Will challenge to Putin’s authority have a lasting impact?

BBC World Service - Weekend, Will challenge to Putin’s authority have a lasting impact?

The mutiny led by Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin is over, but has it weakened the Kremlin?

The Kremlin has announced that Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin will move to Belarus and face no criminal charges. His fighters will also avoid prosecution. 

Also today: a Kenyan sociologist’s special exhibit on the African migrant experience, which is on show at the Venice Biennale.

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.
