united states, and all around the world. you are watching cnn newsroom and i'm rosemary church. just ahead, new video released by russia is raising more questions than it answers, what it purports to show and what we do know following the brief insurrection. we are finally hearing from china on the weekends tumultuous events. go to hong kong for a live report. and, from this twister in the midwest to extreme heat in the south, we are following severe weather across much of the united states. live, from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom, with rosemary church. a short-lived armed rebellion inside russia has led to growing questions about vladimir putin's leadership, and whether his grip on power is weakening. moscow is quiet, now, with the mayor saying all security restrictions have been lifted.
12:02 am
this, after the city was rattled over the weekend, as wagner group of mercenaries marched towards the capital. the uprising came to an abrupt end on saturday after a minsk- brokered a deal. since then, there has been no sign of wagner head yevgeny prigozhin. his age says he will answer questions when he has proper communication. now we are serving seeing video of russian defense chief shoygu. it is not known when his frontline visit took place, and cnn cannot independently verify the location of that video. clare sebastian joins me now from london with the latest. good to see you, claire. as we said, we saw this newly
12:03 am
released video of the russian defense minister. what can you tell us about? >> is pretty amazing. there is no date, as you say, and no exact location. the accounts say he is visiting troops in the zone of the so- called special military operation. it is not particularly common for him to visit the front lines, something that he has been criticized for, so perhaps there is an element here in releasing these images now, of a counterpoint to that criticism, and in fact, a counterpoint to prigozhin himself, known for appearing frugally on the front lines in areas of intense battle, like bakhmut, perhaps trying to appear as in charge, as a strong man, tough guy, like prigozhin himself. in response to events over the weekend but having said that, given that we do not know the date or the location of this, that it will put paid to
12:04 am
speculation about the whereabouts of shoygu given the events over the weekend, but these are the first images, even though we don't know exactly where they are shot but you can see the direction that this took place. >> certainly interesting timing. claire, what more are you learning about the stalled insurrection and what it might mean for vladimir putin's leadership and of course, for the wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin. >> this ramps up the pressure on the war in ukraine for putin. he has to prove that this war he has fought for 16 months and then had to push back a rebellion on russian soil,, that all of that back a rebellion on russian soil,, that all of that was somehow for some higher purpose. i think that is made more difficult, perhaps, by the fact that yevgeny prigozhin, promised inevitable punishment on saturday morning and ended
12:05 am
up without that, it was simply an exile to belarus. we don't know if prigozhin has accepted this exile, the last we heard from him is that he sends his regards, that he will get back in touch with the media once he has better communication. so, a little cryptic, there, but in terms of the wagner group itself, the state duma in russia is said to be working on this. when we saw an interview with a russian newspaper on sunday, the head of the defense committee said we are not planning on dissolving the group, this would be the ultimate gift to nato, since he described wagner as the most combat-ready part of the russian army. even though we do not know its future status it seems this group may live to see another day. >> clare sebastian joining us live from london, many thanks for that report. u.s. secretary of state, antony blinken, says it is too soon to know how the crisis in
12:06 am
russia will unfold. but, he suspects this is not the end of moscow's trouble. here is what he told cnn on sunday. >> 16 months ago, russian forces were on the doorstep of kyiv, in ukraine, thinking that they would take the country in a matter of days and take the country off the map. now, they have to face in insurrection for mercenaries of putin's own making. this raises profound questions which i think will be answered in the days and weeks ahead. >> reporter: blinken went on to say that the events of the past week are the first visible cracks in russia's facade. jeff zeleny has more on how the u.s. is responding to the situation in russia. >> reporter: after spending the weekend talking to western allies, president biden returning to the white house on
12:07 am
a sunday, not taking questions or commenting on the extraordinary turn of events over the weekend, he did speak with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, saying that the u.s. has unwavering support toward ukraine and its people. the president also spending much of his time over the weekend at camp david, talking to western allies from canada, from the uk, from france, from germany, making the case, here, that all countries are really watching and waiting to see the situation unfolding in russia. russian president vladimir putin has rained for 23 years, through four american presidents, but the biden administration, this week, president biden faces a good challenge. they are not trying to be publicly seen to be involved in this in any way at all. they do not want to be blamed or accused of trying to tip the scales, but, there is no doubt, a weaker vladimir putin raises concerns and worries here in the u.s., and indeed, in other western capitals, about the potential danger of that.
12:08 am
president biden not scheduled to speak about this but he will have an event monday morning on the white house. this is certainly a new foreign policy challenge, and certainly a question here on the president's agenda, as he begins a new week. jeff zeleny, cnn, the white house. the russian insurrection has given ukrainians a push to fight back even harder against their russian invaders. on sunday, officials declared it was the first stage in dismantling vladimir putin's regime, saying, quote, the countdown has begun. this comes as ukraine's military claims to be making critical gains around the city of bakhmut. cnn's ben wedeman has more on the frontline battles in ukraine. >> reporter: after the brief but intense drama in russia, it is back to the war in ukraine. while wagner chief yevgeny
12:09 am
prigozhin was on a rampage against his foes 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, chaos in russia would lead to an early end to the 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 stretch of trenches near bakhmut. they said they killed, wounded, or captured,
12:10 am
an entire battalion, but did not 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. >> this just in to cnn, ukraine's air force says it intercepted 13 air targets overnight, that includes two missiles and seven attacked rounds launched from the south. a military spokesperson says ukraine's air defense is also destroyed for unspecified aerial vehicles which came from the north. >> extreme weather was on full display on sunday, just outside of indianapolis. the national weather service says it is almost certainly a tornado. they will make it official after a survey team reports back on monday. here is what it looks like for a fire company responding to reports of a collapsed building
12:11 am
. officials say at least 75 homes have been damaged. and apartment building under construction was also destroyed. there are no reports of serious injuries. in texas, major cities are expected to reach a feels like temperature of 125 degrees fahrenheit. that is, 51 degrees celsius. cnn has details now. >> reporter: roughly a dozen states are already under either heat advisories or excessive heat warnings. in some instances, these will likely last for several days. that is because, for some of these areas, they don't even see a temperature peak until tuesday and wednesday of the upcoming week. take, for example, houston going from 101 for the high on monday up to 103 by wednesday. dallas going from one or two on monday to 107 by the time we get to the middle portion of the upcoming week. for many of these areas, even though they peak, they do not
12:12 am
drop back down by the end of the week. in austin, the average high this time of year is 94. we are going to spend every single one of the next seven days with high temperatures getting into the triple digits. and, we are looking at over 35 cities, breaking record temperatures at some point this week between monday and friday. some of those communities, possibly even seeing two or three days in a row of record- breaking temperatures. it is not just the temperature we are concerned about but also when you factor in that humidity it will be the feels like temperature and in some of these areas you're talking extremely high numbers. corpus christi getting it feels like temperature all the way up to 110 on tuesday. dallas looking at it feels like temperature on tuesday of up to 114 degrees. really, the only areas that are likely not going to see much in this heat, especially in the eastern half of the country is places like the midwest, northeast and mid-atlantic. the reason for that is because you have these showers and thunderstorms moving into the area. because, also, the potential for severe storms. washington,
12:13 am
d.c. stretching down to atlanta. the main threat there will be damaging wind, and the potential for large hail as well. still to come on cnn newsroom, beijing is emphasizing its closeness with russia and vladimir putin, days after facing one of the most intense challenges to his leadership in decades. we will tell you what they are saying next and we will also bring you the latest in a diplomat at standoff between russia and australia. it involves one russian diplomat apparently living in this a portable building near australia's parliament house.

except the hours that you're sleeping. so why do we leave so much untapped potential on the table? this is a next level bed, for a next level you. my circadian rhythm is kicking your circadian rhythms butt! it's not a competition. i know, but i'm still winning! so, it is a competition. the queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is now only $899. plus, 48-month financing on all smart beds. shop now only at sleep number welcome back, everyone, top story this hour, the deal brokerage to end the insurrection led by wagner head yevgeny prigozhin. what little we know about this, is leading to a lot of questions among them, why is prigozhin being allowed to seek a safe haven in belarus.
12:18 am
what we know, belarusian president lukashenko is to credit with the deal. president lukashenko and prigozhin have known each other for 20 years. but, you can also call it a matter of returning a favor. president putin stood by his ally following street protest during his re-election in 2020. critics say the election was rigged. the opposition leader has been living in exile since then. and she treated this. now that the weakness of putin's band has been exposed it is time for the world to react. his puppet, lukashenko, tried
12:19 am
to turn belarus into a criminal haven with nuclear weapons. i call on european leaders to act decisively in support of democratic belarus. for more, we are joined now by a belarusian opposition politician and the chief adviser to alina. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> first, what do you make of this deal made by president lukashenko to stop yevgeny prigozhin's armed rebellion by offering him this safe haven in belarus. >> i think lukashenko played the role of mediator, but it was putin's idea to offer prigozhin sanctuary in belarus but he did not want to speak directly which is why he asked lukashenko. and for prigozhin, he can save face. perhaps he realized he does not
12:20 am
have the forces to take moscow and this was a temporary pause in this revolution but i don't think prigozhin will stop on that, i think that he will continue challenging putin, it will continue very soon. >> worth pointing out that no one seems to know where yevgeny prigozhin is right now, or even vladimir putin for that matter. what do you think will likely happen to prigozhin? can he survive this? >> putin will never forgive prigozhin. he will be chasing him and punishing him. of course, if it entails prigozhin right now, everyone will know that this is the putin story. people in russian will not accept this because prigozhin is very popular in russia. for now, if prigozhin goes to belarus, it will take some time, it will move the clock, and then, we will see what to
12:21 am
do with prigozhin next. the problem is that we don't know what to do with prigozhin in belarus, because 9 million people are becoming hostages of this russian internal conflict and i think that lukashenko understands what to do with prigozhin. >> you and your opposition party has called on the united states and other western nations, to act. what do you want them to do? >> reporter: belarus is overlooked in this crisis and now it is becoming very important. if changes in russia happen, changes in belarus will be a large hit to putin and a boon for ukraine's victory. this is why we are calling on the west. this strategy must include, russian troops must leave, dismantling of lukashenko's
12:22 am
regime, free and fair election, and protection of belarusian and and independence. for sanctions, through the support for democratic forces, but, as belarusians, we need right now the world to change the status quo. >> to tell damage to, do you think, is the leadership of vladimir putin. do you think this is the beginning of the end for russia's president, as a result of this insurrection, challenging him? >> i think this is the end of the big tyranny. the end of putin's era. everyone in russia has been showed that putin is not almighty. he is a fragile and vulnerable. this started the processes inside of the elites. after prigozhin, there will be many other challengers. it is also good for belarus. the belarusian military saw that putin, in the critical moment, will not defend them. there will be a window of opportunity for belarusians to
12:23 am
act and we should not miss this moment. >> what are people in belarus saying that they will do if they spot prigozhin? >> i think people will hate prigozhin. people do not want prigozhin in belarus. bogosian is a war criminal. he does not see belarus or ukraine as independent countries, he does not see belarus as an independent nation. i don't think that belarusians will accept him. they are a peaceful nation, they want peace and negotiations and trade and economic prosperity. so, i don't think it will be comfortable for him and i don't think he will stay for a long time in belarus. i hope so, and we should do everything to get through to him us soonest possible. >> belarusian opposition politician, thank you for
12:24 am
joining us. after a weekend of turmoil, russia is at shoring up support from one of its closest allies. russian deputy foreign minister met with his chinese counterpart on a trip to beijing on sunday. russian officials say the political upheaval after yevgeny prigozhin's upheaval with china, reinforcing the need to strengthen unity and prosperity. anna joins us more from hong kong with this. what else are you learning about the support that china is offering russia in the wake of this armed rebellion? >> reporter: rosemarie, 24 hours after that abrupt end, to the insurrection threatening vladimir putin's power, its greatest ally, china, broke silence issuing support for the kremlin. after closely watching the greatest challenge over the
12:25 am
weekend, they issued a strong statement online, late sunday evening, local time. let me read it to you. it said, this is russia's internal affair. as russia's partner in coordinating for the new era, china supports russia in maintaining national stability and achieving development and prosperity. as you say, it follows an unexpected visit by russia's deputy foreign minister to beijing, who met with china's prime minister among other officials yesterday. the two exchanged views on sino russian relations and international regional issues. the photo you are looking at, show them walking side-by-side. russia claims this was a part of scheduled consultations, interestingly, however, the china leadership did not
12:26 am
announce a meeting before hand. >> china may be publicly showing solidarity, but privately, are there concerns, here? >> absolutely. we know that xi jinping and vladimir putin have developed a very close personal rapport in recent years, over the shared ambition to challenge the u.s. global order. last year the two leaders declared a friendship with no limits shortly before russia launched war on ukraine. china has refused to condemn the invasion and has provided much-needed economic and the medic support for russia and also has portrayed itself at times as a peace broker between russia and ukraine. rosemarie, there are analysts who believe that china is closely monitoring the fallout of this aborted mutiny, political scientists from the australian national university said the wagner insurrection
12:27 am
contradict the narrative of putin as a strong leader who enjoys full support of his people and is here for the long haul as china's global partner of choice. if putin's rule is unstable, supporting him is bad business. now, on china's twitter-like platform, the insurrection was a top trending topic over the weekend. >> appreciate your reporting. russia has just lost its appeal to build a new embassy in australia's capital, not far from the country's parliament building. the russian diplomat who had been squatting on the disputed embassy site in canberra can be seen here, leaving come in this video. angus watson joins me now, live, from sydney. angus, what is the back story to this, and is this the end of the matter? >> reporter: rosemarie, russia
12:28 am
has wanted his diplomatic campus a stones throw from australia's parliament since 2008 but that is when they signed the lease. they promised to have construction finished in under two years, but here we are in 2020, -- 2023 and it is still a construction site. the government wanted to move it along over the past couple of years, but now it was very worried about the national security applications of having a russian diplomatic campus so close to australian lawmakers as they do their work. the australian government was worried about the possibility of eavesdropping going on. so, and moved on the 15th of june to have russia expelled. it passed new legislation at that parliament house, to be able to move russia on. russia responded badly, they called australia phobic, and took the case to the high
12:29 am
court. since the 15th of june, it appears one staff member, there, at the russian embassy has squatted on the site, on this construction site. he has been seen leaving a small building on the site to smoke cigarettes and pick up take away food orders and it was only today, that he left after that high court challenge that russia brought was waived away by the judge, who said that russia really did not have a leg to stand on in challenging australia's constitution. prime minister anthony albanese said that russia has a poor record at the moment of standing up for the law. that is the opposite of what he says australia does. so, this bizarre saga really underscores the damaged relationship between australia and russia, much like the relation between russia and western countries following the invasion of ukraine. we had today, australia pledging more support for ukraine, more training for ukrainian troops, more
12:30 am
ammunition for soldiers and more on the personnel vehicles to be sent from australia to ukraine, to join that war effort. prime minister anthony albanese will be going to lithuania for the nato summit next month in which more support is set to be pledged. >> angus watson, with that remarkable story, many thanks, appreciate it. still to come, a whirlwind chain of events rattles moscow and president vladimir putin. a look inside the armed rebellion inside russia, that is next. r neutrogena® retinol? that's whenever you want it to be. it has derm-proven retinol that targets vital cell turnover, evens skin tone, and smooths finene lines. with visiblele results in just one week. neutrogena® retinol.

back to our top story this hour. the mayor of moscow announced on monday that all security restrictions in the russian capital have been lifted. this comes after an insurrection, presenting the biggest challenge to russian president vladimir putin's grip on the country. meanwhile, the whereabouts of wagner chief yevgeny prigozhin, who led that revolt is unknown at this hour, but he expects to go to olivers under the terms of a deal that ended the insurrection. the military revolt lasted less than 24 hours, but long enough to bring into question vladimir putin's aura of invincibility, and stability. cnn's senior national correspondent ivan watts reports on how these events played out from beginning to end. >> reporter: a weekend of chaos and drama in russia. mercenaries declared a mutiny
12:35 am
and then called it off in under 24 hours. yevgeny prigozhin issued a call for rebellion from the head of the wagner mercenary group, accusing top russian military commanders of gross mismanagement of the war in ukraine. then, prigozhin released a video of an elected russian airstrike on the 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., bogosian
12:36 am
was shown dressing down senior resting rushing military leaders, and listing demands. >> we came here, we want to receive the chief of general staff and shoygu. until they show up, we are located here, blockading the city of rostov , and we will 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 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. >> translator: all those who deliberately chose the path of treachery, and armed mutiny,
12:37 am
who chose the path of blackmail and terrorist methods will face punishment and will answer both to the law and to our people. >> reporter: the president announced counterterrorism measures, tightening security in moscow. by saturday night, suddenly, a kremlin reversal. prigozhin released an audio message, saying his troops would turn around and go back to field camps to avoid shedding russian blood. supporters chanted wagner, as his fighters drove out of rostov, giving prigozhin handshakes as he left in this suv. the kremlin says it has dropped charges, and prigozhin will go to belarus, while promising his fighters contract with the russian military. for now, a crisis averted, but this public portrayal and the mercenaries a short but unimpeded march on moscow
12:38 am
reveals deep weakness at the heart of the putin regime. ivan watson, cnn. >> sam greene joins me now, for more on our developing story out of russia. he is a professor of russian politics at king's college in london. appreciate you being with us. >> thank you. vladimir putin and yevgeny prigozhin have not been seen or heard from since the armed rebellion was abruptly ended, and the wagner leader offered a safe haven in belarus. what does this ultimately mean for president putin, given his leadership has been severely damaged by this challenge to his authority. can he survive this? >> in the short term i think he has reason to be happy that he dodged a couple bullets, so to speak. he was obviously facing an uncertain future as wagner approached moscow.
12:39 am
it was unclear exactly how close they were going to be able to get and what they were going to be able to achieve. he did not want to have to engage in a shooting war on his own territory, with people who had until recently been fighting shoulder to shoulder with regular russian troops on the front lines in ukraine. and so, i think that he will be reasonably pleased that he found a way to see off this challenge without bloodshed, and without more clearly demonstrating just how brittle his hold on power may actually be. at the same time, the fact that he could not simply stand up and say, this is a rule of law issue and you cannot challenge the presidency and the military this way, the fact that his power as president relied on an intermediary coming in from outside, the belarusian president, alexandra lukashenko coming in to solve the issue
12:40 am
for him, i think does raise some serious questions among those who rely on russia, on putin to solve problems for them, about whether or not putin will be able to continue to effectively play that role. >> and, what about prigozhin? he has been offered this safe haven in belarus by president lukashenko. but, how safe will he really be , given that he was ready to march on moscow in an armed rebellion, and he questioned putin's war in ukraine. should he be watching his back? >> he will probably not feel entirely secure. one of the advantages for putin, of putting prigozhin in belarus, is that there is a high degree of political and security integration between the russian and belarusian states, it is easily accessible to the military and russian
12:41 am
special services. i think they will feel every incentive to be rather careful. as we have seen in recent days, he may not be intrinsically inclined to be all that careful. and so, we will have to see. he has a lot of things at stake, though. he has made himself and a lot of people around him quite wealthy and powerful because of the services they have provided to russia, not just on the front lines in ukraine, but conflicts from syria to the central african republic, to mozambique, providing services in the disinformation realm, online bot networks and that sort of thing. and i think that he will have a lot of questions, as well, frankly, the rest of us about what will happen to the integrity of that empire that prigozhin has built up over the years. >> what do you think will happen? it is extensive, isn't it? of course, he will be in belarus
12:42 am
. >> i think that is an open question. and, again, another challenge that the russian government and putin himself is going to have to resolve. wagner, and the whole sort of ecosystem around prigozhin has been incredibly useful to putin, personally, and to the russian state are generally. it allows them to do things that they don't want to do with their own hands, it gives them a degree of plausible deniability and in some ways, wagner is really quite effective in the roles that it has played. so, putin may be loath to lose that instrument but it is not like an oil company or a bank where you can simply pull out one ceo and put in another. it may not be that simple, to hand over this arsenal, essentially, to another group of leaders. and so, i think putin will be reasonably happy that he found a relatively quick solution to the immediate problem, but it
12:43 am
does create a number of thorny issues that will probably bother him four months to come. >> we can certainly see what the kremlin has to say in the coming hours. sam greene, thank you for joining us and sharing your analysis. >> thank you. still to come, the u.s. coast guard convenes its highest level of investigation into the implosion of the titan submersible. but, what will the investigators be looking for? details, just ahead. good t thing there's resolve. love the love. resolve the mess. meet the portable blblender we can barely keep in stock. blendjet 2 gives you ice-crushing, big blender power on-the-go. you can blend up a mouthwaterg smoothie, protein shake, or latte wherever you are! recharge quickly with any usb port. best of all, it even cleans itself! just blend water with a drop of soap.

12:46 am
the u.s. coast guard says it has convened a marine board of investigation, its highest investigative body, to look into the fatal implosion of the titan submersible. officials say their priority is to recover items from the seafloor and determine the cause of the disaster, which killed all five people on board. glory up has me know has more.
12:47 am
>> reporter: the marine board of investigation is the highest level of investigation that the u.s. coast guard can conduct regarding any kind of maritime incident. and, what it will allow is for the coast guard to leverage all of its resources, including working with international partners. now, this is a multi step process and right now, they are in the first phase, which is to gather evidence. have had the odysseus 6000 out at the bottom of the ocean looking for pieces of the vessel, looking to recover more pieces of evidence. once that is completed, they will hold a public hearing, collect more testimony, and more evidence, and then, they will continue this investigation. i want you to listen to public officials talking about what is next in the process. >> during the course of the investigation, the board will work to determine the cause of his marine casualty in the five
12:48 am
associated deaths. the mbi is also responsible for accountability aspect of the incident and it can make recommendations to the proper authorities to pursue civil or criminal sanctions as necessary. >> reporter: any kind of subsequent enforcement will have to be done after a separate investigation, and just another important note here is that the marine board of investigation is working with the u.s., the uk, and france. that, of course, reflects the nationalities of the five people on board the vessel. you can see this multinational effort to try to bring some closure to these families. in fact, the rear admiral of the coast guard mentioned that he had visited st. john's, where we are right now, to meet with family members who arrived back to port, yesterday. now, after this investigation is concluded, they will submit a report, and the idea here is to understand what happened,
12:49 am
but also to make sure that safety protocols for deep-sea submersible exhibitions are improved so that nothing like this ever happens again. reporting in newfoundland, glory up has me know, cnn. the u.s. national transportation safety board is investigating the death of an airport worker who was sucked into the engine of a delta jet in san antonio, friday night. delta released a statement, saying it is heartbroken, and grieving the loss of an aviation colleague, adding that their hearts and support are with their family and friends. as for the airport, officials said how saddened they are by what happened and they will be sharing more as the investigation moves forward. the flight had just arrived from l.a. when the accident returned. greases prime minister wins a strong second turn in recent

12:55 am
