night. good morning, after weekend that shook the kremlin, the united states is warning the rebellion shows we will clap, cracks in blood putin's government. the whereabouts of the mutiny leader prigozhin is currently unknown. neither he nor president putin have been heard from since coming to a last-minute agreement on sunday through verte bloodshed. but another important figure in all of this. this video is said to show the russian defense minister sergei shogren at the war in ukraine. sky news -- the implication is that he is still in post after being in yevgeny prigozhin's crosshairs. let's get the latest on the ground, let's speak to our moscow correspondent. hi diana, very good morning to you. so, my goodness would happen

over the weekend? what is going to happen next? plenty to go on there. >> i wish i had a crystal ball to tell you what is going to happen next. what we have is as you said seen sergei shogren, the defense minister, the first person to appear after this mayhem 48 hours. he's not in ukraine, he's just inspecting a western formation of troops. and we haven't heard from buttery putin, we haven't seen anything of yevgeny prigozhin. has he gone to belarus already? or will he be doing in belarus? is he in disgrace and exile or actually is this some clever ruse of the kremlin to put him in belarus where wagner could, if you manages to get troops there, former sort of pincer movement on kyiv again. especially if alexander lukashenko is ill, is that a clever move? it is very difficult to decipher if that is the case given the fact that vladimir putin did come out looking very weak by the end of saturday night having started the day

declaring that any treason would be punished with the utmost harshness and ending the day by giving prigozhin a free pass to waltz off to belarus and forgiving any of his troops have taken part in the mutiny because of the role that they have played so far in russia's war in ukraine. it wasn't incredibly surprising turn of events. on sunday everything seemed to be pretty calm as i walked around moscow but people did seem shaken up inside. nobody wants to see their country fall apart and i also think that is something that applies to the west, to. the west is not a friend of vladimir putin, quite clearly. but they also don't necessarily want to see russia unravel and fell apart, although especially when it's not very clear who might follow him and somebody like yevgeny prigozhin at the helm although that is an incredibly unlikely perspective

would not be very palatable to the west, given the kind of man that he is. so still lots of questions, of course the west point brittle -ness of the regime but i think these regimes, autocratic regimes do tend to limp on. as we see in venezuela and syria both of them friends of vladimir putin. >> senior politicians speaking this weekend said that this is the -- this is the spotters in the jar. usually the strongest gets out alive, but if we can't. where does that leave ukraine in the meantime? >> i think it leaves ukrainians with some hope -- but that is tempered with a big dose of skepticism. they do think putin has been weakened by this. the approval was unchallenged. the voter troops were welcomed

as heroes in parts of russia. putin said that they would be punished they have been punished and all that shows that putin is weaker and they are all these deep fissures now clearly apparent in the russian power structure. but i think that they are not getting carried away in this. i think for them if this is the beginning of the end for putin as we've predicted by many the key question for ukraine is how long is that going to play out. because they are on a clock here, they believe. they know that western appetites for supporting this war probably is not. candidate in american election, they are unlikely to support ukraine. they feel that they have to make the most of the support they are getting right now. we're hearing from president zelenskyy saying that the west must not drop its guard, you must do what it can to keep pressure on russia so international order can be restored. there's a sense here that they're encouraged by this but i don't trust anything they hear from russia. bit believe what they've seen

or what's been presented so far is what it seems. even when the coup was at its height on saturday before it fizzled out ukrainians we spoke to at the site of the most recent russian missile strike were not really that precise about it, they said we don't care what happens in russia if they want to kill themselves they can we just need the west to carry and supporting. i think that's the sense of it here. they get some encouragement from it but don't take anything for granted. don't be too worried about russia falling apart, the perspective was -- that must make you take your eyes off the ball here, they say to us -- in terms of whether it's help the military were not the latest is the deputy defense minister here this morning is that they've taken 130 square kilometers of land since the counteroffensive began two weeks ago. but no significant change in the last week or so on the

front. so far what's happened in russia has not changed things here in a military sense at all. >> -- -- -- -- khorasan is mourning speaking about all of this is ukraine's ambassador to the uk. touches of york has urged people to get checked after revealing she's been treated for breast cancer. she found out she had an early form of the disease during a routine mammogram, let's get more on that, alex is standing by for us. she's okay but she had a scare >> she had quite a scare and actually some quite major surgery. she left the king edward the seventh hospital in central london yesterday and it's believed that she had one of her breast removed so she had a mastectomy and is recovering with her family in windsor at

the moment. a few weeks ago she launched a podcast called t talks with sarah-jane thompson which they talked about their personal experiences. it seems she's very much done this because in her latest podcast which is out today she's talked about her diagnosis with breast cancer and her preparations for surgery. we can watch that now. >> i'm telling you that i am doing this. i am telling people out there because i want every single person that is listening to this podcast to get checked, go get screened. -- >> she didn't have any symptoms at all so this was only picked up at a routine screening, routine mammogram. that women in the uk between 15 and 71 they're invited every three years first printing. she's using her position to raise awareness about how important it is for people to

go to the screenings and make sure that they get checked. for doctor says that the prognosis is very good which is great news of course and i think hopefully woman will see what she has done and perhaps make sure they go and take up their screenings. >> check yourself as well, ladies, don't just wait for those mammograms. and remember, people live with cancer rather than that with cancer especially when it comes to breast cancer. don't be fazed by, go and have your checks and check yourself as well, please. front pages of the papers this morning very much that story the damage -- the duchess of york undergoing surgery for breast cancer they say she is now recovery. the sun also reports on her successful procedure. the express has the same story this morning. the mere rate of the duchess prognosis is good after early

detection. russia is the other big story today the times reporting on internal government assessments that britain must prepare for the fall of irma putin after the weekend rebellion. and the guardian getting on the u.s. suggesting that the wagner uprising reveals cracks in putin's authority. >> so chris aged 55 to 74 in those who've given up are the target of a new screening program to spot one case early. -- this will use patients records to assess if they are high risk. a successful pilot program saw most screenings take place and mobile trucks parked by supermarkets and other convenient spots. meanwhile the nhs has been found to be performing substantially less wells than similar countries on life expectancies and other health benchmarks. it's out performance on

staffing levels hospital beds and mri scanning. also this morning an inquest into the death of -- -- her body was found more than three weeks later in the river wire. the accidents investigation branch is working to find out with that to a hot air balloon accident which led to the death of a man in which to seriously. the man in his twenties was found dead at the scene. emergency services have been trying to catch up with a huge backlog of calls which were missed during a national outage service -- it's sincerely apologized for the fall which is now been fixed. >> u.s. coast guard said it's taking every precaution and care in case human remains were found on the sea floor after the titan submersible

implosion. mapping the scene for where debris has been found near the wreckage of the titanic as they investigate what went wrong. all five aboard the submersible were killed. and one person has died in a rollercoaster derailment at a swedish theme park. nine others including children have been hurt -- others with severe injuries. in other news, he's britain's greatest tennis player and now andy murray is heading into his 15th wimbledon surrounded by questions about whether it will be his last, let's get more. jacqui good morning -- he's an absolute superstar, he can go on forever even though he is a machine. >> so that concept me. no you can't go on forever. but a bit like elton john, he enjoys it loves this sort of battle out there. doesn't need to be doing it. doesn't need the money. doesn't need the. kudos doesn't need to prove anything to anybody. he enjoys. it spoken to a lot of ex sports

star to say do it for as long as possible. these are the best years of your life. nothing will replace it when you give up. there will be nothing like playing tennis on the big stage when you pack it in. so do it for as long as you can. and he thinks, he is really convinced that he can compete with the very best. he has been some of the best players in the world in the last 12 months. it just does not happen regularly enough, the way that it used to. and that is difficult. >> what has he said to you? >> the big question he will get. asked wimbledon starts today. he will be asked a lot. is this your last wimbledon? when are you going to retire? those questions, this is what he said to me. >> i hope not. but you never know. the athletes need to make the most while they're still able to. because if i was to have another big injury or something happened with the hip, that would be me finished and i wouldn't try to come back from

another. so i want to keep play. a bit longer. i know it's not going to be going on forever. but i have an idea of where i'd like to finish. and it's not this year's wimbledon. it's a stressful lifestyle and nick curious as admitted he's had suicidal thoughts when he lost a master off in 2019. does that surprise you? >> probably not. i mean individual sports are difficult. can become quite a lonely place. sitting in hotel rooms and you can have some tough moments. when athletes struggle with their mental health. >> has been a big talking point tennis for 12 months now about the russian belarusian players.

a lot to play wimbledon last year, playing this year. have any thoughts on that? >> and if you had to play for one of those countries, would it affect even anyway? >> i have competed against players from those countries and i wouldn't say that it has affected me. i have the utmost sympathy for all of the ukrainian players that are playing and are put in that situation. i can only imagine how difficult that must be. for them to deal with. and also the tournaments. they are also put in a really difficult situation as well. with the governing bodies. >> so it starts a week monday. >> if you got to the second week, that be amazing. it doesn't happen these days. he knows that. but he is going to give it a go and when it starts in the first

match, he will make it all the way to the end. >> we hope so. he's got a middle hip and nobody has ever played tennis before with a metal hit. >> i can't play tennis without a medal. >> some people struggled on the. to even walk after that operation. he was determined to prove everyone wrong, he is done. and everything else is a bonus. >> jacqui thanks, thanks a lot. here is what is coming up for you later on. in the program. much to discuss on the health front. today shortly speaking to the health minister to come in a moment. also, attorney general is here. just after eight. some research comparing our mortgage payments to homeowners elsewhere in europe. and, asking the defense committee chair of what the government makes of russia's rebellion. and what could be next for vladimir putin. vladimir putin >> as promised, health minister with us now good morning, thank you for joining us on the program. this morning. let's start first of all with

the world plan. if you wouldn't mind. i know that there is a lot to talk about. we are short of 12,000 possible doctors. 50,000 nurses and midwives. so said jeremy hunt when he was chairman of the health select committee. 13 years of conservative government. >> two things are happening. first i'll talk about what we've been doing the last couple years at the moment. and then come to the long term workforce plan we will be publishing later this week. since 2010, we have increased the number of doctors in the nhs by over 40,000. nurses in the nhs by over 50,000. we have record numbers of staff in the nhs. in fact, in the last election, government made a commitment in our manifesto that we would recruit and retain 50,000 in the nhs. and we are on track to do that. but we know we need to go further. we know also that is proportion of our staff are internationally trained doctors

and nurses, health care professionals. doing a great job. we hugely value the international workforce and our uk workforce. we want to be able to recoup and retain doctors and nurses. and that will be part of our long term workforce plan. this is a historic first for the health service to belong to future working plan. will be published later this week. >> we've been going through the number of negotiations with national health service. staff and reached agreement with over 1 million of those staff. including for instance, nurses in the wards getting around 5000 pounds. draw on the recommendations in our pay of course. >> you are going to accept a recommendation? >> i've already been asked this question this morning. something the government does this look at the pay bodies. i've been involved in that

process myself in the past. as health minister with oversight. >> i'm actually not going to preempt the next stage of the process. >> six and a half percent. >> i'm not going to prevent the next stage of the process. so what happens is the bodies provide their recommendations to government. government reviews that and then responds with the pay proposal. government has to look over what's affordable. the prime minister has been clear in fact talking about this over the weekend. needing to be responsible with the public finances. and number one priority is of course that we must bring down inflation. the government has to look at things. so i would not preempt a response. >> just to clarify, the pay-per-view bodies take risks from government bodies don't? the >> the government provides input into the pay-per-view body. and the prime minister chooses the chairman? >> it's an independent process. >> does the prime minister

choose the chairman? >> i don't know the exact process of the appointment. >> the pm chooses the chairman. and then the government tells the pay-per-view ward with the upper limits are of the budgets. and then they say, okay as a result, 6% for nurses and doctors. six and a half percent for teachers or whatever it might be. so you say okay. >> the way the process works is that the pay-per-view bodies gather evidence. they take input from government. they take evidence from the workforce unions. from health unions. they also look at the kind of rates of pay in the wider market. look at, inflation they come back with a recommendation. and there's a number of pay-per-view bodies, different parts of the public sector. some have reported back, others have not. government has to look at public sector pay in the round. and it makes sense for us to do that because we have to make

responsible decisions. i didn't for a moment say. that let's be clear. we take the advice and recommendations from the pay-per-view bodies. but you will understand the government has to be responsible with the public finances. that is why can't say here now with the outcome of the whole process is going to be. we know we have a number one priority of bringing down inflation. and that actually the job and government and prime minister is to make tough decisions. >> just to clarify, can -- can teachers expect between six and a half percent recommended by the public sector pay-per-view body? >> i would not preempt the outcome of the government response to the pay-per-view bodies. >> but when your colleagues, and indeed you previously, talking about percentage pay increases. you have always said that we have to abide by with the independent pay-per-view bodies suggest to us. >> i don't believe that is what we've always. said >> we've always said,

certainly what i've said in the past on this is that we look at the amidations flipping review bodies. it's very important that they provide us with. >> chairman astros by the prime minister, you tell them what the budgets are. >> what is the point? the >> point is to have a process where you have expert advice on recommendations on pay. but the government has to make decisions in the round. but we are also doing is coming later this week with a long time workforce plan. because on one hand, here and now, we are -- >> talk to me about the long term investments. >> the long cancer investments. >> i'm delighted. we are ruling out a national long cancer screening program. that will be inviting people who are at high risk of lung cancer. for instance people who have been smoking aged between 55 and 74 to come forward and be assessed. invited to one cancer screening tests. the reason we're doing this

because long cancers one of the country's biggest killers. kills over 35,000 people here. and that is partly because too often lung cancer is diagnosed late. the majority of people are diagnosed with lung cancer. and if you're diagnosed, late treatment is less likely to be effective. in fact, unfortunately if you are diagnosed with lung cancer, your prospects of surviving five years are only around 4%. if you diagnose early, it's more like 60%. so we know that with this kind of targeted screen program, we can diagnose the majority of lung cancers early. and that makes a big difference to people. >> one of the other concerns expressed. cancer saw the duchess of york's recovery, had a mastectomy, talking openly about. it susan talk to us. she was lobular breast cancer. a perhaps presidents are not as well-known is the more normal chance if you will. she came to see you after being on our program. and you said that you would

bring up lobular breast cancer with the institute. have you done? >> i have had several meetings with cancer charities and cancer organizations. and one of many things that we talk about. i love to get back to you about the specific details of the conversations i've had with breast cancer charities, but one of the things i've been talking to rest cancer charities is about our screening programs. we know screening is important. the duchess of york has been talking about. and i wish her very well from her recovery from her treatment. she has emphasized rightly the importance of people taking up their invitation to go for screening. and we continue to look at what things we can do to make sure that we diagnosed cancer as early as possible. to have the best possible outcome. >> we wish, well most certainly, all of us watching this morning as well. i'm sure. final thought, prime minister yesterday telling people that they should hold their nerve over their mortgage payments

going up. you're looking forward seeing that on the doorstep when you are campaigning? >> i think it has been slightly misquoted on that. i think overall his point is as a country we have to and we know that it's going to take time for us to bring inflation. down number one priority. clearly one of the priorities set up. >> we need to hold on? >> won't growing the, economy reducing debt. cutting and holding on holding our nerve. inflation is not going to come down overnight. this is hard work we have to do as a country. includes making responsible, tough decisions on the nation's finances. >> thank you very much indeed. thank you. quick look at the other area. at the other area >> much fresher feeling today.

long spells rain in the week ahead. hot and humid weekend. most places will have a pleasant start this morning with plenty of sunshine. in just a few isolated showers. in the west. in the west. >> i won last night will probably be talking about this performance of many years to come. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> take it away. i'm sorry saint-jean. ozhan treated fans to hear after him. from the permit stage. his first performance. what he said will be his last live uk gig. >> the question we were asking this morning. on your thoughts.

what did you think about last? guilty of it so? how amazing was that performance by sir elton. phil carriage agrees. amazing, saw him in london a few weeks ago and he sounded better there. probably being a smaller venue. but his set last night was just on a different level. one of the great glastonbury headline performances. and chris, saying the songs are so good. can't beat a good sing-along. certainly doing that for my sofa. and one more. who else should we share? there's so many, i don't know which ones to. choose set an example for everyone is well surrounded last night. so many to redo. i'll bring you more in the next hour. what do you think of the performance? your thoughts.

painted it up for you. the rethought below. we will share them with the world. it was probably the most heartwarming moment of the festival, uvalde was powering through this on the main stage yesterday when he began to lose his voice. and experience takes from history singer. crowd helped him out. a look. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ i think oh saturday. actually svod's tap in back from my performances for a little bit. but how much love was there for him in the crowd? at glastonbury.

your garden. fans of tornado. they actually call it a funnel cloud. caused quite a bit of damage in indiana. no reports of injuries. the quite a sight. candid turning away. over his fans. >> top stories for you this morning. united states warning the rebellion by the wagner mercenaries in russia shows real cracks in vladimir putin's government. duchess of york has urged people to get checked after revealing she is being treated for breast cancer.

and the health minister told this program a few moments ago that the government would look at recommendations from the independent pay-per-view board for nih staff that would not commit to meeting them. and this is what she had to say. >> pay-per-view police gather evidence. take input from government. they also take evidence from the workforce union from day unions. look at the rates of pay inflation. and they're combatting with the recommendation. but there is actually a number of pay-per-view bodies. different parts of the public sector. some have reported back, others have not. government has to look at public sector pay in the round. and it makes sense for us to do that. because we have to make responsible decisions as government. >> i did not for a moment say that. let's be clear we take the advice, the recommendations from a review bodies. but you'll understand

government has to be responsible. that is why i can't say here and now with the outcome of the whole process is going to be. number one priority of bringing down inflation. the german government and job of a prime minister is to make tough decisions. >> so to be clear, the government gives them an idea of what the apartments are. these pay-per-view boards. the prime minister chooses the chairman of the pay-per-view boards. and ministers month after month sat there and say well, we have to go with what the independent purview boards. as >> ministers appointed chairman though they are an independent panel and they look at also to things like public finances, whether the sector struggling to recruit. and so on. and, yes we've heard for months. in december, we have an independent paper everybody. and we will continue to defer to the process. to ensure decisions balance the needs of staff and economy. around that time, last year the cabinet office.

the pay-per-view buddy process was essential to take politics out of. it even had unions who wanted higher pay rises. and we're being recommended last year. saying the government were hiding behind pay-per-view bodies. why we saw minister saying no, it's not for us. should be looked at independently. so the prime minister near tv interview over the weekend. saying the challenges of tackling inflation is so great. now when they're pay-per-view bodies report. we expect more from teachers and police officers. whom might just ignore them. because it might be unaffordable. this holds out the prospect. it's public sector unions see this happening. of strikes continuing to the rest of the year. into next. you already to new data and the teachers beginning july. doctors threatening a five-day strike this public sector unrest could escalate and having said the pay-per-view bodies.

difficult questions of whether not. following >> thank you. more on the war in ukraine. now we obviously saw what was happening over the weekend. in russia, wagner group had fighting on the eastern flank. in ukraine. the mcgregor as it was called. particularly around bakhmut. back into russia. heading north towards moscow. with just 120 miles to go. what happens next? senior research fellow for land warfare at the royal united services institute this year. >> good to see. thank you joining us. >> pleasure. yes it was fairly dramatic. obviously the wagner group decided to stage a demonstration. but it seems to have caught a lot of people by surprise. he trajectory of the events was unexpected. >> what is your analysis from what happened?

why did they stop where they did. it's worth noting that when prigozhin took over the southern military district command post, he did not stop it operating. and he sat down with general alexei, and a deputy and a head of the gru. who's been running the wagner group operations for a long time. was obvious negotiations were going on in the background. and that this was essentially a ploy to shift the balance of power into the rush ministry of defence. so deal was very struck. >> why would he go to belarus? howard alexander lukashenko, president voters want him in his country? when he arrested 30-year-old people in the summer of 2020 during election campaign. that they're trying to. him >> no evidence the wagner group we're looking to s lukashenko. i think putin, given how far he won in his criticism of what president, needed to come to a settlement. that kind of the way.

somewhere he can be kept under control. separating him from a lot of his infrastructure. >> what does it mean for his troops? >> difficult to tell. in a process of the russian setting up. not just talking about other pmc's over the last few months. trying to get the same effect. these professional troops without having any more concentrated under one person's command. question then becomes whether the existing wagner forces are going to be broken, up distributed to other units or whether they are going to be allowed to remain in their current structure. >> initially, the reason this has come to a head understanding is that troops from the wagner group had to sign up to the regular military for the 1st of july. it was the deadline given to them. by the russian political movement. now it looks as though they are going to do that anyway. a vulnerable other gonna be? how risky. >> i have to put this in the

context of a wider power struggle inside the kremlin. beside the competing views about that notation function. essentially they are trying to get competent personnel. ideologically, apathetic. once that is a difficult circle to square. trying to use phone as an entity to create those motivated personnel. to make sure they are in the command of the ministry of defense is. something the ministry of defence won't. and if they've achieved that, at least pleased. >> they are just brutes? >> lot of their personnel have significant combat experience. they retain for longer than quite a lot of the personnel in the russian military. >> they were put under frontlines's meet grandfather went? the >> to get a glorious of troops talking about. they are evolving personnel who've been used for operations inside of russia. long term service personnel. and then there are conflicts that were mobilized. and as you say used is disposable.

country which the army has turned to his. well where that they are used in the same thing. from luhansk and donetsk. >> let's talk about. we saw him make for a five minute speech on saturday down in the south he was in control and how people who paid such and such a. it hasn't gone his way. we don't know where he is at the moment. some suggest that he has been flown out of moscow to st. petersburg where he comes from initially. perhaps. not prep somewhere else. he is weakened. >> the vulnerability has been demonstrated but at the same time, i think everybody in russia looked over the business so that whoever toppled him could not guarantee their own safety. so in a system where he is the arbiter between some fairly vicious competing factions, this might strengthen his security in some ways. because he is seen as the indispensable grand tour of the safety of whoever might want to replace. >> i'm reading the paper that this morning in the times i

think the west should prepare for some claps of the russian government, do you think that is correct? >> i think we have to prepare for a wide range of contingencies and that's one of. that does not mean that it's likely. you would have to prepare for high impact, low probability affairs. >> what does all this mean for ukraine? >> very beneficial for ukrainians. making slow progress in their offensive and so any disruption to russian command and control in addition to the destruction of their logistics network will make it easier for them to make progress in the field. i think ukrainians are fairly pleased by what transpired. >> have they made progress we are aware of while the squabbling has been going on in russia? >> it's not been huge progress territorially. but it is important to note the russians have had to commit a number of units that they were holding in reserve. which then means that the troops are not available to counter when ukrainians commit the bulk of their assault

force. >> good to talk, to you thank you very much for joining us. much appreciated. >> still to come, sir helen, did you see surround joe? >> you must, it is fantastic. his performance all in gold last. but it was pretty tame compared to some of his outfits of the. pass we will have a look at some of his most memorable ones in just a moment. in just a moment ♪ if there's pain when you try to poo ♪ sir elton did not finish till ♪ and going sometimes feels like you ♪ ♪ pushed through a pineapple or two ♪

11, he was amazing last night, final night performance in the united kingdom, and bidding farewell to him saying goodbye to the showman's incredible stage -- here is some of our favorites, as felton, way back, in 1974 dressed in feathers, seemingly levitating from the piano. this in 1986 captures the

singer performing at the amphitheater at universal studios in hollywood. he is in a star covered suit, and bright pink mohawk whip. you can see that can't you. this is also from 1980, six a type of music theater walking another mohawk and sparkly flowing jacket. now, the prince of wales, launching a project to tackle homelessness, describing the mission has his life support. the initiative calls home was, aims to support people to escape cycle abruptly sleeping and other unstable accommodation. >> what does home mean to you? >> it is a big project with a big ambition. prince william wants to and homelessness. >> it is why i am launching -- a program that commits to working with six locations across the uk in the next five years. >> it is his first intervention as prince of wales, but of
