Just hit by a huge wave of tear gas, our eyes filled with it, a policeman hitting me on the leg with a baton (I’m fine), pushing the final protesters away from the end of the march. #Paris
The crowds keep coming. Huge numbers walking from Porte d’Italie to Porte de Vincennes. All peaceful for now
Protest filling up at Porte d’Italie on the southern ringroad of Paris as police try to contain the unrest. But even if it’s quiet today, this kicks the can down the road as unions have promised rolling strikes from next month. And Macron has no money to throw at the problem.
Remnants of last weekend’s violence - and preparations for more protests tomorrow in Paris, as France’s interior minister pledges 70,000 police and military units to avoid a repeat of the chaos.
Back in Paris to cover another planned day of protests tomorrow - and we're staying a couple of streets away from the building where I lived from 2005 to 2007 with my two French flatmates as a squeaky-clean 22 year old intern in the BBC Paris bureau... Oh les souvenirs!
Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin, the man who unleashed the biggest war in Europe since 1945:
“You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being the humanitarian. You are, you are humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you”.

“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine, they haven’t been doing much”.
Every day is more staggering than the last.
Just going to leave this here, as @BenWallace70 tells @BBCPM that it is clear that Trump wants Putin to win.

How an opposition news channel in Turkey mysteriously ended its broadcast about the latest financial scandal and switched, during the breakfast show hour, to scenes boasting the Turkish countryside.

Extraordinary reporting by the WSJ team @JoeWSJ @DanaMattioli @drewhinshaw @rebeccaballhaus into Trump’s Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle - Don Jr’s ex & former Fox host - has led to her ousting. Staggering to read their exposes on her litany of misconduct. Chapeau.

I always love speaking to @marklowen @BBCNews. We covered:
▪️How #Yemen's #Houthis have become so capable (support from #Iran, exploiting truce, experience, zeal)
▪️Saudi's likely response (kinetic surge, engaging allies)
▪️What #America, #Turkey, #Pakistan might do (provide support but avoid being sucked into direct combat unless strictly limited)
▪️Why the airport attacks are so problematic for #Saudi (step change, no good options, damage not just human, infrastructural, economic, but also reputational with significant knock-on effects)
