this is bbc news, the headlines: the traditional may day celebrations in france turned to violence as the police in paris fired tear gas at demonstrators rallying across the french capital. these are the live pictures where the police say more than 60 people have been arrested. nurses in england say they are holding their biggest strike yet. they say it is their biggest walk so far. first the public has become the third us bank to collapse in a matter of months and will be bought byjp morgan chase —— first republic

bank. now we have the sport and a full round—up. we will begin with the women's champions league. a crowd of more than 60,000 is expected at the emirates for arsenal against wolfsburg. a record attendance for a women's club match in the uk is expected and kick off is a few hours away. kt is there for us and this feels like a big moment, not least for the crowd they are expecting? fix, like a big moment, not least for the crowd they are expecting? a massive occasion, crowd they are expecting? a massive occasion. not — crowd they are expecting? a massive occasion, notjust _ crowd they are expecting? a massive occasion, not just for _ crowd they are expecting? a massive occasion, not just for arsenal - crowd they are expecting? a massive occasion, not just for arsenal but - occasion, not just for arsenal but for women's occasion, notjust for arsenal but for women's football and they have an expected crowd of 60,000 for this game which would be a record for a match in this country in the domestic game, and the great news is

that arsenal are still in the game, they fought back from 2—0 down to leave with a 2— to draw which is impressive when you think about the injuries they have had, losing the likes of leah williamson and kim little, and already having lost the likes of beth mead. big players who would have started this game. they will try to draw on the crowd and if they need inspiration they can look at the dugout because kelly smith is now part of the coaching setup and she is one of those immortalised on this mural behind me at the emirates which has the 2007 champions league winning team. his current team would love to emulate history but a first what they have got to get past wolfsburg. what they have got to get past wolfsburg-_ what they have got to get past wolfsburg. what they have got to get past wolfsburu. ~ ., , , ., ., wolfsburg. wolfsburg have got the better head-to-head _ wolfsburg. wolfsburg have got the better head-to-head record - wolfsburg. wolfsburg have got the better head-to-head record and i wolfsburg. wolfsburg have got the i better head-to-head record and they better head—to—head record and they looked in control of the first leg before they let the lead slip. what have arsenal got to be most careful

three points would lift either side out of the relegation zone. leicester are one point above everton and a draw would take them out of the relegation zone. dean smith says the magnitude of the game is not lost on the leicester players. what you can do is make clear a plan of what we are trying to do and how we are trying to do it. i think if you do that you can go in pretty calm and relaxed but having that fire to go and win football games which is the most important thing. luca brecel is three frames away from winning a first snooker world champ chip title, leading 15—10 against mark selby. the penultimate session saw luca brecel hit three century breaks. mark selby did fight

back briefly after the interval but luca brecel continuing his outstanding play taking the lead into the final session which gets going later. that is all the sport for now. studio: thanks forjoining us. back to the top story and the protests in france. we are focusing very much on paris even though they are happening all across the country. in paris it is where the protests have turned a bit violent, and we sort right police are charging at protesters, firing water cannon and also tear gas. we are getting reports from some people on the ground, unconfirmed reports, that some protesters have been throwing molotov cocktails at police. that is unverified. somebody who is in the french capital gave me that a bit of potential information.

the protests are very much focused on pension reform, and you will know that has been a key issue that has been dogging the french government especially macron. he has wanted for a while now to raise the retirement age from 62 up to 64 in france and that has come up against a lot of unhappiness from all different sides of the political spectrum. it is a very unpopular move and today is may day, and traditionally a day, a workers day, it is also called, by people in many countries, especially in europe but also china and other countries, and people celebrate the work. it is a bank holiday, as it is in the uk, but this demonstration has turned quite nasty at times between riot police and protesters.

these are the live pictures coming into us now. earlier i spoke to a journalist in paris and currently near where the clashes are in she described the general feeling. —— and she described. the described the general feeling. -- and she described.— described the general feeling. -- and she described. the police were attacked with _ and she described. the police were attacked with molotov _ and she described. the police were attacked with molotov cocktails, i and she described. the police were l attacked with molotov cocktails, and even though the police are heavy—handed right now, they can feel discombobulated at people setting fire to them, literally, so it is not the majority of the demonstrations, that is well worth saying. the marchers, a traditional march every may day, it has existed for decades, but there is also a general feeling for decades, but there is also a generalfeeling of for decades, but there is also a general feeling of annoyance and from the peaceful protesters, a feeling that the violence of some groups is almostjustified which is

a bad situation to be in and which comes from the exasperation that the country feels, the fact they are not listened to. the demonstrations in paris are to some extent not the most representative of what is going on, and for many protesters in its more and mid—size towns, —— in small and mid—size towns, all around the country, and sometimes we have got one quarter of the inhabitants of the 40,000 inhabitants city and these people are out in the streets and this shows how deep the feeling of injustice, possibly because macron did not explain very well because the reform is not a radical reform at all. but still this is the cumulative impression of six years

of president macron in power and thatis of president macron in power and that is the rejection that is being expressed. that is the re'ection that is being exressed. ., that is the re'ection that is being expressed.— expressed. you think this is a re'ection expressed. you think this is a rejection of — expressed. you think this is a rejection of president - expressed. you think this is a rejection of president macron| expressed. you think this is a i rejection of president macron as a person and a president as well as his policies, so is it more personal than political in some circumstances? i than political in some circumstances? ~ ., , , circumstances? i think it absolutely started political— circumstances? i think it absolutely started political and _ circumstances? i think it absolutely started political and it _ circumstances? i think it absolutely started political and it is _ circumstances? i think it absolutely started political and it is the - circumstances? i think it absolutely started political and it is the way i started political and it is the way his policies have been described but it has become personal largely because he himself has made it personal. he has been in the face of people every time he had something to sell and the way he was selling whatever reform he wanted to make, it was, i am doing things, and he has it was, iam doing things, and he has an it was, i am doing things, and he has an official photographer at the elysee palace, and she keeps on taking those pictures of him in which he looks like somebody in an advert, depending on what he wants to express, and you have to

remember, when he was younger, he wanted to become an actor and because he had staged himself so much, he has made it incredibly personal, so the reaction is equally personal, so the reaction is equally personal and he has also been very clumsy about the things he has said and people have not forgotten them. for instance, he was talking about bringing pepper back into the french economy and he said, if you stand in this place and see the people outside and you have got people who go somewhere and you have got people with nothing —— pep. you can't say that people are nothing. there's a amongst politicians, that if the position they have got has disappeared, then you recycle them, and so what you are seeing is six years of accumulated frustration. irate years of accumulated frustration. we can now move on.

russia has launched another wave of missiles at ukrainian cities in the early hours of the morning — the second pre—dawn attack in three days. the ukrainian military said most of the missiles were intercepted by air defence systems, including over the capital, kyiv. earlier there was another missile attack on the city of pavlohrad, in the eastern dnipro region. russian military commentators said that the targets were warehouses storing military equipment for a ukrainian counter—offensive. local authorities say 34 civilians have been injured. the ukraine energy ministry says the attacks have resulted in thousands of people being left without power in parts of two regions to the east of the country. i spoke to a man who is part of the foreign—policy group, a think tank specialising in foreign policy and international security issues and he gave me his thoughts on the latest wave of attacks.

basically, we have a couple of trends, the attacks are much smaller than the ones russia undertook at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. basically, we are speaking about 50% drop in the number of used missiles and air drones so we see that russia has already used a lot of its munitions and as of now attacks come on a smaller scale. the second important issue is that ukrainian anti—air defence became much more qualitative and efficient. we are speaking about 80—85% of missiles being shot down by our forces. the third point, although the russian ministerial defence mentioned their main targets were munitions depots, basically some of the hits are several kilometres from the nearest

military object, so still we see the continuation of russian policy of intimidation of the civil population of ukrainian citizens. fewer weapons and depleted munitions, does this mean that russia is more targeted in the way that they are targeting ukraine? yes, i believe so, but as i mentioned, some of the targets of the russian missiles are several kilometres away from the nearest ukrainian military object so basically even being depleted with munitions and having fewer rockets to produce and use, russia is continuing with a full—scale tactical intimidation and disseminating fear amongst the population. but i should also mention that as of now i do not see on the ground in kyiv any signs that these fearsome tactics are working

on ukrainian civilians. the ukraine is finishing plans for a long awaited offensive against russian forces? definitely so. that is one of the most interesting parts of the russian tactics because many of my colleagues, especially military russian rocket units to target the infrastructure near the front line but we still see the previous tactics being used which is a strange situation especially for our generals and high command. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. residents at this care home in harrogate are certainly impressed with their colourful new addition. are you proud of them? really proud.

bella and maisie created their own interpretation of the king's coronation and so did 42 other students at st aidan's school. that is really nice with the flowers and the different colours. the art projects are a collaboration between young and old and it's all part of the build—up to the coronation and it is feeling special to everyone involved. the silhouettes of the king on canvas will be a permanent feature and a reminder of an important moment in british history. does it look good? yes, it does. with their new creations on display, and the new friendships they have formed, the residents of the care home are ready to witness history again. you are alive with bbc news. —— live.

the troubled us bank first republic collapsed this morning and was immediately subjected to a takeover offer from jp morgan chase according to america's banking regulator. the californian bank is the third american lender to fail this year. here's our business correspondent marc ashdown. investors and customers have been deserting first republic bank. in two months its shares have tanked from $147 each to just $3.50 and $100 billion of deposits have been withdrawn. when confidence goes, money tends to follow. the us banking regulator has broken a multibillion—dollar rescue deal. the investment banking giantjp morgan chase will take on all 84 branches and all deposits will be guaranteed by the us government. if you were a first republic depositor, you can breathe a big sigh of relief today. if you are under 250,000, the us guarantee level, you didn't have to worry anyway. but if you had more than $250,000 in deposit, as of now, you have that deposit with jp morgan chase, the largest

bank in america. first republic was known for having a big mortgage lending business and a large stable of wealthy clients. as interest rates soared, it was forced to borrow at higher rates and were seen as vulnerable. it is the third mid—sized us bank to collapse this year following the failure of silicon valley bank and new york—based signature bank. there have been fears this is the start of another financial crisis. if we look back at 2008, it started with one bank, northern rock, but quickly spread to lots of others. the issue was weak rules around mortgage lending and pretty much every bank was exposed. since 2008, the rules around lending have been tightened and banks have to have more money in reserve to ride out difficult periods. so the hope now is this can be contained to a few banks and this is the end of recent turmoil. if this had happened a month ago, i think there would have been substantial concerns about basically contagion, the concept of one bank is going to cause another bank to fail and runs on banks. the marketplace has settled down

a good bit over the last month. at least one more interest rate rise is predicted in the us and uk. smaller banks could face more strain. how relaxed the market is over this rescue deal will become clear in the next few hours. marc ashdown, bbc news. let's turn to the situation in afghanistan. the head of the un, antonio guterres, is meeting international envoys to explore ways to engage with the taliban rulers in afghanistan. the two—day gathering in the qatari capital, doha, will focus on issues such as the rights of afghan women and girls. the taliban have not been invited to the meeting. ahead of the talks, a small group of women staged a protest in kabul on saturday opposing any international recognition of the taliban—run administration.

i spoke to the former head of afghanistan's independent human rights commission and she told me what she hopes will come out of this meeting. the meeting does not include any afghan women and what we want to see coming out of the meeting is further international cohesion on how to move forward with the taliban. and hopefully further pressure on the taliban especially for the restrictions they have imposed on women. they recently decided to ban women from working with the un and restrict access to humanitarian aid for millions of people, so the hope is that in this gathering of a couple of days where we have representatives of many countries, that they will come up with clarity and cohesion on how to move forward to increase pressure on the taliban and not any discussion of recognition. what option do you think the people in afghanistan have, especially the women, given that they do not have a voice on the

international stage here? this has been one of the issues that has been criticised by women's groups inside and outside afghanistan. women inside afghanistan have lost all civic space. as soon as they go onto the streets and organise protests at home, they are detained, they are being tortured, and outside afghanistan women's rights are also excluded from gatherings, like this one happening in doha right now. so there's a fear that the voices of afghan women will be excluded from the decisions made about afghanistan and engagement with the taliban. that is why women have written an open letter to the un secretary—general and to others in doha with very clear demands about the bans

and restrictions and pushing the taliban for a full admission of women in society but there has been more anxiety because just a few weeks earlier there was a discussion where there was a reference about potentially discussing small baby steps towards recognition and this sent shock waves through women. what kind of impact would it have if the taliban were recognised without making the concessions, the basic concessions, that you are talking about? it will basically seal off the gender apartheid they are implementing right now because afghan women are banned from going to parks and going to work and going to university. girls are banned from going to school. it is full on apartheid on the basis of gender. it will give recognition and basicallyjustify what the taliban have

been trying to justify but this also has implications for women round the world. this is a reminder of how fragile women's rights are and it will empower regimes across the world to further shrink the rights and liberties of women. people across the country are being encouraged to not only celebrate the coronation of king charles at bars and restaurants, but also by organising coronation big lunches with friends and neighbours. 0n the menu might be coronation quiche, the official dish for the big day. however, celebrity chefs have also whipped up four other recipes for the celebrations. they include a roast rack of lamb and a strawberry trifle with a twist. fiona lamdin has been finding out. in the royal kitchen it's all about coronation quiche right now. seven decades after coronation chicken was created for queen elizabeth,

her son has opted for this savoury tart which is bursting with spinach and broad beans. this has been baked before and cooled so that when we put the filling in it's not going to get soggy. and for some top tips, we headed to this bakery in central london. how much cheese? two handfuls of that. 0nly halfway, because when you transfer it to the oven, you don't want to tilt it. 0therwise, what's going to happen? all the egg mix is going to come over and then the quiche is going to stick to the bottom of the pan and make it soggy. do you think quiche is a good choice for a coronation? i think it's a really good choice. i think it's a really good portable food. it sort of heralds spring — it's got all these sort of green vegetables, it's herby, it's got a good mix of things. yeah, i'm excited to try it. but for the ultimate coronation feast, there's so much more than just quiche on the menu. we discovered all sorts of dishes being prepared in one of london's most prestigious hotels. and nine floors down in their basement, these are the kitchens. they are vast and they've got 120 chefs. so we're going tojust brown the rack like this.

sizzling you hear that sizzling? so it has a bit of colour. his asian—style roast rack of lamb has been chosen by the palace for people to serve at their street party. there's nothing better in this country than british lamb. so i thought i would do a british lamb with a mixture of east and west flavours, which is a great reflection about where this country has come since the last coronation. food in this country is so exciting now. why? because you've embraced flavours from all over the world. embracing the world. cheers to our new king. so that's the main course sorted. what about pudding? chef adam handling's strawberry and ginger trifle is next. there's nothing more british than a beautiful strawberry trifle. and i think it always has a memory with all of us. so i'm doing a take on it,

but using pretty much all parts of the uk in this one iconic little dish. as a trifle that was pathetic. get in there! i love big spoons, so i can get everything. ican see! well, we've decided to bring adam's trifle on a bit of a taste test. and who better to ask than the women of the wi? all right. digging right down to the bottom here. all keen wi members, elaine has invited herfriendsjeannie and sylvie to the tasting party. the truffle is really rich. i love it. i love the flavours, i like the textures. would quite like a little bit of alcohol in the bottom. well, luckily, sylvie has added a bit to hers. it's squelchy. it's rich. it's very provocative, actually. there's a little bit of alcohol in it. and jeanie's had a go at the coronation quiche. mmaking it, very straightforward, very simple. follow the instructions to the letter. i haven't tasted it yet, though.

the tasting is the thing that matters, isn't it, really? will you be making this on coronation day? absolutely. if it's good enough for the king, it's good enough for me. so, all sorts of ideas for a coronation feast fit for a king. that looks so yummy. i cannot wait to try some of those different recipes. a video of a man doing the "worm" during a performance by british singer—songwriter rita 0ra has gone viral. the worm is throwing yourself on the floor, jiggling about, and then throwing yourself on the floor again. this was the most watched video on the bbc website with millions interested in this. rita 0ra was performing her song praising you at a prince's trust charity event in new york

when 57—year—old australian man ian smith decided to show off his dance moves. rita 0ra then shared the video. i need you in my life. what? find this man! well, he was found and indentified as ian smith — a lobbyist and south australia's honorary uk consul — who for his part, described it as a "different kind of diplomacy." indeed. now we have the weather forecast. it has been pleasant enough in the sunshine. there are some thundery downpours around which will carry on the unsettled theme, especially over southern and eastern parts of england and wales and parts of kent have had their wettest march and april in 90 years. but some parts of the north—west have had rain fall below the average and temperatures during the day below the average once again as we started may with

some cold arctic air spilling southwards. any showers will fade away as we go through the evening and overnight, clear skies in the north leading to a frost and the south, it is more likely we will have mist and fog feeling in the gaps and fog around the irish sea coast, so maybe a bit on the dull and murky side as we begin tuesday morning, and maybe the odd spot of drizzle but generally it will brighten up and we have sunshine already in the north and bright for most. generally light winds, and it will not be as mild as monday because we have introduced the chilly air so especially near the north sea coast, 9—10, and a bit of rain creeping in from the west, but that will not stop the pollen levels from being higher. across northern ireland, and wales and central and western parts of england during the day on tuesday. we have some rain in northern ireland towards the south west of scotland and elsewhere further south, west of scotland and elsewhere furthersouth, it

west of scotland and elsewhere further south, it is set to be cold as we head towards wednesday morning. clearest —— clearer skies and this means a chance of more sunshine once the mist and murk clears way but there is a weakening weather front in northern and western parts of scotland so a bit milder here but we have lost the sunshine. generally it will be quite a bit of cloud mulling around and thatis a bit of cloud mulling around and that is set to be the case for the rest of the week. looks unsettled with low pressure to the west and the weather fronts will be thrown up and away with spells of rain and temperatures should at least lift a little back towards normal but as you can see, it is a fairly showery looking picture for the first week of may. as ever, more on the website.
