european convention of human rights of which the judgment was based. good evening. there are 40,000 police officers deployed across france tonight, ready to deal with a possible third night of protests and violence. the trouble started when police shot dead a 17—year—old boy in a suburb of paris on tuesday. the officer who shot the boy is facing an investigation for voluntary homicide. last night, 170 officers were injured in clashes and 180 people were arrested. president macron has appealed for calm, especially in those cities where clashes have taken place, including lille, lyon and toulouse. but the biggest trouble has been in paris and in the suburb of nanterre, where the teenager, named as nahel, was killed. there was more violence earlier today during a march led by nahel�*s mother.

the prospect of further rioting has led to the closure of the city's bus and tram services. our paris correspondent lucy williamson has the latest. in nanterre today, thousands gathered to mark the void left by one local teenager and the rage that flowed in to fill it. the violence here last night still mapped onto the surrounding streets in ash and debris. nahel�*s mother leading a chant of police assassins. evan came from a suburb on the other side of paris but the problems there were just the same, he said. translation: just the same, he said. tuna/mom- just the same, he said. translation: ~ ., �* ., ., ,, translation: we don't have “obs, we don't aet translation: we don't have “obs, we don-t get hired — translation: we don't have “obs, we don't get hired if — translation: we don't have “obs, we don't get hired if we * translation: we don't have “obs, we don't get hired if we don't _ translation: we don't have “obs, we don't get hired if we don't lie _ translation: we don't have jobs, we don't get hired if we don't lie on - don't get hired if we don't lie on our cv. there is nothing for us. we feel abandoned. and on top of that

dissatisfaction with life in france. yes, i mean there is anger at president macron and his government, there is anger at politics in general, but there's also a deep disappointment with the french state and the broken promises that people feel it makes to them and the government is worried that that deep disappointment might fuel a pattern of nightly riots. it's trying to curb the unrest in two different ways and it's walking something of a tight rope between them. on the one hand it wants to show that it understands the anger people feel towards the police actions that led towards the police actions that led to nahel's death. on the other hand it's taking an increasingly tough policing approach to violence on the streets and the atmosphere in nanterre today was pretty tense at times and i think there are many people here in paris tonight who are watching very carefully what tonight will bring. watching very carefully what tonight will brina. , ., , watching very carefully what tonight willbrinu. , . , ., watching very carefully what tonight willbrinu. , ._ ., _ will bring. lucy, many thanks, lucy williamson — will bring. lucy, many thanks, lucy williamson our _ will bring. lucy, many thanks, lucy williamson our correspondence - will bring. lucy, many thanks, lucy williamson our correspondence in l williamson our correspondence in

paris. the government's highly controversial plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda are unlawful, according to the court of appeal. the home secretary suella braverman claimed that the decision proved the system was "rigged against the british people". judges at the court of appeal ruled that rwanda had not provided enough safeguards to prove it was a "safe third country". the prime minister said he fundamentally disagreed with the ruling, and the government would ask the uk supreme court to review the decision. our home editor mark easton has the story. the government's controversial rwanda policy and asylum strategy have been dealt a significant blow today, with the appeal court concluding the east african country is not safe enough for the uk to send asylum seekers there. but the lord chiefjustice, lord burnett, announced it had been a split decision. he thought rwanda was safe, but his two colleagues did not. the deficiencies in the asylum system in rwanda are such that there are substantial grounds for believing that there is a real

risk that persons sent to rwanda will be returned to their home countries where they face persecution or other inhumane treatment, when in fact they have a good claim for asylum. in that sense, rwanda is not a safe third country. the government will be disappointed by today's majorityjudgement. a blow for the home secretary who has expressed her personal enthusiasm for getting flights to rwanda started as soon as possible. but that's not the end of the legal journey. the matter will almost certainly now move to the supreme court for a final hearing later this year. the prime minister could barely contain his anger, issuing a statement saying he fundamentally disagreed with the court's conclusion, insisting rwanda was safe, and that it was britain and its government who should decide who comes here, not criminal gangs. the home secretary, who recently visited migrant accommodation in rwanda, has confirmed the government does intend to appeal. but government lawyers will also be

working out whether having no safe country they can lawfully send migrants to means the controversial illegal migration bill is now fatally flawed. well, the system is rigged against the british people, it's as simple as that. that's why we're changing the laws through our illegal migration bill. that's why we are rolling out a ground—breaking partnership with rwanda, which we believe is lawful, with a country that we believe is safe. so we need to change the system, we need to change our laws. that's how we're going to stop the boats. the government believes the threat of being forcibly removed to east africa will deter people from crossing the channel and entering the uk illegally. however, the home office's own impact assessment says there's little or no evidence that it will work. and in the commons the labour party says there the rwanda policy should be abandoned. this rwanda scheme is unworkable, unethical, extortionately expensive and a costly and damaging distraction from the urgent practical action we should be taking from the plan labour has set out

to stop wasting all this money on a failing scheme. it's a year since a plane loaded with migrants and bound for rwanda sat on the runway of an raf base unable to leave after judges intervened. today's ruling means it will be months, if ever, before any similar flight is cleared for take—off. mark easton, bbc news. a secret police unit which spied on more than 1,000 political groups and trade union activists over a0 years, should have been disbanded as far back as the 1970s. that's the conclusion of a senior judge heading an inquiry into undercover policing. in his first interim report, sirjohn mitting says most of those people spied on were not a threat to state security, nor did they pose a risk of serious crime. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, has the story. london, 1968, and it was protests against the vietnam war which led

scotland yard to set up a new undercover police unit, the special demonstration squad, to gather intelligence on anti—war activists. they demonstrated - against discrimination... but by the 1970s, the sds had expanded, infiltrating dozens of groups, including the women's liberation movement and the anti—apartheid campaign. none of this was justified and the sds should have been disbanded early on, says the chair of the undercover policing inquiry. today, his words were quoted by those targeted. the question is whether or not the end justifies the means. i have come to the firm conclusion that for a unit of a police force, it did not! trade unionists in the construction industry lost their livelihoods. police information on them was shared, they ended up blacklisted and on the breadline. this is a national scandal.

this report that's come out today should be the final nail in the coffin of the metropolitan police. from the start, officers use the names of dead children as part of their cover stories and some had sexual relationships with those they were spying on, practices which went on for decades. mark kennedy, who was unmasked as a police spy in 2010, deceived a number of female activists. we are treated in such a way with such disdain that we all have police officers inserted into our lives, sleeping with us and notes and records kept on us. i feel that this is something in my head that should have been done by the stasi in east germany, not in our country. with the benefit of hindsight, there should have been more work in relation to reviewing the information that was being gathered and more care taken in relation to the groups that were being infiltrated.

the undercover policing inquiry will now examine the activities of the spy cops who infiltrated groups in the decades since the '60s and '70s. june kelly, bbc news. in russia, president putin has made further public appearances in what's being reported as an attempt to reassert control, following the attempted rebellion last week by the mercenary soldiers known as the wagner group. but there have been questions today over the whereabouts of sergei surovikin, a senior general who had previously supported the wagner group leader, yevgeny prigozhin, who has not been seen since saturday morning, when the coup attempt began. our russia editor steve rosenberg has the details. if you're the president and you faced mutiny, what you really want are public displays of adoration. "we are with you, we'll

support you," she says, at this moscow event. vladimir putin liked that. and look what happened last night. putin mobbed in dagestan in the south of russia. very un—putin like, this, getting up close and personal with people. good timing, though. a few days ago, it was the wagner mercenaries being cheered, including their leader, yevgeny prigozhin, as they ended their rebellion. state tv went into overdrive about putin. "even rock stars don't get this treatment," she says. this is a turbo—charged putin we are seeing suddenly. he's here, he's there, he's everywhere, trying to show he's super popular and in control. but, having survived this mutiny, russia's president faces another pressing task — trying to work out who he can trust.

can he trust this senior commander? general surovikin was head of russia's invasion force in ukraine. he is thought to have been close to mr prigozhin. he hasn't been seen in public since saturday, fuelling speculation he may be under suspicion. for many here, the mutiny has added to the atmosphere of uncertainty, as russia's war in ukraine grinds on. in reality, few russians are cheering about what's happening to russia. but some still have hope. when this story is finished, this way or the other way, then will be a new beginning. and it is necessary to be prepared. but would a new beginning be better or possibly worse? first it would be worse. and then, if we survive, it would be a window of opportunity. and it would be necessary to use it.

as for russia's immediate future, after the mutiny, that's unclear. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. the former first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon, says that she still worries about the country's level of resources, such as ppe equipment, to deal with the covid pandemic. giving evidence to the uk's covid inquiry, ms sturgeon highlighted what she said was a key difference between the approaches of the scottish and uk governments, saying her government tried to suppress the virus as much as possible, rather than deciding to live with it. our health editor hugh pym has more details. the chief medical officer and i will take questions shortly. scotland's first minister throughout the pandemic, nicola sturgeon, hosted frequent media briefings on the government's response. today she was taking questions at the uk public inquiry.

the pandemic may be over but for very many people, that suffering continues to this day and there is not a day that passes that i don't think about that. she acknowledged that pre—pandemic planning suffered because there was more focus on a possible no—deal brexit. we had no choice but to do that planning. i deeply regret any implications that had for our emergency planning in other areas. continuing on the brexit theme, she was interrupted by the inquiry counsel. every aspect of brexit has been false economy, if i can put it mildly, but that's another issue altogether. ms sturgeon, i'm so sorry, but that is a witness box, it's not a soapbox. we cannot allow the political debate of brexit to be ventilated here. after her evidence, representatives of bereaved families in scotland gave their reaction. they are not interested in the war that's taking place,

the turf wars that have taken place. they want to know did they follow the science or did they listen to westminster? were they in agreement and if they were in agreement, then does that mean they simply followed in the footsteps of boris johnson? nicola sturgeon will return with other ministers for the next phase of the inquiry in the autumn. that will focus on decisions before and during the lockdowns by the uk government and devolved administrations. hugh is here. that was really about resources in the past. tomorrow there will be focuses on resources in the future, in terms of staffing, notably in england. in terms of staffing, notably in encland. ., ., ., ,, england. the long-awaited nhs workforce plan _ england. the long-awaited nhs workforce plan will— england. the long-awaited nhs workforce plan will be _ england. the long-awaited nhsj workforce plan will be published tomorrow. it was first being talked about early last year but it will come out tomorrow. it is being billed as the most comprehensive of its kind with thousands more medical school places and nurse training places and for other health

to interfere with an official parliamentary inquiry into the conduct of borisjohnson when he was prime minister. nadine dorries, sirjacob rees—mogg and eight other supporters of mrjohnson are all criticised for trying to "lobby or intimidate" members of the committee which was investigating whether mrjohnson misled parliament over lockdown parties in downing street. the mps accused the committee of trying to shut down freedom of speech, as our political crrespondent ben wright reports. i think it makes kangaroo courts look respectable. they put out the case for the prosecution before they'd heard from the defence. boris johnson will be found guilty by this kangaroo court. there is no doubt about that. i think there is a culture of collusion, quite - frankly, involved here. views from three of the eight tory politicians named in today's report. all allies of borisjohnson, whose comments and tweets about a panel of mps that investigated the former prime minister have been slammed

by the same committee, which said the attacks were a coordinated campaign to interfere with their work, that had a significant personal impact on individual members and raised significant security concerns. i would again reiterate it is in this house's interest that we have such a committee. it is there to defend our rights and privileges and it is absolutely vital that members of this house are prepared to serve on such committees. labour said mps who had criticised the investigation had damaged the work of the commons. mr speaker, this undermines democracy, it undermines this house. we owe it to the members of the privileges committee to give them our support and, frankly, it's about time the prime minister showed up and showed some leadership. jacob rees—mogg, who had talked about a kangaroo court, was less chatty today. i shall be at the test match which i'm looking forward to. thank you so much. but another ally of boris johnson

did take a swing at the new report. ultimately i believe in a healthy democracy. mps must be free to speak their mind and it cannot be the case that rulings of a particular committee stifle their freedom to express their views. but that seems a very minority of you around here and the committee itself was emphatic. it said mps had no right to undermine an inquiry like this and called an attack on the procedures of the commons an attack on the legitimacy of parliament itself. politicians must tell the truth to parliament, that's the principle being enforced. the committee charged with doing so says more explicit protections are now needed as the aftershocks of borisjohnson�*s conduct continue to be felt. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. the bbc has gathered new evidence of the abuse and mistreatment of women in iran. many women continue to defy the strict morality laws, despite risking harsh punishment. last september, mass protests

were seen in the capital, tehran, and in other cities, following the death of 22—year—old mahsa amini in police custody. she had been accused of breaking the strict rules on how women should wear the hijab or headscarf. weeks of protests followed her death, resulting in a brutal government crackdown and the deaths of more than 530 people, according to an iranian human rights agency. women took to the streets, removing their hijabs and cutting their hair. iran's security forces portrayed the protests as riots instigated by foreign agencies. it is extremely difficult to obtain video from inside iran, the bbc�*s journalists are not allowed to work there. but a team in the uk has carefully studied and verified hundreds of videos posted on social media, showing the protests in detail.

our correspondent yalda hakim reports on what they found. in september 2022, the death of a young woman, mahsa amini, in police custody, triggered anti—government protests across iran. a family member wept at her graveside. translation: i swear to god that when she left home, - her clothes were so appropriate. she was dressed more appropriately than all of your daughters. the iranian authorities pledged to investigate mahsa's death. translation: women like freedom. they insisted that the protests were organised by foreign powers. a bbc documentary team has analysed over 100 hours of footage from those protests and verified 350 videos. translation: the killing of mahsa

happened, i was transformed - from an actress interested in women's rights into an activist. zahra amir ebrahimi was once a famous tv actor in iran. she is now an international movie star. and she has been gathering testimony on how the authorities responded in the early days of the uprising. translation: how are you, miss amir ebrahimi? translation: i'm fine, thanks. i'm very glad to meet you. nasrin had a teenage daughter called nika. an old video recording shows her singing with friends. laughter. translation: she was extremely adventurous and fearless. - i was always afraid that something would happen to her.

four days after mahsa amini died, nika was filmed setting fire to her headscarf. death to the dictator. translation: itold her that it is dangerous - and please come home. she finally said she would. i could hear other protesters shouting, the security forces. they never heard from her again. her death certificate stated she died from multiple injuries caused by the impact of a hard object. the regime denied wrongdoing and made inconsistent claims about her death. translation: i personally have a lot of respect for nika's _ bravery and free spirit. i believe that we are living in a specific point in history where such events are needed. in iran today, the mass street protests have died down, for now. but acts of defiance

continue on social media. a popular afrobeat song is being used as a song of solidarity. dancing like this can get you arrested, but they are still dancing. you can watch the full documentary, inside the iranian uprising, on bbc iplayer. yalda hakim, bbc news. some cricket news, and on the second day of the second ashes test at lords, england have been fighting back, bowling out australia for a16 in their first innings. in reply, england finished the day 278 for four, 138 runs behind australia. our correspondentjoe wilson was watching. a light in the gloom. andrew strauss on the day lord's, in red, remembers his late wife, ruth, and raises money forfamilies
