fact of what happens, people certainly know it happens, and putin spoke about it on television as it was happening, but essentially at this point, we saw the problem, there is no longer anything to see here, we have pulled down the emergency situation in moscow and of the country, you can go about your lives as normal. nothing has really changed, behind the scenes, all the while, behind the scenes, everyone understands the colours trying to understands the colours trying to understand where it has landed, the problems it is going to have to solve going forward which are still quite considerable. let’s solve going forward which are still quite considerable.— solve going forward which are still quite considerable. let's talk about those, quite considerable. let's talk about those. emily. _ quite considerable. let's talk about those. emily. to — quite considerable. let's talk about those, emily, to you, _ quite considerable. let's talk about those, emily, to you, the _ quite considerable. let's talk about those, emily, to you, the us - those, emily, to you, the us secretary of state said yesterday, events expose real cracks in the kremlin. how big are the cracks? how do you think this is in reality playing out inside the russian political elites?— playing out inside the russian political elites? that is the key cuestion. political elites? that is the key question- i _ political elites? that is the key question. i think— political elites? that is the key question. i think it _ political elites? that is the key question. i think it is _ political elites? that is the key question. i think it is very - political elites? that is the key i question. i think it is very hard to know_ question. i think it is very hard to know with — question. i think it is very hard to know with the events of the past few days have _ know with the events of the past few days have said something in train —— set something in a train, which is

properly saw as untenable, and almost any solution would be better than either prison or... either we seem to be seeing some indication that whatever aspects of a deal they might have been, have been picked apart, so reports are coming in from all sources in russia that the criminal case against him is actually still being pursued. we have not yet seen him end up in belarus, even if he is in belarus, think more or less that is where the russians despite russians would want him, even what belarus is to the russian security services. you may not feel very safe there. the reality is that he has become very important to the system and to a lot of the things that russia does domestically come internationally, not just fighting domestically come internationally, notjust fighting in ukraine, but fighting in syria, fighting a very parts of africa, providing regime services to allies of the kremlin around the world, an disinformation campaigns, and various internet ——

internet infrastructure projects and there will be services that the kremlin is not going to be very happy to give up and may not be easily transferable to somebody else's leadership. this isjust a number of challenges again that i think the kremlin has not really had time yet to figure out how it will solve them. as a result, i think yevgeny prighozin is going to feel himself to be in limbo for some period of time. not really sure what his fate is. . , period of time. not really sure what his fate is. ., , ., ~ period of time. not really sure what his fate is. ., , ., ,, ., his fate is. olga, lets talk more about the _ his fate is. olga, lets talk more about the wagner _ his fate is. olga, lets talk more about the wagner group. - his fate is. olga, lets talk more about the wagner group. they. about the wagner group. they numbered some 25,000, we think. all of the world. notjust in ukraine, in the middle east, in africa as well. yevgeny prighozin, notjust some kind of figurehead, but a man who has devoted loyal members of this group. he was a bit of a cult figure, wasn't he? what do you think will happen to those tens of thousands of mercenaries, fighters,

but it's thought hundreds of people lost their lives. the bbc has now heard evidence from several survivors who accuse the greek coastguard of sailing away from the boat, when it was clearly in serious difficulty. the heavily overcrowded vessel, which had set out from libya, went down around 50 miles south—west of the coastal town of pelos. our correspondent khalid karamat from the bbc�*s urdu service has the story. this boat left libya with around 700 people on board. more than half were pakistanis. this is haseeb rahman before he made this perilous trip. just one of the 12 pakistani men who survived. in athens, i spoke to him via video call from a greek detention centre. he told me he was thrown into the water and clambered back onto the sinking vessel. translation: i was in the water for an hour. l i swam to the ship as it was far away. they had to put a speedboat and were rescuing, but had gone far away. i tracked down another survivor, mohamed hamza. his testimony contradicts the greek

authorities' account that the migrants refused assistance. he said the boat's engine had failed. it hadn't moved for hours before it sank, and their cries for help were ignored. translation: the ship that came at night. - we were telling them we don't want food or water. just rescue us. we were screaming, help, help. this neighbourhood has a large, thriving migrant community, including a large pakistani diaspora. the street could easily be confused for one in pakistan. and it is here that pakistanis from all over europe are coming, looking for information, any clue, anything that can help them find their loved ones. this man is looking for a teenager, sayeed ali nadeem. he told me of huge sums his family had paid to send nadeem to europe. the agent has taken 2.5 million rupees and isn't answering calls now. the mother is really worried and so is the father. the boy is only 15 years.

for families searching for the missing relatives, there is little hope left. meanwhile, the greek authorities have rejected claims they didn't act quickly enough to the unfolding tragedy, insisting those on board told coast guards they wanted to be left alone so they could travel to italy. but the survivors' testimonies continue to cast doubt on that version of events. khalid karamat, bbc news, athens. we ta ke we take you to saudi arabia, the holiest site, macca, these are live pictures as the muslim programmes circle around the second day of the hajj. the pilgrimage is expected to break records, with more than 26 million people from many countries expected to take part. all muslims are expected to take part in the hajj in their life if possible.

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... if that doesn't get you swaying, i don't know what will! before we go, if you hate the feeling of something creeping up to you, spare a thought for this kayaker. this spectacular footage has been captured from a drone, hovering above australia's iconic bondi beach, and it shows a

once endangered humpback whale following the kayaker through the water, reaching as well at times. australia enforces strict rules on how close are allowed to get to a man in a watercraft. luckily for this person, they don't actually apply when the mammal chooses to approach! orwhen apply when the mammal chooses to approach! or when someone is in a kayak to stop there is a once—in—a—lifetime experience. you would hope so! stay with us here on bbc news. i'm samantha simmons, will be back shortly. 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 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. 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. 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. our temperatures — 15 to about 22 degrees. 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. ahead of the cold front, we're in humid conditions,

but behind it here, we're looking at fresher conditions coming our way. 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. here, too, we'll be looking at sunshine and showers. temperatures in the west, 15 to 18, but up to 24 in the southeast for thursday. in the southeast. for thursday, the cold weather 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. as we push further north away from that rain, we're looking at something drier and brighter. yes, it'll be areas of cloud at times — thick enough even for the odd shower. temperature wise, during the course of thursday, 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.
