00:21Europe is experiencing another weekend of protests.
00:24Saturday's demonstrations in France began in the mid-afternoon, with hundreds of thousands
00:29of people on the streets, more than 320,000 according to the Interior Ministry.
00:35Just a few hours after the protests began in Paris, clashes were already being reported,
00:41as was also the case in Lyon and Grenoble.
00:44This day of protests coincides with Halloween, with authorities warning of a very high risk
00:49of unrest.
00:52Around 70,000 police officers were deployed across the country, as students, trade unions

01:08with marches permitted on the outskirts.

01:24Residents evacuated from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshki have arrived in a Ukrainian-held

01:42has been successfully completed.
01:45All evacuated Ukrainian citizens, quote, have crossed the border into Ukraine in Chernihiv
01:51Oblast, Zelensky said on X.
01:53The residents travelled by bus and plane through Russia and Belarus, following a deal brokered
02:00by US First Lady Melania Trump.
02:02The crossing took place under restrictions imposed by Ukrainian authorities that did not permit
02:08the disclosure of the number of evacuees.
02:12According to reports, the estimated 2,000 remaining residents were offered the choice of travelling
02:17to Ukrainian or Russian-held territory, or remaining in the city, many residents have been
02:23trapped without food, water and electricity.
02:27The truce in the southern Kherson region is seen as the most significant since Russia's
