hello, welcome to bbc news. we start in france where the funeral service has begun for 17 year—old nahel m, whose killing by a police officer at a roadcheck in a parisien suburb on tuesday has sparked four nights of unrest. last night, police made more than 1,300 arrests across the country. 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." let's get the latest now from paris and speak to our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan. there doesn't seem to be any sign that tensions are going to ease in the coming hours or days. m0. that tensions are going to ease in the coming hours or days.- the coming hours or days. no, it doesn't. course, _ the coming hours or days. no, it doesn't. course, of— the coming hours or days. no, it doesn't. course, of these - the coming hours or days. no, it doesn't. course, of these things| the coming hours or days. no, it. doesn't. course, of these things are always really difficult to predict, but it was another night of violence. notjust here in paris, but across the country, as you are saying. now, the interior minister says the violence has lessened somewhat from the previous three nights, but, we have seen more arrests, as he mentioned there, 1300 arrests. police officers, the authority say it, also injured in the clashes. we at we are seeing now is that the violence is spreading to other parts of the country as well. as i was saying earlier, in a

headline, the funeral of 17—year—old nahel m, who was killed at a traffic stop in nanterre, where he lived, is now under way. we passed the mourners as we came here to the centre of paris. there were dozens of people queueing to get inside the mosque, there are, after the service at the mosque, he will be buried nearby. afterwards, some people say they are going to gather in the centre of paris. now, people say that they want peaceful protests. there are others who are being violent once darkness falls. and so, it is really hard to predict what is going to happen every night. judging by the last few nights that we have been here, we arejust by the last few nights that we have been here, we are just expecting more violence and more devastation and destruction, i should say. since i have come — and destruction, i should say. since i have come on _ and destruction, i should say. since i have come on air _ and destruction, i should say. since i have come on air here _ and destruction, i should say. since i have come on air here on - and destruction, i should say. since i have come on air here on bbc- and destruction, i should say. since i have come on air here on bbc news, we have been hearing from various correspondence and experts that there is a lot of support for these

protests, and what they are about. racism in the french police force, brutality as well, social injustice, but the support for the particularly violent actions by some protesters, burning down buildings, destroying people's private property, that support seems to be wavering quite significantly. £31 support seems to be wavering quite significantly-— significantly. of course, it it de-ends significantly. of course, it it depends on _ significantly. of course, it it depends on who _ significantly. of course, it it depends on who you - significantly. of course, it it depends on who you talk. significantly. of course, it it| depends on who you talk to. significantly. of course, it it - depends on who you talk to. we significantly. of course, it it _ depends on who you talk to. we spent a lot of time in nanterre, the suburb where nahel m lived. it was where he was shot by police. and, a lot of people doubt that we have spoken to have expressed their frustrations with the police, who they say, are not there to protect them. nanterre is an ethnically diverse neighbourhood, there are many people that when arab heritage, african roots, and they live in that neighbourhood. they say that the police are racist. the un said yesterday that the french police need to look at its problem with

racism. then, you had a statement in response to that from the french government, which said there was no foundations in what the un was saying. and then, you balance that on the other side with the fact that there are people living in that same neighbourhood, who were sweeping up glass from their shattered windows of their shop fronts and restaurants, and they are paying the price of that violence. i have spoken to people who believe the violence is justified. spoken to people who believe the violence isjustified. i have spoken to people who condemn it as well. but, across the board, in the majority, most of the people we have spoken to in nanterre do believe that there is an underlying issue that there is an underlying issue that does need to be addressed. we have been seeing some damage across the country. my colleague has been in northern france, in lille, and she sent us at this report. this the atmosphere here in lille in northern france is still tense. like many other cities across the country, this place has seen looting, fires, and damage to public property. 82 people were arrested in the area

last night, and seven police officers were injured. and, behind me, you can see what remains of a big office building. about 500 people used to work here. this building was a very important part of this community. now, rioters broke in in the middle of the night, they poured fuel everywhere, and they set the building on fire. it was completely destroyed, as you can see, we can still see and smell the smoke. the people he used to work there have now lost their offices, and their belongings. across the street, there is a pharmacy, and also a health centre. one of very few places in this neighbourhood where people can go and get treatment. that has also been looted and destroyed. a lot of people here are telling us that they do not

sympathise with the rioters, they have said, what is the point of destroying public buildings like this one, pharmacies, theatres, schools? theirfeeling is, that that is not the right way to ask for justice and remember nahel m. that is from lille, where there has also been vandalism and looting. all of this poses a real problem for france's government, which is weighing up whether to introduce a state of emergency in the country, to try to contain the violence. that would mean, there would be a ban on public gatherings and curfews would be introduced. it is sort of scene as the nuclear option, so they have been weighing up whether or not to introduce that. i guess that as the days progress and the violence increases, there are chances that are being introduced just gets higher. studio: thank you very much. live to

marseille, where we can speak to journalist cole stangler. he covers labour and politics stories in the french city. i think what is clear is that, what we saw last night went beyond some of the violence and damage in the cities across france. where i am speaking to you from now, over my balcony, i can see the weapons store that has been referenced a lot in the press, where you had looters breaking into the store, reportedly taking some weapons. police were then pasted outside the shop throughout the evening. what i saw yesterday was groups of often young people, teenagers, essentially, clad in black, some yielding makeshift weapons, engaging in looting and

running street battles with the police. a really tense night here. i haven't seen anything like this since the start of these riots in marseille. the city is very segregated. last night, what we saw was, the centre of town, which is where you have a lot of shops and restaurants catering for tourists, this part of the city was really taken up and moved into by people living in the alta league northern neighbourhoods, moving into the centre. a lot of people are worried about what will happen tonight. like last night, there will be no public transport after 7pm. there is a ban on demonstrations. after the damage of last night, people are quite worried and concerned about what is going to happen tonight.— worried and concerned about what is going to happen tonight. reminds us ofthe going to happen tonight. reminds us of the london _ going to happen tonight. reminds us of the london riots _ going to happen tonight. reminds us of the london riots and _ going to happen tonight. reminds us of the london riots and other - going to happen tonight. reminds us of the london riots and other cities l of the london riots and other cities in the uk over similar issues when it came to racism and treatment of black youths by the british police. we have seen what happened with

george floyd and the black lives matter movement in america. we have seen scenes like this time and time again and have had about these issues time and time again. the one thing that we are hearing here at the bbc from a lot of people, a lot of analysts and experts, is that the french government seem resistant to tackle the issue that many of these people are angry about. why is that? that is the million dollar question. it is an essential question. what is clear, is that there are statistics showing this as a problem. maybe not as many statistics as we have in the united states are in the uk, the government has plans on collecting certain types of data, most data, really, and ethnicity. so, it is difficult to trace this, but let me give you one number very quickly. in 2017, the defender of the civil rights ombudsman found that young black men and men of north african

descent were many times more likely to be stopped for id checks in any other part of the population. we have this data, but there is a political issue here, where i think the government has decided its political constituency is not perhaps so supportive of measures that would go to tackling this problem. i think that it is an excellent question that needs to be asked of the interior minister, of the government, because, as we had yesterday, despite those comments from the un, the government continues to deny there is a problem with racism and discrimination in the police. one other point i want to make, as well, when you're looking at the history of these protests you reference, there are two big movements here that you have seenin two big movements here that you have seen in france in recent years. on one hand, this is reminiscent of what we saw a couple of years ago in 2020 in the aftermath of the george floyd killing in the united states. we had essentially a french version of the black lives matter movement.

that was in 2020. mostly peaceful demonstrations. on the other hand, what we are seeing today is much more similar in a lot of ways to what we saw in 2005, perhaps more similar to that, where we saw mass riots going on for a couple of weeks. and in 2005, the government imposed a state of emergency. and thatis imposed a state of emergency. and that is what we are seeing more calls for, for the government to use that nuclear option, and see how that nuclear option, and see how that plays out. that nuclear option, and see how that plays out-— that nuclear option, and see how that plays out. thank you for that anal sis that plays out. thank you for that analysis and _ that plays out. thank you for that analysis and insight, _ that plays out. thank you for that analysis and insight, there. - that plays out. thank you for that analysis and insight, there. live i analysis and insight, there. live coverage available on the bbc news website on the french rights. here in the uk — average household energy bill in england, wales and scotland will be lower from today as the regulator, ofgem, 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, and 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 is a relief that they're sort of stabilising, but they're still really high. they're still unaffordable, particularly with the cost of everything else going on. of everything else going up. in 2019, the energy regulator ofgem introduced a maximum price suppliers can charge for a unit of gas and electricity. it's reviewed every three months to reflect changes in 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 a year. analysts predict that energy bills will stay around this level for some years yet.

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, energy bills are still nearly double what they were before the covid pandemic. the charity, citizen's advice, says it helping more people says it is helping more people with their energy bills than any other cost—of—living topic. we know that 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're continuing to break really unwelcome records when it comes to helping people with energy debts. there are warnings, too, that six million households are now in fuel poverty. ofgem says it supports vulnerable consumers and anyone struggling with their bills should seek advice from their supplier. mark ashdown, bbc news.

now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. england have made some valuable headway in the first session of this 4th day at lord's — as they attempt to stay in with a chance. australia resumed day four at lord's on 130—2, leading by 221 stuart broad with the wickets of usman khawaja and travis head. josh tongue managed to get steve smith — thanks to straightforward catch from zak crawley. australia now 214 for 5 as they look to pile on the runs, before attempting to bowl england out, to go 2 up in the series. the women's ashes gets back under way today, with england's women also on a rescue mission when they play australia in the first t20 match of their multi—format ashes series, tonight. they lost the one off test match, by 89 runs at trent bridge in nottingham on monday, and because of the way that that match is weighted, in the scoring, heather knight's side must win five, of the remaining six matches, to win back the ashes. that would be for the first time since 2014. england's lionesses have three weeks

until their opening game of the women's football world cup... they take on portgual today in milton keynes — in a warm up game, before flying out to australia next week. england will also take on canada, behind closed doors, but manager, sarina wiegman said she would have liked more than just the two warm up matches. katie gornall�*s at the stadium mk... vital build up time then for the squad, before the big tournament later this month. you are right, yes, a really important game. i had of this match, it was said that she was closer to knowing her starting 11 for the world cup. lots to ponder, you will remember that she is lacking four players from the year rose in the starting 11 due to injury or retirement, and she is also about the england captain for this game, as the captain continues her recovery from knee surgery. so, she has a decision to make at centre back, who will partner alex greenwood in defence. she also has a

decision to make up the left back, because last season pass left back is now providing competition with alessia rousseau for that number nine role. it will be interesting to see how england ran up we expect georgia stanway to win her 50th cap for her country. it is a sell—out here, flags are in the stands, the excitement is building, and england prepare to play their final game on home soil before flying out to australia on the 5th ofjuly. thank ou ve australia on the 5th ofjuly. thank you very much — australia on the 5th ofjuly. thank you very much indeed. _ now after 12 years, at manchester united, what now for their spanish goalkeeper davide de hayer? his contract came to an end, yesterday, and with no decision yet, over whether he will remain at old trafford. the spaniard had agreed to a new contract earlier this month, but it was then withdrawn by united. it means at the age of 32, he'll become a free agent. patrick vieira is set to become the new manager at ligue un club, rc strasbourg. vieira has been out of work

since being sacked by premier league side crystal palace in march. chelsea's owners have recently agreed a deal to buy a majority stake in strasbourg. vieira will sign a three year contract, and the deal should be completed tomorrow. lewis hamilton will start today's sprint race at the austrian grand prix from a lowly 18th as max verstappen took pole position. defending champion verstappen raced to top spot for the second day in a row after claiming pole for sunday's grand prix in friday's qualifying. his red bull team mate sergio perez willjoin him on the front row for today's 23—lap dash round the red bull ring, with mclaren�*s lando norris an impressive third. just before we go, a reminder that the tour de france is under way in the tour de france is under way in the spanish city of dell bowel. and, of course, the ashes test on bbc sport. studio: thank you, i was sneak out to watch that later.

jeremy 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. live now to our report anna o'neill. live now to our reporter anna o'neill. what happened is that, if so, the independent press standards organisation, found that the piece contain a pejorative and prejudicial reference to meghan�*s six, but did not find one on race, or accuracy, or that the columnist had harassed the duchess. because there was a code of practice that has been breached, the editor's code of practice, then the newspaper was required to publish its findings today. it has complied with that, but you'd be forgiven if you didn't see it on first glance, it was right down here at the bottom of the front page. a signpost saying that the

summary of the findings themselves can be found on page 17, which is by jeremy clarkson�*s column will usually be found, today. the newspaper will not have to pay a fine, however.— newspaper will not have to pay a fine, however. 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 survey — 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 and author of the study from which, shefalee loth. thank you forjoining us. are we likely to see reduced sugar in those coffees, then? likely to see reduced sugar in those coffees. then?— coffees, then? who knows, i guess that is the responsibility _ coffees, then? who knows, i guess that is the responsibility of - coffees, then? who knows, i guess that is the responsibility of the - that is the responsibility of the coffee shops. as you say, we look at a range of frappe is, cappuccinos

some are coming from far and wide. i have spoken to people from canada, south africa, france. as you mentioned, there is concern that just stop the oil will use pride to take a stance. they tweeted that they want the organisers of pride to publicly declare that oil should not be used, they should be more transparent about where their money is coming from. i spoke tojust stop oil who are at parliament square, and they said that they would be heading up whitehall to trafalgar square. so far, we are not over there, so we cannot tell what the destruction, if any, there, so we cannot tell what the destruction, ifany, could be. but, the mayor of london, and we spoke their manner, so that the focus should be on the lgbt q their manner, so that the focus should be on the lgbt 0 community. it is a celebration of pride, and thatis it is a celebration of pride, and that is echoed by many people here. many are saying that it is even more important than than it has ever been. there has been a rise in hate
