legal annexation of annexation, his legal annexation of crimea and the war against ukraine. a key suspect in the murder of the black teenager stephen lawrence 30 years ago has been named for the first time after a bbc investigation christine dawood, wife of shahzada dawood and mother of 19—year—old suleman, who both died in the titan submersible, speaks to the bbc. hello. we start with nato and the alliance's first comments about the aborted mutiny by wagner mercenaries in russia over the weekend. the organisation's secretary general jens stoltenberg said the rebellion demonstrated that president vladimir putin's reasons for invading ukraine were flawed. here's what he said a little earlier. the events over the weekend are an internal russian matter.

and yet another demonstration of the big strategic mistake that president putin made with his legal annexation, his legal annexation of crimea and the war against ukraine. as russia continues its assault, it is even more important to continue our support to ukraine. earlier today, russian state media have published pictures of the defence minister, sergei shoigu, who hadn't been seen in public since the leader of the wagner mercenaries, yevgeny prigozhin, demanded his removal. it's unclear when the pictures were taken, they have not been verified by the bbc. it's the first such reference to him since the mutiny over the weekend. russian news agencies have reported that the wagner leader, yevgeny prigozhin, is still under investigation for trying to organise an armed munity, despite a claim at the weekend that the charges against were to be dropped. but there's been no public appearance of president putin,

or the leader of the wagner group, yevgeny prigozhin. sarah rainsford, our eastern europe correspondent in warsaw, gave us her assessment of the new pictures of sergei shoigu. we don't know when these pictures were filmed. in fact, the suspicion is that mr shoigu was down in the southern part of russia actually before the weekend, before this whole crisis began unfolding. but these pictures are being put out now by the defence ministry. and i think that's important, because it sends the signal that the man that yevgeny prigozhin, the leader of the wagner group tried to oust, is still in hisjob, at least for now. so the pictures show him poring over maps, consulting with commanders. the text that we saw that came from the defence ministry together with that video was talking about him even congratulating the russian military on what he called its successes against the "enemy," in inverted commas, in ukraine. so it is, i think, a response to the question, where is mr

shoigu? will he stay in hisjob? how badly damaged is russia and the authority of president putin by the mutiny that we saw play out over the weekend? those extraordinary scenes, really. i mean, you can't overstate how odd, how dramatic it all was. it ended with a supposed deal. and the question was, as part of yevgeny prigozhin keeping his freedom, did he get, if you like, the head of sergei shoigu? the answer seems to be for now no, that he is still in hisjob. he still has the confidence of russia's president, at least at the moment. yes, because, sarah, these images wouldn't have been put out without the kremlin's or president putin's say. that is significant, that he does appear to have putin's backing. yeah, i think that's critical. i mean, we haven't heard from vladimir putin himself. that's not really surprising. you know, he doesn't necessarily appear every day to comment on everything, even a crisis this big. in fact, it's quite characteristic for him to disappearfor some time, perhaps to see how things play out,

you know, how he should play things. but of course, remember, he came out of the weekend and he made a national address and he stood there and he described this mutiny as a stab in the back of russia. he said it was a betrayal. and that's really, really strong language for vladimir putin, a man who hates betrayal, perhaps more than anything else. so it was staggering then to see him or to see the kremlin say that as part of the deal to stop foreign forces in their move towards moscow, apparently, this man, yevgeny prigozhin, was essentially to be forgiven that the charges against him would be dropped. he was going to be allowed to go free. we were told to go to belarus. that looked an extremely weak response by the kremlin. a man who's known for his forceful response, for not backing down. it looked like a climb—down by the kremlin. now we're in a situation where we don't know where mr prigozhin is. there's even rumours that the criminal charges are still open. and the defence ministry, the defence minister, who mr prigozhin hates so much, is still in hisjob.

so, you know, things moving and changing all the time. extremely unsettling developments, certainly within russia, both politically and, of course, in terms of the military leadership there. events over the weekend unfolded rapidly. on friday, yevgeny prigozhin releases a video stepping up his feud with russia's military top brass. for the first time he questions putin's justification for invading ukraine. in response, russia's fsb security service opened a criminal case against him. by saturday, wagner fighters enter the southern russian city of rostov—on—don. they quickly take control of the all important army headquarters. under intense, pressure vladimir putin makes a televised address. he accuses prigozhin of treason" and a "stab in the back". he urges a consolidation of all forces. reports say wagner mercenary troops are heading north in a convoy. some estimates predict they will reach moscow by saturday evening. russian soldiers set up defence positions around moscow, according to photographs seen by the media.

presidentjoe biden speaks to the leaders of france, germany and the united kingdom about the crisis. belarusian president alexander lukashenko brokers a deal with prigozhin to de—escalate the situation. wagner fighters then vacate military headquarters in rostov—on—don. it's agreed prigozhin can live in belarus. our correspondent in kyiv, mayenijones, says ukraine is aiming to take maximum advantage of the russian military—wagner dispute. yes, i think we've said this several times, that this is as much a communications war as it is a physical one, and kyiv certainly this morning wanting to send the message that no matter what happens in the aftermath of this rebellion by wagner in russia, they're prepared to the head of the joint armed forces here in ukraine, sending a statement saying that although they haven't seen any evidence of enemy troops to the north of the country, or equipment, they are still strengthening their defences in the north.

they're getting their intelligence and armed forces galvanised, stepping up their activities up there. he said that it would be, quote, "suicide" for russia to launch any type of offensive from belarus. so kyiv very keen to say, you know, "we are prepared no matter what happens, we're ready to tackle any offensive by russia". mayeni, we've seen over the weekend that lots of ukraine's western allies have said that they are monitoring developments. but today, australia announcing more support, physicalsupport. absolutely. kyiv, i think, at this moment is looking to show that it has the strength of the western world, of its nato allies, and getting this announcement of further military aid by australia is certainly going to play into that narrative. president zelensky�*s already thanked australia for that donation. it didn't receive the fighterjets that it asked from australia, but it did get a significant donation and is part of a much wider effort by australia to support

ukraine at the moment. also president zelensky talking about speaking to president biden yesterday, being in touch with other allies, sending the message that because russia is a nuclear power, any instability there, could have repercussions much beyond ukraine and that ukraine is kind of at the front line of keeping russia from launching any nuclear aggression. so president zelensky reaching out to his western allies, saying, "we're on your side, we're your first line of defence, you should back us up". it was the uk's most notorious racist murder and it prompted a storm of protest about policing and race relations. now a new suspect in the stephen lawrence murder has been identified by a bbc investigation. he is matthew white, who died two years ago. he has never been publicly named before and the bbc has found that the metropolitan police seriously mishandled key evidence related to him.

stephen was 18 when he was murdered in a racist attack by a gang of young white men in south london in 1993. two of the original five prime suspects were jailed for the murder in 2012. the other three have not been convicted of the crime. our correspondent daniel de simone reports. stephen lawrence, the victim of the most notorious racist murder in british history. 30 years on, we reveal disastrous police failures and identify a key suspect for the first time. stephen was killed by a gang of young white men in eltham, south london, in 1993. the met police's handling of the case led to the force being branded institutionally racist. they had no intention of finding the people who killed my son. i've got no confidence in these people to do anything when it comes down to this case.

there were five prime suspects. two were finally convicted a decade ago. but stephen's friend, duwayne brooks, who survived the attack, said there were six attackers. our investigation today identifies a new suspect for the first time, this man, matthew white, and reveals serious failings by the met. white's stepfather contacted the met after the murder, but the wrong name for him was put into a database and the lead was not pursued. a new investigator traced the right man 20 years later. i knocked on his door and said, "i'm coming to talk to you about stephen lawrence murder", to which he said, "you're rushing thisjob, aren't you, officer?" he actually said that to me. the stepfather said white admitted to being present at the attack. it wasn'tjust him. another witness had given a statement to the met years before, in 2000, saying white told him

he was part of the attack. and i've got surveillance photos from 1993, that show white looked like the unidentified lead attacker described by stephen's friend and eyewitnesses. white died in this bedsit in 2021, a year after the met stopped investigating stephen's murder. scotland yard told us matthew white was arrested and interviewed in 2000 and in 2013, and that prosecutors twice said there wasn't enough evidence to charge. the evidence relating to matthew white implicates the three prime suspects, who remain free. deputy assistant commissioner matt ward told us... "unfortunately, too many mistakes were made in the initial investigation, and the impact of them continues to be seen. 0n the 30th anniversary

of stephen's murder, commissioner sir mark rowley apologised for our failings. and i repeat that apology today." after so many police failings, will there ever be fulljustice for stephen lawrence? 0ur correspondent daniel de simone is live with us now. tell us more about what you have found out. we tell us more about what you have found out-— found out. we found out this man matthew white _ found out. we found out this man matthew white who _ found out. we found out this man matthew white who was - found out. we found out this man matthew white who was all - found out. we found out this man matthew white who was all over i found out. we found out this man i matthew white who was all over the case from the start was related aspect, treated as a witness for several years, the met could have had reason to treat him as a suspect early on in 93 but they missed a key leader, a relative of matthew white tried to approach them, it was handled badly, the wrong information was entered into the database and he was entered into the database and he was not seen for 20 years. when he was not seen for 20 years. when he was seen he said matthew white admitted being present, he said

stephen lawrence deserved it. they mishandled the description by stephen lawrence's friend, duwayne brooks, so his status as the suspect in the case which the met police has confirmed what sort of correct in our record, it was that he was a suspect and we are setting out how the police failed to respond to him properly and witnesses against him. evidence you have discovered of police failings in this investigation.- police failings in this investiuation. . �* , police failings in this investiuation. ., �* , . investigation. that's right, a number of — investigation. that's right, a number of different - investigation. that's right, a number of different failings. investigation. that's right, a i number of different failings. in 1993 and that is widely accepted to have failed and to have failed to take opportunities. the met has said in response to my findings that it is apologised for its failings in the case, it said the impact of what happened is still being felt what we have said there were other failings later on, later investigations also did not properly follow leads so the

met has said it try to seek, get a charging decision a couple of times in later years but prosecutors ruled it out. ., ~' ,, in later years but prosecutors ruled it out. . ~ i. . ., it out. thank you so much and there is more of — and for viewers in the uk, you can watch daniel's full report on bbc one at 8.30 tonight, or on the bbc iplayer now. you can also read the full investigation online at bbc.co.uk/news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's take a look at some other stories making news today. a study has found people in the uk are less likely to survive treatable conditions such as breast cancer and stroke than those in other rich nations. the review by the king's fund think tank says the problem may be directly linked to the performance of the nhs. it says below—average spending on the uk health service has led to fewer staff and equipment

than systems elsewhere. police in northern ireland can now charge people with non—fatal strangulation. strangulation is the second most—common method of female murder in the uk, after attacks with a knife or sharp instrument. and dee forbes, the boss of irish broadcaster rte, has resigned with immediate effect, after controversy over undisclosed payments to a high—profile presenter. tv and radio host ryan tubridy was paid 345,000 euros more than had been published in the organisation's earning reports. he received the payments between 2017 and 2022. you're live with bbc news. in an exclusive interview, christine dawood, who lost her husband and son when a submersible imploded in the atlantic last week, has told the bbc she was supposed to be on board, but gave her place to her 19—year—old son.

shahzada and suleman dawood were among the five men who were on board the titan. christine dawood has been speaking to nomia iqbal. the sentence, "we lost comm," i think that would be a sentence i will never want to hear in my life again. like, lost comm, as in, we lost communication. were you aboard the vessel, were you here? yes, i was aboard the vessel, i was on the ship. i think i lost i hope when we passed the 96—hours mark. that's when i lost hope. and that's when i sent a message to my family onshore. isaid, "i'm preparing for the worst." that's when i lost hope. but my daughter, for example, she didn't lose hope until... until the call with the coastguard, when they basically informed us that they'd found debris.

tell me just some memories that you have of your boy. so, he would not 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? well, wejust hugged and joked, actually. because shahzada was so excited to go down. he was like a little child. was it a lifelong dream of his? yes, absolutely. he had this ability of childlike excitement. they both were so excited. and how did mum feel

about it, were you excited? i was really happy for them because both of them really, really wanted to do that for a very long time. it was supposed to be shahzada and i going down. but then i stepped back and gave the space to suleman because he really wanted to go. this 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? i don't know. ithink... he started so many amazing projects, he was involved in so many... he helped so many people and i think we really want to continue that legacy.

is there anything else you want to add, christine? that i miss them. that i really, really miss them. yeah. the prince of wales is launching a five—year project called homewards, which will aim to end long—term homelessness in six locations across the country. daniella relph reports. last week in windsor, meeting a few of those who'll work with him on his homewards project. some are well known faces whose life has been impacted by homelessness. what does home mean to you? home is feeling safe and protected in my own bed. home is a safe space - where i get to rebuild myself. i don't believe it needs to be this way. and a short film has been released to mark the launch of this ambitious project for the prince of wales.

he believes ending homelessness is realistic and vital. over the next two days, he'll reveal and visit the six locations that his homewards project is targeting across the uk. the prince's team has stressed this is an area where he's already shown his commitment. at the passage, a homeless charity in london, he was put to work in the kitchen. this was familiar territory for him. he first came here with his mother as an 11—year—old, and has been back publicly and privately several times since. on an engagement here seven years ago, he summed up why this cause meant so much. the visits i made as a child to this place left a deep and lasting impression upon me about how important it is to ensure that everyone in our society, especially the poorest, are treated with respect, dignity and kindness. what he saw and learnt at the passage and other homeless charities is at the heart

of the project he'll launch today. my experience of him personally is that this is an issue that he has been passionate about since the very first day that he came here as a young child. he totally understands, mainly because of the interactions he has with our clients. nothing is ever sugar—coated at the passage. he hears it from the horse's mouth, and i know that he is totally passionate about ending homelessness. the passion may be there, the visits to homelessness projects numerous, but he comes at the subject from a place of immense privilege. it also touches on areas that some may see as political. prince william's team is aware of that view, but stressed that he has spoken to, and has the support of senior politicians across many parties for his homewards project. it is something that those working with him say he has put his heart and soul into,

so that homelessness becomes rare, brief and unrepeated. the duchess of york is recuperating after an operation following a diagnosis for breast cancer. the 63—year—old underwent the procedure at a private clinic in london last week before returning home to windsor, where she's recovering with family members. her spokesman said the surgery went well and that doctors have said her prognosis is good. now, it was the show to end all shows, as sir eltonjohn brought the sun down on the glastonbury festival in his final performance in the uk. he bid farewell to his adoring fans on a perfect summer's evening in somerset and watching with them was our culture editor, katie razzall. # i played the silver ball... spectacular from the very start. and opening with a song he hadn't performed live in ten years. # that deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball...

it's what the weekend has been building towards. eltonjohn on the pyramid stage, for the final uk date of his farewell tour. the crowds are stretching way into the distance, and people further in have been here since this morning. it was all about claiming a spot near the front, and paying tribute to a performer with a love of flamboyant outfits. a rocket man who, before tonight, had never performed at glastonbury. the crowds grew through the day. wowed first... ..by sophie ellis—bextor. then later, blondie and lil nas x. # i'm gonna take my horse down the old town road... and guessing games went 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. 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. i 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 is one of the old ones, and us old ones rock. i mean, i've always loved all of his songs. i love that you canjust blast them out, sing along. he'sjust iconic, isn't he? just so special to be here. might be the last time we ever see him performing live. - you're going to make me cry. i can't... i can't even believe i'm here watching him. at glastonbury. mwah.

elton delivered hit after hit, and a grand finale that took us from a farm in somerset right up into space. # i'm a rocket man... you can catch up on all of the glastonbury action on our website and the app on your smartphone and tablet. plenty of action there. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. it's been very humid of late and over the next few days, the weather is going to turn that bit fresher. there'll still be sunshine in the forecast, but at times there will also be some rain. today we've got this transient ridge of high pressure across us, so more settled day than it was yesterday. but having said that, we still are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be heavy,

but there's less of a chance of them being thundery and quite blowy winds as well. now, some of us missing the showers will have a pleasant day. temperatures up to about 20, 23 degrees in the north. we're looking at 15 to 20 degrees, which will still feel pleasant if you're out of the showers. heading on through the evening and overnight, many of the showers will eventually fade, but through the night, thicker cloud will start to arrive in northern ireland and then we'll see some rain coming in and the wind will pick up too across northern ireland and western scotland. these are overnight lows, 9 to 13 degrees. so then, into tomorrow, we start off with sunshine in the east and also the south, but the cloud and rain already in the west pushes into northern ireland, scotland, northern england and wales. drier as we push further south, but increasingly cloudy and our temperatures 15 to about 22 degrees. so, moving further into the week again for wednesday, what we're looking at is this cold front coming in now. we're in between a warm

and a cold front. so ahead of the cold front, we're in humid conditions. but behind it here, we're looking at fresher conditions coming our way. so a lot of cloud with some splashes of rain across parts of england and wales. then in comes a cold front across scotland, northern ireland, getting into northern england through the day. and behind that, fresher conditions follow. and here, too, we'll be looking at sunshine and showers. temperatures in the west, 15 to 18, but up to 2a in the southeast. for thursday, the weather front, the cold front might just stall across the far south east of england. if that happens, then we will see some persistent rain for much of the day on and off. whereas as we push further north away from that rain, we're looking at something drier and brighter. yes, there'll be areas of cloud at times, thick enough even for the odd shower. and temperature wise, during the course of thursday, what we're looking at a range of 15 in the north to a high of maybe 22 as we push down to the far southeast. that's 72 in old money.
