welcome to bbc news. hello, i'm chris rogers. we start in france, where officials say more than 1,300 300 protesters were arrested in a fourth night of rioting — after the police shooting of 17—year—old nahel m, in a parisien suburb. 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 — 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 police officer involved in the death of the teenager on tuesday, has been charged with �*voluntary homocide�*. nahel�*s funeral will be held in the next few hours, just outside of paris.

we have this 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. live now to sebastian roche, a political science professor at the university of grenoble. he specializes in police tactics in france — both in response to riots and in instances of lethal killings by police. i think, firstly, it is important to

point out, sebastien, this is not the first time that concern about police tactics, brutality, and racism has been piloted in france. absolutely. there has been a concern for many years about the increase in the number of legal shootings. they have been multiplied by a factor of 5-6 have been multiplied by a factor of 5—6 since a new piece of legislation in 2017, over five years ago. on top of that, there is of course the issue of racial discrimination by the french police. which is not acknowledged by the government, or the highest authorities. find acknowledged by the government, or the highest authorities.— the highest authorities. and why do ou think the highest authorities. and why do you think that _ the highest authorities. and why do you think that is? _ the highest authorities. and why do you think that is? what _ the highest authorities. and why do you think that is? what is _ the highest authorities. and why do you think that is? what is the - the highest authorities. and why do you think that is? what is the issue | you think that is? what is the issue for france and, let's face it, other countries, as well? like the united states, the united kingdom, in dealing with racism in a police force and racial profiling. there is

racial discrimination _ force and racial profiling. there is racial discrimination in _ force and racial profiling. there is racial discrimination in france - force and racial profiling. there is| racial discrimination in france like in the uk and us. in france, 0fficially, it does not exist. the government reveals any accusation of systemic racism. therefore, the french government is not open to any solution. there is no problem, according to them, so why should they be concerned with finding a solution. this is why we are stuck in france with this systemic problem, and we don't see, let's say, a brighter horizon. the world is watching _ say, a brighter horizon. the world is watching france _ say, a brighter horizon. the world is watching france right _ say, a brighter horizon. the world is watching france right now, - say, a brighter horizon. the world - is watching france right now, 45,000 is watching france right now, 115,000 police officers on the streets overnight, more than 1300 people arrested in riots that have been

beamed all over the world. dealing that this could be turning point, is emmanuel macron going to want an investigation, may be an independent investigation, may be an independent investigation, and looking at remedies. i investigation, and looking at remedies-— remedies. i am hoping so. nevertheless, _ remedies. i am hoping so. nevertheless, there - remedies. i am hoping so. nevertheless, there is - remedies. i am hoping so. nevertheless, there is no | remedies. i am hoping so. - nevertheless, there is no tradition of independent investigation of police allege it use of force, excessive use of force in france. this will surprise a british audience, of course, because you have had many instances during the last 20 years. in france, the government is very reluctant to do that. there is, i think emmanuel macron is sensitive to what international media say. perhaps more sensitive to international media than the outskirts of the big cities. i think that the fact this is a world issue, today, in a stable

democracy, a wealthy country, that they can have brutal police that uses systemic discrimination from lyon to marseille, this... may help to trigger some sort of awareness in french politicians.— french politicians. thank you very much for your— french politicians. thank you very much for your time _ french politicians. thank you very much for your time here - french politicians. thank you very much for your time here on - french politicians. thank you very much for your time here on bbc l french politicians. thank you very - much for your time here on bbc news, and for that insight as well, into the problems in france. this is those rights have continued overnight, they have been an awful lot of wreckage left in many towns and france. live now to lille, in northern france, with our reporter sofia bettiza. we can see what those riots have left as the sun rises. what is the sense, the atmosphere, where you are

now, in northern france? it is far from over?— now, in northern france? it is far from over? well, the atmosphere here, from over? well, the atmosphere here. today. _ from over? well, the atmosphere here. today. is — from over? well, the atmosphere here, today, is still _ from over? well, the atmosphere here, today, is still quite - from over? well, the atmosphere here, today, is still quite tense. l here, today, is still quite tense. this, lille, has seen looting, fires, and destruction of public property like other cities in france. last night, 82 people were arrested in this area, seven police officers were injured. behind me, you can see what remains of a big office building. about five hundred people used to work here. it was a very important part of the local community. now, rioters broke in in the middle of the night, poured petrol everywhere, and to set fire to the building. you can see, it is completely destroyed. we can still see and smell the smoke. and, the people who used to work here have now lost their offices, and their

belongings. across the street, there is a pharmacy, that is also a health centre, and it is one of very few places in this neighbourhood where people can go and get treatment if they are ill. now, that has also been looted and partially destroyed. so you know, unlike in nanterre, hearing lille, people are not sympathising with the rioters. they are saying what a point destroying buildings like this one, pharmacies, schools, theatres, this is not the right way to pay tribute to nahel m. so, you are giving a sense that, certainly where you are, people are centred echoing the sentiment of emmanuel macron, where he said in canada he felt some of the rioters were taking advantage of the shooting of nahel m, and were out to

loot and destroy, it was not particularly about the issue. that is right. people have told us that they understand why people are angry, but, they do not condone the way that they are going about it. all of this is not going to bring back nahel m. although, it is fair to say that if you talk to people in nanterre, they will say something very different. there is a lot of anger towards the police. people are accusing the police here in france of racial profiling. of course, nahel m was a teenager of algerian descent, and they are accusing the police of using excessive. what people have already told us is that this is notjust about nahel m, this is the final straw for them, they feel that if you live in suburbs like this one, in lille or nanterre, paris, you tend to be targeted by the police more. that is why there

was this outburst of anger over the last few days. now, the french interior minister has said that the writing last night was not as bad as the previous night —— the rioting last night. that is partially because of a strong police presence across the country. in lille, and in several neighbourhoods, there has been a curfew imposed. that seems to have worked in some parts of the country. there has also been looting and violence in the south of france, especially in places like marseille. so, the fear is, there will be more violence and riots continuing in the coming days. thank you very much for filing that update for us. there is of course much more information about the french riots on the bbc news website and app. let's have a look at some other stories coming into the bbc newsroom at now. here in the uk — average household energy bill in england,

wales and scotland will be lower from today as the regulator, 0fgem, brings in its new price cap. typical annual costs will be reduced to £2,074 — which is about $2,600 us — a drop of £426, or $541 a year. our business correspondent, mark ashdown reports. for about 18 months now, energy bills have been rising and rising. finally, they seem to be stabilising, but for millions of people it's still a struggle. carly lives with her young son in a small flat in london. it isa it is a relief that they are stabilising, but they are still really high. it is not affordable, particularly with the cost of everything else going up. in 2019, the energy regulator, 0fgem, introduced a price cap in england, scotland and wales to try to bring stability to the market. it is reviewed every three months to

reflect changes in wholesale markets. in april, it was set at £3280, so households typically were not pay more than that for their energy. the government pass energy guarantee meant that they were capped at £2500. from july, after an�*s app has fallen to two thousand and £74. that will see the average consumer's bills for by a large amount. it is thought this will remain for several years yet. unfortunately, prices are likely to stay higher until the end of this decade. that is because the competition for energy on the global stage is going to continue.- stage is going to continue. energy bills are stage is going to continue. energy mus are still — stage is going to continue. energy bills are still nearly _ stage is going to continue. energy bills are still nearly double - stage is going to continue. energy bills are still nearly double what l bills are still nearly double what they were before the cave mac pandemic. a citizen's advice is hoping to help people more with bills than any other issues. we are helinu bills than any other issues. we are helping nearly _ bills than any other issues. we are helping nearly three _

bills than any other issues. we are helping nearly three people - bills than any other issues. we are helping nearly three people per. helping nearly three people per minute — helping nearly three people per minute with crisis support. we are continuing — minute with crisis support. we are continuing to break really unwelcome records _ continuing to break really unwelcome records when it comes to helping people _ records when it comes to helping people with energy.— people with energy. there are re orts people with energy. there are reports that — people with energy. there are reports that 6 _ people with energy. there are reports that 6 million - people with energy. there are i reports that 6 million households are now in fuel poverty. citizens advice says that people should... to the united states, where actors unions and major film studios have agreed to keep working and continue talks untiljuly 12 in an effort to prevent strike action. the unions — who's members include top stars like meryl streep the unions — whose members include top stars like meryl streep and jennifer lawrence — want a new pay deal, and safeguards around use of artificial intelligence. the actorjeff torres spoke about his position in all of this, as well as the issues and impact that al can have on actors. it has not started to take hold yet. i don't think that the technology is up to par yet, to replace people. right now, the problem is, the way that the ai works is, it takes information and styles from artists that exist.

so, it might take a picture and say, this person does a style, and it combines them, and essentially it is stealing. it is not like it as an intelligence creating its own art, it is stealing other people's style and art and creating something new. the technology is not there to replicate actors fully yet, and that is why it is so important we strike if we need to, now, if we do not get the protections from al going forward. in 3—5 years, it will replace us. it is essentially, pay us for our image and likeness. the problem that al presents is that, if they scan our face and body, and stay cool, now we can position you however you want if your performance is not exactly what we wanted, we can change it. suddenly, the consent of myself as an artist and labourer can be taken away. they want to do nudity in this scene, i never consented to that, perhaps. they are using my image without my permission the way that it should be.

they're using the image without compensating me, and that is even worse. in kenya, 49 people have been killed in a road accident. police say a lorry carrying a shipping container lost control and ploughed into vehicles near the town of kericho . more than 30 people were injured. the us�*s state department says in a chaotic evacuation from afghanistan in 2021 was the result of a lack of clear decision—making, and an absence of centralised crisis planning. a new report from the department says that the events are seriously undermined the viability of the afghan government which collapsed in days, allowing a taliban takeover. and, at least 25 people are dead in india after a bus in the western state caught fire. the bus was travelling on the expressway when it was believed to hit a central barrier, causing the diesel tank to burst into flames.

a column by broadcasterjeremy 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 0rganisation, 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.

jemima 0lchawski is the ceo of women's rights charity, the fawcett society, she appeared in that report you just watched. i spoke to her earlier for an update. of course, this is a really horrible example of sexism directed at meghan markle. but actually, this is about all women. 0n markle. but actually, this is about all women. on a mac when you make these comments and suggest it is acceptable or normal, this is a victory for faucet and wilde. jeremy clarkson said that his conlon was a reference to game of thrones, but he forgot to mention that because he was in a hurry. do think that this is a message to drama producers about how women are often betrayed? your mac i think that this is a

moment where the summit should be reflecting on the fact that this got published in the first place. it was obvious to anyone _ published in the first place. it was obvious to anyone who _ published in the first place. it was obvious to anyone who read - published in the first place. it was obvious to anyone who read it - published in the first place. it m3 obvious to anyone who read it helped discuss the sexist it was. that is why it is one of the most complained about articles ipso has ever had to deal with. about articles ipso has ever had to dealwith. it about articles ipso has ever had to deal with. it is also head up to our media more generally, saying we will not put up with this sexism and hatred in our press any more. standards will be enforced, and they need to ensure that they pay attention to them.— need to ensure that they pay attention to them. �* ., .., ., attention to them. before i came on air, i attention to them. before i came on air. i looked — attention to them. before i came on air. i looked no _ attention to them. before i came on air, i looked up hashtag _ attention to them. before i came on air, i looked up hashtag meghan - attention to them. before i came on air, i looked up hashtag meghan on | air, i looked up hashtag meghan on social media. there are worse things to continue to be written about her andindeed to continue to be written about her and indeed other women and other celebrities not byjournalists or the media by civilians. this is a problem that goes well beyond the sun newspaper and other publications, isn't it? absolutely. i think publications, isn't it? absolutely. i think that _ publications, isn't it? absolutely. ithinkthat this— publications, isn't it? absolutely. i think that this brings _ publications, isn't it? absolutely. i think that this brings to - publications, isn't it? absolutely. i think that this brings to before i i think that this brings to before the depth and scale of misogyny in

our society, which often we don't want to reckon with. but, what is particularly problematic about this is that it was allowed to be published in such a high—profile position in one of our most read newspapers. jeremy clarkson is not just someone on the internet having an opinion, he is a well—paid man pay to have opinions and put them in the press. and, the sun is notjust a forum, it is one of our biggest newspapers. it has a responsibility not to perpetuate hate, and it is a responsibility they voluntarily committed to in the stand up to the ipso code. you are right to say that this is part of a broader culture, and one of the most problematic things is that this normalises that, it perpetuates it. when other people see these kinds of tricks and ideas, it sends that message, it is normal, it sends that message, it is normal, it is ok to think about women this. more on that story on the bbc news website. in south korea — seoul's pride parade is under way — following months of wrangling, after officials rejected

an application from organizers to hold it at the usual spot in front of city hall. there is rising anti—lgbtq rhetoric in the country, as our correspondent michael bristow reports. as you can probably see all around me, thousands of people have turned out. if there has been a controversy, if there were fears of their perhaps would be clashes with a coalition of christian groups which have set up a rival parade not too far away from here, if there were fears, they haven't stopped people coming out in their thousands. as you can see, they are dressed up in rainbow colours, some have got quite exotic costumes on. some are not wearing very much at all. it is essentially a celebration of growing diversity here in south korea. but, it is also part of a campaign, as well. these activists, people here want to see more legal protection for sexual minorities in south korea, specifically, they want to see parliament passed a law which allows parliament pass a law which allows same—sex marriages. there is some are currently going through parliament, but it

is not they are, yet. so, a lot of the people here have come out today because they want to push politicians, remind them that south korea is a diverse society, and they want that enshrined in legislation. a new satellite that will look at 10 billion years of evolution in the universe is due to launch later. the euclid project is designed to uncover the secrets of the dark universe. it is being launched in florida by elon musk�*s space x company. so let's try and understand this mission. here's david waddell in the newsroom. david, the first question: what is the dark universe? i david, the first question: what is the dark universe?— david, the first question: what is the dark universe? i confess, this is something _ the dark universe? i confess, this is something i — the dark universe? i confess, this is something i did _ the dark universe? i confess, this is something i did not _ the dark universe? i confess, this is something i did not know- the dark universe? i confess, this is something i did not know much about when i started this morning. i will start by saying what it is not, it is not this, what you can see here. this image was taken by, or constructed by images taken by the james webb telescope in space. a new

telescope being sent out. what you're seeing here is normal matter. my you're seeing here is normal matter. my coffee, it might look dark, but it is also normal matter. what we are talking about here in the dark universe is dark matter and dark energy. dark matter is what you cannot see. dark energy also cannot be seen. dark matter consists of 28% of the universe, it is what draws the galaxies together into a coherent form. any normal matter have gravitational force, but scientists concluded that the amount of gravity that exists between stars and planets and so on would not hold gravity together. they have used this phrase, dark matter, to describe other elements of the universe a draw galaxies together. dark energy is something else, that takes up 70,60 8% of dark energy is something else, that takes up 70, 60 8% of the universe. it is quite different, drawing galaxies are further apart. not the galaxies are further apart. not the galaxies themselves, but the galaxies themselves, but the galaxies away from each other. the

universe has been expanding since 13.8 million years ago when the big bang occurred, give or take a few months. and, it has been expanding the whole time. the question is, well the universe continue to expand into the future, well it one day fall into its self in what the scientists call the big crunch. you sound like — scientists call the big crunch. you sound like an _ scientists call the big crunch. you sound like an expert to me, you did well there. what we know about the actual telescope? these are fantastic bits of text, now, showing as parts of the universe we would never get to see. this as parts of the universe we would never get to see.— never get to see. this is an artist's impression - never get to see. this is an artist's impression of - never get to see. this is an artist's impression of the i never get to see. this is an - artist's impression of the telescope itself, what it might look like in space. here is another image of it flying over the earth as it hopes to do. i willjust take you back to that previous image, we can see it up that previous image, we can see it up a bit closely. the mirror inside this telescope, unlike the james webb's telescope, is 1.2 metres wide, much smaller. what it is trying to do is capture an

understanding of the universe in three dimensions, and that is what it is trying to do, very different to the james webb telescope. thank ou ve to the james webb telescope. thank you very much. _ to the james webb telescope. thank you very much, more _ to the james webb telescope. thank you very much, more on _ to the james webb telescope. thank you very much, more on that - to the james webb telescope. thank you very much, more on that on - to the james webb telescope. thank you very much, more on that on the bbc news website. stay with us as we bring you the latest, thank you for watching. hello. after what looks to be probably the warmestjune on record in the uk, july is starting off on a bit of a cooler, more unsettled note. so, it's going to be a weekend of blustery showers, particularly in the north. some sunshine around too, more so the further south you are. but the bulk of the cloud that brought yesterday's rain is now clearing towards the east. and you can see on the satellite image, clearer skies starting to work in from the atlantic, but there'll also be some showers blown in on this north westerly wind. so, the bulk of the showers today will be across northern ireland, parts of north wales, northern england, and particularly so for scotland in the north and the west. perhaps something a little drier towards aberdeenshire, the firth of forth, for instance, as well.

more sunshine further south, lifting temperatures 22 or 23 degrees in the warmest spots. but further north, we're looking at the high teens and of course, the ashes continue today at lord's. and we've had a lot of cloud around there this morning so far, bit of drizzle, but tending to brighten up now. and i think really through the remainder of the day it should be dry with some sunshine. a noticeable westerly breeze. into the evening and tonight, showers fade away for most of us. but they'll continue in the far north west and there'll be more heavy rain across the likes of caithness and sutherland, the northern isles as well. but temperatures down a notch on recent nights. a bit of a fresher start to sunday, but more sunshine from the word go compared to today. so, we've got low pressure that's sitting offjust towards the north east of the uk, moving in towards scandinavia, the winds rotating around that area of low pressure, bringing us another day of sunshine and showers for sunday. like today, the showers most frequent across northern ireland and scotland, especially in the north and the west. fewer showers into parts of northern england and mostly dry, i think, down towards the south of england and wales. but you could catch a passing shower. 14 to 22 degrees, so temperatures probably down a notch

compared to today. we've still got that breeze, but probably not quite as windy in the north. and then as we move through into monday, again, not a lot of change. we've got the winds coming in from the north west, low pressure sitting out across parts of scandinavia. so more showers pushing into western scotland, later in the day for northern ireland, western parts of britain, we'll see those showers arriving. staying dry longest, i think, towards the east, and temperatures 14 to 22 degrees, fairly typical for the time of year. but a fairly unsettled outlook really through much of the week ahead. sunny spells, scattered showers, perhaps something a little bit warmer and drier, though, as we look towards the end of this coming week. bye bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines. french police have detained more than 1,300 during a fourth night of rioting. there was unrest in marseille, lyon, grenoble and parts of paris. the violence was sparked by the fatal shooting of a teenage boy by a police officer on tuesday. and in the uk, the press watchdog upholds a complaint, that an opinion column written in the uk's sun newspaper, by the broadcaster, jeremy clarkson, was sexist towards meghan, the duchess of sussex. the european space agency

will launch its euclid telescope from cape canaveral today on a mission to produce an enormous
