After the fatal shooting of a 17 year old boy by a police officer during a traffic stop in a suburb of Paris, protests and riots have taken place across France over the last week. Thousands have been arrested, shops looted, and hundreds of vehicles set alight. Journalists reporting the story have found themselves a target, with some being injured by protestors. Meanwhile, President Macron has blamed social media and video games for fuelling the violence.

Also in the programme, the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich approaches 100 days behind bars in Russia. The US, the Wall Street Journal and Mr Gershkovich all deny the allegation by the Russian authorities that he is a spy.
