hello and welcome, i'm samantha simmonds. we start in france where the funeral service is taking place for 17—year—old nahel m, whose killing by a police officer during a traffic stop in a parisian suburb on tuesday has sparked four nights of unrest. last night, police made more than 1,300 arrests across the country. and in the last hour we've heard that president macron has postponed a planned state visit to germany amid the unrest. riots have broken out in several cities — notably in marseille, in the south of the country. video footage shows streets on fire, and shops — including a gun store — being looted by rioters. despite the deployment of 16,000 police officers — the violence has continued — including in the capital, paris. 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.

well, authorities here are bracing themselves for another night of violence. after yesterday. a day which proved to be very disruptive one, there was a lot of damage and destruction, notjust here in paris, but across the country. as you say, there were more than 1300 arrests, i think the latest figures may now take that up to as close to 2000 arrests. a lot of that damage to buildings, and there is really concern about a repeat of more violence. underthe concern about a repeat of more violence. under the challenge really is for the authorities, what can be done to stop that violence from continuing? there have been talks over a state of emergency being imposed, that is not yet on the table. the paris metro and other public transport is going to be suspended later this evening for an overnight. and these disturbances have been taking place across the country. my colleague is in northern

france. �* , ., france. atmosphere here in northern france. atmosphere here in northern france is still — france. atmosphere here in northern france is still tense. _ france. atmosphere here in northern france is still tense. like _ france. atmosphere here in northern france is still tense. like many - france is still tense. like many other_ france is still tense. like many other cities _ france is still tense. like many other cities across the country, this place — 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. now, 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. i mean, it's completely destroyed, as you can see. we can still see and smell the smoke, and the people who used to work there have now lost their offices and their belongings. across the street, there's a pharmacy. there is also a health centre and one of very few places here

in this neighbourhood where people could go and get treatment. now, that's also been looted and destroyed. so, what a lot of people here are telling us is that they do not sympathise with the rioters. they've said what's the point of destroying public buildings like this one, pharmacies, theatres, schools? their feeling is that that is not the right way to ask forjustice and remember nahel. what are people saying to you about why they _ what are people saying to you about why they have been taking through the streets?— why they have been taking through the streets? ~ . , ., ., ., the streets? what is at the heart of these protests? _ the streets? what is at the heart of these protests? well, _ the streets? what is at the heart of these protests? well, at _ the streets? what is at the heart of these protests? well, at the - the streets? what is at the heart of these protests? well, at the heartl these protests? well, at the heart of these protests _ these protests? well, at the heart of these protests is _ these protests? well, at the heart of these protests is one _ these protests? well, at the heart of these protests is one question, | of these protests is one question, is the friends police racist? you talk to people in the suburb of non—tear, where17—year—old nahel m was killed by an officer and they will say yes. they will say that the

case of nahel m was just the tip of the iceberg and there are many examples of people from minority communities being targeted by law enforcement. that is of a sentiment that the un also sympathises with. we had a statement from the united nations yesterday saying that the french police needed to address issues of racism and discrimination. but the french authorities disagree. we had a statement from the french ministry saying that they didn't agree with the characterisation from the un. many people we speak to say that unless the government actually addresses the fact that there is a problem when it comes to racism in the french police, then this conversation won't move any further and the protests will continue. that is the challenge that many people on the street say they are waiting for president macron to say something else. ~ ., president macron to say something else. ~ . , ., else. meanwhile, president macron has cancelled _ else. meanwhile, president macron has cancelled his _ else. meanwhile, president macron has cancelled his visit _ else. meanwhile, president macron has cancelled his visit to _ else. meanwhile, president macron has cancelled his visit to germany | has cancelled his visit to germany so it is clearly causing huge issues at the top of the government there.

it is. that also means a challenge in terms of law enforcement. we've had more troops being... more police i should say being displayed on the streets. 16,000 across the country yesterday. that didn't really dampen the violence too much. although the interior ministry did say that the violence lessened a bit last night. but we are hearing on social media channels that there could be much more violence tonight. people are planning to gather in the centre of paris, whether or not that materialises, we don't yet know. but the feeling certainly is that there is going to be more violence. and at the end of this isn't really clear. nobody really knows what and how will end this.— the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has warned that a "serious threat" remains at the russian—occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and he believes that russia is "technically ready" to provoke a localised explosion at the facility.

earlier today zelensky met the spanish prime minister, pedro sanchez, who was in kyiv. mr sanchez said the eu would support ukraine in its war against russia no matter what the price. he added his visit shows the eu's "unequivocal" support for ukraine's membership bid. the european space agency has launched its euclid telescope on a mission to produce an enormous 3d map of the cosmos. euclid — which cost more than $1 billion — blasted off on a rocket from cape canaveral in florida. it's hoped the project will improve our understanding of dark matter and dark energy. researchers know virtually nothing about these phenomena, which appear to make up the vast majority of the universe. euclid will carry out its work from an observing position on the opposite side of our planet to the sun. live now to florida where we're joined by professor bob nichol — professor of astrophysics at the university of surrey. he has worked on the euclid telescope since its inception. he was lucky enough to see it launch

a short time ago. welcome to you. just explain this phenomena tour is and what of his mission is hoping to be able to do. and what of his mission is hoping to be able to tie-— and what of his mission is hoping to be able to do. hello, everyone, from florida. be able to do. hello, everyone, from florida- very — be able to do. hello, everyone, from florida. very hot _ be able to do. hello, everyone, from florida. very hot here. _ be able to do. hello, everyone, from florida. very hot here. it _ be able to do. hello, everyone, from florida. very hot here. it is - be able to do. hello, everyone, from florida. very hot here. it is hoping i florida. very hot here. it is hoping to give us of the next bit of the puzzle to what this dark universe really is. as you alluded to, 95% of the universe is dark, it doesn't shine, and we have to observe it through other means. we know something about it, but we don't know all of the things about these dark substances in the universe. so he euclid really is the next step in our discovery of what this stuff is that mix of the most of our universe. that mix of the most of our universe-— that mix of the most of our universe. ~ , i. �* universe. as you said, we can't actually see — universe. as you said, we can't actually see it, _ universe. as you said, we can't actually see it, so _ universe. as you said, we can't actually see it, so how- universe. as you said, we can't actually see it, so how will- universe. as you said, we can'tj actually see it, so how will mac universe. as you said, we can't i actually see it, so how will mac to take photos of this thing that we can see? ~ , ., , can see? well, we see through its influence other _ can see? well, we see through its influence other things. _ can see? well, we see through its influence other things. we - can see? well, we see through its influence other things. we see - influence other things. we see through its influence on things we can see, so it using a topic called... a methodology called weak gravitational lens in, and that is

where the shapes of distant galaxies are perturbed by the light from them coming to us and passing through the dark matter between us. so we see it through its influence on other things. and if we get more and more galaxies, then we get more and more and more accurate map of where that dark matter is and what it looks like. �* ., dark matter is and what it looks like. ~ . ~ ., like. and what will the knowledge cained like. and what will the knowledge gained from _ like. and what will the knowledge gained from this _ like. and what will the knowledge gained from this mission - like. and what will the knowledge gained from this mission do - like. and what will the knowledge gained from this mission do in - gained from this mission do in improving our understanding of our origins? improving our understanding of our oriains? ~ ., improving our understanding of our oriains? ~ . ., ,. ., origins? well, we are fascinated about the universe _ origins? well, we are fascinated about the universe is _ origins? well, we are fascinated about the universe is that - origins? well, we are fascinated about the universe is that we . origins? well, we are fascinated| about the universe is that we are living. eversince about the universe is that we are living. ever since we've been able to look up into the stars, we try to understand, why does the universe look like it does? in fact, the dark sky is an enigma to us, through something called on the's paradox. i think we've always had this lust for information on why the universe is the way that it is. and as we discover things, that sort of fundamental science, we turn that fundamental science, we turn that fundamental knowledge into more applied knowledge as things get more

and more understood. so it is very hard to predict how this fundamental discovery will help us today, but in the future, it gives us an foundation for more interesting technology, more interesting applications of our science. said the telescope _ applications of our science. said the telescope is _ applications of our science. said the telescope is on _ applications of our science. said the telescope is on its _ applications of our science. said the telescope is on its way now to its final destination. just explain what happens then and how quickly will start getting information and being able to analyse it?- being able to analyse it? sure. well, it being able to analyse it? sure. well. it was — being able to analyse it? sure. well, it was just _ being able to analyse it? sure. well, it wasjust an _ being able to analyse it? sure. well, it wasjust an ounce - being able to analyse it? sure. l well, it wasjust an ounce here, well, it was just an ounce here, which was fantastic to hear, we have communicated with the satellite, so is up. the satellite is talking back to us, which is a major milestone, is probably people may remember. that is always one of the very anxious moments when you fly a satellite and it doesn't talk back to you. but that has passed. euclid is now talking to us. it has a month—long journey until it gets to this place called the second and point where the james webb telescope is hanging out at the moment. at that point, it will go through about three months of checking its

instrument, taking its first images, making sure that they'll work exactly how we expect them to, and thenit exactly how we expect them to, and then it will launch into a five year mission where it will scan about a third of the extragalactic sky. tells what it meant to you to see it go into space, the telescope, you've been working on this for ten years? well, it's actually been 15 years. todayis well, it's actually been 15 years. today is a very special day as it is my mother's birthday. i think she would be very proud of my involvement in such a wonderful mission. so god rest her soul. also, i'm a manchester city fan and i would put it up there with winning the treble. �* ., would put it up there with winning the treble. �* . ., , ., the treble. brilliant. clearly a very significant _ the treble. brilliant. clearly a very significant day _ the treble. brilliant. clearly a very significant day indeed. l the treble. brilliant. clearly a - very significant day indeed. thank you very much. thumbs up there from cape canaveral. you very much. thumbs up there from cape canaveral-— the king of the netherlands, willem—alexander, has apologised for his country's role in slavery at an event marking 150 years since slaves were freed in former colonies. in his speech, the monarch said he felt "personally and intensely" affected. a dutch study revealed that the royal family earned the equivalent of nearly $600 million from the colonies,

where slavery was widespread. let's hear some of what he had to say and the reaction among those gathered. translation: the horrific legacy | of slavery remains with us today. | its effects can still be felt in racism in our society. in december last year, the dutch prime minister apologised on behalf of the dutch government for the fact that for centuries in the name of the dutch state, human beings were made into commodities, exploited and abused. today, i stand before you. today, as your king and as a member of the government, i make this apology myself. applause. and i feel the weight of the words in my heart and my soul. australia has become first country

to allow doctors to prescribe mdma to treat ptsd and depression. authorised clinicians can also prescribe psilocybin, a compound found in magic mushrooms, for treatment. here in the uk, the 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, 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. in 2019, the energy regulator 0fgem 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, 0fgem'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 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. 0fgem says it supports vulnerable consumers and anyone struggling with their bills should seek advice from their supplier. mark ashdown, bbc news. let 5 get some of the day 5 other news now... at least 49 people have been killed in a road accident at a busy junction in western kenya. 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 state department says the 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 the event 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 of maharashtra caught fire. the bus was travelling on the expressway from nagpur to pune when it's believed it hit a central barrier, causing its diesel tank to burst into flames. a column by the 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 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 we are going to hold our press to account and say that it isn't acceptable to perpetuate these kind of hateful ideas any more. and while there's no comment from meghan and harry, it's understood they were happy for the complaint to go forward about an article that prince harry described as "horrific, hurtful and cruel. " david sillito, bbc news. a silent disco, sequins, and the eulogy delivered by none other than the vicar of dibley, not what you'd necessarily expect at a funeral, but for cancer campaigner, kris hallenga, it was everything she'd imagined. kris, who is living with stage four breast cancer, joined her family and friends at her own "living funeral" earlier this month, and hopes to encourage others to be more open about death. john danks reports has been speaking to her. kris hallenga was only 23 when she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. through her charity, coppafeel, she's since raised awareness

of how the disease can affect younger people. earlier this year, kris decided to organise her own living funeral. i've been living with a terminal diagnosis for 14 years. i've been very aware of my mortality for a really long time. and so this isn't an overnight thing for me. but more recently i have wondered why we celebrate people's lives when they're dead. determined to put the "fun" into funeral, kris has included lots of dancing, a silent disco and dawn french, as the vicar of dibley, delivering the eulogy at truro cathedral. i done a lot of research on kris, and it is kris—tal clear that he was a very wonderful... it was the best day of my life. it was, i think, everything i had imagined. i felt such love, so much joy.

being surrounded by all of my favorite people in the whole entire world was just, it was very meaningful and very, very special. it was a ceremony full of special moments. my friend was playing the piano, and it was so beautiful. she said this is an opportunity for people to go up and write on the casket if they wanted to. and... sorry. it was just so beautiful. with this celebration of her life, kris hopes to encourage others to talk about death. just do something that feels right for you and the people in your life, and don't be afraid to have those conversations. a new study by the consumer group which has found many iced coffees from uk high street chains contain more sugar than a mars bar or a coca cola. the survey — which compared frappes and frappuccinos from caffe nero,

costa and starbucks — found the drinks had "exceptionally high" amounts of sugar — with some containing more than an adults recommended daily intake. shefalee loth is a nutritionist —— and the author of the study from which. we looked at a range of frappe centre opportunist from the main coffee shops on the high street, thatis coffee shops on the high street, that is cafe nero, costa coffee and to starbucks and we found exceedingly high levels of sugar. i think you mentioned, we've had examples where one drink, and these were either standard size drinks are medium—sized drinks, but in one drink we found up to 46 grams of sugar. that is more than 11 teaspoons of sugar. i think consumers probably wouldn't expect to find that much in what they think is an iced coffee.— is an iced coffee. surely it can be 'ust uuite is an iced coffee. surely it can be just quite a _ is an iced coffee. surely it can be just quite a simple _ is an iced coffee. surely it can be just quite a simple thing - is an iced coffee. surely it can be just quite a simple thing to - is an iced coffee. surely it can be - just quite a simple thing to remedy? it should just be down to your choice of how much sugar you want in

that's it from me for the moment, stay with us here in bbc news, thanks for watching. hello. we start off the first day ofjuly on a fairly fresh, unsettled sort of note with sunshine and showers. certainly it's a little bit cooler than much ofjune. in fact, it looks likejune is going to turn out to be the warmestjune on record in the uk. so we've got some blue skies and sunshine already starting to break through. really, through the rest of the weekend, that mix of sunny spells and scattered, blustery showers, but most of the showers will be across the northern half of the uk. yesterday's cloud is exiting towards the east, and we've got clearer skies now rolling in from the atlantic, still bearing a few showers with them. most of the showers for the rest of the day will be across scotland and northern ireland. more persistent rain, in fact, across the far north of scotland, but easing away gradually through this evening and overnight.

so a dry end to the day. then, as we head through to the early hours of sunday morning, it will be a little bit cooler and fresher than it was first thing saturday morning. so temperatures in the countryside just about getting down into single figures. so through the day tomorrow, then, we've still got low pressure sitting out towards the north—east of the uk. the winds are rotating around that low pressure, bringing us a few showers. a bit like today, most of the showers tomorrow will be across parts of scotland and northern ireland. there will be more persistent rain for the likes of caithness and sutherland up towards the northern isles at times. lots of sunshine further south. still a bit of a breeze blowing, probably not quite as strong as it is out there today. temperatures just down a notch, so between about 14 to 22 north to south on sunday. no great change in the weather as we roll through to the new working week as well. if you have got tickets to the ashes, of course, at lord's, that continues — it looks like a dry day tomorrow, temperatures about 21 degrees, and a noticeable breeze coming in from the west. now, moving through sunday night and on into monday, there is that low pressure not moving in a hurry, sitting across parts of scandinavia,

so more showers rotating in on that west or north—westerly breeze, pushing into parts of northern ireland, western scotland through the morning. later in the day, some of those showers arrive across england and wales. but it is eastern areas that will keep driest for the longest on monday. temperatures between about 13 to 21 degrees. all in all, much of the week ahead is looking fairly unsettled, so there will be some showers at times. some sunshine in between those showers as well, so not a complete write—off. but it looks like it will be a bit drier and warmer at least in the south, later in the week. some of those showers could affect the championships, which, of course, begin at wimbledon. goodbye.
