Incredible news in Serbia, as grassroots student-led movement unseats Aleksandar Vucic, in power for 14 years, widely criticised as an autocrat. If there’s one thing I learnt from my 3 years there, it’s that Serbs know how to party. Tonight will be wild!

Not just huge for Serbia, whose democratic aspirations after years of war and sanctions have been steadily strangled, but also a sign to other countries that authoritarianism can be defeated by collective people power

…but Paris continues being Paris…and glorious…

Just hit by a huge wave of tear gas, our eyes filled with it, a policeman hitting me on the leg with a baton (I’m fine), pushing the final protesters away from the end of the march. #Paris

La manif continue… #Paris

The crowds keep coming. Huge numbers walking from Porte d’Italie to Porte de Vincennes. All peaceful for now

Protest filling up at Porte d’Italie on the southern ringroad of Paris as police try to contain the unrest. But even if it’s quiet today, this kicks the can down the road as unions have promised rolling strikes from next month. And Macron has no money to throw at the problem.

Back in Paris to cover another planned day of protests tomorrow - and we're staying a couple of streets away from the building where I lived from 2005 to 2007 with my two French flatmates as a squeaky-clean 22 year old intern in the BBC Paris bureau... Oh les souvenirs!

Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin, the man who unleashed the biggest war in Europe since 1945:

“You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being the humanitarian. You are, you are humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you”.

Welcome to the club, @RobJetten, from two dads of two amazing, happy, thriving, stable, loved little people.

“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine, they haven’t been doing much”.

Every day is more staggering than the last.

A true class act bows out

Just going to leave this here, as @BenWallace70 tells @BBCPM that it is clear that Trump wants Putin to win.
