�*joining us. the grandmother of the french teenager whose killing by police has sparked days of unrest in france has appealed for calm. speaking to french media, nahel�*s grandmother said she wants the violence everywhere to stop and accused rioters of using his killing as an excuse. this appeal comes as there's been condemnation across the political spectrum of an attempt to set fire to the home of a mayor in a district of paris, during a fifth night of nationwide unrest. these are pictures from the incident — a car was rammed against the mayor's home and set alight. the french prosecutor says an investigation into �*attempted murder�* is under way. the mayor's wife was injured during the ordeal — apparently breaking a leg — and was forced to flee with her children. the prime minister, elisabeth borne, met with the mayor and offered her government's support. my colleague rajini vaidyanathanjoins me now. well, it was a fifth night of violence across france. we are in

low the rows where the mayor's house was attacked in a violent protest. as you were saying a car was set alight and driven into the house, that's further down the road behind me. there have been police officers here all day obviously investigating the scene now. we heard from vincent jeanbrun, the mayor, he wasn't at home at the time, it was at 1:30am in the morning when the attack happened. he was at the town hall. his wife and his two young children were at home and they escaped and his wife broke her leg in the melee that ensued. the mayor has said that after days of horror in france this incident has crossed a line and i think there are many people in france who agree with that sentiment. earlier today the prime minister elisabeth borne visited this area and this is what she had to say.

translation: evidently, i an act like this is particularly shocking and i said to the mayor i would support him and make sure nothing like this ever happens again. we will formulate as strong a response as possible on behalf ofjustice, but also listen to the evidence and the circumstance. asi as i say it was another night of violence. it was a little calmer across the board than a few of the previous nights and officials say they arrested 700 people from saturday into sunday's violence. that's compared with friday into saturday when 1300 arrests were made. things were definitely calmer, we were at the champs—elysees last night. we went down there because protesters on social media said they were going to gather there. in fact instead we saw dozens and dozens of police officers and an absolutely massive police presence which in a way i think i kept many of the protesters away from that particular area. but across the country it was still a night of tension as my colleague sofia bettiza reports. another night of unrest in france.

tens of thousands of police were out in force, ready for a fifth night of riots. the worst of the violence was in marseille. police fought street battles with young people. the riots began after a police officer shot dead a 17—year—old of algerian descent called nael. translation: the person who was killed was a child| and that is why more minors are coming into the movement because what is going on is unfair. "imagine if that had happened to my brother," she says. "i mean, we are not safe here. we should be safe with the police but we are scared of them." this is paris, the iconic place normally packed with tourists, lined with security forces. this is a health centre. 35 doctors and nurses work here.

rioters broke in in the middle of the night and set the building on fire. and people here told us they do not sympathise with the rioters because they feel that they are destroying their own communities, and that this is not the right way to demand justice for nael. but this is notjust about nael. his death has reignited debate about racism in the french police. what many people who want is at least an acknowledgement that there is a problem of racial profiling and excessive use of force by the french police. sofia bettiza, bbc news, lille. rajini, iwant rajini, i want to pick up on something that sofia bettiza said there, that the view of some people of racism within the french police forces, we had previously on bbc news from the head of one of the leading french unions who said there wasn't an issue of racism within his ranks and within the force's but

that's not the perception for many people, notjust in paris, but across the country, is it? vasey deep issues with the forces there. yes, and is more thanjust a perception. the united nations said on friday that the french police needed to address deep—rooted issues of discrimination and racism. in response to what the united nations said we heard from the french government that there was no foundation in what had been said by the un. we have talked to people from nanterre, the suburb of paris where nael was from and where he was killed, who say that they believe people from minority communities are racially profiled and that what happened to nael was the tip of the iceberg and there are so many cases nobody knows about all talks about, not least because they were not recorded on camera like nael�*s death was. 0n the other hand in the suburb where we are now where the mayor's home was attacked we have spoken to

people who don't believe that there is racism in the forces. they say of course there is racism in french society but it's the same in many institutions and it is not widespread, and that's their feeling. so people here, for example i don't really sympathise with the protesters, don't understand why they are taking to the streets. so you almost have two frances, people who are rioting who really feel with solidarity with the sentiments behind that and believe that the french police force is racist and you have people who havejust french police force is racist and you have people who have just had enough of the violence. then you have the middle ground, people like nael�*s grandmother who has said this is not the way to do this, got to stop the violence. i think more and more calls are coming now from all quarters, even people who say they understand the issues when it comes to accusations of racism in france's police force who are saying this is not the way to do it, attacking public institutions, attacking the home of a mayor, attacking schools, the french 0lympic swimming venue

thatis the french 0lympic swimming venue that is supposed to be there for next year, doing things like that isn't achieving anything. we spoke to a man here who says he wants a state of emergency to be imposed. that is something the government has put as an option on the table. that would involve giving police even more powers of arrest, restricting public gatherings and imposing curfews, and we know that president macron is hosting more crisis talks later today. macron is hosting more crisis talks latertoday. it macron is hosting more crisis talks later today. it is unclear what will come out of those. a fifth night of violence was definitely calmer than previous nights but people are still expecting more unrest this evening. rajini, thank you so much. new measures aimed at curbing protest methods often used by environmental groups have come into effect in england and wales. under the new laws, police now have powers to move protesters who disrupt transport, while offenders could face three years injailfor tunnelling. the home office says the public order act 2023 will target — quote — "a selfish minority" — but critics argue they threaten

the right to protest. groups such asjust stop 0il have continued with high—profile protests — including at yesterday's pride in london event. earlier i spoke to sir peter fahy, the former chief constable of greater manchester police, and asked him what he made of these new powers. the key issue is it reduces the amount of discretion that police officers have when they are dealing with protests. one of the key issues here is about the definition of what is disruption. so when officers are looking at a protest, up to now they have needed to show that there was a risk of serious disruption for them to be able to take action, and particularly to impose conditions on the protest. that bar has been lowered significantly in terms of it causing more than minor disruption to the community with things like people blocking roads or walking very slowly up a road. that means, yes, the police will have the powers to intervene but it also means they will come under more pressure to take that action, and exactly as you say,

withjust stop oil and other groups turning up to all sorts of different events it is tying up a lot of police resources. but as i say it will also put the police under, i think come in certain circumstances, under a lot of pressure to make sure they use these powers. give us a sense when you are on the ground or when you are commanding an operation that is policing a big event, for example, or a protest, give us a sense of where that balance lies from your perspective of the right to protest but then also ensuring that day—to—day life continues in some reasonable way in unexpected circumstances. up to now it has been quite a high bar to show that there is serious disruption to the life of the community before the police could intervene. that meant really that a police commander would take into account what does the local community feel, the impact on traffic, businesses and other things happening but also the fundamental right to protest.

i remember on things like planned protest outside conferences in, manchester the commander on the ground was able to use quite a lot of discretion to try and in effect keep both parties happy. but now that discretion is going to be far reduced and that means that the police commander as soon as they see any form of disruption, traffic being obstructed, being slowed down, things like that, a particular definition around noise and noise being created in the community by the protests, they will come under a lot more pressure to intervene and there is no question it will reduce the right to protest. and obviously a lot of protesters would say you need to create some sort of disruption to get your case noticed and to get the coverage from the media. the opportunity here is going to be far reduced, and at the same time they're going to face far harsher prison sentences if they ignore the conditions from the police, or do other things, as you say, like tunnelling which disrupt the work of construction companies and others.

are you fearful that policing is about to get politicised? some would say it already is. but potentially even more so. i think the public, there is no question, the public are really fed up of the activities of groups likejust stop oil and extinction rebellion and the way they block motorways. but i think the public also need to recognise that these laws will apply to all protests in the future. so it might be that you are seriously angry at a new housing development in these very stringent conditions, things like the police being able to use stop and search without suspicion to impose all sorts of conditions on people who may be planning a protest will apply to all protests. there is noquestion it will put police in a difficult position if there is a strong sense of feeling within a community

and they have to take strong action against protesters because there is pressure from businesses or construction companies, orwhatever. there is no question the police are being drawn into a more difficult position. but on the other hand i would, to some extent, blame groups likejust stop 0il because they have almost force the government into this position of putting these more stringent laws and they are going to affect everybody that is trying to plan a protest. you're watching bbc news. some developments to bring to you we are getting in london, we hear that king charles iii will meet president biden at windsor castle on monday the 10th ofjuly. further details will be released in due course. the white house has confirmed he will meet king charles and the uk prime minister rishi sunak during a four—day trip which will also see him visiting finland. more details on our website, bbc.co.uk/ news. now to the us state of maryland. two people have been killed and another 28 have been injured in a mass shooting

in the city of baltimore. three people remain in a critical condition. the shooting happened as hundreds of people had gathered for an annual event in the brooklyn area. police say they are reviewing cctv in the hunt for those responsible. eyewitnesses told local media that 20 to 30 shots were fired during the incident. the mayor of baltimore says the tragedy highlights the need to deal with the over—proliferation of illegal guns on the city's streets. brandon scott had this message for the perpetrators. 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. i want to again express that this is an absolute tragedy that did not have to happen. it again highlights the impacts

and the need to deal with the overproliferation of illegal guns on our streets and the ability for those who should not have them to get their hands on them, and also the need for accountability on each and every level when you're dealing with guns and gun violence. and again, we will not stop until we find those cowards who decided to just shoot dozens of people, causing two people to lose their lives. and we're going to be here until we find them, until we hold them accountable, until they are held accountable for the actions that they took, because we cannot rest until they do so. let's get some of the day's other news now. an environmental campaign group has accused a british energy giant of trading russian gas more than a year after a pledge to pull out of the country. global witness says its analysis has found shell handled nearly an eighth of russia's liquefied natural gas exports by sea last year and is still buying tankers laden with gas. shell says the shipments

are part of long—term contracts it can't break. politicians have been paying tribute to lord kerslake — who has died at the age of 68. bob kerslake led the civil service during david cameron's coalition government. he had recently been working with the labour party on the next general election. and sri lanka has repatriated an elephant gifted by thailand — after the thai authorities complained it was being mistreated. there were allegations it was being tortured and neglected at a buddhist temple. the four—tonne elephant was flown out of colombo on a specially chartered plane. now it's time for a look at today's sport with hugh ferris. in the last few moments australia have taken a 2—0 lead in the ashes after emerging from a dramatic final day of the second test at lords. they beat england by 43 runs, withholding a new epic fight back by

their captain ben stokes after england lost their second wicket of the day which left australia needing four more to win, stokes launched a massive counterattack. eventually reaching his century with three sixes in a row. he moved onto 155 before eventually being caught after me skewing yet another attempted big hit. the wicket to fall before him provided the real drama of the day, jonny bairstow�*s, and contributed to a rare rowdy atmosphere at lords after bairstow left the crease at what he thought was the end of the over. australian wicketkeeper alex carey threw the ball at the stumps, it was judged to be out. that while following the law it was against the spirit the game. this is how it has finished at lords. england all out. they wouldn't have got anywhere near the victory target if it wasn't for stokes's 155. victory target if it wasn't for stokes's155. australia have a 2—0 ashes lead with three matches to play in the series.

meanwhile sri lanka have guaranteed a place at the men's 50—over world cup in india later this year securing one of the two spots available at the qualifying competition. they beat hosts zimbabwe — the only other team who had a 100% record before the game by nine wickets in bulawayo. after bowling zimbabwe out for 165 in under 33 overs they knocked off the runs needed in almost exactly the same time. pathum nissanka ending on 101 not out. zimbabwe can still qualify if they beat scotland on tuesday. another day, another victory for max verstappen. the reigning formula one champion has won the austrian grand prix to extend his lead in the driver's standings. the red bull driver chalked up a 42nd career win — half of those have come in the last 1a months. his team—mate sergio perez was second, in front of the ferrari of charles le clerc. verstappen leads perez in the standings by a whopping 81 points. novak djokovic might not be the number one seed at wimbledon but still there's a feeling that

he's the one to beat. not only is he attempting to equal roger federer�*s record of eight titles there, he's also still on course for the first calendar grand slam in sa years. and while carlos alcaraz is ahead of him in the rankings, djokovic isn't thinking about who might stand in his way. i don't need to have carlos or anybody else really to find that extra drive and motivation when i enter slams because i know that i have to win seven matches to win a title. so whoever i get to face across the net is, you know, it doesn't make a difference for me. the tournament starts on monday with women's number one seed iga swiatek both in good form. and having recovered from the possible food poisoning that led to her withdrawal from her first ever grass court semifinal on friday. fresh too from a third french open title in four years, swiatek says she feels more relaxed going into this year's wimbledon. last year, i felt a lot of pressure here because i was world number one and i don't know,

i feel like this time, actually, that was the first year where i could just focus on practising and actually learning a lot. so hopefully i'm going to be able to use that on my matches and for sure, getting used to the grass was always a tricky part because when you play well at roland garros, you have less time to prepare for wimbledon. the tour de france second stage taking place in the basque country in northern spain is coming to its conclusion and you can follow it on the bbc sport website were of course there will be plenty of reaction in there will be plenty of reaction in the coming hours to australia taking a 2—0 lead in the ashes series. back to you, gareth. whew, thank you so much. debris from eight british hurricane fighter planes, dating back to world war ii, has been found buried, in a forest in ukraine. the aircraft were originally sent by britain, after nazi germany invaded the former soviet

union back in 19111. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, james landale, has the story. in a forest south of kyiv, down in an old riverbed, something unexpected. the remains of old aircraft hidden deep in the ground. and each one british to their rusty core. here you see the tail plane of a hurricane mark 2. yes, 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. so you think there might be a seventh hurricane down here? yeah. seven, and under this frame, 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. newsreel: week after week, - they took their planes into the air. the hurricane may have been the workhorse of the battle of britain, shooting down more enemy aircraft than the spitfire, but... mark the collaboration _ between british and russian flyers. ..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's 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 plane say they've made a real difference. hurricane was a strong, easy to fly machine, stable as a gun platform, suitable for not experienced pilots, and a reliable aircraft. these may look like unremarkable

bits of metal but, to ukraine's aviation museum, they are symbols of british assistance that echo down the years. britain was the first who supplied fighting aircraft for the soviet union. now great britain is the first country which gives storm shadow cruise missiles to our armed forces. the museum hopes to find enough parts to reconstruct one entire hurricane to look, if not to fly, like this, as once they did in the skies over ukraine. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. an incredible story now — the tale of how button the cockerpoo an incredible story now — the tale of how button the cockapoo fell off a 50—metre cliff in east yorkshire — and survived. after being rescued by the coastguard, button's owners are very grateful to have her back home safe and well. 0ur reporter rachel royce has

been to meet them all. who would fancy their chances if they fell over this cliff? it's160—foot high, incredibly steep, and somewhere usually just for the birds. but somehow a nine—year—old cockapoo ran over the edge and is still breathing. oh, there she is. she's a beautiful little girl. and how's she doing? good. sandra and her husband, brian costin, were on holiday in a caravan park in thornwick bay when the drama unfolded. it's a holiday spot in east yorkshire, popular with birdwatchers. sandra was walking in the fields when button disappeared. and then we sort of started to think, "well, where is she?" "we can't hear her barking or anything." and beginning to think, "has she gone over the cliff?" you know. then a bird watcher peered over the cliff and spotted her on the inaccessible tidal beach. she was on her feet. and then we could see see her walking around. and thatjust seemed like such a miraculous thing, you know? ijust couldn't understand it because i thought she'd obviously

be dead at the bottom of the cliff, really. i can't see... i still don't know how she escaped, really. bridlington coastguard came to the rescue, assembling a volunteer team to abseil down the cliff to fetch button. she calmly walked into their rescue bag and was lifted to safety. the costins drove button home that night and straight to an emergency vet. amazingly, it had just literally damaged a disc in its back, which was causing some damage to the spinal cord, but only to a relatively minor degree. i'm surprised it actually survived. that's a long fall. i don't think i would survive a fall that far. a reminder today from the maritime and coastguard agency that it is safer to keep dogs on leads near the cliffs. but all in all, it's a remarkable tale of survival for a favoured family member. rachel royce, bbc news.

it's goodbye from button and all the folks at bridlington and it's goodbye from me. i'm gareth barlow. thank you for watching. plenty more stories on our website and the app. hello. plenty of spells of sunshine through the rest of your sunday afternoon and into the evening. we have a few showers around, mainly across the northern half of the uk. further south you have longer spells of dry and sunny weather but a fairly bright and breezy sort of day, a noticeable wind coming in from a west or north westerly direction and it's blowing around this area of low pressure which is just drifting slowly across scandinavia. drawn in on that atlantic air we are seeing a few showers particularly affecting scotland and northern ireland through the remainder of the day, a few for northern england and north wales, but further south it is likely to stay dry with late sunshine around today. more persistent rain and cloud lingering across the far north of scotland over the likes

of caithness, sutherland and 0rkney but most places dry and clear overnight. temperatures down into single figures for many northern areas in particular heading into the early hours of monday morning. so a fresh start of the day but quite a bit of sunshine around from the word go. it won't stick around everywhere because we have more showers on the way, this system drifting in from the west. initially, that will bring rain across parts of wales, in the middle part of the morning, drifting further eastwards into england through the course of the day but tending to fragment and become showery as it does so. more rain to come across the north of scotland with another weather front moving in. sunny spells for many of us in between those showers. temperatures just 13—20 degrees, so a little below par degrees so a little below par, couple of degrees below average for this part ofjuly. monday is the first day of the championships at wimbledon. lots of dry weather through the day but as the cloud thickens through the afternoon there is that chance of some passing showers during the latter part of the afternoon. into tuesday, it looks like the next

area of low pressure will move into what southern parts of the uk. a bit of uncertainty for tuesday on the detail how far north any of the rain gets. perhaps south wales, southern england likely to see the rain during the day on tuesday. and sunshine and showers for the rest of the uk. an unsettled sort of day and relatively cool for this stage in earlyjuly. 13—19 degrees our top temperature on tuesday and a bit of a breeze around where you see the showers as well. cool and unsettled over the next few days but there is some drier weather particularly further south and by the weekend look at the temperatures, up to 28 degrees in the london region. bye for now.

this is bbc news, the headlines: the grandmother of the french teenager whose killing by police sparked five nights of riots in france has appealed for calm. the call comes after condemnation during an attempt to set fire to the home of a district almost doubling the current number. mayor of paris. in the us, two people have been killed in a mass shooting in baltimore. twenty—eight others were injured — with three in critical condition. a search for the shooter is under way. debris from eight british hurricane fighter planes, dating back to world war two, has been found buried, in a forest in ukraine. the aircraft was sent to the soviet union by britain after nazi germany invaded the country in 19111. in england, the national health service is to open a further seven a �*gambling clinics' this summer —
