A far-right MP, Frank Alicio, talks of the need for a state of emergency.

And he blames uncontrolled immigration.

It's the number that's the problem, he says.

We're no longer able to integrate, to assimilate.

But Marseille on the Mediterranean has always been a diverse city, a city of immigrants.

The prevailing view here is that they should not be scapegoated, that teenagers running riot here and in other cities are still children, that they need, above all, rescuing from a violent industry, bringing terror to their streets.

Andrew Harding reporting from Marseille.

Four years ago, Typhoon Rai battered the Philippines, killing around 400 people and destroying hundreds of thousands of homes.

At the time, it was the most powerful storm to ever hit the archipelago.

Now victims of the disaster are suing the oil and gas company Shell, accusing it of contributing to climate change and therefore making such weather events more severe.

I call on Shell to pay.

I heard more about the case from our business correspondent, Nick Marsh.

This is a group of 67 victims of Typhoon Rai, known as Super Typhoon Adet locally in the Philippines.

We're talking exactly four years ago actually is when this typhoon formed and caused all the devastation that you mentioned.

Their argument is that the science shows that this particular storm would not have been as powerful

were it not for climate change.

In fact, they say it was twice as powerful due to climate change.

And who has contributed to that?

Well, the fossil fuel companies, of course.

And they have decided to single out Shell and sue them in the United Kingdom, where the company's headquartered, with the aim of getting a significant amount of compensation.
