russian mercenary leader yevgeny prigozhin cause of his rebellion after 24 hours of mayhem. roadblocks to stop his wagner forces are filled in as the crisis is a diffused. after a direct threat to his leadership, the questions over vladimir putin's future. forces in ukraine assess how the turmoil will affect the progress of the war. also this morning, the public tolls they can now call 999 after a technical default. labor calls for mandatory help for homeowners struggling to meet rising mortgage payments. good morning, the rebellion by the russian mercenary leader yevgeny prigozhin appears to be over. the russian president, vladimir putin called it a knife in the

back of our people, and said his forces were -- but a deal has now been negotiated by belarus and the kremlin, so that the rebel leader will be allowed to leave the country, and his fighters will not be prosecuted. our moscow correspondent diane mcenany reports. >> yevgeny prigozhin, cheered by supporters after bringing his country to crisis point. it was a rebellion that ended as quickly as it began, armed wagner mercenaries, leaving less than one day after they took it over. adl swiftly struck to call off his troops. >> the time is common but might be shed. therefore, conscious that russian blood might be shed by one of the parties, we are turning out columns around and returning to the field camps. >> in return, prigozhin was sent into exile in belarus, there are no charges against him, they are dropped. other wagner rebels were prosecuted, despite president

putin's tv addressed 12 hours earlier, threatening punishment for criminals, launching armed mutiny. >> translator: we are fighting for the life and security of our citizens and our territorial integrity. it is an attempt to subvert us from inside. this is treason in the face of those who are fighting on the front. this is a stab in the back of our troops and the people of russia. >> wagner forces have seized the city of rostov-on-don, a crucial launchpad for russia's offensive in ukraine. ben, it followed chaos and confrontation. >> translator: prigozhin declaims of on the hunt for justice, accusing russia's military chiefs of killing his men. an explosion shook a second city, if they don't ash, and a missile narrowly missed a military helicopter over there, an oil decker was also set on ways, with a convoy of wagner fighters headed to moscow. authorities scramble to build roadblocks to slow their

advance, but as yevgeny prigozhin's mercenaries junior, there was an unexpected u-turn. a deal brokered by russia's key ally, alexander lukashenko of belarus, has got the man once called putin's pitbull step back. he is now leaving russia, his future, and his wagner mercenary group uncertain. vladimir putin may have faced down the greatest threat in his 23 year grip on power, but images of troops preparing defenses in moscow, and the threat of armed insurrection could do lasting damage to the kremlin and the authority of the president. diana magnay, sky news, moscow. >> now, as the wagner military leader heads to belarus, things are slowly returning to some kind of normality in russia. wagner forces have been continuing to withdraw from the verona region. people have posted videos

showing military vehicles and buses with flags driving on a highway in a southern direction. russian authorities started to dismantle roadblocks overnight in the lipetsk region, somewhere midway between rostov-on-don and moscow, excavators were then seen filling in an improvised moat which they hoped would make the route i'm passable for wagner troops. well, let's just remind ourselves how events unfolded. this all happened very quickly yesterday. it began early on saturday morning, in rostov-on-don, when wagner group forces occupy the headquarters for russia's military operations in ukraine. then seized control of military facilities in voronezh. now, that is 500 kilometers south of moscow. a mercenary convoy than advanced north of voronezh, that is along the midway towards the capital. russian forces then erected defensive positions and blockaded main roads and

bridges along the route, before the order was given for the mercenaries to stand down. was given folet's now get more a magnay in moscow. and our international affairs editor, dominic roy corn in the ukrainian city of dnipro. first, to diana magnay, who is back in moscow for us, any successful rebellion of course, diana, would involve taking moscow. but it fell several hundred kilometers short? >> yes. and you do wonder what it was, that mercenary column would or could have done once they got to moscow. when they have taken the defense ministry and key military installations over here? they would have needed considerable support from security forces within moscow to do that, and perhaps yevgeny prigozhin failed to realize that was not going to come through. that's one possible theory. i think it will also be interesting to see when and if

we hear or see the defense minister, sergei shoigu or valery gerasimov at some point, because the kremlin said last night, that their future was not discussed as part of this deal. but seeing as apparently they were the targets of prigozhin's wrath, a, it will be good to see them. and be, you do wonder if vladimir putin could not just listen to prigozhin. get everyone in one room together. he is the commander in chief. he could negotiate some kind of arbitration between all of these factions, but that is not the way that he plays his people or his politicians, or his military forces. so we have the situation that we do. it is an extraordinary situation. i think most people in russia, as we are in the west are wondering what on earth happened. it also seems suspicious. think about what the outcomes actually are now. of course we do not know what

kind of power prigozhin will have when he goes to belarus, whether putin will let him have any at all. but if he does, then you have this very powerful, very violent man with a lot of troops at his disposal in belarus, where president lukashenko is essentially at the back and call of vladimir putin in any case, and his health is in question. i would imagine that the kremlin has been looking around for alternatives. so for yevgeny prigozhin, that would suit him just fine to have a powerful position in belarus. it also does not bode well for the ukraine offensive going forward. so walsh to talk about the damage that this might have done to vladimir putin in terms of his authority, the fact that he could have faced, and was facing off an apparent threat from the inside was essentially his worst nightmare. we must also consider the fact that if he is still palace with prigozhin, a powerful prigozhin in belarus is not a great thing for ukraine either. it is a good thing for vladimir putin, if he does not fear

prigozhin, if prigozhin's rat was only ever directed at shoigu and valery gerasimov, which he always says it was. he knows he has to say it that way in this system. >> and diana, this time yesterday, moscow was fortifying the entrances to the city. now it looks behind you like everybody is just getting on with their day-to-day business as if nothing has happened. how is this being framed for the russian people? >> to be honest, if you have been standing near the kremlin yesterday, it would've looked at the same. the russian people have the ability to let events roll off of them. and for some of the people i have been speaking to today, they are not really sure what happened. red square behind me is closed, the only indication we have had, is the fact that this is now a city under a heightened terror alert is that we have plainclothes policeman coming up for us for accreditation earlier, which does not normally happen. interestingly as, well the wagner websites and channels on

telegram are being shut down because now it is banned organization, and wagner troops are supposedly meant to sign this contract with the ministry of defense, which is what prigozhin was railing about in the first place. i think as far as what is going down with the russian people, it is difficult to know. i think a lot of people will be wondering what on earth happened, and because you never really understand why things have gone the way they are in russia, it just feeds more confusion, conspiracy theories. but vladimir putin did make that address, did make it clear to the russian people there was a significant threat, that he thought they were facing. and the strange thing is how quickly he managed to see that off. if this was carefully choreographed, then he does not come out of it looking good. but what i do think is that lukashenko would have been called upon to try to resolve this issue, and he certainly

would not have done it on his own initiative. >> all, right diana magnay for us there in moscow. we can now cross over to our international affairs editor, dominic ryan corn in the ukrainian city of dnipro. good morning to you, dominic. president putin will certainly, in the very short term have had his eye taken off of the ball with what he was trying to achieve in ukraine. in medium term, possibly he will be distracted by threats to his leadership. what does this mean for what is happening in ukraine, and how our ukrainian forces potentially taking advantage of it? >> well i think for now what it means for most ukrainians is just a sense of disappointment, it's what is said to us. we are very sorry, we have had hope, and the hope was that they would see russians fighting in killing each other, we are often told here that the only good russian is a dead russian, and by now they hoped they would have seen a lot more directions now. if that seemed bloodthirsty,

imagine your country being violated, rampaged, invaded by a force that rapes, lutz, murders, kidnaps and massacres and attacks civilian targets almost constantly. so they are disappointed. this seems to have fizzled out. i think there was a sense of agreement with mini timmaraju analysts, propagandists in the west that putin has been weakened by this. the law of the jungle in russia, and he has shown weakness and therefore they hope that his opponents will smell blood. i think maybe they might be surprised as anyone else, it seems to be easy to now take an army that close to moscow, in less than one day. i think the overriding question for ukrainians is probably this, if putin was able to outfox they warlord leading a band of battle hardened mercenaries, what else could possibly bring him down? he has survived the greatest threat yet, the question is very important to ukrainians, because as long as he remains in the kremlin, this war goes

on unless they can defeat his forces, and so far despite two weeks of counteroffensives, there are no real signs of that happening yet. there's also a sense of skepticism here as well, a sense of the kind of conspiracy theories but diana was talking with their, in moscow i think people do not think they have seen the end of this yet. they don't think that the drama has been played out. we went to a place which was bombed in the last couple of days, where 11 people were injured, four houses were flattened and people there were pretty underwhelmed by what they were seeing in russia. this was before the coup fizzled out. people didn't really care what happened in russia, the overriding since over there is a believe it when they see it. so that skepticism, i think, has been well founded. there is a sense of hope that it weakened by what has happened, but they know there is a lot more which could happen yet. >> all right, dominic, thank you very much indeed. we can now get more on where this leaves vladimir putin and the effect on the progress of the war in ukraine, as i was

just discussing there with dominic, with me here in this video is christopher steele, a former british intelligence officer with mi6, and the former british army intelligence security officer, philippe ingraham. good to have you gentlemen in the studio with me today. christopher, first to you, in the way this turned out, it is a bit odd, isn't? it putin was posturing very seriously, about the severe punishments of these traders, a knife in the back of the country, yet this just seems to have been an amnesty agreed with prigozhin, and he has gone off to belarus? >> i think is probably a lot we are not seeing in terms of what this deal actually was, and who brokered it, whether the chinese were involved and so on. in the next few weeks, i think we will see this play out. i will be surprised if shoigu stayed in power as defense minister. the other thing that has not happened here is a focus on the fsb, its failures after -- the close ally of putin, and on

the security council, former security director would part of that accountability probably. >> do you believe, it's come to the military aspect of this with you, philip? do you agree that putin is definitely looking weaker, when he put this rebellion down? but it did make significant progress, didn't? it as we were discussing earlier, prigozhin is out there is saying the whole war in ukraine is on the false perspective? >> i think that probably is the lasting most important part of this, the actual basis of the war was challenged in a way which has not happened before, it's actually illegal in russia, that will have had some residents, i think. >> and philippe, we have been talking about the slow progress that the wagner forces have been making in ukraine, yet they managed to make several hundred kilometers of progress inside of russia, seemingly with very little resistance. what does that tell us about the potential power dynamics within the russian armed forces? the>> the part with the russian

armed forces and the political side, it is all linked. there's a criminal underpinning to all of this as well, different factions, it's all about making money. what prigozhin managed to do was to get from ukraine, to capture one of russia's largest cities, rostov-on-don, without a shot being fired, and then get part of his forces to travel hundreds of kilometers north, up the m-4 route, and get within a couple hundred kilometers of moscow, within two hours driving time and from moscow. he did that in one day. he had spent before that, 18 months trying to capture a tiny little town of bakhmut, the whole area, suffering very heavy losses. so the significant difference of what was going on was, and from picking up on what christopher said, there's a feeling both within the military commander, headed by shoigu as the defense minister,

not picking up one of this military units should be under's command, planning this, doing this. and has managed to get up through russia, where the military there are charged to protect their home country, with the fsb. the fsb other architects of the original plan of what was going on in ukraine back in 2014, and working through this real failure of the top, politically, this will have implications which will play out. >> if prigozhin had been building up alliances within the giu for example, will this be defused now that he's been moved to belarus or not? they are saying the wagner group is like a hydro in some respect. >> it is. and the wagner group, effectively was it is a construct, and a gru construct, not just for ukraine, but for activities across the globe. the air is in a number of different countries around the world, carrying a different

activities on putin's behalf. and we can see that in red over here, all of the different countries, pretty quickly, we got syria, libya, central african republic, molly, sudan, mozambique and then of course, ukraine. that is controlling an awful lot of business, and corrupt business opportunities with diamonds, gold, oil, political influence in africa and everything else. it is huge business. those are hard commodities at a time, when we got political instability, and oligarchs one access to heart commodities that can't be frozen by sanctions. this is where that military business link is, this criminal link, is critical. >> christopher, there was a lot of speculation yesterday about where putin was, some people saying he got on his plane and was on his way, certainly out of moscow. it all gets really murky, doesn't it? because some people even say that perhaps, what we see on television is one of his doubles. from an intelligence point of view, is that just fanciful nonsense or could there be some

truth to it? >> i think it's a strong tradition in russia of using doubles. lenin did, stalin certainly did. so i would not be at all surprised if putin was using a double, particularly if he is not well, which is what we understand to be the case. i think last week there was a strange incident in moscow, where putin appeared, chairing a security council meeting, at the same time as putin appearing, supposedly live, laying a wreath somewhere. i think there's a lot of speculation now as to whether he is using a double. >> or we can defy the space time continuum? >> i think even putin could not manage that. but certainly, i think some of these things are serious points, and will create a degree of distrust and uncertainty within the leadership, along those lines. >> interesting. and filip, in terms of what it means for what is happening in ukraine, the ukrainians, talking to dominic over there, they are disappointed, thinking this might be the end of the putin regime, and therefore the

end of the war? >> the end of the putin regime could bring a more hard-line in, might not be good news for ukraine. ukraine still has to defeat russia militarily on the ground. this would not have had any impact from a tactical perspective, because the russian defenses are still there, and the troops are still on the front line, they still after anti tank weapons, minefields, traps, ukrainians are still trying to attack through three access, but went to the north of that, down towards vuhledar, and then further towards the south from zaporizhzhia, we have not committed yet their main effort. but there is still a tactical fighting going on, ukraine is just losing troops from that perspective. how this affects things is the behind the scenes decision-making. because russia's decision-making is very top down, and the top-down commanders are confused with everything else going on in this prigozhin piece. if ukraine can exploit that by destroying other headquarters

and logistic hubs, it could still sow confusion, and help the tactical battle, but is not an immediate solve. >> all, right i could talk to you all morning about these topics. rather strictly, i am out of time. we now move on, but i thank you very much indeed, gentlemen. fascinating, fascinating conversation. now the emergency services say that 999 calls have been connecting now because of a system failure with bt. we can now get more on this, from skies alice porter. what on earth is going on? there's been a lot of police services out there, a lot of forces saying that they're 999 members are not working. >> it's been an extraordinary couple of hours, really. this began half past eight when we heard from the metropolitan police service, which had tweeted saying that, they were having problems with people connecting on 999 calls. quickly, it became obvious that all of the major police forces in the country were effective,

we saw this from the greater manchester police, but also it emerged that fire services and ambulance services as well we're all being impacted, some were saying that they were struggling to connect the calls. some also said they struggled to divert the calls on to the appropriate emergency services. some got slightly different advice, some say not to call 999 at all, instead calling some of the non emergency numbers such as 111, or 101. but others were also saying to try 999, or if you could not get through, the try some of the non emergency numbers. so there is definitely a bit of confusion going on. if you look at the northwest ambulance service, they were one of those which tweeted, and they said, be t have reported a system failure in diverting 999 calls to all emergency services. if you need to get hold of us in a serious or a life-threatening emergency, and can't get through on 999, please call 111, for medical

emergencies. now, beattie is the operator, which is the system for making calls to the emergency services, and a spokesperson gave this statement saying, early this morning, we experienced a problem with the 999 service situation, it is fast moving, as we fix the problem, now the platform is working, so people should call 999 as usual, we will provide updates as this issue is resolved. so of course, good news there. i think questions remain as how this really could have happened. but we had almost two hours where people across the uk could not necessarily get hold of their emergency services. >> all right. things look to be getting back to normal there, alice, thank you very much indeed. you are watching sky news, stay with us. coming up later, the calls for mandatory and help, people struggling with rising mortgage bills, but the government urges patients. urt ge patients n

after the best nap of my life... and papa is hungry. and while you're hittin' the trail, i'm hitting your cooler. oh, cheddar! i've got hot dog buns! and your cut-rate car insurance might not pay for all this. so get allstate, and be better protected from mayhem, like me. roar. (sfx: family screams in background) frustrated by skin tags? dr. scholl's has the breakthrough you've been waiting for. the first fda-cleared at-home skin tag remover clinically proven to remove skin tags safely in as little as one treatment. >> so that all mortgage payers,

not just some have access to these measures that gives them more flexibility to extend mortgage terms, to be able to shift from one type of mortgage to another. >> well, earlier, trevor phillips questioned john glenn, the chief secretary to the treasury as to why the government is not providing more support. >> basically, we shut down the economy.

we spent a lot of money when we came out of covid, we had a lot of debt interest to pay. that has gone up, because interest rates have gone up. and that means our public finances are very challenged, to significance, once in 100 years, and once in several generations. the government is here to deal with whatever circumstances are happening, and we are taking the right decisions at a difficult time. the imf indeed endorsed a recent assessment in the uk economy. >> well the chief secretary as well, was also asked about reports that the puck -- prime minister was planning to block theorizes for public sector workers. >> what happens is we have a report of the pain review bodies, most of those have come in. then we look at those and make an assessment. obviously, in some of the disputes we have had in recent months, that led to resolution. we are pleased that several of the nhs unions agreed with the agenda for change deal, 5% and

then 4%, and some different changes across working practices. we will look at those pay-per-view body reports, that will be the prime minister and chancellor working together. with me, with the right way of resolving this is. >> let's take a look at the weather. >> warm memories, wherever you go. the weather, sponsored by cassiar airways. >> well the weekend is said to finish with a thundery breakdown, by tomorrow, things will feel much pressure. central and eastern parts will stay dry and sunny, the longest to, they be hot and humid along the southeast, further west, outbreaks of rain. some heavy, thunder will move eastwards, some heavy showers will follow, in the northern island, temperatures will be near normal. thunderstorms developing across north england and eastern scotland this afternoon could bring torrential downpours.

>> hello. this is your weekly news fyi, where we give you the latest of a top stories. >> can you spot a fake story for everyone? >> to get these viral images that have been doing the rounds online, and tell us what you think. >> the super cute creatures are supposedly rare white bats which had a little bit like pomerania dogs with wings. >> and this picture is meant to be a very type of plant, called a duck orchid, but are these real or just fake news? find out later. >> now, you might have seen there was one refugee day recently, a day to celebrate the strength and courage of people forced to leave their homes because of war, famine and terror. >> it was started by the united nations, a global organization that brings countries together to agree on and talk about what

issues. >> and this, year i was part of the great big live assembly. my name is skyler, i am a journalist for the children's news program, fyi. a special school assembly where thousands of peoples across the uk watched a live broadcast from a syrian refugee camp in jordan. some of the people got to talk to children in the refugee camp to get a better understanding of what life is like for them. >> but it's really interesting, actually. because i went to that refugee camp myself last year. it was real eye-opening experience to be honest with you. i mean no one should have to live in those conditions, never mind children. >> while the film it was shown as part of the big great big live assembly. i have been speaking to people at bragging how school, who took part to hear their parts and how i found it. >> what did you learn from the great big live assembly? >> how hard it is for the refugees to move from one country that they know to a different country that they have no clue about. >> i knew about refugees, but i never knew about how they live

once they get into a refugee camp. >> i never knew, that people are suffering so much in camps. >> it's very important to kind of learn about peoples, you never know what someone is going through. >> i love when they showed how much they progressed, with just a few materials. it gave me hope. it taught me that even if things are down, there is always some part you can rebuild. >> they have an education, i don't expect them to have that stuff over there, they have little shops in the corner, and how long they were, cramped black houses, and shops. >> the most major moment was how kind of poor these conditions are. it's sort of enlightens you to have these people really have to live. i saw one of the houses had metal sheets on the outside. it made me think of my house and how we have bricks outside, insulation. >> everyone was quite cramped into one space. i found it quite shocking. it really makes you think about everything you take for granted, even your house is just

something in our lives, we think we all have. like everyone in the world, it kind of add latency to the fact that not everyone is as lucky as you. >> it made me feel bad for these people, they had to go from one place to another, with nothing, no. one >> is pushing the berreman a moment, being able to live in a country where you feel safe. and some people don't have that, so it's really important. >> if we ever need a reminder about what many refugees have to go through, then this last week has given us that, with a terrible tragedy in the mediterranean. >> a boat, carrying hundreds of migrants in refugees from libya to italy capsized off of the coast of greece, with many people losing their lives, or still missing. so why are people still continuing to leave their home countries and make these sort of journeys if they are so life-threatening? if you just don't get it, don't worry. because our than has been investigating.

>> you know what they say, there is no place like home. but imagine just for a moment that your home was no longer safe, and you had to live somewhere like this instead. it could be because of war or your family has been badly treated because of your beliefs, or even climate change, which can cause severe droughts and floods. when this happens, and families are forced to flee their homes to seek shelter, in a different country, they become refugees. i speak from experience, because i am a refugee. >> this is me, in a refugee camp, in calais, in france. >> this tent was out home for many months. me and my family had to leave my home country of iran because our lives were in danger. we traveled thousands of miles. each country we got to force us to leave and go to the next one, until finally, we reached the french coast.

more on my story later. firstly, how many refugees are there like me? look at this. across the world, they are currently over 32 million refugees. nearly 14 million of them are children. it is the biggest mass movement of people since the second world war, when millions of people fled their homes to find somewhere safe to live. in fact, the united nations says every minute of every day, an average of 25 people are forced to flee their homes. more than seven out of ten refugees come from just five countries. they are places hit by war and violence, like syria, afghanistan, and south sudan. and most recently, ukraine. and extreme poverty has driven millions of people out of venezuela. so where do all of these

refugees go? well, most of them end up in these three countries. so can you guess which country looks after the most refugees? the answer is turkey, with 3.7 million refugees, while columbia has 2.5 million, and germany has 2.2 million. most of the refugees live in towns and cities, or refugee camps, or the conditions can get cramped and overcrowded. some refugee camps are as big as cities, but not everyone is happy about their country taking in refugees. check out these uk ed lines from the last few years. some people believe we already have 2 million refugees here, and there's not enough space for anyone else. but others say that refugees should be welcomed here, and should be given support to rebuild their lives. in fact, thousands of british

families signed up to host ukrainians. whatever you think, they are still hundreds of people who risked their lives to come to britain every year, like me. the uk was our final hope. we left our refugee camp in france. and with the help of people smugglers, we had no choice but to cross the english channel on a small boat. it was terrifying. eventually, the government accepted my family was in danger in iran, and we are so grateful that we have been allowed to make a new life in the uk. i have learned to speak english, and i have a great school. some politicians are calling for stricter patrols to try and stop people from coming here in small boats. my hope is more can be done to help people like me, the moment that we step foot in europe. if you need a reminder of the scale of the problem, how about this? just spend the time you have

been watching this. somewhere in the world, about 100 people will have been forced to flee their homes. o flee their homes >> another person who knows exactly what it is like to be forced to leave their home, is 13 gold ukrainian refugee, you have a. i went to need her to find out more. >> the beginning, horror, war, the fear in my eyes. >> she is a ukrainian refugee, who fled her home city of kharkiv, after russia invaded ukraine. she now lives in dublin and has written a book about her experiences, called you did not know what war is. >> all of a sudden, a massive rocket sped by and exploited with such force but i felt my heart growing cold in my chest. >> why did you decide to write a book? >> i decided to write it, i was not expecting it would be a book, i thought it would be

like maybe a story, maybe about myself? i wanted to express all of my feelings on to the paper and like, i really wanted, after a few years i would be able to read it only the way future children will ask what war was like in ukraine, and they will be able to be this. >> it is amazing, you to start operating a diary and it has become a whole book but has been published. so what was the process of writing the book? >> i decided to write everything that happened to me. everything i was feeling and this is like, this is such a painful situation, so i was just describing our journey from ukraine, and through europe, eventually where we settled in ireland. >> yeva has settled into her new life in ireland. but the impact of war is still

on her mind. >> so do you think your book will help others who are struggling? >> i think it will help for people to realize what war does to us, it destroys families and children. i really want everyone to understand, we do not need a war, we should have peace in every single part of the world. >> so you guys are into fashion, right? >> yes,. >> particularly when i am not in my uniform. >> have you heard of the latest craze, drunk -- junk couture? if you think i think about things you find in the bin, then you are. it junk could store these the largest youth sustainable fashion competition, change of people and scores across the world to create imaginative and pretty often wacky outfits. i have nothing but upcycled and recycled materials. two experts in the world of junk kouture join us now.

did a billion in russia by the wagner group is an internal matter for russia, if you echoed by many around the world, including countries seen as friendly with vladimir putin. i am now joined by sir mark wild current, former british ambassador to the u.n. and a former national security advisor. so mark, good to see you this morning. do you think june 24th is going to be a date in the history books which will be proven to have been pivotable? >> i think it could be. i don't think it is guaranteed, but this is the beginning of the end of president putin. undoubtedly, he's been a weekend by the extraordinary events we witnessed over the last 24 hours. as you mentioned, the western governments were monitoring the situation carefully, they were clearly concerned. because had it developed into a full scale civil war in russia, it has potential implications

for the security of all of us in europe and around the world. >> it is being reported that american intelligence knew that this was likely several weeks ago, and president putin himself knew it was coming. why did it seem to have been without any resistance, do you think? >> well, you are right. western intelligence follows very carefully the goings on within the armed forces of russia. therefore they have been monitoring these tensions between the wagner group led by yevgeny prigozhin and the sort of senior defense leadership in moscow. so it was not unusual that this happened in a sense. equally, what was striking was that president putin, perhaps through his own weakness did not intervene at a much earlier stage. after all, prigozhin has been saying very publicly, move things about the way the army is being run, the way the

campaign in ukraine is being run. and it is surprising that putin did not step in earlier. so when prigozhin did decide that things had gotten to a pass when he had to take direct action, he was able to take over the southern command in moscow, and march some way towards moscow without any apparent opposition from the russian regular army. that must have been very alarming for president putin. >> do you think that it is also odd, given the public address that he made where he was threatening the severe punishment, he did not actually name prigozhin personally, but it was clear what he was referring to, that he had been allowed to go to belarus in exile? does that mean that the wagner group is effectively neutralized as far as president putin is concerned about a threat? >> it is extraordinary, you are right. it is not just a very tough language by president putin and

of course my prigozhin, but also the fact that a number of army helicopters were shot down by the wagner group. and of course, roads were dug up on the way to moscow, roadblocks were being set up. so the people of moscow were feeling like they were being attacked. now given that background, the fact that this deal appears to have given prigozhin a sort of free pardon to retire to belarus, and that the wagner mercenaries will be absorbed into the regular russian army is perhaps a surprise, it is also the reason why i think this saga is not finally over. because i find it very hard to believe that prigozhin will have a quiet, peaceful retirement in belarus, and there may be repercussions in moscow as well, there are already murmurs that the defense minister shoigu could be sacrificed, or perhaps gerasimov, ahead of the army, which of course was precisely the objectives that prigozhin

had set publicly when he started this mutiny. so i do not think that we have seen the end of this saga, in any way at all. one thing is clear, putin has been further weakened by the infighting inside of the russian defense forces. >> as you are saying there, western powers are watching very closely indeed, particularly, what the response would be should civil war break out, in a country like russia, a very significant nuclear power. what do you think the response would have been? should it have spilled over yesterday rather than being contained? >> i think it's a sign of how serious the situation was, that's the moment the former president of russia, medvedev, still in a very senior leader position, would save nuclear weapons fell into the hands of bandits, it would be very serious. let us self evidently the case. i think that would have been

one of the concerns that western leaders discussed amongst themselves. because although the west absolutely wants putin to lose in ukraine, and president zelenskyy to recover the full sovereignty of his country, what they do not want to complete chaos and a breakdown of law and order or civil war in russia. because that has all sorts of potential, damaging consequences, given that the country is still the largest nuclear weapons holders in the world. >> do you think it might serve as impotence pro western powers to given or they can to ukraine, to try to bring an end to the war over there? >> i think that they should. the implications for the ukraine conflict are not yet clear, they haven't played out over sometime. actually it's quite encouraging that the wagner group will not now be involved so directly, because they were some of the

more effective russian fighters in ukraine. it is not clear how many of them will now join the russian army, how willingly they will submit to the defense ministry of russia. so that gives an advantage to ukraine. but time overall in a strategic sense is on russia's side in this conflict. they are trying to wear down western support for ukraine, and with american elections coming up, a possible change of policy by the american government, it is important that this counteroffensive is successful, and makes strategic difference on the ground to give the west the impetus to continue their military support they're getting at the moment. >> so mike, mark lila grant, thank you very much for talking to us. >> thank you. >> now, with wimbledon just over one week away, where does the time go? the princess of wales has been joined by the king of tennis, the eight-time world in champion, roger federer, to
