disbanded and those made mistakes in the special military operation against ukraine. to reassert his authority, president putin had security chiefs at a late—night meeting. since his tv address on saturday, he stayed silent on saturday, he stayed silent on the mutiny that he is called an act of treachery. tonight, he addressed the nation again. it was the patriotism of our citizens, the consultation of russian society that played the decisive role in these events. this support helped us overcome the most difficult challenges that our motherland faced. thank you for this.- thank you for this. after weekend _ thank you for this. after weekend of _ thank you for this. after weekend of high - thank you for this. after weekend of high drama, j thank you for this. after - weekend of high drama, the russian capital, did not feel like a victory. the mutiny had failed but there was still more questions than answers about what it happened. and a lot of uncertainty about what is in store. russian officials have been queuing up to denounce mr prigozhin is a traitor. but

prime minister mikael also blamed the west today for what it happened. russia, he said, for challenged with stability we need to rally around the president. state tv was on message, claiming that russians at united to support vladimir putin denounced treachery. our enemies were in ecstasy during the mutiny, she said. the traitor prigozhin did a good job with western propaganda. but at the newspaper kiosk, there was a different reaction. in the dailies, it was less play in the west and much more, where is russia heading? russian newspapers are really interesting on this today even though the media landscape is heavily controlled by the state, some of the papers are saying things that the kremlin

with the mutiny russia has demonstrated its vulnerability to the whole world and to itself in this paper because what mr prigozhin done an unprecedented challenge to vladimir putin in cicero have long—term consequences for russia. and it takes him by surprise, two decades of surprise, two decades of surprise make two decades of rule made him stop yellow when everything is in the centre and everybody is doing everything, if you when you are an incredibly great not to lose your marbles this way. did not write off vladimir putin. one thing he has learned since coming to power is hard to stay there. at the atlantic council, he has

must be absorbed into the army by the weekend, but it's not even clear if they're still on the front lines. wagner's record is far from clean. wagner has been accused of carrying out human rights abuses in a number of places in ukraine, including bucha, which has become a symbol of some of the worst atrocities of this war. but this isn't the only conflict where they've been accused of targeting civilians. thousands of miles away, in the central african republic and mali, the un says they've carried out summary executions and torture. wagner has worked in africa for almost a decade. it provides private security for presidents and fight insurgents. it often claims its operatives are only instructors hired to train local armed forces. but analysts say the company's security operation is only half the picture. so wagner's operational strategy over the past two to three years has really been to expand both its military and

economic footprint in africa. so it has a network of companies associated with it by which it pursues commercial activities in the countries where it operates. and they'd be looking to expand that. investigations have found evidence that the money wagner makes extracting natural resources like african redwood and gold is being used to fund its activities in ukraine. this might explain why russia is keen to maintain wagner's presence in africa, despite this weekend's attempted mutiny. translation: in addition to relations with this - private military company, the governments of the central african republic and mali have official contacts with our leadership. at their request, several hundred soldiers are working in the central african republic as instructors, and this work will continue. it's not clear what the future of wagner in europe will beat,

it's not clear what the future of wagner in europe will be, but the kremlin will be reluctant for them to leave africa. as long as they command influence and natural resources . mayenijones, bbc news, kyiv. four of the stories and headlines. ajudge in the us state of colorado has sentenced a 23—year—old to life in prison without parole for shooting prison a 23—year—old to life in prison without death five people in a gay nightclub last november. he pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder of the shooting of colorado springs 17 people were injured and aldrich reached a plea bargain over what observers say could be a lengthy trial. sentencing the russian scientists for treason after convicting him of handing over state secrets to what it called representatives of foreign organisations. valerie was 71 years old is known as a

the indiana jones series, of course, has a long association with the uk. raiders of the lost ark was made partly at elstree studios just outside london, and this british premiere is where indiana jones himself, harrison ford, is bringing the character to a final conclusion in the five0film series. and i spoke to him earlier about saying goodbye to this particular role. it feels right because i'm satisfied with, so satisfied, so happy, so gratified that i was able to make this film. we, we, we... it took us a while to find the script, all of us. of course, they're keen for this movie to also attract a new generation of fans. and acting alongside indy is british fleabag star phoebe waller—bridge. it's like a dream come true. like, the ten—year—old inside of me gave mel the biggest high five - when i was in the middle of this movie. it's... it's cinema on the scale that i dreamt of when.

that's going to bring a rather breezy, cloudy, wet day to the north and the west of the uk. initially, northern ireland seeing the rain this morning and that rain will move across much of scotland, northern england, north wales and the north midlands. probably the best chance of staying dry with some hazy sunshine, although even here it'll be quite cloudy, will be across the south and the south—east. temperatures reaching highs of around 22 degrees — that is above the seasonal norm. a little bit fresh in the north and the west, but the humidity will start to increase as well. as we move through tuesday night, the rain begins to push away into the north sea. it'll leave a dry night with variable cloud, a bit of mist and murk, one or two showers. and it will feel a lot warmer and muggy as the humidity levels build, certainly across england and wales. so this is the picture for wednesday. we will have this weather front pushing into western areas gradually on wednesday. it's a cold front introducing some rain, cooler air. but ahead of it, we're in a wedge of warm and more humid air across england and wales. so variable cloud, a bit of sunshine depending on how much sunshine we get will depend on the temperatures. but it's going to be warm generally across england

and wales, one or two showers ahead of the rain band, which will be pushing into western areas. some of this could be heavy and thundery, but you'll see the temperatures coming down behind it. high teens here up to 25 degrees, though, central, southern and eastern england. then for thursday, it looks like that weather front may get stuck across the south—east of england. it could bring quite a bit of rainfall here, we think throughout the day. this other weather front will bring some enhanced showers to the north and the west of scotland, elsewhere, it's largely dry. so plenty of sunshine around on thursday, a bit of uncertainty to the position of this rain. it could be a bit further east across the near continent or a little bit further westwards. but at the moment, it looks like east anglia and the south—east could see some very much needed rainfall here. temperatures will be coming down, though. it will feel cooler and fresher across the board — high teens, low 20s. similar story for friday and the weekend, it stays unsettled. most of the rain in the north and the west. a better chance of staying dry with some sunshine in the south.
