a recent survey of black people in france suggested 91% had experienced racial discrimination. injune last year, riots erupted across the country following the fatal shooting by police of a 17—year—old french national of moroccan and algerian descent. the case is still being investigated. it represented something much deeper that had been there for years, and anger over the way marginalised communities had been treated in france. there are those who don't see leaving france has the answer. these siblings whose parents were born in senegal but they grew up in paris. they are planning a move to west africa while the brother is very much

at home in france. after much planning, he lands in his new home in senegal. now he has arrived, he reflects on why he felt he had to leave.

meeting his extended family, it is clear that he still feels an outsider. but this is a place where that can change. like some other young africans born in france making thejourney, it is somewhere he is connected to his history and his future. and nourjoins me now. tell me the scale of this reverse migration and the challenges of people who have just returned home. we

year with the intention of abducting lincoln brookes. today — they were sentenced to a combined total of more than 14 years in prison. our correspondent sam harrison gave us the details from outside chelmsford crown court. this is a remarkable case involving an online conspiracy group with frankly unbelievable details. the so—called federal postal court is a group which gave itself nonexistent legal powers. it wanted to upset the current legal structure within england and wales and it even assigned itself a hierarchy within the group. for example, its leader, 59—year—old mark christopher was self appointed as the chief judge of england and all its dominions. in april last year, mr christopher along with other members matthew martin and a married couple entered essex coroner's court here in chelmsford where they were wearing high vizjackets carrying handcuffs with them as well. they broke into one of the court rooms there and

planned to abduct one of the senior legal officials. so, an incredible scene that day in april 2023. the official they wanted to kidnap with senior coroner lincoln brookes who was driving to work at the time. thankfully he was not in the building, he was delayed that day. but he was obviously told by colleagues to stay away and he went without any physical harm. the psychological impact of all this for mr brooks has been significant. we have been told that he has suffered trauma ever since and this was highly stressful incident and that stress has stayed with him. today, his attempted kidnappers were here at chelmsford crown court to receive their sentence. mr christopher, who was the leader of the group, was sentenced to seven years in prison for conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment as well as for malicious communications related to e—mails he had been

sending the senior coroner leading up to that day in april last year. also, 47—year—old matthew martin, 45—year—old and 38—year—old married couple were all sentenced to 30 months in prison for conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment. the far—right activist tommy robinson — whose real name is stephen yaxley—lennon — has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court. he breached a 2021 legal injunction, which prevented him from repeating libellous statements about a syrian refugee. robinson had wrongly claimed the man had attacked a girl at a school. our home and legal correspondent dominic casciani has been outside woolwich crown court. yes, this case has a very, very long wait to reach the court today. it dates back to october 2018 when a syrian refugee was the subject of an attack in huddersfield. that video went viral.

tommy robinson posted a response to it suggesting the syrian refugee had been the perpetrator of other violence. that led to a defamation battle that the teenager was awarded £100,000 in damages. the court said at the time to not repeat the lies you said about this refugee, but over the last year or so, he has been repeating those claims, including in a film online which has been seen by up to 47 million people by the court's reckoning. although in court today, he mouthed to his family and supporters in the public gallery, "55 million." who knows exactly where the truth lies there. it was this repeated breach of the order that led to his jailing today for 18 months. the justice telling the founder of the now—defunct

english defence league that nobody was above the law and he had to send a strong message and that is what he has done. 18 months injail, four months knocked off if he has taken steps to remove the film. according to the court he is showing no remorse so far. let me show you the scenes outside the parliament, the president calling for people to protest after the election results after allegations of russian involvement. we will get the latest on that gathering. we will also have the latest from the us, joe biden this afternoon voting early in the us elections. we will get the latest there and all the latest from the middle east. all of that is coming up in the next hour after the weather. hello. high pressure is in charge of the weather this week. let's have a look at the big picture. here's the azores high building towards the uk and anchoring itself through the middle part of the week. the jet stream is way

to the north and the west of us, taking its rain, with it deflecting the weather fronts to the north. so a mostly settled week. but that doesn't mean sunny skies. in fact, farfrom it. sunshine is going to be limited this week with this area of high pressure. in fact, most days will be quite cloudy, damp and foggy in the morning. but we've got some very mild air coming in from the south. in fact, you can see today that some mild air can be traced almost to the subtropics, and it's here to stay for the next few days. now, the satellite picture reveals an incoherent area of cloud. in fact, it's breaking up in a few areas here and there, allowing some sunshine to the east of the pennines, east of the welsh hills, but rather cloudy for most of us, and mild north or south. temperatures will be typically in the mid—teens today, and then this evening some drizzly weather, particularly out towards the west and the north—west. rather cloudy for most of us and a very mild morning tomorrow. double figures. in fact, on the south coast some spots could be around 13 or 1a celsius. now, tomorrow again starts off very cloudy and murky with some hill fog and drizzle in places, but i think the clouds

will break up through the morning into the afternoon. and i think the second half of the day tomorrow is looking a little bit more cheerful, a bit brighter, certainly to the east of scotland, the north—east of england. 15 degrees in newcastle. not bad at all. maybe even as high as 17 in the south—east of england. now, wednesday, that high pressure is well and truly right on top of us with light winds. could be murky, foggy mornings, but some sunshine developing here and there through the afternoon and the temperatures about the same. mid—teens, perhaps a degree or so higher here and there. and thursday, copycat conditions. but notice weather fronts are starting to approach the north—west of scotland. thursday evening, we've got halloween for the trick—or—treaters. it looks generally dry, even clear in some areas, but some damp weather is expected in the north—west of scotland. and looking at the outlook beyond the weekend into next week with that area of high pressure close by, it looks as though it's going to stay generally quite settled. that's it from me.

bye— bye.
