flowers at fighters' graves earlier this year. it is estimated many have died in ukraine since december and it is believed the majority were russian convex. he is telling these men their senses will be quashed if they fight for wagner and many went to war and as the death toll spiralled, his relationship with the russian ministry had deteriorated. he posted furious rants on telegram and in

early may, surrounded by corpses of his fighters, he took aim again. russia to defence minister, head of the armed forces, and prigozhin has a reputation for the sort of outburst and brutality, for example this was his reaction when in november the wagner defector was allegedly killed with a sledgehammer. allegedly killed with a sled . ehammer. ., ,., allegedly killed with a sledrehammer. ., ., ., sledgehammer. prigozhin said a dog meets a dog — sledgehammer. prigozhin said a dog meets a dog is _ sledgehammer. prigozhin said a dog meets a dog is death, _ sledgehammer. prigozhin said a dog meets a dog is death, he _ sledgehammer. prigozhin said a dog meets a dog is death, he did - sledgehammer. prigozhin said a dog meets a dog is death, he did not - meets a dog is death, he did not condemn it and then began to use the image of a sledgehammer as a trophy image. bud image of a sledgehammer as a trophy imare. �* , image of a sledgehammer as a trophy imare.�* ,. ,, ,, image of a sledgehammer as a trophy imare. ,, ,,, image. and his lawlessness is nothinr image. and his lawlessness is nothing new- _ image. and his lawlessness is nothing new. in _ image. and his lawlessness is nothing new. in 1981 - image. and his lawlessness is nothing new. in 1981 he - image. and his lawlessness is nothing new. in 1981 he was i image. and his lawlessness is i nothing new. in 1981 he was sent image. and his lawlessness is - nothing new. in 1981 he was sent to prison for robbery and theft and when released in 1990, he became a hot dog salesman in saint

that statement was important. before then, prigozhin had always denied any connection with wagner. in fact, as one think tank documented,... what started in ukraine soon reached far beyond it. these are wagner fighters in syria supporting pro—government forces as russia's military was also doing. there are also multiple reports of wagner activity in africa including libya, mali, central african republic, sudan, mozambique and madagascar and its activities are varied.— its activities are varied. wagner has all types — its activities are varied. wagner has all types of _ its activities are varied. wagner has all types of activities - its activities are varied. wagner has all types of activities they i has all types of activities they engage in in sub—saharan africa, security, weapons provision, training, natural resource extraction.— training, natural resource extraction. this is all highly lucrative. — extraction. this is all highly lucrative, for _ extraction. this is all highly lucrative, for example - extraction. this is all highly i lucrative, for example politico

that we have had own response to this story. we have heard from the uk foreign ministry confirming that there are reports of military tensions in russia's rostov region and there is a risk of further unrest across russia. that line is important because numerous videos have been appearing online showing armed men and armoured vehicles surrounding the headquarters of russia's southern military district which is a key decision—making centre for the war in ukraine. at present, it is important to stress it is unclear whether the armed men are regular army seeking to secure the building or members of the wagner private military company. of course, we continue to look at and try to verify some of that imagery. we also heard from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman calling on russians to rally round president putin and we heard president putin had spoken to the leader of belarus,

resident lukashenko, informing him and that was according to the belarusian telegram channel. an insight into how else president putin has been responding to this. there is a linejust putin has been responding to this. there is a line just coming putin has been responding to this. there is a linejust coming in now and we are hearing from chechen leader saying his forces are ready to help put down the mutiny, showing support for president putin. we will bring you all the latest on these elements here on bbc news. stay with us. hello there. heat and humidity continues to build for some of us this weekend, perhaps those temperatures culminating on sunday. our weekend looks very warm, not only by day but also through the night.

uncomfortable for getting a good night's sleep. but as weather fronts push through from the west on sunday, we could see some thundery downpours developing. saturday will be a cloudy start for many, particularly out towards west—facing costs. it might stay misty and murky for much of the day with a few light showers for the north—west of scotland but the sunshine is strong and will punch holes in the cloud and those tempeartures will respond. after a mild start to saturday, temperatures may well peak with highs of 29, possibly 30 degrees. as we move out of saturday into sunday, high pressure isjust drifting a little bit further east so we tap into more humidity from the near continent and at the same time this weather front pushes in. where the two meet, could go off with a bang. we could see sharp, thundery downpours developing across western scotland, north—west england and north wales, perhaps that thundery rain not really reaching centre and south—east england during daylight hours. we might see some rain

through the night. top temperatures maybe 31, 32 degrees, which is really quite hotand humid indeed. out of sunday and monday, as that front moves through, it introduces the yellow colours, the warm russets are pushed off into the near continent, somewhat fresher conditions are likely to follow on behind and on monday it will be a quieter day. there is going to be a good deal of dry weather around. still some sunshine, so it will be pleasant enough, with a scattering of showers into the far north and west. and actually, temperatures still around where they should be orjust above average in the south—east. we could see temperatures around 23 or 2a degrees. as we move out of monday into tuesday, another area of low pressure pushing in off the atlantic. isobars increasing, winds will strengthen, but it will bring the heaviest but it will bring the heaviest of the rain and the most of the rain and the most unsettled weather once again unsettled weather once again into the far north and west. into the far north and west. england and wales may well cling onto some dry and sunny moments, increasing amounts of cloud from time to time but

nevertheless pleasant enough as the sunshine comes through. it will turn increasingly wet in the far north of scotland. 15 to 19 degrees here and highest values of 2a, that's 75 fahrenheit. wednesday, we will keep an eye on this area of low pressure because the southern flank of this low, we could see gusty winds, gales are potentially likely in scotland but a long way off just yet. wet and windy weather into the far north—west, some sunshine elsewhere and with a greater chance of more sunshine on wednesday, maybe a greater chance of seeing those temperatures bounce back up to 25, which is 77 farenheit. let's look a little further ahead. there are signs that this unsettled weather will stick with us a while. the reason being is thejet stream. it will intensify and dip down to the south of us and once we are on the northern edge of the jet stream, low pressures tends to form and keep things pretty unsettled. those lows are likely to stay with us so as we look further ahead, there is the potential to see some showers or longer spells of rain.

notjust in the north but even across parts of england and wales. that will come as welcome news for gardeners and growers. not all doom and gloom. when you get sunshine it will still feel pleasant for late june sun. take care. leadership which is seen as a national humiliation. live from london. this is bbc news. president putin says russia is in the midst of an armed mutiny — and admits his forces are not in control of the southern city of rostov—on—don. an internal mutiny is a serious
