Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a TV address following a short-lived rebellion from the Wagner mercenary group.

He said steps were taken to avoid major bloodshed during the rebellion, but it took time.

The Russian leader accused the organisers of the mutiny of wanting Russian society to "drown in blood".

Wagner fighters can sign a contract with the Russian military, return to their families, or move to Belarus, President Putin said.

The families of the five men who died in the Titanic submersible implosion have been paying tribute to their lost loved ones.

Relatives of the renowned French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet said he will be remembered as "one of the greatest deep-sea explorers in modern history".

The family of one of Pakistan's richest men, Shahzada Dawood, who was onboard the sub with his 19-year-old son Sulaiman, said they were "overwhelmed with the love and support that [the search and rescue mission] received and grateful to the those who showcased the best in humanity.”

The family of British billionaire explorer Hamish Harding have said: "If we can take any small consolation from this tragedy, it's that we lost him doing what he loved."

Stockton Rush was the chief executive of OceanGate, the firm that operates the Titanic voyages on the lost submersible. In a BBC documentary, he once said, "I read an article that said there are three words in the English language that are known throughout the planet. And that's "Coca-Cola", "God", and "Titanic"."

Emergency security measures remain in place in Moscow, after a rebellion by Wagner mercenaries that has shaken the position of the Russian president.

In a startling 24 hours, Vladimir Putin faced the greatest challenge to his authority since coming to power more than two decades ago.

While the immediate risk seems contained, Russia experts say Putin does not emerge looking strong, but rather badly bruised.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made a TV address after Yevgeny Prigozhin's attempted mutiny on Saturday.

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the events show the cracks in Mr Putin's authority.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, has left Russia for Belarus after abandoning his advance on Moscow.

Russia's defence minister Sergei Shoigu is shown on state TV visiting troops fighting in Ukraine in the first appearance since Wagner mercenaries mutinied.

The defence minister was seen inspecting troops - but there's no indication where or when the pictures where taken.

Wagner mercenary group chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had demanded Shoigu's removal and described him as evil.

Meanwhile, the rouble has fallen to a 15-month low as financial markets begin to respond to the weekend's short-lived rebellion.

Wagner mercenaries have taken control of a Russian city key to their war effort in Ukraine, with a convoy of their troops reportedly on route to Moscow.

Rostov-on-Don, near the Ukraine border, is seemingly under Wagner control, after their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin called for a rebellion against the army. Key military facilities in the city of Voronezh - which is halfway between Rostov and Moscow, are also said to be controlled by Wagner forces.

Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier described their actions as 'a knife in the back of our people', and residents of the Russian capital have been told to stay at home at this time.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has vowed to punish mercenaries involved in an apparent armed mutiny.

Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has called for a rebellion against the army, and while he has denied attempting a coup, it is understood the group has taken the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don near the Ukraine border.

Prigozhin accused the army of launching a deadly attack on his forces in Ukraine, where Wagner troops are fighting for Russia – which Moscow has denied.

Now, in recent hours, security in Russia has been tightened, with internet restricted and military trucks spotted on Moscow’s streets.

Wagner mercenaries have halted their advance on Moscow, after claiming to get within 200km of the Russian capital.

Leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has put out a voice note on his Telegram channel saying he has agreed to stop “to avoid bloodshed”, and it comes after talks between Prigozhin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, who is understood to have been involved in “de-escalating” the situation.

But, after President Putin’s televised statement, in which he described the day’s events as “a knife in the back of our people”, it is unclear what the future holds for Prigozhin and Wagner, who have been a key part of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

For one long June night and a day, Russia's notorious Wagner mercenary leader and key player in the Ukraine war, Yevgeny Prigozhin, staged an apparent insurrection. He sent an armoured convoy towards Moscow and raised questions about Vladimir Putin's grip on power.

The Russian president even accused his former ally of treason, embarking on an armed rebellion and "a stab in the back of our country".

But by the end of Saturday, Prigozhin had called the whole thing off and ordered his men back to base.

An attempted armed mutiny in Russia shows "real cracks" in President Vladimir Putin's authority, America's top diplomat Antony Blinken has said.

He told US media Saturday's rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner fighters was a "direct challenge" to Mr Putin, forcing him into an amnesty agreement.

The deal halted Wagner's march on Moscow. The mercenaries had earlier seized two major Russian cities.

Mr Putin accused the group of treason, but all charges were later dropped.
