There have been clashes between protesters and police in several French cities, as demonstrators call for more investment in schools. Police fired teargas in the southern city of Toulouse, while in Lyon police say they responded when missiles were thrown at officers. The student protests - over a lack of teachers, overcrowded classrooms and run-down buildings - started last month in Paris then spread. Hundreds of schools have been closed. Also in the programme: OpenAI apologises to the Australian government, but is it enough? Germany's former intelligence chief has been arrested on suspicion of espionage; and a Nobel Prize for the Belgian scientist who discovered ghost particles at the South Pole.
