interest in nahel. the message tojournalists — get a camera out at your peril. even filming on phones there was banned. no snapchat, no insta, we were told. 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. 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. cities across france from marseille to nanterre lit up by burning vehicles and fireworks aimed directly at police. the prayer in nanterre today were for nahel, but

there are other prayers here too, forjustice or simply for peace. lucy williamson reporting from paris. twitter�*s owner, elon musk, has announced temporary limits on the number of posts users can read each day. that's resulted in millions of users reporting problems accessing the social media site. mr musk said the move was aimed at tackling what he called extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation. here's the verdict of taylor lorenz, a technology columnist at the washington post. well, basically it is unclear why 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. 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 there any suggestion that he is using this as a way the head of america's intelligence agency, the cia, has said unhappiness in russia with the invasion of ukraine presents a once—in—a—generation chance to recruit more spies. william burns told a gathering in britain that disaffection was gnawing away at the russian leadership. the european space agency has launched its euclid telescope on a mission to produce an enormous 3—d map of the cosmos. euclid, which cost more than a billion dollars, 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.
