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 1,000 300 people were arrested. "1300. president emmanuel macron has cancelled his scheduled visit to germany as a result of the unrest. and these are some of the latest images from france where a massive police presence has kept the situation calmer than previous nights. some 16,000 officers have been deployed nationwide. meanwhile, authorities in paris say street searches have led to at least 37 arrests of people carrying a weapon. many of the protesters have been young people who say nahel�*s death has sparked anger over similar mistreatment at the hands of police. imagine if that had happened to my brother, my little or big brother because he refused to

stop. we should be safe with the police but we are scared of them. that is not normal. earlier, my colleague in paris rajini vaidyanathan described the scene on the champs elysees as police officers responded to a fifth night of unrest. you can hear the sound of beeping horns. there are officers everywhere you look. you can see over there in the distance, police officers, there's police vans as well. over in the horizon there, you can't see, are blue flashing lights that go all the way down this road. and earlier in the day when we were here, this place was packed with tourists, people having coffees out on the street, and now, actually, we can just move the camera down there, you can see more officers are now arriving in their riot helmets. they're all going down one of the side streets off here. there's been a lot of police activity on the side streets off here at the champs—elysees.

and on the other side there, more police vans. i mean, this is a massive security operation that goes 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 on bbc news. just to begin with, tell us what has the situation been in your city the past few and what are you expecting? what are you preparing for tonight? actually we had one — preparing for tonight? actually we had one night— preparing for tonight? actually we had one night last - preparing for tonight? actually we had one night last night - we had one night last night which was really difficult. the death of a young man, nahel. 0n death of a young man, nahel. on tuesday we are ok and that for now is ok as well.— tuesday we are ok and that for now is ok as well. what did you see last night? _

now is ok as well. what did you see last night? i _ now is ok as well. what did you see last night? i spent - now is ok as well. what did you see last night? i spent five - see last night? i spent five hours in — see last night? i spent five hours in the _ see last night? i spent five hours in the city _ see last night? i spent five hours in the city centre - see last night? i spent five | hours in the city centre from ten p.m.—3 am and organised teams that went there for something like a0 shops within the city centre. they were dedicated shops, technology and fine or trademark like lacoste and other trademarks for young people. both boys and girls, young people. people. both boys and girls, young morale-— people. both boys and girls, young people. has the fringe government _ young people. has the fringe government been _ young people. has the fringe government been giving - young people. has the fringe government been giving you | young people. has the fringe - government been giving you more support? do you feel adequately prepared? the a short—term thing is that i ask for more security forces for this evening, so to one of the ministers that i know quite well so we got some more for this night.

but the framework we are in is really the difficult thing meaning that in the last 20 years in france, i do think that various governments that went through lost control on what is asked to the police. so the framework which is the basic things we ask of police to do is not the correct one and we lost this connection between police and population, they are not seen any more as public service, asking for peace and managing the peace, but for confrontation with the youth especially in popular neighbourhoods. that is one part. i want to ask ou that is one part. i want to ask you more _ that is one part. i want to ask you more about _ that is one part. i want to ask you more about that - that is one part. i want to ask you more about that because | that is one part. i want to ask i you more about that because for example when you take a look at this 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 tests. what do you make of that? it calling them tests. what do you make of that?— make of that? it is very difficult. _ make of that? it is very difficult. the _ make of that? it is very difficult. the police - make of that? it is very difficult. the police is l make of that? it is very i difficult. the police is first a corporation and really, unions, they are away from where they should be. it is as well a stage tool to maintain peace within the community. it is a swell a tool to maintain order but in the last 20 years corporations with unions dictating their rules and maintaining the orders but not in the right way because we saw a number of problems are increasing, actually. so, we should step back a little bit and have discussions about what we should ask the police for. that is really critical. a swell, discrimination for a lot

of people in france. all, nonwhite people, i would say, are vulnerable to discrimination and we should work on the education side of it and we are really keen to live together. we are one country and we can continue to live together. i country and we can continue to live together.— live together. i want to ask more about _ live together. i want to ask more about the _ live together. i want to ask more about the root - live together. i want to ask more about the root cause | live together. i want to ask- more about the root cause here because we have seen 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 understand they are very angered and i can understand this. you are one of those, if you were in the street, all people think that we have done something bad. ifi people think that we have done something bad. if i am running in the street people will say that i am trying to do

whatever, so there is some basic discrimination we are facing us all at school, as well as our neighbourhoods because those neighbourhoods are an area where more than 50% of people are below the poverty level, so there is various reasons for this and we should manage the long—term reason and the short to medium term region with what we ask for so that we can gain some trust again within the country, otherwise we just place walls up within people and it does not work. the united nations has criticised france over police violence. 0n criticised france over police violence. on twitter you have said that work needs to be done on policing in france. what needs to happen in your opinion and do you think that president macron is taking the right tone here? ~ ., ., , .,

here? we have not seen macron workin: here? we have not seen macron working with _ here? we have not seen macron working with continuity. - here? we have not seen macron working with continuity. the - working with continuity. the feeling we have is he left the game to his minister of international affairs and there we should work gone on training, the framework, maintaining order and we should work on what we ask for to them and we should work as swell and how we control them because to date the nation for police is depending on the police as well, reporting to police, so this is very complex. so, we need to work on all of this. the minister of internal affairs is reallyjust trying to feet affairs is really 'ust trying to fee - . affairs is really 'ust trying to fee- , , to feet fight. his goal, his words is _ to feet fight. his goal, his words is we _ to feet fight. his goal, his words is we want - to feet fight. his goal, his words is we want to - to feet fight. his goal, his words is we want to fight, j to feet fight. his goal, his - words is we want to fight, and it does words is we want to fight, —.'ic it does not produce words is we want to fight, —."ic it does not produce any words is we want to fight, 5."if. it does not produce any good result for france so we should step back and move and all the

words coming from the 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 and we can change that now.— something wrong and we can change that now. thank you for bein: change that now. thank you for being with _ change that now. thank you for being with us. _ to ukraine now, where for the first time in 12 days, russia has launched an overnight drone attack on the capital of kyiv. ukrainian military officials say their air defence systems destroyed all incoming targets. this comes after president volodymyr zelensky warned that a serious threat remains at the russian—occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. zelensky said he believes that russia is technically ready to provoke a localised explosion at the facility. earlier today he met with spain's prime minister pedro sanchez in kyiv, who pledged support from the european union no matter the price. he also said his visit shows the eu's �*unequivocal�* support

for ukraine's membership bid. meanwhile, a top us military officer general mark milley has said ukraine's counter—offensive is 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. to haiti, where united nations secretary—general antonio guterres has urged the international community

to provide more aid to support the country's growing humanitarian needs. he also addressed the country's growing gang crisis, calling for support for haitian police to fight gangs that have largely overrun the island's capital, port—au—prince. during his visit on saturday, he discussed the importance of a security force to curb gang activity so haiti can distribute humanitarian aid and expand the economy. earlier i spoke to jacqueline charles, the caribbean correspondent at the miami herald, who is based in port—au—prince. thank you so much for being with us here on bbc news. to begin with, just paint a picture of the situation that people are facing there in haiti right now. this is a country of approximately 12 million residents and almost half, 5.2 million, are in need of humanitarian assistance and this includes 3 million children. just last month we had deadly floods, we had another earthquake on the southern panhandle. the situation with gangs, especially in the capital, they control over 60% of port—au—prince. it makes it difficult

to get around, it makes it difficult for people to go out to work, to just get basic food. you have a situation where tens of thousands of haitians have been forced from their homes, they're sleeping in public plazas, on the streets, others have also fled the country so it really is a dire humanitarian situation that the un in the last couple of weeks have been trying to raise attention to. and just focusing on that situation of the capital being controlled, as you've just pointed out there, jacqueline, for a large part, by gangs. and we've also heard some really horrendous reports that in a bid for control and in a bid to instilfear, there have been reports of sexual violence essentially being used in particular against girls, against women. yes, catherine russell, the head of unicef, was recently down there, she talked about an 11—year—old who had been raped and just gave birth a couple of days ago.

this is the new tactic the gangs are using. you're having babies having babies and they're are having to carry the child of their rapist. people are feeling very, very vulnerable. we've had a number of massacres and within those massacres we're hearing about the violence, the rape that's taking place. as you've pointed out, the united nations secretary general is there and he's called for this international force during that visit. i just wonder, with all of your knowledge of haiti whether you think that that would actually calm things if we think back, for example, to 2010 and we know the tensions that have been there with international peacekeepers, particularly in light of that cholera crisis. do you think that a new force on the ground there would actually help? well, today you have a resurgence of cholera. and you have a situation, as i mentioned, 12 million people, a police force, 9,000, ready, active duty, but in fact only 3,500 are on duty in the country at any given day at one time.

this is the figure that the un has put out. but when you think about the fact you have groups — they're doing ransom kidnappings, they're raping, there's a violence that's being carried throughout, and 3,500 police officers and they're are not all in port—au—prince, the reality is is for the average haitian who's on the ground there, they basically want help, they basically recognise that their police force cannot do it alone. now, this is a very touchy topic. i just spoke to the secretary general and in an interview with the miami herald and he says this is not an occupying force that he is talking about, it's about a robust security force to accompany the haitian national police, it's not to replace the police but you have a police today that's ill—equipped, doesn't have weapons, doesn't even have ballistic vests in order to carry out theirjob, and they need the assistance, and when you talk to police officers they tell you that they want it. well, unicef�*s executive director catherine russell

had previously said that haiti is becoming a forgotten crisis. we've got the visit of the un secretary general now but nine months after the government actually asked for help. why do you think that is? why do you think that up until this point there had been really not very much attention on this crisis? i think today haiti is also a victim of the geopolitical reality of the world. you've got a war in ukraine, as you alljust demonstrated. you've got hunger in africa, you've got the situation in sudan. there's a lot of crisis that's out there, but i also believe when i talk to diplomats, the fact that the united states, which is, what, less than two hours from haiti, they support the deployment of a force but they don't want to lead it. when i talk to other foreign diplomats, they believe that this is also a hindrance, the fact that the us, which is the mighty power, the fact that they do not want to go in, that this

provides some hesitancy. we do have some countries like jamaica that have raised their hands, and some african countries, but what the un lacks, or what us lacks is a country to lead such a deployment. what we're hearing now from some of these nations including canada is they want to see more of a political agreement, a broader political agreement. there's concerns that if they go in, they are basically upholding the current government which you know is a caretaker government that came into power two years ago this month after the assassination of haiti's president which remains unsolved. so there's a lot of work to be done but everybody agrees tat the situation is really dire and they're trying to figure out a way to prevent an explosive situation, something that's already bad from getting worse. all right, jacqueline charles there, miami herald's caribbean correspondent who's joining us from port—au—prince, thank you so much for your reporting. really good to talk to you. thank you. the king of the netherlands, willem—alexander, has apologised for his country's

role in slavery on saturday at an event marking 150 years since the abolition of slavery in former dutch colonies. in his speech, the monarch said he felt "personally and intensely affected." dutch slave traders trafficked more than 600,000 people and a government—commisioned study revealed that the dutch royal family earned the equivalent of nearly $600 million from the colonies, where slavery was widespread. translation: the horrific legacy of slavery remains l 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. cheering and applause

and i feel the weight of the words in my heart and my soul. just stop 0il protesters have disrupted the pride parade in central london. seven people were arrested for trying to delay the uk's largest lgbtq+ pride event, with over 30,000 people participating. meghan 0wen reports. # 0oh, see that girl. it started on a good note. millions flocked to the capital to celebrate pride. but for environmental activist group just stop 0il, 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'd say to those from just stop 0il who want to protest, are you really going to protest at an event

both celebrating but also protesting in relation to lgbtqia+ rights? you may be in danger of driving public opinion away, rather than more people joining this cause. for us, anyone who tries to disrupt that parade is really letting down those people that use this space once a year to come together and celebrate and protest for those rights. after a few minutes, the parade was back on track. it's amazing! i mean, it'sjust — there's so many people here. like, woo! you can see the costumes. there's all our — all our fabulous masqueraders are dotted throughout the band today so, yeah, we're just here to enjoy ourselves. this is my first pride - since covid and it's 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'm actually canadian and i've never felt at home more like when it's pride in london. i'm from cornwall originally.

i've got my pasty in my rucksack in a vat 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 anyone anyone wants to come — but london — there's. something about london that is so special. expected to be a record—breaking year in numbers, it's clear nothing could rain on this pride's parade. meghan 0wen, bbc news. in other news: 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 on 2ajune 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 theirfamilies. a bbc investigation has found tiktok is not removing many videos that deny the existence of man—made climate change — despite a promise in april

that it would do so. the social media giant announced it was updating its misinformation policy to target any content that undermined well—established scientific consensus about global warming. bbc verify�*s marco silva has the story. there is no climate change in the manner in which they speak! wake up, guys. global warming isn't real. it's all about control. climate change misinformation is all over social media and last april, tiktok said they would start removing it. but are they? 0n tiktok, it's arguably particularly bad because the way tiktok as a platform works. anyone can post anything and it has the potential to reach thousands or even millions of years. that's rosh. he's known for debunking viral videos that make false claims about climate change. i do that by basically comparing the claims being made to scientific literature and exposing where they go wrong. bad arguments can

spread really fast. we thought we'd check if tiktok were actually removing these videos and living up to their promise. so, we reported 365 climate—denying videos. but after a day, almost 95% of them were still there. and make no mistake — these posts are getting attention. they racked up almost 30 million views. that building over there? that's tiktok�*s uk headquarters, right here at the heart of london. i asked the company for an interview but it declined. instead, it sent us a statement. tiktok says: it also said it's working with fact—checkers and that people searching for content about climate change on tiktok are being shown a link to authoritative information. but why is any of this important? we know that there is a very rapidly closing window for us to deal with the problem

of climate change and what it requires is really good faith public debate, and that doesn't mean people can't have concerns or grievances or disagreements but, ultimately, we need to be sharing the same reality, and at the moment, the pollution of the information landscape is making that impossible. australia has become the first country in the world to legalise the use of psychedelics to treat some mental health conditions. approved psychiatrists can now prescribe mdma to those suffering post—traumatic stress disorder and pyschedelic mushrooms for some types of depression. here's phil mercer in sydney with the latest. approved psychiatrist will be able to prescribe mdma, that is the active ingredient in party drugs such as ecstasy, to treat post—traumatic stress disorder. there's also a compound from those magic mushrooms called psilocybin and that will be used to treat

depression, or people with depression, who have had other treatments that haven't worked, so there is a difference of opinion among many practitioners — some believe that these psychedelic drugs have the power to transform the treatment of certain psychiatric conditions. other experts here in australia and beyond believe that australia has been too quick to approve these feelgood chemicals and some of those critics believe that if things don't go right, these drugs could exacerbate those mental health conditions. so an awful lot of discussion. as the therapeutic goods administration has noted, this is australia's medical regulator, it says that the research in this field is inconclusive but there are promising signs that these drugs could help people with those debilitating conditions, ptsd and depression. stay with us here on bbc news.

that's all from us here in washington. we leave you with these live pictures of london as we hand off to our colleagues there. good night from us. 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 north—west and it's not particularly warm because the air 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 light shower maybe for north wales, more likely in north—west england. some showers developing in northern ireland and particularly again in scotland, where some could be heavy and possibly even thundery as well. 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 late showers for the first day of wimbledon. and those temperatures are still below par for this time of the year — i6—2i 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. got some rain moving down across scotland and northern ireland, then some showers. now, it looks like the wetter weather will push eastwards across more southern and central parts of england with sunny skies later in wales and the south—west, but things could well change. but what isn't changing is just how chilly it is going to be — 16—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.

voiceover: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. hello, and thanks forjoining hello, and thanks forjoining me for unspun world. me for unspun world. what will vladimir putin do what will vladimir putin do now, after the abortive mutiny now, after the abortive mutiny by yevgeny prigozhin by yevgeny prigozhin and his wagner group? and his wagner group?
