Download Hundreds arrested at France protests
There's been violent disorder in Paris and other French cities during a day of mass protests over the cost of living.
Also in the programme: President Zelensky says restrictions on Starlink systems over Ukraine were a planned operation rather than a technical issue, so how is the US using Elon Musk's technology to limit Ukraine's ability to fight? And a rare pink diamond goes on display in France for the first time, 100 years after an amateur heist.
