BBC World Service - Newshour, France to deploy 40,000 police officers after protests

At least 180 people have been arrested after a second night of unrest

The clashes erupted after a teenager was fatally shot by police on Tuesday.

France's interior minister has promised to restore order to the streets following a second night of rioting over the police killing of a 17-year-old boy. Gerald Darmanin said 40,000 officers would be deployed. We’ll hear from the family’s lawyer, Yassine Bouzrou. 

Also on the programme: new evidence that gravitational waves reverberating in the universe might have the potential to change our understanding of the cosmos; and we’ll hear from a survivor of a boat that capsized off the coast of Greece two weeks ago with hundreds of migrants on board.
