Metro leads on the apparent attempted Wagner coup in Russia which occurred over the weekend. Alongside a headline punning a famous Ian Dury and the Blockheads song, the paper reports that Kyiv is “reaping the benefits” of the chaos caused by the mercenary mutiny.

Plenty of fun in the Glastonbury sun was had over the weekend and the paper carries a colourful montage of some of the acts who smashed the festival – including Rick Astley and Guns N’ Roses.

Yevgheny Prigozhin has broken his silence. The Wagner boss has just released an 11-minute audio recording for the first time since Saturday’s failed coup.

Officials in Russia are calling for unity two days after a failed coup attempt. Authorities desperate to showcase a sence of normality. In a video, President Vladimir Putin addressed a youth forum. And earlier today footage of the Russian defence minister was released, but the video has no sound and it’s unclear when it was shot. FRANCE 24’s International Affairs Commentator, Douglas Herbert, tells us more.
