Police arrest 36 over Lille disorder
At least 36 people have been arrested in Lille in a day of recurring clashes between French police and football fans at the Euro 2016 tournament.
French police said the arrests had been made throughout Wednesday and added that 16 people had been hospitalised.
On Wednesday evening, riot police charged at hundreds of England football fans as flares and bangers were lit.
The BBC's James Reevell said tear gas had been used by riot police and it was mostly England fans that were involved.
Earlier, some English and Russian fans were detained after scuffles.
England and Wales supporters are in the city ahead of the teams' match in nearby Lens on Thursday.
