dead by a police officer has taken place in the paris suburb of nanterre. the death of 17—year—old nahel during a traffic stop has sparked four nights of riots and looting in a number of french cities. on friday night another 1,300 people were arrested, and there are fears of further disturbances across the country tonight. president emmanuel macron has now cancelled his scheduled visit to germany as a result of the unrest. our paris correspondent lucy williamson has the latest. nanterre, where nahel was buried today, was littered with notices of his death. messages of rage in burnt—out vehicles, backed up by graffiti, "god saw it all". we joined the crowd outside the cemetery. the message tojournalists — get a camera out at your peril. even filming on phones there was banned. no snapchat, no insta, we were told.

public interest grating against privatise. the funeral marks the end of nahel�*s short life here in nanterre but the story of his death lives on. he's been adopted as a symbol by people across the country, as here at home, his mother buries her son. we met this woman in nanterre earlier this week. she didn't want to be identified. she told us she witnessed nahel�*s death and knew him a little. "the violence his death has triggered isn't helpful", she says. translation: burning everything, schools, town halls - it's useless. i everything they're doing, the parents will pay the price. but if there are riots, it's because the police are looking for it. when they check young people's ids ten times a day, it's irritating. rioting continued last night. the southern cities of marseille and lyon lit up by burning vehicles, and fireworks aimed directly at police.

the government said dozens of police stations were attacked across the country and over 1,000 people arrested. in nanterre, the epicentre of this earthquake, rioters patrolled the streets with petrol cans and molotov cocktails. starting fires is one way of drawing out the police. the prayers in nanterre today were for nahel. at night, the demands of some here are forjustice. the prayers of others are for peace. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. let's cross live to paris and my colleague rajini vaidyanathan. another night, and people here in paris and across france are bracing themselves for more unrest. we were in the centre of paris earlier, and we saw police being mobilised. we are anticipating that there will be many more police out on the streets

throughout the evening. we're in the area near nanterre, and we are being told by the authorities they're planning to mobilise around 16,000 officers, a similar number to what we saw across the country on the streets last night. the country's interior minister said a little bit more about that earlier. translation: the interior ministry is mobilising the same number - of forces tonight everywhere in the country, meaning 45,000 police officers mobilised with the same resources. i think that everyone has understood that the state will not back down. the message of responsibility to youth given to parents is very important. hearing there that the state won't back down. could a state of emergency be declared? that is distinct possibility now, isn't it? it is something that is definitely on the table. that means that gatherings would be banned and

curfews would be put in place, and where hearing already tonight that in marseille where there has been trouble in the last couple of nights, police have already been firing tear gas at crowds of protesters, and we will have more on that story as we get it. but it gives you an idea ofjust how the authorities are doing what they say they need to do to quell this unrest. of course, there are underlying reasons why so many people are taking part in these violent protests, and some of the protesters that we have spoken to say that they will continue to take to the streets unless their concerns are addressed, and their concerns are addressed, and their concerns are primarily relating to the relationship between the police and people particularly from minority communities. many people we have spoken to in nanterre which is a diverse neighbourhood not too far from where i am say that they are targeted by the police, and that was backed up by what we heard from the united nations yesterday, who said

that the french police needed to deal with deep rooted problems of racism and discrimination. france's government in response to the un said that those accusations were unfounded. but certainly people who are taking to the streets in these violent protests, many of them teenagers, feel very strongly about that, and about other issues, about inequality and opportunity, and so something really needs to change for them to stop this protest and there is violence. . ., , them to stop this protest and there is violence-— is violence. ra'ini in paris, thank ou. twitter�*s owner, elon musk, has announced temporary limits on the number of posts users can read each day. mr musk said the move was aimed at tackling what he called extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation. throughout saturday, people around the world have reported problems accessing twitter. many have been faced with a message saying they'd exceeded a rate limit.

live now to los angeles. let's speak to taylor lorenz. she's a techonology columnist with washington post. welcome to you. what is going on, explain why elon musk has done this. well, basically it is unclear why he's doing it. he is claiming that he's doing it. he is claiming that he needs to limit things because the data costs are getting crazy. we know that he basically fired the majority of engineers and product people working on sustaining the site, so many people think that this might be his way of covering up sustainability and infrastructure issues with twitter itself. so what is it mean in _ issues with twitter itself. so what is it mean in reality? _ issues with twitter itself. so what is it mean in reality? it _ issues with twitter itself. so what is it mean in reality? it is - is it mean in reality? it is limiting the number of tweets that people without a verified account can see, isn't it?— can see, isn't it? actually people with verified _ can see, isn't it? actually people with verified accounts _ can see, isn't it? actually people with verified accounts are - can see, isn't it? actually people with verified accounts are also i with verified accounts are also limited, so everyone on the platform is limited and the amount of tweets they can see, and everyone is subject to a very small limit. it is 600 tweets for non—verified users and then i think its 6004 verified,

which is extremely quick when you consider how many times you scroll the timeline a couple of times, that can go buy really quickly, so it is going to put time limits on how often people can use twitter. i often people can use twitter. i think most of us in the newsroom here have already been impacted. what is this going to do for his business, though? how long is it going to continue for, do we think? this is catastrophic for his business. it is hard to understand why a tech ceo would do this. as we know, every single other social platform is focused on boosting engagement, not threatening engagement. twitter has already lost 76% of its value since elon musk took the helm, so i think this could take it even further. is took the helm, so i think this could take it even further.— take it even further. is there any suggestion _ take it even further. is there any suggestion that _ take it even further. is there any suggestion that he _ take it even further. is there any suggestion that he is _ take it even further. is there any suggestion that he is using - take it even further. is there any suggestion that he is using this | take it even further. is there any. suggestion that he is using this as a way to get people to pay for subscription, because if you pay and you are verified, you can see more tweets? , , ., , �* ., , tweets? yes, but it doesn't really make sense _ tweets? yes, but it doesn't really make sense because _ tweets? yes, but it doesn't really make sense because you - tweets? yes, but it doesn't really make sense because you are - tweets? yes, but it doesn't really make sense because you are alsoj make sense because you are also limited in how many tweets, so i think he is trying to maybe get a

few people to pay, but the majority of users on twitter don't post tweets, they only consume, so for instance if you're a sports fan, i feel like a lot of sports fans like to follow along with a game. you are going to see thousands of tweets over the course of a soccer game or a basketball game, and so even paying, you are still limited. so it doesn't really incentivise people. if there was no limit for paid subscribers, that would make a lot more sense. that is why i think this is probably an infrastructure issue. and i guess it is not like twitter users have any alternative, there isn't anywhere else to go. twitter isn't anywhere else to go. twitter is where it's at.— is where it's at. well, i think less and less- — is where it's at. well, i think less and less. there _ is where it's at. well, i think less and less. there has _ is where it's at. well, i think less and less. there has been - is where it's at. well, i think less and less. there has been a - is where it's at. well, i think less and less. there has been a lot i is where it's at. well, i think less and less. there has been a lot of| and less. there has been a lot of breaking news recently for instance all of the stuff with russia last weekend on the titanic submarine, all of that stuff in the discussion around this breaking news hence has actually been moving towards tiktok. i think tiktok has become the

default real—time platform that people go to to learn about what is happening in the world, and it is also where users are more incentivised to share that content. for instance if you saw something crazy on the side of the road, you are far more likely to post about that on tiktok these days than twitter. i that on tiktok these days than twitter. ~ , , that on tiktok these days than twitter. ~' , , ., , ., twitter. i think it depends on your ace. twitter. i think it depends on your age- taylor. _ twitter. i think it depends on your age. taylor, thank— twitter. i think it depends on your age. taylor, thank you _ twitter. i think it depends on your age. taylor, thank you very - twitter. i think it depends on your| age. taylor, thank you very much. 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. i was joined earlier by cultural historian nanchouwe, who has co—edited seven books on public history of dutch slavery. i asked her how important this speech is. it was truly, i think, an historic moment, which was also felt by the crowd gathered there. there was a formal crowd, formally invited crowd of dignitaries there.

but behind that group, there was a larger group of, you know, just common citizens of several parts of the netherlands who had come in. i heard some people had already got up at 5am to hear the king speak. and many people were actually surprised and were really wanting to hear... they wanted to hear it, to believe it. and when he said it, you could really feel a wave of emotion going through the crowd. and people started clapping and cheering, and yeah, it was quite historical. what impact do you think it will actually have now? is it, although obviously words are important, will the reverberations go further than that? yeah. i think that's something we can answer in two ways. symbolically, i think it's very important for many descendants of enslaved people. they see the king as someone who carries the heritage of the enslavers themselves.

it was his ancestors, of course, who were also deeply involved, as head of the state, but also those who could benefit from the investments of the colonial regime. but we're also, of course, talking about reparations right now. and the government is, well, for the first time, i would say, also moving towards more financial reparations, but also taking care that it is something that is taken up in several sectors of society. and this could only happen through the push of activists who've been lobbying and fighting for this recognition for decades. yeah, there was a report, a government funded report released two weeks ago about the links between the state and slavery, wasn't there?

what were the key points from that? i think it was already mentioned in your introduction. half a billion euros were earned and that's new information for us because, yeah, we don't have this data yet. the king has ordered, last december, for historians to actually look into the archives of his royal family which are normally shut down. so we'll see the results of that in two and a half years. but what was also said in that study that you mentioned is that there is a very deep interconnectedness between indian ocean slavery and transatlantic slave trade. in the dutch case, both those the sea in the east india company and the west, india company, both were in it very, very deeply. and for two and one half centuries.

now it's time for a look at today's sport with olly foster. thank you very much. australia's cricketers are still in a strong position heading into the final day of the second ashes test at lord's. they need six wickets to go 2—0 up in the series, england another 257 runs for them to pull off an unlikely victory. australia were bowled out for 325 in their second innings leaving england needing 371 runs for victory, which would be a test record for a successful run chase at lord's. but england lost four early wickets, before ben stokes and ben duckett toughed it out to the close. 114-4. well, duckett might feel fortunate that he's still at the crease. he was caught by mitchell starc at the end of the day it looked to be a clean catch out on the boundary but he grounded the ball as he slid, with umpires stating he was �*not in control of his body'.

so ducket was given a repreive much to the tourists annoyance. it was the third umpire's interpretation of it. starc felt like he had complete control, but the ball and hand touch the ground, so that is the decision. i think we have seen different ones in the _ i think we have seen different ones in the course of this game, and different— in the course of this game, and different decisions have been given, so i different decisions have been given, so i really— different decisions have been given, so i really don't understand, i really— so i really don't understand, i really don't know what has gone on. your initial — really don't know what has gone on. your initial reaction was that it was _ your initial reaction was that it was clean, _ your initial reaction was that it was clean, but maybe it was a bit different — well, england and australia are also playing each other in the women's ashes — with the first t20 of the multi—format series under way right now at edgbaston. england really have to win, having lost the only test match of the series. they rallied to 153—7 off their 20 overs — sophia dunkley made a half century, but it was a quickfire 40 from amyjones that saved their innings. australia have just

started their chase. after the ashes, attention will turn to the one day world cup which starts in october but for the first time the two—time champions west indies won't be taking part. that's after they lost their must—win match against scotland in the world cup qualifying tournament set 182 to win, scotland chased down their target with more than six overs to spare — winning by 7 wickets. they must now beat hosts zimbabwe and the netherlands to have any chance of reaching the world cup. but it's all over for the windies. there was more success for max verstappen ahead of sunday's austrian grand prix — but his victory in the sprint race wasn't completely straightforward — thanks to his teammate sergio perez. the mexican started second on the grid — but took an early lead — avoiding verstappen and the pit wall. then verstappen felt perez had forced him off the track, so returned the favour shortly after. verstappen showed his

annoyance post—race, but insisted there were no issues between the pair. the third round of golf�*s rocket mortgage classic is under way in detroit — home favourite lucas glover is the clubhouse leader on 14 under. elsewhere, it's tight heading into the final round of the british masters. this is being played at the belfry. england's james morrison is one of six players sharing the lead. his compatriots oliver wilson here and andy sullivan are also involved, all are on 7—under par. it could be an exciting final round. and it was a day to remember for the yates family as identical twins adam and simon went toe—to—toe in the opening stage of this year's tour de france. despite being on different teams they broke way on the finish into bilbao and it was adam who came out on top — taking the lead in the final yards to secure a famous one—two — and his first tour stage win.

two—time winner tadej pogacar claimed third in a mini—group sprint. the next two stages start in spain before the grand tour moves into france. you know, iwore you know, i wore yellow a couple of years ago, but it was different circumstances. it didn't feel great, it was more about the time penalty. and then i ended up with thejersey this time. i put my hand in the air, and here i am. so really happy, and honestly got some extra seconds as well, so i think for us it was a perfect day. and that's all the sport for now. thank you, we will see you then. a space mission to try and solve some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, has launched from cape canaveral in florida. the euclid spacecraft will make a 3d map of the cosmos to help scientists understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy. our science editor, rebecca morelle reports. three, two, one... heading into space to solve some of the most profound cosmic mysteries. the european space agency's euclid

spacecraft is on its way. what we can see in the cosmos makes up a tiny fraction of what's really there. euclid will aim to shed light on what's called the dark universe. the challenge is, we can't see it and scientists don't really know what it is. 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. the spacecraft 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, 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. and what about the other missing part of the cosmos, 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 for ever and accelerate? is itjust going to 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 not only where we came from but where we're going in this universe. it will take the spacecraft six years to complete its map of the sky but scientists say the wait

will be worth it. rebecca morelle, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news now. police in kenya say 52 people are now known to have been killed in friday's road accident at a busyjunction. it's feared yet more may be still trapped in the wreckage after a lorry carrying a shipping container lost control and ploughed into multiple vehicles and pedestrians at londiani junction, near the western town of kericho. sri lanka's parliament has approved a plan to restructure part of its $42 billion of domestic debt. the finance minister said the move was essential if the country was to meet the terms of its imf bailout. sri lanka secured the bailout in march, after defaulting on its foreign debt, causing an economic and political crisis. all wagner group signs and logos have been removed from the russian mercenary group's former offices in st petersburg. the building was raided by police onjune the 24th during wagner's short—lived mutiny.

under the deal that ended the rebellion, its fighters have been given three options — tojoin their leader yevgeny prigozhin in exile in belarus, to be integrated into russia's regular armed forces or to return to their families. just stop oil protestors have carried out their threat to disrupt the pride parade here in london. it's the uk's largest, with tens of thousands of people taking part — but this afternoon protestors sat in front of the festival's coca—cola float, branding it "the world's worst plastic polluter". meghan owen reports. today, london streets were splashed with colour. it started on a good note. millions flocked to the capital to celebrate pride. but, for environment activist groupjust stop oil, this was a moment to take a stance. after blocking the road in front of the coca—cola bus

midway through the parade, to protest what they called high polluting sponsors, seven campaigners were arrested by police. all i say to those from just stop oil who ran the protest, are you really going to protest an event both celebrating but also protesting in relation to lgbtq rights? you may be in danger of driving public opinion away rather than more people joining the cause. anybody who tries to disrupt that parade is really letting down those people who use the space once a year to come together and celebrate and protest for their rights. after a few minutes, the parade was back on track. it's amazing, it's amazing. i mean, there is so many people here. you can see the costumes, there is all of our fabulous masqueraders dotted around today, so yeah, we're just here to enjoy ourselves. this is my first pride since covid and it feels wonderful, so back on the street. over 30,000 people are taking part in the parade, and up to 1.5 million people are expected to come

to london to celebrate pride. both locally but also travelling from far and wide. i am actually canadian and i have never felt at home more than pride in london. i'm from cornwall originally, i've got my pasty in my rucksack for lunch. london pride is the closest and the biggest pride to me. obviously, norwich has their own pride at the end ofjuly, on the 29th if anybody wants to come, but there is something about london that is so special. expected to be a record—breaking year in numbers, it is clear that nothing could rain on this pride's parade. megan owen, bbc news. there have been more pride celebrations in madrid, and there has been a pretty unique race there as well. dozens of people, most of them men, put on their high heels and raced down the streets of madrid, as part of the cities pride celebrations.

heels have to be at least ten centimetres high — and runners must cross the finish line with a purse in hand, and their lipstick applied. very carefully! no broken ankles there. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. last month was record—breakingly warm and dry for many areas. this month starts on a very different note. fresher and blustery showers around thanks to the low pressure as we had to part of the weekend it will be pretty similar to today. the end last few hours of saturday with low pressure system to the north of the uk, lots of isobars on the charts in here and we head through the night we will see further rain affecting northern scotland.

blustery showers furthest south and fewer than what we had to the day and dry spells altogether at the southern and eastern areas are quite a cool night to come. towns and cities cooler than that in rural spot. the centre of low pressure moving toward scandinavia. we've still got north—westerly winds and this the front bringing wet weather to the far north of scotland into the northern isles, some blustery showers of scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, west wales, south—west england and there is a chance the south—east of england should escape most of the showers. there could be the odd one moving through. good spells of sunshine where we will see temperatures up to 21—22 degrees. it's the mid to high teens further north. conditions look all right at lord's for the rest of the cricket there. variable cloud. some sunshine. quite breezy. top temperatures around 20—21 c. through sunday night, looks like any of the showers fade away toward southern and eastern areas will continue towards northern and western areas with more persistent rain the northern isles and the cooler night to come for the northern parts of the country in single digits quite widely there.

so monday we've still got area of low pressure influencing our weather and this feature may enhance the shower activity across ireland and travel so we start monday probably in a dry and bright note with some sunshine and clouds build, showers rattle their way in from the west across england and wales and we held onto the wet showery weather across the northern half of scotland. a quite unsettled day, i think. again, feeling on the cool side of the time of year. just about up to 21 degrees in the south—east given some good spells of sunshine and we could see some heavy movie thundery rain at times across england and wales as we had to tuesday and wednesday. just some and occasionally turning a little bit warmer towards the end of the week.

launches its euclid telescope this is bbc news. the headlines: extra police officers have been deployed across france, as fears of a fifth night of rioting grows. the widespread violence was sparked by the fatal police shooting of a 17—year—old boy, whose funeral was held earlier. twitter�*s owner, elon musk, has announced temporary limits on the number of posts users can read each day. mr musk said the move was aimed at tackling what he called extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation. the dutch king has made a personal apology for his country's role in slavery. king willem—alexander said not enough had been done to tackle the legacy of dutch involvement and asked for forgiveness. the european space agency
