voters head to the polls in greece for the second general election injust over a month. the conservative frontrunners are seeking a majority after falling short in may. and fans stake their claim ahead of eltonjohn�*s headline set at the glastonbury festival. he is just the greatest showman with like amazing classic songs that we have grown up with, so we couldn't not be here and it is the last show so who would not be on the front row? hello, i'm lukwesa burak. welcome to bbc news. emergency security measures remain in place in moscow, a day after a short—lived rebellion posed the greatest challenge yet to president putin's authority. yevgeny prigozhin, the head of the wagner mercenary

group, pictured here leaving the russian city of rostov—on—don, is reportedly going into exile in belarus after abandoning his advance on moscow. gunfire. and with wagnerforces firing their guns into the sky — and cheers from the watching public — his troops also departed the city, just hours after they controlled a military building, with further wagner troops moving towards moscow. they were heading north on the m4 motorway, passing the city of voronezh, and were spotted as far north as 300 miles south of moscow. this all took place on saturday.

then, in the early evening of saturday, prigozhin announced that he had agreed to stop the advance. tensions had been building between mr prigozhin and russia's military leadership for some time, over their approach to the war in ukraine. 0ur security correspondent gordon corera reports. applause. the strange end of a mutiny — forces from the wagner mercenary group left rostov last night watched by crowds after a chaotic and extraordinary day. some cheered wagner's leader, yevgeny prigozhin, as he was driven away, reaching out to shake his hand. yesterday morning the military headquarters in the city had been seized by forces loyal to prigozhin without firing a shot. once a close ally of putin, prigozhin had fallen out with russia's military leadership, claiming they had used his mercenaries as cannon fodder in ukraine, and so he began to head towards moscow. as the wagner convoy began the long drive to the capital, there were explosions and reports of helicopters shot down, but a deal brokered by the president of neighbouring belarus, an ally of putin, halted prigozhin�*s advance late in the day,

before significant bloodshed. but the question is, what now? prigozhin�*s exact whereabouts are unknown, but he is due to go into exile in belarus. his forces, said to be 25,000 strong, are supposed to be absorbed into the regular russian military, but it is not yet clear how or with what effect on the war in ukraine. in moscow, the events could weaken vladimir putin's grip on power. yesterday he told the russian people those behind the mutiny would pay, before then doing a deal, raising difficult questions, as the widow of one of putin's critics told the bbc. prigozhin is not a hero, he is a criminal, he committed a lot of bad things in ukraine, and you cannot trust this person. this was all a game, a mess in russia, but with

this was all again a mess in russia, but with a very special message. putin is not a person who controlled anything in russia. putin has long played off different factions against each other — his top general and defence minister seen here were both a target of prigozhin�*s anger. but this is now getting harderfor him. for the russian people, the events will have come as a shock, undermining the kremlin�*s attempts to control the flow of information. the reception given to the departing wagner forces last night in rostov shows some still regard them as heroes. their mutiny may be over, but the shock waves its left behind are just beginning. gordon corera, bbc news. sam greene is professor in russian politics at king's college london. hejoins me now from farnham. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. so, bill will during events taking place on saturday, where do

you put russia now, particularly president putin? —— bewildering events. i president putin? -- bewildering events. ~ , , events. i think this is, as you said, events. i think this is, as you said. are--- _ events. i think this is, as you said, are... situation - events. i think this is, as you said, are... situation for- events. i think this is, as you - said, are... situation for everyone involved. i can't imagine any of the participants 48 hours ago imagined this is where they would be, and yet it is where they find themselves. i think that prigozhin on some level must be reasonably happy, given the threat that he was facing of ending up threat that he was facing of ending up injail or threat that he was facing of ending up in jail or potentially threat that he was facing of ending up injail or potentially in a grave to only find himself an exile. there is a lot of uncertainty about what his role will be going forward. i think that putin is probably reasonably happy that he didn't have to engage in essentially a shooting war in his own territory, which could have been really quite destabilising, but also he has seen off this threat. yet, i think that he will be somewhat nervous about

how others in the system will read this situation, in which he did not meet a threat head—on. he did have to have outside mediation come in to solve a problem that he was otherwise unable to solve on his own. �* . , , �* �* otherwise unable to solve on his own. ~ . , , �* ~ ., own. and that is it, isn't it? a lot of peeple — own. and that is it, isn't it? a lot of peeple are _ own. and that is it, isn't it? a lot of people are now— own. and that is it, isn't it? a lot of people are now saying - own. and that is it, isn't it? a lot of people are now saying that - own. and that is it, isn't it? a lotj of people are now saying that the threat has not entirely gone away. we have not seen the full fallout from what has taken place. i think that is probably _ from what has taken place. i think that is probably true. _ from what has taken place. i think that is probably true. the - from what has taken place. i think that is probably true. the reality l that is probably true. the reality is putin has survived this, and from that point of view he probably deserves some credit for it, but it will come as dominic at a —— it will come at a cost, and some people will be asking themselves about the rule that put in place. the russian elite has always had the kinds of conflicts and competitions that we have seen, albeit with much greater

fire power between somebody like prigozhin and sergei shoigu the defence minister. put on�*s role has been to keep that conflict from spiralling out of control, and to mediate the consequences. he has rather spectacularly failed to do so in this circumstance, i think i will make a lot of people nervous about the degree to which he really has a grip on politics and competition in russia going forward in very difficult circumstances. certainly in united states, _ difficult circumstances. certainly in united states, speaking - difficult circumstances. certainly in united states, speaking to . difficult circumstances. certainly| in united states, speaking to the cbs programme face the nation, the secretary of state antony blinken has said that it raises profound questions, it shows real cracks, but the absolute pain of this for

president putin was that the threat after all he said about international affairs came from within. . , international affairs came from within. ., , ., ., , ., within. that is often a problem for authoritarian _ within. that is often a problem for authoritarian regimes. _ within. that is often a problem for authoritarian regimes. i _ within. that is often a problem for authoritarian regimes. ithink- within. that is often a problem for authoritarian regimes. i think thatj authoritarian regimes. i think that britain has very much tried to use this war is the glue to keep together what was always going to be a bit of a difficult political project. he has been in powerfor 23 years, he has spent most of those 23 years, he has spent most of those 23 years trying to prevent the emergence of threats, and he has used prigozhin as one of the ways in which he does that, both by a force of arms, but also by the things that prigozhin does on the internet, media influence can fames, —— campaigns, social media trawls, and that sort of thing. the reality is

that sort of thing. the reality is that in seeing off all of the structural threats that he has to power, he ends up engineering more as he goes along, because any disagreement that emerged within the system ends up being coming into disagreement with the way that putin manages russia.— manages russia. professor sam greene, thank _ manages russia. professor sam greene, thank you _ manages russia. professor sam greene, thank you very - manages russia. professor sam greene, thank you very much, l manages russia. professor sam greene, thank you very much, i | greene, thank you very much, i apologise for interrupting. as events developed inside russia the bbc�*s verify team worked to sift through videos on social media to track the convoy of wagner vehicles. they are now assessing the aftermath. 0ur europe correspondent, nick beake, has been working with the team and is in the bbc verify hub with more. thank you very much. yes, what happened yesterday? and how much fighting was there between the wagner mercenaries who said they were going all the way to moscow and the regular russian army? here at

bbc verify, we have spent the last 24 hours looking at the video that has emerged, trying to make sense of it. let me show you one video in particular. this shows what is believed to be a russian helicopter by a main road here, believed to be a russian helicopter bya main road here, and believed to be a russian helicopter by a main road here, and you can see that it opens fire on what is believed to be a wagner target. we don't know that for sure, but you can see just hear the explosion and the aftermath of it. the video itself we have managed to verify, and you can see the helicopter wheeling away there. there is another video as well that we have to verify, and we believe that is from the same spot, the m4 motorway. you can see someone filming out the window, and you can see the road sign, and the burned—out wreckage of the strike. how to work out exactly what that was, but these two things taken together give us more information about what happened. let me show you what we did using google street view. you can see, quite distinctive, isn't it, that residential block with the yellows

and the blues? that matches the first video we saw there, so that helps us. also the pylons from this particular location, which we matched as well. where is all this happening? i can show you. it was in voronezh, which is basically halfway between rostov, where the wagner mercenaries set off, and moscow, where they said they wanted to get to. there are other things happening in that city. this is the aftermath of a big explosion at a fuel depot, and in terms of verifying this material, it was made a lot easier, look at that, you have the name of the company here, so that give us something to gone straightaway. you have the two different incidents happening in the city, to abouti million people, and you can see that the oil depot is further north in the oil depot is further north in the city. this is from another angle, the aftermath of the blast. you can see this was footage that was taken from a dash cam. going further north of foreign —— of

voronezh, this again we have verified, and something we are able to geo— locate stop gives you idea of the movement. there are some questions about the size of the convoy and its speed as well. these are elements that we have managed managed to verify, but they are fragments of in a much wider confused picture.— now it's time for a look at today's sport. let's start at trent bridge, where its day four of the women's ashes test between australia and england. australia resumed on 82 without loss and a lead of 92. kate cross dropped phoebe litchfield on 42 but then bowled herfor 46. debutant lauren filer got a breakthrough, bowling elyse perry for 25 and then thalia magrath

too ahead of myself or thinking things like that, so it is just another day on the golf course. we will enjoy the walk, and whatever will enjoy the walk, and whatever will whatever will be will be. keegan bradley shot three birdies in his final five holes to take a one—shot lead after the third round of the travellers championship. the 2011 pga championship winner leads fellow american chez reavie by a shot after a six—under—par 64. rickie fowler is among the chasing pack following a superb round that saw him just missjoining the exclusive sub—60 club. northern ireland's rory mcilroy is nine shots back. carlos alcaraz has the chance to win his first grass court title at queen's this afternoon and go back to number one in the world rankings. he's under way against australia's alex de minaur in london. it's currently 4—3 to de minaur. if he wins, alcaraz will also be confimed as top seed at wimbledon, which gets under way in eight days' time.

plenty of preparations for wimbledon. there's another grass court final taking place at the moment as well, as andrey rublev takes on alexander bublik at the halle 0pen. rublev ru blev lost rublev lost the first set 63, but he has just taken the second set to 6-3. and the two—time wimbledon champion petra kvitova faces unseeded donna vekic in the final of the german open shortly. after friday's play was a wash—out, they had to play both the quarterfinals and semi—finals on saturday to progress. that gets under way in the next half hour. and with just 25 days to go until that start of the women's world cup, football fans marched across sydney's iconic harbour bridge. thousands of people joined the unity celebration, walking, jogging or dancing across the landmark. the tournament takes place across australia and new zealand,

with new zealand facing norway in the opening fixture at eden park in auckland. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much, serra. greeks are voting for the second time in a month with conservative former prime minister kyriakos mitsotakis hoping to secure a big majority. he convincingly beat his centre—left rival alexis tsipras in may but called new elections in a bid to govern greece alone. mr mitsotakis is hoping to secure a second term in office. i'm joined by dimitris papadimitriou, professor of political science at the university of manchester. thank you forjoining us here on the programme. so, second time lucky, but for who? programme. so, second time lucky, but form?— but for who? kyriakos mitsotakis is on course for _ but for who? kyriakos mitsotakis is on course for securing _ but for who? kyriakos mitsotakis is

justice system, education, health care which is in a terrible state, so kyriakos mitsotakis will be very pleased tonight i think, but starting from tomorrow he will have a lot to deal with. in starting from tomorrow he will have a lot to deal with.— a lot to deal with. in terms of the outh, a lot to deal with. in terms of the youth. what _ a lot to deal with. in terms of the youth, what are _ a lot to deal with. in terms of the youth, what are their _ a lot to deal with. in terms of the youth, what are their priorities? l a lot to deal with. in terms of the youth, what are their priorities? i think that one of the very interesting findings of the last election was that mitsotakis was able to secure a comfortable majority even among the youth, something that was traditionally a very strong clientele for alexis tsipras. it seems the youth, as well as other key sections of greek society, are putting a big premium on stability, and they are pinning their hopes on economic performance that will allow them to find jobs in greece, better paid jobs. they feel

that the future in the country is not in jeopardy. that the future in the country is not injeopardy. in that the future in the country is not in jeepardy-_ not in jeopardy. in terms of international _ not in jeopardy. in terms of international platform, - not in jeopardy. in terms of international platform, how not in jeopardy. in terms of i international platform, how is greece doing? fin international platform, how is greece doing?— international platform, how is greece doinu? ., ., ., greece doing? on the international front, mitsotakis _ greece doing? on the international front, mitsotakis has _ greece doing? on the international front, mitsotakis has been - greece doing? on the international front, mitsotakis has been able - greece doing? on the international front, mitsotakis has been able to l front, mitsotakis has been able to show strong leadership. rees was a strong supporter of ukraine, despite the fact that the country historically enjoyed close links with russia. relations between greece and the us is also very strong at the moment, and mitsotakis' own standing in europe is very good too. the difficulty for him, i guess, would be turkey. there is currently a lot of pressure for greece and turkey to return to a dialogue to normalise their relations. this would be a very

difficult parcel for him, not least because a big part of his own electorate in greece feels very suspicious towards turkey. thank you ve much suspicious towards turkey. thank you very much indeed. _ people across england, scotland and wales were unable to use the 999 emergency number this morning, because of a technicalfault. bt says a back—up service is now in operation although some services say they're still experiencing difficulties. earlier many police, fire and ambulance services were advising the public to call alternate numbers. 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.
