France: Unrest continues for fourth day

We hear a conversation with mothers of African descent about their experience with police

The French government has authorised the use of police armoured vehicles to suppress the riots that have swept the country following the death a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent, named as Nahel M, who was shot dead by police on Tuesday in a Parisian suburb. We get the latest from our correspondent on the ground, as protests go into their fourth day nationwide.

We also hear a conversation with two French mothers of African descent about their experience with the police, and how they talk to their children about what is happening in the country.

And Supermodel Naomi Campbell has become a mother for the second time, aged 53. The star, who welcomed her first child two years ago, announced the arrival of her son online on Thursday, telling her followers "it's never too late". We hear from two mums in their fifties - what it’s like being a mum to a new born in your 50s?

We also hear how a court in Uganda ordered the administrator of a WhatsApp group to reinstate a member who had previously been ejected.
