hello and welcome to bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. we start in france — where officials say nearly 1000 protesters were arrested in a fourth night of rioting after the police shooting of 17—year—old nahel m in a parisien suburb. overnight, the interior minister claimed that there had been a "downturn in violence". the unrest broke out in several cities — but notably in marseille, in the south of the country. video footage shows streets on fire, and shops — including a gun store — being attacked and looted by rioters. despite the deployment of 16,000 police officers across the country, the violence has continued — including in the capital, paris. further afield, french media reported riots breaking out in french caribbean territories — where one person was killed. the french football star and captain

of the national team, kylian mbappe, has called for calm, saying "violence solves nothing" and that it should be replaced with "mourning, dialogue and reconstruction". the police officer involved in the death of the teenager on tuesday has been charged with voluntary homocide. nahel�*s funeral will be held later in his hometown of nanterre, a suburb north—west of paris. the family have requested journalists and the public stay away. rajini vaidyanathan begins our coverage. across france, yet more rage. streets under siege, a dramatic outpouring of anger, after a 17—year—old, nahel, was killed by police during a traffic stop. many of the rioters are teenagers, out despite a plea from france's

president to parents to keep their children at home. as the protests have intensified, so too has the police presence. across the country from friday into saturday morning, more than 16,000 officers were deployed — and it's the police that's driving people onto the streets in the first place. many here accuse officers of discrimination, and even the un says france needs to address its deep—rooted issues of racism in the police force. chanting: justice for nahel! it's a concern crowds at this protest share. the country's foreign ministry says the un's claims are unfounded, but the french police have long been plagued by accusations of racism. many see this violence as a wake—up call, but for the government, containing it is a challenge.

what began with the death of nahel has now come to represent something bigger. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news. 0ur europe editor, katya adler, gave us this update from nanterre, where the funeral for 17—year—old nahel will take place later today. i'm in nanterre, an area outside paris where nahel, the 17—year—old unarmed boy shot and killed by a french policeman earlier this week at a traffic stop, lived and died. his funeral will be taking place in a few hours�* time. again last night it was a scene of destruction, you can see these burnt out cars behind me, fireworks were set off at the police overnight. it was a loud night and a loud morning because the authorities here are trying to clear up the mess ahead of the funeral. nahel�*s family have appealed for calm, and so has france's national football team.

they say it is tragic what happened here and that working class suburbs like this, where many people come from minority backgrounds, are suffering and have grievances, including, they allege, police brutality and daily discrimination. but, they say, this is not the way to deal with that. but these youths say they don't have a choice, this is the only way that they are getting their voices heard. the french president has not impose a state of emergency, but there are calls from the right and far right and some police unions in france to do exactly that. where is that the left and far left in the france have said he has not done enough to do with social problems in housing estates like this. he is under fire politically. 0n the streets of france he talks about getting the situation under control, and there is no sign of that right now. in is no sign of that right now. in terms of motivations, the conversation has moved on somewhat,

with allegations i think by mr macron himself saying that social media is playing a part now in inciting that violence. is there a indication as to how this is being coordinated, who is leading these protests? people are now saying it has moved on from the death of nahel and it is now more gratuitous. it and it is now more gratuitous. it has not moved on, if you like. if you talk to youths here, they will say, we face discrimination by police every day but nobody listens to us. when it is recorded, it is irrefutable evidence. what you have your about the killing of nahel is that originally, the police man shot him said that he felt his life and the life of his colleague was in danger from the life of his colleague was in dangerfrom nahel, but when the life of his colleague was in danger from nahel, but when you the life of his colleague was in dangerfrom nahel, but when you look at that radio editor clearly was not. i think that helped trigger the outrage in areas like this, just like when we saw the death of george

floyd in the united states a couple of years ago, where a white policeman put his foot on the neck of george floyd for nine minutes and he died. when you see things like was put on social media, it is a reminder to people who feel discriminated against, that they are right to feel outrage and they want to do something about it. as i say again, though, the rioters on the street are very young. a lot of people in this neighbourhood say they sympathise with the youngsters but violence is not their thing. it would be wrong to think that the entire neighbourhood here is saying go and burn things, that would be wrong. but the youth do say they want their voices heard. would you also see instances of looting across the country, and that clearly is a separate issue to those who say they are protesting in the name of nahel and others like him.

the unrest has flared in other areas too. 0ur correspondent sophia bettiza is in the northern city of lille in the with this update. i'm in the suburb which is one of the poorest— i'm in the suburb which is one of the poorest parts of france. overnight, the situation is still intense — overnight, the situation is still intense. about seven people were arrested _ intense. about seven people were arrested in — intense. about seven people were arrested in this area. there was a curfew_ arrested in this area. there was a curfew imposed in some neighbourhoods here over unaccompanied minors. because of course _ unaccompanied minors. because of course so _ unaccompanied minors. because of course so many of the people who had been ranting _ course so many of the people who had been ranting where a very young, some _ been ranting where a very young, some as — been ranting where a very young, some as young as 13. behind me you can see _ some as young as 13. behind me you can see what — some as young as 13. behind me you can see what remains of what used to be an— can see what remains of what used to be an office _ can see what remains of what used to be an office building, about 500 people — be an office building, about 500 people worked here. it was a really important — people worked here. it was a really important part of this community. some _ important part of this community. some protesters broke in and the middle _ some protesters broke in and the middle of— some protesters broke in and the middle of the night and set the whole — middle of the night and set the whole building on the fire. we can still see _ whole building on the fire. we can still see and smell the smoke.

bills have been rising and rising. finally they seem to be stabilising, but for millions of people it's still a struggle. yes, they're sort of stabilising which i guess is a relief in some sense... carly lives with her young son in a small flat in london. for a long time we've had the threat of them going up and up, we have had to live with this kind of increasing sort of stress and anxiety about how high our bills are going to go. so it is a relief that they are sort of stabilising, but they're still really high, they're still inaffordable, particularly with the cost of everything else going up. in 2019, the energy regulator, ofgem, introduced a price cap in england, scotland and wales to try to bring stability to the market. it's a maximum price that suppliers can charge consumers per unit of gas and electricity, and protects us all from paying over the odds. the cap is reviewed every three months to reflect wholesale prices. in april it was set at £3,280, so a typical household will pay no

more than that for their energy. but due to the government's energy price guarantee, those bills were actually capped at £2,500. now, from july, ofgem's cap has fallen to £2,074, so it means the average consumer will see their bills fall by around £426 per year. of course, if you use more energy, you will end up paying more. and those who pay by cash, cheque or bank transfer do end up paying slightly more. analysts predict that energy bills will stay around this level for some years to come. we think that unfortunately, prices are likely to stay higher until the end of this decade. that's because the competition for energy on the global stage is going to continue, and the challenges during the energy transition, as we use more local renewable power, that's something that is going to take time to implement. energy bills are still nearly double what they were in 2019, when the price cap first came in.

the charity, citizen's advice, says it helped 237,000 people with advice on their energy bills last year, more than any other cost—of—living topic. we know people are still really struggling at the moment. at citizen's advice we're helping nearly three people a minute with crisis support, and we are continuing to break really unwelcome records when it comes to helping people with energy debts. another charity, national energy action, says more than six million households are still in fuel poverty, meaning that after housing costs, they spend more than 10% of their income on energy. ofgem says it works hard to support vulnerable consumers and anybody struggling with their bills should seek advice from their supplier. mark ashdown, bbc news. to the united states — actors' union and majorfilm studios have agreed to keep working and continue talks until the 12th ofjuly in an effort

to prevent strike action. the unions — which includes top stars meryl streep and jennifer lawrence — want a new pay deal and safeguards around use of artificial intelligence. i've been speaking to the actor, jeff torres, about his position in all of this, as well as the issues and impact that al can have on actors. i mean, i stand up in support of all workers that are standing against companies that are making billions of dollars in profits and are refusing to kind of keep the pay for the people that are making them those profits equitable. so, the use of ai, that seems like something that is going to profit them greatly. it's going to be at the cost of ourjobs. they are no longer new media, which was how we negotiated with them to start with, which was a huge problem, because they're now billion dollar companies and we're still doing a deal where they're not paying us equitable residuals or residuals at all.

so yeah, i stand that we are willing to strike if we do not get the kind of demands that we're looking for. on the subject of ai, jeff, many people know, you know, we think about some some films, animated films that uses some impressive tech. but in terms of let's just say yourself, has ai been used where you could have been used as an actor? has it been used to reflect yourself? and to what extent is it used? is it pretty widespread within the industry? it has not started to kind of take hold yet. i don't think the technology is up to par yet to replace people. right now, the problem is that the way the ai is working is it's taking information and styles from artists that exists. so it might take a picture and say, this person does this style and this and it combines them, and essentially it's stealing. it's not like it's an intelligence that's creating its own art. it's stealing other people's style and art and creating something new. the technology is not there to replicate actors fully yet,

and that's why it's so important that we strike if we need to now, if we don't get the protections from al going forward because in three to five years it will replace us, replace background actors and stuff and a lot of other people. jeff, just very quickly on al, we've heard a lot about the issue of of regulation. i mean, is there some middle ground where you can be protected or is this exactly what you're calling for, where your image is copyrighted or your voice is copyrighted when ai is being used ? well, yeah, essentially it's to pay us for our image and our likeness. the problem that al presents, though, is that if they scan our face and our bodies and they say, cool, now we can kind of position you however we want. if your performance is not exactly what we wanted, we can change it. so suddenly now the consent of myself as an artist and as a labourer can

be kind of taken away. they want to do suddenly nudity in this scene. i never consented to that, perhaps, and any number of things. it's no longer my performance and they are using my image without my permission the way that it should be. and if they're using my image without compensating me, that's even worse. a new study by consumer group which has found many iced coffees from uk high street chains contain more sugar than a mars bar or a coke. the survery, which compared frappes and frappuccions from caffe nero, costa and starbucks, found the drinks had "exceptionally high" amounts of sugar, with some containing more than an adult�*s recommended daily dose. i am joined now by nutrionist helen money to tell us what impact what do those findings actually tell us about our health? i what do those findings actually tell us about our health?— us about our health? i think it's very interesting _ us about our health? i think it's very interesting and _ us about our health? i think it's very interesting and useful - us about our health? i think it's - very interesting and useful research that has been done. i think it

clearly shows that it is very easy for many people without realising to have more sugar in their diet that will support their well—being. hope will support their well-being. how bad is sugar— will support their well-being. how bad is sugar for _ will support their well—being. how bad is sugar for your? why does this matter? it bad is sugar for your? why does this matter? . , bad is sugar for your? why does this matter? ., , ., ., , ., matter? it matters for a number of reason. it matter? it matters for a number of reason- it is _ matter? it matters for a number of reason. it is not _ matter? it matters for a number of reason. it is not sugar _ matter? it matters for a number of reason. it is not sugar itself - matter? it matters for a number of reason. it is not sugar itself and i reason. it is not sugar itself and obviously we can have some sugar in our diet. it is when we have more than the recommended amount, a large amount in one go, especially the added sugar that we get in these sweet drinks. what happens, if we are looking at our health, first of all we can have more calories. when we drink other categories, it doesn't fill us up as much as solid food. therefore it is more likely that over the day we may consume more energy than we are expending, leading to a person becoming overweight, which can have health complications. it also raises blood

sugar, blood glucose levels. when you have a sugary drink, all that sugar goes into our blood at a very fast rate. while our blood sugar levels are high, it can cause inflammation around the body. the body regularly being inflamed can lead on to other conditions, such as chronic diseases. in lead on to other conditions, such as chronic diseases.— chronic diseases. in your opinion, is it down — chronic diseases. in your opinion, is it down to _ chronic diseases. in your opinion, is it down to the _ chronic diseases. in your opinion, is it down to the nhs? _ chronic diseases. in your opinion, is it down to the nhs? we - chronic diseases. in your opinion, is it down to the nhs? we know. chronic diseases. in your opinion, | is it down to the nhs? we know it chronic diseases. in your opinion, i is it down to the nhs? we know it is already over when trying to do so much. but when it comes to the nation present health, is that the nhs, the government? or really does come down to us? what can we do for ourselves? i come down to us? what can we do for ourselves? ~ come down to us? what can we do for ourselves? ,, ., ._ , come down to us? what can we do for ourselves? ,, . , ., ., ourselves? i think we always have to take responsibly _ ourselves? i think we always have to take responsibly for _ ourselves? i think we always have to take responsibly for ourselves, - ourselves? i think we always have to take responsibly for ourselves, but l take responsibly for ourselves, but i think it would be better to perhaps have more support from our environment. if we had more preventative measures in place, such as education in school around the implications of sugary drinks,

because the biggest problem is actually in teenagers. but also from government as well. we have recently seen the delay of the implementation of the policy on the high fat, sugar and salt. those issues have been withdrawn until 2025. as a consumer, it makes it harder for withdrawn until 2025. as a consumer, it makes it harderfor us. withdrawn until 2025. as a consumer, it makes it harder for us. obviously it makes it harder for us. obviously it is also our responsibility. but i think this is why this report, as well as many others, is useful. it just creates awareness. a little people might not realise how much sugar is in those iced coffees that they pick up. sugar is in those iced coffees that they pick up— sugar is in those iced coffees that the --icku. , , ., they pick up. many people are saying it's a coffee. — they pick up. many people are saying it's a coffee. a _ they pick up. many people are saying it's a coffee, a cow, _ they pick up. many people are saying it's a coffee, a cow, is _ they pick up. many people are saying it's a coffee, a cow, isjust _ they pick up. many people are saying it's a coffee, a cow, isjust a - it's a coffee, a cow, isjust a treat. you have touched on this that there is hidden sugar. there's also a matter about the types of sugar? these are the kind of sugars that

are added to these drinks, they are purely sugars that have been added, rather than being in the drink. i know the report references milk. that is lactose in milk. but we get carbohydrates and other things, outs, wheat, etc. but it releases and goes into our blood at a slower rate, so we don't get this high sugar level that this added sugar creates and that's where the concern is. i also didn't mention the impact on teeth as well.— is. i also didn't mention the impact on teeth as well. mouse differently. i think on teeth as well. mouse differently. i think that's — on teeth as well. mouse differently. i think that's one _ on teeth as well. mouse differently. i think that's one of _ on teeth as well. mouse differently. i think that's one of the _ on teeth as well. mouse differently. i think that's one of the most - i think that's one of the most obvious signs of sugar. most people are not aware of the silent killer it can be. a column byjeremy clarkson in the uk's sun newspaper, in which he wrote that the duchess of sussex should be paraded naked in the street, has had a complaint of sexism upheld by the press watchdog.

a record 25,000 people complained to the independent press standards organisation about the article. david sillito reports. jeremy clarkson's column from december of last year was all about how much he hated the duchess of sussex, and that he dreamt of seeing her "made to parade naked through the streets of every town in britain, while the crowds chant �*shame' and throw lumps of excrement at her." the article was soon deleted, with jeremy clarkson saying he was horrified to have caused so much hurt. the sun also said they regretted publishing the article, and six months on, the paper is now publishing a ruling from its regulator, ipso, that it breached the editorial code. will there be a fine for the sun? the remedy that the committee required is the publication of its upheld decision, to let not only the readers of the sun but also the wider public know about the reasons for the finding, and the sun

will be required to flag that on its front page. the complaint was not made by the duchess of sussex, but by the women's rights organisations, the wilde foundation and the fawcett society, who have welcomed the ruling. we're absolutely delighted about this victory for fawcett, for our members and supporters, and also for wilde foundation who also brought the complaint with us. this was a really egregious example, women have had to put up with this kind of hate for generation after generation. time is up, we are going to stand together and hold our press to account and say that it is not acceptable to perpetuate these kinds of hateful ideas any more. and while there is no comment from meghan and harry, it's understood they were happy for the complaint to go forward about an article prince harry described as "horrific, hurtful and cruel." david sillito, bbc news. exploring the dark side of the universe — now that may sound star wars.

but it's not science—fiction, it's reality. later on saturday, the european space agency will launch a telescope into space to try and solve some to explain more, here's our science editor rebecca morelle. stunning images of our cosmos but what we can see makes up a tiny fraction of what's really out there. the rest is known as the dark universe. we can't see it and scientists don't really know what it is. now a new mission is about to try and shed light on this mystery. it's just like trying to set off on a ship before people knew where land was in different directions, now we're just trying to map out the universe and try and understand where we fit into it and how we've got here and how the whole universe has got from the point of the big bang to what we have now. the european agency's spacecraft is called euclid and it will be making a vast 3d map of the cosmos. it's trying to understand phenomena called dark energy and dark matter.

so, what is dark matter? galaxies like our own milky way are held together by gravity. the force comes from everything that's in them — the stars, the planets, the dust. the thing is, all of this material doesn't provide enough gravity to stop these great spirals from flying apart. there's something else there, a cosmic glue that we can't see that adds the extra gravity to bind them together, and that's dark matter. scientists think dark matter makes up about 25% of the universe. the material we can see, regular matter, accounts for only 5%. they believe the other 70% is dark energy. what's dark energy? since the big bang, the universe has been expanding with galaxies moving ever further apart. scientists had thought that over

time this would slow down, but actually, this expansion is speeding up and it's thought that a mysterious force, dark energy, is driving this. it could enormously influence the fate of our universe. how far is it going to expand? is it going to go forever and accelerate and just get bigger and bigger and bigger more rapidly? is it going to just rip apart? or will it perhaps collapse back down again? and understanding that fifth force, if that's what dark energy is, will help us understand, you know, not only where we came from, but where we're going in this universe. it will take the spacecraft six years to do complete its map of the sky but scientists say the wait will be worth it. what it discovers could mean fundamental changes to our understanding of the universe. we are going to end on a lovely story concerning a frog. a research team from argentina has tracked down the extremely

rare santa fe frog — hoping to learn how it reproduces, in an attempt to save it from extinction. they discovered how the frog —— with its characteristic leopard print —— hides in caves, emerging only to call for a mate. hello, after what looks to be probably the warmestjune on record, july is starting off on a bit of a cooler, more unsettled and out. it is going to be a beacon of blustery showers, particularly in the north. some sunshine around too, more so at the further south you are. the bulk of the rain now clearing to the east. there will also be some showers blowing in on this north—westerly wind. the bulk of the showers will be in northern ireland, north wales, and particularly for

scotland in the north and west. more sunshine further south, lifting temperatures in the warm spots. further north, we are looking at the high teens. the ashes continue today at lord's, we have had a lot of cloud around there so far this morning, but tending to brighten up now. i notice were westerly breeze. notable showers fade away for most of us, there will be more heavy rain across the likes of caithness, and an the northern isles as well. a bit of a fresh start on sunday, but more sunshine from the word go compared to today. the winds rotating around an area of low pressure bringing as another day of sunshine and showers for sunday. like today, the showers most frequent across northern scotland and northern ireland. fewer

showers in england, mostly dry. 14 to 22 degrees. temperatures probably down a notch compared to day. there it into money, not a lot of change, winds coming in from the north—west, low pressure setting out towards scandinavia. staying dry is longest i think towards the east. the 14—to 2 degrees. a very unsettled outlook through much of the week ahead. sunny spells, scattered showers, perhaps of one drier the as we head towards the end of this week. bye—bye.
