The #schools #protests continue in #France taking a new turn today and putting pressure on the government to (re)act. Talked to @BBCMaryam earlier on @BBCWorld about the challenges.
#France is set for a fresh day of nationwide #demonstrations as movements converge, beyond the #schools cause. But what is behind this for a nation known for its tendency to #protest, #rally and #strike? I explored this for @BBCRadioScot's Reporter's Notebook with @BBCGaryR
#School #protests have now gripped #France for into the fourth week with little sign of let-up, as the movement spreads elsewhere. How does its system compare, and what do the grievances also reveal? Questions we explore in the latest episode of #EuropeWeekly from @ARTEen 🔗in🧵

#Schools in #France are into their third week of #demonstrations with some 500 schools closed or blockaded yesterday. Marches are planned today nationwide, and there is growing concern about both #violence, and disproportionate #police measures. 👇🏻with @rachelburden on @bbc5live
A week of #demonstrations in #schools across #France with challenges for the cabinet and an outbreak of violence. Union reps call for the movement to continue into next week. Breaking it down on @BBCWorld earlier with @cathkemi 👇🏻

🇮🇸 #Iceland's "no" deals a blow to #EU #enlargement plans... What's behind it, meaning for #Europe, and what to say of countries like #Norway that hold close ties with the bloc without being in the club? Check out ep.1 or the new season of @ARTEfr #EuropeWeekly. 🔗👇🏻🧵
Should teenagers go to #prison? As violent #youth #crime rises, #Sweden is considering adult prisons for young offenders and lowering the age of criminal responsibility. Is getting tougher on crime the answer? New #Arte #EuropeWeekly available now 👇🏻arte.tv/en/videos/112907-175…
A piece that was hard to write witnessing and going through this this week... But a snap of reality that should make us all think... and (potentially) trigger much-needed #emergency action. Thank you @heraldscotland for publishing. #heatwave #canicule #france #climate – at Ceaulmont, France
#Drones are now part of #war. With crashes and hostile flights in both the east and the west, the #EU is tackling the problem head-on with an anti-drone shield by 2027. What is it? Will it work? That's what we explored on @ARTEfr #EuropeWeekly this week. 🔗 in 🧵 – at Esvres, France
It's hot in #France. Scorching days, tropical nights. #Heat & warning records broken. All sectors affected. #Energy too - alongside high demand, the operator EDF has closed #nuclear reactors as the cooling water is too warm, as I shared with @Sarah_Montague on @BBCWorldatOne.
#ICE in #Europe? For many, measures set to go ahead for #returnhubs look quite akin to tools deploued over the pond. At @ARTEfr, we explored the topic on #EuropeWeekly, ep. 180. Check it out 👇🏻 A good idea, or a breach of human rights? #immigration #news youtu.be/F-rgBVUvF1k?is=Bwbe…
Return hubs: an answer to irregular #migration or a step too far? Set to enter under pressure from the far right, proponents say they will deter - opponents raise concerns about fundamental human rights. It's our topic in @ARTEen #EuropeWeekly dropping today. #EU #politics #arte
