we start with one been arrested. we start with one specific incident, a local mayor on the outskirts of paris saying a car was rammed into his house, his wife was rammed into his house, his wife was injured. lots of politicians have been expressing his leek their support for him and this is live right now. the prime minister of france is visiting him, visiting the area and these are live pictures of that visit being shown around right now. sojust that visit being shown around right now. so just some of the details we have of the incident. just as those pictures freeze, we got a tweet from the mayor saying this... he goes on to say... we heard an update from the prosecutor. an investigation into attempted

murder is underway. the prosecutor said that the mayors wife broke her shin bone. she's also a local politician. the prime minister has been visiting that area outside the centre of paris in solidarity. and we have some other pictures of what happened overnight. this is marseille in the south of france. all of these people are out on the streets night after night after the shooting on tuesday of that 17—year—old boy, whose funeral was actually held on saturday, yesterday. our correspondent sofia bettiza has this update from lille, in the north of france. last night, for a fifth night in a row, there have been violent protests across france. we had an update from the interior ministery saying that that 719 people have been arrested, 45 police officers have been injured and 871 fires were started just last night. here in lille, like many other

places across france, this place has seen looting, fires and damage to public property. you can see behind me a building that was a health centre. about 35 people used to work here, mostly nurses and doctors. rioters came in, in the middle of the night, they set the place on fire and now it's completely destroyed. nearby, a school was damaged by fire as well. and students at a separate school, children, they wrote a sign that they hung at the entrance of the building which says, "please do not burn our schools". this gives you an idea that many people here where i am in northern france do not sympathise with the rioters. what they've said to us is these people are destroying their own communities and their own neighbourhoods.

so the feeling is that this is just not the right way to demand justice for nahel. is there any sense of any kind of turning point here? clearly, the damage right behind you would suggest no, but the numbers of arrests and incidents are falling slightly from the other nights before. is there anything to read into that? i mean, the interior minister said this morning that the rioting last night was not as bad, as you said, and he thanked the police for being out in force again, more than 16,000 police officers have been deployed across france. but of course, there's still a lot of anger. as you mention, that incident with a mayor of a paris suburb, with people trying to drive a car into his house and trying to set fire to his house.

incidents like this have been happening again last night, some of the worst violence was in marseille, where protesters clashed with the police and the police responded with tear gas. so at the moment, it doesn't seem to be a turning point because i think when things like this happen normally, the government tries to reach out, but that hasn't happened. president macron has condemned the violence, saying it's unacceptable to attack symbols of the french republic like schools, like city halls, like police stations, but what people here really want is some acknowledgement that there is a problem within the french police, and that hasn't happened yet. until that does happen, there is a risk of more violence and more protests in the coming days. thanks to sofia for that. now to the us. two people have been killed and another 28 are injured

in the city of baltimore. three people remain in a critical condition. a gunman opened fire as hundreds of gathered for annual event in the brooklyn area. our reporter, nicky schiller, is in the newsroom with more details. americans waking up to the news that there has been another mass shooting, this time, as you said, in the city of baltimore in the south of the city. the gunman opened fire on an annual event in that area. two people have been killed. 28 others have been injured — three of those are critical in hospital. police say they received multiple calls at around 12.30am and when they arrived at the scene, they found multiple victims with gunshot wounds. the acting commissioner, richard worley, has given a news conference. here's what he had to say. our detectives are currently working an extensive crime scene. the two deceased victims we have are both adults. we have three other victims who are in critical condition. our hearts and prayers

are going out to the families, sending it out to the families and friends of these victims as well as the community and our entire city. this is an extensive crime scene, our detectives are going to be here quite a while. if anyone saw anything or knows anything, please call 911 or call local metro crime stoppers 1—866—7—lockup. we have members of our fire department, also emergency management, as well as otherjurisdictions working with us to try to determine a motive. so as the acting commissioner said, it is a large crime scene that they are dealing with. he went on to say that they are reviewing all possible video footage in the hunt for the suspects. local media reports say that witnesses heard between 20 and 30 shots and that parents were, as you can imagine, very concerned for their children in the area. the mayor of the city was also at that news conference that was held in the last couple of hours, and he said that this incident highlighted the need to get

illegal guns off the streets of the city and he had this message for the perpetrators of the crime. this was a reckless, cowardly act that happened here and that has permanently altered many lives and cost two people their lives. i want those who are responsible to hear me and hear me very clearly — we will not stop until we find you and we will find you. until then, i hope with every single breath that you take that you think about the lives that you took and you think about the lives that you impacted here tonight. the mayor said that his heartfelt thoughts and prayers went out to the victims, particularly of course the two people, the families of the two people who have died and those that are in hospital. as i say, another mass shooting in america. i was just checking, lewis, the gun violence archive which details mass shootings across the united states and they say on friday, there had been 336 mass shootings. so this at least the 337th

this year in america. thanks to nicky for that. in the uk — the national health service is to nearly double the number of gambling addiction clinics in england. this is after referrals hit a record high. seven new facilities will open this summer. here's joe inwood. gambling has never been easier — every smartphone can become a virtual casino. that ease of access has coincided with a huge rise in the number of people struggling with addiction. people like luke ashton. last week, a coroner ruled that his online losses contributed to his decision to take his own life. after his death, his wife annie got access to his accounts. there was just so much on there. ijust remember sitting there and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and it was the same day and scrolling and seeing his transactions, it was so apparent at that point there was a major issue.

how can someone make that many bets in one day? how can somebody do that and it not be picked up? they considered him a low risk. even having that information in front of them, they still considered him a low risk, so something is wrong. just under 1,400 patients were referred for help with gambling addiction last year — that's nearly double the figure from two years ago. it's led to strong criticism of the industry and the head of nhs england, amanda pritchard, has raised her own concerns, saying: the solution, seven more specialist clinics. there are already eight running, including a national centre in london. the plan is to have space to treat 3,000 people a year, offering cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy, support groups and aftercare.

but there are calls for industry to act too. the nhs cannot and should not do this alone, so, absolutely, we've called upon industry to act responsibly, stop some of the more pernicious and aggressive marketing techniques and unsolicited approaches to people. the government recently introduced proposals aimed at reducing the harms caused by problem gambling. today's announcement shows the nhs expects the numbers suffering to rise. joe inwood, bbc news. in australia, rallies have taken place across australia advocating for the constitution to recognise the country's indigenous people, ahead of a referendum on the issue later this year. it will ask australians whether they support a change to the constitution to create a body which would make representations to parliament and the government relating to indigenous communities. polls suggest the vote — which is expected in october or november —

has seen a recent dip in support. the king of the zulu nation in south africa is being treated in hospital for suspected poisoning. this is after one of his senior advisors died suddenly on saturday. king misuzulu sought medical attention in eswatini — a land locked nation in southern africa — as he's uncomfortable with seeking treatment in south africa. let's get more from our regional editor temesghen debesai. so tell us what's the latest? well, like you said, there is very, very little information. the only information that we have about this story comes from a twitter statement that was published by the traditional prime minister, mangosuthu buthelezi, who said the king had fallen ill on saturday and they decided he needed medical

attention after one of his senior aides who passed away who was with him at the time. so for that reason he sought medical attention and that is all we know at the moment. like you said, he preferred to be treated in eswatini because the king was not comfortable to be treated in south africa. apparently, his parents were treated in south africa and they succumbed to their illnesses, so the king didn't feel that he would get the right treatment if he was to go to south africa for treatment. tell us a bit about _ to south africa for treatment. tell us a bit about the man. well, - to south africa for treatment. tell us a bit about the man. well, he i us a bit about the man. well, he came to power— us a bit about the man. well, he came to power in _ us a bit about the man. well, he came to power in 2021. - us a bit about the man. well, he l came to power in 2021. apparently there was a lot of controversy surrounding his coronation. he is the third oldest son to the king who was king at the time, king goodwill. when he passed away, he was meant to be the next in line to be king. it

was the duty of his mother, the queen, to appoint the next king. unfortunately, the queen herself also passed away seven weeks after the king had passed away, without appointing an apparent heir to the throne. there was a lot of controversy surrounding the coronation itself. in fact, he wasn't correlated until last october, even though he was 0ctober, even though he was appointed king in may of 2021 because of the controversy that surrounded his appointment itself. so for that reason, this story has come to prominence because there is a lot of suspicion that there may be foul play involved, like the prime minister said, there will be investigations to find out whether there was poisoning involved. so in there was poisoning involved. so in the meantime, the nation of zulu waits anxiously to find out what happens to the king and as well with

regards to the investigation itself. 0k, temesghen debesai, thank you for that. the owner of twitter, elon musk, has limited the number of tweets users can read in a day. he says unverified accounts are now limited to reading 1,000 posts a day. for new univerified accounts — it's 500. and for verified accounts — that you have to pay for — it's 10,000 posts a day. musk says the limits tackle what he says is �*extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation'. nick waters is from bellingcat, an open source investigative journalism organisation. we collect images, videos from events and use them to establish what has happened. so, basically, every significant physical event that takes place, something that's really extreme, will create a digital ripple. and so what we do is we find that digital ripple — the images, the videos, the text posts — of events that have taken place and we use that to reconstruct that event. so, we use twitter quite a lot.

twitter acts as the central node in an information network. you will have information coming in from various different sources, telegram, other social media, news outlets, individuals, and what twitter does is it collects it into one place where you can look at it. so the impact is pretty significant and immediate. some people who i know have already had it affect them. it basically means that tracking events is going to be a lot harder. so, if you think back a week ago, where mr prigozhin marched on moscow with wagner, everyone was following where his column was and who was doing what by looking at twitter and looking at the posts that people were bringing into twitter. during that day, i must have looked at many tens of thousands of posts, whereas under the current rules i would have probably stopped at about kind of 9am in the morning. so it has a pretty significant impact that is hitting people now. yeah, it's going to have a pretty significant impact on people's

ability to actually follow the news. thanks to nick waters for that. let's step into the world of uk politics. earlier in the week, the british prime minster announced a long term plan to boost the workforce of england's national health service, or nhs. he committed £2.11 billion over the next five years. but questions remain about where that money will come from. the health secretary steve barclay was asked about it this morning. it will be announced through the normal process, with the chancellor at the next fiscal event. it's something he has long championed and been hugely supportive of, as indeed has the prime minister. so we're being clear — as a government, we're going to prioritise what is the biggest workforce expansion in the nhs's history. 0ur political correspondent tony bonsignore has more. the fallout from last week's nhs long—term workforce plan, lewis, is still playing out and crucially, they have a big anniversary this week. 75th anniversary of the national health service here in the uk, a much loved institution, of course. an institution under huge

amounts of pressure, as health care systems are around the world. we heard this morning, talking to our own laura kuenssberg, amanda prichard. she's head of the nhs and she was talking about some of the pressures facing the nhs — both in the long term but in the short term as well. here's what she had to say. what we've always recognised, in fact when the previous secretary of state announced the recovery plan back last year, 18 months ago, he said very clearly, look, waiting lists are going to go up before they come down but we are still on track to deliver the fastest reduction, the fastest improvement in waiting times in our history. but it is not an overnight thing. interesting and, tony, back to you, education also hitting the headlines? yes, there's a lot of posturing and manoeuvring going on at the moment politically, as you can imagine. labour's big push this weekend

has been on education and particularly, wejust heard there from amanda prichard, a whole discussion about problems of recruitment in the health sector. there's also problems of recruitment as well in education. so what bridget phillipson, the shadow education secretary, has been talking about today is her plans for giving payments to teachers to encourage them to stay in the profession and also essentially making sure there's more qualifications to make it more established as a profession. but before we get to any of that, there are more strikes ahead. any parent in the uk knows this. at the moment, they're waiting for that e—mail from school talking about whether their school is going to be shut or not and there were questions about whether labour would give the pay rise to teachers that they want. this is what bridget phillipson had to say. my priority and my focus would be having proper and serious negotiations with the teaching unions to try and get a way through this —

on pay, on workload, on the status of the profession and on wider issues that we see across education. that isn't happening. it is the secretary of state's failure to get that to happen that means this week we're going to see more disruption. it is on them. that is an irresponsible and reckless approach. pressed repeatedly there, you heard bridget phillipson declining to commit to a particular figure or a particular pay rise. labour in an interesting position on this. 0n the one hand, they want to be supportive of the unions, they want to be supportive of teachers. they have made the point that they think there's been underpayment and underinvestment over a long period. but they're also trying to bolster their economic credibility and shed the reputation — fairly or unfairly — that people think they have of spending too much money. you heard that tension in there as we listened to bridget phillipson. thanks to tony for that.

the remains of eight british hurricane fighter planes have been found buried in a forest in ukraine. they date back to world war two — here 5 james landale. in a forest south of kyiv, down in an old riverbed, something unexpected. the remains of old aircraft, hidden deep in the ground. each one british to their rusty core. here you see the tail plane of hurricane mark ii. you heard that right. this was once part of a hurricane fighter plane, one of thousands britain gave the soviet union during world war ii. this is a little slice of history, evidence of a moment when, 80 years ago, western powers gave warplanes to ukraine, just as they are today, to defend against an invading army. you think there might be a seventh? yes. and here, under this frame, there are eight. many of the hurricanes

were destroyed fighting the invading german army, others were stripped for parts. but some, like these, were deliberately hidden down here. the hurricane may have been the workhorse of the battle of britain, shooting down more enemy aircraft than the spitfire, but many also saw action in the frozen wastes of the ussr. every plane made in britain, every plane paid for by the united states. and that is why these heavy frames were dumped here after the war, so the soviets didn't have to pay the us back for any hurricanes left intact, as had been agreed. those who discovered the planes say they made a real difference. the hurricane was a strong, easy to fly machine. stable as a gun platform. suitable for not experienced pilots. and reliable aircraft.

these may look like unremarkable bits of metal, but to the ukrainian aviation museum, they are symbols of british assistance that echo down the years. britain was the first to supply fighting aircraft to the soviet union. now great britain is the first country which gives cruise missiles to our armed forces. is history repeating itself? yes, of course. the museum hopes to find enough parts to reconstruct one entire hurricane to look, if not to fly, like this — as once they did over the skies of ukraine. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. a european space telescope has started a million—mile journey to find the secrets of the dark universe. the euclid spacecraft blasted off from cape canaveral in florida on saturday. it will make a huge 3d map

of the cosmos to help astronomers understand more about dark matter. 0ur reporter david lumb has more. five, four, three, i two, one — igniton. heading to space to solve one of science's biggest questions — what is the universe made of? the euclid telescope was launched from florida on a falcon nine rocket yesterday. falcon nine has successfully lifted off from pad 40 and throttled down to prepare for max g, which is coming up at t—plus one minute and 12 seconds. dispatched to an observation position 1.5 million kilometres from earth. it's hoping to give us the next bit of the puzzle to what this dark universe really is. 95% of the universe is dark, it doesn't shine, and we have to observe it through other means.

we know something about it, but we don't know all of the things about the dark substance in the universe, so euclid really is the next step in our discovery of what this stuff is that makes up most of our universe. euclid will be making a vast, 3d map of the cosmos. the hope is to shed light on the properties of so—called dark matter, which helps galaxies keep their shape, and dark energy, the force driving the expansion of the universe. researchers concede that, at the moment, they know virtually nothing about them. stage separation confirmed. applause the european space agency is behind the mission, with significant input from nasa. it will take six years to complete. david lumb, bbc news. that is just about it from me. i will be back in a couple of minutes'

time with the headlines. plenty more online is always an on the bbc news app. you can get me on social media. i'm lewis vaughanjones and this is bbc news. hello, it's a fairly fresh feeling july day out there today. we've got the breeze coming in from the west or northwest. so in general, things are looking bright and breezy for most of us. there are some showers in the forecast, but the bulk of them will be across the northern half of the uk, whereas further south you'll have longer spells of dry and sunny weather. so we've got low pressure which is just sitting to the north east of scotland drifting towards scandinavia. the winds are rotating around that area of low pressure and we're seeing more persistent rain sitting across the far north of mainland scotland up towards 0rkney. a rash of showers elsewhere across scotland. one or two for northern ireland and northern england i think, could be the odd rumble of thunder for central scotland. but further south you should avoid most of those showers. perhaps the odd one for wales

and the south—west, but very few and far between. and temperatures range between 1a to 22 degrees north to south, fairly typical for the time of year, but the breeze taking the edge off the temperature. most of the showers ease away so things become largely dry through this evening and tonight. but we have got more cloud and light, patchy rain across the north of scotland again. the next weather system arrives in the west here during the early hours of monday. so overnight lows around 10 to 1a degrees. but it's still an unsettled picture on monday because we have got some more areas of low pressure. you can see this little frontal system moving in from the west. so that is going to bring some rain early on to southern parts of northern ireland. later in the day it'll drift eastwards across parts of wales and england too. scotland seeing another day of sunshine and showers. but i don't think they'll be quite as frequent as the showers we're seeing today and less in the way of any thunder risk as well. 13 to 20 degrees our top temperatures, a little below par for this stage injuly. and as that rain just sweeps in towards the southeast, just a chance that we could catch a shower or two, i think, at wimbledon during the afternoon. so the cloud thickens, but any of those showers should be passing through fairly quickly

i think there. into tuesday then another area of low pressure arrives for southern parts of the uk. some uncertainty about the detail of exactly when and where we're going to see the rain. but it looks like a pretty wet day on tuesday across southern parts of england and wales, whereas further north, sunshine and scattered showers, some of them i think quite heavy and frequent as well. so all in all, an unsettled, breezy, showery day on tuesday for most of us, 13 to 19 degrees, so it is going to feel rather cool for this time of year. so cool and unsettled over the next few days. but it looks like things turn warmer and drier, at least in the south, as we look towards the end of the week. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines... more than 700 people have been arrested in france during a fifth night of protests in response to the fatal shooting of a 17—year—old boy by police. the french government says last night was calmer because of what it calls the resolute action of security forces. two people have been killed in a mass shooting in the us city of baltimore. 28 others are injured — three are in a critical condition. the shooting happened overnight when people had gathered for an event called "brooklyn day". a search is under way for the shooter. twitter has announced limits on the number of posts people can see each day. 0wner elon musk says paying subscribers can view 10,000 tweets — with others limited to as few as 500.

and in england, the national health service
