when we passed the 96 hours mark, that's when i lost hope and that's when, when i even then sent the message to my family on shore, i said "i'm preparing". # hold me closer tiny dancer. and sir eltonjohn brings the sun down on glastonbury — in the final uk show of his farewell tour. hello i'm sally bundock. we begin with ukraine's president vlodimeer zelensky. he's ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has called for countries to put pressure on russia to end the war, following the attempted rebellion by wagner m e rce nary forces . in a phone call with joe biden, mr zelensky said the turmoil exposed
5:01 am
weaknesses in vladimir putin's rule. here is ukraine's president in his nightly address. translation: the longer russian aggression lasts, the degradation continues. the degradation continues. the degradation is gradually returning to its home harvest. in our conversations with leaders we have exchanged our assessments of what is happening in russia and we see the situation in the same way and know how to respond. following a weekend of uncertainty in russia, many questions still remain about the authority of president putin and the damage to his standing — both at home and overseas. russia's president has not been seen since the attempted military rebellion. and neither has yevgeny prigozhin, the leader of the army of mercenary soldiers known as the wagner group. he's promised to leave russia and move to belarus. the us says the attempted armed mutiny in russia shows �*real cracks�* in president putin's authority. our analysis editor ros atkins has more.
5:02 am
the wagner group's mutiny is over but its consequences are not. let's look at five dimensions of this story. first, there is yevgeny prigozhin. on saturday morning, he said his wagner forces would march to moscow. by saturday night, his destination had changed to belarus. according to the kremlin, treason charges against him would be dropped but prigozhin was going into exile. a major player in the war appears to be leaving the battlefield and leaving russia, too. which takes us to the second impact, on wagner itself. it's a mercenary group that's outside of the russian military but has been fighting for russia in ukraine. russia's defence ministry has plans to centralise control of irregular forces like wagner, something prigozhin opposed. wagner will not sign any contracts, he declared. but his mutiny failed to stop the plans. and that means wagner, in its current form, is coming to an end, which connects to our third
5:03 am
issue: russia's military leadership and prigozhin�*s determination to change it. that was in may. sergei shoigu is russia's defence minister. valery gerasimov is the chief of the general staff, and prigozhin has repeatedly attacked them both for problems on the battlefield. on saturday he urged russians to join the conflict against the defence ministry. that didn't happen. and when the kremlin was asked about shoigu's position, its spokesperson said, "i'm not aware of any changes in this regard," which could mean a number of things. for now, shoigu keeps hisjob. he's gaining wagner fighters, gaining more control, but as he and putin know, the struggles of the russian military have not gone away and our fourth consideration is the president himself. on saturday he went on national tv accusing prigozhin of treason, but having to address a mutiny by a mercenary force that he's backed is unlikely to have been
5:04 am
on putin's list of things to do. nor would have been moscow having to prepare in case wagner arrived. and watching on is the us. so, i think this is clearly... we see cracks emerging. where they go, if anywhere, when they get there, very hard to say. i don't want to speculate on it. it is very hard to say. but putin has been under pressure as rarely seen before. that happened connects to our fifth issue — the state of the war. because putin brought in wagner to give russia momentum in ukraine. but territorial gains have proved elusive and now, as once again putin tries to address that, a mutiny led by someone who was a key figure in russia's operation in ukraine, would appear unlikely to help. ros atkins there summing up some of the key issues. we heard from antony blinken
5:05 am
there — and events over the weekend has led to a lot of international reaction. as we've been hearing — president zelensky spoke to us president biden — but he also spoke to canadian�*s prime minister justin trudeau and poland's president andrej duda. and today, nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg will travel to lithuania ahead of a nato summit in the country's capital next month. following events in russia, lithuania's president gitanas nauseda has warned if belarus is to host the wagner mercenary chief then nato will need to strengthen its eastern flank. and to talk about all of that, with me isjonathan charles, geopolitical insight advisor specialising in russia and the countries around it and a former bbc correspondent in moscow and ukraine. you may remember that well but he also used to sit in this chair as well. good to see you. great to see you as well. before we go ahead, give us

your take on the weekend we have experienced, the events that took place.— that took place. this was a hu:el that took place. this was a hugely dramatic _ that took place. this was a hugely dramatic weekend, | that took place. this was a i hugely dramatic weekend, no getting away from it. you've got to remember resident putin has ruled russia all these decades as a strong man and yet on saturday he looked weak. he allowed wagner forces to come within 120 miles of moscow, allowed wagner forces to come within120 miles of moscow, he started out the morning by saying this is treason, these people will be dealt with and by the evening he had to accept a deal whereby prigozhin had gone to belarus and had been pardoned. you can't be a strongman if you look weak and thatis strongman if you look weak and that is where the repercussions come. we have to assume now that president putin is a severely weakened. in that president putin is a severely weakened. in terms of yevaen severely weakened. in terms of yevgeny prigozhin, _ severely weakened. in terms of yevgeny prigozhin, what - severely weakened. in terms of yevgeny prigozhin, what is - severely weakened. in terms of yevgeny prigozhin, what is the | yevgeny prigozhin, what is the outlook for him? we know belarus, the leader there is a good friend of president putin. i think alexander lukashenko, the leader there has his own agenda as well. he wanted to be seen to be a player in all of
5:07 am
this stock prigozhin, i expected some stage, you may decide to leave africa where he has made it —— big financial interests, he has been making a lot of money to his mercenaries who are there and who won't necessarily have been signed up to the russian defence ministry. i suspect he will be looking over his shoulder. he has a deal with president putin which means that he can leave russia. , ., . russia. he is free to leave. but he will _ russia. he is free to leave. but he will be _ russia. he is free to leave. but he will be asking - russia. he is free to leave. i but he will be asking himself as we all are, how safe is this guy? and i think we know resident putin has a long memory. it resident putin is to stay in power he has to restore his reputation as a strongman and that means dealing with enemies like prigozhin. what does this mean _ enemies like prigozhin. what does this mean in _ enemies like prigozhin. what does this mean in terms - enemies like prigozhin. what does this mean in terms of. enemies like prigozhin. what i does this mean in terms of the war in ukraine was among president zelensky immediately vocal on this saying we need to act swiftly even what has been going on over the weekend etc. what is your take on what it means for the conflict? i think there are _ means for the conflict? i think there are many _ means for the conflict? i think there are many lessons - means for the conflict? i think there are many lessons here l means for the conflict? i think i there are many lessons here was not the first thing of course is prigozhin had about five —
5:08 am
10,000 fighters in that area are very battle hardened and probably some of the best fighters that russia has. they will be probably less motivated than they were. on top of that it has become very clear over the weekend as we knew anyway but even more so perhaps, the russian army is deeply demoralised. that is why it didn't stand in the way of prigozhin�*s forces as they made their way into russia. and they i think has some sympathy with what he was saying which is we are badly led by defence minister shoigu but also by gerasimov, chief of the general forces. i think those complaints that were put forward by prigozhin was certainly resonate among russian troops. by the way, i think the other thing is, we didn't say dyslexia ukrainians be able to press forward very far over the weekend despite russian demoralisation. this is their opportunity now to show they can punch forward over age or moralised force. one that will be unsettled by what has happened but we don't know whether they have the ability
5:09 am
to punch forward. we whether they have the ability to punch forward.— whether they have the ability to punch forward. we don't know where president _ to punch forward. we don't know where president putin _ to punch forward. we don't know where president putin is, - where president putin is, currently but we would assume he wants to show quickly his force and power and strength, as you say because the conversation right now, the narrative is that he has been shown to be weak so what can he do next? we shown to be weak so what can he do next? ~ u, shown to be weak so what can he do next? ~ , ., . ~ ., do next? we can see how weak or stron: he do next? we can see how weak or strong he is _ do next? we can see how weak or strong he is and _ do next? we can see how weak or strong he is and if _ do next? we can see how weak or strong he is and if he _ do next? we can see how weak or strong he is and if he is _ strong he is and if he is strong he is and if he is strong we will see him moving against many of his inner circle failed to speak out in his favour over the weekend as events were unfolding. i'm very, very big figures including the head of the national security and all sorts of people. they were silent. if i was president putin and i wouldn't be very happy about that. if he was weak he won't be able to take action and hippie is strong we will see him moving against the defence minister sergei shoigu and others. , , minister sergei shoigu and others. , . , , ~ ., others. presumably in ukraine the will others. presumably in ukraine they will be — others. presumably in ukraine they will be on _ others. presumably in ukraine they will be on high _ others. presumably in ukraine they will be on high alert - others. presumably in ukraine they will be on high alert to i they will be on high alert to this morning and quite often at this morning and quite often at this time of day, sirens going off in keeve and other cities around ukraine as the military assault continues.—

"we lost com". i think that will be a sentence i never want to hear in my life. like lost com as in, we lost communication. were you aboard the vessel? yes, i was on board the vessel. i was on the ship.
5:12 am
i think i lost hope when we passed the 96 hours mark. that's when i lost hope. and that's when i even then, i sent a message to my family on shore, i said, "i'm preparing for the worst". that's when i lost hope. but my daughter, for example, she didn't lose hope until the call with the coastguard, when they basically informed us that they found debris. that's when she also lost hope. tell me just some memories that you have of your boy. so he would no go anywhere without his rubik's cube. so he used to teach himself through youtube how to solve the rubik's cube and he was really fast at it. i think his best was 12 seconds or something like that. what were your last moments or words that you shared with your husband and son? do you remember that?
5:13 am
um, well, wejust hugged and joked, actually. because shahzada was so excited to go down. he was like a little child. was that a lifelong dream of his? yes, absolutely. he had this ability of childlike excitement, so they both were so excited. how was mum? was mum excited about it? it how was mum? was mum excited about it? ., , , ., how was mum? was mum excited aboutit? , ., , about it? it was supposed to be shahzada and _ about it? it was supposed to be shahzada and i _ about it? it was supposed to be shahzada and i going _ about it? it was supposed to be shahzada and i going down i about it? it was supposed to be shahzada and i going down but| shahzada and i going down but then i stepped back and gave then i stepped back and gave the space to suleman because he really wanted to go down. again, seems like a really difficult question to ask but how do you begin to get closure? if that's even possible. is there such a thing?
5:14 am
i don't know. silence. ithink... he started so many amazing projects. he was involved in so many, he helped so many people and i think alina and i want to continue that legacy. is there anything else that you want to add, christine? umm. .i don't know. that i miss them. that i really, really miss them. yeah. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. today these young ukrainians are making artwork out of glass but they have had work on

5:24 am
on to fill the long hours. what song would eltonjohn kick off with, and what special guests would he bring on? # are you ready for love? # yes, i am. # are you ready? one of them was jacob lusk from gabriels, a band championed by elton. backstage earlier, it was clear the feeling is mutual. he wears the most incredible outfits. his voice is bigger than life. the way that he tickles those keys with his fingers is like nothing i've ever seen live, ever. but i think there's something about his music that speaks to the soul. elton's other guests included the killers' brandon flowers. but tonight was less about those surprises and more about one man and his incredible back catalogue. how are you enjoying the music? i think he's wonderful! and, god love him, he's one of the old ones, and us old ones rock! yeah, we rock! i mean, i've always loved all of his songs. i love that you canjust, like, blast them out,

5:26 am
and you can see where all the lightning has been. this is now mostly out to sea and the skies have cleared across many western areas. all the while, further south in lincolnshire, temperatures reached 32.2 celsius and many will be pleased to hear that the week ahead is looking a lot fresher but it is going to be a changeable one with some rain at times for our parks and gardens. so, let's have a look at the forecast, then, as we head through monday. that weather front is now well out to sea and behind it, we've got these fresher atlantic conditions, so in the morning, belfast, 12 degrees, 13 in birmingham and around 15 expected in norwich and london and it's going to be a beautiful sunny morning and a fine afternoon as well with scattered fair weather clouds developing and, yes, a few showers will develop across northern ireland, parts of scotland and northern england, too. how about the temperatures? about average for the time of the year — 18 in glasgow, 23 expected in london. now, tuesday's weather map shows another low pressure heading our way, so cloud and rain, yes, but this one
5:27 am
