Riots continue for fifth night in France

Police in France have made more than four hundred and twenty arrests during a fifth night of protests. The unrest is in response to the killing by police of a teenager of North African origin on Tuesday. Videos show police using tear gas to contain the protests in Marseilles, where nearly sixty people have been arrested.

Also in the programme: a week on from the Wagner mutiny in Russia we will explore Russia and Wagner’s growing role in the Central African Republic; and as the United Kingdom prepares for the upcoming 75-year anniversary of the National Health Service we discuss the role of foreign medics in supporting the health system.

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.
