hello. the french president, emmanuael macron, is en route to paris for a second government emergency meeting — after three nights of protests following the killing of a 17—year—old boy, by a police officer in the parisian suburb of nanterre. nearly 700 people have now been arrested across france. the teenager, named as nahel m, was shot during a traffic stop. the policeman has been charged with voluntary homicide. he'sreported to have apologised to the teenager's family. his lawyer said... on thursday a peaceful vigil and march led by his mother in nanterre ended in unrest. despite a night—time curfew imposed in some areas, violent demonstrations continued into the early hours of friday morning, with running battles between protestors and police. the scenes were repeated

in other french cities — including lille, marseille, toulouse and montpellier. the unrest even spread to neighbouring belgium — where 15 people were arrested. overnight, 40,000 extra police officers were deployed across france in an attempt to restore calm and deal with further violence. firefighters in paris reported being overwhelmed with calls as a result of the ongoing unrest. 0ur correspondent in paris, sofia bettiza, gave us the latest. the atmosphere here in paris is extremely tense today. for the third time in a row, there have been violent protest here in nanterre, which is the area where a teenager called nahel was shot dead by a police officer. now, last night, protestors clashed with the police. according to the news agency afp, they used handmade grenades. the police responded with tear gas. there has been an escalation in the violence. we saw looting across france. you can see that behind me in this gas station. the windows are smashed,

the security cameras have been destroyed, and there is a tobacco shop right across the street that has been destroyed, most things inside it were stolen. the owner said that she saw hundreds of people come in in the middle of the night and was terrified. now, this is notjust happening in suburbs of paris like nanterre, it is happening across france. nearly 700 people have been arrested overnight, a lot of them are under 18. the french president, emmanuel macron, is going to hold a crisis meeting in a few hours. he has already deployed 40,000 extra police officers to deal with the unrest. some parts of paris have imposed curfews. and of course we know that the police officer who shot nahel has now apologised to his mother, has been arrested and has been charged of manslaughter, but despite all of this, there is still a lot of anger

here in france at the police and there is a sense that the protests will continue and the government does not yet have the situation under control. the violence has been fuelled by long—standing distrust between ethnic minority neighbourhoods and the french police. speaking to the bbc, thierry clair, the deputy secretary general of one of the country's main police unions dismissed claims the police had a problem with racism. translation: no, the french police are not racist. _ there can be some behaviour which is on the borderline and some officers have been sanctioned, sometimes sacked for such acts, but it is something that is marginal, like it happens in any corporation or institution. but the national police is not racist. our colleagues are from diverse origins, some of us are married to partners from a different religion or background and we cannot

say today that the police as a whole is racist. that would be a fallacy to say so. actor kevin spacey has arrived for the second day of his trial at london's southwark crown court. the prosecution is opening its case against the hollywood actor who's accused of sexual offences against four men between 2001 and 2013 — opening statements will begin today. the 63—year—old denies all 12 charges against him — including sexual assault and indecent assault. live now to southwark crown court and our correspondent, matt graveling is there with the latest updates on this. we are hearing some of the opening comments made in court. what has been said? we comments made in court. what has been said? ~ ., ., ., comments made in court. what has been said?— comments made in court. what has been said? ~ ., ., ., ., ., been said? we have got a team of the bbc in the court _ been said? we have got a team of the bbc in the court in _ been said? we have got a team of the bbc in the court in courtroom - been said? we have got a team of the bbc in the court in courtroom number| bbc in the court in courtroom number one where kevin spacey is currently

such. we are hearing from who are speaking on the behalf of prosecution, it was around 8am this morning when the actor turned up here at southwark crown court. he turned up so early that the doors won't even open. he has had to wait a couple of hours before going into court one where he is going to be standing accused of these 12 charges of sexual offences. let's hit a little bit which has been coming from us behind me what has been said in court. the prosecution has described mr spacey as a sexual belly. they have told the jury that he is a man who sexually assault other men and does not respect personal boundaries, receives the light in making others uncomfortable and powerless. thejury had been

told to stay grounded and focus on the evidence. mr spacey does deny all tiles offences. there is one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. mr spacey is unconditional bail, he has a home here in south london so he is expected to stay here for about a month because that is how long the jury month because that is how long the jury has been told that this will continue while they hear things from the witnesses that have been called to southwark crown court. it is also important to say that he does tenuously deny all charges against him and his legal representative was speaking in westminster magistrates�* court and said that his client denies all criminality in this case

and mr spacey has returned to the uk to establish his innocence and hopefully then move on with his life. ~ ., ., ., ., ., , life. we do also have a team inside the court. life. we do also have a team inside the court- if _ life. we do also have a team inside the court. if you _ life. we do also have a team inside the court. if you want _ life. we do also have a team inside the court. if you want to _ life. we do also have a team inside the court. if you want to follow - the court. if you want to follow their reporting, then do so on our website. the russian foreign minister has said moscow will emerge from the aftermath of a recent armed insurrection "stronger" than before. sergei lavrov has been speaking at a briefing in moscow, covering a range of topics. here�*s a little of what he had to say. translation: can you give any assertion that russia _ will not be subverted? you know, we are not obliged to anyone to explain these. we act transparently and the president has spoken to all the political forces in the country about it. if you have any doubt about that in the west, that�*s your problem,

but we have very serious doubts about the adequacy of many western leaders who publicly say yes, we as heads of government, know that our population is suffering, but we have to do this in the interests of the ukrainian population. does that actually correspond to their national interest? i don�*t know. russia has always been stronger and stronger and it will be the same this time and we can already feel that this process is under way. and indeed, many western analysts have confirmed that. the russian minister sergei lavrov talking about instability in russia.

hundreds of thousands of new doctors, nurses and healthcare staff, could be trained over the next 15 years as part of a scheme to boost the nhs workforce in england. proposals in the long—awaited "nhs workforce plan", published later today, outline a big boost in medical school places, alongside more apprentice training posts, including a small number to start as apprentice doctors. with more on this our reporter, smitha mundasad is in the newsroom. this is a very ambitious 15 year plan to tackle a huge problem in the nhs that has been a problem for a long time and that is the workforce crisis. there is about 110,000 vacancies in the nhs and about 50% of doctors and nurses that work in the nhs at the moment come from other countries to help boost that workforce but even so, these vacancies persist and they add to waiting lists and patient care. this

plan is a 2.4 billion plan overfive years but the plan is the last 15 years but the plan is the last 15 years to help change that and it has got three ways of doing it. one way is to increase training numbers of doctors nurses, physios, lots of different people in the nhs. one is to retain the people and an nhs right now because that is a huge problem, about 40,000 nurses left the nhs alone last year. and to reform how they are training people. there is a suggestion of more offend to ships —— apprenticeships, this proposal will suggest bringing an apprenticeship doctors who were to earn and learn at the same time. the idea is to bring in even more people he would find it attractive to work within the nhs. let�*s go into a bit of detail. when it comes to training, they say by the next decade, by 2031, they will double the numbers of medical school places

to 15,000 a year. they will also increase the gp training places by 50% by 2031 and they are going to do a similarthing, 50% by 2031 and they are going to do a similar thing, almost double the numbers of nursing by 2031. when it comes to apprenticeships, they will increase them across the board will stop nhs roles, they will bring an apprenticeship doctors who will earn and learn on thejob apprenticeship doctors who will earn and learn on the job and they say that by the end of their training, they will be of the same standard as people who are training right now. they have another idea, they are consulting on this. the idea is to decrease medical school training, it is currently five years or more and they are thinking about changing it to four years. we could potentially see doctors in the world who have been trained for one year less in the years to come. there are lots of questions about this. they are trying to retain staff, we do not have the details. we will hear more

on the details at around midday today. how are they going to retain more staff? they are talking about improving working conditions, flexible working and making it more easy for people to get senior working places in the nhs. there are still a lot of questions. you mentioned _ still a lot of questions. you mentioned 110,000 - still a lot of questions. you mentioned 110,000 vacancies. there's mentioned 110,000 vacancies. there�*s about a 1.2 million full—time equivalent staff in nhs trusts in england but that 110,000 is still a significant number. how have we got to a position where so many vacancies are left unfilled? it is as a result of a pandemic or is this long—term? as a result of a pandemic or is this long-term?— long-term? this is a longer term trend. successive _ long-term? this is a longer term trend. successive governments l long-term? this is a longer term . trend. successive governments have said it is really hard to play for the ageing, growing population and five, ten years ahead of time to know how many doctors and nurses are needed. fora know how many doctors and nurses are needed. for a long time, people said what we need is a long—term plan

that looks beyond five years and put in place doctors and nurses for an ageing and growing population. but critics say we do not have a social care workforce plan to go along this but that is crucial. they also say, if the working conditions within the nhs and the pay, of course there are lots of strikes going on, if the pay doesn�*t improve and working conditions don�*t improve, are we just training people to get burnt out? and also, where are the senior doctors to train all of these new trainees? we don�*t know, there are still training —— details to come. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. to the eye, homelessness certainly seems common in bristol. this is a problem way beyond what you can see on the city�*s street. one of the biggest reasons is drug and alcohol addiction. some 11,000 people are dependent

on one or both in the city. so in one of bristol�*s oldest streets, a new idea was launched today to involve charities, hospitals, prisons and the council, all focusing on finding and keeping homes are vulnerable people. trying to recover when you haven�*t got somewhere safe to live is like trying to drive a car without a steering wheel. you can�*t say on track, on the path. we can do better. i think we can do better in terms of making sure we have interventions that meet the needs of people that come to us, rather than having templates saying if you don�*t fit this, you can�*t have treatment. and we just need to make sure that we don�*t keep doing the same thing expecting a different result. you�*re live with bbc news. a uk government minister who was accused of being part of a campaign to undermine an inquiry into boris johnson has resigned. lord goldsmith quit accusing

prime minister rishi sunak of being "simply uninterested" in climate issues. goldsmith was named as one of eight parliamentarians said to have put "improper pressure" on the investigation. it was examining whether mrjohnson misled mps about parties at downing street during the covid pandemic. live now to our political correspondent, helen catt. just talk to us about exactly what lord goldsmith has had to say? he was lord goldsmith has had to say? he: was the international environment minister and he has been strong a voice on environmental issues for many years. his resignation letter has made some pretty extraordinary criticisms of the government record on it but also of the rishi sunak, the prime minister. in his letter, he sets out some of the things the government has achieved over the last four years but he says that the uk has now visibly stepped off the

world stage and have withdrawn our leadership on climate and nature. he accused the government of apathy in the face of the greatest challenge we have faith which he says made his role untenable and he pinned that apathy to rishi sunak personally. he said it is not that the government is hostile to the environment, it is that you, our prime minister is simply uninterested. that has trickled down whitehall and this comes a few days after the government watchdog committee on climate change said that the uk had lost its status as a world leader on climate issues. but the timing of this is really interesting because as you set out there, lord goldsmith yesterday was the only serving government minister to have been criticised by that parliamentary committee for what he said about its work in looking at borisjohnson.

the bbc understands that lord goldsmith was asked to apologise but has resigned so there is that as well. it is clear that he is very concerned on environmental issues. that issue of the timing of choosing to do that now, this morning, just a day after he was criticised so heavily in that committee report and also embarrassingly for mr sena, not 24 hours after his spokesman said that the prime minister had full confidence in him —— missed sooner. labour has accused rishi sunak of weakness. saying that it was laid bare as he refuses, this is a double pronged attack on rishi sunak as an individual but also on his policies? it is taking aim at both of those. the opposition has seized on this to

use that rishi sunak is weak, not just labour but liberal democrats as well. the liberal democrat mp who defeated zac goldsmith said that rishi sunak should have had the guts to sack zac goldsmith yesterday. she says rishi sunak is clearly too weak to control his own party. there are indicators that this resignation has taken downing street by surprise. this is what we call a exchange of letters, the resignation letter and a response from the prime minister but we haven�*t seen one of those yet which does suggest that downing street haven�*t realised this was coming. if street haven't realised this was cominu. :, street haven't realised this was cominu. ., . ., street haven't realised this was comin. ., . ., ., street haven't realised this was cominu. :, : :, :, , coming. if that exchange of letters does come. _ coming. if that exchange of letters does come. we — coming. if that exchange of letters does come, we will _ coming. if that exchange of letters does come, we will bring - coming. if that exchange of letters does come, we will bring it - coming. if that exchange of letters does come, we will bring it to - coming. if that exchange of letters does come, we will bring it to you | does come, we will bring it to you here on bbc news. the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene and the second victim was

taken to hospital where he too was pronounced dead. third victim believes to be 28 was also located at an address in the archway area having suffered a stab win and he remained at a law of london hospital. his condition has not thought to be life—threatening. police believe a large number of people were present. negotiators from the international monetary fund have agreed a $3 billion bailout loan for pakistan to help alleviate its economic crisis. it has to be approved by the imf board though, and it will also allow pakistan to approach other lenders for additionalfunds. the country has had to increase taxes, energy prices and interest rates to satisfy negotiators — and inflation is now running at a record 38%. and a short while ago we spoke to our pakistan correspondent, caroline davies who gave us the details. this is really a very final last—minute deal that is being done. now, the imf and pakistan have been trying to negotiate to release the final tranche of a previous deal, and that was due to expire

today, so this is the final hour that they could really have announced this. we heard some positive noises earlier in the week but this is the first announcement we�*ve heard, and as you point out, it still needs to go through the executive board, but the analysts i�*ve spoken to think there are currently no red flags that would stop that from happening probably sometime next month. now, in terms of exactly what�*s being agreed, this is a nine—month deal, this nine—month loan that the money will be distributed over the course of, and that means that that will take pakistan from where it is now into early next year, and the importance of that is that there�*s meant to be a general election happening in pakistan sometime in the autumn, expected to be in october, so this will mean that pakistan is able to continue through the end of this particular government, a caretaker government, and then into the election, and the next government after that is likely to have to negotiate a new deal altogether. now, the reason this is all so important is that pakistan has really been on an economic precipice for the course of the last few months and that is because it has really struggled to be able to get enough money to be

able to continue to pay for its import bill, all the goods that it needs to bring into the country, and crucially things like fuel and oil and gas to be able to keep the energy system here functioning as well. so this is the news that many have been waiting and hoping for, but as you point out, there are also going to continue to be some economic pains as well. it�*s expectations there will be rising energy prices, we have seen interest rate rises too and a lot of that is also quite politically painful for the government to have to enact just before it is about to go into an election. in the united states, a former police officer who failed to confront a man, who killed 17 people at a school in florida — 5 years ago — has been cleared of wrongdoing. scot peterson had faced 11 charges,

including child neglect — after the shooting at the �*marjory stoneman douglas high school�* in parkland. the jury heard that, despite arriving at the scene shortly after the gunman had opened fire, mr peterson had chosen to wait for backup rather than intervene. he�*s thought to be the first us law enforcement officer to stand trial in relation to conduct during a school shooting. the court of appeal ruled that the policy was unlawful. a bbc investigation has found tiktok is not removing many videos that deny the existence of man—made climate change — despite a promise in april, that it would do so. the social media giant announced it was updating its misinformation policy, to target any content,

that undermined well—established scientific consensus, about global warming. bbc verify 5 marco silva has the story. there is no climate change in the manner in which they speak. wake up, guys. global warming isn't real. it's all about control. climate change misinformation is all over social media. and last april, tiktok said they would start removing it. but are they? on tiktok, it�*s arguably particularly bad because of the way tiktok as a platform works. anyone can post anything and it has the potential to reach thousands or even millions of views. that�*s rosh. he�*s known for debunking viral videos that make false claims about climate change. i do that by basically comparing the claims being made to scientific literature and exposing where they go wrong. bad arguments can spread really fast. we thought we�*d check if tiktok were actually removing these videos and living up to their promise. so we reported 365 climate—denying videos. but after a day, almost 95% of them were still there. and make no mistake,

these posts are getting attention. they racked up almost 30 million views. that building over there, that�*s tiktok�*s uk headquarters right here at the heart of london. i asked the company for an interview, but it declined. instead, it sent us a statement. tiktok says... it also said it�*s working with fact checkers and that people searching for content about climate change on tiktok are being shown a link to authoritative information. but why is any of this important? we know that there is a very rapidly closing window for us to deal with the problem of climate change, and what it requires is really good faith, public debate. that doesn�*t mean people can�*t have concerns or grievances or disagreements, but ultimately we need to be sharing the same reality.

and at the moment, the pollution of the information landscape is making that impossible. there are plenty more stories on our website. hello. a completely different day out there compared with yesterday. not as much sunshine around, grey skies as well. and that sets us up for, well, quite a grey and damp day with some light rain or drizzle around, especially in the west. further east, though, and then certainly into the weekend, much more sunshine and further, there�*ll be a few showers around and a strengthening breeze. today�*s cloudy skies, you can see they�*ve been pushing in off the atlantic during the last few hours, quite extensively across the country at the moment. and that cloud is lowering and lowering across these western areas. and that will make for a fairly misty scene outside, across parts of the coast and the hills rain, a drizzle coming and going in that developing breeze, although some eastern areas will stay dry throughout.

bit of sunshine at times, maybe in shetland and for all. even though temperatures down and what we�*ve seen through recent days, it is going to be quite a humid day as those humidity levels rise throughout and that will lead into quite a muggy night. lots of mist and low cloud around, light rain of drizzle coming and going again. but there will be some breaks in the cloud out towards the west later on. temperatures, though, not dropping much from what we�*ve seen by day, still hovering in the mid if not high teens for many as we start saturday morning. so we go into the start of the weekend on a fairly muggy and humid note, but things will gradually change. we�*ll see more in the way of sunshine break through and it�*ll turn fresher. there�*ll be scattered showers, those the most frequent across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, further south, early showers and not many will see them, will gradually fade away. a lot more sunshine through the afternoon and many here will stay dry, as i said, a fresherfeel. and that�*s because we�*ve got a stronger breeze coming in from the west later on that could touch gale force

across the north west of scotland. and that will always make it feel cooler in these areas. but further south and east, temperatures up on what we�*ve seen today. but out in the sunshine and in that breeze, it will feel a little bit cooler. now the fresh air continues to take hold even more through saturday night into sunday, got north westerly wind around this area of low pressure, which will bring some longer spells of rain across orkney, shetland and maybe the north of the mainland at times. areas close to that area of low pressure, northern half of the country, showers will come and go. some of those heavy and thundery. further south, lighter showers, fewer showers, some staying dry. probably best the sunshine will be in the morning. good touch gale force across some northern areas of the country on sunday. that will make it feel a little on the cool side. but for many temperatures close to if not a little bit below average for the time of year. and that�*s how it�*s looking. take care.
