by a police officer took place in the paris suburb of nanterre. the death of 17—year—old nahel during a traffic stop has sparked protests and looting in several french cities. these are scenes from friday night, as another 1,300 people were arrested. president emmanuel macron has now cancelled his scheduled visit to germany as a result of the unrest. and these are the latest images from paris, where police are conducting searches in the streets in anticipation of another night or unrest. authorities there say 37 arrests have been made for people caught "carrying a weapon". several other major cities have seen clashes with protesters. this is the scene on saturday in marseille, where police fired tear gas to dispurse crowds. some 16,000 officers are expected to be deployed nationwide. our paris correspondent lucy williamson has been following the story and brings us this report.

four days on, the death of a teenager in a paris suburb is still leaving its mark — 500 miles away in marseille. the government says violence across france was less intense last night, but looting and vandalism seemed to be spreading. translation: they entered the shop 50 times. - they went in and out. people had shopping carts. it's a catastrophe. i've never seen anything like it in my life. i can't find the words. translation: i'm 43 now and the country has been l deteriorating for years. frankly, it's unbearable. we can't go on like this. we really need to get to grips with the situation. tonight police moved quickly to disperse crowds gathering in the city, braced for a fifth night of violence. the interior minister said the state would not back down.

translation: the interior- ministry is mobilising the same number of forces tonight across the country — - 45,000 police officers, - with helicopters, specialist intervention units and| the republican guard. we will also considerably increase our forces- in marseille and lyon. nanterre, where17—year—old nahel was buried today, is littered with debris. messages of rage in the burnt—out vehicles and the graffiti — "god saw it all". nahel is everywhere here but you won't see his photo or hear his surname — kept private at the request of his family. at the cemetery too, public interest in nahel grated against private ties. the message to journalists here, get a camera out at your peril. even mourners were banned from filming on their phones. no snapchat, no insta, they 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. one woman who said she knew nahel a little told us the violence triggered by his death wasn't helpful. translation: burning everything, schools, i town halls, it's useless. but if they riot it's because the police are looking for it. when they check young people's id 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 prayers in nanterre today were for nahel, but there are other prayers here too, forjustice, or simply for peace. live now to our correspondent, rajini vaideeanarthan. rajini, bring us up to date with what the country is seeing tonight?

let us start with where i am which is in central paris, the champs—elysees. there is a huge police presence here. you can hear the sound of beeping horns, there are officers everywhere you look. you see over there in the distance, police officers, there are police officers, there are police vans as well. 0ver police officers, there are police vans as well. over on the horizon there, you can't see, our blue flashing lights that go all the way down this road. earlier in the day, when we were here, this place was packed with tourists, people having coffee out the street and now, we canjust move having coffee out the street and now, we can just move the camera down there, you can see more officers arriving. they are all going down one of the

side streets. here there has been a lot of police activity on the side streets of the champs—elysees. and the other side there, more police vans. this is a massive security operation that goes well beyond this part of france, this part of paris i should say, across france and the government says it has deployed some 16,000 police officers tonight. that is the same as the number they deployed last night. in anticipation of another evening of violence and there were some rumours and conversations on social media that there may be protesters gathering here, that's why we think there has been this beefed up presence, particularly here. on previous nights we have most of the violence focused in the suburb of nanterre where nahel was killed by a police officer. his

death of course marking these protests in the last few days. when you speak to people there in paris, you have also been there in nanterre, what do they tell you about how they feel about the protests and the subsequent unrest we have seen? of course, with anything like of course, with anything like this, people are divided. 0n this, people are divided. on one hand you have the protesters, the people who are taking to the streets violently, and in many cases, when you talk to people, they say the reason they come out on the streets was originally sparked by the killing of nahel. that opened up a wider disenchantment over the way they say the police, the police they say the police, the police they believe was meant to protect them but has not. particularly for minority communities. apologies, it is quite noisy here. they have

taken to the streets because they believe is racist and discriminatory and they want things to change and that accusation about the police being racists is one that was echoed by the united nations on friday. it's a charge the french government strongly deny. there refuted the statement from the un. but you have that strand of people who say, well, actually the protests do not happen, what will change? how many more nahels will there be? then you have the people whose businesses, shops and restaurants have been destroyed, people who have been sweeping up the glass because their shop fronts and officers have been smashed up. people who have been picking up the pieces after their buildings were ransacked and they say this needs to stop. then you have people like the people we have people like the people we have spoken to in nanterre who are not taking part in the violent protests but who sympathise with the reasons behind them, kind of the middle

ground there. but ultimately now, what will be a tricky balance for the government and indeed the protesters is the more this violence continues, the more damage and destruction thatis, the more damage and destruction that is, maybe some of those people in the middle ground who empathise and support those protests. saying, actually, we agree with your course but you had to stop this violence. we don't know what will pan out tonight here in paris. the night is still young because yesterday things really did heat up until three or four in the morning. there is intense violence in other parts of the country, including in marseille where police have been firing tear gas into the crowds to disperse them after clashes there. is this going to end anytime soon? that is anyone's guess. some are looking to the

government, particularly president macron, to take some sort of action. some saying it is time for him to declare a state of emergency so that he can contain this violence. that hasn't happened yet. 0thers saying, what he needs to do is reassure the protesters that he does understand their concerns and understands why they are taking to the streets but so far, we haven't heard from president macron since yesterday. we do know of course that he has cancelled that planned summit and he was due to go to germany.— planned summit and he was due to go to germany. from the very busy champs-elysees, _ to go to germany. from the very busy champs-elysees, thank - to go to germany. from the very| busy champs-elysees, thank you busy champs—elysees, thank you so much, we do appreciate it. france's interior minister said he would send extra forces and equipment to three cities which saw the worst of the rioting last night — marseille, lyon and grenoble, whose mayor, eric piolle, spoke to me earlier. thank you for being with us here. to begin with, tell us what has the situation been in

your city the past few nights and what are you expecting? what are you preparing for tonight? what are you preparing for toniaht? n . , what are you preparing for toniaht? �* . . , ., what are you preparing for toniaht? �* ~ . , ., ., tonight? actually we had one niuht last tonight? actually we had one night last night _ tonight? actually we had one night last night which - tonight? actually we had one night last night which was - night last night which was really difficult. the first three nights after the death of this young man, nahel, on tuesday were 0k and this night for now, it's ok as well. tuesday were ok and this night for now, it's ok as well.- for now, it's ok as well. what did ou for now, it's ok as well. what did you see? _ for now, it's ok as well. what did you see? last _ for now, it's ok as well. what did you see? last night - for now, it's ok as well. what did you see? last night i - for now, it's ok as well. what| did you see? last night i spent five hours _ did you see? last night i spent five hours in _ did you see? last night i spent five hours in the _ did you see? last night i spent five hours in the city _ did you see? last night i spent five hours in the city centre, i five hours in the city centre, from 10pm to 3am and there were teams, organise teams that went there for something like a0 shops within the city centre. they were shops like technology stores, trademarked stores.

those boys and girls, young people. those boys and girls, young --eole. . , . people. has the french government _ people. has the french government been - people. has the french | government been giving people. has the french - government been giving you people. has the french _ government been giving you more support? do you feel adequately prepared? support? do you feel adequately reared? . support? do you feel adequately “reared? . ., ., , prepared? there are various thins prepared? there are various things there. _ prepared? there are various things there. these - prepared? there are various things there. these short i prepared? there are various i things there. these short term things there. these short term thing that i ask for is more security forces for this evening, to one of the ministers that i know quite well. we have some more for this night. but the framework we are in is the difficult thing. in the last 20 years in france, i do think various governments lost control on what it has asked of the police. so the framework, which is the basic things we ask of the police, is not the correct one and we lost this connection between police and population. they are not seen any more

as a public service asking for peace and managing the peace, but it's really more a confrontation with the youth in popular neighbourhoods. i want to ask you more about that because when you take a look at the statement which was put out from the main police union, saying that this is time to fight against those protesting. at one point in that statement, calling them pass. what do you make of that? it's very difficult. the police is first a cooperation and unions are miles away from where they should be. it is a state tool to maintain peace within the community. it is also a tool to maintain order

but in the last 20 years, it is a cooperation with the unions dictating their rules and maintaining the orders but not in the right way because we saw a number of problems are increasing. you should step back a little bit and have discussions about what we should ask the police, that's really critical. dealing as well with problems of discrimination for a lot of people in france, all non—white people in france, all non—white people i would say that are under discrimination and we should as well work on the education side of it, our ability to live together because we will continue to live together. we are one country and we will continue to live together. i country and we will continue to live together.— live together. i want to ask about the _ live together. i want to ask about the root _ live together. i want to ask about the root cause i live together. i want to ask. about the root cause because live together. i want to ask- about the root cause because we saw the tragic death, the killing of nahel but do you think the issue goes further

than that? do you sympathise with these young people taking to the streets? i with these young people taking to the streets?— to the streets? i understand the are to the streets? i understand they are very _ to the streets? i understand they are very angry - to the streets? i understand they are very angry and i i to the streets? i understand | they are very angry and i can understand that if you are one of those, if you were in the street, all people will think you have done something bad. if i am running you have done something bad. if iam running in you have done something bad. if i am running in the street, people will think i'm trying to catch a bus. there is some basic discrimination they are facing as well at school, as well as the neighbourhood because those neighbourhoods are an area where more than 50% of the people are below the poverty level. there are various reasons for this so we should manage the long—term reason and also the short to middle term reason with what we asked the police for, so we can gain some trust again within the country otherwise we just place was within people and it

cannot work, there is no path through that.— through that. the united nations has _ through that. the united nations has criticised i through that. the united i nations has criticised france over police violence. 0n over police violence. on twitter you said work needs to be done on policing in france. what needs to happen in your opinion and do you think president macron is taking the right tone here? we president macron is taking the right tone here?— right tone here? we have not seen macron _ right tone here? we have not seen macron working - right tone here? we have not seen macron working with i right tone here? we have not i seen macron working with some continuity on this. the feeling we have is that he led the game to this minister of interior affairs which to me was really dangerous. there we should work again on training for the police, we should work on the framework to maintain order, work on what we ask for and we should work as well on how we control them because today, the controlling organisation for police is depending, reporting to police. this is a complex

situation so we need to work on for this but that the present time, the minister of interior affairs is reallyjust trying to fight. his words are we want to fight. his words are we want to fight. his words are we want to fight and itjust doesn't produce any results, good results for france so we should step back and move and all the words coming from worldwide nations from europe, telling us we are doing wrong for quite a long time now, we should hear that and say, ok, we have done something wrong, we can change that now. ., ~ , ., ., , that now. thank you for being with us. and we will be keeping you up to date on the latest developments in france right here on bbc news, plus, we have continuing live coverage on the bbc news website and app, where ourteam is bringing you updates, as well as full

background and analysis. to ukraine now, where president volodymyr zelensky warned that a "serious threat" remains at the russian—occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. president zelenskysaid that he believes that russia is "technically ready" to provoke a localised explosion at the facility. earlier he met with spain's prime minister, pedro sanchez in kyiv. mr sanchez said the eu would support ukraine in its war against russia no matter the price. he also said that his visit shows the eu's �*unequivocal�* support for ukraine's membership bid. meanwhile, ukraine's counteroffensive against russian forces continues. but america's top military officer — general mark milley — says he is suprised things are "going slower than people had predicted," but added ukraine is making steady progress. is it happening slower than computers might have said or other people might have said? yes. what i had said was this would take six to eight, ten weeks, it's going to be very difficult, it's going to be very long, and it's going to be very, very bloody and nobody should have any illusions

about any of that. ukraine is fighting for its life. it's an existential fight for ukraine and they are fighting against a very significant country of iao million people, nine time zones, a big army, lots of munitions and so on. ukraine is fighting for their life. we are giving them as much help as humanly possible, but at the end of the day, ukrainian soldiers are assaulting through minefields and into trenches and this is literally a fight for their life. it's been nearly two months since hollywood's screenwriters went on strike and actors may be just days away from joining them on the picket line. in the latest developments, the screen actors guild, and major studios and streaming services, have agreed to continue discussions in an attempt to reach a new contract in order to avert a second labour strike. both sides have agreed to extend their current labour contract tilljuly 12th, allowing them more time to work out a deal. a walkout by 11,000 screenwriters, which began in may, has already shut down

a wide range of tv productions and delayed the shooting of new films. the 160,000 members of the actors' union, including major stars like meryl streep and jennifer lawrence, are threatening to strike over pay for streaming content and safeguards around the use of artificial intelligence. live now to fimmaker and authorjustine bateman, joining us live from los angeles. great to have you with us, thanks for coming on the programme. the writer �*s strike in hollywood has been going on for months now. you have been on the picket lines, what is the sense, is there being any progress made?— the sense, is there being any progress made? progress as far as negotiations _ progress made? progress as far as negotiations go, _ progress made? progress as far as negotiations go, not - progress made? progress as far as negotiations go, not that i as negotiations go, not that anyone is aware of because the amp tp, the lawyers that anp tp, the lawyers that represent the streamers and studios have been busy negotiating with the screen actors guild. 0nly negotiating with the screen actors guild. only after they are done with a particular

union while they move on to the next union. i am not under the impression that they are going to have talks with the wga until after the 12th but that is my assumption based on the past. is my assumption based on the ast. ., . , .,, is my assumption based on the ast, ., ., , ., , past. how are people feeling? are they feeling _ past. how are people feeling? are they feeling resolute? i past. how are people feeling? | are they feeling resolute? the writers? yes. there are many things that are being asked for that are so long incoming. you can imagine things that have gone on in our world in the last few years has made it hard to stand up and say we will have a labour strike, particularly in 2000 and 2023. or 2021. particularly in 2000 and 2023. 0r2021. now particularly in 2000 and 2023. or 2021. now is the time we are bringing up some issues that i wish had been dealt with years ago but now is the time. fine

wish had been dealt with years ago but now is the time. one of the points _ ago but now is the time. one of the points of— ago but now is the time. one of the points of contention - the points of contention concerns over artificial intelligence, i want to create something you have said in the past. you said, i think ai has no place in hollywood at all. to mean, tech should solve problems humans have using chat gtp or using any software to write screenplays, using that in place of a writer is not solving a problem. it might be fair to say that some people see this as an issue of the future but how do you think it is an issue of today and what do you think are the consequences of ai that the film industry is feeling right now? ., h ., film industry is feeling right now? ., �*, ., now? no, it's not something... you can read — now? no, it's not something... you can read books— now? no, it's not something... you can read books from i now? no, it's not something... you can read books from the i now? no, it's not something... | you can read books from the 70s if you want to see some futuristic idea of what ai and will do. everything happening now is very similar to what he was writing about. this is tech

thatis was writing about. this is tech that is happening today. if anyone wants to see demos of what is possible for actors, writers, they can go to my twitter account. writers, they can go to my twitteraccount. it writers, they can go to my twitter account. it will crater the structure of the entertainment business and the structure of many industries that depend on human labour, human thought. i think it's really the wrong direction for our society. really the wrong direction for oursociety. i really the wrong direction for our society. i am sure there are some ways that generative ai is useful, the arts is not the right place for it. just cive us the right place for it. just give us some _ the right place for it. just give us some examples. | the right place for it. just give us some examples. you mentioned someone on twitter but about how it is already been used in this industry. when you see something like fast and the furious ten or the last matrix, many of these

actors, lucas films does this also for their star wars projects, they will get a digital scan of the actor and they will clone the stand in, do a face replacement and you can see some of those demos on my twitter account or instagram account. when you look at that, you can just use your imagination to see how they can implement this, how they can go back into old films and change faces, change races. make everybody in star wars and american indian, anything like this. so now you are treating film and series so poorly, and you are changing, it would be like if i went into the louvre

and took out a paint set and wanted to change the medici. you can't do that. there is the capacity that exists and it has been talked about two friends of mine that they will go back in, scanned the actors and change the pilot for a tv series. he is years forward in the show. things like that. that is fascinating and i'm sure many people watching movies to date may not even be aware of those developments. thank you so much for speaking to us, justine bateman, live from los angeles. good to have you with us. you are watching bbc news, i am helena humphrey in washington, dc. more on our website. i will have more for you at the top of the hour so do stay with us if you can. goodbye for now.

norfolk hello there. it looks like this cool and blustery wind will continue to blow through the rest of this weekend. at least, though, we're seeing some sunshine. this was the scene yesterday afternoon at sutton coldfield in the midlands, further north, and particularly in the north and west of scotland. this is where we've had more cloud and some rather frequent and even heavy showers as well. we've got showers in the same area at the moment. the blustery wind coming in from the west or northwest. and it's not particularly warm because the area is originating from around iceland or even greenland. these are the temperatures we're starting with early on sunday. so double figure temperatures, but a fresher feel for england

and wales than it was at the same time on saturday, we'll see some sunshine to begin with. the cloud will bubble up. it's mostly fair weather cloud for england and wales. the odd like shower may be for north wales, more likely in northwest england, some showers developing in northern ireland and particularly again in scotland where some could be heavy and possibly even thundery as well. the strongest winds will be in scotland. blustery everywhere, temperatures on the cool side. 17 scotland, northern ireland to a high of 22 in the south east of england. and even as we head into the beginning of next week, we've still got those rather cool and blustery winds around as well. that weather front continues to bring some wet weather in the far north of scotland. elsewhere, there'll be some sunshine, but we're likely to find more showers breaking out. and we could see a spell of wet weather pushing its way eastwards over the irish sea and eastwards across england and wales to give some light showers for the first day of wimbledon. and those temperatures are still below par for this time of the year, 16 to 21 celsius. now we're in cooler air for the next few days. the jet stream is to the south of the uk. the position of the jet and the strength of the jet

is going to be crucial because it could develop this area of rain here into a deeper area of low pressure that could bring some stronger winds as well as some wet weather. a lot of uncertainty about the details. it has to be said for tuesday. we've got some rain moving down across scotland and northern ireland and some showers now. it looks like the wetter weather will push eastwards across more southern and central parts of england with sunnier skies later in wales and the southwest. but things could well change. but what isn't changing is just how chilly it is going to be, 16 to 20 degrees, and it's going to stay cool for much of the week ahead after tuesday. it does look a bit drier. if you're looking for any warmth, you probably have to wait until friday in the south east.
