BBC World Service - Weekend, How will failed Russian mutiny affect war in Ukraine?

Kremlin says Wagner leader and his forces won't be prosecuted

Kremlin says Wagner leader and his forces won't be prosecuted.

Cheering crowds have watched the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, leave the Russian city of Rostov, hours after he called off his fighters' advance on Moscow. The Kremlin says Mr Prigozhin and his forces won't be prosecuted, despite President Putin's earlier warnings of punishment.

Also today, we hear about the healing sounds of Morocco's Master Musicians of Joujouka.

Audrey Brown and Tim Franks are joined by guests John Nilsson Wright and Olga Oliker. John is a senior lecturer in Modern Japanese Politics and International Relations at Cambridge University, and Olga is based in Brussels, where she's programme director for Europe and Central Asia at the Crisis Group.
