BBC World Service - Weekend, France sees fourth night of riots

Riots spread across France after the fatal shooting of a teenager by a police officer

Riots spread across France after police shot dead a teenage boy of Algerian descent. Almost 500 arrests were made on Friday night and Saturday morning, with rioters in Marseille looting a gun store. 
 
Also on the programme: Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been banned from running for public office until 2030; and the world’s most famous archaeologist makes a comeback with the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. 
 
Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Jill Rutter, senior research fellow at UK in a Changing Europe, and Emile Chabal, a Reader in History at the University of Edinburgh.
