The big picture: Ukraine's forces have made only gradual progress so far in attacking well-defended Russian positions in the south and east of Ukraine. Wagner mercenaries, meanwhile, took control of the major Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and seemed to face little resistance as they covered three-quarters of the roughly 600 miles from there to Moscow.
A center-left, anti-corruption candidate in Guatemala's presidential election defied expectations this weekend by claiming a spot in the runoff.
State of play: Bernardo Arévalo, a former diplomat and Congress member who ran with the social democratic party Movimiento Semilla, will face Sandra Torres, a centrist from the National Unity of Hope party, in the Aug. 20 runoff.
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared in a televised address on Monday that the organizers of a "rebellion" over the weekend would be "brought to justice," though he did not name Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin directly.
Why it matters: The Kremlin announced this weekend that Prigozhin would be allowed to go into exile in neighboring Belarus as part of a deal to end his push toward Moscow, but Putin's comments suggest the oligarch-turned-warlord could still be punished.
The Wagner Group's short-lived rebellion over the weekend was not intended to overthrow the Russian government, Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed in his first remarks since the uprising ended.
Driving the news: Prigozhin defended what he had called a "march of justice," saying it was intended to prevent the destruction of Wagner and protest against the way the war in Ukraine has been conducted, which he claimed to include a "huge number of mistakes."
Russia's Defense Ministry released a video Monday showing Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visiting a military command post involved in the war in Ukraine — the first time he's been seen since this weekend's uprising by the Wagner Group.
Why it matters: Wagner boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin publicly feuded with Shoigu for months, calling him a "weak grandfather" during this weekend's short-lived rebellion and demanding his removal.
Last week's climate finance summit in Paris went a considerable way — but perhaps not far enough — to quell demands from developing nations for more funding to help offset the costs of climate change, and the transition to clean energy.
Why it matters: Global climate talks are riven by persistent issues of fairness and trust, with industrialized countries so far failing to deliver on promised climate funds.
Driving the news: "My primary goal is to prevent a similar occurrence by making the necessary recommendations to enhance the safety of the maritime domain worldwide," said Capt. Jason Neubauer, the chief investigator, during a briefing.
