Protesters in France escalate their demands

More than 600,000 protesters have taken part in rallies and marches across France, according to France's interior ministry, with five unions joining a day of action demanding more money for wages and public services. Also on the programme: flights are disrupted across Europe by bomb hoaxes. Who might be behind them? And the count continues in Mississippi to choose a new Senator. (Picture: Riots in Lyons.
