french police fired tear gas at climate protestors in the french capital paris outside french oil giant total energies general assembly meeting. hundreds of protesters gathered outside as they tried to stop the event from happening. images on social media show totalenergies shareholders and activists arguing before the event. the meeting started an hour ago, as shareholders have to vote on a motion in regards to the company's carbon emission. they plan to allocate a third of its investment to low carbon sources and reach 100 gigawatts of renewable by the 2030. but france's energy transmission minister has urged the company speed things up. but obligations are that it provides... it has come under fire for a pipeline project that activists say

is threatened ecosystem. live now to manon aubry, a french european mp for the leftist party france unbowed, joining me now from paris. you joining me now from paris. were at that protest toi explain you were at that protest today. just explain what was going on and why it was important for you to attend. it was important for you to attend. it was important for you to attend. it was important because there was a young activist there to call upon the shareholders and tell them very clearly you shouldn't sacrifice our future. and when we were trying to engage with some of the total shareholders, it is not only me with a member of parliament they have been insulting, but they have been insulting democracy, insulting the planet because you have recorded

that total is one of the biggest energy companies in the world. we need to be in line with the paris agreement and not destroy the planet, and they are forcibly displacing more than hundred thousand people in tanzania and uganda. and all have thatjust tanzania and uganda. and all have that just to tanzania and uganda. and all have thatjust to make profits at the price of lives on the planet, this is an outdated model.— price of lives on the planet, this is an outdated model. given what you are tellin: is an outdated model. given what you are telling me. _ is an outdated model. given what you are telling me. i _ is an outdated model. given what you are telling me, i feel— is an outdated model. given what you are telling me, i feel i _ is an outdated model. given what you are telling me, i feel i probably - are telling me, ifeel i probably know the answer to the next question i will ask you but as i said, we just had the outcome of that shareholder vote. they have rejected that resolution, urging speedier cuts to their greenhouse gas emission project. but they have supported their own plan that is much more modest in its scope, being

approved with 88% of their vote. so they say their way is the best way. yes, and it shows how much they have not understood the scope of the problem and that is why we cannot rely on shareholders to try to save the planet. we need regulation. this is why we are fighting at the moment in the european parliament, there will be a vote next thursday on legislation to hold legally accountable companies when they violate human rights and destroy the planet. and what we know is that total very discreetly are doing very active lobbying to try to vote that legislation down and it is very representative of how total has become a problem from an ecological and also our democratic perspective.

i call upon the european parliament and state to take up their responsibilities and make sure they take the necessary action starting from ending fossil fuels. take the necessary action starting from ending fossilfuels. you take the necessary action starting from ending fossil fuels.- from ending fossil fuels. you talk about share _ from ending fossil fuels. you talk about share holders _ from ending fossil fuels. you talk about share holders not - from ending fossil fuels. you talk about share holders not being - about share holders not being accountable. you had a pretty heated exchange with one of them outside of that meeting this morning. let's look at the video, and tell us a bit about it. i look at the video, and tell us a bit about it. . , , look at the video, and tell us a bit about it. ., , m look at the video, and tell us a bit about it. .,, , w , about it. i was 'ust acting very calml . about it. i was 'ust acting very calmly. i — about it. i was 'ust acting very calmly. i was — about it. i wasjust acting very calmly. i was asking _ about it. i wasjust acting very calmly. i was asking them - about it. i wasjust acting very l calmly. i was asking them what action are you going to take? and are you going to face down fossil fuels? are you going to get total to stop lobbying against legislation a european level? and they were very aggressive. 0ne european level? and they were very aggressive. one of them told me i am aggressive. one of them told me i am a piece up... i have been elected, i

have a democratic mandate. so i have been —— it has been very heated but it shows that the level of complete exclusion of shareholders in the sense that they don't seem to live in the same world as you and me. and it shows to the rest of the world that, they were telling me, i'm not sure of the translation, telling me in french that i am... but interrupt me if it is not the case. i in french that i am... but interrupt me if it is not the case.— me if it is not the case. i was auoin me if it is not the case. i was going to _ me if it is not the case. i was going to say. _ me if it is not the case. i was going to say. it _ me if it is not the case. i was going to say, it is _ me if it is not the case. i was going to say, it is fascinating j me if it is not the case. i was i going to say, it is fascinating to hear from you on this and we know that things get pretty heated. we should just apologise for some of that language because we can't use that language because we can't use that word on the television. it is really good to hear from you. but

that is what _ really good to hear from you. emit that is what has been said to me and it is not the language i am using. absolutely, we understand that and i know you are just recounting what was told to you outside of that meeting. thank you for being with us and bringing us up—to—date with what was happening there. just to reiterate, those total shareholders rejecting the proposal by climate activists to reduce greenhouse gas emissions more quickly than their internal plan. they are backed one which presents much more modest cuts instead. we will bring you the latest but that was the scene live earlier in paris. here in the uk — there are concerns retailers are taking advantage of inflation to raise prices even further — so—called �*greedflation'. the boss of supermarket giant sainsbury�*s — simon roberts — has been speaking exclusively to the bbc. he has dismissed accusations they are �*profiteering' from soaring food prices. and he told our correspondent

emma simpson that the industry is working as hard as it can to keep prices down for shoppers. the soaring cost of food — politicians are now trying to get to the bottom of it, households are feeling it. so what is going on in the supermarket aisles? the cost of energy, the cost of labour, the cost of producing our food is all having an impact on rising food prices. but some of those costs are coming down — there's a mismatch going on. and that's the encouraging news — we're starting to see some of the costs come down, we all want to see them come down more quickly. and so seeing energy costs start to come down is really helpful. we're seeing some commodity costs the same, and that's why we've seen products like milk and butter and bread start to come down, too. and we'd expect to see more of that over the weeks and months ahead as more of the costs of producing our food start to go up less quickly. of course, other costs, like labour — they've gone up forever — and those costs are now locked in to the price of producing and selling food. and that's what's happening. are you profiteering?

absolutely not. 0ur margins last year were the lowest we've seen for a long time. we made less profit year on year, and that's because we made really conscious decisions to keep our prices as low as we possibly could. we've tried to absorb as much of the inflation as possible, so we're not passing it all on to our customers. honestly, it's quite disappointing to see that criticism because the whole industry is working as hard as possible — millions of colleagues across the food industry — to try to keep prices down because we know that customers are really concerned about it. that's what we have to do. but it's fair to ask whether a retailer like sainsbury�*s — that still made £926 million in underlying profit — could absorb a bit more of the financial pain to help shoppers in this crisis. 0ur number—one priority is to give the best value we possibly can to our customers. that's why we've been bringing

prices in key areas of our offer down as much as we can. more and more shoppers are after the cheapest food. sainsbury�*s is now revamping its budget offer to make it easier to find. this is the first of the products that are out this week. is this enough? we've always got to keep doing more. you bet — supermarkets are under increasing pressure now to pass on any savings as quickly as they can. emma simpson, bbc news. to update you on following events related to phone hacking. british actor hugh grant has been given permission to sue the publisher of the sun newspaper for using unlawful information—gathering techniques. the 62—year—old is bringing legal action claiming he was targeted byjournalists and private investigators against the news group newspapers in relation to the sun only, having previously settled a claim with the publisher in 2012 relating

to the news of the world. the publisher denies the claims. it's the stuff of science fiction films, but electronic brain implants took a step closer today. an experimental company — called neuralink — founded by elon musk, says it has won clearance from us regulators to carry out its first clinical study on a human. it's working on brain implants to treat conditions such as paralysis and blindness, and to help some disabled people communicate with computers. jonathan ives, professor of empirical bioethics at bristol university told us a bit more about the ethics that need to be considered when dealing with this new technology. the technology we are talking about here is something that can interact with the brain, read it in some way, and then communicate with other devices to effectively act on a person's will.

when we are talking about potential enhancement we are looking at things far in the future, and i would be much more concerned now to get the ethics of the research correct. it is fair to say that if we are looking to test this technology on humans for the first time, which is apparently what there was approval for now, we need to first be confident there is going to be some potential benefit. and i think that is the case, if this technology is safe and effective, it could potentially benefit many people. but i think we have to make sure that is done safely and what we need is to ensure there is effective and robust processes of consent and i think it is really possible, potentially, for quite desperate and vulnerable people to be exploited in this setting. so we need to really ensure that doesn't happen and that the testing is safe and rigorous.

an engineering chief at twitter says he is leaving the company a day after the launch of ron desantis�* us presidential campaign on the platform was hit with technical glitches. foad dabiri tweeted: "after almost four his resignation comes following the launch of ron desantis�* entry into the race for the white house was hit by problems as a twitter livestream malfunctioned. breaking news. this relates to a damages claim brought by more than 170 people. they say they were affected by hormone pregnancy test drugs have been brought to an end by a high courtjudge.the drugs, including primodos, were given

to women to test if they were pregnant from the 1950s until the late 1970s and are alleged to have been responsible for serious birth defects. that claim has been thrown out. they were attempting to sue for damage to their babies that they was alleged was caused by the drugs. they say they have carefully considered the details, thejudge, saying that they do not find the position has materially change in the claimant's favour. the families have been claiming that the pill will be used to determine whether people were pregnant, whether women were pregnant, whether women were pregnant in the 60s and 70s caused miscarriages, stillbirths deformities. many women were prescribed the drug by their gps but thejudge prescribed the drug by their gps but the judge threw out the appeal. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some of the stories making news here in the uk.

a man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and criminal damage after a car crashed into the downing street gates. officers say the incident isn't being treated as terrorism. no—one was injured. an 11—year—old boy is in a critical condition in hospital after being hit by a police van responding to an emergency call in lancaster last night. the marked vehicle is believed to have had its lights and sirens on. scotland's chief constable said the force was institutionally racist and discriminatory. the scottish police federation which represents officers said the police had been deeply offended and that the job had been made more difficult by the chief constable's comics. he has stressed he did not mean individual officers and staff were racist or sexist. more on those stories on the

website. you're live with bbc news. voters in turkey go back to the polls on sunday in a presidential run—off between authoritarian leader, recep tayyip erdogan, and his main rival, the secular opposition leader kemal kilicdaroglu. the president was ahead in the first round with 49.5% of the vote, confounding analysts and pollsters. also erdogan is the front runner now, hoping to extend his 20—year rule, despite an economic crisis and rampant inflation. so why are his supporters sticking with him? let us unpick this with an assistant professor at university of gaziantep. what are you expecting to happen on sunday? we will get into some detail in a moment but it was pretty tight for the first round. at the second round change much? i for the first round. at the second round change much?— for the first round. at the second round change much? i don't think so, i think the results _ round change much? i don't think so, i think the results were _ round change much? i don't think so, i think the results were obvious. - i think the results were obvious. you can see that erdogan gained

especially after changing the governing system in 2017 erdogan positioned himself as a performer, maker and executive and he always came to the public with his mega project. such as investments made in turkish electric vehicles, the bridge on the bosporus, the new airport in istanbul, the power plant and so on. so all of these mega

project are rating his image of a very powerful serving leader in the eyes of his electoral base. we very powerful serving leader in the eyes of his electoral base.- eyes of his electoral base. we are lookin: at eyes of his electoral base. we are looking at pictures _ eyes of his electoral base. we are looking at pictures now. - eyes of his electoral base. we are looking at pictures now. these . looking at pictures now. these pictures from istanbul, from the opposition leader holding a rally. this is kemal kilicdaroglu in istanbul. and ijust wondered, the nationalist candidate who came third in the first round of the election, he has formally endorsed erdogan, the current president. i wonder what that changes in terms of the dynamic of this vote. i that changes in terms of the dynamic of this vote. ., that changes in terms of the dynamic of this vote-— of this vote. i think his voters would follow _ of this vote. i think his voters would follow him _ of this vote. i think his voters would follow him totally. - of this vote. i think his voters would follow him totally. so i of this vote. i think his voters i would follow him totally. so he can't carry all his voters from one candidate, it is not possible, but still it will make some impact and it will make an impact in favour of erdogan, of course. because erdogan needs as moral rate of about and

skies. temperature is about 16 to 20 degrees. we could see 22 celsius in that west country this afternoon. through tonight their patchy cloud we had in the central areas, wales will tend to melt away. more cloud to come across a final twist of scotland with weather fronts brushing on here. 0vernight temperatures down to about seven or eight celsius. but that takes us into the start of the bank holiday weekend. more cloud on saturday across scotland, some spots of rain in the far north—west. elsewhere, patchy cloud building up but for the most part it is going to be sony, temperatures could be a little bit higher, 22, maybe 23 celsius across england and wales on saturday afternoon. by sunday this area of high pressure means a win comes in from the north—east so we could see something a bit cooler across scotland and down the eastern side of england, especially north—east. temperatures here will be lower on sunday but again there will be

varying amounts of cloud, lengthy spells of sunshine and where you get this sunshine across many parts of england and wales up through the high teens, the lower 20s. it could be chillier in the far north—east. going into next week this area of high pressure if anything moves it's way further eastward, centred across the uk as we go through next week which is half term for many others. it means the weather is looking very settled. look at that, lots of sunshine. you don't often see that in our weather chart! temperature is could write a little bit, packed into the mid 20s were some of us as we go through next week. that is all from me. goodbye.

today at one: a bbc investigation has found health inspectors almost shut down an entire maternity unit over safety fears. the william harvey hospital in kent is run by one of england's biggest nhs trusts. but inspectors found significant problems over hygiene and staffing. it's quite clear from this report that, that external help and scrutiny, even with all of that, there are still really, really serious problems. and these are problems that have been known about for such a long time. we'll have the very latest. also on the programme... two people are dead and 15 others injured after a russian missile strike on a medical clinic in eastern ukraine.
