Paris Live also looks at the latest from Iran, where the government says it has arrested those responsible for shooting down a Ukrainian passenger jet last week.

We cross to the Sahel summit in Pau which has just wrapped up with a promise from French President Emmanuel Macron to increase the number of soliders helping to fight terrorism in the region.
