- More than 400 people are arrested as clashes between police and protesters continue for a third night in France
- In Paris, shops are ransacked and cars set on fire despite a heavy police presence. 40,000 officers were deployed across France
- The violence began on Tuesday after police shot dead a 17-year-old boy of Algerian and Moroccan descent, named as Nahel M, as he drove away from a traffic stop
- The police officer who shot Nahel has apologised to the family. He has been charged with voluntary homicide and his lawyer says he is “devastated”
- Nahel’s mother earlier said she didn’t blame the whole police force – just the officer who fired the lethal shot
- “He saw the face of an Arab, of a little kid, he wanted to take his life,” she said
- On Thursday afternoon, thousands attended a peaceful tribute march led by Nahel’s mother
