we begin with a stunning reversal of the rebellion and russia. wagner fighters, led by getting a rousing send off of a wild 24-hour march on moscow. it began when he announced that man had taken over headquarters and rostov, and it has leading a so-called justice march towards moscow. fighting was reported along the way, and wagner forces got stopped to yell its before moscow. you called off the rebellion and agreed to leave russia. russian residents getting a heroes sendoff. russian officials said he agreed to travel to belarus. a lot of questions about what happened, and what comes next. analysts now chalk it up to a murky power struggle. i don t think it was a stunt. i think it was a mutiny. i think that s the right word. not a coup d état, a fight among armed forces to take over, but to be loyal to putin with dramatic consequences for undermining stability and the consolidation of russian armed forces. questions still remain about the future in exile. i suspect h
damage to some of the players on the pitch. that may be the case too in other high impact sports like american football. my sports like american football. my guesss today are steve thompson and his wife steph. he is a former england rugby international who won the world cup in 2003. he has recently learned that he has early onset dementia. seemingly linked to years of high impact collisions. what happens when the game simply isn t worth it? steve a nd steve and steph thompson, welcome to hardtalk. if i may, i want to begin with that moment when you were diagnosed. an elite former sportsman, rugby player, told that you had early onset dementia. for both of you, i imagine, that was an extraordinary moment. steve, what was your feeling at that time. , , ., time. er, belief, i must admit, at first. time. er, belief, i must admit, at first so time. er, belief, i must admit, at first. so many time. er, belief, i must admit, at first. so many things - time. er, belief, i must ad
i think that putin, at this, point these to have some sort of peace so that this didn t spiral out of control but i would imagine at some point with prigozhin just over and belarus, believers in a country that is alive with russia in many ways, the fight in ukraine, i don t know how prigozhin makes it overtime without feeling some sort of brought a retaliation. i would note that both putin and prigozhin come from the roots of st. petersburg after the fall the soviet union. that s how they met up together. prigozhin has worked in done a lot of the dirty work for russia for at least the last two decades on behalf of vladimir putin. that extends quite a way beyond what s going on in ukraine. prigozhin and the wagner group to a lot of operations in africa. prigozhin operates the patriot media group that generates propaganda stations, and

looking at all the breakthroughs, you can get a pretty good snapshot, and what you see is that basically, the protection against mild illness is starting to go down a bit. that kind of predicts it overtime, the protection against more severe illness might also start to weigh, and that s what we are trying to do here is get ahead of that. think of this as you are running a race, we ve been doing that with this virus, chasing after it, the vaccines came along, we had a chance to get well ahead, but then the delta variant came along in the virus started catching up, so now we need another sort of supercharged boost here to get as well ahead, of what otherwise might happen. we re always tried to be a little bit ahead of this virus so that people don t run into a really serious illness, that s what we re trying to do. so doctor collins, why eight months, how is that number chosen, is it a hard and fast rule? i spoke to doctor celine gounder on the show and she didn t seem to understand wh
