Eleven people ​including an ‌aide to a French far-left lawmaker were arrested in ⁠France overnight and early on Wednesday on suspicion of involvement in the killing of a far-right activist. Shortly after ‌the announcement, the Paris headquarters of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party ⁠received a bomb threat and had to be evacuated until the all-clear was given when police secured the scene. France 24's Olivia Bizot has the latest on a story that she says has sent an "earthquake" through French politics.
