BBC World Service - Weekend, Police use tear gas to contain protests in Marseille

More than seven hundred arrested during France protests

Police in France have made more than seven hundred arrests during a fifth night of riots. The unrest is in response to the killing by police of a teenager of North African origin on Tuesday. 

On this edition of Weekend, we revisit Russia a week on from the Wagner mutiny. We hear from a resident of Rostov-On-Don where the mutiny started and someone who travelled to Moscow a day before. 

Also in the programme: looking ahead to the “Divas” art exhibition in London we hear from the "Sultan of Sequins" Bob Mackie. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Amie Ferris Rotman, Global News Editor for New Lines Magazine - an online magazine; and Aanu Adeoye, West Africa correspondent Financial Times newspaper.
