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 private ties. 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. how are things looking at there at the moment?— how are things looking at there at the moment? well, at the moment thins are the moment? well, at the moment things are mostly _ the moment? well, at the moment things are mostly across _ the moment? well, at the moment things are mostly across the - the moment? well, at the moment things are mostly across the city i things are mostly across the city are fairly quiet, but it is early days. when i was speaking to people backin days. when i was speaking to people back in the studio around this time yesterday and the day before, it was the same, it was quite calm, and then things really did ramp up in then things really did ramp up in the early hours of the morning. we

are already getting reports from other parts of the country, for example the southern city of marseille, that there have been some serious disturbances there, with police firing tear gas into the crowd. so in some parts of the country, things are already ramping up country, things are already ramping up in terms of the violence and the unrest. now, we know that there is a large police presence on the streets across the country as well as here in paris, some 16,000 police out again for another night, and earlier we heard a little more from the country's interior minister. let's hear what he had to say. 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.

that was the french interior minister speaking earlier. public transport suspended in many places, as it has been in the last few nights. as we were saying for the last few days, the country bracing itself for another night of unrest. so, rajini, what is in place at the moment to try and keep those who don't want to be involved safe, and those who have to protect their own businesses and homes? weill. those who have to protect their own businesses and homes?— those who have to protect their own businesses and homes? well, at the moment, businesses and homes? well, at the moment. it's — businesses and homes? well, at the moment, it's what _ businesses and homes? well, at the moment, it's what we've _ businesses and homes? well, at the moment, it's what we've said. - businesses and homes? well, at the| moment, it's what we've said. we've got this increased police presence, increased security presence, on the streets. there has been some discussion about whether more needs to be done to curb the violence, whether a state of emergency needs to be introduced by the government,

and they're not imposed very often. i think the last time france had a state of emergency imposed was after the bataclan attacks. that would mean there would be curfews and bans on public gatherings, but to many thatis on public gatherings, but to many that is seen as a nuclear option, it might actually provoke people further, who are already angry and upset. i think for other people, they would say, the way to stop and contain this unrest is actually to deal with the core issue, which is getting people onto the streets in the first place. and that is what they say is police heavy handedness and profiling, racial profiling. you talk to people who have been at the marches in the protests, and they will say that they believe that the police unfairly target minorities. that is something that the authorities deny. they dispute it. but until that conversation is really addressed, it is likely that

these protests will continue, and i should just say is i'm speaking to you, i can smell strong smoke and burning wafting towards me. if it's anything like the previous nights when we've been out, it could be that fires are starting to be set in the vicinity to where we are. we are not very far from nanterre, which of course is where a lot of the violence has been in the last few nights, and it is where the teenager nahel was killed by a police officer. ., nahel was killed by a police officer. . ~ ., , ., officer. ra'ini, i know you will continue officer. rajini, i know you will continue to _ officer. rajini, i know you will continue to update _ officer. rajini, i know you will continue to update us - officer. rajini, i know you will continue to update us over i officer. rajini, i know you will| continue to update us over the coming hours. for now, though, thank you. 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 dollars 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 a historic moment, which was also felt by the crowd gathered there. there was a formal crowd, formally invited crowd for 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 yes, it was quite historical. cheering. and yes, it was quite historical-— cheering. and yes, it was quite historical. ~ . ., , ., ~ historical. what impact do you think it will actually _ historical. what impact do you think it will actually have _ historical. what impact do you think it will actually have now? _ historical. what impact do you think it will actually have now? althoughl it will actually have now? although words are important, will the

reverberations go further than that? yeah, i think that is something we can answer in two ways. symbolically, i think it is very important for many descendants of enslaved people, they see the king as someone who carries the heritage of the enslave us themselves. it is his ancestors, of course, who were all so deeply involved as the head of the state, but also those who could benefit from the investments of the colonial regime. but we're also talking about reparations right now, and the government has for the first time moving towards financial reparations, and also taking care that it

reparations, and also taking care thatitis reparations, and also taking care that it is something that is taken up that it is something that is taken up in several sectors of society. and this could only happen through the push of activists who have been lobbying and fighting for this recognition for decades. twitter�*s owner, elon musk, has announced temporary limits on the number of posts users can read each day. 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. jack surfleet takes a look into those new measures. lots of talk about twitter at the moment. let's take stock of why and what we know so far. earlier on, elon musk said this. to address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits. we will go on to the limits in a moment, but first let's talk about data scraping. it involves gathering

data scraping. it involves gathering data from different websites harvested for information and his brought into one place, and you might recognise that from searching for insurance deals or holidays. elon musk doesn't want that happening on twitter. if you are a verified user and you pay for your account every month, you will be able to view 8000 posts per day. if you don't, and that is the majority of users on twitter, you will be able to view 800 posts per day. if you don't yet have a twitter account, but you want one, and you start one up today, you will be able to view 400 tweets per day. let's just very briefly talk about what verification is. it used to mean those who were celebrities in big organisations could prove they are who they say they are. but when elon musk took over, twitter blue was introduced, which means that any user can subscribe to this scheme and get one of those little blue check marks and become verified on

twitter, and there is a lot of speculation over whether this move is another one to drive people to that subscription model, because of course we saw other features introduced like longer videos, users being able to post longer videos, and editing tweets. and now they will be able to view more tweets than any other user. if you don't have access to it, you might be greeted by this message. you might not be able to see it, but i will read it out for you. it says, sorry, but you are rate limited, please wait a few moments then try again. i had this message after only a few minutes from when the measures were brought in. if you don't have a twitter account at all, you will be greeted with this. previously, if you search something online like bbc news twitter, you might be able to see the bbc news twitter account with just a few of the bbc news tweets. now you'll be greeted with this green, so if you don't have a twitter account, you won't be able to access any information on twitter. elon musk says that these

measures are only temporary, but we don't know how long they will last for, and how long users will put up with them for. gerald darmanin taking ——jack —— jack surfleet taking us through all of that. now it's time for a look at today's sport with olly foster. hello from the bbc sport centre australia's cricketers are still in a strong position heading into the final day of the second ashes test at lords. they need six wickets to go 2—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 lords — but england lost four early wickets — before ben stokes and ben duckett toughed it out to the close . 114-4. duckett, who is unbeaten on 50, 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". that is one of the laws of the game. so duckett 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 course of this game, and different decisions have been given, so i really don't understand, i really don't know what has gone on. your initial reaction was that it was clean, but maybe it was a bit different. australia's women are chasing 154 at edgbaston to win the first t20 in their ashes series against england. it's a multi—format series and australia have already won the one—off test, so need just two wins from six white ball matches to retain the ashes. england were put

into bat and they made 153—7 off their 20 overs — opener sophia dunkley made a half century , but it was a quickfire 40 from amyjones that saved their innings. in response australia are on top of the run rate required. 113—2 off 14 overs the one day cricket world cup starts in october — but for the first time, west indies won't be taking part. that's after the two—time champions lost their must—win match against scotland in the qualifying tournament on saturday. set 182 to win, scotland chased down their target with more than six overs to spare — winning by seven 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 team—mate 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 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 seven under par. 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. and that's all the sport for now. olly, thanks very much. 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 a road accident on friday. 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 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. 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. here in the uk, consumer groups are warning that many people will still struggle with their energy bills, even as new prices come into effect that are likely to save households hundreds of pounds a year. typical annual costs

will be reduced to £2,074 — a drop of £426 a year. but that's still much higher than the pre—pandemic levels. iced coffees from high street chains can be more sugary than chocolate and fizzy drinks, according to research by the consumer lobby group which? frappes and frappuccinos from costa, starbucks and caffe nero were compared, and some were found to have exceptionally high levels of sugar. shefalee loth is a nutritionist and the author of the study from which. we looked at a range of frappes and frapuccinos from high street chain such as starbucks or cafe nero, and we found that in just one drink, we

found up to 46 grams of sugar. that is more than 11 teaspoons of sugar, and i think consumers probably wouldn't expect to find that much in what they think is an iced coffee. 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 lgbtqi+ 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. meghan owen, bbc news. pride has also been taking place in madrid in spain, where dozens of people, most of the men, donned their high heels and raced down the street as part of the celebrations there. heels have to be at least 10 centimetres high — and runners must cross the finish line with a purse in hand,

and their lipstick applied. let's see these ones go for it. that is quite the race, and you can see that handbag there. and no broken ankles, i don't think! 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 sitting to the north of the uk, lots of isobars on the charts in here and as 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 for 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 celsius. 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 across the irish sea to move into england and wales.

so we start monday probably on 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.

this is bbc news. this is bbc news. the headlines: launches its euclid telescope the headlines: extra police officers have been deployed across france, as fears of a fifth night as fears of a fifth night of rioting grows. the widespread violence was sparked by the fatal police shooting of rioting grows. of a 17—year—old boy, whose funeral was held earlier. twitter�*s owner, elon musk, twitter�*s owner, elon musk, has announced temporary 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.
