leader to retreat. yevgeny prigozhin, the head of the wagner mercenary group, has been pictured apparently leaving the russian city of rostov—on—don — along with his troops. only yesterday a heavily armed column of wagner troops was heading from rostov—on—don towards moscow, where defences were being prepared. those troops got to around 300 miles south of the russian capital. then, at around 6.30pm uk time, prigozhin announced that he had agreed to stop the advance, in a deal brokered by the belarusian leader. with all the details, here's our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford. mutineers cheered as heroes. this crowd are shouting wagner, the name of the mercenary group that led me to —— putin had said treason a couple of hours earlier. in a day of

high drama. the wagner group had rolled into rostov on saturday morning, leasing attacks on city streets and taking over a military command post for the ukraine war. there, wagner's boss was filmed haranguing senior military figures. in extraordinary scenes, yevgeny prigozhin demanded the downfall of russia's defence minister and its chief of staff, accusing them of mishandling the war on ukraine. soon came reports of wagner troops heading north though they were very few images. this sign points to a place he's halfway to moscow. in the same region, a driver sees a roadblock. he says wagner has smashed through. a man finds his way home blocked by a trench dug into the tarmac. this march on moscow turned all eyes on yevgeny

prigozhin. he is a former convict who became a chef to vladimir putin but he did a lot of the kremlin�*s dirty work, too. disinformation from running troll farms to covert fighting in syria and ukraine. since the full—scale invasion, prigozhin had been recruiting soldiers from prisons but this weekend a dispute exploded. vladimir putin declared the mutiny of betrayal, a stab in the mutiny of betrayal, a stab in the back stock but it was a problem he himself had allowed to get out of hand. —— a stab in the back,. but the potentialfor hand. —— a stab in the back,. but the potential for clashes were clear. and then suddenly as it began, it was over. prigozhin said his men were turning around to avoid bloodshed and belarus announced it helped negotiate that. late last

night, pictures emerged of the man himself leaving for belarus as part of the climbdown deal. yevgeny prigozhin�*s next steps are unclear, like so much in this story. vladimir putin didn't win this showdown, he just survived it. for once, the russian strongman looked weak. sarah rainsford, bbc news. sarah rainsford joins us now. sarah, you were based in moscow for many years before the russian authorities expelled you. put this challenge into context for us — how significant are the events of the last 2a hours? i - how significant are the events of the last 24 hours?— the last 24 hours? i think it is hard to overestimate - the last 24 hours? i think it is hard to overestimate the - hard to overestimate the significance. i think this was an extraordinary day by any measure, for russia and for vladimir putin in particular, this was unprecedented. it was a really direct challenge to his authority. this was a feud between the defence ministry and the

wagner group of mercenaries which really was allowed to escalate to a point in which it represented a direct challenge to vladimir putin's authority. he had a man, essentially authority. he had a man, essentially a creature of his creation, once a loyal ally, a creature of his creation, once a loyalally, now a creature of his creation, once a loyal ally, now turning against him, threatening his own power, essentially, although it is hard to say exactly how this could have played out add to these troops carried on their march to moscow. the thing is that for vladimir putin at the moment this is a crisis averted, i don't think it is a crisis resolved. we don't know yet the future of the two men who he wanted removed from their posts, thatis wanted removed from their posts, that is the defence minister and the chief of staff. —— men that yevgeny prigozhin wanted removed. very powerful men in russian politics and for the moment they remain in their posts. we don't know what prigozhin is going to be doing in belarus and what he might be doing there. we also i think see that this does dent

mr putin cross authority. —— mr putin's authority. it is not clear how deeply he has been dented by this. ., how deeply he has been dented by this. . , , ., ., this. say there crisis averted that i wander in _ this. say there crisis averted that i wander in the _ this. say there crisis averted that i wander in the longer _ this. say there crisis averted that i wander in the longer term - this. say there crisis averted that i wander in the longer term howl this. say there crisis averted that - i wander in the longer term how weak and is president putin by what happened?— and is president putin by what ha ened? .,, ., ., ., happened? the fact it was allowed to ha en happened? the fact it was allowed to happen does — happened? the fact it was allowed to happen does show — happened? the fact it was allowed to happen does show a _ happened? the fact it was allowed to happen does show a error— happened? the fact it was allowed to happen does show a error of - happen does show a error of judgement on his part. the fact that this feud played out in public and it was obvious it was bitter and vitriolic. the kinds of words that were being thrown around, the kind of language mr prigozhin was using, putin was trying to... prigozhin owes putin a lot and has been doing the kremlin�*s dirty work for many years, a troll farms that he ran, st petersburg, he has been accused of meddling in elections from the us to other countries and even tried to

plot a coup in moldova. he is accused of all sorts of things. all of that at the behest of the russian authorities. if yevgeny prigozhin is authorities. if yevgeny prigozhin is a very important figure for vladimir putin so very difficult for vladimir putin so very difficult for vladimir putin to cut ties with him or try to cut him down but he really was pushed into this by the actions of mr prigozhin who acted because he was under pressure. his wagner group was under pressure. his wagner group was going to be disbanded and he was going to be incorporated into the defence ministry so in response he took this very radical steps of sending troops marching towards moscow. but so many questions. they were very few pictures of this column of troops and we don't really know entirely what was going on yesterday but certainly we know it was extremely dramatic and utterly unprecedented. fill" was extremely dramatic and utterly unprecedented. our correspondence there sarah rainsford, _ unprecedented. our correspondence there sarah rainsford, live - unprecedented. our correspondence there sarah rainsford, live in - there sarah rainsford, live in warsaw. our reporter simonjones is outside the foreign and commonwealth office in central london. simon, how has the uk government

responded to these events? well, i think here in the foreign office this morning officials are pausing for a moment of breath after what was an extraordinary 24—hour is in russia. i think there was some surprise of the speed of which this rebellion broke out and then equally, the speed at which it then apparently dissipated. there was real concern here, particularly because russia is of course a nuclear powers so the thought of as civil war breaking out there was extremely unpalatable. officially the line this morning here at the foreign office is that they are continuing to monitor the situation in russia very closely. we know that yesterday the foreign secretary james cleverly held a meeting at the government emergency cobra committee as well as analysing the situation on the ground in russia. a key focus of that was a safety of british citizens who live in russia and the advice from the foreign office remains that people from here should

not travel to russia under any circumstances given the volatile situation in the country. you know that james cleverly also held a meeting with other g7 leaders and the prime minister rishi sunak was also involved in diplomacy. we know that he spoke to the leader of the us, the leader of france and also the german chancellor and a key message coming out of those meetings was the ongoing support of the west alliance towards ukraine and the ukrainian people. now that the apparent coup as some see it has dissipated, there is going to be really analysis and watching very closely what happens next because officials here will understand very keenly that in the past when president putin has been under pressure some say he has been humiliated by what happened yesterday. he does have a tendency to lash out further concern here is whether that lashing out might lead

to increased activity, increased attacks within ukraine itself which will be a cause for concern here, although, given the withdrawal of the wagner group and that seems to be disbanded going ahead, it is unclear how successful any increased activity in russia on behalf of russia might actually be. —— increased in ukraine. professor sergey radchenko is an historian who has written extensively on russia during and since the cold war. hejoins us now from cardiff. professor radchenko, you tweeted last night that yevgeny prigozhin should take this dealfrom president putin "with a pinch of novichok". tell us what you mean by that. the situation is very unclear so when we say and hear that an agreement has been reached between

putin and prigozhin, we are not given details of this agreement apart from you got —— the exit to belarus, we have to take it all very cautiously. if i were prigozhin i would not trust putin and if i were putin i would be absolutely outraged by what prigozhin has done so we cannot say at this stage that this crisis has been settled. although it does seem that prigozhin simply backed down but the consequences of this are still to be seen long—term. i think your correspondence sarah was quite right by saying that putin had been weakened dramatically. can ou had been weakened dramatically. can you explain the relationship between prigozhin and president putin and how it changed and how important they are to each other. putin obviously. — they are to each other. putin obviously, prigozhin - they are to each other. putin obviously, prigozhin is - they are to each other. putin - obviously, prigozhin is supposed they are to each other. plii “i obviously, prigozhin is supposed to be the underling. prigozhin had the

wagon a group that pursued russia —— wagner group that pursued russian interest in africa. he was also crucial to putin's efforts to meddle in the last american presidential elections so prigozhin has been a loyal puppet and no—one would have predicted that he would rise up against his master in the sort of dramatic way that he did. nevertheless a couple of months ago prigozhin did lash out against somebody he called happy grandpa and people began to speculate that this was particularly a reference to putin and putin seems to be uncertain about what to do. he was sort of floating above this whole conflict. although in the end he did it seem side with the ministry of defence and his decision to disband wagner which is a limit was supposed to happen byjuly first and prigozhin understanding time was running out decided to lash out

against putin in this dramatic way. and how damaging is this for putin? how dangerous is it and what does it mean for the war in ukraine? than? mean for the war in ukraine? any time ou mean for the war in ukraine? any time you have — mean for the war in ukraine? any time you have a _ mean for the war in ukraine? my time you have a failed coup mean for the war in ukraine? jifiy time you have a failed coup in russia or the soviet union, failed coup, considerthe 1990 russia or the soviet union, failed coup, consider the 1990 ii russia or the soviet union, failed coup, consider the 1990 11 against gorbachev. that lasted over three days and then a few months down the road that led to the breakdown of the soviet union because the political authority was fatally undermined in 1917 there was a march on st petersburg by a general who then also failed butjust on st petersburg by a general who then also failed but just a on st petersburg by a general who then also failed butjust a few months down the road we have the collapse of the provisional government and the bolshevik revolution. so all of thatjust serves to show that cu is do not go without consequences and although this particular coup, although we're

not sure about the consequences and we do not know what will happen, i suppose it failed, i did the consequences down the road for russia will be quite destabilising. for ukraine that is of course good news because a week russia is a free ukraine. ~ ., ,. news because a week russia is a free ukraine. ~ ., y., , . , . ukraine. would you expect -- expect ukraine. would you expect -- expect ukraine to be — ukraine. would you expect -- expect ukraine to be watching _ ukraine. would you expect -- expect ukraine to be watching this _ ukraine. would you expect -- expect ukraine to be watching this very - ukraine to be watching this very closely and potentially making a move? ., . . , closely and potentially making a move? ~ . ., , ., ., closely and potentially making a move? a, ., , ., ., , , move? ukrainians have of course been on the move — move? ukrainians have of course been on the move and _ move? ukrainians have of course been on the move and pursuing _ on the move and pursuing a counteroffensive against the russians and making moderate gains. that will continue and demoralisation in the russian ranks is great use for ukraine. —— great news. but i would not say that we should expect imminent collapse of the russian ranks. it may happen and it may well not happen. the russians may continue their first resistance —— fierce resistance for some time. thank you for your time and expertise this morning. we will try

to make sense of the developments over the last 24 hours across the programme this morning but there is other news and weather to bring you, so we go to matt, who has details on the hot, humid, sticky note. it was quite close, is that a technical term? . , , , quite close, is that a technical term?, ,, ., term? that sums it up perfectly. it was a very — term? that sums it up perfectly. it was a very muggy _ term? that sums it up perfectly. it was a very muggy and _ term? that sums it up perfectly. it was a very muggy and humid - term? that sums it up perfectly. it| was a very muggy and humid night. here on the northeast coast of scotland. a beautiful start of the day, temperatures hovering above 20 degrees. humid air will be replaced later today and into tomorrow but before it does, we could see a chance of thunderstorms developed, especially going through the afternoon across parts of central and northern england and also across scotland. that is because fresh air is trying to push on from the atlantic. at the moment we have winds coming from the south. between those two, this waterfront, which is this area of cloud which have been watching and throughout the night, especially through ireland. it is

producing some heavy rain to start the day. that will continue to work across northern ireland for the next few hours. there could be some thunder. as it pushes in across scotland and into northern england, particularly in the afternoon, we could see that developed. some showers south of that after a sunny start but most areas will stay dry. across east scotland and the northeast of england there could be the most severe forms of the early part of the afternoon and evening. the sunshine loss longus from lincolnshire down to the southeast, 30- 32 lincolnshire down to the southeast, 30— 32 degrees. but to the west, things are turning more comfortable as we see the day out with temperatures around 18 or 19 degrees. sunshine in northern ireland. this will clear through in the first part of the night. clear skies then take us into tomorrow morning. just a few showers in the west of scotland. but this may look more welcome to many of you. temperatures tonight will drop down to a little bit lower than we have

seen through recent notes. it will be fresher, but the homes retain some heat for a little longer, so it could be another uncomfortable night tonight. monday, winds from the west not the south, so a pleasant summer day for many. some showers in scotland and northern ireland, an isolated one or two for england and wales. mostly dry. cutting over later in the day. temperatures close to be where we should be at this point injune, 17—24. monday night into tuesday, the next weather system comes in. we will see the progression of the weather front coming from the atlantic next week. more of a changeable week. tuesday will see lots of cloud across the country, brightest and the northeast and southeast of the uk, but outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, perhaps a heavier burst or two, 16— 23 degrees. but what we will see, even though we have seen temperatures by day drop, tuesday night into wednesday will be a humid

and muggy night once again. the rest of the week, temperatures close to where we should be injune throughout, but further rain at times. not a washout of the week, but a change for the weekjust gone. back to you. but a change for the week 'ust gone. back to you.— back to you. thank you, back to you later in the — back to you. thank you, back to you later in the programme. _ let's be up—to—date with some of the other stories. the prime minister has said the government will publish its long—awaited plans for nhs staffing in england later this week. an earlier draft version said the number of training places for doctors and nurses needed to double — although rishi sunak has not confirmed this will happen. he's been speaking to the bbc�*s sunday with laura kuenssberg programme. what will represent is the largest expansion in training and workforce in the history of the nhs. but it will also draw the latest innovations and techniques to streamline the process from classroom to clinic because it is right that healthcare adapts and evolves as needs change, and it will

support the nhs. this is the nhs's plan and it is right we back to do it. and it will mean people can have confidence that doctors and nurses and gps that we need will be there and gps that we need will be there and we can reduce our reliance on foreign healthcare professionals. investigators in canada have boarded the ship used to launch the titan submersible, in a bid to understand what caused the vessel's catastrophic implosion. flags on board the polar prince were at half—mast as it docked in stjohns in newfoundland. the titan was on a dive to the wreck of the titanic when it broke apart, killing all five people on board. all state secondary schools in england now have access to a potentially life—saving defibrillator, the government has announced. last year, the department for education promised the device would be fitted in every state school in england by the end of this academic year. the equipment — used to shock a person's heart when it has stopped beating — is also being installed in primary and special schools.

the glastonbury music festival reaches its finale today after three days of live music. sweet child of mine plays the us rockers guns n roses headlined the main pyramid stage last night but today's main attraction comes from much closer to home, as sir eltonjohn plays his first ever glastonbury, which is also his last ever uk gig. these fans have been telling the bbc�*s colin paterson which of his classic tracks they're hoping to hear. he hasn't played the song in ten years. it will be his opening song. how do you feel —— can you feel the love tonight.

"pushed to the brink" is the sunday mirror headline on the growing tensions between the russian president vladimir putin and his mercenary leader, yevgeny prigozhin. an image of armed men in rostov—on—don features on the front page of the mail on sunday, as the paper questions whether vladimir putin bribed the wagner leader to quit russia after the rebellion. the sunday telegraph dedicates its entire front page to the story, reflecting on the day rostov—on—don woke up to be on the front

line. and the observer's headline focuses on the wagner chief's claim that he stopped the march into moscow "to avoid bloodshed" on the streets of russia. now there are loads of stories inside the papers. varying degrees of quality, but i love this one, because matt was telling us the weather is quite nice. you might be thinking about having a barbecue this weekend. maybe not a great idea if you are trying to maintain any sort of relationship — 30% of barbecues, apparently, and up in a row. not sure how they managed to determine that, but it all comes down to older people more likely to be chilled while doing the barbecuing, younger people not. 8% fought over side dishes, 6% rowed over who had the last sausage. i

don't think i have ever argued over who is in charge of the barbecue. ida who is in charge of the barbecue. no but everybody has an opinion on it. that is the problem, don't you find? because they are always quite social occasions, most people over, but sometimes you just need to concentrate, and you want them to go away so you can barbecue in peace. you need to be able to concentrate. this is a story — we have had a lot of the dogs and perhaps the not so pretty dogs. and this dog here has been named the world's ugliest dog. can you see that? not pretty. scooter is a chinese crested mutt, adopted this year from an animal charity. what a claim to fame. look at the trophy _ charity. what a claim to fame. look at the trophy that _ charity. what a claim to fame. look at the trophy that they _ charity. what a claim to fame. look at the trophy that they have one. the trophy is a little prettier, it must be said.— the trophy is a little prettier, it

russian state media reported the charges of treason against those wagner mercenaries will be dropped.

boasting as wagner group have taken it without firing a shot but who is this man challenging russia's leaders? yevgeny prigozhin began as a criminalfrom st petersburg. after leaving jail he began selling hot dogs but then graduated to running expensive restaurants. he caught the attention of russia's leader, leading him to be known as a putin's chef. he leading him to be known as a putin's chef. .., leading him to be known as a putin's chef. .. ., ., leading him to be known as a putin's chef. ., ., ., , chef. he catered to world leaders when they visited, _ chef. he catered to world leaders when they visited, even - chef. he catered to world leaders | when they visited, even america's president but also became rich from the lucrative military contracts. he began to carry out operations around the world on behalf of the kremlin, even interfering in america's 2016 election but prigozhin began —— became best known as head of wagner, and often brutal private mercenary group working to the kremlin's agenda. it has been operating across the middle east and africa, including syria, libya and mali, allowing putin to project power without being directly involved, but

it is in the last year in ukraine that it has really come to the fore. as putin's plans for a quick victory faded, prigozhin's forces undertook some of the heaviest fighting. some of them came from prisons. here is prigozhin recruiting them in return for an early release. laying flowers on the graves of those who died helped him cultivate an image in russia as a nationalist hero, one who would fight harder in ukraine. but battles like ken buck moot led to growing tension between prigozhin and the regular russian military leadership —— bakhmut. he regularly said that his own men were being used as cannon fodder. prigozhin claimed russia's soldiers had been let down by their leaders and his

attacks on them became increasingly outspoken. it was clear one side or other would have to move are bringing what had been a simmering crisis to the boil. that was our security correspondent gordon corera reporting. will talk a bit more about that and what it could all matters —— what happens next. now to nina kruscheva, a professor of international affairs who has written books on vladimir putin. she joins us from moscow. professor krusheva, two weeks ago you described yevgeny prigozhin as russia's new rasputin. what did you mean by that, and does the comparison still stand, in light of recent events?

when russia is weak it doesn't project a strength as it is trying to, as it was in 1917 and before 1917 before the bolshevik revolution with nicholas ii. nicholas ii, as you remember, as we all remember, the message could —— mystical. putin was the one because the system, it was the one because the system, it was in such written disarray that they were looking for advice and suggestions and potential ways out of problems and this mystical monk. the same way prigozhin, yevgeny prigozhin is now in the army is in disarray and putin's power even when it says it is strong is actually obviously incredibly weak, looks for the army militia to fight in ukraine and at least project some victories. so that is what i was trying to say is that the sign of collapse of the

kremlin is so obvious because it does use outside sources, very questionable and quite illegitimate sources, to push up its power to keep its power going. i5 sources, to push up its power to keep its power going. is vladimir putin significantly _ keep its power going. is vladimir putin significantly weakened - keep its power going. is vladimir putin significantly weakened by l putin significantly weakened by this? i putin significantly weakened by this? ., putin significantly weakened by this? ~' ., , , putin significantly weakened by this? ,, . , , ., ~ this? i think he has been weakened since he gained _ this? i think he has been weakened since he gained this _ this? i think he has been weakened since he gained this war— this? i think he has been weakened since he gained this war on - this? i think he has been weakened since he gained this war on vayberl since he gained this war on vayber 24th last year and since the war didn't really, hasn't gone his, the way he thought it would —— february 24 last year. he can withdraw the balances of power all around the world, that didn't work out so his position has been weakening and the war basically is the only thing that keeps the power going because while

the war is going on you kind of don't change presidents until something goes absolutely horrible but the appearance of prigozhin and his victories in fact a lead do this kind of rebellion because clearly that shows that the power is weak so with this rebellion even if it is resolved for now, it is yet another weakening of the president, it doesn't necessarily mean that the power collapses immediately, we don't know but it is yet another crisis that while sort of resolved, in everything, where is putin? where is he talking about this? the belarusian president lukashenko talked about his brokering the agreement. and prigozhin who is being sanctioned by europe is essentially military criminal,

suddenly he be —— he is being pardoned and shipped off, to, belarus. even if the resolution of these crisis is present there is really no resolution to the crisis and there are very many unanswered questions that unless putin speaks to them, somehow addresses them, his power is going to be continue —— is going to continue to be weaker and weaker but his idea of his own strengths is so grim because i don't think he sees reality the way reality is that he doesn't think he needs to address the issue and therefore it erodes his power even more. ., , y , therefore it erodes his power even more. ., , , , , , therefore it erodes his power even more. , more. you study this extensively but ou are more. you study this extensively but you are also — more. you study this extensively but you are also the _ more. you study this extensively but | you are also the great-granddaughter you are also the great—granddaughter of nikki da costa. talk to me a little bit about the importance of president putin's in a circle. the advisers, the military leaders, his supporters and allies around him. not only there in the kremlin and in moscow but in the region and how

important it is for him to keep them on site and we are starting to get a glimpse perhaps of that falling apart. do you think this is the beginning of the end for president putin? �* . ., ., ., putin? i'm afraid to say that because i — putin? i'm afraid to say that because i thought _ putin? i'm afraid to say thatj because i thought beginning putin? i'm afraid to say that i because i thought beginning of putin? i'm afraid to say that - because i thought beginning of the end for president putin was as i said february 24 and i still continue to think it is beginning of the end. once again, the beginning of the end can take quite a bit of time so there is really no schedule for that stop i thought it was interesting because yesterday some of the putin supporters, the ones in moscow, the duma speakers spoke for constitutional order, the ministry of foreign affairs but a lot of governors spoke for that just because they of course, and another thing to understand, i'm sure prigozhin was not alone in doing whatever he was doing, i'm sure he had some sort of support in and out

of the kremlin, it may be people who wanted the war, or fought the war or argued for the war with putin originally didn't think it was going correctly. it was going fast enough so it needed more of a forceful military and prigozhin to push it forward so to be even more patriotic than putin is but mostly they governors spoke once again for constitutional order because even if they want more war and want that war to be done with what the russian victory, goshen and his people are four criminals —— prigozhin. do you want these former criminals well—trained running around, big russian cities? or russian regions? in fact i was speaking to a lot of muscovites yesterday in the streets and they were saying whatever putin is, we certainly don't want prigozhin's rapists and murderers so

better the devil we know, better putin. there are some people in the regions especially that is to be said maybe the potential, the kgb general as well. putin was not a general as well. putin was not a general but also kgb, former kgb, one of putin's guards early on, that maybe this kind of, the power people maybe this kind of, the power people maybe they are really gearing towards potentially a change of power but once again we don't know that so for now putin seems to be the person who keeps them all equally aligned so before they really decided who can really take power without collapsing every other plan that is around putin.— plan that is around putin. really treat to plan that is around putin. really great to get _ plan that is around putin. really great to get your _ plan that is around putin. really great to get your inside. - plan that is around putin. really great to get your inside. thank i plan that is around putin. really i great to get your inside. thank you for being with us. professor of international affairs at the school

in new yorkjoining us from moscow. thank you. so many things to bigger part, people who know the country looking at what happened. sir tony brenton is a former british ambassador to russia. he joins us now from carcassonne in france. sir tony, you've been watching the situation closely — how much support did prigozhin have among both the ruling elite, and the people? with your knowledge of the country, how do you think this will affect? how much will they be being told about what is going on? i how much will they be being told about what is going on?- about what is going on? i think there has been _ about what is going on? i think there has been rather- about what is going on? i think there has been rather limiting | there has been rather limiting coverage in the russian so far. i just heard with respect nina kruscheva, that putin has been weakened, yes there has been lots of noise about what has happened with prigozhin but what i have not heard anywhere is any clear suggestion of anywhere is any clear suggestion of a name for someone to replace putin.

the fact is he has made himself in the middle of a very serious war that russia is fighting, he has around him elite people who have worked with him for decades. my instinct is that at this time the system will coagulate around as president and will hang onto him the foreseeable future, unfortunately. in your opinion, is this the most serious challenge to his authority that he has had in his time leading the country? it that he has had in his time leading the country?— the country? it has certainly been an unprecedented _ the country? it has certainly been an unprecedented set _ the country? it has certainly been an unprecedented set of- the country? it has certainly been an unprecedented set of events i the country? it has certainly been l an unprecedented set of events and looks very dangerous. actually, it is missing off quite quickly with lukashenko. and he is not going to do that. in a sense, putin has one. prigozhin has been sent off into exile, not very distant exile but exile. his group is going to be

amalgamated into the russian armed forces which was the aim from the beginning. there is no sign that this has affected russia's performance on the battlefront �*s where they are doing rather better than they have done up until now. the real damage is abroad and it has been a shot in the arm for the ukrainians who now see domestic disorder and an extra incentive to really push the offensive forward and in the west who have also seen domestic disorder and therefore their support ukraine will be reinforced.— their support ukraine will be reinforced. ., ., ,, ., . , reinforced. you talk about the west there, so reinforced. you talk about the west there. so tony. _ reinforced. you talk about the west there, so tony, how— reinforced. you talk about the west there, so tony, how should - reinforced. you talk about the west there, so tony, how should the - reinforced. you talk about the west | there, so tony, how should the west react to this do you think? this there, so tony, how should the west react to this do you think?— react to this do you think? as we are doing- _ react to this do you think? as we are doing. daddy _ react to this do you think? as we are doing. daddy as _ react to this do you think? as we are doing. daddy as she - react to this do you think? as we are doing. daddy as she goes, i react to this do you think? as we are doing. daddy as she goes, if| react to this do you think? as we - are doing. daddy as she goes, if you like, supplying arms and intelligence, supplying with all the help we can to place themselves in an advantageous position which is exactly what we want. putin is not going to get his objectives anyway. we have to get the water the

injection where the ukrainians are negotiating from some strength. i can go on about this for hours but very briefly however it looks as if the ukrainian much advertised counteroffensive is beginning to falter and if it does then we are in a position where both sides are bogged down and they will then be an increasing volume of demands for some sort of negotiation to get going. some sort of negotiation to get anoin. �* ., , ., some sort of negotiation to get anoin. �* ., ~' some sort of negotiation to get anoin. . ., ,, going. and do you think the fact that wagner's — going. and do you think the fact that wagner's troops _ going. and do you think the fact that wagner's troops have - going. and do you think the fact that wagner's troops have now. that wagner's troops have now retreated, do you think that is going to have an impact on the ukrainian counteroffensive at the moment? i ukrainian counteroffensive at the moment? ., ukrainian counteroffensive at the moment? ,, ., , ., , ukrainian counteroffensive at the moment? ,, ., , moment? i think it has to be said about wagner. — moment? i think it has to be said about wagner, the _ moment? i think it has to be said about wagner, the one _ moment? i think it has to be said about wagner, the one serious i about wagner, the one serious russian advanced that has been achieved over the last almost year it was done by taking back moot. i hate to say this, they are thugs and criminals. nevertheless, they are effective fighters and it is quite striking, one of the more striking images over the last few days was that as wagner withdrew yesterday

evening they were applauded by the local population and that lacks a strong feeling amongst certain segments of the russian population that they are capable of fighting the brutal aggressive nationalist war which quite a lot of russians are looking for. so yes, wagner's superiority will be a loss in military terms to russia and the ukrainians will be looking around for ways to take advantage of that. so tony brenton we will have to leave it there. they give your insight this morning. so tony brenton, former british ambassador to russia. it is approaching quarter to seven. you are watching breakfast. if you struggled to sleep last night, here is why. struggled to sleep last night, here is wh . ,., ., struggled to sleep last night, here is wh . , ., ., ., struggled to sleep last night, here iswh. ., . ., , is why. good morning, it certainly was sticky- _ is why. good morning, it certainly was sticky- my — is why. good morning, it certainly was sticky. my bedroom - is why. good morning, it certainly was sticky. my bedroom was - is why. good morning, it certainly was sticky. my bedroom was very | is why. good morning, it certainly . was sticky. my bedroom was very hot indeed last night as it was for many. look at some of the temperatures to start the day. this was that six a.m.. temperatures

that eastern side of england, the hottest of all. 30— 32 degrees. 25 in eastern scotland. compare that with 18 or 19 in northern ireland this afternoon as the pressure air pushes on. we go to tonight with some thunderstorms around, especially in the northeast of the uk. they were clear then with clearing skies, tonight could be a good deal more comfortable out there. not as hot as it has been. open the windows. it should feel pressure out there to begin with. that is because we have the air coming of the atlantic as we go to the start of the new we consider pushing up from the south. a different feel altogether on monday. a few showers in scotland, northern ireland, northern england, but most places will be dry with longer sunny spells. starting overfrom the places will be dry with longer sunny spells. starting over from the west later in the day, temperatures close to where we should be for this stage injune. 18— 19 degrees. warm in the

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 the facilities, 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. thanks for watching, we'll see you soon. bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sarah campbell. our headlines today: rebellion to retreat — a stand off between the kremlin and mercenary forces, which brought russia close to the brink of civil conflict, has ended during an extraordinary 24 hours for the country. the leader of the wagner rebels and his troops will not be prosecuted says president putin — but yevgeny prigozhin has been sent to belarus. we'll have analysis of what happens next for russia. the baton of hope touring the uk to bring light to those struggling with their mental health. england's tammy beaumont makes history at the ashes. _ she's become the first english woman to take a double century in a test match.

by the belarusian leader. with all the details, here's our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford. mutineers cheered as heroes. cheering and whistling. this crowd are shouting "wagner" — the name of the mercenary group that vladimir putin had accused of treason only hours earlier. the fighters were clearly among friends here. just one bizarre scene in a day of high drama. the wagner group had rolled into rostov on saturday morning, placing tanks on city streets and taking over a military command post for the ukraine war. there, wagner's boss was filmed haranguing senior military figures. he speaks russian. in extraordinary scenes, yevgeny prigozhin demanded the downfall of russia's defence minister and its chief of staff, accusing them of mishandling the war on ukraine. soon came reports of wagner troops heading north,

though there were very few images. this sign points to voronezh, that's already halfway to moscow. in the same region, a driver sees a roadblock. he says wagner have smashed through. further north still, a man finds his way home blocked by a trench dug into the tarmac. this march on moscow turned all eyes on yevgeny prigozhin. he's a former convict who became a chef to vladimir putin but he did a lot of the kremlin's dirty work, too. from disinformation by running troll farms, to covert fighting in syria and ukraine. since the full—scale invasion, prigozhin had been recruiting soldiers from prisons for some of the fiercest battles, but he'd also been feuding openly with russia's defence ministry and this weekend that dispute exploded. vladimir putin declared the mutiny of betrayal, a stab in the back.

but it was a problem that he himself had allowed to get out of hand. as a counter—terror operation was launched to defend the capital, the potential for clashes were clear. and then, as suddenly as it began, it was over. prigozhin said his men were turning round to avoid bloodshed and belarus announced it helped negotiate that. late last night, pictures emerged of the man himself leaving for belarus as part of the climbdown deal. yevgeny prigozhin's next steps are unclear, like so much in this story. vladimir putin didn't win this showdown, hejust survived it. for once, the russian strongman looked weak. sarah rainsford, bbc news. sarah rainsford joins us now. sarah, you were based in moscow for many years before the russian

authorities expelled you. how would you characterise the astonishing events have come in seemingly now gone?— astonishing events have come in seemingly now gone? gone for now but it isn't clear how _ seemingly now gone? gone for now but it isn't clear how that _ seemingly now gone? gone for now but it isn't clear how that happened - it isn't clear how that happened exactly, there is still so much we don't know about the deal that was done and opposing contra might —— compromise and we don't know the terms of the deal so it was really an extraordinary day, seeing a character like yevgeny prigozhin mount such an obvious and dramatic attack, essentially, on vladimir putin and sending his forces towards moscow threatening the authority of the russian leader in a way that had never happened in more than 20 years of putin's rule, that was absolutely unprecedented and really extraordinary to watch and then it unravelled almost as quickly as it has started, just as we were

beginning to wonder how things would develop, yevgeny prigozhin appeared to step back from the brink but we don't know exactly what the deal was or what he was offered and we don't know whether he got what he wanted because he was of course demanding for the two key figures of the military establishment in russia to stand down. the defence minister sergei shoigu and barrass off. as far as we understand those two are still in their post. —— gerasimov. it is unclear on what terms yevgeny prigozhin has now agreed to go to belarus and indeed what he is going to do there. is he going to retire gracefully or is he going to still be involved as a mercenary, as some kind of political military figure inside belarus? so much is still unanswered as —— after what is an incredible day. bud unanswered as -- after what is an incredible day.— incredible day. and we know wars like this is about _ incredible day. and we know wars

like this is about the _ incredible day. and we know wars like this is about the optics - incredible day. and we know wars like this is about the optics and i l like this is about the optics and i wonder what you can tell us, what you may know about how much people in russia were aware of events over the last 24 hours and what was the media able to tell them about the astonishing events of those last 24 hours? , . ., , astonishing events of those last 24 hours? , . . , ., astonishing events of those last 24 hours? , . . , ,, .,, hours? they certainly knew it was ha enin: hours? they certainly knew it was happening because _ hours? they certainly knew it was happening because they - hours? they certainly knew it was happening because they saw - hours? they certainly knew it was happening because they saw that| happening because they saw that national address by vladimir putin, going on television and announcing that what was happening was a stab in the back of russia, a betrayal of the country and was the kind of thing that he said could lead to civil war. thing that he said could lead to civilwar. he thing that he said could lead to civil war. he was really giving the absolute doomsday scenario to russians and describing an existential threat to their country. what he was calling for of course was for wagner to step back but for the russian people to step back and unite between —— forced them to unite between —— forced them to unite behind his leadership. he knows that many of those wagner fighters are seen as heroes in russia because they are fighting a war that many people support so to

come out against them would be difficult, to directly criticise them would be tough and he also needed to still try to assert himself as a figure of authority, a man still in control but i do think that this challenge by yevgeny prigozhin who in some ways is a man of britain's creation, so a challenge by a man who was once so loyal to him is something that has definitely entered putin's authority and has taken off the machine and change this idea of —— as someone who is a all—powerful authoritarian figure. he has been challenged and has seen a doctor for god i think this is a crisis averted rather than overcome. —— —— seen it off before. our correspondent andrew harding is in the donbas region of ukraine. andrew, tell us about the reaction in ukraine to these events — and whether this chaos in russia is seen as an opportunity to push the counter—offensive forward.

yes, ukraine watching these events in russia as closely as anybody. overnight, i don't think we can read too much into it but it was a fairly quiet night here and not so many russian air raids. that said there were missile attacks on the big southern city of zaporizhzhia and the neighbouring towns close to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, something the ukrainians are still very worried could be a side for potential russian sabotage, they still control the territory of that nuclear power plant. during the don bass, incoming from russian troops just across the front line near here. we know also that the ukrainians are continuing to push forward in certain areas further north and east of here in the city of back moot and further south. in a sense ukrainians are simply trying to push on with their counteroffensive plan while the

noise and uncertainty continues inside russia but clearly, the ukrainians would also be looking to see if there are any indications of, if you like, political after—shocks rippling through to russia's frontlines here in ukraine, will there perhaps be unexpected troop movements and signs of low morale amongst russian troops, science perhaps of wagner troops returning to the front line or leaving again and causing disruptions or infighting. clearly the ukrainians will be looking for opportunities to exploit on this long and so far very difficult to penetrate russian frontline. �* . frontline. andrew harding in the dunbar 's region _ frontline. andrew harding in the dunbar 's region of— frontline. andrew harding in the dunbar 's region of ukraine, - frontline. andrew harding in the l dunbar 's region of ukraine, thank dunbar �*s region of ukraine, thank you. —— donbas. our reporter simonjones is outside the foreign and commonwealth office in central london. simon, how has the uk government responded to these events? we heard from rishi sunak yesterday, expecting any further response from

downing street about what happened? sorry, it seems at this point we can't actually hear simon so we will just plug in the relevant wires and take you back to the foreign office a little later. but as we touched on there, we heard yesterday from rishi sunak saying the right thing to do was reallyjust sunak saying the right thing to do was really just to sunak saying the right thing to do was reallyjust to speak sunak saying the right thing to do was really just to speak to allies and make sure that the allies and particularly those of ukraine were alljoined up and all linkedin communication about what happened in a pretty astonishing 24 hours. lepers might look at some of the other implications especially from a military point of view. —— let's look. lord dannatt is a former head of the british army. he joins us from norfolk. it appears that the immediate threat from the wagner group has been averted as far as the kremlin and moscow is concerned but people will find it absolutely astonishing, an audacious move by those forces to

take on the kremlin. you audacious move by those forces to take on the kremlin.— take on the kremlin. you are absolutely — take on the kremlin. you are absolutely right _ take on the kremlin. you are absolutely right and - take on the kremlin. you are l absolutely right and whichever take on the kremlin. you are - absolutely right and whichever way you look at this, everybody comes out of this badly. there are no winners in this. if you reflect back to yesterday morning when president putin broadcasts to the nation, he was clearly rattled and clearly worried. he was talking about the threat from armed mutiny and he even wrote —— he invoked russian history so he saw this is definitely a challenge to his authority and the fact that a group like wagner took control of rostov and then started to advance towards must go really shakes up his authority. and, well, in the end prigozhin backed down or maybe it was part of his original deal. maybe he already this with president lukashenko of belarus and having pushed it as it as far as he could go, he was then going to be granted some form of exile to

belarus. i don't think we know the full story yet but it certainly leaves putin wounded. if this is not as it turns out the end of putin it could be the beginning of the end of putin. . , ., �* , ., putin. that is what we're trying to net a putin. that is what we're trying to get a sense _ putin. that is what we're trying to get a sense of. — putin. that is what we're trying to get a sense of, what _ putin. that is what we're trying to get a sense of, what the - putin. that is what we're trying to get a sense of, what the longer. putin. that is what we're trying to i get a sense of, what the longer term implications are of of this. talk to me about the military operation right now in ukraine. there is some suggestion that these wagner forces could bejoining russian forces. but we know it is not that simple, immediately there are big questions about their discipline, who the chain of command is and whether they are organised enough and crucially, what difference this could make to that ongoing war in ukraine from a military point of view, what is your assessment?— military point of view, what is your assessment? ~ , ., ., assessment? well, if you look at the russian army — assessment? well, if you look at the russian army theatre _ assessment? well, if you look at the russian army theatre right - assessment? well, if you look at the russian army theatre right from - assessment? well, if you look at the russian army theatre right from the | russian army theatre right from the 24th of february last year it has shown itself to be surprisingly chaotic —— russian are. and poorly

orchestrated from the top. what we're seeing now is very much the same. as far as wagner troops are concerned one of the contentious issues was whether having withdrawn from bakhmut and having withdrawn from bakhmut and having withdrawn from battle which was prigozhin's intention a little while ago, that his troops would be forced to or required to sign a contracts and join regular russian army theatre prigozhin opposed that. —— russian army theatre. —— russian army. all this is speaking to a pretty chaotic russian army. that said, they have said 4— six months to prepare very comprehensive defensive lines between themselves and the ukrainian forces and as far as we can tell those lines are holding. the ukrainian counteroffensive, much talked about, is under way, but we are in the preliminary phase whereby

the ukrainians are probing, pushing, trying to discover where the weaker or weakest points along the russian line is. and when they do that, and they will, that is the moment when they will, that is the moment when the 10-12 they will, that is the moment when the 10—12 attack brigades of well—trained, western equipped troops will be pushed into that we can point to try to get a break—in at a breakthrough. if that can happen relatively soon and indications are quite blurred as far as this is concerned, but if they can happen relatively soon they can take advantage of the chaotic circumstances and command and control amongst the russian forces. there is another question, it isn't clear from there is another question, it isn't clearfrom intelligence there is another question, it isn't clear from intelligence and there is another question, it isn't clearfrom intelligence and imagery that one has seen, the extent to which russians have reserved troops that they could manoeuvre to counter ukrainian break—in, or potential breakthrough. there is a big opportunity here for the ukrainians,

if they feel they have prepared the battlefield sufficiently to have the confidence to push and try to break—in and breakthrough. it will be interesting to watch this space over the next little while. absolutely. and i wonder, finally, i thought on the future of prigozhin? there is a danger he is painted as a have a go hero, someone who wants to take on the regime in the kremlin. but we mustn't forget that he has a ruthless, deadly legacy. iwonder what happens next to him? ilrrui’eilii. what happens next to him? well, remember _ what happens next to him? well, remember he _ what happens next to him? well, remember he is _ what happens next to him? well, remember he is a _ what happens next to him? well, remember he is a mercenary. - what happens next to him? -ii remember he is a mercenary. i think he will go wherever there is money. we mustn't forget by focusing too much of what he has been doing in ukraine that the wagner group under prigozhin has been very active in africa in a number of countries for a number of years. it was very active under him in syria. he has a track record of operating in various

countries in support of russia's widerforeign affairs countries in support of russia's wider foreign affairs objectives. i don't think we have heard the last of prigozhin. you may have gone to belarus to lick his wounds, but he came very close to challenging the centre of power in russia. it begs the question which was never tested — as his troops move towards moscow, would the regular army have stood against him? sometimes when you have against him? sometimes when you have a mutiny, what the army doesn't do is a significant as what they do. would planning shouldn't have had to use interior ministry troops, fsb troops to stop his march on moscow? —— would vladimir putin have had to use. we haven't heard the last of prigozhin. we may have begun to hear about the latter days of vladimir putin. it about the latter days of vladimir putin. , ., ,. ., ., , putin. it will be fascinating to see how it plays _ putin. it will be fascinating to see how it plays out- _ putin. it will be fascinating to see how it plays out. great _ putin. it will be fascinating to see how it plays out. great to - putin. it will be fascinating to see

confidence that the doctors and nurses and gps that we all need will be there and we can reduce our reliance on foreign trained healthcare professionals. investigators in canada have boarded the ship used to launch the titan submersible, in a bid to understand what caused the vessel's catastrophic implosion. flags on board the polar prince were at half—mast as it docked in st johns, newfoundland. the titan was on a dive to the wreck of the titanic when it broke apart, killing all five people on board. all state secondary schools in england now have access to a potentially life—saving defibrillator, the government has announced. last year the department for education promised the device would be fitted in every state school in england by the end of this academic year. the equipment — used to shock a person's heart when it has stopped beating — is also being installed in primary and special schools. the glastonbury music festival reaches its finale today after three days of live music.

then back to cardiff, bristol and birmingham. it then stops off at milton keynes and brighton before its final destination of london. quite the journey. quite thejourney. pleased quite the journey. pleased to say that mike mccarthyjoins us from glasgow. from the beginning of the journey. good morning. thank you for joining us this morning. tell us about the inspiration for this. good morninu. about the inspiration for this. good morning- yes. _ about the inspiration for this. good morning. yes, two _ about the inspiration for this. good morning. yes, two years _ about the inspiration for this. (limp. morning. yes, two years ago we lost our beloved son, ross, and ross left a long farewell letter. one thing he said in the farewell letter was please fight for mental health, the support isn't there. and what he meant by that is that he had suffered with severe depression for more than ten years. he went to ask the help and therapy and was put on a six—month waiting list. he died two weeks into the weight. once i got back on my feet i started to do research, given that in his dying moments ross had said please fight

for mental health. i found this huge societal catastrophe was something that we didn't talk about that there was very little public debate, very little political discourse, it wasn't covered very extensively in the media. and yet suicide is the biggest killer of under 35s in this country. not cancer, covid, drugs, road accidents, or war, country. not cancer, covid, drugs, road accidents, orwar, but country. not cancer, covid, drugs, road accidents, or war, but suicide. along with steve, we got together over a coffee and try to work out what little bit we could do. we came up what little bit we could do. we came up with the idea of a pattern of hope because the one thing that unites everyone who takes their own life is the complete loss of hope. —— baton. we wanted to bring a glimmer of hope to all those people out there suffering and in the same dark place. we wanted to point to the fact that there are armies of people out here who want to help, charities full of compassionate, caring people come here to help.

good morning, mike, ben here. the baton itself is quite meaningful, with thought into how it looks and how it is designed, if one of your runners could bring one forward, you could show is a little about why it is so significant and what it represents. is so significant and what it represents-— is so significant and what it reresents. ,, ., , ,, is so significant and what it reresents. ,, ., ,~' ~ represents. sure. let me ask - ali, can ou represents. sure. let me ask - ali, can you come _ represents. sure. let me ask - ali, can you come forward _ represents. sure. let me ask - ali, can you come forward with - represents. sure. let me ask - ali, can you come forward with the - represents. sure. let me ask - ali, i can you come forward with the baton, please? we were very lucky at the baton of hope, opposed by a company of goldsmiths and silversmiths to the royal family. of goldsmiths and silversmiths to the royalfamily. they said of goldsmiths and silversmiths to the royal family. they said we have heard what you are doing, can we design and craft the actual baton? they cannot with this exquisite piece, full of symbolism. even inside you can't see it but there is an inscription from desmond tutu which says that hope is being able to see that there is light, despite all the darkness. you have a central

latticework here which represents groups of people holding each other aloft in a circular community, and then, ali, the semi— coal and at the end of the baton is something that is used quite a lot these days, especially by younger generations, to denote the fact that though they may have tried to take their own lives, they are grateful that they lived, and they found salvation and they found hope, and this baton is telling people out there there is hope, no matter how difficult things seem. that there are people who want to help you and will help you. one of the things that has happened, partly as a result of having this sort of beautiful 1—off objects created is that people have rallied to the cause, all over the country, like here in glasgow, volunteers have come forward, pattern bearers have come forward, pattern bearers have come forward, pattern bearers have come forward. and it will be passed on, hand—to—hand, largely by people who have lost a loved one to

suicide or people who have survived a suicide attempt. —— baton—bearers. people that want to show that there is a life beyond the darkness and that there is hope. image of the cities, people have come forward in the hundreds. we have had more than 800 applications. all across the city, we have been amazed, we never imagined when we started this charity a year ago that it would grow to the extent that it has. it has been largely because, we think, that the time has come, there is something in the air that people feel it is time to talk about

something like this. we can't president of the any more. we can't wait with the stigma around suicide. the three quarters of the people to take suicide, they are men, and there is a reason for that. we have to ask ourselves questions and one of those questions is if suicide is preventable and all the weekly dominic king clinicians and experts around the country agree that it is, why are we preventing it? these statistics have stagnated, now, for more than 15 years, so the baton of hope, we think it is time to challenge the status quo and answers questions and to get people talking. if nothing else, if people take nothing else away from what all of these people are doing, it is please talk, please listen, and, if you do, there will be hope. it talk, please listen, and, if you do, there will be hope.— there will be hope. it has been really inspirational _ there will be hope. it has been really inspirational talking - there will be hope. it has been really inspirational talking to i there will be hope. it has been l really inspirational talking to you this morning and the best for the baton relay. heading to edinburgh

this morning on the first part of that relay. it is time for sunday with laura kuenssberg. later on. hello laura, you'll be speaking to the prime minister later. we have our first we have ourfirst big, long interview with the prime minister rishi sunak in the first few months, the first time in a while he sat down for a big conversation and we talked to him about what seems like mayhem in moscow but we also ask him about something that is on so many people's mines, how are people going to afford their mortgages with straights going up and up and up. we're to unpick what has happened in russia with bbc editor steve rosenberg and he will help us decode what is really going on. lisa nandy from blayne lisa nandy from labour.

and at the top table here with me today, comedian ben elton, pollster luke trill, rick astley, and also the wife of the russian dissident who was poisoned and died, it is thought, at the hands of the putin regime so a huge amount to talk about. some heavy stuff but it is sunday mornings i promise we will have a bit of fun, too. see you at nine a.m.. have a bit of fun, too. see you at nine a-m- -_ nine a.m.. really busy show as alwa s. nine a.m.. really busy show as always- abci — nine a.m.. really busy show as always. abc1 at _ nine a.m.. really busy show as always. abc1 at nine _ nine a.m.. really busy show as always. abc1 at nine o'clock. i nine a.m.. really busy show as| always. abc1 at nine o'clock. -- nine a.m.. really busy show as - always. abc1 at nine o'clock. -- bbc always. abc1 at nine o'clock. —— bbc one. we have been trying to look at what has happened in russia over the last 36 hours. the bbc verify team has been sifting through the evidence to help paint a clearer picture of what's happening. joe inwood is from bbc verify and joins us now. joe, it's always hard to tell truth from propaganda in russia, it must be particularly challenging in this situation.

there is a russian word for it which means military deception and we have seen this throughout the course of the war in ukraine and for many years, actually. you don't know what is true, what is fact, what is fiction. i was in ukraine for a long time and try to work out the different messages you got, which ones you could believe and what was being said and there are techniques being said and there are techniques being used and the bbc has set up a new unit, bbc verify, and they have been going through all of this material, trying to use satellite imagery and all sorts of open source investigation techniques to try and work out and you can see across the bbc�*s output, that material where we can say for certain it has been verified and it is a bit of it. —— it clears a bit of the fog. the wagner group has operations well beyond russia and ukraine. what are the ramifications of this dispute for the wider world, and developing nations in particular? i think that is a really interesting

thing to come out of this. the wagner group has come to prominence in the ukraine war but they have been around for a long time. back in 2018i been around for a long time. back in 20181 was in the african republic tried to track them down because they were there. they have their tentacles right across the world. we have seen in syria but especially in africa and there are countries there, —— places like the central african republic where they are said to be brought in by the government to be brought in by the government to fight rebel groups or in mali where they have been brought in after a couple of military coups. they have been brought into fight an islamist rebellion. in places where there are significant wagner group boots on the ground, what will happen to them? we have seen over the last 24 hours does seem to be the last 24 hours does seem to be the end of the wagner group as we have known it before. previously this organisation has been working at the behest of the kremlin and now there has been this aborted attempt to march on moscow. he is going to be out in the cold. we have seen yevgeny prigozhin, the leader of wagner, he is going into exile. what

happens to his organisation? the significant mineral rights they have. there are real questions here about notjust have. there are real questions here about not just what have. there are real questions here about notjust what is going to, what will be the effects beyond the ukraine war but right across the developing world. gk. ukraine war but right across the developing world.— ukraine war but right across the developing world. 0k, joe inwood, from the bbc _ developing world. 0k, joe inwood, from the bbc verified _ developing world. 0k, joe inwood, from the bbc verified team, - developing world. 0k, joe inwood, from the bbc verified team, i - developing world. 0k, joe inwood, | from the bbc verified team, i know you will be across this and bring us any updates —— bbc verify. such a big issue. sir laurie bristow was the british ambassador to russia between 2016 and 2020, during crises including the salisbury poisonings. he joins us now from south—west london. sir laurie, we have asset —— we have had experts on this morning and some people say this doesn't affect president putin, some saying that this has severely damaged him and he is wounded. what is your take?

damaged him and he is wounded. what is yourtake?— is your take? good morning. i think the first thing _ is your take? good morning. i think the first thing to _ is your take? good morning. i think the first thing to say _ is your take? good morning. i think the first thing to say is _ is your take? good morning. i think the first thing to say is that - the first thing to say is that there is an awful lot that we still do not actually know so going through the events of the last couple of days, what was prigozhin's plan, what was he seeking to achieve? why was the russian response so weak? prigozhin's people took control of rostov, this is the major control and logistics hub for putin's war against ukraine. why does it resolve so quickly? this time yesterday morning we were looking at mr putin saying on television to them nation that mr prigozhin was conducting treason and within the inside of a day, no charges were going to be pressed. why did it happen? what happens next? what was the nature of the deal done, if any? what we do know is part of what was happening he was a struggle for resources between promotion and within the defence ministry. resources to conduct the military operation in ukraine and of course resources, money, powerwithin ukraine and of course resources,

money, power within russia itself and mr putin allowed it to run, as it often does between competing elements of his own administration and it went very bad on him. putin himself i think was almost directly criticised by prigozhin for the basis of the war being fought, not just its conduct, so the conclusions i draw from that for now is this is definitely not over. this is not overin definitely not over. this is not over in terms either of its impact in the war on ukraine or in terms of russia's politics. it is in the war on ukraine or in terms of russia's politics.— russia's politics. it is very difficult to — russia's politics. it is very difficult to predict - russia's politics. it is very difficult to predict but i russia's politics. it is very | difficult to predict but what russia's politics. it is very - difficult to predict but what would be your best guess as to what happens next?— be your best guess as to what ha ens next? ~ . .,, ., ,, be your best guess as to what ha- -ens next? . ., ., , , ., happens next? what has happened over the last day or — happens next? what has happened over the last day or so _ happens next? what has happened over the last day or so i _ happens next? what has happened over the last day or so i think— the last day or so i think illustrates the strategic failures in putin's war against ukraine and also the weaknesses and the flaws in the political system that putin has built in russia over the past 22 years stop i think putin himself is badly damaged by the episode, whatever happens next he doesn't

come out of it looking good. i think there is now an open question over there is now an open question over the morale of large parts of the army and their ability to construct —— conduct the war in ukraine. it also matters profoundly to political cohesion in russia. this is a president who has spent essentially everything on this war against ukraine and there is now pretty much everything in question about what happens in russia itself. obviously the rest of the _ happens in russia itself. obviously the rest of the world _ happens in russia itself. obviously the rest of the world is _ happens in russia itself. obviously the rest of the world is looking i the rest of the world is looking very closely as to what is happening in russia. what should the west to be doing, what should the west be saying, if anything? the be doing, what should the west be saying. if anything?— saying, if anything? the answer to this comes — saying, if anything? the answer to this comes in _ saying, if anything? the answer to this comes in a _ saying, if anything? the answer to this comes in a couple _ saying, if anything? the answer to this comes in a couple of - saying, if anything? the answer to this comes in a couple of parts. i saying, if anything? the answer to i this comes in a couple of parts. one is that the west should continue to do what it is doing in terms of helping ukraine defend itself against russia's aggression. that is what is happening here. this is not ukraine attacking russia, it is not the west are tracking russia, it is russia attacking ukraine into the west is trying to help ukraine help

itself. we are not seeking a direct confrontation against russia, it is not in our interest or russia's interests. what we need to be careful though is not to fall into the trap of doing mr putin's propaganda work for him. the russian system is already putting out that what happened over the last 24 hours is the consequence of western interference in russia. that is not the case. this is a struggle for power and resources between russians themselves but the point also is that there are people in russia who will genuinely believe that, whether or not it is actually true stop we should be very clear that we should not be feeding either the propaganda or the ability of the russian elite to misread our intentions. we should stick —— steer well clear of this and let russians decide their own future. ~ ., , ., ~ future. with regards to mr prigozhin. _ future. with regards to mr prigozhin, now— future. with regards to mr prigozhin, now in - future. with regards to mr prigozhin, now in belarus, future. with regards to mr i prigozhin, now in belarus, is future. with regards to mr - prigozhin, now in belarus, is the situation settled now, do we think? what happens to him? he has been

such a figure in russia recently, is this now the end of him? i do such a figure in russia recently, is this now the end of him?- this now the end of him? i do not believe this _ this now the end of him? i do not believe this episode _ this now the end of him? i do not believe this episode is _ this now the end of him? i do not believe this episode is by - this now the end of him? i do not believe this episode is by any i this now the end of him? i do not i believe this episode is by any means over. what happens next is just impossible to predict at this stage. he is a man who controls very, very large numbers of extremely violent people will stop there is a question there about what happens if they are pulled out of the russian invasion of ukraine. we should be prepared to this and more developments. sir laurie bristow, appreciate your time this morning, thank you. mark galeotti is a russian security analyst and the author of "putin's wars from chechnya to ukraine". hejoins us now from kent. good morning to you. mr putin has never faced good morning to you. mr putin has neverfaced a good morning to you. mr putin has never faced a challenge on this scale before. i wonder what your assessment is of where all of this leaves him and his future. in some

wa s this leaves him and his future. in some ways this is — leaves him and his future. in some ways this is actually _ leaves him and his future. in some ways this is actually a _ leaves him and his future. in some ways this is actually a symptom i leaves him and his future. in some ways this is actually a symptom of| ways this is actually a symptom of the slow decay of the putin system. what we have to realise precisely is that putin constantly practices divide and rule. he has members of his elite, different institutions, busy competing and fighting against one another so he can be the great arbitrator, one who reaches in and decides who wins each particular round. the thing is he allowed this rivalry between prigozhin and the defence ministry to burn on way too long and way too hot and i think in many ways people will be thinking this is actually something that putin's own making. i think on the one hand this actually shows that putin is much less able to manage his own system than he has been in the past but also it will make it even harderfor him to resolve the past but also it will make it even harder for him to resolve the next one so although on one level this is a spatter that is over and i don't think this will have massive consequences on the ground, it is more than anything else a sign of the way this entire system is beginning to degrade. brute

the way this entire system is beginning to degrade. the way this entire system is beatinnin to detrade. ~ . . ~' beginning to degrade. we have talked on the ground — beginning to degrade. we have talked on the ground this _ beginning to degrade. we have talked on the ground this morning, - beginning to degrade. we have talked on the ground this morning, better i on the ground this morning, better the devil you know, prigozhin has a bloodied history stop president putin of course has been known for threats on a world stage. suggestions, too, that a weakened russia is also very dangerous for the rest of the world.— the rest of the world. yes, but a . ain i the rest of the world. yes, but again i think — the rest of the world. yes, but again i think we _ the rest of the world. yes, but again i think we should - the rest of the world. yes, but again i think we should realise| the rest of the world. yes, but i again i think we should realise that although this definitely occupied the news cycle for 36 hours, it hasn't fundamentally changed either what is going on on the ground in ukraine or indeed the political system inside russia. it is demonstrated that we have a system which is slowly decaying but in some ways, that was inevitable. putin and the people close to him are already in their 70s and the world has moved on. they are clinging to power but a new political generation is waiting and if we look at that new political generation, it is actually not made

up generation, it is actually not made up of psychopathic imperialists or the like. on the whole it is made up of pragmatic kleptocrats, people who actually are not democrats, by any means, but the sort of people who want to go back to the days where they can embezzle on an industrial scale at home and then use that money to buy agreeable flats in london and more their yachts off the coast of france and so forth. so i think we shouldn't be too afraid of the transition but on the other hand you are absolutely right. if we push theissue you are absolutely right. if we push the issue and if putin finds himself cornered and it is a very unpredictable situation at that point. unpredictable situation at that oint. ., ._ unpredictable situation at that oint. ., ,, ., unpredictable situation at that oint. ., ,, . , point. you say in some respects some thins point. you say in some respects some things haven't — point. you say in some respects some things haven't changed _ point. you say in some respects some things haven't changed given - point. you say in some respects some things haven't changed given where i things haven't changed given where we are 24 hours on stop prigozhin called for a rebellion, president putin in that tv address decried that as treason. i we really supposed to believe that they have just said ok, it's fine, off belarus you go, that is the of the matter stop he accused him of treason, this

doesn't end here, does it? irlot stop he accused him of treason, this doesn't end here, does it?— doesn't end here, does it? not for priaozhin. doesn't end here, does it? not for prigozhin. this _ doesn't end here, does it? not for prigozhin. this is _ doesn't end here, does it? not for prigozhin. this is a _ doesn't end here, does it? not for prigozhin. this is a pragmatic- doesn't end here, does it? not for| prigozhin. this is a pragmatic deal. putin for all his wild show posturing tends to actually go for the deal. so in this case basically, as progression stood down, most of his guys avoid any consequences, goshen goes into exile and presumably continues to manage their wagner group operations more broadly in africa and such which can be very lucrative for him but yes, you are absolutely right, we know from his own words that putin draws a very strong line between enemies and traitors. enemies you fight against but maybe someday you can make a peace deal with. traitors you can do nothing with except get rid of them because ultimately someday they will slip a in your back and if we look at, for example, the poisoning of alexander yip and janko in london, the attempted poisoning of sergei skripal. this is people that that

these are people that were thought of by putin as traitors, not enemies. goshen is a man that basically putin made. he has given him all the opportunities to make himself rich and then he turned against him —— prigozhin. i don't think putin forgives and forgets. expert in russian security. for the moment, it is time to look at the weather with matt. perhaps a change in the offing, is that fair to say? change in the offing, is that fair to sa ? , ., change in the offing, is that fair to sa ? , . , change in the offing, is that fair to sa ? , ., , . ., to say? there is, at this coming week. to say? there is, at this coming week- good _ to say? there is, at this coming week. good morning. _ to say? there is, at this coming week. good morning. i- to say? there is, at this coming week. good morning. ithink. to say? there is, at this coming week. good morning. i think of| to say? there is, at this coming i week. good morning. i think of you would _ week. good morning. i think of you would welcome that. if you struggled sleeping, _ would welcome that. if you struggled sleeping, understandable. these were some of— sleeping, understandable. these were some of the overnight lows, temperatures for many not dropping below— temperatures for many not dropping below the _ temperatures for many not dropping below the high teens. but in achnagart, it didn't dropped below 20 celsius— achnagart, it didn't dropped below 20 celsius all night long. the average _ 20 celsius all night long. the average temperature here by day in june is— average temperature here by day in june is around 16 or 17 degrees. so we were _

been sent to belarus. we'll have analysis of what happens next for russia. and we'll speak to the family of zara aleena — who was murdered last year whilst walking home — about the first anniversary of her death and the vigil taking place to honour her life. good morning! what a moment for england's tammy beaumont at the ashes. she breaks an 88—year—old record and becomes the first english woman to take a double century in a test match. it's hot and humid for many eastern areas today but fresher conditions pushing in from the west and some of us could see some nasty thunderstorms. all the details coming up. it's sunday the 25th ofjune. our main story. the threat of a major uprising against the russian president vladimir putin appears to have receded, after a deal was struck

which enabled the rebel leader to retreat. yevgeny prigozhin, the head of the wagner mercenary group, has been pictured apparently leaving the russian city of rostov—on—don — along with his troops. only yesterday a heavily armed column of wagner troops was heading from rostov—on—don towards moscow, where defences were being prepared. those troops got to around 300 miles south of the russian capital. then — at around 6.30pm uk time — prigozhin announced that he had agreed to stop the advance, in a deal brokered by the belarusian leader. with all the details, here's our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford. mutineers cheered as heroes. cheering. this crowd are shouting "wagner", the name of the mercenary group that vladimir putin had accused of treason only hours earlier. the fighters were clearly among friends here. just one bizarre scene in a day of high drama.

the wagner group had rolled into rostov on saturday morning, placing tanks on city streets and taking over a military command post for the ukraine war. there, wagner's boss was filmed haranguing senior military figures. in extraordinary scenes, yevgeny prigozhin demanded the downfall of russia's defence minister and its chief of staff, accusing them of mishandling the war on ukraine. soon came reports of wagner troops heading north, though there were very few images. this sign points to voronezh, that's already halfway to moscow. in the same region, a driver sees a roadblock. he says wagner have smashed through. further north still, a man finds his way home, blocked by a trench dug into the tarmac. this march on moscow turned all eyes on yevgeny prigozhin.

he's a former convict who became a chef to vladimir putin, but he did a lot of the kremlin's dirty work to from disinformation by running troll farms to covert fighting in syria and ukraine. since the full scale invasion, prigozhin had been recruiting soldiers from prisons for some of the fiercest battles, but he'd also been feuding openly with russia's defence ministry. and this weekend, that dispute exploded. vladimir putin declared the mutiny a betrayal, a stab in the back. but it was a problem that he himself had allowed to get out of hand. as a counter—terror operation was launched to defend the capital the potential for clashes was clear. and then, as suddenly as it began, it was over. prigozhin said his men were turning round to avoid bloodshed and belarus announced it helped negotiate that. late last night, pictures

emerged of the man himself leaving for belarus as part of the climbdown deal. yevgeny prigozhin's next steps are unclear like so much in this story. vladimir putin didn't win the showdown. he just survived it. for once, the russian strongman looked weak. sarah rainsford, bbc news. that is what happened yesterday. let's try and make sense of what it could mean for the future. we're joined now from moscow by our russia editor steve rosenberg. what is your assessment of what happens next? you might think the immediate danger to president vladimir putin is over? possibly not. vladimir putin is over? possibly not- what _ vladimir putin is over? possibly not- what an — vladimir putin is over? possibly not. what an astonishing - vladimir putin is over? possibly not. what an astonishing 24 - vladimir putin is over? possibly . not. what an astonishing 24 hours. not. what an astonishing 2a hours. the biggest challenge to vladimir

putin and his authority since he came to power more than 20 years ago, he does not come out of this story looking particularly strong, you have to say. look at the ease with which a private army, this missionary group took control of military sites in the city of rostov on don, a city of more than a million people, they waltzed in and began moving further north towards moscow. vladimir putin yesterday came out quite strongly on television with his address to the nation, talking about betrayal and treachery, russia being stabbed in the back and yet by the evening, having basically labelled yevgeny prigozhin a traitor, all charges were dropped. yes, yevgeny prigozhin had to leave and go to belarus but he is a free man. 0n the other side, what do we think about yevgeny prigozhin and how he came out of this? events of the last 2a hours have shown you can have your own

private army, you can get me, you can set the goal of toppling the military leadership of russia and remain a free man. i think back to 1991 and the coup against mikhail gorbachev, the coup leaders were put in prison, 93, the rebellion against boris yeltsin and the leaders said that rebellion were put in prison. now this aren't mutiny in russia and yevgeny prigozhin as a free man. listening to how he was cheered by some of the crowds in rostov on don, you know, he will be bored by that. that is what is so astonishing. yevgeny prigozhin: for rebellion, vladimir putin decrying him on tv as treason and then we'll talk bottom to see here, back to as usual. what is your assessment about the longer term impact on president putin and his grip on power? that

term impact on president putin and his grip on power?— his grip on power? that face business _ his grip on power? that face business as _ his grip on power? that face business as usual, - his grip on power? that face business as usual, that - his grip on power? that face| business as usual, that went his grip on power? that face - business as usual, that went out of the window on the 24th of february last year when vladimir putin took the decision and ordered a full—scale invasion of ukraine. we have not seen business as usual since then. what we do not know i think are all the details about the deal that was done last night between the kremlin and the wagner grip. some of these details were made public, it was apparently negotiated with the help of the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenko and under that deal yevgeny prigozhin heads off to belarus and all charges against him dropped. the wagner fighters will not be prosecuted either but are there more details to come out, was something decided about the fate of the russian military leadership? we do not know, we need to be patient and wait to see what emerges in the coming days. and wait to see what emerges in the coming days-— and wait to see what emerges in the coming days. always great to talk to ou, thank coming days. always great to talk to

you. thank yom _ that is the view from moscow. 0ur correspondent andrew harding is in the donbas region of ukraine. andrew, tell us about the reaction in ukraine to these events — they must be being watched so closely? they must be being watched so closel ? w , they must be being watched so closel ? , ~ , ., closely? exactly, unlike everyone in russia, everyone _ closely? exactly, unlike everyone in russia, everyone in _ closely? exactly, unlike everyone in russia, everyone in ukraine - closely? exactly, unlike everyone in russia, everyone in ukraine is- russia, everyone in ukraine is watching this closely, waiting to see if there are aftershocks or reshuffles ahead in the russian military and whether there will be an impact on the front line here in the donbas region and elsewhere in occupied ukraine on russian forces. what will happen to the wagner fighters? with a return to the front lines, will there be no divisions or withdraws of key units from certain points on the front line? clearly ukraine is looking at this moment and hoping it provides

opportunities, tactical, strategic, military for the ukrainian forces to exploit. this is coming at a key time, the counteroffensive, the long awaited counteroffensive from ukraine is under way but it has to move up some gears, tens of thousands of extra reserves waiting to be committed to the front line and it seems right now ukrainian is trying to work out exactly where the weak points of worship may be they hope what is going on in russia will demoralise russian forces and give them new opportunities. there are also risks ukraine, the possibility the kremlin may seek to reassert its authority over this shaky conflict and perhaps escalate things, possibly even with some sort of nuclear sabotage which the ukrainians have been mourning repeatedly about.— ukrainians have been mourning repeatedly about. ukrainians have been mourning reeatedl about. �* ., ~ 0ur reporter simonjones is outside the foreign and commonwealth office in central

london. good morning to you. yesterday, one would assume frantic calls between the world leaders but what we know about the uk government response? here at the foreign office this morning i think officials are taking a moment to catch their breath after an extraordinary 2a hours in russia. i think people were taken by surprise at the speed at which this rebellion established itself and equally, the speed at which the retreat came about. world leaders are not leased here in the uk have been reluctant to give a running commentary on the situation because it has changed so quickly but we know the british foreign secretary james cleverly held a meeting yesterday of the cobra emergency committee and as well as analysing the situation in russia a key priority was the safety of british citizens who are currently in the

country. rishi sunak then held telephone conversations with the us president, the french president and also the german chancellor and they are marching out of that was the ongoing support of the alliance towards ukraine and the people of ukraine. the official line coming from the foreign office is that they are continuing to monitor closely the situation in russia. one key thing they will be considering is what happens next and whether president vladimir putin reacts in any sort of role because in the past when he has been backed into his corner and his authority has been damaged, he tends lash out. there will be an issue _ damaged, he tends lash out. there will be an issue over— damaged, he tends lash out. there will be an issue over how _ damaged, he tends lash out. there will be an issue over how strong . will be an issue over how strong they want to be seen to respond to an internal struggle and there is concern a week and russia is also

dangerous? the concern a week and russia is also dangerous?— concern a week and russia is also danaerous? , . , , dangerous? the big concern yesterday was the prospect _ dangerous? the big concern yesterday was the prospect you _ dangerous? the big concern yesterday was the prospect you could _ dangerous? the big concern yesterday was the prospect you could see - dangerous? the big concern yesterday was the prospect you could see civil. was the prospect you could see civil war in a country that is highly armed with nuclear weapons but i think the fact we have heard so little from world leaders over than that phrase that has been repeated, monitoring the situation, ongoing support for the people of ukraine, is a difficult situation for them to react to. make no mistake, amongst western leaders there is no love for vladimir putin and they are very keen to portray him as this dictator figure who has caused unnecessary suffering to the people of ukraine. but then the potential alternative of the partner group gaining some sort of power or foothold over the military and russia was not an enticing prospect either for leaders of the west. we will hear more from politicians here in the uk now the

situation appears to have stabilised but i think the words will be chosen very carefully. but i think the words will be chosen very carefully-— very carefully. simon, for now, thank yon _ alicia kearns is a conservative mp and chair of the foreign affairs committee. she joins us from rutland. good morning and thank you for joining us. the last 36 hours have seen extraordinary events, we know that the government yesterday to discuss the situation but are you able to tell us what was said and what the government response might be? ., . ., ., what the government response might be? ., ., , be? no, i cannot shake the conversations _ be? no, i cannot shake the conversations that - be? no, i cannot shake the conversations that take - be? no, i cannot shake the i conversations that take place be? no, i cannot shake the - conversations that take place in cobra because they are completely protected for my own times as a civil servant on the good thing about cobra meetings as they are very nearly linked, the details. not government departments would have

been talking about british citizens and how safe they may or may not be, talking about what is taking place specifically in russia and what that means for uk interests, about the impact on the ukraine counteroffensive which appears to have been well taken advantage of but also the impact in syria and across the middle east and africa were wagner has a significant grip. what is your take on the events and how this may or may not have affected vladimir putin and his position in russia? j affected vladimir putin and his position in russia?— affected vladimir putin and his position in russia? i think we have learned a lot _ position in russia? i think we have learned a lot over _ position in russia? i think we have learned a lot over the _ position in russia? i think we have learned a lot over the last - position in russia? i think we have learned a lot over the last 36 - position in russia? i think we have| learned a lot over the last 36 hours but i think there is a lot to go. this is not over. the disagreement between vladimir putin and yevgeny prigozhin as a sub threshold rather than being actively in front of us but we have learnt the premise of that relationship, the social contract between vladimir putin and the russian people has been shattered. he promised he would give them security and stability but at

them security and stability but at the cost of individual rights and freedoms, that has been shattered because he has shown he cannot show that security but on the other side, yevgeny prigozhin watched his people close to moscow and pull them back at the last minute and online we are seeing many angerfrom many people involved in wagner saying about putting, why didn't he go further? so they feel disillusioned, there is this bizarre concept that yevgeny prigozhin will go to belarus and start behaving, i do not think the conflict is over yet, we will see how it plays out. much like the russian aggressive foreign military capabilities the internal security capabilities the internal security capabilities are not as robust as we thought because wagner was able to make it close to moscow. haifa thought because wagner was able to make it close to moscow. how should western governments _ make it close to moscow. how should western governments react? - make it close to moscow. how should western governments react? i - make it close to moscow. how should western governments react? i want l make it close to moscow. how should | western governments react? i want to make very clear— western governments react? i want to make very clear contrary _ western governments react? i want to make very clear contrary to _ western governments react? i want to make very clear contrary to russia - make very clear contrary to russia propaganda western governments are staying out of this, this is why i

have yet to comment on the fatwas leaders have been quiet. there is no effort at regime change in russia and the reason for that sa collapsed russia is a big threat to the global economy, secondly you never know who will come worse and when you engage with regime change the individual you are trying to remove can bunker down and be successful and commit at a polling purchase so western governments have been moderate in what they say because they did not want to get vladimir putin any propaganda coup. he will be desperate to suggest the reason this happened was not because of the failed illegal invasion of ukraine and the impact of that and his inability to marshal the russian economy but because of western involvement.— economy but because of western involvement. ., . ., involvement. how concerned are you? we have had — involvement. how concerned are you? we have had commentators _ involvement. how concerned are you? we have had commentators this - we have had commentators this morning talking about a 100 vladimir putin is perhaps more dangerous? h0 putin is perhaps more dangerous? th? question, i said i was very

last night, holster this morning, blue skies over the white cliffs of dover but a different story for northern ireland, dark and threatening skies producing rain as the cloud appears and bringing fresh weather. rain has been here over the last few hours, some isolated showers breaking out in western scotland but hazy sunshine for scotland, northern england and was in the south—west, the shower into wales by the end of the morning, widely across scotland in the afternoon, more widely across northern england and the north—east midlands we could see locally severe thunderstorms developing, could drop rain in a quite short space of time, the risk of flooding and the further south we look the greater chance of more places staying dry, showers few and far between. there could be interruptions later at edgbaston for the cricket, very hot, as high as 32 degrees before the showers are right but something more comfortable in

the west, 21 degrees in glasgow, 18 ori9 the west, 21 degrees in glasgow, 18 or 19 for northern ireland this afternoon. the fresh air pushes the storm is tonight, stormy start across eastern scotland but most places dry and clear for tomorrow morning. temperatures away from towns and cities will be in single figure so slightly more comfortable tonight but it will take some days before the bedroom is cool down and our homes holding on to the heat. a different weather pattern for next week, weather coming from the west. monday is a semi—store for most, clare balding, some showers here and there especially in scotland and northern ireland and some in northern england but many staying dry, showers building and later in the day, temperatures close to the average, sunshine still there at times. not as much sunshine into choose to working its way in producing plastic conditions in

iceland but for us, cloud and a breeze, outbreaks of rain developing widely through the day, north east scotland staying dry and sunny and bright towards the channel islands. feeling humoured later but not to the extent at the moment and this coming week we see more in the way of cloud, rain at times but pleasant enoughin of cloud, rain at times but pleasant enough in the sunny moments as well. back to you. like the sound of that, thank you very much. it is just coming up to 25 past eight. a silent walk will take place today to mark a year since the trainee solicitor zara aleena was murdered by a stranger while she walked home from a night out. it will start in ilford, in east london — and then follow the route that zara would have taken to get home. before we speak to her aunt, let's remind ourselves of what happened that night. a rock who glued the community together.

that's how zara aleena is remembered by herfamily. on the 26th ofjune last year, the 35—year—old was walking home from a night out with a friend when she was brutally attacked and sexually assaulted by a stranger. she died from her injuries. her killer, jordan mcsweeney, should have been behind bars that night, but failings by the probation service meant he hadn't been recalled to prison for breaching the conditions of his early release on licence. cctv from earlier in the evening shows him following two different women before he encountered zara. he was jailed for 38 years but chose not to be in court when that sentence was handed down. the defendant's decision not to come up from the cells to court to hear the devastating impact of his crimes shows that the man who took zara aleena's life has no spine whatsoever. a week after her death, hundreds of people gathered in ilford near to where zara was killed. today, they will gather again to remember the aspiring lawyer who always carried trainers in her bag because she believed every woman had the right

to walk home alone. will batchelor, bbc news. we're joined now by zara's aunt, farah naz, who's in ilford. thank you forjoining us on what is no doubt a very difficult day. could you tell us about the vigil today, what will happen and what it means to the family?— to the family? good morning and thank ou to the family? good morning and thank you for— to the family? good morning and thank you for having _ to the family? good morning and thank you for having me. - to the family? good morning and thank you for having me. we - to the family? good morning and thank you for having me. we willj to the family? good morning and i thank you for having me. we will be meeting _ thank you for having me. we will be meeting at— thank you for having me. we will be meeting at 1:30pm this afternoon near meeting at1:30pm this afternoon near to— meeting at 1:30pm this afternoon near to the place where zara was murdered~ — near to the place where zara was murdered. and we will speak to the people _ murdered. and we will speak to the people that gather with us to remember herand to people that gather with us to remember her and to remember all other— remember her and to remember all otherwomen and girls remember her and to remember all other women and girls that are murdered _ other women and girls that are murdered here. and after speaking, we will_ murdered here. and after speaking, we will walk in silence and we will rememher— we will walk in silence and we will remember zara we will walk in silence and we will rememberzara and we we will walk in silence and we will remember zara and we will remember

hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sarah campbell. our top story this morning is the apparent defusing of an armed insurrection against the russian president vladimir putin. it was instigated by this man, yevgeny prigozhin, the head of russia's mercenary force, the wagner group. he'd called for a rebellion against the russian army, and his group had been advancing on moscow, taking two key cities along the way and getting to around 300 miles south of the russian capital. authorities began preparing for an invasion, with some barricades erected and roads towards the capital dug up. however, this was yevgeny prigozhin's last night, apparently leaving the russian city of rostov—on—don for belarus, as part of a deal brokered

by the belarusian president. prigozhin had earlier told his forces to return to their bases to "avoid bloodshed" — and russian state media reported that charges of treason against those wagner mercenaries will be dropped. with both sides shaping the narrative to suit their own agenda, clear facts are hard to ascertain. our correspondent, joe inwood, joins us now. just explain how difficult it is to determine exactly what happened, because there is a lot of propaganda coming from russia but also on the ukrainian side, they will use it for their own purposes. they will say this is a great opportunity, what there? ., , this is a great opportunity, what there? . , _, , ., there? had been covering this war since the start _ there? had been covering this war since the start and _ there? had been covering this war since the start and the _ there? had been covering this war since the start and the one - there? had been covering this war since the start and the one thing l since the start and the one thing that has— since the start and the one thing that has been a constant has been a stream _ that has been a constant has been a stream of— that has been a constant has been a stream of misinformation that you -et stream of misinformation that you get from _ stream of misinformation that you get from both sides. you get an

and him being served by prigozhin a year later. let's talk now with samantha de bendern, who specialises in russian security issues. shejoins us now from paris. it's been quite an astonishing 24 to 36 hours, hasn't it? we know prigozhin calling for that rebellion and the response from the kremlin was pretty blunt. did you ever expect that we would see this kind of power tussle in russia? actually, i did. i've been _ of power tussle in russia? actually, i did. i've been observing _ of power tussle in russia? actually, i did. i've been observing prigozhin| i did. i've been observing prigozhin for basically the last few years and really _ for basically the last few years and really intensely for the last year. it seemed — really intensely for the last year. it seemed quite obvious quite early on that— it seemed quite obvious quite early on that something was going on, particularly since the beginning of 2023. _ particularly since the beginning of 2023, his— particularly since the beginning of 2023, his repeated rants against the
