Top 10 world news: UK court finds government's plan of sending migrants Rwanda unlawful, and more

A Wall Street Journal report quoting Western officials has revealed that Wagner Chief Prigozhin's plan to stage a coup in Russia failed because his original plan about the rebellion got leaked and he had to improvise and launch the revolt prematurely, resulting in the epic failure. Meanwhile, France has braced itself for more violent protests on Wednesday following the killing of a 17-year-old teen by a police official. The teen was shot in the chest during a traffic stop. In another development following failed armed mutiny in Russia, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko recently claimed that he had requested Russian leader Putin to not "wipe out" Wagner chief Prigozhin, which led to the agreement between Kremlin and Wagner chief that ended what looked like a civil war-like situation in the country.
