our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world, i'm max foster in london, bianca is off this week, but just ahead on "cnn newsroom" -- >> there are growing questions about vladimir putin's leadership going forward and whether his iron whip on russia is weakening. >> it's too soon to tell exactly where this is going to go. i suspect this is a moving picture. >> it was a deal or somehow behind the scenes putin exerted some form of leverage over prigozhin. >> i think that called that putin is going to be out there is really gone now because there's no other insurrection coming anytime soon. ♪ >> announcer: live from london this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. it is monday, june the 26en. 9:00 a.m. here in london, and

11:00 a.m. in moscow, a mercenary grew exposing what some are calling cracks in the vladimir putin role. we haven't heard about this for some time and we haven't heard from the russian leader since he spoke out against those he said were on a bath of treason. and the whereabouts of the wagner head yevgeny prigozhin, after he agrees to end the mutiny and leave russia for belarus but we're now seeing video of serge shoigu. moscow is quiet with the mayor saying all security restrictions have been lifted but experts are warning the rare uprising by

wagner group mercenaries could have consequences down the line with so much uncertain. cnn's matthew chance reports now from moscow. >> wagner! >> reporter: for the kremlin, these are some of the most disturbing scene from a weekend of shocking images. on the streets of a major russian city, rostov-on-don in the south, residents cheered fighters as they withdrew. many russians see them as heroes not as the traitors the kremlin paints them. and wagner's leader yevgeny prigozhin has become a celebrity, too, watching his supporters hail bang his car just to shake hands. the kremlin says he's now moving to belarus next door, but it's unclear that this is the last you'll see of him. what is definite, though, is a sense of relief, at least here

in the russian capital. it's calm now, but in the mayhem of the weekend, moscow was on high alert. military checkpoints on the outskirts of the city. residents racing for wagner fighters to enter after a confrontation that never came. it was really uneasy yesterday, says andre, but look now, people are walking in the streets. and it's all good. let's hope it will stay peaceful, he adds. but even here, this sympathy for prigozhin's unprecedented challenge, his tirades against the conduct of the war in ukraine appears to have struck a popular chord. i think it was an expression of an opinion says oleg, another resident of moscow. an opinion of a path for a person who wants some justice and clarity. the belief that prigozhin should be listened to is widely shared here. but that's not what the kremlin

wants to hear. vladimir putin hasn't appeared in public since making his angry pledge on saturday. filmed behind the scenes by state television to punish those responsible for what he called an armed mutiny. the biggest challenge to his authority in 23 years of power. but now that challenge has been made, there are growing concerns about what a defensive president putin stunned by the events of this eastbound will do next to stay in power. well, another question tonight is where is russian leader yevgeny prigozhin, as we know, the kremlin says he's agreed to move to belarus. but officials there say there are no details on what he will arrive or what his statements will be. prigozhin's office isn't saying much either, telling cnn that he's currently out of contact and will respond to questions

only later. >> with comments on the development, the latest we're getting is the defense minister visiting troops. we don't know when this was filmed. but the important thing is that the kremlin is putting these pictures out, effectively putting their support behind shoigu, which is prigozhin to get rid of it. >> i think it's to restore calm, to show him out there visiting the front lines. apparently we haven't been able to locate this video or as you say to verify when it was shot. but it's to show he's in control, he's visiting western troops in this video. counterprogramming, i think, partly to the criticism that has been leveled against him for being out of touch with troops in belarus. coming from yevgeny prigozhin. i think it's interesting given that he's done this, that we've seen prigozhin himself sort of on the front lines, a tough guy demeanor and now shoigu. he hasn't done this very often,

where we've actually seen him visit the zone. it's significant now while we've seen the ukrainian counter progress, this may be an effort to restore some morale to russian troops after the weekend which may have shaken it, max. >> the assumption for many was shoigu would go as part of this deal for prigozhin to pull back and go back tobelarus. we haven't heard anything from him, have we? >> yeah, nothing from prigozhin yet. what will we heard he sends his regards. and we don't know whether he's actually accepted that exile in bella belarus. no one has disavowed that, both putin and shoigu in belarus, what will they did on sunday, they said why would we disband

wagner, they're the most combat-ready group of the russians. this would be the ultimate gift to the ukrainians if we did that. but with a statement for wagner at the moment it doesn't seem at the moment it's there to support it. >> but wagner operates outside the law, will they sign up for the russian military or stay loyal to prigozhin? >> that's the question because the language of sort of the signing of contracts with the m.o.d., saying it was voluntary, saying those who wanted to could do it. those who weren't part of the march, but it's a little unclear, it doesn't seem like they're going to be forced. and meanwhile, prigozhin in belarus which is the place, of course, where they launched part of the initial invasion, it doesn't seem like that is sort of a distant exile from the so-called special military operation. >> just a word on navalny, the opposition leader, he's got

another hearing today? >> yeah, navalny already serving 11 1/2 years for various crimes, including contempt of court. and extremism charges from 2021. he's set to appear in another hearing but this is closed press, not being allowed in. the initial hearing on the case, the feed was suddenly interrupted, the court said because of fears of provocation, we don't know what that relates to. so we're waiting for more news what is in the hearing. it was set to take place in the last hour but again because it's closed press we don't know exactly. >> clare, thank you. officials are still amazed the conflict in russia ended so quickly as they expected more violence. even though, secretary of state antony blinken said the unrest revealed the first visible cracks in russia's facade. here's what he told cnn on sunday. >> it's too soon to tell exactly where this is going to go. i suspect 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. i think you're seeing cracks emerge that weren't there before. this is just an added chapter to a very, very bad book that putin has written for russia. but what's so striking about it is it's internal. the fact that you have from within, someone directly questioning putin's authority. directly questioning the premise upon which will he launched this aggression against ukraine, that in and of itself is something very powerful. it adds cracks. where those go, when they get there, too soon to say. but it clearly raises new questions that putin has to deal with. >> the u.s. president has spoken privately with ukrainian leader volodymyr zelenskyy about the developments in russia. but so far, joe biden hasn't made public comments about the situation. cnn's jeff zeleny has more on the u.s. president's response. >> reporter: after spending the weekend talking to western ally, president biden returning to the white house on sunday, not

taking questions or commenting on the extraordinary turn of events in russia over the weekend. he did speak with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy saying that the u.s. has unwavering support towards ukraine and its people. the president also spending much of the 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 really are watching and waiting to see the situation unfold in russia. now, there is no doubt that russian president vladimir putin has had a reign for 24 years, through four american administrations. but the biden administration this week, president biden faces a new challenge for president biden, they're not trying to be publicly seen being involved in this in any way at all. do not want to be blamed or accused of trying to tip the scales. but there stho doubt a weak vladimir putin that raises

concerns here in the u.s. and indeed other western capitals for the potential danger for that. so president biden not scheduled to speak about this as the week begins, but he will have an event on monday morning here at the white house. this is certainly now 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. >> joining me now, edward lucas, a senior adviser with the european policy analysis. thank you for joining us. we will get more response, won't we, from western leaders, indeed leaders from around the world now that they've had a chance to absorb what happened over the weekend. how do you think the narrative will develop in the west over this one? >> i think everyone is still grappling to find answers to the many questions that remain open on this. what really happened what did prigozhin actually think he would do when he got to moscow.

why did the russian security services, the successes to the kgb fail to spot this? what will happen to prigozhin now, where he? what on earth was president alexander lukashenko of belarus which is supposed to be a russian puppet state doing in advance of this. most of all, how badly weakened putin, this is a huge dent in his already tactic reputation for effectiveness. i doubt anyone can say he played this well. so what happens to him now. >> so president putin is weakened, right, because he faced a challenge, and he settled it without, you know -- you know, lifted all -- you know, all of the charges that could have been faced for prigozhin and his fighters as well. so, he's weakened. but how does he then deal with that? how does he get that strongman

status back? >> well, he can't unsay what he said, from six hours into this potential coup or uprising or mutiny, or whatever you call it. he's denouncing these people as traitors and saying they're an existential threat to the russian state. and a few hours later, the guy's being pardoned and his supporters, they're not going to be prosecuted. he's off to making a new life in another country. that shows that when putin's called it, he doesn't fight like a rat which is one of his big thing, he saw a rat in st. petersburg, in a desperate situation, he just bit and fought his way out that was his thing, don't put kme in the corner because i'll fight really hard. it actually shows he negotiates. and that's not great for a

str strongman. i think a lot of the people believe the boss isn't going to be around forever, based on what's happened. what do i do to get in store for other people. what you see is an episode of "sopranos" or some other mafia movie or analysis that we might usually deploy in this case. >> people say it could be the end to putin? it's far to early to say that now, don't you think? >> no, in january, saying that the russian war has already started, all of these things have messy starts, messy ends. i think putin, we're in the final act of putin. it may be days, weeks or months. i don't think it's going to be longer than that. i'd be very surprised if he runs again and gets another full-term as president because his authority rests on the perfection of effectiveness and competenceness. that's been trashed with the war

in ukraine and surrounding that and handling of the crisis. so i think this balloon has been punctured and it's looking increasingly crumbled and people are making their plans according. >> i appreciate your perspective today, thank you. 100 million people on the east coast are under threat of severe storms this week. one of those threats appears to be a storm in indiana. look at that. officials say 3500 homes have been damaged and an apartment building under construction was destroyed as well. there are, however, no reports of serious injuries, incredibly. still ahead, texas is coverage under a record-breaking heat dome with no end in sight. we'll have details on that. plus, a week after the "titan" investigation. investigators continue to search for answers. we'll have details on a high inquiry by the coast guard. plus, a neonazi state in the

after a weekend of turmoil, russia is shoring up support from one of its close etf ally russian deputy foreign minister met with his chinese counterpart on a trip to beijing on sunday. russian officials say the two spoke about the upheaval after yevgeny prigozhin's insurrection, with china, affirming the need to strengthen russia's unity and prosperity. anna coren joins me now from hong kong. and that sounds like a big show of support from china for russia. >> yeah, for sure, max. publicly, solidarity, privately, i'm sure there's a great deal of concern. but a day after that abrupt end to the insurrection threatening vladimir putin's grip on power, russia's greatest ally china broke its silence issuing support for the kremlin. it's closely watched this, you know, gravest challenge to putin's rule in 23 years unfold. the chinese foreign ministry then issued a strong statement late last night which read this

is russia's internal affair. as russia's friendly neighbor and comprehensive strategic partner coordination for the new era, china supports russia in maintaining national stability and achieving development and prosperity. we just heard from mofa in china reiterating that exact same statement. it follows that you unexpected visit from the foreign minister to beijing who met with the chinese prime minister yesterday. where they exchanged views on sino. >> reporter: l/russian relation and we saw the photo of the pair smiling walking side by side. russia claims, max, this was part of a scheduled consultation. the chinese, however did not announce the meeting beforehand. now xi jinping and vladimir putin have developed a very

close personal rapport in recent years over their shared ambition to challenge the u.s.-led global order. over the last year, the two have declared a friendship with no limits since vladimir putin launched his war on ukraine. china has refused, as you know, to condemn the invasion of ukraine. and it's providing much needed diplomatic and economic support for russia who has portrayed itself at times as a peace broker. but some analysts believe that china is closely monitoring the fallout of this purported mutiny. a scientist at the national university said the wagner insurrection contradicts the narrative of putin as a strong leader who enjoys full support for his people and is here for the long haul as china's partner of choice. in putin's rule is supporting him is bad business, max. >> thank you. a diplomatic standoff in

australia has ended. for now at least, russia has just lost its appeal to build a new embassy in australia's capital. the russian diplomat who had been squatting on the embassy sight in canberra was seen leaving here in this video. and joining me now from sydney. it's a long history of this, it's extraordinary seeing that squatter, that's what he was, leaving the building? >> reporter: absolutely, max, it does go back to 2008 when russia took the lease on that site. but now with the current relationship as is between australia and russia, the government here very concerned about what it would mean to have a russian diplomatic compound just a stone's throw away from australia's parliament house. the australian government concerned russia may use that, should it have been built, to eavesdrop on australian lawmakers as they go about their

work. so on the 15th of june, the australian government rushed through legislation to give it the power to evict russia from the site. russia reacted badly. they labeled it russiaphobic. they took this to the high court and they called the australian ambassador to explain himself. but most bizarrely one diplomatic staff member seemed to refuse to leave. he holed himself up at this construction site in canberra, in the winter cold for days, waiting out to see what the high court resolution would be on monday. he was seen appearing from a small building on the site to smoke cigarettes and pick up take-away food orders. so he left, max, as you say monday bringing the bizarre saga to the end. it does to underscore the relationship between russia and australia as it stands, the relationship between russia and many western countries, fearless

about the russian invasion of ukraine. australia is one of ukraine's top supporters outside of nato. today, australia just announced new support for ukraine. new training for ukrainian troops, more ammunition, more armored vehicles to be sent to ukraine to help the war effort. the prime minister will be traveling to lithuania where he expects to announce more 40 for ukraine. max. >> thank you. in greece, kyriakos mitsotakis has received a second term defeating his rival in a huge margin. celebrations erupted as the results were announced with almost all of the votes counted, his ruling of the democracy party with more than 40% of the vote. and with the poll about 17%, he

threats in the east coast. the storm has caused power outages. and moscow's mayor said all insecurity has been lifted after the invasion by yevgeny prigozhin revealed cracks in vladimir putin's leadership. president zelenskyy has discussed russia's internal conflict with other world leaders including u.s. president joe biden, canadian prime minister justin trudeau and the polish president andres duda. mr. zelenskyy said they all view it the same way and haven't agreed how to respond. the military claims to have gained ground around bakhmut over the weekend with heavy shelling in the kherson region. ukraine's air force shot down 13 air targets overnight including air missiles and drones.

cnn's ben wedeman has more on the battles in ukraine. >> 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 his foes in moscow, officials in kyiv will largely silent, following napoleon's advice never to interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake. briefly, many ukrainians entertained the hope that civil war or chaos in russia would lead to an early end to the war. but prigozhin's sudden about-face dashed those hopes. sunday, ukrainian presidential ad 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'd killed, wounded or captured an entire battalion, but 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. let's talk more now about the crisis within russia. we are joined by the prime minister of latvia joins me now. thank you so much for joining me today. was -- you know w the developments on saturday in russia as much a surprise to you as everyone else? >> yes, it certainly seems that they were, it's very difficult to predict what happens within russia. i think it's rather a volatile

situation. but what they're doing in latvia, and actually all of us in nato, is controlling the variables that we can. so, first, focusing on continuing to support ukraine, and we're seeing no indication that the battle is changing on the front lines. that events in russia don't seem to have any noticeable effect on the battle in ukraine. it's not making it any easier for the ukrainians. so, we need to focus on that. and second, of course, on our own security, i've spoken with a lost of colleagues over the weekend. and we're all doing the same thing. we are raising, how shall we say, border awareness. those of us boarding russia. we have had a heightened border of control for over two years now with belarus, because of attempts to actually force the country nationals illegally across the eu of the border. so, we have, unfortunately -- or fortunately, i don't know, lots

of experience on that. so, we're controlling the variables that we can control. our own security, we're beefing up our own military. we're reintroducing the draft expanding just next week in july. good news, we don't have to call anyone up. it's fully volunteer right now which is good news. we're buying a number of new weapons systems. so, we're doing what we can, always being prepared. >> what are the uprising or at least the deal that followed the uprising that might affect the war in ukraine is the role of wagner in the future. we don't know whether or not they'll sign up to the russian military and stay on the front lines. even the russians are saying they are their most effective fighters. if they're withdrawn from the front lines and they refuse to take part in the russian military operation it would affect russia's effectiveness in the war, wouldn't it? >> well, we have to remember, russia relies on mercenary

forces. it's not only wagner. that's the biggest force, but there are a myriad of smaller forces all over there. as i have to say, it's a little mystery exactly how it's working 0 than s on that side of the border. on this side, we're a democracy, we have clear where the power is handed from one election to the next and we care about the citizens. in the east, and autocratic system it's a different world. it's a world of wars. and there's all kind of -- if anything would be easier, that's speculation, but in speaking with our ukrainian colleagues, unfortunately, we can say that we see currently no indications of a lessening of the pressure on ukraine within ukraine. >> has president putin been weakened? and how does that affect international diplomacy? >> well, it certainly seemed

that there must be some element of weakening. how that will affect anything is completely up in the air. again, within an autocratic system because autocrats don't have rules of succession. it seems that this is what often happens maybe through various power plays. and i think we're not seeing most of what -- shall we say, we see the tip of the iceberg, but i think there's a lot below the surface we don't see because there are all kinds of interrelations among various groupings that are not so obvious to those of us on the outside. so, we keep a weathered on that is going on but we focus on we can control our own security in latvia and nato as a whole. and of course, keeping our focus of getting the ukrainians not to debt distracted by events in russia which are russia's

internal events there. >> i spoke to a leading expert earlier in the hour, he suggested that putin only has a few months in office. this is not only the beginning of the end but beginning started some sometime agatha would have repercussions for you, wouldn't it, and there would be huge political consequences in russia and you don't know who is going to replace him? >> again, this is speculation, as a prime minister, i have to be a little worried because it's a slippery slope. i'm controlling what i can. and regarding what happens in the east, look, from our point of view, pretty much we're all very similar. these are war criminals of various degrees. they must and they will face justice eventually. to say that there's order or chaos right now, you know, it's sort of besides the point. you have the russian army and

mercenaries brutally attacking ukraine for well over a year. the committee human rights violations on a daily basis, they're committing atrocities that we're almost becoming immune to. but we may not and we cannot become immune to them. and to say something will be better or worse, that's pure speculation. we have to make sure ukraine wins the war and gets the russian units, whether they're regular units or mercenary units out of ukraine. and then we can look towards a situation of peace. and then what to do after that peace. and there, i'm convinced ukraine must eventually become part of nato, because this part of the world to actually have peace. and what happens in russia, i guess those are russia's affairs, and they'll have to sort them out without our aid. >> i'm going to ask you a difficult question but it is something that people are talking about, there is this concern that, you know, president putin, being seen as

weak, doesn't fit his, you know, his brand, as it were. he's going to want to the reassert himself, might do something particularly aggressive to reassert his strongman status. and there is concerns about the tactical weapons ones that got to belarus, or countries like yours. how concerned will you be about tactical weapons being used as a way of solidifying president putin's status? >> i don't think that will change his status in any way. remember, a tactical nuclear weapon has its effects on those troops and the areas nearby. sand all of this is happening on russia's own door step. so, i think that threat is no greater or no less than it has been the entire course of the war so far. it's very difficult to predict what could happen in the future. and therefore, again, i'm stressing, you know, i'm not

trying to to be difficult, but what we have to do in the west, what i'm doing in my country, is focusing on those variables that i can control. so, we're beefing up our armed forces. we're increasing spending. we're getting new weapons systems. we're continuing to send arms money, aid to ukraine. and we have to keep focused on our commission which is to stay united, stay very strong. observe and we're all beefing up our border patrols, no question about that. but control that which we can. and be prepared for any change of events. >> okay. well, i really appreciate you joining us today. thank you very much latvian prime minister karins thank you for joining us from riga. ahead, a hate dome is bearing down on dozens of u.s. states. the high temperatures may have claimed the lives of two hikers in texas. the latest just ahead. plus, officials in san antonio bring murder charges

evidence. they've had the "odyssey 6000" out to recover more pieces of evidence. once that is completed they'll 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's next in the process. >> during the course of the mbi, the board will first and primarily work to determine the cause of this marine casualty and the five associated deaths. the mbi, however, is also responsible for accountability aspects of the incident. and it can make recommendations to the proper authorities to pursue civil or criminal sanctions as necessary. >> reporter: now, 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,

and that, of course, reflects the nationalities of the five people who were on board of the vessel. so, you can see this sort of multinational effort to try and bring some closure to these families. in fact, the rear admiral of the coast guard mentioned he had visits st. john's where we are right now, to meet with some of the family members that arrived back to the port yesterday. now, after this investigation is concluded. they will submit a report. and the idea here is to understand what happened, but also to make sure that safety protocols for deep sea submersible expeditions are improved so that nothing like this happens again. reporting in newfoundland, gloria pazmino, cnn. 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 suspended

days. that's because for some of these areas they don't even peak temperaturewise tuesday or wednesday of the upcoming week. take, for example, houston going from 101 for the high monday, 103 on wednesday. dallas going 102 on monday to 10, by the time we get to the middle portion of the upcoming week. for many of the areas even though they peak, they really don't drop down by the end of the week. take austin, for example, the average high this time of year is 94. we're going to spend every single one of the next seven days with high temperatures getting into the triple digits. we're looking at 35 cities breaking record temperatures at some point this week between monday and friday. some of those communities possibly even having two or three days in a row of record-breaking temperatures. it's also not just the temperature we're concerned about, but also when you factor in that humidity, you get what we call the feels like temperature. and some of these areas you're talking extremely high numbers corpus christi getting that feels like temperature all the

way up to 110 on tuesday. dallas looking like a feels like temperature on tuesday up to 114 degrees. really, the only areas that are likely not going to see much of this heat, especially in the eastern half of the country is places like the midwest, northeast and mid-atlantic. the reason for that, you have showers and thunderstorms moving into the area because of also the potential for severe storms especially for cities like new york, washington, d.c., stretching down through atlanta. the main threats there will be damaging winds and the potential for large hail as well. the attorneys of bryan kohberger, the suspect in the stabbing deaths of the four students say there's no connection between his client and the victims. he also says the defense is unaware of what sort of testing was conducted on the samples collected from crime scene. kohberger faces four counts of
