Summer sport, april to september is plenty of time for state schools to teach it, but it is the snobbery and elitism that deters lower classes from being interested. freddie flintoff did address this in a documentary last year, he knows it exists, that is from zara in berkshire. and my daughter recently turned eight, played and efforts cricket tournament for the club on sunday, it was away from home, and three girls teams took part, the club didnt send a couch, it was left to the dads to arrange...

Why? cnn just obtained new audio of prigozhin and he says the march to moscow was not a coup but only a protest. >> translator: two factors played into my decision to turn around, first factor, we wanted to avoid a russian blood shed. second is we marched in demonstration of a protest, not to overturn the power in the country. at this time alexander lukashenko extended his hand and offered to find solutions for the further work of wagner pmc in legal jurisdiction. >> cnn is covering this story f...

>> translator: therefore realizing all the responsibility for the fact that russian blood will be shed from one of the sides, we turn our columns around and leave in the opposite direction to the field camps according to the plan. >> were following all the latest developments. lets begin with nic robertson. nic, help us make sense of this extraordinary day in russia. that may be understating things. and what it might mean in the days ahead. the cheers we just played, those were for wagner. not v...

Relationship a 20-year relationship with prigozhin just doesnt pass muster. he wouldnt have done that if putin had ngt signed off in advance. so its face-saving for putin. everyone seems to be getting thems themselves out of a jam. and what after the day after? they have themselves out of a jam and there is still a ways to go on the jam. >> nic, i have to think the day after and the day after and the day after, that will be on prigozhins mind. how does he feel comfortable taking a sip of coffee ...

Is how much news they actually want. in talking to people today in cities that were not in the throes of what was going on with prigozhin, it was unnervingly calm for people i spoke to. they went for strolls in the park. they went to restaurants. they took their kids out. and why? there is a resignation that they no longer have any control over what is going on there. there is a difference between trying to get the news and actually saying something on an internet website or a chat group that go...

Private military company from his exile, if you will, in belarus? all these things are things that have not yet played out. yesterday there was a very late phone call by the kremlin with dmitry peskov where he laid only of this out. he didnt have the answers to many of the questions. obviously, all off this is still very fresh. one of the things that nic said, this was a big challenge for vladimir putin. i dont think that vladimir putin necessarily came out of this a lot weaker than he was befor...

Footprint that wagner has in africa. the middle east as well. one of the things that we havent looked at is the media empire also. yevgeny prigozhin is of course one of the people that the u.s. says meddled heavily in the 2016 the presidential election and was indicted for that by the united states. is yevgeny prigozhin going to step back from all of that, from his exile that realistically is belarus, is he going to play some sort of role? whats going to happen to the immediate commanders he as ...

President said what he was doing was treasonous and putin disliked people who arent loyal to him and that was the ultimate attack of disloyalty and prigozhin seems to have had leverage in this deal because he was able to walk away, save his life, and ostensibly go to belarus and take much of his military hardware with him, and i think it really doesnt pass the sniff test so far inasmuch as we dont know the details and prigozhin has utterly disappeared. what kind of deal is this, and has he gotte...

Nic robertson with more from london. so, nic, we will talk about prigozhin in a moment, what matthew was saying there. how weakened is vladimir putin to the larger question in matthews piece after this extraordinary weekend? >> reporter: yeah, he is weakened. i think when you try to analyze what has played out here, and actually the last few months, you can understand why. there has been a power struggle in putins inner circle with his most trusted people, defense minister and prigozhin have bee...
