there has been no sign of yevgeny prigozhin. his news service tells cnn he will answer questions when he has proper communication. one thing, though, is clear. this insurrection marks the most profound threat we've seen to putin's 23-year-long rule, and the u.s. secretary of state says the turmoil may not be over yet. >> it's too soon to tell exactly where this is going to go. and i suspect that this is a moving picture, and we haven't seen the last act yet. but we can say this. first of all, what we've seen is extraordinary, and i think you see cracks emerge that weren't there before. >> the military revolt lasted less than 24 hours, was it was long enough to bring into question vladimir putin's aura of invincibility and stability, damage his self-proclaimed reputation as a leader who never forgets a slight, never tolerates disloyalty.

cnn international correspondent ivan watson reports on how those crucial hours played out from beginning to end. >> reporter: a weekend of chaos and drama in russia. mercenaries declared a mutiny and then called it off in under 24 hours. yevgeny prigozhin issued a call for rebellion. the head of the wagner mercenary group accusing top russian military commanders of gross mismanagement of the war in ukraine. then prigozhin released video of an alleged russian air strike on a wagner camp in ukraine, demanding revenge. russia's defense ministry denied the attack, and soon russia's top prosecutor announced criminal charges against prigozhin. then in the early hours of saturday, prigozhin followed through on his threats, sending his fighters across the border

from ukraine back into russia. footage surfaced at dawn showing wagner fighters surrounding the military headquarters in the southern russian city of rostov. some locals stood nearby watching. at around 7:30 a.m., prigozhin was then shown dressing down senior russian military leaders and issuing demands. >> translator: again, we came here. we want to receive the chief of general staff and shyoigu. until they show up, we are here, blockading the city of rostov and we'll go to moscow. >> reporter: video showed columns of wagner troops heading north towards the capital, along the way, claiming control of military installations in the voronezh region. footage later showed at least one russian helicopter narrowly

avoiding a missile. at 10:00 a.m. moscow time, russian president vladimir putin made a televised address to the nation, calling the rebellion a stab in the back. "all those who deliberately chose the path of treachery, who prepared an armed mutiny, who chose the path of blackmail and terrorist methods will face inevitable punishment and will answer both to the law and to our people." . the kremlin announced counterterrorism measures, tightening security in moscow. but by saturday night, suddenly a kremlin reversal. putin's spokesman announced a deal. prigozhin released an audio message saying his troops could turn around and go back to field camps to avoid shedding russian blood. supporters chanted "wagner" as fighters drove out of rostov, giving prigozhin handshakes as he left in this suv.

the kremlin says it's dropped charges and prigozhin will go to belarus, while promising his fighters contracts with the russian military. for now, a crisis apparently averted. but this very public betrayal and the mercenaries' short but unimpeded march on moscow reveals deep weakness at the heart of the putin regime. ivan watson, cnn. >> there appears to be no clear winners russia from this rebellion. the head of the mute news wagner group has agreed to exile in belarus to avoid prosecution. but for now, no sign of with a he might be, adding to a long list of questions over his future. cnn's fred pleitgen has our report. >> reporter: there is still a lot unclear about what's going to be in store in the future for the wagner private military company. one of the things we've heard from the kremlin is they say that the fighters for wagner, buzz of their military achievements on the battlefield will be able to apply to join the russian military.

that's something that's been in the cards for a while there was a decree by the russian defense minister where he said all of the private military companies needed to have contracts with the russian army if they wanted to operate in the future. now yevgeny prigozhin or the wagner private company always said they were not going to do that. and that was also one of the things that escalated the feud between prigozhin and the russian military leadership. but all this is about a lot more than that. the private military company wagner is one thing. but yevgeny prigozhin owns a lot more than that. he has media holdings, like for instance the internet research agency which meddled heavily in the 2016 election. prigozhin was indicted for that. what happens to his media empire? then of course there is all his dealings in the middle east. oil fields in syria, in africa exploiting things like gold and diamonds, also training local forces there. so there are definitely still a lot of questions about whether

or not yevgeny prigozhin, when he goes to exile in belarus, will retain any sort of control over that or if other solutions will be found by the russian leadership. fred pleitgen, cnn, berlin. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has spoken with allies over the weekend. that includes u.s. president joe biden, canadian prime minister justin trudeau and polish president andrew duda. there was an agreement on what was happening and why and how toe respond. he also thanked the u.s. for continued support. >> translator: now the russian occupiers are suffering losses, which we need. each of their losses is a long-term strengthening of freedom. we also discussed further strengthening of ukrainian troops. and i thank our partners for understanding our needs, long-range needs. i'm especially grateful to president biden and the united states for the reliability of patriots. we discussed the strengthening of artillery and other things.

>> but some u.s. officials are still amazed the conflict ended so quickly. they expected the uprising to escalate. cnn's alex marquardt has more now, reporting in from washington. >> reporter: the abrupt ending to yevgeny prigozhin's march on moscow was sooner and less violent than u.s. national security and intelligence officials expected. a u.s. official tells cnn that they assessed that there would be a lot of fighting and bloodshed as wagner forces pushed up from southern russia towards moscow. instead, there is very little resistance from russia's army, security services and others, and wagner troops were well on their way to the capital before prigozhin shockingly called the advance to a halt and ordered his troops to turn around. a deal supposedly brokered by belarus also surprising the u.s. but the insurrection itself was predicted by the u.s. intelligence community, according to multiple sources speaking to cnn. movement and buildup of wagner troops, equipment and weapons was observed by analysts and a

rebellion was believed to be coming soon. intelligence officials briefed the gang of eight in congress. the leaders of both chambers from both parties as well as the head of the intelligence committees. here is congressman mike turner, the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee. >> this is not a weekend trip he is taking, taking his convoy, his military convoy up to moscow. there is a number of accomplices, including as we saw some of the russian people on the border with ukraine who clearly support the wagner group, in contrast to their support for the russian government. this is something that would have had to have been planned for a significant amount of time to be executed in the manner which it was. >> reporter: still, the speed and audacity of the move caught many by surprise, along with his sudden decision to stop his troops in their tracks. alex marquardt, cnn, washington. professor math you schmidt teaches national security at the university of new haven, joins me now from connecticut. it's good to see you. >> good to see you, john.

>> prigozhin's fighters came within 200 miles of moscow and suddenly retreated. here is the former director of the cia, general david petraeus on what he believes may have happened. >> clearly, prigozhin lost his nerve. he was, as you noted earlier, within roughly two hours' drive of the moscow outskirts where they were starting to prepare defensive positions. this rebellion, although it had some applause along the way, didn't appear to be generating the kind of support that he had hoped it would. >> so in other words, if you're going to take vienna, take vienna. but is that how you see it? is that the most likely explanation here, cold feet? >> you know, i used to work for the general at fort leavenworth, and i respect him absolutely, but he may not be right. he could be right. but there are other explanations as for why prigozhin may have stopped. we don't exactly know what happened in this deal. we don't know when the phone calls were made. they have made the phone call

and that's why he stopped. i just think it's really early to draw conclusions on this yet, and i would be wary of anyone who couches this as though they know something, even general petraeus. >> well, there is a perception out there, a common belief if you like in these early days that vladimir putin has been left seriously weakened by all of this. >> again, i have to posit the opposite possibility, right. in the end, what do we know happened here? he stopped it in 24 hours. right. this guy, prigozhin, his nominal enemy is now safely ensconced in a neighboring state in belarus under surveillance, probably in fear for his life at any moment. and the 25,000 plus mercenaries that were behind prigozhin are now going to be folded into putin's direct command, right? and some of these interest best fighters in ukraine, which he now gets to direct. the only thing we don't know is did prigozhin get some signoff on getting rid of the defense

minister and general gerasimov. this looks very much to me like a putin win. and the most important thing here is the elites, the oligarchs, that everybody keeps waiting to turn on putin, well, this was their shot, and they didn't take it, john. so i think that hope that putin is going to be ousted is really gone now, because there is no other insurrection come anything fi time soon. >> there is no other prigozhin in the wings? >> there is no other prigozhin in the wings. look, coup d'etats aren't military-only events. they're political events with military components. and prigozhin provided the military component of this, but he couldn't come through with the political side. he didn't have political support. and the fact that nobody gave him that support in moscow is indicative that putin still has control, control of the security services, and he has the control

and loyalty of at least enough of the elites. >> i want you the listen to the u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken on how he sees the bigger picture here for russia and putin. >> 16 months ago, russian forces were on the doorstep of kyiv, ukraine, thinking they were going to take the city in a matter of days, erase the country from the map. now they had to be focused on defending moscow, russia's capital against mercenaries of putin's own making. so this raises lots of profound questions that will be answered i think in the days and weeks ahead. >> so this coup d'etat may have been a win for putin in some ways. overall works you say this war of choice in ukraine has been the biggest disaster of his presidency and just keeps getting worse, and u.s. intelligence putin will have if any military victories in ukraine. how does this play into presidential elections which are scheduled for next march?

>> you mean in russia? >> yeah. >> just to be clear. >> yeah, in russia. >> i don't think it plays much at all. putin has said up a system that leads heavily for his advantage, and that system will stay in place. look, in the west, when we talk about this, we are constantly talking about it as though it's the mirror image of our electorate, as though the russian public and what they think matters in the election of their president the way what the american public thinks matters in our elections. and it's simply not that way. right. and second, again, this caught d'etat attempt, if that's what it was, there is no indication that the russian population was cheering prigozhin on, right. so i think we need to step back and assess the facts on the ground that we can see here. this war in ukraine is the worst war that russia has waged since 1917. it's been a disaster for them. and it will continue to be a

disaster. i'm sure of that on the battlefield. but that doesn't mean putin is weak. >> has ukraine been able to take advantage of this, or will they be able to take advantage of this? how do you see it? >> i'm going have to go into an american football metaphor here, unfortunately. it's like if your enemy team fumbles the football. they can fumble it and recover at the same spot they fumbled, meaning nothing really changes. they could fumble it. your team could recover it and fall on the same spot, meaning you're not really in that much of a different position, right. you can recover it, run it back for a touchdown, or you could recover it and then fail to convert to points on a drive, right. ukraine has an opportunity here, but it was over very fast, right. and we haven't seen that they've been able to convert on that opportunity. so i don't think it's actually changed the battlefield yet. it may. but at this point, i don't see any change right now. >> okay. matthew schmid, grate to you on.

good to hear a different point of view as always. thanks for coming in. >> my pleasure. extreme weather was on full display sunday just outside of indianapolis. the national weather service says it's almost certainly a tornado. they'll make it official after a survey team reports back monday. here is what it looked like for a fire company responding to a collapsed building. at least 75 homes have been damaged and a apartment building under construction have been destroyed. there are no reports of serious injuries. heat has turned deadly in texas. temperatures of 119 or 48 degrees celsius being blamed for the death of a 31-year-old man and his 14-year-old step-son while hiking in big bend national park. the soaring temperatures are raising concerns about the stability of the power grid in texas. there is no relief in the forecast this week and cities have started opening cooling centers. we'll take a break here on cnn. when we come back, vladimir putin has ruled russia unchecked

for decades. we'll explain why the recent armed uprise big the wagner group is so significant to his iron grip on power. plus, ukraine takes advantage of russia's chaotic weekend, claiming advances around the city of bakhmut. the power to connect, is t the power to change. connect two dots and change the whole plot. connect one day and change the long week. connect to one thought and change what you speak. scared of e storms? change the thunder. d't share the dream. eam another. connect and ange. a face. a plac a dance. the towns. the fight. the night. the light. anything you like. connect, connect, connect. connect, and change. connecting changes everything. no one connects more than at&t. ♪

hour deal brokered by belarus, but not before cracks appeared on putin's hold on power. he has held power for almost a quarter century. at no point since putin was named acting president by boris yeltsin in 1999. the price of that is loyalty. though he had a falling out with the putin government as recently as may, yevgeny prigozhin said, quote, i love the motherland. i listen to putin. here's what cnn fareed zakaria told jim sciutto on a potential fallout from the insurrection. >> to me, jim, the more important sign here was prigozhin's own remarks when he basically decided to frontally attack the rational for invading ukraine. this is the most interesting thing that's happened in some ways in the last 48 hours. prigozhin, who has been fighting the ukrainians and has been

losing his troops to them says the whole war was started on false pretexts. the ukrainians did not provoke us. we decided to do it because we wanted to control them because we -- a whole bunch of oligarchs who had been making money in the donbas. he provides a kind of alternative narrative that is not one that looks good for putin. it completely contradicts putin's own narrative about ukraine being taken over by neo-nazis. and i wonder whether that will turn out to be, you know, if things go down badly for putin, i wonder if this becomes a central issue, which is that his own guy says the whole rational for this war is a lie. >> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has spoken with close allies about the turmoil in russia, saying the crisis is a result of russia's own aggression. >> translator: the longer

russian aggression lasts, the more degradation it causes in russia itself. one of the manifestations of this degradation is russian aggression is gradually returning to its home harbor. in we have changed our assessments of what is happening in russia. well see the situation in the same way and know how to respond. >> meantime, on the front lines, ukraine's military claims to have gained some ground around the beleaguered city of bakhmut over heavy fighting over the weekend. and russian efforts they say to retake territory has failed. further south, ukrainian forces have carried out more than a thousand firing missions resulting in heavy russian losses according to one commander. cnn cannot verify those claims. cnn's ben wedeman has more on ukraine's front line battle. >> reporter: after the brief but intense drama in russia, it's back to the war in ukraine.

while wagner chief yevgeny prigozhin was on the rampage against officials in moscow, officials in kyiv were largely silent, following napoleon's advice, never to interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake. briefly, many ukrainians entertained the hope that civil war or chaos in russia would lead to an early end to war, but prigozhin's sudden about-face dashed those hopes. sunday ukrainian presidential adviser said in an interview he was hoping for something more concrete, perhaps a civil war in russia. he said he was still confident that will eventually happen. while attention was diverted away from the front, the fighting went on. sunday, ukrainian officials claimed their forces had seized a kilometer, a kilometer stretch of trenches near bakhmut.

they said they killed, wounded, or captured an entire battalion. they didn't give exact numbers. it was a limited tactical success. the much anticipated counteroffensive has yet to hit its stride. i'm ben wedeman, cnn, reporting from zaporizhzhia. images of a russian military aircraft allegedly shot down by the wagner group now circulating on social media. russia's ministry of defense has not commented on the loss of any military aircraft, but this type of plane is sometimes used as an airborne command and communications center. the cause of the crash is not clear, but the images of the plane's final plunge shows it being hit by a missile or a rocket, which would indicate that was the cause. a russian military blogger said on saturday that the wagner group shot the plane down with ten people on board. wagner founder yevgeny prigozhin has offered to pay compensation to the relatives of the dead crewmembers.

in syria, at least nine people were killed, dozens wounded when russian planes bombed a city in idlib province on sunday. residents say this was the second day of air strikes and happened ahead of a muslim festival. sunday's attack is the most fatal in syria so far this year. ahead here on "cnn newsroom," belarus's president emerged as a deal maker who stopped the if uprising. more on one alexandr lukashenko. beijing emphasizing its closeness with russia and vladimir putin days after he faced one of the biggest challenges to his leadership in decades. we'll tell you what they're saying. that's next. ♪ listen to the lion's roar! roar!! see the moon and the stars at the planetarium.

welcome back. i'm john vause. you're watching "cnn newsroom." back to our top story now. uncertainty and confusion across russia after the weekend's insurrection. despite a current calm on the streets of moscow, the whereabouts of wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin remains unknown. and vladimir putin was last seen on state television on saturday delivering an urgent address to the nation on armed rebellion. he has not commented publicly since a deal was struck to end this crisis, at least in the short-term. russian state media posted a behind the scenes clip of

putin's address to the nation and a four day-old interview where he talks about his working day and how he deals with the uprising in ukraine. some residents shared their thoughts. >> translator: it was unexpected and somehow incomprehensible and stressful, of course. very stressful. >> translator: there are very serious problems in the country, and they need to be solved. people who can no longer tolerate it, they resort to such radical methods as prigozhin. >> translator: how can one, a situation where we are in a conflict in another country have an internal war as well?" >> belarusian president alexandr lukashenko has been one of vladimir putin's close allies. but their relationship and lukashenko's dependency on russia goes back a long way. cnn's nic robertson has details.

>> reporter: alexandr lukashenko rules belarus like a personal fiefdom, president since its creation in 1994, he brooks little opposition. dubbed europe's last dictator, lukashenko has come to be defined by his fealty to his powerful neighbor, russia's president vladimir putin, transforming belarus into a nearby vassal state. putin used lukashenko and belarus to help launch his 2022 invasion of ukraine, driving tanks over belarus' border towards kyiv and using belarusian skies to bomb ukrainians. >> translator: we will never be enemies of russia, and we will never look disprovingly at russia. this is the country closest to us, the people closest us to. i think that while we're in power, we will stick to this tendency. if it were otherwise, it would be like in ukraine.

>> reporter: reality was the war deepened lukashenko's already growing dependence on putin. lukashenko's flawed 2020 election victory claiming 80% of the vote described by western governments as fraudulent triggered nationwide protests. "get out" they shouted. he responded with force. the woman who ran against him, whose husband lukashenko had already jailed fled the country. >> thousands of people are in prisons for politically motivated cases. hundreds of thousands had to flee belarus because of repressions. and one day we can wake up and see the consolation prize for putin. >> reporter: the price escalated. lukashenko called on putin for help, was bailed out, but at a cost. most recently, putin tightening his grip, pledging to station

nuclear weapons in belarus. like putin, lukashenko is a product of his soviet upbringing. his belarus often seems stuck in that past. unlike russia, the kgb was never disbanded or even renamed. before entering politics, lukashenko ran a collective farm, later often had himself filmed as president digging up carrots or potatoes to show he never forgot his roots. but behind the folksy farmer image lurked a thug, often turning to strong-arm tactics. well a belarusian dissident was a passenger on board a plane flying over the country in 2021, belarus air traffic control called in a bomb threat, causing the plane to land and the man was arrested. like so many dictator, lukashenko has an eye on the

future, creating a dynasty, grooming his young son, sometimes dressed in a military uniform, for leadership. often taking him to meetings with world leaders. his intervention to broker an apparent truce in russia and help putin by hosting wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin suggests his own fate and his family's is more intertwined with russia than ever before. nic robertson, cnn, london. late sunday night, china gave public support to russia's government, and in particular, president vladimir putin. beijing waited a day after the armed insurrection was over. china's foreign ministry posting on its website this. this is russia's internal affair. as russia's friendly neighbor and comprehensive strategic partner of coordination for the new era, china supports russia in maintaining national stability and achieving development and prosperity. meantime, relations between

the u.s. and china took a bit of a hit after beijing issued a diplomatic reprimand of u.s. president joe biden comparing chinese president xi jinping to a dictator at a political fundraiser last week. on sunday, cnn's dana bash spoke to the v8 about the controversy. blinken has recently returned from a trip to beijing. >> it's very clear that when it comes to china, we are going to do and say things that they don't like. they are going to do and say things that we don't like. if you look at what comes out of the chinese foreign ministry every day about the united states, you'd hear plenty of that. but the purpose of the trip at the president's instruction was to try to bring a little bit more stability to the relationship, to demonstrate that we're committed to managing it responsibly, which really is an obligation for us and an expectation that countries around the world have, and to be able to deal very directly with our differences.

there is no secret about the differences. there is no secret about concerns we have about democracy, about human rights, about some of the actions that china is taking around the world. and being able to have better, stronger, sustained lines of communication means we can talk about these differences directly. we can work through them where we can. but at the very least, avoid misunderstandings, avoid miscalculations. that's the fastest way to go from the competition we're in to a conflict we want to avoid. so i think on those terms, the visit was positive. and, again, one of the things i told the chinese is that we're going to continue to do things and to say things that you don't like. just as you're going to do the same, and we'll work through them. >> do you believe that xi jinping is a dictator? >> the president speaks clearly. he speaks candidly. i've worked for him for more than 20 years, and he speaks for all of us. >> when we come back here on cnn, u.s. coast guard contains the highest level of

the discovery of the titan submersible wreckage marked the

conclusion of the search and rescue aspect of this incident. the coast guard has officially convened a marine board of investigation into the loss of the submersible and the five people on board. >> u.s. coast guard has convened its highest investigative body to try to determine the cause of the fatal implosion of the titan submersible. the investigation will also make possible recommendations to pursue civil or criminal sanctions as necessary. the submersible imploded on the way to the "titanic" wreckage. all five people on board were killed. three texas police officers have been charged with murder less than 24 hours after they fatally shot a woman who appeared to be in distress. the officers were also suspended without pay as officials continue to investigation friday's shooting. here is the mayor of san antonio. >> there is multiple investigations under way. i will tell you that the body cam footage was very disturbing. it disturbed the police chief enough that he has already fired those police officers or placed

them on leave. and so, again -- again, off the streets. but with regard to the investigation, i'll tell you that it is very disturbing. murder charges have already been filed. so those police officers, while they still are obviously given due process, they're no long attorney job in terms of patrolling the streets of san antonio. >> and the san antonio police chief says the woman was having a mental health crisis at the time of the shooting. cnn's mike valerio has details, and a warning, his report includes disturbing images. >> we need to start with the victim who is at the center of this case. melissa perez, 46 years old. he is a mother, and she was having a mental health crisis very early on friday morning just after midnight. she was cutting, according to law enforcement authorities, the wires of her apartment's fire alarm system. so firefighters show up at that very early morning hour, and they ask her, hey, what's going

on? what are you doing? cutting the wires to the fire alarm system. and she tells the firefighters she was cutting those wires because she thought that the fbi was listening to her. so it's very apparent that she needed help. officers show up to that scene, though, and they determine among themselves that they need to charge her with criminal mischief, a felony count for cutting those wires. she is scared, though. she goes into her apartment and she grabs a hammer. she moves closer to her apartment window twice. and in both of those instances, officers open fire, two volleys of gunshot that lead to her death. now we're going show you about 20 seconds of the body camera footage. there is an unsettling exchange of words between the victim and an officer, and then those two volleys of gunfire. here it is. >> stop it! stop it! >> you're going get shot. >> excuse me. >> go.

>> watch out, watch out! [ gunshots ] >> hey, hey! [ gunshots ] >> back up, back up! [ gunshots ] >> now a detective investigating this case writes in the affidavit used to charge the three officers with murder, quote, the defendants, meaning the officers were not in clear danger of death or serious bodily injury at the time the defendants used deadly force. the detective guess on to use you're defiant, meaning the defendant does not lead a reasonable officer in the same facts and circumstances at the time would have felt compelled to use deadly force. all three of the officers have their first court appearance in a preliminary hearing that is set for july 25th. mike valerio, cnn, los angeles. the ruling conservative party in greece is celebrating victory in sunday's election and a second four-year term.

with almost all votes counted, the new democracy party fell short of an outright majority with more than 40%. leftists polled just about 17%. the prime minister has led greece out of a severe debt crisis vowed more of the same. >> translator: i now feel a heavier duty to serve the country with all my strength. i never promised miracles, but i assure you i will remain faithful to my national duty with a plan, with dedication, and above all, with hard work. >> they polled worst sunday than they did in the first round last month. still to come on "cnn newsroom," the latest on a diplomatic standoff in australia involving one of a russian diplomats apparently living in a portable building on this land near the parliament house. mecca expecting huge crowds to make the hajj this year, and the heat will be of particular

. in canberra, australia,

russia has just lost its appeal to build a new embassy a stone's throw from parliament house. the government passed legislation to prevent russia from using that land, claiming a potential national security threat. cnn's angus watson joins me from sydney. where do they go from here? does russia have any other recourse now? >> reporter: well, john, the strange conclusion to this story might just have arrived. australian affiliates are reporting that a lone russian diplomat who has squatted on the site of this previouslily proposed new russian embassy in canberra has now left. he was spotted last week after the australian government moved to evict russia from the site. he was spotted coming out of a small cabin on the construction site to smoke cigarettes and pick up takeaway food orders. the government didn't quite know what to do with him because he had diplomatic immunity. so a police car was out front, and in the end, they just waited

him out. he left today after the australian high court threw out russia's application to challenge the australian government on the eviction. now, as you say, the australian government had decided that it was a national security threat to have russia so close to australia's parliament building. russia already has a diplomatic compound and embassy in the australian capital. it wanted a new one. that one was going to be 400 meters away from parliament. australia was worried about the possibility of eavesdropping, of spying taking place at that site and moved quickly to legislate to give it the power to turf russia out. russia responded badly, calling australia russophobic and taking it to the high court. today the high court judge ruled that russia's application was flimsy at best, and they don't have a leg to stand on here, john. >> they really have nowhere else

to go after that ruling. angus live in sydney. sarah ferguson, the duchess of york, has undergone surgery for breast cancer. she's now recovering with family in windsor. a spokesperson says she's receiving the best medical care. her progress is good. security forces are gearing up as the hajj gets under way in saudi arabia, and it could be one for the record books. more than 2 million muslims from around the world are expected to take part this year. but along the crowds, there will also be the heat. temperatures nearing 45 degrees celsius, around 110 fahrenheit. saudi authorities have placed thousands of paramedics on standby. health workers will be available to treat cases of heatstroke, dehydration, and exhaustion. the hajj is one of the five pillars of islam. muslims undertake it at least once in their lifetimes if they have the means. the phoenix mercury announced today that brittney griner will be a starter at next

in the united states and all around the world. thank you for joining us. we begin with the aftermath of russia's short-lived armed rebellion and growing questions about vladimir putin's absolute grip on power. calm appears to return to moscow this monday after a weekend military rebellion by wagner mercenaries marching on the capital. the uprising came to a sudden end saturday with an 11th hour deal brokered by belarus. since then, the head of the wagner group, yevgeny prigozhin, has not been seen nor heard. his news service tells cnn he will answer questions when he has what they say is proper communication. there is much which remains unknown about the insurrection, but one thing is clear. the open rebellion is the most profound crisis vladimir putin has faced during his 23-year-long rule, and the u.s. secretary of state says the turmoil may not be over yet. >> it's too soon to tell exactly where this is going to go, and i suspect that this is a moving picture, and we haven't seen the last act yet. but we can say this. fi a
