on food additives — will also set out their findings. they do look at these questions and set out recommendations for how much a person should consume. in fact, they already made a recommendation back in the 1980s. that was people should consume no more than a0 milligrams of aspartame per kilogram of body weight per day. on a quick back—of—an—envelope calculation, that limit would allow the average british woman at least 1a cans of leading diet soda every day. we won't know untiljuly 14th whether that recommendation will change. but today, the deputy chief scientific adviser for the food standards agency said aspartame is considered safe at current permitted use levels. there has been further violence in paris tonight and unrest in other cities across france, on a third night of protest sparked by the shooting — as you can see here, in a clip that has now received millions of views on social media — by police of a 17 year—old teenager during a traffic stop on tuesday.

40,000 police officers were deployed across the country this evening, but have failed to prevent outbreaks of violence in places stretching from lillie in the north to marseille on the south coast. french authorities are now braced for the possibility of further trouble this weekend. the officer who fired the fatal shot at the teenage driver, nahel m, has been charged with voluntary homocide and is under arrest. amina calash is a journalist based in the paris suburb of nanterre, where the shooting happened and where the violence started. thank you forjoining us, what is the mood in nanterre tonight? tonight it was quiet, maybe 30 minutes ago. but then it begins with a lot of mortar and smell of the burn. ., ., , , burn. tell me, the video has been viewed millions _ burn. tell me, the video has been viewed millions and _ burn. tell me, the video has been viewed millions and millions - burn. tell me, the video has been viewed millions and millions of. viewed millions and millions of times. that presumably has had an impact on the outbreaks of

"it's easy for you." i was like, "no, because

i know what's coming. "it's worse for me." but what's really nice about it is someone gets an injury or they've been ill for two days. the rest of the team will pick up their kilometres. so as a team, it was really amazing. goglia wilson's son also has dravet syndrome. she's now chair of a national charity supporting families. £240,000 has already been raised. it will help families across the uk affected by the syndrome. for more stories from across the uk, you're live with bbc news. the uk government's controversial policy to send asylum seekers to rwanda has been ruled, unlawful. judges at the court of appeal said that rwanda had not provided enough safeguards to prove that it's a "safe third country". the prime minister, rishi sunak, said he "fundamentally disagrees" with the ruling and said the government will challenge it in the supreme court. here's our home editor mark easton. 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. now to russia where president putin has made further public appearances — in what's being reported as an attempt to reassert control. it follows the attempted rebellion

last week by the mercenary soldiers known as the wagner group. but there've been questions over the whereabouts of sergei surovikin, a senior general who had previously supported the wagner group leader yevgeny prigozhin, who's not been seen since saturday morning, when the coup attempt began. 0ur 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. a secret police unit in the uk, which spied on more than a thousand political groups and trade union activists over a0 years — should have been disbanded as far back as the 1970s had

the public known about its activities. that's the conclusion of a seniorjudge heading the undercover policing inquiry. in his first interim report sirjohn mitting says most of those spied on didn't threaten state security or pose a risk of serious crime as our home affairs correspondentjune kelly reports the vietnam war — one of the defining episodes of the 1960s. protests outside the american embassy in london led scotland yard to set up an undercover police unit, the special demonstration squad, to gather information on anti—war activists. soon the sds had infiltrated scores of campaign groups. none of it 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. amongst those spied on in the �*70s were the women's liberation movement. anti—apartheid campaigners, including key figures like peter, now lord hain, who went on to become a labour cabinet minister. and trade unionists who 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 — today the force said the sds was set up at a time of political and social change, but it acknowledged that officers should not have used the identities of dead children as part of their cover stories or had sexual relationships with activists. 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. sir richard branson�*s virgin galactic has sent its first commerical flight into space from spaceport america in new mexico. this is the moment the rocket—powered plane, called unity, separated from its mothership — to soar into space before gliding back to earth about 75 minutes later. passengers experienced a few minutes of weightlessness and caught a glimpse of the curvature of the earth from more than 50 miles — or 80 kilometers — above sea level. the first paying customers are three members of the italian air force and national research council of italy, with a fourth seat occupied by a virgin galactic astronaut instructor. this was more of a scientific

research mission — the crew conducted 13 experiments, and collected data on their suits — and sensors in the cabin. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. at the moment, the weather seems to be changing quite a lot from one day to the next. on thursday, we were in cooler, fresher air with some sunshine, a few showers for northern parts of the uk. but on friday the weather's going to look and feel quite different. there'll be a lot of cloud heading our way. it's going to be bringing a bit of rain and drizzle and it will feel more humid as well. and we've seen that cloud beginning to push in on a westerly breeze coming in from the atlantic into western parts of the uk

and the cloud will continue to thicken, particularly on those weather fronts which will bring the rain in from the west. but we could start the day with some early sunshine across eastern scotland and eastern england. don't think it's going to last too long. the cloud continues to stream in on that westerly breeze and it's thick enough to give it a little light rain or drizzle here and there. perhaps things turning a bit wetter through the day in northern parts of northern ireland and into scotland as well. and those temperatures are going to struggle with that cloudy, muggy air, 18 degrees widely, perhaps a little bit higher than that in east anglia and the south east, but nothing special at all. we're going to find those weather fronts taking the thicker cloud and the rain and drizzle away in time for the weekend. and then around that area of low pressure, we've got the winds coming in from the west or northwest and it could be quite blustery through the weekend. strongest winds across northern areas. this is where we're going to find the showers. it'll be sunnier and a bit warmer further south where the winds won't be quite as strong for many. southern parts of the uk may well be a dry day on saturday, with sunny spells further north for northern ireland. also across northern england, southern scotland, more frequent showers in the north and west of the country where it

will be particularly windy and temperatures may be only reaching 16 degrees in glasgow, warm in the sunshine across the east midlands, east anglia and the south east. 2a degrees here. not too bad at all. second half of the weekend, not too many changes. still some stronger winds in the north. we've got showers, perhaps longer spells of rain in scotland, a few showers for northern ireland and northern england. but further south, better chance of staying dry again and those temperatures getting into the low 20s. so we've got a real difference north south over the weekend heading into next week. it's not a classic summer weather pattern because low pressure is going to be dominating that will bring some showers or longer spells of rain, particularly in the west.
